Chapter 320: Negotiations are finalized

"Thirty million?!"

Jia Ling looked at Li Chuan with a look of surprise on her face.

"What's wrong?"

Li Chuan was a little strange.

"I saw a lot of people on the Internet saying that you are very rich and can earn tens of billions of dollars a year, I thought it was spread by netizens......"

"It's not that exaggerated."

Li Chuan knew what Jia Ling wanted to say, and hurriedly interrupted: "That's really a blind rumor from netizens, I did make some money from live broadcasting, but not so much." ”

"You can take out 30 million in one breath, which is not much."

"This ...... I can take it out, but it's not easy. ”

Li Chuan also did not tell the truth this time.

With his current earning ability and speed, as long as there are no accidents, he can earn three or four billion a year, and if you add the company's profits, it will be four billion or more...... Therefore, netizens said that he can earn tens of billions of dollars a year, which is indeed true.

Moreover, with his current economic situation, whether it is a company or an individual, it is really easy and stress-free to come up with 30 million.

However, he could not say such things, let alone spread them.

If the majority of netizens know that he can earn so much money in a year and have so much cash in his hand, the consequences will be very serious.

"Oh."

Jia Ling believed his statement and asked, "Then why did you vote so much?" ”

"This ......"

Li Chuan scratched his head.

'Is thirty million a lot?' ’

'I think it's missing!' ’

Li Chuan was secretly worried in his heart, but he still didn't say it.

His brain was running fast for a moment, and then he said, "Sister Ling, I mainly believe in you...... When I was still in school, I often watched your sketches and shows, and I liked it very much, and I really felt that if you made a movie of your own, you would definitely be able to achieve very good results, so when I heard that you were going to make a movie, I came to the door as soon as possible...... Now, after reading the script, I am even more convinced of this...... Although 30 million is a lot, I believe in you, if you can make money by investing this money, you won't say first, but at least you won't lose it, which is enough for me. ”

"Thank you."

Jia Ling was quite moved: "I am indeed confident that you will not lose money, but if you are under too much pressure, you can invest a little less, and we can still find some external funding channels." ”

"No!"

Li Chuan decisively refused: "I think this is a good opportunity to make money, I will eat as much as I want, and I don't want to miss a bite." ”

"You're exaggerating."

Jia Ling's face was puzzled: "Although I am confident that I will not let you lose money, but investment is always risky, and if there is an accident in the future, you will ...... this money."

"I know."

Li Chuan nodded and said, "But I've already decided...... I believe in you very much, and I am willing to gamble with you, it doesn't matter if you lose the bet, 30 million is not my entire net worth, without this money, I will not be particularly affected, you can rest assured. ”

"That'...... All right. ”

Jia Ling nodded helplessly.

Actually, from her standpoint, she shouldn't say this.

Someone is willing to invest in her, and is willing to give her all the money in one go, which is a good thing for her, at least she doesn't have to run around to pull investment in the future.

A good thing, why would she refuse?

The reason why she refused was because she was moved by the trust expressed by Li Chuan's words and actions just now.

Women are usually more emotional.

As soon as she was moved, she instinctively thought about Li Chuan.

In her opinion, Li Chuan can invest, but the amount of investment does not need to be so large, because a large investment means a high risk...... If the movie loses money in the future, Li Chuan will lose 30 million at once, and she can't help it.

Therefore, she wanted to persuade Li Chuan to invest less and try to reduce some risks.

However, Li Chuan's attitude was very resolute, and she couldn't persuade her at all.

Right now, the words have been said and done, and she has no choice but to nod and accept.

However, accepting and accepting, she was also a little uneasy in her heart.

The main Li Chuan's trust in her is too strong, and even a little blind, which makes her feel ashamed.

She frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Do you have any other conditions?" ”

"Other conditions?"

Li Chuan asked with some confusion: "...... do you mean?" ”

"If you want to act, or arrange for a different actor......"

"No, no, no."

Li Chuan hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I just want to support you by investing in you, and then do financial planning by the way, without these messy ideas and requirements." ”

"It's okay, if you have a request, just say it, I will look at the situation here, and if I can arrange it, I will try to help you arrange it."

"I really don't need to."

Li Chuan waved his hand again and refused: "I really don't have this idea...... Sister Ling, you just shoot according to your own ideas, don't think too much, I fully support you. ”

"I'm a little uneasy about you." Jia Ling said with a tangled face.

"What's not to worry about."

Li Chuan shook his head with a wry smile and said, "If you don't feel at ease, let's write the clause directly into the contract." ”

"This ...... Not so good. ”

Jia Ling's face was embarrassed: "You invested 30 million in one go, this money comes in, you are the biggest producer, it stands to reason that you can be the main control." ”

The so-called "master control" is the main controller of the movie.

Usually, the main controller of a movie is the first producer of the film.

If Li Chuan succeeds in investing and becomes the largest producer of "Hello, Li Huanying", it stands to reason that he should be automatically upgraded to the main controller of the movie.

However, there are exceptions to everything.

There are too many responsibilities for the prosecution...... The initial project review, pre-production, post-publicity and distribution of the film must be undertaken by the main prosecution.

Li Chuan has no work experience in film and television, and he has no relevant resources, he can't do these jobs at all, so although he can become the largest producer of the movie, the position of the main controller must not be done, so he can only let it out.

To whom?

Of course, those film and television companies with resources and experience.

Referring to the movie "Hello, Li Huanying" alone, the main controller should be BJ Culture.

Why?

First of all, BJ Culture is a professional film and television company with the resources and experience, they know what to do and have the ability to do it.

Secondly, Jia Ling first found BJ culture...... The initial project review and follow-up financing of the film were handled by BJ Culture.

It can be said that BJ Culture is now working as the main controller.

Li Chuan definitely had no way to rob them.

He was well aware of this himself, so he positioned himself as a "financial investor" from the start.

However, he will not want any power, in that case, he will have no way to protect his interests.

As for protecting his own interests in this way, he already had a plan in his heart.

"How can I be the main controller, I don't understand anything, isn't it adding chaos to being the main controller...... I'm just a financial investor, just follow you. ”

Li Chuan shook his head self-deprecatingly, and then changed his voice and said, "However, there are some things that I still need to protect." ”

"Oh?"

Jia Ling was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and couldn't help but smile on her face, and said, "I'll just say, you can't give me the money directly, and don't ask for anything, in that case, my pressure is too great." ”

"Haha."

Li Chuan smiled and explained: "No way, I'm not alone after all, there is a group of executives and a group of employees behind me, and I can't do things too casually." ”

"I understand, you say, what conditions?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I need to retain a certain right to speak in the promotion and distribution decisions of the movie."

"Publicity decision?" Jia Ling was slightly stunned.

"Hmm."

Li Chuan nodded, and explained: "I have investigated before and found that many movies are now publicized by means of guaranteed release or buyout distribution...... Am I right? ”

"Well, that's how the film market is, it's a bit chaotic, but we can't help it."

"Hmm."

Li Chuan continued: "Whether it is guaranteed distribution, buyout distribution, or box office rebates, they all directly involve my investment interests, so I want to retain a certain right to speak in this regard...... You should be able to understand this, right? ”

"Yes, but I want to ask, what are you going to do?"

"It's very simple, just sign the contract...... I joined as a financial investor and did not participate in the production, operation and management of the film, but the only thing was that I needed my consent before making the decision on the promotion and distribution of the film. ”

"A veto?"

"Well, that's pretty much it."

Li Chuan nodded, and asked cautiously, "This should be fine, right?" ”

"No problem"

Jia Ling said happily: "As the largest producer, it is normal for you to ask for a veto in terms of publicity, but ...... I still want to ask again, what do you think about the promotion of the movie? ”

"This ......"

Li Chuan pondered a little and said, "I don't have any special ideas, just follow the normal publicity process." ”

"What is the normal distribution process?"

"Well, this can also be written into the contract, as long as the movie follows the normal publicity process, my veto can also be canceled."

"Let's not talk about that."

Jia Ling said with a puzzled face: "What do you think, what is the normal publicity process?" ”

"I can't say, it's the most common anyway."

"Does it include guaranteed issuance?"

"Not included!"

Li Chuan said very decisively, and his voice raised a lot.

"Why?"

Jia Ling was a little puzzled and said: "Guaranteed issuance is also very common now." ”

"I know, but it's not what I think is the normal publicity process."

"You don't like guaranteed releases?"

"No ......"

Li Chuan originally wanted to say "I don't like it", but after thinking about it carefully, he changed another way of saying it, saying: "It's not that I don't like it, but I have to be cautious." ”

"Oh."

Jia Ling answered, and fell silent again.

Seeing this, Li Chuan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Sister Ling, do you want to do guaranteed issuance?" ”

"Hmm."

Jia Ling nodded and admitted: "I talked to Mr. Song of BJ Culture, and we both think that guaranteed issuance is a better choice. ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Chuan couldn't help frowning.

That's not good news.

You must know that before the release of the movie "Hello, Li Huanying", there was no precursor to a box office explosion, and later, its box office exceeded 5 billion, which can be said to be beyond everyone's expectations.

In this case, if this movie is released with a guarantee, the guaranteed amount will definitely not be particularly high...... Rational judgment, it would be good to be able to reach one billion.

If only one billion guarantees are signed, most of the profits created by the remaining more than 4 billion box office will be taken away by the distributor.

As a result, the producer's income will inevitably be greatly reduced.

Li Chuan invested in this movie, but he had to be the representative of the producer, and if the film was signed for guaranteed distribution, he would also suffer a huge loss of profits.

This is unacceptable to him in any way.

"You've signed a guaranteed contract?" Li Chuan asked.

"No, how can it be so fast, the movie hasn't been shot yet, the distributor can't see the movie, there is no way to do market analysis, how to guarantee the bottom?"

'It's good if you don't sign it, it's good if you don't sign it......

Li Chuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he didn't show it.

"Oh, that's right."

Li Chuan pretended to nod suddenly, and then asked, "You guys are more inclined to guarantee issuance now, right?" ”

"Yes."

"Why? Think you can reduce your risk? ”

"Yes, if you can sign a guarantee, then this movie will basically not lose money, which is a good thing for you and me, as well as other investors."

"That being said, after signing the guarantee, if the box office hits, wouldn't it be a big loss." Li Chuan retorted tentatively.

"You can't think so."

Jia Ling shook her head and said: "How easy is it to explode at the box office, there are not a few movies that hit the box office in a year, how can it be so easy for our turn...... Most of today's movies, as you may know, lose money...... Therefore, we can't expect a box office hit, and we still have to focus on guarantees. ”

"This ......"

Li Chuan originally wanted to refute, but he couldn't find a reason to refute for a while.

Indeed, at this stage, no one would have thought that the box office of the movie "Hello, Li Huanying" would exceed five billion in the future.

In the eyes of most people, Jia Ling is a movie novice...... What good results can a movie made by a movie novice be? It's good if you don't lose money, but you still want to be a box office hit? Dream about it!

In this case, the guarantee is indeed the best option.

Li Chuan thought about it, but couldn't find a reason to refute it.

In the end, he also gave up and decided to resort to delaying and controlling.

"I understand, Sister Ling, I don't know much about the film industry, and the matter of distribution is ...... I'll find out more about it later, okay? ”

"Okay."

"What about the veto......

"No problem, you deserve it."

"Hmm."

Li Chuan nodded with satisfaction, and asked again, "Then when will we sign the contract?" ”

"In a few days, I can't decide this matter myself, I have to discuss it with Mr. Song, in addition, Brother Teng's side has not yet been decided, I have to wait a few more days."

"Okay, then you can go and get busy, I'll prepare the money in advance."

"Thank you for supporting me so much."

"No, I don't feel like I'm at a loss, maybe I can make a lot of money with this."

"Haha, then I'll borrow your auspicious words."

"It's definitely no problem, come on, Sister Ling, I'm sure you can."
