Yuehai Company originally did not intend to agree to such outrageous conditions.
However, neither GM Company, Magic Cube Company, nor Zhen Liang Studio had any objections.
No matter how much Yuehai Company objected, they had no choice but to accept it reluctantly!
Because it's obvious that this movie is a sure-fire way to make money.
According to Wang Xiaohao's plan, this movie will require far too many product placements!
It can almost cover most of the shooting costs.
Furthermore, given Wang Xiaohao's past achievements, the prospects for "My Love from the Star" are very promising, and it is very likely to bring the company a lot of money.
At worst, we'll make a small profit!
It was precisely because of this situation that Wang Xiaohao dared to make such an outrageous demand, asking for a directing fee of 20 million yuan.
Furthermore, ten million of that amount was converted into shares, representing a 20% stake!
In other words, regardless of whether the movie ultimately makes a profit or not, Wang Xiaohao has already earned ten million yuan in advance.
It guarantees a good harvest regardless of drought or flood!
What made Yuehai Company even more indignant was that the film's budget couldn't possibly be 50 million. Well, even if we deduct the 10 million that Wang Xiaohao received in advance, it would still be 40 million!
According to Yuehai Company's estimate, an investment of at most 20 million to 25 million should be enough to complete the filming.
Wang Xiaohao demands so much money for filming, yet refuses to allow Magic Cube Company and Yuehai Company to send people to supervise the use of filming funds. You can imagine what he's really up to!
That means Wang Xiaohao is going to earn 20 to 30 million yuan from this movie. And that doesn't even include the box office!
However, even knowing that the conditions were so outrageous, Rubik's Cube and GM were not stupid. Why would they agree to such conditions?
And what about Zhen Liang? Could she really be infatuated with Wang Xiaohao to agree to such outrageous conditions?
That's because the film's profit prospects are just too good!
Yuehai Company won't agree to these conditions, but there are plenty of companies that would!
GM has promised to provide all the luxury items featured in the film and is also willing to pay an additional ten million in sponsorship fees.
In addition, they can also help connect you with major luxury car brands.
The amount of money involved in the product placement of luxury car brands is expected to be no less than ten million!
The Rubik's Cube company also stated that they could contact some luxury real estate developers to secure sponsorships. The sponsorship amount should be no less than five million!
In other words, even before the movie started filming, the product placement alone was enough to generate 25 million in revenue!
In fact, Yuehai Company would prefer to kick GM Company out of the game, because if Yuehai Company were to negotiate the integration of GG on its own...
Based on the various luxury brands that need to appear in Wang Xiaohao's movie, they are confident that they can secure over 50 million RMB in product placement.
This is the only way to maximize profits.
Instead of bringing in GM companies and then having to share box office revenue with them!
But there was nothing they could do; Wang Xiaohao was the one who organized the gathering.
He certainly won't do things the way Yuehai Company wants.
What is beneficial to Yuehai Company may not necessarily be beneficial to Wang Xiaohao.
If Wang Xiaohao hadn't brought in Rubik's Cube and GM to counterbalance Yuehai Company and create a system of checks and balances, then his own interests wouldn't have been guaranteed!
In short, this was not Yuehai Company's home turf.
In order to make money, Yuehai Company had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
According to the agreement, Yuehai Company not only needs to contribute 10 million yuan, but also needs to provide resources to assist in the filming. More importantly, it needs to provide funds to ensure the filming and release of the movie in order to obtain the 20% share!
Of course, this is not specifically targeting Yuehai Company.
The same applies to Rubik's Cube Formula. In addition to investing ten million yuan, they also need to ensure the entire publicity and promotion in order to obtain this twenty percent share!
After all, besides Wang Xiaohao and Zhen Liang being the initiators and organizers, if the other three companies can't come up with additional resources, who will be there to help you make money?
A ten million investment is simply giving you the opportunity to make money!
After these agreements were finalized, filming officially began.
Before the agreement was finalized, Wang Xiaohao had already completed most of the pre-production work for "My Love from the Star," including script breakdown and filming locations.
Now all we need to do is find the actors, and we can start filming immediately.
Compared to the relatively uneventful casting of the previous two films, the casting for this film is now causing quite a stir!
After all, Wang Xiaohao, who has two movies released, is no longer the unknown person he once was.
He is now a somewhat well-known young director!
Wang Xiaohao is particularly well-known among actresses.
Because Wang Xiaohao's first two films were both female-centric films, both showcasing the charm of women to the fullest.
Which of today's domestic female stars doesn't envy Wang Xiaoshuang and Zhen Liang!
Wang Xiaoshuang, who started out acting in TV dramas, especially idol dramas, quickly established herself in the film industry.
Zhen Liang, along with Wang Xiaohao, was hailed as the Goddess of the Orient at the César Awards, making a splash in front of the world.
Now Wang Xiaohao is going to film his third project!
Do you think those female celebrities are excited or not?!
What's even more deadly?
Wang Xiaohao is preparing to shoot a romance film this time!
As we all know...
Okay, not many people probably know this!
Among all types of movies worldwide, the one that gives the female lead the most boost is the romance film!
none of them!
In all other types of films around the world, the idea that female leads can carry the box office is a false proposition!
But only the female lead in a romance film can truly carry the box office!
In Hollywood, the pay gap between male and female stars was enormous.
However, in the 1990s, many classic romance films were produced, and only the leading actresses could rival the actors in terms of salary.
Then in China, no one stood out in this field until Bai Baihe emerged and became a box office goddess overnight.
In just a few years, their achievements have been outstanding.
It wasn't until later, after incidents like the "One-Finger Zen" incident, that he was suppressed and fell from grace.
However, in this parallel universe, there are no female stars in the domestic entertainment industry who have taken this path.
However, this doesn't stop some smart actresses in China from knowing that romance films provide an immense boost to the female lead's image!
Yes!
The type of film a movie can have a different impact on an actor!
Sometimes, high box office success doesn't necessarily translate to a significant boost for the actors!
Especially in special effects films, the boost from the lead actor is often minimal.
For example, can you say that the success of a movie like The Wandering Earth is due to the lead actors?
However, movies like "Titanic" have a huge boost for the male and female leads! They instantly made two world-class superstars.
This is the effect of different themes!
