The Director of Music Department

The return on investment is tens of times, although it is only the rate of return on the book, it is enough to make people envious.

Especially for such small-cost, short-term and fast projects with small investment, even if there are risks, it doesn't matter if you lose money.

Times Light and Shadow was the first to be tempted. Compared with other giants, Times Light and Shadow is in the worst situation.

If it is said that because Huaxin is a new giant, it has insufficient background and lacks film sources, then this time Xinxing is a very good example. In the short term, it has added film sources to Huaxin, and they are still high-quality film sources. In the long run, the impact But it is very impressive, especially as those directors who have grown up on the platform of Xinxing and Huaxin will continue to provide Huaxin with high-quality film sources.

Times Light and Shadow is a bit embarrassing. The movies released by Times Light and Shadow this year are actually not big productions. In terms of quantity, Times Light and Shadow has released more than 20 films this year. Some of them are produced by their own companies, and Times Light and Shadow Participating in the investment, there are also film sources from other external film production companies, but the embarrassing thing is that the total box office of the films released by Times Light and Shadow as of December this year, including the "Mars Battlefield" co-released with Shengtang Kyushu , It turned out to only have a box office of more than 1.8 billion.

If it is placed on other small distribution companies, the box office of more than 1.8 billion is really not small, but Times Light and Shadow is one of the giants.

Such a result is simply ashamed to be thrown to grandma's house.

Among the several giants, it can be said to be the bottom one.

Although Huaxin is a new company and a new giant, in terms of distribution, it has surpassed the times.

The combination of Wang Yifan's movies and Xu Cang's movies alone surpassed the times.

But now, New Star has started to make breakthroughs in low-cost movies. Huaxin can be said to be thriving. Even if you don't want to admit it, you have to admit that Huaxin has surpassed the times.

Therefore, Dai Xinyue was very distressed, and Dai Zilong was very annoyed and under a lot of pressure.

After all, Times Light and Shadow also has many shareholders. If you can’t bring better benefits to shareholders, they will naturally be dissatisfied and put pressure on them. It means that other shareholders cannot give pressure.

Therefore, it is impossible to reduce expenditure, so it can only be open source!

However, after the shareholding change and internal turmoil of Times Light and Shadow, the cash flow is actually very lacking, because the investment in "Mars Battlefield" did not bring enough income, and the new investment in Chen Hang's super blockbuster, so The light and shadow of the times are really quite embarrassing!

However, for the giants, funds may be tight, but they can easily obtain external financing.

But the problem is that you have to give confidence to external capital, but obviously, it is difficult for Times Light and Shadow to give external capital confidence, because this year, Times Light and Shadow is really miserable!

If you want to invest in high-quality films, you can’t find a way, because most of the projects of those big directors are eaten by themselves, and they would rather get external financing than share a piece of the pie with other competitors.

Chen Hang's film is due to too much investment and high risk, so it is impossible for external capital to support unlimitedly, and such a large production also requires more publicity resources, so this is actually It is a replacement of resources.

I will give you an investment share, and when it is released, you have to give up some publicity resources.

But like Wang Yifan's project "The Martian", first he will invest part of it himself, and Huaxin will eat the rest, not because of a lack of investment, but because such a high-quality project, a clearly profitable project, is definitely impossible to let go.

Therefore, Times Light and Shadow is really embarrassing now.

Times Lighting is not without cooperating directors, such as Wu Han and Wu Tianxiong, both were attracted by Times Lighting, but this is obviously not enough.

Moreover, Wu Han is working on a big production, and the time period will be at least one year, which cannot quench the near thirst.

But Wu Tianxiong never looked back on the road of literary and artistic films.

The failure of several commercial films made Wu Tianxiong lose confidence.

Therefore, in the internal meeting of Times Light and Shadow, Dai Zilong and Dai Xinyue mentioned the new star model.

"Supporting new directors and creating their own blood is what any company wants to do, but in reality? The Beichuan Film Festival is a film festival that supports young directors, but after so many years, there are only one or two every year A good movie."

"The Chinese new star director project, which was applauded by the entire film circle earlier, ended up spending hundreds of millions, but it didn't even make a splash. There were a few directors of literary films, but the previous literary films could go overseas to win awards. What, but now, Huaguo's literary films are not popular in overseas film festivals, and they can't sell at all, and they are all at a loss." Dai Xinyue is still skeptical about this plan.

"Of course, I still support this plan, because this is the long-term solution, but we can't use the new star as a benchmark, because the model of the new star is not replicable at all." Dai Xinyue is not so optimistic.

"You can't say that. The directors of the new star movies are all unknown new directors. Most of them have never made movies, and the actors are all ordinary actors. I don't think there is anything that cannot be copied." Dai Ziyang suddenly Just retorted.

"Hehe, don't forget that the most unrepeatable thing about Xinxing's project is not the director or the actors, but the script creativity! It's that those script ideas all come from Wang Yifan!" Dai Xinyue said with a disdainful glance at Dai Ziyang.

Dai Zilong's face was a bit ugly. Who compromised with Wang Yifan directly in order to control the group? Not only paid a lot of money to buy back the shares, but also sold back the shares of Wang Yifan's Xingmeng Company to Wang Yifan at a cheap price.

Now the more successful Wang Yifan is, the more embarrassing Dai Zilong will be.

"Ahem, is it only Wang Yifan who can write a good script? I don't think so. We can hire a screenwriter with a lot of money to create a script for us. The so-called three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang. I don't believe that so many people will compare It's just Wang Yifan." Dai Ziyang said unhappily.

Dai Ziyang's words still made many people nod.

But Dai Xinyue knew very well that things were not what Dai Ziyang said. Yes, hiring a scriptwriter with a lot of money to create a script might not necessarily lead to good scripts.

But the crux of the problem is that a good script depends on who said it!

Who will check? You know, that's going to cost money.

Why are there so few well-known screenwriters in Huaguo? Why are the three cobblers better than Zhuge Liang? This is really untenable in the entertainment industry, such as stars, talent shows, how many stars can be produced by tens of thousands of people?
