Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    ??

    Chen Yao has watched this movie called "Mysterious Journey" from beginning to end. He guesses that the filming and production costs of the movie will not be very high. If possible, he will buy the copyright of the movie.

    Director Li Chenguang responded to him: "The movie does not have big-name stars, it is just some lesser-known actors, and the production cost is not high. The investors only spent 30 million."

    In other words, it¡¯s just a small-budget movie.

    After Chen Yao thought deeply, he quickly said: "I want to meet the investors and buy the copyright of this movie."

    Li Chenguang was surprised, how is this different from gambling?  !

    "Mysterious Journey" can't even be released now. Even if the modifications pass review and release, the cost may not be recovered.

    I really don¡¯t understand why he still bought this bad movie?

    Li Chenguang really didn¡¯t understand: ¡°Why?¡±

    "It's hard to explain to you at the moment. Please contact him."

    Half an hour later, Green Pavilion Cafe.

    Chen Yao drove his Zhanlong car into the parking lot, and then activated the automatic parking space finding function. Soon, the car automatically recognized the empty space and drove in automatically.

    By chance, a convertible Audi car drove up, and he saw Chen Yao grabbing the parking space first. The driver was dissatisfied and said: "It was so hard to find the parking space, who the hell took it from me."

    He looked very unhappy and exited the car.

    Chen Yao is speechless, what kind of quality do you have? Whoever takes your parking space is obviously you who are slow.

    Pushing open the glass door of the cafe, a blast of air-conditioned wind blew in his face, and Li Chenguang led him upstairs.

    Because there were some very important things to talk about, a private room was opened, and Chen Yao walked in. Chen Yao sat down in the seat in front of the window.

    He called the waiter to bring him a cup of cappuccino, chatted with the director and waited for the investors to arrive.

    After waiting for 10 minutes, a young man wearing a blue suit and gray trousers walked in from outside.

    Li Chenguang immediately stood up and introduced: "This is the investor of "Mysterious Journey", Mr. Pan Lunbei."

    Chen Yao raised his head and looked at him. He felt so familiar. Isn't he the one who cursed in the parking lot just now?

    The first impression is extremely bad. It is not surprising that such a character turned the movie like this.

    "Are you Chen Yao?" Pan Lunbei sat down opposite and looked over with a smile.

    Chen Yao said calmly: "Yes. I want to talk to you about the movie "Mysterious Journey"."

    ¡°Both of us are businessmen, so talking about movies is naturally from a business perspective.

    Pan Lunbei called the waiter to serve a glass of Blue Mountain: "The "Mysterious Journey" movie needs to be re-edited before it can pass the review, but

    This will lead to a significant reduction in the quality of the film and the box office failure.

    ?? Is there any way to save your company¡¯s special effects?  "

    ??The acting skills, plots, etc. of many Hollywood movies are terrible, and even make people feel confused after watching them?

    But its special effects are indeed well done, and the special effects alone can increase its popularity.

    "Mysterious Journey" has a lot of room for improvement in terms of special effects, but the problem is that Pan Lunbei doesn't want to invest too much money in special effects, which is really risky.

    Chen Yao said: "I can't guarantee it 100%, I can only say that you can give it a try."

    "How much would it cost to have special effects like "Survival" for a movie?"

    Pan Lunbei has played games produced by Legendary Locus, which have realistic graphics, rich details, and perfect rendering. Because of this, he found Chen Yao and asked his company's team to do movie special effects.

    Chen Yao took a sip of coffee: "It depends on how many minutes of special effects your movie needs?"

    Pan Lunbei is just an investor. He made a huge mistake by repeatedly revising the script during the filming of "Mysterious Journey".

    Now, he honestly asked the director for his opinion.

    Li Chenguang thought for a while and said, "It will take at least 40 minutes."

    Chen Yao made a price: "Ten thousand per second."

    Movie special effects are a costly thing and are calculated in seconds. Don¡¯t underestimate that second. It often takes a team dozens of hours to complete.

    Labor cost, time cost, machine cost, if the director is not satisfied, the cost will have to be modified.

    Pan Lunbei did the math, it costs 10,000 in one second, 600,000 in one minute, and 24 million in 40 minutes!

    Even though he was not short of money, he was shocked by the cost of special effects.

    Looking at his expression?, Chen Yaoyi said with a smile: "This price is already low. If you find a Hollywood special effects company to achieve the effects like ours, it will cost at least 80 million or more."

    Pan Lunbei will not doubt this, but the problem is that 24 million is not a small number.

    The key point is that this is a movie that is on the verge of death. Is it worth spending so much money to save it?

    Pan Lunbei said: "Frankly speaking, my budget is within 10 million, and the risk of excessive investment is too great."

    "If you are not willing to spend money, you will never get good special effects. If it is less than 10 million, the special effects of the movie will be very rough, the viewing quality will be greatly reduced, and it will not have any effect on improving the box office."

    Pan Lunbei asked: "If I spend 24 million, can the box office exceed 6 million?"

    "Mr. Pan, there is no such thing as special effects. Special effects are only one element of a movie. Whether it does well at the box office depends on the final market response."

    The private room was very quiet, and Pan Lunbei was in a dilemma.

    Take it, in case the box office is bleak, isn't it a waste of money?

    Give it up. I invested 30 million to shoot before, and those money had to be drifted.

    "I have a great idea, would you like it?"

    "explain."

    Chen Yao quickly said: "Sell me the copyright of "Mysterious Journey"."

    Since you have no confidence, selling is a good choice.

    Pan Lunbei took a sip of coffee: "40 million, the full copyright of the movie belongs to you."

    "Boss Pan, you are a bit too big-mouthed. You and I know the situation of the movie very well. Whether it can be released or not is a question. Why are you still asking for 40 million?"

    Pan Lunbei held out three fingers: "Thirty million. The investment cost of the movie is 32 million. Now it will be enough to barely recover the cost."

    ?? Chen Yao is not a harried person, so he can accept 30 million, so he agreed with a hum.

    Next, the two discussed some contract details for a long time. They bought "Mysterious Journey" for 30 million, and Chen Yao owned 100% of the copyright of the film.

    The movie¡¯s release and derivative income all belong to him.

    Afterwards, the two walked into the Music Note Dance Company and found a secretary to make the contract.

    Chen Yao signed the contract without any objection. Similarly, Pan Lunbei also signed his name.

    Until now, Li Chenguang still doesn¡¯t understand why Chen Yao spent 30 million to buy a bad movie that can¡¯t be released yet?

    Is he really sure that he can bring "Journey into Mystery" back to life?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
