Chapter 289 Finally wait until the opportunity is all set!)
When asked about his expectations for the new film, Wu Ershan was still conservative and did not directly say that he wanted to catch up with "Painted Skin".
"My goal is a box office of 100 million. I also believe that our crew will not disappoint the audience or Mr. Tang."
He is still self-aware. Apart from the gap in the lineup and Tang An's influence, there should be hope for a box office of 100 million. After all, the leading actor is also Chen Kun.
One hundred million!
As long as he gets 100 million in box office, he will have proven himself and established a firm foothold in the film industry.
Coupled with the sequel to "Painted Skin" which is destined to be successful, he will be able to step into the ranks of top directors.
Happiness comes so easily!
After the press conference, Tang An personally escorted Wu Ershan and the crew to the bus.
"Director Wu, I wish you a smooth shooting and I will celebrate your success when you come back!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Tang, I won't let you down."
Wu Ershan looked at Tang An sincerely. Although he was a little depressed about the credit for "Painted Skin" to Tang An, it did not affect his gratitude.
If it weren't for Tang An, he would still be worrying about the investment in "The Sword Sees Laughter", let alone the prospect of becoming a top director.
"Of course I believe this. If you have any time, call me and Mr. Xu at any time and we will help you solve it immediately!"
Chen Kun also thanked Tang An, "Mr. Tang, thank you."
The huge hit of "Painted Skin" not only made him one of the top Mesozoic actors in China, but Bernard also contacted him and invited him and Zhao Wei to star in a period blockbuster. After filming "The Sword Sees Laughter", the project can start.
Then there was "Painted Skin 2". The leading male role in these four consecutive movies can be said to be attributed to Tang An.
The resources in the past two years have been much greater than those in the past few years combined.
Even if Longxinda's entire company devoted all its efforts, there was still no way to help him win it.
"You don't need to thank me, you earned it all by yourself. The harder you work, the more opportunities you will have in the future!"
Tang An patted Chen Kun on the arm and asked him to get in the car.
Back to the hotel, I asked for a private room and had a sumptuous lunch with Xu Manyun.
"Don't worry about the filming of "Swordsman Sees Laughter". Just supervise the accounts and let Wu Ershan practice."
Tang An swallowed a quail egg in one bite. The quail egg roast pork in this hotel is wrong... the menu says Yuan Bao Pork, and it tastes pretty good.
The meat is also delicious, just such a big piece, you can swallow it in one bite.
Last month, Yang Wenjun treated himself to a meal to attract some investment. The braised pork he ordered was still salty, and he didn’t know where to find the chef. Isn’t this a lie?
"Do you want to delegate all the power to him?" Xu Manyun asked.
"If you don't delegate power, can you handle it? There are still two movies to be released. I believe in his ability. He already has experience in one movie, so he can do it well."
Tang An didn't stop talking as he picked up three fried shrimp segments and stuffed them into his mouth.
"If you give him the power, what if he is poached by others?" Xu Manyun was still a little worried.
Tang An smiled, put down the elbow in his hand, and wiped his mouth.
"Wu Ershan has not signed a contract with us. There is no such thing as poaching him or not."
"If you show your ability, people will naturally come to win over you. As long as we give enough profits, we don't have to worry about this. It's never the contract that binds people, it's only the interests."
"Rather than letting him have his hands tied, it's better to give him maximum authority."
Xu Manyun nodded, no longer questioning, and then talked about another thing.
"I have completed the evaluation of Yang Wenjun's project, and I have also met with several other investors of the TV series. One of the companies has a state-owned background and is owned by Xinhua Bookstore. It can be invested. It should not be difficult to sell it to the TV station."
: "Then vote, you decide for yourself."
Tang An nodded. Yang Wenjun treated him to a meal last month. He was preparing a TV series and still had a shortfall in funds, so he wanted to ask for his help.
Although I believed in his ability and only needed three to four million, I still asked him to send the script and all the project information so that Xu Manyun could make a comprehensive assessment.
Moreover, Tang An also discovered an actress with good acting skills and asked her to play Meng Xiaojun's wife Liangqin.
The scene lasted less than two minutes, and after these two minutes of scene, Meng Xiaojun made up his mind to return to China.
The image of a strong, hard-working, hard-working, gentle and dignified wife is in sharp contrast to Su Mei.
She also received the same education and suffered in the United States, but Liangqin has always believed in her lover and has always supported him firmly. She knows how to give and sacrifice. Meng Xiaojun held her finger in the rental house, which really resonated with people.
.
"Then I'll ask them to sign a contract in two days." Xu Manyun nodded and took note.
"By the way, the share of "Now You See Me" will be announced in about a week. It will be 67.5 million in total. I won't be here by then, so you can keep some of the promotional fees for "Journey to Hell" and continue to buy a house."
"Now I have bought 110 houses, mortgaged 55 houses, and owe 47.5 million yuan in bank loans." Xu Man Yunhui reported.
"The money I owe to the bank, and the box office share of "Painted Skin" is about 40 million, which should be paid in more than a month. I'm talking about other copyrights with Yu Dong, and we can also buy some houses together, so as to save depreciation."
Buying 100 houses at one time is nothing in the capital. Nowadays, communities are being built everywhere. The most indispensable thing is houses, as long as you have money.
The best thing to sell is also a house, and a lot of people will buy it, as long as the price is right.
"I'll make a note of it, and I'll find someone to do it when the time comes." Xu Manyun nodded.
"Yu Dong has already started negotiating with Huayi. I estimate that if everything goes well, we should be able to confirm it before the Chinese New Year. In another year at most, Huayi Group will be almost negative, and I can take action by then."
Tang An sighed, finally waiting for the opportunity.
It is extremely difficult these days to invest in a company with film and television production, distribution, and promotion capabilities, let alone hold a controlling stake.
Tang An still looks down on someone like Long Xinda.
Take over 50% of the shares from Poly and independently integrate companies such as Poly Culture, Shenlong Pictures, and Forbidden City Shanlian.
The money should be enough. Now I have 110 houses + 115 million, and I owe the bank 47 million. If I can break the 100 million, I can get back more than 30 million.
Next year, the mainland box office of "The Chinese Partner" will be 30 to 40 million, and the box office of "The Sword and the Sword" will be 10 million.
It is almost possible to raise more than 250 million in cash. If it fails, "Painted Skin 2" and "囧囧" are also being filmed at that time. If they are mortgaged by the bank, they can get a loan of at least 100 million.
Taking a closer look at some of the companies that have emerged in later generations, they are either only engaged in distribution, or they are only engaged in film and television production and artist management. There are very few companies that are involved in all aspects.
"Poly Group is not short of money. What if they have no intention of selling their shares?"
"I have my own way of doing this."
Mr. Tang An couldn’t have decided that Poly would sell Huayi’s shares at the end of 2009.
"Actually, what I'm worried about is their Poly Wanhe cinema chain. It's probably impossible to hold a controlling stake in it."
"We don't have enough funds to open 50 cinemas, and most of the stores are owned by Poly." Xu Manyun agreed.
Don't Tang An know this truth? It's not easy to be a theater chain.
New film and television companies are constantly emerging in the entertainment industry, but the theater chains are still the same. Only one Wanda has emerged.
But Wanda is in the real estate business. There are buildings and Wanda Plazas all over the country. It couldn’t be easier to build a theater chain.
Maybe Poly can be persuaded to cooperate together. Now cinemas have become standard supporting facilities in communities and commercial streets...
PS: Just take a look at the business part, don’t take it too seriously ^_^
