447 Qin Yu's Thoughts
The sound of sparrows outside the window woke up two men and women who were still sleeping in the room. Qin Yu reached out and touched the cell phone at the head of the bed. It was almost half past eight.
It has been a long time since I was so sleepy. Qin Yu, who sat up, shook his head. Although the air was very poor recently due to winter heating problems, Qin Yu has not gone to morning exercises for several days. But he has never gotten up after eight o'clock like today.
Looking at Qin Yu who came back from washing up, Song Ran, who was still lying in the quilt, looked at the dark outside the window and couldn't help but ask: "Is it snowing outside?"
"No." Qin Yu took out a leather jacket from the closet to wear it today, and explained to Song Ran: "The air is too bad recently, and it is the winter heating season again, and it has smog."
Song Ran stood up and looked out the window and found that it was indeed foggy. Although it was still a thin layer, as time went by and there was no wind today, the fog would probably be heavier and heavier.
"You said we don't use the heating, and we will suffer from the poor air brought by this heating season." Feeling the coolness brought by the floor, Song Ran got into the bed again.
In Song Ran's opinion, Qin Yu's small courtyard is good, but she is angry that there is no urban heating.
Now the two people need to use air conditioners for heating, but because the outside temperature is too low, the air conditioner is always heating, defrosting, heating, and defrosting. In the end, the temperature does not increase much, and the electricity bill is spent a lot.
"It's much better now. My dad and I used to burn honeycomb coal to keep warm. Do you see the hole in the glass on the main hall? That's the one who used to walk on the chimney." Qin Yu reached out and turned off the air conditioner that had already been on strike and said to Song Ran: "Get up quickly. Brother Jie is going to Muxidi today, and we need to be a companion."
Hearing Qin Yu's words, Song Ran stayed for a while before getting up. After going to the bathroom to wash, he sat in front of the dressing table by the window. While dressing up, he asked Qin Yu in a silly manner: "What time did you play last night? I feel that it's almost over a little after you come back."
Yesterday, after the dinner at Taifeng Building ended, everyone began to separate. In order to thank Li Lianjie, Liu Dehua, Cheng Kexin and others for their support, Qin Yu booked a private room at the VICS bar, and they were also happy together. Xu Zheng, Ning Hao, Huang Bo and others were also with Qin Yu's girlfriend. As Qin Yu's girlfriend, Song Ran consciously did not follow him, but found a familiar beauty salon with Tao Hong and went to do a spa.
Although women are relieved that you go out with your friends to play, they still need to check what they should do. Often, random questions hide her tricks.
Qin Yu answered truthfully: "Our wine party ends before twelve o'clock. Brother Jie, Brother Hua and others have something to do tomorrow, so there is no delay. So Brother Xu took them back to the hotel."
Yesterday's wine party was originally a thank-you board, which was a normal social engagement in interpersonal relationships. Everyone was not too excited at the bar. Qin Yu opened a few bottles of good wine and spent more than 10,000 yuan. Not only did he give face to the few people who came to help, but he also gave face to the bar owner Na Ying.
"Brother Xu invited Director Ye to be the director of "Lost in the Road" last night." Qin Yu told Song Ran another thing about the drink last night.
"Aren't Brother Xu going to direct it himself?" Song Ran stopped the movement in his hand and turned his head to ask in surprise.
This drama was led by Shanghai Lemon Film and Television, jointly invested by Xu Zheng's studio, Shiba Brokerage Company and Xiaoma Pentium. The total investment is 6 million.
Among them, Lemon Film and Television accounts for 30% of the total income with the copyright of the script and one million funds. Xu Zheng Studio invested 1.5 million yuan and his own film pay accounted for another 30%. Shiba Agency and Xiaoma Pentium share the remaining investment, each accounting for 20% of the income. However, among them, the actors will be mainly selected by Shiba Agency, and Xiaoma Pentium will be responsible for the later release.
As the legal person of Lemon Film and Television, Song Ran is very clear about the entire process of this drama. According to the prior agreement, Xu Zheng will be the producer, director and male lead of this drama. How did he quit the director now?
Qin Yu sat by the window and explained to Song Ran: "It's still director of Brother Xu, Director Ye is the coordinator. After all, Brother Xu is a novice. Although he is good at acting, he also needs a process, and Director Ye meets this condition."
"Director Ye has no objection?" After all, directors are the most powerful in domestic crews, and general directors will not allow actors to interfere in the filming.
"You don't know Director Ye, he is a famous panacea in Xiangjiang. Wang Jing, Liu Weiqiang, and Zhou Xingchi have all invited him to be assistant directors, so in the drama "The Legend of the Conquest", Director Cheng invited him to coordinate."
Ye Weimin may be considered a relatively low-key director among the directors of Xiangjiang. He has been Wang Jing for many years. Ye Weimin participated in many of his classic films such as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
His characteristic is that he is good at coordinating and is well versed in the film production process, but his camera language is average and he is not too focused on the authority of the director.
When he collaborated with Zhou Xingchi, Zhou Xingchi proposed that he directed some of the plots he had directed, but Ye Weimin did not object, and also guided the difficulties encountered by Zhou Xingchi during the guidance process. It was also through this film that Zhou Xingchi gradually embarked on the road of self-written, directed and acted in the later stages.
Last night, everyone was chatting in the bar and was talking about this. Xu Zheng, who was a little worried about his first directing, had this idea and communicated with Qin Yu privately. Qin Yu also agreed, so he sent an invitation to Ye Weimin. Ye Weimin happened to have not received any other drama invitation after "The Promise of the Fame". When he heard Xu Zheng describe the plot of the movie, he was very moved and said he was acceptable.
After putting on makeup, Song Ran stood up and prepared to choose the clothes he wanted to wear today. He said reluctantly to Qin Yu: "We have hired two assistant directors for Brother Xu. If we hire Director Ye again, our funds will not be too abundant."
Agency Shiba and Xiao Ma Penteng also had certain concerns about Xu Zheng's director, so they hired two experienced assistant directors, and the two together only had 200,000 yuan. Now, if they hired directors like Ye Weimin, it would cost at least 600,000 to 700,000 yuan. I still don't know if the other party would ask for a box office commission for the film.
The six million yuan of funds seems to be a lot, which is twice as high as "Crazy Stone" and six times as high as "Nightclub", but the filming of the drama "Lost in the Road" is much more difficult than those two dramas.
This is a road comedy that spans north and south of China. There are more than a dozen scenes alone, including airports, stations, and docks, and the scenes described by the Spring Festival travel rush, which requires a large number of extras, which are large capital expenditures. According to the calculations of executive producer Zhong Lifang, the budget of 6 million can only be said to be just right.
"Don't worry, even if you hire Director Ye, you will definitely be able to earn the money back." Qin Yu stretched out and looked at Song Ran in leather pants, and patted her erect buttocks and made Song Ran feel coquettish.
"Don't make trouble, we have to see Grandpa Qin." Song Ran opened the hand he wanted to stretch out, continued to tidy up his clothes, and reminded Qin Yu: "Does Director Ye want to bring funds into the group, right? Sister Hua and President Li may not agree."
"No, Director Ye is more about having a name, as Brother Xu's coach. So the price is not high, and the cost is no more than 500,000." Seeing Song Ran hesitating, Qin Yu continued: "I will explain this to Aunt Hua and Mr. Li. Now that Director Ye's name is available, it can be more convenient in early investment promotion and later promotion."
According to the script completed by Yang Qing and others, this drama involves more than 20 sub-categories such as airlines, car brands, bank cards, clothing, gifts, food, beverages, etc., more than 20 sub-categories that can be invested in. Now Zhong Lifang, who comes from Xiaoma Pentium, is responsible for investment. If nothing unexpected happens, half of the funds raised from the sponsor can be returned. In addition, many domestic brand merchants are very popular with directors from Xiangjiang. With Ye Weimin's signboard, you can ask for more when negotiating with sponsors. This is the key to Qin Yu's agreement to invite Ye Weimin.
Song Ran, who figured it out, was no longer confused. He thought of another thing about the topic just now: "By the way, how is Director Yang's investment in "Nightclub"?"
"It's almost done. We are a small-cost video with a total investment of only one million. Merchants won't sponsor too much. Most of them provide products, advertising posters and shelves. Even a few large refrigerators and Sanquan Foods also sponsored them."
"It seems that they are not famous enough." Song Ran shook his head: "If it were director Ning, you see, they wouldn't have flocked to you."
"This drama is used to practice Yang Qing and Han Yan." Qin Yu nodded: "Last night, Director Ning specifically thanked Brother Hua. If it weren't for Brother Hua's new star plan, Director Ning wouldn't have "Crazy Stone". So Director Ning is preparing to have funds in the future and also set up a newcomer support plan to specifically help Yang Qing and others with inexperienced newcomers. I am now ahead of him."
"I really don't understand, why do you want to train a director? Such investment is very large. Do we have such capital?"
"If I say that this is to develop a lot of strength in Chinese movies, it will definitely be empty." Seeing Song Ran sorting out, Qin Yu also stood up and prepared to go out, and continued to say to Song Ran: "My real idea is to be able to stand at the upper level of this circle and become a person in the circle who can play chess, not just a piece in other people's chessboard."
