"Ah, Li Pictures offered a guarantee of 400 million?"
Wang Baoqiang looked at Song Ze in disbelief, then his face lit up with joy.
Such business negotiation matters are always handled by agents, which separates the parties from the film and television companies and allows both parties to have a step down so that they will not be unhappy because of a project.
Song Ze is also very happy. Artists and managers are one, and both prosper and lose.
If Wang Baoqiang can become a director, join the ranks of capital, and make the company bigger, then he will be the CEO of a film and television company in the future.
Although Wang Baoqiang has now established several film and television companies, they are not very popular. They need channels but no channels, and they need resources but no resources. They are not much better than an empty shell.
Becoming a CEO and marrying Bai Fumei are just around the corner.
Song Ze suppressed his inner excitement and said, "Baoqiang, this is just the first round of quotations. I am sure that the final price will be at least 600 million, and other companies and Han and Tang will definitely increase their prices. We will definitely get a good price this time."
!”
Speaking of the Han and Tang Dynasties, Wang Baoqiang was a little worried.
"But Lao Song, we have just negotiated with Director Tang, and now we are negotiating with other companies, will we offend Director Tang?"
Hantang Media has now become the largest giant in the film and television industry, and it is no longer appropriate to call it a giant. The word oligarch is almost the same.
Movies, TV, variety shows, video websites, theaters, online terminals, offline promotions, online marketing, TV station connections, advertising, local media networks laid out across the country, TV tv clients
It can be said that the overall performance has completely surpassed any other film and television company, and even China Film Group is not enough to watch it.
Moreover, there are three film and television companies with a market value of over 10 billion including Great Wall Film and Television and Cultural Investment Holdings, a media giant with a market value of 120 billion, and more than 20 film and television subsidiaries surrounding Hantang Media. This is
A force that is enough to intimidate all actors.
Offending Tang An is no small matter.
Song Ze said, "There is no need to worry about this matter at all. It is just a normal business contact now. Others are offering high prices. Mr. Tang can't blame us."
Seeing that Wang Baoqiang was still hesitant, Song Ze advised, "Baoqiang, you have to understand that in this circle, only those who are valuable have status. Why do several big companies come to you one after another? Why do you offer such a high price?"
The price tag is not because of the value of you."
"Only when you have value can you be valued by others. If you have capital, you can cooperate with big companies on an equal footing. Otherwise, why do you think Mr. Tang is willing to invest in "Havoc in Tianzhu"? If he hadn't taken a fancy to your value, we would have just talked about it.
, and you can’t get a penny of his investment!”
"Even if Director Tang may be a little unhappy this time, he will not show it. Instead, he will win over you because you are valuable. Otherwise, even if you flatter him every day, you will get nothing!"
Song Ze's words make sense. No matter what, being strong is fundamental.
It's just that he selectively forgot some things.
Zhao Wei also had some value in "囧", but because he offended Tang An, he was replaced in one sentence.
Xu Zheng's "囧囧" was a box office hit, but it's worth nothing.
But even so, when Xu Zheng started to have other ideas, Tang An kicked him out of the next "囧" series with just one sentence, changed the name, changed the director, and changed the actors.
Wang Baoqiang, who was confused by the interests, subconsciously did not think of these things. Song Ze's words gave him an excuse to convince himself.
Other companies offered higher prices, so Tang An had no reason to let himself give up more benefits. Wang Baoqiang immediately felt relieved.
Song Ze added, "We haven't decided which company to cooperate with yet. We'd better find a producer ourselves so as not to be controlled by others later. We should also set up the crew as soon as possible and try to start as early as possible."
Wang Baoqiang asked strangely, "Why are you so anxious?"
Song Ze explained, "Several major companies are now vying to cooperate because Xu Zheng, Zhao Wei, Deng Chao, and Wu Jing, who previously transitioned from actors to directors, were all box office hits, and there will definitely be more in the future. If you want to make a fortune, there will inevitably be a lot of bad movies released. If you release it late, the audience may be affected by those bad movies and the audience will resist and not believe in the movies made by the actors."
Wang Baoqiang suddenly realized that it was right, even He Jiong was involved in making a movie, so there was no need to think that it would definitely be a bad movie.
It would be bad if these actors and hosts made too many bad movies and disgusted the audience, and then affected my own movie.
However, regarding the matter of finding a supervisor, Wang Baoqiang shook his head and said seriously, "This is my first time as a director, and I want to make the film exactly according to my own ideas. This time, I won't ask for a supervisor. I will do everything myself and do whatever I want." I can shoot whatever I want with my character, no matter the technique or the performance, I want the audience to feel my sincere way."
Worri!
Song Ze was speechless. He didn't expect Wang Baoqiang to suddenly have this idea.
A common problem for newcomers, whether they are directors or screenwriters, many newcomers think this way.
I want to express my inner xx and let the audience see xx.
I have a terrible thought. If this first step of the film is messed up, Wang Baoqiang's career as a director will be even more difficult.
Looking at Wang Baoqiang's serious face and mysterious confidence, although Song Ze had a big headache, he still had to give some advice. After all, he was on the street and he was not in a good mood.
"Bao Qiang, making a movie is not that simple, and there are hundreds of people on a crew, and there are too many things to do. You can't focus on the little things. Filming is the most important thing. You are not only the director, but also the starring role.
And when the time comes, you will have to go abroad, which will be more troublesome. Finding a producer to help you control the entire crew will also be beneficial to your filming, as long as you don't let him interfere with your filming."
Song Ze persuaded him earnestly. He couldn't imagine how an actor who had never studied directing, or even acting, let alone photography or art, could control the entire crew and make a good movie. It will be a disaster.
But Wang Baoqiang said with confidence, "Old Song, do you think Director Tang has seen too much?"
"No, why are you talking about this?" Song Ze didn't know why.
"That's right!"
"If you look at the movies that Mr. Tang watched before, the box office is higher than the last one. The lowest one, "囧囧", has 800 million. A military movie like "Wolf Warrior" can also sell 800 million."
Wang Baoqiang became a little excited when he said, "Director Tang decided to invest in my film as soon as he read the script without saying a word. He must be very serious about it, otherwise how could he be so decisive, and Li is willing to provide a guarantee of 400 million, Could it be that they are blind?"
"Since Director Tang values him, what kind of producer do we need? The few movies that Director Tang has produced are just using his name and not doing anything, that is, they are just riding on Director Tang's reputation. If we invite a producer back, it would be too big a name.
, the crew has become his, and it will be of no use if he is not well-known."
When Wang Baoqiang said this, Song Ze felt that this was indeed true.
Will the movie Tang An likes fail?
Definitely not!
If it doesn’t end then, why are you still worrying so much?
Although they did not hire a supervisor, Wang Baoqiang and Song Ze decided to set up the crew as soon as possible, and Song Ze took care of it himself.
The fact that Ah Li gave Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang a guaranteed high price of 400 million for their two films from the beginning quickly spread to the ears of major companies.
The first round of quotations was only 400 million. Such behavior that disrupted the market also made major companies secretly resentful.
