It wasn't Yao Xingchen who first came to the United States, but Huawei's contracted team.Lao Zhao arrived by plane overnight and appeared at Wang Yong's residence early the next morning.The efficiency of large companies is indeed not comparable to that of ordinary companies.The process is very simple, there is no nonsense between the two parties, and as soon as you enter the door, Huawei's signing team shows the contract.Wang Yong glanced at it, there were no harsh terms, on the contrary, this contract was quite solid, and he maintained enough tolerance for Wang Yong in some details.Obviously, Huawei really values Wang Yong, and would rather suffer a loss on its own side than win a good impression on Wang Yong.Wang Yong naturally didn't say a word, picked up the pen and signed.From Lao Zhao's entry to the signing of the contract, the whole process did not take more than ten minutes, which can be described as fast.Even Lao Zhao sighed: "This is the fastest contract I have ever signed in my life" Just when Wang Yong sent off Huawei's signing team on the front foot, Yao Xingchen and Wei Ran and others appeared at the door of Wang Yong's hotel.Yao Xingchen looked at the contract thrown on the table in amazement, and said: "Big brother, you will sign it" Wang Yong asked rhetorically: "Otherwise" Yao Xingchen was a little crazy: "You wait for me to talk about the details of the contract, if there are some invisible clauses that are not explained, you will be the one who will suffer at that time" Wang Yong smiled: "What a big deal, Huawei is a big company anyway, and it will not do this kind of thing to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred."
The main purpose of calling you here is to invest in that Hollywood film company, and there is also the issue of the establishment of a new movie.Wei Ran is also an expert in this area, you discuss it with her. ”Wei Ran nodded and remained silent.And Yuan Lin and Hu Li'er, who followed behind Wei Ran, sat on the sofa as soon as they entered the door, looking curiously at this country that was different from China.Wang Yong glanced at Hu Li'er carefully, Hu Li'er didn't say a word from the moment she entered the door, but if she just looked at her complexion, she didn't have any problem, and she didn't look like an autistic person at all.She was really sick, and Wang Yong was a little suspicious."
Li'er, I'll take you to the doctor in the afternoon, okay?"
asked Wang Yong.Hu Li'er glanced at Wang Yong indifferently and shook her head slightly."
Why don't you go" Hu Li'er just shook her head and didn't speak.Seeing this, Wei Ran said, "She is also like this at home.I'm afraid that there is already some resistance to the word doctor, don't worry about this, you can wait for a while before going.What is the name of the company you want to invest in, I will make a valuation report first. ”Wei Ran, like Ziyu Fengqing, is a workaholic.I didn't drink any water as soon as I entered the door, so I had to work first.Wang Yong was familiar with Wei Ran's personality, and he was not polite, but handed some information sent by Miye to Wei Ran.Miye's company is called Sword and Stone Pictures, and it is a small company that is not well known in Hollywood.If it weren't for the luck that he had won Roland's film contract, I am afraid that he would not even be able to call it "small".Hollywood has an influx of new companies and investors every year, and then disappears the following year.This is a grinding disc center comparable to a battlefield, and manpower and money are thrown into it, and what is ground out is usually not diamonds, but blood and tears.Therefore, Ziyu Fengqing is not optimistic about Wang Yong's shareholding move."
I haven't heard of Sword and Stone Pictures," Yao Xingchen said in slight surprise.Wei Ran, on the other hand, lifted his glasses, and said while typing quickly on the computer: "This is a film company founded five years ago with a registered capital of 50 million US dollars.A total of eleven films have been produced in five years, except for a war romance film directed by Roland, the rest of the box office is less than 10 million.Even the war romance called Dawnhorn only grossed $30 million at the end of the day.Compared with Roland's worth and film investment, the loss is as high as 60 million US dollars.The company is currently valued at about $130 million, and its value lies mainly in its relatively complete film production resources and Roland's film contract. ”This is Wei Ran's preliminary valuation of Miye's company.Wang Yong invested 50 million shares and obtained 51 shares, which was indeed a concession as Miye said.It's just one thing to take a stake in a company, and it's another thing to be able to make a profit from that company.Sword Stone Pictures has made a lot of films in the past five years, but not even a blockbuster has been born.As for the only one with some fame, the Dawn Horn, it has never been introduced in China.No matter how you look at it, this kind of company looks like it will go bankrupt tomorrow.It seems unwise for Wang Yong to choose to take a stake in such a company and make a big-budget movie.Yao Xingchen persuaded with a little worry: "Why don't you think about it again" Wang Yong shook his head: "I think very clearly."
Some things have to be done, and even if they fail, it is good to leave a lesson for future generations.My goal is not to make money, I don't agree with it simply by whether it is profitable or not. ”Yao Xingchen and Wei Ran glanced at each other, both of them actually didn't understand Wang Yong's thoughts.However, the two didn't say anything more, but asked: "Then how much is the start-up capital for the movie you want to shoot?"
and "How much does a movie like The Lord of the Rings cost to shoot" Wang Yong asked."
The first Lord of the Rings cost about $90 million to shoot, but it should be noted that this was a movie from 15 years ago, and this number was not a big production in Hollywood at the time, let alone now."
Wei Ran replied.The purchasing power of $90 million 15 years ago is at least 150 million now.In other words, Wang Yong has to prepare a start-up capital of 200 million US dollars in order to be ready to make a blockbuster.You must know that some time ago, the Great Wall filmed by the well-known Chinese director Lao Mouzi had an investment cost of 1.5 billion US dollars.In the end, the box office hit the streets, losing hundreds of millions.Wang Yong's idea born of a thought is actually very dangerous, and the slightest carelessness will end up with hundreds of millions of yuan.Although Wei Ran wanted to write the word "unqualified" on this investment evaluation, she decided to take a look at Miye's film company first.After all, this is the project that Miss advises.In the past, Miss would not have taken a look at this kind of project with unknown prospects at all, but this time she unusually asked Wei Ran to come to evaluate and investigate, and she was obviously ready to pay for it.Wei Ran, as an assistant, always had to find a sufficient reason for Miss's "infatuation", not After taking Yuan Lin and Hu Lier to have an American dinner, Wang Yong and his party flew directly to Hollywood.Miye was already waiting at the airport to greet him.I drove directly to Sword Stone Pictures and took a look at the company.Even Wang Yong, who has always had confidence in Miye, was a little dumbfounded.Although I have known for a long time that Sword and Stone Pictures is not big, but this is too small, if it weren't for a sign on the door that said Sword and Stone Pictures, Wang Yong would have thought that this was the address of a leather bag company in China.While the other studios are in one building, Swordstone Pictures has only a few rented offices.And these offices are not full, and only a dozen idle employees are sitting in them chatting.Miye noticed Wang Yong's surprise and said with some embarrassment: "Because of the debt problem, many employees have left.But the people who stayed behind were all veterans who had worked in Hollywood for more than seven or eight years, and they all had a lot of work experience.As long as the film project is approved, they can immediately put into work, and they can be competent in creating, publicizing, and distributing. ”Hearing this, Wang Yong's face was slightly better.The most important thing for a film company is funding, but the creative team and publicity personnel are also indispensable, especially experienced personnel."
Everyone, stop for a moment, this is our company's partner, Mr.
Wang Yong.Welcome," said Miyechong in the office.The employees who were chatting listened to it and threw curious glances at Wang Yong."
Is Wang Yong the same Wang Yong", "It's him", "He invested in our company, isn't he a teacher, can he afford a few dollars, one million or two million, I'm afraid that even our boss can't redeem the batch of shooting instruments that were mortgaged by debts." ”"Hey, Sword Stone Pictures is completely finished.I think it's better for everyone to pack up their things and leave as soon as possible, lest they even lose their wages in the future. ”The employees were talking, and there was a burst of ridicule from time to time.But no one applauded and welcomed, let alone took the initiative to say hello.Only a black-haired Asian young man took the initiative to say hello to Wang Yong."
Hello Mr.
Wang, I'm Li from Xinjiapo.I like you a lot. ”The Asian guy introduced himself."
Hello, Xiao Li."
Wang Yong shook hands with Xiao Li."
Li Ke is a post-production genius of our Sword and Stone Pictures, and even director Roland is full of praise for him, saying that he will inevitably become a special effects master in Hollywood in the future.It's a pity that Hollywood is too senior, and Lee has never been able to get the call of those big companies.I'm actually a bit of a condescending here. ”Miye shrugged and said regretfully.However, Xiao Li was quite optimistic, waving his hand to show that he didn't care.Wang Yong glanced at Xiao Li, the post-production special effects artist who can be praised by Roland should indeed have a few brushes.In this way, Sword Stone Pictures is not nothing, and these employees can be regarded as a fortune.It's just that at present, Wang Yong needs to let these employees recognize themselves first.And the fastest way to get employees to recognize is simple, and that is money.In the face of the contempt of other employees, Wang Yong did not have the slightest sorrow, but smiled and clapped his hands, and said: "After the contract is signed, I will be everyone's new colleague."
And my colleague brought nothing else, except to pay off the company's debts, and brought a film with an initial investment of 200 million US dollars.I just heard someone say that they want to leave, and I have always been open-minded, and if you want to leave, you can submit your resignation immediately, and in addition to making up your previous salary, you will also be given a bonus of one month's salary.After all, everyone has worked for so long, and there is no credit and hard work, and now, if you want to resign, you can sign up. ”Wang Yong's voice fell for a long time, and no one came over.Everyone was dumbfounded.The film with 200 million funds is still the initial capital, where is this partner, it is simply the God of Wealth, there is such an opportunity to participate in the filming of a blockbuster, and the fool just left, so the employees who were still shouting to leave just now all shut up and did not speak.There was only a deep color of excitement and hope in his eyes.
