When passing by this sexy beauty, Li Xiaole couldn't help but stretch his neck to look, this sexy chick had black smoky makeup on her eyes, her face was delicate and fair, her black hair was neatly combed behind her head with hairspray, and she couldn't look like she was seventeen or eight years old from the translucent skin that could be broken by blowing in her ears, and the dark circles and makeup and Martin boots with Liu Ding felt like she was partying with a group of rock musicians for a week, exuding a subtle decadence and dark atmosphere.
The face is not imperfect, but it is moving, there is a strange charm that cannot be explained, compared to people in real life, she is more like a character who came out of "The Matrix".
The gray-haired man in front of her is more unappetizing, even if he has a short figure, his face is even more swollen as if he has been punched twice, and he is completely an old man who eats excessively and makes a fortune in tobacco and alcohol.
Li Xiaole couldn't help but curse in his heart, God doesn't open his eyes! The combination of flowers and cow dung is purely tyrannical...... According to the law of three more on No. 5 Street, if this sexy chick is not a mistress, then she must be an aid girl, is this dress ...... playing the Matrix cosplay style?
While sighing and regretting in my heart, I can't help but start an evil reverie, what price should such a sexy chick be? I don't know if we have enough money on us......
After thinking about it, they had already walked to a brand-new building more than 20 stories high that was still under repair, and Jin Nan took him in, which was their destination today - Anmin Investment Company.
Judging from the group of construction workers on the first floor who were still tinkling and tidying up the wall glass, this commercial building was obviously not completely completed, walked to the elevator door, pressed the button on the 15th floor, and after the elevator door "ding" opened, Li Xiaole walked in and took a deep breath to try to relax himself.
I came to the investor again, and I remember that in my previous life, he had experienced no less than a dozen such occasions, holding a script that now seems extremely stupid, and under the same disappointed eyes, he got the same result - "Go back and wait for the notice." ”
What will happen this time? Can the other party invest? Although he has a future blockbuster script, doesn't it seem even more "stupid" than before in the hands of a 19-year-old college dropout like himself?
But dreams are never "stupid"?
Li Xiaole was worried, if only everything could be as easy as described in those novels, alas~ I can only pray that I can meet an investment manager with vision.
***
In the minimalist style office, in front of the galloping horse on the white wall, Choi Jong-so is sitting on a chair smoking a cigarette at the moment, looking intently at the plan report of the "Color is Empty" movie, and the two small goldfish, one yellow and one red, are swimming freely in the water in the feng shui fish tank on the desktop.
Thirty-six-year-old Choi Jong-so looks very thin, his body and face are very slender, he is not a film professional, he is good at market analysis, selecting suitable projects from the market for investment, in Choi Jong-so's view, this student director and producer named Li Xiaole is not worth any investment at all, without any experience in the industry, let alone short films, even TV commercials, experimental documentaries have not actually participated, the only definite starring role in the work - Ha Ji Won, There is also no tendency to attract attention in the television industry.
This doesn't require any delicate data analysis at all, it's 100% a loss-making deal.
When Cui Zhongxiu heard that the company arranged for him to accept this project, he immediately had the worst psychological expectations, and the company's position was also very helpless.
When Dangdang, there was a knock on the door from the office, Cui Zhongxiu retracted his thoughts, turned around and said, "Come in." ”
"Manager Cui, we're here." As soon as Jin Nan entered the door, he came over to greet him: "I'm really sorry, I'm bothering you again." ”
"Hello Manager Cui." Li Xiaole nodded to Cui Zhongxiu as a greeting.
"Here, Brother Jin, sit down, this is classmate Li, right? Come on~Come and sit~" Choi Jong-so greeted Kim Nam with a smile on her face, made a phone call to the secretary in the office next door, and told her to prepare tea.
"Big brother, have you eaten, let's find a place to eat something and talk while eating." Choi Jong-so was extremely polite to Kim Nam, after all, most of the profitable business of Anmin Company came from Yingxinghui.
"No, it's still early at noon, so we won't have long." Kim Nam said with a smile.
At this moment, the secretary took two cups of tea and put them on the coffee table in front of Jin Nan and Li Xiaole, Li Xiaole noticed that there was a photo of Cui Zhongxiu and Li Cangdong and Lin Zequan, two Korean directors, shaved their heads together in the photo frame on the desk (daomengren to see the fastest update), and probably understood that this manager Cui had participated in the "bald head movement" 2 years ago and was a veteran of the film and television investment industry.
After a few words of greeting, Cui Zhongxiu smiled and said: "Student Li, I'll get straight to the point if time is precious, we have received information from the Film Club about your preparation for the film, why don't you tell me directly, how much investment do you want to apply for?" ”
"Well, Manager Cui, I discussed it with Uncle Jin, and the application amount is 120 million." Li Xiaole admired Cui Zhongxiu's straightforward approach, and directly reported his expected figures.
"120 million?" Cui Zhongxiu suddenly smiled dumbly, looked at Li Xiaole and said slowly:
"Student Li, what I want to tell you is that most of the previous student films did not exceed 60 million venture capital...... As soon as you open your mouth, it's more than double, and I'm afraid it's ......."
If you want to invest more than 100 million yuan in the empty words, are we all wronged when we invest in the company? Who doesn't know that the film industry is the bottom of all investment categories in terms of profit and loss ratio.
"It's not much, I've got the budget ready." Li Xiaole handed over his laptop:
"You see, this is our budget table, which includes the remuneration of the actors, photography, lighting, recording crew, personal insurance, and equipment insurance provided to us by the school, as well as office supplies, catering props, music rights, all of which add up to the cost budget......"
Li Xiaole elaborated on his reasons for applying for this investment quota:
"According to the starring Ha Ji Won's current popularity on the Internet, according to the statistics of ATC Network Company, more than 6.53 million people have an impression of her, although it does not necessarily impress the film purchase managers in the theater, but after the finished product is filmed, she participates in the university film festival and promotes it on the Internet, and there is a great chance of obtaining film channel subsidies, plus the copyright sold to 3 movie stations, and the cost will be recovered in three phases, there should be no problem......
Li Xiaole never thought that he would get the investment after saying a sentence or two, and the most important thing to impress a businessman is one thing, interests, as long as you can make him feel that he is making money, then everything else is not a problem, which is also the reason why he wanted to push Ha Zhiyuan's popularity up before, and now the official data he has taken out are all available for reference, these are real things.
Perhaps in the imagination of most people who have never made a movie, they will think that film investment is that the producer takes the script to find investment, all of which stars are to be invited, how to cater to the market, and then casually offer their expected prices to investors, just like buying vegetables in the market, bargaining, and simply relying on eloquence to win investment.
Actually, this is not the case at all.
In countries like the United States and South Korea, where regulations are more stringent, most of the amount of film investment has a hard target, and the general formula is about to multiply the pre-sale amount by three, and the number is that you can apply for a specific investment amount.
The so-called pre-sale money is the sales channel that the producer contacted before the filming of the film started, and obtained some movie-related commercial contracts, such as DreamWorks' "Transformers", which spent about half a year negotiating before the start of filming, and got a full $43 million contract from car advertising sponsorship, game adaptation rights and toy pre-sales, and finally got a $140 million investment from investors.
Otherwise, without a pre-sale contract, no matter how much the producer talks about the lotus, it is impossible to invest hundreds of millions of dollars in you out of thin air.
Of course, people who have just entered the industry will not understand this mode of operation (daomengren see the fastest update), enthusiastic young people usually hold dreams and try to impress investors with their enthusiasm, the result is of course conceivable, for example, the mainland director Ning Hao, who took a first-class script like "Crazy Stone", ran more than 30 investment companies in China, and did not get a penny of investment for two years.
Li Xiaole has done research before, according to the latest film revitalization law. Several major movie stations must acquire the copyright of the supported film, and he applied through the school a week ago, and he had already received a relevant acquisition certificate from the film station on the 5th, and the subsidized films of the Film Industry Association can apply for channel subsidies, and the pre-sale of nearly 40 million won is almost certain.
Therefore, the amount of 120 million is fully in line with the existing investment procedures of Anmin Company.
Cui Zhongxiu looked at Li Xiaole and talked endlessly, and his first reaction was to scold: "Damn, it's another 'academic bastard' who has watched too many movies and magazines, frowned slightly and looked at Jin Nan and only muttered in his heart, Lao Jin, why did you bring such a person?"
"Manager Cui, let's take a look at what you're talking about first." Jin Nan said to him with a strange expression.
Choi Jong-so reluctantly took the laptop, and after just a few glances, he felt that something was wrong, looked up at Li Xiaole, and looked again.
Weird...... Is this really data done by college students? The report is not only clearly formatted, but also the daily shooting budget data is extremely well organized, and even the transportation expenses, telephone bills, and entertainment expenses are budgeted, which is completely the handwriting of an experienced producer.
What's even more weird is that this kid even took out nearly 40 million won in pre-sale certificates...... Although this is very likely to be the final income of this movie, it is reasonable that the other party has no problem applying for an investment of 120 million......
And there are several IDG market budget formulas that are very peculiar and original, which makes him look big after passing the MBA certification, which is obviously the work of a certain master of market budgeting.
