Chapter 296: Animation Production and Talent Mutual Assistance
Three days later.
Zhang Yang was filming and received news from Yang Yu.
Chasing Light sent a vice president to come over and talk to him personally.
After arranging to meet in a teahouse outside the film and television base, Zhang Yang arranged the affairs of the set and drove to the agreed box alone.
As soon as he pushed open the door, Zhang Yang saw a person sitting in the box.
Seeing him coming, the man hurriedly welcomed Zhang Yang into the action and said politely: "Hello, Mr. Zhang, the contemptible person is the vice president of Chasing Light Animation Film Company, Yu Lizhou." ”
Yu Lizhou stood up and handed over a business card over the tea table with both hands.
Zhang Yang glanced at it, put away the business card, sat down and said with a smile: "Hello Mr. Yu." ”
"Mr. Zhang is really young and promising."
After Yu Lizhou introduced himself, the first sentence was to sigh at his age: "There are only a handful of people in the film and television industry who are as young as Mr. Zhang." ”
"Mr. Yu is not too old."
Zhang Yang looked at the other party and smiled.
Yu Lizhou is indeed not old, he looks young on the outside, and the information on the Internet says that he is forty-three years old and has entered middle age.
But now I can see with my own eyes that the real person looks more energetic than in the photo, wearing a black suit and a tall figure.
"Compared to Mr. Zhang, he looks old."
Yu Lizhou shook his head and smiled helplessly.
Although he has known Zhang Yang's age for a long time, he has never seen it with his own eyes, but now that he has really seen it, Yu Lizhou knows that it is such a young man in his twenties who has set off a wave of fantasy films in China.
With his current age, it is very rare to sit in the current position in the industry, but he didn't expect that the publicity on the other side was even more powerful.
"It's better to be famous than to meet, Mr. Zhang is younger than I imagined."
Yu Lizhou said with emotion.
"Haha, sit down and drink tea."
Zhang Yang poured a cup of tea for the other party, then closed the door, and said with a smile: "Don't talk much about gossip, Director Yang should have said my conditions, I can invest the money, I don't know what price Chasing Light is willing to pay?" First of all, I'm not interested in the box office share of 8. ”
Speaking of business, Yu Lizhou immediately looked serious.
"When I received the news from Director Yang, the company immediately organized a meeting to re-discuss the new plan."
"For the investment in "Tongtian", if Xuanyu is willing to invest 200 million, the chasing company is willing to give up 10 of the box office revenue."
"Chasing the light is very optimistic about this movie, and the box office share of 10 will definitely not make Xuanyu's 200 million investment lose money, Mr. Zhang, what do you think?"
“10?” Zhang Yang shook his head: "I invested 200 million yuan to come in, even if I don't calculate the deductions in taxes and other aspects, the box office of "Tongtian" will not be able to return to my capital until at least 2 billion, and I can't accept this box office share." ”
"Does Mr. Zhang think that "Tongtian" can't get a box office of 2 billion?" Yu Lizhou asked rhetorically.
"You can't say that." Zhang Yang took a sip of tea and replied: "Investment is risky, and the film industry is even more so. I don't know how much I invest in movies every year, but how many can really pay off? ”
The output value of the film industry in Dragon Kingdom has become a large market of 100 billion yuan, and countless people devote themselves to movies with money every year, dreaming of making a fortune, but only a small part of them really make money from movies.
"Investment is indeed risky, but chasing the past achievements is there, and our company has cultivated a group of loyal fans.
And the company has done market research, it is estimated that the box office of "Tongtian" is far more than 2 billion, in the report, the box office estimate of chasing light for this movie is conservatively estimated at about 4 billion, or even higher, 10 The box office share has far exceeded the investment of 200 million, and Xuanyu's investment can be said to be a sure profit. ”
Yu Lizhou turned on the computer as he spoke, showing an internal report of chasing light.
There is a lot of information on it, all aspects have been considered, and a lot of market research has been done, and the final result is that the box office of "Tongtian" is estimated to be above 4 billion.
Zhang Yang just glanced at it casually, then withdrew his gaze, not caring about what was written on the report at all.
"Estimated? If the estimate can be calculated accurately, it is not called an estimate. ”
"According to Xuanyu's estimates, "Covering the Sky 3" can achieve a box office of 100 billion, does Mr. Yu believe it?"
"There is no need to put out this kind of report, I only believe in specific results, and I can't predict this kind of thing."
Seeing this, Yu Lizhou's face froze.
It is true that the estimate is only an approximate estimate, but each estimate report is based on a large amount of data to calculate the final result, and even if there is a gap, the final result is not far behind.
Unless there is a social situation that affects the whole country, it could lead to a dramatic change in the outcome.
But in the current situation, is there likely to be such a big event?
He believes that Zhang Yang, as the promoter of the current wave of fantasy films, is absolutely clear about this.
The world's film market has focused on the Dragon Country, and the domestic film output value is bound to soar this year, and the market is hot.
Zhang Yang said this now, he just wanted more.
Yu Lizhou immediately figured everything out, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "It seems that Mr. Zhang wants more." ”
"Heh~"
Zhang Yang was noncommittal, playing with the teacup in his hand, and a slight chuckle on the corner of his mouth.
Seeing him like this, Yu Lizhou was even more affirmed.
"In this case, Mr. Zhang might as well talk about your conditions, as long as it is reasonable, I can call the shots on any conditions."
"Any conditions?"
Zhang Yang glanced at him.
"Yes, any conditions!" Yu Lizhou said in a deep voice: "Before I came, the board of directors of Chasing Light had already granted me full authority to handle this negotiation, and I have the right to make a decision on any request, so please Mr. Zhang say it bluntly, what do you want?" ”
"Excellent! Since you have the right to make a decision, tell me what I think. ”
Seeing that Yu Lizhou was sitting precariously at this time, with a solemn and serious expression, Zhang Yang put down the teacup and put forward his own conditions.
"To tell you the truth, I have already investigated, and the current funding gap of "Tongtian" is only 100 million at most, and proposing 200 million is completely based on your company's consideration based on more leeway."
"Of course, 200 million is 200 million, I have no opinion, as long as Chasing Light agrees to my conditions."
Zhang Yang paused, looked at the slightly embarrassed look on Yu Lizhou's face opposite, took a sip of tea with a smile, and said slowly: "I only need 8 for the box office share of "Tongtian", but in addition, Chasing Light has to sign another contract with Xuanyu. ”
"What contract?"
Yu Lizhou hurriedly asked.
"Animation production and talent mutual aid contract." Looking at the blank look on Yu Lizhou's face opposite, Zhang Yang put down the teacup and said in a deep voice: "Within two years, Chasing Light must unconditionally help Xuanyu produce an animation at the market price, and at the same time help Xuanyu cultivate no less than 100 animation industry talents!" ”
"If chasing light is acceptable, the 200 million investment will be received immediately!"
