"How much do you need to invest in this movie?”Bai Mu asked.
" The total investment is 30 million," Ning Hao said, a little embarrassed." I paid 10 million myself and pulled in 5 million. I'm still short of half."”
Bai Mu nodded.
In the original world, the total investment for " The Madness of Stones " was only around three million. However, that was because the shooting time was too early, and the actors 'pay was not high, so they saved a lot of money.
But now, just finding a few famous stars to film a movie would cost a few million yuan. Ning Hao was already amazing enough to keep the total investment at 30 million yuan.
"Do you mind showing me the script?" Bai Mu said.
Ning Hao was stunned.
"If the script is okay, maybe I can help you make up for the investment.”Bai Mu laughed.
Ning Hao's eyes lit up. He immediately took out a thick document from his bag and handed it to Bai Mu. He seemed a little embarrassed."In order to find investments, I always carry scripts with me.”
Bai Mu didn't have the intention to make fun of him. Instead, he started to read the script seriously.
It took half an hour, but Ning Hao wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he hoped that Bai Mu could watch as long as possible.
Because the more Bai Mu was engrossed in the script, the more he approved of it, and the higher the chances of getting an investment.
Finally, Bai Mu put down the script and looked at Ning Hao.""This script is not bad."
" Then…" Ning Hao said carefully.
"I'll make up for the remaining 15 million.”Bai Mu said straightforwardly.
"Really?" Ning Hao was ecstatic. He didn't expect that Bai Mu would be able to gather all the investments that he couldn't get from the company's CEO.
" Of course," Bai Mu smiled," but I have a request."”
"Tell me." Ning Hao said.
Ning Hao could accept any investor as long as the conditions weren't too excessive.
After all, in this era, money was the boss!
"I need to appoint Black Panther as the actor.”Bai Mu said.
Black Panther was one of the main characters in " Madness of the Stone ", and his scenes were relatively heavy.
Ning Hao frowned and hesitated.
He had high hopes for this movie, so he would strive for perfection in every aspect.
However, if the actor Bai Mu appointed was a noob with no acting skills, then it would undoubtedly have a huge impact on the entire movie.
"Don't worry, the person I'm looking for will definitely have good acting skills and a natural talent for comedy.”Bai Mu said.
"Oh? Who is it?" Ning Hao became curious after hearing Bai Mu's words.
"Huang Bo." Bai Mu laughed.
"I don't think I've heard of it." Ning Hao frowned and thought for a moment.
"He's indeed not very famous. He's only an 18-line minor character at the moment. No company is even willing to sign him.”Bai Mu said.
" This..." Ning Hao was a little confused. He even thought that Bai Mu was joking with him.
" Don't worry, when you see him, you will believe that he can play Black Panther well," Bai Mu said." Some people are just missing an opportunity. When the opportunity comes, a carp can also transform into a dragon."”
Bai Mu recommended Huang Bo because he wanted to start a studio in the future. He wanted to promote Huang Bo before he made a name for himself, so it would be much easier to sign him into his own studio.
The other reason was that Bai Mu was really optimistic about Huang Bo. If Huang Bo played Black Panther in " Madness of the Stone ", then with his innate comedy talent, he would definitely be able to sold well the box office.
Bai Mu had invested half of the movie, which meant that Bai Mu would get half of the box office earnings after deducting all the costs.
Therefore, the better Huang Bo acted, the higher the box office, and the greater Bai Mu's profits.
Bai Mu recommended Huang Bo to Ning Hao because of the two considerations.
" Alright, I'll contact him then," Ning Hao said after thinking for a while." But if he can't meet my minimum requirements, then…"
"If he can't meet your minimum requirements, then pretend that I never mentioned my request."”
" Okay." Ning Hao was in a good mood when he saw Bai Mu was so easy to talk to." Do you have any other requests?"”
" I don't have any other requests, but I have a small suggestion," Bai Mu said carefully." Can you consider changing the name of this movie?"”
"Name?" Ning Hao felt a little strange.
" That's right." Bai Mu nodded." Actually, this script is very good, but why can't we get any investors? Director Ning, have you thought about this?”
Ning Hao was stunned when he heard that. He subconsciously recalled the time when he was trying to get investors. Every time, the other party would take the script and glance at it casually before directly putting it down and rejecting it.
At that time, he thought that the other party did not like the contents of the script, but now that he thought about it, it was really impossible.
After all, just reading a script would take several hours. It was impossible to know if the content was good or not just by looking at it.
" It's because of the name of the movie…" Ning Hao murmured.
" For a movie, a good name is very important," Bai Mu said." Even if you can't attract the audience with just the name, you can't make the audience lose interest in watching the movie because of the name."”
"The reason why the thief among thieves couldn't get any investments should be because there's a problem with the name.”
" If even the investors lose interest in the name," Ning Hao said," then the audience won't be interested either."”
"But what name should I change it to?”Ning Hao frowned.
"This movie is actually centered around jade, so we can give it a name related to jade.”Bai Mu suggested.
" This is an absurd comedy, so it can be named Crazy," Ning Hao said to himself." The Crazy of Jade?”
"Not good, not good. Jade is a stone after all. It's better to call it the madness of stones!”Ning Hao suddenly slapped his thigh and said.
Bai Mu looked at the excited Ning Hao and couldn't help but sigh. After going around and around, the final name of the movie was still the same as the original world.
After discussing the details of the movie with Ning Hao, the award ceremony was about to begin.
Seeing Ning Hao leave in a hurry, Bai Mu asked," Aren't you going to attend the ceremony?"
" No, I'm here today to attract investors," Ning Hao said cheerfully." Now that I've achieved my goal, I have to rush to get the crew ready."”
Seeing his high spirits, Bai Mu couldn't help but laugh, but he didn't stop him.
After all, Bai Mu was the biggest investor in the movie, and Ning Hao was doing this to help him earn money.
Therefore, the more focused Ning Hao was on filming, the happier Bai Mu was.
