Chapter 206 Finalize the cooperation! (The third update asks for subscription!)
There is no problem with the various costs, and Pang Hong dare not do anything in it.

In fact, the cooperation between major companies is still very standardized. There are many tricks in the cooperation between large companies and small companies, experts and semi-experts.

I don't know how many laymen who entered the market waving checks left sadly, leaving behind the insiders who were full of food.

But we still have to talk about it. The subordinates talked for more than half an hour, and finally the three made a decision. The production cost and publicity fee were about 4500 million, and the actors, including the extras, were paid about 1500 million. The total cost was about 6000 million.

After that, their respective investment shares and share ratios, Pang Hong looked at them with a wry smile.

"I'm really dissatisfied with the two of you. Our Ningxia Film Studio is a small company, and we can raise up to 1000 million in cash at most. I don't know how much the two of you are willing to contribute."

Ningxia is a small and poor place, and a small film studio can only be ranked in the middle and lower reaches among more than 30 large and small film studios, let alone compared with the Big Six.

1000 million in cash, which is almost all of their funds, if there is more, they can only go to the bank for a loan.

Of course, it is normal for a film and television company to go to the bank for a loan. After all, an investment of tens of millions is not a small amount in this day and age.

Huayi went to the bank to borrow half of the 1.5 million "Night Banquet". Fortunately, the investment in these two blockbuster films this year was not high, otherwise the debt would be too much.

Money is not a problem, even if Tang An pays more than half of the projects that are sure to make money.

But he looked at Yu Dong first, and asked with a smile, "Where is Yu Dong?"

"2000 million. Recently, I have invested in two more films. With limited liquidity, I can only produce so much!"

After two days of thinking, an investment of 2000 million is almost a sure-fire deal, and Berner has recently invested in two movies, "Three Kingdoms: Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor" and "Jiangshan Beauty", which is really not that much. funds.

Pang Hong was a little disappointed. In this case, there was still a gap of 3000 million. Tang An's studio would definitely not be willing to take such a big risk, and would still find another company to join.

However, Yu Dong continued, "However, I can also attract a company, and it does not require a share of the mainland box office!"

Pang Hong was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "Please tell me, Dong Yu?"

Yu Dong didn't take it too seriously, and said directly, "There is a Southeast Asian filmmaker who is very interested in mainland costume blockbusters, and Liaozhai is also popular in Southeast Asia. We just need to give them the Asian rights!"

"How much is the other party willing to pay?"

"This depends on the cast of actors. After the project is approved, if the two of you are at ease, I will send someone to talk to the other party."

"That's trouble for Dong!"

Pang Hong agreed without hesitation, and they were completely unfamiliar with overseas film producers, so they could only let Berner talk about it.

Overseas film companies have no access in the mainland, and mainland film producers also have no access overseas, so there are middlemen like China Film and Bernard.

Otherwise, if they took the initiative to come to the door, it would be strange if the other party didn't suspect it.

Facing the gazes of both of them at last, Tang An smiled and said, "Since the two of you paid half, then leave the remaining half to me. I will pay 3000 million!"

A trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of Yu Dong and Pang Hong at the same time, they didn't expect Tang An to be so generous.

"But I have two requests!"

Hearing this, Pang Hong was relieved, "Mr. Tang, please tell me."

"First, I want a female number three role."

Pang Hong agreed after a little thought, and Yu Dong had no objection either.

"Second, remove Cheng Jiashang!"

It's not a problem to ask for a role. Anyway, Tang An has investment, so he doesn't worry that he will randomly insert people in.

But it's a change of director
Although he knew that Cheng Jiashang had offended Tang An, Cheng Jiashang was the right candidate for him after searching for a long time.

"Mr. Tang, Cheng Jiashang took the lead in writing the script of "Painted Skin". It would be troublesome to change the director rashly." Pang Hong persuaded tactfully.

"Did President Pang sign a director contract with him?" Tang An asked back.

"I haven't got it yet."

"Then buy his script in the name of the studio. I've already found a new director, and I won't disappoint President Pang and Yu Dong!" Tang An said with a smile.

Pang Hong was a little vacillating. If he did this, it would feel like killing a donkey.

Yu Dong, who had been silent all this time, spoke at this moment, "Since Mr. Tang already has a candidate, he must have thought twice, so it's okay to change."

"Alright then, I'll take care of it. I wonder which director Director Tang recommends?"

Seeing that the two of them had already discussed it in private, Pang Hong also agreed. It's not like he has done this kind of thing before.

"It's a new director, but you two can rest assured, I won't waste my own money. During the filming process, the two supervised the whole process. If there is any problem, I can personally control it behind!"

In the name of a producer, occasionally directing Wu Ershan's filming is not considered to be shooting other films without permission!

Next, start discussing possible actors.

Yu Dong spoke first, "If you want to sell Asian copyrights at a high price, you must have an actor who is well-known in Southeast Asia. Do you have any good suggestions?"

"How about Zhao Wei's role as Pei Rong? "My Fair Princess" had good ratings in Southeast Asia, and "Red Cliff" in which she participated will be released on a large scale in Asia next summer, which is just a chance!"

Pang Hong had already thought about the choice of actor, and immediately proposed.

Roughly overlapping the images of the two in his mind, Yu Dong nodded.

"You can touch it!" Tang An also agreed.

"Xiao Wei wants to find an actress who is comparable to Zhao Wei, and I think Zou Xun is very suitable."

"Wang Sheng can find Chen Kun, and Liu Ye can too, but he has no schedule."

Among the three leading actors, Pang Hong announced his candidates one by one.

They are all outstanding actors of the Mesozoic generation in China. On the premise of not inviting top stars, this is already the best combination.

As for Tang An's suggestion that Yang Mi play the third female No. [-] Xia Bing, the two of them did not object.

In the end, there is only one male number two, Pang Yong.

"As the only character with a lot of action scenes, I still need to find an action actor!"

"How about Zhao Wenzhuo, he has a good image and good skills!" Pang Hong suggested.

Tang An nodded, "You can try it. Next time I'll bring the director over and let the two check it out. I'll let him do the audition. If it's not suitable, let's discuss the candidate again!"

Yen Zidan's performance in the original "Painted Skin" was quite good, both literary and military dramas were not bad, but his salary was 800 million, which was higher than both the male and female protagonists.

Using Zhao Wenzhuo to estimate that 100 million is enough!

With Tang An's name now, he doesn't need his charisma at all.

After everything is negotiated, the contract is signed first, and the three parties invest 1000 million, 2000 million, and 3000 million respectively, and all proceeds are distributed in proportion to the investment.

It's fair, Ningxia Film Studio is in charge of the pre-production, Berner is in charge of the distribution, and the distribution fee is [-]%, and Tang An has to be the supervising producer, which is considered a disguised form of publicity.

As for overseas copyright fees, they are also distributed proportionally.
