Chapter 03 Orthodox Pictures
When the matter was negotiated, Zhou Yi said goodbye and left, no longer delaying Jiang Zhengfang's work, after all, the military command was very busy. When he came outside, he laughed with Sister Zhuo and explained some things clearly, and Zhou Yi left Far East International Trade.
The follow-up matters can be handled by Sister Zhuo.
In the future, Sister Zhuo will take his salary, and she will be his person.
Sister Zhuo's name is Zhuo Qinglian, and the agent's code name is Black Widow, which sounds sinister and vicious, but she is actually a wonderful person. At the beginning, she was out in the field, she was proficient in all the skills of agents, she was not a problem in grappling and fighting, and she was also an agent who passed the formal assessment, but the elders in the family were afraid that something would happen to her, so they transferred her back and became a confidential secretary to the deputy director Jiang Zhengfang to do civilian work.
A lot of things must have happened during this period, but it was not something that Zhou Yi could understand.
He just needs to know that Zhuo Qinglian will be his good helper in the future.
In the next few days, Zhou Yi has been attending classes normally, and in his spare time, he thinks about the future, ponders future development, and writes scripts by the way. Since there is a goal in the future, there is no need to rush homework, after all, if Yanying is a special recruit, there is no requirement for the results of cultural classes.
What's more, Zhou Yi received xenogeneous energy transformation and strict training in his childhood, has a super memory, and the foundation of awakening, and his academic performance has never been a problem. He has always been an excellent student.
And Zhuo Qinglian has not been idle in the past few days, the acquisition negotiations over there are ongoing, and he can contact Zhou Yi with his mobile phone at any time to report the situation.
Zhou Yi did not need to participate in the acquisition negotiation in person, and he was not a professional.
Zhuo Qinglian is in charge of all this, and Zhou Yi is just shaking his hands. In fact, it is not a complete shake-off, he is responsible for coming up with excellent works. This is what he should do, and this is where the military commander wants to use him. Some of the military commanders are negotiators, but they are not literary geniuses.
Although Zhou Yi was not at the negotiation site, there was a report from Zhuo Qinglian, and he also knew the situation well.
In fact, Zhuo Qinglian's acquisition research work has already begun, and the target has already been selected.
Jiang Zhengfang got Zhou Yi, and the acquisition negotiations over there officially began.
This time, the prey is a small film company called Aurora.
Such film companies in Huaxia can't be said to be as many as a cow's hair, but they don't know how many they are, in short, they are very ordinary and ordinary, and they can't be compared with the six major Chinese companies, but they also have a certain foundation. As the so-called sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs.
Of course, like the six major Chinese companies, there are giant media groups behind them, and it is impossible to be easily acquired.
The military commanders also don't have that much money to buy, and those are all chaebol games.
There is no way to hide inside information from such an acquisition.
Naturally, it is impossible for the military commander to do such a shocking and absurd thing.
They are going to be behind the scenes, and they will never stand in front of the stage.
Therefore, acquiring a small, inconspicuous company is a reasonable choice.
There are so many such acquisitions in the industry that they don't attract attention at all.
The Aurora Pictures company is currently in a situation where it is losing money. Originally, the company has been engaged in small-cost production, and the income has been good, but then the boss was greedy, and seeing the success of other companies' big productions, he also wanted to play big productions, and as a result, several blockbusters ended dismally in a row, which not only lost all the original profits, but also led to serious losses.
In the recent blockbuster "Heroes Have Tears", the boss chose the wrong director, and made a blockbuster of hot gunfights and police and bandits into a literary film, with an investment of more than 100 million yuan, and the recovery was less than 50 million.
This is a familiar story!
Zhou Yi hadn't seen this movie, but he found it interesting.
The bosses of other people are hospitalized, and it is estimated that they will not be able to hold on, and the negotiations are likely to be resolved in a few days.
Zhou Yi felt very relaxed.
As he expected, the negotiations were over before the weekend.
In fact, this tug-of-war negotiation took only three days.
The other party had no resistance at all, and directly disarmed and surrendered.
It is said that the banks are secretly exerting a lot of pressure.
In the face of the company's heavy losses and the bank's high debt, no matter how much it is negotiated.
In the end, Zhuo Qinglian won the film company at a very small price.
According to Zhou Yi's meaning, the company was officially renamed: Zhengdong Film Company.
With a company, of course, it is necessary to inject capital, and according to the prior agreement, the money will go from Zhou Yi's royalties to the manuscript fee. Zhou Yi directly provided 100 million Chinese yuan for the acquisition, and after clearing the bank liabilities and deducting the acquisition money, it will probably inject 40 million Chinese yuan into the company.
On the surface, the acquisition cost a lot, but if you count the company's fixed assets, several building floors of the headquarters and branches, independent studios, various photographic equipment, film and TV series studios, recording studios, post-production rooms and human resources, as well as copyright resources for various film and television dramas, etc., it is actually worth it and saves yourself a lot of trouble.
However, Zhou Yi's bank account number was almost cleared directly.
Actually, it's not that serious.
Although this amount of money is also a huge amount of money for Zhou Yi, it is nothing at all compared to his ability. With his extraordinary memory and awakened memories of his past life, isn't it common to write a few books? It's just that becoming a great writer is not his ideal.
As far as the series of "Military Commander Secrets: Codename 007" is concerned, there are currently millions of copies per volume, tens of millions of total sales, and royalties have already exceeded 100 million.
This number may sound scary, even incredible.
However, in today's world, Huaxia is a genuine vested interest, and naturally cracks down on piracy very severely, which is similar to that of the United States in the previous life.
However, piracy is such a thing as a wildfire, and the spring breeze blows and grows, and it is repeatedly banned, not nothing.
It's just that there is a military commander, which pirate dares to steal this book?
As a result of brushing the tiger's whiskers, he would have been killed a long time ago.
This is also the advantage of being backed by military command.
Zhou Yi benefited a lot.
In this world, due to the strength of the country, the Chinese dollar has always been in a strong position, and it is equivalent to the US dollar, one Chinese dollar is exchanged for one dollar, and the value of the US dollar is similar to that of the previous life. Therefore, 40 million Chinese yuan is also a huge amount of money, in addition to the company's normal expenses, there is no pressure to make a few small-budget movies. Of course, the work should be carried out as soon as possible, and we can't keep a bunch of idlers and sit idle.
Although the company made necessary layoffs, most of the old employees were retained in order to ensure normal operation and stable development.
At present, Zhou Yi has little experience, and he still has to go to school, so he naturally needs to be assisted by some experienced people.
And the company also has some fixed-contract directors and actors, as well as crew members, all kinds of behind-the-scenes, all of which are useful.
Zhuo Qinglian is very stable.
In fact, Zhou Yi never thought of going to a big spy production like "007" or "Mission Impossible" from the beginning, he had no experience and no acting skills, so he had to practice with small films first. It would be good if it could be screened in art theaters on a small scale, and if the test screening and screening effect were good, it would be distributed in cooperation with large companies to expand the scale of screening.
Even a film like "Cold-Blooded Thirteen Eagles", he doesn't plan to shoot it first.
After all, "Cold-Blooded Thirteen Eagles" needs at least some acting skills, and in his previous life, it was played by the then first-line superstar Dillon, and his acting skills were absolutely passable. If you want to remake these films, you must make an effect that far surpasses the previous life, so that you can be considered qualified, and you can't make it a nostalgic film!
I still take some films that don't require much acting skills to practice my skills first.
Which film should you choose?
Now it's time to decide.
Sister Zhuo sent the legal documents over to Zhou Yi for signing, and by the way, asked him to go to the company's headquarters on weekends and school holidays to meet with the employees and discuss the company's future development plan.
It would be better if we could come up with a script first.
Zhou Yi has been prepared in this regard, and has thought of several plans in the past few days, and now he only needs to make a decision.
At night, Zhou Yi avoided noisy roommates and classmates, and did not study in the self-study room, took his laptop alone, went out of school, found a hotel with a good environment nearby, opened a room, and then quietly began to write the script inside.
The main title of the script is: Five Poison Gates.
