As he said that, he put his backpack on the desk and opened the zipper. Ning Yue took a look and saw that the backpack was filled with wads of hundred-yuan bills, about twenty or thirty wads.
Ning Yue immediately looked thoughtful, "They are willing to give so many benefits to a role with only a few lines, so how much do you think I have to give them to give up the role of the heroine?"
Director Cui: "Mr. An, are you serious about coming?"
"Of course it is, it's fake! The heroine has been decided long ago and cannot be given to anyone else.
Our film is a large-scale production with an investment of more than 200 million. With so much money thrown into it, the company is strapped for funds. I must save costs. Now that someone is offering money to my door, of course I will accept it all.
Anyway, there are a lot of female and male characters in this movie. We can only sell a few of them! "
Director Cui: ...Why invest 200 million? There are three female leads, one male lead and two male supporting actors. Five of the six main actors are from the company. Su Mo is a shareholder of the company. He has already said that he will not be paid for acting in his own movies. Zhang Huimin and Zhang Jidong are pure newcomers. Even if they play the leading role, they will be given three One hundred thousand is too much. For Chen Kai to play Zhou Lei, 200,000 is about the same. For Liu Yinggui, two million is about the same. None of these starring films has more than three million, and the total investment is 30 million. This is outrageous. Where are you going to spend the two hundred million?
Ning Yue looked at Director Cui eagerly. Director Cui was a little numb at the sight, "Mr. An, do you want me to..." He pointed to the backpack on the table, "Continue to collect money privately? Will they say I took a bribe, and then you sued me?"
To be honest, he has never seen such a sexy operation in more than 30 years in the entertainment industry!
People want roles to make money, but as a result, he always wants to sell the roles!
Ning Yue shook her head again, "Uncle Cui, the situation needs to be opened up. If this kind of private collection of money is spread, it will damage your image. How could I let you do such a thing!"
Director Cui breathed a huge sigh of relief, then relaxed and sat down on the chair, "Then what are you going to do?"
"We will count the people who contact you privately, and then send them an invitation letter in the name of the company. Anyone who is willing to play a role in our movie will be counted as a special guest. However, everyone they send over has the most basic The requirement is that you must have acting skills, and of course, you still have to collect money.”
"Can they agree to this?"
"Why not? People in the entertainment industry are all trying to get into the film industry, but not everyone can become famous. Do you think there are only a few movie stars and actresses in the entire industry in a year?
Although our company cannot help them become best actors and actresses, it can open a path for them to become best actresses and best actresses! "
Director Cui: ...Mr. An, the cake you drew is really big and round!
When it comes to cake painting skills, he only obeys his boss An!
Finally, Ning Yue gave another instruction, "Uncle Cui, you can spread the word by the way. After this movie is finished, I plan to make a martial arts TV series. Every character in it is very unique. The ones who have worked with us this time The company will receive one or two audition notices, and there will be no cooperation."
Director Cui suddenly became anxious, "Mr. An, I can also film TV series!"
Ning Yue: ...You are already fifty-one, and you are not afraid of getting tired even if you work on the set every day!
"Okay, okay, I'll let you shoot it. However, when you finish filming this movie, which will probably be in June, I plan to recruit two directing graduates from the Film and Television School to work for you. If our company wants to develop, we still need to Cultivate more talents, and you have to help me guide them."
Director Cui waved his hand: "Then you must give me at least two scripts written by yourself a year."
The scripts that Mr. An came up with were not bad. For the movie "Hands Up" alone, he took more than 30 million in commission, and after deducting taxes, he was left with more than 20 million, two movies a year. A villa has been released. In the past, his wife would always complain when he said he would join the team for filming. Now, as soon as he said he would join the team, his wife would immediately pack his bag for him. He wants to film two scripts a year. Hehe, a big villa is ready. That’s right!
Ning Yue: "..."
Soon Starlight's senior management held a meeting, and then the matter of asking various entertainment companies to send people to join the team started with great fanfare. Director Cui originally thought that giving money to send people to join the team was an accidental phenomenon. How could he think of those things? People are going crazy, bidding for a few more scenes and lines for their own artist, and that’s off the charts!
Those newcomers who are sent here have to perform well. Once they find that they have no acting skills, they have to be sent back. Someone from the company can replace them at any time.
After all this trouble, the company not only spent no money on making this film, but also made a small profit. In other words, even if "Sunset Angel" cannot be released in the future, it will not lose money!
The most important thing is, do you think asking for money to let people from other companies appear in your own homemade drama will offend people?
No, no, no, no, no, they are still looking forward to filling in the TV series that Starlight is planning to start filming in the second half of the year!
Because they had already found out that the martial arts drama was also written by Mr. An!
This is the point!
And it was a script that took her nearly two years to write. According to reliable sources (according to Director Cui), for example, "The Six-Fingered Piano Demon" was written just to bet with Su Qingyan. From the official version of "Purple Cloud Tribulation" It took no more than seven days to announce the formation of the Six Finger Piano Demon crew. In other words, An Ningyue took less than seven days to write a script with a box office of more than 600 million yuan.
There is also "Hands Up", that comedy movie was written purely for the purpose of competing with Best Actor Ji. According to (Director Choi), Mr. An gave him the script in just one night.
The result was such a carelessly written book. Ji Feng was so frightened that he changed the film from the Spring Festival schedule to Valentine's Day. However, the situation was still not good. Seeing that it would be released in a few days, the total box office continued. Not even 100 million. When the crew made the official announcement, they claimed to have invested 180 million. It was like losing money to my grandma’s family!
Therefore, is a martial arts-themed script that Mr. An spent nearly two years polishing, not worth paying 100,000 or 200,000 for a ticket for their own artist?
Time moved forward slowly, and all the artists in the company were packed into the Sunset Angel crew. Chen Kai finished filming and started recording his first album after entering Starlight.
Because he has been posting jokes on Weibo for a long time, he has really attracted many die-hard fans. As soon as the news of his album came out, fans all applauded: "After I joined Starlight, I knew that Mr. An would have to give it to him sooner or later. Chen Shuge, I waited and waited, and finally the day came, but I didn’t expect that Mr. An would release an album, what a surprise!”
"Yes, it's a big surprise. I will definitely buy Lao Chen's songs!"
