The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 78
The reception room of Dunhuang Films.

Both the investor and the investee who have done basic understanding and testing have enthusiastic smiles from the society on their faces.

No, not all of them.

The young and handsome Wang Wei sued his face, his long eyelashes cast a shadow on his handsome face, and his thin lips were lightly pursed, giving people a feeling of repelling others thousands of miles away. He seemed out of place among a group of social people.

Ito Takuma of the Island Investment Fund didn't know why, so he asked Wang Chuanqi with a bright smile in a low voice: "President Wang, Director Wang Wei doesn't look very happy, what's wrong?"

Wang Chuanqi's smile remained unchanged, and he did not lower his voice: "That's right. Didn't I promise that all new film projects financed by external parties will have a third-party completion guarantee?"

"The insurance companies that provide guarantees don't just spend money and do nothing. They will send people to monitor the filming process. Any major changes to the crew must be approved by the representatives they send."

"Director, as you know, no one likes to have another person on top of the crew who dictates."

The so-called third-party completion guarantee is the biggest guarantee for the realization of many financings of China Entertainment over the years.

A third-party insurance company will provide investors with a guarantee for the completion of the film. If there is a problem with the production company or crew, the insurance company will bear corresponding responsibilities.

Therefore, before the filming starts, the insurance company will even analyze each scene of the film one by one, and formulate strict restrictions, not this or that.

As soon as the filming starts, there will be an eyeliner-like out-of-control alert representative stationed on the set to monitor every move of the crew at all times, and if any danger approaches, he will immediately nip it in the bud.

Unless it was unlucky enough that the insurance company couldn't bear it like Dunhuang did in the past three years, with a third-party completion guarantee for a film project, it can generally guarantee that the film will be fully produced.

This is of course a good thing for investors, but for creators such as directors, this restraint is simply your sister...

Takuma Ito was satisfied when he heard the words, but glanced at Wang Wei whose face seemed to be getting colder, and waved his hands again and again: "I understand, geniuses don't always like to be restrained."

He had no doubt that Wang Wei had this temper.

What's the point of throwing a face now, this is a fierce man who is so angry that even the media dares to directly criticize him, and then let the media collectively be deflated!
Moreover, as a rising star director in Huaguo, he may be a big boss of China Entertainment in the future. It's too late for Takuma Ito to please him, so how dare he have an opinion?
Of course, it doesn't seem suitable to please for now, so let's get to the point.

"I still have this opinion. The [-]% return on investment is too low." Ito Takuma emphasized again.

He still chose an investment plan independent of the film project, that is, to provide funds to Dunhuang in the form of fixed-yield bonds.

This plan means that regardless of the success or failure of the film project produced by Dunhuang, they can get a stable income.

Of course, low risk and low return, Dunhuang is only willing to give a stable return of [-]%.

Eight percent is indeed not high, but Wang Chuanqi refused to let go easily.

He directly threw out a piece of data: "This is an authoritative report. Many overseas film funds invest in China Entertainment Films. The rate of return reaching [-]% is considered a relatively high level of profitability."

Takuma Ito knows without looking at the analysis that this data is true.

Wasn't the overall rate of return of his investment fund in China Entertainment's two phases of investment almost negative?

Thinking like this in my head, Ito Takuma said something completely different: "But if it is this rate of return, why don't I choose other industries? In fact, we have never lacked investment opportunities, and the film industry is only one of our choices. "

Wang Chuanqi was not moved at all.

Having experienced a round of failure in investing in China Entertainment, but still sitting here and talking, it means that the film industry is the choice they are most interested in, or even the only choice.

Yes, it is certainly possible to obtain higher returns by investing in other industries, but which one is less risky than the film industry?
The other party just wants to strive for higher returns, which is understandable to the investor, but Wang Chuanqi cannot easily accept it.

Of course, [-]% is not his bottom line, but he hopes that the two parties will establish a long-term cooperative relationship.

Now we are talking about the first phase, and there will be a second, third, and even fourth phase in the future... In this case, every percentage point increase will involve several million yuan or even tens of millions of yuan.

The two sides have thus entered a state of tug-of-war negotiation, and every tenth of a percentage point has to be debated.

And the sullen Wang Wei, standing on the scene, perfectly played the role of the black face.

Whenever the island country refused to make concessions, Wang Chuanqi would look at Wang Wei and remind them that this already displeased master was not only a director, but also the big boss of Dunhuang... Be careful that he was even more displeased. Take two shots.

Ito Takuma couldn't be said to be threatened like this, but Wang Weimo's emotional gaze still gave him a lot of pressure.

Especially the other two "fat sheep" who were still queuing up in the hotel reminded him all the time that he might not really be the most ideal financial backer in Wang Wei's mind.

Naturally, such negotiations cannot be concluded in just a few days, but Wang Chuanqi slowly took the initiative in the negotiations.

But Wang Wei only had black lines on his face.

If Dunhuang wants to achieve rapid development, it is essential to attract foreign capital.

For a movie, even if it is a blockbuster, it takes several years from project investment to recovery of funds. This is doomed that no studio can grow completely with its own funds.

In order to avoid some of the risks brought by the five major studios, it is impossible for Dunhuang to raise public funds rashly to expand its shares, or to absorb domestic financial capital.

The best option is overseas funds that have little interference with Dunhuang.

This time, Lao Wang also learned the lesson of "being trapped in money laundering" before, not all overseas funds are always welcome.

The fundraising channels of these overseas investment delegations can be verified, and they have considerable strength in their own countries. They can raise funds for the second and third phases to facilitate long-term cooperation.

Wang Wei understands why children can't be tied to wolves.

Moreover, he can smile very sincerely when he is rushed to give money.

However, Lao Wang has an idea——

Even if we want money, we have to ask for money with a high profile!

How to show a high profile?

Arranging several investment representatives together to disrupt their mood is one of them.

Then in the negotiation, one person will be a bad face, and the other will be a bad face, which increases their pressure, and the second is the second.

Wang Wei's cold face is a set of rhetoric for the islanders who choose the fixed income investment model;
And for the Indians who choose to share the income from investing in the movie profits, he has another set of rhetoric——

"It's like this. I plan to use the drama version of "Genius Gunner" as the first project of financing cooperation. To be safe, I brought him in as the producer of the series. He felt that it affected him to start a new film, and he was upset. !"

Looking at Wang Wei's blunt and stern face, the Indian investment representative thought to himself that his displeasure was not only due to overqualification, but also because he wanted to distribute a project that was destined to succeed.

Thinking of this, the Indians laughed like a flower: "We feel your sincerity!"

Wang Wei: "..."

I played a bad face in the film crew, and I also played a bad face in business negotiations, but it was actually quite good?
I dare to pretend to be a professional householder, right?

MMP, someone must be jealous of my good looks!
