Literature, painting, music, dance, sculpture, drama, architecture, and film are the so-called "eight arts".
Strictly speaking, it can be divided into two groups.
The first seven are a group, all of which can be completed by one person; Cinema is the second type, and it must be done in a division of labor.
This is also the reason why cinema is called an industrial system.
It is precisely because of the industrial nature of the film that every film project is destined not to be a small project.
Even a small-scale film like "33 Days of Broken Love" involves millions of dollars, which is why the general manager and vice president of Perfect Film and Television will personally come forward to negotiate.
"We have read the script and Lao Teng's proposal, and overall, we are quite optimistic about this project."
Chen Rong said with a smile: "So the main issue we are discussing today is the issue of copyright ownership and investment contracts. ” Chen Rong picked up a document in front of him, handed it to Mu Ming and said, "This is a cooperation agreement that we have preliminarily drawn up, you can take a look at it first."
Mu Ming got up and slowly opened the result file and browsed it.
To be honest, the agreement given by Perfect Film and Television is not very generous.
For example, the adaptation copyright that Mu Ming now has in his hands, and the perfect condition is to bid 700,000 yuan for the acquisition.
Or it is converted into investment and included in the cost of film production, but the final complete copyright belongs to Perfect Film and Television, and Mu Ming only enjoys the right to share the box office.
There is also the amount of investment, because the main actors have not yet been determined, and the production cost in terms of remuneration is difficult to calculate, so perfection is required in the form of a percentage.
Mu Ming's investment cannot exceed 25%, which makes it clear that she doesn't want Mu Ming to interfere in the actual production of the movie.
There's no way, the store is a big bully.
Mu Ming is a pure newcomer in this industry, with no identity and no status, and other film and television companies have channels and resources, of course, they are much tougher.
For newcomers, it's good to be able to talk to you.
It's just that Chen Rong and the others miscalculated that although Mu Ming is a newcomer, she doesn't have the mentality of a newcomer.
After holding the worst prediction of shooting by himself in two years, he is much tougher than the average newcomer.
Of course, negotiate, and pay back the money on the spot at the sky-high price.
The perfect estimate is to take this agreement with Mu Ming's young and inexperienced heart, who can flicker and flicker, and can talk if he can't flicker.
Mu Ming flipped through the documents, and at the same time, her mind began to think about the gains and losses between various conditions at a high speed.
After a long time, Mu Ming finally closed the file, put it on the table, and said slowly: "I can transfer the adaptation copyright of this work." ” These film and television companies attach great importance to the copyright of their works, and no matter which one Mu Ming talks to, it is estimated that they can't hold it in their hands, so it is inevitable to transfer it.
However, it is still possible to fight for the maximum benefit of exchanging copyright.
When Chen Rong and Zeng Yingxue heard this, they were both happy in their hearts.
But before the two of them could smile, they heard Mu Ming continue: "However, I don't sell it directly.
The cost of transferring copyright, as one of the separate cost investments, is not included in the restriction of capital investment. ” "This ......"
Chen Rong and Zeng Yingxue glanced at each other, and asked hesitantly: "Then, how much money are you going to invest?"
” "Forty percent."
Mu Ming said unceremoniously.
"Impossible."
Chen Rong vetoed.
Although it is not certain how much the total investment will be for the time being, it is estimated that it will be around 10 million.
The copyright transfer fee is almost one million, and if you give another forty percent, it is equivalent to Mu Ming occupying most of the head.
"Up to 30% of the capital investment."
Chen Rong reported the bottom line of his acceptance.
"Thirty percent ......"
Mu Ming secretly calculated in her heart that 30% of the investment, plus copyright, could account for about 35.
This figure is quite acceptable.
Thinking of this, Mu Ming nodded and affirmed: "Yes, then it will be a thirty percent proportion."
However, I would like to be able to take a part-time position as a producer and be involved in the production of the project. ” This question was not decided by Chen Rong, he turned his head to look at Teng Huatao, who had been sitting silently.
Domestic film production belongs to the director-centered system, especially for directors with certain qualifications like Teng Huatao, and the major and minor affairs of the crew are completely decided by the director.
Teng Huatao didn't say anything during the negotiation between Mu Ming and Chen Rong, just watched quietly.
In terms of identity, he is a perfect person, and there is no reason to help outsiders; But on the other hand, this project was found by Mu Ming, and it was handed over to him because he trusted himself, and he couldn't say anything out of morality, so the best thing to do was to watch from the side.
In case there is a tendency for the two parties to talk about the collapse, it is better to come forward as a buffer.

But this will turn the conversation to himself, and he can't be silent anymore.
In fact, according to his thoughts, he really doesn't care if there is a producer of Mu Ming.
He and Mu Ming have also cooperated once, and he knows that this young man is not the kind of person who will interfere with the crew indiscriminately with investment, so there is no problem at all for him to participate.
Moreover, to put it mildly, even if Mu Ming really wanted to interfere, he didn't care at all.
Mu Ming naturally knew this truth, so after mentioning the conditions, she immediately said to Teng Huatao: "Director, don't worry, I just put up a name and will not interfere with your shooting." ” Although Teng Huatao didn't care in his heart, he was still very satisfied with Mu Ming's statement.
Hearing this, he smiled and said, "It's okay."
Just like in "Naked Marriage", if you have any opinions on the plot or lines, just say it. ” Teng Huatao's words came out, and Chen Rong understood in his heart that there was no problem here.
Since there is no objection to everyone's initial intention, the conditions of cooperation have basically been set, and then the final investment budget can be officially signed.
"By the way, Director Teng, I don't know the starring actors, have you decided?"
Mu Ming asked.
Although he can't decide on the actor, he still has the right to suggest.
He was more curious about whether anything would change with his own participation.
"The male Wang Xiaobei, we feel that Wen Zhang's image is more suitable."
Teng Huatao did not hide it, and gave Mu Ming a brief introduction: "For the time being, I just briefly contacted the intention, and he preliminarily agreed after reading the script."
And the condition he gave was that he could not get paid and change to box office sharing. ” Mu Ming's heart was clear.
Yes, in my previous life, I heard that Wen Zhang's movie was participated in with zero pay, and he signed an 8% or 10% box office share.
The final box office of "33 Days of Broken Love" is more than 300 million, and the producer's share is at least more than 100 million, which means that Wen Zhang can finally get more than 10 million in income.
You must know that the movie salary of first-line stars in about 11 years is between two million and three million.
If this movie was invested by Mu Ming, he would naturally not accept the salary in exchange.
But now that the producer is perfect film and television, Mu Ming's share ratio is fixed, so he won't be too lazy to say it.
