Chapter 778: Wu Jianye wants to be a rule-maker (4000+ chapters, ask for subscription~)
Why did Standard Chartered Bank lend to the new United Cinema Line in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai?
In fact, Yan Wen also personally called Wu Jianye to ask this question.
"First of all, Standard Chartered Bank is a mature commercial bank, he should have his own operating model, although the new United Cinema Line has no money, but they have land, there are ready-made theaters, these are good collateral, so there is no reason why Standard Chartered Bank should not lend to each other. ”
This is Wu Jianye's words to Yan Wen at that time, in fact, Wu Jianye still has a lot of words that he did not tell Yan Wen, regardless of whether the new United Cinema Line has the ability to repay this loan, those theaters in their hands will slowly increase in value in the next few years, even if the United Cinema Line has no money to repay this loan in the end, those lands are enough to make up for the loss of Standard Chartered Bank, and even make a lot of money.
"If you want to let those moviegoers who have passed back to the cinema, it is not enough to rely on Fengge Cinema Line. Wu Jianye, this is what he said in response to Huang Jianxin's question.
"Now Fengge Cinema Line has only set up its own theaters in 25 cities across the country, and although it will slowly set up its own cinema lines in other cities in the future, it is still not enough to rely on Fengge Cinema Line alone, which requires more cinema companies to participate in order to complete. ”
"As for the issue of the New United Cinema Line fighting with us, it is actually very understandable, even if they make the same lottery event, but between the theaters of the New United Cinema Line and the Fengge Cinema Line, if you choose, which theater will you choose to go to the movies?"
Huang Jianxin said with a smile: "Of course it's our Fengge Cinema, a movie ticket is more than two yuan, but the enjoyment of the two places is completely different!"
For the decoration of the style theater, Huang Jianxin participated in the whole process, and he also went to inspect the old movie theaters, so he is very confident, under the same conditions, he must go to the style theater!
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "It's actually no problem for you to think like this, but don't forget, your current net worth naturally doesn't care about those two yuan, but it doesn't mean that others won't care, it's rare to watch movies alone, some are in love, and some are family, these add up to not as simple as two yuan." ”
Huang Jianxin nodded, "At this point, I didn't expect that the average salary now is only three or four hundred yuan, and it adds up to several yuan, and indeed some people will save this money!"
Wu Jianye continued to laugh and said: "I have heard such a story, a world-renowned performer, every time he performs, every time he performs, he is hard to find, everyone is praising his level is the top in the world, and this performer also thinks so, but once this musician ran to the subway station on a whim, after putting on makeup, like a homeless man, standing in the underground passage of the subway station like his own performance on the stage, playing his most proud work, guess what the result is?"
Huang Jianxin thought for a moment and said, "There must be a lot of spectators!"
Wu Jianye shook his head and said, "Then you are wrong, in fact, when he played, not many people stopped to watch his performance, and he was like an ordinary performer, where he didn't earn a few dollars a day." ”
Huang Jianxin looked at Wu Jianye in surprise, "No!"
Wu Jianye smiled, how could it not, he had seen this video.
"In fact, no matter what you do, you need a suitable platform, and the same is true for us to make movies, the whole of China is our stage, if there is only Fengge Cinema Line, a successful theater company, on this stage, it is impossible to cultivate an era of moviegoers, only a lot of theater companies work together to really make the movie a leisure place that ordinary people can think of in their leisure time. ”
Huaxia is a vast land, and it is impossible for a Fengge cinema chain to really bring all the movie audiences who have passed back to the cinema.
The most important point is that if there are no movie theaters, but there are no good movies, it is even more impossible.
What Wu Jianye has to do now is to use the films of Tangting Culture and Fengge Cinema to find a way out for the domestic film studios and private film companies, so that they can see how Tangting Culture can make money from movies.
And nowadays, no matter which film studios or film companies they are, to be honest, they are all petty fights, and a movie only invests more than one million, how can such a movie attract audiences?
This also led to the fact that in the mid-to-late 90s, the box office records of Chinese movies were all held by Hong Kong films and Hollywood films.
Now that the changed (3) document has been issued, whether it is a film studio, a film company, or a distribution company, they are all seeking a way to save themselves, and Wu Jianye has now made a way for them to save themselves.
Make movies that people like to see, so that you can make money, and after earning money, you can shoot more high-quality movies, improve your shooting equipment and a series of things.
To put it simply, Wu Jianye wants to make Tangting Culture and Fengge Cinema Line the guiding light of the domestic film industry, rather than making Tangting Culture the only part of Chinese films!
Monopolizing this industry may be able to maximize the benefits for Tangting Culture and Fengge Cinema Line, but only when all flowers bloom is really beneficial to this industry!
After Huang Jianxin heard Wu Jianye's thoughts, he couldn't help but say, "Director Wu, I really didn't expect you to have such a big heart!"
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "It's a bit too much to say that I am open-minded, I just hope that Chinese movies can become an important part of our country's cultural output like Hollywood movies!"
Huang Jianxin nodded and said, "I know how to do it!"
Wu Jianye shook his head and said with a smile: "No, you don't know yet, let's develop slowly, maybe you will be really clear in the future!"
There were some things that Wu Jianye didn't say.
The rise of an industry is bound to be accompanied by bloody storms, maybe there will be no real blood in it, but its tragedy must not be seen by outsiders.
Wu Jianye is not afraid of fair competition, and if he can, he will even support some filmmakers or theaters.
But just like Wu Jianye's character, he allows a hundred flowers to bloom in the film industry, but he definitely does not allow people who break the rules to stir up trouble in this industry.
What Wu Jianye wants to do is to make the rules of this industry in the people!
This is Wu Jianye's ultimate goal.
Huang Jianxin left Wu Jianye's office and continued to work on the promotion of the release of "The World of Chu Xing", and Wu Jianye also received a call from China Film Liu Jianshe at this time.
"Senior brother, what are you busy with?"
The establishment of Fengge Cinema Line has made Wu Jianye's status in the domestic film industry soar again, of course, this status is not visible to outsiders, and only a few people who know Wu Jianye's details can see it.
Liu Jianshe is one of them, although he sees that it is still not all, but it is enough.
So now when Liu Jianshe and Wu Jianye are on the phone, their attitude has also changed a lot, and the tone of discussion is the mainstay!
"What about the company, what instructions does the senior brother have?" Wu Jianye said with a smile, his attitude has always been the same, no matter what, the size of Zhongying in the future is still very fearful, not to mention that he is still a state-owned company, in the final analysis, Wu Jianye is a citizen, and Zhongying is an official.
Wu Jianye needs to maintain a good cooperative relationship with China Film all the time, which is the most beneficial thing for Wu Jianye.
"There are no instructions, how about it? Is there time, let's meet the two of us!" Liu Jianshe said with a smile.
"Of course I have time, otherwise I'll go to the company to find you?" Wu Jianye asked.
"Forget about the company, I know that a new restaurant has recently opened in Haidian, and it tastes very good, where are we going to sit?" Liu Jianshe asked Wu Jianye's opinion.
"I'm fine, then we'll see you after work later!" Wu Jianye smiled.
"Okay, you can remember the address......." After Liu Jianshe said an address, the two hung up the phone.
It's now more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and there are still a few hours before the end of work, Wu Jianye is not in a hurry to pass, he originally wanted to take advantage of this time to revise the script of the new movie, but Jiang Qian ran to the court to come over.
The filming of "Yanjing People in New York" in New York has ended, and Jiang Qian and others have also returned to Yanjing.
In fact, the post-production team of Yanjing people in New York is now in Tangting Culture, and is intensively doing the post-production of "Yanjing people in New York".
During this time, Zheng Xiaolong and Feng Pants almost lived in the court culture.
"Why did you have time to come over today?" Wu Jianye asked curiously.
Jiang Qian was wearing a leather jacket, took off her sunglasses, and said with a grin: "I'm here to ask for money!"
Wu Jianye smiled: "I don't remember that I owe you money!"
Jiang Qian shook his head, ignored Wu Jianye's jokes, and said seriously: "I'm ready, the movie is about to start preparing!"
Wu Jianye then remembered that Jiang Qian was about to officially start filming his first movie "Sunny Days".
It's just that in another time and space, Jiang Qian won't officially shoot "Sunny Days" until next year, is he ahead of schedule or what's wrong?
"Why have you already found the front and back of the movie?" asked Wu Jianye.
Jiang Qian shook his head and said, "There are screenwriters and directors now, and I haven't found anything else!"
Wu Jianye: "......"
However, Wu Jianye didn't ask much, everyone is in this business, and naturally understands that the preparatory stage of the movie has actually begun to spend money, Jiang Qian got the promise of investment in Wu Jianye before, and now he is preparing to start filming, so he naturally came to ask for money.
This is also in line with Jiang Qian's character.
In another time and space, Jiang Qian's filming of "Sunny Days" was an investment made by Liu Xiaoqing to help him connect with Wen Fatzi in Xiangjiang, although Wen Fatzi invested some funds at that time, but Jiang Qian's speed of burning money was not at all something that Wen Fatzi could bear alone.
Later, Liu Xiaoqing's memories could only mention that during the filming of the movie, Jiang Qian only called her, just two words: make money!
By the way, the two had already broken up at that time.
At this time, although there were also tears in the breakup of celebrities, most of them were broken up by He Ping, Zhang Jianya and Zhang Yu are a couple, Jiang Qian and Liu Xiaoqing are also a couple.
Later, Liu Xiaoqing went in because of that incident, and Jiang Qian was the first to see her.
"What's the budget for the movie?" Wu asked.
"Five million!" Jiang Qian said directly.
Wu Jianye nodded, according to Jiang Qian's character, the money spent on this movie, five million will definitely be unstoppable, in fact, although Jiang Qian is not a prolific film director, but his degree of money burning is definitely the top director in China.
Almost every one of his films is over budget, and investing in Jiang Qian's movies must have a big heart.
However, Wu Jianye didn't say anything, and said with a smile: "Okay, you can go directly to Huang Jianxin for this matter, and after signing a contract with the company, the company will immediately set up a special fund depositor for you!"
There is a special fund account for the start of filming of every movie, which is the rule of court culture, even Jiang Qian's movies will not be an exception!
Jiang Qian never thought that he was a rookie director, and the investment in the first film exceeded four or five times the current domestic film investment, anyway, now he is counting five million, so he will open his mouth to ask for five million.
"That's okay, I'll go find Huang Jianxin now, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first, and the actors behind the scenes must be settled first!" Jiang Qian hurriedly asked to leave again.
Wu Jianye smiled and waved his hand, his understanding of Jiang Qian's personality let him know that Jiang Qian's head must be all his movies at this time, and there is nothing else.
After Jiang Qian left, Wu Jianye continued to revise his script, and it was not until half past five in the afternoon that Li Na came to remind Wu Jianye that it was almost time.
Sitting in the car, Wu Jianye smiled, although Yanjing at this time did not want to be so prosperous in later generations, but there is an advantage that future generations cannot experience, that is, there is no traffic jam!
If Wu Jianye wants to go to the appointment after the next generation, if it is set at six o'clock, it will be early to go out at five o'clock!
When Wu Jianye arrived at the hotel, he saw that Liu Jianshe was already waiting for him here.
"I'm sorry, the company is a little delayed, how can I let you wait for me, senior brother!" Wu Jianye joked.
Liu Jianshe also laughed and said, "Okay, don't meet me like this, besides, you're not late, it's just that I arrived early!"
After the two exchanged pleasantries, they sat down, and Wu Jianye took the lead and said, "Senior brother, I'm afraid you didn't bring me any good news when you came to me this time!"
Liu Jianshe smiled: "You really guessed correctly, it's really not good news!"
