Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

Chapter 31 Think carefully, this is not easy to talk about
"So this is the new script you prepared?"

In the office, Xia Yuan faced his senior sister, and both of them sat on the sofa, and it was obvious that they were discussing the script.

"Penny Dreadful" is about to be released, and now is the time to consider starting filming a new movie.

According to Xia Yuan's idea, the company is now in a period of rapid development. The first film was a huge success. While the market is still hot and their reputation is gradually accumulating, it is natural to strike while the iron is hot and launch a sequel as soon as possible.

With the rave reviews from the previous work as a foundation, the audience will be more receptive to it, and with the momentum, the film will be able to grow bigger and stronger and create greater glories!
But in fact, Tang Ying's idea was just to grit her teeth and hate it so much that she was unwilling to accept it.

They originally thought that they would lose, but due to various factors, they won with a bang.

He didn't lose anything at all, and his 20 million yuan flew away with wings.

Outsiders might be confused if they knew about this. This is a box office of 2000 billion yuan, which is a lot no matter how you look at it. As the producer and distributor, they can get hundreds of millions of yuan. Isn't this much better than million?

In fact, only Tang Ying knew that these hundreds of millions were not as attractive to her as the 2000 million.

Because of the shitty system she has, the rules are shitty.

According to the contract, the film producer accounts for 35%, the distributor accounts for 5%, the director accounts for 5%, the theater chain accounts for 5%, and the cinema accounts for 50%.

The film producers, that is them.

She has the distribution rights.

The distributor did not promote this film at all, so it’s also their fault.

After deducting value-added tax, stamp duty, cultural industry construction fees and other taxes, they will actually receive around 3 million yuan.

But she cannot take a penny of the money earned from the company's project profits!

In other words, if the project makes a loss, the rebate of 2000 million will go directly into her personal account, and the system will also be rationalized.

If there is a profit, the 3 million will belong to the company, not hers.

Public accounts are public accounts, and private accounts are private accounts. Even if you are the boss, you cannot touch the company's money at will. This is really illegal, not to mention there are system restrictions.

She can only pay herself a salary.

But the tragedy is that her current level is not high, and the salary she can offer herself is very limited, only 20,000 yuan a month.
Xia Yuan gets 5% of the profit!

This means that Xia Yuan will get 5000 million in the end! !

In other words, she has basically invested all of her liquid funds into the company, and has been living frugally during this period.

20,000 yuan may seem like a lot, but in reality, in a first-tier city like Xinhai, the cost of living is not low, so this amount of money is not that much.
Although it is not yet time to pay this month's salary, my usual habit of spending money lavishly is still there.

She now has only three thousand dollars left on her body.

To tell you the truth, after the money was divided, Xia Yuan was richer than her.
So, she hated herself for missing this opportunity!
If she didn't seize the opportunity to succeed again, she was afraid that her faith would be broken.

This is why she is in a hurry to start a new film.

She looked at the three scripts in front of her with a slightly scrutinizing gaze.

This time, she must be extremely careful. The first step of her strategy is to choose the most suitable script.

Is this the most appropriate name?
That's definitely the worst one.
She first picked up the script of "Kung Fu Yoga", opened it, and started reading.

As she read, she asked, "What are your considerations for this script? What do you think? I want to hear your thoughts."

"Well, this Kung Fu Yoga is also a comedy and a martial arts film with comedy elements."

"No!" Tang Ying shuddered and rejected the offer without even thinking.

Comedy? Still filming a comedy? That would be better than killing her.

The former was a typical comedy, but how much did she make?
She made so much money that she only had 3,000 yuan left. Now she gets shivers whenever she hears the word "comedy".

If it happens again, wouldn’t I be making a fortune?

"Okay." Xia Yuan scratched his head.

"Next one, next one." Tang Ying picked up the second script.

Seven Swords.
"This one tells a relatively profound martial arts story, with ancient costumes as the main background," Xia Yuan introduced.

This time, Tang Ying did not close the script without even looking at it, but continued reading it with immersion.

The first page tells the general idea of ​​the story.

[The Tianshan Mountains are covered with ice for thousands of miles, and there lives a hermit master Huiming who is good at forging swords.
The legend of "Seven Swordsmen from Tianshan" unfolds. The seven swords are: Mo Wen, You Long, Qing Gan Sword, Jing Xing, She Shen Sword, Tian Pu Sword, and Sun and Moon Sword.

The more she looked, the more Tang Ying's brows furrowed.

It's actually a martial arts type, and it's a serious martial arts
"No." Tang Ying finally shook her head.

The audience is still too broad.

For something like this that has something to do with fantasy, don't doubt the degree of pursuit and persistence of the Hanxia people for this thing.

And the most crucial point is ancient costumes, which is surprisingly the hottest element at the moment.

Just looking at the five big characters "Seven Swordsmen from Tianshan", she felt full of style.

"Is this not possible?" Xia Yuan was stunned.

He didn't expect that two books would be rejected so quickly.

But in this case, there is only one choice left!

He set his sights on the final script.

The Master.
Xia Yuan pursed his lips.

To be honest, this is the book he is least optimistic about.

Because the previous two scripts have their own outstanding points in some aspects.

For example, what attracted him to "Kung Fu Yoga" was mainly its huge commercial success and the combination of comedy and martial arts.

Although the literary drama is a bit weak, in fact, martial arts films should focus more on the martial arts.

Otherwise, how could the box office be so high?

The second is "Seven Swords". This script has the largest and most space for fighting scenes. If you pay a little attention to the shooting and presentation processes, the final images will be very eye-catching.

The fighting scenes can be improved. Although he thinks the fighting scenes in the original film are not very good, there is still a lot of room for improvement. In addition, as the senior said, the new film will not consider the cost, so if he hires some top martial arts directors at a high price, Xia Yuan is confident that he can redesign more eye-catching fighting scenes.

The same goes for "Kung Fu Yoga", both films can be redesigned and improved, and there is a lot of room for improvement.

But this "Master" is different. In Xia Yuan's opinion, this film has too many problems.

He frowned and asked, "Boss, are you sure? It's hard to say. I don't really have any confidence."

However, just this one sentence made Tang Ying stunned.

Suddenly he was surprised and asked: "Oh? Tell me about it?"
