Chapter 404: Progressing well

Although "Infernal Affairs" and "Crazy Stone" are based on the plot, there are too many literary dramas, there are no big moves, scenes, and high-level special effects, but relatively speaking, the investment amount of "Infernal Affairs" It is almost five times higher than "Crazy Stone".
  The final total investment budget of "Infernal Affairs" is set at about 40 million.
Among them, the actor Chen Hui’s personal remuneration is nearly 10 million. This is because Chen Hui himself is very fond of the role in the film, and because of Zheng Yugang’s face, it has reduced a lot. Otherwise, if he goes to shoot some pure commercials For large movies, it is possible to get 15 million or even 20 million.
  This is the value of the actor.
  As for the other actors, although I initially planned to hire some capable actors, the pay of those people is generally not as expensive as Chen Hui.
   Among these 40 million investments, Chen Feng personally invested 20 million, Tailang Entertainment invested 10 million, and the remaining 10 million would be put on the market to be shared by related companies in other industries.
For example, some influential publicity and distribution companies, and even some film and television investment companies under the theater chain, etc., these companies will only help with the promotion, distribution, and filming of the film when they can share the profits. Therefore, the allocated investment share of 10 million is still very worthwhile for the final box office of the entire film.
  The films invested by Chen Feng will naturally be sought after by many companies.
  After all, the first film he invested in, "Crazy Stone", has earned 250 million yuan. Even Tailang Entertainment and director Ni Hao have also made a lot of money, turning over in one fell swoop, no one is jealous of such opportunities.
  So when Chen Feng was about to make the second film, many people in the industry wanted to get a share.
Chen Feng and Xu Tailang can also understand this kind of thing. After all, everyone who has money makes money together. If you eat your own meat, you always have to separate a bit of soup. If you really don’t get a dime, I’m afraid that you will gradually become the industry. Mortal enemy.
As for Chen Feng, taking this opportunity, he finally registered and established his own investment company. After all, many things are more convenient to operate in the form of a company, and Chen Feng’s personal accounts cannot always be linked to Tailang Entertainment. Therefore, it is the most sensible way to set up your own company directly.
  As for the company, Chen Feng didn't know much about it, so An Ruohua took the initiative to take on most of the work.
After returning from Longtan Town, An Ruohua has already begun to work hard to learn about the operation and management of investment companies. In any case, she has to help Chen Feng share some pressure. Anyway, she doesn't want to make a movie recently, just because she has time. Deal with these things.
  As for the company's name, Chen Feng directly chose the most tacky word "Ping An". Anyway, his biggest wish now is to allow himself and his favorite people to enjoy a safe and happy life.
  ……
  After Mai Zizhao came to Kyoto, he discussed with Chen Feng several times about the movie script. At the same time, he also carried out some more reasonable plot optimizations, and the whole script became more perfect.
  The last few times, even the leading actors Chen Hui and Lin Zhehua also participated.
When I first saw Chen Hui, Mai Zizhao was agitated. In his words, when he wrote this script, the protagonist in his mind was based on Chen Hui as the prototype. Unexpectedly, now his dream has come true. .
And Lin Zhehua’s appearance also made Mai Zizhao very satisfied. Although I don’t know how the other party’s acting skills are, Lin Zhehua is still very famous recently. He is a careless star. With the two protagonists of him and Chen Hui, the film The quality is guaranteed at least seven to eight points.
  It was Lin Zhehua. After reading the script of "Infernal Affairs" and learned that he was going to play one of the protagonists, and he was going to play a lot of opponents with Chen Hui, he himself was nervous to say nothing.
  Although Chen Feng had said long ago that he should play an important role in the new movie, he did not expect that he would be such an important starring role.
  After all, he originally played a supporting role in "Crazy Stone", but now he has directly risen to the protagonist?
  This kind of leap is too big.
  Seeing Lin Zhehua's nervousness, Chen Hui next to him comforted him.
   "I am very happy to work together."
  Speaking, Chen Hui extended a hand to Lin Zhehua.
  Lin Zhehua shook hands with Chen Hui in a daze. It was only then that his heart finally became calmer.
  ……
In the end, with everyone’s efforts, the script was completely finalized, and then it was the matter of setting up the crew. However, as an investor, Chen Feng did not want to participate in specific details. These matters were left to the director and production-related matters. The staff can.
Liu Qiangwei and Mai Zizhao were together, and they had a few detailed talks with Chen Feng. Seeing that the script has been finalized, the two leading actors have been finalized, and one of them is still an actor-level actor like Chen Hui, Liu Qiangwei is finally relieved , Began to devote himself to work seriously.
  Finally, the director of the film decided to be co-directed by Liu Qiangwei and Mai Zizhao. After all, Mai Zizhao is a screenwriter and has been a good friend with Liu Qiangwei for many years. The two of them will work together and the effect will definitely be better.
And the specific matters of setting up the crew are left to Liu Qiangwei and Mai Zizhao, who have been in the film and television circles for many years ~ EbookFREE.me~ experience is even more abundant than Ni Hao. , They can easily complete many things, and the construction of the crew is very fast.
  In terms of actors, Chen Feng recommended two more people, one is Wang Xu from Tailang Entertainment, who will play the role of Lin Zhehua in his youth. Not to mention, the two of them look alike with makeup.
  After all, handsome people are mostly similar, and people who are not handsome have their own ugliness...
Another actor recommended by Chen Feng is Fan Weide... Brother Biao... Ever since I saw him for the first time, Chen Feng has always felt that this actor is very good. Moreover, Chen Feng has also watched his movies. The most important thing is that Chen Feng can always see the shadow of Brother Chen in the film in his dream world from Fan Weide.
The role of Brother Chen in "Infernal Affairs" is a very important character and must be supported by an old drama.
  After all, the first scene of the opening was Chen Ge’s solo show. Once this character stands, the whole film can unfold more smoothly.
   Liu Qiangwei and Mai Zizhao soon followed Chen Feng’s request and worked hard to hire people.
  Wang Xu is fortunate to say, after all, he is from Tailang Entertainment.
  And when Fan Weide heard that it was a new film invested by Chen Feng, and that Chen Hui appeared in it, he accepted it without hesitation.
  It seems that the progress of the crew is still very smooth!
