In the reception area of ??Peter Pan's office in Xinyu, Yuan Qiaoqiao is sitting in the main seat, and Peter Pan, the owner of the office, is sitting next to him, holding several folders in his hand and reporting work to her.
Listening to him chattering about how much he made from investing in this movie and how much he lost from investing in that movie, Yuan Qiaoqiao looked at the profit statement in his hand and knew that the overall profit was enough, so he interrupted him impatiently. , "Stop it, do you also listen to your subordinates' work reports in such detail?"
"That's not possible. I'm a boss and I'm very busy. If I have to deal with everything, then why would I invite so many employees back?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Peter Pan looked at the folder in his hand, then at the folder in her hand, smiled awkwardly, closed the files in his hand, and said with a smile: "It's me ¡¡±
Yuan Qiaoqiao had no intention of listening to his self-examination. She put the folder in her hand on the table and asked what she was most concerned about: "The company's strongest business is its production and distribution capabilities. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Lan Yu" These two films have received very good responses after being released in North America and Europe. Can the company use this to open up business in these two places?"
Peter Pan stood up and took out a business card from the business card holder on his desk to show it to Yuan Qiaoqiao, "Over in Europe, I have reached a cooperative relationship with Mr. Lauren Dutron, the vice president of the French mk2 film company.
France's mk2 Film Company owns the third-largest theater chain in France. It has been a very firm supporter of artistic films for decades and has never compromised. It is also extremely supportive of Chinese-language films. It has maintained a close relationship with Taiwanese literary film directors such as Hou Hsiao-hsien and Yang Dechang. A good cooperative relationship, and later Xiangjiang¡¯s Sunglasses King also joined it
Before cooperating with us, it always cooperated with literary film directors. So far, Xinyu is the only film company that Xiangjiang has reached cooperation with. Moreover, our cooperation is not a one-time deal, it is long-term, and it provides us with Literary films use an agency sharing method to cooperate, with a high degree of freedom and great sincerity. "
Yuan Qiaoqiao corrected him with a smile, "It shouldn't be the only film company that has cooperated with it, right? Since Sunglasses King has cooperated with it, then Zedong Company under the name of Director Wang should have cooperated with mk2?"
"That's different. Zedong Company basically only serves the King of Sunglasses, so mk2 is equivalent to only cooperating with the King of Sunglasses. However, our film company invests in artistic films from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places, with a large number of directors."
Seeing the arrogance and pride in his words, Yuan Qiaoqiao smiled and continued to ask: "What about North America?"
When it comes to North America, Peter Pan frowned and said with some distress: "The seven major film and television giants in Hollywood have a serious monopoly, and they are not very interested in our artistic films, and they are not very interested in our Asian films, such as our We have a special preference for national Kung Fu films and Japanese horror films, so so far, only film producers have come to negotiate with us when they encounter films that they are interested in. As for long-term cooperation, no one has such intention."
Yuan Qiaoqiao was not surprised by this, and said with a smile: "Hollywood's xenophobia is invisible. In their hearts, their movies are the best in the world, and movies from other countries are just a change of taste." Porridge and side dishes, so they don¡¯t welcome movies from other countries to enter, which I had expected.
However, you can't get into the mainstream side, but you can try to go eccentric. There are many Chinese districts in various cities in the United States similar to Los Angeles' Chinatown. The Chinese living there still have a sense of identity with their own culture, so you can consider it. The distribution of Chinese-language films in those places. "
"Are you planning to build cinema lines in those areas?" Peter Pan thought for a while and shook his head, "The investment amount is too large, the return rate is not high, and the prospects are not clear. I think you should consider it carefully, Danla."
"You are thinking too much. Even if this thing is to be done, it will not be Xinyu's turn to take the lead. Not to mention that if this thing is really to be done, it cannot be bypassed by North American film and television companies. Even in Xiangjiang, we Xinyu cannot be ranked. Number.
¡°Besides, when I acquired Xinyu, I really wanted to do something for filmmakers and literary films who love movies, but I haven¡¯t reached this level yet. "
If this thing is done well, it will leave a name in film history. Judging from what Yuan Qiaoqiao said to him when he acquired Xinyu, Peter Pan felt that she was really likely to do such a thing. of.
But he is not optimistic about it, because this project will either fail, or even if it does succeed, it will be a large investment with a low return rate, and it is a long-term operation. It may take several years or even longer to see a return, so it is not cost-effective. .
Although he owns a film company, he is not very interested in movies and only regards them as a money-making tool.
As an ordinary businessman, he really has no noble feelings. To be honest, after hearing what Yuan Qiaoqiao said when she acquired Xinyu, he was very fond of her at that time.He came to see it as a fool. Therefore, his idea is very simple, which is to make money within the laws and regulations allowed by the country. Others, such as dreams and the future of movies, have nothing to do with him.
Therefore, he is really afraid that Yuan Qiaoqiao will be confused and fill this big hole. If that is the case, he may break up with her by then.
But without Yuan Qiaoqiao as a partner, given the current film market situation in Xiangjiang, he is unable to survive alone. He doesn't want to end up with the same fate as before when the company went bankrupt and was sold. He is afraid that he will have to find another collaborator, but as rich and willing as she is, It¡¯s hard to find a partner who gives you full authority.
Therefore, after hearing what she said, Peter Pan breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved. He stood up and took a folder from his desk and handed it to Yuan Qiaoqiao, "This is because the company has started to discuss cooperation, or I am planning to collaborate on some film and television projects, and I think the roles in them are suitable for you"
Yuan Qiaoqiao didn¡¯t even look at it, but pushed it back, ¡°I won¡¯t watch it, otherwise, if I fall in love with the role and end up not being able to star in it, I will regret it to death.
"But Sister Kuan is helping me win the leading role in a commercial movie directed by Yu Ya. If you can find the strength, please help her. If you can't, forget it. Don't force it. "
Although she said she wouldn't force it, Pan Peter felt that he had to get this done somehow. But things in the industry were changing rapidly, and he didn't dare to take over everything now. He just smiled and agreed, "I knew."
Suddenly remembering something, he hurriedly said: "By the way, in addition to investing in some movies, the company has also invested in some TV series at your request. Among them, some artists from Sanse TV want to go north to film, but in the mainland, they are not familiar with the place. , afraid of being cheated.
So after knowing that Xinyu has a lot of business dealings with the mainland, some artists have asked Xinyu to represent them in their brokerage business in the mainland. What do you think about this? "
Thinking of the Mainland's admiration for Xiangjiang artists during this period, Yuan Qiaoqiao smiled and said: "What can I think? If my legs are on them, won't they not go if I don't let them go? Even if Xinyu doesn't come forward, he won't go." There will be other film and television companies or agents to do this.
¡°Besides, I¡¯m not involved in management, so it¡¯s up to you to make the decision, as long as you think Xinyu can handle it. "
Thinking about the virtues of Hong Kong and Taiwan artists who later went to the mainland to develop, she sincerely suggested: "But I think if Xinyu plans to develop the artist management business, then it should carefully screen the artists, like the kind of people who take care of others. I was eating from a bowl, but I didn¡¯t show any sign of gratitude. Instead, I scolded my mother before the bowl was put down, and I was determined not to sit on a crooked buttocks.
Not only do we not help such artists negotiate for mainland entertainment career resources, but they should also be kicked out of any Hong Kong and Taiwan film and television dramas that involve Xinyu. "
After hearing what she said, Peter Pan thought that she had said similar words when she had just acquired Xinyu. He couldn't help but laugh and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I understand, I will pay attention to this aspect."
Looking at the smile on his face, Yuan Qiaoqiao asked with some dissatisfaction: "Why are you smiling? Am I right? I don't ask for a red heart to face the sun, but I think I have the most basic understanding of my identity. Knowing and understanding which country you are from, isn¡¯t this the most basic quality of being a human being?¡±
Peter Pan put away his smile, "I didn't say what you said was wrong. I just didn't expect that you had this attitude when you acquired Xinyu. After so long, it didn't change at all."
¡°At this point, it¡¯s impossible to change in a lifetime.¡±
After a pause, Yuan Qiaoqiao continued: "By the way, if possible, I hope that these artists who want to develop their acting careers in the mainland can learn Mandarin well, and eventually they can speak their lines in Mandarin.
Although there is dubbing in filming now, it is just like when I come to Hong Kong to film, or the artists in Hong Kong go to Hollywood to develop their careers and speak English. This is the quality and attitude of being an actor. "
She became angry when she thought of the many Hong Kong and Taiwan artists who had been filming in the Mainland for nearly 20 years, but whose Mandarin was still so bad that they had to find dubbing actors in the later period. "In this place, artists from Hong Kong know that they need to learn English when they go to Hollywood. Artists from Taiwan, like Shu Qi and others who come to Hong Kong to develop, also know that they need to learn Cantonese. However, when they come to the mainland, they don't remember to learn Mandarin well.
Don¡¯t use the inability to learn Mandarin as an excuse. If the country comes up with a regulation that requires artists who cannot learn Mandarin and artists who cannot speak their own lines to be allowed to develop in the industry, let¡¯s see if they can still learn it?
When it comes to their jobs and money bags, there is no doubt that those artists who speak broken Mandarin or have a Taiwanese accent will definitely disappear. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
