Entertainment: I Just Want To Get Rid Of My Aunt’s Curse

"It doesn't matter if it's hot or not, as long as there are aunties to take care of it." Lu Yan said calmly.

Yang Mi hummed: "Who said just now that you don't want to eat soft rice?"

Lu Yan quickly defended: "Who said that being raised by a rich woman and aunt means that you are eating soft rice?"

"Auntie provides the money, and the little fresh meat contributes the effort. We all earn our hard-earned money through physical strength, blood and sweat!"

"I have put in a lot of physical labor, and it has nothing to do with eating soft rice."

Liu Tianxian covered his mouth and smiled: "You know how to talk nonsense."

Yang Mi suddenly patted her forehead.

"By the way, you mentioned the gambling agreement before. I want to hear your opinion."

"I know you're talking nonsense, but I still want to hear it. It's you who told me to talk about it later."

Lu Yan was stunned for a moment: "That can't be said now. It's a few days ago."

Yang Mi raised her high heels and stepped on him lightly.

"Pull over and show me your driver's license! I'm serious about this."

"You asked me to sign a gambling agreement with Zeng Jia and Zhao Ruoyao. The total box office of the five movies exceeded 4 billion, and a profit of close to 1 billion was guaranteed."

"Are you dreaming? A movie's box office revenue is divided according to the principle of three to one."

"That is to say, after a movie is released, one-third of the total box office can return to the hands of the film studio."

"One-third minus the cost is the net profit. Let's calculate the cost of production, promotion and distribution of each movie as 200 million."

"The cost of five movies is 1 billion, and there is also a net profit of 1 billion. If it is equal to five movies, we will get 2 billion."

"After calculating this, the box office needs 6 billion! Your proposal is inconsistent, 4 billion box office is not enough!"

Yang Mi took a sip of water.

"Of course, what I said is a bit exaggerated. Under ideal conditions, the cost of some movies may be more than 100 million, or even less than 100 million."

"Control the cost, the total box office is not much different from the 4 billion you mentioned."

"Just use the 4 billion you mentioned. Five movies have a box office of 4 billion, with an average of 800 million."

"800 million! What is the concept? A banknote printing machine may not be able to print 800 million even if it prints for a month."

Lu Yan spread his hands: "This is your only way to break the situation. I'm 100% sure."

"You won't believe it now. I can come up with a script first, and the three of us will invest in it."

"Don't go through Jiaxing Media's account, the money you make in this way belongs to us."

Yang Mi originally thought Lu Yan was making fun of her.

But Lu Yan had a serious expression and a solemn demeanor.

There was no hint of joking at all.

"Is there really a script? Send it to us for a look."

Lu Yan extracted the script of "Charlotte Trouble" from the system mall with one click.

The reason why I chose this script.

It's because this movie is a comedy.

There are no fight scenes and no special effects.

There are no planes, tanks, drag racing...

The shooting is very difficult and the cycle is short.

Moreover, comedy has always been a money-making tool for the domestic film industry and is extremely strong.

What's more, "Charlotte" had achieved very dazzling box office results in its previous life.

In this world where entertainment is scarce, it can be called a dimensionality reduction attack.

There isn’t much in the script.

The main story is that the male protagonist Charlotte is a lazy waste.

If you are not good at your own abilities, you still need to save face.

While attending the wedding of her female classmate Qiu Ya, she accidentally traveled back to her student days.

A series of funny things happened.

The movie script is not thick, only a few dozen pages.

Yang Mi and Liu Tianxian are both veteran actors and can read scripts very quickly.

They ate and drank while reading the script, and finished it in an hour.

During the process, the two aunts kept laughing throughout the process.

Real aunt laughs!

Yang Mi covered her chest and almost burst out laughing.

"Isn't it so funny? Just reading the script made me laugh half to death."

"I have never seen such an interesting script. I feel it is much more interesting than "囧"."

"If we find a big comedy star to play the role, we might be able to get good box office results. I've voted for this project!"

Liu Tianxian seconded: "It's really funny, and the ending is very touching. Who do you plan to cast?"

Lu Yan responded without hesitation: "Shen Teng."

In his previous life, Shen Teng was not well-known when he appeared in "Charlotte Trouble".

It has absolutely no box office appeal.

Even so, when the movie market was not so crazy, it still made more than one billion at the box office.

The economic level of this world is no worse than that of previous generations.

Shen Teng is already a famous superstar with box office appeal.

Even if the overall movie market is in the doldrums.

Lu Yan is also confident that once this blockbuster comedy comes out, breaking the record of "囧囧" on the Chinese film box office list is just the beginning.

Yang Mi thought about it for a while.

"Shen Teng is indeed suitable. I know him, so I should be able to invite him."

"According to my experience, the actors' salary, production costs and publicity expenses for this comedy are almost 120 million."

"If you want to increase publicity, you won't need 150 million to survive."

Actors are paid relatively little to make movies.

Many popular celebrities shoot TV series and charge 100 million at every turn.

But for a movie, their price may be cut in half, or even reduced to 10 to 20 million.

Because the movie requires the audience to spend real money to buy tickets in the cinema.

TV series can be broadcast online or on TV stations to earn advertising fees, traffic fees, etc.

The bulk of a movie's income is box office.

Once the box office fails, it will suffer heavy losses.

If the risk is too great, the pay will naturally be lowered.

Those big names with super box office appeal.

The basics of their movies are very stable, but the asking prices are not too high.

Because they are no longer satisfied with the paycheck.

Box office dividends are the most important thing.

Therefore, the estimated cost of "Charlotte Troubles" is capped at 150 million.
