Chapter 399 Receiving Master Xing
"I don't know the basis for other companies to cooperate with Xingye. Our company has successfully announced and released a movie. You can inquire about it. We not only need to invest, but also get the right to distribute the movie. Even if it is to increase the box office guarantee Can."

"Increase the minimum guarantee, the boss thinks it's more or less appropriate."

"Well, the minimum is 6 million. If other companies have a higher offer, we can appropriately increase it to 8 million or 9 million. It depends on the situation. If it exceeds this figure, you can call me and we can discuss it. Maybe If so, try to get the company's actors to participate in this drama as much as possible."

"Okay, boss. This year we, Xia Hua, have participated in the investment and production of six movies. Except for "Painted Skin 2", the others are considered small productions. If we win this one again, I'm afraid we won't be able to invest in other movies in the second half of the year." .”

"Why, there is no money so soon? Isn't there still a box office share of "Charlotte"?"

"Yes, the box office share of "Charlotte" will be credited at the end of the month according to the contract. The company will get a total of 5.1 million yuan, and the boss will get 10% according to the share ratio, which is about 1.5 million yuan."

"Isn't this enough funding? At the end of June, when we report in the second half of the year, we will talk about the next film plan."

"Boss, what about our theater construction?"

"Theatres, don't worry about this. Miaoyan is working to get some theaters to join us and establish our Xiahua theaters. And our Xiahua only needs to build one or two theaters in each city as a model.

You don’t need to include it in the plan. This is not our primary development direction, and investing in theaters doesn’t require Xiahua Film and Television to fully invest. Miaoyan Films is mainly responsible, and we just focus on content production. "

"Understood, then I can rest assured and continue to look for good investment projects."

"Well, don't worry, help young directors more, you can dig out from within the company, I plan to let a few assistant directors who have worked with me shoot a few low-cost movies in the second half of the year, and vigorously support and train them. understood."

After finishing the conversation with Zhang Zhao, after he left, Zhou Xia continued to seriously film "You in the Star".

Zhou Xia didn't want to waste this good ip, he wanted to make it a TV series that was as popular as the original, or even better than the original.

The total investment is as high as 5000 million!
From the selection of casting, costumes, props, and scenic spots, to the strict requirements for actors' performances during filming, Zhou Xia is slowly polishing, and the post-production, sound effects, special effects, etc. will also be refined.

So from the start on March 3th, it has been more than half of the filming in two months.

The filming of Zhou Xia's part will be at the end of May, and it will probably take another one and a half months for the entire crew to wrap up.

This can be regarded as the longest film he has filmed. It took about [-] hours a day for two and a half months, and the workload was still heavy.

The filming continued. Two days after Zhang Zhao went back, he called Zhou Xia, saying that Master Xing was willing to cooperate with Xia Hua, but regarding the guaranteed release, I hope he will discuss in detail after the cast is confirmed after the audition. .

Moreover, Zhang Zhao invited Master Xing to visit Xia Hua this week, and hoped that Zhou Xia would go back to treat her and arrange auditions.

Zhou Xia felt very reliable when he heard the news.

Xia Hua is a new company. Although it has developed rapidly and released another 'satellite', which has created a box office record of 15 billion and shocked the entertainment circle, it is still not as influential as Hua Yi in the circle.

In addition, the Internet entertainment company is still a new concept, and it is not so easy for everyone to accept in later generations, so Master Xing brought people to visit Xia Hua, probably because he wanted to confirm Xia Hua's strength and see if Xia Hua is as legendary sharp.

In addition, when it comes to his audition, it should be superficial, what kind of acting skills he has, the circle is very clear, Master Xing will not fail to understand.

And "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons 2" Xing Ye can use the gun king, so if you use him now, you don't need to think about acting skills, just the box office appeal is enough to make Xing Ye tempted.

As for why he didn't take the initiative to invite him to audition before, it was either because he was afraid that he would refuse, or because he was afraid that the price would be too high. When he took the initiative to speak, it would naturally be easier to negotiate terms.

Zhou Xia promised Zhang Zhao that he would definitely go back to the company to receive Master Xing and his party in advance, and arrange auditions at the company.

Others are filming in several scenic spots in the imperial capital, and they can return to the company anytime.

After another two days of filming, around May 5th, Zhou Xingxing and his team came to the imperial capital, and Zhou Xia and several company executives received them
Xingye, who is 50 years old, has gray hair, but he doesn't look very old. He is wearing an ordinary black casual suit, loose casual pants and comfortable sneakers. When he got off the car with his assistant and his entourage, Zhou Xia was already in the company Waiting outside the door.

Treat guests with city.

Zhou Xia smiled and greeted him warmly, "Master Xing, I finally see you. I grew up watching your movies. Welcome, welcome to our Xia Hua."

Master Xing was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect Zhou Xia to be so kind and enthusiastic. Zhou Xia is now a 15 billion leader, so there is no need to be so polite with him.

But Master Xing is also a very humorous person. Seeing Zhou Xia's enthusiasm, he half-jokingly said: "Hehe, you are welcome, Zhou Xia, I am also very happy to meet you. Since you grew up watching my movies, you can Don't let the next time my movie is released, it will be released on the same schedule as mine!"

Zhou Xia and the people around him smiled slightly, which obviously meant that Zhou Xia's "Charlotte Annoyance" crushed three Xiangjiang comedy movies.

"Where, where, Master Xing was joking. If your movie is released, it's too late for us to hide. You are the king of comedy, and the 8 million young audiences in the mainland owe you a movie ticket!"

Zhou Xia responded with a smile.

"Hehe, that's all in the past tense. I hope my new movie will still be liked by everyone." Master Xing said politely.

"Please come in quickly, and talk slowly inside, as long as the style of Master Xing's movies is guaranteed, I think everyone will like it." Zhou Xia continued to give Master Xing a high hat.

But this is also true, Zhou Xingxing's brand has already been erected, as long as this name is mentioned, many people will be interested in his movies.

This is the audience preference cultivated by his comedy movies for more than 30 years. This has entered the consciousness of every audience who likes Chinese comedy movies. Everyone will form a conditioned reflex and just want to watch his movies.

A group of people walked into the company, and they were not in a hurry to sit down and talk. Zhou Xia first took everyone to visit Xiahua's interior.

From the creative department, screenwriting team, brokerage team, publicity team, artist training system, company growth, office space, artist training hall, song recording room, high-end film post-production equipment, professional talents, etc.

It took more than half an hour with Master Xing to watch it around, which can be regarded as basically watching Xia Hua Film and Television.

Master Xing and the people in his team looked at it very seriously, and the more they watched, the more at ease they became.

Although they still don't quite understand the work of some departments, Xia Hua's strength is unquestionable, so the next negotiation will naturally come to an end.
