Rebirth Turn

Chapter 96 Investing

Before "Can't Help" was released, the contract between Lu Yan and Xingkong had already expired.The sensitive media has already noticed the change in the relationship between Lu Yan and Xingkong, but because Qin Feng has always been Lu Yan's manager, and the people in the circle have tacitly agreed that it is impossible for Qin Feng to leave Xingkong for so many years, so Although there are doubts, no one picks this head.

For a long time, the contracts between artists and brokerage companies have been semi-public secrets, and some artists even deliberately revealed some favorable content in the contract after signing with a big company to highlight their status.But the contract between Lu Yan and Xingkong back then, because too few people handled it, and once the terms of the contract were made public, it would inevitably cause an uproar and discussion. Neither Lu Yan nor Su Mo intended to make it public. People will not reveal it.So everyone only knows that Lu Yan signed a contract with Xingkong. As for how long the contract was signed, how it was signed, and what conditions or discounts are there, no one knows.

The revelation of the incident was due to an artist Qin Feng once brought under his belt, named Qi Rui.Qi Rui had been with Qin Feng earlier than Lu Yan. When Qin Feng became his manager, he was already well-known. Afterwards, Qin Feng helped him win many opportunities. rise.If it weren't for the sudden emergence of Lu Yan, he could almost compete with Shan Chuyu for the position of the first brother in the starry sky.

Qin Feng's departure from Xingkong Qirui naturally had a great impact. Although before leaving, Qin Feng had arranged a lot for him and introduced him to a good manager, but it was not as good as Qin Feng himself.Qi Rui was somewhat dissatisfied, so when the media asked him if he had changed his agent, he intentionally or unintentionally brought up the fact that Qin Feng had left Xingkong.

Sure enough, there was an uproar in the media, and then thinking about the changes in the relationship between Lu Yan and Xingkong felt during this period, an idea soon came out.At this time, it was already the time for the last publicity of "Uncontrollable" going offline.During an event interview, a reporter asked if Lu Yan had terminated his contract with Xingkong and whether Qin Feng had also left Xingkong.This matter is not a bad thing in the first place, and there is nothing to hide. According to the original plan, Qin Feng arranged for Lu Yan to hold a small media meeting, and explained the situation of terminating the contract with Xingkong and opening a personal studio. .

At present, Lu Yan's personal studio is still under the name of Xingkong, but it is completely independent from personnel to affairs.The media is also very clear about what such a name means, but it is mutual benefit and mutual influence of the relationship on another level. It does not mean that there is any affiliation between them.Lu Yan is really independent.

It is not surprising that Lu Yan left the starry sky. It is not a rare thing for an artist to open his own studio after becoming famous. Lu Yan is now famous, although it may be a little early in terms of influence, but it is not can not understand.But Qin Feng actually followed Lu Yan to leave the starry sky, which surprised many people.

The relationship between Qin Feng and Xing Kong, it is not too much to say that loyal ministers are loyal to the court. Over the years, no matter how many film and television agencies have thrown olive branches at Qin Feng, whether it is to lure or sell favors, Qin Feng has never Never wavered.But just such an artist who debuted for more than three years has broken the unbreakable relationship between Qin Feng and Xingkong. While it is puzzling, one can't help but think about what charm Lu Yan has or what kind of charm he has achieved. The conditions made Qin Feng willing to go with him.

Soon, someone found out that Qin Feng owns 5.00% of Lu Yan Studio's shares.This is not surprising. In order to retain capable agents or other key staff, many studios will use shares as bait, which is a very effective means.But Qin Feng obviously didn't seem like someone who would be tempted by such a mere 5.00% of the shares.

So this matter became a mystery in the circle.It wasn't until a long time later that the relationship between Lu Yan and Su Mo was completely exposed, and everyone knew that Su Mo owned a part of the equity of the studio, that people suddenly realized.Although Su Mo has faded out of the entertainment industry very early, and now there are not many new forces in the industry who know about him, there are still some veteran journalists and entertainers who know the current president of the Su Group who caused a storm in the entertainment industry back then.With such a powerful person who has been kind to him as the second boss, it is not difficult for Qin Feng to leave Starry Sky to join Lu Yan's studio.

But these are later stories.

Currently, for Lu Yan, in addition to the various jobs as before, how to develop the studio is also one of the most important issues he has to consider.Even Qin Feng couldn't give him more opinions on this point.

If you want to increase your popularity and influence, you need to have your own brand. At present, the best way is to invest in some excellent film and television dramas in the name of the studio.Just like actors and directors want to speak with their works, in the entertainment industry, good box office and good ratings are the guarantee of everything.

Lu Yan naturally thought of the script he bought the copyright from Yan Ke more than a year ago. He has been looking for an opportunity to bring this wonderful story to the big screen, and now is a good opportunity.

But here comes the problem, he needs money and personnel.

During this time, Lu Yan thought about this issue the most, and even started to make a plan, listing all available and unavailable factors.He spends all his time outside of normal work doing this.

Su Mo quickly discovered his abnormality, and also guessed that it was probably because of the studio, so he took a chance and asked him directly, "You seem to have something on your mind these days, is it about the studio? ?”

Lu Yan was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Well, I'm thinking about how to build the brand of the studio faster and better."

"Any thoughts?" Su Mo asked.

Lu Yan then expressed his thoughts.

After listening to Su Mo, he was silent for a while, then raised his head and said, "It's a very good idea. However, if you want to make this script into a movie according to your idea, it must not be a simple matter. First of all, you must invest in funds. It will far exceed those currently released in China.”

Lu Yan nodded, "Yes. So I'm also wondering if I'm too impatient, should I invest in some low-cost movies first, and then do this thing when I have more strength."

Su Mo smiled, shook his head and said, "Benefits always coexist with risks. And if you want to make the studio a hit, what is more direct than shooting a movie that is more advanced than the current domestic market. According to you The idea, the story is a good story, and you want to use 3D technology. At present, in the world, 3D technology has become more and more mature, and there are some 3D movies, but there is not a movie with enough weight to show it. So if this A well-made movie will not only have a great impact domestically, but may even have a great influence internationally. So, have you ever considered seeking American capital?"

"Of course, I have considered it." Lu Yan replied, "At present, the domestic 3D technology is not mature enough. If you want to invite the best 3D team, it will be easier to have the participation of American capital. The expected investment in the film is relatively large, and seeking US funding can relieve the financial pressure, and secondly, it can give priority to getting the release rights in the US, and then the funds can be returned faster."

Su Mo asked again, "Then, have you ever thought about what kind of investment ratio is needed?"

"I hope we can keep at least one-third of the investment. However," Lu Yan smiled wryly, "even if it's only one-third, it's not a small amount."

Su Mo smiled slightly, "You don't need to worry about money. I have one-third of the investment, and we contribute in the name of the studio. One-third is a good ratio. First of all, the initial investment will not be too much. Big, if the movie sells well in the future, our profit will not be too small. If the profit is not good, the loss will be limited. In addition, in terms of foreign investment, I will contact you with several interested American film investment companies. You can bring As for the script and proposal, as for how to convince them and how to allocate the investment ratio, it depends on your own ability."

Lu Yan looked at Su Mo and didn't speak for a while.After they got together, they seldom interfered with each other's work. Lu Yan couldn't interfere, but Su Mo respected each other.However, since the establishment of this studio, their work has also begun to overlap.Lu Yan has always known Su Mo's ability and strength, but he never thought of relying on him to take a shortcut. He hoped to rely on his own ability to reach the pinnacle he wanted and stand in a position that could match him. It's about a man's self-confidence and self-esteem.

However, Su Mo's helping hand was so natural. Whether it was the original contract with Xingkong, the establishment of a studio, or the current investment in films, he has always analyzed the pros and cons as an investor.As if he is not a lover at this moment, but just an investor.But Lu Yan is very clear that Su Mo's investment in him is not only because he believes in his value, but more importantly, because of his love for him. Otherwise, for the president of the Su Group, the most profitable man in the world There are so many industries, and he is not alone.

Su Mo's words and deeds gave him no reason to refuse, nor did he want to refuse this love.At this time, the so-called self-esteem is meaningless, and hypocrisy is also meaningless. The most important thing is that Lu Yan believes that he is worthy of this investment. He has this value, no matter what the purpose is.

Seeing that Lu Yan hadn't spoken for a long time, Su Mo couldn't help asking, "Any questions?"

Lu Yan smiled, "Even if it's a third of the investment, it's not small. Doesn't Chairman Su need to explain to the board of directors?"

Su Mo smiled, "This is my private property, of course I don't need to tell anyone except you."

Lu Yan was shocked. Of course he knew that the Su family was very rich, and he also believed that Su Mo had some wealth, but he didn't expect that he would be so rich personally. It's not a matter of millions or tens of millions, but It is several hundred million.

Seeing Lu Yan's surprised expression, Su Mo smiled again, "I have made some private investments since many years ago, I am lucky, I have basically never lost money, and I have accumulated some savings over the years. So you can do whatever you want, don’t talk about one movie, it’s okay to make a few more. It doesn’t matter if you lose all of them, if you keep the green mountains, you don’t have to worry about firewood, and you can make money again.”

Lu Yan looked at him with deep eyes, and smiled slowly, "I will not let you lose money. I will let the world know that your vision is never wrong, and your investment is worth it."

Su Mo smiled lightly and corrected, "It's not me, it's us!"

Lu Yan nodded and said, "You're right, it's us!"
