Chapter 297 Investment
It should be said that this audition will be a failure.
Because except for Yi Shuihan, no artist has passed the audition.
But at the same time, thankfully, Jin Lizhang found the most suitable protagonist - Yi Shuihan.
He believes that Yi Shuihan can play the role of Lin Tianze well, but now, the most important thing is to find an investor again.
But soon, he found that it was more difficult to find new investments than before, and the Chua Group spread bad words about him everywhere in the industry, and the confidence of entertainment capital in him became lower and lower......
In Yi Shuihan's studio, Yi Shuihan negotiated with Zheng Liaoyuan on the studio's first investment.
"Are you sure you want to invest in this TV series? With Jin Lizhang's situation at this time, if the finished product is not brilliant, then this TV series will probably not sell, resulting in a loss of money!" Zheng Liaoyuan looked at the young man in front of him and said seriously.
He didn't expect that he had just exchanged ideas with Yi Shuihan about investing in TV series two days ago, and Yi Shuihan would be able to find a TV series for himself immediately, and this TV series was not favored by the public in the industry.
Yi Shuihan chuckled and said in high spirits: "If everyone is optimistic about this TV series, then where can we get our turn." ”
"Are you so confident in this play?" asked Zheng Liaoyuan with a smile.
"No," Yi Shuihan replied, "It's confidence in myself!"
Yi Shuihan wants to invest in this TV series with his own considerations.
There are many factors that can be used to determine whether a TV series can be popular, but the most critical point is the quality of the TV series.
In terms of script, Yi Shuihan believes that few TV series can be more exciting.
In terms of directing, Jin Lizhang has directed many popular TV series after all, although he has not directed for several years, his skills are still there, and the problem should not be big.
In terms of actors, Yi Shuihan also saw the process of Jin Lizhang's selection of actors, and it can also be seen from his rigorous audition that Jin Lizhang has high requirements for actors, so the actors selected in the end must also be powerful, plus Yi Shuihan himself plays the leading role, so it is even more reassuring.
To put it arrogantly, Yi Shuihan can't even think of a reason why this TV series is not popular.
Now the impression of Jin Lizhang by the capital in the circle is still stuck in his failed last work, and he has not directed for many years, so he has been given such a good investment opportunity.
Zheng Liaoyuan looked at Yi Shuihan, who was so confident and even a little arrogant in front of him, that he couldn't help laughing.
It was precisely because of Yi Shuihan's confident and flamboyant posture that he finally decided to come over to help him.
If a person does not even have self-confidence, he will not achieve great success.
After taking over Yi Shuihan's studio, he conducted in-depth research on Yi Shuihan's development in the entertainment industry.
He found a very interesting thing, that is, Yi Shuihan almost did not make any wrong decisions or judgments, which is extremely incredible for a newcomer to the entertainment industry.
Whether it is participating in "The Voice of China" or participating in which TV series.
Yi Shuihan is steady and steady, step by step, although he did not become popular overnight like other popular students, but the improvement and accumulation of popularity is real.
In this process, Yi Shuihan experienced a lot of ups and downs, a lot of right and wrong, but he survived it without danger.
This is not only because of Yi Shuihan's excellent response, but also because of the popularity and heritage he has accumulated before.
Along the way, he already has a group of fans who are enthusiastic about supporting him.
And the decision he made to invest at this time must not have been a whim.
Yi Shuihan's TV series Zheng Liaoyuan also made up for it, whether it is the TV series or Yi Shuihan's performance, it can be said to be very good.
And this "New Life" starring Yi Shuihan must be the same.
As Yi Shuihan said, just because others don't watch this TV series doesn't mean that this TV series is bad.
If everything follows someone else's back, you'll never get the biggest piece of the pie.
At this time, Jin Lizhang is struggling to find investment, and it is the best time to intervene.
After the two reached an agreement, they invited Jin Lizhang to come to the studio for a detailed discussion.
This is the third time Jin Lizhang has seen Yi Shuihan, but he didn't expect that the positions of the two would be fundamentally changed at this time.
Before that, he was a director, and Yi Shuihan was an actor.
At this time, he is still a director, but Yi Shuihan is already an investor.
"We're meeting again, Director Kim. Yi Shuihan smiled and shook Jin Lizhang's hand and said.
"I didn't expect that the last investor I found was you, Shui Han. Jin Lizhang said with emotion.
Yi Shuihan smiled, able to imagine Jin Lizhang's complicated emotions at this time.
"Hello, I'm Zheng Liaoyuan from Yi Shuihan Studio, and I'm in charge of discussing investment with you this time. Zheng Liaoyuan introduced himself.
Jin Lizhang also shook hands with him, for Zheng Liaoyuan, Jin Lizhang's first impression was that he was a shrewd businessman, and he even felt that he would not get a satisfactory answer today.
Sure enough, Zheng Liaoyuan's first sentence made him feel the feeling that was so sharp that it pierced people's hearts.
"I have learned that Cai's Group invested 10.8 million yuan, accounting for 82% of the investment, and asked for 80% of the dividends of this TV series. Zheng Liaoyuan said casually, as if he was saying something inconsequential.
But Jin Lizhang was immediately shocked when he heard it, he didn't expect that the other party would know about such a private matter!
Yi Shuihan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he also didn't expect Zheng Liaoyuan to hear such important news in such a short period of time!
His attitude seems to be careless, but he has suddenly forced Jin Lizhang into a corner!
It's like knowing the opponent's hole cards and chips, no matter how you talk about it, he's the winner!
Jin Lizhang originally wanted to strive for more benefits, but now it seems that it is good to be able to keep 20% of the dividends as before.
"Now that you already know, I won't hide it, the previous agreement between me and the Cai family was like this, what do you think of the same dividends?" Jin Lizhang said straight to the point, this is already the bottom line of his acceptance.
"I don't think it's very suitable!" Zheng Liaoyuan and Yi Shuihan glanced at each other and said with a smile.
"Tell me about it!" Jin Lizhang said calmly, but he was ready for the failure of the negotiation.
"Shui Han's salary for the whole film is 5 million shares, and the studio invests another 6 million!" Zheng Liaoyuan said with a smile.
This investment amount is 200,000 more than Cai's Group, but if you want to use the 200,000 yuan to get more dividends, Zheng Liaoyuan will not accept it.
"We want 70% of the profits of this TV series!" Zheng Liaoyuan said the dividend ratio agreed with Yi Shuihan before, even if it is so, it is far higher than the dividend ratio of the market.
He believes that Jin Lizhang can turn over with this TV series!
For a studio, the goodwill of a good director is more important than profit.
This answer was obviously unexpected by Jin Lizhang, he didn't expect that the other party would actually give up profits to himself!
"Why?" he asked softly.
Yi Shuihan looked at him and said with a smile: "Because I believe in Director Jin's strength, and I also believe that this TV series will be profitable!"
