It’s not like there are no good directors and screenwriters in China.
In the 1980s and 1990s, many of Hong Kong's films became popular internationally.
It is still impossible to replicate the miracle of Chinese-language films at that time.
But if you think about it carefully, the directors and screenwriters who created those arts are still alive today.
A large number of people are still engaged in related jobs in the industry.
They were able to create such exquisite products before, but not now?
Is it because they are not good at it or is there a change within the industry? Regarding this question, Zhao Chen took the information sent by members of the secretarial team and compared it carefully.
Most of the current film investments are from major Internet companies.
It even cooperates with the online video department of a major Internet company.
Secondly, investors from major Internet companies have a very bad habit of meddling in the content of film and television dramas.
The script comes second.
When making investments, these investors will even evaluate the cast based on the specific traffic popularity of traffic stars. Some scripts are very good, but the basic skills of the actors are not in place. Film and television works lack the participation of real veteran actors, and the traffic is low.
, but the movie failed.
The problem with casting is far less serious than the problem with subject matter.
More often than not, investors will arbitrarily touch upon the core values of film and television dramas.
In today's TV dramas, materialism and money worship are even present... interspersed with the rules of the capital market, and there is even a tendency to maliciously guide the audience's behavior.
There is no simplicity, it is all routine.
They are all a combination of capital interests.
In such an environment, it must be extremely difficult to produce good works.
But until now, film investment can still make large-scale and long-term profits, so it must take such a path of capital participation.
It is even difficult to get investment through other means.
High-quality movies in recent years have vaguely reported a shortage of investment in the initial investment stage.
Doesn’t capital understand what a good movie is?
No, they just want the movie to be presented according to the theme they want. The recent quality works may be explained from one aspect as the absence of big hands behind the scenes.
So Hua Chen was chased by others and wanted to cooperate.
Zhao Chen did not make his fortune from the Internet.
Strictly speaking, he is a jewelry merchant.
Perhaps because money is relatively easy to come by, he still wants to work harder to create more high-quality film works for the country when investing in movies.
The hotel for the meeting arrived.
Chen Yanlan and Zhang Li were already waiting in the hotel lobby.
Zhang Li knew Zhao Chen's habits and directly chose this empty place in the hotel lobby.
High efficiency, high specifications, no need for any shady transactions hidden under the table.
Zhao Chen especially likes to sit by the window and discuss work.
Not long after, customers arrived, domestically famous and even world-famous film artists.
Ang Lee and Stephen Chow, as well as several accompanying artists whom Zhao Chen did not recognize.
So far, Zhao Chen is worth about 500 billion.
If it gets publicized in China, you can still have a place in the industry.
Among the people he came into contact with, he felt that heavyweight players were beginning to appear.
Zhao Chen didn't have long to prepare for this afternoon's meeting.
This is what the guest came up with after finalizing the script in the morning and proposed establishing a long-term cooperative relationship with Huachen to maintain a relatively long-term period of film creation and output.
When the meeting began, Zhao Chen stood up and took the initiative to greet him.
He doesn't really regard these people in front of him as just film artists. More importantly, he also knows that these great directors and screenwriters are also businessmen.
After sitting down, Zhao Chen didn't speak yet.
Zhang Li opened her mouth to introduce Zhao Chen to the visitors: founder of Huachen Group, president of Bulgari Group and Cartier Group, and top executive officer of pure gold product projects.
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
After he realized what she said, he immediately focused his attention on Zhao Chen again.
Maybe Bulgari and Cartier are a little far away from them, but they haven't heard of it. Even when it comes to pure gold, they have realized that they recognize the secretary sitting behind Zhao Chen, who seems to be this year's Nobel Prize winner.
Winner....
"..."
I couldn't react at the moment.
After reacting, they immediately started another round of handshakes and pleasantries.
Zhao Chen was actually not used to this kind of business cooperation before revealing his identity.
But I also feel that when working with others, the most important thing is to tell them that I am not a brat, and I am not a brat who can be bullied.
Chen Yanlan is actually quite cool sitting behind her.
He can be considered an internationally renowned figure this year. Even in the next few decades, Chen Yanlan will be considered a tycoon in the field of scientific research in China.
Looking at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, this group of collaborators finally paid attention to Zhao Chen again and again.
They had never seen such an old man with a hidden identity, but they had never seen him so young.
Young and promising.
They thought that today's conversation in the fringe area of such a hotel lobby would mean that they were not taken seriously or respected, but after they really got in touch with Zhao Chen, they found that Zhao Chen didn't have anything to say, and was very pragmatic and efficient.
The attitude and structure we should have, this young man said it was okay without blinking an eye.
It's very neat. After both parties confirm the most basic direction of business cooperation, they immediately talk about the advantages that both parties can provide in the long term, whether it is script directing or financial investment.
Do both parties want to get involved in private affairs?
You introduce your juniors in the entertainment industry into the movie casting process, and I infiltrate the ideas that my corporate capital wants to convey to the audience into the theme of the movie. We each have our own private jobs and turn a good movie into a piece of shit.
These situations were denied by Zhao Chen and will be written into the contract in the future.
After these requirements are agreed upon, let’s talk about investment, output, and profit distribution.
Zhao Chen usually doesn't like wrangling or subtle rhetoric.
Basically, you can speak freely, and you can say whatever you want. As long as you don't say nonsense and the facts are true, you can use it as a bargaining chip to fight for your own interests in business negotiations.
This time, the super secretarial team sat aside to listen and provide reference opinions.
The two great directors did not expect Zhao Chen to be so talkative and fluent, and even called him Lei Ling Fengxing.
At the end of the negotiation, cooperation was basically confirmed.
In the middle of the talks, both sides held small meetings.
The Super Secretariat Group has repeatedly suggested that the media company should open a film company or film studio under the media company.
Chen Yanlan was also on the side to introduce the basic situation.
Huayi Brothers, Emperor Entertainment, Media Asia, Enlight Media...
The competition is fierce, and co-productions are common.
The entire industry is in a mess with these studios, and the water is deep.
However, after repeated suggestions from the super secretarial team, Zhao Chen still focused on thinking about whether to build a unique studio that could become bigger and stronger.
This is critical.
When the group of partners were still discussing specific matters of cooperation.
Zhao Chen and his secretaries are already thinking about the development prospects of the industry.
