"It doesn't matter if it's popular or not. It's fine as long as the aunties take care of it.”Lu Yan said calmly.
"Who was the one who said that he didn't want to live off a woman?" Yang Mi snorted.”
"Who said that relying on a rich auntie is living off a woman?" Lu Yan quickly explained.”
"Auntie will pay, and the young hunks will do their best. We earned our hard-earned money through physical strength.”
"He has put in a lot of physical labor and is not living off a woman.”
"You know how to talk nonsense." Liu Tianxian covered her mouth and laughed.”
Yang Mi suddenly slapped 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. You were the one who said that we'll talk about it in the future."
"Then I can't say it now." It's a few days ago now."
Yang Mi lifted her high heels and stepped on his foot lightly.
"Stop the car and show me your driver's license! I'm serious."
"You asked me to sign the gambling agreement with Zeng Jia and Zhao Ruo. The total box office earnings of the five movies exceeded 4 billion, and they had to guarantee a profit of close to 1 billion.”
"Are you dreaming? The box office earnings of a movie were split 30 - 30.”
"That is to say, after a movie is released, one-third of the total box office earnings can be returned to the film company.”
"One-third of the total profit minus the cost is the net profit. Let's make it 200 million for each movie production, publicity, and other expenses.”
"Five movies would cost 1 billion, and there would be 1 billion in net profit. That's five movies, and we'll get two billion.”
"If that's the case, the box office sales will need 6 billion! Your suggestion is contradictory. 4 billion is not enough!”
Yang Mi took a sip of water.
"Of course, I'm exaggerating. Under ideal circumstances, some movies might only cost more than 100 million yuan, or even less.”
"Control the cost well, and the total box office sales will not be much different from the 4 billion you said.”
"Let's do it according to the 4 billion you said. Five movies earned 4 billion yuan at the box office, with an average of 800 million yuan per movie.”
"800 million! What kind of concept was that? A money-printing machine might not even be able to print 800 million yuan a month.”
"This is your only way out of this situation. I'm 100% sure."”
"You definitely won't believe me now. I can take out a script first, and the three of us can invest in it.”
"Don't go through Jiaxing Media. The money earned this way is ours.”
Yang Mi originally thought that Lu Yan was making fun of her.
However, Lu Yan's expression was serious and solemn.
There was no teasing at all.
"There really is a script? Send it to us."
Lu Yan retrieved the script for " Charlotte's Worries " from the System Store.
The reason why he chose this script.
It was because this movie was a comedy.
There were no fighting scenes and no special effects.
There were no planes, tanks, racing cars…
The difficulty of filming was very low, and the filming period was short.
Moreover, comedy had always been a money-making tool in the domestic film industry, and it was exceptionally strong.
Moreover, Charlotte's Worries had achieved a very dazzling box office in his previous life.
In this world where entertainment was scarce, it was a blow to the world.
There wasn't much content in the script.
The main point was that the male lead, Charlotte, was a lazy good-for-nothing.
His own ability was not good, but he still wanted to save face.
When he attended his female classmate Qiu Ya's wedding, he accidentally transmigrated to his student days.
A series of funny things happened.
The movie script was not thick, only a few dozen pages.
Yang Mi and Liu Tianxian were both veteran actors, so they read the script very quickly.
They ate and drank while reading the script. They finished reading it in an hour.
During the process, the two aunties laughed non-stop.
The real auntie laughed!
Yang Mi clutched her chest, laughing so hard that she was almost out of breath.
"Isn't this too funny? Just looking at the script made me laugh half to death.”
"I've never seen such an interesting script. It feels much more interesting than Lost in Thailand.”
"If we find a big name comedy actor to act in it, we might really be able to get good box office results. I'm voting for this project!”
" It's indeed funny," Liu Tianxian agreed." The ending was also very touching. Who do you plan to cast?"
"Shen Teng," Lu Yan replied without hesitation.”
In his previous life, Shen Teng was not very famous when he starred in " Charlotte's Worries."
It had no box office appeal at all.
Even so, when the movie market was not that crazy, it still managed to earn more than a billion yuan at the box office.
The economic level of this world was not worse than in his previous life.
Shen Teng was already a famous superstar and had his own box office appeal.
Even if the movie market was in a slump.
Lu Yan was also confident that once this blockbuster comedy was released, breaking the box office record of Lost in Thailand was just the beginning.
Yang Mi pondered for a while.
"Shen Teng is indeed quite suitable. I know him, so I should be able to invite him.”
"According to my experience, the pay of the actors, the production cost, and the publicity fee for this comedy should be about 120 million.”
"If you want to increase publicity, you won't need 150 million at most.”
Actors were paid relatively little for making movies.
Many popular celebrities would ask for 100 million yuan for TV dramas.
However, for a movie, their offer might be halved, or even reduced to 10 to 20 million.
This was because the movie required the audience to go to the cinema with real money to buy tickets.
TV dramas could be put on the Internet or broadcast on TV stations to earn advertising fees and traffic fees.
And the bulk of the movie's revenue was the box office.
Once the box office sales failed, they would suffer a terrible loss.
If the risk was too high, the pay would naturally be lowered.
Those big shots with super box office appeal.
Their movies were basically stable, but the asking price was not too high.
Because they were no longer satisfied with the pay.
The box office bonus was the most important.
Therefore, the estimated cost of " Charlotte's Troubles " was capped at 150 million.
