Chapter 1053: Dream Hatching
Everyone visited all the way to Wei Jixun's office, which was located on the highest building in the courtyard. At this time, there were not many people traveling with him, and the eldest brother finally mentioned the matter of participating in the shares.
Gao Xue didn't answer right away, he looked out of the floor-to-ceiling window and examined his surroundings again. The morning sun shone obliquely through the complex, and a large shadow appeared on a low building, and it was the tall building below that blocked the sunlight.
Wei Jixun spoke again, and Gao Xu could only withdraw his gaze, look at him, and make a look of listening carefully.
"Originally, after the budget, our cooperation method was paid by Brother Liu and other investors to invest in the animation studio as the production cost. I'll be honest, there are already profits from the factory in the budget. In addition, when it comes to the distribution of income, the animation factory, as the producer, also has a proportional share. Wei Jixun said, "If Brother Liu becomes a shareholder, the factory's various profits will be shared, and it is not limited to the films invested by Brother Liu himself." ”
Gao Xu listened patiently, only occasionally answering with an "um", without interrupting Wei Jixun.
Then Wei Jixun began to talk about how to finance the operation of expanding the scale. Although Gao Xu doesn't know much about the specifics, he probably understands the principle. For example, he now has 300 million yuan in cash, and he can theoretically do a business of 3 billion yuan.
Wei Jixun also talked about ways to avoid changes in investment profits and losses becoming "elevators". Gao Xu's first animation is very likely to have ups and downs, because he only invested in one animation; Profits can reach several times, and failure can cost most of the cost.
"Hmm......" Gao Xu nodded in response, "Brother Wei has a point. ”
However, Gao Xu has his own situation and his judgment. He felt that this industry in Mingguo did not seem to be easy to do, and the competition was fierce. Judging from the animations and films that have made money recently, they are all some high-cost and sophisticated productions. The reason why Gao Xu was able to win last time was that he took a shortcut in innovation and formed an asymmetrical competition, which has a lot to do with it. Once the things he remembers dries up, he may continue to lose money and bleed in the industry.
After thinking for a while, Gao Xu said, "Brother Wei's opinion has benefited me a lot. I'll think again. ”
Wei Jixun nodded after hearing this.
Gao Xu turned his head to look at Wang Siqi, "Can the film studio shoot dramas?" ”
Wang Siqi subconsciously frowned, "The equipment for photography is different, but in Shengying Film Studio, there are all the equipment for filming dramas." Directors, actors, and technical processing personnel are mostly also able to do anything. Either way, as long as there's money to invest, that's not a problem. The two genres (film and gathering) have different emphases to reflect the effect, but the most different place is the revenue channel. People who can make movies to make money, no one will make dramas, and the return of funds is slower. ”
Gao Xu listened for a while, and said directly: "In other words, our 'Shengying Film Studio' can make dramas." ”
Wang Siqi said: "Yes." However, I still want to suggest to Mr. Liu that animation and movies have something in common in terms of channels, and Mr. Liu might as well invest directly in movies and get money from the box office faster. ”
"Hmm......" Gao Xu made a voice, and then added, "Next time, I will introduce a drama director, and I will meet." ”
Wang Siqi said helplessly: "Okay, I'll help Mr. Liu arrange this matter." ”
Gao Xu turned to look at Wei Jixun and asked with a smile, "I want to register a studio first, rent a room with you, and make an office, Brother Wei agrees, right?" ”
Wei Jixun was stunned for a moment, and only reacted after a while, and said happily: "Of course, you pick a floor for this building." What else do you want to rent, just move in and use it. ”
Gao Xu said: "If you want to rent, we will each send someone to go through the formalities when the time comes." One yard is one yard, which is simpler and clearer. ”
Wei Jixun smiled: "Okay, listen to you." ”
Wei Jixun spent so much time lobbying Gao Xu just now, and after listening to Gao Xu patiently, he had already grasped the point: Wei Jixun just wanted to continue long-term cooperation with Gao Xu.
Although the Wei family is currently a bit in the middle of the road, the capital chain of these two film companies should not be a big problem for the time being. Wei Jixun pulled Gao Xu into the gang, there is not much direct benefit, after all, this kind of thing is a shareholding, how much money is paid, and how much profit is shared.
However, Gao Xu entered the market with the experience of successfully making money, and the upper animation turned the manufacturer into a profit in one fell swoop. Therefore, Wei Jixun seems to just want to continue to cooperate and share success.
Now Gao Xu did not agree to buy shares, but took the initiative to put the studio in this courtyard, so that the same effect could be achieved. Gao Xu can't build his studio in this factory, but he cooperates with an outside production company, right?
Both of them laughed, and Gao Xu said in his heart: Tell me such a complex process, I am still good at simplifying complex problems.
He smiled: "I have also thought of the name of the studio, it will be called the 'Dream Incubation' studio." ”
Miaojin's voice said, "You still like to choose names." ”
"When you say that, it seems to be true." Gao Xue said.
Approaching noon, Wei Jixun, who was in a good mood, wanted to invite Gao Xu to his home for lunch. Gao Xu did not refuse, followed Miaojin and Wei Jixun out of the courtyard and drove to Wei's house.
He took out three gifts from the trunk, sedge paintings brought back from Egypt. Many tourists buy fakes in the local area, but these pairs of Gao Xu are bought in traditional old shops and are handmade.
Of course, compared with this souvenir, Wei Chenghua is obviously more interested in Gao Xu's other "gift". This reminded Gao Xu of a long time ago, a friend in the city told him that he actually didn't like people in his hometown to send souvenirs, and it was more exciting to send money.
So after the meal, Gao Xu mentioned his plans for the near future, preparing to make an animation and an episode.
A few people went to the study to chat, and after a while, a young girl brought tea and water. But now these girls are different from the maids in the past, their service is just a kind of work, and there can be no longer any personal dependency.
Gao Xu sat next to Wei Chenghua and said eloquently: "The funder and producer of animation, I want Wei Lao to do it." I will also invest 50 million yuan in the name of the 'Dream Incubation' studio. Because of the last market experience, I am very confident in the profit probability of this animation. Of course, you also have to listen to what Wei Lao means. ”
Wei Chenghua immediately nodded in agreement. Then this time the discussion, Gao Xu didn't even make a script. Wei Lao is still like that, he only trusts the people he trusts, and doesn't care about the product itself.
Gao Xu continued: "The planned episodes are a bit risky. Because I have no experience, and there are more human factors such as actors, it is very likely to lose money. I'm not here to make money, I'm just going to make a trip. The producer is still handed over to the Wei family, and I will fund and pull some investment from the outside. ”
Wei Chenghua listened, and suddenly said: "What does Xiao Liu mean, do you want us to make a profit or not?" ”
His eldest son and daughter Miaojin all looked sideways at Gao Xu.
Gao Xu smiled, but gradually felt a little embarrassed.
The power of the Wei family is not as simple as Wei Chenghua's family. Gao Xu was already fully aware that he was not an emperor anymore, and even his background was not very good, and running under the big tree sometimes saved a lot of trouble. For example, the last time he was looking for a way, Gao Xu relied on the Wei family.
However, the most important thing is that the 50 million yuan from Miaojin's loan last time essentially came from the Wei family; Without that large sum of money, Gao Xu would not have been able to do anything.
At that time, when the host Wei Zhongming was entertained, Gao Xu said very good things, but the good words were not all lies. Under normal circumstances, he would not tell a lie that was completely against his will, at most he would just add a little embellishment.
Only by reciprocating the peach can the relationship be long-lasting. Gao Xu does have the meaning of return this time, since he wants to repay, of course, he has to have something substantial: interests.
Miaojin seemed to have seen Gao Xu's manipulation clearly, and her eyes also revealed a clear meaning. Gao Xu looked at her calmly, as if reminding her of what he had said: You are you, and the Wei family is the Wei family.
She has always been a bit of a reclusive, but Gao Xu has always been in the world, and he is often bored with those things in the world, and just finds it useful. Maybe in this life, Miao Jin doesn't need Gao Xu's protection very much, but at some point, she may need a layman like Gao Xu.
Gao Xu pondered for a moment and said: "Wei Lao said seriously, investment is risky, it is nothing more than the difference between high and low risk, how can you make money without losing money?" And this planned drama is really risky, I just don't want to recommend inferior investments to Wei Lao, isn't that a pit for you? ”
Wei Chenghua looked at Gao Xu, as if he didn't know him, then pointed at Gao Xu, turned around and said, "Your uncle said that Xiao Liu has knowledge, I think what is more important is that he has a good character and is kind." ”
Gao Xu hurriedly said: "The younger generation can't afford to praise. ”
Miaojin also looked at him with a smile.
Wei Chenghua patted the coffee table lightly and said, "I want to invest in both projects, I believe in Xiao Liu's vision." ”
Gao Xu restrained his smile and calmly reminded, "The drama will really have a high probability of losing money, I am not very ambitious, sometimes it is just interest." ”
"It's fine." Wei Chenghua smiled and waved his hand generously.
Gao Xu thought about it and felt that there was no need to be too deliberate in showing goodwill, so he said, "Then Wei Lao can invest 10 million." The main free funds, I suggest that Wei Lao invest in animation projects. In the next animation, I plan to take advantage of the victory and chase after it, and make something similar to the style, which should still be profitable. ”
Wei Chenghua stretched out his hand and said, "That's it." ”
Gao Xu reached out to hold Wei Chenghua's somewhat withered hand, and the two reached an agreement directly verbally.
The old man left the study after a while, and then Wei Jixun accompanied Gao Xu and took him to visit this retro courtyard. I didn't see Miaojin's second brother today, and I heard that he was still in Beijing. Taicang and Jingshi were the economic and political centers of the Ming Kingdom, respectively, and the people of these big families generally had industries in the two places.
Wei Jixun only met Gao Xu in person today, and the two got along well.
However, Gao Xu thought that if he hadn't been emperor before, or hadn't become an equal propertied person now, in either case, he might not be able to get along with Wei Jixun.
