649. Big Investment and Big Production
Hao Jun and Li Yifan were very enthusiastic about chatting. One was a tycoon in the Chinese entertainment industry today, and the other was a former with more than ten years of experience than modern people, so these two people have found common topics now.
"In fact, we might as well see this negotiation with the Koreans as a test of each other. If the Koreans are willing to cooperate, that is of course the best. But the cost of copyright transfer must not be reduced. After all, the potential of our program is obvious to all. If they want to do it, they have to give us at least 30 to 50 million. Brother Hao must control the specific amount."
Hao Jun nodded after hearing this. The Koreans are rich and powerful nowadays, especially in their entertainment industry, who have made a lot of money in the past two years and are not bad for this amount of money. It is unlikely that they come here to take advantage of it in vain.
"If we can get on the Korean route this time, then the next work will be easier."
Li Yifan lit a cigarette for himself, took a sip, and then looked at Hao Jun and said.
"Oh? Yifan, do you have any better ideas?"
Hao Jun admired Li Yifan's boldness and his wild idea very much. It was his idea at the beginning, so he made himself earn more than 100 million yuan. Although it was divided by three people, it would cost tens of millions, not to mention that this cash flow would flow in continuously?
So he attached great importance to any idea that Li Yifan came up with.
"Haha, Brother Hao, isn't this simple? We were originally from filmmaking. However, our previous movies had certain limitations. Although they were popular, they could only be popular in our mainland. However, if we were given abroad, let alone Europe and the United States, we couldn't play even if we got them in Asia. Even Baodao and Xiangjiang, which are the same as us, don't like our movies very much. So if we want to make money, we might as well learn from other people's Hollywood and play with big productions."
Li Yifan started to fool him again. In fact, even if he didn't fool him, a few years later there would be a wave of big production trends in the Chinese entertainment industry. On the one hand, it was stimulated by the Hollywood blockbuster trend, and on the other hand, it was also influenced by the film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" by Ang Lee, director of Treasure Island.
In the years after Director Ang Lee won the award, the domestic film circle was filled with martial arts and a trend of great investment, but there were basically few who actually made good films.
Although some movies really make a lot of money, more have also received a lot of infamousness, the flaws of the movie scripts, the lack of actors' acting skills, directors play aloofness in front of movie audiences in order to show their talents, etc., have caused the so-called domestic blockbusters to suffer a lot of infamousness in China.
It was not until this trend passed, and until the crazy stone that someone invested three million yuan and made tens of millions of dollars were released, that a number of domestic hot-headed film companies and investors gradually calmed down.
But those are not what Li Yifan wants to consider now. What he wants to consider is how to use this Korean wave to get a share of our Chinese entertainment circle.
"What? Yifan, what are your good ideas? Hurry up and talk to you Brother Hao."
When Hao Jun was in the United States, he had seen the power of American blockbusters. People really dared to spend money on it. The investment of a movie ranged from millions to tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of dollars, but the returns they received were also fruitful, often doubled or several times, or even more than ten times the rate of return. Who wouldn't want to do such an investment?
When he returned to China to make movies, he had thought about tall and large-scale blockbusters. Unfortunately, the domestic film culture and investment environment are very different from those in the United States, so he has never created what he wants to do.
Now Li Yifan has proposed the concept of a blockbuster film that makes big investments. This idea coincides with him. How can he not be moved?
In the past, he had no way to seek, but now suddenly Li Yifan can find a way out for him. How could he be unhappy?
"Hehe, Brother Hao seems to have made a lot of money on Chinese idols this time, right? And next year, you may make a lot of money. In addition to sharing the money, the company's funds will be much richer. In this way, we might as well learn from the American model and create international large-scale blockbusters. There are many good actors in Xiangjiang, and they have a certain influence in Asia, such as Jackie Chan, Brother Yunfa, etc. I heard that Brother Hao, you have a friendship with them?"
When Li Yifan said that Chinese idols were making money, Hao Jun nodded. Now that Li Yifan talked about his relationship with those Hong Kong movie stars, he couldn't help but feel a little proud.
Indeed, he knew these movie stars in Hong Kong, and he had a very good relationship with several of them.
He had thought about finding these movie stars to work with, but the price was too high and he couldn't afford it at that time, so there was no further information, but he had made friends early on.
Now that Li Yifan said this, he felt that he had vaguely understood what he meant, but he was still missing that a layer of window paper had not been penetrated.
"Brother Hao, to be honest, although the movie stars in Hong Kong are very appealing in Asia, most of them are in the past. Now, the popular movie stars in Asia are some Korean movie stars, such as Dongjian and those who like the good guys. With the popularity accumulated in the past few years, they have a high degree of recognition in Asia, especially in South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and our mainland. They have a certain influence, so why can't we invite all these people together to create a big production? The production places are placed in China, which can save costs. However, with these people joining, this movie can be fully screened in China, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, and Southeast Asia. Do you think such a big production is worth it?"
Li Yifan asked Hao Jun with a smile, and after hearing this, Hao Jun slapped his thigh. Why didn't he expect such a simple thing?
In fact, what Li Yifan said was just a path that Hao Jun's brothers entertainment often took in later generations. In the original history, a few years later, Brothers Entertainment had invited several Korean celebrities and filmed several movies with several stars and celebrities from Hong Kong.
And it is indeed a lot of money to be released throughout Asia. In fact, as long as so many celebrities get together, no matter what the movie you make, for those star-chasing people, it is enough to see so many stars they like together in a movie.
This is the main reason why many people curse after the so-called domestic blockbusters in later generations, but many people still went to watch the movies on site.
It is because those blockbusters gathered too many celebrity faces, so this has created the scene of domestic blockbusters in later generations being scolded on one side, but on the other hand, it is indeed a big profit.
So his current proposal is based on the old routines of his previous life. He does not have much insight into the entertainment industry, especially in the film industry. However, when the Chinese film market is not yet mature, doing so is not a bad plan. After all, nowadays, as long as the domestic team of big stars can raise a lineup of big stars, he will not have to worry about not being able to make money.
Hao Jun was obviously very interested in Li Yifan's proposal. Compared with Li Yifan, Hao Jun is a complete businessman. Although he has his own opinions on movies, he is more concerned about making money. Li Yifan's proposal is obviously a good idea.
Moreover, with so many big-name star lineups, this is definitely a big production by then. Although it has invested a lot, it has high investment and high output.
There are not many producers in Asia that can compete with Hollywood, which is a very good attempt for Hao Jun, who has ambitions.
After chatting with Hao Jun about entertainment for a while, Hao Jun left first with the excuse of something, leaving only Wang Teng and Li Yifan.
When Li Yifan and Hao Jun were talking to each other, Wang Teng didn't say much, but Li Yifan also realized that he seemed to have something to worry about.
However, in front of Hao Jun, Wang Teng was not willing to say that, and Hao Jun knew this, so he found an excuse to leave first, leaving room for Wang Teng and Li Yifan.
"What's wrong, Brother Wang, do you seem to have any thoughts?"
Li Yifan asked Wang Teng with a smile that Wang Teng is now a stolen figure in the domestic e-commerce industry. With the capital injection of Li Yifan, his 40 thieves websites have followed the rapid development of China's economy and are in full swing. Another b2c website, the website of B2C, is now famous, and is fighting against eBay, which has an American background, in personal e-commerce, and is fighting very fiercely.
His feat of fighting alone with a Chinese company with a simple background and fighting against American tycoons has been appreciated by many people, but there are also many people who are waiting to see his jokes. After all, Americans are not ordinary wealthy, so not everyone is optimistic about Wang Teng's fight with the American background eBay.
Wang Teng’s worries today are probably inseparable from this matter.
