Chapter 773 Are you free during the summer vacation?
Although they haven't done this kind of platter work for five or six years, Cheng Yu'an's team is still very good at operating it.
In fact, Cheng Yu'an is still timid. Not to mention covering the production cost of 500 million US dollars, even if he wants to borrow another 500 million US dollars from these two movies, people will willingly give him money.
According to Jianghu rules, the minimum channel fee is 30%.
How many domestic companies want to invest money abroad?
But Cheng Yuan was registered with the authorities and could not do such a thing.
Once you finish this book, it will be gone.
However, in this platter investment activity, Cheng Yuan still has to let him earn what he deserves. This is also a rule in the business world, and the superiors will not care about it.
Besides, China Film Group itself still wants to vote for it!
Cheng Yu'an dealt with it for a few days before handing over the specific matters to the professional investment team. He finally made a judgment on each plan.
At present, Wanda and Ahri’s bids are the most generous. Although they do not agree with Ahri’s Internet thinking, it does not affect the business.
Both companies have reached a high price of US$300 million. The former wants 32.7% of the box office revenue of the two films in Asia, and the latter needs to share 23.8% of the global box office revenue of the two films.
This offer is sincere, but Cheng Yuan wants to fish for a while longer.
The domestic film and television capital market has been turbulent because of these two films. The most intuitive reaction is that film and television stocks have collectively been bullish after the Spring Festival. As a leading film and television stock, the market value of Yuanyuan Film and Television has exceeded 100 billion in one fell swoop, becoming the first and only company on the main board with a market value of 100 billion.
Television Company.
Last year, due to the overall downturn in the market, coupled with the fact that Yuan Yuan's performance during the Lunar New Year period did not have the same dominance as in previous years, and its rare absence from the Spring Festival period, the company's market value has been hovering below 100 billion and unable to break through.
…………
Variety artists are actually more sensitive to the market than film and television people. This is due to the fact that the preparation and production cycle of variety shows is much shorter than that of film and television.
Since its independent spin-off, Remote Entertainment has enjoyed a prosperous life and has been favored by the capital market. It has now completed Series B investment totaling 1.5 billion yuan.
The sensitive production team has been aware of the antipathy towards "little fresh meat" and "traffic" both inside and outside the industry since the end of last year, as well as the call for "good actors", "acting people" and "powerful people".
Therefore, Remote Entertainment has been preparing a show about acting since October last year.
These people who make variety shows may not really want to choose good actors. They are most likely trying to cater to the market, but that doesn't matter. There is such a program that can give good actors a chance to perform, so the show is not in vain.
However, the show has been in preparation until now, and investment promotion has not yet begun. After the first batch of proposed guest lists came out, they were rejected by chief producer Wu Tong.
"The guests you invited are all famous actors. Although they are not popular, they have been acting for at least several years. So it is not appropriate to call your program "The Birth of an Actor". You and your group are actors in the first place.
, no need to be 'born' anymore. Just change the name."
"Change it to what?"
"How about "I Am an Actor"?"
"Isn't it too straightforward?"
"It just needs to be straightforward so that people can tell what kind of program we are at a glance."
The name is actually a small issue. Whatever it is called will not affect the format of the program.
"Brother Tong, it's easy to talk about the name. We are stuck on the tutor invitation now."
Wu Tong looked at the instructors he planned to invite: Song Dandan, Liu Huohua, and Zhang Ziyi.
"Isn't this great? They are all powerful seniors and their words have weight."
"Teacher Shan Shan and Brother Huo Hua have already reached an agreement, but Zhang Ziyi has not let go."
"If Zhang Ziyi doesn't want to, just find someone else. Mr. Zhou, Teacher Jiang Wenli, and Li Bingbing are all suitable."
"The three of them don't often appear in variety shows."
"Zhang Ziyi doesn't do many variety shows either."
"But Zhang Ziyi is very popular. She is a three-time Best Actress and is making a comeback after giving birth."
Wu Tong finally understood that the program team was determined to invite Zhang Ziyi to come over to increase the popularity.
"What aspect is she mainly dissatisfied with? The pay or the treatment?"
"No, she doesn't want to be a regular guest on a variety show."
"Didn't you do your job?" Never underestimate the efforts a project team can make to invite their favorite guests.
To be exaggerated, I can really do anything.
"Our coordinators serve her like the Queen Mother, but she just doesn't say what else she wants."
Wu Tong thought for a while and said, "I will take care of Zhang Ziyi's affairs. I know what she wants."
"What does she want?"
"I can't tell you this yet. I'm going to find someone first. As long as this person lets go, I guarantee that Zhang Ziyi will come over and record the show for you."
Wu Tong guessed what Zhang Ziyi wanted, so he came to find Cheng Yu'an.
After listening to Wu Tong's words, Cheng Yu'an also understood what Zhang Ziyi meant.
Zhang Ziyi's meaning couldn't be more obvious: "You want to invite me to be a permanent guest, right? In exchange for a film contract."
Cheng Yu'an smiled, not feeling that Zhang Ziyi's request was too much.
When you invite someone to be a guest, you have to satisfy the other person's needs. Remote Entertainment is backed by the largest film and television entertainment company in the country. I can't ask you for a movie, right?
"Don't worry, I'll take care of this matter. How is your program progressing now?"
"Most of the competing actors have been finalized, and we have reached an agreement with Oriental TV. The show will be launched during the summer vacation."
Remote entertainment also plays the art of balance, juggling between several major channels such as Mango Channel, Blue Channel and Oriental Channel.
After giving Mango Channel "Longing for Life", they gave "Running Man" to Blue Channel. Blue Channel's blind editing caused dissatisfaction with remote entertainment, so they gave "Happy Comedian" to Oriental Channel. Local satellite TV was not big enough, so they joined forces.
Yangma is producing a cultural and museum variety show - currently lobbying major museums.
We get along very well with all the major TV stations remotely.
Cheng Yu'an looked through the cast list. There were many acquaintances, but he had no objections: "Just do this. I will contact Ziyi as soon as possible. When will you invite investment?"
"At the end of the month."
Cheng Yu'an quickly went through it in his head: "Okay, I'll get Zhang Ziyi for you before the end of the month." With Zhang Ziyi joining, it will definitely be easier to attract investment for the show.
The combined commercial value of the other two guests is less than that of Zhang Ziyi alone.
After talking about Zhang Ziyi, Wu Tong rolled his eyes and smiled flatteringly: "If you can persuade Yifei..."
"Don't count on me on this matter," Cheng Yuan said with a smile, "If you have the ability, go and ask her. As long as she nods, I have no objection."
"It's not that I haven't told her before," Wu Tong said.
"What did she say?" Liu Yifei had never told him about this.
Wu Tong said: "If you don't want to, what else can you say? I said that I am not talented enough and I am afraid of making a joke when I serve as a mentor.
"I settled for the next best thing and said that instead of being a resident instructor, I could just be a guest on the flight. Let's give it a try.
"I didn't agree to it either. He said that variety shows have scripts. You can't say what you want to say, and you have to be forced to do what you don't want to do. No matter how you say it, you won't do it."
"Then there's nothing I can do." Cheng Yu'an laughed, "Since I went to Running Man last time, I've been feeling bad and don't want to do variety shows."
Wu Tong said shamelessly: "Are you free during the summer vacation?"
