Chapter 096: Wanda and Li Xiang's plan

Wanda does account for 30% of the shares of Feixiang Studio, but that has nothing to do with Wanda Film and Television, which will be established in the summer, which is prepared by Mr. Wang for Mr. Wang, who is about to graduate and return to China.

Originally, the king always thought that Li Xiang, a young man like his nephew, was a little talented, and he only invested a small amount of money - 100 million, this money is not sprinkling water for the king?

But later, the development of Feixiang Studio far exceeded his expectations, and the original investment of 100 million yuan has doubled in just over 1 year.

If you don't believe me, you can go out and inquire, there are a few film production companies in the world, and there are very few that can return on their costs or even make money by relying on the box office alone.

The money-making movies you see are only less than 5% of the number of movies produced by Hollywood every year, and most of them are money-losing or bad movies, so don't think that we have more bad movies than others, you just don't have the opportunity to see bad foreign movies in domestic theaters.

There are only 20 introduction places every year, and Huaying must be introducing good-looking films with box office potential.

One is carefully selected, the other is a normal release, and the gap will naturally come out, which is also something that can't be helped.

To be honest, this is a bit unfair to our domestic films, but there has never been fairness in the world, backwardness will inevitably be beaten, crying and crying will only ask the General Administration for film protection and art theaters, that is called shameless, it will only make the people hate it even more, once this populist sentiment rises, it will even affect well-made domestic films!

Think about why so many people scold "Wolf Warrior 2"? It is true that there are many people who can't stand up after kneeling for a long time, but aren't there also people who hate it because they can only choose this movie that month? There must be some.

It's a bit far, speaking of Wanda, Wanda Film and Television, which has been prepared for a long time in the summer of 09, will definitely be established, but after its establishment, it faces a problem: there is no content.

Looking at the entire China Entertainment market, in a short period of time, there is only one person who can be recruited, and only Li Xiang is there.

Although Li Xiang's father is Wanda's person, but his brother still accounts clearly, the king can always rely on his face to let Li Xiang come to help him make a movie, Li Xiang will definitely agree because of his feelings, but what about in the future?

People also have their own plans, and although the king is always domineering, he also knows that the earth does not revolve around him.

Sponsoring "The Invisible Guest" is just the first step of showing goodwill, according to Li's father, a 'double agent', Li wants to have a big plan next summer, which is what the king always cares about.

But as a film director, who doesn't want to make a movie with a big investment and a big budget? Throughout the two years that Li Xiang has returned to China, although the box office is very good, to put it bluntly, it is all a small fight. (In the eyes of Mr. Wang, after all, people's small goal is to earn 100 million first)

The king always knew that this kid could not be satisfied with a small investment, and sure enough, when he heard that the expected investment of this big plan was not less than 80 million US dollars, the king always knew that the opportunity had come.

How much liquidity does Feixiang have, Wanda's people are very clear, and it would be good to be able to take out half of the $80 million, but which company dares to use all its liquidity?

Therefore, it is objectively estimated that Feixiang's investment amount is about 20 million US dollars, and there is another shareholder, optical fiber, although it is more abundant than Feixiang's funds, but film and television media companies, where can they have more funds if they are not listed?

In addition, Huaying, Huayi, and Bona, some people are willing to invest in Li Xiang, and there is no shortage of Wanda, if they hold the shelf, it is difficult to ensure that there will be a rift with Li Xiang, there is no need for that.

So on the last day of 08, the king sent Zhang Lin to visit Li Xiang again.

The crew has already rushed to Changbai Mountain Resort first, and Li Xiang and Yang Mi will take the first flight tomorrow morning to meet the crew because they are going home for a party.

···

At Li's father's house, Yang Mi was dragged away by Li's mother to chat, and only Li's father, Li Xiang and Zhang Lin who came to visit were left in the living room.

"Let's talk, I'll go to the study to write for a while!" Dad Li found an excuse to leave, if he was there, the scene would be a little embarrassing, on one side was the company he regarded as his home, and on the other side was his precious son, and he was uncomfortable with either side.

"Brother Zhang, let's not be polite, if you have anything to say, just say it!" Li wanted to get straight to the point and get straight to the point.

"Okay, think about it, I just want to know your plans for next year. ”

"The Invisible Guest will be filmed in half a month at most, and I'm going to release it on Valentine's Day. At the end of February, I'll be leaving for the U.S. with a big $80 million production that will be co-produced by my Flying Studio and Girls Studios in the United States. "Things should not be spoken to people, especially if he is the secretary of the king.

"80 million US dollars, how sure is it?" Zhang Lin couldn't help but be speechless, converted into soft sister coins, it is more than 500 million.

"The movie script is based on the novel of the same name, this novel sells particularly well in North America, and there are many fans, as long as I make the movie in a proper manner, I dare not say that I will make money, and I shouldn't lose money!" Li Xiang has this confidence, two lifetimes of director experience, and it would be too wasteful to be able to get "The Hunger Games".

"How big is the gap in funds?" is what Zhang Lin is most concerned about, which is related to whether Wanda Film and Television's first shot can be fired.

"Feixiang paid 20 million US dollars, the optical fiber side took out 25 million US dollars, Huaying invested 5 million, and I still have to set aside 5 million for Lionsgate, a total of 25 million is still missing!

"Think about it, the rest of the funds, we Wanda Film and Television will come out, are you optimistic?" Don't be surprised, a famous director has such benefits, and investors beg you to use his money.

Just like the later "Operation Red Sea", after Lin Chaoxian's "Operation Mekong", his fame has been completely played, and there are really countless people who have invested in his films, just look at the long list of film companies at the beginning of the movie.

It's up to you to bring something to the film, but money alone isn't enough, either you can help with the distribution, or you can bring in the actors that the director likes, in short, you can offer more than just money to bring you play.

"I don't think I'm afraid of your jokes, I'm going to use your movie as the opening work of Wanda Film and Television, so please agree to your Brother Zhang's request no matter what!" Zhang Lin looked a little anxious.

"I promise you, if everything goes well, the movie will start filming in May, and then Brother Zhang, your funds must be in place!" Li Xiang calculated the time and said to Zhang Lin.

"Please, okay!" Zhang Lin said happily.
