Chapter 576 (1/2)
Li Muji simply agreed to Tenghua Tao's budget of 3 million yuan, and allowed 30% of the overspend space in the actual shooting, which relieved Tenghua Tao. It was enough for him to invest 3 million yuan to make the film with a maximum budget of 3.9 million yuan.
In fact, when nine sabres were used to shoot those years, a total of NT $50 million was prepared, which is about 10 million yuan. That's 10 million yuan in 2011. If the purchasing power is calculated, it's not far from the current 3 million yuan. Moreover, the cost does not include the actor's pay. If the actor's pay is calculated, the total investment of NT $5 million is There must be, so the production cost is already very sufficient.
After confirming the production cost, Li Mu asked Teng Huatao what he wanted for his director's salary. He thought for a long time and asked for a 100000 yuan.
Compared with tenghuatao's current fame, 100000 yuan is neither high nor low. Li Mu's director fee of 500000 yuan to Ninghao is sky high, and 10% of the net profit is even more frightening. There is nothing else. First, he is rich and willful, and second, he simply appreciates Ninghao. To tenghuatao, he generally has no deep feelings about this director, but if he can enter early The state of shooting commercial love movies may be able to make several high box office movies in the future, so Li Mu is willing to sign him in to Muye technology.
We have to sign it as soon as possible. If we really wait for him to finish making those years, I'm afraid his value will go up a lot. So Li Mu immediately said to Teng Huatao, ”well, if you are interested in Muye image, please sign a long contract with us. Starting from this film, the director fee of the first film is 200000 yuan, and then each film will increase by 50% on the basis of the previous one, and I promise to make a movie for you every year. As for your TV series, we won't interfere. You can take it on your own. What do you think? ”
Li Mu suddenly doubled Tenghua Tao's director fee, which immediately shocked Tenghua Tao. However, the most important reason for his ecstasy is not that he doubled the director fee, but that Li Mu is willing to vote for one movie every year.
Generally, the influence of the directors who mainly focus on TV plays in the film circle must be weakened. For the directors who are partial to TV plays like Teng Huatao, it's very good to have the chance to make a big movie in two or three years. Moreover, it's not necessarily a good book or a big production to find their own. However, the ultimate dream of every director is to make a big movie, Because this is the highest level in the field of film and television entertainment. As a director, who doesn't want to have more opportunities to make movies? Moreover, the directors who are a little more famous will almost never take on TV series. Even those who have been in the field of film directors will never go back to making TV series for the simple reason that they can't see it.
Zhang Yimou has never taken over TV series. Although Feng Xiaogang was born in TV series, he has never touched TV series since 1997. All of them take root in the big screen because every director regards film as the ultimate pursuit.
It's the same for Teng Huatao. He also hopes to have more opportunities to make films and become a first-line film director. However, the opportunities are hard to find. At present, Makino image throws olive branches to itself. Facing the strong attraction of a film every year, he almost agrees without hesitation and asks Li Mu, ”President Li, how many years can we sign?”
Teng Huatao wants to sign for as long as possible, but he also understands that Li Mu has a 1.5-fold increase coefficient for his director fee. If he signs for too long, the later director fee will be the sky high price, so Li Mu should not sign with him for too long.
Li Mu thought about it in his mind. With a factor of 1.5 times, the director fee of tenghuatao's first film is 200000, the second 300000, the third 450000, the fourth 675000, the fifth 10125000. If we take inflation into account and his rising reputation, the overall growth is not high or even a little low. But this is also the benefit of signing the contract. At least for now For tenghuatao, the price is very attractive.
So Li Mu said to him, ”well, let's sign five years first. After five years and five movies, if you have a good cooperation, let's set the standard again.”
Teng Huatao immediately said, ”OK! Mr. Li, I signed it! ”
Tenghuatao has heard about Li Mu. Ning Hao also introduced Li Mu's current industry. Behind Muye image, Muye technology serves as a strong backing and support, which is also a great opportunity for him. As a director of movies and TV plays, he has a very sensitive sense of box office, audience rating and coverage. If Muye image is signed, It's equivalent to finding a strong potential user group for future films. If Makino technology uses YY to promote Makino's films, it's almost invincible.
When it comes to YY, Teng Huatao is also amazed at the artifact. Now he is one of the most loyal users of YY and a loyal YY member. Because he has built several working groups in the industry, communication and consultation, talent recruitment, preparation and construction groups can be solved in the group, which is the best choice to improve work efficiency and promote resource integration. Therefore, he also praises YY Fortunately, the signing of Muye image also brought him a strong sense of belonging and platform pride.Li Mu is also in a good mood after chatting with Teng Huatao about the long engagement. He said to Teng Huatao, ”my goal of this movie is to make a masterpiece of love film in Chinese campus. It will become the benchmark and Lighthouse of youth campus film, so that all subsequent films of the same type can't catch up, so you must take more pains to make the purest, most natural and most resonating film Youth love, must not fall into the stereotype. ”
Teng Hua Tao nodded understandably and said earnestly, ”Mr. Li, don't worry, I understand.”
Li Mu smiled and said, ”you don't have to worry about the music of this movie. Both the simple plan and Du Wei will sing a theme song for this movie.”
”They will all give their voices to the movie?” Teng asked happily
