Chapter 778 Wu Jianye is to be the rule maker (4000+ chapters~)
Why does Standard Chartered Bank lend money to the new United Cinemas chain in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai?
In fact, Yan Wen personally called Wu Jianye to ask this question.
"First of all, Standard Chartered Bank is a mature commercial bank. It should have its own operating model. Although New United Cinemas has no money, they have land and ready-made theaters. These are good collaterals, so Standard Chartered Bank has no reason to
Don’t lend money to the other party.”
This is what Wu Jianye said in reply to Yan Wen at that time. In fact, Wu Jianye still had a lot of things that he did not tell Yan Wen. Regardless of whether the new United Cinemas chain has the ability to repay the loan, the cinema chains in their hands will not be able to repay the loan in the next few years.
The value will gradually increase a lot. Even if United Cinemas has no money to repay the loan in the end, the land will be enough to make up for Standard Chartered Bank's losses and even make a lot of money.
"If we want to bring those lost moviegoers back to the cinema, Fengge Cinemas alone is not enough." This is what Wu Jianye said in response to Huang Jianxin's question.
"Currently, Fengge Cinema Line has only established its own theaters in 25 cities across the country. Although it is hoped that it will gradually establish its own theater chains in other cities in the future, Fengge Cinema Line alone is still not enough. This is
It’s something that needs more theater companies to get involved to accomplish.”
"As for the issue of New United Cinemas competing with us, it's actually easy to understand. Even if they have the same lottery, if you choose between New United Cinemas and Fengge Cinemas, you have to choose.
Which theater would you choose to go to watch a movie?" Wu Jianye asked at the end of the sermon.
Huang Jianxin said with a smile: "Of course it is our Fengge Cinema. A movie ticket only costs more than two yuan, but the enjoyment in the two places is completely different!"
Huang Jianxin was fully involved in the decoration of the Style Cinema. He also inspected those old cinemas, so he was very confident. Under the same conditions, he would definitely go to the Style Cinema!
Wu Jianye laughed and said: "It's okay for you to think this way, but don't forget that with your current net worth, you naturally won't care about those two yuan, but it doesn't mean that others won't care. People who watch movies are very
At least they are alone, some are in love, and some come as a family, and the total of these is not as simple as two yuan."
Huang Jianxin nodded, "I didn't expect this. The per capita salary now is only three to four hundred yuan, which adds up to several yuan. Indeed, some people will save this money!"
Wu Jianye continued with a smile: "I heard a story about a world-famous performer. Every time he performs, it is hard to get a ticket. Everyone praises his level as the best in the world. This is
A performer thought so too, but once on a whim, the performer put on makeup and ran to the subway station. Like a homeless man, he stood in the underground passage of the subway station and acted like he was playing on the stage.
Just like that, I performed my most proud piece, what do you think the result will be?"
Huang Jianxin thought for a moment and said: "There must be a lot of spectators around!"
Wu Jianye shook his head and said: "Then you are wrong. In fact, when he was playing, not many people stopped to watch his performance, and he was just like an ordinary performer who made no money in a day.
To a few dollars.”
Huang Jianxin looked at Wu Jianye in surprise, "No way!"
Wu Jianye laughed, why not? He had seen this video.
"In fact, no matter what we do, we need a suitable platform. The same is true for us who make movies. The whole of China is our stage. If there is only Fengge Cinema, a successful theater company, on this stage, it is impossible to cultivate
With the movie-going crowd of an era, only the joint efforts of many theater companies can truly turn movies into a leisure place that ordinary people can think of in their spare time."
China has a vast land and abundant resources, and it is impossible for a Fengge cinema chain to truly bring all the lost movie audiences back to the cinema.
The most important point is that if there are movie theaters but no excellent movies are released, it will be even more impossible.
What Wu Jianye has to do now is to use Tangting Culture's movies and Fengge Cinema to create a path for domestic film studios and private film companies, so that they can see what Tangting Culture can do.
Let the movie make money.
Nowadays, no matter which film studio or film company it is, to be honest, it is all a small project. Only more than one million yuan is invested in a film. How can such a film attract audiences?
This also led to the fact that in the mid-to-late 1990s, China's movie box office records were all held by Hong Kong movies and Hollywood movies.
Now that the changed document (3) has been issued, whether it is a film studio, a film company, or a distribution company, they are all looking for a way to save themselves, and Wu Jianye has now made a way for them to save themselves.
come out.
You can make money by making movies that people like to see. After making money, you can shoot more high-quality movies, improve your own shooting equipment, and a series of other things.
To put it simply and clearly, Wu Jianye wants Tangting Culture and Fengge Cinema to become the guiding light of the domestic film industry, rather than making Tangting Culture the only Chinese film!
Monopolizing this industry may be able to maximize the benefits for Tangting Culture and Fengge Cinema, but only when thousands of flowers bloom can it be truly beneficial to this industry!
After Huang Jianxin heard Wu Jianye's thoughts, he couldn't help but said: "Director Wu, I really didn't expect you to have such a big heart!"
Wu Jianye laughed and said: "It's a bit too ambitious to say that I just hope that Chinese movies can become an important part of our country's cultural output like Hollywood movies!"
Huang Jianxin nodded and said: "I know what to do!"
Wu Jianye shook his head and said with a smile: "No, you don't know yet. Let's develop slowly. Maybe you will really understand it later!"
There were some things Wu Jianye didn't say.
The rise of an industry is bound to be accompanied by bloodshed. Maybe there won't be actual bloodshed, but the degree of tragedy is definitely something that outsiders cannot see.
Wu Jianye is not afraid of legitimate competition. If possible, he will even support some filmmakers or theater chains.
But just like Wu Jianye's character, he allows the film industry to let a hundred flowers bloom, but he absolutely does not allow those who break the rules to stir up trouble in this industry.
What Wu Jianye wants to do is to be the rule-maker for this industry among the people!
This is Wu Jianye's ultimate goal.
Huang Jianxin left Wu Jianye's office and continued to work on the publicity work for the release of "The World of Chu Xing". At this time, Wu Jianye also received a call from China Film Liu Jianshe.
"Junior brother, what are you busy with?"
The establishment of Fengge Cinema Line has allowed Wu Jianye's status in the domestic film industry to soar again. Of course, this status cannot be seen by outsiders, only a few people who know Wu Jianye's details can see it.
Liu Jianshe was one of them. Although he still didn't see everything, it was enough.
So now when Liu Jianshe calls Wu Jianye, his attitude has also changed a lot, and his tone is mainly discussion!
"We are in the company, what are your instructions, senior brother?" Wu Jianye said with a smile. His attitude was always the same. No matter what, China Film Group's future size is still very scary, not to mention that it is a state-owned company.
After all, Wu Jianye is a citizen and China Film Academy is an official.
Wu Jianye needs to maintain a good cooperative relationship with China Film Group. This is the most beneficial thing for Wu Jianye.
"No instructions, how about it? If you have time, let's meet!" Liu Jianshe said with a smile.
"Of course I have time, otherwise I will go to the company to find you?" Wu Jianye asked.
"Forget about the company, I know that a new restaurant has recently opened in Haidian. It serves Sichuan cuisine and it tastes very good. Where should we go?" Liu Jianshe asked Wu Jianye for his opinion.
"I'm fine, let's see you after get off work later!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
"Okay, please remember the address..." After Liu Jianshe said an address, the two hung up the phone.
It was now around three o'clock in the afternoon, and there were still a few hours before get off work. Wu Jianye was not in a hurry to go there. He originally wanted to take advantage of this time to revise the script of the new movie, but Jiang Xiu went to Tangting Culture instead.
come over.
The filming of "Yenjing People in New York" in New York has ended, and Jiang Yun and others have returned to Yanjing.
In fact, the post-production team of Yanjing People in New York is currently working at Tangting Culture and is intensively working on the post-production of "Yenjing People in New York".
During this period, Zheng Xiaolong and Feng Pengtong almost lived in Tangting Culture.
"Why do you have time to come here today?" Wu Jianye asked curiously.
Jiang Xiu was wearing a leather jacket, took off her sunglasses, and said carelessly: "I'm here to ask for money!"
Wu Jianye smiled: "I don't remember that I owe you money!"
Jiang Xiu shook her head, ignored Wu Jianye's joke, and said seriously: "I'm ready, the movie preparations are about to begin!"
Only then did Wu Jianye remember that Jiang Xian was about to officially start filming his first movie "Sunny Days".
It's just that in another time and space, Jiang Xian won't officially film "Sunny Days" until next year. Is he ahead of schedule or something happened?
"How come the actors and actresses for the movie have already been found?" Wu Jianye asked.
Jiang Xiu shook his head and said: "There are screenwriters and directors now, but I haven't found anyone else!"
Wu Jianye: "..."
However, Wu Jianye didn't ask too much. Everyone is in this industry, so they naturally understood that money had already been spent during the preparation stage of the movie. Where did Jiang Qian get the investment promise from Wu Jianye before? Now he is
When we were ready to start shooting, we naturally came to ask for money.
This is also in line with Jiang Yu’s character.
In another time and space, when Jiang Xian was filming "Sunny Days", it was Liu Xiaoqing who helped him connect with Fatty Wen from Xiangjiang to make the investment. Although Fatty Wen invested part of the money at that time, Jiang Xian was burning money at a rate not comparable to that of Wen.
What a fat man can bear alone.
Later, Liu Xiaoqing could only recall that she once mentioned that during the filming of the movie, all Jiang Yu had to do was call her with two words: give her money!
By the way, the two had already broken up at that time.
At this time, although there were some violent breakups between celebrities, most of them were caused by He Ping. Zhang Jianya and Zhang Yu were a couple, and Jiang Yu and Liu Xiaoqing were also a couple.
Later, Liu Xiaoqing went in because of that incident, and Jiang Xiu was the first to see her.
"What's the budget of the movie?" Wu Jianye asked.
"Five million!" Jiang Xiu said directly.
Wu Jianye nodded. According to Jiang Xian's character, the five million dollars spent on this movie would definitely be unaffordable. In fact, although Jiang Xian is not a prolific film director, his money-burning level is definitely high.
He is the top director in the country.
Almost every one of his movies exceeds the budget. Investing in Jiang Xiang's movies requires a big heart.
However, Wu Jianye didn't say much and said with a smile: "Okay, you can contact Huang Jianxin directly about this matter. After signing a contract with the company, the company will immediately set up a special fund depositor for you!"
Every movie has a special fund account for the start of filming. This is a rule of Tangting culture, and even Jiang Xi's movies are no exception!
Jiang Xian never thought about whether it would be appropriate for a new director to invest four or five times more than the current domestic film investment for his first film. Anyway, he was counting on five million, so he asked for five million.
.
"Okay, I'll go find Huang Jianxin now. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. The actors and actresses need to be settled first!" Jiang Xiu hurriedly left again.
Wu Jianye smiled and waved his hands. His understanding of Jiang Xian's character allowed him to know that at this moment, Jiang Xian's head must be filled with his movies and nothing else.
After Jiang Yu left, Wu Jianye continued to revise his script. It was not until 5:30 in the afternoon that Li Na came to remind Wu Jianye that it was almost time.
Sitting in the car, Wu Jianye smiled. Although Yanjing at this time did not want to be as prosperous as later generations, there was one advantage that future generations could not appreciate, and that was no traffic jams!
If in another future life Wu Jianye wanted to go to an appointment, if it was set at six o'clock, it would be considered early to leave at five o'clock!
When Wu Jianye arrived at the hotel, he saw Liu Jianshe waiting for him here.
"I'm sorry, something in the company has been delayed. How can I make you wait for me, senior brother?" Wu Jianye joked.
Liu Jianshe also laughed and said: "Okay, don't be so out of touch with me. Besides, you are not late, I just arrived early!"
After the two exchanged pleasantries, they sat down. Wu Jianye took the lead and said: "Brother, if you come to me this time, you may not have brought me any good news!"
Liu Jianshe smiled: "You guessed it right, it's really not good news!"
