297 [Development is the last word]
After a night of rest, Ye Jin went to Jiahe to visit Zou Wenhuai.
"Mr. Zou, long time no see you." He greeted with a smile.
"A Jin, you finally come back, but I miss you so much." Zou Wenhuai laughed and said, "You did a really beautiful job in Hollywood. All of Xiangjiang, you are the second person to make a name for yourself in Hollywood. It's really good."
"Thank you, Mr. Zou for your praise, and thank you for helping me pave the way." Ye Jin smiled, "Otherwise, I can't even find the Hollywood door."
"We are a family, so there is no need to be polite." Zou Wenhuai waved his hand and smiled, "Will there be any big moves when he comes back this time?"
"Of course, I'm going to make another movie when I come back this time, so I can't let the fans forget me." Ye Jin smiled.
"Don't worry, you are so outstanding, you are simply the pride of our Xiangjiang people. Everyone will not forget you!" Zou Wenhuai said with a smile.
After chatting about Hollywood's experiences, Zou Wenhuai asked with a smile, "A Jin, what do you think of the situation in Hollywood now?"
"What aspect do Mr. Zou want to ask?" Ye Jin was stunned, not sure about his intentions.
The situation in Hollywood is nothing more than the fact that the six giants occupy a monopoly position and independent film companies are struggling to survive. This situation has not changed much thirty years ago and thirty years later.
"I actually want to ask, the current situation in Hollywood is not convenient for us to develop in the past?" Zou Wenhuai asked.
Ye Jin was stunned,
Unexpectedly, Zou Wenhuai had a great ideal and wanted to expand his territory in Hollywood.
This kind of ambition is quite worthy of encouragement. After all, it is already amazing to dare to think about it.
"Of course." Ye Jin nodded, "Hollywood welcomes foreign investors very much. As long as Mr. Zou, you are willing to spend money, I think they will never refuse people from a thousand miles away."
"Of course they won't refuse, but they won't work with me with the project." Zou Wenhuai sneered, "The projects they gave are all extremely high risks. If I work with them, they will be destined to be eaten by them."
"Well, I have a solution to this." Ye Jin smiled and said, "A newly established caa agency in Hollywood is now launching a [packaging service] to prepare all the scripts, directors, actors, and behind-the-scenes staff required for a movie project. You just need to invest.
I think you can cooperate with it. If there is a suitable project, you can invest. I think it is much more insurance than working with a large-scale film company."
"Oh?!" Zou Wenhuai's eyes lit up immediately when he heard this, "Is there such a company? Why haven't I heard of it before?"
"It has just been established, only five months." Ye Jin smiled, "But the five founders are professional agents from WMA, not a team of grass-roots players. Moreover, they have teamed up more than a dozen movie projects, and I have worked with them on two projects."
"Really?" Zou Wenhuai was skeptical when he heard this.
The main reason is that Caa has just been established and has no decent fame or record, so he is always worried.
Ye Jin said that this kind of [packaging service] is reliable and whether his investment will be wasted. He still couldn't believe it.
"Let's do it. In two days, our first project, "Ghost Street", will be released." Ye Jin smiled, "You can see how its performance is, and then whether you should consider cooperating with them."
""Ghost Street"?! Okay." Zou Wenhuai nodded.
...
"By the way, Mr. Ye, will you consider filming a new movie when you come back this time?" Zou Wenhuai asked again.
"Of course." Ye Jin nodded and smiled, "I have a three-year contract with Jiahe. If I don't film, you will be unhappy, Mr. Zou."
"Where, where." Zou Wenhuai waved his hand quickly, but a hint of joy appeared on his face.
Although Myth Film has made stars such as Sammo Hung, Yuan Biao, Jackie Chan, Wu Yaohan in the past two years, the money they earned together is not as good as Ye Jin alone. Therefore, Zou Wenhuai still hopes that Ye Jin can return to Xiangjiang to film, so that Jiahe can get the greatest benefits.
"Okay, Mr. Zou, I will arrange the new drama as soon as possible." Ye Jin smiled, "The film should be turned on within ten days at the latest."
"Then I'm waiting for your good news." Zou Wenhuai smiled happily when he heard this.
...
After visiting Zou Wenhuai, Ye Jin immediately returned to the company.
Guo Zhenghong personally led the company colleagues to greet him, and then followed Ye Jin into the office.
"Mr. Ye, this is the company's account list from April to October. Please check it out." Guo Zhenghong handed over several stacks of documents to Ye Jindao.
"I don't see these anymore." Ye Jin waved his hand.
When will he see so many accounts alone? I'm afraid he can't finish reading them even if he can't even see them all.
Moreover, he has never studied accounting, and even if there are loopholes in the account, he cannot see it with his ability.
He is planning to find a professional accounting firm to help check these accounts.
"Just briefly introduce to me, the company's operating conditions in the past six months will be enough." Ye Jin nodded.
"Yes, from April to October, the company has produced a total of five movies, namely "The Brave Is Not Fearful", "The Three Destiny Monk and the Milk Million Six", "Fat Dragon Crossing the River", "Fate Sword and Death Gun" and "One and Half-Term Breakthrough in the River and the World." Guo Zhenghong immediately introduced, "The Brave Is Not Fearful" has a box office of 5.2 million Hong Kong dollars, and Taiwan's box office of 1,245 NT$..."
Numbers were spit out from his mouth, as smooth as flowing water, and Ye Jin nodded unstoppable. Being able to remember so many boring numbers firmly shows that Manager Guo’s work attitude is still very serious, at least he has put in effort.
"In addition to the profits of the movie, the company has also helped Sammo Hung, Wu Yaohan, Yuan Biao, Jackie Chan and others participate in commercial performances, preparing advertisements, etc. Among them, Sammo Hung received six advertisements, namely Qiao Daughter-in-law rice cooker and mouth meat sausage..." Guo Zhenghong continued to report, "The company has won 3.56 million Hong Kong dollars in these commercial performances."
"In terms of company expenditure, the cost of the production of the five films is..." Guo Zhenghong continued to report, "Promotional fees, public relations fees, employee salaries, water and electricity fees, insurance fees, etc., are totally..."
"Mr. Ye, the company's total profit in the past six months is HK$18.65 million, and now the book funds are HK$16.82 million." Guo Zhenghong's last report.
After hearing this, Ye Jin nodded.
The profit of 18 million Hong Kong dollars in half a year is quite good. Last year, he was so tired that he only earned 20 million Hong Kong dollars.
From this we can see that development is the hard truth.
Otherwise, when will he make so much money by relying on himself?
