Chapter 30: The wrath of the people

In the following days, Li Xianyun started formal negotiations with Baike Company.

On the one hand, the two sides found experts in the field to conduct a formal asset appraisal of Baike Company, and on the other hand, they fought for every inch of land on the application of A face swapping technology.

And as time went on, the company retreated - they got the news from the Comey company, as if the other party's research and development was going badly and was constantly coming out, and it is said that there is now a sense of sadness within the company, thinking that their design idea was wrong from the beginning.

In this case, Yisheng Media's technology is still unique.

The increase in capital chips is a concession to the customer.

In the end, the two parties reached an agreement that Yisheng Media would invest 200 million yuan to formally invest in Baike Company and obtain 30% of the shares and corresponding board seats.

At the same time, Yisheng Media will hand over the exclusive overseas authorization of A face swap technology in China to Baike Company to operate, but Baike Company still has to pay a corresponding authorization fee every year, which cannot be saved, but the price is much cheaper.

The exclusive licensing agreement is for five years, and within five years, Yisheng Media shall not invest in any similar rice film and television company without the permission of Baike Company, which is a restriction on Yisheng Media.

But at the same time, the external financing and operation of Baike Company must also be controlled by Yisheng Media. Whether it is a future film and television cooperation plan, industrial mergers and acquisitions, or other related peripherals, it must be approved by Yisheng Media.

To put it bluntly, the two sides limit each other and tie each other strongly, and as long as everyone does not make small moves, they will develop together.

For this reason, the Baike company also ruthlessly cut off some other related products, including the withdrawal of capital from some companies, and put all the focus on the Baike headquarters, and Li Xianyun also completely cut off the possibility of cooperation with other overseas film and television companies in the film and television business. As long as the two parties cooperate happily, then it is logical to automatically renew the contract after five years.

Only this kind of deep binding can allow both parties to work together to run the company well.

As for 200 million rice yuan, it's trivial, the price is not expensive, even if it is expensive, it doesn't matter.

The larger the enterprise, the more important it is to control.

This meeting lasted for about half a month, as a merger and acquisition of the overseas industry, such efficiency is relatively high, and the rest is a bunch of processes and small details, which are usually handed over to the people below.

After Li Xianyun finished talking, he spent a few days in Hollywood and hurriedly returned to China.

The first thing I did when I went back was to see Sun Shi.

it.

What a ravage.

Returning to the company with a blue nose and a swollen face and collapsed, ignoring the surprised eyes of the company's personnel, Li Xianyun sat on the chair almost out of strength: "! This is getting mad and crazy. ”

Jiang Yuanyuan walked in with his head down, not daring to look at the dark green in the corner of the boss's eyes: "There is bad news." ”

"Which film is losing again?" Li Xianyun asked.

"It's not. Someone accuses you from above, saying that you are influencing the industry, exploiting all those who work in the industry, and squeezing the sweat and sweat of the lower classes......"

Li Xianyun replied angrily: "Those adjectives are not said, who complains?" Who to complain to? ”

"Some well-known directors, producers, and celebrities have submitted to the Film and Television Industry Association."

"Great director? Oh yes. Li Xianyun nodded.

Li Xianyun's Yisheng Studio, first smashed the producer's job, and secondly, it affected other relevant staff, especially the director.

is a famous director, and his status is quite awesome, and sometimes he is taller than a star.

But here in Li Xianyun, their value has been greatly reduced.

Li Xianyun does not allow the creation of inspirational explosions, and focuses on preliminary preparation, storyboarding, and simulation rehearsals.

This is a good thing for new directors, especially those who come out of school, and what they are best at is talking on paper.

But it's not good for the big directors -, when has Lao Tzu done that before?

Directors who can work with a stickman, and even directors who don't have scripts, make films all on the spot.

Well, now, the workload during the filming period has been greatly reduced, and the workload of preliminary preparation has skyrocketed, and the key is that there is not much money for this work. If you dare to lose your temper and pick a child, the work in front of you will be in vain.

Someone fires you on the spot, and what you make is still someone else's!

The directors are equivalent to ninety percent of their energy for rehearsals, one percent of the money, one percent of their energy for shooting, and ninety percent of the money - and then they said it on the set!

This means that if you don't want to lose, you have to bow your head.

How can great directors have a good temper?

There are a lot of people who have been cheated for this, and you can't help it.

And that's just one thing.

The other is that incomes are also falling.

Because it is all on paper, this means that the demand for the director's execution is low and the demand for imagination is high, while the big director himself is all-round, not only with artistic ideas, but also with rich experience in actual execution.

This also means that Yisheng's shooting method has led to a low threshold for directors, many newcomers, and even cross-industry people can do it, and in a sense, the value of art direction is more than that of directors.

It also made Yisheng Studios gradually no longer favor famous directors.

To put it bluntly, they can't keep up with the situation.

As a result, the director's salary has also plummeted.

In the past, there were tens of millions of great directors, but now it is polite to give you one million. Are you not convinced? Your work is done by a human being.

No way.

Because this is equivalent to turning making a movie into writing - the filming stage of the film cannot be modified at will, so the director's talent is very important, and it is easy not to go wrong. Now you can modify it at will, and the newcomer can also play a role, and the newcomer director makes a wrong judgment, and the rehearsal effect is not good, and the cost of loss is extremely limited.

Then the value of the director will naturally decrease.

This made many big directors angry.

If you want power, you don't have the right, you want money, you don't have money, you want to pit, let alone who you can pit, after all, the production right is also grabbed by others.

The result of monopoly is inevitable oppression.

Regardless of whether the big directors were worth their worth before, at least now, they, like the producers, have seen a sharp decline in the market.

In this case, domestic gold medal producers, famous directors, and famous photographers and big-name artists who are also suffering from it (the price of artists has also been lowered, and even the coffee position has been lowered. Otherwise, I told the boss that I was looking for a first-line artist, but the boss took Yi Sheng's over as a reference, saying that Ya is a third-line, and I can't die? In short, as long as they are not Yisheng people, they all have great opinions on Yisheng Media.

No, a group of people began to complain jointly.

Hearing this, Li Xianyun was happy: "Complain to the Film and Television Industry Association? They're crazy, aren't they? ”m.bu

Huaguo's film and television industry association is just a decoration, and it basically has no influence on the film and television industry, which is not like the United States.

What is the director association, the actors association, the screenwriters association, especially the animal protection association, the insurance industry, etc., has a great influence on film and television companies, without their support, it is difficult for rice film and television to move an inch.

But in Huaguo, I'm sorry, it's not a bird at all.

Li Xianyun didn't even join the Film and Television Industry Association, if the Film and Television Association was the standard, he could only be regarded as an outsider now.

Jiang Yuanyuan said: "But the Film and Television Association can complain to a higher level." In any case, it is a fact that the existence of Yisheng has indeed caused the survival of many practitioners in the industry to decline. ”

"Cut, the inevitability of changes in the industry. While some jobs are being lost, new ones will be created. The emergence of online shopping has led to a recession in the physical industry, why didn't they kill Mr. Ma? Mr. Ma has a big mouth, and he has created millions of jobs, not to mention how many jobs he has eliminated. ”

"Teacher Ma has not been doing well lately."

"But not for this reason, but because he floated and was delusional...... Forget it, don't mention him, let them make trouble, we just need to be ourselves. ”

Jiang Yuanyuan thought for a while and said, "Boss." ”

"How?"

"I think I still have to remind you that you are a little weak in the upper circle. And some of them, some of them have some energy. ”

Li Xianyun smiled: "You're right, Yuanyuan." But the reason why I dare not touch this block is because I know that this is a double-edged sword, which can hurt others as well as myself. And I'm ...... I'm sure I'll solve these problems my way. ”
