Chapter 1213 Various Thoughts (Part 2)
While surprised, Zhao Xiangbei was also emotional again. Guo Tailai told him on the phone that he didn't plan to make money back, but according to his plan, he couldn't lose much. From what Zhao Xiangbei learned about some Hollywood production income, he also believed this, it was nothing more than a longer payment cycle.
But it's different now. Some people are chasing after sponsorship, and some are chasing and wanting to invest. In other words, if Guo Tailai was more ruthless and operated better, he might be able to operate a large project worth 500 million US dollars without paying all the capital himself.
How much can Mr. Han invest? To be honest, Mr. Han himself understands that it is impossible to invest much. Although hundreds of millions of RMB is already a big deal in China, it is only a few tenths of that insignificant in front of such a super project.
But Mr. Han had to invest. He has a special status and more connections. He also learned a little bit of vague information from other sources. It seems that James' latest racing blockbuster may still be invested by domestic funds. Now Mr. Han is a little bit on the wax. Domestic funds invest in Hollywood blockbusters, and it has nothing to do with him. Isn't this awkward?
If this blockbuster is successful, of course, the possibility of success is extremely high, because the director is James. If it succeeds, but it has nothing to do with Mr. Han, I'm afraid this will be a very serious statement in the future. You Mr. Han can't even control domestic commercial investment? Such a good investment project has nothing to do with state-owned assets?
Of course, if this investment fails, the impact on Mr. Han will be relatively small. But the problem is, the possibility of success is extremely high! Mr. Han also had to think about the risks involved. Faced with this situation, he could only find Zhao Xiangbei who knew the situation best. However, if you want to participate in the investment, you still have to take risks. If the project fails, it is also a taint.
Therefore, Mr. Han could only approach Zhao Xiangbei through his relationship to ask some specific inside information, hoping to know more.
In fact, over the past few days, whether Hollywood or domestic, they have slowly figured out the taste. James wants to shoot a racing movie, so suddenly, so inexplicably, and it seems that he is not short of money, is it related to his good friend Mr. T?
Everyone knows that Mr. T and James have a very good relationship and are good friends who created the deep diving record together. Moreover, Mr. T himself is an excellent car designer and has designed many super sports cars. Is this racing movie related to Mr. T? No one dares to invest in James, but Mr. T is rich!
Everyone is guessing, but no one is sure. On the contrary, the executives in Hollywood's film and television industry are very enthusiastic. If Mr. T invests, then they will definitely try to release it. As for those top first-line stars, they are even more eager to move. A big production, James' work, Mr. T's investment, this combination, many people want to try to join!
Of course, there are similar speculations in China, but many celebrities only regret it at this time. They knew about Mr. T's miracles early on, so why didn't they think about getting acquainted earlier? If you don’t burn incense in your spare time, you can hug the Buddha’s feet in a hurry. The problem is that you can’t hug the Buddha’s feet even if you are in a hurry!
Of course, it's not that they didn't want to find Guo Tailai before, the problem is that they couldn't find anyone to recommend! The real big cows, Mr. Ding and Mr. Cheng, are generally out of touch with those in the film and television industry. Those in the entertainment industry, as everyone knows now, are Tian Fei and Li Li, a singer and an actress, and no one can force them to introduce them. And the attitudes of the two are very consistent. Neither of them can spend enough money now, so they are not qualified to recommend at all.
Mr. Han also knew that Zhao Xiangbei and Mr. T had an extraordinary relationship through other relationships, so he came to him sincerely.
"If you talk about investment, it's really not that much." Mr. Han also smiled wryly, and what he said was true, Zhao Xiangbei must understand: "Compared with the overall production and distribution costs, even if we invest hundreds of millions here It’s just a drizzle. I’m actually here to express an attitude. I mean, I’m investing five million dollars. I don’t want to do anything, let alone get involved in the production. But if the filming is completed, we will release it in China. It could help."
Zhao Xiangbei nodded. He is also a member of the system, and he is very clear about the mysteries and arguments involved. However, understanding is understanding, but Zhao Xiangbei has no intention of helping Guo Tailai decide, he can only be a sounding board in this matter, and some things have to be said in front, so as not to misunderstand Mr. Han.
"Whether they will accept the investment or not, I don't dare to guarantee it. I can only mention it for you. I don't know what the specific result will be." Zhao Xiangbei also brought some ugly words to the front: "In addition, this investment Whether it will make money or not is also not guaranteed. This film is plainly a promotional film, so it is not aimed at making money, so if you lose all your money at that time, you have to think about the risk in advance, Mr. Han. Five million is in this project Although it’s not much, it’s more than 40 million RMB, which is not a small amount of money.”
"Naturally!" Mr. Han beamed with joy when he heard Zhao Xiangbei's words. As long as Zhao Xiangbei is willing to help, this is a big favor, so I have to write it down.
From the beginning to the end, Mr. Han never mentioned that he wanted to stuff people into the crew, and he probably knew that this project was definitely not a domestic operation method. These domestic habits would not work outside.
Therefore, Guo Tailai quickly received a call from his father-in-law, talking about the investment Mr. Han wanted. Zhao Xiangbei also knew that Guo Tailai might not understand the twists and turns, so he specially explained to him that Mr. Han Huaying's side was a little bit official, and he didn't want to intervene to seize power. of.
From Zhao Xiangbei's heart, he hoped that Guo Tailai could accept Mr. Han's investment, which would be of great benefit to the domestic distribution in the future. As long as there is such a small amount of official investment, many things, including imports and arranging film arrangements, will be of great benefit at that time.
"Uncle." Guo Tailai did not refuse Zhao Xiangbei's painstaking efforts, and thanked him for his consideration of himself: "Of course I welcome the investment and not intervene in the management. There is one point that must be made clear to others. I can’t guarantee that this film will be profitable. Just as I said, it will take a relatively long period to pay back. As long as they don’t realize that this is a problem, I definitely welcome it! I’m also comfortable with taking up a little less of my funds. what!"
"Okay!" Zhao Xiangbei also let out a deep breath in his heart: "Then I will help you to ask again and again. If Mr. Han really insists, then accept it."
Putting down the phone, Guo Tailai didn't think there was any problem with it. There are many cases of foreign filmmakers working together, isn't it just to spread the cost and share the risk? Since I have accepted Mr. Han's investment, I might as well bring a few more!
"Uncle Wang, I, Fatty." Guo Tailai changed hands and called the Coal Boss investor recommended by actress Li Li. This is also an old customer who supported Guo Tailai's business from the time when Guo Tailai did not make a fortune: "My side There is a movie project, I don't know if you are interested in it."
