Chapter 122 Investing
On the morning of March 3th, accompanied by Tang Yuan and Zhou Qi, Qin Mohan attended the endorsement signing ceremony for Sophie's products.The endorsement fee is 14 million, and the contract period is two years. This is Qin Mohan's first product endorsement. If it is not because the product is too embarrassing, Shen Fang would like to celebrate with her.

Qin Mohan has been recognized by the public since he filmed the MV "My Son Goes North" in January 2013. "Confession Balloon" topped the Chinese music charts, and then the Tomato TV Spring Festival Gala made a stunning appearance. The outside world gradually knew that Lianghui Company had a Push the little flower.Some merchants also began to notice Qin Mohan.Her perfect figure and pure and beautiful appearance are the reasons why Sophie willingly signs her endorsement with 1 yuan a year.Originally, Sophie planned to sign 50 million yuan for five years, but Zhang Jiajia rejected it.Five years later, Qin Mohan's worth will definitely be more than this, and he would rather have less and a shorter time.

Shen Fang is going to the company in the morning to meet Kong Sheng, a well-known director from Hengdian, and Hu Yi from Yiren Film and Television in Shanghai.

"Mr. Shen, you are really strong. There are not many people in Yanjing who can afford such a large office." Before Shen Fang arrived, Hu Yi and Kong Sheng had already toured around under the leadership of Zhang Jiajia.

"If you have idle funds, I suggest you buy some properties and put them aside. Yanjing's housing prices are far from reaching their peak." Hu Yishen Fang has always had a good impression. Yiren Film and Television has obviously gone downhill in the past two years. Celebrities have left one after another, but Hu Yi, who is the head of Yiren's family, has been taking the lead in Yiren all the time.Constantly accepting plays, recruiting newcomers, and setting an example for the artists of Yiren Film and Television.

"Young Master Shen, this is Director Kong Sheng, and "Crossing the Guandong" is the work of Director Kong." In Zhang Jiajia's office, she took the initiative to introduce Kong Sheng to Shen Fang: "Director Kong established a company called Dongyang Noon in Hengdian." The film and television production company, this time came to cooperate with us."

"Hi, Director Kong, please sit down." Shen Fang greeted the others to sit down and chat: "I wonder if Director Kong has any projects for us to cooperate with?"

"Well, Young Master Shen. May I ask if the film and television adaptation rights of "Langya Bang" belong to your company?" Kong Sheng asked with a look of embarrassment.

""Langya Bang"?" Shen Fang pondered for a while and didn't reply, but glanced at Hu Yi who was sitting on the side.

"Young Master Shen, it's like this. The novel "Langya Bang" was recommended to me by a fan of mine. He thought I was suitable to play Mei Changsu in it. I was filming in Hengdian at the time, so I asked Director Kong about the novel. Can it be adapted into a film and television drama? Director Kong was also very moved after watching it. When we contacted the author, we found out that this work has been bought by your company last year." Hu Yi explained the ins and outs of the matter, and the film and television circle It is not easy to meet a favorite script, so Hu Yi and Kong Sheng had to come to Shen Fang to try their luck.

"Director Kong, you also know that we are also a film and television production company. Although it has just been established, the film and television production plan for the drama "Langya Bang" has already been established. We plan to implement this project next year, so I really appreciate your request. I can't be satisfied." "Langya Bang" is a big drama of Yehu and Chengxing Tianxia in 2014, and it is definitely impossible to let it go to Kong Sheng.

Shen Fang's refusal was also expected by Kong Sheng.But the film and television industry itself is a matter of resource sharing and resource exchange: "Shen Shao, our company is preparing to produce a TV series "All Quiet in Peking". I don't know if you understand."

"Isn't your company producing a drama of "Battle of Changsha"?" Zhang Jiajia knew a lot about filming and television dramas in the industry.

""Battle of Changsha" was finished last month." Kong Sheng said: ""All Quiet in Peking" was a project we set up in September last year, and it was Mr. Zhou who was approached by Mr. Zhou of Guangdian. Currently we are The confirmed actors include Liu Ye, Cheng Baoguo, Jiao Huang, Liao Fan and others, and the filming is going to start in July."

"Hey, this drama is really important." Shen Fang couldn't help exclaiming after hearing these famous characters.

"The script of this drama is very good, and the actors are almost in place, but it has not been able to start filming, mainly because of the lack of investment." Kong Sheng continued: "The screenwriter of this drama is the famous Liu Heping, and the story is about the liberation of Peking. A real story that happened before involved a lot of inside information about the KMT-CCP ​​peace talks. Many investors were worried that even if it was filmed, they would not be able to pass the review, could not be aired on the stars, and would lose everything.” Kong Sheng is also very straightforward, and he did not hide anything. Instead, he directly told the inside story of the play.

Liu Heping is quite famous in the film and television industry. Although there are not many works, the success of the two dramas "Yongzheng Dynasty" and "Daming Dynasty 1566" can fully explain the quality of the script of "All Quiet in Peking" Yes, this drama encountered seven investments in the hands of Liu Heping, and there were seven embarrassing situations of withdrawal of capital. Later, Zhou Chu, who was also the director of Guangdian, recommended this drama to Mr. Hou of Dongyang Noon, but after the project was approved There has been no auction, but also because of investment problems.

"If Mr. Shen is interesting, I have the script and project proposal here, please take a look." Kong Sheng took out a stack of documents from his briefcase.He seemed to have forgotten about "Langya Bang", but concentrated on talking about the collaboration of "All Quiet in Peking".

"Okay, wait a moment, let me take a look." Shen Fang was very interested in this project, so he asked Zhang Jiajia to chat with them for a while, and then read the information by himself.

Shen Fang read it very seriously. In addition to the plan, he also had a general understanding of the script. This play tells the story of Fang Mengao, an underground member of the Communist Party of China who was lurking in the Kuomintang Air Force in 1948. In order to liberate Peiping peacefully, at the critical moment, he The happiness and tranquility of the people, the story of making difficult choices.The shooting budget is 1 million yuan, no wonder few companies dare to invest.

"Mr. Huo, do you have time now? I'm at Chengxing Tianxia, ​​if you have time, come over." Shen Fang didn't reply to Kong Sheng, but called Huo Mingda first.

"Oh, old Kong, what brought you here today." Huo Mingda was surprised when he saw Kong Sheng.

"Mr. Huo, Huo Mingda." Kong Sheng laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to be the general manager of Wild Fox Company. Fortunately, I asked Hu Yi to find Mr. Zhang."

"Mr. Huo, do you know each other?" Shen Fang asked, he didn't expect that Huo Mingda and Kong Sheng were old acquaintances.

"The two of us have known each other for seven or eight years. We had worked together on the movie "Qianmenlouzi Jiuzhangjiu". At that time, I was the producer and he was the director. There were many disputes." The relationship between the two.

"Look at this project." Shen Fang handed the script and proposal to Huo Mingda.

"Hey, the investment is quite large, 1 million." Seeing the investment, Huo Mingda also took a deep breath.

"There is no problem with the investment, the main reason is that the plot of this drama is a bit troublesome."

"Let me see." Huo Mingda opened the script: "Hey, Liu Heping's script." He has also heard of Liu Heping's name.

It took Huo Mingda about five or six minutes to go through the script roughly: "This script is a bit risky. It's a bit of a borderline game. If the game is a little stricter, it will probably be troublesome."

"You mean this drama is passable? The human factor is huge?" Hearing Huo Mingda's tone, Shen Fang's eyes lit up. Huo Mingda is an old man in the industry. For film and television dramas, those who can pass and those who can't I have a rough idea in my heart, if it is a passable project, then I can try it.At present, there should be no one in the bureau who will deliberately get stuck with his company's projects.

"Director Kong, we are very interested in this movie. I wonder how much investment is left?" Shen Fang put down the script and proposal.

"We've only pulled in 2000 million yuan of investment now." Kong Sheng was a little embarrassed. For a project of 2000 million yuan, we only pulled in [-] million yuan, which is just enough for the start-up capital.

"Okay, we'll vote for the remaining 8000 million." Shen Fang continued: "We'll invest 8000 million in this project, which will only account for [-]% of the equity. Then in the first half of next year, Director Kong will help us guide the drama "Langya Bang". See how."

"It's okay for me to direct the drama "Langya Bang", can we bring capital into the group?" Although Kong Sheng was very moved by Shen Fang's investment in the drama "All Quiet in Peking", he didn't want to let go of "Langya Bang". play.

Although Shen Fang didn't want to agree, he still fully recognized Kong Sheng's director skills. He looked at Huo Mingda and wanted to hear his opinion.

"You can bring capital into the group, you can only enjoy the benefits, and you have no copyright rights. The investment in the drama "Langya Bang" is more than 8000 million, and your investment cannot exceed 5%." The filming location of this drama is mainly in Zhejiang Province. In Hengdian Film and Television City, if Dongyang Noon, the local snake, cooperates, it should be much more convenient to shoot.

"Okay, that's no problem." Kong Sheng readily agreed. He wanted to invest in "Langya Bang" because he wanted to share the profits with the Wild Fox Company. "All Quiet in Peking" has a large investment, and a discerning person can tell at a glance that the income is not large, and it is lucky to be able to recover the cost. The drama "Langya Bang" has a high probability of success, even with a 5% investment, the return is not much worse than "All Quiet in Peking".
