Chapter 132 You contribute the money and I contribute the effort
After mentioning the reorganization of the radio and television department, Feng Xiaoning switched the topic back to "Closed Loop": "Because of "Closed Loop", I have been thinking a lot about time and space related things recently. I remember that there was a film in the United States a few years ago.
The movie is called "Back to the Future," and the protagonist in it goes back to the past to change the future and the past, but the structure of the movie is a bit like the theory of parallel time and space."
Jimmy smiled and said: "Yes, that's right. In fact, the United States has produced many movies about time and space in recent years, such as "Terminator", the second part was just released last year. There is also a bit of "Terminator" in the first part of this movie.
"Closed Loop" means, for example, the person sent to rescue the heroine actually fell in love with the heroine and even made her pregnant with a child."
He Hongwei and the others were all confused about what the heroine was and what the child was. They had never seen the movie and didn't know the background of the story. Naturally, they didn't know what Jimmy was talking about.
Jimmy also realized this at this time and introduced the plot to them again: "In the movie, future robots want to rule mankind, but they are resisted by a human legion. In order to eliminate the legion, the robot mastermind sends a robot back to the past to kill
The mother of the leader of the legion. After hearing the news, the leader of the legion sent his men to rescue his mother. Later, he did not expect that his men fell in love with the mother and became pregnant with a child. This child was the leader of the legion. "
"I'm going to--" After listening to Jimmy's introduction, He Hongwei couldn't help shouting: "You really dare to make foreign movies."
Feng Xiaoning said with a smile: "The domestic translation of this movie is "The Terminator". It has been translated by the Shanghai Translation Factory and will be released in the fall."
"Then I have to go and have a look."
"Actually, I think the second part is better. The first part was very commercial, but it lacked a bit of depth. Of course, this may also be the producer's strategy. After all, if you attract the audience first, everything else will be easy to talk about." Jimmy laughed.
He said.
"We can't think of this kind of blockbusters now. There is still a little bit of hope in the category "Closed Loop"."
Yu Dong thought for a while and said, "Actually, themes like time don't need too many new technologies, such as "One Day"."
"That's true." Feng Xiaoning nodded.
"If Director Feng is interested in this kind of time subject, I happen to have a new plan recently, maybe you will be interested."
"New plan?" Feng Xiaoning suddenly became interested: "Can you tell me about it?"
Yu Dong smiled and said: "It hasn't been written yet."
Feng Xiaoning understood. Since it was not written down, it must be inconvenient to say it. Although there may not be bad people at this table, it is necessary to be on guard against others.
He Hongwei and Yang Peng were also very interested in Dong's new plan, but they knew enough not to ask.
"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news."
Yu Dong nodded, and then everyone temporarily stopped chatting and focused on the table full of food.
…
After dinner, Yu Dong asked Hu Changqing to go back to the house first, while he went to Jimmy's room.
After entering the room, Jimmy asked Yu Dong with a smile: "Dong, the new plan you told Director Feng just now, is it a long story or a short story?"
"Not sure yet, I only have one idea now." Yu Dong said.
"Then do you think there is any hope of cooperating with Director Feng?"
Yu Dong shook his head, "It depends on the situation. There are many constraints for domestic directors who want to make a movie. First of all, it is difficult to obtain funds. As far as I know, when Feng Xiaoning filmed "The Atmosphere Disappears", he only received
It reached 400,000 yuan, and it took a long time. In the beginning, he advanced the money himself."
"What about our own investment?" Jimmy asked: "Didn't it say that the radio and television department is going to be reorganized? Maybe in the future, private individuals can invest in film and television dramas."
"I'm afraid it will be difficult."
In Yu Dong's memory, it will probably be the next century before private capital truly enters the film industry. The environment in recent years has been very complicated, and not just anyone with money can make a movie.
The country introduced several reform plans in succession, and Yu Dong can't remember the specific time points. Anyway, in my impression, private capital seemed to have gradually entered the film industry after Huayi Brothers made endless films.
Yu Dong still remembered that when Zhang Yimou asked him to authorize "Death of a Widow" a few days ago, he specifically explained to himself that the funds he could get now were not much, and he could only give him a few thousand yuan.
If he could delay it for another year or two, he could get Yu Dong a licensing fee of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.
The domestic film environment is developing, but it will take some time.
Hearing Yu Dong's words, Jimmy sighed, "What a pity."
Yu Dong looked at Jimmy, "Don't you have something to tell me?"
"Oh, yes, I almost forgot about the business." Jimmy sat up straight, cheered up and said, "I'm going to open a company here in China, specializing in book operations and author marketing."
"Then go ahead." Yu Dong smiled.
"Dong, you know what I mean. Let's open up the skylight and speak openly. I definitely need your support. And the reason why I want to open this company is to serve you better."
Yu Dong rubbed his arms and felt goosebumps all over the floor. It wasn't the first time that Jimmy called him "Dong", but he still couldn't stand it every time he heard it.
"Since you are speaking openly, don't come to me with such nonsense. I don't know if you want to serve me better, but you definitely want to make more money." Yu Dongxiao
He smiled and continued, "I know what you mean. You should be thinking that since you have become my writer's agent, you might as well bring a few more writers to catch them all. And He Hongwei and Yang Peng
These guys are easy to fool, right?"
Jimmy waved his hands quickly: "That's not what I meant at all. Yes, I want to make money, but I make money with my conscience. If I really want to sign those two young men, then I must praise them, otherwise
How do I make money?”
"That's not necessarily true. You don't have to pay anything when you sign a writer's agent contract. After signing, you can let them go. If they don't become popular, you won't lose anything. If someone becomes popular, you can take a commission from him.
."
Jimmy was stunned, "You really know a lot about brokers... But God can prove that I really didn't think so, otherwise I wouldn't have approached you. This domestic company will give you a large share of the shares. When the time comes,
The decision-making power is all in your hands, and you can do whatever you say."
"Are you so kind as to let me take the majority?"
