Chapter 817: Trap
"That's the ......," Chen Jia roughly described the content of his conversation with Liang Hai and the content of the script he saw with Duan Yun.
"Uh......" Duan Yun on the other end of the phone pondered after hearing this.
"I think Director Liang is really sincere this time, and he has also made great concessions, for our company, it is indeed an opportunity to cooperate with such a well-known director. Feeling that Duan Yun on the other end of the phone fell silent, Chen Jia hurriedly added.
"Cancel the cooperation. After another half a minute, Duan Yun suddenly said.
"Huh?" Chen Jia asked in a loud voice because he had heard it wrong, "Boss Duan, what did you say?"
"I said cancel the cooperation with Director Liang Hai!" Duan Yun said in an affirmative tone.
"But ......"
"There is no such thing as pie in the sky. Duan Yun paused, and then said: "Director Liang Hai is indeed a powerful director, but his script this time is a literary film, so we can't cooperate with him." ”
"Aren't literary films also good?" asked Chen Jia.
"Then let me ask you, can you name a literary film that has a box office of over 100 million in previous years?" Duan Yun asked.
"This ......" Hearing this, Chen Jia was speechless.
Since entering the film and television industry, Chen Jia has learned very quickly, from the technical knowledge of film shooting to the development history of domestic films, but in her memory, there is indeed no domestic literary film that has won more than 100 million box office.
Although literary films also make money in China, the box office of most literary films is not high, and some are even quite bleak.
But even so, Chen Jia still tends to cooperate with Liang Haitao, after all, Director Liang's appeal is very strong, and his previous commercial films have basically made money.
"But Director Liang Hai is one of the top directors in our country, he shouldn't smash his own signboard, and the quality of the film should be guaranteed. Chen Jia said with some unwillingness.
"I have never doubted Director Liang's strength, and I never thought that he would make bad movies of poor quality. Duan Yun on the other end of the phone paused, and then said: "But have you really thought about it, why did he invest so much money in making a literary film?"
"What he likes is Boss Duan, your public relations strength. ”
"It's not that simple. ”
"That's?"
"You've been in this film and television industry for a while, do you know what type of film is the easiest to win awards in the domestic film industry now?" Duan Yun asked.
This kind of film generally has depth and content, and it is easy to win the favor of the judges. Chen Jia thought for a moment, and then said: "But it's a good thing if this film can really win awards......
"To correct it, it will only be Director Liang himself who wins the award, so let me ask you, what can we get?" Duan Yun hinted to Chen Jia.
"Box office?" Chen Jia seemed to have heard what Duan Yun meant.
"Now those who are willing to spend money to buy tickets and enter the theater are basically for entertainment and pastime, how many people do you think such a film that is abused from beginning to end will like it? Moreover, it is still the era of the Republic of China, the period is too sensitive and it is easy to pass the line, is it just to take such a big investment risk just to complete Director Liang to win an award?"
"I see. Chen Jia said in a low voice.
"The directors who can make a name for themselves in the film and television industry are all old foxes who are about to become immortals! If this project can really make a steady profit, they can shoot it in their own company, and they won't give others a chance to drink soup at all! And he only makes one or two films a year at most, and he can afford to wait for the film to be reviewed for a long time, and it is nonsense to say that it is simply nonsense to say that the film will pass the review quickly! He found our company purely to win awards and didn't want to take risks, so he took us to fill the hole, and he was purely not at ease!" Duan Yun snorted coldly and said.
"I'm going to reject that Liang Dao. Chen Jia bit her lip and said.
"Be polite to Director Liang, just say that the company can't come up with so much money at present, and I look forward to having the opportunity to cooperate in the future. Duan Yun said.
"Hmm. After Chen Jia answered, he hung up the phone.
After Duan Yun on the other end of the phone heard Chen Jia hang up the phone, he immediately closed the phone, walked to the veranda alone, took out a cigarette and lit it on fire.
The reason why Duan Yun was so sure that Liang Hai's literary films would not make money just now was because in the memory of his previous life, there had never been a single literary film that had sold well, not even more than 100 million!
It is precisely because of this that he rejected the cooperation plan with Liang Hai.
In Duan Yun's eyes, no matter how famous and status the cooperating director is, if the film can't make money, then there is no need to invest in cooperation.
But today, a big director like Liang Hai will take the initiative to discuss cooperation with his company, which is indeed good news for Duan Yun.
Because this means that his film and television company is now indeed famous in the circle, which has attracted the attention of many industry bigwigs.
This is indeed a good sign for the future development of Duan Yun Company.
Just as Duan Yun was thinking about the company's next development plan, the ringtone of his mobile phone rang again.
However, it was Gao Bo who called Duan Yun this time.
"Hey, Duan Yun. After the phone was dialed, Gao Bo on the other end of the microphone said.
"Manager Gao, what's the matter?"
"I've arrived in Kyoto. ”
"So fast!?" Duan Yun asked in surprise.
"I just got off the train. ”
"Then I'll find someone to drive you over. ”
No need, you name a location, I'll take a taxi to meet you. Gao Bo said.
"Then ...... Go to the Starbucks Cafe in the Tiandu District of the Fourth Ring Road, where I will wait for you. Duan Yun said after glancing at the café opposite the community outside the window.
"Okay, I'll go over it. After Gao Bo finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
After putting down the phone, a trace of doubt flashed in Duan Yun's eyes.
It stands to reason that Duan Yun and Gao Bo have known each other for more than half a year, and their relationship has always been very good.
An ominous omen flashed through Duan Yun's mind.
Then, after putting on his coat, he pushed the door open and left the house.
Ten minutes later, Duan Yun appeared in the Starbucks café outside the community, found a place by the window, ordered a cup of coffee, and quietly looked at the street outside the community.
After another twenty minutes, I saw a taxi stop on the opposite street, and Gao Bo, wearing a windbreaker, got out of the car and walked straight into the café where Duan Yun was.
"Manager Gao!" After seeing Gao Bo coming, Duan Yun greeted with a smile.
"Do it. Gao Bo motioned for Duan Yun to sit down, and then took out a few printed pieces of A4 paper from his satchel and put them in front of Duan Yun.
