Chapter 576: Tempering and Teaching the Bigwig-level Lamb

In December, Hualong Pictures held a year-end work summary meeting, presided over by CEO Shi Hao. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Seven shareholders attach great importance to it, the boss personally attends the remote video conference, and also requires Mai Xiaoyu to attend in person.

Alas, is it necessary?

The time wasted in the meeting, I can make many copies of the original paintings of "Little Demon Fairy 2"!

If it weren't for Comrade Lao Luo's special call to convey the meaning of the other six, Mai Xiaoyu would not have planned to delay Liu Xiaoli's time and let Lu Ning, director of the Mengren Film and Television Office, attend the remote video conference of Hualong Pictures' year-end work summary on his behalf.

Hualong Pictures has been established for more than a year, and it has not been fully on the right track, and it has been in the stage of burning money.

The phenomenon of Chinese exclusion in the United States is relatively serious...... Not only Chinese, but also non-whites are vulnerable to ostracism.

Hualong Pictures is a film production and distribution company established in the United States and funded by the Chinese people. Although it is possible to use the relationship network of seven shareholders other than Meng Ren to develop the layout in the United States, the resistance and difficulty are still not small.

So far, it has only reached a cooperation agreement with one movie theater chain in the United States, and with the help of the other party's theater chain, it has acted as an agent for the distribution of Chinese films in the United States.

The distribution method of these Chinese-language films is similar to that of "Fatal ID" when it was first released. It is mainly screened in Chinatown, Chinese communities and other Chinese gathering places, and the weekly box office of $5,000 is the red line.

Reach 50 million, continue to broadcast, if not, I'msorry.

Big directors, big stars, and big productions of Chinese films will not find Hualong Pictures to distribute them, and they have their own international distribution channels.

At present, most of the films that Hualong Pictures has bought out and distributed are domestic small and medium-sized films.

The buyout price is not high, generally tens of thousands of dollars, but these movies are not big directors and big stars, and the attraction of Chinese people in the United States is limited.

While the box office was not good, Hualong Pictures had to invest more than 100,000 yuan in publicity and distribution expenses for each movie, so it has been losing money.

The money you lose can't be saved, because you have to cultivate the market. It takes a lot of time, energy and money to get Western audiences to accept Chinese films, and burning money is extremely important in the first stage.

In addition to the United States, Hualong Pictures, under the leadership of Shi Hao, is also actively establishing distribution channels in other countries, which costs money, and it is very rewarding in the short term.

Simply, the funds for the establishment of Hualong Pictures are from the white wolf with empty gloves, and the seven shareholders are all veterans of the capital market, and they know how to play this "game", even if they are all burned out, they will not feel distressed.

Judging from the video background, some are in hotels, some are on yachts, some are in their own study rooms, and some are offices, obviously all of them are taking time out for this meeting.

At first, Mai Xiaoyu was quite curious, but when Shi Hao completed the summary report of Hualong Pictures' work this year, and the seven bigwigs spoke one after another, he understood.

The co-authorship is stimulated.

This year, in order to go global, the big and huge people in the entertainment industry have joined forces with Hollywood film companies to jointly invest in the production of international blockbusters, which has touched the nerves of too many capital and interest parties.

The seven shareholders of Hualong Pictures in the United States are all veterans of the capital market, holding a good hand and not playing outside, can they stand it?

What makes a good hand?

Cute film and television!

Dislike cute people are cheap, not a good card?

"Fatal ID", which was screaming and rushing out of the country in the exciting entertainment industry, was filmed by cute people!

Meng Ren filmed "Fatal ID" first, successfully hyped the film later, and has a deep understanding of the international film market, and now with the help of seven bigwigs, there is no reason not to even let out a fart, right?

Can't you see how many domestic film and television companies are showing their strength and preparing to make money around the world?

Even if there are a lot of middle and small lows who died in battle, at least their courage is commendable.

Look at Mai Xiaoyu again, guarding his own one-third of an acre of land, and he doesn't care about the development of Hualong Pictures...... You must know that one of the reasons why they were willing to agree to Luo Xing and cooperate with Mai Xiaoyu was because they liked the huge potential of cute film and television!

The result?

"I sent someone to investigate, and Wheat's "Twilight" is very popular abroad, and I think it's time to shoot the first part of "Twilight". ”

"I think so, too, there's no need to wait until the next year. ”

"Well, the first part will be launched earlier, and the second part will be released earlier, and the second part can also be launched early. ”

"Mr. Mai, you can't be cowardly at this time. ”

……

In the video conference, Comrade Lao Luo listened more and talked less as always, and the other six people gossiped, with only one theme, and suggested that Mai Xiaoyu shoot "Twilight" as soon as possible.

Mai Xiaoyu replied very happily: ""Twilight"? I have all planned, Ah Zheng is adapting the script and will start preparing for the filming of the film in the second half of next year. ”

Start preparations in the second half of next year?

Isn't that the year after next to start filming?

No way!

The opinion of the six people is that they will prepare for the first half of next year, start filming in the second half of the year, and then broadcast it in the summer vacation of the following year to make a lot of money.

How's that going to work?

The arrangement is so tight, my dead bunny will definitely not be able to open the schedule!

And "Twilight" is a bait, specially used to trap these six sharp-toothed predator-level lambs.

Now the lambs are mainly anti-customer, indicating that the preliminary paving work has not been done enough, and the effect of collecting will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, Mai Xiaoyu refused very simply: "Impossible, I have made a complete plan, and I am a professional in this regard." ”

The words were extremely conceited, although they were telling the truth, but the six big guys listened a little harshly.

Among the six people, most of them have various kinds of cooperation with Mai Xiaoyu, so Mr. Li, the only one who has not cooperated and has been unhappy because of Yang Ying, took the lead in refuting it: "Your plan is to let the opportunity slip away from your eyes, and you have to wait until the year after tomorrow to start the machine?

Mr. Li's refutation was very unkind, and the other five did not open their mouths to echo it.

Mai Xiaoyu had a bottom in his heart, and also shot back very unceremoniously: "How do you conclude that now is an opportunity? Do you really think that foreigners are stupid and have a lot of money, and you can make money by finding some big names to make a movie?"

As for you questioning my professionalism...... In this way, Ah Zheng recently created a book, and our company is planning to shoot it, I can ask him to sell the book to Hualong to shoot, and then you will know whether I am professional or not!"

This choked Mr. Li, and was about to scold Mai Xiaoyu, and the other five people came forward to play a round.

"What subject?"

"What is the investment budget?"

"Which Hollywood actors are you going to invite?"

……

"It's a science fiction movie......"

Mai Xiaoyu's first sentence aroused the interest of everyone, including Mr. Li.

Everyone is very aware of the status of science fiction movies in the United States, but Mai Xiaoyu's words almost made this group of Sven's old drivers explode.

"Our company's budget is 100,000 yuan, and if we shoot in the United States, we can save a lot of set props, maybe just over 10,000 dollars. As for the actors, just pick a few from the Screen Actors Guild......"
