"We still need 100,000 yuan in investment!" The director looked at the small investor in front of him with full of anticipation.
100,000?
Adding to the investment amount raised before the film, the film has a total investment of more than 300,000.
A 300,000 yuan investment in a movie is quite a lot!
In such a small market, it’s not easy to make a profit!
The director was afraid Xu Nanxing would back down after hearing such a large sum, so he continued, "If the lead actor hadn't gotten into trouble, the original investment in this film would have been enough. Now we have to start all over again, which is why the funding gap is so huge! But, miss, have you read our script? To be honest, this script has been carefully revised many times by screenwriter Wang. I am very confident that after the movie is made, it will definitely be a big hit!"
The director was obviously not a good talker. After speaking such a long paragraph, he immediately looked at Xu Nanxing eagerly, waiting for his answer.
Xu Nanxing really thinks the script of this movie is pretty good!
At least compared to other scripts she had, it was much better!
The Hong Kong film industry is now of mixed quality, and everyone wants to get involved. No matter whether the film is good or bad, as long as they get investment, they will start filming.
Many well-known actors have to work on several sets at the same time, and before they can even adjust to the emotions of their roles, they start filming the next movie.
It would be strange if you could take a good photo like this!
The director and screenwriter of this movie are both very experienced senior industry insiders, which is much better than those who just entered the industry halfway to make money!
Xu Nanxing felt that based on the movie script alone, it was still possible to break even.
She didn't expect this movie to make a lot of money. She just wanted to use this movie to enter the industry and gain a deeper understanding of this industry, or more precisely, the real situation of the Hong Kong film industry at this time.
Xu Nanxing said: "I can invest 100,000 yuan, but I have two small requests."
The director was immediately happy when he heard the other party agreed.
"No problem! Just make your request! We will definitely try our best to satisfy you!"
So much investment has been made in this movie. If the movie is not finished, the investor will not let him go easily!
Moreover, he had high hopes for this movie and he even borrowed money from relatives and friends to invest in it. If the filming of the movie was really stopped midway, he would suffer a huge loss.
So the little girl in front of him is his savior. Not to mention that the other party only has two requests now, it doesn’t matter if he has more requests!
Xu Nanxing then said, "My first request is that I want to make a small change to the script."
Upon hearing this, the director and the crew members accompanying him frowned. They had seen many investors asking for script changes, but if every investor asked for a change, the script would definitely be changed beyond recognition!
The director is very confident about this script and is very reluctant to make any changes.
But the crew is in real trouble now. If they can't find investors to invest, the film may be at risk of being stopped.
I just hope that this little girl doesn’t ask for too many changes, and the general direction of the script should still retain the original main storyline!
Alas, the situation is stronger than people, he doesn’t know how to talk to the screenwriter later.
The director then politely said, "Minor changes are fine, but we've already started filming. If the changes are too drastic, the filming time will increase, and our costs will exceed the limit. To reduce costs, it's best not to make too big of a change."
Xu Nanxing nodded and said, "I understand. I just want to change the character of the second male lead, that is, the male protagonist's henchman. Change him to a funny guy, that is, responsible for showing off and making people laugh! Isn't the movie targeting the Lunar New Year period? Um, that is, the Chinese New Year period. During the Chinese New Year, many families go to the cinema to watch movies together. If the movie is too boring, people may not want to watch it during the Chinese New Year. But if the movie is a little funnier, the elderly and children will be more willing to choose to come to the cinema to watch our movie."
"And who really wants to go to the cinema to watch a movie full of fighting and killing during the New Year?"
this……
Chinese New Year... fighting and killing...
Uh, this is really not appropriate!
The director previously thought that there were many holidays during the Chinese New Year period and many people would have time to go to the cinema to watch movies, so the box office should be better. He didn't expect that the other party thought it was not suitable for the Chinese New Year atmosphere!
That’s right!
Wouldn’t it be better to watch some happy and funny movies during the Chinese New Year?
He originally just wanted to make a martial arts film about revenge, but this type of film is too homogenized.
If a little comedy element is added to the film, especially during the Chinese New Year when the whole family is having a good time, wouldn’t it be more in line with the atmosphere of the New Year?
Thinking of this, the director now wishes he could pull the screenwriter over to revise the script right away!
Seeing that the director seemed to have listened, Xu Nanxing stopped talking and left the professional matters to professionals, while she just stood by and gave some instructions.
Xu Nanxing then made a second request at the right moment: "My investment funds were invested by me and my friend. Since we both like watching movies and are interested in making movies, she and I would like to come to the filming site from time to time to watch your filming."
Interested in making movies.
If the other party was not an investor, the director would have thought that the other party wanted to participate in the movie!
However, the families of these rich girls would probably not allow them to show up in public and make movies!
That should mean that you are interested in the process of making a movie.
