You promised to make a bad movie, but your box office exceeded 10 billion?

Chapter 235 With a budget of [-] million, you, Su You, also want to make a big production?
In the mansion opposite the Soho Building in Wangjing, Beijing, Yu Hewei stood in front of the window with a gloomy face, looking at the clouds floating in the distance, and his mood became even more gloomy.

He has already arranged the schedule and is going to film a drama that he is very optimistic about. If the progress is good, the drama should be launched during the Chinese New Year.

He believes that with this drama, he can let everyone see a different Yu Hewei.

However, just now, his agent called him and said that the filming company had decided to temporarily cancel the filming plan. At the same time, he also brought an invitation from another crew.

Everything is weird at this time.

And the truth is not complicated. It's just that he has a mission from above, so he uses his power to pressure others and makes him have to participate in the filming of a drama. It's really deceiving!
Of course he can refuse. In this day and age, no one can force him to do something he doesn't want to do.

But he also has to mix in the circle, and he must consider the consequences of doing so.

Therefore, even though he felt depressed and wanted to punch the world, he still agreed to the other party's invitation.

But after he agreed, he became more and more angry and couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Still angry?"

At this time, Yu Hewei's wife Song Linjing came over.

"It hurts so much!"

"Besides, this time an important person has spoken. It will only be delayed for a few months. It won't delay the matter. Don't lose your temper. It's not necessary. You are already dozens of years old. Just bear with it and let it go. ”

Song Linjing stood next to Yu Hewei and said with a smile, "Besides, if people like you, it means that the director has good vision. Maybe this time, if you are lucky, you can make a classic, so you can Make a fortune!”

Of course she knew what Yu Hewei was depressed about, but the deal was already done. Sometimes, if she changed her mind, her life would be much easier.

Yu Hewei sneered, "How can there be any good works about this kind of thing?"

"I would be thankful to have a normal work."

Apparently, he seemed to have some bad memories.

"But I heard that this time the director is Xiao Su, who is very popular in the Chinese film and television industry. I have seen his works and they are quite good!"

Song Linjing obviously came prepared.

Hearing this name, Yu Hewei also felt a little calmer. Su You's name is now well-known in the film and television industry, and Yu Hewei has also watched many dramas produced by Su You. As for the strength of this young man, He still approved it.

But this is not a commercial film and television drama after all, but a serious drama!
Everyone has his strong and weak points.

No matter how talented a person is, it is impossible to cover everything, there will always be something he is not good at.

For example, the famous Xiangjiang director Wang Jin has made many classics, as well as many bad films.

So he was skeptical about Su You coming to film this drama, and he also heard that Su You also wrote the script, which made him even more worried.

Could a young man, still in his infancy, be able to write about the gravity of that era?
"What are you thinking so much about?"

"It's better to read the script first."

Song Linjing raised her hand and took out a stack of A4 paper that still smelled like printer ink, and handed it to Yu Hewei, "No matter what other people do, as long as you play your role well, no matter how bad the show is, you will still be in it." The same color!”

Seeing the bright smile on his wife's face, Yu Hewei finally smiled and reached out to take the script.

……

"The old thief actually invited me to film a movie!"

Zhejiang Province, Qiantang District, Hospital, Su Bijuan was stunned after answering the phone.

Although she felt that Su You, the old thief, would not lie to her, after all, half a year had passed, and she thought that the old thief had already forgotten.

"really?"

"really?"

Hearing this, the surrounding nurses immediately gathered around, each one as excited as if they were going to film a movie.

"Great, there are new dramas to watch!"

"You can film with peace of mind, we will take turns doing your job for you!"

There was also a good friend who patted Su Bijuan on the shoulder, as if he wanted to hurt his brother.

However, Su Bijuan rolled her eyes at her and said, "It's only three days of filming in total. You're going to have to do this shit... I'll just ask for one day of annual leave."

"Ah? Just three days?"

Her friends felt a little sorry for her. From the filming time, we could tell that this was probably not an important role.

Su Bijuan doesn't think so. Although it's only three days, it should be a very interesting experience. It's just like taking annual leave to travel. Moreover, you don't have to pay for the trip yourself, and you can still make money. How could such a good thing happen? What else could Su Bijuan have to be greedy about?

"Oh, it seems I can't wait to see Bijuan's performance on the screen!"

"Me too, hahaha, I'm really looking forward to it!"

A group of little girls were chattering together. The thought of someone familiar to them appearing on the TV screen would indeed make people feel extremely novel and excited.

"I haven't even written my eight characters yet..."

Su Bijuan was looking forward to it, but also a little worried, "With such a small amount of scenes, maybe they won't be cut into the feature film in the end."

"I'm very happy to be able to see the old thief Su You filming!"

Although she said this, it was obvious that she was not so optimistic, otherwise she would not have learned so much about filming these days.

News that Su You was going to film a drama began to circulate on the Internet. When Chen Hui saw the news, he also had some bad comments. This old thief Su You is really capable of doing things, and he really doesn't rest on his laurels. Ah, obviously there are already many popular works, so making sequels is definitely the safest way.

This approach is undoubtedly admirable, but Chen Hui is still waiting to watch "The Wandering Earth 2"!

What a joyful trouble!

However, people are still looking forward to the main drama of Su You, the old thief!

Chen Hui's thoughts basically represent the vast majority of netizens. On the one hand, they are happy that Su You is releasing a new drama, but on the other hand, they are a little sad that the old thief's new drama is not "The Wandering Earth 2".

Some are happy and some are sad.

The happiest people to hear this news are the Weinstein brothers.

Because Su You wanted to make a drama to celebrate the motherland's birthday, they, who already had some understanding of Chinese culture, knew that Su You must do his best to do this kind of thing.

This means that even if Su You had the intention, he would not be able to deal with them!God help me!

……

"With a budget of [-] million, you, Su You, also want to make a big production?"

Shihao International, Xihong Film and Television, in the office, Li Mingyue looked at the budget sheet handed over by Su You, her scalp was numb, and even her voice was raised an octave.

This is not because of the cost. In the past, they never made a budget for Xihong Film and Television productions. They just paid attention to how much money they had and how much money they spent. Li Mingyue was an expert at taking the lead in spending money.

But a budget of [-] million is indeed not a small amount for a TV series, and TV series are not like movies. Movies may make a lot of money because of their reputation and quality.

No matter what happened, with Su You's current reputation, there would be no problem in returning to his roots.

But TV dramas are different. TV dramas need to be submitted to platforms and TV stations. It’s hard to say how much the platform will charge you. Li Mingyue even heard that some TV stations broadcast the drama first, but did not sign a contract. After the broadcast, they start to lower the price or even refuse to pay. This is nothing new.

Even if the platforms are very conscientious, there are not many TV stations that can spend so much money to purchase copyrights.

The possibility of making back the investment in TV series and movies worth [-] million is as slim as clouds or even impossible.

And this is a historical drama whose audience is not that wide.

Now that Li Mingyue has been in the film and television industry for many years, she still knows these common sense.

What's more, Li Mingyue still remembered that on the plane from Mianshan back to Zhejiang Province, Su You once complained about Penguin's [-] million production and told her how the [-] million was spent. Unexpectedly, one day, Su You himself I will also shoot this kind of big production.

"What, can't bear it?"

Su You asked with a smile. He had never seen Li Mingyue like this before. In the past, she seemed to be clamoring for more money and trying her best to save costs. Now she had an inexplicable feeling of role reversal.

He couldn't help but think that when he was filming "The Dragon King", he was planning to be the male lead + photographer + director + set manager...

Seeing Su You's smile that was lost in memories, Li Mingyue also laughed, "I was afraid that you would be reluctant to spend money!"

"We are celebrating the birthday of our motherland, so we cannot be miserable. Otherwise, if the budget is doubled again, the quality of this drama cannot be bad!"

cough cough...

Su You almost choked. He knew that Li Mingyue spent money lavishly, but his casual attitude of treating one billion as dirt still made him feel ashamed. As expected, he was still far from Li Mingyue's level.

Before he came, he knew that Li Mingyue would definitely support him, but he still explained, "This budget was something I didn't expect."

Su You said, but in a firm tone, "But if you want to be worthy of this script, the investment cannot be less, otherwise the quality of the film will be wrong, and the time is tight, and the cost of rushing the work is also high."

Su You has never advocated working overtime, but this time the time was indeed too tight, so he had no choice but to make this decision. However, he still had to pay three times the overtime salary, and the cost of employment would soar instantly.

"I know that producing a TV series at this cost will most likely result in a loss, but there are some things that you have to do even if you lose money. In this life, you can't just make money, you still have to do something meaningful!"

"This budget is mainly spent on..."

"Okay, okay, master, please stop reading. I have a headache. You can go and film the drama."

Li Mingyue held her head in one hand, stretched out the other hand, raised her palm, faced Su You, and shouted at the top of her voice.

He actually acted like Brother Monkey.

In fact, she was laughing and applauding happily in her heart, and her heart was blooming with joy.

This kid finally got the idea!
Losing money is the last word!

In the end, she even dropped her words, "If you don't have enough money, you can come to me anytime!"

Anyway, Su You earned all the money, and she couldn't squander the system funds. She didn't feel bad about spending it at all. If Su You could clear the system funds, she would wake up laughing in her sleep.

She was indeed right about Su You. Li Mingyue was sometimes frightened by how much money this master spent.

The only pity is that his ability to make money is too strong. Looking at the zeros in the system fund column, Li Mingyue felt a little sad.

But she cheered up when she thought that "Age of Awakening" could lose money, or even lose a lot of money.

When was the last time you lost money?

"I said Su You, building a building just to film a drama is a bit wasteful, right?"

Walking out of the office, Zhang Keer stopped Su You.

"If we can recreate the grand occasion of those gentlemen, it would be worth rebuilding not only a building, but also a city!"

Being able to reshoot such a drama with his own hands, and thinking of recreating the deeds of those ancestors, Su You is also a little excited.

"I still feel it's inappropriate. Although we are not short of money now, it is a waste of time and money to waste people's time and material resources."

Zhang Keer still feels a little heartbroken. They all worked hard from nothing. She naturally cherishes the current resources very much and hates extravagance and waste.

This time, in order to film "Age of Awakening", Su You not only had to recreate many scenes from that year, but also to make the film more textured, and also gathered big names. Although it seems that the actors he invited, except for Yu Hewei, were not Too famous and not well known to the public.

But this is just because they have not spent money to market themselves. There is no doubt that these people are seasoned actors and talented actors.

Su You's generous treatment to these people made Zhang Ke'er a little frightened. But in Su You's words, why can those young talents get sky-high salaries, while the acting talents can only make ends meet?You can't let an actor's salary be lower than that of a young actor, right?
Faced with such remarks, she had nothing to say, so she wanted to struggle a little more to restore the scene.

……

In Japan, Daisuke Tanimoto sat in his office depressed and said nothing.

"Look, let me tell you, although that kid is a genius, he is still too young to arm-wrestle with Hollywood in cartoons. No, he is already scared!"

Huajinglong spread his hands, his contempt for Su You undisguised in his tone.

"How do you know he is afraid? Can't he prepare in secret?" Daisuke Tanimoto was still a little unwilling. Originally, he tried his best to get behind Weinstein's back, but in the end, Xihongshi Film and Television gave up and he became a clown. .

"Stop dreaming. They are filming a drama recently. It's quite a show. They say it's to celebrate the motherland's birthday. You don't understand such a title, right?"

……

Penguin and Sun Huaizhong were also in a bad mood.

They originally agreed to make a cartoon, and they joined forces again to fight side by side. But then you turned around and went to make a TV series, and created such a big battle. Looking at this situation, the previous cooperation must have been ruined. ah.

"Isn't he still holding a grudge?"

Sun Huaizhong was a little panicked. He looked out the window, touched his chin, and thought, "I heard that Xihong Film and Television has purchased a lot of shares in Qianda Pictures. This is not a good sign. How about giving some Penguin Films as a gift?" Did you pass the shares of the industry?"
