Chapter 282: Four parties gather together
China Film Building.

Han Sanping's office.

"It was still Brother Chen who took care of us and called us all over, hahahaha."

Director Ren sat on the sofa and laughed wildly.

Han Sanping glanced at this guy who was making indirect accusations and didn't want to pay any attention to him.

Chen An smiled and glanced at the speechless Brother Han, then said, "No, no, no, we can only make money if we all work together. I've done some calculations here, and the total production budget is about 45 million US dollars. Most of the money is spent on special effects. I have already contacted the Hollywood production team."

"It has to be Brother Chen, he's reliable."

Director Zhang was also smiling. When he heard Chen An’s call about another project, he came over without stopping.

Han Sanping snorted coldly, "Don't think too highly of yourself, China Film Group will take 20% of the profits."

"Can you eat it?"

Director Ren didn't care at all. Shanghai Film Group had plenty of money, but China Film Group was not having a good time recently.

"Don't worry about that. I can eat it if I tell it to you."

Han Sanping had a tough attitude and didn't want to talk nonsense with the other party.

Seeing that the two were about to fight, Chen An quickly spoke up to stop them: "10% of the project belongs to the Space Agency, as a reward for their help."

Except for Han Sanping, the other two people became even more interested when they heard the news. Even the Space Administration is here?
It must be a big scene that requires their participation.

"So." Chen An paused and said, "I'll pay 20 million US dollars and take 50%. You can choose for yourselves. If you can't eat it, throw it all away."

Without hiding anything, Chen An directly stated his thoughts.

I will definitely have to eat half of it, and I definitely won't get any of the director's salary. If I include my own salary as a friendship price, it will have to be increased by another 10 million US dollars, which is already a very good deal.

The others also paused, without any objection.

The other party is also well-known for his price as a Hollywood director, starting at US$2,000 plus commission, which is not the same price as other people in China.

This also means that the remaining three people will take up the extra 25 million premium, and 10% of it will belong to the Space Agency.

But Chen An’s meaning was very clear. He would let you eat it first. If you don’t want it, he would throw it away. Besides, the other party could eat it completely by himself. He was just giving you a chance.

Han Sanping said without thinking: "Forget about it if you don't want to talk. China Film will take the remaining 40%."

Chen An nodded. He was not surprised by Han Sanping's choice.

Unexpectedly, the second person to speak was Director Zhang, "I am not as good as Han Dong. Xiying only has 20% left."

It’s not that he doesn’t want to eat more, but he really has no money.

Director Ren looked at everyone who had spoken, but he still didn't say anything. He had to eat, of course, since there was such an opportunity in front of him, but he was thinking about how much he should eat.

Reason told him that it was a bit irrational to eat too much at a premium, but he wanted to eat all the rest.

"I'll take them all. Brother Chen, you don't have to bother running out anymore. I'll eat the rest!"

Finally, Director Ren made the decision to eat all the leftovers!
Chen An took half of it, and the Space Administration took 10%. The remaining 40% was what they were fighting for, and they had to make up for the Space Administration's share.

The price was seriously overpriced, but in the end no one present wanted to give it up, as they all wanted to eat more.

Even Chen An felt surprised. He was not surprised by Han Sanping's decision, but he did not expect that the remaining two were all eaten up. He did not want to let go even though the premium was so high!
Especially Director Ren, he ate all the leftovers!

"Thank you, Brother Ren." Chen An nodded with a smile: "Actually, there is no need to eat it all. It is better to let some go."

"If you want to make money, make big money. Your project has people all over the country wanting to get involved. This only comes once every few years, so you have to seize the opportunity."

Director Ren shook his head. Since he had made the decision, he would not regret it.

Last time, the two flower art brothers made a profit of almost double the price, so of course they didn’t want to let it go.

This is the first time in the history of domestic films that a space agency has joined the project. It is better to give it a try than to regret it later. Chen An nodded. Let the other party eat as much as he wants. Anyway, he has taken what he should take.

"Then it's settled. We can start preparing for the project. The Space Administration sent us a message yesterday saying that the script has been revised."

The reason why I called these people over was because Lao Liu called me two days ago and said that the script had been revised.

It's time to prepare for the project. First, find the actors and get the props prepared by the space administration. Then send the main actors over for training before we get ready to start.

Han Sanping asked, "Have you found the leading actor?"

"Almost. Zhang Guorong was chosen as the male lead, and now he has returned. In the later stages of making his own movie, the female lead died. When the other actors are selected, they will be sent to the Space Agency for training."

Chen An nodded and only took two places, the meaning was self-evident.

You can divide the rest among yourselves.

Except for Han Sanping, the other two nodded and waited to read the script before making a decision.

"Let's do this for now. I estimate that it will take another half year for the filming to start. The second Batman movie in Hollywood will probably start filming soon. I still have to go over there, so I'll take my time."

Finally, Chen An also said that the machine could not be turned on for the time being.

Not only does it take time to prepare, but there are also things going on in Hollywood. Since I'm taking their money, I still have to do some work.

A fixed salary of 12 million US dollars after tax plus a % share of the box office revenue is also a lucrative project.

"Since there's a sequel coming, I wish Brother Chen great success. The first one was so successful, so the second one will surely be no worse."

When Director Ren heard the news, he smiled and congratulated.

For a sequel movie, as long as the first one is successful, the second one will not be bad either. As for the third one, it depends on the second one.

If the sequel is not good, the audience is not stupid and they will definitely not watch it again.

Chen An nodded and said thank you.

As the saying goes, I made these dumplings just for this dish of vinegar. This time, "Batman: The Dark Knight" is the most important reason for me to shoot this series.

It’s finally my turn. I have to prepare well and firmly secure my position as one of Hollywood’s top directors!

More importantly, I have to take at least 20% of the share from the third part!
"when to go?"

Only Han Sanping cared enough to ask this question.

"Early March." Chen An said, "This time the preparations were very fast. With the experience of the first film, the preparations for the sequel were almost completed in no time. They kept everything in the prop warehouse."

"When I went to give the script last year, they had even rebuilt the house that I had burned and exploded last time. They had been prepared for this and had been looking forward to it for a long time."

Chen An said with a smile on his face, Warner's movements are really damn fast.

"Hahaha, Brother Chen, let's blow it up again this time."

Director Ren laughed and said that since they had already built it, you could just try again. How cool that would be. Anyway, the other party was very rich and didn't say anything after it had been blown up once.

"No need. I had enough fun bombing it once. I'll save it for him this time."

Chen An shook his head, indicating that it was no longer interesting to blast this anymore.

Let’s go big this time!

"Then we have to act quickly and decide on the actors first. You don't have much time." Han Sanping didn't think about those things and felt that they had to act quickly.

Chen An will be leaving in a dozen days, so the preparations can be done slowly and the actors need to be decided first.

After all, he still needs to be taken there for training, which takes time, so it is better to decide this in advance.
