"In short, it's not that I don't want to cooperate with them, but I really don't think highly of their project. It feels unreliable. Otherwise, as you said, this is the first time we've met, and because of our relationship with you, Brother Nan,
If I didn’t really feel that it wouldn’t work, I might lose money, how could I not give you face like this!”
After Director Teng left, the three of them chatted in the private room. Su Qing explained all the possible problems in the other party's project, explaining that she was not unhappy with the other party, but that it was really their project that was not working.
Hearing this, Tang Nan's pretty face furrowed her eyebrows. Do you believe it? Su Qing also made sense. Even Wang Fan on the side nodded. But do you believe it? You are a layman, here to pick an expert.
The problem is, I always feel like something is weird.
"real?"
"Of course it's true. You can't let me say that this project is good without conscience, then invest money and watch me lose all my money, right?" Su Qing spread his hands and said innocently.
Among the three, he is the businessman. What does a businessman care about? Profit. If there is no profit, what am I talking about with you?
As for Wang Fan, he is just a director. He attracts investment and makes movies. If the movie becomes popular, he will make money. If the movie is not popular, he will not lose money. There is even a high probability that he will make money.
After all, it is quite rare for a director to bet on his own garage like this time. Generally, directors regard this as a job rather than getting involved as an investor, unless they are very confident in their work or
Just like this time, I will only take the money myself when there is no other way.
As for Tang Nan, she is an artist, a star and an actor.
Most of the time, actors get paid for their films. Does the quality of their work delay others from making money? Of course it doesn't delay them. At most, it affects their own reputation. Of course, signing a gambling agreement does not count.
To put it simply, actors are the ones who are guaranteed to make money. Even if they make bad movies, they should not lose a penny of their dues.
Looking at it this way, isn't he, the investor, the purest businessman among the three?
"That's not right. I was watching Director Wang's project last time. Director Wang didn't say anything at the beginning, but you just said you wanted to invest for fun. How do you explain this?"
Tang Nan was a little bit convinced at first, but suddenly he woke up, and then issued a soul torture, which caught Su Qing off guard.
Indeed, when Wang Fan just mentioned his own situation, he agreed to invest without saying a word. He was not as serious as this time. This comparison can show how much Su Qing has double standards for the two of them.
Already.
Su Qing was also a little embarrassed at this time. Isn't this nonsense? The narrator directly reminded him that this movie would be a big seller and make money. Naturally, he rushed to invest, which was equivalent to encountering a stock that was about to rise sharply.
Any hesitation at all is a sign of disrespect for money, right?
But this time the narration also reminded him, but the result was exactly the opposite. It was a sinkhole. Did he have to rush to buy up a stock that was going to lose money after buying it?
Even Wang Fan looked at him curiously at this time, wanting to know the reason.
In response to this, Su Qing thought for a while and replied: "You don't understand even if I tell you, it's just a feeling. Investing in movies and playing stocks are essentially the same, they are both futures.
Whether you make money or not depends on the future rise and fall of the current goods. I can become a "stock god" by playing stocks. Do you really think that I am a vain person?
I feel that coupled with the problems in his project, I am not optimistic about his project. Of course, others may also be able to make money, but it has no impact on me. After all, I don’t have to make this money.”
Since the explanation doesn't make sense, wouldn't it be better to drag them into the field they are good at and then defeat them with rich experience?
In what area does he have authority? Of course it's stocks. Among other things, Tang Nan has made a lot of money because of his stock-savvy ability. She has to believe it even if she doesn't believe it.
Hearing his words, Tang Nan touched his chin and nodded subconsciously: "It seems to make sense. So you think Director Teng's stock is bad and this project will lose money?"
"Isn't this obvious? If I thought he could make money, wouldn't I just invest? Who would have trouble with money?"
Tang Nan might still have doubts about other things, but she is really convinced about stocks. The most important thing is that in her heart, she still admires Su Qing's vision.
For example, at the time of "The Wandering Earth", there were so many people at the dinner table, but Su Qing took a fancy to this project at a glance and decided to invest. He even wanted to invite others to invest money together, but they all refused.
Since the Chinese New Year, Tang Nan has received messages from friends at the dinner table from time to time, regretting that she did not invest in it.
On the other hand, Wang Fan, although he had heard of the name "Stock God", he had never experienced it personally, so he was not as shocked as Tang Nan.
"Brother, since we are the only ones left, let's talk about business. It will take some time to divide the box office. As for the derivative income, we can't talk about it until it is removed from the shelves. But don't worry, you will definitely be indispensable.
That share.
Secondly, there is the filming plan for the second part. Although I haven’t even written the script yet, I will definitely film it, and when the time comes to invest, I will have to worry about it.” Wang Fan said with a smile.
[The second part of The Wandering Earth, because of sufficient funds, the scenes are more grand, and the actors hired are more famous, it is still a blockbuster movie, the box office is no less than this time, and the ratings are higher and more shocking]
If Su Qing helped him in this movie, then he will repay others in the next movie. If nothing else, in recent days, there are countless people who want to invest in the second movie. Now the investment is millions or tens of millions.
None of them were within his scope of consideration.
You need to have at least tens of millions to participate, and most of them are in units of hundreds of millions.
In addition to the several investors this time, at most one or two more powerful ones will be selected. Of course, Su Qing must have one, and this is understandable.
"No problem. Brother, how much investment do you need when the time comes? Let's see how much share I have. Just ask. If I'm not in the capital, you can come to Brother Nan. She will help me get it done. It just so happens that I established it with her.
A studio dedicated to investment in film and television." Su Qing said with a smile.
If someone offered money, he would naturally not refuse it. Listening to the narration in his mind, Su Qing smiled and agreed.
Sure enough, Director Wang was another turning point in his fate.
Otherwise, everyone with the surname Wang around him is a talented person, including a famous director, a professional photography editor, an anti-drug captain, a dog licker, and worst of all, there is a talent who insists on domestic violence against his wife for two minutes every day.
Woolen cloth.
Then Su Qing spoke again: "But there is one more thing I need your help with, brother. After all, I am an outsider and don't know many directors, so..."
Before he could finish speaking, Wang Fan waved his hand: "What a big deal. Besides, you have mentioned this to me a long time ago. Don't worry, I have already contacted many colleagues. There are many things about directors who make movies these days.
But there are only a few people who pay.”
Hearing this, Su Qing smiled and nodded, but he started to say: "But I still need to trouble you, brother, to tell them that I don't invest in every project. At least the script must pass the test, and then I can meet them in person, that's all."
Confirm it on the spot, if it doesn’t work, we are also dealing with unjust business, let’s not hurt the harmony.”
"Look at what you said. Of course we understand this truth. If we really invest in everything, we will be wasted. Besides, it is common for us people to be rejected when we ask for investment. It is normal. Don't worry, we are all
For those who know the rules, you are just giving them one more option." Wang Fan said with a smile.
Su Qing established this film and television investment company and also asked him to be an informant. This was of great benefit to him. It could at least expand his network and achieve mutual benefit.
"Thank you very much, bro!"
"You're welcome, come on, give it a try"
They were in harmony, but Teng Hua and Wang Tao, who were rejected on the other side, didn't think so.
Only a crisp sound was heard, and a cup was smashed to pieces.
"Damn, that's too much!" Teng Hua said angrily.
Wang Tao on the other side saw this and said cautiously: "Brother Teng, what should we do now?"
"What should we do? Find someone else. I really don't believe it. No one invests in us except him. Nowadays, there are many people who want to invest in science fiction films. He is the only one missing?" Director Teng said angrily, and after thinking for a while, he spoke again:
"How is our crew preparing now?"
"The actors and everything are already in place, and the filming location has been built and ready for filming at any time. If we keep up with the schedule, it will be released in time for the summer season in the middle of this year." Wang Tao said.
It is impossible to start preparations for a movie now. Apart from other things, the construction of the filming location did not happen overnight. It's just that Director Teng was planning to add another one after seeing the popularity of "The Wandering Earth".
Just chips.
"Okay, in that case, let's go back tomorrow and start the machine as quickly as possible. If you invest too much, he won't get much, but if you don't, it won't be much. As long as I let go now, a lot of investment will come to your door.
Without them, I really wouldn’t believe it. Without them, I wouldn’t be able to make a good science fiction film. Book a flight!”
Director Teng said solemnly, feeling very annoyed and angry. Even though Tang Nan had apologized to him, he still had not stabilized.
"That's Xiao Tang's side"
"It's okay. I'll just talk to Xiao Tang when the time comes. Speaking of which, I'll rely on other people's connections to handle the matter this time. Even if it doesn't work, I can't blame them. Why are you pretending to be noble? When it comes to the quality of the movie, I'm really not sure it will surpass "The Wandering Earth"
, but with this cast, I don’t believe we can lose money.”
In fact, he also clearly knows his own strength, but then again, he has no intention of making a better science fiction film than "The Wandering Earth". What he cares about is making money, and being profitable is better than anything else.
He is a typical commercial film director.
"I know Brother Teng, I'll book a flight right away!"
