The star who is too difficult to get out of the village

Chapter 97 It's Not Easy to Find Investments (Please Order Tickets)
The three-day trip to Hangzhou passed quickly.

Qi Lan didn't stay at home too long, but went back to the tobacco market with Yang Jie to continue filming "Longing for Life".

Only a week after he came back, Yang Jie kicked out the script of "Legend of the White Snake".

The reason why he was in such a hurry was because the system, which had been quiet for a long time, came out to send him a task.

Series of tasks: to reproduce the classic.

Requirements: Prepare the preparatory work for the filming of "The Legend of the White Lady" within three months, and participate in the filming in person.

Failure penalty after acceptance: one month of free time will be deducted.

Reward after accepting: Master of popular singing skills, 25 days of free time.

Side task: always strive for the first place, and win the ratings champion in the same time period three days after the broadcast.

Penalty: None.

Reward: Five days of free time, the size of the village is doubled.

Yang Jie took both tasks.Recreating classics is what he originally wanted to do, and he thinks this task is not difficult. With his current fame, he should be able to find investment.

But the fact is that things backfired, not because he thinks the script is good, but everyone must think so.

Yang Jie still overestimated his own brand.

Speaking of it, he himself knows that he has a world of cultural resources that is awesome, but others don't know.

In the eyes of others, Yang Jie is a genius, that's right, he also has works that can be sold.

But relying on these alone does not make people so trustworthy.

"Longing for Life" is a variety show, even if it is a big hit, and Yang Jie is the planner, but it does not represent his level of screenwriting.

Apart from "Longing", only "Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" and two "Love Apartment" can represent Yang Jie's screenwriting level.

Let me talk about "Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" being released for nine days, and took in a box office of [-] million. Although it is a big profit for investment, the box office has already started to decline seriously, and it will get two points when it is finally released. Five hundred million is not bad.

Considering the current number of theaters in China, it is not uncommon for a film with such a small investment to achieve this box office, but not none.

The first part of "Love Apartment" is a webcast, and it is undeniably very popular. Even the second part's ratings on Beijing Satellite TV have reached a high of 2.0%, but only this one is popular, and it does not represent the next one. The drama can also become popular.

The most indispensable thing in the entertainment industry is to become famous in one battle and then disappear from everyone.There are countless directors and screenwriters who became famous by relying on a drama, and then made bad movies.

Although Yang Jie's level of storytelling is very high, it is still the same sentence that the entertainment industry must use works to speak.

If "Swordsman", which is currently being filmed, can become popular, Yang Jie, who has two popular dramas, is still a little convincing, but not yet.

The result was that Yang Jie pitched the script to many film and television companies, some of them politely replied that they would have to hold a meeting to discuss it before making a decision, and some directly expressed that they were not interested.

He said that he had to consider it, but he didn't believe it for a week. Yang Jie knew that there should be no results.

"Xiaojie, don't be discouraged, such things will always happen." Looking at Yang Jie's depressed look, He Quan comforted him: "No one will have smooth sailing in his life. Your current development is already at the speed of taking off. You You must know that others want to get returns when they invest in you, and if they are not optimistic, they will not invest money for no reason."

"It can be rewarded. If this drama is filmed, I'm sure it will make a lot of money!" Yang Jie replied.

"The problem is that other people don't think so now. If you are the only one who thinks so, then you can only invest yourself." Huang Sen said.

"I don't have so much money, don't I? And if I invest by myself, the subsequent things are too troublesome. Submitting for review, finding the satellite TV to broadcast, inviting people to watch the film, etc. are too time-consuming, and I am not interested .” Yang Jie frowned.

He just wanted to take pictures to complete the tasks of the system to expand the scope of his free activities, and then just wait for the money.Don't plan to do other things by yourself, after all, there is a real time cost for him, these things are a waste of free time, not to mention the trouble.

"Brother Jie, I still have some money here, why don't you use it first?" Qi Lan said.

"No, you keep your own money." Yang Jie said.

Qi Lan has taken on two films since her debut. When she was filming the first film, she was a fledgling with no reputation and very little salary.That is to say, I made some money from filming "Love Apartment" and "Longing for Life", but not much.It's a drop in the bucket for filming mythological dramas.

In fact, Yang Jie also has millions of dollars in his hands, which is more than enough to make a low-budget movie, but it is useless at all for mythological dramas that must have special effects.

"Xiaojie, haven't you pitched scripts for Huabang Film and Television and Wuxia Culture Film and Television that you have worked with before? You have worked together before, and they know your level. It should be easier to cooperate again?" Huang Sen asked.

"I have voted. Director Xu said he is only interested in martial arts dramas. Other genres are not considered." Yang Jie said.

"What about Winbond Films? They're not interested either?"

"It should be. I talked to Mr. Han on the phone the other day, and he said that he would hold a meeting to discuss it. But there is no letter yet. It should be enough." Yang Jie shook his head and said.

Hearing what Yang Jie said, Huang Sen reminded: "Little Jie, you are wrong. Now you are looking for investment, you are begging for help, not someone else begging you, how can you wait for the investor to call you? You should It is only right to actively ask for the result.”

"Mr. Huang is right, when your "White Snake" and "Swordsman" are both successful, and after you have established your reputation, then they will beg you in turn if you have a script, and you don't need to submit it at all. , when the stability of fame increases, the capital of smell will automatically come to the door." He Quan also agrees with Huang Sen's statement.

These words made Yang Jie wake up.Although he is usually relatively modest, in the final analysis, he still has a sense of superiority in his heart.Thinking that it was his own strength, it should be others who begged him.But the fact is not the case.This does not teach him to be a human being because of social reality.

At this time, Yang Jie also understood, and immediately said: "I will call Mr. Han again to ask, if it works, I will do it, if it doesn't work, I will find someone else. invest!"

After speaking, Yang Jie took out his phone and called Han Yongxiang's number. After a few rings, the other side was connected.

"Hey, what's the matter, Xiaojie?" Han Yongxiang asked.

"Mr. Han, have you studied the script I showed you last week, and are you interested in investing?" Yang Jie asked straightforwardly.

In fact, after seeing Yang Jie's call, Han Yongxiang knew what he was going to ask, but their company's attitude towards this drama is twofold.

After research and discussion, the party represented by Han Yongxiang's eldest brother Han Yongnian felt that the show was not interesting and a bit messy, and they didn't want to accept it.

The other party is represented by Han Yongxiang. Although they don't think this drama can make money, they feel that Yang Jie has great potential and is worth investing in to build a good relationship. Even if this drama is unsuccessful, as long as they can keep their capital or even make a small loss, they will be fine. acceptable.After all, Yang Jie's talent in both singing and screenwriting is worthy of recognition.Even if they lose money, it's no big deal to treat the two "Love Apartment" as not making money.

Once the relationship is established, Yang Jie will never forget them, who are the helpers in need, no matter what good script he has in the future!
In the end, the result of the discussion between the two factions was that they failed to convince each other, so they shelved it.

"Xiaojie, you said that you have time to write more "Love Apartment"? It's okay to write martial arts scripts. We will invest in these two types and actively seek cooperation. Why did you suddenly write a script? It's a mythological drama, and it's also a mythological love drama." Han Yongxiang said.

"The script of "Love Apartment" is easy to say. After digesting the second part for a while, I can write it at any time. It is very easy. As for "Legend of White Snake", I came up with it when I went to Hangzhou West Lake for fun. I think it is good. , I will write a script when I come back.”

Then Yang Jie continued: "What's wrong with mythological dramas? We have so many folklore, haven't they all been handed down, and if they can be handed down, it means that there is a market. If it is filmed, someone will like to watch it."

Hearing Yang Jie's words, Han Yongxiang said speechlessly: "Xiaojie, don't you know that the dramas that have been filmed in recent years have basically hit the street?"

"But I have confidence in my drama, and the investment will never be lost!"

"Others thought the same way when they were filming. It might be up to the market to decide if they can't be compensated."

"I really can't afford it. Mr. Han, look at me, starting from my debut, from songs to scripts to commercials, even the projects in traditional conferences. Is there any work that I participated in that failed?" Yang Jie said.

"To tell you the truth, Xiaojie, if you were just a fairy tale drama, I would still be able to persuade other people to participate in the investment, but you are mainly about the indecent love between humans and demons, and the audience's acceptance is not high. Right? Why don't you just forget about it." Han Yongxiang persuaded.

"Why is the acceptance rate not high? Haven't you read the script I wrote? Don't you laugh and cry when you read it? If there is, it means it can be fascinating. If you can get people into it, it will be attractive." Yang Jie continued.

"It's only after reading the script that I feel that it's not very good. I feel that many parts of the plot are not meaningful. It's just that some dialogues are very stiff, as if some words are missing."

"It was missing in the first place. I left it there on purpose. It's a secret weapon."

Yang Jie knew what Han Yongxiang was talking about.For those parts that need to be sung, Yang Jie didn't write the lyrics into the script.

"can not say?"

"I can say it, Mr. Han, you feel that the missing words are all words sung in the form of duet."

"Sing? Can this work?"

"It will definitely work, Mr. Han, let me tell you seriously, this drama is really a drama that can turn into an empty market for everyone. If you don't invest, you will really lose money." Yang Jie continued to add: " How about this, Mr. Han, you know my level of screenwriting. As long as you can spend 2000 million this time, if you lose money, I will help you write a few scripts to earn back. How about getting back the money?"

"Really?" Han Yongxiang has always been optimistic about Yang Jie, and he doesn't take what he said as a lie. With Yang Jie's ability to make money, if the firepower is fully fired, the money will be earned back in a short time. up.

"Of course it's true, you won't regret what you say!" Yang Jie said firmly.

"Then let me try my best to talk about it, you wait for my news!" Han Yongxiang finally asked: "Xiaojie, haven't you roughly estimated how much investment this drama needs?"

"At least 4000 million to 5000 million. The floating point is the actor's remuneration. I can invest 1000 million myself." Yang Jie has already calculated the approximate cost.

"Okay then, just wait, I'll give you news within three days."

"it is good!"

After chatting, Yang Jie hung up the phone, said everything that should be said, just wait!
