After a grand celebration party, Shen Xiuhan woke up early the next morning to the warm fragrance of his assistant. He drove his big white Gallardo to the headquarters of Bonar.
Then, after a week of haggling between more than ten entertainment companies, Operation Red Sea was finally decided.
Among them, 400 million was invested in the movie, 100 million was invested in publicity, and the total investment for the movie was as high as 500 million.
And this 500 million was led by Xiuhan Entertainment, Bona, and the H Government Center.
Bona invested 100 million yuan, accounting for 25% of the investment ratio, and announced that 50 million yuan would account for 50% of the distribution ratio.
Xiuhan Entertainment's investment of 150 million accounted for 37.5% of the total investment. Adding on Shen Xiuhan's director's share (5%) and actor's share (2.5%), Xiuhan Entertainment's total investment accounted for 45%.
Hai government center, investment 50 million, accounting for 12.5%.
The total investment of the three companies was 300 million.
The remaining 100 million investment and 50 million publicity were split equally between more than ten entertainment companies.
Such a big production was unprecedented. The moment the project was confirmed, it caused a sensation in the entire entertainment industry.
...

No matter where we are overseas, when the lives and property of our compatriots are in danger, we never choose to give up passively.

After the script, there was a short video. Dozens of major countries 'J warships braved the wind and waves. It was shocking!
Shen Xiuhan immediately forwarded the copy and the short video.

More than a dozen entertainment companies announced that Shen Xiuhan and Operation Red Sea immediately dominated the top trending searches of the day.
[With Director Shen Xiuhan, with the military of a big country, Operation Red Sea! Witnessing the might of the country![ In the first second, the topic reached the top of the trending searches.
Yes, Red Sea Operation was a mission film.
No matter how reckless he was, he did not dare to be stupid. Even if he was not popular, he would still be the top trending topic, not to mention that Shen Xiuhan's new film had been officially announced.
And Shen Xiuhan, this new generation director, had actually won the 500 million RMB blockbuster, Operation Red Sea, which caused a sensation on the Internet.
...
"Hai army evacuation, Red Sea operation! Just by looking at the script and short film, as well as this shocking official announcement, it was so exciting!”
"Operation Red Sea, the theme is bursting with anticipation!”
"Ahhhh, hubby is so awesome! I'm looking forward to 'Operation Red Sea'. I'm looking forward to Director Shen Xiuhan!”
"Shen Xiuhan, you're so awesome. A big production with a 500 million investment.”
"A good theme, a good director, and good actors. I hope we can make a good movie. I look forward to it!”
"I'm looking forward to the evacuation of the Hai army. I believe it will definitely be a hot-blooded movie. I hope Shen Xiuhan won't disappoint his fans.”
"I hope that Shen Xiuhan will shoot another Wolf Warrior 2 from the H Army, not Sky Hunt from the K Army. I'm looking forward to Red Sea Operation.”
"Holy sh * t, an investment of 500 million means that the movie will need at least 1.7 billion to barely cover its losses. Isn't Shen Xiuhan, a young director, afraid of losing everything?”
...
On the Internet, netizens were looking forward to it, discussing it, and questioning it…
In the entertainment industry, those who heard the news would use their connections to pull strings and those who used the back door to pull strings.
In any case, the phone rang nonstop with the director of Operation Red Sea, Shen Xiuhan!
It was so annoying that Shen Xiuhan immediately changed his private phone number, finally making the people in the industry realize…
Well, this rising star director seemed to be…He was angered.
...
"Director Shen, what are your plans for the actors? I'm not bragging, but if you can name it, I can hire someone for you.”
Shen Xiuhan did not doubt Yu Dong's words.
In the face of a big production like Operation Red Sea and a mission film like this, as long as Shen Xiuhan sent an invitation…
In the entire entertainment industry, no matter how big a star was, no one would dare to reject him!
However, Shen Xiuhan shook his head.""I don't plan to use any big names in Operation Red Sea.”
Yu Dong's face froze."But you know that 'Red Sea Operation' is a mission film. The more big stars we invite, the more eye-catching it will be and the greater the publicity effect."”
"Producer Yu, you're only right about one thing." Shen Xiuhan shook his index finger. A-list celebrities could create a sensational eye-catching effect, but the essence of a movie still depended on the movie itself, not the so-called stars.”
"It's good to be a big shot, but first of all, if the pay is too high, it will severely squeeze the budget for the movie.”
"Secondly, it's difficult to adjust the schedule of the big shots. It will seriously drag down the filming progress, and in turn, it will cause a waste of funds.”
"Third, I request that the 'Red Sea Operation' be filmed on the spot. The footprints will be spread across the three continents of YFO. This is definitely not something that the big names are willing to suffer.”
"To sum up, not only is it useless to invite big names for this kind of movie, but it will also become a burden for the movie. Therefore, I object to inviting any big names.”
Seeing that Yu Dong still wanted to argue, Shen Xiuhan directly said,"Alright, if Producer Yu insists on hiring big names, then I will personally withdraw my investment. Then, the movie will have an additional investment of 200 million yuan. Moreover, Producer Yu has to promise that if any of the big names delay the release of the movie in the future, you will resolve it yourself.”
When Yu Dong heard this, he immediately shut his mouth obediently.
F * ck, he didn't dare to make such a guarantee for this kind of mission.
Moreover, the investment was already as high as 500 million. If he added another 200 million, Shen Xiuhan would withdraw his investment…
With a funding gap of 350 million yuan, the major investors would definitely be in an uproar.
...
Seeing Yu Dong shut his mouth, Shen Xiuhan heaved a sigh of relief and handed him a list of names.
Yu Dong picked it up and saw that it was Zhang Yi, Du Jiang, Zhang Hanyu, Yin Fang, Wang Qiang, and seven or eight other actors who were not very famous, but they were all strong actors.
"What are these?"
Shen Xiuhan nodded."That's right. They're the actors I like. Producer Yu, help me contact them for an audition. If there's no problem, they'll be the only male actors."”
Yu Dong nodded and was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something and retreated: "By the way, Director Shen, your movie doesn't have any big names. You have to go on stage yourself, right?”
"Yes, I will play the role of the sniper, Gu Shun." Shen Xiuhan nodded.”
Yu Dong heard this and shook his head,""You should still play the role of the captain of the flood dragon, Yang Rui. That role has more scenes.”
"Zhang Yi is more suitable for this role. I'm more suited for Gu Shun." Shen Xiuhan shook his head.”
"But this role doesn't have too many scenes," Yu Dong said helplessly.”
Shen Xiuhan nodded."Don't worry, Producer Yu. I still have to improve the script. I'll add some scenes for Gu Shun's role, and I'll also give Gu Shun a part in the opening sniper, Luo Xing."”
"I'm the one who started the movie. Don't worry, I won't have too few scenes.”
"Of course, it won't be too much. Red Sea Operation isn't the individual heroism of Wolf Warrior 2.”
Gu Shun was the sniper played by Huang Jingyu.
Luo Xing was the character played by Sharpshooter Wang Yanlin.
The two characters merged into one, and with the addition of some explosive scenes, Gu Shun's role was definitely better than the original.
...
Yu Dong felt a little helpless when he saw Shen Xiuhan's choice. Other actors were crazily adding scenes for themselves, but you were afraid of having too many scenes.
Well, Yu Dong didn't even think about it. Shen Xiuhan was also the director. Wouldn't it be easy for him to add scenes for himself?
However, whether he wanted to add more scenes or not, he would choose from the perspective of the movie. Of course, he would not add them for personal reasons.
"Right, there are four female characters in the movie. Who are you going to find?"”
Shen Xiuhan knocked on the table and thought for a moment before saying,"Out of the four female characters, only the machine gunner Tong Li and the reporter Xia Nan have more scenes. I plan to get Zhou Dongyu for the role of Tong Li, and I'll take a look at the reporter Xia Nan.”
"As for the female drone pilot and the rescued Deng Mei, you can choose two big actresses to guest star.”
Hearing this, Yu Dong heaved a sigh of relief. Shen Xiuhan and Zhou Dongyu working together again was a pretty good selling point.
Moreover, the two big name female celebrities could also be considered a small selling point.
Yes, although it was just a cameo!
The fourth chapter might be very late, so I'll read it tomorrow morning.
