Chapter 511 If You Don’t Succeed, You Will Succeed!
Yang Huan was sitting in the conference room, his mind kept circling the speeches of the filmmakers just now. 【First release】
From Huang Jianxin to Xu Ke to Chen Guofu, Wang Jing, Chen Kexin, Xu Zheng, Xingye and others also expressed their opinions one after another, expressing their personal feelings about Chinese films.
Obviously, Yang Huan felt a wave of resentment from them.
Perhaps, as filmmakers, they love movies from the bottom of their hearts, but the cruel and realistic environment forces them to compromise between ideals and reality.
Even Huayi Pictures, which claims to be the most professionally managed in China, is still hard to be satisfied with.
However, ordinary movie fans don't care about this. Once they encounter a bad movie, they don't care about it. They just scold the director and the leading actor. They don't know that they are all unlucky blamers !
No wonder they were angry!
Thinking of this, Yang Huan suddenly laughed.
It is a good thing to have resentment, it proves that they still have anger in their hearts!
If they have no complaints, it would be disappointing, because they have fully integrated into this market!
Young Master Huan's laughter seemed very abrupt in this silent meeting room.
I saw him standing up straight away, nodding his head unceasingly, and said three or four good words again and again.
"You all spoke very well, very well!"
Master Huan praised loudly, and then asked back.
"Then I want to ask you a question, if money is no longer an issue, do you have the confidence and courage to accompany me to fight this tiger in Hollywood?"
Everyone present was stunned!
what does this mean?
Does Master Huan mean that he wants to invest in their movies according to Hollywood standards?
If so, it would be too crazy, right?
"Master Huan, you know this is unrealistic!"
The others were fine. On the contrary, Zhang Qiang, the CEO who had only been in office for a year, had some opinions.
"Why?" Yang Huan asked again.
There is specialization in the art industry, which is the philosophy he has always believed in.
And he has always believed that as long as money can solve the problem, it is not a problem at all!
Zhang Qiang thought about it, sorted out his thoughts, and considered his words.
"Master Huan, the investment of over 100 million U.S. dollars in Hollywood commercial films, converted into RMB, is more than 600 million. Well, even considering the gap between domestic labor costs and Hollywood, it is 400 million. This is the cost!"
"According to the investment of 400 million yuan, the box office must be at least 1 billion yuan to protect the capital, but so far, among the domestic films with a box office box office of over 1 billion yuan, there is only one big dark horse, "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love!"
Zhang Qiang's analysis can be described as reasonable.
Fatty Wang couldn't stop nodding when he heard it, "In the end, the domestic film market is still small. The commercial films made in the United States earn money from all over the world, plus DVD and TV station copyrights, and other peripherals. It’s not the main source of income for them.”
"But for our Chinese-language movies, the box office is almost the only profit point, but it's hard to talk about the movie box office. No matter where it is, even in Hollywood, a lot of good movies will become box office cannon fodder every year, so in our Domestically, the greater the investment, the higher the risk, and rational people choose to stay away from it!"
Wang Jing's words made many people present helplessly smile from the bottom of their hearts.
Although movie fans may not like to hear this word if it gets out, it is a big truth.
Chinese-language movies really can't afford such a big-produced movie!
Take a look at this year's Jinling Thirteen Hairpins. Although the production cost of 600 million is an exaggeration, it must be at least 400 million, right?
As a result, it has passed 600 million by bumps and bumps, and there are almost no overseas markets. It is almost certain that this time it is a big loss!
Unexpectedly, before everyone finished laughing, Master Huan laughed louder than them.
"Sensible?" Young Master Huan shook his head disdainfully, "Personally, I think that's cowardice!"
cowardly?
Everyone present was stunned for a moment, and some even blushed involuntarily.
It seems that Master Huan's cowardice is talking about him!
"If each of us does not have the courage to take this step, and each of us is careful to keep our part, afraid of taking risks, and dare not take it, then tell me, what future does Chinese-language movies have?"
Faced with Master Huan's questioning, everyone present fell silent.
"This reminds me of someone, James Cameron!"
Yang Huan smiled slightly, "From Terminator to Titanic to Avatar, he has broken through the limits of Hollywood time and time again, from investment budget to technology application, he has shocked people time and time again, is it possible that he is making these movies At that time, there was no risk at all?"
"I don't think so. There are definitely risks, big or small, but what I want to say is that his determination and courage are worthy of our study and admiration!"
"I think that as domestic filmmakers, we should be more generous and not obsessed with the slightest gains and losses. Making movies is like making a revolution. If you embark on this road, don't think about turning back. , and you will become benevolent!"
"Our film market is getting bigger and bigger, and even the entire Asian region is our potential box office market. If we fail once, we will shoot the second time. If we fail twice, we will shoot the third time. I believe that as long as we If we have the determination and belief to keep improving and make good movies, then we will succeed in the end, and our movies will go abroad and go to the world!"
When he said this, Yang Huan had already stood up, looked at everyone in front of him with firm eyes, and said a promise sonorously and forcefully.
"I, Yang Huan, said it here today, as long as you guys are willing to shoot, then I dare to vote!"
The entire conference room suddenly became silent!
All filmmakers were stunned!
They were all completely shocked by what Master Huan said!
This is more than just rich and powerful, right?
It's hard to describe Master Huan's actions as an investor!
He made it clear that Miracle Pictures only wants to make every film well, and only welcomes all like-minded friends!
As for whether the movie loses money, Master Huan doesn't care at all!
He can afford to lose those hundreds of millions a year!
…………
…………
Yang Huan's courage and determination, as well as his promise, successfully convinced everyone present.
They are all senior elites in the Chinese film circle, and immediately, with the encouragement of Young Master Huan, they began to actively express their opinions.
From the reform of the professional management model of Miracle Pictures, to various matters large and small on the crew, some people even recommended like-minded, or underappreciated professionals that they admired very much on weekdays.
I have to say that although the domestic film and television industry is very chaotic and disorderly, filled with all kinds of people, even some scum with low moral character, there are also a group of people who really love movies, are full of enthusiasm, hope Talented people who can contribute to Chinese films.
Therefore, Yang Huan also decided to gather this group of people together to form a force!
The discussion atmosphere of the whole meeting was very lively, everyone expressed their opinions and expressed their own ideas and opinions, and even in the end, infected and influenced by the atmosphere, everyone began to give advice to each other.
For example, Huang Jianxin proposed that there should be a certain proportion of investment in Miracle Pictures in the future.
That is to say, how many major productions, how many medium-sized productions, and how many low-cost productions should be invested in each year.
Among them, medium production is the most critical!
Because medium production is the field that most cultivates professionals!
There is also Chen Guofu, who proposed that a Hollywood model should be adopted to form a film project centered on the producer.
And he believes that Xu Ke, Wang Jing, Chen Kexin and others are all potential producers.
It was from Chen Guofu that Yang Huan knew that Xu Ke was the producer of several of the most peak films.
For example, Wu Yusen is the director of "The True Colors" and Bloody Heroes, Cheng Xiaodong is the director of Swordsman and A Chinese Ghost Story, and Li Huimin is the director of Dragon Inn.
And Wang Jing's most successful period was precisely when he was a producer.
In fact, the current domestic film market is also centered on the producer, but the producer is often served concurrently by the director.
But considering that the creative energy of Xu Ke and Wang Jing is not as good as before, but their control of the rules of commercial films and the overall quality of the film is still quite good.
Therefore, it is undoubtedly a very good solution for them to be the producers, and then let someone with strong creative energy be the director.
As for the position of supervisor, which is unique to the Chinese film industry, to put it bluntly, it is a producer without financial power.
Perhaps because the atmosphere of the on-site discussion was very good, Xu Ke accepted Chen Guofu's suggestion humbly, and even sent an invitation in reverse, hoping to be the producer of Ghost Blowing Lantern with Chen Guofu after the filming of Tiger Mountain by Strategy, and jointly plan this project.
Chen Kexin said that he has not yet reached that age, and still has a strong creative desire, so he plans to be in charge of the director of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and Huang Jianxin will be his producer.
The latter is also the producer of Tackling Tiger Mountain!
And Master Xing said that if the box office of Westward Journey to Fumo sells well, he invited Xu Kelai to be the producer of Westward Journey to Fumo 2, and he himself will be the producer and jointly responsible for this project.
Wang Jing was also said to be overwhelmed, and directly stated that he was the producer of the new film Casino City, and then invited his friend Liu Weiqiang, one of the Iron Triangle of Infernal Affairs, to be the producer and support the newcomer to be the director.
Yang Huan saw this group of people scrambling over there, messing up all the projects, and suddenly smiled wryly.
But he could feel that everyone present was re-emerging the passion and spark of creation in this "messy" state of discussion, which is undoubtedly a very good phenomenon.
Movies are originally a kind of inspirational creation, which needs their passion and sparks, and so many senior filmmakers come together to discuss, and they can often burst out an endless stream of creative inspiration.
Not only them, Zhang Qiang, who is in charge of administrative management, is also leading people from various departments to discuss the issue of company management reform and reorganization.
After all, in order to change to a producer-centered system, many things have to be kept up, and it must be professionalized.
And they are different from this group of filmmakers who don't care about the cost at all. They are responsible for and check the investment of Young Master Huan.
At the very least, when Master Huan asked how much I wanted to invest, they must be able to come up with a figure, right?
Ever since, they also started discussing it.
It may be that this big discussion came too suddenly and was too enjoyable, which directly caused everyone present to forget to stop.
It wasn't until after eight o'clock in the evening that many people's stomachs started growling.
At this moment, everyone burst out laughing in unison.
Just focus on the discussion, forget the time!
Each of them still looks like they still have more to say!
"Let's go, Pangu Hotel's revolving restaurant, I'll treat you, pack it up, let's go there, chat while eating!"
As soon as Yang Huan made a decision, everyone applauded in unison.
A group of people rushed out of the conference room in a mighty manner, and the movement immediately scared the front desk lady who stayed behind to work overtime and jumped up.
At the same time, it also alarmed Su Jingyan who was still waiting in Yang Huan's office.
It was only at this time that Yang Huan remembered that her senior was still waiting for her exclusive interview!
"Let's go, let's go eat together, and we'll talk after eating!" Yang Huan extended the invitation with a smile.
Su Jingyan curled her lips helplessly, and could only agree
