Chapter 272: New Director Support Fund

"Of course you can!" Mr. Liu, who was standing on the side, said in surprise when he heard it.

It is worthy of being the God of Wealth from the Xiangjiang entertainment circle, and it is tens of millions as soon as he opens his mouth!

I really can't think about the differences between this person and people, otherwise I will really be ashamed!

"I haven't figured out the specific operation method yet, but there is a principle that although this fund is for public welfare, it is not free and free, and my initial idea is to set up a fund-like institution to operate.

In the future, it will provide all the shooting funds for about 10 low-budget films in the mainland every year, and select films that take into account both market and artistic characteristics for support.

In this way, we can obtain box office revenue through distribution, achieve benign development, and let the project develop in a more long-term way.

Liu Ruoyi simply applied a venture capital concept to this film targeted support foundation, if it is a traditional way, he will invest tens of millions of dollars in this foundation every year without any benefits.

Then this matter is a big burden for Aurora Culture, and it is difficult to persist for a long time, this is not Liu Ruoyi's way of doing things.

Liu Ruoyi's idea is to give a first phase of seed funds, and support this fund through the box office income of the supported films, just like venture capital projects, every year there are always a few movies with good box office income and can get a large return.

The rest can be paid no compensation or small compensation, and the investment can be recovered as a whole, and the entire investment will not be a big problem to form a flow of development.

One-time investment, permanent autologous circulation operation, this is the correct posture of a normal commercial public welfare operation.

"Of course, the most embarrassing thing in the mainland market now is the lack of this kind of support fund for cutting-edge films, banks don't give loans, and investors can't believe it, and the whole thing is a dead end.

Annie's method of operation is very reasonable, which not only takes care of the new director to have a new source of funding, but also takes into account the sustainable development of the future, which is a good idea for a genius!"

Teacher Liu is worthy of teaching, and this shooting of a junior's sycophants makes people feel that it should be very natural.

"Where, Mr. Liu, I can't afford it, but if this matter is feasible, can Mr. Liu help come forward and host this foundation." Liu Ruoyi waved her hand and said modestly.

"Let's not make this fund complicated, it's best for Mr. Liu to lead a few seniors in the industry, with vision and authority, so as not to say that the operation is not transparent.

Considering that Aurora Culture has a little experience in market development, Mr. Liu, after you are selected in terms of artistry and content, how about our Aurora Culture screen out works that combine artistry and marketability from the market side?"

Liu Ruoyi wants to strengthen the relationship with Professor Liu, so that Professor Liu can consciously and voluntarily recommend talents for Aurora Culture for a long time, open up this talent channel, and make it unblocked.

Interpersonal exchanges, that is, there are trade-offs, mutual achievement, and mutual benefits are the first-class favors for a long time!

Now Liu Ruoyi will directly hand over the operational level of this foundation to Professor Liu to manage, which is just two birds with one stone, the first can save the complicated audition of works, after this foundation comes out, it may be hundreds of works in a year, Liu Ruoyi does not have so much energy to do this kind of thing.

But Professor Liu is different, this is a great thing to enhance the status of the industry, and the right to be able to screen works is not big or small, but it is the most eye-catching thing for the current cutting-edge directors.

Second, Professor Liu's identity and status are sufficient, and his influence in the circle is also good, so he is familiar with this thing.

"No problem, no problem at all, I am personally happy to be able to provide a little help to some excellent works and talents in the mainland. ”

Professor Liu said happily that at his age and status, money is a secondary matter.

After all, professors who can take root in the school and do things are still far more than pure utilitarianism in terms of professionalism.

Like the foundation provided by Liu Ruoyi to Professor Liu, this new director's work support foundation is a suitable job for Professor Liu, which has a good social effect and can help his personal career reputation, of course, Liu Ruoyi will also consider him in terms of personal interests, and it will not be a free activity.

That's pretty much it.

In terms of details, there will be a manager of Jinhai Aurora Culture to contact, and what Liu Ruoyi has to do in the future is to choose a few familiar or characteristic movie scripts from the primary selection.

There are more than a dozen low-cost movies every year, and the production cost of tens of millions, plus tens of millions of distribution costs, is not too much pressure on funds and distribution.

Of course, this is just Liu Ruoyi's vision now. In Professor Liu's eyes, being able to spend tens of millions of dollars at a time to support the launch of the support work for cutting-edge directors is a big tyrant.

So it didn't take long for the foundation to be established, and the rumors released by Professor Liu had spread all over the Beijing film circle.

At this time, although the speed of message transmission is not as fierce as in the later WeChat era, it spreads throughout the world in minutes, but it will not be much slower to spread in a specific circle.

Especially the cutting-edge directors who sharpen their heads and raise money everywhere, they are in various circles all day long, and after this matter spreads in one circle, it will naturally spread to various small circles in a day or two.

However, these are all things that Professor Liu is happy to see, there is no spread, where is the influence, since Liu Ruoyi is ready to let him preside over this work, he naturally hopes that the greater the influence, the better.

Liu Ruoyi doesn't care too much about the follow-up operation, for her, this matter has been decided, and the follow-up can track the results, and let the company's professionals handle the rest of the various things.

After talking to Professor Liu about this matter at the school, before Liu Ruoyi returned to the hotel, the king of leather pants, who had not heard from her for a long time, suddenly contacted her by phone and said that she was asking Liu Ruoyi to find a place to sit.

If it weren't for something important, the king of leather pants must have explained directly on the phone that this king of leather pants is a talent that Liu Ruoyi has been aiming at for a long time, the timing of the last recruitment was not very good, and the reputation of Aurora Culture was not obvious, and the king of leather pants directly refused in the face of Liu Ruoyi's solicitation.

But now that she has come to the door, Liu Ruoyi will definitely give face to meet.
