Orange Image is a trademark registered by Lu Xiaoran three years ago, and its main business is film and television investment.

It's just that Xiao Luzi has no experience in running a company, and after the registration is completed, he has been abandoned for two years, and when he invested in "Stone" last year, he remembered to take accounts from the company.

At present, there are three people in the company, one is in charge of finance and is responsible for investment by the way, called Zeng Guangxian, not a celebrity, introduced by Lu Xiaoran's father, his resume is very beautiful, and he has done overseas promotion before.

One is the reception, and the other is Lu Xiaoran himself...

To put it bluntly, it is the prototype of Lu Xiaoran's personal studio.

After "Stone", many scripts were handed to Orange Images, but they were basically rejected by Lu Xiaoran...

After returning to the capital, Lu Xiaoran will definitely go to the company.

He wants to reconcile accounts with Zeng Guangxian...

He doesn't know much about overseas copyright.

To put it bluntly, Lu Xiaoran only got the 850,000 yuan given by Ning Hao for the account sharing of "Stone", and the rest of the money was just his estimated data...

......

The time has entered November, and the annual Chinese New Year stalls have begun!

"Miami Vice" and "Skywalker", the former is an A-level production of Gonghuang in Hollywood, adapted from the TV series of the same name, and it has not escaped the general trend that the drama will inevitably become a bad movie, Haozi is 150 million US dollars, the local box office in North America is less than 70 million US dollars, and the overseas box office is also very bad...

You know, "Miami Vice" is known as one of the best TV series in the history of television!

Gong Huang had a face from beginning to end, one expression played the whole game, by the way, he also changed a few sets of clothes, and contributed a large scale of passion play...

Fights and shootouts don't have a single bright spot to see, where is the money spent?

Director Michael Mann, who once filmed "The Line of Fire", "Shocking the Insider", and "Guilty Chicago", actually spent $150 million to drum up a so-called bad movie, which shows that Hollywood directors also have ups and downs!

Lao Chen, on the road that gets worse and worse the more you shoot, you are not alone!

"Miami Vice" failed to trigger a wave of movie-watching, and the box office stopped at 26 million, and Hollywood gangster films at this stage can't beat Hong Kong!

You're still thinking about dominating Miami, and Infernal Affairs has already talked about the cycle of fate...

The level is different!

"Skywalker" is also a gangster film, in fact, Hong Kong filmmakers have an extra layer of consideration when making gangster films after "Infernal Affairs", after all, there is Zhuyu in front of them, which can be used for reference!

Chen Jiashang used comedy to spoof the undercover agent and filmed "The Supreme Scoundrel" - not the one of the dance universities;

Lao Du's "Underworld" tells about politics more macroscopically;

"Skywalker" continues "Nine Dragons Ice House", the same prodigal son looks back and preaches the film, which is very politically correct!

Zheng Yimian probably thought that Chen Haonan had taught the children badly, so after that, he took on some films to change his evil and return to the right...

However, it has always been difficult for the gangsters to change their evil ways and return to the right...

Holding your breath, it is difficult for such a film to conquer the audience ...

The first one may still feel novel, and I have watched it a lot, and that's it, the Hong Kong films released this year, "Crouching Tiger", "Kowloon Ice Room", "Black and White Battlefield", and "Sister-in-law" are much the same, so "Skywalker" does not sell well, which is understandable!

The market is very poor, and fans don't even have the idea of complaining - not even a big-budget movie, complaining about wool!

Don't worry, Lao Mouzi's "The City is Full of Golden Milk" is catching up!

......

The company is located in the west district of Zhongguancun, Changchang Tiandi Building, just an office...

Why here?

Because the owner of this office is Lu Xiaoran!

Zeng Guangxian is 36 years old, a native of Xi'an, judging from his resume, he has been in the West Film Studio before, and has been engaged in film and television-related work, and there is no shortage of experience.

He was settling accounts with Lu Xiaoran:

"According to the contract we signed, the overseas copyright has nothing to do with us, we only have dividends from the mainland..."

"Huh? Why?"

"This is a regular contract, and generally Hong Kong and Taiwan funds are involved in film and television projects, and the mainland has to suffer a little loss because of the lack of distribution and connections!"

Lu Xiaoran looked at the contract carefully: "It's not written on it?"

Zeng Guangxian said: "This is the rule!"

"What a rule!"

scolded very angrily, but Lu Xiaoran could only scold, and beyond that, he couldn't do anything?

Orange Images is just a small company, and in the eyes of the outside world, it is time to shut up if you take shit luck, catch up with "Stone", and make money!

"Don't talk about us, even the Western Film Studio is the same, I heard that the "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" back then, the Western Film Studio only has the copyright in the mainland..."

"It's so unfair, you still think we're in the Qing Dynasty?"

Zeng Guangxian had a bitter face: "... That's the reality..."

"What about DVD copyright and network copyright?"

"How can there be network copyrights? DVD copyrights can intervene, and video copyrights can also be divided into a little bit..."

"Forget it, don't talk about this, Lao Zeng, are there any good movies looking for me?"

“... You are too demanding, you want both the protagonist and the script to be good, how can there be so many good things?"

By the way, Zeng Guangxian occasionally made a cameo appearance as Lu Xiaoran's agent...

"If you don't have it, forget it," Lu Xiaoran sighed: "A good project still has to be created by yourself!"

"Xiaoran, shouldn't our company be expanded?"

"Expansion?"

"At least three more people have to be recruited, the investment of "Latent", the project of "Border Storm", we must all intervene..."

Lu Xiaoran nodded: "Okay, you look at recruitment, by the way, is there money in the company's account?"

"There are more than 200,000 more!"

"Okay, then I'll go back first. ”

......

You have to think of a side business in addition to film and television investment, otherwise, Lu Xiaoran alone makes money and has no problem supporting the company, but it is difficult to draw funds to do some actions.

However, Lu Xiaoran can't do anything except acting...

Just ask the assister, maybe there's something good about it!

"Laoha, I want to do some side hustle!"

"Open a restaurant!"

“... What about the other than this?"

"Can you write a book?"

Writing a book?

Write a hair, how can he have time?

"Anything else?"

"In fact, film and television investment is very profitable..."

"Make a dime, and the money you make can't keep up with the increase in housing prices!"

You compare with house prices, why don't you compare with Bill Gates?

The husky was a little embarrassed, if he could make money, what kind of book would he write?

Let's put it this way, he's a fat house, even if he's reborn, he doesn't know what to do except buy a house!

"Forget it, I don't have any talent for business, so let's film honestly..."

"Don't worry, let me think!"

It's an auxiliary device, with a vision of the next twenty years, he doesn't think it's a waste of firewood!

"In the past few years, variety shows have started, if you have connections, you can cooperate with TV stations, and then collect copyright fees..."

Lu Xiaoran disagreed: "I think too much, how can the TV station be so good!"

The husky agreed, then added, "Unless you're at the first-tier level." ”

"If I step on a horse, how can I make money?"

"Don't worry, when "Struggle" is broadcast, you will almost be a third-line, and it will be much easier to plan these when the time comes!"
