Chapter 164: Sign and Draw!
Although since 09, domestic films have been abused by Hollywood blockbusters for three consecutive years, it has to be said that whether it is a domestic film or a foreign account-sharing blockbuster, the annual box office revenue has shown a very rapid growth.
Correspondingly, the number of theaters in the country has risen rapidly.
The reason why Su Min invested in theaters was naturally because he did a lot of market research and analysis in advance, and thought that this direction was worth investing.
In terms of the overall situation and long-term considerations, the Internet not only does not have an impact on the theater industry, but has a blessing effect due to factors such as enhanced communication efforts and convenient ticket purchases.
Moreover, compared with direct investment in films, investing in theaters is a fixed asset investment, with a relatively low risk coefficient, whether it is a profit or a loss, there is a process, and Su Min is confident that in this process, he can avoid most of the risks through his own commercial means.
When Su Xiaofan heard that the first field of his father's cross-border investment was related to movies, he immediately understood his father's intention to accommodate the industry he chose, and his heart was suddenly a little moved.
"It will take a long time to recoup the investment in the cinema...... Su Xiaofan asked with some concern, "Plus the operating costs are also high, will your money be put in?"
"Why are you always worried about whether I have any money?" Su Min sensed something keenly, and looked straight into Su Xiaofan's eyes, as if he wanted to see him through.
Su Xiaofan couldn't help but feel a little weak again.
If it wasn't for his father, Su Xiaofan would have taken out the script and stood up, saying that this matter would be a sure thing, but the image of Su Min's strict father since he was a child made it difficult for Su Xiaofan to face it with a normal heart.
But in fact, he really has nothing to do with this matter.
If he continues to twist and pinch like this, he will definitely not be able to convince him, so Su Xiaofan secretly gritted his teeth, got up directly to find his backpack, took out the script from it and handed it to Su Min.
"I have a copy of the script, I hope you can read it when you have time. ”
Su Min took the script expressionlessly, but her heart was full of doubts and surprises.
He flipped through the script casually and didn't read the contents carefully, but judging from the length, this must be a movie script.
"I had long guessed that there would be today, but I didn't expect it to be so soon...... Not to mention that you haven't graduated from college yet, you've only been in film school for a few months?" Su Min looked at Su Xiaofan with some mixed feelings, "Say, how much does it cost?"
"Ten million. ”
Mingren didn't say dark words, and Su Xiaofan didn't go around in circles, and directly said the number.
"Ten Million ......"
After Su Min heard this number, she leaned lightly on the sofa, closed her eyes and pondered for a full two minutes.
Su Xiaofan sat next to him and looked at his father quietly.
Two minutes later, Su Min opened her eyes and began to flip through the script.
At first, he read very slowly, like approving official documents, but as time passed, he read faster and faster, and the speed of harmony was about the same.
Su Xiaofan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
This shows that he can at least read it, and from the perspective of an examiner, he smoothly substitutes into the story and becomes a reader.
Because this script is only the first draft, it was rushed out to show Su Min, so the format is not the same as the professional script, and there are almost no descriptions of storyboards, sound effects, art, props, lighting, etc., and there is no difference between reading and reading.
Chongxian was very quiet at one o'clock in the morning, and the sound of drizzle outside the house could be heard, Su Xiaofan looked up at the window with some boredom, and the rain was pulled out into charming golden wires under the dim street lamp......
It took Su Min more than an hour to read the script of more than 40,000 words in one go.
"Who wrote this script?" Su Min closed the script and asked Su Xiaofan with some seriousness.
Su Xiaofan was bored and almost fell asleep, and when he saw Su Min close the script, he cheered up and replied: "The outline I wrote, my friend helped refine it, this is only the first version, and I haven't had time to revise it carefully." ”
Su Min nodded, and asked again, "Honestly, how sure are you?"
"Nine points. Su Xiaofan said without hesitation, his expression full of confidence.
"Nine points?!"
Su Min was suddenly a little surprised.
He didn't doubt Su Xiaofan's credibility, his own son, whether he was telling the truth or not, he knew it as soon as he heard it,
Su Xiaofan's ability to target something alone, he is also very trusting, what Su Xiaofan lacks is the overall situation concept and longer-term vision that young people lack.
But the current script obviously only belongs to "something" rather than "a certain cause", so when Su Xiaofan said that he was nine points sure, Su Min was so surprised.
Su Xiaofan's nine-point grasp comes from three points of trust in system analysis, three points of confidence in himself and the script, and three points of confidence in Dong Jiatong's background and Su Min's investment.
Su Min pondered for a moment, and finally nodded: "Since you have such a big grasp, even if you don't ask for investment from me, I guess you won't give up easily...... Instead of asking for others, it is better to ask for yourself!"
"Well, I don't invest. Su Min smiled meaningfully at Su Xiaofan, "But I can lend you money, and I don't count your interest, if you go out 10 million, you will pay back 10 million in a year, how much you have earned and how much you have lost, how you spend the money you earn, and how you fill in the money you have lost, it is all your own business!"
Su Xiaofan couldn't help but be slightly stunned,
This seems to be a little different from what I was expecting......
But he quickly understood Su Min's intentions.
It's just that I just want Su Xiaofan to feel this pressure himself.
But Su Xiaofan is nine points sure, how much pressure can this pressure be?
"Why are you stunned, prepare pen and paper, sign and draw!" Su Min yawned, "If you don't sleep again, your mother should be mad." ”
“……”
Su Xiaofan couldn't help but be a little speechless.
Remand?
As for making it so formal......
Although he muttered in his heart, he still obediently made an IOU,
Su Min put away the IOU and went back to sleep.
Su Xiaofan's stomach was left in the living room, and after drinking the remaining little wine, while cleaning up the mess, he thought about the 10 million that would arrive tomorrow......
The most difficult thing to get to deal with was to pull investment, but it was easier to do than expected, which made Su Xiaofan feel extremely happy.
Next, while revising the script, we are looking for actors to form a crew.
After staying at home for two days, Su Xiaofan returned to Yanjing.
After deciding to make a movie, Su Xiaofan's first notice was not Dong Jiatong and Ye Yang, but Professor Wang, after all, he will skip class for a long time in the future, if the school does not agree, then he can only take a year off or drop out altogether......
In order to appear sincere, Su Xiaofan contacted Professor Wang by phone, and after making an appointment, he personally came to Wang Rui's office with the script and explained his intention to him......
It is conceivable how complicated Wang Rui's expression was after listening to Su Xiaofan's words......
"Drop out? It is natural for students of the film academy to make movies, quit studying?!" After Wang Rui came back to his senses, he was as excited as an enraged rooster, "You don't need to suspend school, I will personally help you apply to the dean in a while, you have the script in your hand......, right?"
"Convenient and convenient!" Su Xiaofan suddenly understood and handed the script to Wang Rui.
"You wrote this script with Jiatong again?"
Su Xiaofan nodded.
"Okay, you go back first, wait until I'm done. Wang Rui opened the script and began to read it, "Hmm...... By the way, if you don't mind, I'll take it to Professor Zhang in the Department of Literature again, and we'll call Shang Jiatong when we get back, and take the time to talk?"
"Okay!" Su Xiaofan couldn't help but smile, "Thank you, Professor Wang!"
Professor Wang meant that he was going to work with Professor Zhang from the Department of Literature to help with his ideas......
This kind of good thing, only fools mind!
Of course, for the two professors, it is unprecedented for freshmen to make theatrical movies, so they naturally have to be treated specially......
