Yue Guan basically reached a gentleman's agreement with Chen Kaige.
The script of "Search" was given to Brother Chen Kai. Fei Yueguan did not want the script, but asked for 10% of the box office share.
The asking price was a bit high, but Chen Kaige didn't hesitate.
If Yue Guan's script is sold, it will definitely fetch a sky-high price.
Chen Kaige hopes that Yue Guan's box office share will be as large as possible, which proves that his movies will also have higher box office.
As for investment, Yue Guan told Chen Kaige that there is basically no need for investment in this drama.
Because the script is set in a small town in the south, Yue Guan contacted some cities before, and Yongcheng expressed its willingness to sponsor the film in full.
In exchange, the movie should try its best to show the scenery of Yongcheng and attract outsiders to visit Yongcheng.
There's nothing wrong with that, of course.
After learning these things, Chen Kaige felt very complicated.
"So for this movie I just had to pick up something already available?"
"Of course not. You have to coordinate the operation of the crew, and you have to choose the cast. I will choose a heroine, and it must be Qin Lan."
"Qin Lan? Isn't she a little famous?" Chen Hong interrupted.
More than a little small.
Qin Lan has not had a single masterpiece in the film industry. Looking at the entire entertainment industry, she is now a completely outdated actress.
Expecting her to carry the box office is non-existent.
Yue Guan smiled and emphasized: "The heroine must be Qin Lan, there is no need to negotiate."
Chen Kaige and Chen Hong understood.
Both of them are smart people and no longer dwell on this issue. Chen Kaige even smiled and said: "Yue Guan, is the Game of Thrones you are working on about to be released?"
"It's almost time. The post-production has come to an end. It should be on CCTV in a while."
"Qin Lan plays your wife in "Game of Thrones". This drama is an instant hit. By the time it is released next year, Qin Lan will definitely be much more popular than now."
Who said Mr. Kai can't speak
Yue Guan definitely gives him a thumbs up for this emotional intelligence.
It's really like what Huang Bo said, when you become famous, the people around you will all be good people, and they will be particularly friendly to you.
The entertainment industry is really a warm place.
Chen Kaige gave such face, and Yue Guan certainly wanted to reciprocate the favor: "I borrow the words of Director Chen, but I do have confidence that Qin Lan will definitely become popular after "Game of Thrones" is aired."
Bai Yueguang's character is so suitable for Qin Lan's temperament.
But it’s not realistic to really want to become famous.
Qin Lan's age is destined to make it impossible for her to become popular at the level of Si Xiaohua Dan.
Yue Guan only finalized the role of Qin Lan, leaving Chen Kaige to find the other roles by himself. Chen Kaige was relatively satisfied, as this did not exceed his bottom line.
In fact, he was prepared for Yue Guan to be involved in most of the cast selections.
However, Miracle Company didn't have any signed artists, and the female characters in "Search" weren't considered positive, so Yue Guan didn't consider a few of his confidante.
Let Chen Kaige choose.
It doesn’t matter anyway.
His purpose has been achieved.
After settling Qin Lan, I also booked a Golden Dragon Award-winning actor for next year. Although the actor has not yet been decided and the script is not yet available, that is not important.
Anyway, there is still plenty of time.
Yue Guan sent Chen Kaige and his wife away enthusiastically.
After Chen Kaige and his wife got into their car, they were also very moved by Yue Guan's behavior.
Chen Hong shook his head and said: "You are so young. He didn't sign any agreement with us, so he just gave us the script of "Search". Although you promised him a Golden Dragon Award for Best Actor next year, I'm afraid it's really... I didn’t expect anything during the continuous shooting. If he can’t shoot it by then, wouldn’t this promise be invalidated?”
"Do you think his behavior is childish?" Chen Kaige asked.
"I can't call it naive. I'm just too inexperienced. If I were him, I would definitely get greater benefits for myself and there would be no need to take such risks." Chen Hong said.
"So you're not him."
Chen Kaige's structure and height are still better than Chen Hong's. He can understand Yue Guan better: "Because Yue Guan is so grand, I am more optimistic about him."
"Why?"
"Behind the atmosphere is confidence. If he didn't have absolute confidence, he wouldn't be so free and easy."
"A lot of people are very confident, but they end up failing."
"But Yue Guan has not failed yet." Chen Kaige said lightly: "You don't understand, literary and artistic workers like us have a kind of spirit in our hearts. As long as that spirit is there, we will always have hope and can create. We will produce great works. But if that energy is gone, our era may have passed. We may still be able to make more money, but when the peak is over, it is over.”
Chen Kaige felt this and thought of himself.
In the past, he also had the kind of spirit that he would give up on others.
However, the reality was delayed and the continuous failures prevented him from being as high-spirited as before.
That's why he had to place his hope in Yue Guan's script.
Seeing Yue Guan, he seemed to see himself thirty years ago.
"This young man Yue Guan has a bright future. Next time you see Yue Guan, remember to bring Fei Yu with you so that Fei Yu can have more contact with him. Always under the protection of our two wings, Fei Yu will not grow up. of."
Chen Feiyu, the son of Chen Kaige and Chen Hong, wants to debut as a star. To be honest, this choice is not very understandable. After all, his father is Chen Kaige, so Chen Feiyu, who is a popular star, will lose his status if he leaves. But if he wants to be a successful actor, his professional strength is not up to it. Just because you have better acting skills than a popular star doesn't mean you can rely on your acting skills to make a career.
This situation of neither getting better nor worse made Chen Feiyu very embarrassed.
Chen Kaige and his wife are very dedicated to praising their son, but if they want to become popular, relying on praise is not enough.
It requires five points of hard power and five points of luck.
At present, Chen Feiyu owes a little.
So last time Chen Kaige and his wife wanted to send their son to Miracle Company and use Miracle Company's resources to support their son. It didn't matter if they suffered a small loss in money. They were not short of money anyway, so they just needed to become popular first.
It's a pity that Yue Guan didn't agree, and both of them were very sorry.
Hearing Chen Kaige relent, Chen Hong's face lit up: "I wanted to bring Feiyu with me this time, but you didn't let me, so why are you relenting now?"
"We have never met Yue Guan before and don't know his temperament. We only know that he is very domineering and strong according to industry rumors. Fei Yu is also a young man. If they have a conflict, it will not end well." Chen Kaige considered it very comprehensively: "After meeting Yue Guan today, I realized that being famous is not as good as meeting him. Yue Guan is a very smart young man. He is strong but not overbearing. He does not have too much pride in his talent. Fei Yu also has a good personality. He and Yue Guan There should be no conflict."
I pity the hearts of parents in the world.
With Chen Kaige's current status, there is actually no need to worry about Yue Guan so much.
But for the sake of his son, he was willing to go the extra mile.
Being a parent, as long as you are responsible, is not easy.
