Rebirth Turn - Chapter 96

Before “Can’t Help” was released, Lu Yan’s contract with Xing Xing had expired. The media with a keen sense of smell have noticed the change in the relationship between Lu Yan and Xingkong, but because Qin Feng has always been Lu Yan’s manager, and people in the circle have tacitly agreed that Qin Feng can’t leave Xingkong, so Although there are doubts, no one will pick this head.

For a long time, the contracts between artists and brokerage companies are semi-open secrets, and even some artists will deliberately reveal some favorable content of the contract after signing with a big company to show their status. However, the contract between Lu Yan and Xing Xing was handled by too few people, and once the terms of the contract were made public, there would inevitably be an uproar and discussion. Neither Lu Yan nor Su Mo wanted to make it public. People will not reveal. So everyone only knows that Lu Yan and Xing Xing signed a contract. As for how long it has been signed, how to sign it, and what conditions or discounts there are, no one knows.

The piercing of the matter stemmed from an artist Qin Feng once brought, named Qi Rui. Qi Rui and Qin Feng dated earlier than Lu Yan. When Qin Feng became his manager, he was already well-known. After that, Qin Feng helped him win many opportunities. rise. If it weren’t for the sudden emergence of Lu Yan, he would almost be able to compete with Shan Chuyu for the status of the first brother of Xingkong.

Qin Feng’s departure from the starry sky had a great impact on Qi Rui. Although Qin Feng had arranged a lot for him before leaving, he had also introduced a good manager to him, but it was not as good as Qin Feng himself. Qi Rui was somewhat dissatisfied, so when the media asked him if he had changed his manager, he mentioned the fact that Qin Feng had left the starry sky, intentionally or unintentionally.

There was an uproar in the media, and thinking of the changes in the relationship between Lu Yan and the starry sky that they felt during this time, an idea quickly emerged. At this time, “Can’t Help” is about to go offline, the final promotion time. In an event interview, a reporter asked whether Lu Yan had terminated the contract with Xingkong, and whether Qin Feng had also left Xingkong. This is not a bad thing, and there is nothing to hide. According to the original plan, Qin Feng arranged for Lu Yan to hold a small media meeting to explain clearly the situation of terminating the contract with Xingkong and opening a personal studio. .

At present, Lu Yan’s personal studio is still under the name of Xingxing, but it is completely independent from personnel to affairs. The media are also very clear about what such a name means, but it is for mutual benefit, and the relationship on another level affects each other. It does not mean that there is any affiliation between them. Lu Yan is really independent.

It is not surprising that Lu Yan left the starry sky. It is not uncommon for an artist to open his own studio after becoming famous. Lu Yan is now famous, although it may be a little early in terms of influence, but it is not Can’t understand. But Qin Feng actually left the starry sky with Lu Yan, which made many people fall through their glasses.

The relationship between Qin Feng and Xingkong, it is not too much to say that loyal ministers are loyal to the court. Over the years, no matter how many film and television brokerage companies have thrown an olive branch to Qin Feng, whether it is enticing or selling favors, Qin Feng has never Not shaken. But such an artist who has only debuted for more than three years has broken the unbreakable relationship between Qin Feng and Xing Xing, which is considered to be unbreakable. In addition to being puzzling, one can’t help but think about what kind of charm Lu Yan has or what he has done. The conditions made Qin Feng willing to go with him.

Soon, someone found out that Qin Feng owns 5% of Lu Yan’s studio. It is not surprising that many studios use shares as bait in order to retain capable agents or other key staff, which is a very effective means. But Qin Feng was obviously not someone who would be tempted by such a mere 5% of the shares.

So this matter became a mystery in the circle. It wasn’t until a long time later that the relationship between Lu Yan and Su Mo was completely exposed, and everyone knew that Su Mo had a part of the studio’s equity, and people suddenly realized. Although Su Mo has faded out of the entertainment industry a long time ago, and now there are not many new forces in the circle who know about him, but there are still some veteran reporters and artists who know the current president of the Su Group who caused a storm in the entertainment industry. With such a powerful person as the second boss, it is not difficult to understand that Qin Feng would leave Xingkong to join Lu Yan’s studio.

But these are later stories.

At present, for Lu Yan, in addition to the various work as always, how to develop the studio is also one of the most important issues for him to consider. Even Qin Feng couldn’t give him more advice on this point.

If you want to increase your popularity and influence, you need to have your own brand. At present, the best way is to invest in some excellent film and television dramas in the name of the studio. Just like actors and directors use their works to speak, in the entertainment industry, good box office and good ratings are the guarantee of everything.

Lu Yan naturally remembered the script he bought the copyright from Yan Ke more than a year ago. He has always been looking for an opportunity to put this wonderful story on the big screen, and now is a good opportunity.

But here comes the problem, he needs money and people.

During this time, Lu Yan thought about this issue the most, and even started to make plans to list all the available and unavailable factors. He spends his time outside of normal work doing this.

Su Mo quickly discovered his abnormality, and guessed that it was probably because of the studio, so he found an opportunity and asked him bluntly, “You seem to have some concerns during this time, is it about the studio? ?”

Lu Yan was just stunned for a moment, then nodded, “Well, I’m thinking about how to build the studio’s brand faster and better.”

“Do you have any ideas?” Su Mo asked.

Lu Yan explained his thoughts.

After listening to Su Mo, he was silent for a while, then raised his head and said, “It’s a very good idea. But if you follow your assumptions, making this script into a movie is definitely not an easy task. First of all, it must be invested in funds. It will far exceed those movies currently released in the country.”

Lu Yan nodded, “Yes. So I’m also wondering if I’ll be too impatient, should I invest in some low-cost movies first, and then do this when I’m more capable.”

Su Mo smiled, shook his head and said, “Benefits always coexist with risks. And if you want to make the studio a hit, what is more direct than shooting a movie that is more advanced than the current domestic market. Follow you. The idea is that the story is a good story, and you want to use 3D technology. At present in the world, 3D technology has matured, and there are some 3D movies, but there is not a movie with enough weight to show it. So if this A well-made film not only has a great impact domestically, but may even have a great impact internationally. So, have you considered seeking American capital?”

“Of course, I have thought about it.” Lu Yan replied, “As of now, the domestic 3D technology is not mature enough. It will be easier to hire the best 3D team, and it will be easier to have US-funded participation. The expected investment in the film is relatively large, and seeking U.S. capital can ease the financial pressure, and secondly, you can get the right to release in the United States first, and you can get the funds back faster at that time.”

Su Mo asked again, “So, have you ever thought about what kind of investment ratio you need?”

“I hope we can keep at least one-third of the investment amount. However,” Lu Yan smiled bitterly, “Even if it is only one-third, it is not a small amount.”

Su Mo smiled slightly, “You don’t need to worry about the money issue. I have one-third of the investment, and we will invest in the name of the studio. One-third is a good ratio. First of all, the initial investment will not be too much. Big, if the movie sells well in the future, our profit will not be too small. If the profit is not good, the loss will be limited. In addition, I will contact several interested American film investment companies for you. You can bring The script and the plan, how to convince them and how to allocate the investment ratio, it depends on your own ability.”

Lu Yan looked at Su Mo and didn’t speak for a while. After they were together, they seldom interfered with each other’s work. Lu Yan couldn’t get involved, and Su Mo maintained respect. But since the establishment of the studio, their work has also begun to intersect. Lu Yan has always been aware of Su Mo’s ability and strength, but he never thought of relying on him to take shortcuts. He hopes to rely on his own ability to reach the peak he wants and stand in a position that can match him. How much is this? It’s about a man’s self-confidence and self-esteem.

But Su Mo’s helping hand is so natural. Whether it’s the original contract with Xingkong, the establishment of a studio, or the current investment in films, he has been analyzing the pros and cons as an investor. Let Buddha, he is not a lover at the moment, but just an investor. But Lu Yan is very clear that Su Mo’s investment in him is not only because of his belief in his value, but more importantly because of his love for him, otherwise, for the president of the Su Group, the world’s most profitable There are so many industries, and he is not the only one missing.

Su Mo’s words and deeds gave him no reason to refuse, nor did he want to refuse this love. At this time, the so-called self-esteem is boring and hypocritical. The most important thing is that Lu Yan believes that he is worthy of the investment and that he has this value, no matter what the purpose is.

Seeing that Lu Yan didn’t speak for a long time, Su Mo couldn’t help asking, “Is there any problem?”

Lu Yan smiled, “Even if it’s one-third of the investment, it’s not small, doesn’t Su Dong need to explain to the board of directors?”

Su Mo said with a smile, “This is my private asset, of course I don’t need to explain it to anyone except you.”

Lu Yan was startled. Of course he knew that the Su family was very rich, and he believed that Su Mo himself had some wealth, but he did not expect him to be so rich. This is not a question of millions, tens of millions, but It’s hundreds of millions.

Seeing Lu Yan’s surprised expression, Su Mo smiled again, “Since many years ago, I have made some private investments. I’m lucky, and I have basically not lost any money. Over the years, I also have some savings. So you can do whatever you want, not to mention one movie, there is no problem in making a few more. It doesn’t matter if you lose all of them, and you can make more money if you keep Qingshan without worrying about no firewood.”

Lu Yan looked at him with heavy eyes and smiled slowly, “I will not let you lose money. I will let the world know that your vision is never wrong, and your investment is worth it.”

Su Mo smiled lightly and corrected, “It’s not me, it’s us!”

Lu Yan nodded and said, “You’re right, it’s us!”
