Broken chapter?
Can the affairs of scholars be called fragments?
I keep writing chapters, can you guys take me so seriously?
Looking at the expectant eyes of the group, Lu Hao coughed lightly and said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, do you have any questions?"
Jiang Qianfan: ...
Others: ...
I am completely speechless.
But on second thought, a script like this is actually equivalent to a trade secret, especially such an excellent story, produced by Lu Hao himself, it would be strange if it doesn't sell well.
"We at Qilin Films want this script."
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Qianfan immediately said in a deep voice, meaning that he wanted Lu Hao to name a price. Just based on the outline of the story Lu Hao had just said, Jiang Qianfan had already figured out a lot of things in his mind.
This story, whether it is the setting, structure, details or core selling points, is quite eye-catching. It has the appearance of an art film, but the details in the story are full of exciting points, especially "the protagonist stays on the boat for his whole life and refuses to get off", which has a bit of philosophical meaning and makes people think deeply.
No matter how bad a story like this is, it can't be that bad. The bottom line is there.
What's more, would Lu Hao write a story about a business trip?
The overall structure is so perfect and delicate, not to mention the control over details.
"Of course. This 100-film overseas expansion plan was originally prepared for everyone. However, in principle, in order to monitor the quality of the films and to share the costs among everyone, DreamWorks must invest at least one-third of each film, and the number of shareholders cannot exceed three. If there are other funding issues, we will introduce national project support funds as a supplement."
Lu Hao laid out the rules of the game.
They can make the movie, but DreamWorks must own a stake, at least one-third.
To put it bluntly, everyone here is trash...oh no, just a wage earner.
But even if it is just working, it is a win-win situation.
With DreamWorks' capital and scripts, and other companies' capital and manpower to carry out the specific film shooting, and supplemented by the national project support fund, this three-pronged approach has completely revitalized the game.
As for limiting the number of shareholders investing in the same film to no more than three, Lu Hao has also seriously considered it.
One is to avoid wrangling. With so many investors, the voices are inevitably mixed, and if anything goes wrong, everyone will try to pass the buck.
The second is to defeat them one by one. These 100 movies are not a big pot meal where everyone eats together, but a buffet. Everyone should focus on the meat in their own bowl and not worry about others'.
As for what’s in the pot, it’s all from DreamWorks.
If you want to eat, you have to be obedient and behave yourself.
Of course, there is also a competition issue involved here. When cooperating with other companies, they will first come up with a movie to test the waters, and everyone will benefit equally. If the project is good, more resources will be allocated to it. If it is not so good, or something goes wrong, then sorry, please get out of here.
In this way, the overall situation is under control.
Everyone present was smart. When they heard Lu Hao's words at this moment, they were deeply shocked. Their feelings were even more complicated than when they were competing for the national project support fund just now.
Lu Hao's ideas and ambitions are clearly laid out on the table, and anyone with a little intelligence can see it.
But, can I refuse?
This is a classic "prisoner's dilemma" problem in game theory.
The so-called prisoner's dilemma is that in a group, the most rational choice made by an individual for himself is often not the best result for the team.
There are a total of ten families present, and Lu Hao has a lot of room to defeat them one by one.
Even ten families cannot trust each other.
Even if I choose not to cooperate with Lu Hao, there will naturally be others to make up for it.
Not to mention, this is just a first-tier film and television company.
There are still a large number of second-tier and third-tier companies below... With DreamWorks' strength, if it really wants to lower itself to find its younger brothers, the situation will be even worse.
"I completely agree with Mr. Lu's terms. I wish you all a happy cooperation in advance. I'll reserve this film, 'The Legend of 1900'."
Jiang Qianfan made the final decision with a smile. He was of course aware of the connections involved, but there was nothing he could do. Lu Hao had the upper hand now, so he might as well just follow the boss peacefully and make plans when he had the chance in the future.
After spending most of his life in the business world, Jiang Qianfan has become an old fox. He has a very clear judgment of complex situations and decisively makes the most advantageous choice for himself under the current circumstances.
Lu Hao glanced around and looked at the others to see if they had any opinions.
If it can be auctioned, that would naturally be the best.
However, no one obviously meant that.
The script is good, but it doesn't have to be that serious. Everyone present is a decent person and would not fight to the point of bleeding for a mere piece of meat.
Besides, Jiang Qianfan is not someone to be trifled with.
How could it be so easy to snatch food from a wolf's mouth?
"Okay, then it's settled. I'll discuss it with Mr. Jiang later."
After looking around and seeing no one stepping forward, Lu Hao nodded and agreed.
"If you're interested in other films, you can always contact me. My office door is always open to everyone. Now let's move on to the next topic."
Having discussed this topic here, there is nothing more to say at the meeting. Each party must weigh and consider the pros and cons, and no matter how much further we discuss it, nothing will come to fruition.
Lu Hao’s grasp of the situation, people’s hearts, and rhythm cannot be said to be perfect, but he has reached a considerable level.
"Wait a minute, I want to say a few words."
At this time, Cai Aiguo suddenly spoke, his face looked a little dark, and he spoke in a muffled voice.
"DreamWorks has come up with so many scripts at once. Even if every one of them is a masterpiece, is that really a good thing? The film market is so large, and with so many films, it's bound to create a squeeze effect, squeezing out the already limited space for other films."
"Besides, everyone knows that 95 percent of the movies produced each year are garbage, and only the remaining 5 percent can make money."
"But it's those 95 percent of rubbish movies that support so many people in the industry. Not everyone has Mr. Lu's talent for writing good scripts, but they also need jobs, food, and a family. I admit that the law of business is the survival of the fittest, but considering the overall national situation, this year's market conditions are already poor. If the unemployment rate in the film and television industry is too high, the consequences will be quite serious."
I have to say that Cai Aiguo's remarks were very insightful, worthy of him as the head of a state-owned enterprise. Of course, he has his own ideas both in public and in private.
Lu Hao just shook his head and smiled.
"Mr. Cai, don't be anxious..."
“That’s exactly what I want to talk about next.”
