- As the winter vacation ended, the 2004 winter semester began, and students across the United States returned to school one after another.
It¡¯s the season of receiving gifts again! Ye Wei was almost overwhelmed by everyone's Christmas and New Year gifts. His hands hurt when opening the gifts. Being so popular meant he was a little worried about happiness.
The talent treatment continued. Due to production meetings, he frequently asked for leave and went to the Cheyenne Enterprise headquarters in Santa Monica for meetings.
After a few meetings, Arnold Rifkin must have changed his mind about him. At first, he thought that even if he was a genius, he wouldn¡¯t really know much. But gradually he discovered that he really did! So Rifkin treated him as a professional, and discussions on various matters became much faster.
If it were the industrial model of a Hollywood studio, it would be quick to hold production meetings at this stage for a few months to half a year. But fortunately, we are all independent production companies and can neither afford that time nor have such interest.
After seven meetings, in mid-January, the two sides finally reached several important consensuses!
The production budget of "Little Miss Sunshine" is determined to be US$5 million; the financing method will not be overseas pre-sales, but will be produced directly through joint ventures.
In terms of share distribution, Cheyenne Enterprise invested 3 million, accounting for 60%. This money was used to carry out the preliminary preparations of the project and support the entire filming period.
We will accept other producers who are interested in investing and raise 1 million, accounting for 20%. They will only be investors and have no rights to participate in production and distribution.
For the remaining 20%, Dream Chaser Alliance will invest 500,000 of the value of the script and pay 500,000 in cash later, which means it will only be used during the post-production stage of the project, so Ye Wei has a long time to raise this money, regardless of What method does he use. If the Dream Chaser Alliance cannot come up with the money by then, Cheyenne Enterprises will pay and assume the 10% share.
Ye Wei doesn¡¯t think so. He really has a lot of rich friends. If he saves some pocket money for a year, it¡¯s not a problem to raise another 500,000 yuan. If necessary, he can also use his own money.
You must know that this budget can actually be quoted as 30 million! 25 million is Willis' salary. If you invest 500,000, you can get 10% of the shares (3 million). You can make money no matter what.
Because the 500,000 yuan for the script is not really money, only 4.5 million of the 5 million budget can actually be used, 3 million for pre-production and shooting, and 1.5 million for post-production and post-paid salary.
4.5 million is not a small amount for an independent family road movie with no special effects or big scenes. The announced production cost of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" was only 5 million, and it was still shot on film. , decided to shoot "Little Miss Sunshine" digitally, which was enough.
But there is a premise, online expenses cannot account for how much money is inside! Preferably zero!
So Willis gets zero pay, and after the film reaches the break-even point, he gets a 20% dividend on the global revenue; Ye Wei gets zero pay, and gets a 0% dividend, and works hard without complaining, but has a chance to show his talent;
The script is still the same 500,000 yuan. Except for future promotions, Arndt will no longer participate in the creation of the film. It is best not to even go to the set, so as not to say "I didn't think so here", "It shouldn't be shot like this", " Don't act like that!", and then angered the director, offended the lead actor, was kicked out of the set, and was banned from entering the set again This is the fate of many screenwriters.
As for the producers, in addition to Ye Wei, we also need to hire two executive producers with a budget of about 1 million, part of which will be paid after the profit is made, and will be paid if it makes no money.
Then there are the salaries of the other five leading actors. The budget is also 1 million, and there are also post-profit payments and dividends.
It depends on whether you invite a big name, a well-known actor, or a newcomer.
Big names usually get zero remuneration, dividends, and post-profit bonuses, but the reason for joining is only the cash. The most important thing is the intangible wealth: giving Willis face, awards, fame, interest, and opportunities to turn around. The last point refers specifically to those outdated big names that have had bad luck in recent years.
Well-known actors are almost the same, but they don¡¯t get bonuses, but they get a certain remuneration. Newcomer? That's Willis starring! Just work hard and don't complain.
This project is unusual, and Willis is involved. It is not impossible to invite several big names to form a heavyweight cast. Willis can even ask his friend Stallone to play a guest role.
But when Ye Wei gave out a list of starring roles in his mind, Rifkin was still shocked, "Boy, you really dare to think!"
"When people have great ambitions, they will naturally become great." Ye Weixiao said something about Goethe.
Robert De Niro plays the grandfather, Tim Roth plays the uncle, and Julia Roberts plays the mother! As for the brother and the little beauty, casting decisions need to be made.
No one says it will work, and no one says it won¡¯t work. It¡¯s just a matter of chance.
At present, all this is just an intention plan, and a contract is??Not signed.
Ye Wei¡¯s wishful thinking was wrong. It¡¯s impossible to get into trouble after signing the contract. Lovett and Bloch are both old foxes who have become goblins. Only when the contract is confirmed can there be a contract!
What are you sure about? Of course it is the foundation upon which all this is built, the new American idol: "Genius Ye Wei"!
This needs to be built, and to build it requires a detailed plan. In the past half month, no matter how Ye Wei refused, the big shots insisted on the "young couple" plan.
There is no other way! The only way! Talent will not allow him to be exposed for a long time unless he releases a new movie every day; neither will the American dream. During the wave of craze, everyone knows him, but after a few months, people will ask "Who is Ye Wei?" I don¡¯t know, I only know Tom Ye and Sam Ye. Their American dream is so touching!
Only love can do this. This is the best trick that will never change in the celebrity entertainment industry. It was like this before, it is like this now, and it will be like this in the future. Only one street photo shoot every week can maintain fame.
And I¡¯ve said it a hundred times, it can¡¯t be Lily Collins!
She is a British girl, born in the UK, has a British father, and has a British accent. She is so British! Americans have very complicated feelings towards Britain. They have a kind of closeness. Sometimes they find Britain very charming, but more often they feel ridicule, disdain and irony. Long live the Queen of England - the country of sissies!
Lovett asserted that even if Lily Collins debuts, she will easily get many opportunities in the beginning because of her influential parents, but her stardom will not be much better. She will be the kind of person who will not please both sides and will be laughed at. She is an idiot second-generation star who relies on her parents but can't achieve anything.
Especially after Ye Wei revealed that she didn¡¯t want to fall in love in the public eye, both Lovett and Bloch shook their heads. She was definitely not the most popular female star in Hollywood in the future.
Ye Wei didn¡¯t mean to ask Lily openly, but just did a test and asked her whether they would be besieged by the paparazzi when they went on a date on the street after he became famous
It can be said that Lily's reaction was what he expected. She became very angry at once and said decisively, almost breathlessly: "Then let's go to places where they can't find them! These rubbish media, these papa rubbish I Hate them"
Ye Wei could see that her psychology towards the "news media" was quite complicated, and she didn't want to talk to him about it yet.
But he could probably guess what was going on. Maybe Lily suffered some psychological trauma when her parents divorced when she was a child. She hated those entertainment reports on celebrity love and marriage, which he discovered by accident.
At that time, in the utility room, Lev and Bud were watching "Variety" gossiping about celebrity romances, discussing and laughing while watching. As a result, Lily happened to come in. When she saw him, her expression changed immediately. She said hello to him and left again.
This seemed to give her some faith in the news media. On the one hand, she hated the entertainment news, but on the other hand, she dreamed of being the youngest talk show host.
¡°Perhaps she thinks news should be open and open, and anyone who wants to be interviewed can go on the show instead of being photographed on the street all day long, exposing everything.
So, with Lily like this, what kind of "Youth Couple" package should she be included in? It's impossible, and Ye Wei doesn't like it himself. He shouldn't fall in love like this.
"Boy, you have to understand who you are. You are not Leonardo. You have no choice! We can't carry out our work at all if you act like this. Without the little lovers, there would be no idols and there would be no "Little Miss Sunshine". Do you understand? Dump that English girl and get ready for a new date!"
"I told you, Lily and I have a very good relationship!"
Ye Wei once again clearly rejected Lovett's suggestion. It is now common for him and Lily to hug each other on dates and kiss a lot. They can confirm the relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend at any time. However, they have a tacit understanding. When will it be confirmed? This year How about Valentine's Day?
Lovett was immediately angry. This time he stopped talking to him and told Willis, no, this guy can't praise him. He's too stupid.
But Ye Wei has also thought of a way to let him open a column in some newspaper or magazine to write about film reviews, life, anything, so that his talent can continue to be displayed!
After another major discussion, everyone finally reached a consensus on this aspect.
Ye Wei will first appear in front of the media as a single person, and then they will find a single white female star of the same age who is willing to cooperate with the hype. Regardless of whether it is true or false, let her express her appreciation to Ye Wei to the media, like his talent, and like him dream, Ye Wei then responded, thanking him.
In this way, the media adds fuel to the flames, creating a feeling that both parties appreciate each other and are interested in each other. After several rounds of speculation, it is better than actually going out on a date and becoming a couple.The effect on humans is naturally far inferior, but it is better than nothing at all.
?? Next, Ye Wei opens that column and also opens a personal website online. He must really have the talent to write articles that are interesting, meaningful, and popular! Of course, each of his articles will be checked by the public relations team and necessary modifications and polishes will be made.
If Ye Wei refuses to accept this plan, then there is no need to continue the whole thing.
After repeatedly making it clear that there was no need to actually go on a date, Ye Wei nodded in agreement, and that was it! Although in his opinion, the step of flirting with an actress through the air is purely superfluous, but these old stubborns insist on forget it, just think of it as being secretly in love with someone.
When the matter was finally settled, a big stone fell from his heart, leaving only peace and happiness, and he waited for the specific contract to be drawn up and then signed.
Of course, the public relations and marketing methods will not be clearly written in. Ye Wei will only be asked to "cooperate with the public relations team to manage the public image." If he does not cooperate, both parties can terminate the contract.
By the way, he had one more task early on, a football league championship title!
There is a big difference between a football captain and a champion football captain. When he is also a talented man, a good athlete, and also liked by beautiful women, he doesn't have to worry about those young people not being obsessed with him.
So this season, he will lead the team to fight for the championship. This really makes Coach Careyoni happy. The schedule in January is very intensive, but there is VIY in every game!
In every game, Ye Wei tried his best to tear his opponent into pieces and devour him! - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
