Yang Wancheng was the first to stand up without hesitation: "This film is also related to the future direction of our Hong Kong Kung Fu films! Let me first make a guarantee. Regardless of early publicity, mid-term promotion, and post-maintenance, as long as I can be used, no matter what the outcome, Money comes from people or effort, and I will cooperate unconditionally!"
Although he does not have an entertainment company under his name, as a pure investor, Pan Asia CEO Luo Weixing is obviously not willing to be left behind.
He said with a smile: "I only invest money, but compared to you who can also invest in distribution channels and human support, my proportion in the future can allow any concessions, but I cannot share the same proportion of dividends as you. This is inappropriate! "
Zhou Changhuai of Jiahe Pictures did not stand up to speak, but the smile on his face was obvious: "It is rare that Mr. Luo, who has always been shrewd and calculating, has taken the initiative to give in. Let me also talk about my attitude! In addition to similar promises to Boss Yang , in addition, we will bear all the expenses required by Mr. Liu during the four series, including the free use of private jets and yachts and being on call at any time!"
Everyone else smiled and said nothing. This film was full of plans. Apart from normal investment and distribution, there were basically only some trivial matters left.
If this person makes a promise, he can only start with the follow-up part, and his intention is very obvious, which is to bind the right to participate in the next three parts.
In addition to Jiahe Pictures, this person also has other businesses, such as air and sea transportation, real estate development, etc.
On the contrary, his layout in the entertainment industry is more about the filming of TV series.
As for the development of the film industry, apart from the good cooperation with Chen Long, there are actually not many famous works.
Unlike Boss Yang, Qinghuang's career focus is on the film industry. He not only has a large number of star resources in his hands, but also has experience in distributing hundreds of famous films.
Therefore, Zhou Changhuai was unable to provide more support related to the entertainment industry, and could only find other ways to make other promises.
Liu Qingshan spoke immediately: "My main responsibility is production. I don't want to have the leading role in the next three films!"
He shut up after saying this, waiting for other people's replies.
If the most basic conditions are not met, he will not make further commitments.
The reason is also simple. Having the right to produce is equivalent to taking the initiative. Even if the benefits are distributed more, this point cannot be touched.
He cares more about overall career development than making money, and the basis for better development is the control of his works.
Only by excluding his favorite works can his career develop. For someone like him who has the ability to predict, this is an eternal truth.
Among the few people, the one who has the main say is Mr. Han. Who gives him the power to review and approve all cultural works.
At this point, Wandao and Xiangjiang are relatively independent special zones, which are different from the mainland market and also fall within the scope of overseas markets.
The other three people looked at each other a few times and nodded in unison.
Mr. Han then smiled and said to Liu Qingshan: "Your request is established. At least we here have recognized it. Do you want to sign another agreement?"
Liu
Qingshan shook his head and smiled: "That's not the case. In addition to business dealings, we also have a foundation of personal friendship. On this point, I still fully trust these brothers."
Then his smile faded, "In terms of production, I can't say anything. Everything will be done in accordance with market standards. Except for the right of first choice in the selection of certain key actors, any other conditions can be negotiated." Come on!"
This need not be said too lightly, and several key casting choices represent only a small fraction of the real stakeholders.
As long as he said that all other aspects can be discussed, those sitting here would have nothing to worry about.
He went on to say: "Even for the series, according to my plan, it is step-by-step. For example, in terms of the lineup, I adopt a step-by-step approach. Besides, you may also be able to see that I asked Brother Dabao to get involved in advance.
Come in to prepare for the plot of the second part! "
When he said this, Boss Yang couldn't help but interjected: "Well, several of us have analyzed this issue. Regarding the advance expenditures of the Ye family, Dabao and others, there are also It can be seen that you have carefully considered it!”
"Yes," Liu Qingshan explained with a smile, "The Hong Kong factor is the central issue that cannot be avoided in this series. Historically, Master Ye also went overseas from there. And the launch of this series, in addition to profit reasons , and how to ensure the international status of Xiangjiang Kung Fu movies, have you thought about it?"
It was Boss Yang who responded first: "There is no doubt that you have an irreplaceable position in the industry in Hong Kong. At some point, if you stand up and say something, it may be more effective than a local snake like me!"
"What's more important is that Boss Yang, a local snake, won't be unhappy because of this, because Mr. Liu's intentions are public rather than private, and it is a good thing that is beneficial to the entire Xiangjiang Pictures!" Zhou Changhuai added with a smile.
Boss Yang nodded, "It is precisely because you have no selfish motives that you have gained such widespread support from Xiangjiang! Shanzi, tell me the truth today. If you activate Dabao and his Hongjiaban prematurely, are you harming Xiangjiang?" Are there far-reaching plans to introduce the action design team to Hollywood?"
Liu Qingshan affirmed: "In the past, Hollywood used our action design for semi-official purposes, bypassing our actors union. My ultimate goal is actually very simple, which is to make our martial arts guidance business like Hollywood's stunt technology We will also form a complete industrial chain model, so that we can obtain the maximum benefits and effectively protect our brain drain problem!"
This time it was Zhou Changhuai who sighed: "Well, Mr. Liu's overall view is really extraordinary! Our actors' union system started too late, and was only officially established in 2001. Moreover, Xiangjiang's kung fu production team cannot be said to be unique in the world, at least it has a lot of We have a large voice, but this voice actually loses its advantage after going overseas. This must be saved!"
Mr. Han also nodded: "In creating the Ip Man series, Shanzi did not highlight his Liu family class, but borrowed the name of the Hong family class. You should understand the good intentions in it, right?"
In terms of specific sides, he still prefers Liu Qingshan's side. After all, they are all from the mainland, and his intention to speak for Liu Qingshan is obvious.
On this point, Boss Yang gave
Determined attitude: "This is one of the reasons why Shanzi responded to everything we had, including the development plan for a series of kung fu movies he helped us plan two years ago. After the meeting, many of my colleagues thought he and his snow Yu Entertainment will use this to enter the Hong Kong film market, but in fact, he has not done so for more than two years!"
"Do you know why?" Liu Qingshan knew that this was the most appropriate time to express his stance. "Both sides of the Taiwan Strait are one family, and Hong Kong's kung fu movies are its traditional advantage. Only when you stand up again will the relevant mainland markets be stimulated. This is a matter of water. The problem of tracing the roots of the source tree!"
Boss Yang cast his eyes approvingly: "It's rare that you have such a clear understanding, otherwise the two parties' participation would be like an internal fight. It's hard to say who will win and who will lose, but the serious damage to the vitality after the involution will only be cheap. Got rid of those foreigners!"
In fact, this is the case. Under the involution, competition for resources in all aspects will be compressed, and in the long run, new market conditions will be formed.
Under such a situation, the overseas market has become a fisherman's profit. Spend the least money and get the best resources.
The most sensible way is to rely on the general situation of Xiangjiang Kung Fu movies. Even Liu Jiaban, who is so powerful under Liu Qingshan, does not hesitate to hand over the honor.
Although competition in the domestic market still exists, due to intentional and effective guidance, this competition has not formed a malicious cycle, and its influence overseas has been controlled to a minimum.
There is also a reality that Liu Qingshan has to face. Xiangjiang's kung fu movies do have a very unique advantage. Decades of industrial chain building have allowed such movies to form an assembly line-like advantage starting from a small supporting role.
Emerging film industries in the Mainland, such as Snowland Entertainment, only have the conditions for high-end shooting. There is still much to learn about other details, including every link in the construction of the entire Kung Fu crew!
Even for a simple shooting angle of martial arts action, there is a big gap between the level of mainland photographers and their counterparts in Hong Kong.
If you calculate it carefully, without touching on the quality aspect, a similar shot can shorten the shooting time by a few seconds. When the various factors of the entire film are added up, there will be an obvious and huge gap.
Therefore, Liu Qingshan's choice is a wise choice and the only correct path under the control of the overall situation.
However, there are very few mainland producers who have such a clear mind as him, because more people consider using mainland teams to save money, and will not consider the Xiangjiang action team invited, and the pictures produced are more enjoyable. sex.
This is also one of the main reasons why there are so many magic dramas in the mainland film and television drama market. It seems to save a lot of production costs, but in fact the quality of the films has great flaws.
Even in Liu Qingshan's previous works, there are more or less influences from the Xiangjiang design team in the crew, because they are the most experienced in trivial details.
[In view of the general environment,
He has always been paying attention to the fundamentals of Hong Kong kung fu movies. Although he did not deliberately promote it, it was noticed by the people there.
This is also the reason why so many well-known and unknown Hong Kong actors took the initiative to help Liu Qingshan maintain the order of the filming scene during the filming of "The Big Event".
