1. Outside the beach.
Su Zhe suddenly appeared on a beach. In the distance, two children were playing. A guard noticed him.
The guards found a pistol and a top on him and brought him into the castle by the beach. They saw a white-haired old man.
Guard (to the old man): Boss, we found a person by the sea. He is mentally deranged, but he specifically wants to see you.
The guard placed the pistol and the top on the table. Su Zhe was brought behind the long table, and the guard gave him a portion of food.
The old man asked,"Are you here to kill me?"
Su Zhe lowered his head in silence.
The old man picked up the top and said," I know what this is. Many, many years ago, I met a young man. That man had many crazy ideas."
The top started spinning (Close-up)
The old man asked,"I'm waiting for someone?"
Su Zhe raised his head (staring at the old man) and thought,'A person I met in a vague dream.'
The old man said,"You are Su Zhe. This is impossible!" He was a young man, and I was an old man.
Su Zhe said deeply,"I came back to find you and remind you of something…something you once knew."
The top was still spinning (close-up), and the old man was trembling. Do you want me to keep our agreement?
Su Zhe thought,"Yes, let's go all out and wake up…"
……
"Zhang Fan! This script was simply too imaginative! How did your head grow? If this movie can be produced according to your script, the box office earnings will start at at least 1 billion!”
An hour later, Xu Qingqing stared at Zhang Fan like a hungry wolf.
"Master Fan is really awesome this time. To be honest, when I saw this book, I was also shocked.”Niu Chen said.
Xu Qingqing held the script tightly and frowned. She said,"The script is a good one, and it will definitely be a hit if it's filmed. However, this is obviously a special effects blockbuster. The investment is huge, at least 200 million.”
Zhang Fan turned his computer screen around and smiled confidently."
"I've done a careful calculation. If we keep the actors 'pay below 20 million, the film production cost will be less than 100 million. Most of the scenes would be green, and the special effects shots would only need 600 or so…If he could package the special effects separately for the special effects company to produce, he could further reduce the cost.”
As someone who worked in the film and television industry, Zhang Fan was very clear about the rules of the film and television industry.
Now, the film giants of the East and West were fighting for the global box office crazily. Good films were appearing frequently. It could be said that this was the golden age of the film industry, which caused the fast cake of film and television to expand rapidly. This also directly led to the birth of a large number of film and television practitioners.
It wasn't just the director and the celebrities, but also the surrounding, scriptwriters, and soundtracks…
The special effects industry was also full of competitors, and the competition was fierce, causing the prices to be lower and lower.
Furthermore, Zhang Fan would be able to obtain a complete movie. There wouldn't be any extra scenes during filming, which would greatly reduce the budget.
……
"I'm impressed, I'm impressed. Zhang Fan, you're actually quite good at budget planning. As expected of our school's genius.”Xu Qingqing looked at Zhang Fan with a strange expression.
Finally, she couldn't help but ask,""Sigh, I'm just puzzled. You're so perfectionist, so there shouldn't be any problems with those two web dramas. "I've seen it. Some of the scenes and scenes are simply a stroke of genius, but the plot and the acting skills of the female lead, tsk tsk…are simply too eye-piercing.”
Zhang Fan smiled bitterly.
Niu Chen scolded indignantly,""It's all because of that son of a b * tch, Liu Chao, who specializes in crooked ways…"
"Old Bull,"
" Shut up!" Zhang Fan shouted as he interrupted Niu Chen.
"Let's not talk about the past. After all, he's my friend, and he even provided me with the funds to film…I'll just treat it as practice.”
He straightened his expression and asked Xu Qingqing with a smile,
"How about it, vixen, are you willing to star in my movie?”
"A good script is hard to come by, not to mention that it's my brother's first movie.”Xu Qingqing said.
Zhang Fan smiled." Alright, you're my female lead now. Prepare to receive my training. Now, let's talk about your salary.”
Niu Chen chuckled." We're all on the same side. Qingqing, good Qingqing, can you give us a discount?" Why don't I give you a loving hug?”
As he spoke, he opened his arms and hugged Xu Qingqing.
"Get lost!"
Xu Qingqing raised her leg and kicked.
Niu Chen hurriedly dodged.
She looked at the perverted man with disdain and said casually,"We'll talk about the pay later. The most important thing now is the funding. Count me in. I believe this drama can make a lot of money.”
"Let's just pull in investors. The five major film companies have plenty of money. What they lack is a good script. We can go to them. There will definitely be people willing to invest. If it's not enough, I have 10 million yuan here.”Niu Chen said as he glanced at Zhang Fan.""Master Fan just sold the house that his grandfather gave him. He should have around ten million yuan.”
He wasn't afraid of Xu Qingqing taking the profits, but he was worried about the loss.
Although Niu Chen's family had some money, it was only around a few million. If he took out ten million, he would probably have to scrape together everything. That was the limit.
They were men. If they failed, they could make a comeback. However, Xu Qingqing was a woman. To put it bluntly, she was young. Her peak period was only a few years, so she would not spend his money if she could.
Now, Inception's script had indeed amazed the two of them. However, the film and television industry did not lack good scripts, good directors, or good movies, so there was no guarantee that they would make a hundred percent of the money.
This was not a novel, but reality.
Xu Qingqing glared at Niu Chen.
"Are you looking down on me? If I lose, I can bear it…Hmph, I'm willing.”
As she spoke, Xu Qingqing's beautiful eyes flashed as she winked at Zhang Fan.""Call me daddy. Call me daddy and I'll invest no less than 30 million.”
Zhang Fan had a serious expression on his face.
I'm an eight-foot-tall man, and I'm 180 anyway.
Calling him daddy, hehe, is that even possible?
"Dad, I'm not going back. As long as you invest, I'm willing to repay your kindness.”
"F * ck, where's your integrity, brother?" Niu Chen laughed strangely and looked at Xu Qingqing." Chief Qing, what do you think?”
"Get lost."
Xu Qingqing's delicate face flushed red.""I'm not looking for a man! However…there was still a gap of nearly 50 million.”
Zhang Fan smiled.
He took out a black card from his pocket.
"Swiss Bank, 10 million USD. You can withdraw it at any time.”
"F * ck! Brother Fan, Master Fan, is this true?”
Niu Chen pounced over and grabbed Zhang Fan's hand. He then kissed the back of Zhang Fan's hand."I love you so much. Muah, muah."
"Get lost!"
Zhang Fan forcefully pushed him away.
"Where did you get it?"
Xu Qingqing asked seriously.
Niu Chen also looked over.
" Would you believe me if I told you that I'm being kept by someone else?" Zhang Fan asked.”
"Go to hell!"
Xu Qingqing punched Zhang Fan in disbelief.
It was not worth that much money.
Then, she said thoughtfully,"Now that we have enough funds, we still have to pull in some investments for ourselves."”
Niu Chen snapped his fingers.”
An additional investor would not dilute the profits.
It was because these established film and television companies had more resources and connections, allowing the film to have higher exposure and screening rates.
"Then go find him."
" Alright," Zhang Fan clapped his hands." Now, I officially announce that the 'Inception' production team has been officially established! Master Qing, you have a lot of connections in the entertainment industry, so I'll leave the matter of attracting investors to you. If you're interested, let's go and talk about it personally.”
"No problem, leave this to me."
Xu Qingqing patted her chest, and it suddenly rose and fell.
Zhang Fan fiercely retracted his gaze and said to Niu Chen,"
"Master Bull, you're in charge of communicating with the actors 'guild. We need a large number of extras. Also, send emails to all the celebrities and invite them to come over for an audition…"
"Alright, Master Fan."
……
October 9th, 2019.
Zhang Fan's first movie was officially established as his own director. This was his first step toward becoming a legendary director.
