Chapter 294: Look at who is hard
The name 'Tomorrow's Movie' is not particularly well-known in the industry.
They have indeed participated in the investment of a lot of films, and there are even some well-known works. However, firstly, they will not invest too much money, and secondly, there are no particularly heavyweight movies.
Moreover, the movies they voted for, from publicity to release, are not very likely to mention their names.
They don't need such fame either, they just need to concentrate on collecting money.
At the same time, the money they collect is not their own. A considerable part of the profits belong to the people behind them.
In other words, Wang Feixia's company is not so much a serious film investment company, but rather a white glove of some powerful people.
Of course, they don't invest in all films, and some projects that are not very bright and not very high-quality may lack funds, but for them, 'Tomorrow's Movies' can't be seen - they want stable income, not angel investors.
But "Hell Apartment 2" is different, this is obviously a high-quality project, the investment amount is small, the future return expectation is particularly high, and the probability of success is extremely high. Investing money in this project is almost a sure win, and there is a high probability of making a big profit.
The first contact will be rejected by Ye Jiayi, Wang Feixia thinks it is normal, she has encountered a lot of such situations.
Similar to 'investing' in projects like "Hell Apartment 2", "Tomorrow's Movie" has been done more than once or twice.
The vast majority of companies will not be easy to accept at the beginning, and these high-quality projects with a bright future and a promising future are not short of money, and it is not so easy to accept the investment of 'Tomorrow's Movies'.
Under the premise of being very sure of success, the leader of the project, of course, cannot give unrelated people a ticket to come in and share the profits together.
Even if there is a threat of export.
But the reason why most of those 'investments' in the past were finally completed, Wang Feixia naturally has her own way.
How to make a project successful, she doesn't know; But how to ruin a project, or make trouble for the project, disgusting people, she has a lot of methods.
For example, for "Hell Apartment 2", it is a good trick to launch your own relationship and get a card on the review.
Wang Feixia knows that with the theme of "Hell Apartment", it must not be easy for Wedo Entertainment to get a license by itself, and it took a lot of effort. And as long as the person behind him has a little more fashion strength, it should be an easy thing to make a mess of this thing.
Her ideas have also been recognized by the people behind her.
"Well, then you don't need to contact them for the time being, after they receive the news that the license has been withdrawn, they will definitely come to contact you again, and you can negotiate terms with them when the time comes."
"Okay, then I'll wait for your news."
After hanging up the phone, Wang Feixia's mood became very good.
Regarding Ye Jiayi's previous attitude, she was not so worried - it was too common.
But despite this, she was still looking forward to the expression of the woman who always had a straight face and a serious expression, who was shocked and angry after the setback of her own project, and then had to smile in front of her.
That would be a lot of fun.
She's always had such a bad taste.
……
After Ye Jiayi went back, she didn't tell Fan Zhe about it, but found Tang Zhiqi.
"Tomorrow's Movie, do you know anything about this company?"
"No, what's wrong?"
Ye Jiayi probably said the matter, and then said, "You can handle this matter, right?" ”
"I'll go back and check the situation, but in general, it's not a big problem."
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you, after all, this project is not just our company that has invested money."
"Hmm."
When the first part of "Hell Apartment" was filmed, it had 10% of the funding, which came from a mysterious company.
Although 'Dimension Entertainment' has put a lot of effort into making this project pass the review. For example, controlling the scale of the picture, for example, changing the name, and returning everything related to 'ghosts' to the name of 'demons'.
But these things, in fact, play a role, but also cooperate.
No matter how stupid you are, can people be so stupid that they can't tell the monster in the movie, whether it is a 'ghost' or a 'demon'?
Obviously, people are playing dumb.
And pretending to be stupid, of course, has a premise.
The premise of the first part is a 10% investment from that mysterious company; The premise of the second part is that 15% of the investment comes from the same company.
People are not as greedy as 'Tomorrow's Movie' and know moderation. As for the hardness, this will be compared to the 'Movie of Tomorrow', and you will know.
The matter has been handed over to Tang Zhiqi, and Ye Jiayi no longer pays attention to it, just wait for the result.
Her attention turned to two things.
One is staring at the side of 'Dimension Media', and the other is related to the overseas distribution of the TV series "Martial Arts Grandmaster".
The so-called 'Wedo Media' was formerly known as 'New Ink Media'. After being acquired by 'Dimension Entertainment', this company with domestic film distribution capabilities has been reorganized internally and is actively maintaining its work.
Their previous business situation was relatively bad, and if it weren't for that, they wouldn't have been easily acquired by Wedo Entertainment.
In the previous period, the newly listed 'Wedo Media' did not perform well.
Shi Jiangxuan, who was appointed to serve as the president of Wedo Entertainment, and Lei Xiajun, the general manager of the original 'Xinmo Media', presided over the work of 'Wedo Media'. They tried to cooperate with a number of production companies, but in the end, the films that could really be released were only four or five, and they were all small-budget films, and the final box office results were relatively average.
It seems that the bad luck that has been passed down from 'New Ink Media' is still affecting the company.
Of course, in addition to this, there may be some problems with the company itself. For example, redundant personnel, unclear responsibilities, procrastination, and so on. And these problems are also being solved one by one in the past six months, under the auspices of Shi Jiangxuan.
Some unsuitable employees were dismissed and replaced with fresh blood; Some modifications have been made to the company's system, which has subtly changed the corporate culture and brought a more vigorous and progressive working atmosphere......
This is not a day's work, but after a few days, there is still some effect.
At the same time, among the previous unsuccessful works distribution, the new 'Dimension Media' has also accumulated a lot of experience in film distribution.
And right now, the release of "Hell Apartment 2" is a tough battle to be fought.
Ye Jiayi took Shi Jiangxuan and Lei Xiajun to hold several meetings, listened to their plans and reports, and finally settled down, hoping that 'Wedo Media' could do a good job in distribution and really fight this turnaround battle.
