How many directors are there in the industry?

Apparently a lot.

There are definitely no shortage of excellent directors.

There are many directors like Ning Yuan who have made amazing movies.

If he goes to a large company with fierce competition, he may have the opportunity to direct.

But there may not be many such opportunities.

Even as he himself said, if the next movie fails, then it may not be that easy to find another chance.

But if he sneaks into Zhang Yu's studio, it is very likely that he will start shooting a movie immediately.

"have a look."

Zhang Yu took out a script and handed it over.

Ning Yuan was not polite and took it immediately.

Compared to the first time I took over Zhang Yu's script, there was obviously no more contempt and doubt.

"It's a low-budget comedy," Zhang Yu said, "but I think it should still be good."

Zhang Yu finally chose a low-cost comedy.

Of course, Zhang Yu is not short of money now, at least he doesn’t have to go through Sosou like the original version.

In terms of actor selection, you can also choose some tricks.

In this way, the box office should be more secure.

Of course, it is too early to think about what will happen in the end.

"Huh? Multi-line narrative?"

Ning Yuan frowned, said this, and then started reading again.

Seeing this, Zhang Yu didn't say anything, but waited quietly.

"This movie is interesting." Ning Yuan looked at Zhang Yu and said, "I have to go back and think about it again? How much are you going to invest this time?"

"Don't ask me, ask Lao Fang." Zhang Yu shook his head and said.

The cost of film shooting and production will not be too high, it mainly depends on the actors' remuneration.

High, there is a high shooting method.

Low, there is a way to shoot low.

"Buried Alive" could be made by Zhang Yu for 80 million yuan, and this movie is even easier.

However, it's obviously not necessary.

Zhang Yu is not planning to make any film this time that will be either well-received or not a hit.

It’s best to get good reviews and good crowds, but it’s okay not to get good reviews!

Zhang Yu has only one stance on this movie: investors!

"Buried Alive" director Ning Yuan signed a contract with Zhang Shisan's studio.

This news still caused quite a stir in the industry.

Many people don't understand that with so many big companies approaching Ning Yuan, why did he choose a newly established studio?

"Does Ning Yuan have a new movie to shoot?" Wang Mei approached Zhang Yu and asked straight to the point.

"Why is Sister Hua so sure?"

Zhang Yu asked with a smile.

He did not deny it, and there was no need to deny it.

"If not, why would he sign into your studio?" Wang Mei said, "Are you participating in the show?"

"Not sure yet." Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "Probably not. What, does the company have any ideas?"

"The idea is definitely there." Wang Mei said, "With a company joining, it will undoubtedly be more secure for your movie."

Zhang Yu did not deny this.

He didn't even think about eating alone.

Even though he is confident that the movie will not lose money.

If Wansheng Film and Television participates in investment, Zhang Yu may not necessarily lose money.

His studio is obviously not mature enough in terms of film and television production and distribution, and it even only has a framework.

If the company participates, it will naturally save a lot of trouble.

What's more, his studio is still affiliated with Wansheng Film and Television.

Can't be avoided.

What we want to talk about now is nothing more than investment and profit distribution.

"How much does the company want to invest?" Zhang Yu asked.

"Just nod." Wang Mei said, "As for how to operate, just let them talk about it."

The company is naturally very optimistic about Ning Yuan and Zhang Yu cooperating again.

The only regrettable thing is that Zhang Yu doesn't seem to be planning to participate.

If he doesn't participate, then the company's positioning on the film will naturally drop.

Zhang Yu nodded and said nothing more.

As for the specific discussion, there is no need for either of them to participate.

Wang Mei jumped to Wansheng Film and Television. In addition to being in charge of artist management, she was also responsible for the investment and production of some film and television works.

If we can't develop better, why jump out of the nest?

Wang Mei obviously has more resources at her disposal now.

"How's your album going?" Wang Mei asked.

Wansheng Film and Television has some shortcomings in music, but that doesn't mean it's incompetent.

The company even used Zhang Yu's album to completely open up channels in this area.

"The song is almost recorded," Zhang Yu said, "The next step is to shoot the music video."

"Ning Yuan shouldn't take this job, right?" Wang Mei said.

Zhang Yu probably wouldn't let Ning Yuan take the photo either.

Pure waste.

Asking a film director to shoot a music video is overkill.

"Does the company have a suitable one?" Zhang Yu asked.

"Then I will arrange one for you." Wang Mei said, "You have a high chance of winning this Golden Dragon Award. Are you really not going to take advantage of the situation and take on a few movies?"

"Is this what Sister Hua is doing today?" Zhang Yu looked at Wang Mei with a smile.

He used to think that the other party came here for Ning Yuan's new film, but now it seems that he wants him to take the role.

They may have made a name for themselves with "Buried Alive", but they won't be taken seriously by big companies like Wansheng Film and Television.

"Does Director Chen Shan know?" Wang Mei nodded and said.

She really came here for this.

"How could you not know?" Zhang Yu said with a smile.

Chen Shan is a top-notch director in China and one of the directors with the most box office appeal.

There are only a handful of companies in the country that can compare with it.

"Director Chen will not sign a contract with Wansheng Film and Television, right?" Zhang Yu then asked with some surprise.

"Yeah!" Wang Mei nodded and said, "His new film has an investment of over 300 million."

Three hundred million investment?

This is definitely a blockbuster.

Has there ever been such a large investment in China?

few.

With an investment of 300 million and a box office of less than 1 billion, it would be a loss.

There are really not many films with domestic box office sales exceeding 1 billion these days.

The risk is obviously not small.

Even though Chen Shan’s box office appeal is very strong.
