Chapter 202: Storm Video
In the face of Zhou Renliang's excessive trust, Chen Mo was a little annoyed.
So, just give this ...... Get a script too?
After all, zombie romance movies, Chen Mo really doesn't have them in his head, such as "Warm Corpse", which is known as the zombie version of Twilight.
Oh, the name "Warm Corpse" sounds a bit like a necrophilia, so it can also be replaced with a more neutral movie title - "Flesh and Blood".
That's right, it's "Flesh and Blood", although it sounds a little similar to "Superman - Man of Steel", but this movie with two names is indeed a zombie romance.
Of course, if it weren't for Zhou Renliang mentioning zombie romance films, Chen Mo really wouldn't have thought of this well-rated film for a while.
But this movie script, Chen Mo will not give it to Zhou Renliang in vain, after all, everyone is not familiar enough to teach each other privately.
This is the simplest problem of distant and close relatives, no way - who made Zhou Renliang not a sister, and not a choppy girl?
So this matter must be discussed in advance.
Of course, Chen Mo's request is also very simple, he just asks for a share of the script to participate in the share of the movie box office.
This is not unusual, even if Chen Mo traveled through the world before he traveled, the script author at the top of the food chain is also eligible to participate in the box office share.
Not to mention, in this parallel world, intellectual property rights are more emphasized.
All in all, Chen Mo is really not a lion's mouth.
"Now I am still attached to the Long Film Studio, so the films made will also go through the channels of the Long Film Studio, and it is estimated that the theater chain and the Long Film Studio will share a total of 60% of the box office. The remaining 30% of the box office will be divided by the funders, and I am willing to transfer all the director's shares to you, Mr. Chen. Coupled with the normal script sharing, Mr. Chen, you take 10% of the total box office. No questions asked! ”
Zhou Renliang was really well prepared, and as soon as Chen Mo mentioned the question, he immediately answered in a clear manner.
"In other words, the remaining twenty-fifty percent of the box office will all be divided by the film funders?"
Chen Mo understood.
"Yes, Mr. Chen, after all, even if it is a script you make, I am still just a newcomer to the director's circle, so ...... I'm sorry, but the ratio couldn't be higher! ”
Zhou Renliang thought that Chen Mo was too little-yes. Chen Mo sings casually now, and the money is already rolling in, so why bother to make movie scripts?
Movies are high-risk investments, and no one can guarantee that the movies that will be released before the movie is released, and whether it will be a big profit or a huge loss in the end.
The difference between writing a script and writing a novel is not much, when the playwright is creating, he will feel that his new work will be a big hit, but there are not many works that really make most readers and audiences buy it, and most of the final fate is to fight to death in the street.
"What if I also become an investor in films?"
Chen Mo smiled. Since he is willing to come up with the script, Chen Mo doesn't mind becoming an investor in the film by the way.
After all, compared with "Resident Evil", the investment in "Warm Corpse" or "Flesh and Blood" is actually much, much smaller. What's more, if you set up a project to shoot now, you can also take advantage of the convenience of "Resident Evil" to shoot together, so you can save a lot of money.
So Chen Mo estimated. At most, if you invest a maximum of seven or eight million, you can make this zombie romance film.
This bit of money. Chen Mo can really take it out now.
And if Chen Mo remembers correctly, in the world before the time travel. The final box office of "Warm Corpse" seems to be more than 300 million and close to 400 million - US dollars.
It's true that the world here doesn't have such a vast zombie movie base, but doesn't that happen to be a huge advantage?
If you shoot faster, you will basically be able to land in theaters when Yu Bowen's version of "Resident Evil" is released......
What the final box office will be is completely uncertain!
But how can a three-fifty box office income be able to take away at least forty or fifty million, right?
Chen Mo thought so.
Of course, in order to improve the director's enthusiasm for work, Chen Mo will definitely not take all of it, but will leave a little box office share for Zhou Renliang.
"I am also willing to contribute a part, and the proportion of capital contribution will not exceed Chen Mo."
Before Chen Mo's words fell, Feng Zhinan immediately followed.
"If there is still a funding gap, you can go to crowdfunding!"
Feng Zhinan added.
There is no doubt that Feng Zhinan thought that Chen Mo was going to engage in a large-cost and large-scale production script, so he specifically mentioned crowdfunding.
After the successful completion of the Resident Evil crowdfunding and the ongoing Le Foundation charity crowdfunding, the concept of crowdfunding has quickly gained popularity and is highly anticipated by potential investors who have spare funds but are struggling to find high-return projects.
In view of this demand, Feng Zhinan has instructed Tesco Mall to open a special crowdfunding page, and set up a crowdfunding management business department in the company, and dispatched a large number of elite soldiers to look around and investigate suitable crowdfunding projects.
The work of the crowdfunding business department is fruitful, and the crowdfunding page is almost full of crowdfunding business during this time, and even the first few high-quality crowdfunding have been reached, and dividends are already being distributed to crowdfunding funders.
It is precisely because of this that Feng Zhinan took the opportunity to transfer 5% of the shares of Tesco Mall to Chen Mo's name.
At the beginning, Feng Zhinan thought that Tesco Mall would need a certain degree of external financing in the development process.
But the truth is far better than what Chen Mo said at the beginning, Tesco Mall has turned a profit in the third month after opening, and now it can be called a daily profit.
If not, how could Feng Zhinan actively expand his business overseas.
And the great success of Tesco Mall also made Feng Zhinan more and more impressed by Chen Mo's business sense.
Now that Chen Mo is going to enter the film industry, Feng Zhinan does not hesitate to follow closely.
"Crowdfunding shouldn't be necessary, if you want to shoot this zombie love script, it basically won't cost too much money."
Chen Mo vetoed Feng Zhinan's crowdfunding proposal.
Can't afford to spend too much money?
This statement. Suddenly Feng Zhinan's heart moved, she still didn't understand what Chen Mo wanted to express. That is to say, the movie script that will be given to Zhou Renliang will be a small-budget movie.
So Feng Zhinan's heart moved. Immediately said: "Chen Mo, how about we make a film company together?" I can merge my audio-visual company, and as for the proportion of capital contribution...... How about you being 5 out of 1 and me 4 out of 9? ”
Ha?
Miss Feng, what is your idea?
"Miss Feng, it's not that you don't know, I'm not good at the management and operation of the company."
Chen Mo took the initiative to expose his shortcomings, and in his consciousness, the proportion of capital contribution of fifty percent means that he is actually the controlling shareholder, which in turn means that he must be the chairman of the board of directors to manage the company's operation and management.
But the Chen Mo Lianle Fund, a non-profit organization, is not well managed......
"Stupid. Who said that holding a controlling company should be involved in operation and management? Can't you just find a manager? Besides, how many major events do you need to make decisions about a company whose main business is film and music?"
Feng Zhinan can only teach Chen Mo face-to-face, she is also the person who manages the company, if she needs to do everything herself, wouldn't she be exhausted to death, where will she have time to come to participate in any film festival?
The speaker has no intention of listening to the heart, Chen Mo thought about it carefully, and found that this is really the truth!
Chen Mo's mind is actually full of ideas. And all of them are ideas that have been tested in practice and can indeed be sold and made a lot of money in the end, so how much does it matter if you know how to manage and run a company?
Just turn those ideas into reality, and then the ads will make the products sell. Can't you make a lot of money and you can't make a little money?
As for the daily operation of the company, it can be handed over to the professional manager.
Well, according to Miss Feng. That is, everything else can be left alone, as long as the personnel and financial rights are tightly grasped.
So...... Would you like to give it a try?
Chen Mo was a little tempted.
"Good. And so it was decided! So the question now is - what do you think this audio-visual company should be called? ”
Feng Zhinan looked at Chen Mo's expression. I had already guessed Chen Mo's true thoughts.
"How's the Storm Video?" Chen Mo subconsciously responded, and then immediately added: "Don't care, I just said casually, this name is not suitable for a film company." ”
Chen Mo is actually a very nostalgic person, since he first used this video playback tool in 2004, he has been using Storm Video until he is passed through by the soul.
"It sounds like a good name, at least I think it's appropriate, what do you think?"
Feng Zhinan immediately affirmed the name Storm Audio, and turned his head to ask for the opinions of others.
"Not bad, very good! After the establishment of this company, it will definitely bring a huge storm in the industry, so it is too appropriate to use the name of the storm - uh-" Zhou Renliang followed closely and praised, but when he liked it almost enough, his expression suddenly became embarrassed again, because: "I mean the name Storm ......"
"Well, I also think it's a pretty good name, so how about making this storm video company also have the business of making video games? I can be a free game tester and a non-paid kind of volunteering! Well, my suggestion is superb, isn't it? ”
Ji Yanran didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and rushed to put forward her suggestion.
Well, this girl's memory has not been able to recover yet, otherwise she would definitely not have made such a suggestion.
As for the other actors and actresses of "Love in Honolulu", they were praised by Chen Mo without any hesitation, although they said a lot, but the meaning can be summarized roughly - the storm video is good, the storm video is wonderful, and the storm video is croaking.
At such a time, why not say good things?
These actors have not yet stood at the top of the food chain in the actor circle, and they are still at the stage where they have to live with the film company, and they are still far from being able to pick the film company as they like.
So if Chen Mo's Storm Video and Audio finally fails, all everyone will lose is these few good words today, but what if Storm Video is really bigger?
The young Mr. Chen in front of him is a powerful figure that must not be underestimated!
That was originally unknown, but now it has entered the forefront of online music websites, isn't it because of this Mr. Chen that it has grown so strong by leaps and bounds?
People who know the inside story, who doesn't say that the only one who monopolized about Murong Xiuxiu on Tianlai Music Network is an idiot woman who is stupid to the house?
For the sake of a little bit of small profit in front of him, he tried his best to provoke Mr. Chen in front of him, and as a result, Mr. Chen took a "trumpet" in the nature of a ticket, and humiliated the girl......
At that time, if Murong Xiuxiu had been smarter, with the current status of Tianlai Music Network, coupled with her status as a veteran of Tianlai, what would she look like now?
No, this is a living negative teaching material!
So if Storm Video gets bigger, it's hard to guarantee that he won't become a predator in the film company, and at that time, if this Mr. Chen in front of him thinks a little bit about the old love, he won't be praised as an actor or actress, right?
If it's not good, you can also mix a film about it, right?
"Very good, then Storm Video! Since it is to make a movie, it is not suitable for the registered capital to be too small...... Chen Mo, how about making the registered capital 20 million? Note that I'm not talking about the registered capital at the time of filing, but about the actual injection of so much capital into this new company! ”
Since everyone has no opinions, Feng Zhinan, who was originally just asking casually, naturally determined the name of Storm Audio, and then wanted to determine the company's share capital.
But the actual registered capital of 20 million is the figure......
Miss Feng, didn't you really report it on purpose?
Chen Mo's bank account has a number of deposits, and now it is just over 10 million funds!
Deliberately, this figure of registered capital is definitely deliberate!
But...... It doesn't matter, anyway, as long as Chen Mo is willing, he will make a few more album music, and the deposit number will be able to rise rapidly again.
"Okay, 20 million is 20 million, but I don't care about the specific management of the company."
Chen Mo, who felt that he had been plotted, took the opportunity to put forward conditions.
"No problem, I'll do these things."
Feng Zhinan accepted the move without blinking.
Thus, Storm Video was established - verbally.
"Director Zhou, after listening to so much, what is your choice?"
After negotiating with Chen Mo, Feng Zhinan immediately shifted his gaze and focused his attention on Zhou Renliang.
Choose?
What are the options?
Chen Mo said that he didn't understand at all.
But Zhou Renliang understood, after a long silence with his head lowered and hesitant, Zhou Renliang seemed to have finally made up his mind, he slowly raised his head to look at Feng Zhinan, and said-
"I ...... Willing to join Storm Video. ”
It seems like a tough choice.
This made Feng Zhinan also show a victorious smile, and she responded to Zhou Renliang with a smile: "Director Zhou, you will definitely find out in the future that this is a very wise choice." ”
After speaking, Feng Zhinan turned his head to look at Chen Mo again, still with a victorious smile on his face: "Look at Chen Mo, our Storm Audio-Visual Company already has the first signed director, so we need to celebrate it, isn't it?" (To be continued......)
