170. Surprised
When the waiter came over and asked what he needed to drink, Ning Yuan smiled and pointed to his thermos cup:
"Bring your own, thank you. ”
Han Ping looked at Ning Yuan's cup: "Your state really doesn't look like your age." ”
After speaking, he glanced at Kang Jianmin and said with a smile: "On the contrary, it feels similar to us." ”
Kang Jianmin laughed: "I told you a long time ago, this kid is a bit of a doorway, sometimes even I can't understand it, but I have to say, it's very reliable." ”
Ning Yuan smiled.
Reliable, people who know themselves say so.
"Director Han, your time is precious, I'll just say it. Ning Yuan looked at him.
Han Ping's demeanor also became focused and nodded.
Ning Yuan said: "I have confidence in our movie, but I don't have confidence in the current domestic viewing environment, I believe that this release in China should not be too smooth, right?"
Han Ping was stunned, but he didn't hide it, and said with a wry smile:
"It's not going well, it's not selling at all, so far, only one is slightly interested, but the price of the copy is very low. ”
When he said that, his legs were no longer bent, and he put it down, with a depressed face.
Ning Yuan nodded, with a look of no surprise, and then said:
"The situation in our country today is actually similar to that of the neon country a few decades ago, because of the hectic and fast-paced work, people only want to watch some movies to pass the time, which we call 'cool' for the time being. But now the neon country, after experiencing the fast pace of these decades, their economy has begun to decline, and people's work and life have slowed down, but they need this kind of warm and fresh movies to heal. ”
The word 'healing' has a new meaning in the future, which makes Han Ping and Kang Jianmin listen thoughtfully.
Ning Yuan continued: "Actually, the literary film market in the neon country is much better than ours, as early as a few decades ago, "Kyoto Story" and "Seven Samurai" began to slowly cultivate the interest of their audiences, such as their "Kikujiro's Summer", which was nominated for Best Film in Cannes this year, is somewhat similar to our drama, and their results are also good. ”
Han Ping looked at Ning Yuan with a puzzled expression: "Then why did they only give 60,000?"
Ning Yuan secretly complained in his heart, no wonder many people said at that time that you understand movies but don't understand business operations, and you are not good at investment, you can't understand this?
But Ning Yuan wouldn't say that, and after thinking about it, he said:
"I'm going to buy your stuff, the cheaper the better, of course. ”
Han Ping immediately understood, and when he turned his head, he was greeted by Kang Jianmin's smiling face.
Ning Yuan didn't dare to laugh at him, but Kang Jianmin didn't have this burden, they were both directors of the film factory, and they had a relationship for so many years.
"Isn't it funny?" glared at Kang Jianmin angrily, pointed at him and asked Ning Yuan:
"You told this guy before, you help sell, how do you do it?"
Ning Yuan said: "Take the road of account sharing, the more you sell, the higher the income. ”
Saying that, Ning Yuan said curiously: "Haven't you mentioned this plan on the Neon Country's side? ”
Han Ping and Kang Jianmin glanced at each other, and the expression on their faces became strange, and then Kang Jianmin pointed at Han Ping and said:
"The neon country proposed to divide the account from the beginning, but this guy disagreed, saying that 60,000 is better than nothing. ”
Ning Yuan's heart is really still you, but this also makes Ning Yuan feel that he has said too much before, in case this guy thinks that it is good to divide the account, then what is the matter with himself?
But after thinking about it, if Ning Yuan hadn't said that before, with Han Ping's character, I am afraid that he would not agree to divide the account, after all, the decision is in their hands.
At this time, Han Ping frowned and said:
"What Ning Yuan said just now is reasonable, but after all, those are still their own films, I am still worried about whether our films, especially the emotions in this kind of movie, can resonate with them, after all, it involves cultural differences and regional differences, and it is good to understand. ”
Ning Yuan's heart immediately reassured, Lao Han is still the old Han who is not sensitive to business, and he doesn't scatter eagles when he doesn't see rabbits.
That's easy to do.
Sure enough, Han Ping said to Ning Yuan: "I mean, this time you go to Neon Country, if you can talk about a higher price, I can give you a commission for the extra part." ”
Ning Yuan had been waiting for his words for a long time, and when he heard this, he shook his head and looked at Han Pingdao:
"Director Han, I mean not to sell out, but to divide the account. ”
Han Ping was stunned, and his brows furrowed again, but he saw that Ning Yuan had something to say, so he didn't rush to speak.
Ning Yuan continued: "I will take this risk. ”
Han Ping and Kang Jianmin were stunned: "What do you mean?"
Ning Yuan said: "Go to the account, if the final income is less than 60,000 US dollars, I will make up for the shortage, but if it is higher than 60,000 US dollars, I will take 10% of the producer's income." ”
At this time, Ning Yuan finally said his purpose.
And Han Ping and the others were stunned for a moment, looking at Ning Yuan with wide eyes.
They had thought about it a lot, but they didn't expect Ning Yuan to have such a plan.
"What is missing, you make up for it?" Han Ping hesitated.
Kang Jianmin also said with an incredulous face: "In other words, you are here to cover a movie with an uncertain future?"
Ning Yuan nodded.
Han Ping and the two looked at each other, how bold is this?
If it is a boss with a lot of money, 60,000 US dollars is nothing, and the loss will be lost, but Ning Yuan, whether he has so much money in his hand is a matter of words.
That's hundreds of thousands of Chinese coins.
You must know that when Han Ping first came to Beijing Film Studio a few years ago, he was settling accounts all day long, looking at how much money was in the account, how much salary was needed, and how much medical expenses were reimbursed.
At the worst time, there were only 270,000 yuan in the account, and the factory would reimburse 400,000 yuan for the medical expenses of the employees a month.
If it weren't for the fact that "Party A and Party B" made a lot of money, Beijing Film Studio is estimated to be inferior to Xiang Film Studio now, and of course, there is no money to invest in this movie.
Han Ping shook his head and said bluntly: "As far as I know, you have made two TV series so far, plus this movie, you don't have so much money in your hands, right?"
Ning Yuan nodded: "It's true, but I can sign a contract with you, in black and white." ”
When Han Ping and the others were stunned, Ning Yuan said: "In this year's time, I have earned more than 100,000 yuan by filming these three dramas, and I have also won awards, I believe that I will earn more in the future, which the two factory directors should not deny." So, don't worry, if you do lose money, I can't afford to pay this money. ”
"Besides, even if I really lose, I won't have no income at all, and I don't have to pay all the money myself. ”
"Are you really so confident in the release of this drama in Neon Country?" Han Ping stared at Ning Yuan suspiciously.
Ning Yuan wouldn't pack a ticket with him this time, and said with a smile:
"Who does business doesn't know the result, but as long as it's possible, you can always try it, otherwise how can there be a high return? I'm still young, and it's not that I can't afford to lose, it's a big deal to work in vain in the next few years, it doesn't matter, but what if it happens?"
These words made Han Ping, who was originally a little confident, suspicious again, and a little uncertain.
