Chapter 511 If you don't succeed, you will become benevolent!(1/2)
Yang Huan sat in the conference room, his mind constantly hovering with the speeches of the movie people just now.
From Huang Jianxin to Xu Ke to Chen Guofu, Wang Jing, Chen Kexin, Xu Zheng, Stephen Chow and others have also expressed their opinions one after another, and expressed their personal feelings about Chinese-language movies.
It was obvious that Yang Huan felt a sense of resentment from them.
Perhaps, as filmmakers, they love movies from the heart, but the cruel reality environment forces them to compromise in ideals and reality.
Even Huayi Pictures, which is known as the most professional management in China, is still difficult to satisfy.
But, ordinary movie fans don’t care about these things. Once they encounter bad movies, they will directly scold the director and the leading actors, but they don’t know that they are all unlucky scapegoats!
No wonder they were resentful!
Thinking of this, Yang Huan suddenly laughed.
Having resentment is a good thing, which proves that they still have a sense of anger in their hearts!
If they have no resentment, it will be disappointing, because they have completely integrated into this market!
Young Master Huan's laughter seemed abrupt in this quiet conference room.
I saw him stand up, nodding his head constantly, and said three or four good words in succession.
"You all said it very well, very good!"
Young Master Huan praised him loudly and then asked back.
"Then I want to ask you, if money is not a problem, do you have the confidence and courage to accompany me to fight this tiger in Hollywood?"
Everyone present was stunned!
What does this mean?
Did Master Huan mean that he would invest in their movies according to Hollywood standards?
If so, that would be a bit crazy, right?
"Young Master Huan, you know this is unrealistic!"
The others are nothing, but CEO Zhang Qiang, who has only been in office for a year, has some opinions.
"Why?" Yang Huan asked again.
He has a specialized career, which is a philosophy he has always believed in.
And he has always believed that as long as it is a problem that money can solve, it is not a problem!
Zhang Qiang thought about it, sorted out his thoughts, and considered his words.
"Master Huan, Hollywood commercial films often have an investment of over 100 million US dollars, which is more than 600 million yuan. OK, even if you consider the gap between domestic labor costs and Hollywood, even if you have 400 million yuan, this is the cost!"
"According to an investment of 400 million, the box office will be at least 1 billion to ensure capital guarantee, but so far, only one big dark horse's love breakup has lasted 33 days!"
Zhang Qiang's analysis is reasonable.
Fatty Wang nodded unstoppably, "After all, the domestic film market is smaller. Commercial films made in the United States make money from the world. In addition, DVD and TV copyrights, as well as other peripherals, box office is not the main source of income for them."
"But our Chinese movies have almost the only profitable point, but the box office of the movies is hard to tell. No matter where it is, even in Hollywood, there are a lot of good movies that become box office cannon fodder every year. So in our country, 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 smile helplessly from the bottom of their hearts.
Although movie fans may not like to listen to this if this is spread, it is a big truth.
Chinese-language movies really can't afford such a big production movie!
Look at the Thirteen Flowers of Jinling this year. Although the production cost of 600 million is an exaggeration, it must be at least about 400 million, right?
As a result, the bumps and bumps exceeded 600 million, and there were almost no overseas markets. It is almost certain that this time I lost a lot of money!
But before everyone finished laughing, Young Master Huan laughed louder than them.
"Rational?" Young Master Huan shook his head disdainfully, "I personally think that's cowardly!"
cowardly?
Everyone present was stunned, and some even blushed involuntarily.
It seems that Master Huan is cowardly, he is talking about!
"If each of us does not have the courage to take this step, and everyone is careful to keep their duties, afraid of taking risks and dare not take responsibility, then tell me what future does Chinese movie have?"
Facing Young Master Huan’s questioning, everyone present was silent.
"This reminds me of a man, James Cameron!"
Yang Huan smiled slightly, "From the Terminator to the Titanic to the Avatar, he has broken through Hollywood's limits again and again. From investment budget to technology, he has shocked people again and again. Could it be that he had no risk when he was making these movies?"
"I don't think it's the risk, there are certainly some issues of size, but what I want to say is that his determination and courage are worthy of our study and admiration!"
"I think, as domestic filmmakers, we should be more generous and not be obsessed with the slightest gains and losses. Making movies is like doing a revolution. If you embark on this path, don't think about turning back and burning your boats. If you fail, you will be successful!"
"Our film market is getting bigger and bigger, and even the entire Asian region is our potential box office market. Once we fail, we will shoot the second time. If we fail twice, we will shoot the third time. I believe that as long as we have the determination and belief to make good movies, we will eventually succeed, and our films will also 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 made a promise.
"I, Yang Huan, will talk about it here today. As long as you are willing to shoot, I will dare to vote!"
The entire conference room suddenly became silent!
All the filmmakers were stunned!
They were all completely shocked by Young Master Huan’s words!
This is not just about being rich or powerful, right?
It is probably difficult to describe Young Master Huan’s approach as an investor!
He made a clear attitude that Miracle Pictures only wanted to do every movie with all its heart and welcomed all like-minded friends!
As for whether the movie loses money, Master Huan doesn’t care at all!
He can afford to lose only a few hundred million 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 industry. With the encouragement of Young Master Huan, they immediately began to actively express their opinions.
From the reform of the professional management model of Miracle Pictures to various matters of the crew, some people even recommend like-minded professionals that they often appreciate, or are not recognized.
It has to be said that although the domestic film and television industry is very chaotic and disorderly, full of all kinds of people, and even some scumbags with low moral character, there are also a group of talented people who truly love movies and are full of enthusiasm, hoping to contribute to Chinese-language films.
Therefore, Yang Huan also decided to bring all this group of people together to form a force!
The discussion atmosphere of the entire meeting was very lively. Everyone expressed their opinions and expressed their own ideas and opinions. Even in the end, they were infected and influenced by the atmosphere and everyone began to give each other opinions.
For example, Huang Jianxin proposed that Miracle Pictures' investment should have a certain proportional plan in the future.
In other words, we have fixed investments in several large productions, several medium productions, and several small-cost productions every year.
Among them, medium production is the most important!
Because medium production is the field that cultivates professional talents the most!
There is also Chen Guofu, who proposed that the Hollywood model should be adopted to form a film project centered on producers.
Moreover, he believes that Xu Ke, Wang Jing, Chen Kexin and others are all very promising producers.
It was from Chen Guofu that Yang Huan realized that he had all produced the most peak movies of Xu Ke.
For example, the director of the heroic character and the bloody hero is Wu Yusen, the director of the Smiling, Proud Wanderer and the Ghost Story of the Chinese Girl is Cheng Xiaodong, and the director of Longmen Inn is Li Huimin.
Wang Jing's most successful period was precisely when he served as a producer.
In fact, the domestic film market is also centered on producers, but the producers are often served by directors.
But considering that Xu Ke and Wang Jing's creative energy is no longer as good as before, their control over the rules of commercial films and the overall quality of films is still quite outstanding.
So it is undoubtedly a very good solution to them as producers and those with strong creative energy to be directors.
As for the position of supervising producer unique to the Chinese film industry, to put it bluntly, it is a producer who has no financial power.
Perhaps the atmosphere of the on-site discussion was very good, Xu Ke humbly accepted Chen Guofu's suggestion and even sent an invitation in turn, hoping that after shooting the filming of the Wisdom Hushan, he would serve as the producer of Ghost Blowing the Lights with Chen Guofu and jointly plan the project.
Chen Kexin said that he was not that old and had a strong desire to create, so he planned to be the director of the Chinese Expeditionary Force himself, while Huang Jianxin served as his producer.
The latter is also the producer who won over Tiger Mountain!
Stephen Chow said that if the box office of Journey to the West sold well, he invited Xu Kelai to be the producer of Journey to the West, and he himself served as the producer and was responsible for the project together.
Wang Jing was also proud of it and directly stated that he was the producer in the new film Casino, and invited his friend Liu Weiqiang, one of the Iron Triangle of Infernal Affairs, to serve as the producer and support newcomers to become directors.
When Yang Huan saw this group of people squirting over there, making all the projects mess up, he immediately smiled bitterly.
But he could feel that everyone present burst out with passion and sparks of creation in such a messy state of discussion, which is undoubtedly a very good phenomenon.
Movies are originally an inspirational creation, which requires their passion and sparks. So many senior filmmakers can often burst into endless creative inspiration.
Not only them, Zhang Qiang, who is in charge of administrative management, also led people from various departments to discuss the issue of company management reform and restructuring.
After all, it needs to be changed to a producer-centered system, and many things have to keep up and be professional.
To be continued...
