China Entertainment has been a director since 08

Chapter 550 Huayi’s plan

Some people say that Hong Kong films kill themselves.

This sentence may not be unreasonable.

The phenomenon of following the trend is extremely crazy, and there is no copyright protection for film and television at all.

Most people want to imitate and follow the trend instead of innovating or making good movies.

Hong Kong films have weakened, and Chinese-language films have entered a new era dominated by the mainland film industry. Although there is also a phenomenon of following the trend, it is not as crazy and obvious as during the Hong Kong film period.

This is not to say that mainland film and television companies are more noble and ethical, but because copyright protection is like the sword of Damocles hanging above their heads, deterring all parties at any time.

On the golf course, the big and small Wang brothers of Huayi were walking and talking, followed by seven or eight people including assistants, caddies, beauties, and others at a short distance.

"As you said, what exactly do you think?"

Huayi's decision to film "Nuwa Mends the Sky" was not the result of a collective discussion among the company's top executives, but rather Mr. Wang's sudden announcement to the media.

So much so that the king always receives calls from some partners and looks confused when asked about it.

Huayi is going to film "Nuwa Mends the Sky", why don't I know about it.

Although Mr. Wang continues to hide behind the scenes and appears in front of the media less and less often, Huayi seems to have entered the era of Mr. Wang.

But don't forget, Mr. Wang is still the chairman of Huayi Company.

Mr. Xiao Wang chuckled and explained: "That's what I think. Before, Haotian Media's "Hou Yi Shoots the Sun" was so popular, and it made a lot of money. Now a sequel, with an investment of up to 20 billion, is so popular. , If you don’t borrow this east wind, it will be in vain!”

"Oh, tell me your plan!" The king said calmly.

"I did a little research and found that this kind of movie can be made well with an actual investment of three to four billion. When we subscribe, the investment will be 10 billion. It's not excessive. By then, we can make several hundred million in net profit. As for whether the box office is good or bad, it doesn't actually matter." A gleam flashed in Mr. Xiao Wang's eyes.

Don't look at how much money is invested in promoting a movie, and then calculate the profit instead of loss once the box office comes out. In fact, most film and television companies make money because it involves investment operations and tax avoidance.

Unlike other industries, the cost of film and television is difficult to calculate.

Just say a set of clothes, it can be 50 yuan, or it can be 500 million!
It’s very difficult to check this kind of thing.

"In terms of directing, Mr. Xu is very good at it." Mr. Xiao Wang continued: "Considering that Mr. Xu is getting older and his energy is not as good as before, we can find another director to co-direct."

Co-directing has become increasingly common.

Some large-scale productions are no longer directed by one director, but by two directors or even three directors.

"Zhong Lei, don't forget, Haotian Media is not a vegetarian. Even though Li Hao is young, he is not easy to bully. He is different from Zhou Xingchi." The king reminded: "Don't forget, "Man Jiang Hong" has learned from the past."

"Man Jiang Hong" is a show of strength by Haotian Media. When it shows its power, all parties have to lose face and compromise.

It's useless for anyone to intercede.

If it were Zhou Xingchi, he would have ignored the bonus anyway, and if he was bullied, he would have been bullied.

At most, he will be sprayed by Zhou Xingchi's fans, but he won't lose a few kilograms of meat.

The entertainment industry is always forgetful. After a while, everyone will forget about it. Even if someone brings up the old story again, it won't cause any trouble.

"So what?" Mr. Wang asked back: "So what if the movie can't be released?"

The king was startled.

Yes!

Hundreds of millions have already been pocketed, and it doesn't matter if the movie isn't released.When the time comes, Huayi will at most suffer miserably and channel the anger of investors.

The king couldn't help but feel excited.

You know, their lives have been difficult in recent years, and they have suffered huge losses.

Not only was he unable to get money, but he also vomited out everything he had eaten before.

That's it, most of the shares held by the two were frozen by the judiciary.

"If that's the case, we can't operate in the name of Huayi." A flash of light flashed in Mr. Wang's eyes: "After completing this vote, we will quit, retire and enjoy life without worrying about it anymore."

Now, in fact, the two people hold few shares.

The shares held by Mr. Wang account for only 1.411%, and most of them have been frozen by the judiciary.

On the contrary, it is aliens, Ali and himself hold 8.034% of the shares!

At this time, you can make a lot of money, so naturally you have to make a move, otherwise the two of them will only make much money.

"Don't worry, I will do it well." Mr. Xiao Wang was full of confidence.

"The plot is quite crucial, what do you think?" Mr. Wang asked.

To set up a shooting project, you must first set up the project successfully.

If there is any infringement, with Haotian Media watching, it may be difficult to even get the project approved.

Mr. Xiao Wang chuckled: "In terms of plot, this is what I think, and the emotional drama is the selling point. Isn't it that in myths and legends, Fuxi and Nuwa are connected and become husband and wife? Let's introduce two third parties."

Xiao Wang always said what he was thinking.

At this time, Haotian Media Group held a press conference, and Vice President Cai Yinong presided over it. The general meaning was: Anyone can make Chinese 3D special effects blockbusters, and anyone can shoot ancient mythological stories, but when it comes to the book "Buddha" The original plot, setting, title, and film and television adaptation rights belong to Haotian Media and cannot be interfered with by others.

At the same time, examples of infringement defendants over the years were cited.

After the press conference, Cai Yinong arrived at Li Hao's office and said helplessly: "Director Li, I think this press conference is just for the blind, a waste of expression!"

"They probably won't miss this good opportunity to ride on the popularity. Those people are crazy about making money." Cai Yinong said with certainty.

Since joining the Haotian Media family, Cai Yinong has become the vice president of the company and the chairman of Tangren Film and Television. Cai Yinong's status and influence have greatly increased, and his horizons have also been greatly expanded.

She knew those people too well.

Many film and television companies do not really want to make TV series and movies.

At the beginning, she led Tangren and worked hard to make TV series seriously, but she could not break through the bottleneck and was not good at capital operations. She was actually very unhappy watching those companies continue to stir up the storm.

She is very serious about this industry.

"Haha, let's talk about the ugly things first!" Li Hao smiled: "You know, any company will have a corresponding price for anything it does. If someone really wants to die, then we can't be blamed."

Li Hao naturally knew that this would not dissuade those who wanted to gain popularity.

But some things must be done first. In this case, when the swordsmen meet, the truth will be on their side, lest people think that he is too domineering.

"It's almost time for Tangren Film and Television to announce its financial report. How is it? How is this year?" Li Hao smiled and asked about the situation of Tangren Film and Television.

Tangren Film and Television currently has the highest market value among all film and television companies, second only to Tiangong Animation, and is a leading stock.
