Zhang Feng's eyes were very sincere, as if he didn't know anything about it. He thought about it and felt that there should be no hiding between husband and wife, especially on such a big matter.
So, he confessed: "Since there is no problem on your side, I am relieved. Don't you know, didn't I say before that Jingjing also wanted to invest and partner with us? As a result, her investment has not increased yet."
Come in, I'm not in a hurry, the company's start-up capital is fully sufficient now."
"I'm just worried about the problems behind it. You see, although Han Jingjing has some money, she is obviously not rich enough to invest in the company. So, I think that when she said she wanted to invest before, she must have planned to ask her brother for it.
Money, as a result, for some unknown reason, the funds were not in place.”
"It doesn't matter to me whether she invests or not. What I care about is your movie. Your movie requires much more investment than what Jingjing promised before. For Jingjing, Boss Han is holding back such a small amount of money. I
I’m worried that there is also a problem with funding for the new film.”
"I see." Zhang Feng raised his hand, pinched Wu Di's face, and said affectionately: "Well, don't worry, the movie is running normally. I think Boss Han did it on purpose."
"Haven't their brother and sister always been on bad terms? Perhaps, he is still waiting for Jingjing to bow to him and beg him a few more times."
"Otherwise, from his perspective, our company does not have much investment value, so he does not want to participate."
Wu Di nodded, what Zhang Feng said actually made some sense.
He was not targeting the first statement, which was too common. If Han Jing thought this way, then it would eventually be solved.
As an elder brother, he can really fight with his sister and deliberately make things difficult for her.
But, what if it’s the second one?
That would not be easy to handle.
It seems that it is better not to have too high expectations for Jingjing. Han Jing started his career as an investor and must have his own standards for measuring various investment projects. Maybe he is not optimistic about it?
"What were you talking about just now?" After going around and around, some topics just couldn't be avoided. So, after going around in a few circles, Wu Di came back again.
However, if you know how to go around, can’t I not go around?
Zhang Feng made a determined decision and gritted his teeth, refusing to disclose it. As a result, Wu Di became even more curious.
For Zhang Feng to be able to keep such a secret is definitely a big deal!
What is going on?
What does it have to do with him?
"You, please stop asking. Anyway, it's not a bad thing for you. Just remember this."
"Anyway, during this period of time, you should focus on the operation of the company. Don't leave everything to Da Fei. It's not that I don't trust him, but his ability is just that. Don't forget that this
Among them are my investments. When I start a company, I don’t just talk about it casually. I must make it bigger and stronger.”
"You don't want to ignore everything and be a dumpster. In the end, you will make me lose money."
You see, before others could show off to Wu Di as an investor, Qin Qin’s wife was the first to show off her power. So, he could only put away his questions and nod in agreement.
Starting a company is of course important, but until there is no big project, you really don’t need to invest too much energy.
Although it is a film company and looks more formal than an agency, it is still a company in the entertainment field after all.
Unlike those companies that are entities, as long as the company is operating, it must make a name for itself every day and continue to operate.
Even if there are no big projects, it is the same.
Film companies are different, for example, the one opened by Wu Di. Because the most important artist, Ms. Sisi, has not signed a contract yet, many businesses around her have not yet started. It is precisely because she has not signed a contract yet.
, many things in the company are still pending.
In the past, Wu Di's personal work could be handled clearly by only two or three staff members. Now, even if it is affiliated with the company, it does not require too much manpower.
In other parts, such as film production, Zhang Feng has transferred some rights, allowing Wu Di to participate in the company's distribution.
In fact, this is also a benefit that Zhang Feng gave to her husband Qinqin.
Originally, it had been agreed upon that Han Jing Company would be the main distributor of this film. As a film with a medium level of investment, it was enough to have such a distributor.
Wu Di's company is newly opened, and he has no previous experience in publishing and distribution. Naturally, his funds cannot be compared with Boss Han's.
Strictly speaking, he could not obtain the distribution rights of this film at all, but relying on nepotism, Wu Di still obtained the position of producer.
Of course, this is just a test work by the company, and it is impossible to invest a large amount of money. Even if he wanted to invest, Wu Di didn't have the money.
Therefore, even if the movie sells well by then, Wu Di's company will not be able to get too much profit.
What Wu Di is interested in is not the future earnings. What he has to do now is to make the company run as much as possible.
Everyone in the company has work to do.
After all, it is now a company, and its positioning is completely different from the original personal studio, and its scale has expanded several times.
Originally, given Wu Di's popularity, his workload alone was enough to keep several staff busy.
However, now that we are running a company, relying solely on Wu Di's work is not enough. Therefore, it is the right thing to participate in the distribution of some movies.
Where to find resources?
Looking around, Zhang Feng was the only one he could win over, and he was ready. For the sake of the company, he acted shamelessly.
Naturally, Wu Di didn't consider other parts.
It's just that it can't go so smoothly.
With the strength of the company, it currently does not have the ability to independently produce a movie. Moreover, no team believes that they can independently produce a movie.
Unless it's a very small production.
Maze is quite suitable, but the filming has been completed, the publishing license has been issued, and it has been submitted to film festivals. Wu Di's company has just started to open, and it can no longer keep up.
Looking for other movies, the production is too small and the director's ability is not guaranteed, Wu Di is not willing to try it.
It’s not that I’m worried that the movie won’t be able to make money, or even that it won’t be able to recoup the investment. Those are just trivial matters. During the initial construction of the company, some economic losses are necessary and unavoidable.
What Wu Di is worried about is the quality of the movie.
As a film company that is new to the world, he can make less money, but he cannot invest in bad movies as soon as he gets started.
For senior companies, this may not be a big deal. They have deep experience and strong blood, and can withstand the difficulties of public opinion.
But for a small company, if it casts the wrong movie, its reputation will be very damaged.
Comparing the two, it is safer to invest in Zhang Feng's movie and take a ride on it, although it is relatively shameless.
But after all, it is my own family, so the harm will not be serious.
Of course, although Zhang Feng's film background has been prepared, her film has not yet started filming. As the last member of the investment company, there is really not much that Wu Di can do.
All we can do is wait quietly.
It is unrealistic to wait for big things to happen. Now that the company has opened, it is necessary to find jobs for subordinates.
So Wu Di asked Da Fei to find some scripts written by new directors and screen them to see if there were any that could help.
what? What?
Boss Wu, who is just starting out, actually boasts that he wants to invest in movies? He is overestimating his abilities!
Is the little money in his pocket enough?
hehe!
Don't underestimate Boss Wu. Although Boss Wu has little money and is stingy, he is really qualified to invest in a movie.
Didn’t you see that even ten years later, the newcomer encouragement awards awarded by many film festivals are only one million.
Even if this is a lot, if you can cash it in immediately, you can be said to be a great philanthropist.
If there were one million, what would they do?
What else can it be used for?
Of course it is used for making movies!
Generally speaking, this kind of bonus is awarded to those scripts that are favored by the film festival judges. New directors bring their carefully written scripts to participate in the film festival. If they can get the appreciation of the big bosses, they can get
Start-up capital for movie production.
Like many new directors, the scripts they bring are generally low-cost.
There is no need to plan too much for them, they can't even make a medium-sized movie.
And when they came to the film festival, they basically didn’t have any ambitious goals. If they could raise one million, it would be a great thing for them!
They will hold this million in their hands, spend it carefully and carefully, and if they can, they can even dig it out bit by bit.
In other words, if saved, one million would be enough to create a small-cost masterpiece. Of course, under normal circumstances, such a small amount of money would certainly not be enough to complete a movie.
When the movie was finally completed, it was natural that some compromises had to be made in other areas.
The simplest thing is, for example, if the cast of actors is only one million, then as a director, the actors you can invite will definitely not be famous.
For those big stars who earn millions of dollars in salary, your money is not enough to cover their salary! Unless they like the script and are willing to reduce their salary, it is impossible to cooperate with them.
Fortunately, generally speaking, there are only one million small directors, and they don't have the luxury of inviting those A-list stars.
It would be fine to find some experienced and famous actors who don't usually have any roles, and then bring in a few newcomers, or even amateurs.
Boss Wu's company can still afford one million.
He plans to use this as bait to let Da Fei cast a wide net to find suitable scripts. If there are really qualified newcomers, he doesn't care to support them.
Discovering new talents is originally one of the responsibilities of a film company. Once successful, it can be regarded as a treasure for the company.
It is now popular for many large film companies to add icing on the cake. They always cooperate with big directors who already have a strong position in the industry for mutual benefit.
Major directors are now catching up with the trend of commercial films. If they want to invest more in making bigger productions and realize their ambitions, they must have big investments. Therefore, major directors and big companies basically hit it off immediately.
.
Naturally, Wu Di's small temple cannot accommodate the great directors and cannot produce their films, and he does not want to cheer for the great directors.
Why not take advantage of now to discover new talents who are not yet famous?
For example, is it still unknown now, but has achieved great success ten years later?
Wu Di already has several candidates in mind.
Seeing that Wu Di was well-behaved and no longer asked about the matter, Zhang Feng was also very pleased. She hummed a tune along the way, making people feel that she seemed to be in a better mood than Wu Di.
And this good mood really comes for no reason.
It was rare to see young people going home together, so my wife immediately greeted them, held them in their arms, asked them questions, and actively prepared meals for them.
"What a good day today is. We are back together? It's great. Sit down quickly. Sit down quickly. You young people are too busy. You won't see anyone for several days. This is not good."
"It's right to work hard while you're young, but you can't ignore your personal life. When will you two get your certificates? When will you have your wedding?"
The madam's anxious eyes flickered over Wu Di and Zhang Feng. Zhang Feng drooped his eyelids and planned to pass the test silently.
Zhang Feng didn't express his position, so Wu Di naturally didn't dare to say anything. Madam was very disappointed. With her status, she shouldn't have been so anxious, but she was indeed very anxious.
She is someone who has experienced it, and she understands best the characteristics of young people's three-minute passion. Marriage is actually a matter of enthusiasm and a hot head, and the marriage will be completed. They may be bound together for the rest of their lives.
Many times, the factor that promotes the so-called marriage is not necessarily how deep the relationship is. It just happens that when the time comes, it ends.
However, relationships are the most volatile and do not last long. If you cannot take advantage of the heat of the fight to progress to the next step, it will most likely lead to a period of indifference in the relationship.
By that time, even if they don't break up, they won't be able to get married. Then won't all the previous efforts be in vain?
You know, not only the wife, but also Lao Zhang, who has always had an eccentric temper, is quite satisfied with Wu Di, his prospective son-in-law.
It can be said that Madam took great pains to get Wu Di to remove the word "accurate" as soon as possible. However, the client herself was not anxious at all. As a bystander, even if she was so anxious, it was useless.
"Don't worry, as for Xiao Feng, she has her own arrangements. She has to finish filming this movie no matter what, and she will only marry me if the box office results are good enough. I won't change it.
Besides, the time we spend together is not that much in total, so you are not worried that I will change my mind now, are you?"
The lady's expression changed instantly. She knew clearly that Wu Di was just joking, but she really couldn't hear the word "change of heart."
"Xiao Wu, be careful what you say!"
"Especially if you say something that may be harmful to your relationship, don't say it nonsense and don't keep talking about it. It's very unlucky!"
