Chapter 510: If you don't succeed, you will become benevolent
80_80813 Yang Huan sat in the conference room, and his mind kept circling the speeches of the filmmakers just now.
From Huang Jianxin to Xu Ke to Chen Guofu, followed by Wang Jing, Chen Kexin, Xu Zheng, Xing Ye and others also expressed their opinions one after another, and all expressed some of their personal feelings about Chinese movies.
Obviously, from their bodies, Yang Huan felt a sense of resentment.
Perhaps, as filmmakers, their love for movies is sincere, but the cruel reality of the environment forces them to compromise between ideals and reality.
Even Huayi Pictures, which claims to be the most professionally managed in China, is still difficult to be satisfied.
But ordinary fans don't care about this, once they encounter a bad movie, no matter what they do, they will directly scold the director and the leading actor, but they don't know that they are all unlucky back-offs!
No wonder they're angry!
Thinking of this, Yang Huan suddenly smiled.
It's a good thing to have resentment, which proves that they still have a breath in their hearts!
If they don't hold grudges, it's disappointing because they're fully integrated into the market!
Young Master Huan's laughter was very abrupt in this silent conference room.
I saw him stand up directly, nodding his head incessantly, and saying three or four good words in a row.
"You've all said it well, very well!"
Young Master Huan praised loudly, and then asked rhetorically.
"Then I want to ask you, if money is not a problem, then do you have the confidence and courage to accompany me to fight against the tigers of Hollywood?"
Everyone present was stunned!
What does this mean?
Could it be that Young Master Huan is saying that he wants to invest in their movies according to Hollywood standards?
If so, that's crazy, right?
"Young Master Huan, you know this is unrealistic!"
The others are nothing, but Zhang Qiang, the CEO who has only been in office for a year, has some opinions.
"Why?" Yang Huan asked again.
There is a specialization in the art industry, which is the concept that he has always believed in.
And he has always believed that as long as money can solve the problem, it is not a problem!
Zhang Qiang thought about it, sorted out his thoughts, and considered his words.
"Master Huan, the investment of more than 100 million US dollars in Hollywood commercial films is converted into RMB, which is more than 600 million, okay, even if you consider the gap between domestic labor costs and Hollywood, even if it is 400 million, this is the cost!"
"According to the investment of 400 million, the box office must be at least 1 billion to protect the capital, but so far, among the domestic films with a box office of more than 1 billion, there is only one big dark horse that has broken love for 33 days!"
Zhang Qiang's analysis can be described as reasonable.
Wang Fatzi couldn't help nodding when he heard it, "In the final analysis, the domestic film market is still small, and the commercial films made in the United States make money all over the world, plus DVD and TV station copyrights, as well as other peripherals, the box office is not the main source of income for them." ”
"But in our Chinese films, the box office is almost the only profit point, but the movie box office is difficult to say, no matter where it is, even in Hollywood, there will be a lot of good movies every year that become box office cannon fodder, so in our country, the bigger the investment, the higher the risk, and reasonable people choose to stay away!"
Wang Jing's words made many people present smile helplessly from the bottom of their hearts.
Although if this word spreads, fans may not like to hear it, but it is a big truth.
Chinese movies really can't afford such a big-scale movie!
Look at this year's Jinling Thirteen Hairpins, although the cost of 600 million is exaggerated, but at least there must be about 400 million, right?
As a result, it has bumped into 600 million, and there is almost no overseas market, so it is almost certain that this time it is a big loss!
Who knows, before everyone finished laughing, Young Master Huan laughed louder than them.
"Sanity?" Young Master Huan shook his head very disdainfully, "I personally think that is cowardice!" ”
Cowardly?
Everyone present was stunned for a moment, and some even felt blushing involuntarily.
It seems that Young Master Huan's cowardice is talking about him!
"If each of us doesn't have the courage to take this step, and everyone carefully guards their duties, afraid of taking risks, and dare not take responsibility, then you sue me, what is the future of Chinese films?"
In the face of Young Master Huan's questioning, everyone present was silent.
"It reminds me of a man, James Cameron!"
Yang Huan smiled slightly, "From the Terminator to the Titanic to the Avatar, he has broken through the limits of Hollywood again and again, from the investment budget to the use of technology, he has shocked people again and again, is it that when he makes these movies, there is no risk at all?" ”
"I don't think so, there are definitely risks, big and small problems, but what I want to say is that his determination and courage are worthy of our learning and admiration!"
"I think that as domestic filmmakers, we should be more generous, don't be obsessed with the slightest gain or loss, making movies is like doing revolution, and if we embark on this road, don't think about turning back, break the boat, if we don't succeed, we will become benevolent!"
"Our film market is getting bigger and bigger, and even the entire Asian region is our potential box office market, if we fail once, we will shoot the second time, and if we fail twice, we will shoot the third time, I believe that as long as we have the determination and belief to strive for excellence and make good movies, then we will eventually succeed, and our films will go abroad and go to the world!"
When he said this, Yang Huan had already stood up, looked at everyone in front of him with firm eyes, and said a sonorous promise.
"I, Yang Huan, said here today, as long as you are willing to shoot, then I dare to vote!"
The whole conference room suddenly fell silent!
All the filmmakers were stunned!
They were all completely shocked by Young Master Huan's words!
It's not just about deep pockets, is it?
Young Master Huan's approach, I'm afraid it's hard to describe it as an investor!
He made it clear that Miracle Pictures only wants to do a good job in every movie with his heart, and only welcomes all like-minded friends!
As for whether the movie loses money, Master Huan doesn't care at all!
With hundreds of millions a year, he can afford to lose!
…………
…………
Yang Huan's courage and determination, as well as his commitment, successfully convinced everyone present.
They are all senior elites in the Chinese film industry, and immediately with the encouragement of Young Master Huan, they began to actively express their opinions.
From the reform of the professional management model of Miracle Pictures, to the various matters of the crew, some people even recommended the like-minded or talented professionals they admire very much on weekdays.
I have to say that although the domestic film and television industry is very chaotic and disorderly, full of all kinds of people, and even some scumbags with low moral character, there are also a group of talented people who really love movies, are full of enthusiasm, and hope to contribute to Chinese films.
Therefore, Yang Huan also decided to bring this group of people together to form a force!
The discussion atmosphere of the whole meeting was very warm, everyone expressed their opinions, expressed their own ideas and opinions, and even in the end, by the atmosphere of infection and edification, everyone began to give each other opinions.
For example, Huang Jianxin proposed that the investment of Miracle Pictures should have a certain proportion of planning in the future.
That is to say, a fixed investment in several large systems, how many medium systems, and how many small cost systems are fixed every year.
Among them, the medium zuò is the most critical!
Because the middle system is the field that trains professionals the most!
There is also Chen Guofu, who proposed that the Hollywood model should be adopted and the producer should be the center to form a film project.
And he believes that Xu Ke, Wang Jing, Chen Kexin and others are all quite potential producers.
It was from Chen Guofu's mouth that Yang Huan knew that he was the producer of Xu Ke's most peak movies.
For example, the director of the hero's true colors and bloody heroes is Wu Yusen, the director of Xiaoao Jianghu and A Chinese Ghost Story is Cheng Xiaodong, and the director of Longmen Inn is Li Huimin.
And Wang Jing's most successful period was precisely the period when he was a producer.
In fact, the current domestic film market is also centered on producers, but producers are often concurrently served by directors.
But considering that the creative energy of people like Xu Ke and Wang Jing is not as good as before, their control of the rules of commercial films and the overall quality of movies is still quite good.
Therefore, it is undoubtedly a very good solution for them to be the producers, and then to be the directors by the creative energetic people.
As for the position of producer unique to the Chinese film industry, to put it bluntly, it is a producer who has no financial power.
Perhaps because the atmosphere of the on-site discussion was very good, Xu Ke humbly accepted Chen Guofu's construction, and even sent an invitation in turn, hoping to serve as the producer of the ghost blowing lantern with Chen Guofu after the filming of outwitting Weihu Mountain, and jointly plan this project.
Chen Kexin said that he was not yet of that age and still had a strong desire to create, so he planned to personally take charge of the director of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and Huang Jianxin was his producer.
The latter is also the producer of Outwitting Tiger Mountain!
And Xing Ye said that if the box office of Journey to the West sells well, he invited Xu Kelai to be the producer of Journey to the West and Demons II, and he himself served as the producer and was jointly responsible for the project.
Wang Jing was also said to be proud, and directly said that he would serve as a producer in the new film Las Vegas, and then invited Liu Weiqiang, one of his friends in the Iron Triangle of Infernal Affairs, to serve as a producer and support newcomers to become directors.
Yang Huan saw this group of people crackling over there, making a mess of all the projects, and suddenly smiled bitterly.
But he could feel that everyone present had re-energized their passion and spark for creation in this chaotic state of discussion, which was undoubtedly a very good phenomenon.
Film is inherently a kind of inspiration, which requires their passion and spark, and so many senior filmmakers get together to discuss, which can often burst out a steady stream of creative inspiration.
Not only them, but Zhang Qiang, who is in charge of administrative management, also led people from various departments to discuss the issue of corporate management reform and reorganization.
After all, if you want to change to a producer-centric system, you have to keep up with a lot of things, and you have to be professional.
And they are different from this group of filmmakers who don't have to think about the cost at all, they have to be responsible for and check Young Master Huan's investment.
At the very least, when Young Master Huan asked, how much should I invest, they had to be able to come up with a number, right?
So, they started to talk about it.
It may be that this big discussion came too suddenly, and it was so enjoyable that everyone present forgot to stop.
It wasn't until about eight o'clock in the evening that many people's stomachs rumbled.
At this time, everyone laughed out loud.
I only care about the discussion, and I forget the time!
Each of them still looks like they can't get enough of it!
"Let's go, the revolving restaurant of Pangu Hotel, I'll treat you, let's get there, eat and chat!"
As soon as Yang Huan clapped the board, everyone immediately applauded in unison.
A group of people rushed out of the conference room, and the movement directly scared the front desk lady who stayed to work overtime.
At the same time, Su Jingyan, who was still waiting in Yang Huan's office, was alarmed.
It was only at this time that Yang Huan remembered that his senior sister was still waiting for his interview!
"Let's go, let's eat together, and we'll talk after eating!" Yang Huan smiled and sent out the invitation.
Su Jingyan pursed her lips helplessly, and could only agree.
