Chapter 108 Ready (Happy Dragon Boat Festival)

After finalizing the main actor, Tang An, who had only a few lines of supporting roles, was left to Hua Yi.

The script was handed in and reviewed by multiple departments, and Han Sanping came forward, basically no major changes were made.

Ideology is not involved, the most likely problem is only the gunfight scene in the capital, or in the university.

But Optoelectronics only asked the police not to die too much, and passers-by had better not die, especially the old and weak.

Of course, Tang An followed suit, and it wouldn't affect the movie.

Later, Du Qifeng's "Drug Wars" could pass the trial as it was filmed, and Optoelectronics only had two "opinions".

First, don’t have too many gun battles, and don’t kill too many police officers; second, you can shoot scenes of police taking drugs, but it should be less.

Moreover, the shootout scene was still at the gate of the elementary school, and there were so many children on the school bus, and they all passed the trial.

However, it is not certain whether the final film can pass the review. Optoelectronics is not responsible for deletions. When a film is submitted, it can only pass or pass, and those that fail will be rejected.

When you call back, you have to change it until you are satisfied.

Therefore, the saying of "big scissors" is actually wrong. Optoelectronics will not scissors the film, but will only tell you the reason for not passing the review, and then cut it yourself.

After all, there are so many films to be reviewed in a year, and it is not too busy to send someone to edit each film.

There was no problem with the script, and Tang An officially approved the project in the radio and television immediately after.

There is no problem with reporting the list of actors.

That's right, Optoelectronics even has to take care of the actors. Think about it, if Xu Jinjiang is allowed to play Comrade **, it will be strange if he can pass the trial
The batch of actors that Tang An had found before had also auditioned, and they basically met his requirements. There is still some time to prepare, and he must be able to go further.

After confirming the actors, location, photography, equipment, etc., I made a rough estimate. The pre-production cost of the film is about 2000 million, the post-production and special effects are about 2000 million, and the publicity cost is as high as [-] million.

With a cost of 5000 million, it is worthy of the name of a sci-fi blockbuster.

The specific production costs are as follows:
Director Tang An's salary is 300 million, heroine Li Binbin's salary is 280 million, actor Chen Daoming's salary is 400 million, Zhang Hanyu, Deng Chao, Liao Fan, Zhang Li, Tang Yan and others add up to less than 100 million.

The salary alone costs 1080 million, accounting for half of the pre-production cost.

All the equipment in the film was rented at the market price, and Tang An received 50 yuan, not including the film.

The salary of more than 200 people in the crew is 30. Together with the special effects, it is counted as the investment of China Film.

The final investment plan is that Tang An's studio will produce directors, equipment and about 2000 million cash to account for half of the total investment, and share 50% of all proceeds from the film.

China Film Group invested in the crew and special effects at a price of about 1500 million, accounting for 35% of the proceeds.

Huayi contributed a group of actors + 500 million cash, accounting for 15% of the proceeds.

And that part of Chen Daoming's remuneration is not considered as an investment.

In general, Huayi suffered the most losses, giving up about 3 points of profit.

This is something that can't be helped, Huayi is the least important among the three parties, and of course it will suffer a bit.

After signing the contract, the producers will be three companies.

Next is the issue of distribution. In the mainland, China Film and Bernard will jointly distribute the film, and the distribution fee has also risen to 12%.

The two largest domestic distribution companies, a state-owned giant and a private giant, can win at least 60% of the film schedule for the premiere, and most of them are located in theaters in the center of the city.

Giving up the issuance fee of two points, in exchange for the two companies to issue with all their strength, it can be regarded as a profit.

If it wasn't for the high cost of copying, even 80% of the films would not be a problem.

In this era, there are only so many audiences who will enter the cinema, and it is useless to overschedule films. Most theaters are empty, wasting copies.

60% is almost the limit. From the beginning of the release, we have tried our best to squeeze out the audience's movie tickets!
In mid-October, the production crew was almost ready, and the studio was basically set up. Only the people who were sent out to find the location for the location shooting had not yet returned.

The production director Zhao Lei personally took people to Xiangjiang to find the locations for the location shooting, and Berna sent people to help. Every time he went to a place, he would send the surrounding pictures to Tang An for him to decide.

Outreach producer Wang Zhenguo is in charge of selecting locations in the capital, and contacting a university to film the scenes of Chen Daoming's lectures.

If you want to build a studio for this part, the area of ​​a large lecture theater is not small, and the cost of adding seats is not low.

Find a university to shoot directly, and those group performers are directly recruited from among the students, performing in their true colors, and there is still a sum of money left over.

After working in the company all morning, I worked out a detailed production plan with Xu Manyun.

Filmmaking is not just filming.

Tang An is not only the director, he is not only responsible for making the movie well, he also needs to control all aspects of the entire crew.

Xu Manyun is still lacking in ability now, and it may take one or two more movies to experience Tang An before he can let go and focus on making movies.

Fortunately, the crew are all old friends, so it should be much smoother than last time.

At this time, the newly recruited receptionist came to report, and Chen Guofu was already here, waiting in his office.

Tang An signaled that he would go over immediately, and said to Xu Manyun, "That's it for now, you go and inform Uncle Ming and Li Binbin, and go to the studio to shoot some posters in the afternoon, and we will hold a launch conference on the 30th!"

Xu Manyun nodded, "Then I'll go to the set to prepare first, when will you come?"

Tang An looked down at the watch on his hand and said, "I will arrive before three o'clock in the afternoon, you let them prepare first!"

After giving instructions, Tang An returned to his office and saw Chen Guofu again.

"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry to keep you waiting!" Tang An shook hands with him with a smile and sat on his chair.

"Director Tang has been very busy recently, I guess the preparations are almost done!" Chen Guofu laughed.

"We are going to start filming at the end of the month, try to finish filming before the Chinese New Year, so that everyone can have a good New Year!"

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, we went straight to business.

"Director Tang, we have also cooperated for so long, please quote a price, this time we want the overseas copyright of "Super Body"!"

"This is a contract, and the money will arrive in the account one week after signing the contract!" Chen Guofu took out a document from his bag without delay.

Both of Tang An's two films failed, and together they earned Columbia nearly ten million dollars. After Chen Guofu typed up the report, the head office immediately raised his authority and asked him to obtain overseas copyrights as soon as possible.

The video tape of "Shark Beach" is still being sold in North America. Although the sales ranking is not high, it has been very stable. In the past six months, it has brought Colombia over one million dollars in revenue.

And "Horror Cruise" was released in North American community theaters for two months. Although the box office was only 150 million US dollars, it performed better than "Shark Beach" in the online broadcast, TV-on-demand and video markets.

It has only been one month since the video was officially released, and it has already entered the top 10 North American video sales charts in October. In just one month, it has brought Colombia more than one million dollars in net profit.

Including the income from Europe, Asia and other places, Columbia has now reached 200% profit, and it is estimated that in the next six months, the video tape alone can bring in a profit of no less than 400 million US dollars.

With two consecutive successes, no one doubted whether Tang An could succeed again this third time.

Moreover, Chen Guofu heard that other filmmakers had contacted Tang An, and the audio-visual and film distribution companies under the Japan Benaihui Group were also trying to contact Tang An through Wu Bo to win the copyright in Asia.
