Chapter 675 Film and Television Investment
During Yan Xin's amusement in the capital, he also met Zeng Yan several times.
During this period, the film and television company made several investments, and there was another investment of tens of millions, which Yan Xin remembered by name, so he could invest with confidence.
In addition, there are so many million-level investments, and the games saved by others have something to do with Zeng Yan, so they pulled her in.
Zeng Yan herself is not sure whether the project can make money, but she is not too embarrassed to refuse, so she will invest a little money in it, and then introduce a small character who can appear in a few episodes, which can be regarded as creating a network.
After the establishment of the company, I also signed so many artists, trying to see if I could hold them up.
They are all newcomers who have signed, but they don't have much money, and it doesn't matter if the acting skills are good or not, the main thing is whether the image is good or not.
The man is handsome, and the woman is beautiful.
The purpose of signing them is, of course, to make them big stars, so that they can bring huge profits to the company.
However, it is not a big problem to become a big star, you can do a public relations activity, and you can also give full play to their value.
After all, the appearance is there.
Now it's just a matter of introducing them to some small supporting roles, sharpening them, and when the company invests in a certain project as the main force in the future, you can make them the protagonists.
The votes are all TV series, some are already filming, some are still in preparation, and none of them have brought profits.
However, Yan Xin didn't care about these.
His requirement for Zeng Yan is that all investment projects must be given to him, and he will determine how much to invest.
The investment of more than 10 million must be his impressive film and television works.
He didn't watch many TV series in his last life, and what he could remember must be a very popular TV series, which is basically equivalent to making money, and the more investment, the better.
Now the film and television company doesn't have much money, but it doesn't matter, if there is really any project that can make a lot of money, he can still come up with the money.
At present, the investment in film and television works is not very large, and there is no need to invest too much money into it.
Zeng Yan's status in the circle has risen a little because of the existence of this film and television investment company.
After all, the boss behind her is a boss who is engaged in both Internet and real estate.
This company is not large, it can only be regarded as a small company, but the boss behind it is a billionaire, which means that more money can be paid into the industry in the future.
That's incredible.
In the eyes of many people, Yan Xin seems to have become a big fat sheep like the coal boss, and he is an object that can be fooled.
Those people at the head of this industry are all glamorous, and they can easily get a lot of wealth.
But for this industry, it is in a state of lack of money, and it has always been short of money.
To save a project, you need to find a lot of investors to get enough funds.
Many times, he uses his influence to make connections to multiple companies.
To be able to have a promising billionaire willing to invest in this industry will certainly be warmly welcomed.
It's just that Yan Xin doesn't like to participate in activities in the entertainment industry.
In this case, Zeng Yan, as his spokesperson in this industry, naturally received more attention.
At present, the company's investment is all TV series, and it has not invested in the film industry.
The main reason is that domestic movies are not very good now, and it is difficult to pull people to the cinema.
The box office is okay, but just a few big directors may not be able to make money.
And in such a project, there are quite a lot of people who invest money, and there is basically no shortage of investment, which is not something that a small company like Zeng Yan can squeeze into.
Most of the movies in this period were on the streets, and there was really no need to invest in them.
There are some movies that are not even eligible for release even after they are made.
In comparison, it is better to make a TV series.
However, once when Zeng Yan and Yan Xin met, they mentioned a film project, which made Yan Xin interested.
The investment required for that film project was not large, only about 10 million.
But Yan Xin remembered that the box office of that movie seemed to be quite good after its release, exceeding 300 million.
In his last life, he also watched that movie, of course, not in the cinema, but in pirated versions.
I didn't expect this project to find Zeng Yan here.
It was a romance movie based on a book.
This time, Zeng Yan came for this project.
She was obviously well prepared, and brought the original book over to let her boss know that this was a movie that had a chance to make money.
And the investment is not large, it can be considered.
Her preparations were not of much use, and after Yan Xin heard her say the name of the movie, she had already made a decision to invest.
Why not invest in a project that can make money?
But he can't hear a name and say investment, which seems that his decision-making as a boss is too hasty.
Instead, he pretended to ask who the director was and who the actors were.
This project was originally a game that the director saved after reading the diary, some of the actors were decided, and some were not.
The director is not a well-known director, and the actors set are not many actors with box office appeal.
Zeng Yan said carefully, only introducing them to their potential, and more importantly, introducing that the script of this project is very good, and the actors' acting skills can also pass, and the cost is not large, under normal circumstances, it can be repaid.
And they don't need to bear all the production costs, even if they lose money, they won't lose much.
But it's also worth it to be able to connect with people in the film industry.
"How much investment do they want from us?" Yan Xin asked.
"One million to five million is fine." Zeng Yan said.
"Can we get the characters in?" Yan Xin asked again.
Zeng Yan said with some embarrassment: "This is a movie, the requirements for acting skills are relatively high, and those people signed by our company may not meet that standard, and forcibly stuffing people into it may lower the standard of the film......"
Yan Xin smiled.
That's true.
He has seen the company's contracted artists, and they are good-looking, but they don't look very spiritual.
At least at this stage, there is really no acting skills to speak of.
Of course, the company's goal is not to train them into acting schools, but to develop into idol schools.
He asked, "Can you arrange a few small roles?" Not so important, not many scenes? โ
Zeng Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as we invest and arrange a few small roles, this problem is not big." โ
"Then vote." Yan Xin said.
"So how much is the right amount to vote?" Zeng Yan asked again.
"Invest in the big ones, and they can vote as much as they need." Yan Xin said domineeringly.
Determine the project that can make money, then you can definitely invest with confidence, and the more you invest, the more you will earn.
"Then ......," Zeng Yan asked tentatively, "Let's put five million into it?" โ
"Yes." Yan Xin said.
Zeng Yan was suddenly happy.
She felt that the project would not lose money.
I didn't think about how much money I would make, and I didn't lose it.
Through this project, testing the waters of the film industry and expanding one's network is the most important thing.
The total investment demand for this project is about 10 million.
Their company invested 5 million yuan, and the right to speak was different.
The boss supported her in doing so, which made her very happy and felt that she was one step closer to her dream.
Originally, she prepared a lot of theories to persuade the boss, but it didn't work, and the boss agreed to invest much more than she expected, which made her a little surprised.
But at the same time, there is also some admiration - worthy of being the boss, the investment vision is so accurate, every project she is very optimistic about, the boss does not hesitate to invest, and is seeking to get more investment shares.
As for some projects that she can't make up her mind about, the investment amount given by the boss is more cautious, and some even veto it directly.
I don't know how I made my judgment.
On the other side, Yan Xin actually admired this woman a lot, and felt that she had a good vision for choosing investment projects.
He was able to make those judgments without hesitation, and that was because of the memories of his previous life.
Of course, I know what the outcome of what has happened.
Zeng Yan doesn't have the predictability of him, but he can accurately pick out some projects that can be done and recommend them to himself, which is rare.
is a professional talent.
After talking about the investment, Zeng Yan asked him again, do you want to get together with the main creators of this movie?
If she had such an idea, she could arrange it.
โโAccounting for half of the project's investment, I do have the qualifications to have a meal with the main creators.
However, Yan Xin still refused.
According to his memory, the heroine is a married woman, and although she will divorce that husband in the future, at least she is still very affectionate.
And the appearance is quite average among female stars, not the kind he likes, there is no need to meet.
In his memory, the male protagonist is also a husband with a wife, although he will divorce that woman in the future, but now he is also very affectionate, and he will show affection on variety shows.
Of course, this is not important at all.
It's not the star he chases, and you can only talk awkwardly when you meet, so it's better not to meet, saving that trouble.
If you arrange for Sister Tianxian to meet and have a meal or something, then you can't refuse.
Even if you are out of town, you have to rush over.
But thinking about it, the results of those movie works in which Sister Tianxian participated, I feel that this aspect is not a must.
When meeting Zeng Yan, Yan Xin always had such a feeling - this woman seemed to seduce herself.
I don't know if it's my own delusion.
Maybe people who have been in this circle for a long time are more open and very casual about those things.
Anyway, he didn't have the idea of having a relationship with the other party.
The age gap is a bit big, there is a teenage gap, and he really can't accept this.
Although it seems that this woman looks okay and is well maintained, sometimes he can see the wrinkles on his face when he laughs, which makes him have no ambiguous thoughts.
Regardless of whether the other party has the idea of seducing him or not, he just doesn't accept it anyway.
He knew that Zeng Yan's biggest idea was to build a film and television production company and an artist agency, rather than just investing in film and television projects like now.
He also didn't forget to draw cakes for her, telling her that as long as the company's performance is good, she can try to engage in film and television production in the future.
But he didn't really think like that.
He knows which movies and television will make a lot of money in the future.
However, in the timeline of the future in his previous life, there was no film and television company like him, and naturally there could be no film and television works produced by his company.
It was something he didn't foresee after he was reborn, and there was no way to know if the works produced by this company would be popular and make money.
If you make a pit like a legend of the gods, and the investment of hundreds of millions of dollars is wasted, it will be painful.
Unless you have so much money in your hands that you can't spend it all, and you don't care about losing hundreds of millions of billions, then you can make film and television works by yourself.
However, the bread still has to be painted.
I can't even draw cakes, so I'm really not a qualified boss.
He stayed in the capital until mid-December, and then he went to Jincheng, and finally met Xiao Shiyu, who was expanding the market there.
Although Xiao Shiyu persuaded him not to go over, he said that he had no time to accompany him in the past.
But he still had some worries, so in the end it passed.
When she left, she also called Xiao Shiyu and told her about her flight.
After getting off the plane, Xiao Shiyu also drove over to greet her.
I haven't seen her for a few months, and Xiao Shiyu has lost a lot of weight.
The skin that was tanned in the summer has now returned to its original state, but it looks a little thin and a little haggard.
"You're working too hard like this, you still have to arrange a little more rest time for yourself."
After meeting, he said this to Xiao Shiyu.
Xiao Shiyu smiled: "Come and see you, that's rest." โ
Then he said seriously: "Actually, you don't have to worry so much, I have my own body, and I can still bear it." Some time ago, I also went to the hospital for a comprehensive examination, and all the indicators were okay, and there was no disease. โ
She didn't lie about this, and she didn't find out anything when she was examined in the hospital.
It's just that the indicators are not very good, and they are in a sub-healthy state.
The doctor's advice to her was to get plenty of rest.
But she won't tell Yan Xin about this.
Now is a very critical time for the company, and there are some things that she really can't trust her subordinates to do, so she can only do it herself.
But she also promised Yan Xin that this state would last for a month at most, and it would end at the end of the year, and she would go home for the New Year.
You can have a good rest during the Chinese New Year.
Now her main job is to focus on the training of the team.
In the past, the frenzied expansion of the market made the management personnel seriously insufficient, and often as long as they had one or two months of work experience, they would be entrusted with important tasks and become the person in charge of a certain point.
It's not too much of a problem in a short period of time, but after a long time, there are more problems.
greatly involved their hind legs and affected their reputation.
Now is the time to standardize and straighten out.
If it can be corrected, it will be corrected.
If you really can't remove it, replace it with a better performance.
The so-called soldier bears a nest of bears.
Only if the leader is good, the team below can perform well.
Under such a standard rectification, the overall quality of the team has been improved.
In the past few months, Xiao Shiyu's rectification of the workplace here has been effective.
It's just too tired.
It's easy to know which leaders are not qualified enough, and you can see it by looking at performance and word of mouth.
However, it is not so easy to know who is good, and it requires a deep understanding of the people in the team.
You can only train and observe at the same time.
It's not just people who are tired, but also hearts.
It's no wonder she's become a lot haggard.
What can comfort her is only better and better performance.
