Chapter 113 Unwilling to Accept It
It's possible that Zhongteng Company learned that Huang Min had ousted Changkong Media from its investment and distribution agency arrangements, so the company's general manager, Wan Hao, proactively promoted the film to Huang Min.
They wanted to replace Changkong Media, increase investment in Huang Min's next film, and acquire the distribution rights for it. After thinking about it, Huang Min agreed.
However, the distribution agency fee must be reduced to five percent.
Zhongteng Company readily agreed to this. Compared to the five percent distribution agency fee, they were more concerned with increasing their investment in Huang Min's next project. After all, compared to other directors' production costs of one or two hundred million yuan, the production cost of Huang Min's film was incredibly low.
The success of "The Terror Live" has given Huang Min the leverage to negotiate prices.
No one thought Huang Min would continue to achieve such high returns, but if they maintained this partnership, Zhong Teng Pictures could recoup its previous losses with just one more film.
September 5th.
Zhongteng Company signed another contract with Dongsheng Film Industry and subsequently transferred an investment of 15 million to Dongsheng Film Industry's account. Normally, entertainment companies that jointly invest will establish a joint account. Firstly, this makes it easier to check the flow of funds, and secondly, it can prevent the director from pocketing the money. However, because the investment was small, and because Zhongteng Company wanted to leave Huang Min with the impression of "how much our company trusts you", they did not do this.
To Huang Min's surprise, Zhang Jianhua of Huatian seemed to have some real skills. Before the web series "Unexpectedly" even started filming, he had already secured three brand sponsors: a milk brand, a shoe brand, and a toothbrush brand. Although the sponsorship fees were not high, the total amount from the three sponsors was only 150,000 yuan.
But before the web series has even aired, and without knowing the number of views or the level of discussion, let alone 150,000, getting even 50,000 views would be considered pretty good.
This time.
This made Huang Min, who originally didn't like Zhang Jianhua much, look at him differently, as if Su Qing had really put him in a suitable position.
Meanwhile, the company's location scouts also sent over some photos one after another. Huang Min selected a few and then took Uncle Zheng's taxi to the location.
It wasn't far from the city where he lived, just one of the surrounding cities, about two hours away. When Huang Min got out of the car, he saw a large rice paddy directly in front of him, with several old utility poles. Today was September 7th, and the rice had already sprouted ears, one large field after another.
Two crew members who had come with him were standing nearby.
Huang Min looked around. Although there was a large rice field that could be used as a filming location, there was an elevated bridge running in both directions in front of the rice field, allowing the high-speed rail to pass through.
Huang Min walked along the ridge of the field. The back of his hand, which was being touched by the rice stalks, was still a little itchy. Huang Min knew that this was because he hadn't done farm work for a long time and his skin was starting to become delicate.
Reaching the end of the paddy field, Huang Min turned around again. The rice ears were not yet ripe, and the leaves were still green. As far as the eye could see, all he could see was the sight of rice swaying in the wind.
Don't say it.
After living in a concrete jungle for so long, suddenly returning to the countryside can be truly refreshing.
Huang Min stopped and looked around, and found that the camera position would not capture the viaduct in the shot. In particular, if he did not want to capture it, he could have the camera tilted downwards to prevent the very modern viaduct from entering the frame.
There was an irrigation ditch in front of the rice paddy. After looking around, Huang Min knew that this was indeed an excellent filming location. Seemingly noticing that there were a few more people here, the villagers and the village chief who lived here came over. A member of the crew immediately went over to talk to the people who came over. They heard that a director was planning to film here.
The villager's eyes darted around, and he was about to ask for some money when the staff member said directly, "Once it's confirmed that you'll be filming here, this place might become a popular tourist spot. At that time, you can make a lot of money no matter what you do."
talking.
After receiving instructions from Huang Min, the crew members negotiated with the village chief and directly contracted the seedlings to the crew. After some bargaining, they finally settled on 2,200 yuan per mu. The extra 200 yuan was a kickback from the village chief for helping to negotiate with the families of these rice paddies. The price of 2,000 yuan per seedling was also much higher than the actual price.
"This acre can only sell for 1,500 yuan."
Uncle Zheng used to farm and knew exactly how much a mu (unit of land area) could sell for: "And that still has to be subtracted from the cost of the harvester, plus the labor of the family."
"There's no time left."
Huang Min looked at the rice field that had already sprouted ears and said this.
He then took out his phone and dialed Su Qing's number: "The filming location has been finalized. Have someone bring the filming equipment over this afternoon. Everyone except the staff of 'Unexpectedly' should come over. Notify Teacher Zhou Nian and Teacher Zhou Bo."
After explaining the situation.
"it is good"
Su Qing nodded.
Around 3 p.m., a large truck stopped at the entrance of the village. The village was now filled with a sense of stagnation. Huang Min had arrived in the morning and stayed in the village for several hours. He even had a meal at the village chief's house, but he didn't see many children. However, his film required scenes of children laughing and playing.
The film crew members who arrived at the scene began unloading the filming equipment from the truck.
"This place is nice."
Teacher Zhou, who had also come along, looked around and praised.
"Must be good"
Huang Min replied with a smile, "No, I wouldn't choose to film here either. But a crime thriller that's too good won't do either; we need to darken the color tone a bit."
"Have you heard about your ex-wife's situation?!"
Asking questions on the anniversary.
"What!?"
Huang Min looked somewhat bewildered.
Since Huang Min exposed Lin Wan and Wang Zhi's affair, he stopped paying attention to them. There was no need for it anymore. As long as Zhang Li got Wang Zhi's bank statements and confirmed that the money came from Wang Zhi, the rest would be easy. So now, these two were basically useless to Huang Min.
"He attempted suicide by cutting his wrists but was saved."
Anniversary Reflection.
"hehe"
Huang Min chuckled twice and asked in return, "You believe that!?"
Before Teacher Zhou could answer, Huang Min laughed and said, "She's still not giving up and is planning to use a self-inflicted injury. Anyone might commit suicide, but a woman like Lin Wan wouldn't. If she really wants to commit suicide—she can learn from me and die however she wants when no one is home. Just watch! This woman will soon be holding a press conference and putting on a crying show."
Others might not be able to see what tricks Lin Wan was planning to use.
But Huang Min could tell at a glance.
However, playing the victim and gaining sympathy isn't a bad idea. After thinking for a moment, Huang Min couldn't help but laugh: "I guess my ex-wife will say that she only got together with Wang Zhi because his relationship was broken and he was in the process of getting a divorce, and that she didn't interfere in Wang Zhi's marriage. Then my brother Da Zhi will also stand on her side. You know what, these two are quite a good match. If they can withstand the pressure and get married directly after Wang Zhi and Zhang Li get divorced, no one can really say anything, because it's love."
