Huasheng Pictures does not believe in this project.
The decision of the venture capital director clearly shows this. Huasheng Pictures internally believes that this project is only worth 30 million investment, which is smaller than the investment of ordinary romance dramas.
This project is doomed.
For a time, the person in charge of the project was very worried.
Yun Qiao went to Huasheng Pictures. As a major shareholder, she listened to the senior management meeting and they would give her an explanation.
A total of seven senior executives attended the meeting, including the venture capital director.
They are unanimously not optimistic about this project.
"'Silver Fox' was promoted by Minister Cheng. He was determined to complete the project despite all opinions."
The senior management told Yun Qiao.
Minister Cheng is from the production department.
The venture capital side also agreed.
Director of the Production Department Bai Liang also endorsed Minister Cheng.
But half a month ago, Minister Cheng was hospitalized for a heart attack. His condition was a bit serious and he might not be able to return to work in the company. He would go directly to recuperate after being discharged from the hospital.
As soon as he left, the project's biggest backer left. In addition, the director of the venture capital department had just been promoted, and the new director's style was even stronger.
Projects that many people are not optimistic about will be stranded without the support of Minister Cheng.
"...I heard that this project has been in preparation for more than two years, and the crew was only recently assembled.
For more than two years, you have not raised any objections, and now you are temporarily breaking the contract.
I have to suspect that you are deliberately targeting me and my artists."
Yun Qiao said.
Venture Capital Director: “…”
You think too highly of yourself, and you don't have that much influence.
"If it wasn't directed at me, it was just a simple office feud."
Yun Qiao said, "My artist is in this project, and the project that is about to take shape has a sudden change, which has a great impact on her. You also know that the film industry cares about luck."
All large investments require caution.
Wen Luyao's last big-budget movie couldn't be released because Hu Xiaochen was a prostitute. Some people slandered Wen Luyao behind her back and said she was a bad actor.
If it weren't for "Old Street" with its small talent and her acting skills confirmed by the Golden Film Award for Best Supporting Actress, Wen Luyao would never have received the 400 million investment pie.
Okay, now this cake needs to be battered, but in the future I’m afraid it will be anything.
Wen Luyao's status is not stable enough.
"Miss Yun, we made this decision based on our own considerations.
You are the major shareholder and we have to be responsible for your money."
The venture capital director said, “This project is impossible to make money, and there is no successful precedent in the market.
We are a private production, not a state-owned production."
Only state-owned producers would make movies like this that have a little bit of patriotic sentiment but don't make money, as a lesson.
Private studios are all about money.
Yun Qiao: "I'm not qualified to intervene in the company's operations. You all have more experience than me.
But I didn't mess around, you have to admit that hearing about Lu Yao will be affected, right?"
Venture Capital Director: "We try our best to make up for Miss Wen. There is a romantic drama recently..."
Yun Qiao: “I don’t want to change projects.
I just want to ask, if I invest privately to fill the funding gap, how does this work?”
Several people present were slightly stunned.
Yun Qiao added: "Don't you welcome private investment?
All I have is cash.
I know that the company’s investment money will be given in batches, and the producer still needs to urge me again and again.
My private investment is different, it is done directly.”
The venture capital director sat upright for a few minutes.
No one doesn't want money.
"Miss Yun, do you have any needs?"
"The movie is being edited and I need to take care of it.
Once it doesn't meet my requirements, it has to be cut again."
Yun Qiao said.
Venture Capital Director: “You want the rights to edit the film?
I'm afraid this won't work.
We are more experienced.”
"Your investment has dropped sharply, and 70% to 80% of outside investment will be withdrawn. What I will replace is not 200 million, but nearly 400 million."
Yun Qiao said calmly.
Venture Capital Director: “…”
No one asked you to fill in!
"…Except for editing rights?"
Others asked, "Where does the movie rights belong?"
"I don't want the film rights, the copyright and publicity belong to you.
For my investment, you just need to distribute the money to me according to the normal investment process."
