The bard joins the entertainment industry - Chapter 476 Three methods, let’s talk!
Ning Hao glanced at Chen Shuo and said with a strange look in his eyes: “I don’t want to make underground movies.”
Chen Shuo was stunned and said with a smile: “I didn’t want to make an underground film, but based on the quality of Brother Shi’s script, I feel that as long as the filming is not bad, it should be able to win some awards, or at least be nominated for a few.
If my brother can give me some guarantee, I can help him raise funds for the filming. “
After a pause, he added: “Of course, the premise is that senior brother must have confidence.”
Listening to his tone, Ning Hao was thoughtful, and then said seriously: “Junior brother, I won’t play tricks on you. I don’t have much confidence that I can really win the prize, but I can guarantee that if If you participate in more film festivals, you will definitely get certain nominations.”
“Okay!” Chen Shuo clapped his hands and said, “I will help Senior Brother find a way to invest in this movie.”
He didn’t believe that this movie could really win an award just because of Ning Hao’s words.
Rather, I feel that based on this script alone, if it participates, it should be able to win original screenplay awards at some small film festivals, and at least get some nominations.
With these honors, there is room for maneuver and money can be made.
“Really?!” Not only Ning Hao, but also Yue Xiaojun, Zhang Cheng, Du Jie, Huang Bo, Xing Aina and others stood up and asked in unison.
The sudden arrival of so many people immediately frightened the people around them and turned their gazes over.
However, Ning Hao and others didn’t care at all, they just stared at Chen Shuo closely.
Chen Shuo looked around, pressed his hands and said: “Everyone, sit down, everyone, sit down, senior brother, don’t get excited.”
After everyone sat down, he said: “If you want six million, I can also pay it, but although I have confidence in you, it is definitely impossible for me to pay such a large amount of money myself. The risk is too great.
I’ll tell my senior brother a few ways, and you guys can discuss them and see which ones you think are suitable. “
Ning Hao couldn’t wait to lean forward and asked: “Junior brother, please tell me.”
Chen Shuo stretched out a finger and said: “The first one is to find outsiders to invest. During this period, many people have money and nowhere to spend it, and want to invest in something.
I can help my brother introduce a few people, and you can easily raise the funds you want. “
Ning Hao and others were stunned again after hearing this. Yue Xiaojun couldn’t help but ask: “Is there such a person? Why haven’t we met him before?”
Ning Hao said thoughtfully: “Are you talking about those coal bosses? I seem to have heard people talk about it during this time. Many people made money from coal mines and started investing heavily in buying houses.”
Chen Shuo nodded and said: “Although most of these people still focus on buying houses, many people have already set their sights on investing in movies and TV series.
They don’t have many requirements, there is only one requirement, the actress must be beautiful and pleasing to the eye, and nothing else will interfere with you.
If you want, I can introduce one to you, and then you can discuss with him whether he should invest fully or find a few people to invest together. “
Ning Hao asked: “How did you know each other?” Just after he asked, he felt a little inappropriate, and then said: “If it’s not convenient to say, just pretend I didn’t ask.”
“There’s nothing that can’t be said. Our company’s “Jian Yu Jiang Hu” has such an investor who is very generous.
This movie alone invested 10 million, and then only took a small part of the share.
Later, I heard that our company has other TV series productions, and I asked to continue to participate in the investment. “
“Ten million?!” Ning Hao and others were shocked again, thinking that they had all worried about six million and hadn’t raised one million yet.
Now people can get 10 million at a time, which makes them envious and a little jealous.
But they also know that the fame of Zhou Yi + Zhang Yimou is there. Zhang Yimou’s name alone is worth more than 10 million, it is incomparable.
Even Xing Aina looked at Ning Hao, wanting him to agree to Chen Shuo’s proposal.
They are not greedy either. As long as the other party can find two more people to join them and collect six million for them, let alone the two actresses, they can be praised.
Ning Hao hesitated for a moment and then asked: “What about the second one?”
Chen Shuo stretched out two fingers and said: “The second thing is that I will introduce you to Liu Dehua, Brother Hua.
He has taken the lead in launching the ‘Asian Rising Star Directors’ project since last year, intending to select six young directors across Asia and fund their filming.
Based on the quality of Senior Brother’s book, I can guarantee that it will be recognized and supported by Brother Hua.
As for how much money I can give you, it depends on how attractive your book is to Brother Hua.
Of course, 6 million fully invested, I guess is a bit of a stretch.
After all, he planned to support six people, and each six million would be thirty-six million. He didn’t have that much money.
Of course, apart from the lack of funds, he or his actors can also be invited to participate. This is a good publicity point for an unknown work. “
Ning Hao couldn’t help but feel a little moved after hearing this. He hesitated when he asked Boss Mei to invest before because Boss Mei couldn’t bring him resources in the entertainment industry.
Sometimes a movie needs not only money, but also connections and people.
When he hesitated, Yue Xiaojun and others immediately thought of combining these two methods.
First get the contact information of the coal boss from Chen Shuo, and then go to Xiangjiang to find Liu Dehua and get his support. In this way, you will have funds and connections.
Keep giving him a look.
They have known each other for such a long time, and Ning Hao is not stupid. He can naturally think of anything they can think of.
But looking at Chen Shuo’s attitude, he decided to slow down and ask about the third method.
Ning Hao ignored the looks of several people, took a deep breath, and asked, “Junior brother, do you have a third plan?”
Chen Shuo smiled, held out three fingers and said: “As for the third method, our company is also interested in investing in some movies, and even signing some talented directors, screenwriters and photographers.
If my brother is willing, he can sign a contract with our company and agree to produce several works within a few years.
In this case, you only need to be responsible for getting money for filming, and you don’t need to worry about the rest of raising funds, distribution, etc.
As long as it can complete the shooting task. “
Ning Hao was not surprised after hearing this. The first two methods given by Chen Shuo had nothing to do with him.
At most, he can introduce some investors and friends in the circle who are interested in investing through his own connections.
Although he had never thought of these two methods before and had no way of doing it, after hearing about them, he realized that he could complete them by himself if he took a little more trouble.
This is inconsistent with Chen Shuo’s interest after reading his script.
Moreover, after Chen Shuo finished speaking, he also remembered it.
Although Chen Shuo is so famous as an actor and singer, people always regard him as a front-stage figure.
But it is undeniable that he now still has the identity of a shareholder of Zhouyi Film Production Company.
He also owns a company and is the boss.
If you really want to see something good, why don’t you think about putting it in your bowl?
Yue Xiaojun, Xing Aina and others also figured it out, and couldn’t help but ponder, weighing the pros and cons.
Now it is obvious that Chen Shuo is interested in them and wants to sign them, at least he wants to sign Ning Hao.
If I sign a contract, at least I don’t have to worry about anything else for this movie. I can just make what I want to film and get the money.
Although there may be some restrictions in the future, at least I will have no worries about food and clothing.
Of course, there are also disadvantages. The content you shoot in the future may be affected by the company. If the company you want to shoot does not agree, you can only shoot content you don’t want to shoot.
And if he didn’t sign the contract, Chen Shuo simply gave three methods. Even if he and others directly proposed to merge the first and second methods, he would not refuse.
But this affection only allows him to help with matchmaking. It still depends on yourself to what extent you can achieve it in the future.
Moreover, after filming this movie, it is easy to say that they will make money, and there must be many people willing to invest in them.
But if the money is lost, then the road to their dreams may be even more bumpy. I don’t know how long it will take for this second filming opportunity.
At that time, it may be better to rely on a company to have a second chance to turn around.
Ning Hao also noticed everyone’s hesitation and said to Chen Shuo: “We need to discuss this.”
Chen Shuo nodded and said: “It should be so. In this case, we will report to Teacher Wang first.
Senior brother, please discuss it and call me after you decide. I haven’t changed my mobile phone yet. “
“Okay, thank you junior brother this time.” Ning Hao and others stood up and sent Chen Shuo away, and they sat down again.
After a moment of silence, Ning Hao asked, “I wonder what everyone thinks?”
Zhang Cheng was the first to say: “I have no intention of signing a contract, I would rather write something of my own in the future.
But my decision has no impact on you.
No matter what plan you choose, I can participate in the production of this drama. Whether there is any chance of cooperation in the future, it depends on fate. “
Ning Hao nodded. Zhang Cheng got to know them because he knew Yue Xiaojun. No matter what choice he made, it was his freedom.
What he values is the thoughts of Yue Xiaojun, his girlfriend Xing Aina, and his classmate Du Jie.
Yue Xiaojun can not only write scripts, but also direct and photograph. He is an all-rounder.
Du Jie is his classmate. When he was filming “Green Grass”, he followed him around without any regrets. The relationship is naturally different.
Xing Aina, his girlfriend, the two had relied on each other during the most difficult times, so he naturally needed to consider her opinion.
As for Huang Bo, just like Zhang Zheng, there is no need to think too much.
He chose Huang Bo to participate because of his previous performance in “Let’s Go, Get in the Car”.
As a director, he still has a certain degree of autonomy. It is not difficult to give Huang Bo a role.
Now it depends on whether he is willing to join Zhouyi.
Xing Aina was the first to express her position, saying: “I listen to you, whatever you decide will be done, I support it.”
Yue Xiaojun and Du Jie took a look at it and said, “How you decide on this drama is entirely up to you. If you want to sign a contract, we are willing to follow, but at least the signing conditions must be suitable.
If we feel it is not suitable and you are inclined to sign the contract, we can only follow the regulations. “
Ning Hao glanced at a few people and made up his mind: “Then let’s talk to him.”
