tearjerker director

Chapter 35 Condition of Hong Kong Star

In fact, even if he didn't know about this reception before, he knew it now. The so-called drunken man's intention was not to drink. Obviously, the main reason for this reception was that He Tiancheng wanted to talk to Li Yi and Li Zhenye about things.

Sure enough, halfway through the reception.

He Tiancheng walked over with another middle-aged man.

"Li Sheng, why didn't you come to Hong Kong Star for the distribution of Xiao Lisheng's movie? If Hong Kong Star is solely responsible for the distribution of "The Gift in Room No. [-]", the box office will definitely not exceed [-] million!" He Tiancheng looked at Li Zhenye and Li Yi said.

Li Yi admitted that He Tiancheng was right, but saying this now was pure fart.

At that time, it was true that Li Zhenye did not look for Hong Kong stars.

One reason is that Hong Kong Star itself does not have a distribution license from the mainland, but it does not mean that if Hong Kong Star takes over the distribution, the mainland will not be able to publish.

In fact, although Hong Kong Star does not have a distribution license in the Mainland, Hong Kong Star does have many distribution companies with good cooperative relations in the Mainland.

Therefore, He Tiancheng was not bragging when he said that.

But the problem is still that problem, at that time, Hong Kong stars must be able to watch it!
"Boss He is in big business, and we're just doing small things, so we don't dare to bother Boss He." Li Zhenye said with a smile.

"The [-] million business is not a small business as Li Sheng said!" He Tiancheng looked at Li Zhenye with a smile and said.

"Haha, that was just an accident. After all, we didn't expect the final box office to reach [-] million." Li Zhenye laughed and laughed.

"OK, don't mention this, I heard that Director Li already has an idea for a new movie?" He Tiancheng looked at Li Yi with a smile and asked.

Li Yi was taken aback when he heard this, and then nodded.

He was not surprised how He Tiancheng knew that he had an idea for a new movie.

After all, he is also a director with a box office of [-] million. If He Tiancheng pays attention to him, he will naturally get news.

"It's just a little idea, not perfect." Li Yi admitted directly.

He does not reject cooperation, of course, it depends on the method and conditions of cooperation.

"It's good to have an idea. Hong Kong stars are very optimistic about Director Li's new film. Is Director Li interested in cooperating?" He Tiancheng asked with a smile.

"Oh? Thank you Boss He for your favor, but I don't know how Boss He wants to cooperate?" Li Yi asked noncommittally.

"All-round cooperation!" He Tiancheng looked at Li Yi and said.

"Boss He, please explain in more detail."

He Tiancheng smiled and said: "The movie is handed over to the Hong Kong stars. Director Li only needs to be responsible for the filming. The funds, actors, film announcements, Hong Kong stars can take care of everything!"

To be honest, Li Yi was a little surprised by He Tiancheng's appetite.

However, he definitely couldn't accept it.

"Sorry, Boss He, we only accept cooperation in the business of film promotion, and there is no demand for other aspects." Li Yi shook his head and said.

Sometimes, there really is no need for politeness.

"Li Sheng, Director Li, you should know that it is a big taboo in the industry for directors to invest in their own films, especially fully invested in their own films. It’s the right solution for professionals to do it.”

"Director Li is talented, he can focus on filming, he doesn't need to be responsible for the profit and loss of the film, and he doesn't need to worry about things other than the film, isn't it good?" He Tiancheng continued.

Li Yi was unmoved, shook his head and said: "Sorry, Boss He, we only accept cooperation in publicity and distribution. Even if we invest, we only accept cooperative financial investment."

He Tiancheng's face changed, but he quickly recovered his smile.

"How much investment quota is Director Li willing to transfer?" He Tiancheng asked again.

"We don't lack funds for small-budget movies, so it depends on how much help investors can give." Li Yi said neither humble nor overbearing.

Now, his movies really don't lack investment, and "Mom Loves Me Again" is also just a low-budget movie, with a production cost of several million or tens of millions, which is enough.

With the box office share of "The Gift of Room No. [-]" as a base, he really has no shortage of investment.

He Tiancheng nodded: "Half of the investment share, Hong Kong Star fully supports Director Li's new film! The details can be discussed later!"

Li Yi shook his head and said, "Sorry, we can accept no more than [-]% of the investment amount at most! At the same time, the investor must bear the issuance cost!"

Li Yi's conditions are harsh and harsh, but it also depends on what movie to watch.

The total investment in his films is not high. If it is not for better distribution, he will not transfer the investment quota at all.

Maybe he will in the future, but at least not now.

He Tiancheng's face changed slightly when he heard the words, he looked at Li Yi and said with a smile: "It seems that Director Li is very confident in his new movie, but the conditions are a little too harsh?"

Li Yi shook his head and said: "Since Boss He wants to invest in my movie, he also shows that Boss He has a lot of confidence in my new personal movie, and, to be honest, [-]% of the quota is not low. After all, my films are just low-budget, small-scale productions."

He Tiancheng glanced at the middle-aged man beside him, then turned his head and said, "[-]% of the investment quota, the announcement and distribution costs are settled independently!"

"Director Li, don't rush to refuse. Hong Kong Star is not a small company like Fanhai Film and Television. Such conditions are already very sincere. Director Li can think about it. After all, there are many factors that affect the box office of a movie, such as suitable Schedule, such as promotional resources, such as competitors, and so on!" He Tiancheng said directly.

""The Gift of Room No. [-]" was an unexpected explosion. Therefore, the competitors in the same period did not make any effort, and the film has already been released. But now Director Li's new film, I believe that many people are paying attention. When the time comes, it may not be the same It can be so smooth, and if we cooperate with Hong Kong Star, these will not be a problem!" He Tiancheng looked at Li Yi meaningfully and said.

Li Yi's heart was already crossed.

He Tiancheng's appetite was too great.And what does the last word mean?It sounded like it was reminding Li Yi that "The Gift in Room No. [-]" could break out purely because, before that, no one regarded him as a real opponent, but Li Yi's new movie is different.

But the problem is that although what He Tiancheng said is true, there is a hint of a threat in it.

Thirty percent of the investment quota, to be honest, is a few million things at most.

And in the follow-up, there will be a share of the announcement, that is to say, Li Yi must give up at least half of the benefits.

If it was the previous "Gift in Room No. [-]", Li Yi would have accepted such a condition offered by Hong Kong Star.

But today is different.

"The Gift of Room No. [-]" was well-received and well-received for its small-scale and broad-based plot.

Li Yi already had capital.

Although the strength of Hong Kong Star is indeed much stronger than that of Oceanwide Film and Television, it is impossible for Hong Kong Star to really invest all its resources in its own movies.

On the other hand, Fanhai Film and Television did not mention any investment at all, and the distribution share was also reduced to the lowest level.

Although this is largely due to the fact that Mu Nanxing and Oceanwide Film and Television are in urgent need of high-quality projects, so making concessions cannot be regarded as the norm.

But it is also much better than Hong Kong Star's conditions.
