Super Resort Tycoon

Chapter 90 Interview
Because he was going to receive Xu Qinghai tomorrow, Li Yang stayed at the construction site for a while, called Wangcai back, and drove back to Chengdu. On the way back, Li Yang called Jigu Ayi and asked Heitan, Doug , Tangerine, and Oscar have guests booked to sleep with them.

"There is no reservation, Brother Yang, what's the matter?" Jigu Ayi said.

"These four cats don't accept any reservations tonight. After the coffee shop is closed tonight, you can bring the four of them to my house!" Li Yang said.

"Okay Brother Yang!"

The next afternoon, Xu Qinghai came to Youmao Inn as scheduled. Xu Qinghai was not tall and looked very ordinary. He wore thick glasses, a sweater on his upper body, jeans on his lower body, sports shoes on his feet, and a Wearing a backpack.

If he hadn't introduced himself as Xu Qinghai, Li Yang couldn't believe that the person in front of him was the director on the phone yesterday, no matter how he looked, he looked like a programmer.

On the contrary, another man who followed him was very similar to the director. He was dressed very hip-hop, had long hair in a pigtail, and besides that, there was a man and a woman walking with them.

After Xu Qinghai's introduction, Li Yang also knew that the man with the pigtails was the assistant director Archie, and the other man and woman were pet trainer Zhou Kai and female screenwriter Jiang Lai.

Because the cat is the real protagonist in this movie, so the whole crew attaches great importance to the choice of cats, so so many people came, and pet actors are not like humans, just audition to see their acting skills, pets are filming The process requires the cooperation of professional pet trainers. They also need to get in touch with pets to feel their personalities, see if they are easier to control, evaluate the difficulty of shooting, and so on.

"Your business here is really hot!" Xu Qinghai said with a smile, looked at the cats in the hall, and couldn't help being a little surprised, "Why didn't you see Heitan and Doug?"

"They are at my place, because I thought it would be inconvenient to have customers in the store during the day, so I took them home last night!" Li Yang said.

"Oh, then let's go to your house to chat!" Xu Qinghai also understood.

The four of them followed Li Yang to his residence. As soon as they entered the house, Wangcai called out vigilantly. Li Yang hurriedly stopped him, and then locked Wangcai into the guest room.

"Yes, just these four little guys?" Xu Qinghai saw the four cats playing in the room at a glance, and smiled. He has repeatedly studied all the Douyin videos of Li Yang in the past two days, and he can recognize them at a glance. Out of these four cats.

"Well, the appearance is very similar!" The screenwriter Jiang Lai's eyes lit up. From the appearance alone, the four cats are very similar to the four characters in the movie.

"Meow, meow——" seeing Xu Qinghai and the others, not only were the cats not afraid to run away, but they came over one after another, meowing, and even the orange ran to Xu Qinghai's feet without morals, rubbing and rubbing .

"Pretty good!" The trainer Zhou Kai squatted down, reached out and scratched Oscar's little head, and Oscar didn't admit it.

Seeing these four friendly and cute cats, Xu Qinghai and the others instantly became cat-sucking customers, holding a cat in their arms and stroking non-stop. Li Yang really doubted whether they were here to choose a role, or to suck cats for free .

Li Yang came over and gave them a detailed introduction to the characters of the four guys: "Especially this orange cat, as long as there is food, he can do whatever he wants, a guy who has no morals at all, I will show it to you, and you will knew!"

Li Yang showed Xu Qinghai and the others the specialties of the four cats one after another, making Xu Qinghai and the others smile and happy.

"How do you feel about them?" the assistant director named Archie asked.

"Very good! Director Xu also showed me the video yesterday. These little guys are really smart, and Boss Li has also trained them a lot, so they are relatively easy to control, at least compared to the ones we have seen before. Those cats are easy!"

"Where's Jiang Lai?" Xu Qinghai looked at Jiang Lai.

"I'm sure there's nothing wrong with me here. The image and temperament of these guys are very suitable for the characters!" Jiang Lai smiled slightly.

"In that case, let's decide on these four little guys!" Xu Qinghai said, in fact, he has gone through a lot of things in order to choose the cat role at this stage.

I have seen dozens of cats before and after, but none of them are particularly satisfactory.

In the film and television industry, there are three most difficult scenes to shoot, one is water scenes, one is children's scenes, and the other is animal scenes.

The cat scene is even more difficult. After all, cats are relatively difficult to control, so in order to make it easier to shoot, and to better present a real and perfect effect, he is still very strict in the selection of cats.

"Okay, it's ok if you think there is no problem!" Everyone gave Xu Qinghai a positive look.

Xu Qinghai introduced the plot of the movie to Li Yang, and then talked in detail about the cat's appearance fee, as well as the follow-up shooting and cooperation.

This time the film is adapted from a certain novel, and it has a fan base. The box office is estimated to be more than 5000 million. However, according to the original budget plan of the crew, the appearance fee of a cat is at most 20.

But considering that Li Yang's cat itself is an Internet celebrity cat, with tens of millions of fans and traffic on the whole network, and it has just attended the Happy Big Board Camp, this will be of great help and guarantee for the film's later promotion and box office.

Moreover, the cat itself has undergone special training, which will be of great help to the shooting and overall presentation, which can greatly save manpower and material resources, and even shorten the shooting cycle by half.

So after the final negotiation, Xu Qinghai finally negotiated this cooperation with Li Yang at a total price of 300 million yuan, including the appearance fee of the four cats, and the post-promotion cooperation of the movie.

Although Li Yang didn't know how to set the price for this item, the price met his expectations, and it was a win-win situation. If the cat's participation in the movie was successful, then the value would definitely double in the future. Advertising cooperation There should be no shortage of cooperation with film and television.

"Okay, I can accept this price! When will you start shooting? How long will the shooting be? I need to make arrangements in advance!" Li Yang asked.

"If it's decided today, we should start shooting next week, and the story about cats will take about two months to film!" Xu Qinghai said.

"Okay, the contract..."

"Well, let's not leave today. I will ask the legal officer to send the contract tonight. After you confirm that it is correct, we will sign the contract and the money will be called to you immediately. We will also take the cat away this time. What do you think? ?” Xu Qinghai said.

"Yes, but the safety of cats, I hope I can get absolute protection!" Li Yang also expressed his concerns. This kind of cooperation requires each other to be honest and open. A happy ending.

"Don't worry about this. We care more about the safety of cats than you. We will equip them with specialized veterinarians and nutritionists to ensure their health. After all, we don't want them to have any problems. , If half of the filming is completed, any cat cannot be featured, which will be a huge waste and a blow to our initial investment, you say yes! And we will also draft compensation clauses in our contract, you can definitely rest assured!"

"Okay, then follow your procedure!" Li Yang smiled.
