Chapter 929 Levels of Liars

Generally speaking, there are several levels of fraudulent investment in the current film and television industry.

The least popular one is the empty glove white wolf, who just fabricates a project and then brags about it vigorously. Of course, this kind of deception without technical content, even if it is really a deception, it is difficult to defraud a lot of money.

The second is those directors who pretend to be artists in the name of art. They will talk to you about art, the themes expressed in a certain movie by a certain director, the meaning of life, and abstract paintings. , talk about things you don't understand.

What is art, you don't understand it.

This kind of person, in fact, can be summed up as, I, the artist, give money!
Not to mention, there is quite a market for this kind of people. These days, most of them are local tyrants who want to fill and decorate themselves with art.

But this kind of people, you can’t say that they are liars. You give money, and they will really shoot you. Of course, it’s not clear what the hell they are shooting. In a word, this is art, talking about profit. That is blasphemy against art.

Then there are more technical ones. Although many rich people in China are richer than foreigners at present, due to historical reasons, in the eyes of those people, foreign things are still more compelling.

For example, why there is export to domestic sales, this is the reason.

The same situation exists in movies. For some people, it is natural to think that foreign film companies, such as those in Hollywood, must be better than domestic ones.

Then, after a series of fooling around, the money was invested, well, the other party also made a film for you, but what the hell is that film, I guess even the liar himself is not very clear.

Then there are those former directors on Hong Kong Island. Because of their previous fame, they have a project, and they will find another big star to act.

Well, then, offer yourself a sky-high salary, for example, if you invest 1 million yuan in a film, they will first give themselves 2000 million yuan as a director's fee, and then give themselves 1000 million yuan as a producer's salary, and then offer sky-high wages to the crew .

Well, then, sorry, the money is not enough, either you continue to invest, or it will be in vain.

The representative, Chen Zhengmeng, is his forte.

Anyone who has been tricked knows it.Then when the investors get the money out again, they spend several million more to make a movie, um, go to the theaters in the mainland, the box office of the movie is not strong, sorry, the movie is venture capital, investment is risky, You see, I also hope to sell well, but the market changes too fast these days, so you can't blame me, right?

Further up is more advanced, such as Ponzi schemes.

They first set up a few companies, then associate with some well-known companies, publicize them, and then start crowdfunding and financing.

Well, even they will directly attract you to invest in the way of protecting capital and profit, and then cheating here and there, and finally it is almost the same, directly declaring the company bankrupt.

They transfer the money through various names, and then the investors will cry.

Of course, this method can only trap outsiders and foreigners. Because of this kind of thing, they will still worry about going to court in China, but if you, a foreigner, come to the lawsuit, you will be struck out in minutes.

Chen Taiqun and Jin Ming woke up like a dream. After careful consideration, this project that they thought had no problems before turned out to be full of loopholes.

Of course, this is based on the detailed investigation results provided by Yang Tianqi.

For example, this project actually belongs to a leather bag company, Jaguar Films. This kind of film company can be acquired by anyone in North America, as long as they spend a little money.

For example, Leopard Gate Pictures actually has little to do with this project, they just earn an employment fee. If the person runs away and the company declares bankruptcy, they have no responsibility at all to find Leopard Gate Pictures.

Another one, the so-called invitation of Brooke Daken to play the leading role is even more nonsense, any one will do, as for Brooke Daken said in an interview that he was indeed invited for "Showdown in the Air", and he is still considering it , this kind of thing is even more nonsense.

Even if Brooke Darken knew that "Aerial Battle" was not good, as an actor, he would not casually say something that offended others.

Chen Taiqun and Jin Ming looked at each other, feeling a little horrified, but luckily they didn't sign a contract or make a payment, otherwise, it would be a real disaster.
Longteng Consulting's Yang Tianqi sent a big gift, and it was timely, which saved Chen Taiqun from losing hundreds of millions of funds, and naturally won Chen Taiqun's favor all at once.

Moreover, Longteng Consulting is backed by Lingxiaoge Group and Longteng Film and Television, so its strength is absolutely strong.

In addition, the fees are considered reasonable, and the necessary financial guarantees will be provided, so Chen Taiqun immediately made a decision and entrusted Longteng Consulting to help find suitable film and television investment projects.

Within three days, Yang Tianqi visited several investment companies and individual investors who were interested in investing in "Aerial Battle" and had already invested in "Aerial Battle".

Similarly, another 3 days later, there was definite news from North America that Brooke Daken publicly stated that he had rejected the film contract of "Aerial Battle", and at the same time persuaded investment in the "Aerial Battle" project in the name of his participation Expressed strong dissatisfaction with the matter of human financing.

Immediately afterwards, the Leopard Gate Films spokesperson publicly stated that all financing and crowdfunding of the "Aerial Battle" project had nothing to do with Leopard Gate Films.

In fact, the scam was not limited to the project "Aerial Battle", but in the end Yang Tianqi chose to start with this project after careful selection.

Because the amount of financing for this project in Huaguo is very high, most of the 6 million funds raised so far come from Huaguo.

Of course, it doesn’t take too many resources to let Brooke Daken speak publicly. After all, it’s just a matter of one sentence for Brooke Daken, and after learning that “Air Battle” used his name to raise funds, he himself He also expressed his dissatisfaction, so naturally they hit it off.

But Leopard Gate Pictures actually took a lot of effort.

Time back to three days ago!
At a PARTY in Los Angeles, North American Legend Pictures CEO Nami Anderson met with Leopard Gate Pictures CEO Richard here.

"Is "Aerial Battle" a project led by Leopard Gate Pictures?"

"Of course not. However, Leopard Gate Pictures has already undertaken the production and distribution of "Aerial Battle."

"Really? But according to the information I got, in the Far East, someone took "Aerial Battle" for crowdfunding and made it clear that "Aerial Battle" is a project of Leopard Gate Pictures."

"What's wrong with that?"

"Of course there is no problem, but Richard, you should know that the investors in the Far East have always regarded this project as a project of Leopard Gate Films. Once there is a problem with the project, they will think that Leopard Gate Films has lied to them."
