123 Let us not stop picking up sixpence under our feet, and let us not laugh at those who like to look up at the moon.
Yu Dongqing met Li Wan in an office building in the Bolaite Film and Television Film and Television Cultural Industrial Park on Jinzhan South Road in Chaoyang.
This is the producer's studio he has just established, and its main business covers film and television investment and production, director brokerage, screenwriter brokerage and other businesses.
I didn't see Li Wan at first, and the girl who received him was a girl named Zhang Yue, an assistant recruited by Li Wan.
Zhang Yue warmly received Yu Dongqing, and after making tea, she told him that Mr. Li would go out to do something and come back immediately. Within ten minutes, I saw Li Wan pushing the door in, looking in a hurry.
"I'm sorry, Holly, I've kept you waiting." Li Wan said apologetically. "Let's go, go to my office."
I saw Yu Dongqing holding up the teacup again, and said with a smile: "This is hospitality tea, go to my office to drink the newly listed Longjing." ”
After speaking, he said to Zhang Yue, who was standing aside: "Zhang Yue, next time Mr. Yu comes, go directly to my office to get tea." ”
"Okay, Mr. Li."
"Mr. Li, what are you busy with? Investing in new films? In Li Wan's office, Yu Dongqing asked with a smile.
Li Wan smiled when he heard it: "Dongqing, we are friends, I won't pretend, I didn't talk about any business just now, I went to see a new house, on the edge of the East Third Ring Road, three bedrooms and two living rooms of 120 square meters, and the house type is not bad." ”
"Want to change houses?"
"I won't tell you, in the past, our family of three was crammed into a house of more than 40 square meters, and the daughter-in-law said that it was too small, and the child had grown up and lived inconveniently, and complained for several years, but this time I finally made a profit, so I just bought a set!"
Yes.
According to Li Wan's investment, the producer 5% plus his own investment of 1 million, accounting for about 14% of the investment, after deducting personal income tax, he can only make a net profit of about 13 million, which is more than enough to buy a 120-square-meter house in the city.
"Congratulations, congratulations, one day to move, say a word of congratulations on your housewarming." Yu Dongqing said with a smile.
"Hehe, I won't forget you, speaking of which, it's thanks to you, if you hadn't invested in that song, you would have been able to make so much money?"
"I can't say the same, the main thing is that the movie was originally good." Yu Dongqing humbly said and asked, "What about Dongsheng, what are you busy all day?" Ready to make a film again? ”
"yes. Preparing a new film. ”
"What's the film?" Yu Dongqing asked curiously.
"The name has not been decided for the time being, it is a story of a few idlers living in coal mines who make money by harming people, a mining disaster or something." Li Wan said.
Shoot this?
Yu Dongqing suddenly thought that the "Blind Well" of the "blind" trilogy filmed by director Li Yang of that time and space was about this aspect, but for various reasons, this movie was not released in China!
Stepped on the line.
Thinking of this, Yu Dongqing asked implicitly: "Li Wan, is he a little sensitive when he shoots this subject?" Don't know how easy it is to pass the trial? ”
"I read his script, and I think the probability of passing the review and release is less than half! I advised him not to give up, but he didn't want to! I put all the money I earned this time into it! ”
"I said, you are still renting a house in Yanjing, and you have earned about 5 million this time, and it is enough to buy a house, at least you have a nest in Yanjing, right? But he just wouldn't listen! said that he didn't even have a daughter-in-law, what kind of nest do you want? ”
"It me off at the time. Hey, that's a bull, don't hit the south wall and don't look back! In the end, Li Wan sighed deeply.
Yu Dongqing didn't say anything.
Some people are idealists, chewing vegetable roots and drinking white porridge, counting stars in the broken grass, desperate for what they love.
There is no need to blame them.
We keep picking up sixpence under our feet, and we don't laugh at people who like to look up at the moon.
The two chatted for a while, and Li Wan took out the financial accounts of "Hello Teacher" and the audit opinion issued by the accounting firm.
Yu Dongqing took a closer look, and the profit situation was similar to his pre-estimate, his own income was 23,501,254.95 yuan, and if 20% of the personal income tax was deducted, it would be about more than 18 million.
"Holly, if you don't have any opinions, just sign this form, and the finance can go to the account, and I will transfer your income part to your account tomorrow."
"No problem." Yu Dongqing was very happy to sign his name.
Yu Dongqing was just about to leave, but Li Wan stopped him: "Dongqing, I have a script in my hand and a director wants to shoot, are you interested in investing?" ”
"Oh, I'll see."
Li Wan took out a script from the bookcase and handed it to Yu Dongqing, who sat on the sofa and looked at it seriously.
is an urban youth film, the more Yu Dongqing watches it, the more it looks like "Little Times" filmed by Guo Jingming in the original era.
This director's name is Liu Xiaorui, and he is also a new generation director who has made several films, but they are all tepid.
In the original time and space, the box office of "Little Times" was actually very considerable, and the total investment cost of the 4 films was 300 million, but relying on commercial operations, the final box office added up to more than 1.7 billion, and the investor made a net profit of 800 million.
Although the scores of several films on Douban have not exceeded 5, and they have been criticized a lot on the Internet: what story is bloody and vulgar, compared to movies, the film picture is more like a MV, a lot of exaggerated content, fan movies.
But it did earn! And there is more to be earned.
This is also related to the careful promotion of the film by Guo Jingming and his investors: finding an audience and marketing it with precision.
Some people also analyzed that the explosion of this IP is related to the acceleration of urbanization, the rise of foreign labor, and the anxiety of the identity of the new middle class.
Essentially a small-town boy who is rich and imagines Shanghai, almost all the important characters in the book have the author's own shadow.
In this time and space, this Liu Xiaorui has Guo Jingming's ability?
If you don't shoot it well, it's a bad movie.
Of course, there is also a song that is very suitable for this movie, that is, "Time to Cook Rain" is very good when I was a child.
However, Yu Dongqing didn't want to take it out.
I don't need money urgently now, and I invest a lot.
Moreover, the relationship with Li Wan is not to that extent, if Zhang Yang insists on making such a film, he will not hesitate to come up with this song.
Help as much as you can.
"I'm sorry, Li Wan, I'm not very interested in this film." Yu Dongqing directly refused.
Li Wan was slightly disappointed, but he could accept it.
Friends belong to friends and business belongs to business, and no one will take millions to play in the water, unless he is a fool like Wang Dongsheng.
"Okay, I'll look for you next time if there's a suitable film."
"Okay, let's go." Yu Dongqing stood up.
"I'll send you."
"No, no, what's polite to me?" Yu Dongqing refused with a smile.
But Li Wan still sent him to the elevator and waved goodbye.
"Mr. Li, is he unwilling to invest?" Zhang Yue waited for Yu Dongqing to leave before asking softly.
"Well, I didn't like this script."
"What then?"
"It's okay, continue to find investors, that's what we're doing." Li Wan didn't care.
"Do you invest personally?"
"Don't vote, only charge commissions." Li Wan smiled.
Thanks for the absolutely boring, the moon is full and cool, and mfive's tip. Thank you for the monthly pass of the Captain of the Mountain Patrol and others.
