In the private room of the Western Restaurant of the Castle Forest Hotel.
“Congratulations to Director Zhang, your “B Area No. 32” has set a number of records, the lowest-cost thriller record, the fastest release record, the highest yield record, and the first movie became an instant hit. Le met Zhang Yong and immediately congratulated him.
“However, “Block B No. 32″ also set the record for the fastest removal this year and the record for the highest refund rate in the history of domestic films. These two figures are also a bit embarrassing.” Zhang Yong actually thought about the film’s achievements. , is very happy, but also said a little modestly.
“Cut, don’t be too hypocritical. Director Zhang, your strength is recognized by several of us. Besides you, who else can make a big movie with 70,000 yuan?” Wang Congcong knows the entertainment circle. There are quite a lot of insiders, and I also know that making movies is a business that burns money. Those well-known directors who make a movie at random are not tens of millions or hundreds of millions, and they are famous for low cost. There is really no precedent.
“Director Zhang, you are really amazing. If you invested a little more in this film, the performance of this film will definitely be better. I am looking forward to your next film. Director Zhang, I said last time. Let us be the main actors of the movie, when will the filming start? As long as you give me a good role, the villa in “No. 32 in Area B” was filmed last time. This time, you can continue to use it casually. We are still waiting to hug your thighs and come out. What’s your name!” Wang Le participated in “Block B No. 32” quite a lot. In this film, the venue was provided by him for free. None of the four actors received a salary, and as for the crew, there was no one at all. The male lead and the director are all in charge. This kind of poor 13 crew is really unheard of and unseen by Wang Le.
“Haha, “Zone B No. 32” can achieve such great results without the support of you, Le Shao and Cong Shao! Come on, let’s cheer! Today, everyone let go of eating, let go Drinking, eating, and drinking are all mine, so it’s a bonus for everyone.” The six raised their glasses and drank, and this time, they finally drank Lafite red wine. Are you drinking white bars in western restaurants?
After thinking about the next step, Zhang Yong said: “I really plan to make another film, but this time I won’t make a film, let’s make a series, so that everyone can perform more. Since Le Shao is willing If we sponsor the venue, then I will laugh at it. But this time, we are not a poor 13 crew. The performance fee, crew salary, and venue rent are all doubled for everyone. These days, low-cost films, It will be looked down upon by others.” Thinking of the performance of the refund rate of “Block B No. 32”, Zhang Yong felt a little chill in his heart, but fortunately the final data of the film was still OK.
“Thank you, Boss Zhang. I, Wang Le (Wang Congcong), have to get the first salary of my life, haha.” In fact, the performance fee doesn’t matter to these two rich young masters, but they can become Big stars, they can still make money with their skills, and the two of them can show off well in their circle of friends.
Du Xiaoli, Yuan Shan, and Yang Mi are also looking forward to the upcoming TV series. Will they finally become stars?
After more than a week of preparation, the urban youth comedy “Love Apartment” edited and directed by Zhang Yong officially started filming. The cost of Zhang Yong’s budget for the first season of “Love Apartment” is about 250,000 yuan per episode, and a total of 20 episodes are planned to be filmed.

The income was used as collateral, and a loan of 2 million yuan was obtained from China Merchants Bank. Now Yongchang Film and Television Co., Ltd. has more than 2 million yuan of funds on its books. This money is enough to shoot several episodes of “Love Apartment”, and Zhang Yong has been solved. of urgent needs. The box office income of a movie is not the final income of the producer. In addition to paying nearly 10% of various taxes, about 70% of it has to be distributed to cinemas, theater chains, and distributors in proportion. This distribution process is still relatively slow. It will take about a month for the box office settlement of “B Area No. 32” to be completed, but by then, Yongchang Film and Television will have more funds.
