Chapter 37 Cooperation with the Platform (Part II)
Li Xianyun was joking, of course.
This kind of film with an investment of one million may not be all B-rated under normal circumstances, but to give Li Xianyun face, it should be no problem to have all B's.
But A-grade?
Hehe, the rules are not so broken.
Zheng Xia looked at Li Xianyun speechlessly.
Li Xianyun laughed, "Teasing you, what's the hurry." ”
Zheng Xia smiled bitterly, "You are the big boss now, your big boss teases me, and my little man is afraid." ”
"Fuck off, it's all brothers who say this bullshit. I'm a dish in front of your boss, and I'm not even a fart in front of your boss's boss. ”
The backstage of the swift boss is the super goose factory, the first Internet company in China, and the end point Chinese website where Li Xianyun served back then is also theirs, and the platform that is so big is just a holding company under the goose factory.
Li Xianyun came out to start a business and went around, but after all, he couldn't escape the clutches of the goose factory.
Everywhere you go, you work for the geese.
Talking about jokes, Li Xianyun came over, "Seriously, it's okay to keep a B for other films, and I don't need to say that my A-level is well-deserved, and there are three other ones I think you can pick and give an A." ”
"Which one?" Zheng Xia asked.
Li Xianyun opened the notebook, it was Dong Zixin's campus love, and Cao Hongyue and Xu Han's two.
Zheng Xia fast-forwarded and looked at it, and said, "These two are reasonable, but after all, the investment is small and the cost is insufficient. This campus love, there are no special effects, forget it. ”
According to Zheng Xia's meaning, it is one of Xu Han and Cao Hongyue's films.
But Li Xianyun pointed to Dong Zixin's campus romance film, "I prefer this one." ”
"This one?" Zheng Xia was puzzled.
Li Xianyun replied very seriously: "This is a good movie." A really good film is not about special effects, not about investment, but about whether there is intention. In this film, I only gave the director 1 million cash, and she organized a group of students to shoot it, which is very immature from any point of view, but it is definitely a good film. Oh, watch it now, it's not in that state, this kind of film needs to be watched seriously. You go back and look at it at home, and then come back to me after you've finished reading it. ”
Hearing him so solemn, Zheng Xia also said seriously, "Okay, remember your words." The thing that cooperates......"
"Well, I'm going to make a superhero series soon, you know this."
"Well, but not you."
"I was the chief director of the fifteen films, and I had already planned everything from the beginning. Rest assured, we won't let you down. I will continue to shoot later, let's set up a cooperation plan, I want a discount. One A is not enough. In addition, these fifteen can't give you shares, mainly with Lan Yuan's side, you know. ”
Zheng Xia understands that Li Xianyun made 150 million from Lan Yuan and then transferred it back to Lan Yuan, so if it is converted according to the proportion of shares, it is not easy to calculate, so the Chaoying series does not need to occupy shares, it is better to talk about Chaoying after it.
He thought for a while and said, "If there is no problem with investing funds in the follow-up films, just come according to the actual proportion, and just read the script and approve it." The key is the share of publicity, right? ”
Li Xianyun smiled and nodded.
Yes, the investment is calculated according to the conversion ratio, and the key is the issue of publicity and commission.
Fifteen percent is too high.
After all, platform publicity is different from cinema publicity, the cost is much lower, and there is room for bargaining.
"The film you directed, eight percent." Zheng Xia said.
8% of the publicity and distribution is shared, which is already a super-first-line treatment.
Li Xianyun is a newcomer in the theater, and the only theater he has produced has not yet been launched, but in the field of Internet University, he is already a good person.
But Li Xianyun was not satisfied.
Because this is a standard contract, you must know that the platform wants cooperation, and they are not satisfied with eight percent, but have to invest more. But in this way, Li Xianyun felt that it was not worth it.
You didn't give me more discounts than other super first-line directors, why should I let you inject extra money?
Now Li Xianyun's films, the cost of special effects is surprisingly low, and it is basically recognized, although he himself shouted Oh, our special effects are so expensive, and each one loses money, who believes it?
You lost such a big company?
Ghost Town Film and Television has begun to promote outside, small businesses may not have heard of it, can the three major platforms still know?
So Li Xianyun frowned, Zheng Xia saw Feimao and knew the elegance, and said with a smile, "The films directed by other people under your banner are calculated according to 12%, but the specific time depends on the choice." Your film, we will participate in the future, real money, and sign a long-term cooperation contract. ”
"What about promotion?"
"Except for what should be there, the others are according to the standard."
"Add a few smaller ones."
", you didn't even ask what to add. Don't keep thinking that the platform doesn't cost money to promote resources, there are so many people in the company, and the promotion page is just like that, and you can't give it to others if you give it. ”
This is to say that the cost is low, but in fact, because the cost is fixed, and after apportionment, every recommended position is still money.
Zheng Xia has already said: "That's it, I still have to report to the boss." ”
Li Xianyun said, "Not counting the publicity, I will let twenty points at most, and I also need resources to convert here." ”
Zheng Xia is going to stare at you, you have given you such a big discount, do you still want to pit resource money?
Li Xianyun quickly said, "My resources don't make money, the price is clearly marked, you choose." What is said to be in place is absolutely in place. ”
Hearing him say this, Zheng Xia understood.
He looked at Li Xianyun and suddenly smiled, "It's rare to be such an affordable businessman now." But I don't recommend this, I'd rather set the proportion higher, and in the past, you are a little more vain, and no one cares. ”
"But my return on investment will be lower, and that's not good for my reputation." Li Xianyun replied.
He smiled and said, "I may not be able to make a hit in my life, and I may never become a world-renowned director, but I must be the most profitable director." My return on investment ratio cannot be less than five times. ”
Exercise!
This is the most director, okay?
Five-fold return?
If this is a theater chain, it is equivalent to investing 300 million in a film to ensure a box office of 4 billion.
Protect!
The key is the word "guarantee"!
Who can protect this?
Of course, the Internet University is different from the theater chain, and the Internet University has had a hundredfold return in its history.
Taoist Mountain.
Back then, the dream company spent less than 300,000 yuan to produce this online university and earned nearly 30 million.
But that was luck, at that time, the Internet University had just started, the platform was pushing, and the famous director Chen Da happened to release another film about the Taoist priest, and the dream company borrowed this shareholder wind to have this return, and it became the first large Internet company at that time, which was impossible under normal circumstances.
Five-fold return? It's awesome for a director to be able to double the return every time.
For film and television companies, it is important to hit the brand, but it is more meaningful to have low risk, high output, and stable income!
Li Xianyun's stable five-fold return is simply a fantasy, and it is estimated that Cameron Boss can do it.
Li Xianyun said this now, which directly made Zheng Xia feel speechless.
After thinking about it, Zheng Xia nodded, "I'll go and react to the boss." ”
Ten minutes later, Zheng Xia returned.
Strange complexion.
He said, "The boss asks you, does your company plan to raise money?" ”
