Chapter 170: Han Sanye’s Favor
Chapter 170: Han Sanye's Favor
Wang Hao was actually very surprised that Huaying wanted to delay paying him the box office share.
On the one hand, the two companies had cooperated very well before, and Huaying’s share of the profits from "Fatal Call" was very timely.
On the other hand, the movie "Wushuang" was not only invested by Wang Hao and his team, but also by Huayi, Emperor Entertainment Group and Columbia.
Therefore, regarding the issue of profit sharing, it is not enough for Wang Hao to agree to it. Huaying not only has to talk to him, but also communicate with those companies.
Of course, now it seems that Huaying has regarded him as a breakthrough point, and is preparing to first persuade Xinghe Interactive Entertainment, the participant with the smallest investment share in "Wushuang", and then talk to other companies.
So Wang Hao was under a lot of pressure. It wasn't because of the money, although that was also important. The key was that once he agreed and asked for it, Huaying would bring him up when talking to other companies.
If that happens, the other investing companies will probably blame him.
But if I refuse like this...
"Hey, Uncle Han, you really gave me a difficult problem!"
Wang Hao looked at Han Sanping and smiled bitterly:
"Galaxy Interactive Entertainment didn't contribute much to the investment in Wushuang. You think too highly of us."
Of course Han Sanping understood the meaning of his words, so he smiled.
"You, you, Xiao Wang, you underestimate yourself too much.
China's youngest director with a box office of over 100 million yuan will soon become the second director in mainland China with a box office of over 200 million yuan.
This title alone is enough to make people take it seriously.”
When Wang Hao heard what he said, he knew that Han Sanping not only wanted to persuade him, but also wanted to use his name to persuade Huayi and Emperor Entertainment Group, which would cost favors.
Therefore, Han Sanping quickly added another sentence.
"Don't worry, this is just this once, and it won't happen again. In the future, Huaying will definitely give the green light to Xinghe Interactive Entertainment's business!"
In the future? You, Mr. Han, may not always be in this position!
Wang Hao knew that he couldn't refuse this, but when he thought about his next plan, this favor could be of some use, so he didn't hesitate too much and simply agreed to Huaying's request to delay the box office sharing.
After seeing that Wang Hao finally agreed, Han Sanping showed a satisfied smile on his face.
After confirming this matter, the two chatted for a while, and Wang Hao deliberately led the topic to their observations and experiences of their exchange and study in Hollywood.
Wang Hao had gained a lot from this, and he talked endlessly, telling Han Sanping the current status of Hollywood's film industrialization and a lot of related first-hand information.
After listening to Wang Hao's story, Han Sanping was greatly impressed by the operating status of those big Hollywood companies and the maturity of the film industry.
"Hey, now that you mention it, we still have a long way to go!"
After listening to Wang Hao's words, Han Sanping thought of the filming of "The Founding of an Army" which he was in charge of during this period. Comparing the two, he immediately realized the shortcomings and backwardness in his own filming process.
Especially as the helmsman of Huaying, he is also very interested in the "pre-shooting" process and production management software mentioned by Wang Hao.
But after learning more about it, he immediately realized that if he wanted to promote the industrialization of the film industry in the mainland like Hollywood, there would probably be some problems and difficulties.
After all, the national conditions are different, and the film industries of the two countries are also very different. Hollywood implements the producer system, and the industrialization of the film naturally favors the producer, and the director is just a tool.
The Chinese film industry practices the director system, where the director is the boss of the crew and holds enormous power.
There is a conflict between the two, and if we implement them rashly, I am afraid that it will not produce any good results.
Moreover, real money is invested in the shooting of a movie, and trying new production methods also means risks. If you are not careful, a single failure may abort the plan.
"So I want to try to get closer to Hollywood on a small scale first, and promote the industrialization of our local Chinese film industry little by little."
After Wang Hao studied and exchanged ideas in Hollywood, he had also considered this issue and anticipated that there would inevitably be resistance in the process of promoting the industrialization of the film industry.
Therefore, for a long time afterwards, he kept thinking about it in his mind, and now he has a general plan.
Of course, "reform" is something that must be implemented quietly in the village without any force. It would be best if it could change the general trend invisibly, so that those who are being reformed are unaware of the changes. This is a good reform.
Therefore, he did not intend to reveal the specific plan to Han Sanping, but just smiled and said:
"I have recently thought about the content of the new film, and I think I will apply some of Hollywood's industrial technology and management methods to the film production process."
Han Sanping was very surprised when he heard this. On the one hand, he was amazed at Wang Hao's talent. He had just finished filming a box office hit movie, and now he had new inspiration.
On the other hand, he was also surprised at Wang Hao's boldness and his willingness to be the first to try new technologies and models from Hollywood.
It would be fine if this succeeds, but if it fails, it would be a huge blow to the young man in front of me.
Thinking of this, he felt even more guilty about owing Wang Hao his box office share.
The young man has been working hard for the development of China's film industry and is not afraid of risks, but I am trying to hold him back.
"Isn't this a bit risky?" Han Sanping asked with some concern: "How about trying a small project first?"
Wang Hao looked at him and smiled, seeming very confident.
“It’s not that bad. When Galaxy Interactive Entertainment was first established, we were aiming for the film industry, and we were also moving closer to Hollywood in terms of team management.
So if we were to say which domestic production team is more likely to accept the industrialized production model of Hollywood, it would have to be our Galaxy Interactive Entertainment. "
When Han Sanping heard what Wang Hao said, he nodded subconsciously.
When filming "Wushuang" before, as a producer of the film, he had also visited the crew and naturally met the production team under Wang Hao. He was also deeply impressed by the orderliness on the set, which was different from that of traditional directors.
Indeed, just as Wang Hao said, there is no director or team in the current Chinese film and television industry who is more suitable than Wang Hao and his team to learn from Hollywood and carry out film industrialization reforms.
"Then is there anything I can do to help you?"
Han Sanping asked carefully.
