Chapter 103: Pulling Investment (Part 2)
Chapter 103: Qin Xuebing almost choked King Hua Tian, 600 million to 700 million, who dares to play such a big game in the domestic entertainment industry? Director Lao Zhang played a big game, invested 600 million, and recovered 610 million yuan in the domestic box office, but the 610 million yuan was deducted from the theater commission, and the investment quota almost lost his pants. Who dares to play like this now?
Not counting overseas box office, films with an investment of 600 million yuan will have to get at least 1.3 billion to recover their costs, but how big is the domestic box office market? Even Avatar, which is popular all over the world, is this number? Can domestic films still make movies that make movie fans crazy than Avatar?
It can be said that if an investment of 600 million yuan is basically impossible to recover the cost in China. If the overseas box office fails, losses will become inevitable. No one will be so stupid that he still does it even though he knows it is a loss.
King Hua Tian explained, then smiled bitterly: "Brother, movies are art, but they are also commodities. No one can do money-loss transactions, and it doesn't make any sense to make a money-loss film."
"Isn't there still an overseas box office?" Qin Xuebing didn't know about the movies, but he also knew that there were several movies that achieved good results overseas, and the heroes directed by Lao Zhang achieved remarkable results overseas.
"But think about it, has there been a movie that has been successful overseas in recent years?" Hua Tianwang smiled bitterly. Now domestic movies can only rely on local box office support, and the overseas market has been dominated by Hollywood.
"But in recent years, have you sent a good movie? Blockbusters." Qin Xuebing asked back. There are many good movies with low-cost movies, but they are not competitive overseas.
"This..." Hua Tianwang was speechless and had to admit that there has been no successful blockbuster in recent years. He starred in himself and has been successful in the box office, but he has to admit that he is lower than Hollywood in terms of level.
Since it is lower than Hollywood, how can it be successful? Overseas movie fans are not fools. If you have better videos to watch, why buy your account?
What's even more ridiculous is that there are many directors and actors who shout that overseas audiences reject Chinese films, but never think about the level of their own films. Typically speaking, they don't do human affairs.
It is certain that Chinese films are excluded overseas, but this does not mean that Chinese films can no longer succeed overseas. Otherwise, why would there be successful examples? After all, it is because they are not strong in their internal strength and cannot produce videos of the corresponding level.
Of course, this is also because domestic films start slowly, especially blockbusters. Knowing that director Lao Zhang’s heroes were released, the curtain was opened for filming.
"But the key is that the domestic production level is indeed limited." King Hua Tian sighed. Although many people are unwilling to admit it, the facts are facts.
"Don't you want to make a movie that can go to the world?" Qin Xuebing bewitched. He would never agree to his treasure hunting experience being shot by others to make money, and then be scolded by movie fans, and in the end his reputation was even slandered.
In his opinion, if you want to shoot, you have to make a good shot and make it a classic. Only in this way can you be worthy of the batch of cultural relics worth tens of billions.
"Who doesn't want to be a bastard." Hua Tianwang was not angry. He was the most Chinese-language filmmaker. Who wouldn't want to make a movie that could go to the world? On the one hand, it promotes Chinese culture, and on the other hand, it became famous internationally, standing at the peak of the international community.
"That's all." Qin Xuebing said with a smile.
"But I don't have that much money." King Hua became more and more angry. Even if he was selling well, he could not afford 600 million yuan, let alone investing in a video that was very likely to lose money with 600 million yuan.
"You can invest if you don't have money."
"I...I find it is very easy to get angry when talking to you guys." King Hua Tian saw that this guy was determined to make a super blockbuster, but the key is that is, is it that easy to shoot a super blockbuster?
When attracting investment, investors are not fools. Even though they know it is a loss-making business, who will still play it with money? Unless you can see that this video has the potential to succeed overseas and have room for profit, they cannot guarantee their capital, otherwise investors would rather put their money in the bank and earn interest.
"Don't be angry, drink first, and then talk about it after drinking." Qin Xuebing smiled and knew that he was anxious and did not have to make a movie.
"Dry a bottle first and reduce the fire."
After drinking a bottle of ice beer, King Hua felt his anger subsided: "Brother, to be honest, the treasure was unearthed, and it was a hot topic. If you invest in a movie, you can save a lot of publicity costs and achieve the best publicity effect by taking advantage of this craze. But the box office market is limited. If you invest 300 million to 400 million, you can get 600 to 700 million… Even if I have confidence, no investors are willing to interfere.”
"What if there are investors?" Qin Xuebing asked back.
"If you can get investment, I will do it with you." King Hua Tian patted the table. If there was such an opportunity, he would be willing to fight. With his box office appeal and the charm of the treasure itself, even if he lost money, he would not lose too much.
But once you succeed, you can go higher and further internationally.
"Drink first, I'll take you to meet someone tomorrow, and he has a way to attract investment." Qin Xuebing immediately thought of Ouyang Zhanjun. This guy's business involves the entertainment industry. If Ouyang Zhanjun can be convinced, there should be no problem in investment.
Yi said that Mr. Qin and Qin Xiaoxiao were going to visit Zhao Yong in the hospital. Qin Xuebing held two little foxes and took Xiao Hei to go out. Looking at the military Hummer, he was speechless: "No, you have to learn the car quickly. You can't put it on rust."
Qin Xuebing walked to the side of the road to stop the car, but when the taxi driver saw Xiao Hei's huge body, he ran away without saying a word on the accelerator, for fear of being brought to him. In response, Qin Xuebing was helpless and could only call Ouyang Zhanjun: "Brother Ouyang San, come to my house and find you if you have any good things."
"Did you get good things from those treasures and think of your third brother?" Ouyang Zhanjun's eyes lit up. He was quite jealous of the six top-level jade jewelry.
"Those are small things, and if there are better things to come to you." Qin Xuebing naturally would not say it directly, otherwise Ouyang Zhanjun would definitely not do it. In fact, let alone Ouyang Zhanjun, even after he analyzed his surname, he found it very difficult. After all, making movies is not an easy task.
"Okay, you guys wait first, I'll be there soon." Ouyang Zhanjun cut off the call and walked towards the parking lot happily.
Qin Xuebing called King Hua again, and the other party asked first: "Is your old man at home?"
"I'm out, why?" Qin Xuebing was a little confused.
"That's good, I'm afraid I'll be kicked out again." King Hua Tian breathed a sigh of relief, cut off the call, and ran to the parking lot quickly.
"Has he been driven out by his grandfather?" Qin Xuebing was dizzy and thought to himself that the old man was indeed an old man, and the other party was a superstar. Just kicked out like this, it was awesome!
Not long after, Ouyang Zhanjun arrived first, looking impatient: "I heard from that girl Zi Jing say, you got a fine brother kiln, take it out and take it out."
But unfortunately, his voice was too loud and he was clamored by Xiao Hei. The black guy suddenly stood up and roared at Ouyang Zhanjun, which scared Ouyang Zhanjun: "Xiao Qin, stop this guy quickly. Damn, where did you find it?"
"Xiao Hei, he is my friend. You are not allowed to be rude and come over and say hello."
Qin Xuebing said hurriedly, but Xiao Hei seemed to dislike Ouyang Zhanjun very much. He shook his head and lay on the ground, just ignoring others.
Qin Xuebing also felt funny about this: "Brother Ouyang, it seems that you are not favored by Xiao Hei."
"I want him to stay away."
Ouyang Zhanjun was not angry. He had seen many military dogs, but he had never seen them like this one before. It would be better to provoke them less: "Don't be too slow, take out the Ge Kiln and enjoy the pleasure of seeing them."
Qin Xuebing returned to his room, opened the safe, and took out the small bowl of Ge Kiln. Ouyang Zhanjun was amazed as soon as he got started: "What about opening the door? How about handing it over to the third brother?"
"Brother Ouyang San, can you stop robbing like that?" Qin Xuebing was not angry. This is a Ge kiln. There are only more than a hundred pieces in the world, most of which are still in the museum. If they are sold, they will not know that they can collect them again in the Year of the Monkey and Horse Month.
"Then why did you call me over? You said you had something good to come to me." Ouyang Zhanjun was not angry and was so happy.
"Of course there is a good thing."
Qin Xuebing was about to say it when the doorbell rang and hurried to open the door: "Good things are coming, you must know each other."
"King Huatian?" Ouyang Zhanjun was stunned for a moment. There was no one in China who didn't know King Huatian. As an investor, he also participated in the blockbusters starring King Huatian in the past two years.
"Mr. Ouyang?" King Hua Tian was also stunned. As an insider, he didn't know much about Ouyang Zhanjun, but he vaguely knew that this Ouyang San Shao was very wise. If he was willing to mix in, it would be really not difficult to get an investment of 600 million to 700 million yuan.
"So you all know each other, so I'll save the introduction."
Qin Xuebing smiled and said, "Brother Ouyang San, now you should guess why I came to you, right?"
"You want to make a movie?"
Seeing King Hua Tian appear, Ouyang Zhanjun vaguely guessed: "And it's a movie about this treasure hunt?"
"That's right, what's going on, right?" Qin Xuebing asked.
"I have a big fuck. You can get stuck by the review level." Ouyang Zhanjun rolled his eyes suddenly. The unearthed treasure is a current matter, and not everyone can take pictures. It doesn't matter much, and you don't even have to think about it.
"That's why I'm looking for you."
Qin Xuebing flattered without a trace: "And this matter is so popular that as long as the quality of the movie is not bad, you will definitely not lose money."
"This is true. If you invest 100 million or 200 million, it will turn back and turn it into 300 million or 400 million. It is indeed a big deal." Ouyang Zhanjun has been fighting in the mall for so many years and has been able to succeed. In addition to some family relationships, his keen business acumen is the key.
"Brother Third, you are too petty, aren't you? You can just play. Only 700 million or 80 million will cause trouble. If you don't have enough money, I'll lend you 100 million."
Qin Xuebing patted his chest, actually trying to inspire Ouyang Zhanjun, but he didn't expect Ouyang Zhanjun to give him a thriller: "Get out, when I was rolling in the mall, you were still in elementary school, and you actually used the provocation method on me, unless you can give me a reasonable reason to make money."
