Mission Flow - Vol 2 Chapter 177

Popular recommendation:

Cao Su took a sip of tea and flipped through the project plan. The project “Master”, directed by Xu Haofeng, was adapted from his own novel “Master” of the same name, which won the Gold Award for Best Novella at the People’s Literature Award.

It can be said that this project has a very good story foundation.

And Xu Haofeng is the screenwriter of “The Grandmaster” and the original author of “The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain”. The “Grandmaster” filmed by the King of Sunglasses has won numerous awards! Cao Su met Qiao Mei (Song Hye Kyo), a well-informed woman who met in Hollywood a few days ago, and participated in this movie.

Xu Haofeng will serve as director, screenwriter, and martial arts instructor.

“System, scan.”

Cao Su paid 10 million to the system from his existing funds, and used the [Project Detector] to scan the movie project. He now has all the funds at his disposal in U.S. stocks.

Before he left the United States, the account was worth about $62 million. After a week of remote, low-frequency operations, it has grown to $69 million.

He had already greeted his assistant Sun Xiuling and withdrawn 10 million US dollars. Just prepared for him to return the money to Song Mengxi and this trip to the capital.

Project Detector quickly gave results, concluding that the yield was negative.

What the hell!

“Old Jia, this story doesn’t work. Don’t talk about it any more!” Cao Su threw the book “Master” on the coffee table and continued to read the “Monster Hunt” project.

Jia Zihao picked up the script and said, “Mr. Cao, this book is very good! There are many competitors. If Xu Haofeng had to shoot by himself, it is estimated that many big directors would be interested. Although martial arts films are on the decline, there is “The Grandmaster” this year, which is a box office. 290 million.

At present, IPs in the industry such as “Ghost Blowing the Lamp”, “Little Times”, “囧” character series, and blocking films are all controlled by large companies. We have to find a way, we can consider starting from the type of martial arts. I heard in the industry that Lu Yang, one of the directors supported by China Film, made a martial arts film, Embroidered Spring Knife. ”

Cao Su waved his hand, “Old Jia, you’re right. But listen to me!” When he first arrived in Hollywood, he heard 20th Century Fox producer Jeremy Keppel tell him that it’s better now The six major film giants in Hollywood focus on film theme development, film budget financing, film distribution and marketing, and film work procurement.

The so-called film theme is a genre film! For example: comedy, youth music and dance, science fiction, and so on.

Jia Zihao’s thinking is correct. For a movie to be successful, the first thing to do is to research what genres are currently on the market. And Chinese people like to watch martial arts!

But he is hooking!

Jia Zihao was so upset that he put the project information in his briefcase. Although he is worth hundreds of millions, he was repaired by Cao Su before, and he really couldn’t get tough in front of Cao Su.

“Probe.”

[Project: Monster Hunt. 】

[Estimated rate of return: 230%. 】

[Project risk: 33%. 】

[Return on investment cycle: more than one year. 】

[The best execution plan of the project:  …. 】

Yo, this project can. Cao Su then flipped through the details. This is another Hong Kong-funded project. Director Xu Chengyi, a director who has been honed in Hollywood. The producer is Jiang Zhiqiang. This is a big old man of Hong Kong film, and he has a theater chain in his hand.

Jia Zihao has a close relationship with Hong Kong capital and can be regarded as capital in the outer circle. In fact, in recent years, the domestic film industry has been flooded and dominated by Hong Kong capital. At least half of the top ten films at the box office each year are their projects.

“Monster Hunt is a good project, is there a character suitable for Andy?”

“Yes, this villain boss can be played by Andy.” Jia Zihao introduced: “Director Xu has been working in the field of animation films. He has a rich experience. However, he has not directed a full-length animation yet.

Jiang Sheng wanted to hold him. Saved this book of catching monsters. Because it is a fantasy film, it needs a lot of special effects, so the production cost will be relatively high. Jiang Shengding’s plan is 300 million production costs. ”

Cao Su nodded, “Old Jia, we invested 50 million in and wanted a main supporting role. This is not too much, right? How can we guarantee that we will not be tricked? This is different from the previous investment in “Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven”. 5 million for the project. After all, the amount of that project is smaller.”

He walked around Hollywood, and the matter of preventing investments from being pitted has been deeply rooted. These capitalists in the film industry are not good people.

Jia Zihao hesitated a little and said, “Mr. Cao, we are actually in a weak position. Jiang Sheng is not short of funds to invest in movies. He just wants to hedge investment risks. Therefore, we have the opportunity to invest.

If I talk to them about movie splits, I’m afraid I’ll offend them. They have an inward sharing contract and I can get that. Basically, as long as the box office is more than 3 times, it can earn about 20%. ”

Cao Su shook his head, “Business is business. You can’t rely on tacit understanding, but you have to implement it in black and white. You can talk to them again. I will negotiate a sharing agreement based on the box office of the movie.

Jia Zihao said with a heavy heart, “Okay!” He didn’t ask, what if we couldn’t agree?

Cao Su looked at Yun Wenhao again, “Young Master Yun, where are you?”

Yun Wenhao was a little embarrassed, he really didn’t expect Jia Zihao to do things so meticulously, with a thick stack of project plans. He came with only the script and a few points of the contract. He took it out and handed it to Cao Su, feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles, and said, “Mr. Cao, this is the project I’m looking for.

The director is Dapeng, a disciple of Uncle Zhao. He previously made the online drama “Diaosi Men”, which was released on Sohu Video. The success of this series has led many people to look for him to make movies. However, he found that the scripts of those film companies did not meet his requirements, and let Xu Zheng and Huang Bo, the most popular comedians in China, perform better than him. So he wrote his own script. Take the book and cast it everywhere in the movie circle.

I like his script better. The 20 million investment may not be able to control the entire project, and it needs to cooperate with other film companies. ”

Cao Su nodded slightly and used the project detector to scan.

[Project: Pancake Man. 】

[Estimated rate of return: 760%. 】

[Project risk: 33%. 】

[Return on investment cycle: more than one year. 】

[The best execution plan of the project:  …. 】

Cao Su was overjoyed to see that it was a 7 times return. That’s a much higher rate of return than Monster Hunt. “This project is ok! Young Master Yun, I plan to take charge of this project. How much funding do you expect?”

Yun Wenhao pondered slightly: “It’s a comedy type. I estimate that around 40 million can be finished!”

Cao Su made a final decision: “That’s fine. Lao Jia, I invested 30 million in the project of Monster Hunting to help Andy get an important supporting role. The extra 20 million will go to Yun Shao, the Pancake Man project. Young Master Yun, help me make an appointment with the director Dapeng, and I will meet and chat with him. Also, do you vote for this film?”

Yun Wenhao helps Cao Su with all his work. He is enjoying the fun of investing tens of millions of dollars to find projects, which can be regarded as exercise and work. Cao Su originally wanted to repay his favor for helping to adjust the private jet. Cao Su was going to take him to play.

Don’t look at Yun Wenhao’s relationship with Guangguang, but at the age of 24, how many resources of his parents can he use?

And Yun Wenhao, of course, also wants to eat meat. If there is no interest, who will play with you?

Jia Zihao was a little envious. He didn’t find a good project for the master control, and he had no chance to follow the investment!

Yun Wenhao didn’t expect Cao Su to talk about business so quickly, so he quickly moved on to issues of investment and interests. He thought about it seriously and said, “Mr. Cao, I will invest 2 million and get 5% of the income.”

“Okay. 5% of the film’s revenue. Then, you also play the role of producer.” Cao Su stretched out his hand, “Happy cooperation!”

“Happy cooperation!” Yun Wenhao and Cao Su shook hands.

After the business was over, the atmosphere in the office was relaxed.

Yun Wenhao drank tea and said, “Assistant Leng, is your company the Yuefan Group of the Magic Capital?”

Leng Yutong was wearing a white down jacket and black slim trousers. She was 1.77 meters tall and nodded coldly, “Yes.”

“What do I say! I looked at you familiar just now. My father’s name is Yun Benshu. He is very familiar with Leng Pingyuan, the president of your Yuefan Group in charge of entertainment business.”

Leng Yutong still had the same cold and glamorous appearance, and said, “That’s my cousin!”

Cao Su looked at Leng Yutong in surprise. He really didn’t know that his assistant was so talented. Seeing that she didn’t want to talk to Yun Wenhao and help her clear the siege, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com interrupted Yun Wenhao. He said, “Oh, Lao Jia, I still have something I need you to do for me.

I made a promise to give out three quotas for supporting actresses in movies and ten quotas for supporting actresses in TV dramas. You can help me find related projects. Quality is not required, but push to script workshop or shoot as soon as possible. ”

Jia Zihao felt more comfortable. He had just been cut by Cao Su from his budget of 20 million. After thinking about it, he said, “Mr. Cao, is Qianyuan Culture going to be involved in TV dramas?”

“You can try. I’m more optimistic about online dramas.”

Jia Zihao pondered for a while, “Mr. Cao, wait for my news, there are a lot of film and television dramas in the market. But many of them cannot be sold. Therefore, if we want to arrange a few female characters, as long as we are willing to invest in the project, the problem is not a problem. Big.”

Yun Wenhao and Jia Zihao left from the Dragon Ball Live Beijing branch. Cao Su stretches his back, he has achieved good results in film and television!

“Yutong, you go to book a hotel now. I have a few more people to meet.”

“Okay, President Cao.” Leng Yutong left with long legs.

Cao Su continued to meet with Li Hangyi’s confidant and subordinates who came to poach Liujiaofang and the general manager of Dragon Ball Live. They have been here for several days. She has secretly started contact with the female anchors of the six-room show.

“How about digging people?”

The subordinate said respectfully: “Mr. Cao, they are still a little afraid that Liujianfang will sue them, and the liquidated damages will not be able to accompany them. Our film and television projects are very attractive to them, but they don’t trust them very much.”

Cao Su: “Then we need to make some noise to convince them that I am indeed a player in the film and television industry, right?”

“Yes.”

Cao Su took a cup of tea and took a sip, “I see.”
