Chapter 502: Investing in French Directors: The First Step in European and American Layout
"Hello, can we chat for a minute?"
When the cocktail party was halfway through, Su Yang found an opportunity and came to Bal and said with a smile. Bal was stunned when he saw Su Yang. Su Yang had just been introduced to a lot by Kent, and Bal also got to know Su Yang from some of his words.
A famous Chinese director, and also a super-rich man. Just these two identities made Bal feel that he was out of his league. Now that Su Yang took the initiative to talk to him, Bal was a little flattered.
"Hello……"
Bal quickly stretched out his hand and shook hands with Su Yang.
"I heard you're trying to raise money for your new movie."
Su Yang asked with a smile.
"Yes, yes, sir, are you willing to invest in my new movie? I have been preparing for a long time, and it will definitely be a success this time."
Bal said quickly, looking at Su Yang expectantly. After hearing Bal's words, Su Yang smiled slightly.
"Sorry, I'm not interested in investing in your new movie."
Su Yang said directly, and the smile on Bal's face instantly disappeared. The hope that had just risen in his heart was extinguished again.
"But if you're willing to come to my company and film the script I give you, I definitely won't let you worry about funding. As for your dream, maybe in a few years someone will beg to pay for it."
Su Yang's next words stunned Bal.
"Let me introduce myself again. My name is Su Yang, and I'm the project director of Qingyao Media. I'm also a shareholder of Qingyao Media. This is our business card. Don't rush to refuse. Consider it seriously."
Su Yang simply handed his personal brand to Bal, then turned and left to blend back into the circle. Su Yang's fluent language skills and strong communication skills left a deep impression on many people. This time, Su Yang also had his initial contact with the small circle in Europe.
The cocktail party ended successfully and Su Yang gained a lot.
"Why are you interested in that French director?"
On the way back to the hotel, Qin Shuyao asked curiously.
"I looked up that director, and he's quite capable. If Qingyao Media wants to go global, we need talent like him. I've just written a few scripts recently, so I'll give it a try. Who knows, there might be some surprises."
Su Yang's words made Qin Shuyao laugh, but she didn't ask any more questions. Qin Shuyao basically didn't worry about the company's affairs. Tang Qing was in charge of the company's overall operations, and Su Yang was in charge of the company's various projects. She was just a rich lady, enjoying life every day.
Su Yang and Qin Shuyao returned to their residence, while Bal left the party disappointed. He still hadn't secured investment tonight, and the failure of several consecutive films had already left Bal with a bad reputation in the industry.
Returning to his rental apartment and looking around, Bal knew that if he couldn't attract investment and make any money, he might be evicted. Don't assume directors are rich; even without money, they can still be evicted by the landlord, especially in Bal's industry. Art films don't make much money to begin with. With fame, you can still make some money, but without it, it's not surprising to end up homeless.
When he returned home, Bal suddenly remembered the business card Su Yang gave him.
He took out the business card, then turned on his computer and started searching for information about Su Yang. When the information popped up, Bal's eyes widened.
As Bal read each piece of information, his mood gradually improved. There was so much news, and all the information combined told Bal one thing: Su Yang was super awesome, and Qingyao Media was super awesome.
Super director, super screenwriter, super rich, looking at Su Yang's series of titles and then looking at Su Yang's age, Bal thought of himself.
Bal used to be very proud, believing himself to be exceptional. Even now, despite his downfall, he still considered himself a man dedicated to art. He simply lacked investment. Bal even looked down on directors of commercial films, believing they were too obsessed with money.
But now, after reading Su Yang's introduction, Bal was shocked. He couldn't imagine how a young man in his twenties could be so talented and achieve so much.
Any one of the achievements here is enough to defeat Baal.
Hot, Bal's eyes became hot.
Looking at Su Yang's business card, Bal remembered Su Yang's words. Su Yang's meaning was very clear. He wanted Bal to join his company and then shoot the script provided by the company, and the funds were sufficient.
Thinking about my current situation, I don't think I can get investment. After all, I have already asked countless people for help.
Now, Su Yang's sudden appearance gave Bal an opportunity.
Isn't it just working? Earn money first, then it's okay to invest it yourself when you have enough money.
Thinking of this, Bal took out his phone and called Su Yang. Although Bal was willing to dedicate himself to art, when art couldn't make him eat, Bal still had to consider the issue of bread first. If he didn't find a job, he might not even be able to pay the rent.
"Hello, is this Mr. Su Yang? Hello, I'm Bal..."
In the hotel, Su Yang received a call from Bal with a smile on his face. After a brief conversation with Bal and an agreement to meet at the hotel tomorrow to discuss in detail, Su Yang hung up the phone.
Bal was a leisurely move, and even if I lost money, it wouldn't be much. But if it succeeded, it would be like Qingyao Media gaining another tool in Europe and the United States.
Qingyao Media could also open a European branch in the future. Expanding branches all over the world has always been Qingyao Media's expansion strategy.
Qingyao Media currently has a branch in Thailand and a joint venture in South Korea. In the future, it plans to establish branches or joint ventures in Europe, North America, Japan, and even India.
How could Qingyao Media give up on the huge market in Europe and the United States?
Qingyao Media has been preparing for this for a long time. Whether it is "Kung Fu Panda", the company's currently busy zombie series, or its own "Game of Thrones", they are all preparing for the European and American markets.
Now recruiting Bal here can be regarded as the first formal step.
Thinking of this, Su Yang directly opened the folder on his computer and found a script.
Looking at the script, Su Yang smiled slightly, and then began to translate the script into French.
Originally, this script was copied from a French movie, and now that it has been handed over to Barr to shoot, there is no sense of incongruity at all.
In Su Yang's opinion, this movie is a very good movie. As for this movie, Su Yang does not expect it to make much money.
This film is the first step to establish Barr's and his own fame in Europe and America. Only with that fame can he embark on a series of subsequent actions. As for Barr's art films, haha, sometimes art can be hidden in the heart.
