Chapter 21 Han Sanping’s phone call
Sent Yang Wei off, and not long after, Wang Shu answered another call.
"Hello." He glanced at the unfamiliar number and chose to answer it.
“I’m Han Sanping.” A confident voice sounded on the other end of the phone.
"Hello, Director Han." Wang Shu said in a serious tone and said hello quickly.
He knew Han Sanping's voice, so he wouldn't hear it wrong.
The current vice chairman and deputy general manager of China Film Group has room for advancement and is currently very motivated.
In 2007, he will serve as chairman of China Film Group Corporation.
Absolute boss in the film industry.
"Haha." Han Sanping smiled, and then asked straight to the point, "I heard that you are going to co-produce a TV series with Guangguang?"
"Buried Alive" was purchased by China Film for 2.6 million yuan from Wang Shu and was released on March 11. The box office on the first day after the release was 1.5 million yuan. In just a few days, it grossed nearly 5 million yuan.
As the film producer and distributor, China Film Group enjoys 41% of the box office share and currently has a box office profit of almost 1.8 million.
According to estimates, the box office of "Buried Alive" can exceed 10 million, which means it can still get a box office share of nearly 1.8 million.
After deducting the distribution cost and the 2.6 million film purchase cost, China Film Group can already make a small profit through the theater box office alone.
Then, there are also distribution in various fields such as television, Internet, aviation, railway and so on.
"Uh" Wang Shu opened his mouth and responded truthfully without hiding anything: "I do have this plan, and I will make a TV series next."
"Why not make a movie?" Han Sanping was a little angry, " You just won an award in Berlin. You should be chasing after the victory when you return to China. Why are you working on a TV series? "
"Film and television industry, film and television? Circle, why is the film in front of the vision? ”
“Think about it yourself”
"Haven't you seen those TV drama actors desperately trying to squeeze into the movie industry?"
"Haven't you seen those TV drama directors dreaming of directing a movie?"
"It's good enough to be rich. , Obviously we have a good start, why did we take a detour? "
Han Sanping hates the fact that iron cannot make steel. As the deputy director of China Film Group, he has always wanted to make mainland movies bigger and stronger.
Now is the time when the film industry is reforming and commercial films are on the stage. Looking at the mainland, except for Feng Xiaogang, who is bound to Huayi, who is somewhat accomplished in commercial films, everyone else is hard to say.
The commercial film made by Zhang Yimou
The investment was huge and the scene was grand. The box office was so high compared to the investment that the producer was in tears.
Except for these older generation directors, none of the young directors are good at it.
Han Sanping feels that if this continues, if he gets a high position in the future, he will have no choice but to turn his attention to directors from Hong Kong and Taiwan.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to support mainland directors, it’s just that none of them live up to expectations!
As for Wang Shu, as a young director who can write and direct himself and won an award in Berlin, if he can make two commercial films to practice his skills first, he might be able to stand alone in the future.
When the time comes, when he takes over China Film and Television, and cooperates with Wang Shu, who can stand alone, he might be able to create a good story.
As a result, instead of making movies, this guy turned his attention to TV series.
Where did you get the mallet?
So stupid!
Facing such a big boss, Wang Shu explained in a low voice: "Director Han, I have not stopped making movies, but I plan to make both TV series and movies."
"I will make one movie first. TV series, and another award-winning film will be made around September."
"I have already written the script."
Han Sanping was stunned and suddenly asked calmly: "Fighting in Berlin again?"
In September, when he was filming an award-winning film, he knew without even thinking that he was going to Berlin. "Yes." Wang Shu quickly repeated what he had said to Guangguang's Producer Luo before, "I plan to try again."
Han Sanping was silent for a while and asked: "Did Guangguang participate in the investment?"
"25%." Wang Shu told the truth.
“Where are the rest?” Han Sanping asked, squinting.
Wang Shu said his plan: "I plan to invest in the script and director, accounting for 15%."
Before Wang Shu could continue, Han Sanping's voice rang out, "You should have made a lot of money in Berlin, right? Don't you invest money?"
Wang Shu explained bitterly: "I spent the money. I went to other places, and now I don’t have much money at all. I don’t have the capital to invest.”
At this time, Wang Shu only has about 1 million in working capital, which he needs to keep to maintain the operation of the company. .
As for the TV series jointly invested and produced by Enlight Media, not to mention that the production has not yet started, even if it is broadcast, the payment will not be so fast.
Therefore, for the award-winning film that was going to be shot in Jiuben, he simply could not come up with the funds and could only seek investment from outside.
"Ha." Han Sanping smiled and couldn't help but joked, "I thought you chose to cooperate with Guangguang in a TV series because you understood the world. It turns out that you have no money."
About how Wang Shu spends his money Once there, he didn't ask any questions.
Nowadays, all walks of life are booming, especially the Internet, which is developing rapidly, and there are many places to invest.
It’s just that investment is risky, so you need to be more cautious.
Wang Shu was a little embarrassed by these words and couldn't answer for a while.
Just listen to Han Sanping say in an unquestionable tone: "The remaining 60% will be invested by China Film Group."
"You can make a budget then and just contact me here."
"Okay." Wang Shu nodded without any hesitation.
Actually, his initial plan was to acquire Shanghai Film and Television, with the investment share divided into 30% for China Film, 30% for Shanghai Film, 25% for Guangguang, and 15% for him.
Now Han Sanping said that he would eat the remaining share in one go, but there was no one at Shanghai Film Studio. Without a suitable reason, he could not refuse Han Sanping, so he could only agree.
"What about commercial films? Do you have any plans?" After confirming the investment share of an award-winning film in a few words, Han Sanping asked again with some unfinished thoughts.
In a year or two, the person at the top will step down.
At this time, he really wanted to make some achievements.
"I have plans, but I want to hit the top three in Europe first, and then move to commercial films." Facing the future boss of China Film and Television, Wang Shu has no need to hide his inner thoughts.
Han Sanping's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he suddenly realized something, and said with a smile: "Listening to what you said, it seems that you are deliberately trying to hone yourself when filming TV series."
"It seems to be a plan to make both award-winning films and TV series."
"Haha." Wang Shu flattered, "In the end, I still couldn't hide it from Director Han's discerning eyes."
"I think you, Mr. Han, also know that I am not from a professional background. I was able to produce the film "Buried Alive" only because of my passion and talent."
"So I thought it would be better to make a TV series , hone my abilities.”
“No matter what happens in the end, it won’t ruin my reputation in the movie, right?”
"Ha, that's true." Han Sanping was happy and said with a smile, "There is a saying circulating in every crew."
"A crew can still operate normally without a director. If there are no men and women, Starring or other personnel, you have to stop.”
“Although this cannot be said to be absolutely correct, at least it makes sense.”
