Do these domestic entertainment companies want to go to Hollywood to develop? The answer is of course yes. As long as there is a little pursuit and a little dream, which company does not want to go to Hollywood to develop and make US dollars? But the problem is that you have to have this ability.
.
Those who have no ability can only go and get tricked. In the past few decades, there have been many precedents.
And Chen Feng is obviously a special case. He acquired an entertainment company in Hollywood through a backdoor, and then launched a movie that was immediately popular and a hit. This is even more of a special case. Even local companies in Hollywood cannot just launch a movie.
can achieve such results.
This is Chen Feng's ability and strength.
Previously, there were no other entertainment companies or financial capital in Datang that tried to enter Hollywood, including acquiring a local company and then using it as a base to start developing in Hollywood. But in the end, no one was truly successful, and the better ones were just barely there.
He escaped unscathed and almost lost all his money. Chen Feng is the first person to be as successful as he is.
The most important thing here is Chen Feng’s screenwriting, planning and company management abilities. What’s more important is courage and courage. After the failure of many domestic companies and capital in the past few decades, Chen Feng, a newborn calf, is not afraid
Only a rookie like Hu would be so direct and determined to enter Hollywood, and he would fight his way out.
Regarding this, the representatives of one of the entertainment companies present here could only admire, envy, and feel sour in their hearts. None of their companies could do it, but Chen Feng did it.
In their hearts, they actually want to follow Chen Feng to Hollywood to get a piece of the pie, or they want Chen Feng to help lead the way, but at the same time, their company is afraid of being cheated again. Especially Chen Feng has only filmed a movie there.
For a successful movie, the second or even third movie may not be as successful.
Therefore, although their colleagues are envious at present, they still have a wait-and-see attitude towards Chen Feng's development in Hollywood. Chen Feng is somewhat worried about this.
"I see. This is the first time I've heard of this. After all, I'm still relatively new in this industry. I've never heard of my previous colleagues trying to develop in Hollywood, and there doesn't seem to be any relevant reports in the media.
"Chen Feng said calmly.
Dong Jianyue continued with a wry smile: "Who would take the initiative to speak out about such unpleasant things? Of course, domestic media do not want to embarrass their country's film companies, so they generally will not report it."
Chen Feng nodded with understanding and sighed: "It is difficult to go abroad, especially if you want to develop in Hollywood. I also understand this very well. I bought it there at a high price.
A company was reorganized and reformed, but it took a lot of effort. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to find a knowledgeable partner. For this reason, I transferred 10% of the company's shares to him for free. Fortunately, this person
He is indeed very capable, and now he is mainly in charge of the company I am working at."
Hearing Chen Feng's words, everyone in the room was filled with complaints. His start-up in Hollywood had long been reported in detail by national television, including some of the top management and structures within the Beauty Beauty Company, which were all included in that program.
According to a detailed introduction, it is not a secret that Teralun is Chen Feng’s partner and the company’s other major shareholder.
According to reports on national television, Chen Feng only spent two million US dollars to buy the Meili Beauty Company, which now has a market value of at least US$200 million. He then successfully discovered and trained two new music talents, and then successfully launched his third music company.
A blockbuster Hollywood movie. This series of operations can be said to be extremely easy. It even makes people doubt the authenticity of the national TV program.
Because in that program report, Chen Feng's success in Hollywood was so easy. Many people wanted to follow suit and go to Hollywood to open a company, make movies, and cultivate stars.
But insiders like them know very well how deep the water is in Hollywood. Those who are not knowledgeable will be drowned in minutes.
"Only someone with talent and management skills like you, Mr. Chen, can make a name for himself in Hollywood. For mediocre people like us, it would be extremely difficult to succeed there." One of the company representatives said sincerely.
Said Fa.
"In my opinion, Mr. Chen's success is mainly due to his creative genius in various fields such as movies and music. This is something that others cannot copy and learn from. Of course, luck is also important. Mr. Chen is like a character in those novels.
The protagonist template is not only capable, but also very lucky."
…
Everyone flattered Chen Feng one after another. Although Chen Feng felt comfortable listening to it, what two people said was too disgusting. Chen Feng couldn't stand it, so he quickly raised his hands to stop him and said: "Where is it? Everyone is talking too much. I am.
With a little bit of talent and luck, we are now in this situation. However, my company and I are still just doing it in a small way. I will need more support from everyone in the future."
Seeing this, several people said again.
"Mr. Chen, you are being too modest. If you are just making small fuss now, our companies are nothing."
"Yes. Now you are not only famous in our country, but you have also made a huge name in Hollywood. You are already a world-famous figure."
"Mr. Chen, our companies need your support now. If there are any good projects in the future, I hope that Mr. Chen will give us a share of the pie for the sake of his peers."
…
Seeing that the heat was almost over and it was getting late, Chen Feng said with a smile: "I know you all want to cooperate with me now. But after all, you have so many companies. If you make movies and TV series, everyone should share a little bit.
It seems that there is no need. If we divide it evenly, we will not make much money. So, I thought about it, in fact, we can definitely play the big game and set up a movie special effects company together. We should not let foreign special effects companies specialize in beauty.
forward."
Chen Feng has actually had the idea of establishing a special effects company for a long time. Although there are so-called movie special effects companies in the Tang Dynasty, they can't compare with the special effects companies abroad, especially those in Hollywood. The special effects they produce are not worth 50 cents, but
It's not much better.
But to set up a special effects company comparable to those famous in Hollywood, the cost is very huge. Although Chen Feng can do it alone, he will not lose money in the long run, but it will definitely take a long time to recover the investment, which is not very cost-effective. If it is just
In order to make money, it is very uneconomical to fully invest in establishing such a special effects company.
But special effects companies are very needed for an entertainment company. Whether it is movies, TV, or even music MVs, certain special effects are needed.
But everyone knows the importance of special effects to the entertainment industry, but they don’t pay much attention to it. Otherwise, there would have been world-class special effects companies in China long ago, but now there are none.
Therefore, when Chen Feng suggested that we jointly establish a special effects company, everyone present was very surprised.
The scene suddenly became quiet.
After a while, Dong Jianyue broke the silence and said: "Mr. Chen, your proposal is very good. Our domestic special effects companies are not yet very technically advanced, and many of our domestic movie special effects can only be done abroad.
.If there is a domestic special effects company whose technology is comparable to that of foreign ones, I believe that if some film and television works require special effects in the future, the domestic company will definitely be the first choice. Since Mr. Chen, you have this idea, we at Tianhe would also be willing to participate."
The reason why Dong Jianyue is willing to participate in the shares is not because he really values this special effects company, but because he wants to further deepen his relationship with Chen Feng. If we become business partners together and share common interests, the relationship will definitely get better. And
Once the relationship gets better, if Chen Feng has any good projects in the future, he will certainly not forget about Tianhe. This is the abacus of Dong Jianyue, the CEO of Tianhe.
After the other company representatives were slightly surprised, they all agreed and rushed to join the partnership.
Among them, Zhang Ling was the most active. He said on the spot that Tiandi Pictures could invest 30 million. Tiandi Pictures made a lot of money following Chen Feng. Of course, they themselves are wealthy. This is unmatched by other companies present.
Zhang Ling is coming from behind. As the representative of Tiandi Pictures, of course he also wants to further deepen his relationship with Chen Feng. But he was overtaken by Dong Jianyue just now, so he could only domineeringly promise 30 million on the spot to beat Dong Jianyue.
Chen Feng was very considerate and thanked Zhang Ling on the spot. Next, Chen Feng explained to everyone the reasons and plans for establishing a film special effects company. It was considered a financing briefing.
The main purpose is to talk about the necessity and importance of establishing a world-class film special effects company in Datang. The main purpose is to promote the further rapid development of the domestic film and television industry, and the secondary purpose is not to let the film and television industry of our country be restricted.
in foreign countries.
In addition, Chen Feng also talked about the profit point of the special effects company. The main profit point is of course receiving orders for various film and television works and music works. If the respective entertainment companies of all representatives present join in, in the future, the film and television works produced by their respective companies and
Of course, musical works will always choose our own special effects company for special effects. Therefore, there is no need to worry about future orders, and the profit points will be considerable.
The main reason why Chen Feng asked them to invest in the joint venture was that he wanted the special effects company to be able to take orders for various entertainment works of their respective companies in the future.
Secondly, of course, there is the issue of investment return cycle.
According to Chen Feng's plan, this special effects company will invest 500 million in advance, hire the world's top technical talents, and purchase the world's top machines and software. In short, it will directly prepare for the world's top level in the same industry.
Therefore, the investment in the first few years is quite large, and it will be very difficult to recover the cost within five or six years. Of course, Chen Feng is not willing to tell them this. But he personally will take it depending on the situation.
Invest 100 million to 200 million, depending on how much other companies invest.
Chen Feng briefly explained the special effects company's financing plan and future operating profit plan. It was almost eleven o'clock in the evening. Therefore, Chen Feng did not say anything more. He just said that if you are interested, please contact us.
Reply within one week. A week later, Summit Entertainment will hold a formal financing meeting, at which time interested company representatives will be invited to attend the meeting to reach an agreement.
After that, Chen Feng personally sent them out of the hotel and shook hands with them one by one to say goodbye.
When I got home, it was almost early in the morning. Miranda was still awake.
Originally, Chen Feng was attending tonight with Miranda, but she said she didn't want to go, and she didn't want to be treated as a vase by everyone. After all, she is a foreigner here, and she doesn't understand the language. In the past, she could only be used as a vase. So, Chen Feng
Feng didn't force her.
"My dear, how was the celebration party?" Miranda was still more concerned about him.
"Very successful." Chen Feng smiled and gave her an OK gesture.
"That's good." Miranda also smiled, "Speaking of which, you are really amazing. You have only made 4 movies, and the box office has exceeded one billion US dollars. This achievement is very impressive even in Hollywood.
"
"Thank you for the compliment. You will witness more and more miracles of mine in the future." Chen Feng said confidently.
Miranda came over with a smile, took the initiative to hug Chen Feng, and said in his ear: "I just like your confident look. It's very charming."
Chen Feng also said in her ear: "How about we take a bath together."
Miranda's face turned red, she quickly let him go, shook her head and refused, "No, I've already washed it."
"Come on. Just think of it as a reward for me." Chen Feng said with a calm face.
Miranda quickly took a few steps back and said with a smile: "I've really washed it. It's too troublesome to take off my clothes again."
Chen Feng laughed and said, "Then I'll help you take it off."
Miranda gave her a roll of her eyes and said with a tigerish face: "Go quickly. If you keep talking, I will be unhappy."
Seeing this, Chen Feng could only curl his lips helplessly and went to take a bath alone.
Chen Feng came to the company the next day and held a mobilization meeting and a briefing meeting for the cast of "The Condor". The protagonists and supporting actors totaled more than seventy people.
Of course, they included some small supporting actors with few lines or scenes. Originally, Chen Feng had no intention of asking them to come to participate, but he did so at Su Qian's suggestion. The reason is very simple, because these actors were selected from other entertainment companies.
Yes, this is a favor sent by Summit Entertainment. For this favor to be fulfilled, naturally there must be a certain degree of respect for these minor supporting characters. It does not depend on the face of these actors, but also on the name of the entertainment company behind them.
Anyway, we raise a few sheep and a group of sheep, so Chen Feng just called them over. It was also the first time that everyone had a sense of identity with the crew of "The Condor Shooting" and became familiar with each other.
Chen Feng held this mobilization meeting before the start of filming all day long, mainly to teach them about the play, which was also regarded as a make-up lesson before the start of filming. It gave everyone a deeper understanding of the play, especially the era of the play.
Introduction to the background and historical background, character relationships, etc., so that actors like them have a deeper understanding. Only in this way can they get twice the result with half the effort when acting.
