Chapter 0404: A Powerful Alliance!

Wang Changtian and Vice President Li were a little stunned.

Yang Ruyi, who had been smiling and not interjecting on the side, was also very surprised, but she is now habitually not letting people see her emotions - the primary state of a company leader. An old sparrow in Dongting Lake, such as Wang Changtian, will not be so nervous all the time.

However, this made Wang Changtian mistakenly think that Ji Ming had already had an idea.

Because he came into contact with "Nezha" very early, even from the beginning of the class visit, in May last year, it has been nearly a whole year now. This whole year, on the side of the onlookers, I only remember that Ji Mingniu has made a big beep, and everything comes, awards, box office, popularity, money, all in one year.

But in the industry, including people like Guangguang and Wang Changtian, they can see more.

In the past two years, if you want to talk about luck, one is Wu Jin and the other is Ji Ming, which is really the level of the chosen son. Wu Jin said that after all, he had been patrolling the circle for so many years, and it was not incomprehensible to find an opportunity to break out. But Ji Ming, a young man, is quite beyond common sense - what to do.

Otherwise, Wang Changtian would not be willing to talk so much with Ji Ming just to meet and not even have a cooperation project.

Wang Changtian and his deputy glanced at each other, and their minds were whirling - if you want to say that the most talked about battle in the early years of Guangguang, it is undoubtedly Xu Zheng's "Thai Embarrassment", a small-budget comedy with an investment of 30 million and a box office of 1.2 billion, which opened the era of 1 billion Chinese film box office and brought more than 400 million income to Guangguang.

He looked at Ji Ming, just like looking at Xu Zheng after "Thai Embarrassment" - Wang Changtian was not the first person to say this.

But as the kingmaker of "Thai Embarrassment" and Xu Zheng, his feelings are different.

"Are you, serious?"

Ji Ming trusts Koi very much, after all, it has not missed a move - since the wish is successful, then "Nezha" is likely to have a box office of more than 2 billion. This number is still staggering, for a domestic cartoon.

Men have philatelic habits, even if it's not for money, it's good to be able to win the film history record of cartoons after art films and science fiction films.

The settlement of "Encountering Immortals" is basically completed, and there is still some running water behind, all of which are small heads. The settlement of "The Wandering Earth" is much faster than that of "Immortals", and the money should start to come during the summer vacation - close to 200 million in cash, it can't be just put there.

"Of course," Ji Ming frowned and thought for a while: "I like that film a lot, if I have the opportunity, of course I won't refuse." ”

Wang Changtian is a little annoyed, of course it's good to be able to cooperate, who doesn't want to cooperate with Ji Ming now, but the basis of cooperation is profit, under the premise that he is also optimistic about "Nezha", of course, there is also a design of his color bar house as a whole, and it is not a casual thing to include a new investor.

There was silence for a while.

"Actually, I have a dream that one day the color bar house can become China's Pixar. ”

Didn't make a wish - Ji Ming didn't have this wish.

Cough.

"I would very much like to see that day. Ji Ming smiled.

"Before that, when will our animated films be able to account for 15% of the total box office, according to the annual box office of 40 billion, it will be 6 billion. And if the light can get 70% of it, that is, 4.2 billion, I will feel that this dream is one step closer to reality. Wang Changtian once said publicly: "But at present, even if we also take a stake in October Culture and harvest the series of "The Return of the Great Sage", this goal is still very far away. So, I'm glad to see more forces willing to participate. ”

He was very slow to say the rest of the story, obviously wondering what kind of cooperation would be in the best interests of both parties.

Direct investment? This is the easiest way to invest money in shares.

Participation in production? Similar to "The Wandering Earth", the salary or other expenses are converted into investment - this article is not of much significance, dubbing is no longer possible, and the complete work will not be readjusted because of Ji Ming's participation.

Equity investment: At the beginning, Xu Zheng sold the equity of "Hong Kong Embarrassment" for 150 million yuan to the listed company Huanxi Media, which is a way of equity investment. Including "Wolf Warrior 2", Aggregate Media also sold some of their interests, which is an important way for many latecomers to enter film projects.

In terms of reasonableness, the third is the best way for Ji Ming to intervene.

But Wang Changtian always felt a little inexplicable, what about the benefits? Of course, the advantage is that it can save a lot of budget in publicity, and it can strengthen the theater's confidence in "Nezha", and give Ji Ming a producer, even if it is a work under his name, just counting his huge number of fans, it is quite worthwhile-is enough? It's enough, it's enough, it's not enough, it seems to be a little worse.

A hammer deal doesn't mean much.

"Is Ji Ming also interested in domestic animation?"

"I'm interested in good movies, but when it comes to being particularly interested, in fact, before filming "The Wandering Earth", I didn't watch much science fiction films. Ji Ming smiled, a little shy: "I don't have as pure enthusiasm as you, I'm just someone who can watch movies and make movies, as for what genre it is, it doesn't really matter." Today, the Chinese market has developed to this extent, with a box office of more than 40 billion, and it is not wrong to say that comedies are box office guarantees, but "The Wandering Earth", "Wolf Warrior 2" and "Immortals" are not comedies...... It can only be said that we have reached such a time, as long as the movie is done well, as long as the publicity and distribution in all aspects keep up, our movie audience will give unexpected feedback. So for filmmakers, this era can't be said to be bad. ”

"Then your eyes are poisonous. ”

"Hahaha, it's still early, I've only made a few movies. ”

Wang Changtian nodded, and thought about it again: "I heard that you plan to do a musical?"

These ears are long enough.

It may be that Ji Ming's expression was too surprised, and Wang Changtian was quite proud: "Don't forget what I used to do." Although the title of 'Godfather of Chinese Entertainment News Reporting' is too heavy, after all, I am a journalist, and it is almost subconscious to obtain information. ”

Ji Ming glanced at Yang Ruyi: "With this plan, the main thing is that I am now holding this movie, and I hope to change it into a stage play." ”

There was silence again.

"Is it possible for the light to invest in Tiancheng Culture?" Wang Changtian suddenly asked.

Beijing Tiancheng Film and Television Culture Co., Ltd., this is Ji Ming's one-person company, and even the legal person Yang Ruyi has not been able to get incentives for the time being - there is this plan in the future, but it is still early, it is still early. Both in terms of the number of projects involved and the time of establishment, it is still early.

"What price are you going to give?"

This is not really inquiring, but giving Wang Changtian a negative answer - now Tiancheng Culture is not easy to offer. What does it have, in addition to 80 million cash, there is also a 50% interest in "Mo", as well as a follow-up investment interest in the "The Wandering Earth" series, which does not exceed 10% for the time being, plus Ji Ming, it is gone.

500 million?

1 billion?

Or 2 billion?

It all depends on Ji Ming's price - and this is the most difficult to measure. If Ji Ming is willing to go all out, it is not difficult to create a small giant covering brokerage, film and television production and distribution in the short term, and it is not without precedent for film and television companies in the entertainment industry that rely on top artists to develop.

But if you calculate it like that, it is a de facto bet, and Ji Ming can't accept it - Wang Changtian also knows that Ji Ming can't accept it, he is not a person who makes money all day long.

It's not easy to calculate.

Wang Changtian breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the picturesque scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, those who have time to see the scenery in the capital are all blessed people. It's a pity that he definitely didn't think that there would be such a tangled moment before he came.

But pulling Ji Ming into his Pixar dream has an attraction that can't be refused - in fact, at this point in time, any refusal to cooperate with Ji Ming is incredible.

The rise is so fast, but there is no half of the "meteor" appearance, and the underwater foundation is solid, and it has been debuting for 20 years.

Now if someone asks, who do you think will be there in five years with these countable traffic on the scene? Ji Ming will definitely be ranked first, and even - he will climb higher in the power chain of the entertainment industry, it is recognized that it is very likely.

"Hey, let me think about it again, and I'll get back to you soon. ”

......

"Wasn't it a surprise?"

"Little, you haven't said before that you're so optimistic about "Nezha". "Yang Ruyi is very frank.

Ji Ming sent a WeChat message to Chu Qing, saying that he was about to go home, and soon received a reply "I am already at home, I made food", he smiled and put down his mobile phone.

"I've always been optimistic, didn't I tell you? I look at Director Yang, that is, the dumpling director and their team, which is similar to the original Director Guo, and they are very committed - of course, investment does not mean that they will succeed, but after watching some materials and clips, I still think that their probability of success is not low. ”

Yang Ruyi nodded.

"Then we are actually looking for investment opportunities, and now the drama outside is more pitiful than the other, and maybe it will be a violation of the rules and can't be on. Thinking about it this way, animation seems to be a good direction, and "Nezha" is a project that I have been paying attention to, so it's good to invest in it?"

Yang Ruyi, as the executor, just wanted to understand the boss's thoughts, and did not mean to overstep the bounds: "Then how do you think the light will decide?"

"There is a high probability that a joint venture company will be established," Ji Ming smiled: "It may be five or five points, or we may have a little more, three seven or four or six." In the name of the joint venture company, I expect that it is unlikely to exceed 20% of the investment interests under the name of the transfer of light - now cocoa beans, October culture, and color bar house, these three are all light department, light media should have at least 60% of the equity in hand, if the rights and interests of other investors also change, it should be about 15%. ”

"...... doing that?"

Ji Ming rubbed the tip of his nose, a little oily: "Won't I become part of Mr. Wang's 'China Pixar' plan?"

The space for collaboration is very broad, not to mention the obvious elements of funding, film and popularity, even if it is just a stage play, "The Lion King" musical is often performed, "Shrek", "The Little Mermaid", "Beauty and the Beast", "Aladdin" ...... Count them casually, these IPs from Disney are quite popular with drama fans. Since Wang Changtian is benchmarked against Pixar, he must be familiar with Disney's model, and if he has a little longer vision, he knows what a valuable decision it will be to bring Ji Ming on the ship.

For Ji Ming, the possible benefits of "Nezha" are very attractive, and the in-depth cooperation with the domestic film and television production giant Guangguang is also very conducive to the development of him and Tiancheng Culture, which can leverage more resources, and of course it will be more convenient to act - and after all, he has no plans to be one of the Chinese version of the "Hollywood Six", and the competition with Guangguang is very small.

Lift yourself up, if the cooperation is successful, you can barely say a "strong combination".

In the quiet carriage, Yang Ruyi listened to these considerations, looked at Ji Ming, the overhead light hit him, and the contrast between light and dark was very obvious - ah, how did you think of "The Godfather", inexplicable.

"You go back and find someone to study the specific situation, if there is news on the other side of the light, follow up in time, the principle is still the same, it doesn't matter if there are fewer rights and interests, but we can't be shackled by cooperation. ”

"Yes. ”

......

"Coming back?"

"Well," Ji Ming went to wash his hands, took one of the fried beans made by Chu Qing and put it in his mouth: "You can make beans?"

"How did my mom teach me?"

Well...... It's a bit hard to describe the taste. If the beans are not cooked, will they die? Or will the green beans die? Are the green beans the same thing as the beans? It seems that the beans are a little longer? The longer ones are called cowpeas? So do the cowpeas die if they are not cooked?

Ah~ It's too hard.

"It's delicious! It has a fresh smell of raw beans. ”

“......”

Let's still scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

The small spark of cooking at the beginning of the day was quickly extinguished, and their dining table was expected to maintain a balance for a period of time.

"Next Friday?"

"Hmm. ”

It's about Hatsuharu's graduation concert.

"Will Mom and Dad come?" Ji Ming sandwiched an egg for Chu Qing, because she didn't like to eat eggs, haha.

Chu Qing glanced at him: "Don't come." ”

"That's your husband and mother-in-law to support you? Oh yo yo, it's really a pitiful child, if you don't find a good family, it will be sad to die, you say that you are very handsome, why are you so unlikeable, tsk. ”

Drama spirit.

"I've cleaned up Auntie's room, you wait and see, what's missing. ”

"It's not easy, my mom finally has a room in her son's house. Ji Ming looked at the house with a smile, they had already moved into the new house, the indoor stairs took up quite a lot of space, but the layout was good, the ceiling height was okay, although the place was not big, but it would not feel cramped. The arrangement that Chu Qing grasped with one hand was very concise, based on the necessary, and everything that was not necessary was taken away: "It's still from the capital, and I have a lot of face, and I can blow it for half a year when I go back." ”

"Auntie wouldn't, if my mother was about the same-"

"Hey~~~~ I recorded it. Ji Ming shook his phone, and he intended the last half of the sentence: "Hahaha, come on, let's talk about the conditions." ”

"Okay, do you want to live?"

“......”

Delete.

"It seems that we had a good talk. ”

The moonlight outside the window is like water, and inside, not only is it very good.
