In fact, this is President Zhang drawing a pie for everyone. In any case, whether the pie can be eaten, we must first draw the pie. For a speculator, the history of celebrities is quite important.
It's important, but there are very few people who can actually do it.
There was a very opportunistic guy in the Tang Dynasty who once did this. It can be said that this guy was incompetent in both writing and martial arts.
Strictly speaking, he didn’t have anything that could make him a celebrity. However, one thing is that he was relatively wealthy at that time. His family was relatively wealthy, and he liked to make friends with literati.
He, a rich guy, found a very, very famous opportunity, so he invited Li Bai over.
He invited Li Bai here very sincerely, and as a result, he entertained Li Bai well, and when he left, he gave money, BMWs, silks and satins, etc. Anyway, Li Bai was able to leave with satisfaction.
This is a kind of investment, or in other words, it is a kind of speculation.
In the end, this guy was very lucky and succeeded, and this person was Wang Lun. Throughout Wang Lun's life, there was no noteworthy martial arts or anything like that.
He could neither settle the world with a pen nor settle the world with a horse. The key was that he knew how to speculate. He found Li Bai and treated him well. In the end, he also gave various kinds of wealth such as BMWs, silks and satins. With a stroke of his pen, Li Bai
He wrote directly to Wang Lun.
In the end, venture capital master Wang Lun truly became famous in history. You must know that in the Tang Dynasty, there were almost no people who were less talented than Ye Ming, but there were fewer people who were less talented than Li Bai.
But why are so few people successful except Li Bai?
At this moment, Chairman Zhang also said with emotion: "Today's businessmen are becoming more and more cunning. They say they want us to invest a little, but they actually push back. You can call me no matter who you are, right?"
right?
President Zhang naturally understood this point from the outside, so he nodded in agreement without any hesitation.
But you think, there is still no room for negotiation. Xiaolang and the other two of us did that, but Chang Di only had no room for bargaining, and it was nothing trivial to me.
Wang Lun was very unsure and said: "Of course it may be a matter of advertising. You're not talking about eye contact. We just decided on a male and female lead. If we want a female lead, we should hire someone with the level of a king."
Come on, the male lead is not a pre-film actor from Mainland China, and he is a pre-film actor with no acting skills.
It was a small film, and it was a commercial art film, so it was a relatively serious film. Could it be that we wanted to have our company embedded in the film or help us promote it? That is too realistic."
I'm sure some of those people's quotas will be allocated to Xiao Laowang and us, and some more important roles will be given to us. Let us select some people who have no acting skills. In that case, you doubt that we will be able to get enough chips to convince the board of directors.
Or we can convince ourselves.
But among the small shareholders, there are not many seven shareholders, eight shareholders, and other various shareholders. If each of those shareholders is better than Xiao Laowang, but if Chang Di unites, he can still defeat Xiao Laowang.
pose a certain threat.
As for those of us, what we should consider is not that as long as we can come up with enough chips, let us convince the board of directors, or let us convince ourselves of 40 million.
The entire company is also decided by Xiao Lao Wang himself, so it is very unusual for me to use that as an excuse. Director Feng is very experienced in that field, so if what I said is correct, Xiao Lao Wang is here
It is definitely difficult for our company to be arbitrary.
No matter how good the domestic box office is for Director Chen's works, there is no market for them internationally. At least, generally speaking, they are likely to lose money. This is an investment that he cannot worry about. I dare you to call them and ask them to come over.
If they invest, it would be based on their abilities.
That's a movie designated below. What chips do we want?
Although it may seem that a small director like Director Chen is leading the movie, Chairman Zhang himself has the confidence to be able to lose money.
But the details of such a matter really don’t need to be considered, you have to think carefully about it.”
So the current Xiao Laowang didn’t dare to agree immediately, which is also very abnormal."
Not to mention the five of us, even if we have eight directors, Wang Laoyu and Li, there will be problems for all eight of us, but of course, that doesn’t mean we have to give us enough chips.
After all, what businessmen value is profit for fame and fortune, and we have to pursue something after all.
In fact, if we invest money, we will also suffocate people outside the crew, but secretly, the shackles are the same as Zheng Xiaominggong's eight people. If Zhengxiao Guangming can sneak in our eight people, why should we be sneaky?
What to do?
So in that case, what about the other actors, right?
What is his opinion on what Da Feng said? President Zhang actually doesn’t want to understand the current mentality of the current Lao Wang, but Wang Lun does not have a film and television company, so he should know the current mentality of the young Lao Wang.
."
President Zhang said nonchalantly: "In fact, the little guy should be well aware of that matter.
I'm sure Xiao Laowang will always be the first to invest if I decide on my own. But once I lose money before investing, I have to spend money to make up for the money when I pay dividends at the end of the year. Of course, I will definitely make money. If I am also a small investor,
Lao Wang takes the small head himself.
Now, at that time, we said that we wanted to discuss it. In fact, it seems to you that this is just a little bit. It does not mean that the benefits are enough. As long as there are not enough benefits and enough chips, let alone let us invest tens of millions, it is not
If you invest a little less, we will probably agree. The key is not whether the chips you give are enough.
Is there enough profit? Who is willing to invest such a small amount of money?
So in that situation, if he wants us to invest such a small amount of money, we naturally have to think carefully about it. After all, it is indeed the company itself that has the final say.
President Zhang pondered for a while and said: "What kind of chips are more suitable for this chip?
Because businessmen are pursuing profit issues. As long as there are not enough profits, it will be bad for others. For example, the same is true for the commercial art films you decide. It is indeed difficult to say that art films make money.
President Zhang’s cookie is obviously not very tempting. Xiao Laowang and we are actually very vague in our hearts and out there. In that case, it is possible to directly agree.
After all, people have to pay real money, and they have to be willing to pay. To be honest, President Zhang himself is not too sure whether the movie can make money.
We, Xiao Laowang, are the same. The same thing is to bypass those two things, so you start from that aspect, give us a few important roles, set conditions for us, and let us find people with bad acting skills. In that case
It can guarantee the quality of your movie, and also make it a little more uncomfortable for Xiao Laowang and us to invest money."
Xiao Lao Wang and the rest of us temporarily left and went to the large conference room next to us to discuss the issue and how much money we should invest.
Xiao Laowang We dared to come before we received the call, and we came so slowly. In fact, our attitude was not very clear yet. The leader asked us to invest some money and help to enter the brother industry, and we would agree to it.
So as long as we are promised a certain role, there shouldn't be any problem with us casting the film at that time.
It was indeed a matter of gaining fame, but after all, we were asked to invest relatively little that time, so it was very unusual for us to be determined. Even if we were determined, it would be abnormal.
This is not because that guy has a bad vision and is speculative. A bad speculator caught Ye Ming's golden calf. You can imagine how difficult it is to be famous, but there are only a handful of examples like that in history.
After hearing what President Zhang said, Lao Wang pondered for a while and said: "President Zhang, as for that matter, it would be more appropriate if you several discuss it first to see how to overcome it. After all, he said that time
When investing 100 million in commercial art, that goal is still quite small.
If you call me and the conditions are poor or low, then cats and dogs will be willing to invest, and you may be a total loser. It will be as if you are begging for food from us, and those people will be difficult to lead.
A bunch of people.”
At least there is no such small investment in art films in the future, so the result is not acceptable to you for a while. If you guys discuss it first and see if there is no way to solve the problem, give it to him 10 minutes ago
How about an explanation?
Worry, if you are a leader, you will follow wherever the leader tells me.
That's why, now he said that the total investment would be at most 40 million. At that time, one of the key reasons why Xiao Laowang was relatively ordinary was that I did not have any rights in the company, but I had no obligation to guarantee the safety of these directors on our board of directors.
Benefit.
So it is really hard to force people to decide how much they are willing to invest. Now that they have proposed to discuss it, it means that if they agree to it, they have to think carefully about whether they want to invest more or less.
As long as the chips are enough, everything else is bad. For example, if we look at the incident of Xiao Lao Wang from our point of view, we just said that we were asked to invest money, and that we might lose money.
Of course, it would be difficult for Director Chen's film to suffer losses. After all, Haili's copyright has not yet been able to recoup the money. I guess that is an issue for us to consider.
Therefore, in that situation, Xiao Laowang himself had to think carefully about whether he could invest more or less in our film.
If it's just one item, why should we invest so little money?
As for Xiao Laowang and the rest of us, we are not doing it purely to hurt people, but because of what they are like, Chang Di is just doing it for profit. There is no doubt about his point. As a businessman, making money is shabby.
Chairman Zhang took the opportunity and wanted to know less about it. Feng Zhen said quickly and quickly: "Actually, what Director Feng said is very correct. Xiao Laowang and we are all joint-stock companies.
They all have no board of directors. Although we are the boss of the company, there are still not many directors on it.
Therefore, the attraction of being famous in history is still very small for people without money.
This is often because Director Chen is well-known and people doubt Director Chen's accomplishments in film. There is no need to worry about investing money in Chen Daoyan. For fame and fortune, it has to be the same anyway.
I mean, yes, but it’s hard to make money with that kind of film, so it’s unusual for Xiao Laowang and us to be firm.
If so, why is he the chairman? In fact, sometimes a small shareholder may not necessarily be the chairman, but only if the shares held by the chairman are relatively small.
In fact, to put it bluntly, that matter is not a matter of benefit distribution. As long as there are not enough benefits, it is actually easy.
Although we are both CEOs, our company still has very few shareholders. You know that well. You and Xiao Laowang have never cooperated since then. As far as our company is concerned, Xiao Laowang is obviously Xiao Laowang.
shareholder.
If I want to invest in any project, once I lose money, I really have to use my own money to fill the hole. If I make money, he will get a small share. So what does anyone say? If I lose money, of course he, as the chairman of the company, must ensure that
The company's interests.
After all, we invested money and also praised our company's artists. It's a way to get the best of both worlds. I suspect that as long as you point it out, we will be ranked first.
It’s true that there’s no point in pushing back and forth. Feng Zhen is also an investor himself. If he looks at the issue from our perspective, what kind of result will he have?
As for that benefit, it cannot be purely monetary, nor can it be said to be fame. Anyway, for fame and fortune, it must be one.
Other actors are not your bargaining chips. Who do you want to hire other actors?
Dagang Pao said straightforwardly: "In the end, President Zhang still has not enough benefits. He has to think about what others want. Just like Director Chen, he used my reputation to get 40 million in investment and follow me."
Just kidding, why do other people invest in Director Chen?
Chairman Zhang relaxed a little and knew that the matter was generally settled. In fact, when the managers came to him, Chairman Zhang was also quite vague. If they refused to invest, the investment would be much smaller.
Indeed, no one dares to make a guarantee.
Now that I have come and received the notice, it is 100% right to invest money like this, but the key is not to say that investing less or more cannot be considered, so when it comes to that, the little guy feels that it is impossible to continue to argue.
There will be conflicts.
Just like our film companies, which are relatively small investment projects, they will all be discussed by the board of directors under special circumstances.
So in that matter, as long as you give enough chips, it will be ruined for me."
