Huayu: Marry the campus beauty of the Central Academy of Drama and activate the golden entry

Hearing Chu Yian speak directly, Li Ao was stunned for a moment, but finally nodded and said:

"Yes, I haven't found a suitable investor yet."

"So, I want to ask if you are willing to join our investment."

"This work has a very good prospect..."

Hearing Li Ao's careful and tentative question, Chu Yian couldn't help but laugh:

"Director Li, why do I feel that you are a little lacking in confidence."

"I'm afraid you don't have the confidence that this movie can make money. You just want to shoot the martial arts world in your mind. As for whether it makes money or not, you don't care. You just want to get the investment, and then you can realize your dream of being a director."

"If there is such a good prospect, I'm afraid this investment share will not be my turn."

Chu Yian's seemingly joking words pointed out the essence of the problem, and Li Ao couldn't help but be shocked.

This young man is really amazing, and his vision is so mature. He still underestimated the other party.

At this time, Li Min couldn't help but smile awkwardly:

"I am abrupt, I am really asking too much."

At this moment, Li Min was depressed. He searched for the capital in the domestic film and television circles that like to shoot martial arts, but no one was willing to invest in him.

The main reason is that the story he chose is really not famous at all. Even if he shoots "White Horse Roars in the West Wind", the least famous work of Jin Yong, it is probably easier to attract investment than this "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

After all, the effect of Jin Yong's works after adaptation is obvious to all.

And "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"? Who knows what this is!

People who couldn't help but look for it found that it was actually a story written in a third-rate novel a long time ago.

Not to mention ordinary readers, even real martial arts enthusiasts have not heard of this story.

Therefore, it is undoubtedly very difficult to make money with such a story.

And the facts have proved that if we only look at the local market in the East, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is really a big loss.

In the past, the box office market of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in the mainland was only 15 million, and the audience did not buy it.

Think about the cost of 17 million US dollars, which is more than 100 million RMB.

As a result, the film only got 15 million box office. Isn't this a trap for investors?

But the miracle is that this movie exploded in the overseas market.

Who let the foreign audiences have never seen the world?

Before, the kung fu that foreign audiences had seen was Bruce Lee and Big Brother Cheng.

This kind of martial arts full of Chinese aesthetics and with a kind of ink painting-like artistic conception, they have never seen it.

In addition, Li Amin showed the violent aesthetics to the extreme, and the story structure was also quite good, which highly catered to the curiosity of overseas audiences. This is why the subsequent overseas market box office achieved a beautiful result of 214 million US dollars.

No matter from which aspect, it was a big profit in the end.

But now, Chu Yian will not tell Li Amin this.

Of course he wants to invest, but at the same time he also wants a bigger voice and a bigger share!

Moreover, he is not the only one investing. This is also the purpose of his joking words in front of Li Amine to point out his embarrassing situation of fundraising. In this way, he can have a greater initiative in negotiations.

Of course, he can invest all his money, but he can't make money in that case because he has no overseas distribution channels.

He also has to let overseas film and television bosses join in, so that he can have a chance to make money overseas.

There is no way around it. After all, it is someone else's territory. If they, a group of Orientals, want to grab a meal there, they naturally have to abide by other people's rules.

Unless their own strength has reached an unprecedented level of strength. But unfortunately, they don't have it now...

Therefore, they can only find a compromise solution.

At this time, facing Li Amin who was smiling bitterly, Chu Yian smiled and said:

"Although the expectations of this film are not ideal, I believe in Director Li's level."

"With your artistic accomplishment and directing skills, you will definitely be able to make this story extremely exciting!"

"So, I decided to invest. Just tell me how much money you need."

"But I have a request."

Hearing Chu Yian's panting words, Li Amin was overjoyed.

He immediately expressed his opinion:

"Xiao An, just tell me what you want. As long as I can do it, I will definitely agree to it!"

Chu Yian smiled and nodded and said:

"First, the heroine must be played by my girlfriend Zeng Lailai."

"But don't worry,Her acting skills are good, and her appearance is also very good. You have seen her. She was the heroine that Zhang Yimou wanted to win in his film. "

"Besides, she has also performed well in my film and helped me get more than 100 million yuan at the box office!"

"This proves that her box office appeal is still good."

Hearing Chu Yian say this, Li Min nodded and agreed without saying a word:

"That's no problem. You are the investor, and Miss Zeng Lai is indeed excellent in all aspects!"

"I can agree to this! "

Chu Yian certainly knew that this was not a big problem. He was already an investor, and he would definitely fight for what he could for his girlfriend. Why should he give it to Zhang Ziyi?

In a sense, Zhang Ziyi also stole Zeng Lai's leading actress last time.

So this time, it was understandable that he helped Zeng Lai get back a leading actress!

Of course, Li Min knew very well that the first condition put forward in the negotiation was definitely the easiest to achieve. If this could not satisfy the other party, then the investment that was finally obtained would be out of the question.

And the next condition made him nervous.

Sure enough, he heard Chu Yian say with a smile:

"For this movie, I can give you as much investment as you need, but I will not take all the investment share. I will give a part of the investment share to foreign distributors."

"Let them invest a little, on the premise that they help us distribute and promote overseas."

"As for the subsequent box office share, it is more than 50% of the box office share that our producers can get! ”

“Director Li needs to help me negotiate these things. I know you have good connections in Hollywood.”

Hearing Chu Yian say this, Li Min couldn’t help but twitch his lips.

He knew that this investment was not so easy to get.

Don’t think that Chu Yian only wants more than 50% of the box office share, which doesn’t sound like a lot. But you have to see where it is. If it is in China, Chu Yian can ask for more.

After all, he has connections in the Beijing circle and has good conditions in all aspects.

But abroad, who knows who Chu Yian is! Maybe they haven’t even heard of his name. Why should they give him a share of money?

Don’t I thought I could have everything if I paid to make this movie. Many overseas distributors directly bought the overseas distribution rights by buying out.

At this time, Chu Yian directly asked for a share of the overseas box office, which was also a manifestation of his confidence in the movie.

But at the same time, foreign capital may not agree so easily...

This still needs to be negotiated by Li Amin.

However, the movie has been prepared to this extent, and now it is suspended. Li Amin is obviously unwilling. In the end, he gritted his teeth and agreed:

"Okay, I will try my best to help you negotiate! But we also need to ensure that the investment is in place!"
