Movies require money!

Everyone knows this truth.

If you want to select the most expensive industry in this world, movies may not be the first, but you can also rank in the top ten.

A shoddy online movie that is as small as tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars invested.

Epic blockbusters that are as big as hundreds of millions or even billions.

They are all called movies!

The so-called "before the troops move, food and grass will come first. If you want to make a movie, you have to find money first, commonly known as attracting investment.

But those who are familiar with the film industry know that the most difficult thing to do in this industry is to attract investment.

Large film and television companies or cultural media companies invest in many movies every year, but these movies are basically their own movies.

The copyright of the script is theirs, the crew is theirs, the director is theirs, and even most supporting actors are selected from within the company.

The copyright of the movie made in this way is theirs and the benefits are theirs!

Unless the investment amount is huge enough that these giants feel that they cannot take risks, they often do not choose to make movies with others.

Because this means that they have to share the profits of the movie after it is released with others.

Normally, if you are a new director, you have never made a movie before.

If you want to attract investment, there are usually only two ways. One is to join a large film and television company. To put it bluntly, you are joining the company.

Turn the movie you want to make into the movie you want to make in the company, and you will naturally have investment!

The second path is also very simple. If you invest yourself, or crowdfund among private people, shoot low-cost movies, and make a few movies. If you become popular, you can set up your own studio and use your own reputation to talk to the film and television company, and you can also get investment.

But no matter which path it is, those plots that fantasize about waving a script and immediately appearing in countless film and television companies are basically unrealistic.

To put it bluntly, if someone invests in you, you need to see the profits.

Every year, there are more good scripts on the market. Some are complex and changeable plots, some are flesh and blood, some are boring, and some are so literary that they cannot understand them at all.

But which one will have a box office after shooting it?

have no idea!

For an actor, a good script is crucial, because only a script with sufficient logical and self-consistent plot and sufficient characters can give the actors enough room to play.

But for a movie, the most important thing is never the actor, but the director!

How to show the image of each character, what kind of lens language, what kind of color language, what kind of light and shadow structure should be used, how to grasp the fast and slow turning points of the plot, and how to use the combination of various sound, light and shadow at the right time to give the audience enough stimulation.

These are things that the director needs to do.

So for film and television companies, investing in a good director is far more important than investing in a good script to make them interested. In other words, it is impossible to invest in just one good script!

The only ones that can impress the script can always be actors and directors, but it cannot impress film and television companies, nor can it attract investment!

As for investing yourself, it’s not impossible.

But you have to know that movies are very expensive, and they often invest hundreds of millions of dollars, and they will be gone if they are invested in them.

As we all know, Chen Chen lacks the most money!

This guy has never had any money. He eats his girlfriend while in the crew, and when he goes to the Magic City, he eats his girlfriend and lives with his girlfriend.

So when he said to Su Moli with confidence that he wanted to make a movie, Miss Su asked with confidence and replied: "Where is the money?"

You know, Moqing Studio is still in the early stage of investment, and Su Moli's investment of five million has already been spent.

Although Han Xiaoqing became popular, in order to maintain her popularity, Su Moli has been running around these days and has spent a lot of money. Basically, all the money she received in the business activities.

There are still 800,000 or 900,000 yuan on the books, so it is no problem to maintain daily operations, but if you want to make a movie, you can’t even see a splash if you spend this money!

Chen Chen said: "This movie is a campus theme, so there are actually not many big scenes. If you invest, you shouldn't be able to use much. In the past few days, I have learned about the market, equipment, labor, venue, costumes and props, plus the salary of the extras and crew. If you can finish filming in three months, it should be about 15 million and you can get it!"

Su Moli's eyes were wide open, and she coughed twice before she recovered and pointed to someone standing and talking without a pain in her back.

"You know that you have 15 million! Do you know that we don't even have 1.5 million on the books now?"

Chen Chen thought about it, picked up his phone, and sent two messages.

Not long after, Su Moli's cell phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was a notification message from a bank, account balance, Haiyan Entertainment Company transferred RMB 3.27 million to you, and the current account balance was 4.217 million.

He raised his head and said calmly: "Isn't the money here?"

Today is Tuesday, and yesterday the Recording Union just confirmed Lin Jun’s double platinum record.

As a famous poor man, Chen Chen of course called to collect the bill as soon as possible!

Although according to the agreement, it should be paid next month, Haiyan still thought that Chen Chen could help Lin Jun produce another album, so Ke Chengxiang hesitated for a while, but did not refuse, just said that he was helping to ask Mr. Fu.

So Chen Chen just sent another message to collect the bill, but this time it was fast, so he called him immediately!

"Haiyan Entertainment?" Su Moli was stunned when she looked at the reminder of the text message, and then she realized: "Lin Jun's album has broken two platinum?"

Su Moli has been very busy these days, so she didn't pay much attention to Lin Jun's album sales.

But when I saw Haiyan Entertainment, I immediately thought of Lin Jun’s album.

Her family makes records, so she is of course very familiar with the price of records. After a little calculation, she came to the conclusion.

A normal album, if it is a physical album, it will cost between 40 and 100 yuan. Taking Lin Jun's album as an example, the price of physical album is 60 yuan. Including the costs of filling, labor, distribution, etc., the cost should be around 20 yuan.

In other words, the profit of a physical album is about 40 yuan.

However, in this era, there are not many people who buy physical albums, most of them buy digital albums.

The cost of digital albums is even lower, mainly because they need to pay to the platform, which is about 20% of the price of the entire album. Lin Jun’s digital album is 20 yuan, and deducts 20% of the platform, and the profit is about 16 yuan.

Haiyan did not disclose the specific physical sales volume of this album, but in the contract they signed at that time, the guaranteed ones below double platinum, while the above double platinum was carried out in a share mode.

So Su Moli calculated based on the normal 10-to-1 online and offline calculations, and it was easy to get the answer.

With a share of three million and two hundred and seventy thousand, the sales of the album will at least break through double platinum!

After thinking it through, Miss Su couldn't help but feel a little shocked: "So quickly, if I remember correctly, this is the second week of the album's release, right?"

She has indeed seen the promotion and promotion of "Bubbles" in many places these days.

But, two weeks of double platinum?

It's too scary!

Chen Chen smiled and said, "If they hadn't taken the wrong path at the beginning, they would have been faster! But this doesn't matter. With this money, the movie will be started enough?"
Chapter completed!
