Chapter 496: Layout (Fourth Update)
Although the state supports the film industry to go global, in order to protect its own cultural industry, Xiangjiang here stipulates that entertainment film companies must find local companies to establish joint ventures. Such conditions also stuck Lin Chen's idea of going it alone.
The news of Lin Chen's trip to Xiangjiang first caused waves in the mainland entertainment circle, and many melon-eating people and Lin Chen's fans also discussed this matter.
Compared with the golden age of Xiangjiang, it is estimated that it is the most sluggish time for Xiangjiang films.
"Uniasia Entertainment" is the best example. Relying on a few big-budget movies, a first-class film and television company was dragged into the stream.
The reason why "Movie King Entertainment" is dominant is not that it has made any blockbusters, but that it has adopted the method of self-preservation.
"Lin Chen is going to Xiangjiang to make a movie, what is the situation. “
"Xiangjiang movies seem to have become a thing of the past, why should Lin Chen muddy the waters?"
"Support Lin Chen, I think there should be a savior in the film industry in Xiangjiang, and Lin Chen is probably that savior"
"Lin Chen's savior, what are you kidding, everyone has given up on their own, why should Lin Chen muddy the waters?"
……
As for industry peers, they also have some different opinions on Lin Chen's ideas, after all, it is an indisputable fact that Xiangjiang films are in recession.
There are very few movies released in the mainland in Xiangjiang that really cause a sensation, and Long Qi is Lin Chen is going to Xiangjiang, and most professionals in the industry think that Lin Chen will not have any breakthrough this time.
Although many people in the industry believe that Lin Chen will return in vain. However, some people believe that with the current strength of Chopsticks Brothers Media, even if they go to Xiangjiang willfully, what if they go to Xiangjiang.
On March 5, Lin Chen and a group of employees of the Chopsticks Brothers officially went to Xiangjiang.
The news of Lin Chen's visit to Xiangjiang has also been heard in the Xiangjiang entertainment circle.
It has become an indisputable fact that Xiangjiang Pictures has not been angry over the years, but after all, the emaciated camel is better than the horse, although it is sluggish, but Xiangjiang's movies must have led the mainland. The film and television industry in Hong Kong is still very developed.
Of course, compared to the peak, many of these film and television industries have been idle.
Lin Chen's visit to Xiangjiang to set up a film and television company also aroused discussion among some people in the film and television industry.
"Although Lin Chen is well-known in the mainland, I don't think Lin Chen can do anything in Xiangjiang. ”
"I think it's a bit ridiculous to have a mainland director teach us how to make films. ”
"Although I also like some of Lin Chen's movies, we don't know what to shoot ourselves, does Lin Chen really know what to shoot? .
……
There was a heated discussion on the Internet about Lin Chen's visit to Xiangjiang.
Xiangjiang people naturally have a certain confidence in looking at Lin Chen in this way, and Xiangjiang has dominated the development direction of the mainland film industry for decades. Suddenly, a mainland director announced his entry into the Xiangjiang market, which naturally pricked the nerves of some Xiangjiang people.
It's like the boss who once led you, and suddenly one day, a little brother who followed the boss wanted to come to the boss's territory to teach the boss how to behave. Old nature is a little nervous.
Of course, the status of this boss is no longer what it used to be, and even many people shouted the slogan that Xiangjiang Pictures would die.
Of course, to teach the boss to be a man, you have to come up with some achievements, and everyone is thinking about what Lin Chen's first movie will be made when he comes to Xiangjiang.
After Lin Chen's people arrived at the airport, Pan Bin, the director of "Uniasia Entertainment", came to pick up Lin Chen.
In any case, "Plaza Asia Entertainment" has not left much time for itself in the context of Xiangjiang Film's lack of influence and the failure of its own decision-making.
Therefore, regarding Lin Chen's coming to Xiangjiang to set up a film and television company, "Uniasia Entertainment" naturally wants to gamble.
"Mr. Lin, we Mr. Li have held a banquet for you at the Xiangjiang Hotel, I hope you can enjoy it.
In just a few years, the sense of spirit of "Uniasia Entertainment" no longer exists.
After arranging the place to do it, Lin Chen went straight to the Xiangjiang Hotel with Huang Xiaoqiang and Zhang Hao.
On this kind of negotiation occasion, Lin Chen did not bring Li Shan and Xia Liyi.
Li Jiangneng of "Uniasia Entertainment" attended this kind of banquet, naturally to discuss the establishment of a joint venture company with Lin Chen.
On the way to the Xiangjiang Hotel, Zhang Hao and Huang Xiaoqiang were also discussing the proportion of joint venture film companies.
"Mr. Lin, although Huanya Entertainment is no longer what it used to be, the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse after all. “
Huang Xiaoqiang said: "When negotiating with such a company, we obviously need to set a bottom line for ourselves. ”
Zhang Hao said: "Filming a movie in Xiangjiang, whether it is the arrangement of the crew or the actors, with the help of 'Uniasia Entertainment', we obviously have to save a lot of trouble." ”
Although Heung Kong Pictures is no longer controlled by the gang more than ten years ago, the various relationships between Heung Kong Film Industry are still complicated.
Zhang Hao's analysis also has a certain proportion.
But Lin Chen wants to establish a joint venture film company with "Uniasia Entertainment", which is naturally dominant.
"Our bottom line is to open up. ”
Lin Chen said: "If "Uniasia Entertainment" wants to cooperate, the shareholding ratio shall not be higher than 30%. ”
Listening to Lin Chen's bottom line, Zhang Hao and Huang Xiaoqiang both felt a little unrealistic.
"Mr. Lin, this is Xiangjiang after all. “
Zhang Hao said: "Isn't this condition a bit harsh?"
Huang Xiaoqiang also agreed with Zhang Hao's opinion: "Mr. Lin, if you have this condition, you will definitely talk to 'Uniasia Entertainment'!"
"Then there's no need to talk about it. ”
Lin Chen said: "Then we will find other partners, there will always be people who accept this condition." ”
Lin Chen felt that with the entertainment wealth in the 'Almighty Star', 30% of it was also cheaper for the partner.
The other party only needs to provide the filming crew, and then you can count the money, so why do it?
What's more, behind Lin Chen, there is also a huge mainland market.
When he arrived at the hotel, just as Lin Chen thought, Li Jiang came forward in person, naturally wanting to talk to Lin Chen about the cooperation company.
Compared with some unfavorable in the Xiangjiang film industry, Li Jiang believes in Lin Chen, after all, "A Chinese Ghost Story" is the best proof.
"Mr. Lin!"
"Mr. Li!"
……
After a brief pleasantries, everyone went straight to the point.
"Mr. Lin, I think we can build a new joint venture with each other. ”
Li Jiang, the general manager, said: "We can provide all the resources you want in Xiangjiang. “
Lin Chen naturally understood what Li Jiang meant, and told Lin Chen that "Uniasia Entertainment" was very important to the development of Lin Chen's Xiangjiang.
"We discussed, and it is not the first time that we have cooperated with Mr. Lin. In the past, the cooperation between the two sides was very pleasant. “
Director Pan Bin said: "Therefore, the proportion of this joint venture, we can completely account for half of the joint venture. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Hao and Huang Xiaoqiang were expecting that their idea just now was correct, and the proportion of shares in Sanqikai was not easy to talk about for Uniasia Entertainment.
Regarding Pan Bin's idea, Lin Chen asked: "In addition to the crew, what else can 'Uniasia Entertainment' provide us?"
Lin Chen's words made the atmosphere at the scene a little serious.
As Lin Chen said, apart from the crew, 'Uniasia Entertainment" can't provide anything to Lin Chen.
As for the creativity and script, if 'Uniasia Entertainment' really had any ideas, it would have proven itself a long time ago.
Seeing that the atmosphere was harmonious and embarrassing, Pan Bin said: "Then what does Mr. Lin think about the shareholding ratio?"
"Twenty-eight ratio!"
Lin Chen said calmly: "If we want to cooperate, the shareholding ratio of 'Uniasia Entertainment' will not exceed two. ”
Lin Chen's words made the negotiation atmosphere at the dinner table even more embarrassing.
