The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 78 Pretending to be a professional with a bad face

The reception room of Dunhuang Film Studio.

Both investors and investees, who had done basic understanding and testing, had warm smiles on their faces.

No, not entirely.

The young and handsome Wang Wei has a solemn face, his long eyelashes cast a shadow on his handsome face, and his thin lips purse slightly, giving people a feeling of being thousands of miles away, and he looks out of place among a group of social people.

Ito Takuma of the Island Investment Fund was not sure what was going on and asked Wang Chuanqi with a bright smile in a low voice: "Mr. Wang, Director Wang Wei doesn't look very happy. What's going on?"

Wang Chuanqi's smile did not change and he did not lower his voice: "That's it. Didn't I promise that all new film projects with external financing will have a third-party completion guarantee?"

"The insurance company that provides the guarantee is not free of charge. They will send people to supervise the filming process. Any major changes made by the crew must obtain the approval of their representatives."

"Director, you know, no one likes to have another person on the crew who is pointing fingers."

The so-called third-party film completion guarantee is the biggest guarantee that China Entertainment has been able to achieve in many financings over the years.

Third-party insurance companies will provide investors with a film completion guarantee. If something goes wrong with the production company or crew, the insurance company will bear the corresponding liability.

But Lao Wang has an idea——

Then during the negotiation, one person makes a bad face, and the other person makes a bad face, which increases the pressure, and the other two.

Yes, it is certainly possible to obtain higher returns by investing in other industries, but which one is lower risk than the film industry?

The other party just wants to strive for higher returns, which is understandable for investors, but Wang Chuanqi cannot accept it easily.

After experiencing a failed round of investment in China Entertainment, and still being able to sit here and talk about it, it means that the film industry is the choice they are most interested in, or even the only choice.

Wang Wei, who had a sullen face, was at the scene and perfectly played the role of blackface.

What we are talking about now is the first phase, and there will be second, third and even fourth phases in the future... In this case, every one percentage point increase will involve millions or even tens of millions of yuan.

He had no doubt that Wang Wei had this temper.

Hearing this, Ito Takuma was satisfied in his heart, but after glancing at Wang Wei, whose expression seemed even colder, he waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I understand, geniuses always don't like to be restrained."

As soon as the filming of the movie starts, there will be an eye liner - a representative of the out-of-control alert stationed on the set to monitor every move of the crew at all times. If any danger approaches, he will nip it in the bud immediately.

Looking at Wang Wei's stiff and stern face, the Indian investment representative secretly thought that his dissatisfaction was probably not only due to overutilization of materials but also to the need to share profits from a project that was destined to succeed.

Wang Chuanqi was not moved at all.

Whenever the island country refused to give in, Wang Chuanqi would look at Wang Wei and remind them that this master, who was already very unhappy, was not only a director, but also the big boss of Dunhuang... Be careful that he would become even more unhappy, and then suddenly

Take two shots.

This time, Lao Wang also learned the lesson of being "involved in money laundering" before and did not refuse all overseas funds.

Eight percent is indeed not high, but Wang Chuanqi refused to let go easily.

Thinking like this in his head, Ito Takuma said something completely different: "But if the rate of return is this, why don't I choose other industries? In fact, we have never lacked investment opportunities, and the film industry is just one of our choices.

"

Moreover, he can still smile extremely sincerely when someone tries to give him money.

The fundraising channels of these overseas investment delegations can be verified, and they have considerable strength in their countries. They can raise funds for the second and third phases to facilitate long-term cooperation.

If you are reluctant to let go of your children, you will not be able to trap the wolf. Wang Wei understands this.

Of course, it is low risk and low return, and Dunhuang is only willing to give a stable return of 8%.

Especially the other two "fat sheep" who were still queuing up in the hotel reminded him that he might not be Wang Wei's ideal financial sponsor after all.

Eight percent is certainly not his bottom line, but he hopes that both parties will establish a long-term cooperative relationship.

For a movie, even if it is a hit, it will take several years from project establishment to investment recovery, which means that no studio can grow entirely with its own funds.

He directly threw out a piece of data: "This is an authoritative report. Many overseas film funds invest in China Entertainment Films, and a return rate of 8% is considered a relatively high level of profitability."

I pretended to be a bad person on the set, and I also pretended to be a bad person in business negotiations, but it still worked well?

I'm sorry, I'm a professional in blackface, right?

But Wang Wei only had a black line on his face.

This plan means that regardless of the success or failure of the film project produced in Dunhuang, they can obtain stable income.

Isn’t the overall return rate of the investment fund he belongs to almost a negative number from the two previous investments in China Entertainment?

In order to avoid some risks brought by the five major studios, Dunhuang cannot rashly raise funds to expand shares or absorb domestic financial capital.

If Dunhuang wants to achieve rapid development, attracting foreign funds is essential.

This is of course a good thing for investors, but for directors and other creators, this constraint is simply too much for you...

How to show a high profile?

Even if we ask for money, we have to ask for money in a high-profile manner!

Arranging several investment representatives together to confuse their moods is one of them.

Wang Wei's cold face is just a set of words for islanders who choose the fixed income investment model;

As for Indians who choose to share the profits from investment in movies, he has another set of words -

The two sides have since entered a state of tug-of-war negotiation, arguing every tenth of a percentage point.

Unless the situation is so unlucky that even the insurance company cannot bear it, as was the case in Dunhuang three years ago, a film project with a third-party completion guarantee can generally guarantee that all production of the film will be completed.

Wang Wei: "..."

Takuma Ito knows that this data is true without looking at the analysis.

He still chose an investment plan that was independent of the film project, that is, providing funds to Dunhuang in the form of fixed-rate bonds.

Naturally, such negotiations cannot produce results in just a few days, but Wang Chuanqi slowly took the initiative in the negotiations.

What's the big deal now? This guy is so angry that even the media dares to directly criticize him, and then he can make the media feel defeated!

Moreover, as a rising star director in China, he may also be a big boss of China Entertainment in the future. Ito Takuma has no time to please him, so how can he dare to have any opinions?

Of course, it doesn't seem like the right time to please, so let's get down to business.

"It's like this. I plan to make the drama version of "The Gunslinger" as the first project of financing cooperation. To ensure that nothing goes wrong, I roped him in to be the series producer. He felt that it affected him to start a new movie, and he was unhappy.

!”

The best option is overseas funding with little interference to Dunhuang.

Ito Takuma could not be said to be threatened in this way, but Wang Weimo's emotional gaze still put a lot of pressure on him.

Thinking of this, the Indians laughed like a flower: "We feel your sincerity!"

Therefore, before the movie starts shooting, the insurance company will even analyze every scene of the movie one by one and formulate strict restrictions, not allowing this or that.

"I still hold the opinion that an investment return rate of 8% is too low." Takuma Ito emphasized again.

MMP, someone must be jealous of my handsomeness!

…

Hui Chang is sorry. I feel a little unwell and am in no condition. I only have one update today and will make up for the third update tomorrow...

By the way, I received a website short message today, I was promoted to PK, and there will be another round of recommendation renewal next week. I am so grateful to my family for their support. I love you so much, refill~
