Chapter 936: The Level of Liars
In general, there are several levels of fraudulent investment in the current film and television industry.
The most unpopular thing is the empty glove white wolf, which is to make up a project, and then blow it vigorously, of course, this kind of fraud without technical content is really cheated, and it is difficult to cheat any big money itself.
Secondly, those directors who pretend to be literary artists in the name of art, they will talk to you about art, talk to you about the themes expressed by so-and-so directors in a certain movie, they will talk to you about the meaning of life, talk about abstract paintings, and talk about things you don't understand.
You don't understand what art is.
This kind of person, in fact, sums it up is, I, the artist, give money!
Not to mention, this kind of person is still quite marketable, and many of them are tyrants who want to fill themselves with art and decorate themselves.
But this kind of person, you can't say that people are liars, you give money, they really make a film for you, of course, what the hell is filmed, then it's not clear, in short, in a word, this is art, talking about profit, that is blasphemy against art.
Then there is the more technical content, although many of the domestic tycoons are richer than foreigners, but for historical reasons, in the eyes of those people, foreign things are still relatively compelling.
For example, why there are exports to domestic sales, this is the reason.
This is also the case with movies, and for some people, it is natural to think that foreign film companies, such as Hollywood, are definitely better than domestic ones.
Then, in a series of flickering, the money was put in, well, the other party also made a film for you, but what the hell is that film, I guess even the liars themselves don't know very well.
Then there are the outdated directors on Hong Kong Island, because they have earlier fame, so they have projects, and then find a big star to play.
Well, then, give yourself a sky-high salary, for example, if you invest 100 million yuan in a play, they will first give yourself 20 million as a director's fee, and then give yourself a 10 million producer salary, and then, give the employees of the crew a sky-high salary.
Well, then, sorry, you don't have enough money, either you keep investing or you go down the drain.
Representative figure, Chen Zhengmeng, this is his forte.
Anyone who has been cheated knows it. And then wait for the investors to come out with the money, and they will take out millions to make a movie, well, go to the theaters in the mainland and walk around, the box office of the movie is not strong, sorry, the movie is a venture capital, investment is risky, you see, I also hope to sell well, but the market has changed too fast these years, this can't blame me, right?
Further up there are more advanced ones, such as Ponzi schemes.
They first set up a few companies, then associated some of the more well-known companies, publicized them externally, and then started crowdfunding and began financing.
Well, they will even directly use the method of capital preservation and poly to attract you to invest, and then deceive this side and deceive that side, and finally almost declare the company bankrupt.
They transfer the money through various names, and then the investors cry.
Of course, this method can only pit outsiders and foreigners, because of this kind of thing, if you have a lawsuit in China, they will still worry about it, but if you are a foreigner to fight a lawsuit, you will be knocked out in minutes.
Chen Taiqun and Jin Ming woke up like a dream, and after careful scrutiny, this project, which they thought had no problems before, was full of loopholes.
Of course, this is based on the detailed findings provided by Yang Tianqi.
For example, this project actually belongs to a leather bag company, Jaguar Pictures, which can be obtained by anyone in North America, just for a little money.
For example, Leopard Gate Pictures actually has little to do with this project, people just earn an employment fee, if they really run away and the company declares bankruptcy, they have no responsibility to find Leopard Door Pictures at all.
Another one, the so-called invitation to Brooke Daken to play the leading role is even more nonsense, any one is fine, as for Brooke Daken said in an interview that "Air Showdown" did invite him, and he is still considering it, this kind of thing is even more nonsense.
Even if Brooke Daken knew that "The Battle in the Air" was not good, as an actor, he would not casually say something offensive to people.
Chen Taiqun and Jin Ming glanced at each other, both of them felt a little frightened, fortunately they didn't sign a contract or make a payment, otherwise, it would really be ......
Yang Tianqi from Longteng Consulting gave a big gift, and it was a timely rain, so that Chen Taiqun lost at least hundreds of millions of funds, and naturally won Chen Taiqun's favor at once.
Moreover, Longteng Consulting is backed by Lingxiao Pavilion Group and Longteng Film and Television, and its strength is absolutely strong.
In addition, the fee is also fair, and the necessary financial guarantee will be provided, so Chen Taiqun immediately made a decision and entrusted Longteng Consulting to help find a suitable film and television investment project.
......
Within three days, Yang Tianqi visited several investment companies and individual investors who were interested in investing in "Air Decisive Battle" and had already invested in "Air Decisive Battle".
Similarly, three days later, the exact news came from North America, Brooke Daken publicly stated that he rejected the film contract of "Air Showdown", and at the same time expressed strong dissatisfaction with the "Air Showdown" project to persuade investors to raise funds in the name of his participation.
Immediately afterwards, a spokesman for Leopard Gate Pictures publicly stated that all financing and crowdfunding for the "Air Showdown" project had nothing to do with Leopard Gate Pictures.
In fact, the scam is not only the project "Air Decisive Battle", but in the end, after Yang Tianqi carefully selected, he still chose to start with this project.
Because the financing amount of this project in China is very high, most of the 600 million funds raised so far are from China.
Of course, it doesn't take much of a resource to let Brooke Daken speak publicly, after all, this is just a matter of one sentence for Brooke Daken, and he himself expressed great dissatisfaction when he learned that "Air Showdown" used his name to raise money, so it was natural to hit it off.
But Leopard Gate Pictures actually took a lot of effort here.
Go back to three days ago!
At a party in Los Angeles, Nami Anderson, CEO of Legendary Pictures in North America, met Richard, CEO of Leopard Gate Pictures.
"Is "Aerial Showdown" a project led by Leopard Gate Pictures?"
Of course not, however, Leopard Gate Pictures has already undertaken the production and distribution of "Aerial Showdown". ”
But what I got was that in the Far East, someone was crowdfunding "The Decisive Battle" and made it clear that "The Decisive Battle" was a project of Leopard Gate Pictures. ”
"What's wrong with that?"
"Of course there is no problem, but Richard, you should know that investors in the Far East have always regarded this project as a project of Leopard Door Pictures, and if the project goes wrong, then they will think that Leopard Gate Pictures has deceived them. ”
