Actor: Thank you.

During the lunch break, Zhang Yuan took Ning Hao to the lounge to check the accounts.

Although the box office of "Crazy Stone" was not low, it was able to enter the top ten of the domestic film box office list that year.

But this new work still seems to be unpopular with sponsors.

"Why do you think so?" Big Head said puzzled and depressed.

Zhang Yuan pointed at everyone in the lounge with a helpless look on his face.

"Why is there no one sponsoring you? Don't you have any idea?"

Look at who you found.

They all look like this.

What do you think?

Which kind person sponsors your brand?

Don't tell me there is really...

“Now we have two sponsors.”

"One is Kongzhong, and the other is Skoda."

"Kongzhong was the main sponsor and gave 300 million."

"Skoda only gave 50, but they gave the crew 8 cars for filming and commuting."

"Just these two?"

"Yes, these two." Ning Hao spread his hands.

Even the cost of filming was not recovered.

But both of these sponsors are pretty strong.

Ordinary people are not familiar with Kongzhong.

Just mention a few games and you will understand.

"World of Tanks", "World of Warplanes", "World of Warships" and "Guild Wars 2" were all exclusively represented by them in the early days.

Moreover, this company is one of the earliest Internet companies in China to develop mobile games, and it was listed on NASDAQ in 04.

At this point in time, Kongzhong's mobile business is quite impressive.

The main reason is that he is a strategic partner with China Mobile, China Unicom, China Telecom and China Netcom.

This means that he has monopolized all the largest operators in the country.

In the 2.5G, 3G and MMS eras, this company was a top player in the country.

The reason why he is so powerful is his boss Wang Leilei.

He didn't even talk about his personal experiences like graduating from Tsinghua University, being a manager of Great Wall Computer, or being a supervisor of a futures company, which are things that a great person should have.

Because it’s not the key.

This person's grandfather was the first generation Director of China's Telecommunications Administration, concurrently Secretary of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, Minister of the Military Commission's Communications Department, and Director of the Telecommunications Industry Bureau...

This is why the four major operators serve them alone.

There are two partners left, one specializes in websites and the other specializes in technology.

These two came from the "training class" of an Internet company, namely Sohu.

As for the technical guy, his grandfather was the first Minister of the Ministry of Machinery Industry...

Kongzhong.com was a typical startup founded by the third generation of the red family in those days.

The background is scary hard.

This company was recommended by China Film Group.

Because Kongzhong.com also has cooperation with China Film Group, it will use MMS to stream movies and provide some early entertainment information services for mobile terminals.

The background is big, and it was pulled by China Film Group.
So even though the money given was not too much, Ning Hao still arranged a large number of implants.

Skoda was really awesome, it was the second largest arsenal in Europe before World War II.

In the anti-Japanese war movies, the Czech-made machine guns that were treasured by the Eighth Route Army were made by their company.

At that time, Sandezi was unable to complete the manufacture of atomic weapons, mainly because of problems with two important materials: graphite and heavy water.

Of course, they didn't know at the time that there was something wrong with these two things.

The graphite was produced by Skoda and was deliberately sabotaged, resulting in the product being substandard.

However, this company that once changed the course of world history has now completely taken the shape of "Volkswagen".

After the Skoda logo on the engine was torn off, the inside was replaced with a Volkswagen logo.

However, in China in 08, the 1.8T Octavia is definitely a good car.

Compared with the island country's meat trucks of the same period, the power is awesome.

These two brands are not small, but still ugly.

"anything else?"

"I also approached Puma, Kappa, Adidas and others for negotiations, but they didn't agree."

That is to say, I persuaded Benneton in the last play, otherwise you would have no chance.

"Well, bring the full set of scripts here, and we'll see where we can fit it in."

The others looked at each other.

No.

You say it can be plugged in just like that?
It sounds like the brand will listen to you.

No one knew what he wanted to do, so they all listened quietly.

"The lighter is an important prop and will be featured many times. Why didn't you recruit sponsors?"

"Refrigerator trucks also appear in a lot of shots, look for the Sinotruk brand."

"Graduate school entrance exam..."

Zhang Yuan thought about a lot of things one after another.

"There are so many places where we could have found sponsors to promote our brand, but it's all wasted."

“Who found the sponsor?”

"Mr. Yang." Ning Hao replied.

"Who?"

"Yang Siwei."

I'm a little uncomfortable with you calling her like that.

Zhang Yuan picked up his cell phone and called the fat woman.

"You were in charge of the investment promotion for Crazy Racer?"

"Why is it so bad?"

As soon as Yang Siwei answered the phone, he was scolded by him and dared not say a word.

"I have found many, but... I haven't been able to come up with any."

"How could that be?" Zhang Yuan was puzzled: "Is my commercial value so low now?"

“I can’t recruit anyone.”

"Um, Boss...I didn't mention your participation."

Zhang Yuan: …

"You haven't confirmed the schedule yet, and you haven't attended the opening ceremony, so the contract can't be written." Yang Siwei explained carefully.

There are several ways to bring money into a group, one of which is brand sponsorship.

However, this form does require that someone be included in the contract to participate in the project.

Because the brand recognizes the actors, not the movies.

Zhang Yuan remained silent for a long time, but ultimately did not argue with her.

"Now go contact the most famous lighter brand."

"It's guaranteed that there will be more than three close-ups of the logo in the movie."

"And the brand of the truck, just say I'll ride in it myself."

Being frozen into an ice sculpture and placed in the cargo box of a truck is also considered a ride...

"Find me another training institution like New Oriental, and there will be a close-up."

Six or seven product categories were assigned to him at once.

"Is this all right?"

"Let's try it first." Zhang Yuan thought for a moment and said, "You said before that the sports brand didn't agree, right?"

"Correct."

The protagonist of the film is a bicycle racer.

Racing is also a sport, which involves sportswear and shoes.

"I have an endorsement from Adidas, but it's about to expire."

"And I have no plans to renew my contract, so they probably won't invest any more money in me."

"KAPPA was originally quite interested, but you know how Bozi looks, so people lost interest after seeing him."

Huang Bo pushed Ning Hao and said, "No personal attacks!"

"Then contact KAPPA again and tell them that I will be participating."

Ning Hao immediately called the contact person he had contacted back-to-back.

"what?"

"it is good!"

Within 5 minutes, he scratched his head and put down his phone.

"They said it's OK..."

I've begged you thousands of times before, but you always ignored me.

As soon as Zhang Yuan was mentioned, the other party agreed...

Zhang Yuan looked at Huang Bo: "It's the problem with you as the lead actor."

Brother Bo shook his bangs and tried to make excuses for himself: "I am a talented person."

"Okay, then I, the idol, will support you, the talented one." Zhang Yuan patted his shoulder.

They are familiar with each other and can joke around in any way they want.

But all the actors around were stunned.

What is done?

Did he get sponsorship as soon as he arrived?
"Oh, yes, I forgot one thing."

"After my endorsement of Adidas expires, I will sign a contract with Li Ning, so I have to inform them first." "Don't wear clothes of other brands during the show, it will easily cause conflicts."

"That's true." Ning Hao thought to himself that my brother is really thoughtful.

"I'll call Li Ning first."

"Hey, Brother Li..."

After talking about the matter, we chatted for about ten minutes before he put down his phone.

"I am silly."

"What's wrong?" Seeing him scolding them, Big Head and Brother Bo leaned over to ask.

"What they said is right. Why should I say hello?"

"Why not just let them sponsor Li Ning?"

Ning Hao: ...

That is to say, once he arrives, not only are brands willing to spend money, but they also rush to spend it?

"And it just so happens that the film is expected to be released before the Olympics."

"It would be great if we could collaborate with Li Ning at that time."

"That's it. Go report back to KAPPA. We don't need them anymore." Zhang Yuan waved his hand.

"Is it reliable?" Ning Hao was a little worried.

"Do the people on Li Ning's side have the final say?"

"Don't go back to my end and regret it later."

"Li Ning won't go back on his word." Zhang Yuan was very sure: "He's a big boss worth billions, he doesn't have time to joke with me."

"You are talking about this Li Ning!" Big Head and Brother Bo finally reacted.

"You, I kept saying I was calling Li Ning, don't you understand Chinese?"

They looked at each other helplessly.

How did we know you were talking about this Li Ning? We thought it was Li Ning.

Zhang Yuan kept talking about people, but they thought he was talking about brands.

"How would I know you could get in touch with an Olympic champion directly?"

"Stop talking nonsense. Quickly sort out the sizes and quantities of the actors' clothes and send them to Yang Siwei. Ask her to go to the headquarters to sign the contract."

"And you two, don't leave yet." Zhang Yuan pointed at Zhao Liying and Wan Qian, who had eaten two box lunches and were dozing off to digest their food.

"Maybe we need to reshoot that scene."

We shot a few scenes in the afternoon.

By the time work was finished in the evening, Yang Siwei had already summarized all the information.

She is quite capable and efficient.

It's just that the experience is not enough.

"ZIPPO Lighters agreed to sponsor 100 million, but required you to use their lighters in the film."

"Haozi, add a shot of the Thai guy smoking." Zhang Yuan arranged to Ning Hao.

“They also ask you if you can endorse the brand.”

"Well, forget it..."

The main function of lighters in modern daily life.

When audiences see ZIPPO, they think of cigarettes.

Although Zhang Yuan smokes himself, if young people or children see this advertisement and learn to smoke just to look cool, it will have a bad social impact and will be detrimental to their own image.

The Thai guy he played in "Crazy Racing" was a drug dealer.

The husband of Afen, who played the character in "The Disciples", was also a drug dealer.

But both characters end up dying.

This will serve as a warning and will not mislead young people.

So he would rather not make the money.

Next are Shaanxi Automobile, Giant, and New Oriental.

"New Oriental agreed to pay 30 yuan, but their brand must be clearly mentioned and the trademark must be displayed."

"As expected of Mr. Tie, he is so stingy, only 30." Zhang Yuan complained.

"30 yuan can only get you a trademark, but forget about oral broadcasting."

This is why he kept Zhao Liying and Wan Qian.

The reason why the two hotel receptionists spoke Chinese mixed with English was that one of them was preparing for GRE and was reading a book.

Just change the book to New Oriental’s and take another photo.

One shot, and you make 30 yuan, so it’s not a loss.

During lunch break the next day, Ning Hao thought about it.

He secured 6 sponsorships in one day!
What is popularity!

The other actors didn't dare to speak.

It is a crime to disobey the superior.

There is no doubt about this.

Once people come, sponsorship will follow.

Everyone secretly did the math and found that in this way, the entire filming cost of the show had been recovered before it was even released.

It's normal for the director to revolve around him.

Over the next week, major sponsors shipped supplies over one after another.

Ning Hao was in pain and happy at the same time.

Due to the increase in sponsors, some of the previous shots had to be re-shot.

But reshoots can earn money!

Although I didn't say I would give him extra money.

But based on past experience, Zhang Yuan is not a stingy person.

If the film makes money, in addition to the agreed remuneration, there will definitely be some other benefits, so he is happy to do it.

This is when friendship comes into play, with mutual understanding.

If you are usually stingy and would find an excuse to deduct some of the promised bonus, Ning Hao will not bother to care about your trivial matter now.

The relationship between people is still very important.

“This is the first time I’ve seen such a hardworking person.”

That night, several actors gathered together to discuss Zhang Yuan.

Now they know that Zhang Yuan is the investor.

No wonder the director adjusted his role just to wait for him.

But everyone was convinced.

Not only can they raise money and sponsorship, but they also have a professional attitude.

I had my eyebrows and hair shaved the day before.

Not only that, every time we were shooting night scenes, he would accompany us even though he had no part to play.

In fact, he is not diligent, but comes to see the scene.

In recent days, we have been shooting night scenes of the "Graduate Entrance Examination Duo".

Half of the film's golden lines come from these two people.

“The body is as wide as the road.”

"As long as it has speed and strength, it will be no problem to save her soul."

Hehehe... Zhang Yuan hid behind the monitor and watched with laughter.

The famous anti-life equation: speed x force = transcendence, comes from here.

"Brother-in-law, if we do this, won't we end up doing evil and then getting hurt?"

"You are full of jingles, you want to take the postgraduate entrance examination!"

"Where can we get production if we don't have the courage?"

"You don't want to marry my sister?"

"You don't want to marry my sister, but I want to marry your sister!"

After reading this passage, Zhang Yuan touched his chest.

Comfortable!

It feels so good.

Not only did the audience enjoy watching it, he also enjoyed watching it live.

Huang Bo destroyed Baleno in his previous life.

These two words have brought such a high-sounding term as "postgraduate entrance examination" directly to the center of the earth.

Although teachers Wang Shuangbao and Badu are a bit eccentric, their performances in this film are simply amazing.

It doesn't look like acting at all.

In addition, Dong Lifan, a professional "rich woman", looks like a female version of Lin Xue.

In any movie, as soon as she appears, it is basically certain who is the richest woman in the movie.

Just like Wang Yaoqing.

The rich woman was hung in the carriage by the duo, with a rolled towel stuffed in her mouth.

This scene made Zhang Yuan inexplicably think of Nezuko... He shook his head. It was not good to know too much, as it would lead to miscellaneous knowledge.

The entire play uses only good actors, and none of them is a useless person.

But these people’s pay is only a few hundred thousand or even hundreds of thousands at most, which is very cheap.

This shows how important appearance is in this industry.

Zhang Yuan’s salary alone can cover the cost of the entire play.

So he came here without asking for any money and just made a free guest appearance.

Otherwise Ning Hao wouldn't dare to use him.

Anyway, I get a share of the money earned in the end, so I don’t lose out.

He had big tattoos on his arms and was jumping up and down while filming.

On the other hand, "The Hidden" finally had its broadcast day... (End of this chapter)
