Chapter 229 People Walk to High Places (Please subscribe for the second update!)
Tang An picked up three bowls of rice in a row and finished eating almost all the dishes on the table before putting down the bowl.

Sighing contentedly, he drank half a glass of water and asked about what happened in the company this month.

"It's okay. Several movies I invested in last year were sold out, and the box office lost money. Of the 4 movies, 3 did not exceed 100 million, and the highest box office "Blessed Ears" was 170 million."

"It's normal to lose money. Movies invested with hundreds of thousands of dollars basically won't have many viewers." Tang An didn't care.

"However, there are three films that have sold TV copyrights. "Blessed Ears" sold 30 yuan, the other two martial arts films sold 50 yuan together, and a movie starring Supergirl basically didn't get back 2 yuan. All in all, the loss was less than 10 yuan."

"If you lose 10 yuan, you will lose it. How is "Painted Skin"? Is the filming going well?"

After all, Wu Ershan is a rookie director, without any experience in directing film and television dramas. Zhao Wei and Zou Xun have higher status than him. If there is some conflict, he can't handle it.

"I went to "Painted Skin" twice, Wu Ershan is fine, the crew is pretty calm, but Zhao Wei and Zou Xun don't seem to get along very well."

Tang An frowned. The filming has only started for more than a month, and it really doesn't stop.

"Nothing happened, did it?"

"I asked Yang Mi about that matter, fighting for the dressing room or something, but nothing happened. Don't worry, they have been filming for more than ten years, and they still have basic professional ethics. , will not affect the shooting progress!" Xu Manyun laughed.

Women don't care about their professional ethics when they play tricks, it seems that it's best to go to Hengdian to have a look!
After a busy month, it was rare to take a day off, and I woke up early in the morning feeling refreshed.

Stretching out his hand to touch the side, the bed was still cold, Xu Manyun had already woken up.

After getting up in slippers, brushing his teeth, washing his face and eating breakfast, Tang An went to Huayi immediately.

"Apart from "Painted Skin" and "You Now You See Me" during this time, go to Jiangcheng and find a Jiangcheng Huaqi Film and Television Production Company. They are currently preparing a small movie "People on the Journey", and won it. this project."

"Jiangcheng Huaqi Film and Television?"

Xu Manyun was puzzled, why should such a small-budget film invested by a medium-sized company deserve attention.

"That's right, the location is at No. 7 Xudong Street, Hongshan District. If they want to sell the script, they can sell it. If they don't sell it, they can make a joint venture. If they can get the copyright, it doesn't matter if they spend an extra one or two million yuan!"

It takes at least half a month for a complete script to be written, even if it is copied from the impression in the head, the script of the shot will take time to do slowly.

Anyway, others have ready-made ones, so why spend that energy, it's nothing more than spending more money.

As for how to negotiate for the greatest benefit, there is no need for Tang An to teach this. He has been the general manager for three years.

"Is the copyright necessary, all of it?" Xu Manyun asked puzzled.

"With the copyright in hand, you can invest at a premium."

Xu Manyun nodded, but didn't delve into it.

"do you have anything else?"

"Wu Jing has a project looking for investment, you go and get in touch."

Xu Manyun wrote it down, "Any other requests?"

"It's enough to invest, and it's only two or three million."

It's not that Wu Jing, Xu Zheng, and Tang An want to sign them, but those few projects will definitely get a piece of the pie if they have a chance.

In the future, it will not be the same as now. The big directors all start their own companies. People like Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou who are capable and willing to stay in one company are no longer available.

Chen Guofu used Huayi as a springboard, and Tang An himself had no choice but to stay for two years temporarily, and other capable people would still have the same idea.

The greater the ability, the greater the ambition.

Ning Hao stayed at Galloping Pony for a while and then left, becoming his own boss.

Even if Xu Zheng is facing a giant like Guangxian, he can still get most of the share of "囧囧 in Hong Kong". After excluding the distribution fee, Guangxian really doesn't earn as much as Xu Zheng.

Is it possible that because I supported them in the early stage, I followed them with all my heart?

impossible!
Everyone goes to higher places. Hua Yi not only leaves Chen Guofu, but also Zhu Mo, the director of the public relations department, will follow Chen Guofu to start a business at that time, and other executives will leave half of it in a few years.

Feelings and kindness are all nonsense, this is a world where interests come first.

After winning "People on the Journey", it is estimated that after "Thailand", Xu Zheng will be divided into the following series.

There is no way not to give it. Ten years from now, people will make a movie by themselves. Even if the name of the "囧" series is not used, the box office will not be too bad. After making two movies, the IP will be raised.

At that time, the company is willing to issue more.

Unlike now, there are only a few distribution companies in China that are capable of distributing a movie worth more than [-] million yuan. Even if you make a movie yourself, you still have to kneel if you don’t have a big company to distribute it!
