The imperial capital, the headquarters of Alibaba Pictures.

Fan Luyuan got out of the car with a gloomy face and strode into the office building.

Today's movie schedule meeting is really a nest, dignified Ali, there is only one movie released in this summer's file.

is still a Hong Kong film, Ali Pictures doesn't even have an investment share, and only got a guaranteed release.

Before going, Fan Luyuan still had the idea of learning.

After I went, I learned to learn a fart, in the field of film, every time there is a hot schedule, there are works that are the most dicked.

The reason why Hengyu and Bona are so arrogant today is not because there are several movies released from June to August.

Other film and television companies don't have movies, so they can only stare on the sidelines!

Compared with Tengxun Pictures and iQiyi Pictures, although Ali Pictures has no eggs, what is the use.

Do you still expect to use "Anti-Corruption Storm" and "I Am Not the God of Medicine" hard steel, but it is just disgusting Fang Ziheng.

in the elevator.

Fan Luyuan's eyes condensed, and he quickly thought about what Alibaba Pictures should do next.

From Alipay to big entertainment, he came with the belief that he would win, thinking that the film and television industry was nothing more than that.

Before entering the venue, Hangcheng Ma had a special chat with him, and after making some achievements, he handed over the entire Alida Entertainment Group to him.

The meaning is obvious, Fan Luyuan is the hero of the rise of Alipay, and handing over Alida Entertainment Group to him is equivalent to letting him come over in advance to enjoy the blessings.

However, what Fan Luyuan didn't expect was that he fell into the quagmire as soon as he entered the game, and was taught to be a man by Hengyu Media three times and twice.

Could it be that the opponent chosen is wrong?

Fan Luyuan whispered in his heart, wondering if he had made the wrong choice to regard Hengyu as Ali's biggest opponent in the industry!

No, you didn't make that right!

There has never been only newcomers laughing, not seeing old people crying, only by overturning Hengyu, Ali Pictures will have a broader space in the future.

He knows very well that for Hengyu Media, the attitude of the three BAT companies is the same.

If you can pull it, you can pull it, and if you can't pull it, you will suppress it!

Whether it is Ali or Teng Xun, they all follow the path of saluting first and then soldiering.

It's just that Ali Pictures did a reverse operation not long after wooing Hengyu, secretly mixing Hengyu's movie, and it was discovered.

Fang Ziheng was furious and suspended the cooperation of "Thai Embarrassment", and also reversed Ali's "Seven Star Lu King" produced last year.

At this point, the relationship between the two sides will reach a freezing point.

Fang Ziheng's attitude towards Ali Pictures is even more pretending to be in some private occasions, and his attitude is extremely bad.

"At the end of the day, you have to have potential!"

Fan Luyuan snorted coldly and took the elevator straight to Ali's office area.

"Hello chairman."

"Fan Dong is good!"

"Hmm"

After getting out of the elevator, the employees greeted him cordially along the way.

Fan Luyuan restrained his expression, nodded slightly, did not speak, and went to his office.

Passing by the outer secretary's quarters, he gave instructions to the secretary: "Inform all executives to have a meeting after work in the afternoon." ”

"Okay, Chairman"

The young secretary hurriedly got up, respectfully responded, and then used the landline to notify the group executives, and asked, "Chairman, have you had lunch?" ”

"Not yet, let the cafeteria bring me one."

As he spoke, Fan Luyuan kept at his feet, pushed the door and walked into his office.

The young secretary looked at the closed office door and blinked, feeling that something was wrong with the chairman today.

Chairman, the mood is not very good!

………

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

Fan Luyuan rested for a while, and came to the No. 1 conference room of Alibaba Pictures with a few documents.

Zhang Wall, Zhang Wei, Yang Wei, Deng Kangmin, as well as the directors of the group's publicity and distribution departments were all present.

"Everyone has arrived, now the meeting begins."

Coming to the main seat in front of him, Fan Luyuan glanced around, knocked on the table and sat down indifferently, leaning on the boss's chair without saying a word.

Everyone looked at him, and their hearts jumped, and they had a premonition that today's expanded meeting Ali Pictures was not satisfactory.

Everyone looked at Zhang Wall and Zhang Wei, one of them is the CEO, and the other is the chief financial officer of Da Entertainment, who has the most right to speak.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Wall first secretly scolded in his heart for 'slippery head', then showed a little smile and asked Fan Luyuan: "Chairman, did something happen to today's meeting?" ”

"If something happens, forget it."

Fan Luyuan swept around again, and found that everyone looked cautious, and was immediately dumbfounded.

It's still not enough to practice and bring emotions to the meeting.

Fan Luyuan took a light breath, let himself relax completely, and said in a somewhat introductory tone: "Everyone, after today's expanded meeting, China Film convened all film and television companies to have a small meeting to discuss the upcoming summer vacation.

In the summer of this year, only one "Anti-Corruption Storm" in our group was released, which is a very abnormal situation. ”

As soon as his words came out, everyone suddenly realized.

No wonder, it turned out that the dissatisfied group did nothing in this year's summer market!

In the second half of last year, Ali Pictures launched several attacks on the film industry after "Seven Stars Lu Wang", and the harvest was not unsubstantial, and the investment rights and distribution rights of many films were finalized in a row.

But among the many movies, few of them will be released in the upcoming summer vacation.

Some of the works approved by the group this year have just started, and some are still in preparation, and the release time will have to wait until next year.

A group of executives understand Fan Luyuan's feelings, but they are also helpless!

It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, what she is talking about is that at this stage, Ali Pictures has huge publicity and distribution resources, but has not produced a few blockbuster movies.

The company has been established for two years, and only Zhao Yanzi's "To Youth" is considered to be a shot in the industry.

As everyone thought, Fan Luyuan was silent for a while, and then informed everyone of the meeting process of discussing the schedule.

Hengyu, Bona, and China Film have become the winners of today's small meeting, and the three film and television companies have more than three movies released during the summer vacation, enjoying the gluttonous feast brought by the hot schedule.

Ali, almost nothing.

Except for Zhang Wall, the rest of the people present have only been in the film and television industry for two years.

But even if the time of entry is short, everyone is very clear, with the same idea as Fan Luyuan who came back just now.

Opus!

Without works, everything is empty talk!

No matter how rich you are, no matter how much resources you have, you have to have works in your hands to bring out the ultimate effect.

For a moment, there was silence in the conference room.

Everyone was a little interested, and was hit by the meeting process that Fan Luyuan said.

That's it!

Ali's line leader, Zhang Wei, broke the silence with a smile.

"Chairman, I just received a good news that "Mermaid" directed by Zhou Xingchi has been approved."

"Oh, it's finally time to start shooting!"

Fan Luyuan's spirit was shocked, and he sat up straight suddenly, and his spirit soared upwards at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The rest of the people were also stunned by this sudden good news.

Just now I was thinking that I didn't have a blockbuster movie in hand, and now I'm sleepy pillow, this luck, quack!

In an instant, the sluggish atmosphere in the conference room was swept away, and everyone talked about it.

For one purpose, we must resolutely win the investment in "Mermaid".

Fan Luyuan listened for a while, interrupted everyone's discussion, and said to Zhang Wei: "When Zhou Xingchi revealed the news of the new film last year, everyone flocked to it, and now that the project is officially established, other film and television companies must have also gotten the news."

You investigate and see who contacted Zhou Xingchi himself first. ”

"Okay, we'll find out right away."

Zhang Wei nodded, took out his mobile phone in front of everyone, and quickly made a few calls.

After a while, the news came together.

"Chairman, in addition to Zhou Xingchi's Xinghui Film and Television, China Film, Hengyu, and Guangxian have also obtained investment shares in advance!"

Zhang Wei's eyes condensed slightly, looked at the message on his mobile phone, and said lightly.

So far, three companies have received investment in "Mermaid".

Zhang Wall frowned, and hurriedly said: "Why is it so fast, do you know the specific share?" ”

Fan Luyuan also looked over, with a trace of worry on his face.

He has been waiting for Stephen Chow's next project, and for this reason, he has contacted the other party in advance and promised to invest at a premium.

I thought that the victory was in my hands, but I didn't expect the opponent to do it a long time ago.

Thinking that in today's conference room, Han Dong, Fang Ziheng, and Wang Changtian did not show any traces, and Fan Lu's vitality did not come to one place.

Even, even Zhou Xingchi's complained.

Skipping Ali Pictures and accepting investment from the three, this is looking down on him!

!

However, Fan Luyuan can only endure it.

Zhou Xingchi's movies have no shortage of investors at all, Ali can pay a premium, and others can too.

What's more, the publicity and distribution strength of China Film, Hengyu and Guangxian is the top in the industry.

In addition, all three companies have theaters, which is the biggest weakness of Alibaba Pictures.

"Chairman, the total investment of "Mermaid" is 300 million, Xinghui Investment accounts for 20%, China Film 15%, Hengyu 20%, Guang Xian 30%, and there is still 15% of the share."

Only 15% left!

the groove

Fan Luyuan's heart was so dangerous, he turned his head to look at Zhang Wall, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhang, make an appointment with Zhou Xingchi immediately, and we will interview him in person." ”

"No problem, I'll contact him right away."

Zhang Wall's second words were good, and he took out his mobile phone and dialed Zhou Xingchi's phone.

Of all the people present, only he, the former deputy general manager of China Film, had Zhou Xingchi's personal contact information.

Doodle

In the eyes of everyone, the phone was quickly connected, and a Hong Kong Island dialect came from inside.

"Hey, is it Mr. Zhang?"

"Hello, Director Zhou, I'm Zhang Wall of Ali Pictures!"

Zhang Wall laughed, and then turned on the mobile phone under the gesture of Deng Kangming beside him.

"Hello Mr. Zhang, what's the matter?"

The second sentence came out of Zhou Xingchi's mouth and quietly changed into Mandarin.

At the same time, Zhou Xingchi also knew the purpose of Zhang Wall's call.

"Director Zhou, I heard that "The Mermaid" was officially approved, and there is still a lack of some investment, and we are very interested in the remaining share."

"No problem, I just arrived in the imperial capital, I have time tomorrow, let's meet and talk then."

"Director Zhou, can we meet tonight?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, the people from Wanda Film and Television made an appointment with me tonight!"

"Mr. Zhang, see you tomorrow."

Doodle

In the dumbfounded eyes of everyone, the other end of the phone quickly hung up.

Quiet!

It's quiet!

Everyone heard the content of the phone call clearly, Wanda Film and Television made an appointment with Zhou Xingchi one step ahead of them.

Zhang Wei's eyelids jumped violently, his complexion changed greatly, and he stood up and looked at Fan Luyuan and said, "Chairman, you must not wait until tomorrow." ”

"Wanda Film and Television's capital is also very strong, and Zhou Xingchi is likely to accept the other party's investment tonight!"

was reminded by Zhang Weiyi, everyone came back to their senses and looked at Fan Luyuan anxiously.

Even Zhang Wall showed a bit of eagerness.

After all, Zhou Xingchi's project is the most potential film that Alibaba Pictures can access at present.

He stared at Fan Luyuan and said loudly: "Chairman, we must act immediately. ”

Fan Luyuan was not a procrastinator, and slapped the table and said, "Okay, without further ado, we will rush to the hotel where Zhou Xingchi is staying now." ”

As he walked out, he explained to Zhang Wei, who followed him.

"Zhang Wei, you immediately prepare an investment contract, and come to the hotel to find us later."

"Understood, I'll do it right away!"

Hengyu headquarters.

Fang Ziheng also received the news from Zhou Xingchi Bei Shendu, and immediately called Lin Wei, director of the distribution department, and Guo Fan, deputy director of the film division.

""The Mermaid" has been submitted for review, and filming will start in the near future, and the two of them will go to see Zhou Xingchi tomorrow and talk about the guaranteed release."

Fang Ziheng asked the two of them to sit down while explaining the matter.

"Guaranteed issuance, chairman you"

Lin Wei and Guo Fan were stunned, not understanding why Fang Ziheng was in such a hurry.

The group just talked about the investment in "Mermaid", and the money was sent to Xinghui Film and Television for less than three days, and now it is about guaranteed distribution?

It's too fast!

"Quick? Not fast at all! ”

Fang Ziheng smiled, and smiled at Lin Wei and Guo Fan, who were puzzled: "You guys, I only saw that the movie hadn't started yet, but I didn't see Zhou Xingchi's influence. ”

"Let me tell you this, in addition to selecting the main creators of the movie, the most important purpose of Zhou Xingchi's visit to the imperial capital this time is to sell the guaranteed distribution of the movie!

Whoever quotes the highest price will win the distribution rights of "The Mermaid"! ”

This is the reality, even if the film directed by Zhou Xingchi is not as popular as that directed by Fang Ziheng, it can definitely be called one of the most popular projects in the Chinese film industry.

The movie of the king of comedy is not worried about selling at all.

Of the four main controllers finalized by "The Mermaid", Xinghui does not seem to account for much, only 20% of the share.

But people don't have a penny, and Xinghui buys shares with Zhou Xingchi's director's fees, producer's fees, and screenwriter's fees.

A full 60 million soft girl coins!

is not a salary, 60 million is counted into the investment of "Mermaid", and you can enjoy 20% of the income from the box office of the movie.

The actual cost of 60 million yuan will be borne by Hengyu, China Film, Guangxian, and subsequent investors.

This is not the end, in order to get the investment share, Hengyu and Guangxian had to pay a premium to impress Zhou Xingchi.

Hengyu accounts for 20%, with a production investment of 60 million and a premium of 30 million.

Among them, 20 million is the real premium, and 10 million is considered to make up for the proportion of Xinghui Film and Television.

China Film is more special, Zhou Xingchi did not ask for the premium of China Film, in addition to the 45 million actual production funds, he made up for the proportion of 10 million Xinghui Film and Television, and invested a total of 55 million.

Bright accounts for 30%, the highest proportion, with a production investment of 9,000 and a premium of 35 million.

Similarly, the real premium of 20 million and 15 million make up for the proportion of Xinghui Film and Television.

In other words, Hengyu, China Film, and Guangxian have made up a total of 50 million soft girl coins for the proportion of Xinghui Film and Television.

Xinghui invested 60 million yuan, and there was still a difference of 10 million yuan, which was handed over to the subsequent investors to make up for it.

And Hengyu and the glamorous real premium of 40 million went into Zhou Xingchi's private pocket.

As soon as the movie was established, it made a lot of money!

It can be seen how strong Zhou Xingchi's current appeal is.

Fang Ziheng wanted to knock on the guaranteed release of "The Mermaid" as soon as possible, it was for this reason that when the movie was released, the daylily was cold.

Lin Wei and Guo Fan understood the chairman's good intentions, and patted their chests and said that they would complete the task.

Guo Fan rubbed his hands, licked his face and smiled: "Chairman, the highest offer of "Mermaid", you give it to us!" ”

"There is no bottom line!"

Fang Ziheng waved his hand violently, looked at the two of them with burning eyes, and said: "In the next two days, in addition to competing for the remaining investment share of the film, the rest of the film and television companies will definitely offer a guaranteed release."

After you go over, first take a look at the company's quotations as the main controller, and then everything will be under my command! ”
