Chapter 88: Short-term goals
William and Wilton's excessive nervousness made Tang Feng smile bitterly.
After being dragged to the office, in order not to worry them, Tang Feng hurriedly told them about the loan.
After listening to the whole process, William's reaction was quite normal, although he was also surprised, but he was only happy for Tang Feng.
But Wilton was a completely different story, and as a self-made man who had climbed from the bottom to his current position, he knew all too well what that meant.
Get a loan of 30 million in 10 minutes!
And the other party is still a person who has only met for the second time and has made formal contact for the first time!
How much courage does this take, how much attention and optimism Tang Feng has to be, so that he can agree to this loan so happily!
Was it his luck?
Obviously not, if he was really lucky, he wouldn't have encountered so much trouble.
If he had to find a reason, Wilton felt that Tang Feng's strength and character were the key to his ability to do this.
And the current result should be regarded as a matter of course.
Wilton still vividly remembers the pain he experienced when he took out his first loan.
After waiting for more than half a year, he was tired of many approvals and reviews, and when the final payment arrived, his company was dragged bankrupt!
Whether a new company can have long-term development is whether it has enough funds.
I don't know how many new companies that were originally good were forced to close or be bought by others because they couldn't apply for loans.
Wilton really knows how difficult it is to get the credit head of a bank, not to mention the famous JPMorgan Chase!
Looking at Tang Feng's indifferent appearance, and then thinking of what happened to him, Wilton's heart suddenly rose with a sense of frustration, but at the same time, it was more of relief and expectation.
"It seems that people really can't be compared, just look at what people talk and laugh about, and get such a big loan."
"Look at me back then, I don't know how much effort it took me, and even low-mindedness and flattery, to apply for such a little loan."
"If I had such an opportunity as him, let alone 30 million, even if it was only 3 million, it would definitely be much better than now."
"Haha, I made the right decision at that time, thanks to the fact that I made the right choice at that time and decided to support him with all my might!"
"Although our film was forcibly out, even this will have tens of millions of revenues, but I have a lot of shares in the company, even if it is only now, there should be six million dollars in dividends, right?"
"It's only been a long time, not only have I recovered all my investment, but I can also earn more than one million!"
"Old guys, let you always laugh at me before, haha, there will be ...... you envy in the future"
Just when Wilton was thinking about it, Tang Feng cleared his throat and said solemnly: "William, you go to Logan early tomorrow morning, and you must get the loan in the shortest possible time." ”
"Wilton, from now on, I'm giving you two weeks to prepare for "Little Sunshine Beauty", and I'm going to officially start filming this movie in two weeks."
After pondering for a while, he continued: "I will give you the script as soon as possible, you don't have to worry about this, now you have to make preliminary preparations." ”
"I don't require you to do everything, but at least there should be, and we all have it this time!"
"This is a road movie, you have to get the relevant permits before filming, and you have to negotiate with the insurance company and get insurance for everyone in the crew."
"I won't say much about the issues of arranging accommodation, vehicles, etc., you did a good job a while ago, and it's up to you this time."
"I'll send Cooper and Samuel to you as assistants, they always want to learn how to produce, so let them run around with you."
"The photographer is still Yanush, let Affleck be his assistant."
"The makeup artists you found last time, talk to them, sign them if you can, and form our own makeup team."
"In addition, special teams must be set up for sets, lighting, modeling, costumes, field affairs, and art, and our actors cannot always be asked to do odd jobs."
"Even if this is helpful to them, they should find a professional to take them, otherwise they all have to become half-understanding."
"Don't be afraid to spend money, the loan will be in place quickly, and you can decide who you need and who you should sign."
"By the way, recruit a few more drivers, and when the loan comes down, we will have to make a big purchase."
"Give yourself, Anne and William, each with a nanny car, and Yanush, Pete and Monica, they also have a car, and they have to hire two assistants, and the star should look like a star."
"William and Anne also need an assistant, so this time I will match you together, and it will also make it easier for you."
"I also have to recruit some clerks who specialize in answering the phone and answering letters, and there are too many people who call and write letters to consult parkour these days, and it is not possible to deal with it without a special person."
"Security guards and front desks also have to be recruited, anyway, we can be regarded as a little famous, and we can't be as casual as before."
"Otherwise, it will make people look messy and irregular at all, and it will have a bad impact on our image."
"If we want to do it, we will be a regular and professional company."
"Wilton, you've been busy during this time, and now no one in the company can pick up such a burden except you, so I have to work hard for you."
......
Although Wilton is not a professional producer, he is still very relieved to do things, even if he doesn't understand something, he will ask friends for help.
At this point, William is much worse, but Tang Feng doesn't care, everyone knows William's relationship with him.
And as the president, William doesn't have to worry about this, he just needs to do his own thing and arrange the daily operation of the company.
After explaining the task, Tang Feng began to conceive the plot of "Little Sunshine Beauty", and the three movies were filmed together, so there was naturally a priority.
This road movie has a simple plot and no action scenes, although it needs to be filmed in other places, but it is all about what happens on the road, and it is still easy to shoot.
And "Fatal Romance" is more troublesome, Quentin writes about the old industrial city of Detroit, and if you want to go to an unfamiliar city to make a movie, you need to do a lot of preparation, not three or two weeks to complete.
As for Michael's "Bad Boy", a big production of more than 15 million, Tang Feng was afraid that Wilton would not be able to cope with it, so he had to wait for Jerry to come, and he would preside over the preparation of the crew.
Fortunately, Jerry promised him that he would definitely finish the matter at hand within two months and report to the company.
For the release of the three movies, Tang Feng doesn't have to worry about it at all, with Harvey's help in the distribution, he doesn't have any worries, so he can be so willful.
According to his expectations, "Little Sunshine Beauty" should be produced in about a month, and if there are no problems, it can be released in early March.
"Fatal Romance" may have a longer filming cycle, but it is not too much of a problem to be released in the summer of next year.
The only thing that worries him a little is "Bad Boy", he doesn't know what kind of work attitude Jerry will have, but he thinks that it will be released at the latest next year's Christmas file.
In that case, three movies a year, although you are a little busy, you can also have a good harvest.
In fact, during this time, he also thought about making other more popular movies, but after thinking about it, he still adhered to the original arrangement.
It's not that he can just take out a movie from his previous life and make it at this time, but now there are too many factors restricting his play.
The quality and experience of the personnel, the backwardness of the scientific and technological level, the insufficient funds, and the unclear relationship with the cinema chain, etc., all made him have to start small and slowly operate and develop his own company.
Now Hurricane Pictures is only in its infancy, and it is not on the right track, although it has been in trouble, Tang Feng is still quite confident.
With so many people helping him, if he can't manage the company well, it can only mean that he doesn't have that ability.
For the future development of the company, Tang Feng did not do any earth-shattering planning, he just wants to be down-to-earth and run his small company step by step.
With the long-term goal of promoting parkour, and then setting a realistic short-term goal, it is completely enough for him and the seedling of Hurricane Pictures.
