Chapter 1 Investing in Films

......

After handing over all the company's affairs to Li Caihua.

Wang Zainian also felt a lot more comfortable, and he asked his sister Milk Tea whether to continue to follow him as an assistant or go to the general manager for an internship.

Although the milk tea sister was very reluctant to give up this handsome boss, the purpose of her coming was an internship, not a relationship, so she went to the general manager and became a secretary.

Wang Zainian didn't care too much about the departure of his sister milk tea, anyway, it was in his own company, and it was easy to eat it when he wanted to. (Hehe, bragging.) )

In a few days, it will be the Spring Festival, and after the company takes over the penguin business, it will also have annual vacation, but fortunately, most of the people in the company are locals, or they don't go home for the New Year.

For a while, after the company's affairs were over, Wang Zainian had nowhere to go, he didn't know what to do, and the system did not release tasks.

"A thousand reasons to be sad, a thousand reasons to be sad......"

Wang Zainian picked up the phone, "Hey, that?"

"In the year, I, Wang Peijie, the director with the strongest brain. ”

"Oh, Director Wang, I know, what's wrong? Isn't it the next challenge, and it's still February?"

"No, someone contacted me and said that they liked the novel you wrote, called "Beijing Meets Seattle", and said that they hoped to buy the film adaptation rights. ”

"Who?" Wang Zainian asked rhetorically.

The other end of the phone said, "It's Xue Xiaolu." is the female director who has made the movie Ocean Paradise before, and the literary film in which the kung fu emperor Li Lianjie also starred in it. ”

"Oh, I know her. After listening to Ocean Paradise, Wang Zainian instantly remembered that this director Xue Xiaolu was not the original director who met Seattle in Beijing.

"What do you think?"

"You give me Director Xue's mobile phone number, and I'll contact you myself. Wang Zainian thought to himself, this movie was very popular in his last life, if he simply sold the movie rights, it would be too worthwhile, this time Penguin financing, he also has money, why not invest it when the time comes.

"Well, I'll text you later. ”

"Okay. ”

----

When the capital met Seattle, the original doctor was changed to Wang Zainian, a highly educated genius who studied in medical college in the United States, and then, the old routine, the family was poor, and he had to work part-time. met a gold worshipper, and then the collision between Dick Si and the gold worshipper.

Although the overall plot is bloody, in fact, from the text description, you can also read a trace of sadness, a trace of love, and a trace of touching.

Otherwise, such an old-fashioned and vulgar plot can be so popular when made into a movie? Although the plot is old, the actors' acting skills are great, and the atmosphere is accentuated, which also makes this romance film the best on the list of Chinese entertainment romance films.

Wang Zainian dialed the phone, "Hey, is it Xue Xiaolu Xue Dao?"

A woman's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Oh, I'm Xue Xiaolu, who are you?"

"Oh, I'm the author of Beijing's encounter with Seattle, before Director Wang Peijie said you are looking for me?"

"Oh, it's you, I've finally contacted you, I didn't reply to a private message on Weibo, and I didn't reply to a comment, if it weren't for the fact that you certified that there was a player with the strongest brain, I really didn't know how to contact you. ”

Wang Zainian laughed, "Haha, Director Xue said that he laughed, I don't usually read those things in private messages." ”

"Well, then you know that I came to you this time because I wanted the capital to meet the film adaptation rights of the book Seattle. ”

"Eun, I know, this can be discussed, I haven't sold it to anyone else yet. “

"You're in the Demon Capital?"

"Yes. ”

"It just so happens that I'm also doing some things in the magic capital right now, so let's make an appointment to meet and talk about it. ”

"Yes. ”

......

Starbucks Cafe in the Magic City.

Wang entered Starbucks for the first time in the year, well, this body has been to Starbucks in the United States before.

"Wang Zainian!"

As soon as I walked into the glass door, I heard someone shouting to me not far on the left, and when I looked sideways, I saw a short-haired woman about thirty years old, waving to her.

With a confident smile on his face, he walked over.

"Director Xue Xiaolu?" Wang Zainian didn't dare to be too sure, after all, he hadn't seen it, maybe it was someone else's assistant Xue Xiaolu or something.

"En. ”

Xue Xiaolu looked Wang Zainian up and down carefully, and didn't stop until Wang Zainian, a cheeky person, was embarrassed to look at him.

Xue Xiaolu went straight to the point, "I believe Wang Peijie has already told you, this time I am going to get the film adaptation rights of the novel "Beijing Meets Seattle" from you. ”

"Eun, I know. After Wang Zainian sat down, he said to the waiter, "Bring me a latte." ”

said to Xue Xiaolu again, "I'm sorry, I'm not going to sell the film adaptation rights of my novel." ”

"What!" Xue Xiaolu's complexion changed, and he turned around and said, "Didn't you say you could do it, why did you suddenly change your words again? If it's a matter of money, don't worry, it won't be less of you." Before, she originally had a good impression of Wang Zainian, but she was directly beaten to the abyss.

"No, no, no, I don't mean to go back. ”

"Then what do you mean?" Xue Xiaolu was puzzled, he said that he would sell it before, but he didn't sell it just now, but this time he said that he didn't regret it, what the hell is it, it makes the head bigger.

"I mean, I can give you the adaptation rights, but I need to invest in the film. ”

"You said you wanted to invest in this movie!" Xue Xiaolu stood up happily, and his heart jumped with joy. She likes this novel very much, and the relationship between men and women on opposite sides is also very moving, so she hopes to put this story on the big screen.

But in fact, Xue Xiaolu has not contacted some investors, but unilaterally wants to get the adaptation rights first, and when he hears the author say that he wants to invest in this movie, he is naturally overjoyed.

"Do you really want to invest in this movie?" Xue Xiaolu asked again.

Wang Zainian took the coffee, said thank you, then took a sip slightly, the taste was okay, and when he heard Xue Xiaolu's words, he said, "Of course, this is the book I wrote, and I naturally want to invest in it." And I'm very optimistic about Director Xue's previous film Ocean Paradise, and it will be great for you to shoot this movie this time. ”

"Thank you. Xue Xiaolu knew in his heart that if it weren't for the joining of superstar Li Lianjie and the popular Xiaosheng coat of arms, it would have been so sensational, and the box office was average, if it wasn't for a movie that promoted marine protection, it would be a question whether it could be released for so long.

Xue Xiaolu suddenly remembered something, and said, "There will be a lot of investment in this movie, this ......"

"Don't worry about the money, I can still take out tens of millions. Wang Zainian suddenly remembered a photo he saw on the Internet, if he had been left in the past, he would never have remembered it, but at this moment, he had the strongest memory, and he thought of it instantly.

The picture is a table of domestic films.

It is about the proportion of investment benefits formed by film investment and the final box office.

Beijing met Seattle to produce a finished product of 2800W, without publicity costs, and finally harvested a full 5.2E box office, and the investment benefit ratio reached a terrifying 1:18.57.

Therefore, it has become inevitable that this movie can make money.

And since 2008, the state has given substantial support to the entertainment industry, and the number of high-grossing domestic films has gradually increased, from the total national box office of several billions to tens of billions now, and even hundreds of billions of box office later, which is already a qualitative breakthrough.

For Wang Zainian, these are the root of stirring up the wind and rain.
