Chapter 202: Working with Anle
Chapter 202 Partnering with Anle
As Ye Luo thought, "My Sassy Girlfriend" was indeed produced by Heung Kong, while South Korea's ShinCineCommunications was actually only responsible for post-production.
The reason is that Guo Zairong has not filmed for seven years, and few people trust him or most people doubt his talent; Second, at this time, Hong Kong films have actually begun to decline, and An Le has also begun to invest in foreign films, hearing that Guo Zairong is preparing, he came to the door, you must know that Hong Kong films at this time have a great impact on South Korea, so An Le films are also more popular here, so the two Wang Ba looked at mung beans and looked at each other.
But Korean movies are relatively niche, just starting to rise, An Le is very cautious, so he is very strict in terms of investment, but he didn't expect to be pried by someone for a day, but he didn't get angry, he just came to see which company was robbing his business.
Seeing a man in his forties who looked very affinable and came to find him under the leadership of Guo Zairong, Ye Luo was still a little blindsided, who is this, I don't know all!
After listening to the introduction, I learned that his name is Jiang Zhiqiang, a native of Xiangjiang, and the CEO of Anle Company. And Jiang Zhiqiang was also surprised to see that it was Ye Luo who was prying his business.
Ye Luo doesn't know him, but he knows Ye Luo, in Xiangjiang, Ye Luo is a big celebrity, the kind of red and shiny and purple, the sales are good, and the value is even higher, two billion! The name Ye Luo can always be found on the newsstand, and the writing is also very comprehensive. Therefore, seeing that it was Ye Luo, Jiang Zhiqiang recognized it.
A few days ago, many artists went north to attend the opening ceremony of Ye Luo Film and Television Company, which is not a secret in Xiangjiang, and Jiang Zhiqiang also knows it. He has always wanted to get acquainted with Ye Luo, but he never expected this kind of occasion.
It feels very good to see my own people abroad, and the two of them have a very hot chat. Hearing Ye Luo say that he invested five million, Jiang Zhiqiang slapped his thigh straight for Ye Luo, young man, still young!
But after the contract was signed, Jiang Zhiqiang couldn't help Ye Luo get back, so he could only pat Ye Luo on the shoulder and advise him to be cautious in the future. It wasn't until he knew that Ye Luo was going to play the leading role that he felt that Ye Luo was not completely stupid.
"Mr. Jiang, is it good for us to cooperate? You see, my new company has just been established, I don't know anything about issuance, and I can still find someone to help in China, but this is a black eye! ”
Although he took over Anle in eight or nine years, he entered the film industry at the age of thirteen and is one of the most influential independent/independent film distributors in Asia. And he is a bit of a living Lei Feng, he has a soft spot for literary films, and he also does what he loses.
is also very low-key, which can be seen from the process of meeting the two. If he hadn't said that he was the CEO of Anle Company, Ye Luo wouldn't have believed it, because no one always came out to do things alone. Thinking of the key point, Ye Luo realized that An Le's company here is estimated to be the same as his company in the capital, an empty shell.
Jiang Zhiqiang has another thing worth telling, that is, a person who has made great contributions to Chinese films.
Li An's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is the producer he was the producer, and the sudden withdrawal of the Taiwan/Bay investor at that time hit the crew, with a difference of 7.5 million US dollars, which is not a small amount, and Anle Company is not capable of producing these, it all depends on his interpersonal turnover, I have to say that this is a real filmmaker.
At the same time, Jiang Zhiqiang also owns a Broadway cinema chain that accounts for half of the box office in Hong Kong, and has theaters in Taiwan/Bay and the mainland.
"Good! How is it bad? You're rich, of course I'd love to! In this way, don't call me Mr. Jiang, I'll take care of it, you don't mind, just call me Uncle Jiang! ”
The most important thing in opening a film company is to be rich, and Ye Luo is that rich person, worth 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, how many movies can he invest in! Jiang Zhiqiang is very envious.
"How come, then call you Uncle Jiang. Uncle Jiang, don't call me Ye Luo, call me Xiao Luo or A Luo! ”
Jiang Zhiqiang is forty-seven, Ye Luo really doesn't suffer a loss when he calls him uncle, and the two people, or the companies of the two people, are really complementary. One has money, the other has the ability to distribute. Although Ye Luo didn't know Jiang Zhiqiang before, it didn't prevent him from knowing the name An Le.
"Okay, then Xiao Luo, how do we cooperate with each other?"
"In the case of this movie, I have no way to go abroad, so you should come out to help get in touch. And in the future, my company's overseas distribution of films can also be handed over to you, what do you think? ”
"Okay, no problem!"
In view of Ye Luo's age, Jiang Zhiqiang was not interested in the big cake he painted, he agreed just because he was also a Chinese filmmaker, and Ye Luo was young, so he could take care of it, and Ye Luo could help him when he invested. It's not too much of a loss, so I agreed.
As for what films are distributed abroad, Jiang Zhiqiang only attributed Ye Luo's words to his lack of experience and young age, and if you calculate carefully, how many movies can make money abroad?
In any case, Meimeng Film and Television Entertainment Company and Anle Film Company are in a foreign country, and they have formed partners in less than an hour of negotiations.
Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, people are changing, the world is changing, and things are changing.
Regarding the cooperation agreement reached by the two, Guo Zairong on the side is completely happy to see it come to fruition, because he will also be a beneficiary.
"Xiao Luo, your film company is newly established, you have to sign some directors and actors, you are not like me, although I also invest and produce, but I am more engaged in distribution."
"This, I have considered it, I am ready to learn from Brother Hua and support some cutting-edge directors or something, I have already asked people to start publishing information in the capital, as long as there is a good script, I dare to invest.
I think with the maximum amount of 100 million funds, there will be a lot of people coming to me, as for the actors, this has to be done slowly, I can't sign and no filming, then I'm not a sinner, and my company is just me, what agent, assistant, no, I'm powerless now! ”
"Huh? One hundred million? Powerful! I can't see that you're still a steady person, which overturns my previous thoughts. ”
"Think I'm less or better?"
"That's not true, I just think you're a little inflated, you just won two billion Hong Kong dollars, most people will lose themselves and squander it at will, so I think you are the same when I see you throw out five million yuan without telling the price. But for now, it seems that I have a peek at the leopard. ”
"Don't say that, I'm still a little inflated, I know that. The reason why I didn't bargain was because I thought this film would make a lot of money, so I didn't care about the million, and if I invested four million, it is estimated that Director Guo would not choose me, but your company, after all, your resources are better than mine! ”
"So, did you do it on purpose?"
"It's not intentional, so to speak, it's just an afterthought. I just figured it out this morning. ”
"This shows that you are very blessed!"
"Well, I've always thought I'm lucky!"
"You're not lucky, but you're so lucky, I don't know how many people are jealous of you? By the way, why do you think this unmade movie will be a hit? ”
"This is because I have read this script, and I have been moved myself! I think I can represent the level of appreciation of the average person! ”
Sending Jiang Zhiqiang away, Ye Luo dragged Guo Zairong, who was leaving.
"Director Guo, do you plan to sign a company or something?"
Just now Jiang Zhiqiang said to sign the director, Ye Luo thought of the person in front of him, although his company is in the mainland, there is no rule that foreign directors are not allowed to sign!
"Isn't that just a comeback?"
Speaking of this, Guo Zairong is a little awkward, don't look at his age Ye Luo two rounds, but he is incomparable with Ye Luo in terms of achievement and wealth, and he is still a little inferior in front of Ye Luo.
"What would you think if I sent you an invitation?"
"Huh? Of course I do, but can you give me two days? ”
Of course, Guo Zairong is willing to sign a company, so that he doesn't have to run around like this to make movies in the future, begging his grandfather to sue his grandmother. But Ye Luo's company is in China after all, and he still has concerns about this.
"Of course! If you sign up with my company, then I can set up a branch office in Korea when I can. ”
Why does this sound spicy! There is not a single employee in the head office, so you want to open a branch? Soak Thief!
"Really? That's just great! ”
Hearing Guo Zairong's words and expression, Ye Luo knew that this was done! Our company is finally going to have an employee, or a director, it's not easy, flickering is also an art!
I don't know if it's a coincidence, or it's fate, even if there is no Ye Luo, Guo Zairong later signed a Chinese film and television company - Zhongbo Media. It's just that now the person who ate the first crab has become Ye Luo.
