Chapter 1129: Money
Fang Bin's position is still quite important, and it is definitely not an overnight thing to resign.
After he submitted his resignation, received instructions, and then it was time for him to change his successor, and little by little these things went on for a week.
After the handover, he didn't leave Tseung Kwan O, but came directly to the crew to find Lin Mu and told him the news.
When he came, Lin Mu was filming, and when he heard him talk about it, Lin Mu thought about it.
"Go back and rest, I'll call you in the evening. ”
Fang Bin didn't ask much, nodded and went back.
After sending Fang Bin away, Lin Mu thought for a moment, came back and talked to Xiao Er, cancel today's night show, and call it a day as soon as possible.
Although Xiao Er rarely paid attention to the company's affairs, since Lin Mu opened his mouth, he must have something, so he nodded and agreed.
In the afternoon, before the sun set, the crew began to pack up their things and plan to call it a day.
Lin Mu went to remove his makeup, talked to Xiao Er, and then began to call Huo Wenxi.
Fang Bin is free, which means that this matter can be implemented.
However, the first task is to find money first, Lin Mu himself estimates that it should be no problem to grit his teeth and take out four or five hundred million now, and if he doesn't have money, he will have to mortgage the company and the film copyright to find a bank loan.
That's not what Lin Mu wants to see, he is very accurate in his positioning, little man, this kind of thing is not a last resort, he doesn't want to do it.
So, you have to find someone to pay for it!
Yinghuang must bring it, although An Le was unhappy before, he couldn't stand up to other people's money, and then counting Xiao Xie, there were exactly four families.
And there is also a spectrum for the approximate distribution of Lin Mu, when the time comes, he will take 40% of the shares, An Le and Yinghuang are estimated to be able to get a lot of money, 25% for a family, and the remaining 10% for Xiao Xie.
What Lin Mu needs now is for Yinghuang and An Le to pay for it, and guarantee that the family will be 200 million, and Xiao Xie's money is secondary, mainly because of Chaoting's manpower and some equipment.
Since we want to talk, let's spread out this stall and talk openly and honestly.
Lin Mu called Huo Wenxi to ask him to help with Xiao Xie and Mr. Yang, and Jiang Zhiqiang was contacted by him personally.
The unhappiness with Lin Mu before made Jiang Zhiqiang never take the initiative to contact Lin Mu, and now Lin Mu wants to invite him to dinner, so naturally he has no objection.
The dinner was set at the open-air restaurant in Victoria, and the surrounding area was basically cleared, and there was no one around.
Lin Mu arrived first, and Xiao Xie was the second.
"Brother Mu!" Xiao Xie waved to Lin Mu as soon as he arrived far away.
It has only been a few days since he came back, and Fei Ge had just finished filming on Nanyun's side and turned back to the capital, and Xiao Xie naturally ended Shen Guangyao's filming and returned to Hong Kong Island.
"What are you looking for me tonight?" As soon as he came over, Xiao Xie asked Lin Mu curiously.
Lin Mu smiled mysteriously, "Big deal! You'll find out later." ”
Xiao Xie was originally quite curious, but soon saw that Fang Bin had arrived, Jiang Zhiqiang had also arrived, and then Mr. Yang had also arrived.
That's it!
This also met his own boss!
Jiang Zhiqiang and Mr. Yang basically came together on the front and back feet.
Seeing the two of them coming, Lin Mu, Xiao Xie and Fang Bin all stood up.
When everyone was seated one by one, Lin Mu raised his hand and beckoned the waiter to serve the food first.
"Eat first, we'll talk after dinner. ”
Lin Mu was calm, and the two spirits were naturally calm, but Xiao Xie seemed a little impatient, look at Lao Yang, look at Jiang Zhiqiang, and then look at Lin Mu.
……
I don't know how to finish this meal, and as soon as the things on the table were cleaned up, Xiao Xie couldn't wait to speak.
"What the hell is the matter with us today?"
Lin Mu pondered for a moment, "Then let me tell me?"
The two old guys still held their breath, but they bowed their heads slightly and did not speak.
Lin Mu nodded and stood up.
"The mainland film market is getting bigger and bigger now, don't you deny it?"
After seeing a few people nodding, Lin Mu continued.
"With the development of films, commercialization has become an inevitable trend. ”
"And our model has always been learning and imitating, although the Xiangjiang film was once brilliant, but I said that he is a handicraft model, everyone has no opinion, right?"
"Including most of the current movies are also in this mode, first, because they have absolute control over the movie itself. ”
'Second, save money!'
"But I don't know if any of you remember the Avatar on New Year's Day?"
Speaking of this, Jiang Zhiqiang became interested, sat up straight, crossed his hands together, but did not speak.
Mr. Yang and Xiao Xie didn't speak, but nodded.
Lin Mu continued, "It is said that the production cost of Avatar is 237 million US dollars. ”
"According to the distribution rules of the United States, 37 million is definitely the cost of publicity and copying. ”
"200 million, and the actors in Avatari are not too famous big-name actors, even if it is high, everyone's salary will not exceed 50 million. ”
"Where did the rest of the money go? special effects, 150 million special effects. ”
"Avatar's domestic box office is more than 5 billion, just like the shame of the Titanic back then, James Cameron once again pressed a mountain on Chinese films. ”
"That's not the point, the point is ...... The audience is willing to pay for this purely industrial model. ”
Speaking of this, several people's eyes looked at Xiao Xie, because he had a company that made special effects.
Xiao Xie will be a little confused, is this going to eat my Chaoting?
Lin Mu continued, "So when it comes to this, we have to talk about the film industry. ”
"Fang Bin, you're coming!"
Fang Bin obviously did his homework in advance, and after he stood up, he roughly described the mode of Hollywood film shooting, including a series of operational processes for publicity.
In fact, Mr. Lin's meaning is very simple, he wants to build a film factory that is not currently available in China. ”
"In this film factory, there will be a large number of green screen studios, and there will be professionals who are responsible for all kinds of post-production, from the material to the special effects production, to the dubbing and soundtrack, editing, copying, and finishing. ”
"At present, we have invited a lot of dubbing soundtracks, and there is still a lack of a department director for the time being, but the editor has invited Mr. Mak Tsai-shan. ”
"In the future, we will also try to send invitations to first-class photographers such as Mr. Huang Yuetai, Mr. Duan Hengsheng, and Mr. Christopher Doyle. ”
"The next time we want to film, the production company only needs to bring their own director, script, and actors to us, and we can do it from beginning to end. ”
Actually, it's certainly not that worry-free, but it's pretty much the same.
The kind of film about The Wandering Earth was only filmed for a month, but it was done for more than half a year in the later stage, and it was made by a special effects team of 300 people who worked overtime day and night.
Fang Bin is the younger brother, and he only has the right to explain, and the final invitation is for Lin Mu to speak.
He reached out and drew a circle on the table.
"Then the question is, now that there is such an opportunity, I plan to enter the field!"
"I would also like to invite three of them. ”
"Now let's talk about who's for and who's against?"
It is not suitable to see that it is not appropriate, that is, the meaning of tonight's meal is completely explained, but this kind of business is definitely not something that can be agreed to as soon as the brain is hot.
Whether it was Mr. Yang, Jiang Zhiqiang, or Xiao Xie, who was still excited before, they all fell into silence, quietly thinking about the feasibility of the route proposed by Lin Mu.
