Verse 428: Half-believing or not
After Du An's interim plan was announced, several people involved in the video conference had different expressions: Feng Kang was a little confused, Yin Anan was smiling and couldn't see his emotions, Cheng Tailai still had empty eyes and was obviously not in the meeting, not knowing what he was thinking, and Shu Yu was expressionless and had a poker face. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It can be seen from his expression that only Feng Kang is really following his train of thought, so he will consider such a consequence: If such a box-office award really comes out and stands on its feet and becomes a heavyweight award that many people pay attention to, then it is very likely to change the development pattern of Chinese films, bring Chinese films out of traditional aesthetic standards, and rush to a place that is likely to be hell.
But several other people obviously thought he was farting - of course, selectively thinking that he was farting, which can be heard from Yin An'an's next words.
"Director Du, if you say so, what if you want to come up with 5 works next year?"
Yin Anan spoke, with a subtle smile on his face and anticipation in his eyes, "I come up with 5 works a year, although 4 of them are only producers, but with your participation, it must be almost the same, and it should be at the level of "Crazy Stone", right?
Although on the surface it sounded like she cared about herself, Duane could hear the real point of her words - she was more concerned about whether she could do it, and whether she could produce such a result.
Presumably she will have to ask about the injection ratio later, Duane also smiled and looked at the camera, thinking.
Shu Yu rejected his proposal expressionlessly, "I still insist on what I just suggested, and select the one with the best market feedback from the current works, and you will shoot it, one a year is enough, and ensuring quality is the long-term path to sustainable development. ”
Shu Yu's words warmed Du An's heart: although she used the reason for sustainable development, Du An's belief that she still cared about herself, and she was afraid that her workload would be too great to bear.
As soon as Shu Yu finished speaking, Yin Anan followed and said: "Mr. Shu has a point, I think so too, do what you can." But I think we can leave this issue to a later discussion, and I think we should first reach a consensus, that is, at least one of these works that are being released in our theaters must be adapted into films, right?"
Everyone agrees with her.
Yin Anan nodded and said: "That's right, this is the main issue, the quantity is only a secondary issue, we can discuss it slowly in the future, and the primary issue now is about the capital injection ratio." ”
Sure enough, just as Duane had just thought, she thought of this question directly.
Du An's always knew that the reason why Yin An'an agreed to invest in Chang'an was to cooperate with herself, especially after "Liberation Day" won the first place in the world box office of a single film, she probably wanted to cooperate with herself more eagerly, and now that she really has the opportunity to cooperate, she will naturally not let it go.
"For this problem, I want to divide it into two aspects, one is the situation that Director Du just mentioned that each family has to go on, and the other is the situation that Mr. Shu mentioned to screen out one to shoot. ”
The meeting has now entered Yin An'an's rhythm, several people, including Du An, listened to her talk, and even Cheng Tailai, who had been in a daze, came back to his senses, holding his cheek with one hand, staring at Yin Anan on the monitor with an obsessive face, and almost didn't drool a little.
The charm of beautiful women is also great, Duane just talked about him for a long time, he is all out of the world.
"If it's the first case, it should be common sense that each company should invest in its own film, but then there will be a problem, and that is the problem of unfair competition. ”
Feng Kang frowned, obviously not knowing how the issue of unfair competition was involved in this, but Du An was thoughtful, and probably guessed the meaning of Yin An'an's words.
Her mind is really fast, she has just put forward this idea, she can find some of the loopholes in such a short time, this kind of real elite rich second generation is indeed very smart.
And Yin An'an's next words explained Feng Kang's doubts.
"If it is their own investment, the investment amount of each family must not be equal, for example, Director Du's family has a big business and spends money everywhere, so the money invested in the movie Paramount must not be too much, for example, 20 million, and I just have spare money on hand, and I have no place to invest, so it is likely that I will inject 200 million. ”
Several people listened quietly, and no one jumped out to say that there was something wrong with her hypothesis.
"In this way, if the final comprehensive box office comes out, for example, the comprehensive box office of Paramount's 20 million work is 300 million, and the comprehensive box office of our 200 million investment work on Chang'an Road is 310 million, then can we say that the movie we invested in is better than the movie invested by Paramount? Not necessarily, after all, the investment costs are different, and the same is to get a box office of 300 million, which is called a failure for a movie with a total cost of 300 million, but it is a success for a movie with a total cost of 20 million, so if it is done like this, this kind of competition itself is unfair. ”
"Although we use money to pile up this award, as long as it is a selection activity, no matter what the criteria for his selection are, there is one thing to abide by first, and I think that is fairness. Fairness is the foundation of every award, otherwise the award will not be convincing. ”
"Based on this principle of fairness, I think that if it is the first case, no matter which one of the plays, the investment needs to be completed by several of us, and then I will talk about the second case. ”
It's a fart, anyway, when it comes to the latter conclusion, this is it.
Du An's heart was slandering, and he had already guessed what Yin Anan was going to say.
"The second is the screening proposed by Mr. Shu to be filmed, if this screened work is a work on Chang'an Road, is it all my family responsible for all the investment and income?"
Yin Anan shook his head, "I don't think it should be like this. ”
Duane looked at her face.
She is a very beautiful woman, with a kind of lady elegance, she is at home wearing a conservative white satin pajamas, her hair is tied up, and she looks like an ancient lady, but now the way she speaks confidently makes people realize that the woman in front of the camera is a confident and decisive modern mature elite woman.
"It's okay if it's a loss of money, and I admit it myself, but if the producer or even the director is Director Du, I don't think there will be the possibility of losing money, and making money is almost certain. If that's the case, then what will the other companies think? Why would they choose our family to shoot instead of theirs, of course, I know that several of us who are here now will not have such thoughts, but I think that the Chang'an system will inevitably grow and develop, and with more and more personnel, such an idea will inevitably appear, and at that time this alliance will have a crack, and once the crack occurs, then it will not be far from the alliance falling apart. ”
"But if several companies come together to inject money, then the collapse of the alliance due to the uneven distribution of benefits will no longer exist. ”
When Yin Anan said this, he finally put down the pen that he had been holding in his hand and waved unconsciously in the air, and made a concluding speech.
"Therefore, no matter what kind of situation is considered, I think that on the issue of capital injection, we must unite to ensure that everyone can participate, so as to promote the fairness of the award that Director Du just mentioned, and ensure the stability of the Chang'an system, and ensure that everyone works together to develop. ”
Speaking of which, there is only one focus of her words, that is-to pay together, to send together, Duane, you kid can't leave me alone.
"Good!"
Before the other people at the meeting could speak, Cheng Tailai, the first one who had been wandering outside the world, applauded loudly, "Well said!
However, looking at his obsessed look, it is estimated that he didn't hear what Yin Anan said just now.
But Du An's also had to admit that Yin An'an did say it very well, the logic was smooth, and the points were found very accurately, and it was deeply felt that her appeal was justified and put forward, and the brainwashing technique was really good, but the only difference with Duane was that Duan generally took a positive way of drawing a big pie, while Yin Anan argued more from the negative side, which Du An's felt was worth learning from.
"Mr. Yin, you said very well, I have no opinion. ”
Duane was the first to take a stand.
In fact, even if Yin Anan doesn't bring it up, he will find an opportunity to bring it up, because he has no money.
Although he now has 270 million for the time being, several of his companies need money, and there are so many movies he wants to invest in, so much money is not enough, and several other companies will inevitably be needed to provide funds.
After Duane expressed his position, several others also expressed their opinions one by one, and they all expressed their approval: probably in their opinion, it is Duane who suffers the most, since Duane himself doesn't mind, then they can take this hitchhiker naturally There is no reason to disagree. However, in Duane's view, there is no such thing as a loss, because this market is like this, some people have money, some people have resources, if the two sides cooperate, it is a win-win situation, if someone feels that they are at a loss and refuse to cooperate, then the two sides waste time to make money together, always thinking about whether they have suffered a loss and refuse to give others a bite of meat to eat, should have been eliminated by this increasingly competitive market.
In fact, this first interim meeting can not talk about too many substantive things, Duane just met with them, and told them about his idea in general, so that they have a psychological preparation, and did not expect them to accept it immediately and start immediately, specific things must still go through a cycle of mutual contact to achieve, so after talking about some of the key points to be discussed, this temporary meeting is over, and from this meeting, Duane also saw something, that is, after several people at the meeting, generally did not have any confidence in his industrial layout, and was very interested in the specific thing he was going to do -- making a movie.
After all, he is famous for making money as a director, making one to make one and earning one, and I haven't heard of any of his movies that don't make money.
But it doesn't matter, everything can be done step by step.
Duane was filming on this small island in southern China, preparing for his next film, and constantly negotiating and communicating with distant partners, and time passed little by little under such circumstances, and soon entered February, which is about to usher in the Lunar New Year.
