052.Dream Pictures
It was supposed to cost 600,000 yuan to rent, but it only cost 300,000 dollars, and it also caused Mr. Henry Miller a headache.
"Ayan, I really doubt that you are a magician? How did you do that? ”
"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that I did a little more homework when I met this Henry boss." Yi Feiyang said with a smile.
"But where did you get all that information?"
"Bought! I bought it from the bank and it cost almost $30,000. ”
"Great praise, I spent 30,000 US dollars, but I saved you 300,000 yuan! The main thing is that I wasn't pitted by the old fox! "Master Camel is very good at settling accounts in this regard.
Yi Feiyang couldn't help but laugh, thinking of the lion of Gusta, who really refused to let go of any minced meat, and refused to do even a favor of 30,000 US dollars.
In fact, for a businessman like Gusta, Yi Feiyang can only admire. Because this kind of talent is a person who really does big things, and he will not take every penny lightly.
In their eyes, capital is accumulated penny by penny. The truth that adds up to a lot is an eternal truth. When you have one penny more than others, you are the master of that penny.
"Although I took advantage of it, I am really penniless now," Yi Feiyang said, "I bought the factory, but it needs to be renovated, the first floor is going to be used as an office, the second floor is used as a conference room and a projection room, and the third floor is used as a copy factory...... But these all need money, and the damn $24 million bonus will not be cashed out! ”
Seeing that Yi Feiyang had a headache in front of him, Master Hump smiled, "With me here, what are you worried about?" My old man doesn't have much, but there are already some coffins, plus the 400,000 you gave me, use it, you can wait for you to have the money and then pay it back to me! ”
"But Master Camel, is this okay?" Yi Feiyang's eyes lit up, he really didn't expect Master Camel to be so righteous.
"Why not, unless you don't see me as a partner...... Hehe, my old man is still waiting for you, a fortune boy, to take care of me and make money! The camel master smiled happily.
Originally, I thought that I had found a factory and helped Yi Feiyang, but I didn't expect to almost pit others. The camel master, who is very righteous in the rivers and lakes, has a faint feeling of guilt in his heart, and now he can help Yi Feiyang a little bit, and he should make up for it.
Besides, Yi Feiyang treats him as a partner, if he still guards the coffin, how can he expect others to take care of him and give him benefits in the future? !
The camel master is a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, is familiar with the world, and has contacts and contacts, which is also done well.
"Master Huo, since your old man has spoken, it is not appropriate for me to refuse, but there is one thing I have to ask clearly...... It's not loan sharking, is it? ”
The camel master was stunned.
"You're taller!" What kind of person do you think Lao Tzu is? I just want to fight for righteousness once, and I don't want any interest! ”
……
It was 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
In the office of Henry Miller's boss, Yi Feiyang, as the leaser, signed his name on the document of the lease contract under the guidance of his personal lawyer, Louis Carr.
"Yes, it's okay to sign here, well, the specific content agreement is similar to the one I made for you before, and Mr. Henry Miller also respects your opinion......" Carl explained the process of signing the contract to Yi Feiyang very carefully.
Henry Miller's boss had an ugly face, as if his parents had just died, and he didn't have the slightest smile. Next to him, the guy who was his personal lawyer had to comfort him with words, roughly to wait a little while to drink a good bottle of red wine and forget about the damn thing.
"Well, Mr. Henry, I am very pleased with our cooperation, and I hope that the next time we meet, we will invite you to a drink...... I just heard that you like the red wine of Bordeaux in France! Yi Feiyang smiled and extended a hand of "friendship" to Mr. Henry.
Boss Henry hated it, but he had to squeeze out a smile from the face of his dead parents, and said, "It's really fate to meet you!" Looks like I'm going to say a good greeting to God Mother and God! ”
"Oh, I wish God his mother would agree to your short and concise greeting!" Yi Feiyang shook hands with him with a smile, "Okay, I'm leaving, you don't have to send it!" We have a saying in China, there will be a farewell to you for a thousand miles, see you again, Mr. Henry Miller! ”
After Yi Feiyang said this, he joined hands with the little lawyer Louis Carr and went straight out of Henry's boss's office.
Behind him, a roar, "Die, bastard~bastard!" Damn the Chinese guys! Damn God! ”
There was a snap, and it seemed that the cup had been shattered on the ground.
……
Step out of Mr. Henry Miller's company and look at the sun shining at three o'clock in the afternoon.
The sun shone on the surrounding high-rise buildings that were inserted into the cloud peaks, Yi Feiyang blocked the dazzling sunlight with his hand, and then said to Carl, "Thank you for helping me, Carl." In the future, there will be more such things, and then it will be even more troublesome for you! ”
"Dear Yi, since I decided to follow you, I have a choice, and I will serve you and your company wholeheartedly in the future! Of course, it's not just for you, it's for myself! Carl smiled, "Do you know how to go, I'm gambling, betting on the future, but you are the dark horse of Hollywood that I am optimistic about, so no matter how many difficulties and ups and downs there are ahead, you must overcome it, and I will work hard to support you behind it!" ”
Yi Feiyang's heart warmed up by Carl's sincere words, "I will remember your words, Carl, when one day I stand on the top of Hollywood, I promise you that I will let you accompany me to watch the most dazzling sun!" Standing on the pinnacle......"
……
October 7, 1998, at 4:30 p.m.
13 Chinatown.
Three-building factory.
Inside the empty factory, empty rooms. Dilapidated rooms, unpainted walls, dusty floors, and cobwebs everywhere in the corners......
"Look, this is our upcoming studio!" Yi Feiyang led the fat man Gao Jiabao, Rabbit Bill and a group of people, and said while visiting.
"Don't look at this building is quite dilapidated now, it will be very luxurious to decorate it in the future...... For now, please ignore the filthy floor, the dilapidated doors, and the abominable cobwebs...... Try to use your imagination, yes, imagination, think about what the future will be like here? Yi Feiyang said in a hypnotic-like tone.
"First of all, the floor you see is also the first floor of the whole building. I'm going to decorate this place into an office area, with high-quality Italian marble floor tiles covering the floor, smooth and bright, like an ice rink full of mercury, so that you can't even stand on your feet; The walls and roof are painted olive, which is the most pleasing and eye-friendly; As for the walls, there are all kinds of beautiful movie posters, of course, these movies will be the classics of our company's own shooting; And here, yes, this is it, I will set up the company's film showcase, and all the trophies and honors you have won in the future will be displayed here......"
"On the second floor is the company's meeting area, complete with comfortable seating, sound equipment, and soft Persian hand-stitched rug...... Here I will set up a large conference room, screening room, leisure area and gym, etc., everyone can work out and rest in it when you are tired, drink coffee and listen to songs, if possible, I will also hire top masseurs to do physical massage therapy for everyone, you must know that you will get cervical spondylosis if you sit and work for a long time, hehe. In short, this is your paradise of rest, and my slogan is: combine work and rest every day, and live happily every year. ”
"The third layer is the copy factory, each of our films will be made by ourselves, the quantity and quality of copies must be guaranteed, after all, we are not a leather bag company, we want to create our own golden brand, we must not lose big because of small. As for the equipment and personnel to be copied, they will be the best and the best, because I will treat every member of our family equally. It can be said that here, in the United States, I have no relatives except you! So I will treat you like my relatives, and I hope you can join hands with me and fight together! ”
"Well, I'm getting dry too...... The above is my general design for our company, and the specific decoration and other issues will not be implemented until the funds are in place...... What are your opinions on this? ”
"Do I have an opinion?" The fat man Gao Jiabao first raised his hand and said, "I want to know what I do in the company?" ”
Yi Feiyang smiled, "Of course it's your specialty, in charge of finances!" ”
"Oh yes!" The fat man jumped up, "I just know you're a buddy, I like to count bills the most!" ”
But before the fat man was happy, Yi Feiyang said again: "But there are no bills for you to count now, on the contrary, there are still a few bills that you need to communicate with Master Camel to see if he can squeeze out a little more money to order the tables, chairs and benches here......"
"What? Negotiate with that loan shark iron rooster?! The fat man directly mudded, and then said very seriously: "Can I apply for resignation?" ”
……
"What about us, dear boss, what are we doing?" Bill the Rabbit and Jack the Fat laughed.
"Don't worry, you'll all have suitable positions, such as Bill Rabbit, you have a good set of shooting and production, and you will be the head of the production department in the future; Fat Jack, you are very sociable, and in the future I will leave you a good position between the distribution department and the publicity department......"
"In short, although you are all light pole commanders now, you have to believe in me, believe in yourself, in the future, this place will be luxuriously decorated, our company will definitely be popular, and you will be able to soar into the sky!"
The big guy was instigated by Yi Feiyang's words, and he had long forgotten where he was, and he was full of pride in his heart.
"yes, we'll make it! Definitely! ”
"Yawn! Damn dust! ”
……
There are many big brands in Hollywood, such as the old MGM, Paramount, Disney, and the rising stars DreamWorks and Lionsgate......
It can be said that in the future, the brand value of these film companies is equivalent to that of Coca-Cola and Microsoft, and they have great power.
It can be seen that if you want to start a film company, you must come up with an appropriate company name so that it is catchy and intimidating.
The camel master belongs to that old tradition, as the saying goes, one life, two luck, three feng shui, four accumulation of yin virtue, five reading, six seven phases and eight gods......
Master Camel believes in feng shui and names, and immediately found a fortune teller in Chinatown to name the soon-to-be-established company.
The fortune teller wore sunglasses, looked like a blind man, pinched his fingers, and lifted the pen, and then what five elements gossip, opened the direction of the earth, worked for most of the day to make three names, handed them to the camel master and said, "Take these three, the meaning is good, and it will be auspicious!" ”
The camel master handed over the name he asked for to Yi Feiyang, Yi Feiyang looked at it, the first name was "more developed than developed", a very straightforward meaning, which made Yi Feiyang wonder if the fortune-telling skills of this old blind man were street-level, and he had not yet departed from the original ecology.
The second name is "Shenzhou", which made Yi Feiyang startled, thanks to the fact that there is no "No. 1" and "No. 2" behind it, otherwise how will the spacecraft be mixed up in the future.
The last name is "Panlong", and Yi Feiyang's head immediately crashed...... I highly doubt that this old blind man is wearing it?!
Yi Feiyang was not very satisfied with the three names chosen by the fortune teller, which made the camel master very frustrated, as for the fat man Gao Jiabao, Rabbit Bill and others offered advice.
The fat man Gao Jiabao said: "It's better to name it 'Hongfu' Pictures, Hongfu Qitian, how beautiful it sounds." ”
Another fat man, Jack, said: "I thought about it, it must be very shit and bloody, very close to God, so the name is OMG!" ”
"What do you mean?"
"Oh, buy high!"
……
Rabbit Bill shook his head, "No, you're not right. What is the way of the world now? It's the world of competition! I think that our film company needs to be different, special, and attractive, so the name should be 'Beauty Nest'......"
The essence of someone's not being able to get away from the essence of making!
Yi Feiyang felt very bitter, what kind of birdmen are these? Even choosing a name for the company is so complicated.
After the worst, Yi Feiyang had to stand up and announce: "Okay, don't fight, in my opinion, the movie is this dream, a tragicomedy like a dream, then our company that makes dreams is called 'Dream Pictures'!" ”
"Dream Pictures? Sounds pretty good. ”
"yes, it's artistic!"
……
"It's a good name, I like it!"
"Boss Wise!"
"Boss Shenwu!"
"The boss is talented!"
"Death to Shakespeare!"
……
Sycophants.
Now that the name of the company has been determined, the next step is to determine the company's brand logo and the factory logo of the opening scene.
For example, MGM, which is a roaring lion sticking out of a circle; 21st Century Fox, which has a 20th-century logo on the roof; There is also Paramount, a snow-capped mountain with a peak...... The goddess holding the torch, the child fishing on the moon, the skull through the crack in the door, etc., it can be said that the logo of each factory is strange, but there is a common feature, that is, it is still fresh and difficult to forget.
Nowadays, Dream Pictures also needs such a distinctive signboard to attract the audience, so that the audience can remember the company "Dream Pictures" after watching it.
In order to achieve this goal, everyone began to brainstorm, and finally came up with a creative idea after a "brainstorming" that was sharper than "brainstorming".
It's a pity that because Yi Feiyang's "computer special effects skills are limited", he can only hand over the creativity to a newly established computer special effects company in Hollywood, "Thunder and Lightning Special Effects", to make it himself, and tell him to produce it as quickly as possible.
The other party replied, give enough money, and the speed can fly!
As a result, the factory logo came out after only one day.
DV Shooting ......
The first shot: the coconut breeze is gentle, the blue ocean is endless.
In the second shot, from static to moving, a beautiful fishtail suddenly emerges from the sea, slapping the surface of the sea, and conjuring up countless colorful bubbles......
The third shot: the bubbles rise, and a mermaid jumps out of the sea, hooking its tail, turning into a curvy mermaid logo, with two big letters below: DM, the abbreviation of dream.
Looking at the "mermaid" logo created by the big guy, Yi Feiyang couldn't help but be stunned, beautiful, dreamy, isn't this exactly what he needs?
Look, in ten years at the latest, I'm going to make my mermaid shoulder to shoulder with the lion of MGM and the snow-capped mountains of Paramount!
Just when someone swore and was proud of his company's bright and beautiful factory logo, a fat man clenched his fists very hard, "Damn the factory logo, it cost 6,000 US dollars!" Woo, it's time to hit the white strip again! ”
