Chapter 294: Talking about Investment

After looking at the time, it was 930 in the evening, Yang Yu should not have rested at this time, Zhang Yang simply called him directly.

As soon as the phone was connected, Zhang Yang went straight to the point.

"I've read the script of "Tongtian", I feel good, Xuanyu can invest, how much do you want?"

In the hotel room over there, Yang Yu was already struggling with investment, but now when he heard it, he immediately came to his senses.

"How much are you going to invest in Xuanyu?"

He asked tentatively.

The movie "Tongtian" was originally expected to be between 8 and 1 billion, but in the end, only 800 million was actually taken out to shoot.

If it had been placed in the past, this money would definitely be enough to make a good CG movie.

But chasing the light is really not well thought out.

With the loneliness of Xiao Xianrou, fantasy films have been set off.

The salaries of powerful domestic actors began to rise, and the salaries of head actors greatly exceeded their expectations, and CG technology is also constantly updated.

Even because it was the first time to shoot this type of movie, there were a lot of mistakes during the shooting, detours, and a lot of money was wasted.

So in the end, after calculation, the whole movie was missing a gap of almost 200 million.

In the past, this money could be easily taken out by chasing light, but after continuous investment, the new movie failed at the box office, and now it can come up with 800 million yuan to shoot "Tongtian", which is already all idle funds plus bank mortgage.

If you take another 200 million, you can't get it out of chasing light, unless it hurts the company.

Of course, the chasing light was not happy, and in the end, he tried his best to pull another 100 million investment, but now there is still 100 million short, and he can't pull it.

The other party either focused on the shares of Chasing Light, or proposed the unacceptable proportion of the box office share of the movie, which were unwilling to give up by the top management of Chasing Light, so there was really no way.

Now that he is open and open, he is simply solving the urgent need.

"At present, the movie gap is about 200 million, I don't know if Xuanyu is willing to pay this money?"

Yang Yu thought for a few seconds and deliberately said a high price.

He was scared.

I just didn't calculate it clearly before, and in the end it was a lot worse.

Since Zhang Yang is willing to invest, he simply said a little more, so as not to have the problem of insufficient funds in the future.

"200 million? Is CG movies such a big investment? ”

Zhang Yang asked softly, his tone was a little strange, as if he had seen Yang Yu's abacus clearly.

Hearing what he said, Yang Yu's heart jumped.

Isn't that too high?

After thinking about it, Yang Yu still gritted his teeth and said: "Whether a pure CG movie can achieve a high box office, quality is very important. Only the extra funds are enough to support the follow-up filming of "Tongtian". ”

"Chasing the light has high hopes for "Tongtian", you have also read the script, you should know that if the movie is made, the quality will definitely not be bad, if you don't believe it, a small number of clips have been made so far, if you are interested, you can come and take a look."

"Oh? Already a clip? Then I'd like to see it! Zhang Yang smiled: "But I did read the script, and the strength of chasing light is also there, and investing money is not a big problem." ”

"It's just that Xuanyu wants to develop, thousands of families up and down rely on the company to eat, and every penny must be carefully calculated, I can't take the company's money and invest indiscriminately without seeing the benefits, right?

I can take the money, but I don't know what price Chasing Light is willing to pay? ”

Yang Yu's careful thinking, Zhang Yang saw it clearly.

Don't think that because he's busy filming, he doesn't know the specific situation over there.

In the past few days, he has already found someone to check, and the gap in "Tongtian" is currently 100 million, and Yang Yu is 200 million, just to leave more leeway.

However, Zhang Yang is not wronged.

1, 200 million is nothing to him, it's all small money.

It's just that there is a price of 100 million and 100 million, and 200 million has a price of 200 million, and he will never do a loss-making business.

Since Yang Yu dares to say this, it depends on what he is willing to give.

The other party's status in chasing light is not low, and in the movie "Tongtian", he definitely has a certain decision-making power in his hands.

"The price?"

Yang Yu became silent.

Why can't I get money now with my past results in chasing light?

It's because the price proposed by others is too high, and Chasing Light is unwilling to pay.

Now that Zhang Yang is saying the same, Yang Yu has a headache, what should he take out to persuade Zhang Yang to invest.

Box office share? Share? Or something else?

"What do you want?"

"It's not what I want, it's what I'm willing to pay to see the light?"

Zhang Yang asked softly.

Faced with this problem, Yang Yu had a headache.

After all, he is just a director, and he is really not very proficient in business negotiations, and now that Zhang Yang asked, he didn't bother to think about it, and directly answered the answer that had been discussed by the senior management of Chasing Light a long time ago.

"200 million in exchange for the box office of "Tongtian" movie 8, with the situation of the domestic animation film box office market and the past achievements of chasing light, I believe that after the release of this movie, I believe that it will be able to achieve a box office of at least 4 billion, Xuanyu is now investing 200 million, and it will be close to double the return when the time comes, how can this business not be lost, right?"

Yang Yu's words were full of confidence.

There are few domestic animated films, and Chinese people should be more tolerant of animated films.

In addition, in recent years, animated films have been accepted by more and more audiences, and it coincides with the current fantasy trend, coupled with the terrifying box office data of movies produced by Xuanyu, these signs are all on the surface, and the film market has risen several steps compared to before.

And "Tongtian" is both animation and fantasy, which can be said to account for both, so chasing light is very optimistic about its prospects.

“8? Too little! Zhang Yang shook his head again and again: "No one knows how much box office the movie has not been released." ”

"Although your analysis is reasonable, you must be sure that "Tongtian" will achieve a box office of 4 billion? There aren't many movies that can get this box office figure. ”

Dragon Country has a large population and a well-developed film market, but even so, there are very few films that can achieve a box office of 4 billion relative to the total amount.

Even if the market is hot now, never forget the '28 rule'.

In any group of things, the most important is only a small part of it, about 20, and the remaining 80, although the majority, is secondary, which is the law of twenty-eight.

In the film industry, the box office of 80 is taken by 20 movies, and the remaining 80 movies can only take the remaining 20 box office.

"Babel" will be that 20?

Who knows before it was released?

"So what exactly do you want? Let's just say it. ”

Yang Yu didn't bother to think about it anymore.

Negotiation is not something he is good at, it is better to be direct.

"As long as you are willing to invest, the box office share can continue to be discussed, 8 is not a fixed number. 10? 20? You say a number, I report back to the company, let others discuss, what do you think? ”
