The negotiation with He Tiancheng from Hong Kong Star ended on bad terms!
He Tiancheng has a huge appetite, and he seems to be a polite and virtuous corporal, but in fact, he really complies with that sentence, showing courtesy for nothing, committing adultery or stealing!
Li Yi is not the same Li Yi who just made a movie.
Today's Li Yi, not to say he is popular, is definitely different from what he used to be.
Leave the hotel.
On the way, Li Zhenye looked at Li Yi with some worry and some relief.
After a long time, he finally said: "You really don't plan to cooperate with Hong Kong stars?"
"He Tiancheng's appetite is too big. Besides, Hong Kong stars may be very strong in Hong Kong Island, but they may not be able to really distribute movies in the mainland market. They don't have a distribution license themselves. If it is handed over to them, they will not be able to distribute it.
We must be looking for a partner, but we may not be able to provide much in terms of resources." Li Yi shook his head and said.
If He Tiancheng's conditions are met, why doesn't Li Yi directly seek cooperation with a mainland film and television company?
To put it bluntly, when it comes to distribution, Hong Kong stars can at most do it themselves on Hong Kong Island, but in the mainland, they can at best act as middlemen.
Of course, even if this is the case, the strength is indeed much stronger than that of Fanhai Film and Television.
But the problem is that He Tiancheng wants too much.
"Then you are more inclined to cooperate with Oceanwide Film and Television?" Li Zhenye asked with some confusion.
Li Yi shook his head and said: "The filming of the movie has not started yet, but there is no rush for the moment. We still have to see what kind of sincerity Fanhai Film and Television can give. Although Mu Nanxing is young, his father is indeed
One of the major shareholders of Oceanwide Cinemas, so it still depends on how much support he can get."
"If Hong Kong stars fail to cooperate, will they turn against you? Are you not worried at all?" Li Zhenye asked with some worry.
Li Yi shook his head and said: "If we cooperate with Hong Kong stars, competition will still exist! What he wants to target us when the movie is released is nothing more than targeting us in terms of publicity and schedule!"
"And it also depends on who we are cooperating with. If the partner we are cooperating with is strong, so what if he targets us?" Li Yi said disapprovingly.
He really isn't worried about this.
In fact, the conditions of both parties are just different positions, and they are not excessive.
From the perspective of Hong Kong Stars, 30% of the investment quota must be matched with the issuance. They must feel that Li Yi is talking too much and is inflated.
But from Li Yi's point of view, Hong Kong Star may not be the best choice. There is a better choice, why give in?
Another thing is that Li Yi's movies are originally low-cost, so the so-called 30% share is actually, to a certain extent, already a profit, because how much money can a 30% share make?<
/p>
Moreover, there is another point. The other party came to the door before the movie was even approved. This can also prove that Li Yi's new movie is no longer as uninterested as the previous "Gift of Room 7".<
/p>
On the contrary, it is already a piece of fat.
So, he is really not in a hurry.
The main reason why they are willing to give up their investment share is that they hope that their interests can be tied up. Otherwise, it is hard to say how much resources the company that takes over the issuance will be willing to provide.
In fact, Hong Kong stars are not the only companies eyeing Li Yi's new movie.
However, the most urgent one is Mu Nanxing.
It can be said that for those who make movies, especially those who are involved in movie distribution, reputation is actually very important.
The fame here is not the kind of celebrity, but the fame within the circle.
First of all, if you have the strength, have successful cases, and have released big-selling movies, only then will people come to you and seek distribution.
What I’m talking about here is also a relatively reliable project.
Rather than those crooked melons and jujubes that are desperate and cannot be released at all.
Although Fanhai Film and Television has released "The Gift of Room No. 7", it is somewhat famous and has some achievements.
But it's obviously not enough.
Directors like Li Yi are so hard to find.
It can be said that the cooperation between "The Gift of Room No. 7" and Oceanwide Pictures is a "bad match". On the other hand, Li Yi's early reputation caused the film to be filmed, but no one was willing to distribute it. p>
As for distribution companies like Fanhai Film and Television, there are no serious movies that they would be willing to distribute to them.
So we hit it off right away.
But things are different now. Li Yi's "The Gift of Room No. 7" is a success. For the director, a successful previous film brings too many benefits.
For Oceanwide Films, just successfully releasing a movie is not enough.
Because even if you want to expand channels and enhance soft power, you still need a steady stream of good movies to open the way.
Therefore, for Oceanwide Films and Mu Nanxing, Li Yi is obviously the best choice.
For this reason, Mu Nanxing has been in constant contact with Li Yi recently.
However, Li Yi never gave an accurate answer. In the end, he just said that after the movie is produced, we will see the sincerity and strength of Fanhai Film and Television.
In fact, it can be regarded as a release of goodwill to Mu Nanxing.
In Shangyanshang, "The Gift from Room No. 7" can be said to be a win-win cooperation between both parties. It can't be said about who is supporting whom, and naturally it can't be said to be a good horse.
Li Yi's willingness to give Fanhai Film and Television a chance is already very interesting.
As for if the strength is not enough and the cooperation is not successful in the end, it is also Mu Nanxing's own fault.
......
The first preparatory meeting for "Mom Love Me Again" was held in Li Yi's studio.
The attendees included Li Yi’s father Li Zhenye, mother Yi Lingling, and deputy director Zhuo Yixiong.
"Director Zhuo, you come first." Li Yi looked at Zhuo Yixiong.
Because of the preliminary preparation work, Li Yi basically left it to Zhuo Yixiong.
Zhuo Yixiong nodded and said: "The script has been reviewed and the permission has been issued!"
"The next step is to look at the scene, the actors, and the crew. I have already contacted them. Most of them are from the previous "The Gift of Room No. 7" crew. There is no problem. We can start work at any time!"
"As for the scenery, according to your previous request, because the main shooting scenes required for "Mom Love Me Again" are a rural farmhouse, a villa, and a clinic. They have all been confirmed with Director Li. I
There are no other problems here. The next step is mainly about the actors, which depends on your opinion, Director Li." Zhuo Yixiong said one by one.
"In other words, the rest is about the actors in the movie?" Li Yi asked.
Zhuo Yixiong nodded and said: "Yes, as for other issues, because our movie does not have too many complicated things and does not require special effects, the early preparations are relatively simple."
Isn’t it?
"Mom Love Me Again" is even simpler than the previous "The Gift of Room 7".
Because there are many scenes in "The Gift of Room 7" that require a large number of extras, but "Mom Love Me Again" basically doesn't need them.
