    On the front page of the document, there are a few big characters written clearly, which is also the name of the movie: 33 Days of Love.

    "Xiaoxia, this is just a small-investment movie! Do you know what its budget is?"

    Stefanie Li asked rhetorically, she was surprised by Xia Fan's choice.

    ¡°I know it¡¯s a low-budget movie, but I don¡¯t know the specific investment.¡± Xia Fan replied truthfully.

    "8 million!" Stefanie Li said word by word, hoping to see disappointment in Xia Fan's eyes.

    However, Xia Fan's expression remained the same, without the slightest hint of movement.

    "The cost is quite low, lower than most TV series."

    "You still want to star?"

    "Act, why don't you act. I think this script is pretty good! It's decided, this movie will be my debut on the big screen!" Xia Fan said decisively.

    He knows very well that this movie has created a box office miracle in another time and space, and its topic was also blown up for a time!

    With a cost of 8 million, it generated a box office of 350 million yuan.

    Generally speaking, the investors and producers of the movie will receive 45% of the box office share, which is about 157.5 million.

    With a mere cost of 8 million, and a box office of 157.5 million, a profit of nearly 20 times is undoubtedly a miracle in the film market.

    At that time, it was not easy for a domestic film to break over 100 million yuan, let alone reach a box office of 350 million yuan. The film market at that time was incomparable with the era when it easily exceeded 100 million yuan ten years later.

    "The scripts of the other two movies are not good, especially the science fiction movie about protecting the earth and fighting aliens!" Stefanie Lai asked with some confusion.

    ¡°I personally don¡¯t dislike science fiction movies, but this one is not my favorite. As for a costume film, although it is also a big investment, the plot is a bit weird, and I don¡¯t like it either.¡±

    Xia Fan replied frankly.

    In that costume movie, the protagonist is a knight who fell in love with one of his concubines while assassinating the tyrant emperor.  In the end, the protagonist killed the tyrant as he wished, and then flew away with the concubine.

    Such a secondary plot made Xia Fan roll his eyes.

    ¡°If the timeline were pushed back 30 years, this kind of movie plot might be popular.

    "You have to be aware that the remuneration for the other two movies is much higher than the one you selected." Stefanie Lai shifted the focus of the chat to the remuneration. After all, no artist does not care about his remuneration.

    "The salary for that science fiction movie was 10 million."

    ¡°The salary for that costume movie was 9 million.¡±

    "The movie you chose, "33 Days Out of Love," only had a box office of 1 million."

    Stefanie Li read it carefully.

    "It's strange" Xia Fan suddenly had some doubts in his heart, "Sister Yan Zi, the investment and remuneration of the movie I chose are not at the same level as those of the two other movies. Why did you choose this one?  Three?"

    Stefanie Lai said with some helplessness: "Originally, the scripts I chose for you were a science fiction film and a costume drama. The film "Love Is Not Blind" was not among my choices."

    "But what?"

    "The director of this film, Teng Tao, is a very close friend of mine. He hopes that you can play the male lead in this drama. However, because the crew's funds are very limited, he can only give you 1 million in compensation."

    "I gave you the script of this movie to give my friend face. If you ultimately reject the movie, I can explain it to this friend."

    ¡°My director friend is very capable, but in the past he mainly worked on TV series, and this time he made a small-budget movie just to try his hand.¡±

    "But I really didn't expect you to choose this movie. Are there really artists in this world who don't love money?"

    Xia Fan finally understood. It turned out that the other party was just going through a formality, and she never expected him to choose his friend's movie.

    Friends are friends, and you should talk about the benefits.

    If Xia Fan only gets a salary of 1 million, the agent's income will be relatively lower.

    "Normally speaking, as a starring role, you should be able to get a profit share of the movie's box office, right?"

    Xia Fan thought about this in silence for a while.

    "This is like trying to make money. Most actors don't care about the profit share of the movie box office, they only care about the basic salary that they can get. The profit share thing is fake. Who knows whether the movie they make can make money?"

    "Actually, there is a high probability that it will still be a loss!"

    "You?I really have no experience in the film market!  "

    Xia Fan waved his hand and smiled calmly: "I have to be a little self-aware. After all, it is my first movie, so I still have to be cautious. I'm afraid I won't be able to sustain a big-investment movie. When the time comes, others will cynicize and say that I don't  Sing well and make some movies"

    "That's true."

    Stefanie Lai also reacted. She is a wise agent who never turns her eyes to money, just like she once helped Xia Fan turn down many meaningless commercial performances.

    He is a 21-year-old rising star singer who will have many opportunities to make money in the future.

    "Movies with big investment also attract a lot of attention. If the performance fails, the audience will laugh at you, which is really uncomfortable." After a pause, Xia Fan continued: "And I briefly watched "33 Days of Love".  The shooting plan is only 20 days.¡±

    "No matter how busy I am, I will definitely have this little time."

    Stefanie Lai could only nod: "Okay, how about I help you get more remuneration, 1.5 million, right? At least 1.2 million."

    Xia Fan waved his hand and said calmly: "One million is just one million. Just add a share of the movie's profits to the cooperation terms."

    "Don't worry, I will definitely add this one. But" Stefanie Lai changed the subject, "This is just a process, and you don't expect to get much."

    Even if she is the most optimistic estimate, even if this movie has bad luck, it will earn at most 20 million at the box office, and the investors will receive 9 million. After deducting the cost price of 8 million, the gross profit will be only about 1 million.

    If Xia Fan gets a 5% profit share, it will only be about 50,000, and this is before tax.

    ?? 50,000, Xia Fan may feel that it is too little to fill his teeth.

    "Sister Stefanie, I'm mainly interested in this movie, and the shooting period is not long. It doesn't matter whether it's money or not. 1 million is enough. I don't want more. As for the profit sharing, it's just a formality.  The crew recognized me as the leading actor."

    "In short, this is the first movie in my life. What matters is not the salary!"

    Xia Fan smiled and said calmly.

    With only a 20-day shooting period, this small-budget film could be a masterpiece, and he was already happy.

    To take a step back, even if this movie fails due to the butterfly effect of parallel time and space, Xia Fan will have nothing to lose.  Because it is a low-cost investment, even if the box office performance is not good, netizens will have nothing to say.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
