My Fintech Empire

Zhang Panpan gradually realized that after talking with Yang Guang here for a long time, as a director, he seemed to have been sprayed by him for a long time, and he was upset, but the "Three-Body" project became more and more serious. It's getting farther and farther.

At this moment, Yang Guang suddenly brought the topic back, and he said: "I have two options here, Director Zhang, maybe you can consider them."

Hearing this, Zhang Panpan replied: "Please tell me."

Yang Guang said in an orderly manner: "Since you are so determined to direct "Three-Body Problem" yourself, let's sign a gambling agreement. I, Yixing Media, will bring you some investors to come over and set up a new sci-fi project. The cost budget is 2 yuan." 100 million, the announcement will be 100 million, that is, a total of 300 million projects, and you will direct them. If this project can finally reach a box office of 1 billion and has a good reputation, then the "Three-Body Problem" project will be handed over to you. You do it, do you dare to accept it?"

The box office performance of 1 billion yuan is compared with the investment cost of 300 million yuan. For the producer, it can only be said that it has just passed the line, and the box office of more than 1 billion yuan will start to make real profits.

Zhang Panpan was also taken aback when he heard this. The production cost of 300 million yuan is definitely the ceiling level of the mainland film market at the moment. There is no higher budget than this.

Sure enough, relying on Qunxing Capital is rich and powerful!

After a while, Zhang Panpan couldn't help asking: "What if it can't be achieved?"

Yang Guang smiled and said, "You owed me 300 million yuan. It's not too much to hand over the copyright of "Three-Body Problem" as compensation, right?"

In fact, a loss of 300 million yuan is not enough, at most a loss of about 100 million yuan, and it can even keep its capital. Yixing Media will not foolishly invest in the entire movie exclusively by itself.

For other producers, the film box office is divided into about one-third, but Yixing Media also has its own Yixing theater chain, most of which are directly operated movie theaters, so a large part of the theater chain's share belongs to Art Star Media.

Maybe it can still save money, unless the movie really lost money to grandma's house, and it couldn't even make a box office of 100 million.

Zhang Panpan didn't respond, but instead asked, "What about the second plan?"

Yang Guang, still smiling, said in an orderly manner: "This second one is the simplest and most direct. I will give you 50 million yuan, and the copyright belongs to me. You withdraw with the money, and the copyright bought for 100,000 yuan will return 500 times a year. You will be out anyway. Made a lot of money."

Zhang Panpan couldn't help falling into silence.

Of the two proposals given by Yixing Media, the former’s VAM agreement is risky but high-yielding. If it succeeds, it will bring fame and fortune. Not only did he lose a penny, but the copyright had to be handed over.

And the second plan is the most stable and risk-free, just take the money out of the game, 100,000 yuan a year will turn into a huge sum of 50 million yuan, and you will be free of wealth directly.

At the end, Zhang Panpan looked at Yang Guang and said, "Mr. Yang, can you give me three days to think about it."

Yang Guang nodded sharply and said: "No problem, give me an answer after you think it over, but I want to remind you that, looking at the entire movie circle in the mainland, except for me, Yixing Media, who dares to do this and has the money to play, absolutely nothing There is no possibility that there will be another company that will accompany you to play big-budget sci-fi films."

The implication is that apart from Yixing Media, you can't find another home.

Yang Guang added: "I hope you can give me a serious answer after thinking about it. We have not deliberately concealed our interest in the "Three-Body" IP from you, but it is not a big deal without "Three-Body"."

After a brief conversation, Zhang Panpan left.

Walking out of the reception room, Yang Guang's assistant followed him and said, "Mr. Yang, which plan do you think he will choose?"

Yang Guangman said indifferently, "It doesn't matter which one he chooses."

The assistant continued: "If he chooses the first option, and really revitalizes the project, what if he wins the VAM agreement?"

Hearing this, Yang Guang stopped and glanced sideways at his assistant, sneered and said lightly: "As long as he signs this gambling agreement, it means that he is out from the moment. I have ten thousand ways There is a way to make him lose, and Yixing Media can get the copyright of "Three-Body Problem" at zero cost, I hope he can be more sensible and choose to get out of the game with money, so everyone can rest assured, haha..."

In other words, if Zhang Panpan chooses the first option to bet against Yixing Media, the company will not lose money if the film project fails. The investment in the media as a whole will not lose money, because there is a return of blood from the theater chain, and there are several investors who come to share the cost.

But the box office was less than 1 billion, and Zhang Panpan failed the bet. At that time, he could only perform the bet according to the agreement to transfer the copyright of "Three-Body Problem" to Yixing Media.

And it's a separate project, no matter how bad Zhang Panpan's film is, he doesn't have to worry about hurting the value of the "Three-Body" IP.

At this time, Yang Guang looked at his watch and ordered: "Go and arrange the flight the day after tomorrow."

The assistant nodded and said, "Okay."

Yang Guang has a more important task, which is to visit Da Liu in person. Cao Chenghui explained the important things of the big boss behind the scenes at this time, and went to the author of "The Three-Body Problem" to buy the copyright fee of 110 million. Full copyright of all science fiction works under the author's name.

...

On Friday, August 27th, Jingxinju Villa.

"At Yixing Media, the copyright boots you want to buy have landed." Tian Jiayi, who came back from the company, is reporting to Fang Hong on her daily work at the moment. We have contacted, and the progress is very smooth, and the two sides met in less than five minutes and the negotiation was completed."

When Yang Guang met Da Liu, he did not expect that the executives of Yixing Media came to see him, and finally confirmed that he was not a liar, but then Yang Guang offered 110 million to buy the full copyright of all works under his name. I was also dumbfounded for a while.

Moreover, the astronomical digital copyright fee of 110 million yuan also included compensation of 10 million yuan each for "Three-Body Problem" and "Three-Body Problem: Dark Forest", which had been sold for 100,000 yuan, which he did not expect.

After reacting, Da Liu only asked, "Are you kidding me?"

Yang Guang's answer was very succinct: "I'm not kidding."

After that, Da Liu agreed without hesitation, and the whole process only took four minutes of communication time, which was less than five minutes.

"The Three-Body Problem" can be sold for 100,000 yuan, and Yixing Media came to offer a sky-high price of 110 million yuan. There is really no reason to bargain.

Although Da Liu has done a decent job in the power plant under Yangqi Power Group, his job is also stable, and he is also an engineer. He can fish for a long time at work and is very comfortable.

But the salary is not high. He is over 40 years old and his desire to buy a house in the provincial capital city is far away. From the fact that he sold the copyright of "Three-Body" for 100,000 yuan, we can see the whole leopard. .

100,000 yuan is the salary of Da Liu's current work for several years, and 110 million yuan is an astronomical figure.

In the end, Tian Jiayi said: "The other thing is the copyright of "Three-Body Problem". Yixing Media offered two proposals, and Zhang Panpan chose the VAM agreement."

Hearing this, Fang Hong couldn't help but shook his head with a smile, and said leisurely: "Wouldn't it be nice to just take the money and get out? You have to fiddle with it to the end and have a good time. You don't want 50 million, you have to return it to zero."

Obviously, the historical trajectory of this part has changed again. From the moment Zhang Panpan chose the VAM agreement, he was doomed to play a lonely game. In the end, it was nothing, and the money was lost without the copyright.

However, Fang Hong was not surprised at all, because of the original historical trajectory, Mr. Lin of Youzu met Director Zhang's needs, and invested 1.2 billion to make 6 "Three-Body" movies, each with a budget of 200 million, led by Zhang Guide to direct.

For a project of this level, 1.2 billion is needed to make 6 films. Even if all the actors have zero pay, 1.2 billion is spent on special effects, which is not enough at all. The 1.2 billion budget is only enough to make 2 films. Saving a little money is not considered a publicity budget, and it is possible to meet the blockbuster standard, otherwise it will still be a low-quality product.

With a budget of 200 million yuan, one can imagine what kind of disaster it will be.

In the original historical track, Director Zhang had no experience in operating large-scale projects at all, and he did not have enough artistic ability to control the film. The sample films he produced were like PPTs, and the stories were not clear, let alone the soul.

As a result, the leader came to the company to inspect the company with great enthusiasm, and called out to watch the samples of "Three-Body Problem". , the result is that it spent 120 million to buy the copyright from Zhang Dao, and Zhang Dao and his wife got out of the game with the money.

Zhang Dao is so cool, not to mention earning 120 million with 100,000 yuan, he also beat Mr. Lin by 100 million or 200 million to get addicted to directing blockbuster movies.

President Lin became the victim of a big injustice, and was poisoned afterward. He lost money and even died. The reality of the plot is more bizarre than the movie itself.

However, in Fang Hong's life, with the intervention of Yixing Media, it is probably impossible to appear, and it is impossible for Zhang Dao to lose Yixing Media for several hundred million and then earn more than one hundred million in blood to get out of the game.

Rather... the bamboo basket fetches water in vain!

The "Three-Body Problem" project is not in a hurry to start anyway. Yixing Media has plenty of time to play with Director Zhang. At most, Director Zhang is using the copyright of "Three-Body Problem" as a price to enjoy the addiction of directing sci-fi movies. I am not that material, and then I am gone, out.

As for wanting to retire with more than 100 million yuan? That only exists in dreams.
