Sun Dahai asked specifically, and then he realized that people from Youlian had been eyeing several projects under Jiahua for a long time.
In Sister Fen's words, her company has such good resources and cannot waste them. Where a high-end resort can be built, its natural or cultural environment must be unique. When filming in the future, we must give priority to location shooting.
It's your own territory.
Only then did Sun Dahai realize that they were here to explore the road. No wonder Liu Zhenwei also came with him, holding a camera and filming non-stop.
But this was a good idea. Sun Dahai asked Gao Yi to take people from Youlian Company to formally meet with Susan and Ouyang Meimei to discuss how to establish a resource sharing mechanism.
There is actually another important reason why Youlian Brokerage Company went out in force this time.
With the joint efforts of Li Bihua, Cheng Xiaodong and the editorial team of Youlian, the film script adaptation of Li Bihua's novel "Qin Terracotta Warriors" has been basically completed, and is now undergoing the final polishing.
The preparatory team for this project has been formally established, the director is confirmed to be Cheng Xiaodong, and the male lead will also be played by Zhang Yimou.
After attending the opening ceremony of the resort, they will go to the capital to visit Ying Lao and formally propose a co-production plan with China Film Co-Production Company.
A few months ago, when Mr. Ying was in Hong Kong, he had read the original work and learned about the general situation of this project. Now it is time to go through the formal review process. If everything goes well, the film will be released in June this year.
Start in month.
Now that movies were mentioned, Sun Dahai couldn't help but think of that cheap little fat guy in Xiangjiang, so he asked about the "God of Gamblers" project.
After asking, I found out that this project had already passed the internal review of the company's editorial team. However, according to the schedules of director Wang Sanri and starring Fa Ge, filming would not start until at least August this year.
Sister Fen suddenly said: "Boss, should we invest in the "God of Gamblers" project independently, or are we going to share part of the investment amount?"
Sun Dahai was stunned and thought to himself: Due to the company's reorganization, Youlian has not started any new projects for half a year. Most of the dividends from the previous movies have been received, and now the company's funds are very rich.
Wang Sanri is not a director who likes to shoot big productions. "God of Gamblers" has a budget of four to five million Hong Kong dollars, and Youlian will not care at all.
Is there any meaning in Sister Fen’s words?
Sun Dahai asked: "Is there any explanation for this?"
Sister Fen winked at Sun Dahai, and the two of them walked aside and murmured quietly.
"Dahai, it turns out that our company is not very famous, and the investment in film projects is from New Art City to the front, so it is not eye-catching.
However, with the box office success of the two films "A Better Tomorrow" and "An Autumn Fairy Tale", "The Last Emperor" has directly entered the mainstream film market in Europe and the United States, so now we are a well-known company in the Hong Kong entertainment industry
.
A characteristic of the Hong Kong film industry is that there are often multiple investors in a film project. This not only diversifies investment risks, but also obtains multiple film resources. It also means that "everyone makes money together".
In the future, we will be filming many movies one after another? It is impossible to be alone all the time, so how to choose partners in the future, I hope you can have a clear plan."
Sun Dahai nodded and said: "What you said makes sense. Since we want to take root in the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang, we are no longer just playing for fun. We still have to abide by the rules of the industry."
Seeing that Sun Dahai agreed with her point of view, Sister Fen breathed a sigh of relief.
Is she really afraid that Sun Dahai will be young and energetic? Relying on the successful experience of investing in several previous movies, he will ignore the rules of the industry and blindly act recklessly.
If you really offend everyone in the industry, Youlian will not be able to make any movies.
Sister Fen took a sip of water and continued: "Take this "God of Gamblers" as an example. This is a movie with 'gambling' as its core. This type of film has never appeared in the history of Hong Kong movies.
However, since it is a gambling film? There are also many casino scenes and details showing gambling skills in the script, so do we need the gambling kings of Laao County, the He family, to participate in the investment?
In addition, we should also express our opinions on the local social groups in Xiangjiang. In the past, the Huo family came forward to say hello, so none of the major social groups in Xiangjiang have ever caused us any trouble.
But we will often make movies in the future, so our relationship with the community must be repositioned. We cannot rely entirely on the Huo family's reputation, as the people under them also rely on this for their livelihood."
"Is this happening? When did the Huo family come forward, why didn't I know about it?" Sun Dahai really didn't know about these things, so he suddenly became interested.
"I also heard what Ah Shan said not long ago. When the company was developing in Lan Kwai Fong, several associations came forward to ask for benefits. The Huo family came forward and settled the matter with tens of thousands of yuan. The Huo family even took special care of it, so that
They should not touch the future, Sheng Zhiwen and Ah Shan were both present at the time."
Only then did Sun Dahai realize that the Huo family should have found out his details at that time and quietly gave him a huge favor, allowing his company to safely pass through the initial stage of development.
Sun Dahai had thought about it before, saying that the community in Xiangjiang is an unavoidable social problem, not only in the entertainment industry, but also in all aspects of Xiangjiang.
And in the past few years of development in Xiangjiang, I really haven't felt any pressure in this regard.
Although he has people like Ah Shan and Zhong Yuanqing who are from clubs under his command, they have no problem dealing with ordinary small clubs. But if they really want to face He Shenghe, Xin Ngee Ann, and Fourteen K, they are still not qualified.
Of course, Ah Shan and the others now have the status of Xiangjiang auxiliary police, and the club will not easily provoke them. It can only be said that if there is no serious conflict of interest, everyone will give each other a certain amount of face and not interfere with each other.
Only now did Sun Dahai know that there was help from the Huo family behind the scenes. He had accepted this favor first, and would definitely have to repay it in other ways in the future.
Now that Sister Fen has raised this question, it really needs careful consideration. Sun Dahai had an idea and seemed to understand Sister Fen's hidden intention.
"You mean... Yongsheng?" Sun Dahai asked.
"Yes, Wang Sanri came to see me. Because he wanted to adjust his schedule, he mentioned the "God of Gamblers" project to Yongsheng, who seemed to be very interested in it.
However, they are not sure whether this project can make money, so they are more cautious and hope to participate in investment, hoping to get about 15% to 20% of the investment share.
In exchange, they will fully support the distribution of this film in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asian countries."
