Chapter 300 Animation production and mutual assistance of talents
three days later.

Zhang Yang was filming when he received a message from Yang Yu.

Chasing Light sent a vice president over to discuss with him in person.

After agreeing to meet in a teahouse outside the film and television base, Zhang Yang arranged the affairs of the set, and drove to the agreed box by himself.

As soon as he opened the door, Zhang Yang saw a person sitting in the box.

Seeing him coming, the man hurriedly welcomed Zhang Yang into the room, and said politely: "Hello, Mr. Zhang, I am Yu Lizhou, the vice president of Chasing Light Animation Film Company."

Yu Lizhou stood up and passed a business card across the tea table with both hands.

Zhang Yang glanced at it, put away the business card, sat down and said with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Yu."

"Boss Zhang is really young and promising."

After Yu Lizhou finished his self-introduction, the first sentence he said was to sigh Zhang Yang's age: "In the film and television industry, there are really only a handful of people as young as Mr. Zhang."

"Boss Yu is not too old."

Zhang Yang looked at the other party with a smile.

Yu Lizhou is really not old, he looks very young on the outside, according to the information on the Internet, he is 43 years old and has entered middle age.

But now I saw with my own eyes that the real person looked more energetic than the photos, wearing a black suit and tall and straight.

"Compared with Mr. Zhang, he looks old."

Yu Lizhou shook his head and smiled helplessly.

Although he knew Zhang Yang's age for a long time, he had never seen it with his own eyes. Now that he actually saw it, Yu Lizhou knew that it was such a young man in his twenties who set off a wave of fantasy movies in China.

At his current age, it is very rare for him to reach his current position in the industry, but he did not expect Zhang Yang on the other side to be even more powerful.

"It's really not as good as being famous, Mr. Zhang is younger than I imagined."

Yu Lizhou said with emotion.

"Haha, sit down and drink tea."

Zhang Yang poured a cup of tea for the other party, then closed the door, and said with a smile: "Let's not talk about gossip. Director Yang should have said my conditions. I can invest the money. I don't know what price Chasing Light is willing to pay? Let me talk first." Well, I'm not interested in 8% of the box office."

Speaking of business, Yu Lizhou immediately looked serious.

"When Director Yang's news was received, the company immediately organized a meeting to discuss a new plan."

"For the investment in "Tongtian", if Xuanyu is willing to invest 2 million, Chasing Light Company is willing to give up 10% of the box office revenue."

"Follow the Light is very optimistic about this movie. 10% of the box office share will definitely not make Xuanyu's 2 million investment lose money. What do you think, Mr. Zhang?"

"10%?" Zhang Yang shook his head: "I put in 2 million, even without tax and other deductions, the box office of "Babel" must be at least 20 billion before I can recoup the cost. I am sorry for the box office share. .”

"Does Mr. Zhang think that "Tongtian" won't get a box office of 20 billion?" Yu Lizhou asked rhetorically.

"You can't say that." Zhang Yang took a sip of tea and replied: "Investment is risky, especially in the film industry. I don't know how much investment is made in films every year. How many of them can really pay back?"

The output value of Longguo's film industry has become a large market worth hundreds of billions of dollars. Every year, countless people bring money to invest in movies, dreaming of making a fortune, but only a small part of them actually make money from movies.

"Investment is indeed risky, but the past achievements lie in chasing the past. Our company has cultivated a group of loyal movie fans.

Moreover, the company has done market research, and it is estimated that the box office of "Tongtian" is far more than 20 billion. In the report, Chasing Light conservatively estimated the box office of this movie at around 40 billion, or even higher, 10% The box office share has far exceeded the investment amount of 2 million yuan. Xuanyu's investment can be said to be a steady profit. "

Yu Lizhou turned on the computer while talking, and showed an internal report of chasing light.

There is a lot of information on it, and after comprehensive consideration of various aspects and a lot of market research, the final result is that the box office of "Babel" is estimated to be above 40 billion.

Zhang Yang just glanced at it casually, and then looked away, not caring what was written in the report at all.

"Estimate? If the estimate can be calculated accurately, it is not called an estimate."

"According to Xuan Yu's estimate, "Shading the Sky 3" can earn 1000 billion at the box office, does Mr. Yu believe it?"

"There is no need to present this kind of report. I only believe in the specific results, and it is not accurate to predict such things."

Seeing this situation, Yu Lizhou's face froze.

The forecast is indeed only a rough estimate, but each forecast report is based on a large amount of data to calculate the final result. Even if there is a gap, the final result is not far from the difference.

Unless there is a social situation that affects the whole country, it may lead to a huge change in the result.

But in the current situation, is it possible for such a big event to happen?
He believes that Zhang Yang, as the promoter of the current wave of fantasy films, is absolutely clear about this.

The world's film market has already focused its attention on Dragon Country. The domestic film production value will definitely soar this year, and the market is booming.

Zhang Yang said that now, he just wanted more.

Yu Lizhou immediately understood everything, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "It seems that Mr. Zhang wants more."

"Huh~"

Zhang Yang was noncommittal, playing with the teacup in his hand, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Seeing him like this, Yu Lizhou was even more sure.

"Since that's the case, Mr. Zhang might as well talk about your conditions. As long as they are reasonable, I can decide on any conditions."

"Any conditions?"

Zhang Yang glanced at him.

"Yes, any conditions!" Yu Lizhou said in a deep voice: "Before I came, the Board of Directors of Chasing Light had granted me full authority to handle this negotiation, and I have the right to make decisions on any request, so please speak bluntly, Mr. Zhang, you... What exactly do you want?"

"Very good! Since you have the right to make a decision, let me tell you what I think."

Seeing Yu Lizhou sitting upright with a solemn expression, Zhang Yang put down his teacup and put forward his own conditions.

"To tell you the truth, I've done an investigation, and the current funding gap of "Tongtian" is at most 2 million yuan. The proposal of [-] million yuan is entirely based on your company's consideration of having more leeway."

"Of course, 2 million is 2 million. I have no objection, as long as Chase Guang agrees to my terms."

Zhang Yang paused, looked at the slightly embarrassed expression on Yu Lizhou's face, smiled and took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "I only need 8% of the box office share of "Tongtian", but other than that, chasing Guang has to sign another contract with Xuan Yu."

"What contract?"

Yu Lizhou hurriedly asked.

"Animation production and talent mutual aid contract." Looking at the blank look on Yu Lizhou's face, Zhang Yang put down his teacup and said in a deep voice: "Within two years, Chase Light must unconditionally help Xuanyu produce an animation at the market price, and at the same time Help Xuanyu cultivate no less than 100 animation industry talents!"

"If chasing the light is acceptable, the 2 million investment will arrive immediately!"
