Chapter 23 Huayu Formation

"Mr. Li is really amazing, that's right, these are all hype, in order to get more audiences to go to the cinema to watch movies."

"How can you be sure that this is all hype?" Li Haitao was also puzzled in his heart, what he just said was his own guess, but this young man was so sure.

Chen Feng smiled slightly, "Because I am the director of the movie "Blair the Witch", this hype plan was also proposed by me. ”

"What!" Li Haitao stood up from his chair in surprise. Chen Feng said what happened with a smile, and when Li Haitao came back to his senses, he said with a smile, "Now, we can talk." ”

Li Haitao no longer regarded Chen Feng as a student who had just become an adult, but said seriously, "Of course you can." ”

Chen Feng said with a straight face: "Mr. Li, let's talk about business, can you tell us about your company?" ”

Li Haitao nodded, he took a file from his desk, which was full of introductions to Huayu Film Company, including the company's registered assets, development trajectory, which films had been filmed, and future development plans, with color illustrations in the middle, Chen Feng took the folder and flipped through it quickly, he browsed it very carefully, and he fully understood Huayu's past and present life.

Li Haitao saw Chen Feng's serious appearance, and nodded with satisfaction, only a serious person will really take care of Huayu in the future.

Li Haitao briefly introduced the reason why the company was in such a predicament, in the final analysis, it was because of his own mistake that he mistakenly believed the woman. At the same time, he also put forward his own opinions on the development of cinema.

Chen Feng has been listening to Li Haitao's explanation, in the process he did not interject a word, sometimes, listening is the best way to understand the other party, although he has decided to acquire this company, but it does not prevent him from understanding this Li Haitao's business talent better.

The final result is that Chen Feng is very satisfied, Li Haitao is definitely an excellent talent, more talented in leadership, and the most important point is that his love for movies comes from the heart, and those bosses who only know the box office and profits are not exactly the same, maybe that kind of boss can make more money in a short period of time and run the company more successfully, but if you want to develop in the long term and become bigger, a boss like Li Haitao who loves movies in his bones can go further. Chen Feng decided to keep Li Haitao no matter what, and continue to serve as the company's executive president. For Chen Feng, money can be easily obtained, and he can earn one or two hundred million yuan by taking out one or two classic movies on the earth, but it is difficult to get talents. What is the most important thing in this world now, talent!

Treating movies as pure commodities as much as they love movies as their own lives can lead to very different business results.

Chen Feng is still satisfied with Li Haitao, maybe he used to be a little frivolous, but after experiencing this precipitation, he will definitely wash away the lead and become more calm, with such a person in charge, plus Chen Feng himself has many scripts, why worry about big things, after all, no matter how powerful a film company is, in the end, it still has to use its works to speak, and the last thing Chen Feng lacks is good works.

"Okay, I'm full of confidence in the future of Huayu." Chen Feng said with a smile.

"Mr. Chen means that he has decided to buy Huayu." Li Haitao stood up excitedly.

Chen Feng smiled and shrugged his shoulders, "It seems that I have no reason to refuse." I can help you pay off your bank debts, and I can also help you pay your salary arrears, but your company will be completely mine from now on, what do you think? ”

Although Li Haitao was mentally prepared, he still trembled with excitement when he heard Chen Feng's promise with his own ears, for him, the title of the company's boss was worthless, and the huge loan was pressed on his head, so that he could not breathe freely, as long as he moved this mountain, even if he started from scratch, he had nothing to fear.

"No problem, of course." Li Haitao said excitedly.

"I have a small request, though, that I hope you will grant." Li Haitao asked nervously.

"What a request, you say." Chen Feng stretched out his hand and motioned for him to speak.

"I hope to keep the Huayu signboard, after all, this is my hard work for several years, even if the company is run by you, but if you can still retain the original name, it will be a comfort to me," Li Haitao shrugged helplessly, he also knew that the requirements were excessive, after all, this company no longer belonged to him, and this signboard did not have any appeal in the market, it may only have a negative effect.

"Yes, but I have a request." Chen Feng smiled and stretched out a finger and said.

"Whatever I want, as long as I can agree, I will definitely agree, but I have nothing now." Li Haitao smiled helplessly.

"No, you still have one more thing, and that is yourself. I hope you can continue to stay in Huayu as president. ”

"Really, really? Can I stay? Li Haitao, his dream, his enthusiasm is all here, I don't know how to continue my life after leaving the company, and now Chen Feng proposed to let him continue to stay in Huayu, even if he is a small clerk, he is excited, not to mention continuing to serve as the president of Huayu.

"Do you think I'm joking?"

"That's great, Mr. Chen, don't worry, I will definitely take care of the company." Li Haitao said with confidence that what he needs is a chance, as long as he is given another chance, he will definitely develop Huayu again, and even surpass the original scale.

"However, Mr. Chen, there is one thing I have to say, you know that I once offended Fahrenheit Movies, so I was hit by Fahrenheit, and Huayu finally went out of business, and now Huayu is starting again, I am worried that Fahrenheit will still suppress us." Li Haitao said with a sad and worried face.

"Hehe, since we want to open a film company, we are taking food from the mouths of those giant crocodiles, in this case, it is inevitable that there will be a dragon fight, what does it matter if you don't offend?" Chen Feng said with a sneer.

"What Mr. Chen said is that I was too worried. But, Mr. Chen, what do we do next? Although Li Haitao has made a decision in his heart, but now it is Chen Feng who is in charge, Chen Feng did not say, he can't speak first as a subordinate, otherwise it will give the superior a feeling of pampering and pride, what Li Haitao is doing now is to correct his position.

Chen Feng glanced at Li Haitao appreciatively, and was very satisfied with his attitude, but decided to listen to Li Haitao's suggestion first, "You are now the president, you can tell me your opinion first." ”

Li Haitao glanced at Chen Feng and knew that Chen Feng was sincere enough to let him say it, so he said with confidence, "Huayu has just undergone a blow, and its reputation has been seriously lost, and its signboard has no appeal in the market, it may only have a negative effect, in addition, according to the practice of Hangzhou and Hong Kong, a company without reputation will lose the trust of all investors, so the current Huayu will not get any investors' investment." Therefore, I suggest that Mr. Chen need to independently produce a successful film to re-establish the Huayu brand. However, it is still very difficult to make a successful movie, and if it fails again, Huayu will be even worse. ”

What Li Haitao said is exactly what Chen Feng thinks, and Chen Feng has already thought about a good way, a good movie is just a good movie, and Chen Feng has an excellent script. But in terms of what kind of movie to shoot, Chen Feng made a difficulty. "Blair the Witch" is estimated to make a profit of 200 million, and in addition to the 100 million that repays the bank, there is still 100 million left. Of the 100 million funds, at least half of them must be used for the promotion of the movie, which means that only 50 million will be used to shoot the movie. Chen Feng's original plan to buy a record company seems to be delayed.

Chen Feng thought back to his previous life, only 50 million, and finally decided to shoot "Home Alone". Home Alone is a 1990 Christmas film by director Chris Columbus. Not only did it bring joy to movie lovers, but it also made it the best comedy ever made in the United States. Surrounded by many sci-fi blockbusters, the film ranked 29th in the global box office chart with a score of $530 million. The plot of this film is exaggerated and interesting, and Macaulay King's performance is extremely exciting, and everyone loves him, establishing his status as a chief child star in one fell swoop, and winning a Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Actor. The two stupid thieves, played by Joe Percy and Daniel Stern and Macaulay, are also a perfect match, making this type of film a classic.

And the cost of "Home Alone" is only 15 million US dollars, and according to the current calculation, it is almost about 50 million, and Huayu can fully afford it. The most important thing is that Home Alone is still a series. At that time, a movie of the "007" series created MGM's glory for half a century, of course, the "Home Alone" series did not have such an effect, but at least it could bring more than one billion income to Huayu.

Chen Feng is ready to go back and write the script of "Home Alone" and let Li Haitao be responsible for finding someone to shoot it. Actually, Chen Feng also wants to make it, after all, this is a classic movie, but not to mention that Chen Feng doesn't have that skill, and school is about to start, Chen Feng doesn't want to take a leave of absence just after going to college.

The tone was set, but there are still many processes to go through in the middle of acquiring a film company, Chen Feng is a decision-maker, he has no interest in participating in these processes, so he asked Li Haitao to hire a professional manager and lawyer to control all this, it is enough to have Li Haitao control the whole process, as the boss, of course, let the people below do these things, and he, the boss, only needs to grasp the general situation of the company's development. Haha, now I'm also a boss, and I'll be the only one who will give others face in the future.
