488. The method of encircling money
Having said that, if Zhou Fangyuan really wants to make money quickly, the fastest way is tantamount to accepting investment. cop
At present, almost every company under the Yuanfang Group has received investors' intentions, and even the Yuanfang Video Network and Yuanfang Comic Network, which have just been launched, have people who want to invest. As long as Zhou Fangyuan is willing to accept investment, his assets will multiply several times overnight, and at the same time, he will have a large amount of available funds in his hands.
But he was reluctant to do so, and he was reluctant to split his shares to someone else.
This can be said to be Zhou Fangyuan's shortcomings, after all, he is still affected by the four in the previous life, although he himself knows very well that increasing investors, on the one hand, can help the company get a sum of money and develop rapidly, on the other hand, it can also help the company bear risks and pressure. The introduction of investors is not as simple as simply introducing funds, what is the background behind the investor, what is his identity, or what kind of relationship a certain investment company has in China, this is all to be carefully considered. Especially those companies that want to be big and can become bigger, they should take into account the problems involved.
After all, there are people who don't like to play games according to the rules, and some people like to open cheats, and if someone else does, and you don't open it, then you will fall into the inferior. At the same time, once they encounter any situation, these investors who own the company's shares naturally need to work together to help the company tide over the difficulties, otherwise once the company collapses, their investment is likely to be wasted, which is not alarmist, this is a very likely fact. Therefore, when investors invest, they are also gambling. If you win the bet, you will naturally be happy, and if you lose the bet, you can only face the reality.
Now they are optimistic about the Yuanfang Group, in fact, these investors don't know how far the Yuanfang Group can go, they just think that the Yuanfang Group is promising after analysis, so everyone wants to take advantage of the fact that the Yuanfang Group has not really become bigger and stronger, and hurry over to get a piece of the pie. If you are an ordinary person, I am afraid that you will happily accept the other party's investment, because entrepreneurs are actually the same as investors, and they are not sure what their future earnings will be, and all they can do is to accept investment as much as possible when the company is still valuable, if the company can become bigger, it is naturally the best. If you can't do it, it's a helpless thing.
But this situation is completely inapplicable to Zhou Fangyuan, why? Because he knows that his company can become bigger. He is involved in the future gold industry.
Needless to say, the future of smartphones has been proven by future generations, and the catering industry, to be honest, in the world, the catering industry will never go out of style, and in the big food empire, this is the eternal sunrise industry... CO and Zhou Fangyuan is very clear that in the future, food safety will be promoted to a very important point, and now he entered the game early, and has been the main slogan is "health, hygiene, green, pollution-free, pure natural" and other slogans. Although the products sold are more expensive than the same type of products on the market, the distant food company cannot quickly capture the market. But it doesn't matter, what he wants now is the reputation of this brand, once the reputation is erected, when the era of great development comes, the distant food company can quickly occupy the first position.
Therefore, what Zhou Fangyuan is currently involved in are all industries that he knows and are very promising in the future. As long as he can overcome the difficulty of insufficient funds due to the extensive layout in the early stage of the business, the prospects of Yuanfang Group in the future will be limitless. In such a situation, how stupid would he have to be to accept other people's investment.
So now the question comes back, Zhou Fangyuan, who obviously has the ability to be a prophet, so he is unwilling to accept investment, how can he get funds?
Other companies are good to say that Andy's team needs a huge amount of money, and if he can't provide stable cash flow, it will be difficult for him to seize the commanding heights of the mobile phone market in the future.
So, where does this money come from?
That's the biggest problem, is it a way to keep borrowing, or borrowing money from other people?
But Zhou Fangyuan has another way, that is, to find a way to make a quick buck!
How to make money quickly?
He will definitely not use those means to shake the foundation of his company, in any case, the development of the company is still the first priority.
Zhou Fangyuan thought about it, and suddenly thought of a possibility - to make a movie!
Making movies is actually very profitable, and from the very beginning of the development plan of Yuanfang Media, there is also a film shooting plan. It's just that Yuanfang Media has just started before, so the focus is on TV dramas for the time being. In terms of movies, there is only one plan for a Warcraft movie. But Warcraft movies, to put it bluntly, Far Media is not directly involved in the shooting, Far Media is an important investor in the film, and also provides some actors, that's all, the main filming party is Blizzard, the shooting location is in the United States, and the most important thing is that this movie will not be released until at least two years later.
It's all fast, Blizzard itself is famous for skipping tickets, Cameron is also a well-deserved skipping king in the film industry, the two are a strong combination, the Warcraft movie originally planned to be released at the end of 03 and the beginning of 04, it is not an exaggeration to drag it out to 05 or even 06, this is a long-term job, and there is no return and results in a short period of time. So to be precise, the film plan that Far Media is really involved in at the moment is zero!
In that case, why not schedule a shooting plan?
Movies are a weapon for money, low-cost and high-box office movies are not uncommon in the world, and there are many domestic ones, millions of investments, tens of millions of returns, as long as they can meet Andy's needs in a short time, this is enough. What's more, although there is a lot of money that Andy's team needs at present, it is not too much, not to say how many large factories will be built at the beginning, and then crazy production day and night. The first mobile phone currently produced by Yuanfang Technology is positioned as a mid-to-high-end product, and the production line does not need to be large, as long as it can temporarily meet the market demand.
And let's be honest, hunger marketing is sometimes a great marketing tool. The millet of later generations is everyone in this regard, and the Lei Sect Leader has been criticized by rice noodles for this matter.
So the lack of money mentioned above is true, but it also does not say that the lack of money is to the extent that a large amount of money must be needed immediately.
And small-budget movies can be made not only in China, but also abroad, especially in North America, there are not too many small-cost and high-box office movies, except for those that have been filmed, there are many that have not been filmed, among which Zhou Fangyuan has seen several films, and he can start to do this.
Once the thinking spread, Zhou Fangyuan's choices immediately increased.
First of all, focus on China, if you are domestic, Zhou Fangyuan didn't care about domestic movies for a while. This is not only because the content of domestic movies is not attractive enough, but also because for a period of time, domestic films themselves have declined in the eyes. Not only are there few good movies, but there are also fewer people watching movies, so much so that at that time, there was not even a decent movie theater in the entire Beitong City.
When I say this, it is probably the period 10 years before the last life.
In the previous Beitong City, it was not until 10 years later that the number of movie theaters began to gradually increase, and more and more people watched movies, and Zhou Fangyuan also began to enter the movie theater.
10 years ago, he watched movies, basically watching pirated copies on the Internet, and there was one movie that he still remembers vividly, which was the famous "Crazy Stone".
The film was released in 06, telling the story of a handicraft factory in Chongqing that was on the verge of bankruptcy when it overthrew the old factory and found a priceless jadeite, but the international thief Mike and the local thief trio led by Brother Dao were eyeing the jadeite, and they launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle with Bao Shihongchang, the head of the handicraft factory security section. The cost of this movie is only more than 3 million, but the box office is ten times the cost, more than 30 million. At that time, the leading actors of the movie, Guo Fu, Liu Hua, Huang Bo, Xu Zheng and others, have also debuted, it can be said that the leading actors are ready-made, and they are not famous now. Even that Lian Jin is already a well-known TV star on Hong Kong Island, and because of the production reduction of ATV on Hong Kong Island, his life has begun to be difficult now.
In other words, as long as Zhou Fangyuan took out the three million, he would be able to gather these people now.
Even in terms of salary, it is much cheaper than in the previous life.
Costs can continue to keep down.
Even the script is not a problem, the original idea of the script, in fact, Ning Hao had it as early as 2000, but at that stage it was different from the final version. Later, the film became the only mainland film work in the "Asian Rising Star Director" program led by Andy Lau, and the screenwriting and filming plan was officially launched. Ning Hao likes Guy Ritchie's films very much and appreciates his shooting techniques even more. Although he felt that it was very appropriate to shoot "Crazy Stone" with Guy Ritchie's method in the early days, Ning Hao deliberately avoided it in the hope of establishing a new way, but as the filming progressed, Ning Hao felt more and more that perhaps this shooting method was the best choice for this type of film. Before the filming started, Ning Hao's choices included several cities such as Chongqing, Guangzhou, and Wuhan, but after filming in Chongqing, Ning Hao immediately decided. Because, in his view, Chongqing is an emerging metropolis, and its rapid growth has led to its complexity and uncertainty. And "Crazy Stone" is like Chongqing itself, with countless foreshadowings and coincidences intertwined, stretching into dense and dense story lines in a three-dimensional space, combining with each other.
It can be said that this movie, at this time, is completely okay to be put on the big screen, and there is no need to worry about conflicts, and there is no need to worry about the actors not being in place.
The only problem is the funds, but the funds, Zhou Fangyuan can come out, a few million is not a big problem for him, and for Yuanfang Media, a few million is just a small matter.
And as long as the movie is successful, tens of millions of dollars in income is not a joke, of course, the real income cannot be so much, but one or two million is still no problem, otherwise who would make a movie? Such a successful movie, if the investors can't make money, then they don't have to play.
And the benefits of this movie are not just about making money.
The film can be said to have illuminated the low-cost film market in China that was dark at that time. The film's sense of language is cinematic and audio-visual, rather than the traditional paradigm of 'prose and even poetry' that Chinese films are good at and firmly grasp. It deliberately appeals to the dialect's special sense of humor, and is all about the comedy of small people in a turbulent metropolis, all with dense and vivid flashing details. The significance of "Crazy Stone" to the Chinese film industry is definitely greater than the value of the film itself, and regardless of the artistic advantages and disadvantages of the film, just looking at the spiritual outlook presented to the audience by the film is a kind of momentum, a vivid sense of life; this feeling cannot be obtained by means of money, fame, qualifications, political achievements, marginal themes, etc., and these impetuous terms are covering all aspects of Chinese films, forcing ordinary audiences to drift away from domestic films.
In this case, it is better for Zhou Fangyuan and Yuanfang Media to be this "savior", so that the Chinese people can regain confidence in domestic films. And in terms of propaganda methods, Zhou Fangyuan is also stronger than the distribution company of the previous generation, not to mention anything else, Tengxun and Yuanfang Games are bombarded, I don't believe that it can't attract the majority of netizens to the cinema. And he also has an idea, to make a movie, the cinema chain must also be involved. In the future, several major domestic cinema chains will be gradually established in this era, in fact, he can also do this, although it is a little slower, but after more than ten years, when the time comes to the era before his rebirth, it will definitely be possible to have a huge and complete distribution network.
The benefits of having such a network, then needless to say, while there are not too many strong competitors in China now, if you don't enter the game at this time, what are you waiting for?
Thinking of this, Zhou Fangyuan suddenly felt that he should immediately put forward the movie plan, grab the time, seeing that it is already the end of the year, no matter how much you speed up, the New Year's Day file will definitely not be able to catch up, but you can consider the Spring Festival file. The more he thought about it, the more feasible he felt, and Zhou Fangyuan hated to call Sun Jing immediately and asked her to start preparing. Fortunately, he was not excited to that extent, he forcibly calmed himself down and began to think, since the domestic film plan has been decided, what about the foreign ones?
Although "Stone" is powerful, after all, it only has a box office of tens of millions, and after all aspects are divided, it only falls to the level of more than 10 million yuan of distant media, of course, this is a lot, but he can't directly mobilize the funds of distant media to raise distant technology.
So if you really want to make money, you have to go through foreign markets.
A god film with a small cost and a big box office in the foreign market...... Zhou Fangyuan suddenly thought of a very famous movie he had seen - "Ghost Shadow"!
Since all are
