half thorns, half joy
Chapter 320 was pitted
Shaw Group.
In the office of the high-level meeting, the depressed assistant almost stopped breathing.
Several directors joined forces to persuade Xiao Zihan to sign a large-scale fantasy TV drama project, but Xiao Zihan was unwilling to sign, and several directors refused to give up, so there was a stalemate.
Although the Xiao Group has now entered the entertainment industry, it has achieved a certain return on investment.But Xiao Zihan's investments are basically movies and online variety shows, and TV dramas are rarely involved.
Firstly, because the TV drama industry is in a downturn and there are so many restrictions, dramas are suppressed at every turn, and they may not be able to be broadcast on stage. With this suppression, the best publicity period is over, and it is difficult to recover the investment.
Not to mention, there are still quite a few TV dramas that have been filmed and cannot be broadcast at all.
In TV dramas, fantasy dramas are the most expensive. Fantasy dramas are not as easy to shoot as fashion dramas or family ethics dramas. Fantasy dramas require a lot of on-site shooting or post-production, plus special effects costumes, etc., so filming Fantasy dramas are easy to be thankless.
Moreover, it is not easy to insert advertisements in fantasy dramas, and it is not easy to get sponsorship.
Such a long-term project will have a long cycle after investing money in it. If you are not careful, the company may be dragged down.
Such examples are not unheard of in the entertainment industry.
But several directors seem to be convinced that this fantasy drama will be a hit, and they persevere in persuading Xiao Zihan to sign and invest from various angles.
With that posture, the assistants behind Xiao Zihan couldn't help but wonder if the director of the show, the screenwriter, or the chosen actors were the sisters-in-law of these directors, otherwise, how could they be so persistent.
Even seeing Xiao Zihan's face change, he was still relentless.
After the almost suffocating silence ended, Xiao Zihan said with a face of embarrassment, "Uncles, I understand what you mean, but this capital investment is really huge, and we are still waiting for the funds to invest in new projects early next year." Well, if the funds don’t come back at that time, new projects will be stalled and our capital chain will have problems.”
Several directors looked at each other, and they all saw calculations in each other's eyes.
Xiao Zihan's embarrassment was exactly what they wanted to see.
They had long been dissatisfied with Xiao Zihan, a young man in his early twenties, because of the equity left by Xiao Mingyuan, he was pressing on them at a young age, and he was doing their own ideas.
"Nephew Xiao, we have also taken into account your concerns. I think that, first of all, when the new project is scheduled to start next year, the film we invested in earlier will just be in the release stage. At that time, it will only be divided according to the box office. It will delay the new project. Besides, our investment in this new drama has already gone through a lot of research and calculation, and it is absolutely foolproof."
The movie was a literary film, and Xiao Zihan invested in it because the movie would win awards, and he didn't expect the box office at all.
At this time, the director brought this up, no doubt to fool Xiao Zihan.
Xiao Zihan sneered from the bottom of his heart, but he pretended to be thinking seriously.He is very clear that these directors are determined to make him nod and agree to invest in this trash fantasy drama today.
In fact, the [-] million invested will not really shake Xiao Zihan's foundation, but once the money is poured down, it will basically become a bottomless pit, forcing him to keep throwing money in it. When the time comes, Guangxuan's money will probably be another one. large sum.
Xiao Zihan glanced over the faces of several directors, then stared at the contract in front of him, and stared blankly.
He knew in his heart that this was digging a hole for him, and after the digging was done, he was forced to jump into it.
Although Xiao Zihan can completely refuse, given his status as the unshakable president of the Xiao family, he is not willing to invest, so even if the few directors present talk about it, it will have no effect.
But what Xiao Zihan thought was not so simple.
He knew that this was a hole that had already been dug, and he also knew that once he agreed, his next road would be to walk a tightrope, and it was very likely that he would really be trapped.
But if he disagrees, if he bypasses this pit, there will definitely be more pits waiting for him in front of him. Since these people have already stood in line with Xiao Yu, they will definitely not give up easily.
Xiao Zihan was really worried about whether he should follow these people's wishes and jump into the pit to see how these people planned to deal with him.
However, in the eyes of several directors, the situation is different.
They knew very well that what they had to do was to lead Xiao Zihan into the pit.
Several directors who took the lead in instigating this matter looked at each other several times. Seeing Xiao Zihan's agitation, they also became nervous.
On the one hand, they were worried that Xiao Zihan would discover their plot, and on the other hand, they were worried that Xiao Zihan would not agree if they pushed Xiao Zihan into a hurry.
Therefore, people who deceive others are also very disturbed.
So the situation became even more anxious.
Xiao Zihan thought for more than ten minutes before hesitatingly said, "Then... when will the filming of this drama start?"
Hearing Xiao Zihan's question, the director's eyes lit up, "As long as the funds are in place, the filming can start immediately, and the actors and actresses have been selected."
"Well, I saw it, I'll take another look." Xiao Zihan pointed his finger, and the assistant immediately handed Xiao Zihan the list of drafted personnel for the play.
Xiao Zihan opened the list and read it all the way.
The leading roles are Xiao Xianrou and Xiao Hua Dan, who are just as popular, and Xiao Zihan, the two leading actors, has also been heard of because of their high salary and acting skills that are inversely related to their salary.
Just for the remuneration of these two people, one-third of the investment will be taken away, and with the addition of other supporting roles and group performances, the production and post-production costs of this show are pitifully small.
Just by looking at it like this, Xiao Zihan can conclude that if this drama is filmed, it will definitely be scolded to death. It is not clear whether the investment can be recovered, and the infamy can definitely be carried on its back.
The so-called full-length novel must have an attractive protagonist, and this protagonist must be able to support this role.
Obviously, these two "stars" who are not professionally born and don't work hard the day after tomorrow can't support the character setting that has spanned decades among young people.
If the protagonist can't stand up and feel like acting, then what's so good about this show.
Xiao Zihan sneered in his heart, these people really fooled him into being a fool who didn't understand anything.
Why, seeing that he has a lot of money, so I thought he didn't treat the money as money?
Isn't it just a joke to ask these two people to act?
Well, since they are going to dig a hole, he will jump, but he will not jump peacefully.
Xiao Zihan threw the booklet of the proposed starring list on the table with a snap, nodded and said, "Okay, I agree to invest."
In an instant, the eyes of several directors almost lit up.
This is, yes!
"But, I have a request.'" Xiao Zihan changed the subject, "The lead actor of this play must be replaced. As for who will play the role, I have the final say."
The faces of several directors who had just gotten excited, sank again.
What is this all of a sudden?
