Chapter 457: Can't Keep Up
“There is one project, but…”
Taking out cigars worth thousands of dollars from his pocket, Feng Jiming slowly lit up a cigar halfway through his speech.
"But what?"
After hearing what Feng Jiming had said halfway, someone eagerly added a sentence without waiting for the president and the elders to speak.
Although the yacht club is a small organization, its structure is very loose and everyone gets together because of some hobbies.
The daily rules are mostly to judge status by family background, but there is not much difference between people.
Therefore, the saying that no one dares to interrupt before the president speaks does not exist at all.
"However, this cycle is a bit long and the investment is a bit large."
Feng Jiming felt very happy to have such a suitable partner.
He attended this party today not just to show off.
"What project? How much investment? How long does it take?"
Hu Zhidong asked without getting annoyed at all because someone interrupted him.
"A large-scale project to revitalize domestic animation will take 3 to 5 years and cost about 200 million yuan. If anyone here is interested, I can give up 100 million yuan of my share."
Feng Jiming said with a smile, tapping his cigar.
When he came here earlier, he had chatted with several shareholders in the TT group.
Domestic animation projects require large investments and long cycles, and can easily fool these second-generation people who are stupid and have a lot of money into paying their money.
As for a project worth 100 million being blown up to 200 million, there is absolutely no problem with that.
Feng Jiming is not so low-minded as to cheat these second-generation people of their money. He has his own way of doing things with 100 million yuan and 200 million yuan.
Having been in charge of Blue Whale Entertainment for nearly two years, Feng Jiming knows one thing: whether it is filming a TV series or making a movie, it will never be a disadvantage to strive for excellence.
Anyway, the project made money, and they would get a share of the 50% profit. They also made a contribution to the revitalization of Chinese animation, which is better than being cheated by those fake directors.
By the way, he can also improve his status in the yacht club, which will facilitate his future development.
"3 to 5 years? 200 million?"
After listening to Feng Jiming’s talk about the project, everyone present was a little confused.
Although they were all from wealthy families with plenty of money and pocket money counted in hundreds of thousands, they were shocked when they heard about a movie project worth hundreds of millions.
Before, the largest film project they were involved in was only worth 20 million.
We are not stupid. For a film project with no definite prospects, at most we would invest a few hundred thousand dollars for fun. No one would have the courage to spend all their pocket money on it.
If the money goes to waste, you will be left with nothing for a period of time, let alone a cycle of 3 to 5 years.
I can’t keep up. I can’t keep up.
"Old Feng, is this a project of your Blue Whale Entertainment?"
After taking a puff of cigarette, Huang Qin, a veteran, asked a seemingly redundant question.
"Yes, but we at Blue Whale Entertainment only invested half, and Huaman Film and Television also participated."
Feng Jiming did not hide this aspect.
Now that Xinlan Film and Television has determined the direction of the project and directly changed its name to Huaman Film and Television, its ambition is obvious.
If the people present do not participate, he will not lose anything.
"Then I'll invest 30 million, but the money won't be in place for two days, and I need to sell some stocks."
After getting Feng Jiming's confirmation, Huang Qin directly called out a price, which surprised many of the young second-generations in the room.
You know, when it came to investing in film and television projects in the past, the most active person was Chairman Hu Zhidong. As a veteran, Huang Qin would only invest a few million at most, and he focused on industrial projects.
This yacht club is sought after by many young second-generations, not just to spend money to enter the film and television industry, but also to share resources and win some industrial projects with large investments.
When an industrial project is successful, everyone makes a lot of money.
Therefore, even though every movie project invested in the yacht club loses money, people still flock to it, and the standards for admission are getting higher and higher.
"I'll invest 30 million, too."
Listening to the whispers of the crowd, Hu Zhidong looked at Lao Huang meaningfully and added the same investment.
The rapid rise of Blue Whale Entertainment in such a short period of time has attracted a lot of research, and those who are interested will naturally understand some of the tricks.
The Huang family is already one of the top five families in Hangzhou, but they have reached a bottleneck if they want to go further.
Huang Qin dared to raise the bet so much, perhaps he wanted to get closer to that person.
For Hu Zhidong, who lives near Shanghai, this relationship is also necessary.
Sometimes, for these second-generation kids, money is not the first priority.
"I'll invest 2 million."
Seeing the two elders being so magnanimous, some people with insight followed suit.
Follow the boss and you will never go without soup.
“I’ll invest 5 million.”
“I’ll invest 3 million.”
“I’ll invest 1 million.”
Just as Feng Jiming was facing many second-generation guys showing off with high spirits, Zhou Anan looked at the chubby girl in front of him who looked somewhat pitiful, and didn't know what to do with her.
Zhou Anan didn't expect that instead of seeing all the celebrity girls who were obscure in her previous life, she saw a girl whom she had met once before.
The niece of Zhang Tao, the manager of Jiangnanli Bar, is Zhang Hanyi, the runner-up of the first "Ultimate Goddess" who has entered the top eight of The Voice of China.
"The company didn't arrange it for you?"
The other party's explanation left Zhou Anan speechless.
I actually listened to some friend's advice and came here to try my luck and look for an opportunity to enter the film and television industry.
Is this girl with baby fat out of her mind? Wasn’t she cheated enough by her previous agency?
Or, has the IQ grown to the wrong place?
Is this the reason for her outstanding figure?
"No, the company said that they would arrange something for me after I made it to the semi-finals. I haven't even arranged an agent yet, so I was a little anxious and wanted to try my luck here."
Seeing the big boss who changed his destiny, Zhang Hanyi felt embarrassed with a red face.
After signing with Blue Whale Entertainment, the company has not made clear arrangements for her, nor has it arranged for an agent to manage her, which made Zhang Hanyi a little anxious as she had wasted several years of her best time.
A female artist’s golden years only last a few years. She has already wasted a lot of her youth and can’t afford to waste any more.
As the Voice of China competition progressed, the opponents became stronger and stronger, and the competition became more brutal. Zhang Hanyi, who once won the second place in Ultimate Goddess, could not guarantee what position she could get.
The company has limited resources but many artists under it. It is impossible to spend too many resources on an outdated 18th-tier artist like her. She has to find opportunities for herself.
During a Voice of China competition, she heard a teammate talk about the reputation of this yacht club. Knowing that there were many opportunities to enter the film and television industry here, she came here to try it out.
After all, Zhu Yiqi, who is now successful in both television and movies, is one of the most successful examples.
Anyway, it doesn't take up the company's resources. If she gets a role based on her own opportunities, the company will definitely support her.
What Zhang Hanyi didn't expect was that everything was different from what she knew.
There are indeed many people who come here to try their luck, but they are all graduates from art schools and people in the modeling industry. After asking around, Zhang Hanyi realized that she was too naive.
In the three years since the yacht club was founded, the most famous person who really encountered an opportunity here is Zhu Yiqi, and she met an agent from Blue Whale Entertainment, with whom she was signed.
The rest are people hovering between the 18th and 4th lines. They were just lucky and the movies they participated in won awards at some niche film festivals abroad, but they themselves have no development prospects at all.
Zhang Hanyi, who originally wanted to back out, was met by the big boss from last time.
Luck, it seems, is a bit bad.
"Go back. I'll say hello for you and assign you two roles to try out."
Zhou Anan was speechless when he didn't expect that the other party's capital would not do so well in his own company. After all, he seldom interfered in the company's specific affairs.
Last time, I asked Miss Wang for help to resolve the other party’s agency contract, and by the way, I signed him with Blue Whale Entertainment. Zhou Anan didn’t say hello specifically.
In Zhou Anan's opinion, with Zhang Hanyi's background and her popularity as the second place in Ultimate Goddess in the past two years, the company should make some arrangements.
Now it seems that Zhou Anan feels that she has ignored the cruelty of the entertainment industry.
There is definitely no such thing as suppressing newcomers in his company. It can only be said that Zhang Hanyi's popularity has passed and the company is considering how to invest resources in her.
It doesn’t matter much if Zhou Anan says a few words on this point over the phone.
Anyway, no matter who the resources are assigned to, it will make money for the company.
If Zhang Tao's niece is really hopeless, then it's not his fault.
"Can I stay with you tonight?"
With a cute chubby baby face, Zhang Hanyi held her hands to her heart and asked pitifully.
