Chapter 2427 are not fools
Therefore, Kim Yu-hwan can be sure that Wang Zhonglei asked him to invest in movies together, after all, it is just for the sake of risk sharing. After all, Huayi really doesn't care about the box office dividends of movies now, and it's more reasonable to have hundreds of millions of dollars. Huayi is not unable to make this money.
However, Wang Zhonglei will definitely not allow or accept that he will use Huayi's name to represent Huayi's full investment, which is certain.
Thinking of this, Kim Yu-fan looked at Wang Zhonglei and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, I need to read the script first. After all, the movie adapted from the novel has good popularity and foundation, but we all know that once the movie cannot reach the level described in the novel, or does not reach the imagination of the book fans, the reputation of the movie will be completely ruined, so I must read the script. If necessary, I also need to look at the situation of the special effects team so that I can invest."
"Of course!" Wang Zhonglei nodded with a smile, and agreed without hesitation. After all, this is normal. If Kim Yu-fan really doesn't read the script, he will believe in himself without reading anything, and then spend tens of millions to invest in this movie. Wang Zhonglei will not only not think that Kim Yu-fan is stupid and has a lot of money, but on the contrary, he will also feel that there is a conspiracy against him and Huayi, but he will not dare to nod and agree.
Therefore, this request made by Kim Yu-fan is really normal, and Wang Zhonglei will certainly not refuse.
"Haha, Brother Lei, if I think this movie can be invested and worth investing at that time, I wonder how much share Huayi can give me?"
"The upper limit is half." It seems that Wang Zhonglei has already considered this question and answered it without any thoughts.
"50%" Kim Yu-fan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Wang Zhonglei, and seemed to have not expected Wang Zhonglei to be so direct. Damn he really regarded himself as a model of stupidity and having a lot of money.
Wang Zhonglei was able to give up 50% of the share, which obviously means that Huayi was not optimistic about this movie, so he sought to spread the risks equally and let himself fill in the money. And he said 50% as soon as he opened his mouth. If he talked about it again, wouldn’t it be possible to rise to 60%, or even 80%.
But if you think about it carefully, it is true. Since Huayi is not very sure about this movie, it must be a risk. Anyway, the box office of the movie will lose money by then, and Huayi will not have much impact. If you make a profit, Huayi can continue to invest in the name of this movie. After a little publicity, it can increase Huayi's market value.
Damn, it’s true that it’s Huayi and Wang Zhonglei. On the surface, he smiled and negotiated cooperation with you, but in fact, behind him, he was all about to cheat people, and he was a fool.
But soon, Kim Yu-bun was relieved. He and Wang Zhonglei and even Hua Yi were not related. Since it had nothing to do with him, what was wrong with Wang Zhonglei cheating him? What's wrong with that? What's more, Wang Zhonglei just cheated him, and it was not forcing him to force him. He jumped in and was foolishly and was cheated on his own initiative. This is no wonder.
OK, we are in business, right? Okay, since that's the case, let's try to trick you and see who cheats who.
At least, Kim Yu-fan knew very well that the box office of the movie "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Dragon Search" was literally more than 1.6 billion yuan. Since the final production company and distribution company were borne by the three companies, they could get 40%, which is about 640 million yuan. If the three companies split equally, each company would have an income of about 210 million yuan.
Compared to the investment of up to 100 million yuan and the net profit is 110 million yuan, this seems good. At least it just spends money, then ignores everything, just waits for the movie to be released and waits for the box office results to come out, and then waits for the money to be collected.
Well, if you count it this way, if you can't put the money in the bank's endogenous interest, it is undoubtedly a big profit. Since you have this opportunity, Kim Yu-fan will certainly not miss it, and you must smash this movie.
Well~~~ Of course, there is a prerequisite, that is, you must first confirm that this movie is "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Dragon Search". If it is another movie, wouldn't it be a loss to death?
"That's fine. I don't know what kind of novel it is. I want to read the novel first." Kim Yu-fan said with a smile.
"Well, this novel is still very popular on our Chinese Internet, otherwise it would not have been adapted into a movie. You can read it yourself. After you have a certain understanding of the novel, you will have a clear idea of the script. By the way, this novel is called "Ghost Blows Out the Light".
"Ghost Blows the Light"? What a strange name, is it related to ghosts and gods? I will take time to watch it." When I heard that it was indeed an adaptation of the novel "Ghost Blows the Light", Kim Yu-hwan pretended to be aware of it on the surface, but in his heart he was determined to invest in this movie.
There is nothing to say. The movie "Ghost Blows the Light: The Dragon Search" is certain, so Kim Yu-hwan won't really read the novel. After all, Kim Yu-hwan knows the box office of "Ghost Blows the Light: The Dragon Search" better than anyone else.
Of course, you must do something that you pretend to be. In fact, many things are like this. On the surface, everyone is fooling people, but some things and words cannot be too direct. If they are too direct, they will really not be friends.
Wang Zhonglei came to find Kim Yu-hwan, basically investing in the movie "Ghost Blows Out the Light: Dragon Search". He had almost finished chatting. Wang Zhonglei also smiled and said hello to Kim Yu-hwan, then got up and left.
After all, this is the finale of the crew of "Beijing Meets Seoul". Although there is also a Huayi part, Wang Zhonglei does not pay attention to this movie. This time he came here just to show his face, letting the crew know that the film had Huayi's participation, and there was no future after that. Wang Zhonglei turned around and left casually.
Kim Yu-fan was relieved when Wang Zhonglei left. After all, if Wang Zhonglei didn't leave, his identity and status were there, so Kim Yu-fan couldn't not treat Wang Zhonglei well. More importantly, the two of them had nothing to say, they were not very familiar with each other, and they were digging holes for each other, which was also a bit exhausting.
In contrast, Kim Yu-fan is more willing to chat with Tang Wei or the crew's Chinese staff. At least everyone is sharing the joys and sorrows for more than a month, and there must be feelings.
As Wang Zhonglei left, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became active. It was obvious that Wang Zhonglei's identity and status still had a certain impact on the crew staff. Even if there was no impact, everyone would subconsciously notice Wang Zhonglei. When they saw Wang Zhonglei and Kim Yu-fan talking, they would subconsciously whisper, as if they were worried about disturbing Wang Zhonglei and Kim Yu-fan.
So, the final banquet scene suddenly became much quieter, and it became quieter, so naturally there was no atmosphere.
As Wang Zhonglei left, everyone's volume returned to normal without realizing it. They chatted about gossip, family matters, or some things during filming. The laughter from time to time and the crisp sound of wine glasses clinking each other once again made the atmosphere lively.
"I've finished talking to Mr. Wang." At this time, Tang Wei also came back with a smile, sat down beside Kim Yu-fan, and asked at Kim Yu-fan.
"Well, I talked about something with Brother Lei." Kim Yu-fan nodded with a smile and said nothing. After all, Tang Wei's words about Mr. Wang are enough to show that Tang Wei and Wang Zhonglei have a relatively unfamiliar relationship. Since that is the case, Kim Yu-fan will not continue to talk to Tang Wei about Wang Zhonglei.
"When I was banned, Hua Yi also chose to support me." As if afraid of Kim Yu-fan's misunderstanding, Tang Wei smiled and said calmly: "The director of that movie was not banned, and Liang Chaowei was an iconic actor in Hong Kong, and Hong Kong was his biological child, so of course he would not take action, so he finally chose my heroine."
"I don't know much about the specifics, but I think I heard that before I was about to ban me, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television also asked some representatives in the circle, such as some top directors and actors, and some film companies. Some people objected and some supported them, and some kept silent. But as far as I know, Huayi seemed to be supporting me when I was banned, although I was not sure."
Kim Yu-fan took a breath and nodded seriously. No wonder Tang Wei was so disgusted with Huayi and Wang Zhonglei, and she didn't want to deal with her. There was such a thing.
If you think about it carefully, Tang Wei is a mature and smart woman. If it weren't for this incident, then Huayi's influence and relationship network in the Chinese film industry. As the president of Huayi, although Tang Wei would not curry favor with Wang Zhonglei and please Huayi, there was no need to act like she didn't want to deal with each other. At least, basically the communication should be carried out, and she was familiar with each other. After all, everyone was making a living in the same circle, but she looked up and didn't want to see each other.
Now, with Tang Wei's explanation, Kim Yu-fan understood it all, and could understand why Wang Zhonglei came over. Tang Wei just greeted Wang Zhonglei politely, then stood up and left very firmly. At that time, Wang Zhonglei seemed a little embarrassed, and it didn't matter much. Why did Wang Zhonglei feel a little embarrassed? It turned out that Hua Yi was supporting the ban on Tang Wei.
Well, in just a few seconds, Kim Yu-fan's mind quickly turned around and quickly sorted out the matter.
"Haha, there are some things that Wang Zhonglei probably can't decide. After all, there is a truly hidden boss behind Wang Zhonglei. Besides, the person above asked Huayi to express his opinion. Anyway, no matter what, I don't know much about the matter. Let him go. Anyway, you have almost survived it now. Of course, Huayi and I are just a simple cooperative relationship. Our MC China branch is temporarily under Huayi, and we use Huayi's tiger skin to deceive people, but we are not a subordinate of Huayi and have absolute autonomy."
"Hehe!" Listening to Kim Yu-fan's explanation, Tang Wei smiled happily and squinted her eyes and said, "Don't worry, as you said, the ban is almost coming, and I also heard that the news seems to be over, so I will not consider this matter again. Instead, I would like to thank this ban for allowing me to calm down completely in the past few years. I did not become arrogant because of the smoother development. At the same time, in this matter, I have truly met everyone around me in the past few years, who is a real friend, who is a wine friend, and who is a hypocrite. This is undoubtedly a good thing for me. At least I will never have to be deceived again in the future, and I will not be sad about it."
Kim Yu-fan smiled and said nothing. This is also Tang Wei. If it were someone else, she could face being banned so calmly and calmly. The original relatives and friends around her avoided themselves like they were evading the plague. It seemed a simple thing, but without a strong heart, it would be absolutely impossible.
Finally, Kim Yu-fan announced on the spot that if the box office of "Beijing Meets Seoul" can reach 200 million, then a celebration banquet will be held at that time. If it is 500 million, then a more advanced celebration banquet must be held.
Kim Yu-fan's announcement immediately won the cheers and support of everyone in the crew. After all, this is the confidence of Kim Yu-fan, the director and screenwriter and the protagonist in the movie "Beijing Meets Seoul". Everyone is a crew member of the crew. After working hard for more than a month, no one wants to make a frustration in the movie made by himself working hard for more than a month.
What's more, the box office has achieved good success, and the celebration banquet can be held at that time, and everyone can celebrate happily without any burden. This is definitely the favorite thing all crew members do.
Compared to the finale, the filming of the movie was announced to be over, and everyone worked hard to have a meal. However, whether the movie was effective or not, whether the movie fans would buy it or not, or how the box office would be, is all unknown. If the movie fans don’t buy it, the box office of the movie will be completely defeated, everyone will definitely feel uncomfortable at that time.
Only a celebration banquet can make everyone breathe a sigh of relief, truly relax, and truly enjoy the joy of light skills. After all, it is a celebration banquet, which undoubtedly proves the success of the movie, at least in box office success. At that time, everyone could also breathe a sigh of relief. At least they worked hard for so long, and the facts proved that it was effective and successful.
The film can be successful, and as part of the film, the crew can also enjoy real light skills with peace of mind, rather than the current finale. Although they are happy, everyone is still a little uneasy in their hearts. I don’t know if the movie will be recognized by the movie fans after it is released and what the box office will be like.
Immediately afterwards, it was naturally the post-processing of "Beijing Meets Seoul". In fact, "Beijing Meets Seoul" is just a romance film, not a science fiction or fantasy film, nor a big-scene war film. Of course, there is no place to be post-processed or special effects, so it doesn't take a few days.
However, Kim Yu-fan basically used his Chinese songs as interludes and theme songs in the movie "Beijing Meets Seoul". For example, the song "Change Yourself" was when the heroine played by Tang Wei changed in the movie. At the same time, the two songs "Secessive" and "Forever Love" were also used as the theme and ending songs of the movie.
Anyway, the songs are worthy of the movies, the lyrics are worthy of it, and the quality of the songs itself is also good. In addition, it is Kim Yu-hwan's own songs, and Kim Yu-hwan owns the copyright of the songs. Of course, Kim Yu-hwan will not be polite and will directly put these songs into the movies.
As for looking for some English songs as the theme and ending songs like the original version, Kim Yu-hwan has no idea at all, and he doesn't want to waste this little money.
In Kim Yu-fan's opinion, "Beijing Meets Seoul" was originally filmed for Chinese movie fans. Since they are Chinese movie fans, of course they have to choose Chinese songs, which is suitable. As for English songs, forget it, it's not suitable. This is like a Hollywood movie suddenly displaying Chinese songs as interludes, even theme songs and ending songs. Damn it's your luck to not be criticized to death.
Of course, there is no problem with Huayi. After all, as the director, screenwriter and starring of "Beijing Meets Seoul", Kim Yu-hwan is also one of the producers, and is definitely qualified to determine the musical issues of the movie. What's more, these songs are all Kim Yu-hwan's own songs. Put in the movie, the quality of the songs is excellent, and the lyrics are also suitable for the content of the movie itself. This can not only add color to the movie, but also help Kim Yu-hwan promote the songs. This is a win-win situation, and Wang Zhonglei naturally has no objection.
In fact, Wang Zhonglei doesn't pay attention to the movie "Beijing Meets Seoul", so he basically just goes through the motions. As for things like episodes, Wang Zhonglei doesn't even care about it. He just goes to play Kim Yu-hwan and plays whatever he wants. Anyway, Huayi only receives a release commission in the movie "Beijing Meets Seoul" and doesn't care about box office dividends. How much box office do you expect to have for a romance film with a 30 million investment?
Because "Beijing Meets Seoul" is a romance film, there is really nothing to promote, so the promotional cost is basically not much. Strictly speaking, the movie "Beijing Meets Seoul" basically has little publicity. At most, the two protagonists Kim Yu-fan and Tang Wei are on the show to promote, and most of them are Kim Yu-fan on the show to promote.
The reason is very simple, that is, Tang Wei's ban storm has not yet passed. Although the ban storm has also passed, otherwise Tang Wei would not have continued to take on filming, and Wang Zhonglei would not have invited Tang Wei to film the movie "Beijing Meets Seoul" just because Tang Wei was appointed by Kim Yu-fan.
But the ban storm has passed but it has passed, but no one knows when it has passed. The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television did not say anything, so everyone should keep a low profile.
Damn, look at you, you are pitiful. We silently cancel the ban on you. You turn around and shoot a movie. Then as the movie is finished and ready to be released, you start to appear on the show and promote movies in various ways. What does this mean? Slap our State Administration of Radio, Film and Television in the face, right? That's fine. Don't play anymore. We won't pay you up. Continue to ban it. You are quieter and we will also worry a little.
Chapter completed!
