Chapter 208: Luring the Wolf into the House
Chapter 208 lures the wolf into the room
"Although there is not yet a boom in the investment industry in China, I think Mr. Wang should have some understanding of it. "Zhou Huai smiled" www.biquge.info win-win situation is the best situation, if not, it is best to respect the interests of investors. ”
Wang Yao frowned.
However, how to evaluate this interest, there is a long-term and short-term vision, and it is not the same, depending on the business positioning of the investor. Zhou Huai's words changed.
"What is your position?" asked Wang Yao.
"There is no positioning at the moment. Zhou Huai smiled and shrugged, "The entire economic situation in China is not clear, and it is impossible for me to have any ability to make decisions, so I can only look at the present and exchange the lowest investment for the highest return." ”
Wang Yao took a deep breath and nodded, "I seem to understand." ”
"If I didn't know that you were a student of Mr. Qi Gong, I really couldn't figure out your purpose in asking this question. Zhou Huai smiled, "But I admire you scholars very much, and you are worried about the world." ”
Wang Yao smiled.
"To be honest, I grew up abroad at the age of fifteen, and my education was all Western, but I have expectations for my motherland. Zhou Huai said with a smile, "But there is an expectation for a while, and practice is another moment, I have to make sure that I can live to the right time to realize this expectation." ”
Wang Yao nodded, "I understand, but I'm still glad that you can have a trace of expectation." ”
"To be honest, now Longguo's investment in the cultural industry is in vain. Zhou Huai smiled, "This is different from investing in charity, charity is at least to leave something that can be seen by the eyes to infect others, culture itself is nothing, although its power is enough to change the world so terrible, but if it is not successful, it cannot become benevolent." ”
"The real purpose of this movie is to leave a part of the market and signboards after foreign Hollywood blockbusters open up in the future, right? Wang Yao asked with a smile.
"Not exactly. Zhou Huai shook his head, "Don't be so pessimistic, I still recognize Director Zhang's ability, but since this film, domestic films have truly entered the era of fast food commercial blockbusters, which is called popcorn movies in the West." ”
"But don't you think that the foundation is unstable?" Wang Yao asked with a frown.
"Do you know that the Dragon Kingdom is a country with a large population?" Zhou Huai said with a smile.
Wang Yaoleng paused.
"Compared with the quality, it is difficult to compare with the mature western industrial areas, so the next domestic market, compared with the quantity. Zhou Huai said with a smile, "Director Zhang's film can have a milestone role, not only for the domestic market, but also for the foreign market, we are contacting a well-known independent film investor in Hollywood, and he will be allowed to open up the situation in Hollywood." ”
Wang Yao frowned, "You seem to be very sure." ”
"The main thing is that I'm sure of him. Zhou Huai smiled, "But the price is that after the market is developed in the future, our investment will flow abroad." ”
"You really haven't thought about cultivating a group of local film elites in China?" Wang Yao asked in a deep voice.
"Have you ever had a puppy?" Zhou Huai asked with a smile.
Wang Yao was stunned and shook his head.
"Raising a puppy is not just about giving it food. Zhou Huai smiled, "Clean, clean up the feces, walk, and take care of its mood, don't let it get sick, but despite this, if you don't close the door one day, it may still run to the street and be caught and eaten by bad people." ”
Zhou Huai was smiling when he said it, but it made Wang Yao feel chills for a while.
"You can guarantee that you will love it, but you can't guarantee that everyone will love it, after all, not everyone regards the dog as a pet, and some people think that it is just a physical object like eating pigs, cattle and sheep. Zhou Huai said with a smile, "The current film market is the same, even if it is vigorously maintained, developed, and invested, it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be some bad people who will fight its idea." ”
Wang Yao was stunned.
"In the past, Xiangjiang films could develop, at the beginning, they relied on **** and the investors who shot the films, all of them were gangster backgrounds, in order to make money, invested 1 million, as long as the return of 30W was earned, the Xiangjiang film industry relied on this way to cultivate an audience, and then slowly developed to a regular one, and later became a film and television circle of a certain scale, but in that era, there were many people who made money, and the market could be smashed out, and the domestic market was not the same as a little money. Zhou Huai said with a smile
"And the bad guy I just said refers to a kind of investor that may appear in the future, we develop the market in front, he makes money in the back, we invest in high-quality films, they follow the trend in the back, shoot some bad movies with low investment, you also know that the production of a movie takes at least half a year, and once the market is developed, there will be a gap, and this batch of bad films will make up for this part of the gap, they don't need to do anything, just seize the hot theme and follow the trend to shoot low-cost bad movies, you can get huge returns, over time, it's like a horse race, and those of us in front of us are racing to death, they clap their hands, changed careers to another industry, and the entire film industry was ruined. ”
Zhou Huai rubbed his temples after speaking, "Although letting Western films occupy the domestic box office, make our money, and affect our audience's three views is not conducive to the development of the country, but in order for the film market to survive, this period of patience should be worth it." ”
Wang Yao pursed the corners of his mouth, "This blank space, uncontrollable?"
Zhou Huai glanced at Wang Yao and said with a smile, "You think of human nature too kindly, in the matter of interests, human nature will seem very small, and if you talk to them about culture, the future, and feelings, you will be ridiculed for being incomplete, because not everyone is like you, with a sense of social responsibility and national glory, and there will be some people who use these two points to make money, consume, and squeeze the kindness and trust of the people, so that these two things will completely become a gimmick to earn benefits." ”
Wang Yao gasped.
"However, we also have a plan, and when the industrial scale is on par with the West, the market will still be snatched back by us, and it will be within 20 years. Zhou Huai said.
"Twenty years, that is, at least four generations of people who have lived under the rule of Western values, ate all things with Western characteristics, and then little by little forgot about our own things. Wang Yao smiled dumbly.
Zhou Huai pursed his lips, "Don't be so pessimistic, there will be some people who will not be eroded in twenty years, we can ensure our own characteristics, we are now studying a Dragon Country film training base, and the main trend of culture is not necessarily the folk, it is mainly a matter of education." ”
"In the age of media, the power of education will be very weak. Wang Yao said in a deep voice, "And in order to ensure the correctness of 'freedom of speech', the official will not give guidance, and it seems that the media will be driven by interests at that time." ”
Zhou Huai glanced at Wang Yao in surprise: "I didn't expect you to see these things so thoroughly." ”
"Rotting comes out of the foundation. Wang Yao said in a deep voice, "I respect what you said about this kind of delaying tactics, but I don't agree, the domestic market is the local cultural industry to develop, with the help of external forces, after all, it is to lead the wolf into the room." ”
Zhou Huai smiled, "Even if it is a local development, but the time is very urgent, last year more than 80 films were produced in China, only 30 recovered the cost, 21 made a profit, and the remaining 50 were all loss-making, although there is a part of the state subsidy, but it is still an ugly situation, and Hollywood produced more than 300 films last year, and the scale of this industry cannot be compared." ”
"But I've checked Dongying and Goryeo next door. Wang Yao said loudly.
Zhou Huai raised his eyebrows slightly, "After all, they are two countries with small populations." ”
"Small countries can do it, why can't big countries do it?" Wang Yao asked rhetorically.
Zhou Huai frowned, feeling that Wang Yao was stubborn and a little cute.
"The water is coming. At this time, Zheng Xixi came in with a plate, in addition to a glass of water and a glass of juice, there were also some snacks.
Zhou Huai picked up the juice and took a sip, and said to Zheng Xixi, "I'm about to be moved by Mr. Wang's words, if you really make any decisions and the company goes bankrupt, you have to take me in in the future." ”
Zheng Xixi glanced at him, and turned his head to look at Wang Yao, "You said it?"
"Not yet. Wang Yao shook his head, took a sip of water, and smiled at Zhou Huai, "First of all, thank you Mr. Zhou for patiently explaining to me for so long." ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, it's you who taught me, compared to you, I'm really ashamed. Zhou Huai smiled.
"I would like to be a part of your company in this investment. Wang Yao said.
Zhou Huai raised his eyebrows slightly, "Participate, Mr. Wang, this is not a small amount." ”
"Fifty million, but I hope Mr. Zhou can seriously consider the matter of cultivating domestic filmmakers. Wang Yao said in a deep voice.
Zhou Huai's pupils contracted, and he looked at Wang Yao in surprise, "Fifty million dragon coins?"
Wang Yao nodded, "Cash, but don't tell others, invest in your name, and then divide the achievements." ”
Zhou Huai blinked and smiled, "I really didn't expect Mr. Wang to be so bold, knowing that this is a pit, he still jumped into it." ”
