For Yue Lang's team, Fang Hong plans to invest 50 million yuan, unlike Zhu Yingdong's project, which is carried out independently, Yue Lang's team's project is supported by some funds from his school, but the funding is cut off.

After further discussion, the two sides reached a consensus, and Fang Hong still adopted the method of establishing a company, and put the investment funds and the project in this company.

Fang Hong still accounts for 50% of the equity, while the BGI campus accounts for 30%, and Yue Lang's team accounts for 20%, Yue Lang has no objection to this distribution plan, in fact, as long as the research can continue, he can even not have any equity, which is also clearly expressed in the exchange with Fang Hong.

However, Fang Hong was resolutely opposed, obviously, Yue Lang may be an authority in his own field, but he seems a layman in other aspects.

You can do without, you can treat money like dung, but the team you lead may not, don't they? In particular, some of the young people in the team don't even have a house of their own.

Take a step back, when the time comes, they will be unbalanced, or they will go out to set up their own doors with the results, no matter what, it will make you uncomfortable, and there will definitely be trouble.

Using interests to maintain is the most direct and convenient way.

As for the BGI campus, accounting for 30% is not a loss, the project is about to be killed, and now there are investors willing to come in, why not?

If BGI doesn't agree, Fang Hong is also very simple, then don't vote.

Or the school does not agree, but Yue Lang is willing to resign from his position, and Fang Hong can directly invest money to support Yue Lang to continue his research.

After finishing the video conference with Yue Lang's team, Fang Hong turned his head to look at the beautiful assistant who was sitting next to him without saying a word, and ordered: "These two teams, you start arranging the preparation of money and contracts, and send someone to contact them." ”

Tian Jiayi nodded: "Okay, leave it to me." ”

Unlike Chu Changxing's team's drone project, Kunpeng Technology can predictably achieve results, and the first generation of products will be released in two months, while these two scientific research projects in the biological field of anti-aging are much more difficult, and there may not be breakthrough results in ten years.

Even Fang Hong is ready to invest the tens of millions of dollars, and there is no hope that it will be transformed into commercial results within ten years, but why should he still invest? The answer is actually very simple, no matter how bad it is, it has achieved technical reserves and talent reserves, and it is not completely wasted!

You must know that these two projects are placed in the company, and the control of the company is in the hands of Fang Hong, and the first round of investment will get the general equity, and the next round of financing will be able to get absolute control.

For the investment of this kind of project, Fang Hong has never looked at the short-term, but zoomed into a time cycle of ten or even twenty years.

All in all, investment in this kind of field is to have no breakthrough in this field, and if there is a breakthrough, Qunxing Capital will inevitably occupy a place in it, and even lead this industry.

Anyway, there is a lot of money, and I don't have to worry about this money at all.

Once the results are produced and can be commercialized, it is a direct win.

After a while, Evelet came to the study, she looked at Fang Hong and said, "Brother Hong, Mr. Cao has come over and is downstairs in the living room." ”

The Mr. Cao she said was Cao Chenghui, and Fang Hong called him in the morning to ask him to come over.

Evelei came over and walked out of the room, Tian Jiayi also left the study, and Fang Hong came to the bookshelf and glanced at it and took out two books, and then walked out of the study downstairs.

Cao Chenghui, who was waiting in the living room downstairs, soon saw the big boss coming down from upstairs, and also saw Tian Jiayi coming down with her.

Cao Chenghui, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, saw him coming and quickly got up, but Fang Hong, who came over, lifted his hand and pressed it, Cao Chenghui sat back in place again when he was halfway up, and Fang Hong and Tian Jiayi sat down successively.

"Boss, what do you want me to do?" Cao Chenghui immediately said, the big boss called him over in person, he felt that there should be important things to instruct, and put down the work at hand to meet as soon as possible.

At this time, Fang Hong put the two books he brought down on the table to play with Cao Chenghui and pushed forward, saying, "Have you read these two books?" ”

Tian Jiayi also glanced at it curiously, and Cao Chenghui picked up a copy, glanced at the title of the book and subconsciously said: "The Three-Body Problem...... Science fiction? ”

The two books brought by Fang Hong are the two full-length sci-fi "Three-Body Problem" and "Three-Body Problem: Dark Forest", as for the third "Three-Body Problem: Death and Eternal" has not yet been released, but it will be very soon, not surprisingly, according to the original history, it will be published in November 2010, that is, two months later.

After a while, Cao Chenghui looked at the big boss and shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it, boss, I don't like to watch science fiction." ”

Fang Hong glanced at the book in his hand and said: "Recently, I read this trilogy series of science fiction, it is a very good work, and the third step is about to be published, it is a world-class series of science fiction masterpieces, you go and buy the copyright of this series." ”

Hearing this, Cao Chenghui immediately responded: "No problem." ”

At the same time, Ah Hui couldn't help but secretly slander in his heart, originally thought that the big boss had something important to explain, but he didn't expect it to be this? That's it? This kind of trivial matter can not be solved with a phone call.

Fang Hong said unhurriedly: "The film and television changes of this science fiction work should be extremely important, the Yixing Media Group I want wants to shake Hollywood in the future, domestic movies are not something that can be done by a few "Three Guns Shooting Surprise", you are not afraid to shoot 10,000 movies like this, and you can still comment with curiosity, and if you are happy, you may be given a few awards, but if you make a top science fiction blockbuster like "The Three-Body Problem" or "The Wandering Earth", which outputs our own values, he will panic to death. ”

I thought it wasn't a big deal, but when he heard that Fang Hong had raised this matter to such a height, Cao Chenghui was surprised and immediately paid attention to it.

Fang Hong said: "I have a preliminary understanding that the film and television copyright of the three-body problem IP has been bought for 100,000 yuan last year, you go to find this buyer and buy the copyright at any cost." ”

In fact, when thinking of the series of sci-fi series "Three-Body Problem", Fang Hong also slapped his thigh and forgot!

I only remembered it recently.

Otherwise, Cao Chenghui would have been asked to buy the copyright last year.

But it's not a big problem, anyway, there is a lot of money, and the money ability can be solved, the series of "Three-Body Problem" is bound to be won, it not only has a potentially strong commercial value expectation, but also the output value of cultural values, and the commercial value of the "Three-Body Problem" movie universe is also expected to be huge, and if it is successfully built, it can bring tens of billions of cultural industry chains.

But now is not the time, on the one hand, the special effects are not up to the requirements, and on the other hand, the country's comprehensive national strength needs to be improved.

Science fiction movies are different from other genres, whether this genre can succeed depends to a large extent on the country's comprehensive national strength, to put it down-to-earth, even the Chinese people themselves do not believe that they can save the world, they will feel too fake, and they will inevitably not be recognized.

No matter how good this series of movies is, it will take five or eight years to wait, and by that time, the level of special effects will come up, the national strength will also come up, and the Chinese people will be more confident than ever, especially the younger generation.

At that time, it was the time to launch the "Three-Body Problem" cinematic universe project, and from a commercial point of view, it would take five or eight years before there was a market foundation.

After all, if a science fiction movie wants to really benchmark the level of Hollywood's film industry, the cost will never be reduced, and the production cost will be 7~1 billion yuan, and if you want to recover the production cost through the box office, it will take 21~30 billion box office, which is only to recover the cost.

In the current mainland film market, the highest box office is "Avatar" released at the beginning of the year, which won a box office of 2.016 billion yuan, which is already the limit of the mainland market, or the existence of Fang Hong in this era has allowed Yixing Media Group to accelerate the construction of 3D screening halls.

At present, if the "Three-Body Problem" movie is launched, the viewing volume in the mainland market is simply not enough to recover the production cost, and there is basically no need to consider the overseas market, because this kind of blockbuster, it is impossible for the beautiful country to give you a large-scale film schedule, and it will not give you any money.

Lao Mei's Hollywood blockbusters have the support of the global market, but domestic films can only rely on the mainland market for a long time, and from a commercial point of view, it will be difficult to bear a film with a production cost of 1 billion yuan in the next five to eight years, because the cost cannot be recovered!

Reducing production costs means that the quality is not good, and in the end it will fail miserably.

After 2017, the mainland film market can almost carry a large production with a cost of 1 billion, because the market volume is in place, Fang Hong has the advantage of foresight, knowing that in 2017, a "Wolf Warrior 2" hit a box office of 5.6 billion, which means that at this point in time in 2017, the volume of the mainland market can already make a sci-fi blockbuster with a production cost of 1 billion recover its costs and make a profit.

As for now, it must not be possible, so I can only buy the IP first and reserve it, and slowly make preliminary preparations, after all, it took nearly 10 years from the preparation to the release of "Avatar".

The film and television adaptation rights of "The Three-Body Problem" were now bought by the wife of a director in the mainland last year, and after watching it, she was deeply attracted and decided to buy the film and television rights, so that her husband could arrange a movie and become famous in one fell swoop.

She found the author of the work, Da Liu, and symbolically quoted a price of 100,000 yuan.

And Da Liu's unit has a salary of 4,000 yuan a month, and the previous novella "The Wandering Earth" took 2,800 yuan in manuscript fees, how many words do you have to code for 100,000 yuan? So Da Liu didn't think much about it and agreed directly.

If it is according to the original historical trajectory, the couple who bought the copyright changed hands and made 120 million yuan ten years later, and it was You Zu's boss who paid more than 100 million to buy it.

But now that Fang Hong wants to insert a lever in, there must be nothing to do with Youzu.
