This time, without Zhang Ping's unreasonable antics, both sides talked very happily.
In the end, the budget for this film was set at 180 million chinese yuan, with Su Yu and Tianxing Entertainment as investors, and Zhang Guoshi, as the director, taking a 10% share of the box office.
Su Yu, including the 5% share for the script, ended up with a 50% investment stake, while Tianxing Entertainment held 40%.
This was a basic operation, but it left Zhang Guoshi stunned.
Was Su Yu really not afraid of risk? Tens of millions of chinese yuan were invested without batting an eye?
How much confidence did he have in this film?!
On the contrary, he, the director, suddenly felt a bit of pressure.
It seemed he would have to put all his energy into filming this movie, otherwise, he would truly be letting Su Yu down.
This time, the film's producer was Ren Nanbei, who, along with Zhang Guoshi, was responsible for the film's preparation and subsequent filming.
Ren Nanbei didn't say anything about this; anyway, he didn't have any major projects on hand, so he might as well devote himself entirely to this big-budget film.
180 million chinese yuan! This was the highest investment cost for a film by Tianxing Entertainment.
lost in thailand, which made Tianxing Entertainment a huge profit, only cost less than 50 million to produce.
If the box office doesn't reach 600 million this time, it will be difficult to break even, right? Ren Nanbei was also under immense pressure.
The script had been submitted for review and Filing before, but due to the New Year holiday, no results had been returned yet.
Moreover, there were too many metaphors in the script of this film, and Ren Nanbei felt that it would not be so easy to pass the review.
They might even be asked to take it back and revise the script!
But now, it was unknown; they would have to wait until after the seventh day of the new year, when work resumed, to get an answer.
After talking with Zhang Guoshi and others, Su Yu went to the Music Department.
At this time, quite a few lyricists and composers were already at work in the Music Department.
The reason was simple: in Zhang Xiaohan's album this time, Su Yu needed to select five songs from the company's Music Department's lyricists and composers!
This was a big deal for the company's lyricists and composers.
Seeing Su Yu's individual works dominate the music scene, these lyricists and composers who were hiding behind Su Yu and enjoying the benefits still felt very uncomfortable.
Because if this continued, they wouldn't have many opportunities to make a name for themselves.
But now it was good; Su Yu finally remembered them!
So this time, no matter what, they had to produce works that would satisfy Su Yu.
"There are already more than ten finished songs. Listen to them. I think a few of them are quite good and very suitable for Zhang Xiaohan to sing."
Li Dayue saw Su Yu come in, put down his monitoring headphones, and said.
This year, he, the soon-to-retire music director, had finally gotten his due.
After all, he had successfully won the Huayin Award for Best Album Producer.
When talking outside, he spoke with a bit more confidence.
"Alright, I'll listen right here. You guys continue recording songs; don't mind me." Su Yu waved his hand, sat down, and began listening to the songs.
This scene made the lyricists and composers who saw it a little nervous, like students waiting for a teacher's grades, each one anxious yet full of anticipation.
Time passed minute by minute, and Su Yu listened to these songs carefully and attentively.
And from time to time, he would also record something in a notebook.
But no one dared to disturb him; they could only wait nervously.
More than an hour later, seeing Su Yu take off his headphones, Li Dayue asked expectantly, "How is it?"
"Put these three songs in Zhang Xiaohan's album. As for the latter few, one for Bi Huo, two for Xue Qing, and one for SSR Girl Group!"
Su Yu tore off the sheet of paper with his notes and handed it to Li Dayue.
He felt that the lyricists and composers in the Music Department were truly growing! At least the six songs he selected had all reached the standard of golden lyricists and composers.
However, the lyricists and composers who wrote them were currently only intermediate or advanced lyricists and composers.
It seemed their potential was quite huge!
The remaining content was some of Su Yu's opinions on the songs that were not selected.
"Alright!" Li Dayue chuckled and left with the paper.
There were still many lyricists and composers waiting for news outside, so he naturally wouldn't keep them in suspense.
At that time, he would praise those who deserved praise and criticize those who deserved criticism! That way, they would be more motivated.
Then, a burst of exclamations came from the Music Department; it was clear that this result was something these lyricists and composers had not expected.
More than ten songs, and six were selected at once! The selection rate was quite high.
Moreover, Su Yu also gave his own revision opinions for the songs that were not selected, which was what made these lyricists and composers even more excited.
Given Su Yu's current standing in the music industry, he was qualified to guide lyricists and composers in their creations anywhere.
Of course, they would not take Su Yu's opinions lightly, but would seriously revise them according to his suggestions.
These were all opportunities!
If they seized it, they might very well enter Su Yu's sight. If they didn't? Then they couldn't blame anyone else.
From the third to the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Su Yu would visit Tianxing Entertainment's Music Department every day.
During these days, the lyricists and composers in the Music Department were also at their most motivated.
It wasn't until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year that Su Yu finally selected the remaining five songs for Zhang Xiaohan's album, and then paused the new song solicitation.
Of course, this conclusion did not mean they would stop accepting new songs.
Next, there was the Cool Fire Combination's album to be released, and the lyricists and composers in the Music Department could submit suitable works to Li Dayue for a period of time in the future.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Su Yu met Director Zhao Xiaolu, who had returned from abroad, and the two lead actors, Liu Ruyan and Li Enjun.
Director Zhao Xiaolu's self-written and self-directed film beautiful fate finally officially wrapped up on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.
They had just returned from Maple Leaf Country and immediately rushed to meet Su Yu.
While exchanging New Year greetings, they naturally also discussed the release of the film.
This was Director Zhao Xiaolu's first time personally directing a major film, and she was very serious and cautious about every single detail.
Moreover, because it was shot and edited simultaneously, the editing was almost completed when the filming wrapped up, and beautiful fate was already a finished film.
At this moment, in the living room of the Su family, everyone was watching this freshly released romance film that had no kissing, no confessions, no 'I love you's, and no sex scenes!
Although it was her first time directing, Director Zhao Xiaolu's control over the plot was very precise.
Moreover, every scene and shot was very delicate; perhaps this was the advantage of a female director?
And the performances of the male lead Li Enjun and the female lead Liu Ruyan also made Su Yu nod repeatedly.
Although this film had some changes from the original version on Earth, its quality was definitely not an issue.
In fact, due to sufficient funding, the visual quality was even better.
"Director Zhao, when do you plan to release it?" Su Yu looked at Director Zhao Xiaolu and asked for her opinion.
The completion time of this film was a bit awkward; if it could have been earlier, perhaps it could have aimed for the Spring Festival.
Although this year's Spring Festival was filled with bad films, the box office was truly not low.
The highest-grossing film, after five days of release, had already earned over 300 million at the box office.
This also indicated that Blue Star China's film market was truly beginning to flourish...
