This director only makes bad movies

Chapter 24



Xu Nan smiled after receiving Jiang Yu's call.

This video platform is also very good at adapting to the situation. When the movie was involved in plagiarism controversy before, they did not make a call.

Now that the court trial is over and everything is finalized, I immediately called him.

Xu Nan's reaction was also very quick and he said immediately.

"There is absolutely no problem in releasing it early. The more money you give, the earlier the movie will be released."

Jiang Yu immediately said: "Then let's find a place to chat. I remember there is a good cafe near your company."

More than an hour later, Jiang Yu and Xu Nan sat in a quiet cafe together.

Obviously, this time Jiang Yu was authorized by his superiors, and he felt much more confident when he spoke.

"It will be released tomorrow, and the buyout price is 14 million."

Xu Nan raised his eyebrows.

Not bad, not bad. The price has increased by a full six million compared to last time, which has basically reached his psychological bottom line.

However, this price is certainly not the final price and there is still room for negotiation.

The Penguin Group is famous for its wealth, and it can make him feel full just by pulling out a hair.

Back then, they paid a whopping 100 million for the online broadcast rights of a TV series starring an A-list star.

Xu Nan pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "Mr. Jiang, this price is too insincere. Our movie has just won the lawsuit, and the Internet popularity has suppressed Zhang Yange's "Along the River During the Qingming Festival"."

"That's Zhang Yange, a big production with a cost of 100 million."

Jiang Yu said calmly: "But the single-day box office of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" is still lower than that of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival," right?"

Xu Nan emphasized: "But our online popularity is higher than that of "Along the River During Qingming Festival". As long as it is launched on the video platform, it will definitely attract many people to watch it."

Jiang Yu shook his head: "What you said is only an estimate. No one can guarantee that "Along the River on a Sunny Day" will still be popular after it is released. It is 14 million. Our company also took a big risk."

Next, Xu Nan and Jiang Yu exchanged words. In the end, Jiang Yu bought out the online broadcast rights of "Along the River on a Qingming Festival" and "Song of Youth" for 16 million.

"Song of Youth" is a movie that Xu Nan's father spent 30 million to make, but was forced to be released after only five days in theaters.

The film was used by Xu Nan and sold to Jiang Yu as a supplement, in exchange for valuable funds for the company's subsequent development.

After the two parties had almost reached an agreement, they quickly signed a contract.

Jiang Yu was anxiously waiting for the movie to be released to see the effect, and Xu Nan was also anxiously waiting for the money to come over, and the two parties hit it off immediately.

After the contract was signed, the two parties parted politely, and Xu Nan returned to the company proudly with the contract.

The cost of 200,000 yuan was exchanged for a return of 16 million yuan, a return rate of eighty times.

Who else?

Just ask who else?

And this is only the income from online broadcast rights, and the tens of millions of movie box office share revenue has not yet come down.

The proud Xu Nan opened the door of the company.

"Lao Liu, come out for a meeting. We need to discuss the company's next development plan."

"Brother, you must consider others carefully."

A delicate voice came from Liu Yang's room.

Damn it!

Xu Nan opened his eyes wide and opened Liu Yang's door decisively.

Unfortunately, nothing.

Liu Yang lay on his side on the bed, smiling silly at his phone. The charging cable at the end of the phone was connected to the socket on the bedside.

Xu Nan was a little disappointed and went over to kick Liu Yang.

"Old Liu, we're having a meeting about the company's next development plan."

"Okay, come right away."

Liu Yang stood up suddenly and unplugged the charging cable.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Nan secretly glanced at Liu Yang's mobile phone screen.

The screen is black and I can't see anything.

There must be something wrong, otherwise why would the screen be black.

In the living room, Xu Nan showed Liu Yang the contract he had just signed with Penguin.

The key point was the buyout price of 16 million. Liu Yang's eyes hovered over that attractive number for a long time.

He had mixed feelings in his heart.

More than a month ago, Summit Films was still on the verge of bankruptcy.

Unexpectedly, in just one month, the company came back to life by shooting a new movie and made a lot of money.

All of this is the result of that trashy movie.

That such a trashy movie could actually make money, and that it could make so much money, simply subverted his outlook on life.

How did the world become like this?

Xu Nan took away the contract and patted Liu Yang on the shoulder.

"Lao Liu, I have always seen your contribution. Don't worry, I won't treat you badly."

"Multiply the basic salary by three, and I will give you a bonus when Penguin's money arrives. Furthermore, I have decided to promote you to the director of the company, specifically responsible for shooting movies."

Liu Yang couldn't help but grin, and every pore in his body was filled with joy.

It was a really good movie, and I got a promotion and a raise.

But soon, he noticed the important information revealed in Xu Nan's words.

"Shall I be the director?"

"Yes, you will be the director."

"Can I?" Liu Yang was a little worried.

Being a director is not that easy, and managing a crew is not that simple either.

Xu Nan smiled: "Don't worry, no problem. I will be the producer to help you with the first movie, and I will help you think about whatever movie you want to make."

With that said, Xu Nan took out the script that had been bound for a long time from his room.

This was already prepared.

Liu Yang took the script and looked at the name of the movie first.

"Taoist Bian Shan."

This name looks inexplicably familiar.

Liu Yang felt like he had heard it somewhere.

He decisively took out his mobile phone and searched online. Soon, he found the information he wanted.

"The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" directed by Chen Pengfei is about to be released, with many A-list stars joining the cast, and the cost is 150 million.

Sure enough, Mr. Xu still had the same routine.

After flipping through the script, it was also a routine plot. A Taoist priest from Bian Mountain suffered a Japanese invasion because the village down the mountain suffered a Japanese invasion, so after a psychological struggle, he went down the mountain to fight against the Japanese.

The key is the cost, two hundred thousand.

Liu Yang couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Mr. Xu, is the cost a little low? The cost of the last movie was said to be 200,000, but in fact it ended up costing more than 200,000."

Xu Nan smiled: "I know there are certain difficulties, but this difficulty can be overcome. The cost of the last film exceeded the budget, mainly because we were not familiar with the shooting process and spent some unjust money."

"This is our second time making a movie. As long as we calculate it in advance, it's not difficult to shoot it for 200,000 yuan."

"Moreover, we have to sum up our experience based on the filming of the movie. In the future, I hope to be able to complete a movie in only seven days, from project establishment to shooting and finally to release."

"Seven days!" Liu Yang was stunned.
