Chapter 354 This is not good

I didn't know that I was being remembered by many people, and Wang Yao was discussing a very important issue with Harvey, that is, the future development direction of Yew Wah. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wang Yao wants to buy some small and medium-sized theater chains and then integrate resources, while Harvey feels that he should use the money to invest in movies, at least wait until there is a stable income after investing in a few mature movies before buying theaters.

"Take out 100 million to buy, how many screens can you buy?" Wang Yao asked.

"Our current algorithm is that a location is 800 US dollars, 120,000 seats, and a medium-sized movie theater is counted as 1,000 seats, 5 halls, 120 houses, and 600 screens. Harvey quickly calculated, "I haven't counted the money for the renovation." ”

"Don't reinstall, with 600 screens, our movies don't have to pay for theaters, and we can also sell snacks. Wang Yao said with a smile.

"But there are times when you lose money, and movies are not the peak season of the year, boss. Harvey said with a sad face, "It's not mature to buy such a deal now, otherwise why do you think I haven't bought more theaters?"

"So if you invest in it, can you guarantee that it will return to its original cost? Even if you invest in all small-budget movies, 200W one, it is considered to be 100W, 30 films, to ensure that each 1000W box office can return to the cost, assuming that five films lose money, then this investment is a failure" Wang Yao said with a smile.

"But to raise another Quentin Tarantino is a big deal. Harvey said.

"But you can't get involved in Quentin's film now. Wang Yao shrugged.

Harvey's expression froze.

"Boss, you have to learn to plan for yourself, I think the value retention rate of the academy selection is higher than that of cultivating directors, what do you think? Wang Yao said with a smile.

Harvey calls him the boss, and he calls Harvey boss, so it's more comfortable.

The little abacus in Harvey's heart started again, and after thinking about it for a while, he sighed, "No matter, you are the big boss who listens to you." ”

"We're planning for the future of the company. Wang Yao smiled, "I have a ten-year plan, three years, to train a group of painting departments that are not weaker than Disney's current team, and in five years, we will have half of the number of technicians in DreamWorks." ”

"And then?" Harvey was stunned, "Hollywood is almost saturated to feed DreamWorks and Pixar, what are you doing with so many people?"

"Hollywood is saturated, but there are other areas, such as gaming. Wang Yao said.

"Dude, didn't you see Spielberg's game companies losing money?" exclaimed Harvey.

"I'm still very confident in the game. Wang Yao pouted, "You also have to be confident, besides, we still have the entire Asian market." ”

"Asia is all piracy, and there is no market. Harvey rolled his eyes, "But I'm still curious where you're going to get so many people." ”

Wang Yao blinked, "It's a secret. ”

"Your proposals have passed, and now it's up to me. Harvey shrugged, "I can't cut off my investment funds, and I hope to guarantee a minimum of 100 million a year." ”

"Please, how much money does our company have?" Wang Yao rolled his eyes, "Fifty million." ”

"Eighty million, buy less screens. Harvey bargained.

"Eighty million in the first year, and if there is no income in the second year, it will drop to fifty million. Wang Yao gritted his teeth.

"Deal. Harvey grinned, "This is the notebook that Spielberg handed over, I recommend these." ”

"It's good that you value it. Wang Yao took it and looked at it.

"Hollywood Ending" - Woody Allen.

This name is not inconspicuous, even Wang Yao, who is not very familiar with Hollywood, knows this name, this is a strange old man who has been called by Europeans as 'the only intellectual in the American imperialist film industry', indifferent to fame and fortune, and does not seem to be so persistent in the pursuit of movies, but maintains a record of high production, one movie a year since his debut, and they are all self-written, directed and acted, and his talent is so embarrassing.

He doesn't like to go to any awards ceremony, even if he wins an award, because he doesn't feel that his work needs to be judged by others, and some people say that he is the luckiest artist in Hollywood.

Because he can shoot whatever he wants, without thinking about the box office, and there is no shortage of investors.

The criticism and satire in his works are too strong, so the style is so weird that it is difficult for the general audience to accept, but he is a god in the eyes of literary and artistic youth, and he can be regarded as a strange old man with contradictions.

Harvey invested in him, probably because he had other plans, anyway, it wasn't for the sake of money.

Alan also said that he would meet you sometime, and hoped that you would draw a portrait of him, and he was curious about what it was like to paint his face in the oriental style. Harvey said.

Wang Yao smiled, pointed to another name "Impunity" and said, "This one is okay, but you also want to invest in this one directed by Spielberg?"

"This is a movie that he invited to be a producer, and it should be profitable. Harvey said.

"It's a bit of a suspicion of taking advantage, and am I bringing money into the group?" Wang Yao smiled dumbly.

"Unless you want to steal the microphone of her director. Harvey laughed, "And this." ”

"Kill Bill sounds a bit like a violent movie. Wang Yao muttered, and after looking at the director, he understood, "Oh, Quentin Tarantino's." ”

"These are very stable. Harvey laughed.

"Well, you can just do it. Wang Yao smiled, "By the way, I also have a notebook, which was sent to me by a friend." ”

"Huaxia's book?" Harvey was stunned.

"No, it's a student at the American Imperial Film University who wants to shoot a graduation project. Wang Yao handed over the script.

"Relation?" Harvey opened the bag and took out the script of "81194" from it, "Look at the name, it won't be a decryption class." ”

Wang Yao smiled but said nothing.

This student named Hanks frantically submitted to the publishing house where Wang Yao was registered, and it has been delivered for almost a month, with more than 50 emails, two copies a day, expressing his good impression of this book and his intention to change, and then he also sent the written script over, hoping that the publishing house can forward it to 'Wang Gu'.

Wang Yao didn't care at first, and accidentally opened the publisher's mailbox only to find that it was stuffed with his email, and after reading it carefully, Wang Yao felt that this Hanks was very talented, although the changed values were still a little strange, but it was indeed the state of a Westerner.

Wang Yao thought about it, he definitely has no ability to shoot this novel at present, because it is difficult to explain when filmed, and once this incident is poked out, he will not be able to end it.

It's okay to change this Hanks to a Western version and shoot it.

"The script is very well written, and the single main line can be written so interestingly, this kid is very talented. After reading it, Harvey exclaimed, "I'll talk to him." ”

Wang Yao nodded, "You have the final say, I'll be responsible for helping." ”

"By the way, the second part can be completed next year, right? The second part of "Harry Potter" and "The Lord of the Rings" have already started filming, and next year there will be a universal Marvel test movie "The Incredible Hulk", and Hollywood movies are beginning to enter the era of technology. Harvey laughed.

"It's good, traditional movies and special effects movies are interspersed, so that there will be no aesthetic fatigue. Wang Yao got up and stretched.

"Going to the theater again?" Harvey asked.

"yes, Broadway is a really good place. Wang Yao smiled and waved his hand, "I'm going to make a stage play "Zodiac Turn". ”

"Okay, fight the stage version of 'The Lion King'?" Harvey cheered.

"It's a bit difficult, after all, it's the Chinese version. Wang Yao smiled and walked out of the office.

Dimon's car was waiting downstairs, and they would go to Broadway every night for the past two days, and the Broadway play made Wang Yao feel the charm of stage plays and operas, and at the same time had some ideas for improving the stage style of opera.

"When are you going to have one?" asked Dimon, "I've been blowing with my friends for a long time." ”

"There's not enough manpower. Wang Yao said with a smile.

"You play a one-man show alone, mainly to see new things. Dimon laughed.

"Why don't I invite a domestic master to perform. Wang Yao said with a smile.

"To be honest, your play has changed, it can't be said to cater to us, but at least we can have some sense of resonance, but the performances of your masters, I feel that there is something missing in addition to the beauty and delicacy. Diemon frowned.

"Maybe it's smart. Wang Yao whispered, "The opera has been tied up for too long, and some of it can't be let go." ”

"I listen to your old gentleman, opera is all about a board and a glance. Dimon said.

"If you don't press the board, isn't it out of tune?" Wang Yao chuckled, "I mean, there may be a little problem with the performance itself, something is missing, and it seems to be a little incomplete." ”

"What?" said Dimon.

"I'm still looking. Wang Yao sighed lightly.

In Broadway dramas, the use of stage and light effect vocal music is almost to the point of frenzy and seamless insertion, Wang Yao really feels that the actors on stage are sometimes really set off by these backgrounds, which cannot be said to be bad, but can only be said to be really smart.

In general, the opera still lacks the use of this modern technology, and the musical accompaniment maintains the original flavor Wang Yao thinks that it is no problem, but the lighting effect must be improved, and it is to enjoy the singing and dancing all night, Wang Yao and Dimon walked on New York Avenue with satisfaction, looking at the New York people who chatted with them after watching the play.

Wang Yao suddenly laughed, he was wondering, will there be such a year in the Dragon Kingdom, people who work all day will eat at night, go to the theater to watch a play, and then go home satisfied, repeating this life the next day.

For most people, life is boring and repetitive, because there is no choice to work, and the biggest use of entertainment motives such as operas and TV dramas is to allow the audience to experience different states of life and then get spiritual pleasure.

After all, body and mind, there must always be one on the way.

Since the body cannot break free from the shackles of life, it is also a good way to liberate the mind in art.

Whether it is joys and sorrows, joys, sorrows, or joys and sorrows on the stage, they are all an experience of life, and this experience still has a certain meaning, but Wang Yao doesn't want the future entertainment activities to be all naïve and superficial entertainment programs, and relying on works that have no own intentions to please the audience is a waste of life.

But perhaps, the audience who is accustomed to being wasted their lives has gradually become submissive, because all TV shows are like this, there is no choice, this is a passive choice brought about by the general environment.

Entertaining the audience is not the same as fooling and fooling the audience.

By that time, the country should also be prosperous, but I hope that this phenomenon of deceiving culture will not occur, because the country is prosperous, and morality seems to have regressed.

That's not good.
