Chapter seven hundred and seventy fifth not bad money
The National Day program is still in full swing, but behind the scenes, invisible to the audience, there is also a smokeless battle going on.
The target of competition is naturally the new films of Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang. After all, there are many successful examples of cross-industry success.
Actors who change careers and become directors are basically successful, and they make a lot of money.
If everyone fails, then it will be up to the two of them to go to major companies one by one and beg for investment.
The contenders are the major companies, and other small companies are also self-aware. In terms of channels and publicity, they are beaten by the big companies in all aspects, and there is no way they can compete.
Some medium-sized companies are also participating in the competition. Although they are not as good as large companies in all aspects, they have the resources they should have and there is no shortage of publicity channels. If they are given better conditions, they may not have no opportunities.
On October 3rd, all major companies contacted the two of them, and Ah Li, a big dog, made a direct offer.
Previously, Ahli obtained the distribution rights of "One Step Away" from Wanda with a guarantee of 1 billion, and "Dear" was also snatched from Guangxian with a guarantee of 500 million.
Ah Li is not short of money at all. This time he is facing two directors who will be blockbusters in the future, and maybe another Xu Zheng.
Ahli Pictures and Fan Luyuan are discussing these two projects with several senior executives of the company.
In fact, there is nothing to discuss. The business trends of Ahli and Tengxun in recent years have been very clear.
Ah Li just buys and buys. If any company develops well and has potential, Ah Li will spend money to buy it, and then use it to divert traffic. As for whether the purchased company is dead or alive, it doesn’t matter. It doesn't matter anymore.
And Tengxun just copied it, and it is the top one in the country in this regard.
Music software, make it yourself.
Browser, do it yourself.
Video website, make it yourself.
Stop and do it yourself.
Dibao needs to acquire other companies to back up its flow, so it can't do it on its own.
But Tengxun has two super traffic entrances, QQ and WeChat. No matter what you do, if you want to access the traffic of QQ and WeChat, you can grow big immediately.
But Tengxun will also buy, buy, buy. If you don’t sell, then Xiao Ma will talk to the core members of your team one by one, and then dig them one by one.
In the end, only you are left alone, singing a song "Liangliang"
Therefore, Fan Luyuan still buys and buys, directly paying a high price to guarantee the bottom.
"Everyone, tell me, what is the appropriate price for these two projects?" Fan Luyuan asked everyone.
President Zhang Wei thought for a while and said, "The cost of these two movies is not high, but 40 million and 70 million are not small. For our first bid, I think the guarantee of 200 million and 250 million is more appropriate. "
Coo Deng Kangming did not agree. He shook his head and said, "We need to win these two projects at the same time. Their current value and status are similar. I think the bids should be the same. Otherwise, if one of the parties knows about it, there will be a gap in their hearts."
Zhang Wei retorted, "The cost difference between the two films is nearly double. If the prices were the same, Wang Baoqiang would definitely have some ideas."
Indeed, if you give the same minimum guarantee, the one with higher investment will earn relatively less.
If the one with the higher investment pays more, the other party will be unhappy.
How to balance it and come up with a number that satisfies both of them? A group of senior executives discussed it for more than ten minutes.
Once you become a director, or you are still a director with great potential, the value is completely different.
If they were just actors and what they were discussing today was their salary, it wouldn't be that troublesome at all.
Even the issue of remuneration does not need to be discussed in a meeting of this standard.
"Okay."
Fan Luyuan, who had been listening to them express their opinions, spoke up.
"Just 400 million guaranteed. Both movies are priced at this price. Mr. Zhang and Mr. Deng, could you please go there in person and negotiate with them."
There is nothing that money cannot solve. If so, then money is not enough.
Fan Luyuan, who has been in charge of Alipay for many years, has always believed in this principle, not to mention that in shopping malls, profit comes first.
The initial offer was a guarantee of 400 million. Even if Wang Baoqiang's film invested 70 million, the profit would be nearly doubled.
However, several senior executives had objections.
"Director Fan, the first offer of 400 million is too high."
Han Han's "See You Again" has a guarantee of 400 million, and Chen Kexin's "Dear" has a guarantee of 500 million, with Zhao Wei and Huang Bo co-starring.
Even the two parts of "Taiping Wheel" are only guaranteed at 800 million.
Guarantees of more than 500 million are rare in the industry. Those worth this price are generally not sold and are issued by oneself.
It's not worth the price, and no one would charge such a high price.
This opening is 400 million, but in the end it will take 500 million to 600 million, or even more guarantees to win it.
Zhang Wei said, "Director Fan, I think 300 million is almost the same, and there is room for negotiation, otherwise the risk will be too high."
"No need!"
Fan Luyuan waved his hand grandly, "I just want Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang to see our sincerity, and also tell other companies not to try to compete with us. Spending more money is nothing."
Giving full play to their own advantages also tells Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang that they are not short of money and cannot do without your benefits.
At the same time, other companies must give up the idea of competing with Ahli and compete for financial resources. None of them are rivals.
Huang Bo, who was promoting the movie with Ning Hao, Xu Zheng and others in Shanghai, received a call from his agent and partner Fang Yun and learned about Ah Li's offer.
The guarantee of 400 million also gave Huang Bo a big jump.
Now that the matter had spread, Huang Bo simply discussed it with his two friends.
Ning Hao sighed when he learned that Huang Bo's new film had just received a script and Ahli offered a guarantee of 400 million.
"400 million guaranteed, this is the first time I've quoted, ah, Li is really rich."
For Huang Bo's first film, someone offered a guarantee of 400 million, and in the end it was at least 500 million or even 600 million.
And Ning Hao, who has been famous for many years, only received a guarantee of 700 million for "Heart Blossom Road", which is really a big gap.
Xu Zheng didn't have much impression. He is now cooperating with Han and Tang Dynasties on an equal footing. For the director, screenwriter, producer and actors of the next film, he can get a combined salary of 40 to 50 million. His own company will invest another share, and Forbidden City Media will get a share. I easily got more than 100 million.
"The guarantee of 400 million is not low, what do you think?" Xu Zheng asked.
Huang Bo shook his head and said, "To be honest, I am very tempted by this number, but I have already agreed with Director Tang, and I have to star in the "Fengshen" series, so let's forget it."
Hantang Media is the largest film and television company in China, so there is no need to make a fuss over this. After all, it is one of the guests on "Extreme Challenge", and this program is made by Potato.
Moreover, we will rarely have to deal with the media of the Han and Tang Dynasties in the future, so we can’t afford to lose big because of small things.
Ning Hao remembered something and asked Huang Bo, "Bozi, I remember that Backlight Film and Television that you invested in 2012 was acquired by Cultural China. Now Cultural China has been acquired by Ahli Films. Do you have any contact with Ahli Pictures?
?”
Huang Bodao said, "At that time, I paid 1.4 million for that company, and I owned 44% of the shares. After it was acquired by Cultural China, the shares were almost diluted. I have nothing to do with Li Pictures."
Xu Zheng interjected, "It's okay even if you have shares in Li Pictures. It's been two years and Li Pictures is still like that. They can't compete with Han and Tang in this industry, and Director Tang is not stingy. Just wait."
Well, Director Tang should send someone to talk to you tomorrow at most."
