my crew is not human

Chapter 279 Li Xiaoxiao Visits

In the office today, Li Xianyun is working.

Chen Yu came in: "Boss, Li Xiaoxiao called and said she wanted to see you."

"Li Xiaoxiao? When will you be there?"

"I'll be there in the afternoon, and I'm asking if you're interested in meeting and chatting with her." When Chen Yu said this, she had a strange smile on her face.

Damn, the story of Lao Tzu and Li Xiaoxiao was just a few days ago. You didn't come at that time. What does this penetrating expression mean?
Li Xianyun nodded: "Okay, let her come to the company."

"She said she was going to meet you at the Xiangze Hotel."

Uh……

Now I understand why you have that look on your face.

"Do I have any plans for the afternoon?" Li Xianyun asked.

"It's not very important, the script of the next stage will."

"You are responsible."

The restaurant on the second floor of Xiangze Hotel.

Li Xiaoxiao came dressed in white, followed by a middle-aged man, Tang Lei, Li Xiaoxiao's manager, and seven or eight entourages behind her.

They are a group of people who travel with seven or eight people, which is considered low-key, and some who like to pretend to bring twenty or thirty.

have seen.

Tang Lei smiled and walked to Li Xianyun first, Li Xianyun shook hands with him, and asked them to sit down: "Sit down, my secretary didn't tell me that you are coming too, so I didn't prepare a bigger box."

"It's okay, let's squeeze." Tang Lei smiled.

Of course he could hear Li Xianyun's dissatisfaction, not because the secretary didn't tell him, but because they didn't tell the secretary.

But a businessman relies on a thick skin.

At this moment Tang Lei said directly: "When I called, Zhu Chen was beside me, so it's not convenient."

"Really? What? Are you planning to change jobs?" Li Xianyun asked with a smile.

Li Xianyun immediately understood the elegance of listening to Xiange.

"That depends on whether Dong Li is willing to take him in or not." Li Xiaoxiao sat beside Li Xianyun with a pitiful expression.

Li Xianyun laughed loudly: "Will no one want you, Li Daxing? You are joking."

Li Xiaoxiao sighed: "No matter how big the wrist is, if the film is smashed, the reputation will also be damaged."

People recognize you as a star, recognize your price, isn't it because you can compete at the box office?

The box office is a double-edged sword. If you succeed, you will be king, and if you lose, you will be a thief.

The defeat of killing the gods was a blow to Zhang Damou, Chen Gan, and Li Xiaoxiao.

Of course, this blow will not make them shattered, but it will definitely be affected.

The most typical thing is to continue to take films in the future, and you brag to others that our family Xiaoxiao can fight [-] million box office alone, and people will tell you with killing gods, so many wrists add up to only [-] to [-] million, how do you explain?
Someone who is not ignorant will say: This is the director's fault.

He didn't make any good for himself, and even offended the director and producer.

You can't throw the pot away, and I still don't want to admit it.

The only thing we can do is to make as good a picture as possible.

But like this, what are you looking for me for?
Li Xianyun was surprised.

His film and television company is making money, but his reputation is not very good.

Everyone says that Li Xianyun, who was born as an Internet writer, makes films just like writing Internet novels. There is no connotation, let alone artistic pursuit.Zhang Damou, who also wins by pictures, is art, but Li Xianyun is nothing.

But this is really not a prejudice, there is a difference between the picture and the picture, Zhang Damou's film does not have a good plot, but the picture does have an artistic beauty, Li Xianyun's picture only cares about adrenaline, it is enough to stimulate the excitement.

If Zhang Damou is: plot, logic, what is it?

Then Li Xianyun is: aesthetics, art, what is that?

So for Li Xianyun's film, it's okay to praise newcomers, but it's obviously not good to praise stars.

Li Xiaoxiao is still on the front line, he couldn't figure out why it was necessary for Li Xiaoxiao to change jobs and find him?
So Li Xianyun said directly: "I don't have a plan of more than [-] million yuan behind me, and the capped single-chip investment is [-] million yuan. If you are looking for me, I am afraid that you are looking for the wrong person."

Tang Lei said: "We know your shooting methods, and from your performance in the past, you have done a great job in the industrialization of film and television, but film and television is art after all, and we still have to pursue artistic performance. I believe Mr. Li will not always be like this."

Li Xianyun agrees with this: "Well, there should be some artistic pursuits in the future. But artistic pursuits are unstable, and they don't require a lot of investment. Who knows when I will change my mind, not necessarily The pursuit of top-quality commercial productions may be the pursuit of real literature and art."

"But there are always opportunities." Li Xiaoxiao said: "With the current conditions of Yisheng Media, there are many companies willing to cooperate with you. The most important thing is that your output is too fast and too much, which will squeeze Survival of other film and television companies. Mr. Li, you don’t really think that more than half of Huaguo’s major productions in the future will be produced by your company, do you?”

Li Xiaoxiao had a point.

At present, there is no film and television company that can produce more than six films every year, with an investment of 5000 million in a single film, and a theater chain with an estimated market price of [-] million, let alone adding a bunch of Internet universities.

Even if Yisheng Media can do it, it doesn't mean that the theater will play it for you.

The above is also controlled.

Last year, Huaguo released about 280 movies, about 20 in theaters, and about [-] movies with a box office of over [-] million.

Attention, it is over [-] million at the box office!

There are only four movies with an investment of more than [-] million, and the one with an investment of more than [-] million is God Killing.

In other words, with the production method of Yisheng Media, six theaters are produced a year, each of which can claim to have invested more than [-] million yuan, and it is not false at all, directly surpassing the sum of all film and television companies in the field of large productions.

What do other people think if you do this?
At that time, if you can shoot it, it may not be released for you.

There are many movies that cannot be online after filming.

It's not that Li Xianyun didn't think about this issue, but he has just started it now, and there won't be too many problems for the time being, but if he does this every year, it will definitely cause resistance from the industry.

What Li Xianyun didn't expect was that Li Xiaoxiao noticed things that many film and television companies hadn't noticed yet.

He smiled slightly: "Yes, Star Li is not only well-informed, but also very business-minded."

Li Xiaoxiao gave him a white look: "There are no secrets in the circle, besides, Yisheng Media is not a small person now, many people are watching your every move, and you have cooperated with Shengda not long ago, where did you get the information. Oh By the way, my contract with Shengda is about to expire, but I want to come out and do it myself."

"Not surprising." Li Xianyun nodded.

With such a big wrist, the contract expires, so he can come out and be his own boss.

The previous statement was a deliberate show of favor: it's not that I want to do it myself, it's that you don't want me.

The turning point of the question was too blunt, so Tang Lei gave Li Xiaoxiao a dissatisfied look: If you don't know how to negotiate, don't keep pushing.

It's a pity where Li Xiaoxiao and Li Xianyun's friendship is, it's impossible for Tang Lei to do this kind of thing without her.

Apart from being stingy, Li Xianyun is now famous for not liking to talk about cooperation with his agent, and the bigger the name, the less he likes it.

"I hope to cooperate with you." Li Xiaoxiao said: "And I can also help you contact other film and television companies. Yisheng Media wants to develop a film and television matrix, and can't do it alone. Give other film and television companies some benefits, and they won't become hinder."

Li Xianyun smiled: "I can do it myself."

With such a small circle, Li Xianyun now knows more and more bosses of film and television companies, so she doesn't need Li Xiaoxiao to introduce them.

Li Xiaoxiao rolled his eyes at him: "Let's give him a chance anyway. You can become a shareholder of my company. If there are real high-quality productions, just give it a priority."

Tang Lei also said: "Old Mo came out, I heard you also voted for him?"

Some time ago, Mo Rui officially left Huayou, took Han Xinyu with him, and established Mohan Studio, which also specializes in artist brokerage.

At that time, Li Xianyun had completely controlled Yi Sheng's brokerage, and without being restricted by Dou Lingling before, he invested 100 million in Mo Rui, taking a five-point stake.

Just for the sake of it.

He doesn't care about making money on things he can't control.So after throwing away the 100 million, he didn't even ask once during this period of time, and he still doesn't know how the business is going there.On the contrary, it was Mo Rui who pushed a few artists over, and Li Xianyun took care of them, and they made arrangements for the following scenes.

Pure help.

But that's his relationship with Han Xinyu, it doesn't mean he has this kind of friendship with Li Xiaoxiao.

Hearing what Tang Lei said at this moment, Li Xianyun said with a smile: "Oh, a small business has little to do with it."

Li Xiaoxiao hurriedly said: "We hope to adopt that model, and I can give you ten points."

Tang Lei glanced at Li Xiaoxiao dissatisfied.

Artists and managers have a clear division of labor. When it comes to negotiating prices, it’s best for the manager to come forward. The only meaning of an artist is the product. At most, it’s good to talk about friendship at the wine table. Don’t raise the price, otherwise it will easily hurt the relationship and be difficult to deal with.

Li Xiaoxiao accidentally crossed the boundary, and Tang Lei felt helpless.

Li Xianyun shook his head: "It's not about shares."

Whether 5.00% or [-]% is not important to companies that cannot control the company and lack post-investment management experience.

When the boss wants to make money, there are many ways.Li Xianyun doesn't do it himself, but it doesn't mean he doesn't understand it.

What's more, Li Xiaoxiao has no ambitions here.

Like Mo Rui and Dou Lingling, she wants to use Li Xianyun's film and television industry line to cultivate her own young artists - Li Xianyun's side is the foundation, and she will go to other places when she has the foundation.

As for Li Xiaoxiao herself, she is aiming at Li Xianyun's possible big production in the future.

Li Xianyun said directly: "I will not cultivate artists that I cannot control, this is my principle."

Li Xiaoxiao was very unhappy: "Boss Li, your style of eating alone is a bit too much."

Li Xianyun chuckled lightly: "I eat the produce of my own family, why do I eat alone? Xiaoxiao, I can understand that you want to be a boss. But a good artist doesn't mean a good businessman... You also know the relationship between me and Xin Yu For feelings, I invested in Lao Mo's company and also used his artists, but even so, I didn't use Xin language in my recent films."

Li Xiaoxiao wanted to say that it was because she was not interested, but under Tang Lei's eyes, she still realized that she couldn't say this.

So he looked at Li Xianyun with resentful eyes, which meant to wake up the good relationship he had formed with him.

Looking at the waves of autumn water and feeling the lingering resentment, what Li Xianyun thought of was Li Xiaoxiao's attitude on the bed that made him a little dissatisfied.

Dry!
I always feel that I am satisfying you at that time.

No nostalgia!
But what does it mean to say that I don't want to miss you, and I ran over with disobedient legs full of expectations to have dinner with you?
Li Xianyun feels that being a man is contradictory.

With a laugh, he said: "There are many ways to do business, don't just copy them mechanically. This way doesn't work, maybe another way will work. Find out more about each other's needs, maybe there will be an entry point."

Li Xiaoxiao snorted: "Then what can Boss Li do to get started?"

Li Xianyun said: "I'm a little short of money recently, instead of me investing in you, you should invest in me."

Li Xiaoxiao immediately became interested: "Yi Sheng Media wants to raise money?"

This is good news!
Yisheng Media is now a cash cow, under the jurisdiction of Yisheng Film and Television and Ghost Town, both of which are sweet pastries for making money.

Li Xianyun was also happy: "No, it's not that Yisheng Media wants to raise funds, but to start a new one."

"New? What?" Li Xiaoxiao was puzzled.

"Cinema." Li Xianyun replied.

Li Xiaoxiao was stunned: "Do you want to buy a movie theater?"

Li Xianyun nodded: "As you said, I have made too many films, and the resistance from all parties may be stronger. But if I have my own theater chain, who will resist?"

Li Xiaoxiao was speechless for a moment: "Theatrical management and film and television production are not the same concept, they are completely different business models. Just because you are excellent in film and television production does not mean that you are excellent in theater management."

"That's right." Li Xianyun did not object: "That's why there is a need for financing."

Laozi is already a mature and profitable industry, why should he accept investment?

It must be needed by immature and risky industries.

This is how business is done.

Investing is not only about money, but also about resources and risks.
