Chapter 265: Investing in Films

Not long after separating from Lin Fangxiong, Yang Lin received a text message from Lin Fangxiong, with a mobile phone number on it and a note on the back: Xingyue Media, Marketing Manager, Cao Changchun.

Yang Lin checked Baidu and found that this Xingyue Media is a media company in Jinling, and there are more than a dozen small and medium-cost movies under its name. Those movie names. Yang Lin had basically never heard of it. Of course, it may also be that I don't watch much movies, so I don't know about it.

Looking at the data, this Xingyue Media, although it is only a medium-sized media company, seems to be well-known in the Jinling circle, has engaged in a lot of offline activities, and its artists are also quite active on the screen.

I am just a beginner now, and I have this company to help. It's already pretty good.

Yang Lin dialed the number, and the other party was very enthusiastic, obviously Lin Fangxiong's side had already said hello.

Some words are not easy to say on the phone, so Yang Lin directly asked him to talk to him in person.

Hung up the phone. Yang Lin called a Didi and went straight to Xingyue Media Company.

When he arrived downstairs at Xingyue Media, Yang Lin saw a man in his thirties, dressed in uniform, of medium stature, slightly fat, with a small belly, standing at the door of the hall and waiting.

This person should be Cao Changchun.

Yang Lin thought about it for a while, and then walked towards the man.

When the man saw Yang Lin, his face was full of kind smiles, and he bowed slightly and walked briskly towards Yang Lin's side, holding Yang Lin's hand tightly with both hands.

"You're just Yang Shao, right? Oh, it's noon, and I'm bothering you to run in person, look at me...... Alas, I'm so embarrassed!"

"Manager Cao's words are serious, the first time we met, I am a junior, so I should visit in person. Yang Lin smiled politely.

"Alas, it's all mixed food. How can there be any seniors and juniors?" Cao Changchun looked at Yang Lin with some envy, "Yang Shao, you are different, your identity, where can I compare?"

Yang Lin didn't know how Lin Fangxiong explained to Cao Changchun, resulting in Cao Changchun now being a Yang Shao, and he was very polite and respectful to him.

The two exchanged business in the hall for a while, and Cao Changchun invited Yang Lin to his office to talk.

After the two walked into the elevator, at the door of the hall, two security guards looked at the backs of the two, their faces full of surprise.

"Lao Wang, who is this kid? He looks like a college student, right? Why is our Manager Cao so polite to him?" the younger security guard looked puzzled.

"I don't know, look at the face. The older security guard Wang shook his head, "But if you can let Manager Cao treat him so politely, this kid is just afraid that he may be the son of a big boss and a big financier." "

"Alas, it's good to be rich! Look at Manager Cao's nodding appearance!"

……

On the other side, Yang Lin followed Cao Changchun to his office.

Cao Changchun first introduced the specific situation and business scope of Xingyue Media to Yang Lin.

These Yang Lin have all been learned on the Internet, and there is basically no major difference.

Yang Lin looked at Cao Changchun, a little interested. asked: "Manager Cao, let me ask more, you and Uncle Lin are ......"

The person introduced by Lin Fangxiong, Yang Lin naturally believed it. But I still can't help but be curious, I want to ask for an understanding, and my heart can be sure.

Cao Changchun smiled, didn't beat around the bush, and confessed: "Xiongye hasn't told Yang Shao yet, right? When I was in my twenties, I had been with Xiongye for five or six years. Later, I changed careers to film and television, and Xiongye also helped me a lot. Xiongye has the grace of knowing me, if it weren't for Xiongye, I Cao Changchun, would not be able to have today's status!"

It turned out to be Uncle Lin's former subordinates!

No wonder so polite and dedicated.

Yang Lin nodded clearly, and his impression of Cao Changchun in his heart was a little better. Those who know how to repay Entu will not be much worse.

Cao Changchun looked at Yang Lin. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Yang Shao, listen to Xiongye, you are planning to invest in movies." I don't know what the budget is?

Special requests?"

Yang Lin smiled bitterly: "I'm just a little white." As for the film and television investment industry, it is a blind eye! What else can I ask for? I still have to count on Manager Cao to show you the way! As for the budget...... I'd like to pitch in a few small productions and try the water. "

There are a total of six movies circled by Cao Changchun. The coverage is very wide, including comedy, suspenseful reasoning, youth campuses, police and bandits, and workplace ...... Three are big movies, and three are theatrical movies.

Yang Lin nodded, flipped through it casually, and heard that the female number one was Xu Rongrong, and he was slightly stunned.

"It's a theatrical movie, a youth campus comedy, which hasn't started filming yet and is attracting investment. We attach great importance to this movie, and the estimated cost is about 20 million, which is our company's main film and television work this year. To this end, our company has also specially invited famous and powerful directors in the industry to shoot youth campus comedies, male No. 1 Jiang Yihang and female No. 1 Xu Rongrong, both of whom are artists under our own company, they have made several movies before, and they are still somewhat famous in the circle, and the most important thing is that the acting skills are in place......"

"Heroes see the same!" Yang Lin smiled, "Does Manager Cao have any recommendations?"

For six films, most of the subscribed copyright shares of each film are between 10,000 and 50,000, and each subscribes to dozens of shares to play, and each drama invests hundreds of thousands. It adds up to millions. Even if it is lost, it is a matter of millions.

For him now, it's just a month or two of dividends from the SR bar, tickle!

Compared with those big productions that cost hundreds of millions at every turn, this is pediatrics at all!

"Oh yes, Yang Shao. Cao Changchun suddenly thought of something, got up and took out another document, and handed it to Yang Lin, "Yang Shao, I still have a movie here, I personally recommend it! "

The common denominator is that all six dramas are low-budget productions. The cheapest movie has a total budget of more than 1 million! The most expensive cinema movie has a total budget of only 10 million!

"If you recommend it, Yang Shao, you wait......" Cao Changchun got up and rummaged through the drawer of his desk, took out a document, and then took a pen and circled a few play titles on it, pointing it to Yang Lin, "As we all know, whether the movie is good or not, the script is the most critical." Yang Shao, you see, these dramas, not to mention anything else, at least I am confident in the script! In terms of directors and actors, we Xingyue Media have also spent a lot of costs. Personally, I recommend it. Take a look. "

The documents record the recent films produced by Xingyue Media, some of which have already started filming. Some are in preparation, some have finished filming and are about to be released. The details of each step of the film, from the synopsis, to the producer, director, cinematographer, actors, props, ...... It's all clearly recorded in a table.

"Okay, let's try to cast it first. I believe in Manager Cao's vision! If I make money, I will treat you to dinner. If you lose money, it will be regarded as a tuition fee!" Yang Lin thought very openly about investing to make money.

Anyway, I don't understand anything, so I don't do thankless things and lose money, so I just let Cao Changchun, an expert, give advice. In the end, he considered adopting it.

He knew that Cao Changchun was Lin Fangxiong's person, and he would never dare to deliberately recommend any bad movies to cheat him for money!

Yang Lin is planning to be a lazy person.

As soon as he heard this, Cao Changchun understood, nodded, and said with a smile: "Young Yang, you are humble. Even if you want to invest in a big production, our company has no problem? As for small and medium-cost movies, we at Xingyue Media still have a lot of them. Consider your first investment. My advice is still not to put all your eggs in one basket. After all, even if we are insiders, we can't say that any movie will definitely be a box office hit! Therefore, it is safest to divide the money and invest in several movies to reduce investment risks. "

Next, Yang Lin and Cao Changchun discussed and finalized the copyright subscription plan for the film.

"Xu Rongrong is an artist of your Xingyue Media?"

Yang Lin took the document and flipped through it.

"These films are very low-budget. The unit price of the share of copyright subscription is only 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, and if you invest one or twenty times, even if you lose, you won't lose anywhere. One of the six movies is a box office hit, Yang Shao, your investment this time is considered a success!" Cao Changchun explained with a smile, he said very conservatively, after all, it was Yang Lin sitting in front of him, and he didn't dare to say too much.
