Prodigal System
Chapter 51
"Why?!" Ding Chengzhi was stunned when he heard what Hong Dali said. His classmates were also surprised.
Tang Muxin pulled up Hong Dali's sleeves and said, "Dali, this is 200,000 yuan. And that's just for those who use that song. Why not?"
Two hundred thousand because the license fee is not a small amount. It's not just a monetary transaction. This means that well-known companies like Penghui Films recognize Caiwei Entertainment. This meant that with just one song, Li Nianwei could become a star and no longer be an unknown singer bullied by the others.
But Hong Dali disagreed. No wonder these people were so shocked.
All of that means nothing to the superprodigal Hong Dali. He rubbed his nose and said naturally, "Who knows what kind of standard Wind Pursuer has. I don't want Sister Nianwei's famous song to be destroyed by a bad movie. After all, I'm not short of money."
Normally, even if Ding Chengzhi could not obtain a song to use as the theme song for the film, he would not worry about saving face. "Lightning Pursuit" might be a good song, but he could always find another song, even though the new song might not match. As the saying goes, one can hit his head and bleed, but one cannot lose face. This young lost master actually said that the movie was a bad movie. He can't tolerate this anymore.
Ding Chengzhi desperately said, "Our Wind Pursuer is a blockbuster with over 10 million invested. This is not a bad movie at all. Domestically, the number of films of this caliber is lower than five!"
In this world, a film with a production budget of over 10 million actually became a blockbuster.
When the surrounding classmates heard the production budget, they all took a cold breath at the same time.
What kind of person is Hong Dali? He died on Earth and was reborn into this world. Ten million yuan in this world is only equivalent to 50 million yuan on Earth. That's a nut in the film industry. There was no way this number could scare him. Hong Dali continued to look listless. "It's only 10 million yuan .. Wind Pursuer, it's just that his name sounds like a bad movie …"
Ding Chengzhi was angry. This person in front of him was the young master of the Hong family, his only son and descendant. He was unable to offend this young master. Therefore, he could only try his best to calm down and use his gentle tone to ask Hong Dali, "What would be considered a blockbuster in the opinion of Young Master Dali Young? Ten million is the most we can muster for the production budget."
Hong Dali sniffed. "It looks like your company is just average. Show me the movie first. If it's good, I'll invest another three million yuan. As for the name of the film, Wind Pursuer did not sound impressive at all. What about Gale Flash ? Sounds fine. "
An additional three million yuan investment in the end?
Ding Chengzhi felt his heart could barely accept it. Previously, he had heard that the young master of the Hong Hong Dali family was a lost child. But he was finally able to see it for himself today. Not only is Hong Dali a lost child, but he is also a superprodigal.
To invest three million yuan just like that? The only condition is that they change the title of the movie?
It's like money falling from the sky. There's no way he'll miss it. Ding Chengzhi hurriedly replied, "OK. I'll report to my boss now. Upon my return, I will bring what has been filmed to show you, Young Master Dali. The percentage of profit from the box office will be in accordance with the usual rules, comparable to anything that Young Master Dali invests in. "
Hong Dali shrugged his shoulders. "There's no point in saying any of this. Show me the movie before I decide if it's worth investing in. I may be a lost child, but I will not waste my money. Um, when can I watch a movie?"
As a music producer for Penghui Films, Ding Chengzhi had several privileges. This is a good time to get a bigger investment for the film. He had to do it even if it was beyond his level. He took the USB out of his pocket and said, "Young Master Dali, do you have a computer here? I have a few scenes here. Please look."
Everyone around shook their heads. "No . "
Hong Dali: "Then, buy one. Who's that?" Hong Dali pointed to a minion. "You, come! Get 10,000 yuan and bring back the computer. That must be good. You can keep the change."
"Yes, Young Master!" The errand boy was lucky. Just running errands would give him seven to eight thousand dollars as an allowance. Who could meet such a good opportunity! He disappeared in an instant.
Ling Yi took the opportunity and asked Hong Dali, "Brother Dali, give me a task as well!"
Hong Dali: "There will be a chance for everyone!"
After half an hour .
Hong Dali stared at the computer screen with his mouth agape, almost drooling. "I can tell at a glance that this is a false background. Is this what you're saying is a blockbuster ?!"
"Yes, right. Is something wrong?" Ding Chengzhi wiped the sweat on his forehead. "Our 3D creation team spent over half a month creating the background for this scene. This is the most advanced technology in the country. It might look a bit fake, but not as far as one can tell at a glance, right? "
Hong Dali had seen all sorts of interesting CGI on Earth. Even though the animation looks real, it does not fit in with the surrounding environment at all. Hong Dali grimly said, "This is just a scene that has mountains and rivers. Do you even have to do CGI? Are you kidding me?"
Ding Chengzhi said desperately, "I didn't expect this either. But where can we find a suitable background for this scene? This is the last option. Young Master Dali, do you know? Just this short piece of CGI costs 500,000 yuan! How much 500,000 yuan do we have? "
Hong Dali ignored him and continued his criticism. "The scene is bad, even the storyline is bad. Where are the tides? Where are the interesting parts? The storyline was like a stream, slow and steady. Do you want to make this cradle movie?"
"The story's bad?" Ding Chengzhi tried his best to keep up the show, saying, "This is the best storyline we have. Those who have seen it say it's good!"
I forgot the standard of the entertainment industry in this world. Really troublesome.
Hong Dali continued muttering, "I have high expectations. Its bad. The storyline should be good for making a movie. CGI animation must be flawless and conform to standards. The actors must be beautiful! Just look at this, is this really a movie? "
Ding Chengzhi stubbornly replied, "Yes, of course, right! It's definitely going to be one of the best movies of the year."
Hong Dali firmly said, "I will invest five million yuan! Do as per my instructions. Change anything that can be changed!"
