The so-called special representative of the High Court Consortium is actually an acquaintance of Duan Xi - Qin Hongxian, the Qi realm master manager whom he met on the Xia He gambling boat!
So when this woman who exuded a charming aura from head to eye came to Millennium Headquarters in person the next day to meet with Duan Xi and Chen Ange, everyone was spared the need to introduce her.
"I can't believe that Director Qin and Gaole Gaming have such identities." Duan Xi said with a smile.
Qin Hongxian smiled and said: "The business of the Gaoting Consortium is relatively large. It can be said that as long as the first word of the name is 'Gao' and the business is relatively large, it basically belongs to the 'Gaoting Family' industry."
It’s no wonder that Gaole Casino is so popular in Dongda District, with unimpeded access, and the big trees behind it are so strong.
“Generally speaking, for industries that are more socially progressive, Boss Cheng will directly display the Gaoting brand,” Qin Hongxian said. “For example, gambling, nightclubs, and other industries that are more damaging to the social image will choose new names.
Register and try to distance yourself from any superficial connection with the group headquarters, and the same is true for Gaule Casino."
Isn't this a business idea that is both upright and upright? Although it is very slick, Chen Ange thinks it is worth learning from. Boss Cheng is a veteran and a big boss, and many of his successes are indeed worth learning from.
Duan Xi: "Please ask Director Qin to convey our Millennium's gratitude to Boss Cheng, otherwise we would not have gained so much at the Golden Phoenix Award Ceremony. As for the cooperation that Boss Cheng mentioned, I don't know which aspect he is referring to."
"Of course it's a movie." Qin Hongxian said with a smile, "Boss Cheng really appreciates your company's shooting ideas and even more likes your publicity methods. Everything is different from those companies in the past. Therefore, she is very optimistic about Millennium Pictures.
s future."
So, how many Golden Phoenix trophies were given as greeting gifts first? And because of these Golden Phoenix Awards, the value and popularity of Millennium Pictures have soared. If the High Court Foundation intervenes, wouldn't it mean that the value of their new industry will be increased first?
Got a handful?
This business is pretty good, and I've taken care of everything.
However, Chen Ange did not want anyone to divide his shares.
So when she heard Qin Hongxian's description, she felt a little worried: "Boss Cheng's family has a big business, so he looks down on our small company too much."
Qin Hongxian is also a smart person. She couldn't see where Chen Ange was concerned, so she laughed so hard: "Mr. Ge is worrying too much! Boss Cheng often says that if the premise of benefiting yourself is harming others, then don't do this business."
"Seeing that other people's companies are developing well, I want to step in and invest in them, or even ask for shares, and then annex them... That's what a hopeless consortium does. Boss Cheng is engaged in this kind of unkind business.
"
"If we cooperate for a long time, you will gradually realize that what I said is no lie."
Duan Xi sighed: "This is the boss who does big business. In fact, I have heard some things about Boss Cheng, and his benevolence and righteousness have long been heard in the business world."
It's just that Cheng Manling has always kept a low profile. Not only does he not show up much, he even refuses normal publicity reports, so he always gives people the feeling of living behind the scenes.
Qin Hongxian: "Boss Cheng's method of cooperation is to simply provide investment, and after making profits, the profits will be distributed normally according to the investment ratio."
For example, "Peace Hotel" invested 10 million, and the High Court Consortium was willing to invest 4 million. When the final net income is calculated and reaches 50 million, then in proportion, Millennium will take away 30 million, while the High Court Consortium will take away 20 million.
.
Although it will be more distressing when you take away the profit share, but what if you lose the money? It means that the High Court has shared the pressure of loss for you.
Moreover, once cooperation begins, the behind-the-scenes resources of the High Court Consortium can be borrowed, and even local forces will no longer dare to interfere.
If Governor Lu Xianglin secretly orders all cities not to broadcast "Peace Hotel", the incidence rate will be greatly reduced. Just imagine, if the local Department of Culture and Education bans Millennium's film, the loss will be to the High Court, and the High Court
Standing behind the court is the director of culture and education at the top of the alliance...Does the local director of culture and education still dare?
Therefore, it is equivalent to paying a protection fee covering the entire cultural and educational fields of the alliance.
Moreover, Millennium has started to do business in Danjiang, but looking at the entire alliance, it is still a small, fledgling company, even in a single film field, it is just a rookie.
So if you can get investment from such a large capital group and still retain enough autonomy for you, this is already very conscientious.
Thinking back to those large enterprises in previous lives, none of them started without the support of important capital groups.
So overall, the investment in the High Court is an opportunity for Millennium.
Duan Xi: "It seems that Boss Cheng is actually doing venture capital for projects, right?"
Qin Hongxian's eyes lit up: "You summarized it very accurately and captured the essence directly. No wonder Boss Cheng said that your thinking is different from ordinary businessmen."
Duan Xi: "Moreover, it is not Millennium Company that invests, but every film."
Qin Hongxian: "Yes. After all, direct investment in Millennium will inevitably cause you to worry about being embezzled or even merged. Boss Cheng doesn't like to do such things that make partners unhappy. But not every project will be invested, Gao Ting
I just want to keep every investment option open."
If you think your film is a bad one, the High Court may not vote for it, and you millennials can just go and make it on your own;
If you think you can make money but the risk is not small, the High Court can invest a small part;
If it feels that this film can be as popular as "Peace Hotel", then maybe the High Court will directly increase the investment amount to the upper limit - 80% of the total investment.
"This approach is possible, but the total investment limit is too high." Duan Xi's representative Chen Ange said, "It can only reach 50% at most, and Millennium must retain the final decision-making power on major project matters."
This was exactly the bottom line of the negotiation that Cheng Manling told Qin Hongxian. So while Qin Hongxian was secretly surprised, she also chose to nod in agreement.
"What about the time limit for investment? Five years?"
Duan Xi calculated how long it would take for Millennium to become stronger and bigger, and felt that given five years, Millennium should be able to become its own big tree, not afraid of wind and rain.
But Qin Hongxian shook his head, insisting on at least ten years of authority. Within ten years, the High Court has the initiative to choose whether to participate in every film produced by Millennium Pictures, and whether to renew the contract after the ten years expires.
It is then up to both parties to negotiate.
"Brother, you may feel that you have lost some freedom, but you will gain more. The two Golden Phoenix trophies for Best Actress and Special Contribution Award are gifts from Boss Cheng, but they are also a tribute to Millennium.
Strength is guaranteed. As long as we can continue to cooperate, these things will come naturally in the next ten years."
Your Millennium can produce a large number of movie kings, movie queens, best supporting actors or best supporting actresses. How much extra profit can it bring to Millennium just from their endorsement fees?
Take Mu Rou as an example. The endorsements she has received now have reached nearly 10 million yuan, giving Qian Qian a free share of more than 4 million yuan in net profit.
Overall, the ten-year investment right is acceptable, and Duan Xi, on behalf of Chen Ange, expressed pleasure in the cooperation.
Qin Hongxian: "If Millennium Group has any other projects in the future, it can also try to cooperate with Gaoting Consortium. Gaoting has absolutely abundant funds behind it, and it also has a network of connections that no one in Danjiang or even Dongda District has.
It can accelerate the growth of the project.”
Chen Ange: "What about the movie city? Are you interested?"
Qin Hongxian shook his head: "Actually, the upper management of Gaoting has studied it and believes that your project should be profitable, but there is not much profit to be made. In the end, it will mainly produce social benefits. To put it bluntly, it will mainly focus on reputation.
This is not very attractive to the High Court which is focused on capital gains."
Therefore, the most enthusiastic person about this matter was not Gao Ting, but Han Lianjiang.
However, for Millennium, fame and fortune are necessary. Including the radio station news project that will be launched soon, they are also necessary conditions for establishing a foothold and slowly growing bigger.
The basic framework has been agreed upon, and Qin Hongxian said that specific personnel will be available to discuss the details in the near future.
"So, do you have any plans for the next film?" Qin Hongxian asked seemingly casually, but actually she wanted to get some reliable information to facilitate the High Court's further decision-making.
If "Peace Hotel" is just an unexpected success and there are no amazing follow-up works, it will also affect Gao Ting's investment interest.
Duan Xi: "Yes, it's just because of Wu Dongpeng's unexpected resignation that I had to choose the male lead again. In addition, Mu Rou is not suitable to play the female lead in this drama."
Qin Hongxian: "Do you need Gao Ting's help? In this field, as long as Boss Cheng lets it go, artists who are willing to join will flock to it. Even if the contract is in place, the partners should not dare to stop it."
Duan Xi shook his head: "Actually, I really want to be able to solve the heroine problem - if Director Qin is willing, it will be very suitable for my heroine setting."
Qin Hongxian covered her mouth and laughed, her shoulders shaking with laughter, and her eyes narrowed into a thin line: "Me? I'm just a layman who makes movies."
But you are all about drama, and you are a born drama queen. From the first time you saw her bare arms shaking dice on the Xiahe, to later going to the Xiahe with Shen Lan to hunt down, this woman is simply a
A master of drama.
"Are you really kidding?" Qin Hongxian was a little surprised. In this era, being on the big screen is still a very sacred thing, and even this Qi Jin master found it very fresh and interesting.
"Of course. You meet all the requirements very well, even more so than a professional actor. At least, you don't need to fake it when filming the fighting scenes."
A master of majestic aura, he is perfect for filming scenes. Duan Xi has always felt that compared with the mature film industries in his previous life, the only strength of the Kunlun World film industry should be martial arts dramas.
Because there are so many "real masters" here, all of them are real kung fu stars like Bruce Lee and Jet Li. There is no need for actors to sit on a three-bouncer and pretend to ride a horse, or to clumsily imitate movements and use various stunts.
Come pretend that the artist knows martial arts.
Qin Hongxian found it a bit incredible: "You are not using this role to bribe me as a negotiator, are you? I have my word first. I am just here to discuss the big framework. I have no control over what happens next."
"Business is business, and movies are movies, so think too much."
"That's okay. I'll try it later. It's quite fresh!"
After Qin Hongxian left, Chen Ange breathed a small sigh of relief. He thought that the behemoth of Gaoting was here to eat people, but it turned out that it was here to deliver welfare. If Gaoting behaves like what we just discussed, he will really be a conscientious businessman.
"But wasn't it a bit random to let her star in a new movie just now?"
"It's not random at all. In fact, looking at the female artists in the entire film industry, I can't think of anyone who is more suitable than her to play the role in my heart."
"Where's the script?" Chen Ange spread his hands, "Thank you for being so secretive and not telling me the plan for the new drama for so long."
"I'll ask my friend Brother Fa to work overtime later and I'll give it to you tomorrow..."
"Hahaha!"
As for the second film Duan Xi has in mind, the one he needs to "learn from" is "New Dragon Gate Inn".
This drama was very popular in its previous life and is also a classic masterpiece of martial arts films.
Doesn’t Zhang Yunwei have a martial arts dream in his heart? I will help you realize it.
As for the quality of the film, in fact, there is still no need to worry too much, because Duan Xi is talking about the time difference, or even the "era difference". This kind of film is still a blank field in today's world, and it is easy to understand and accept. As long as it is filmed
If you are above the basic level, you will not pounce.
As for the most eye-catching heroine in it, the coquettish and charming boss lady Jin Xiangyu, she is just like a character tailor-made by Qin Hongxian, and her character setting does not need to be modified.
