Chapter 268: If you want to take it, you must give it first
In terms of the way of doing business, Feng Jiawei's level may be average, but he has been in the government for more than ten years, and he grew up in the government compound when he was a child, and he has experienced the words and deeds of his fathers. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
No, as soon as Gu Heng arrived, Feng Jiawei personally welcomed him into the office, with a smile on his face, and said very enthusiastically: "Rare guests, brother, you haven't come to my side for a long time, don't be in a hurry to leave later, ask Zhao Mu and them out tonight, don't get drunk or return." ”
There is a way to reach out and not hit the smiling person, not to mention that Gu Heng still came with a purpose in this trip, so he naturally didn't put on a show, and he greeted him with a smile.
In a more harmonious atmosphere, the two began to chat, but in their hearts, they were each playing Xiao Jiujiu.
Gu Heng had the confidence to let Feng Jiawei come forward because he knew that the other party's plan to invest in making movies had lost money, and the loss was very miserable.
The reason for this is because of the SARS epidemic that swept the country.
At the end of last year, Feng Jiawei relied on his own relationships to prepare all the work in place, serving as the investor and producer, and the invited director and star lineup are not big names, but they are also popular in the industry.
Just as he was about to make a big move, a sudden SARS disrupted all his plans.
Before the outbreak of SARS in April, the movie had just finished filming, but what a natural disaster made the entire crew panic.
Later, when someone in the crew began to catch a cold and fever, showing some symptoms of SARS infection, everyone's defense line had collapsed, and they were frightened all day long, and they were not in the state at all.
In this case, Feng Jiawei had to postpone the shooting plan even if he was reluctant.
But this has come and gone, the labor cost has already been invested, and part of the prepaid salary, plus the cost of renting costumes and props and building the venue, has been smashed into more than 10 million yuan one after another.
I want to restart the plan, but I don't know when it will take, and there are still too many problems to solve.
It must be known that for a film with an investment of tens of millions, from drama management to group performances, the number of people involved in the production can range from dozens to hundreds, and it is a hard work to bring these people back together.
Those stars and directors are not easy to solve, even if they are bound by contracts, but the size is also a wrist, usually they go to the north and south to make money, if you want to rearrange the right schedule, you don't know when you need to wait.
In fact, so far, Feng Jiawei has received a notice that the No. 2 heroine wants to terminate the contract, and said that he is willing to pay liquidated damages.
In addition, those group performances with temporary salaries are also difficult to arrange, and it is impossible for people to obey the call at any time for your salary of a hundred or so yuan a day, and some people may have changed careers during this time. When the group performers are all rushing to get out of the way and finally get to the top, it is right to want to turn over and become a big star, but the desire is stronger than this, first of all, you have to be well fed and clothed.
The consequence of these problems is that the cost increases.
To give a simple example, once the female No. 2 does not come, the scenes that have been filmed in the early stage have to be repeated, resulting in a waste of submission, a waste of time, and a lot of expenses for hundreds of people to spend a day on box lunches.
Not to mention, this interruption costs money to rebuild the filming location, and it still costs money to rent costumes and props again......
For Feng Jiawei, the investment in the early stage is basically a waste, and restarting the shooting plan is basically not much different from starting over.
Considering these problems, Feng Jiawei only felt that one head and two were big. The original confidence has become full of heart.
If this is a loss, how to fill the hole is to be considered, and in addition, how should he explain to his friends in the circle?
People live with a face, he boasted to his partners in the circle that he was going to Haikou to make money, and he finally raised funds, if he made a tiger, where would he put his face?
It can be said that this has become a difficult problem in front of him, and how to cross this threshold is a problem that he has been worried about recently.
In the final analysis, it is a matter of money, or rather, the lack of a way to make money.
Thinking of money, he naturally inevitably thought of Gu Heng, in his eyes, among the people of the same level around him, if anyone could find a way to make money for him, only Gu Heng could help.
Although it is not clear what Gu Heng's net worth is now, judging from several gatherings in the circle, many of the topics discussed are revolving around Gu Heng, talking about how popular YY games are, which in a sense not only proves that Gu Heng's career is rising in a straight line, but also that his status in the circle is constantly improving.
This consideration made him a little envious and jealous, but at the same time, he wanted Gu Heng to take him to play.
Feng Jiawei's current general situation and psychology, of course Gu Heng knows that they are all mixed in the circle, and there is no big secret. It was precisely because he grasped the other party's current situation and general psychology that he put the first choice to solve the matter on Feng Jiawei, thinking that it was possible to let the other party contribute.
However, if you want to take it, you must give it first!
When the other party said his problem in distress and vaguely expressed his intention to ask for help, Gu Heng pondered for a moment and threw out a plan that he had thought of before coming.
"The water in the film and television industry is not impossible, but we must change our strategy, give up the film market that has not yet risen, and focus on TV dramas. ”
Feng Jiawei didn't understand and asked, "What do you say?"
Old God Gu Heng took a sip of tea and said, "Although I only adjusted the plan, for you, Brother Feng, the benefits are definitely manifold. ”
Since he has the confidence to make suggestions, Gu Heng has prepared a set of rhetoric.
The advantages of investing in TV series are indeed obvious, for two reasons:
First of all, in recent years, due to piracy, small paying groups and other reasons, the film market has been sluggish, even if it is a blockbuster like "Hero", if you want to make money, you have to rely on foreign markets.
But TV dramas are different, the domestic market is very large, and the audience is also very wide, it can be said that the entertainment activities of many families across the country are sitting by the TV and watching the golden theater at 8 o'clock in the evening.
Having a broad audience base means that there is a market.
As long as a drama is popular, then the TV station's various advertising revenues will skyrocket, in the current era, the main channel for major enterprises in the country to place advertisements is basically in the TV station.
As a producer, if a drama becomes popular, by transferring the second-round broadcast rights, you can easily recover the cost and make a lot of money.
Secondly, specializing in the TV drama market, Feng Jiawei's personal advantages will be greatly reflected.
Because Xiangshi has a Mango Satellite TV that has a large share of ratings in the country, and here is Feng Jiawei's home field.
Investing in TV dramas, as long as the level of the drama is generally over, he can rely on his own relationship to put the company's TV series on Mango Satellite TV, and stir up the company's TV series through this channel.
As long as the fame comes out, is it still difficult to make money?
After a reasonable analysis, Feng Jiawei's eyes gradually bloomed.
"If it's a TV series, I'll consider investing. ”
In the end, Gu Heng's statement of no seriousness became the last weight that prompted Feng Jiawei to make up his mind.
