China Entertainment’s Born Protagonist

Chapter 340 Car Building and Investment

After Mo Beiwu came to the office, he made out with Zhang Nanyi without hesitation, and then sat down to drink tea.

As soon as she opened her mouth, she started talking about the car factory.

The name of the car factory was obtained by Zhang Nanyi. Because building a car was Mo Beiwu's dream, Zhang Nanyi used her name and called it Arctic Automobile, whose English name is Arctic.

The car factory is now on track.

Mo Beiwu actually bought the industrial design technology of Sailin supercar, and also acquired a number of motor companies. The R&D department also hired many talents with high salaries. The car factory is also under construction, and everything is going in an orderly manner. in progress.

So Mo Beiwu was in a very good mood. While drinking tea, she talked excitedly about the blueprint for future Arctic cars.

In Mo Beiwu's words, it was all about high-end performance and technological sense. When it came to happiness, Mo Beiwu also introduced the advantages and disadvantages of several supercars in her garage.

Only at this time can everyone feel that Mo Beiwu is a top-notch third-generation child.

Zhang Nanyi warned: "When you play racing, you must do it on a professional track, take protection and pay attention to safety. Also, don't take Liu Yifei and Jing Tian to play casually.

After I finish filming during this period, I will find some time to teach you how to drive. "

Mo Beiwu asked in surprise: "Can you still race cars?"

Zhang Nanyi pretended to be mysterious and smiled: "You will know when the time comes. It's not like you don't know my driving ability."

Zhang Nanyi drove openly, but the three women present were very calm. Liu Xiaoli and Yu Feihong were both big sisters. Although Yu Feihong was very shy when actually fighting, he never gave up when it came to joking.

Mo Beiwu's personality is very direct and he never hides anything in this area.

So she nodded in approval and said: "Your ability is indeed invincible, but I'm going to start looking for foreign aid. You have to be careful and pay attention to our bet!"

Zhang Nanyi coughed and immediately changed the subject. He said: "Actually, you and I have different ideas when it comes to car manufacturing. In my opinion, technology should be universally beneficial.

If technology cannot benefit more ordinary people, but remains within the elite group of society, and only a few elites can enjoy technological conveniences, then the meaning of this technology will always be incomplete.

Based on this logic, I suggest that you set up a sub-brand called Northern Motors under the name of Arctic Automobile Factory, specializing in electric scooters, electric three-wheelers and affordable electric vehicles.

The ordinary electric motorcycles on the market today have ugly appearance, not very good performance, and have many problems. If we design an electric motorcycle with a cool appearance and good performance in all aspects, the price will not be expensive.

Then there is definitely a market.

As for electric three-wheelers, we can focus on durability and durability, and on affordable cars, we can focus on cost-effectiveness and urban mobility. "

Seeing Mo Beiwu deep in thought, Zhang Nanyi analyzed: "If you want to directly build a high-end car, you can't do it without three to five years of technology accumulation.

In the past three to five years, the car factory has produced nothing but input. In fact, the risk is very high.

Moreover, without practice and market feedback, the probability of failure is also very high if you only focus on research. The final car built may be too far away from the market and cannot be sold.

But car manufacturers can use some technologies to develop an electric motorcycle while researching high-end cars.

Through the research and development, production, sales and market feedback of electric scooters, while accumulating experience, we can also cultivate talents in the industry chain and marketing.

Explore more advanced marketing models. "

Zhang Nanyi knew the future situation. He continued: "In the future manufacturing industry, marketing can be said to be the primary productive force. It is necessary to have the ability to build a car, but the best thing is to be able to be rushed to buy it after it is built. Pivotal."

Tesla also struggled at the beginning and almost couldn't survive. After Musk took over, the situation began to improve.

The same car sells with different results because Musk is a marketing master.

The same person, as well as Mr. Lei from Xiaomi, is also a good marketing expert.

Mo Beiwu understood what Zhang Nanyi said, and she said, "What you mean is that we must first use low-cost products to cultivate sales channels and marketing talents, and it is best to explore a very mature sales model."

Zhang Nanyi took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Yes, my suggestion is to first design an electric car that has stronger functions and a cooler appearance than most products on the market, but the price is about the same or cheaper. motorcycle.

First, take out the concept pictures for publicity, then produce a batch of cars according to the pre-ordered purchase quantity, deliver them to the market, see the response, and sum up experience.

It doesn't matter even if it fails, the cost is relatively not high.

The key is to explore marketing methods. "

When Mo Beiwu first entered the office, she was excited about talking about Arctic cars, and she began to seriously think about the feasibility of Zhang Nanyi's suggestion.

Zhang Nanyi said nothing and let Mo Beiwu make his choice.

Firstly, Zhang Nanyi does not take the lead in building cars, but only gives suggestions. Secondly, Mo Beiwu has unparalleled luck, so her choice will not be wrong. Zhang Nanyi has been with her for so long, and he is also a bit superstitious about her luck. .

Therefore, Zhang Nanyi will not interfere too much with the final decision.

Mo Beiwu didn't make a decision on the spot, and everyone started talking about other things.

When the time came to 5:40 pm, Zhang Nanyi said goodbye to the three beauties, got into the company's new Porsche Cayenne, and came to his old place, Liu Ji Private Kitchen.

Zhang Nanyi came earlier. When he arrived at the hotel, it was only 6:20, 40 minutes before the dinner started.

No one else has arrived yet, only the restaurant owner Liu Daqing is here.

After seeing Zhang Nanyi, Liu Daqing took him to the largest private room in the hotel to make tea.

As soon as the water was boiled, Liu Daqing said: "Brother Zhang, I have always trusted you, and I am definitely willing to invest in your animated film this time.

Do you think 5000 million is enough? If not, give me another period of time and I will mobilize some funds. "

Kung Fu Panda is still short of 2 million in investment, so we will be talking about this during dinner tonight.

No one in the country is optimistic about this project.

Liu Xiaoli was not optimistic either, but if Zhang Nanyi wanted to produce and invest, she would not hesitate and directly mobilized funds.

Liu Daqing was actually very scared. Kong Lin and many people around him told him that the Kung Fu Panda project would almost certainly suffer losses.

Investing 5 million yuan in an animated film will definitely not be able to make back the money given the current domestic film market.

This means that if Kung Fu Panda wants to make money, it must go to overseas markets to fight. This is too difficult for today's Chinese movies, and there is no successful precedent.

Apart from anything else, in terms of distribution alone, domestic films do not have good distribution channels abroad.Domestic films are generally distributed overseas through a one-time buyout, and there are almost no profit-sharing agents.

Even if Zhang Nanyi manages overseas distribution, Chinese animated films can make money in the world market, which sounds too magical.

So after everyone heard about the Kung Fu Panda project, they all felt that Zhang Nanyi had lost his mind.

Liu Daqing thought about it again and again, and realized that he had also made a lot of money following Zhang Nanyi, so he gritted his teeth, took out half of his cash flow, and invested it.

and promised additional investment.

This is completely following Zhang Nanyi unswervingly, so after Zhang Nanyi drank a cup of tea, he said sincerely: "Thank you Mr. Liu for your support. I can only say that this movie has a probability of losing money and a probability of making a profit." With big money, it’s really hard to say anything about it.”

Zhang Nanyi means what he says sincerely.

The box office of a movie is determined by many factors.

If Wolf Warrior 2 were to be released now, there is a high probability that it would be a blockbuster, or even if it had a relatively good box office, it would not be able to reach that level.

Wolf Warrior 2's box office miracle in later generations can only be said to be just at the right time.

This rule is the same for Kung Fu Panda.

Now Kung Fu Panda is produced by Zhang Nanyi's company, and the distribution company may change from Paramount to [-]th Century Fox, and the release date will also change. Everything is full of variables.

The only thing Zhang Nanyi is sure of is that the Kung Fu Panda theme was very popular in the film market in his previous life and achieved success.

But whether it can succeed again now, I really can’t guarantee.

Because of this, Zhang Nanyi has always insisted on bringing in more investors to diversify risks in film and television investments.

Hearing Zhang Nanyi's words, Liu Daqing smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Zhang, can't you say something nice to encourage me?
This is half of my net worth, all handed over to you. "

Half of the cash flow does not equal half of the net worth. Zhang Nanyi would not take Liu Daqing's words seriously.

He smiled and said: "I have always been honest, and I always say ugly things first.

With an investment of 5 million, my animation production company may eventually earn 2 million, and the production company in the United States will earn 2 million.

At least another [-] million will be invested in the subsequent publicity and distribution work. If the box office is good, the investment in publicity and distribution will continue to increase.

When it is announced, if you do not make additional investment, your share of the profits will be diluted.

I have to explain these things clearly to you. "

Liu Daqing waved his hand and said: "I know that your company's profit of 2 million is basically labor cost.

Such a large-investment animated film can be regarded as cultivating related industries and talents for the country.

As for the publicity fee, I have to follow the investment, so don’t worry, Brother Zhang. "

Before Zhang Nanyi could speak, Han Sanpin knocked on the door and walked in.

He heard Liu Daqing's words and sighed: "I envy you, Mr. Zhang. You have a die-hard investor like Mr. Liu who supports you unconditionally."

Han Sanpin also said straight to the point: "I personally admire your spirit and sentiments, Mr. Zhang, and I am willing to spend money to cultivate talents for our country's animation industry, but I have no say in China Film.

With my strong recommendation, Huaying is willing to invest 2000 million, which is my maximum authority. "

Han Sanpin is now only the second-in-command of Huaying, and there are still people in charge of it. Even when everyone is not optimistic, he can invest 2000 million in the name of Huaying, and he has done some work.

Zhang Nan smiled and raised his teacup, replacing wine with tea: "Thank you, Mr. Han, for your support."

The next people to come in were Mr. Wu from Ciwen Film and Television and Yang Shoucheng from Yinhuang. They were not optimistic about the project either, but Zhang Nanyi spoke up and each invested 1500 million yuan.

This is Zhang Nanyi's face now.

As a result, Kung Fu Panda is still short of an investment gap of [-] million.

Soon, Gao Qun from Hearst Capital came to the private room. Under Amanda's instruction, he won the last [-] million investment share.

Seeing this situation, Han Sanpin sighed: "Mr. Zhang, you have the energy to invest in a large project worth 5 million yuan. Even when everyone is not optimistic about it, you still managed to attract investment so easily."

Liu Daqing also smiled and said: "This is too fast, haha, I didn't even eat or drink, the investment was done.

I think we should just leave without eating this meal! "

Mr. Wu from Ciwen Film and Television knew Zhang Nanyi the least. Hearing this, he said, "That's alright. I must let Mr. Zhang drink a few more drinks tonight!"

As soon as this statement came out, Liu Daqing, Han Sanpin and others changed their expressions.

Zhang Nanyi had no choice but to follow the good example, and drank a few more drinks with Mr. Wu, and finally drank him to death. Everyone else knew Zhang Nanyi's huge capacity and did not provoke him, so they were still sober.

When the banquet was about to end, Han Sanpin said: "Mr. Zhang, I will go to Feizhou in two days. The Jingtao Rescue Plan will start filming on June 6th.

The main actors must be assembled before June 6.

Wang Bao and the others have been training in the army for more than [-] days. When do you plan to go to the army for special training? "

Zhang Nanyi thought for a while and said, "I will arrive at the army on the 25th. A week of special training is enough."

The other leading actors all had special training for at least a month, while Zhang Nanyi only had one week.

Faced with Zhang Nanyi's privilege, Han Sanpin didn't say anything. After all, Zhang Nanyi's time and status cannot be compared with those of young actors.

If you ask some Hong Kong actors, such as Xie Tingfeng, to go to the army for special training, they will definitely tell you that they are not available.

It would be great if Zhang Nanyi can go to training.

However, Zhang Nanyi is not trying to be a big name. He really feels that with his learning ability and physical fitness, one week of training is enough.

After all, I'm just acting in a movie, not really a special soldier.
