In December, Hualong film held a year-end work summary meeting, which was presided over by CEO Shi Hao. The seven shareholders attached great importance to it. The boss attended the remote video conference in person and asked Mai Xiaoyu to attend in person.
Oh, is it necessary?
It's a waste of time in the meeting. I can copy many original paintings of little magic fairy 2!
If Comrade Luo hadn't specifically called to convey the meaning of the other six, Mai Xiaoyu didn't intend to delay Liu Xiaoli's time and let Lu Ning, director of Mengren film and Television Office, attend the remote video conference of Hualong film's year-end work summary on his behalf.
Hualong film has been established for more than a year, but it has not fully stepped on the right track and has been burning money.
The exclusion of Chinese in the United States is more serious... Not only Chinese, but also non whites are vulnerable to exclusion.
Hualong film is a film production and distribution company fully funded by Chinese people and established in the United States. Although we can develop the layout in the United States with the help of the network of seven shareholders other than Mengren, the resistance and difficulty are still not small.
So far, it has only reached a cooperation agreement with one cinema line in the United States to distribute Chinese films in the United States with the help of the other cinema line.
The distribution of these Chinese films is similar to that of "deadly ID" when it was first released. It is mainly released in Chinatown, Chinese community and other Chinese gathering places. The weekly box office of $5000 is the red line.
Reach 50 million, continue to broadcast; I'm sorry.
Chinese films made by big directors, big stars and big productions will not be distributed by Hualong film. They have their own international distribution channels.
At present, Hualong film industry has bought out and distributed mostly domestic small and medium-sized films.
The buyout price is not high, usually tens of thousands of dollars, but these films are not big directors or big stars. For Chinese in the United States, their attraction is limited.
While the box office is poor, Hualong film has to invest more than 100000 publicity expenses for each film, so it has been losing money.
You can't save the money, because you have to cultivate the market. Making western audiences slowly accept Chinese films requires a lot of time, energy and money, and the first stage of burning money is extremely important.
In addition to the United States, under the leadership of Shi Hao, Hualong film is also actively establishing distribution channels in other countries. These are all expensive, and it will pay off in the short term.
In short, the capital for the establishment of Hualong film is empty handed. The seven shareholders are old drivers in the capital market. They know how to play this "game", even if it is completely burned out, they don't feel bad.
All the leaders attended this time. From the video background, some were in hotels, some on yachts, some in their own study and some in offices. It is obvious that they took time for this meeting.
At first, Mai Xiaoyu was very curious. When Shi Hao finished the summary report of Hualong film's work this year, he understood after the seven leaders spoke one after another.
It's exciting.
This year, in order to go to the world, big cheap and huge cheap in the entertainment industry have joined hands with Hollywood film companies to jointly invest in the production of international blockbusters, which has affected the nerves of too many capital and interest parties.
The seven shareholders of American Hualong film are old drivers in the capital market. Can they stand holding a good hand and not playing outside?
What good cards?
Cute film and television!
Don't you think cute people are cheap and can't be considered a good card?
The exciting entertainment circle roared out of the country, and the deadly ID was taken by Meng people!
Cute people shot "deadly ID" first, successfully hyped the film, and had a deep understanding of the international film market. Now they get the help of seven big guys. It's unreasonable not to fart?
Can't you see how many domestic film and television companies are ready to circle money around the world?
Even if there are a lot of middle base and small base killed in the battle, at least they have commendable courage.
Let's look at Mai Xiaoyu, who keeps his own one-third of an mu of land and doesn't care about the development of Hualong film... You know, at the beginning, they were willing to promise Luo Xing to cooperate with Mai Xiaoyu. One of the reasons is that they took a fancy to the huge potential of Mengren film and television!
What happened?
"I sent someone to investigate. Wheat's twilight is very popular abroad. I think it's time to shoot the first film of twilight."
"I think so, too. There's no need to wait until the next year."
"Well, the first one can be started earlier and released earlier, and the second one can also be started earlier."
"Mr. Mai, you can't advise at this time."
……
In the video conference, Comrade Luo always listened more and talked less. The other six people were full of gossip and had only one theme. He suggested that Mai Xiaoyu shoot Twilight city as soon as possible.
Mai Xiaoyu answered happily: "twilight? I've made a plan. Ah Zheng is adapting the script and will start preparing for the shooting of the film in the second half of next year."
Start preparations in the second half of next year?
Isn't that not until the next year?
no way!
The opinion of the six people is to make preparations in the first half of next year, start shooting in the second half of next year, and then broadcast it in the schedule of the next summer vacation to make a lot of money.
So what?
The arrangement is so tight that my dead rabbit can't schedule!
And "Twilight" is a bait, specially used to circle the six sharp toothed alligator lambs.
Now the lambs are focusing on customers, which shows that the preparatory work has not been done enough. At this time, the collection effect will be greatly reduced.
Therefore, Mai Xiaoyu refused very simply: "it's impossible. I've made a complete plan. In this regard, I'm professional."
The words were extremely conceited. Although they were true, the six big men sounded a little harsh.
Most of the six people have all kinds of cooperation with Mai Xiaoyu, so the only one who did not cooperate and was unhappy because of Yang Ying took the lead in refuting: "your plan is to let the opportunity slip away from your eyes. Do you have to wait until the next year? This is your so-called specialty?"
President Li's Refutation was very impolite, and the other five did not agree.
Mai Xiaoyu had a bottom in his heart and also responded impolitely: "what makes you conclude that now is an opportunity? I really think foreigners are stupid people with a lot of money. They can make money by looking for some big names to make a movie?
As for you questioning my major... So, ah Zheng has recently created a book, and our company is planning to shoot. I can ask him to sell the book to Hualong for shooting, and then you will know whether I am professional! "
Mr. Li choked and was about to scold Mai Xiaoyu. The other five came forward to make a round.
"What subject matter?"
"How much is the investment budget?"
"Which Hollywood actors are you going to invite?"
……
"It's a science fiction movie..."
Mai Xiaoyu's first sentence aroused everyone's interest, including President Li.
Everyone is well aware of the status of science fiction films in the United States. However, the words behind Mai Xiaoyu almost made these polite old drivers swear.
"Our company's budget is 100000. If we shoot in the United States, we can save a lot of set props. Maybe more than 10000 dollars is enough. As for actors, just find a few from the American actors' Union..."
