Kevin Thomas was really frightened. Thanks to Ye Wei's psychological warfare and lawyer Salton's professionalism and efficiency, the matter progressed very quickly. By that night, the two parties were drafting an agreement. They're all signed, and Kevin Thomas is at his mercy.
20% of the shares were transferred for US$1, Ye Haogen was compensated US$500,01, resigned, the dividend clause of "The Wedding is Coming" was cancelled, and other investors were notified
Weiduo Image is a limited partnership. To put it simply, the company has two types of partners. One is the limited partner, which provides funds and assumes limited liability. The loss will not exceed the amount of its investment, but has no responsibility to manage the company's affairs. power; and the other is the general partner, who holds management rights.
The original share structure of the company was as follows. Ye Haogen, who initially invested 1.5 million, held 55% of the shares, and Kevin Thomas held 20% with production fees. The other five limited partners invested a total of 500,000, each with a total investment of 500,000. 100,000 people, each holding 5% of the company's shares.
Later, Ye Haogen made another capital injection of 300,000 to cover the film's distribution costs. The company's shares changed to 58%, 20%, and 4.4% each.
Now, there is only one general partner left, and it is Ye Haogen who holds 78% of the shares. So what happens next in "The Wedding is Coming" depends entirely on the wishes of the Ye family, or in other words, Ye Wei's wishes. .
After these two days of ups and downs, Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao understood that their son had really changed, for the better, and he said that he "has always been a hidden genius, but now it is necessary to reveal it." The two of them were dubious, but they were still very pleased.
They were willing to listen to their son's ideas. In fact, they had already discussed it as early as last night when they made the plan.
In addition to the compensation, there is still about 100,000 left in the company's account, and the funds to be used for the issuance are their previous capital injections.
Ye Wei wants to terminate all distribution of "Wedding Day is Coming", such as the stock trading stop loss, and all self-funded screenings in the three theaters are cancelled. Although the copy money, posters and other publicity expenses have been spent, and some liquidated damages have to be compensated, but he can get With a return of more than 20,000 yuan, the film can still maintain its reputation as a blank piece of paper.
In this case, a total of more than 600,000 yuan can be obtained, of which 500,000 yuan is in their private account. The family will not be so strapped and can slowly pay off the 1.5 million yuan debt.
As for how to clean up the mess of "The Wedding is Coming", Ye Wei also had an idea.
"Let's not think about selling the copyright. There is no attractive star among its cast and crew, and the quality is too poor, so it can't be sold for much money, and it would be a huge loss if it were sold off. We can find it based on the existing footage. A version that is more suitable for its market positioning, re-editing, maybe some re-shooting, some re-recording of dialogue, and re-sounding, make a version as good as possible, and then participate in film festivals that don't cost money, and get started Famous, sell it for a good price. You know, I don't mind taking over these affairs."
It was already dark, and in the bright and spacious hall of the Ye family, Ye Wei was detailing his plan to his parents.
Because we had just won a great victory, although the road ahead was still full of difficulties, the atmosphere was quite peaceful. Although the fire of hope was swaying, it was not extinguished.
"Actually, I have been studying film for a long time, and I am capable enough to handle this task." Ye Wei said very confidently. This is not bragging. The teaching at USC is really not good.
Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao exclaimed in unison, showing helpless smiles. Do they believe it or not? It is true that my son has learned everything, but he is only interested in everything for three minutes, and it seems that he has no ability and after all, he is only a child under 16 years old.
"You can go to school with peace of mind, and your father and I will handle the company's affairs." Gu Qiao made a reasonable decision.
"Yes." Ye Haogen nodded in agreement.
Ye Wei frowned. He already had a good plan for how to remake "Wedding Day is Coming", "Actually, I'm thinking about whether I should drop out of school"
"No, of course not!" Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao were so shocked that they almost jumped up and dropped out of school! ? How is this different from suicide?
They felt like they heard him say, "I'm going to destroy myself because you are rubbish parents who can't afford your children's education and your family." The growth and education of their children is more important than their lives! Regardless of traditional thinking, everything is good. Go to school, you must go to school!
Even if he is really a genius, he still needs to go to school. Going to school is not just about learning textbook knowledge! At his age, he should be enjoying his youth on campus, playing around with friends, pursuing girls and going to college! How could they let their son live a life without going to college
"Wei!" Ye Haogen's face turned red with excitement, "You must not think like that! Dad and mom will take care of the money problem."??You just go to school, you must not¡±
His expression was ugly, and Gu Qiao didn't notice it because he was in a hurry, "Yes, your father is right, you have to go back to school tomorrow!"
"Dad, Mom, calm down, I'm just kidding!" Ye Wei said quickly. He was scared when he saw his dad getting emotional, "Just kidding!"
The couple immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It was just a joke
Ye Wei smiled and did not insist on this idea. How could he still not understand his parents' wishes? If he had not put on his bachelor's uniform and thrown up his bachelor's hat, they would have never been happy in their lives. And he also wants to continue going to school, but he just said that family is the most important thing, and for the happiness of his family, he can give up everything if necessary.
But it¡¯s not to that extent now. He said seriously: ¡°I can go to school, and I can also be busy with movies. I can handle it at the same time.¡±
"You still said." Gu Qiao glared at him, "You don't have to worry about those debts. It's okay. Mom has gone to work. Find a cheaper daycare to take care of Duoduo."
Hearing this, a scene suddenly appeared in Ye Wei's mind. It was the haggard face of his mother in the dream who became ill due to overwork. He said anxiously: "Mom, no nursery can give maternal love. Duoduo needs your care! Believe me, I can take care of that debt."
"You guys, stop talking. I can handle the current situation by myself. I just need to stay at the clinic for more of the day." Ye Haogen interrupted the two of them with a very firm attitude.
Ye Wei nodded silently and did not argue with his father for the time being. Gu Qiao frowned silently, wondering what he was thinking.
"There's one more thing" Ye Haogen hesitated for a while, then said: "But, I want to keep one theater to continue releasing "The Wedding Is Coming" on Friday."
His expression was very complicated, a little ashamed, but also shining with a different kind of look, "I have been looking forward to this moment for so long when I see my movie playing on the big screen in the theater Although 99% of the time it will end up losing money, ButQiao, Wei, can you understand me?"
Ye Wei nodded heavily, of course he understood, this was his father's dream.
"I have been looking forward to it for too long Moreover, we have already invited many relatives and friends to come and support us, and everyone is looking forward to it. We cannot cancel it suddenly"
"Yes." Gu Qiao shook her husband's hand and said with a gentle smile, "Yes, let's keep a cinema, otherwise there will be regrets."
Ye Wei looked at his parents. His mother just wanted to realize his dream, but his father seemed to be hoping for a miracle. The quality of the movie was decided by the big screen, right? Okay, okay. He nodded and said: "Just keep one family and use the money to make your wish come true."
"Okay, thank you" Ye Haogen showed a bitter smile and murmured in his heart: "Son, I just hope you can be proud of me."
The three chatted for a while and then ended the meeting. Ye Wei was strictly ordered to calm down and resume school tomorrow. He had been absent for a day and a half "due to illness".
You have to go to school, and you also have to do other things. Ye Wei maintains this idea, and just remaking "Wedding Day is Coming" is not enough. If he expects the remake to sell 1 million, it is better to think about other opportunities
Returning to his room, he glanced around. The spacious room was crowded. The walls were covered with posters of movies, beauties, football stars, etc. There were things everywhere, cabinets of comics and books, soldiers, cowboys, etc. There are countless toys such as Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and panda dolls, and there are also 1:1 size R2-D2 and C-3po robots in the corner.
Look again, Chinese swords, air guns, nunchucks, sandbags, footballs, basketballs, Playboy magazine, computers, guitars, drawing boards, DV cameras, DVDs, astronomical telescopes, biological microscopes, amber fossils, volcano models, globes, Spaceshipthe black stone from "2001: A Space Odyssey", 1:1!
There are also many gadgets that make him feel messy and weird, such as the "telepath" with a broken black box attached to a wire. With AA batteries installed, the black box can receive other people's brain waves, and then pass them through The form of electric shock is transmitted to the brain of the person who received the electric shock, thus achieving telepathy.
The most outrageous thing is not that he was so shocked that Toto couldn't even feel anything except screaming, but that this thing cost 2,000 US dollars and was bought at a flea market.
These things bear witness to his past three minutes of popularity and his former prodigality!
"Fortunately, I've quit." Ye Wei muttered, and his eyes finally stopped at an item hanging on the wall. It was a 10th birthday gift from his father: a director's viewfinder.
Making a movie? His mind moved, and he could no longer take this idea back, "I am a professional college graduate. Even if I are asked to direct a script now, I will not be able to take it back."What a problem! "
He walked over and took down the director's viewfinder. His heart was beating fast. This was not a daydream. When Spielberg was 16 years old, he made a feature film using Super 8. When it comes to short films, On the other hand, this great director started working at the age of 11!
Tim Burton is 13 years old, Peter Jackson is 16 years old, Martin Scorsese is 17 years old, Sam Raimi is 18 years old, and Orson Welles is 19 years old!
There are many, many people who have been messing around in the film industry when they were younger. At my current age, there are countless people who only shoot TV commercials and corporate videos
Why can¡¯t it be me?
There are so many advantages to being a female horse!
A bad movie is the source of all problems, but a good movie can solve all problems.
"That's right, that's right." Ye Wei couldn't help but nod as he thought about it, the more he thought about it, the more ambitious he became, that's it! This is what he will do!
He squinted and looked around with the viewfinder. Everything became like a screen. It was really interesting to see the world through the lens!
At this time, something walked briskly into the room, but it was Toto. It came here, wagging its tail, and looked up at him with its round eyes.
"Hey, buddy." Ye Wei looked at it through the viewfinder. It tilted its head pitifully. He smiled and said, "Yes, something happened at home, but it's OK. Everything will be fine. You tell me How about making a movie? Exactly, what a great idea! We can first look for any good opportunities in the industry. Anyway, we are very busy. "Wedding Day" will be released on Friday, and I have to do it tomorrow. Go to school. What are you thinking, nonsense? Haha, yes, nonsense!"
He sat on the floor, caressing Toto¡¯s head, and said with a smile: ¡°Man, five hours of cuttlefish time, I really have a headache when I think about it It will be interesting, right?¡±
