The First Thousand Four Hundred and Twelve Chapters Make Clear the Interests

Xiao Yunhai didn't deliberately eavesdrop on their discussions, but he still caught their words, basically talking about David Hartnett and his personal studio.

When he entered the conference room, everyone stopped, stood up in unison, and greeted him.

Xiao Yunhai waved his hand and said, "Everyone, sit down quickly, you don't need to be so polite. Haha, after more than a year of development, the power of our Marvel agency is getting stronger and stronger. At the beginning, my goal was to be able to Competing with those world-class brokerage companies, seeing you, I find that our goals seem to be a bit low."

"Hahaha."

Everyone laughed.

Xiao Yunhai waved his hand, took the list of people who came to the meeting from Mo Yina, and said, "I have seen most of you here, and I have not seen a few. Mr. Wagner, let me introduce myself. Don't stand up and waste everyone's time as we already know."

Todd Wagner, who was in his sixties, smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, I am Todd Wagner, a newcomer to our company. I have been in the Hollywood entertainment industry since I was ten years old, and it has been more than fifty years since I was able to enter our company. Marvel family, I am very happy, and please take care of Mr. Xiao in the future."

Xiao Yunhai laughed and said: "Mr. Wagner is joking. There is a saying in China that there is an old family in a family, if there is a treasure. The company still needs to rely on you for many things."

Todd Wagner said: "If it is useful to my old place, Mr. Xiao can say yes."

Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Then I can thank you in advance. This should be the famous Hollywood actress Lucia, right?"

Sheila Lucia is one of the top actresses in Hollywood, but she is almost forty years old, but her acting skills are definitely one of the most powerful in Hollywood.

"Mr. Xiao,

It has been several months since I came to our company, and this is the first time I see you. Hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with you. "Sheila Lucia said generously.

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "There will be a chance."

Sun Ke does not cool knot tactics

In this way, Xiao Yunhai and more than 20 other artists whom he had not met all greeted each other, and it was considered that they knew each other.

Xiao Yunhai said: "Let's introduce it here, let's go straight to the topic. I believe everyone should know the reason why I invited you to come to the meeting?"

Ship Keqiu Di alone ship Shumoyue Taishuyue

Shu Mo Yue Tai Shu Yue "As you all know, we succeeded in the end, and I made more than 300 million. But who would have thought that the funds for my third film were that I sold two buildings. The villa was raised by borrowing another 30 million yuan from the bank. Once the film loses money, hehe, I can only disband the studio and repay the debt by filming. This is my studio’s work experience in the past six months. It’s really hard to make money, and sometimes luck is the majority.”

Todd Wagner nodded and said, "We've already heard Mr. Mo say it's about the artist studio."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "That's right. Mr. Wagner, you are a veteran Hollywood star who has seen a lot of ups and downs in the entertainment industry. What do you think of this studio? Do you want to set up a studio like David's? "

Todd Wagner thought about his words and said, "If you want to set up a studio, the requirements are very high, and the risks are also very high. I am in my 60s this year, how could I have to work hard to get involved."

Xiao Yunhai's eyes lit up, he glanced at the wrinkled old man in surprise, and said, "It's up to you to see clearly. Why don't you tell me the advantages and disadvantages of the studio, lest everyone think I disagree. They build studios."

Xiao Yunhai knew very well that if he continued to talk about the disadvantages of the studio, he would definitely disgust the artists present. After all, he is the boss of the entertainment company, and in this matter, he is against them. No matter what he says, there will be problems.

And Todd Wagner has always been a mature and prudent person. He has a very good reputation in Hollywood, and he is also an actor. If he were to say it, the effect would definitely be several times stronger.

The enemy is not far away, only Sun Chamo, moon skills, I'm cool

Todd Wagner said with a smile: "Okay, then let me talk about my understanding of the artist studio. I went to David's before to have a look, and I have a good understanding of their work process and the cooperation method of the parent company. The feeling of being a person is very novel, and there are many benefits. First, artists can arrange jobs for themselves, come across a film that they think is good, and even invest in themselves, so they have a lot of freedom. Second, relying on the company, they can solve many problems, such as The three movies that David filmed were all screened through Marvel’s channels. In Huaxia’s words, they were backed by a big tree to enjoy the shade. More importantly, this studio gave us artists a feeling of being the master of the house. We have the final say in everything. The appeal of this to our artists can be imagined.”

"Usually I hear everyone talking about how good a personal studio is and how much money can be made after it is established. I can tell you that this is all immature. Everything has two sides, there are good sides, and there are bound to be The bad side. You see its advantages, but I see its huge risks. First of all, the expenses of the entire studio include staff salaries, packaging for themselves, publicity for new works, etc. Our artists are responsible for it, which is a huge expense, and star artists below the second tier cannot afford it at all, and it is difficult to be regarded as an artist above the first tier."

"Secondly, since you set up a personal studio, you will definitely go to film. I don't think our artists can have the vision of the experts in the company's screenwriting team. I have worked hard in Hollywood all my life, and I think my vision is accurate. Bad movies. There is still a big gap between what we think is good and what fans actually like. David should know this very well. He invested in three low-budget movies this year, and the first two failed. You know He is an actor, and even he is not sure about it, let alone other artists. The third studio is equivalent to a tiny company. You are the boss, and you should put a lot of effort into its development. We are all actors, and we should be a Actors don’t think about their acting skills, but instead get distracted by doing those things. Do you think your acting skills will improve or decline. Acting is the foundation of our life, without it, our actors can’t be called actors anymore.”

"Everyone, this is my family's words. If there is any inappropriateness, please correct me."

If you don't know what to do

The knot is not unreasonable, and the battle of the moon is far away, "Hahaha."

After listening to Todd Wagner's words, Xiao Yunhai took the lead in applauding, and the other artists followed suit.

After the applause, Xiao Yunhai praised: "I'm right, there is an old man in a family, if there is a treasure. The old man looks at a thing more comprehensively than the young man. What Mr. Wagner said is similar to what I wanted to say. David set up this studio because he met the conditions in all aspects. He is an actor, has his own network of contacts, and can talk to the bosses of major Hollywood entertainment companies. And after years of development, he himself has A lot of savings are enough to cover the various expenses of the studio. Let’s put it this way, the prerequisites for establishing an artist studio are contacts and funds. I can say that most of you here do not have this ability. "

David Hartnett sighed and said, "I hope you'd better think about it, don't see my studio make some money this year and set up blindly. To tell the truth, I am now Some regrets. You only saw my success this time, but very few people saw my failure in the first two films."

Xiao Yunhai laughed and said: "By the way, David, I forgot to ask you. How much did you spend on those three films? How did the script come from? Which actors did you hire? Anyway, everyone is fine, Say it."

David Hartnett said: "Okay. Now I have set up a studio in Hollywood, and I will share my thoughts with you. Most of the people here should know the scripts of these three movies. I bought them with six million dollars, two million each. No way, almost all entertainment companies are buying scripts. If I don’t pay a high price, which screenwriter can take the initiative to find me.”

"A total of 330 million US dollars was invested in the first two films, and the leading actors were all actors from our own company. The first film did not pass our company's review and was all invested by me. The final box office was 18 million US dollars and lost 210 million. The second film and the first film were invested at the same time, and they also failed the company's assessment. Everyone knows that this film has basically maintained a balance of revenue and expenditure, but in fact I lost almost 12 million US dollars, mainly due to publicity. After the film failed, don't look at me on the surface, but I actually wanted to jump off the building. My wife quarreled with me for three consecutive days and almost didn't divorce me. "

"In those days, I often went to the bar to drink and drink, and by coincidence, I met a young man. He recognized me and chatted with me. He is a screenwriter, he wrote a script by himself, and invested in many companies, but none Passed. So I took a look and thought it was very good. I bought it for 2 million, and then brought this script to the audit department of our company. The audit department is also very optimistic about it, so I invested 70% , The company invested 30% and spent 240 million US dollars to co-produce the film."

"As you all know, we succeeded in the end, and I made more than 300 million. But who would have thought that the funds for my third film were that I sold two villas and loaned another 30 million to the bank. I just raised it. Once the film loses money, hehe, I can only disband the studio and repay the debt by making movies. This is my studio’s work experience for half a year. It’s really hard to make money, and sometimes it’s luck. Ingredients make up the majority.”

After listening to David Harnett's words, everyone fell into contemplation.

If he were him, would he be able to afford the loss of more than 200 million US dollars? The answer is obvious, it is simply unaffordable, even if it is not enough to sell iron.
