Chapter 1126: Director Ning
The yellowish leaves always give people a sense of depression. But Yanjing is getting more and more crowded and hurried, but there is no loneliness that is not as good as winter, but it seems very noisy.
The intersection of an alley in Houhai. Yang Dongxu got out of the car and Wang Sheng and a few people followed him, walked into the alley, and then came to a relatively quiet tavern.
Some people like the bustle of the metropolis, and naturally some people like to hide and play a little mood. For example, in the tavern in front of you, although the interior decoration is not as exaggerated as following the retro route, the bonsai and porcelain do make people feel some cultural atmosphere. And not the lights of Sanlitun.
"What's the matter with calling me over in such a hurry?Is there anything you can't say at home?" Yang Dongxu came to the table and sat down.
Naturally, his aunt Ran Feifei and Yu Feihong sat beside him, and Jiang Wen and a man he didn't know were sitting next to him.
Since the last time Ran Feifei drank too much and was brought back to the big courtyard by Yang Dongxu, she seems to be tired of the craftsmanship of the chef of Yang's family banquet. In the past few days, Ran Feifei has lived in the big courtyard and asked Aunt Hua to cook some home-cooked food.
"Jiang Wen's friend Ning Hao is a rookie director. The director's works have also won some awards before, and I have a good script in my hand and want to find investment, so I called you to come and take a look. "Ran Feifei is obviously not very polite to Yang Dongxu, especially when she gathers in private, she doesn't have to protect the face of Yang Dongxu, the big boss, or anything.
Hearing his aunt's words, Yang Dongxu was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Jiang Wen next to him with a puzzled expression.
Because Jiang Wen is now a contracted director of Huayi Company, since his friend's script is good. First of all, it should be recommended to Huayi instead of looking for yourself through Ran Feifei.
"I'm leaving Huayi. Seeing Yang Dongxu's doubts, Jiang Wen explained.
Yang Dongxu, who was originally puzzled, showed a look of sudden realization, although he was basically a hands-off shopkeeper in Haina Entertainment's affairs. But he still knows a little about things in the circle.
For example, in the past two years, Huayi Company has made a lot of money by relying on Feng Xiaocang's New Year films. And Jiang Wen, the guy who was the director, made those films that everyone in the circle knows that it is okay to use them as teaching materials, but they are basically a pit in the market.
In addition, Hua Yi signed Jiang Wen at the beginning, in addition to taking a fancy to his directorial talent, it was because he came out of the compound. It has a certain influence in the Beijing circle, and Huayi, which has just been established, needs people very much.
And now Huayi has gained a firm foothold with the Chinese New Year film, Jiang Wen said that even though his directorial career was temporarily blocked, he still devoted himself to being a director and didn't like acting very much. Even if he acts, he likes to direct and act by himself, which undoubtedly leads to a contradiction between the two sides.
So since he is ready to break up with Huayi, at this time, he is recommending his friend's script to Huayi to invest, which is undoubtedly a bit of a chinchiller.
"What type of movie has a script?" Yang Dongxu asked.
"Bring, bringing. Ning Hao nodded hurriedly and said.
Compared with Director Ning, who is one of the most famous in China in later generations, the current Ning Hao is just a newcomer. In fact, just now Ran Feifei said that his director's work won the award, which actually made him a little embarrassed.
Because the quality of the works he directed is indeed very good. But he only won a campus director award, and some artistic film industry awards were shortlisted, and he didn't get any important awards.
After taking the script handed over by Ning Hao, Yang Dongxu glanced at the name of the movie, and his eyes couldn't help but pause. Then he couldn't help but glance up at Ning Hao, when Ning Hao felt that his throat was a little dry and he didn't know what to say. Bow your head and start reading the script.
When Ran Feifei introduced Ning Hao just now, he felt that this name was very familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while. But when I saw "Crazy Stone" on the script.
He remembered that this Ning Hao was not a great director in later generations, and he directed a lot of popular and popular movies. However, he had only heard of this name, as if he had seen Ning Hao's photos when he was on the Internet that day.
It's just that he can't remember what he looked like, so he glanced up at Ning Hao, and then recalled that he really didn't have any impression, after all, too much time had passed.
However, the name 'Ning Hao' matches the script in front of him. The Ning Hao in front of him is the big director he knows, and Ning Hao shouldn't have run away.
After a rough look at the content of the script, there was no difference between the content of the script and the "Crazy Stone" in his memory, so he was basically sure.
It was quiet in the tavern, and after knowing that Yang Dongxu had read the script, everyone was obviously relieved. Then she looked at him nervously.
"How much investment do you want?" this is the first sentence of Yang Dongxu after reading the script.
Ning Hao, who was originally nervous, instantly had an excited look on his face, and he said very excitedly: "3 million is good." ”
Yang Dongxu didn't speak, just looked at Ning Hao like this.
This made the look on Ning Hao's face gradually solidify, and then swallowed his saliva to moisten his somewhat dry throat, "That...... Or two...... Two and a half million is fine, no matter how little, it really doesn't work, even if the shooting effect is not very good. ”
"No, you're mistaken. That's 3 million, but the producer must be Haina's people, and of course, the project establishment and later release are also Haina's. Yang Dongxu looked at Ning Hao in a daze just now, not that he felt that the investment that Ning Hao said was too high.
But it feels too low, after all, as an invisible super-rich, the investment he decided to make was at least tens of millions of dollars. He really didn't know how long he hadn't done this kind of small investment of 3 million, so he was a little stunned.
And in addition to this, there is another reason to be stunned. He vaguely remembered that this "Crazy Stone" seemed to be doing well at the box office.
Although I can't remember the specific number, according to the current situation of the domestic film market. If it can be rated as a movie with a good box office, why does it need 20 million to make a foundation?
The investment of 3 million, of course, there may be some overruns, but it will definitely not exceed the investment of 4 million. The box office return of 20 million, this is just the box office, if you add some other peripheral income, it is a typical example of a small and large amount.
Although this is a small and large, there is not much benefit in some of the small and large projects that Yang Dongxu is currently undertaking. But there are too many things that can make money, and there are too many things that are sick in the head.
"Yes, yes. Ning Hao almost jumped up with excitement, before he came, he was actually ready to have the investment amount cut by the other party, and even the crew and actors were ready to keep stuffing people in. After all, the domestic film industry investor is the uncle, and such things are not uncommon.
didn't expect that the other party only needed a producer, and the others didn't seem to want to intervene, and the investment they wanted was not discounted at all.
As for the establishment and issuance of the project. This was originally the reason why Ning Hao asked Ran Feifei for help. Without the help of the film company to set up the project and distribute it, can Ning Hao see the things he filmed by himself?
So all my requirements can be said to have been met by the other party, and I haven't made any excessive demands on the other side. This made the excited Ning Hao slowly start to feel a little uneasy.
"The ......," he rubbed his hands nervously.
"Oh, the director's fee, right? You can choose two plans, one is to give you money according to the market price, and the other is that you take a share of the box office. But you are a rookie director, and the director fee will not be given to you in my aunt's face. But the box office share certainly can't be too high for you. Yang Dongxu said.
"No, no. I don't want a director's fee, you can invest in my script, I can shoot it for free. I'm talking about that...... That ......"
"Oh, what is that?" Yang Dongxu was a little surprised when he heard the other party say that it was free, but it was normal to think about it. After all, a rookie director, it is already a great gain to be able to shoot his work and give it a chance to prove it.
"It's an actor or something......" Ning Hao blushed a little.
After all, this requirement is actually a bit excessive, but when he wrote this script, he actually already had some candidates for the role in his mind. And he felt that those roles were very suitable, although it was inappropriate to ask for such a request at this time.
But most directors have obsessive-compulsive disorder, that is, some roles are not the actors they want to perform, and they must feel awkward. It's just that the more mature the director, the more he knows how to compromise.
"You have the right candidate, you can call the shots, but report to Haina first. If you think they're a good fit, come up with the right reasons for Heiner to agree. ”
Although Yang Dongxu knew that this movie would be popular, he knew that Ning Hao would become a big director in the future. But in business, he can't come to the suspicious person as soon as he comes up, and he doesn't need to use the full support of the person.
Even if he was willing, it would probably frighten Ning Hao and make him even more uneasy. I wonder if Yang Dongxu is trying to plot against him, after all, there is no free lunch in the world.
"Okay, okay, the people I chose are really suitable, and they will definitely satisfy you. Ning Hao was happy to go to heaven.
Although no definite answer was given. But he knew that the other party was already very generous, and this was probably given by Ran Feifei's face. Otherwise, he would rather be a rookie director who is not well-known, why should people be so generous to him?
"Okay, take the script and go to Haina, I'll say hello over there. If it's okay, I'll go first, I'll have a meeting in the afternoon. Yang Dongxu put the script on the table and looked at Ran Feifei.
"Go ahead and get your hands dirty. Ran Feifei nodded.
Yang Dongxu was embarrassed to say hello to Yu Feihong and Jiang Wen: "I'll invite you to dinner and get together again when I have time." ”
After saying that, he got up and left, he really had something. Hurricane Construction has already come up with a plan to acquire Xinghai Hotel and Sanwan Travel Agency, and he needs to hold a meeting with the company's senior management to discuss it.
After all, the acquisition of equity replacement is not the end of his shares for Li Fuzhen. Rather, the shares to be replaced need to be shared equally by the company's shareholders, and with Hurricane Construction's current assets of hundreds of billions, every decimal point is a lot of money.
"Your nephew's business is not small, isn't it?" Jiang Wen asked curiously after glancing at the few bodyguards who were leaving behind Yang Dongxu.
"He is the boss of Yang Jiayan, and I am just a part-time worker. He is also a shareholder of Haina. Ran Feifei said.
That's why I said the last sentence, which was to reassure Ning Hao. Jiang Wen and the others didn't know Yang Dongxu's identity, and today Jiang Wen brought Ning Hao over and actually wanted to ask her if she could invest in this movie.
Because he heard that Yu Feihong and Ran Feifei want to invest in making movies by themselves, they should have money in their hands, and he is really optimistic about this script. As for the issuance, he originally planned to find a way after the investment.
It's just that what I didn't expect was that Ran Feifei felt good after reading the script, but she was just curious to play Feihong's movie. I didn't plan to make money with this, so I called Yang Dongxu over.
It's just that she was a reassuring pill, and Jiang Wen almost choked a few people to eat. That's Haina, looking at the whole country, and even looking at the world, it can be said that it is the number one giant company, especially in Asia, which is a hegemon-level existence.
Yang's family banquet is Yang Dongxu's is enough to surprise them, after all, it is a well-known catering company in the mainland. Although they don't know how much Yang Jiayan's assets are, they are sure that they are a safe billionaire.
But I didn't expect that the other party was a young billionaire and a shareholder of Haina. As insiders, they really have a sense of déjà vu to worship the boss.
"Alright, that's all for today's meeting. I made an appointment with Fei Hong to go to the spa, so I won't accompany you. Ran Feifei said.
Although she and Yu Feihong hit it off at first sight, they were very right, and their tempers became sisters. Then through Yu Feihong, I met Jiang Wen and Uncle Ge and others. But the relationship with Jiang Wen and others is not as good as with Yu Feihong, so naturally I don't want to say too much about Yang Dongxu.
