Chapter 396: Cooperation

Tianqiu thought about it seriously, "Yes, if it's just a film and television city, of course, there is money to be made, and many crews in several famous film and television cities in China have gone to shoot and made a lot of money." But you may not have noticed that the largest film and television city has become a scenic spot, and tourists from all over the world come to visit every day, bringing up the local economy, as well as temporary extras, temporary drama chores and so on, feeding a lot of people. ”

You Wenjie didn't react for a moment, "But...... What does this have to do with us? The economy here is already very good, and we don't need to revive the economy, right? ”

Tianqiu couldn't help laughing, scolded stupidly, and said patiently: "Think about it, who earns the money for tourists?" And who makes the extras' money? If you can earn some of the money, it will accumulate in a year, which is not a small amount. ”

You Wenjie looked at Tianqiu, "......What do you mean?"

"I mean, it's better to build a film and television city here, than to build it into a developed theme park, which can be divided into multiple closed areas, so that after each crew leaves, the scenes they build can become the scenic spots of the film and television city. And some popular movies and television that are being filmed can also attract countless movie fans and tourists. The shops and advertisements in the film and television city are another income.

In this way, the consumption of tickets and tourists, plus the commission for helping to contact extras, this income may be more profitable than renting a venue to a film and television crew, and it is a long-term investment, and the renovation of the scenic spot basically does not have to spend money on itself. Tian Qiu said everything he thought of, anyway, as long as You Wenjie and they are not engaged in illegal industries, he doesn't mind having one more friend like this.

After listening to Tianqiu's words, You Wenjie was stunned for a while and gave him a thumbs up! said sincerely: "Brother Qiu, I really obey you!" I thought I had made a lot of progress this year, but I didn't expect my vision to compare with you, and it was still a mouse's eye! ”

Tianqiu smiled faintly, "Hehe, there is no need to say that, as long as it does not exceed my principles, everyone can be friends, and I have something to say about friends." ”

You Wenjie quickly thought for a while, sorted out his thoughts, and then said reverently: "Brother Qiu, your idea is so good, and this is not a matter of violating your principles, so can we cooperate?" ”

Tianqiu shook his head, "I have no experience in film and television, there are too many unspoken rules or something, and it is not easy to get approval documents in the mainland, so I can only give you advice, I don't want to invest in this area for the time being." Besides, as you know, my current project is just starting and it will take a lot of energy. ”

After listening to Tianqiu's polite refusal, You Wenjie hurriedly said: "Brother Qiu, don't worry, you listen to me." We all know the rules of the film and television industry, and it can even be said that in Hong Kong, we are the ones who make the rules! No matter how big a star is, he has to give us face. Although we need the support of government departments to develop in the mainland now, these are not problems! ”

Tianqiu was a little surprised, could it be that You Huaqiang had already established a good relationship with the relevant departments?

"Several of our group's film companies have always cooperated with mainland film companies, and our group has a good relationship with government departments. Recently, our boss went to Beijing with some colleagues in the film industry to negotiate, and got the support of the government department. However, you also know that out of the protection of the mainland film industry, it is still not easy for Hong Kong films to enter the national market, and only co-productions can pass. "You Wenjie's Mandarin is much better, but it is still a little difficult to express the right thing, and he is not very fast.

Tianqiu nodded, "Those bureaucrats of the Radio and Television Bureau are basically a group of birdmen, Hong Kong has long since returned, and Hong Kong films have to be imported according to quotas like foreign films; In the same country, it is also called a co-production; TMD, it is clear that it is to protect those incompetent filmmakers in the mainland! ”

"Yes, yes. But there is nothing we can do to change this fact, and in the mainland, we have to adapt to these rules. You Wenjie readily agreed, they are very good in Hong Kong, but it is different in the mainland, he has long complained in his heart, but the Hong Kong film market is shrinking, and there is no way.

"But don't worry, we've basically reached some agreements. Because co-productions are relatively easy to approve and pass, as long as they are co-productions, they are expected to be released nationwide. But the co-production must use the cast and crew of the mainland proportionally, even if it is all our investment. You Wenjie made a helpless gesture, "It's not that we belittle the staff and actors in the mainland, it may be because of the different work habits, progress, and methods, basically the actors and staff of these quotas will delay the progress." Therefore, for many co-productions, the Hong Kong crew has to spend money to buy job places. ”

This is the first time I've heard of this Tianqiu, so I can't help but interject and ask, "Isn't it in accordance with the proportion set by the government?" Can you still buy and sell places? ”

You Wenjie smiled bitterly, "Even after there are places, we will still pay them, but they don't need to start work, as long as they have this quota, the staff will still use our own crew." Of course, actors can't be so fake, so sometimes there are some inappropriate actors. ”

"Isn't that going to be doubled?" Tianqiu couldn't help but laugh when he heard such a small gossip.

You Wenjie nodded, "After filming a scene, not to mention such a large amount of expenses, it will delay a lot of time for these reasons, and if the progress is delayed, the expenses of the entire crew will increase." ”

"So, you want to set up a company in the mainland, and when you cooperate in filming in the future, you will be the same team as you?" Heavenly Feud understood what they were thinking.

You Wenjie nodded, "This is one of the reasons why we have our own company in the mainland, the cost of the quota, that is, the left hand out, the right hand in, and everything is easy to discuss, much more convenient." Another reason is that Hong Kong's market has fallen, while the mainland's film market is gradually developing, and it is an inevitable trend to enter the mainland.

In terms of film companies, we have the advantage of artists, mature market operation methods, broader distribution channels, and more investment, and we have to compete with the film companies in the mainland that rely on government support, as long as we are not banned, we will definitely rise rapidly. ”

Tianqiu nodded, "Well, many old film companies in China are still bureaucratic, and they can't withstand the wind and rain at all if they are put down in the market." The film companies that are rising now are all commercial capital operations, but unfortunately although they have gone up at the box office, they are all bad movies and big hits. ”

After making his direction clear, and hearing Tianqiu's approval, You Wenjie hurriedly said: "So, this is definitely a promising project, and it is definitely a plan with high returns, which is worthy of your investment and cooperation, Brother Qiu!" ”

Tianqiu shook his head slightly, "I don't mean to invest, with your capital and qualifications, isn't it easy to set up a company independently?" Even if the policy does not allow Hong Kong-owned companies to set up film companies, you can find a nominal partner here? ”

You Wenjie took a sip of wine before he said slowly: "That's right, we just need to find a partner, or support one casually." With the relationship of our boss, it is easy to find a good and powerful partner. But ......"

He paused for a moment, lowered his voice and continued: "I told you a year ago that our cooperation is not for the present, but for the future!" Now it's easy for you to take the position of Boss Ye, but I'm different, I'm not qualified to take the seat at all, and even the position of the hall master is far from enough. So I need grades! It is necessary to make everyone in the group satisfied and admire the results! ”

Looking at his burning ambition and ** eyes, listening to his firm words, Tianqiu understood what he meant, he not only wanted to complete the investment task assigned by a group, but wanted to use this investment opportunity to truly make a big force, only in this way can he quickly ascend to the position! Of course, if it is very prosperous in the mainland, whether the community has a high position or not is just a style, and the status of the rivers and lakes will naturally exist.

"Boss Tianqiu, you are a talent, a talent I admire, if I can cooperate with you, my plan will be successful! I need your help! You Wenjie said eagerly.

"Hehe, I think you're going to be disappointed, I'm not a talent, I just rely on luck to eat." Tianqiu smiled faintly.

"Nope! Not only did you not disappoint me, but you would surprise me, for example, if my plan was just casually mentioned, and you immediately gave me better advice. If we work together, we can really break new ground! You Wenjie said excitedly.

"But ......" Tianqiu thought for a while, and said directly: "I don't want to deal with gangs, you expect to be able to hand over satisfactory results to the group, but I don't need to hand over any results to anyone, I'm doing what I want to do now." I think this is a cool thing, not something that I like and find interesting, and I won't have a sense of accomplishment after all. ”

He just didn't directly say that he didn't want to get involved with the underworld.

"Come on!" You Wenjie couldn't help but smile, "The old boys have improved, do you think we are fighting and killing in Hong Kong like in the movie?" We all work to make money and eat! It's just that we do all kinds of business, and besides, we are all corporatized and collectivized now. Look at Boss Ye, he is the boss here, in fact, most of his business has been bleached, and so are we. ”

Although Tianqiu refused a few times, You Wenjie secretly analyzed it and found that he did not refuse completely, but his interest was not high! Is it because they are not attracted enough to him? What does he feel like he can't get from working together?

You Wenjie threw out a killer move: "Brother Qiu, we will never let you suffer, you don't need to invest money, you don't want to participate in management, you can only be a consultant, I will be responsible to the boss of the group and promise to give you a lot of equity!" I just like that you can work together and help with ideas. ”

Isn't that just the job of a general consultant? Is it worth the price? In You Wenjie's view, of course, it is worth it, because cooperation and profits can be obtained, so he will seriously participate. Besides, he still needs the local connections of the Heavenly Enemy! They are powerful, but they are just crossing the river, and it is difficult to turn up the big waves, and Tianqiu now knows many local celebrities, and the relationship with the local boss is not ordinary, of course, it is the best object of cooperation.

Tianqiu couldn't help but shake his head and smile, "I'm not short of money, and I don't think I'll be happier if I get a little more money, so I'm fine now, and I don't need to be distracted." ”

"But ......" I didn't expect Tianqiu to say this, You Wenjie was a little helpless, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly thought of a way.

"Brother Qiu! Do you want to be a star! If we cooperate, we can do our best to package you and make you a big star! It's sure to give you a lot of fun and your girlfriend can be a star too! You Wenjie thought that Tianqiu wanted to have fun, and most people like to be stars, so he used this to tempt.

"No, I don't want to lose **, being a star is much harder than fun, and my girlfriend is even more unlikely to let them be stars. Forget it, let's not talk about it, I'll be there when you open! Tian Qiu smiled perfunctorily.

"Brother Qiu...... If you don't want to be a star, forget it, but aren't you running a training institution now? If you are engaged in a film company at the same time, we can ask our artists to help promote it, and the star effect can help you expand your popularity, and it can be passed on to those young children! They are your future customers. You Wenjie finally pleaded, he didn't know if this would work.

Listening to You Wenjie's words, Tianqiu's heart couldn't help but move, yes! Nowadays, many young students, celebrities have the greatest influence on them, he remembered a survey, saying that it is a survey of the most respected people among teenagers, young people in many countries write in the most two are parents, and the top ten written by children in our country are movie stars, singers, and football stars, and gradually the influence of stars on teenagers.

Tianqiu secretly thought, if the star effect is used well, it can also benefit the society, and it will really help your own goals! If you want to attract the attention of young people, you really need to rely on stars! And young people are the pillars of the future elite, and they are the ones who need training and transformation the most.

Seeing that Tianqiu was silent, You Wenjie couldn't help but be excited, it seems that there is a play! "Brother Qiu, why don't you think about it again?"

Tianqiu nodded, "What you said also makes sense, okay, I'm interested, let's talk about it in detail another day." ”
