Chapter 418: Shareholding
September 2nd.
Zhou Yang did not go to the screening room to watch the movie "Counterattack" as netizens rumored.
Watching the movies that I have experienced adaptations will be more or less embarrassing, and there are some past events that I recall through the movie, which are more or less depressing and uncomfortable.
After going through those difficult days, go to the movie and experience it again......
Isn't that looking for something to do?
in the office.
The autumn sun is no longer hot, shining on people, but with a little warmth and comfort.
Zhou Yang sat in front of the computer and carefully looked at the previous works and movies in which the "Pioneer Special Effects" company participated.
After reading it, Zhou Yang's originally expectant gaze gradually turned into disappointment, and after the disappointment, he finally began to fall into doubts again.
Zheng He's "pioneers" did participate in the production of many films in China, but it is unbelievable that there are few of these movies that make money......
is either a bad movie, or it was painted within a few days of release, or it is a half-literate literary film, the only money-making movie, but a small-budget cartoon.
"Five-cent special effects", "This special effect is really embarrassing", "Is this for children?" ”
There are countless remarks on these networks.
If Zhou Yang handed over "Spider-Man" to such a team to produce, the movie would be finished.
After watching the movie of the "Pioneer" company, Zhou Yang made a phone call to Li Qiang, explained the reason to Li Qiang, and hoped that Li Qiang would introduce some special effects companies of domestic films to see.
Li Qiang on the other end of the phone was a little silent, but he still nodded in agreement.
"Mr. Zhou, should some domestic special effects companies outsourced to "Hollywood" also be considered? ”
"Hmm!"
"However, the price is relatively expensive, and Hollywood has a clear rule that unless they give up that market or terminate outsourcing cooperation, they are not allowed to take private orders, let alone reduce prices......
"I see."
On the phone, Li Qiang once again briefly introduced the current situation of Huaxia Special Effects Company.
After listening to it, Zhou Yang couldn't help but feel a little inexplicably depressed in his heart.
Huaxia special effects is in an unspeakable predicament, and Hollywood is not only suppressing local Chinese companies, but also restricting the development of those excellent outsourcing companies.
It's all blocked!
In order to live, or to survive, they are helpless.
Although it is very sad, but more helpless, the current Huaxia is not as good as Lao Mei in all aspects, not only on the movie side, but also on other sides, it seems to be behind the vigorous development, but all aspects are constrained by it, so that it can't move, and can't even breathe.
"Unless there is a world-class hit work in the true sense, and it is Huaxia's own special effects company, which boosts the confidence of the entire film industry, it will be difficult to break through the restrictions......"
Depending on the height of the station, the direction of thinking is naturally different.
Zhou Yang remembered the books he had read before, such as "Capital", "Business War", and "Mr. Gates".
Vaguely, he felt that he was standing at a point, and although he didn't look like a gambler, he was also gambling on something.
"Spider-Man" is no shortage of investment at the moment.
The fans of Yang Village jointly invested nearly 200 million yuan in "Spider-Man".
Although Zhou Yang is very confident in "Spider-Man", 200 million yuan still allows Zhou Yang's Huaxing Company not to have so much pressure.
With his head down, Zhou Yang thought about the future of the company and thought a little intently......
Until there was a knock on the door outside the office.
"Come in!"
"Mr. Zhou, can you see our works again? I need a chance, believe me, I only lack a chance, we're not bad in ourselves! It took our company two days to make a short film for a few seconds......"
The person who came was Zheng He.
is the boss of the "pioneer", at this moment his hair is more unkempt than before, and he is also very haggard, but his eyes are full of heat, and he constantly babbles a lot in front of Zhou Yang, like an unlucky guy who is drowning and desperately trying to grab a life-saving straw.
Zhou Yang looked at his young age, and after almost half of his hair was gray, he smiled at him and signaled him not to worry: "Sit down first, I'll take a look, give me the USB flash drive." ”
"Good!"
Zhou Yang took the USB flash drive, plugged him into the computer, and then clicked on the "special effects" file in the USB flash drive.
The picture slowly unfolds, and the content of the special effects is a picture of a person falling from the tenth floor......
After Zhou Yang looked at the falling figure, the upside-down window, and the scenery along the way, the expression on his face began to become serious.
It's obvious that it's almost a radical improvement from the movies I've seen before......
But it's a pity that it didn't meet the requirements in Zhou Yang's heart, and the whole special effect still has a sense of disobedience.
"Yes, there is progress, but it still doesn't work......"
Zhou Yang pulled out the USB flash drive and looked at Zheng He, who had a look of hope, with a little regret on his face.
Zheng He was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned red, as if he was very angry, but then he smiled bitterly: "We don't have equipment, special effects, they are changing every year, and they are different from year to year...... If we had the equipment and enough time, we would definitely not be worse than Hollywood, I swear! ”
Zhou Yang was silent.
The movie "Spider-Man" is so important, and the special effects are especially important......
Zheng He, who swore by himself, turned pale after seeing Zhou Yang's silence, and finally lowered his head.
Although there were many grievances and unwillingness, I finally accepted the reality.
"Can you give me a chance?"
Accept the reality, but he still refuses to leave.
He left, the company was gone, and his life was almost gone.
Zhou Yang still didn't answer him, but turned his head and looked at his eyes seriously.
Zheng He did not have a weak heart, and looked at Zhou Yang, but the sense of disappointment in his heart became stronger and stronger.
If the two sides were to swap identities, he would probably choose to do the same, which is normal, isn't it?
"How much does the equipment cost?"
"What?"
"How much does the equipment cost...... I thought about it just now, let's take a gamble, I'll take a stake in your company......"
“……”
Zheng He looked at Zhou Yang in a daze, and he didn't recover for a long time.
Then, he suddenly became extremely surprised, so excited that his whole body was trembling, and he nodded desperately.
Then, under Zhou Yang's stunned and shocked gaze, he took out a very detailed document.
Zhou Yang took the document and found that this document was a very detailed balance sheet and debt statement of the "pioneer", in addition, there was also the company's structure, the members of the company, and even, even the equity transfer agreement and contract, he had prepared!
"Mr. Zheng, I will now introduce the details of our company in detail, and I guarantee that every word I say is not false!"
Looking at Zheng He, who was babbling about data, Zhou Yang realized that this guy had already thought about everything, and was even ready to be acquired by himself?
"That's what you thought of when you came in?" Zhou Yang interrupted Zheng He's introduction and said subconsciously.
"Every time I see a client, I take this document with me, and this time, I think it's highly likely that you'll buy my "Trailblazer" ......"
"Why?"
"Because my experience is very similar to Mr. Zhou, and Mr. Zhou, you are very aware of our current situation, your "Spider-Man" is still going to be filmed in the opposition of other people, even if your "Infernal Affairs" does not make a penny, it will also be hard steel "Superman 2", I know that you have ordinary people, those capitalists do not have the ambition and mind at all, although my company is in debt, I am confident that I am a local special effects company in China, and the best one among the special effects companies that do not accept overseas outsourcing, and!"
"And what?"
"And I will do my best to do a good job in the project of "Spider-Man", although I am not as good as you, but I think I also have talent, and I also have the aesthetics of film art, and I also have the reason why I took those bad movies before, I just wanted to live, but I didn't expect that none of those bad movies could survive, and I still owe me special effects fees......"
Zheng He was still very excited when he spoke.
He's confident!
Even in the midst of despair, he is still very confident!
This kind of self-confidence is very contagious, and when he said what was in his heart, Zhou Yang actually began to admire this person.
Half an hour later......
Zhou Yang watched Zheng He leave the company and looked in his direction for a long time.
Don't know why......
He felt that there was a strong light emanating from this person, which made Zhou Yang more confident in the project of "Spider-Man".
After a long time, Zhou Yang withdrew his gaze.
He put the script for Spider-Man on the table and pulled out his phone.
He had to plan the filming of the film and contact some people.
The filming location of this movie is in Lao Mei, so naturally it is inevitable to invite a lot of actors from Lao Mei, so he has to contact Christian.
When you're ready to make a call......
The phone rang instead.
"Mr. Zhou Yang, after careful consideration, in order to support the Chinese special effects blockbuster, I Wanda can invest 100 million yuan...... It's not a VAM agreement, it's just an investment! ”
“……”
"Mr. Zhou Yang, I just thought about it carefully, "Spider-Man" is indeed a very amazing movie, and we hope to invest 100 million yuan to adventure with "Spider-Man" ......"
“……”
Those capitals that once rejected Zhou Yang.
actually began to call him one by one, hoping to invest in "Spider-Man".
Zhou Yang responded to these capitals one by one.
Refusal, of course.
"Spider-Man" doesn't need any investment anymore.
After the capitalists heard the refusal, they were naturally reluctant to give up, expressed their apologies, and hoped that Zhou Yang could think about it and say that he was sincere.
Zhou Yang still politely refused.
I answered the phone for more than half an hour......
Zhou Yang stood up and touched his swollen shoulder, feeling quite ironic for a while.
"Knock knock."
"Come in ......"
"Mr. An? What's wrong with your eyes? ”
The office door opened again.
Zhou Yang saw a person who made him unbelievable.
An Xiao.
He looked blankly at An Xiao, whose face was cold, but his eyes were red, as if he had just cried, and he was stunned.
