Chapter 904 Completion Guarantee?

Tianmeng and Lingxiao Pavilion have always been at odds. This is a well-known fact in the Huaguo entertainment industry. Of course, Lin Xiao is an actor, and he even made his debut as a singer in the earliest days.

But now, basically few people regard Lin Xiao as an artist or a simple director.

Lin Xiao hasn't received a film for a long time.

At this time, Tianmeng actually sent an invitation to Lin Xiao, and the phone call went directly to Xiao Jie.

He also directly paid the film salary, as for the sincerity, that's okay.

1 million Chinese dollars plus 5.00% of the global box office share seems to be a lot, but in fact, it doesn't even reach 2000 million dollars.

Lin Xiao said unceremoniously that if he really wanted to take a film now, he would at least be 2+1.

Of course, if Lin Xiao really wanted to take it, 2+1 Tianmeng would dare to invite him.

But Tianmeng obviously knew that this invitation was of no use at all, and it was impossible for Lin Xiao to actually help his opponent make a film.

So just like what Xiao Jie said, in fact, as long as this invitation is issued, regardless of whether Lin Xiao accepts it or not, the goal of the Sky Alliance has been achieved.

why?
At that time, Tianmeng can completely hype it. Tianmeng originally wanted to invite Lin Xiao to join, but it failed, Yunyun, this is also a good publicity and hype gimmick, isn't it?
As for Lin Xiao taking it?Not to mention, the Tianmeng will definitely make a big publicity with joy and joy, and it can be said that half of the success has been achieved.

In fact, it is the legendary forced touching of porcelain. Lin Xiao did not encounter this kind of thing once or twice. However, in the past few years, basically few people have done this, because Lin Xiao's identity is different. .

But this kind of thing, like Tianmeng, Lin Xiao has nothing to do here, but this kind of porcelain-touching method seems to be easy to use, but in fact it is just that.

But it seems that the Tianmeng is probably not as confident as imagined.

Just as Xiao Jie finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, and it was Yao Ding who came in.

"Then I'll go out first." Xiao Jie said hello to Yao Ding, and then said with a smile.

"Mr. Xiao, don't leave in a hurry. There is something that you should listen to and give me some advice." Yao Ding kept Xiao Jie.

"That's fine, I'll listen too." Xiao Jie was taken aback when he heard that, and then looked at Yao Ding curiously.

"Tianmeng has made another incident, do you know?" Yao Ding said suddenly.

"What's the matter? You're so interested in Mr. Yao?" Xiao Jie asked curiously.

"Yeah, I'm also curious, what big project does Tianmeng have?" Lin Xiao wondered.

"It seems that you don't know. I also heard from people that Tianmeng has newly established a company, and its main business is to launch a film completion guarantee." Yao Ding said.

"Completion guarantee?" Lin Xiao was really surprised.

The film completion guarantee is actually a third-party certificate. As the name suggests, it refers to the guarantee provided by the guarantor to the investors of a film.

Film completion insurance is a relatively special insurance business.

Everyone knows that the movie itself is very risky, and this risk does not only refer to the performance of the movie after it is released.

There are still problems to be faced, such as whether the screenwriter, director, and actors can effectively display their creativity, whether the film announcement can go smoothly, whether the film can finally recover the investment and make profits, etc.

Among so many risks, the most unbearable for investors and producers is that a film cannot be completed in the end.

If a film cannot be completed and released, it cannot achieve any value.

The film completion guarantee is to guarantee the production risk of the film. As for the investment risk, no one can guarantee it.

Of course, the completion guarantee is not only to guarantee the completion of the film, but also to guarantee many things. For example, during the production process, if the producer is overdue, or the budget is overrun, etc., according to the regulations, the third-party completion guarantee party needs to lose money of.

The guarantor of the completion of the film actually has a lot of power. If the film is overdue, budget overrun, etc., the guarantor will first communicate and read out the producer. If the supervision and communication fail, the insurance company can replace the director. Producers, even replacement actors and more.

Completion guarantee is a very common operation overseas.

Of course, the same fee for the completion guarantee is not low, usually ranging from 5 to 15% of the investment cost of a film!

It also depends on the reputation of the producer.

Of course, the completion guarantee does not exist in China.

That is to say, in this respect, Huaguo is completely blank.

The usual related insurances here in Huaguo are all wrong items, such as work-related injury insurance for actors.

"Are they crazy?" Lin Xiao's reaction was somewhat beyond Yao Ding's expectations.

"Why did Dong Lin say that?" Yao Ding originally wanted to ask whether Ling Xiao Pavilion should get involved in this industry, but he didn't expect Lin Xiao's reaction to be like this.

"No, the completion guarantee is based on the union and insurance business. We don't even have a union. Who do you guarantee? Who is willing to give you money?"

"Film completion guarantee needs to replace the director or producer, actors, etc. when it is determined that the producer cannot complete the film production according to the contract. However, there is no such trade union or industry association in China. When a director is needed, where can he transfer people? ?”

"Besides, which domestic director would be willing to take on this kind of job? You must know that this is an offending job."

"Of course, Tianmeng can use its influence to do so, but the gains outweigh the losses, and in Huaguo, the most critical issue is that the completion guarantee business cannot be carried out." Lin Xiao shook his head.

"Key question?" Yao Ding and Xiao Jie were a little confused.

"It's not that you don't know about Li Honggang and Yang Ning. You want to guarantee the completion of the film, so why do you have to investigate whether the actors on the crew have violated the law?" Lin Xiao asked rhetorically.

"This..." Yao Ding was also stunned.

He only considered it from the perspective of the industry. In fact, it is not a day or two for domestic film companies to study the Hollywood model all day long.

"The risk is too great. This is the second. The most important thing is actually one point. Our domestic environment is different from that of foreign countries."

"You mean, censorship?" Yao Ding thought of it all at once this time.

"Yeah, censorship, who can guarantee that a movie can be censored in one step?"

Domestic film review is generally divided into two stages: the script review stage and the completion review stage.

The script review is easy to say, the completion guarantee can be carried out after the script has passed the review, but the key point is that many movies have passed the review, but they still cannot be released. Why?It's because of the final review.

For the completion guarantee, this is an insurmountable obstacle!
Because no one dares to say that they can guarantee that a film will pass the review.

All in all, all in all, it is an impossible task at this stage to promote film completion censorship in China.
