Chapter 362: Jiang Yi Film and Television

"Eternal Red Face" continued to be screened nationwide, and it did not cool down until the end of August, and the box office revenue reached a record of more than 80 million yuan, creating a miracle in film history. (Thousand years Chinese provide the latest chapter reading >~~.~~ Bai Xiaoyi has become a well-known star in the country, and the program "Kanto Style" hosted by him has also become popular, and the ratings have created the highest value since the establishment of Songjiang TV, which is comparable to CCTV's bright card program "Huaxia Variety Show", and the popularity index has reached an unprecedented height.

Because of the movie "Eternal Red Face", Liang Zijin and Li Da are both fame and fortune, in addition to the cost of the film and the operating expenses of theaters across the country and the stipulated profit sharing, this movie has earned more than 40 million yuan so far, which Zuo Jiang did not expect when investing, according to the contract with Liang Zijin, the investor Haribo Holding Hotel received more than 28 million yuan, and Liang Zijin and Li Da received more than 12 million yuan!

Because Liang Zijin had a contract with Li Da and Jinghua Film Studio, 50% of the income from the film would be handed over to the film studio as a management fee, although they were a little heartbroken when they saw this huge management fee, but they had to pay it, and the film studio unexpectedly got a large amount of management fees, and Liang Zijin and Li Da's income shrank to 6 million yuan.

Although Liang Zijin and Li Da only got six million yuan, this money is undoubtedly astronomical for them.

During this period, Li Da's second film script "Tang Minghuang and Yang Yuhuan" has been created, and Bai Xiaoyi has been invited to be the heroine again. Bai Xiaoyi has decided to join their local crew after careful consideration, and the two are very confident in this movie and can once again reach or surpass "Eternal Red Face".

However, after the shooting plan was reported. The movie "Tang Minghuang and Yang Yuhuan" was unexpectedly not included in the next year's shooting plan, and the reason of the film studio is very simple, your plan is late, and the shooting plan for the next year is already full. The two were angry and found the leadership theory of the film studio, but the leader said without yin or yang: "This is the film studio." It's not a free market, you have to pay attention to rules in everything, and even if you are a director who has won international awards, you can't be specialized. We have to follow the rules! ”

Liang Zijin and Li Da are not stupid, after going back and thinking about it carefully, they figured out what was going on, this leader was the leader who did not agree with them to participate in the Cannes Film Festival at that time, and they insisted on participating in the Cannes Film Festival and won three international awards, which undoubtedly slapped him in the face, and this man was in the adjustment of the main leaders of the film studio at the end of July. became the number one person in charge of the film studio, holding the power of life and death in the film studio, and their ending can be imagined.

Liang Zijin and Li Da had no choice but to think of their own way to raise money for filming, just like "Eternal Red Face", the difference is that they now have money in their hands, and they don't have to ask their grandfather to sue *** to find sponsors everywhere, although they consume part of the money to buy a villa or something, the two still have more than four million cash in their hands, and they want to pull Zuo Jiang over for the insufficient part. Basically, there is no problem.

When he reported his plans to self-finance the film. The film studio agreed, but the management was increased to 70%. There is no room for negotiation, just one sentence above. You have to pay these management fees for shooting, you think about it yourself. At that time, I almost didn't make Liang Zijin and Li Da so angry that they vomited blood! There is no such bullying for bullying, and both of them resigned in a fit of anger.

Of course, Liang Zijin and Li Da did not resign as soon as their heads were hot, because Zuo Jiang promised that if they offended the leaders because of their participation in the Cannes Film Festival, they could do it themselves in the future, and Zuo Jiang could fund them to set up their own film company. It was with Zuo Jiang's promise and the money in their hands that they were resolute.

However, it is not easy to set up a film company by yourself, personnel, venues, shooting and production equipment, etc. need to be solved by yourself. The budget for the movie "Tang Minghuang and Yang Yuhuan" is 8 million, but after breaking away from the film studio, there is no film factory resources, and the cost has increased significantly. Just for the company to rent the space, it takes a lot of money to buy camera and production equipment, and the company cannot open without 10 million yuan.

Liang Zijin and Li Da are also people who do big things, and after all the considerations were understood, the two immediately flew to Songjiang to talk to Zuo Jiang about investment and cooperation.

Liang Zijin and Li Da's visit to Zuo Jiang is not unexpected, if they continue to mix in the film studio, it will undoubtedly bury talents like them, when participating in the Cannes Film Festival, Zuo Jiang had an idea in his heart, if they can be recruited into their own company, Bai Xiaoyi set up a film company, it is undoubtedly the best result.

As soon as Liang Zijin and Li Da arrived, Zuo Jiang knew that his idea was about to become a reality, because he knew what they lacked the most, Tao Fei was busy with the preparation of the Harry Potter Group headquarters and had no time, Zuo Jiang and Bai Xiaoyi received them.

Because he had a good cooperative relationship before and knew Zuo Jiang well, Liang Zijin did not go around the bend with Zuo Jiang, and directly explained his intention. Bai Xiaoyi got the movie script of "Tang Minghuang and Yang Yuhuan" a month ago, and after reading it, Zuo Jiang thought that this movie was no less than the quality of "Eternal Red Face", and it was very promising, so the negotiations went relatively smoothly.

But Liang Zijin and Li Da are unwilling to be subservient, their plan is that they will invest four million, Zuo Jiang will invest six million, Liang Zijin's popular director and Li Da's famous screenwriter are also counted as shareholding talent resources, accounting for a certain proportion of shares for cooperation, the company is controlled by them 5 Liang Zijin's popular director and Li Da's famous screenwriter can indeed be regarded as a talent resource shareholder, and the proportion of this talent resource in the stock is not low, but they missed a little. That is, Zuojiang also has the popular movie star Bai Xiaoyi, a popular movie star's box office appeal is not comparable to a popular director, even if you add a popular screenwriter, it can't be reached.

Zuo Jiang proposed that Bai Xiaoyi be counted as a talent resource after becoming a shareholder. Liang Zijin and Li Da fell silent, of course they knew the value of Bai Xiaoyi, and Zuo Jiang's condition must not be too much, they didn't include Bai Xiaoyi in their plan at the beginning, they only regarded her as a first-line movie star. It is possible to pay her to be the heroine.

Zuo Jiang saw that they were silent and did not speak, so he said: "Director Liang and Editor Li, after cooperating to establish a film company, our Harry Potter Group will not directly participate in your specific business. I will give 20% of the shares to Bai Xiaoyi, and she will be the general manager of the film, so that her shares will have the same say in the company as your shares, and the three of you will be jointly responsible for the company's operations and decision-making. What do you think of this? ”

Although Liang Zijin and Li Da felt that it was still fairer to do this, they still felt a little unbalanced when they thought that the company would become Zuo Jiang's in a blink of an eye, and because of the difference of more than one million yuan, they lost their dominant position in the company, and then they regretted that they were not in a hurry to buy a house! Zuo Jiang looked at them and continued: "With our Harry Potter Group Company as your backer, it will be beneficial to the company and harmless, this 10 million votes is only the first step of the company's business, and you must look at the problem with a long-term vision." We can't just think about success. Don't want to fail the question, what if the movie fails on the outside? Do you still have the funds to keep the film company going? There's no chance of even a comeback! Think about it! ”

This question touched Liang Zijin and Li Da a lot. This is a very real problem, Zuo Jiang has the money to afford to lose. But they can't afford to lose, once the investment in this film fails, they will have nothing, and with the big tree of Zuojiang, they will have no worries!

Liang Zijin looked at Li Da, Li Da looked at Liang Zijin, and after the two sides exchanged glances, Liang Zijin said, "Okay, we agree, let's do it!" ”

Zuo Jiang suddenly thought of the wicker ditch scenic tourist area that he had just applied for, he was thinking about how to open it during this time, thinking of the film company is a move, pondered for a while and said: "Our company happens to have a tourism project, I decided to build a Tang Dynasty palace and garden style film city there, this project is completely invested by our company, and it is provided to your company for free as a shooting base, and it is built in accordance with the scene in "Tang Ming Emperor and Yang Yuhuan", I just thought about it, This movie city is called Daming Palace Cinema City! ”

Liang Zijin and Li Da were ecstatic when they heard this, if they paid for these scenes, it would be a big expense, and after Zuo Jiang provided the company with this shooting base for free, not only the set was realistic, but also greatly reduced the cost, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, it's still good to have money, say that if you build a movie city, why not do it if you have such a backer, the imbalance in my heart just now has disappeared.

Zuo Jiang looked at their expressions and knew what they were thinking, he said: "We can't just focus on movies, just set up a film and television culture exhibition company, in addition to focusing on movies and TV series now, it will also be exhibited in the cultural field in the future, so that the company's exhibition will be broader!" ”

Zuo Jiang's wonderful ideas came one after another, making Liang Zijin and Li Da surprise after surprise, and couldn't help but be excited about their decision, and nodded in agreement at the same time.

Zuo Jiang said: "I think so, the name of the company is Jiangyi Film and Television Culture Exhibition Company!" Zuo Jiang finally expressed his thoughts.

Bai Xiaoyi was very surprised when he heard it, Jiang Yi is undoubtedly composed of Zuo Jiang and the last word of his name, which shows that his position in his mind is very important!
