The legend of rebirth

Chapter 247 Investing
In the blink of an eye, it was Friday again, and this afternoon, Ye Luo received a call from Huanyu Qianhao.

"Xiaoye, is it because our MV is not good enough and you are not satisfied?" After exchanging pleasantries, Qian Hao said such a sentence.

Ye Luo was stunned for a moment, and said, "Mr. Qian, you are my elder. You don't need to go around when you talk to me. What's the matter?"

"Recently, I see that the number of MVs you ask us to do is getting less and less." Qian Hao said.

"Oh." Ye Luo thought for a while, and it was true.

In the past, the singers in Ye Luo's hands, Rob, "Sisters" and so on, did not sign with the record company at the beginning, so their song MVs, including Ye Luo's own, were all commissioned by Huanyu, but now, they are all signed record company.

Huanyu is the largest film company in Shanghai, and the work is indeed beautiful, but the price is correspondingly high. Qian Hao's price to Ye Luo is a friendship price, 10 yuan per song, but it is not the same for other record companies. At this price, the record company probably won't look for them because of cost considerations.

Thinking of this, Ye Luo smiled and said, "Mr. Qian, the MV is actually quite important to me. But to you, it's just a meal and an extra dish, not a big part of your income. So Well, if you have any songs for film and television dramas, you can ask me to make them in this studio, and I can give you a discount on the price, as a person, you can talk about anything."

"Hehe, that's what you said." Qian Hao smiled, "The previous "Swordsman", because of your song, had a very good publicity effect, and the schedule was scheduled for December. Now I I think it's too late, I would have missed it if I knew about the National Day.

This time, I happen to be planning to make another movie, a biographical movie, about Zhou Xuan, the queen of Shangdu in the 40s and [-]s.Music is a big part of this movie, and it would be great if you could do it. "

"Oh, is the script finalized?" Ye Luo asked.

"The script is finalized." Qian Hao said, "But because of the characteristics of this movie, I plan to get the music first, and then shoot the scene according to the music. It's the same as last time Zhou Ke added a scene because of your music."

"That's fine." Ye Luo said, "You can show me the script first, I will make a song based on the script, and then you will shoot according to the song and the script. What do you think?"

"Okay." Qian Hao was very happy, "Then it's settled. The music budget for this movie is 500 million. I'll call you 200 million as a deposit first."

"En." Ye Luo nodded, suddenly remembered something, and asked one more question, "Mr. Qian, have you decided on the protagonist of this movie?"

"I was really asked by you." Qian Hao sighed, "Other roles are easy to handle, but the heroine who plays Zhou Xuan is not easy to choose. The current audience, what don't you know? Are you an actor? I can sing, and I can find it all on the Internet. So if it's just lip-syncing, the authenticity is too bad.

Therefore, an actor should have good looks and be able to sing, but actors and singers are two different professions. At present, there are not many crossovers in China. Go to an art school to pick new seedlings, and the temperament of a generation of singers cannot be maintained. "

Ye Luo said: "Then how about I recommend a candidate for you?"

"Oh?" Qian Hao laughed, "Then tell me."

"Qin Shiyue." Ye Luo said.

"Her?" Qian Hao paused, "Singing skills are fine, and she has temperament, but how about acting skills, Zhou Xuan's life has been very bumpy, and it's not easy to perform."

"You can let her try it out." Ye Luo smiled, "I heard that she has studied acting, and she has also played some small roles on the set recently. It's just that you, a big producer, should pay attention to her."

"That's good." Qian Hao said, "Since you recommend it, I'll let her try it, but I can't guarantee it."

"You can let her try this. If it suits you, you can use it. If it doesn't suit you, it doesn't matter. But..." Ye Luo thought for a while, carefully chose the words, and said, "I'm not very familiar with the entertainment industry. Don't let her touch some messy things."

"Haha, don't worry, I don't care about other film and television companies, we Huanyu, there is no such thing." Qian Hao laughed, "However, if you are really worried, why don't you invest some money in this movie. In this way, even if Qin Shiyue wants to find a backer, she can only find you."

Ye Luo was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and felt that this was the truth, and asked, "Then how much did you invest in this movie?"

"This movie, because it is a biographical movie, not a commercial movie, so we are relatively conservative in terms of market expectations. The investment is not too big. The big part of the expense is your movie music. Let's calculate the other miscellaneous things. The total investment is 2000 million. Right now. The ones already in place are our own 1000 million, and there are 1000 million more, and I still have to get sponsors."

"That's how it is." Ye Luo said, "Huanyu doesn't have to give me the 500 million yuan of film music. I will treat it as an investment in technology, and then I will pay another 500 million yuan to make up 1000 million yuan to invest in this movie. You see How about it?"

"Oops! Other people's money, I won't blink when I take it, but your money, Xiaoye, uncle, let me tell you the truth." Qian Hao said, "Movie investment is very risky. And The payback cycle is not short, even if the filming starts now, it will be released in the second half of next year, no one knows how the box office will be, so you have to think about it.”

"Hehe, anyway, I'm not in a hurry to spend the money right now, so let's just decide." Ye Luo smiled.

"Well, I really lost money later, so you are not allowed to file a complaint with Niu Xueyi!" Qian Hao said.

"No loss." Ye Luo said confidently.

"Then in this way, Qin Shiyue, the heroine, is decided based on emotion and reason." Qian Hao said with a smile, "Xiaoye, in order to praise her, you are willing to spend all your money."

Ye Luo smiled. He invested in this movie not purely to flatter Qin Shiyue. He does have the confidence to recover the cost. As for how much he will earn, it's hard to say.

"The candidate for the role." Ye Luo said: "You still have to do business. If she really can't do it, you can change it."

"That's fine, I know what's going on. How about it, let her come to me for an audition tomorrow morning." Qian Hao said.

"Ok."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Luo asked Tang Jinxiu, "Miss Tang, how much money is left in our studio account?"

"It's more than 600 million. 300 million is the promotional fee paid by 'original good music', and the other 300 million is the share of music power last month." Tang Jinxiu reported an approximate figure, "But for the specifics, I have to ask Li miss."

Li Xiuyun is the financial supervisor, and the specific accounts are in her hands.

Ye Luo nodded: "Then you should draw up a film and television sponsorship contract with a total of 1000 million. Party B is Huanyu. If you don't understand the details of the contract, you can ask lawyer Shen Lan and teacher Qian Hao."

"Well, okay." Tang Jinxiu nodded in response.

After instructing the assistant, Ye Luo dialed Qin Shiyue's cell phone.

"Sister Qin, there is a role for you to try out, are you interested?" Ye Luo asked.

"Huh?" Qin Shiyue was stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "Of course I'm interested, but let me tell you first, my acting is just a side job, so don't just push me out like this and leave it alone."

"Don't worry, why don't you care?" Ye Luo smiled, "Zhou Xuan, you know that?"

"Zhou Xuan? The queen of the previous generation?" Qin Shiyue said, "Of course I know, I've read her biography several times."

"Yeah. Tomorrow, go to Huanyu's Teacher Qian. There's a new movie about Zhou Xuan. The character you're going to audition for is her," Ye Luo said.

"Wow! I want to play Zhou Xuan?!" Qin Shiyue's voice suddenly rose an octave, and the original lazy and soft tone disappeared without a trace.

"Don't get excited, it's just an audition, whether you can get it or not depends on your own ability." Ye Luo said, "You should prepare well today and go tomorrow morning."

"En!" Qin Shiyue responded, and then his tone returned to normal, "Ye Luo, thank you, I will definitely try my best to win this role, and I won't waste the opportunity you gave me."

"It's enough to show off your acting skills, and you don't have to worry about other aspects," Ye Luo said.

"Other aspects? Are there other aspects?" Qin Shiyue asked suspiciously.

"No, even if there is, I will settle it." After Ye Luo finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Hanging up the phone and looking at his watch, it happened to be time to get off work. Ye Luo looked at Tang Jinxiu who was negotiating the sponsorship contract, and said with a smile, "Don't be in such a hurry, take your time, let's do it tomorrow."

Tang Jinxiu waved his hand: "Boss, you go first, I'll be right back."

"Well, don't be too late." Ye Luo nodded and opened her e-mail. Sure enough, Qian Hao had already sent the script. Ye Luo printed out the script and put it in her bag. She planned to go back to read it at night. After turning over, he got up and left the studio.

As soon as he walked out of the studio, Ye Luo noticed that Hu Jianing, who was next door, also came out. He was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and he knew there was going to be an event at night.

"Is there a date for the beautiful woman tonight?" Ye Luo asked.Hu Jianing has a happy face recently, and it seems that the relationship is developing very smoothly.

"Hey, that's right." Hu Jianing rubbed his hands, "Why don't you lend me your car?"

"Okay." Ye Luo smiled, "But take me home first, are you in no hurry?"

"No hurry, no hurry." Hu Jianing smiled.

The two walked outside the recording studio, Ye Luo gave the driver Lao Cao some change, asked him to take a taxi home, then asked Hu Jianing to drive, and Ye Luo sat in the co-pilot.

"Brother Hu, how many bases have you played with your future sister-in-law?" Ye Luo asked gossipingly.

While driving, Hu Jianing gave him a blank look, and asked, "How many bases have you played with your future siblings?"

"This is the woman who is going to marry, I'm not in a hurry." Ye Luo smiled.

"Isn't it?" Hu Jianing smiled.
