Chapter 566 Blockbuster
Chen Jiahui waited quietly.
The general bet between directors and investors in the film industry is basically like this.
There is a guaranteed box office first. After all, investors have to make money before they can increase the director's dividend commission. Otherwise, Chen Jiahui invested 100 million, and the final box office of "Tangren" was only 300 million. If Chen Jiahui gave the director an additional dividend commission, he would definitely have to
Loss.
However, dividends and commissions like this are benefits enjoyed by great directors.
As for Chen Cheng, although the ratings of his last TV series "Modern Love" were good, as a film director for the first time, in a sense, he is really not qualified to negotiate terms with Chen Jiahui. If he wants to negotiate, wait until the first one does well at the box office.
Let’s talk about it in Part 2.
But now that someone has taken the initiative, it means that he is very confident in the film he directed, and Chen Jiahui doesn't mind taking a gamble with him.
After all, this did not cause any loss to Chen Jiahui.
On the contrary, it will make the director pay more attention when filming. But if "Tangren" fails, don't blame him, Chen Jiahui, for blacklisting him. He was given the opportunity, but he made the movie in a mess. That means he has no self-awareness.
After a while.
Dong Ya's voice finally came through the phone. She smiled and said, "Chen Jiahui, that's what we've settled on."
“Do I need to sign a betting contract!?”
Chen Jiahui asked and said, "If necessary, I will send someone to Taicheng with the contract tomorrow."
"The contract is waived. My husband and I still trust you."
Said.
Dong Ya made a joke and said, "If you dare not admit it then, I will cause trouble for Ye Xuan."
When Dong Ya was about to hang up the phone, Chen Jiahui heard Chen Cheng's voice coming from her end, seemingly complaining about why Dong Ya believed Chen Jiahui's verbal agreement.
Hang up the phone.
Chen Jiahui quickly put the matter aside.
As for Chen Cheng's complaints, Chen Jiahui just pretended not to hear them. It was not that Chen Jiahui planned to break the contract or anything, but that when the box office of "Tangren" really reached a certain number, Chen Jiahui would fulfill the verbal agreement, which would not only bring him closer to Chen Cheng, but also
Let everyone in the circle know that Chen Jiahui is very trustworthy.
Use a small thing.
Once you gain a good impression, the difficulty of cooperating with others in the future will be reduced a lot, at least everyone will be willing to trust him.
When he got home, Chen Jiahui saw his uncle Jize coming again. Chen Jiahui smiled bitterly. This was because he was worried that he would be procrastinating and refused to write the script, so he came directly to look at him.
After thinking about it, Chen Jiahui said, "Do you want to film the script I talked about that day? If it is filmed, I will write it. If not, you will buy a script."
Even Chen Jiahui himself admitted it.
He really has no talent for writing scripts. Without plagiarism, the plot he comes up with can be as vulgar as it is... Rebirth, a divorced woman, these two points alone are full of a strong aura of street fighting, but as long as
If you don't sign Chen Jiahui's name, just pounce! Anyway, it's not his money that's being lost.
"Can't you change it to another one!?"
Ji Ze was a little undecided.
"I have no other ideas for now, only that one"
Chen Jiahui said.
Looking at Ji Ze's chubby body, Chen Jiahui felt that he was really suitable for testing drugs.
Probably a little worried that Ji Ze wouldn't want his script, Chen Jiahui advised, "Brother Ze, think about it carefully, has this idea of mine never appeared in the film industry before!? In this way, I will add some suspense elements to you and use local
The space creates a sense of horror”
"..."
Ji Ze doesn't feel very good.
But all the scripts written by his eldest brother-in-law were sold, which made Ji Ze feel that his script was terrible, but at the same time he felt a sense of subversion.
These two feelings are not contradictory. The script is bad because the plot sounds worse than a major online movie, and the subversion is because Chen Jiahui's resume in the past two years is too brilliant. After thinking about it, Ji Ze said, "It sounds good, so
I plan to make a better movie, but 20 million won’t be enough. Don’t you like investing in movies? You can invest another 20 million in me, and we can make this movie together.”
"I'm having some financial difficulties during this time, so you should invest on your own! Don't worry, I won't charge you for this script. I will treat it as my brother-in-law's support for your filmmaking."
If it were a pirated script from Earth, Chen Jiahui would naturally not be so generous.
But this one is different. It is really an idea that he came up with himself. Chen Jiahui really wants to see what effect his idea will have when it is put on the screen.
certainly.
It is definitely impossible for him to invest his own money.
Because the risk factor is too high, the possibility of overturning is as high as 99%. Even if it is not more than 20 million, Chen Jiahui does not want to miss the mark.
Seeing Ji Ze's hesitant look, Chen Jiahui's face gradually turned ugly. He said with a cold face, "Uncle, what do you mean!? If you want a script, I will write it to you for free, but your current performance...
…Okay, since you don’t want it, I won’t force it, but don’t expect me to write other scripts for you. I can’t write them now and I won’t write them in the future.”
"no"
Ji Ze explained, "If you invest, I will definitely have confidence, but even if you don't invest, you can't put your name on this script. This makes me feel that you just wrote a random script to fool me. Jiahui, it's really not me."
I don’t believe you, but what you did makes me feel very confused! Let me tell you the truth, I still want to make hundreds of millions from the script you wrote, and then make a blockbuster that will be a hit from the beginning to the end, that kind of thing
Holding a cigar in his mouth, there is a series of explosions behind him."
"If you don't make a film, you'll find the script yourself."
Chen Jiahui said nothing and ignored Ji Ze.
"Write, write, write"
Ji Ze said helplessly, "If you lose money, don't blame me for going to your bathroom to cry."
"..."
Chen Jiahui was stunned.
Isn't this the way his wife, Director Zhou, has always done things after the movie was released? I didn't expect Ji Ze to do it. Sure enough, some things, like some professions, all rely on sex... inheritance.
After coming upstairs and taking a shower, Chen Jiahui began to help Ji Ze write "The Love of Time and Space".
Compared with the casualness of plagiarizing the earth, Chen Jiahui wrote extremely seriously this time, with a feeling of trying his best. Every time he typed a few words, he would stop and think.
Ji Ze, who was standing behind him, looked at Chen Jiahui's serious expression and then looked at the computer screen where he had not typed a few lines. Ji Ze was a little speechless. When Chen Jiahui wrote "Gunfire" two days ago, his speed was very fast.
Even the method of shooting is marked.
But what about this drama!?
Despite the slow writing, Ji Ze just couldn't understand it.
What is Big East and Little East!?
At a certain moment, Ji Ze really wanted to turn around and leave, but he hesitated and was pulled back by Chen Jiahui's previous achievements.
"I have to think about this script carefully. It will probably take half a year or a year to write. You go back now and come back at this time next year."
I just wrote not much.
Chen Jiahui lost his inspiration.
"Then let's change it to another one first. I'll shoot this one after you write it down."
Ji Ze breathed a sigh of relief and urged happily.
"All right!"
Chen Jiahui thought about it and felt that it was not an option to waste it like this. Plagiarism and originality were indeed two different things. Leaning back in his chair, Chen Jiahui took the tea that Ji Ze offered and took a few sips.
Immediately, Chen Jiahui seemed to have thought of something and quickly asked, "Have you not filmed abroad? You must know which foreign company is good at special effects."
Said.
Chen Jiahui stared directly at Ji Ze and said, "I will invest 350 million in you, and you will go abroad to help me make a thriller science fiction film..."
Ji Ze was stunned when he heard 350 million, and then his whole body trembled with excitement.
He slapped Chen Jiahui hard on the shoulder and said, "Once you are a brother-in-law, you will always be a brother-in-law. Don't worry, leave it to me. Your uncle has no other skills, but he is very good at shooting blockbusters. The bigger the investment, the more...
