Chapter 852: Zi Ying'er, I have something to look for you!
"No! You and Mark are going to take 50 million to play around. I have shares in it. I can't watch you fool around."
Hu Bingbing shouted softly, causing everyone to be stunned.
"Fifty million?!"
"...So many? Ye Fan, Lao Lei, what are you going to do?"
"Didn't we, Novin, just open up the Nanjiang market? It's not stable yet. Is the pace of development too fast?"
"Yeah, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so we Nuofan have to take it easy!"
Everyone said something to each other to persuade Ye Fan and Lei Jun to come.
Lei Jun waved his hand and said calmly: "Everyone, everyone, your concerns are normal. I also know that Novan has just opened 100 branches and it is not appropriate to continue to expand in a short period of time.
Therefore, our investment this time is not a Novan direct-operated store, but..."
After saying that, Lei Jun paused for a moment, and he and Ye Fan said in unison: "Movie!"
"Um?!"
Everyone was stunned again.
Emma, from the catering industry to the film and television industry, it’s not something that can be interchanged with homophones!
Fang Yang was a little confused and asked quickly: "Brothers, I am not from the business circle and I don't know the rules of your game.
However, I also know that grabbing a job across industries is comparable to killing one’s father and stealing one’s wife. Why do you want to invest so much, but have to make movies?”
The film field is very special. Unlike other industries, it is not something you can get into just by entering.
An investment of 50 million is enough to create a high-quality movie.
Besides, according to the current month, when the movie is finished filming, it will either be a prime time slot during the National Day or a Spring Festival slot. How can we compete with those big guys?
Everyone here has seen the world, and they know that movies are forbidden to some people and cannot be easily touched.
Ye Fan and Lei Jun ran to touch the tiger's butt without incident. Even if the tiger is not familiar with you and is too lazy to eat you, if you slap it to drive away the fly, you two will be bloody.
Lei Jun and Ye Fan laughed.
"Okay, I know everyone is confused. Come, this is a cooperation invitation from Huayang Film Studio, a subsidiary of China Film Company. Take a look first."
Lei Jun dug out a stack of documents from the drawer and handed them out one by one.
Everyone took it and took a look, and were stunned again.
"Huaying Company?" Yuan Yin was surprised: "Huaying Company actually invited us? Did their boss take the wrong medicine?"
"Yes, why did this good thing happen to us?" Murong Qi was also puzzled.
Lei Jun curled his lips, did you automatically ignore the words behind Huaying Company?
"Look clearly, look clearly, it's not China Film Company, it's a film studio owned by it."
Ye Fan stroked his forehead and said with a helpless smile: "If China Film Company wants to make movies, it's no one else's turn. At our level, we can just follow one of its movie studios to pick up the slack."
"Huayang Film Studio!" Luo Donghai swallowed his saliva and said nonchalantly: "Ye Fan, Lei Jun, it's just a small film studio. With an investment of 50 million, isn't it a bit too big?"
"Not big, not big, I think it's a little bit less." Ye Fan laughed, "Mr. Zhang from Huayang Film Studio is a friend of Lei Jun's father's friend. After several introductions, he found us. It's considered fate."
.”
"Fate sucks. I guess I just couldn't find anyone to invest, so I rushed to see a doctor because of my illness." Yuan Yin rolled his eyes, "Lei Jun, what did you do? It's okay if Ye Fan doesn't understand what's going on here, you're just blind.
Mix it up?"
"Damn, Old Yuan, you know nothing!" Lei Jun scolded back, "If you don't agree with this, Ye Fan and I will pay for it ourselves."
"Is it because movies are so easy to make? Even if someone takes care of it, it doesn't mean you can make money just by making money."
Yuan Yin shook his head and smiled: "Tell me, how many movies are released in China a year, and how many of them can make money? Most of them are wasted!
With an investment of 50 million yuan, if we don’t collect a box office of 100 million to 200 million yuan, can we get our money back?”
Murong Qi echoed: "Indeed! The entire film is expected to cost 80 million, including equipment and actors' remuneration, business taxes, and development funds.
However, since we are a film studio, the cost of equipment is not included at all, which saves a lot of money.
In addition, many actors are from film studios, and their remuneration cannot be calculated according to commercial remuneration on the market.
In other words, for an investment of 80 million, we at Novin will provide 50 million, and their film studio estimates that they only need to spend more than 10 million!
We invested a large portion of the investment, but the revenue from the film studio only accounted for 40%, which is ridiculous!"
Lei Jun responded: "This is what Ye Fan and I are worried about, so we asked everyone to come together to discuss it."
Forty percent is indeed not much. If Novan’s investment cannot even be recovered in the end, wouldn’t it be a loss?
Lei Jun's opinion made everyone think deeply.
In fact, they are also laymen, and some of their opinions are based on hearsay.
Seeing everyone's silence, Ye Fan took out the script with a smile.
"Let's take a look at the movie script first. If you think it's promising and are willing to take the risk, we'll take it together.
If you think the risk is too great, Lei Jun and I won’t force it.”
With that said, Ye Fan sent the script.
Everyone held it in their hands and looked at it for a while. Several boys suddenly gasped and their eyes became bright.
Only Hu Bingbing and Pan Xiaowei were indifferent and didn't seem to notice anything after watching it.
Fang Yang took a long breath after looking at it.
"Martial arts warriors, the love between sons and daughters, I think something is going on!"
"agree."
Luo Donghai looked embarrassed, "I haven't watched the movie, but just reading the synopsis of the script makes my blood boil. But it's better than investing..."
Luo Donghai is now dying in embarrassment and has been looking forward to getting some money in the middle of the year.
But looking at this situation, if Novan makes 50 million, forget about paying dividends in the middle of the year.
What if the movie is released in the second half of the year?
Haha, the dividend at the end of the year will probably not be much.
I’m so worried and confused!
Luo Donghai looked up to the sky and sighed, isn't there the best of both worlds?!
"All investments have risks, and pie in the sky cannot fall into the sky." Yuan Yin pondered for a while, then looked at Ye Fan and Lei Jun, "If you think it is not feasible, I want to buy a share with you."
"Boss, Ye Fan and I will have a great time joining together!" Lei Jun laughed, "Boss, you have opened several Sanda studios, so you must know many masters.
If we can hire some people to help with the show, we can even improve the quality of the group performances several times!"
After hearing this, Yuan Yin's eyes twitched.
Damn, you're waiting for me here!
Indeed, whether it is a gym or a Sanda studio, many members can be invited to do group performances.
But those who can come to Yuanyin Gym to sign up for a membership and have enough time to do group performances are all second-generation brothers from rich and powerful families.
Even if people come to act, they are only there for the lead actor. Who can appreciate the extras?
Ye Fan touched his chin and grinned: "Lei Jun is right. Yuan Yin, please ask in the member group later if anyone wants to be 'elder brother'."
Senior brother...
The corners of Yuan Yin's eyes twitched more violently.
I think back then, Ye Fan used the identity of a mysterious senior brother in order to support Yuan Yin's Sanda studio.
Later, he retired after becoming successful, and the senior brother never appeared again.
Yuan Yin's members often ask him where the senior brother who beat the Sanda Association to the point of defeat has gone.
Yuan Yin was asked several times and was at a loss. He found many ridiculous reasons to excuse members.
For example, my senior brother is about to achieve a breakthrough in cultivation and has gone into seclusion to concentrate on cultivation.
After he came out of seclusion, he had the world in his heart and went to rob the rich and give to the poor.
Now for a movie, Big Brother is going to make a comeback.
Damn it, would a person who robs the rich and give to the poor make a movie? Aren't he afraid that the rich will come to his door?
"No one thinks about it, absolutely no one thinks about it!" Yuan Yin shook his head quickly and said loudly: "I told them, senior brother and master went out to travel around the world, and they won't come back in ten or eight years, so don't fight.
My member’s idea!”
"Look, you're scared." Ye Fan shrugged his shoulders indifferently and smiled at Lei Jun.
"It doesn't have to be so troublesome. Making a movie is not about a boxing match in a ring. The embroidered fists and embroidered legs are good enough, the fighting scenes are shocking enough, and a sufficient amount of martial arts spirit is included to resonate with the audience. That's enough!"
"Yes." Lei Jun nodded and looked at the others: "What do you think?"
"I……"
Except for Yuan Yin, everyone else was in a dilemma.
Ye Fan coughed lightly and dropped a bombshell: "If I said that I would invite Zi Ying'er and several well-known old artists from the film and television industry to join me, do you think it would be a good idea?"
"Um?"
"Zi Ying'er?!"
"A well-known old artist?"
As soon as Ye Fan said these words, everyone was shocked again.
Lei Jun slapped his thigh, "Hey, I forgot about this! Ye Fan, you have a close relationship with Miss Zi Yinger, please contact her quickly!"
"Okay, I'll go right away, and you two can discuss it later."
Ye Fan took out his cell phone, turned around and left the conference room.
He came to his office, lit a cigarette and dialed Zi Ying'er's number.
Zi Ying'er quickly picked up the call. There was a bit of noise on the other end of the phone. It sounded like there were a lot of people.
Ye Fan secretly thought, "This woman has already accepted a movie or TV series, right?"
"Ye Fan, where are you? How can you call me?" Zi Ying'er asked excitedly.
"I'm in Binhai!" Ye Fan smiled, "It's okay. I just miss you. I'll give you a call to say hello."
"Put it down, I don't know you yet?" Zi Ying'er curled her red lips and said with a sweet smile: "Tell me, do you want to trouble me with something else?"
"Oh my god, how can there be a woman as smart and charming as you in the world? Are you going to let other women live?" Ye Fan said with a cheeky smile.
"How disgusting! Come on, I'm going to work soon, don't talk nonsense to me." Zi Ying'er smiled sweetly.
"Okay, okay, let's get down to business." Ye Fan coughed lightly, put out his cigarette, and said, "You... are your schedule... tight these days?"
"Schedule?" Zi Ying'er was stunned, "What, is your Nuofan going to have a commercial performance?"
"No, we at Novan have just expanded and we are not in a hurry for commercial performance." Ye Fan smiled awkwardly, "I just have a good script in hand and want to make a movie to make some extra money. Are you interested in working together?"
