What if my daughter wants to be a star

Chapter 78 Box Office Guarantee

"The Unknown" is about a pair of low-profile robbers in a small mountain town, a down-and-out security guard, a woman with a physical disability but a brutal character, and a series of people living on different social trajectories. The little guy, on a seemingly ordinary day, because of a lost old gun and an Oolong robbery that happened in the city that day, they were screwed together by mistake, and the scenes that happened were laughable and absurd. comedy.

The above synopsis is from Baidu.

Su Ye briefly talked about the context of the entire plot. As a "senior film and television investor," Gao Xiyao immediately applauded: "This plot is good and it will definitely sell well!"

"It's very complicated. It is a test of the director's skill to cover so many plots within two hours." Gao Zhengxiang analyzed, "but I think your director skill is not bad."

"How about it, did this movie make a big deal?" Su Ye asked with a smile.

"It's really good, you said it's a comedy. The plot is OK. If the elements of the comedy can match perfectly, it will definitely get a lot of money in the box office. You should write the script first." Gao Zhengxiang said.

"Uncle Gao understands movies well." Su Ye said.

"You said that the characters inside must speak Sichuan and Shu dialect? What is the significance of this setting?" Gao Xiyao asked.

Su Ye said: "Using dialects can make the characters vivid and real, and people who also use this dialect will naturally have a sense of intimacy with the movie. Moreover, this story takes place in Sichuan and Sichuan, and the dialect is only delicious!"

"It makes sense, not bad, not bad." Gao Zhengxiang said.

Then he remembered a question: "Suddenly talking about making a new movie, wouldn't it mean that I should invest again?"

"Look at what you said, can investment make money, why not invest?" Ye Xiyun said.

Gao Xiyao smiled and shook her head, and said, "Dad doesn't need it. Our company has made a lot of two movies. It should be enough, right Su Ye?"

Su Ye nodded: "Enough, the cost of this movie should not be high, it may be the highest, it is to invite the actors."

"Which actor are you planning to hire?" Gao Xiyao asked.

Su Ye said: "In this movie, I want everyone to recognize Xiaoxue's acting skills. So I think that when looking for actors, you should find old actors with good acting skills, so that Xiaoxue can learn something from the bones of old dramas in the filming. Secondly, the audience can see that Xiaoxue’s performance is not weak even in a bunch of old dramas."

That's what Su Ye thought.If you want to improve your acting skills, it takes time, but if you want your acting skills to be recognized, you have to be able to play with old opera bones.

As long as Su Qingxue can perform well in "The Nameless", Su Ye believes that people will definitely see Su Qingxue's acting!

"That's right! You have to find the old opera bones, look for the old opera bones to act in, then the whole movie can be upgraded. A good script and a good actor will definitely succeed!" Gao Zhengxiang said, and he had another drink Jiu, "Just look for a movie king to play later, don't care about the pay, if it is not enough, I will give it to you! Xiaoxue has suffered this time, and you must let those people take a good look at what is the future movie queen!"

"You must take good shots, I like Xiaoxue's acting very much." Ye Xiyun said.

Su Ye pondered for a moment and thought of one thing.He toasted Gao Zhengxiang a glass of wine, and then said: "Since Uncle Gao is looking for the best actors and making the best movies, why not make Uncle Gao a box office guarantee for "The Unknown"?"

"Box office guarantee?" Everyone was taken aback when they heard this.

The so-called box office guarantee is a box office promise made by a film distribution company to investors or producers.Take "The Unknown Person" as an example. If Gao Zhengxiang guarantees it, then if "The Unknown Person" does not reach the guaranteed box office figure, Gao Zhengxiang still needs to split the account according to this amount.

This box office guarantee allows the producers to obtain benefits in a short period of time, but for the distributors, it is a game.

If the box office exceeds the guarantee, the issuer will make a big profit; if the box office is below the guarantee, the issuer will have to suffer.

Nowadays, it is very popular in China that the bottom of the box office is guaranteed. In the past, the "Mermaid" of Star Master was said to have a minimum amount of 2 billion, and the final box office of "The Mermaid" was nearly 3.4 billion. Both the publisher and the producer made a lot of money.There are also such as "Heart Flower Road Fang" guaranteed 500 million, box office 1.2 billion; "The Return of the Great Sage" guaranteed 200 million, box office 950 million; and the famous and eternally famous "Wolf Warriors 2", guaranteed 800 million blood and earned 5.6 billion !

Of course, if you win at the box office, you will lose. Director Jiang's "One Step Away" has a guaranteed bottom of 1 billion, but the box office is only 500 million; last year's "Crazy Alien" received a staggering 2.8 billion guaranteed release, but the final box office was only 2.2 billion. , Lost money.As for Director Xu’s new work "Mom" this year, it also received a guarantee of 2.4 billion yuan, but I don’t know whether the publisher will make a profit or lose after it is actually released.

Box office guarantee can also be said to be a gambling, a game.The risks are high, but the profits are also high.The reason why Su Ye thought of letting Gao Zhengxiang guarantee the bottom was also to build momentum for The Unknown.

When I was on Earth, "The Unknown" had almost no publicity in the early stage, and the actor basically won 800 million box office under the condition that there is basically no front line. Now I am fully operating, how can this box office double?

"Well..." Gao Zhengxiang hesitated, and finally agreed, "Okay, just treat it as a gift to Xiaoxue. I will create an investment company right away. When your movie is finished, I will guarantee it. I am the real boy. Like it!"

"That's really thank you Uncle Gao." Su Ye smiled and clinked glasses with Gao Zhengxiang.

"Thank you Uncle Gao!" Su Qingxue also picked up the wine glass.

"It's a bit strange that you father and daughter call me uncle at the same time." Gao Zhengxiang muttered, drinking the wine from the toast.

...

After dinner, Su Ye immediately took the time to write the script.As one of the hottest movies in 18 years, Su Ye has watched "The Unknown" many times and admires the screenwriter's ability to speak stories.However, he still encountered difficulties when writing the script-because he could not speak Sichuan and Shu dialect.

Fortunately, the tool person Shen Shaoyan is from Sichuan and Shu. Su Ye called Shen Shaoyan overnight and changed all Mandarin lines into dialects.

"What's the big move?" Shen Shaoyan asked.

"Go back to the big one this time." Su Ye smiled.

"How old is it?"

"Anyway, a few bigger than you."

"Fuck!"

...

Two days later, the script was completed, and Su Ye pulled all the leadership of Tianjing Film and Television to discuss the issue of casting.

The people attending this meeting are:

Director Su Ye Su, known as the most handsome in the universe!

Director Su Qingxue, the daughter of Director Su, Gao Xiyao, the daughter-in-law of Director Su, Han Ling, the deputy director of Su Da, Lin Yan, the newly signed actor of Su Da, and the supporting role Yuge, the licking dog and queen of director Su Da.

That's right, Lin Yan has terminated the contract with the original agency and became the third entertainer and actor of the "Thirteen Young Masters in Beijing".

Cough.

"Everyone has read the script, what do you want to say?" Su Ye asked everyone with a smile.

"This script is great! Old Su, did you really write it in two days?" Han Ling looked excited, but also a little puzzled, "Why not film "Alice in Wonderland"?"

"I'll discuss it again. I actually wrote this script in two days." Su Ye didn't know why Han Ling had such a big obsession with "Alice in Wonderland".

"Dad, this sharp line must have been invented by you, right?" Su Qingxue pointed to the part of the script where Ma Jiaqi spit out.

"Hmm...what's the problem?"

"No problem, just thinking about how you translated it into dialect."

"Shen Shaoyan!" Su Ye said.

If you have any questions, you are right to find Shen Shaoyan, he is Su Ye's system!

"Yes, Shaoyan is from Sichuan and Shu, but I have never seen him curse so hard." Han Ling said.

"...That's because I made up all this."

"As expected of Director Su!" Yu Ge praised.

Damn Su Ye didn't know for a moment whether Yu Ge was complimenting or mocking herself.

"So, the script unanimously passed?" Su Ye asked.

"Well, I'm fine."

"I'm fine."

Su Ye nodded, and then said, "Well, do you have any recommended candidates? Don't care about the cost of casting this time. I just want to make a movie that is destined to shock the world! So, what is the level of the actress? Yes, sift it all over!"
