Chapter 336 Business Talk
【There will be another update around 12 o'clock】
I thought Lao Jia would arrange to meet at some private club, but it turned out that we had a meal at a fly restaurant.
The two of them twirled their fingers while talking about a big deal worth tens of millions. To put it bluntly, it was LeTV's second round of capital injection.
If we don't say that the Internet is a money-burning business, the last round of financing has only passed not long ago, and it has already run out of ammunition and food. This is still when LeTV focuses on the future and is not eager for quick success.
"How much capital will be injected this time?"
"The new capital injection is tentatively set at 70 million - mainly to suppress Tudou. In June, Tudou just raised 8.5 million, almost more than 66 million."
"Just tell me how much money I have to take."
"About 6 million."
Lao Jia was a little embarrassed. Last time he took the initiative to make a technical investment for Xu Kun and gave him an additional 2.5% of the shares, but this time he couldn't do it again.
"Okay."
When Xu Kun heard this amount, he was not very embarrassed. For him, it was just a matter of shooting a few advertisements.
However, this is only the end of 2006, and there should still be four or five years before LeTV goes public, so we have to keep investing like this.
"Looking at this, it will probably take several rounds, but the track is bigger than I expected. I estimate that the market value will not be low after we go public."
Lao Jia hesitated for a moment. He originally wanted to say that if Xu Kun couldn't bear it in the next few rounds, he could help lend a sum of money.
But he didn't say this in the end.
The main reason is that there are too many financial backers. If the shares are not diluted from Xu Kun, someone like Jia will have to spend real money. Even if he wants to be loyal, he will not lose money in business. The truth of shouting.
This meal of sesame snacks brought in 5.6 million yuan, which greatly stimulated Xu Kun's motivation to make money.
For the next two days, he worked hard at home to edit the film, and it was not until the 14th that he took Bao Qiang to Beijing and Taiwan again to participate in the "International Directors Filming the Imperial City" event.
When they arrived at the gate of Jingtai, Xu Kun specifically warned: "Deputy Director Jia is also going to attend this time. When the time comes, I will take the initiative to find a reason to talk to him about some personal matters and create a chance for you and Xiao Hu to be alone. Don't worry about it then." Don't be a coward.
Remember, if you really can't find a topic, just talk to her about "The Secret Heart of a Woman". Hu Fu has done a lot of homework in advance and must have paid attention to this movie that has not yet been released. ”
Baoqiang nodded vigorously and tightened his tie awkwardly.
As a result, the two of them came to Director Jia's office, only to find that in addition to Director Jia, an acquaintance was also present.
"Uncle Han?"
Xu Kun said in surprise: "Why are you here too?"
"Of course it's for director Giuseppe Tornatore." Han Sanping said with a smile: "We would like to invite Director Giuseppe to visit China Film Group and give us some valuable advice at China Film Group."
< br>
"Alas~"
After hearing what he said, Deputy Director Jia pretended to be helpless and sighed: "Mr. Han, Director Giuseppe Tornatore has a very tight schedule this time, and he also has to shoot a short landscape film. You... ugh ~”
"Haha, our China Film Group is also part of the capital."
Han Sanping smiled and said: "It just so happens that we can use the help of a major international director to promote our country's film industry - at worst, our China Film Group will also sponsor a sum of money for your promotional activities, right?"
< br>
It was impossible for Deputy Director Jia to really argue with China Film Group over this matter. Seeing that Han Sanping had given him a step, he walked down the slope and said, "It's up to you, Mr. Han, to come forward, otherwise..."
I heard that the two of them had a formal chat first, and then Han Sanping asked about "The World of Escorts" shot by Xu Kun.
When he learned that some people didn't approve of the finished film because it lacked the texture of old movies, Han Sanping couldn't help but shook his head: "It's clinging to the old and clinging to the past, and the movie channel is doing just fine with 'archaeology'."< br>
Xu Kun smiled and said nothing. He didn't have the confidence of Han Sanping. How dare he offend a movie channel with a strong background? At this time, Hu Fu, who was wearing a bright red suit, walked into the office. While nodding to everyone, he reported to Director Jia: "Director, the interview vehicle is ready. Do you see it?"
Director Jia immediately stood up and said: "Let's go together to meet this internationally renowned director."
When the group arrived downstairs, Xu Kun originally wanted to get into his car, but was stopped by Han Sanping, who said he wanted to chat with him on the way.
So Xu Kun threw the car keys to Baoqiang, then stopped Hu Dou and said, "My brother seldom drives and is not very familiar with the roads. Can you please help Hu Da to show the way?"
Upon hearing this, Baoqiang hurriedly unlocked the E280 and diligently opened the passenger door.
Director Jia also cheerfully helped.
Hu Dao hesitated for a moment, then got into the car.
Xu Kun secretly made a cheering gesture to Baoqiang, and then got into Han Sanping's Audi.
As soon as I sat down, I heard Han Sanping joke: "The commercial you shot for Mercedes-Benz was very well received, but the plot was a little too gaudy."
"It's both vulgar and elegant."
Xu Kun laughed and said: "Currently, most of the rich people are still the reckless generation, and they like this tone. Of course, if others ask about this, I will definitely say that they are lustful and have too many lustful thoughts."
"Haha~"
Han Sanping laughed: "In business, this is the right attitude. Don't imitate certain directors. Opening and shutting up is art. We film workers still have to serve the ordinary people first, and then Improve the connotation on this basis.
If we lose the foundation and engage in highbrow things all day long, apart from winning a few trophies to show our face, what benefit will it bring to the country and the industry? ”
Xu Kun didn't agree 100% with this, but he didn't mean to argue with Han Sanping.
After a few vague words, Han Sanping asked again: "I heard that you are already preparing for your next movie? And is it a big production?"
I don’t know who stabbed Han Sanping in front of him.
Xu Kun said cautiously: "Actually, I just have an idea. My main focus now is to cooperate with Director Feng to film "Assembly". Other things will have to wait until next year."
"Then tell me what you think first."
Xu Kun had no choice but to repeat his ideas about the new movie again. Although it was a bit tedious, he also found that it was not completely useless. Every time he reorganized it, new ideas would emerge.
After Han Sanping heard Xu Kun's thoughts, he said "ok" twice, and then suddenly fell silent.
Just when Xu Kun was confused, he said slowly: "Actually, the country is a little unsure about the situation in Thailand - although the military government said it is not targeting us, but what are the specifics... You may have something to do with this matter. It can be used to test the attitude of the military government
In this way, if you give me the contact information of Chen Xuebin and Li Yixiang, if the superiors deem it necessary, they will naturally contact them. ”
"This..."
Xu Kun felt his scalp numb. Just now he said that he wanted to discuss business in business, but now he turned around and got involved in the diplomatic relations between the two countries.
He just wanted to make a movie to promote the deeds of the old hero and make some money and fame. How could it be related to national events?
Will Lao Chen and Brother Li become cannon fodder?
"Don't worry."
Seeing Xu Kun's anxiety, Han Sanping smiled and said: "If the higher-ups agree, they will definitely try their best to ensure your safety. And at this level, as long as cooperation can be reached, your new movie will be made like a fish in water."
Xu Kun would rather not be so comfortable, but Han Sanping didn't give him a chance to refuse, so he had no choice but to accept it.
Feng Daocheng won’t bully me!
If you want to make a good movie in the country, you will inevitably have to deal with these things.
