Chapter 339. Negotiation!
"Eksh!" Yin Tianyou's shout quickly spread from the walkie-talkie to the ears of each department, and each department operated rapidly. Yin Tianyou values them so much, and they definitely don't want Yin Tianyou to be disappointed.
As the male protagonist, Kang Fei, playing "Hu Bayi", jumped down from the top of the hill immediately, nearly 30 stories high, which is really a very terrible thing. However, Yin Tianyou demanded that he must remain calm during the fall, and he must not show a trace of panic.
At that moment, the demolition team and the pyrotechnic team began their mission at the same time, and the hill trembled several times in the camera lens under the vibrators they had set up to show the intensity of the explosion.
Almost at the same time, flames erupted like dragons, causing panic in the hearts of the people. The whole hill collapsed and cracked, flying sand and rocks, like a volcanic eruption, especially many boulders seemed to be hit by the shock wave of the explosion in that instant, and immediately crushed outwards and smashed to the ground.
Kang Fei tried his best to restrain the panic in his heart, and even tried to make his face and eyes present and project the calmness of Taishang's pressure and color. The suspended photographer was holding a small camera and falling below him, trying to capture Kang Fei's expression wholeheartedly.
At this moment, with a pop, the two fell into the net together, and were immediately caught by the action stunt group opposite. Yin Tianyou was overjoyed to see such a situation, as long as Kang Fei's performance was fine, then there would only be static shooting and some make-up shots left in this scene.
After calculating the explosion shot, as well as the flame spray shot, it was enough, and Yin Tianyou shouted: "cuT!" β
Hear this sound card. Almost everyone in the crew sweated profusely. This scene is so painful, they have spent far more effort on it than they have made in the past ten films.
The rest of the scenes were filmed in Beijing. The next day, Yin Tianyou immediately dragged the crew to the capital. The dramas in the capital are mainly some relatively warm plays, and the main venue is selected in the Panjiayuan area. The content is antique trading and trading, in this scene, Kang Fei and Linglong do not have many scenes, but the actor who plays the "big golden tooth", the role is very heavy, but his acting skills are also very good, worthy of being an elite actor selected by Yin Tianyou, so the progress of the filming of the entire crew is very fast.
β¦β¦
It was an ordinary night, and Yin Tianyou was talking to the deputy director of the Mainland Film Bureau and the China Film Company at the hotel. It's about the release of the film and the collaboration. In fact, there is nothing to talk about, since it is a co-production of the three major companies, plus there is a front part to lay the foundation, plus the government's intention to support it, it is naturally not a problem to release it in the mainland.
As for piracy, Yin Tianyou is not worried. At present, the crackdown on online piracy is very strong, especially after the emergence of the online piracy incident of "Hong Kong Clan", which has aroused the market's attention to this matter.
It is said that when "Hong Kong" was released, a company deliberately asked its staff to publish a clear version of this drama on the Internet out of vicious competition. It seems that the "Hong Kong Iron" side has suffered a great loss. In this regard, the entire mainland film industry began to pay attention to the problem of piracy, which was raised to the level of criminal punishment.
So now Yin Tianyou doesn't pay too much attention to piracy, unless an eyeless guy wants to commit a crime against the wind.
To be exact. Yin Tianyou and this Deputy Director Zhang discussed this matter is a process, the three major film companies have their own theaters, and they are also inextricably linked with the people of China Film and the Film Bureau. Originally, Yin Tianyou didn't need to come forward. It was the director who had to take the initiative to ask for a discussion with Yin Tianyou.
Sure enough, after talking to each other about the release. The deputy director, surnamed Zhang, said straight to the point: "Mr. Yin, in fact, we have another business with you in the next few days. As everyone knows. You have unparalleled popularity in Korea, especially in movies, and you have the status of the chairman of an entertainment group, so we would like to ask you for one thing. β
Seeing that this Director Zhang said so solemnly, Yin Tianyou couldn't help but be amused, "Please don't dare to be, just say it and see if I can help." β
"I'm more relieved when you say that." Director Zhang smiled, "You also know that the mainland film industry is developing rapidly, but the soft power is still not enough, especially in terms of technology, it is even more backward, for example, our proud "Monster Hunt", most of the special effects are made from South Korea and Hollywood, as well as "Nine-Story Demon Tower" and "Dragon Quest", all blockbusters, especially blockbusters that require special effects, almost all spend money to ask foreign aid to help design special effects production. β
"In view of this, we would like to promote the development of special effects in mainland films, but South Korea has film protection regulations that prohibit foreign investors from acquiring film companies and technology companies, so we can't talk about our desire to promote the development of special effects in our country."
Hearing this, Yin Tianyou generally understood what Director Zhang meant, the mainland wanted to acquire a Korean special effects company, but it could not be carried out smoothly due to the regulations and systems there, so he wanted to use his own identity and strength to do this.
"Dare to ask Director Zhang, how can you believe in me like this, believe that I can do this?"
"Hehe, who asked you to donate 500 million national treasures in one go? How could such a patriotic person of Chinese descent refuse this? Director Zhang put a high hat on Yin Tianyou.
The general manager of China Film Liu, who had never spoken much, also added to the fire and said: "Yes, this matter is a major event for the benefit of the country and the people, I hope Mr. Yin, you will not refuse." β
Yin Tianyou smiled, "First of all, I'm very sorry. Although I have some ability in South Korea, I am still a little powerless to buy a special effects company, and secondly, even if I really want to acquire, I need a lot of financial support, and it is not something that can be done casually with fifty or sixty million, and the fifty or sixty million I mean here is US dollars, and finally, although I am Chinese, I grew up in South Korea and am very familiar with Korean films, especially this kind of special effects company, which will not be easily acquired by foreign companies. β
It seemed that he had guessed that Yin Tianyou would answer like this, and Director Zhang and Manager Liu glanced at each other.
"Mr. Yin, we also understand what you mean. So we have another proposalβ"
There was a pause. Director Zhang continued: "We contribute a part of the funds and cooperate with each other. Then come and buy it on your behalf. In this way, this company is also a Korean company. But on the technical side, we shareβ"
Shrewd, so shrewd.
But Yin Tianyou is not a vegetarian, "Yes, you can pay 80 million US dollars, and we will work together on this matter." β
What, eighty million?
"Mr. Yin, my company hopes to cooperate with you, but you can see ...... in terms of this price" Mr. Liu of China Film Company looked at Yin Tianyou very sincerely, trying to bring down the price.
Yin Tianyou smiled slightly, he had expected such a situation. So he was ready to give a look to the female secretary next to him. The female secretary knowingly took out a piece of information: "If you want to acquire the most well-known DigitalIdea in South Korea in the name of China Film Group, it will cost at least 120 million US dollars, and in cooperation with our JYP Entertainment, you only need to spend 80 million US dollars, saving one-third of the money." β
After speaking, Yin Tianyou waved his hand, and the female secretary began to introduce the specific matters of this company.
DigitalIdea is Korea's largest film and television special effects (VFX) company with state-of-the-art technology and expertise, and serves film production from a variety of aspects.
Since its inception in 1998. He has produced more than 250 domestic and foreign films. It has more than 10 VFXSupervitors and productionManagers responsible for the production and management of projects, a complete enterprise organizational structure and more than 100 outstanding designers in the industry.
Film and television works: DigitalIdea has participated in the production of mainstream Korean films such as "National Representative", "MYWAY", "League of Thieves", "TOWER", "Look", and "Sea Mist", contributing to the expansion of Korean films into overseas markets. Relying on its diversified services and leading new media and 3D visual effects creation technology, its business scope has gradually expanded from China. Since 2007, he has participated in the production of the Hollywood movie "The King of Kung Fu", "Martial Arts" by well-known overseas directors Chen Kexin, "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" by Tsui Hark, 3D "Havoc in Heaven" by Zheng Baorui, "Lupin III" by Ryuhei Kitamura and other films.
DigitalIdea's production frequency is 5-6 big-budget films a year. On average, there are more than 2,000 special effects shots per film, and they are simulated through digital, masked painting environments, and special effects. Finish the production. As a result, the annual profit can be as high as 300 million dollars.
Awards: The works he participated in have won the Blue Dragon Film Award, the Korean Film Daejong Award, the Golden Horse Award and the Asian Film Festival in Taiwan.
That General Manager Liu and Director Zhang couldn't help but be shocked. They didn't expect Yin Tianyou to be so well prepared. But what shocked them was still behind, Yin Tianyou looked at the two with a smile and said lightly: "Now the annual ticket growth in the mainland market is as high as 60 percent, according to this number, it will soon be able to break through 40 billion, 50 billion, 60 billion, so as to surpass North America and become the world's largest ticket warehouse, when the time comes to the cost of special effects, roughly calculated, up to 1.8 billion per year, a total of nearly 300 million US dollars, isn't this attractive enough?" β
At the mention of this, Yin Tianyou couldn't help but secretly sigh with emotion. Now the development speed of mainland films is faster than that of a rocket, from more than 120 billion in 2012 to 40 billion now, which is simply a miracle for many people.
These materials are not provided by JYP, but are the results of surveys and statistics and calculations from Yin Tianyou's investment department. Mr. Liu of China Film Company is obviously not a very weak negotiation partner, and he quickly regrouped and said: "Mr. Yin, your investigation is basically correct, but please don't ignore the fraud of the total box office of these years, as well as the unstable factors!" β
"Of course, of course I know it!" Yin Tianyou sat on the sand calmly, took a sip of the water handed by the female secretary, and then stared at the two and said, "So I know better what kind of profits can be obtained by acquiring such a powerful special effects company!" β
"We have also calculated, we will pay a maximum of 50 million US dollars to acquire this company, since it is a cooperation, you can't not pay a penny." Mr. Liu was very stubborn and refused to give in to anything.
"Ok, it's a very simple matter, since you think that 50 million can be done, then I'll propose another plan - four or six shares!" Yin Tianyou smiled weirdly, which made President Liu and Director Zhang wonder if it was the right idea to deal with this capitalist: "China Film will pay 25 million first, and then pay the rest when the acquisition is successful, as for the future profit sharing, you four, I six!" β
In fact, Yin Tianyou's idea is very simple, how much money you pay, how much profit you make.
At this moment, Mr. Liu and Director Zhang were stunned, for them, they really didn't expect Yin Tianyou to be so harsh, and it was simply clear that the capitalist's mercenary face was revealed, which really made it difficult for them to associate Yin Tianyou in front of them with Yin Tianyou, who donated 500 million national treasures to the country.
Is this still the same person?
Yin Tianyou saw that they were stunned, so he asked, "How is it, about my proposal?" β
Mr. Liu thought about it for a while, glanced at Minister Zhang again, and saw that he nodded slightly and agreed. After talking about this matter, Minister Zhang said with a smile: "Mr. Yin, now I heard that you are cooperating with the three major private film companies, so are you interested in cooperating with China Film?" For example, co-investing in certain films and so on. β
"Cooperation?" Yin Tianyou couldn't help laughing: "I'm absolutely fine, but I want to tell you that the initial total investment of "Touching the Golden Captain" is 300 million yuan, and the investment will be bigger and bigger in the future." Is it acceptable for a film of this scale? β
Mr. Liu's face turned white instantly, and Minister Zhang smiled reluctantly. They all know very well that the three major private film companies are wealthy, and China Film looks very bullish on the surface, but in fact, they can't be the master in many aspects, especially in terms of investment amount, unless there is a super cast like "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic", many actors are free to act, and they will like to do this kind of business without losing money.
But just because there's no way to work together doesn't mean there's nothing to talk about. Yin Tianyou smiled heartily: "It's better to go to dinner together, maybe we can talk about cooperation at the dinner table!" β
"That's very good." Mr. Liu and Minister Zhang both laughed, since people are going to have a meal, then they will chat together. Although they can see the face of Yin Tianyou's capitalists clearly, as long as they can contribute to the film industry, as long as they can contribute to the development of the film, as long as they can work together to make money, then it is easy to say anything.
