Bernard wanted to think about it, so Li Qian just waited.
On the same day, I met Huang Zhonglei again, the number two figure in Huayang Media.
"Director Li, I have admired you for a long time. The last time Zhang Jun came to Donghua, he didn't know how many days to stay, so he hurried back without even seeing you. What a pity."
As soon as they met, Huang Zhonglei casually blamed Zhang Jun for not waiting in Donghua for two more days.
"Mr. Huang, you're welcome."
Li Qian smiled, he didn't expect Huang Zhonglei to come in person, which was unexpected.
However, no matter who comes, the conditions are still there.
After chatting for a while, Li Qian repeated his request again.
For the leading project, Huayang Media can invest part of it, but it cannot intervene in the preparation and production of the film. It also needs to be scheduled for the New Year's Day at the end of December, and an initial 200 film copies will be made.
Each of these conditions is more outrageous than the last.
But that's what Huang Zhonglei does, he deceives people first.
Ma Xiaogang is so awesome, there is no way he would not let the company get involved in his films.
"Director Li, this is no problem. "Assembly" can be released in early December, and I will leave it to you during the New Year's Day at the end of the month."
Huang Zhonglei said with a smile, "In addition, the company will not interfere too much in your movie, but you still have to give priority to the company's actors. After all, they are all our own."
The schedule can be adjusted at any time, and it can be postponed if possible.
It's useless to talk about whether to intervene or not.
Bernard said this is not bad, after all, they do not have an artist management business.
But Huayang is deeply entangled, and the five big managers barely made their conflicts visible in order to compete for roles.
Even the major brokers are fighting openly and secretly within themselves.
Li Qian shook his head and said, "Mr. Huang, Director Ma can't even make the decision on his own film, let alone me."
The meaning was obvious, and the displeasure flashed in Huang Zhonglei's eyes.
The vice chairman of the dignified Huayang Media came to invite me in person and refused without politeness at all.
However, Huang Zhonglei, who has played a role of interpersonal communication in Huayang for a long time, does not put this matter on his face, and is still smiling.
The two parties chatted casually for a while before saying goodbye.
Looking at Huang Zhonglei's leaving figure, Li Qian suddenly felt a little arrogant.
I remember that when I came to Hengdian in my senior year and opened a photography studio, I was still a very smooth person, making connections and getting business everywhere.
When it first opened, in order to get two SLRs that had been eliminated by a county-level TV station below Donghua, and a business-level camera, I went back and forth to get benefits.
These three machines support Li Qian's photography studio.
90% of the good stuff is new, but it was scrapped by the TV station after being used only a few times a year in Kaifeng.
If they don't scrap it, they won't have money to buy new ones.
Now, just two months later, the vice chairman of Tangtang Huayang Media was so directly rejected.
Not even an excuse!
"Oh, it's really swollen!"
Li Qian smiled and sighed, it felt so good to not have to deliberately hide his lies, hypocrisy and snakes.
You can do whatever you want, say what you want, and don't care what other people think, at least not what most people think.
You have to be strong when you are making iron, otherwise Zhang Weiping can drag him to the sky?
He almost pointed at Yu Dong and Wang Changtian and cursed them.
If Ma Xiaogang didn't have his current achievements, he wouldn't be able to make a horse cannon, at most he would be a pistol.
Doing whatever you want is fun!
In the evening, Li Qian met Zhang Zhao, general manager of Guangxian Pictures.
After chatting for a few words, Li Qian stated his request again.
"Oh, what a loud tone!"
Zhang Zhao was stunned by Li Qian's request.
As a director, who is still new to the big screen, he wants other investors not to interfere in the preparation and filming process of the film.
This kind of treatment is not available to everyone.
After all, the domestic film industry is dominated by investors, and it is said that they do not interfere in the filming process. However, there are very few people who do not interfere in the preparation process.
However, Guangxian does not have an artist management business, so there is no need to stuff people in.
As for 200 film copies, the corresponding publicity and distribution scale.
The risks are high and there are certain difficulties.
After all, a film copy is shared by several screening rooms in the same cinema. How to maximize the use of each copy and not waste the time of even one copy requires negotiating with each cinema to arrange the film.
After all, it’s not just your movie, other movies also have the same needs.
And terrestrial distribution is exactly what Guangxian lacks.
However, all problems can be overcome.
As for the New Year's Day schedule, even if the two blockbusters are released half a month early, it will still be a lot of pressure.
However, Zhang Zhao knew that Guangxian was definitely at a disadvantage compared to Bernard and Huayang, and maybe the other party had already been in contact with Li Qian.
If you hesitate, you might be the first to get there.
Guangxian has just entered the film and television industry, and there is a real shortage of a director who can sell box office.
Even if you just show your potential, you have to take a gamble. Anyway, you have nothing and you are not afraid of failure.
"No problem, we can meet all Director Li's requirements."
Although he knew that Li Qian's request had exceeded Wang Changtian's "give him everything he wanted," Zhang Zhao decided to agree first and joke with Wang Changtian later.
Li Qian was a little surprised that he was so happy and didn't even ask.
Zhang Zhaodao said, "Don't worry, Director Li. I am also a director. I know that professional matters should be left to professionals. We will never interfere in the preparation and shooting of the film. Moreover, there are no contracted actors under Guangxian."
"As for publicity and distribution, we have the largest television distribution network in the country. The programs we produce cover more than 300 TV stations across the country, and we have begun to establish terrestrial distribution networks in more than 50 cities across the country. The publicity and distribution scale you require is sufficient.
Do it.”
He boasted about a lot of advantages of Guangxian Media and just picked up the good ones.
Guangxian's biggest problem now is that it does not have a professional production team and lacks ground distribution scale.
The former is easier to handle. There is no shortage of professional behind-the-scenes talents in China. So many studios are on the verge of bankruptcy, and a lot of people are unemployed.
Not to mention the publicity aspect, but in terms of TV station resources, Guangxian can be said to be the best in the country.
As for the lack of terrestrial distribution capabilities, Li Qian only needed to invest 200 copies in the early stage. Compared with those that often require 700, 800, or nearly 1,000 copies, the requirements are not that large.
Bernard waited all afternoon and still didn't get a reply. It was probably out of the question, so the only option left was Guangxian.
"Okay, since Mr. Zhang is so happy, I won't be pretentious. Let's settle it now. The specific matters will be discussed later when I officially confirm the film project."
Zhang Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I'll wait for the good news from Director Li. If you need anything, feel free to tell me. Guang Xian will definitely cooperate with you."
Li Qian smiled and said, "Of course, I won't be polite to Mr. Zhang when the time comes."
Although it is only the second choice, Guangxian is also a good choice.
Guangxian's current urgent need for good projects is even stronger than Bernard's, and he doesn't have an artist management business.
In terms of publicity capabilities, it is not weaker than Huayang Media and Bernard, and is even better.
The distribution capacity is insufficient, but for a small-budget movie, it is enough.
It is free enough and the scale of publicity is also sufficient!
