Chapter 340 Read the script
Although Zhao Shixian didn't bring an IOU, there was no way to pay the public rations, but the two of them still opened a room in an outside hotel, and Zhao Shixian paid in advance, out of the 20,000 yuan.
Although Nanchen Village said that Nanyi's travel expenses were all in charge of Nanchen Village, but Nanyi's travel expenses are not a small amount, and he only reported a symbolic amount every year, which is only a few thousand yuan , the other big ones took the public account of Nan's control investment, and the small ones took his private money.
Nan Yi has no face to use the money for opening a house with a woman, and he can't use the public account. The source and destination of every income and expenditure in the account books of Nan's Holding Investment must be clearly marked. Few people can see.
Especially in the future, it will definitely be handed over to his son. If his son knows about this kind of expenses, Nanyi's old face will be lost.
After a good night's sleep, I went to Po Leung Kuk to donate the money the next morning.
At noon, the two of Nanyi ate the remaining 18,000 and ate Hesai. They ate hard, ate hard, and only spent more than half of it.
These days, money is still quite valuable. Even in Xiangtang, it is not possible for someone to spend 20,000 Hong Kong dollars for a meal without thinking about it.
Of course, if there are shark fins to rinse your mouth, two-headed abalone to eat and spit out, and geoduck to be fed to dogs, such a two-force way of eating that looks silly to others but feels good to yourself, it would still cost 20,000 yuan. Easy.
After dinner, Zhao Shixian was recalled to her company by a phone call. Nan Yi, who was left behind, thought about it and went to Donglaiwu to take a look.
Although Donglaiwu Film and Television Investment is under the name of Fang's Group, it still operates independently, and its finances are also accounted for separately. It turned out that Nanyi managed it himself. Later, he hired a reliable manager and let him go.
When I arrived at Donglaiwu, I negotiated with the front desk, and soon a fat man with a general size, wearing a pair of round glasses and a smile on his face came to Nanyi.
If there is any characteristic of this fat man, it is wretched, extremely wretched.
"Nansheng, why didn't you call ahead when you came over?"
"Notify you so you can hide the model you hooked up with?"
"Rumors are purely rumors, slander, someone must slander me, Nan Sheng, don't listen to other people's nonsense, I have a family."
"Okay, I don't want to take care of your personal affairs. Go to your office and tell me about the company's latest business."
"Okay, Nan Sheng, this way please."
When he arrived at the office and sat down, Nan Yi said, "You have been struggling a lot this year. You have edited one movie and made two movies."
"Nansheng, you also know that although I have come out of Shaw Brothers, my old man is still on Wireless. For the sake of Uncle Six, Aunt Fang said, I have to help. I don't want to shoot either, Shao The money you gave me is so little, and you can give me 30,000 yuan for one movie, which is not enough for me to deduct my attendance here."
"Okay, I know you're in trouble. Don't talk about attendance or not. The deducted money will be returned to you at the end of the year. I didn't expect you to work here every day. Okay, Ah Xiang, tell me about the company's work." Let's do it."
Nan Yi waved his hand, interrupting Wang Lin's complaint.
"Then thank you Nansheng." Wang Lin smiled wretchedly, picked up a document from the top class desk and handed it to Nanyi, "Nansheng, take a look at this, and I will explain it to you."
"good."
Nanyi took the file and opened it to read.
"This year we have invested in "Five Lucky Stars", "Men and Women", "Best Partner 2: Show Your Magical Powers", "The Drummer", "The Hollow Young Master", "The Flower Heart", "Home in Fragrance"塂", "Pry the Corner"...
It is suitable for placing advertisements, and the book is not too bad. I have not let it go. Most of them find the director and give some benefits in private to let him insert advertisements. I really regard it as a film and television investment for a few of them. do it.
Donglaiwu invested 500,000 yuan in "Five Lucky Stars" and 200,000 yuan in "Best Partner 2: Demonstrating Magical Powers". With the box office guarantee of the first part, this sequel is not short of money at all. I squeezed my own connections into it.
Both films had double returns, earning the company back 1.4 million. "
When Wang Lin reported his work, he did not forget to ask for credit for himself.
"Hehe, I need to point it out so specifically, are you dissatisfied with the share I gave you?"
"How come, Nansheng, I am quite satisfied with the share you gave. What I mean is that we Donglaiwu can increase investment in film and television, and no longer simply go for the purpose of placing advertisements."
Nanyi was not in a hurry to answer, and after reading the information in his hand, he said: "You have a good idea and a good job. Not only did Donglaiwu not lose money this year, but it also had a slight surplus, which shows that you put your heart into it.
If you make achievements, you will definitely be rewarded. I have decided that you can take half of this year's profits at the end of the year. "
Nanyi said this aggressively, but in fact, he didn't have many words.
At the beginning, Donglaiwu was positioned as an auxiliary company. It was said to be a film and television investment. In fact, most of the money was spent on meat buns and dogs. It was purely used for advertising fees, and the company's book profit was only a little over 700,000 Hong Kong dollars.
"Hey hey, thank you Nan Sheng."
"You don't have to thank me, you deserve it. It's not impossible to turn Donglaiwu into a real film and television investment company, even if it becomes a film and television company, it's also possible.
Ah Xiang, even if you want to make a film yourself, the company can also invest money for you.
However, I have to say something up front. From a long-term perspective, I am not optimistic about the future of Hong Kong movies. The box office in Hong Kong is too low to allow a large investment to recover its cost;
Too much reliance on the box office in other cities has buried hidden dangers. If the film and television policies of other countries change and Hong Kong movies cannot be sold, the film and television industry will collapse.
Moreover, people in Xiangxi are too eager for quick success, so "Five Lucky Stars" will make money, right? Does "Best Partner" make money? Everyone is jealous, this fat piece of meat, who doesn’t want to come up to get a share, follow suit, and shoddy production will soon catch up. A good IP will definitely eat it until it is rotten. "
"IP?"
"Intellectual Property, intellectual property, I extend it to ideas and creativity." Nan Yi explained, and then continued: "Ah Xiang, don't you yourself, the two films filmed this year are based on other people's scripts. Pick up a bit here, pick up a bit there and piece it together."
"Hey hey." Wang Lin smiled embarrassedly.
"Investment is definitely necessary, but I won't invest too much. Now the door is closed, just the two of us, and I'll tell you the truth. For me, movies are still a business, and I don't have any so-called feelings.
I don't care if the filming is good or bad, as long as I can make money, what if the sugarcane party smashes the sugar cane at the midnight show?
Invest in a few good dramas to save face, and we will invest in whatever else is popular. If others follow suit, we will too. Not only must we follow, but we must also come up with new ideas.
Aren’t the Five Lucky Stars very popular, except for Sanmao, who is the boss, they can be invited if they can, if there are three, they will be photographed for three yuan, for four, they will be photographed for four, and if they are tired of photographing, they will be photographed for Liuliu Dashun. Thirteen and eighteen arhats are fine. "
Nan Yi pursed his lips, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, "The citizens of Hong Kong are very impetuous now, and the property market is sluggish. Whether it is Omen, Jockey Club, Hong Kong Stock Exchange, or underground gambling stalls, business is good. It's incredible.
Everyone wants to get rich overnight, and the pie will fall from the sky.
Can we grasp their mentality? When filming a movie called God of Horses, the main character fell down and suddenly he could understand the language of horses. Then he discovered the big secret. It turned out that in every race, which horse ran first and which horse ran second, The horses are all negotiated.
He can understand horse language, and he bought a horse without winning the prize, so he bought 3T, won twice in a row, and won hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars. He moved out of the wooden house area and lived in Mid-Levels.
Regardless of whether he is eligible to move to Mid-Levels, don't think about the rationale, he just moved to Mid-Levels anyway.
When he is rich, he will take revenge on those who bullied him in the past; the horse who looked down on him before wants to post it now, but he dismisses it. The level is different, he is now a star who sleeps every night, drinking and drinking every day.
I went to the sea to shoot, as extravagant as I wanted, and made as many ugly words as possible from the rich, so that the psychology of ordinary audiences could be balanced and comforted.
Anyway, the central idea is that a poor man became a rich man through shit luck, and then lived a life of luxury, and jokes can be stuffed into it as much as he wants.
After filming God of Horses, you can also film God of Stocks and God of Gamblers. If the market response is not bad, then make a sequel until there is no money to be made.
After the poor becomes rich, you can also shoot the rich and poor. After the rich and unkind become poor, the life is miserable and full of jokes. This is also finished, let's shoot...
Well, forget it, we will talk about it later, this god and that god are enough for us to eat for a while.
By the way, let me add that if you want to improve the concept of the film, you can assign a big villain to the protagonist, such as God of Horses. After the protagonist lived a luxurious life, he felt that it was too boring to eat and wait for death, so he entered the real estate industry .
But he is not developing villas or high-end real estate, he is specializing in developing houses that are similar to public housing and selling them to the poor in Hong Kong. But by doing so, he offended Mr. Li, the boss of Zhangjiang Industry. Mr. Li is the behind-the-scenes boss of Xiangtang Real Estate. When he saw someone making trouble, he would definitely deal with the protagonist.
Boss Li also got his first pot of gold by betting on horses back then. Therefore, the confrontation between him and the protagonist was placed on the racetrack. They bet against each other on who could get more bonuses. The bet was 100 billion Hong Kong dollars or 10 billion Well, 100 billion is too much.
Well, that’s all I’m going to say here, and you can diverge your thinking and make up for the rest. "
After hearing what Nan Yi said, Wang Lin excitedly shouted: "Nan Sheng, this movie will definitely be a hit when it is filmed, and people in Xiangxi will definitely like to watch it. It's just that the directionality of this boss Li is too strong, is it true?" People can tell who they are talking about, will they offend Li Tongban?"
"Ha, I'm just giving you an example. You can change both the company name and the name. Just make a sarcasm. After all, we are here to make money, not to offend anyone." Nan Yi said with a laugh.
For the Hong Kong movies in the 1980s, the "Little White Movies" in the style of Xiaobaiwen are the code of wealth. The ordinary citizens of Xiangfang must love to watch them. lonely.
Petty citizens in the 1980s, young and Dangerous in the 90s, nostalgic for two thousand years, and in the first ten years after two thousand years, they began to operate small fresh meat on the assembly line, and squeezed out the wallets of little girls...
From this point of view, the movie is still edible.
"How about it, Ah Xiang, is my idea okay?"
"Of course, Nan Sheng, your idea will make us a lot of money." Wang Lin said with a thumbs up.
"Well, Donglaiwu will still maintain the current business scope, and register a "reading the script" film company, and this company will be used to actually invest and cast movies.
How about this, I won’t give you the dividends that I promised you earlier, it’s your investment, I’ll inject another 8 million into the script company, counting your 10% of the shares, what do you think? "
"Hey, thank you Nansheng."
Don't look at Wang Lin being fat, but his mind is very bright, how could he not know that he took advantage of it.
"Okay, let's put it this way, you don't need to buy any office space to read the script, just go directly to the Lijing Hotel and get two long private rooms. It will be more convenient for you to discuss the script with the actors in the future. If you are tired, you will have a bed to rest rest."
"Hey hey hey...hey hey hey..."
Wang Lin understood Nanyi's subtext, and the way he laughed was a bitch.
Nanyi was very relieved to let Wang Lin lead the investment and filming. As far as he knew, although Wang Lin had countless bad movies, he never let investors lose money, and every movie could maintain a profit.
As long as he can make money for himself, no matter whether Wang Lin is discussing the script with an actress, or secreting a little money, he can pretend to be blind and throw away the shopkeeper.
