Chapter 680: My son-in-law cares about me(2/2)
If Ranmasanti withdraws its investment midway, what Lao Zhang will face is that the capital chain will be broken, the filming of the movie will be stopped, and all operations will come to a complete standstill.
The project is already halfway through and you can't give up on the movie, so in order to continue it, you have to find the next suitable investor.
Do you think it is easy to find such a character?
For example, Xiao Zhang, who worked very well with Lao Zhang in the past, was originally a good candidate, but now,
Lao Zhang has offended him and tore up the long-term cooperative relationship.
If there is a problem or trouble, if you go back to Xiao Zhang, Xiao Zhang may not give Lao Zhang face.
The investment in this film is so huge, how could it be so easy to find a director?
However, for Ramashanti, at most it is money invested, which cannot be recovered, and there is no further consumption.
But for Lao Zhang, things are not like that. From the perspective of economic interests, if the film cannot be finished, it can only be shut down and wait for new investors to come in. Lao Zhang will not be so lucky, and there will be a third one.
Two Ranmasanti descended from the sky to solve his problems.
As for human relationships, the damage of this downtime is also huge. First of all, it is those big stars. They have already agreed on a schedule before they come to shoot your movie, so this schedule is time-limited.
Although making a movie is a flexible job and it is impossible to be so precise in terms of time, the actors will never wait for you unconditionally.
If the crew is temporarily disbanded, then when filming starts up again, Lao Zhang is likely to face a situation where the actors he selected at the beginning have other errands and will not be able to participate in the next step of filming.
So, what can you do?
Accuse them of breach of contract? Demand that they complete the filming? Or, hold them responsible for breach of contract and demand compensation?
no no!
Lao Zhang can't do any of these things.
Because the movie's downtime is his responsibility and not caused by the actors. So, on the premise that he breached the contract first, how else can you hold others accountable?
The most important harm lies in Lao Zhang’s face.
How important is Lao Zhang's face? It is the biggest trouble among all kinds of troubles!
If he falls down this time at San Yan Er Pai, then his pretense as an internationally renowned director will not be able to hold on!
Where should he put his face?
How can he still hang out in the circle?
Thinking of this, Lao Zhang felt horrified. Fortunately, he and Wu Di didn't break up completely. It was a very close call.
"So, according to what you said, are you doing this, meddling in my movie, or are you trying to save me?"
"You can't say that. As long as you remember that I also considered you when doing these things, that's enough."
"Think about it, as a representative of investors, who else can think about you like me?"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "If you change someone else, they will not consider you at all. They only consider whether they can make money and how much money they can make. If the movie you make does not meet their requirements
, they can change it at will. I think Mr. Zhang also knows how wealthy those investors are."
Clear, yes clear!
Lao Zhang was speechless. What Wu Di said was all true. Which investor representative would be so kind-hearted as to sit with you and calmly discuss how to calm investors' anger?
Everyone stands with the investors. If you, Mr. Zhang, want to make a movie with a big investment, you have to be prepared for being angry like this.
suffered such a crime.
Who made you want to make big-budget, commercial films?
If it were a drama like that in the past, even if the investors had to pay a small amount, it might not be a big deal, and there would be no big bosses coming to ask Lao Zhang Xingshi to accuse him.
why?
Isn't it because those movies are all made with small investments? As for literary and artistic films, the investment is only in the tens of millions, ranging from as much as thirty to fifty million to as little as ten million, which is enough.
In this case, the chance of investors losing money is relatively small, because there are actually many ways for a movie to make money.
In addition to public screenings, there is also the sale of VCDs, DVDs, etc. There is also a very important channel. If some literary and artistic films fail to make much money in theaters, or even lose money at the box office, as long as the quality is good, or they win
If you win an overseas award, you will most likely be able to sell overseas copyrights, screen it in other countries, and distribute audio and video products.
