Chapter 244: Alliance Formed
Chapter 244: Alliance Formed
Back-end income is just like buying fund stocks. Actors are gambling that the movie or TV series they are involved in will be successful.
Of course, the risks of gambling vary depending on the film project.
If ordinary movie projects are like ordinary stocks with uncertain risks, then the movies in the Galaxy Cinematic Universe are as stable as bond funds.
As for the Galaxy Movie directed by Wang Hao himself, it is definitely the ultra-long-term and high-interest Chinese government bonds, the hard currency in the capital market.
So when Wang Hao said those words, the two brothers of the Wang family were immediately silenced.
Indeed, the reason why they invited Wang Hao to the banquet today and specially called three beautiful actresses from the company was to obtain the project investment qualification of [Galaxy Cinematic Universe] from Wang Hao.
Ultimately, this comes down to trust in Wang Hao's abilities and the prospects of the Galaxy Cinematic Universe.
Since they can see this, how could those actors, stars, and directors who have also been in the entertainment industry for a long time not see it?
Don’t you see that at this moment, the eyes of the three girls serving at the table have all fallen on Wang Hao.
Especially Che Xiao, who was sitting next to him, her whole body was almost sticking to Wang Hao's arm.
This really proves the saying "You never know how proactive your goddess can be in front of other people."
But this is, after all, a banquet for the two brothers of the Wang family, and they certainly won't let it be a dull occasion.
Wang Zhonglei immediately burst into laughter and complimented Wang Hao loudly.
"Director Wang's words are indeed domineering!
Come, I'll toast you a glass, and I also wish our [Galaxy Cinematic Universe] project will last forever, and the backend income will be paid out forever."
As the two sides toasted each other, the dominance and confidence displayed by Wang Hao finally intimidated the two Wang brothers and made Huayi's determination to cooperate with him even stronger.
Only a fool would give up this kind of high-quality project that can generate long-term returns to others.
So both the host and the guests had a great time drinking, and by the time the two Wang brothers escorted Wang Hao out, he could hardly walk.
Fortunately, he had already called Wan Qian in advance.
This girl successfully passed the driving test last year and can be a qualified designated driver.
As for Che Xiao?
Although this girl is pretty, she is not easy to get along with.
Wang Hao has not officially broken up with Wan Qian yet, and they are both in Beijing. Wang Hao doesn't want to create any Shura scene in his own area.
So he just left Che Xiao's contact information, and as for the rest, he would talk about it later.
After the party with the two brothers from Huayi Wang family, Wang Hao received invitations from other friends one after another in the next few days.
Among them is the star-studded Lu Zheng, as well as Huo Wenxi, the mainland head of Eagle Emperor Entertainment who is also in Beijing, and Xu Peng, the vice president of Moying Group, who hurriedly flew over from Shanghai after receiving the news.
It was naturally impossible for Wang Hao to turn away these friends with whom he had worked before.
Of course, if you want to get a piece of the pie from Wang Hao now, it is not enough to just rely on financial investment.
The reason why Wang Hao is willing to cooperate with Huaying is that Huaying is the official leading enterprise in the film and television industry. If Wang Hao wants to go the route of co-production with foreign capital for his future films, he cannot do without Huaying.
As for Huayi, it is because they are now the representative of private enterprises in the film and television industry, and they have signed many film and television stars. Wang Hao wants to promote the project packaging business of his own agency and promote the implementation of "back-end income", so he naturally relies on the other party.
Besides, the other party is one of the local bosses in the Golden Circle and is in the same place as Wang Hao's Galaxy Pictures, so Wang Hao naturally has to consider something.
Apart from these two companies, it will not be easy for others to participate in the "Galaxy Cinematic Universe" project after seeing the situation clearly.
Fortunately, these companies dared to come to Wang Hao, so their own strength is naturally good, and they also have enough chips in their hands to cooperate with Wang Hao, so Wang Hao communicated with them very smoothly.
Among them, "Raging Fire" which is currently being prepared is jointly invested by Galaxy Pictures and Eagle King Entertainment.
Thanks to its relationship with Wanda Cinemas, Starry Night also obtained an investment share in Wang Hao's new film next year.
As for the Magic Shadow Group, Wang Hao also gave it a portion of the investment share because it also owned a cinema chain.
But among these companies, their share should be the smallest.
After dealing with these film and television companies, Wang Hao received another call from his mentor Tian Zhuang.
As a graduate student in the directing department of the Shanghai Film Academy, Wang Hao had previously used his connections to promote cooperation between Xingdou Culture and the Shanghai Film Academy, and found a good internship location for graduates of the school's behind-the-scenes major.
Moreover, the behind-the-scenes staff training course jointly organized by Xinghe Culture and Shanghai Film Academy is also very successful.
In addition, Wang Hao had just broken the box office record for domestic directors not long ago, so Tian Zhuang wanted Wang Hao to take advantage of the end of the year to give lessons to his younger classmates again and share his experience.
Wang Hao naturally did not dare to refuse the tutor's request, so he returned to the Shanghai Film Academy the next day to give a lesson to his younger classmates who were still in the ivory tower.
As the most successful director of the younger generation at the Shanghai Film Academy, Wang Hao's open class is still very popular.
At least the auditorium where he taught was filled with people early on.
Most of what he talked about in class were his observations on the industrialization of Hollywood films and his thoughts on the industrialization of Chinese films.
Compared with the somewhat outdated teaching content of the Shanghai Film Academy, what Wang Hao talked about was particularly novel and meaningful, which made the younger students who attended the class feel very interesting.
When the lecture ended, the whole audience burst into applause.
This is not because of Wang Hao's successful identity as a director, but because from this course, everyone present felt Wang Hao's down-to-earth determination and perseverance to develop China's film industry step by step.
And this spirit is naturally worthy of admiration and worship.
Especially those female students from the Film Academy, their gazes towards Wang Hao were extremely passionate.
Some brave female students even came forward boldly after the lecture.
Wang Hao even saw several future star faces among them, such as the famous Sister Shuangzi and Gao Ye, who was famous for playing the role of the sister-in-law.
However, facing these enthusiastic female classmates, Wang Hao just waved at them and did not stop to communicate with them.
After all, in such a situation where there were so many people gathered, he was afraid of causing trouble and a stampede.
Of course, not all students were unable to talk to Wang Hao. At least when a slightly familiar voice came from behind him, Wang Hao turned around.
