Chapter 191: The Second Director
Two young men, one is Li Shurong, who is thirty years old, and the other is Zhang Ruian, who is twenty-six, both of them are rich second generations, or rich second generations outside the family that has gradually become independent.
They now have two or three projects in their hands, and they don't have a lot of liquidity on hand, but they also have a lot of money.
Investing in film companies and cinemas is also one of the projects they are interested in.
And the middle-aged woman's name is Yao Hongna, her husband was originally the owner of Jin'an Real Estate, but she died of illness a few years ago, Yao Hongna is not good at taking care of her husband's company, and gradually the company changed hands and got a lot of money.
After two years, Yao Hongna also felt that she couldn't sit on the mountain like this, and heard that the interests of the film company were now in the general trend, so she was ready to get involved.
Wang Jin and her husband are more familiar, so Wang Jin intends to enter the film industry, so she agreed.
After the introduction, Chen Jiayao was not in a hurry to discuss cooperation, but chatted with the three of them.
The process of chatting is actually a process of their temptation.
Chen Jiayao also learned from the chat that Li Shurong and Zhang Ruian did not put their eggs in the same basket, that is, they were just interested in it, and they did not necessarily have to enter the film industry, so they would not take out more than half of the industry they held.
The joint venture between the two is about 120 million, Yao Hongna can come up with 60 million, as for Wang Jin, he really doesn't have much money, let alone 10 million, even 5 million may not be able to raise it.
Wang Jin is a new director after all, he has only been in the industry for a few years, and he is working outside Shaw Brothers, receiving dead wages and bonuses, and has made two blockbuster movies in the past two years. Very little was gained.
Chen Jiayao heard that he bought a house and a car, and he spent about the same.
However, Wang Tianlin still has a lot of savings, and Wang Jin is also famous for having many friends, and it is still very promising to raise a sum of money in this big move.
In addition, the acquisition also requires the connections behind Wang Tianlin, and these things are more valuable than tens of millions.
The budget is 300 million, but Shao Yifu really released the news, and 500 million is willing to accept it. Therefore, it depends on how Wang Tianlin can determine the price to determine the shares.
If 300 million is won, Wang Jin will occupy at least 10% of the shares.
As the topic gets deeper and deeper, it almost depends on whether Chen Jiayao can raise 100 million yuan by the end of next year. And. Wang Tianlin's news.
Everyone here has also made a covenant to inject capital as soon as the two conditions are met.
Prior to this, the formation of the distribution company had already begun to be on the agenda.
Chen Jiayao wants to start secretly making movies with this company as the base.
The three outsiders just asked two questions. and he did not pay any more attention. After all, the investors and persons in charge are Chen Jiayao and Wang Jin, insiders.
They want to see it too. After the establishment of the company, whether Chen Jiayao can guarantee the previous glory, if the result is not satisfactory, they may strive for more benefits when Shaw Brothers enters the sale.
I met Wu Yusen in a quiet coffee shop. The script he took was indeed "The True Color of Heroes".
The script of "The True Color of Heroes" is very exciting, Chen Jiayao is very strange, even if Wu Yusen is an outdated director, seeing such a wonderful script, it will not be impossible to attract a little investment, so after being silent for a long time, Chen Jiayao asked bluntly.
Wu Yusen was a little embarrassed, Chen Jiayao could climb to this position within two years, and indeed she couldn't ignore her scheming.
"I just terminated my contract with Shinichijo, and I didn't have a good time with them."
Chen Jiayao was surprised, not that he was an outdated director, even if the contract was terminated, it would not be unpleasant.
Wu Yusen said with some self-deprecation: "Before the contract was terminated, this script was written, and Xinyicheng intended to shoot secretly, but the director didn't want me." ”
Xinyicheng didn't do anything, but this matter didn't hide from anyone, and Wu Yusen is indeed not a talent worth wooing, most investors will naturally not offend Xinyicheng, a behemoth in the film industry.
It turned out that Tsui Hark set up a personal studio, and at this time Tsui Hark was still from the new city, so naturally he couldn't support Wu Yusen to make this movie.
"What's the budget?" Chen Jiayao groaned.
Does this seem to agree with him to be a director?
Wu Yusen wants to make a movie, and he has the intention to say that the budget is a little less, hoping that it will be easy to persuade success.
But he was entangled with a small budget, and the movie couldn't make what he wanted......
"Six or seven million!" He was vague.
Chen Jiayao had a slight smile on her face, it seemed that it was less than she imagined, she thought that he just wouldn't say about 10 million, and 8 million was still needed.
"Then does Mr. Wu have any starring candidates!"
Wu Yusen listened to Chen Jiayao's tone, and seemed to be very dramatic.
"Brother Xiao Ma has thought about it, how about Zhou Yan send it to act?" Zhou Yunfa and Chen Jiayao are good partners and good friends, and he has also heard about the bet between the two.
Now that the box office of "Autumn Fairy Tale" exceeds 20 million, Zhou Yunfa will inevitably give Chen Jiayao three free movies.
Now that Zhou Runfa's worth has risen, in the past, he could be invited to make a movie for more than 100,000 yuan, but now it has risen to more than seven times. The rest of the endorsement fees have been taken to the next level.
If you save this salary, you can undoubtedly use the money for filming.
Wu Yusen's abacus played loudly.
Chen Jiayao was relieved when she heard that the little brother in Wu Yusen's heart had not changed, and she nodded.
"Song Zihao and Song Zijie, are there any candidates for Mr. Wu?"
Wu Yusen's heart is actually determined by Zhou Runfa, and he has many candidates for the rest of the roles.
"The role of Song Zihao is very important, the momentum and emotional rendering are very important, actors with good acting skills must be performed, Jiang Dawei, Di Long, Liang Jiaren are very good, and if you are younger, Lu Liangwei can also consider it."
Jiang Dawei is an Asia-Pacific actor, an actor of the older generation who was a smash hit in the 70s, whether it is action scenes or literary dramas, they are all quite good. Chen Jiayao is not very familiar with his most popular movies of the 70s, and his impression is that he stays on Huang Yaoshi and Luo Xuan in later generations.
Dillon, Chen Jiayao is more familiar with him, the original myth was filmed with him, and he is also the actor of Song Zihao in the original hero's true colors.
Liang Jiaren, the play is very good. If you shoot it, you think the momentum of the gang boss is very strong.
"As for Song Zijie, the images of young students such as Zhang Guorong, Andy Lau, and Tang Zhengye are very suitable, and you need to look at your acting skills to make a conclusion."
Wu Yusen is to say his true thoughts, investors invest in films, and the cast is the focus of their attention, which can not only see the vision of a director, but also determine whether they can make profits.
Chen Jiayao put down the script in his hand, and then took a sip of coffee, which made Wu Yusen's heart beat violently.
Wait until Chen Jiayao puts down the coffee. Wu Yusen became even more nervous.
"How is Mr. Wu going to shoot? What does the team think? ”
Wu Yusen breathed a sigh of relief. As Chen Jiayao asked more questions, the greater the hope.
He had already done his homework, and although he was nervous, he was almost forty years old. In front of a girl who is less than twenty years old, there is no stiff stage fright.
He knew that Chen Jiayao had also directed the play. Although it was filmed with Li Ammonium. But after watching the movie, he felt that Chen Jiayao was by no means a layman.
So, he poured out his thoughts in one go.
Chen Jiayao heard his analysis and thoughts. Completely put your mind at ease.
She was also afraid that because the movie came out early, Wu Yusen's shooting techniques would be different.
The success of the movie "The True Color of Heroes", in addition to the good story and good acting skills of the actors, Wu Yusen's shooting techniques are also an indispensable factor, and now hearing him say this, Chen Jiayao has brewed countless times in his heart before the film has even started.
It was slowly getting dark.
Chen Jiayao also benefited a lot from listening to it, and joined in the inquiry and discussion, and the time passed in a flash.
As a result, Chen Jiayao naturally agreed to invest.
Wu Yusen finally settled down, Chen Jiayao seemed to be as easy to convince as he imagined.
It's no wonder that she dared to use a rookie director and box office poison, and filmed "Autumn Fairy Tale" in the midst of countless media outlets.
"Recently, a few friends and I are preparing to set up a film company, although the main distribution and investment, but also the meaning of shooting movies, so the filming of this film may have to wait until the company is officially established, as the first film to start shooting, hoping to get a good start."
Wu Yusen was surprised, after all, Chen Jiayao's aura as a wireless Shaw Brothers actor is very big, how not to be shocked when he heard that she was going to set up a company.
Later, hearing that this movie was the first play of the company, Wu Yusen couldn't help but be a little excited and frightened.
The company's first play, especially the company established by celebrities such as Chen Jiayao, is undoubtedly the focus of the media, and in this case, the first play is undoubtedly very important.
Unexpectedly, Chen Jiayao was so optimistic about this movie and had so confidence in him.
"The script is very good, and Mr. Wu is also very talented, what else is there to worry about?" Chen Jiayao saw what Wu Yusen was thinking, and directly picked it out.
"At the beginning, Director Li Ammonium was also like this."
This sentence undoubtedly made Wu Yusen feel good.
"Congratulations to Mr. Chen!"
Chen Jiayao smiled: "I'm just on the board of directors, the company operates, I don't know how to manage it, so Mr. Chen doesn't need to say it." ”
Wu Yusen smiled, his mind turned quickly, and he quickly decided, and said: ""The True Color of Heroes" is the company's first film, I wonder if I can become the company's first director? ”
Chen Jiayao has been paving for so long, just waiting for Wu Yusen's words.
She trusts him everywhere, values him, and puts "The True Color of Heroes" on the company's first big play, a director who has not joined any company, and it is natural for him to be tied to the boat of the new company.
"Of course, Mr. Wu is welcome, but the first one is a little late, and Wang Jin joined as one of the shareholders."
Wu Yusen smiled and shook hands with Chen Jiayao.
"The company's first movie must not be negligent, "The True Color of Heroes" has a lot of classic scenes, so the budget can be relaxed, it is set at 8 million, you can shoot with your heart, so as to do a good job, if it is not enough, I will add it."
Wu Yusen nodded, it turns out that joining the company has such benefits. (To be continued......)
