Chapter 80 Negotiating Investment
Seeing Yang Hao's funny and playful look, Mr. Han San couldn't keep his cold face anymore.
He smiled and said, "I heard that you are going to make a movie yourself, and you even tricked my daughter into being the producer?"
Hearing this, Yang Hao roughly understood why Mr. Han had such a cold face just now. It turned out that he thought he had deceived the other party's daughter.
"Am I the kind of person who would lie to girls?" Yang Hao was very unconvinced.
"Third Master, you misunderstood. How can that be called cheating? I am inviting your daughter to be the producer. Otherwise, would you like to take a look at the script of my movie first?"
As he said this, Yang Hao took out the script and storyboard script that he had prepared long ago from his briefcase and placed them on the other party's desk. Yang Hao still used the old trick and planned to impress people with the script.
Seeing that there was not only a movie script but also a storyboard script on the desk, Mr. Han San also became interested.
Yesterday, my daughter Han Jianu didn't mention the storyboard script.
The movie script of "The Richest Tomato" is only about 30,000 to 50,000 words. It took Han Sanye about ten minutes to skim through it.
After reading the movie script, Uncle Han couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Yang Hao is such a talented screenwriter. The script is so brilliant. His reputation is truly worthy of its name."
But Uncle Han has also been a director, and he knows that when it comes to film creation, even if the script is good, it is still hard to say whether it can be filmed.
In the film industry, good scripts are common, but good movies are rare.
Uncle Han picked up the storyboard script of "The Richest Tomato" again. He wanted to see from the storyboard script how much directing skills Yang Hao had.
Mr. Han read the storyboard script very carefully, from the shot design, plot development, to the storyboard sketches, Mr. Han looked at every detail in detail.
As he watched, Mr. Han San was actually fascinated. After more than an hour, he let out a long sigh and came to his senses.
Yang Hao was also bored while waiting on the side. He drank several cups of tea and went to the toilet twice. When he saw that Mr. Han San finally came to his senses, the feeling of anxiety in his heart finally subsided.
"Yang Hao, your storyboard script is so complete, it's just like reading a comic book, it's amazing," said Uncle Han, with a smile on his face, without any coldness from before.
At this time, Uncle Han San also understood why his daughter, who had always been sensible and independent-minded, would become a producer for Yang Hao. With this level of storyboard script, as long as the director's level is not too low and he can follow the instructions, the effect of the filming should not be bad.
Mr. Han San thought to himself, "I just don't know how good Yang Hao is at taking photos. I wonder if he is just an embroidered pillow with a shiny surface."
After all, Yang Hao had never produced any works, so he still couldn't completely dispel Han Sanye's doubts.
But when I think about Yang Hao's record since his debut, he has won victory after victory.
"Perhaps, Yang Hao can create another miracle as a director this time?" This thought popped up in Han Sanye's mind for some unknown reason, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed to come true.
There is no way. No matter what outrageous things successful people do, they can always convince people.
"I will be reaching retirement age at the beginning of next year, so why not help Yang Hao and make a good relationship for my daughter."
After making this decision in his mind, Mr. Han San asked tentatively: "Yang Hao, how much is your investment budget for this movie?"
After asking this, Mr. Han San felt a little thirsty, so he picked up the cup and took a few sips of tea.
"Eighty million," Yang Hao said calmly.
"Ahem." Hearing the number Yang Hao said, Han Sanye almost choked on the tea he had just drunk. After coughing a few times, Han Sanye finally felt better and continued, "Do you want to make such a big deal for your first time as a director?"
A production cost of 2013 million yuan might be considered just a medium-budget movie five or six years later, but in , it was considered a big production.
Just as Yang Hao was about to explain, Uncle Han San said, "Do you need investment from China Film Group?"
Upon hearing about China Film Investment, Yang Hao was conflicted. For this movie, he was planning to use the system's cashback funds. Now his cashback ratio had reached 0.3. As long as he used the system's cashback funds, this movie would basically be a sure win. Giving up his share was equivalent to giving up profits, which made Yang Hao very conflicted.
But this hesitation was only for a moment, and Yang Hao soon made a decision. Not only did he want China Film to invest, but he also wanted Wanda to invest together, and to get both parties involved to ensure the screening of "The Richest Tomato".
No matter how good the quality of a movie is, it will be useless without a screening.
If the movie "The Richest Tomato" is not scheduled enough, the box office revenue of the movie will be affected.
After all, the cashback ratio is only 0.3, and the box office revenue it brings is far from comparable to the box office revenue of the movie itself.
The biggest function of my system is to attract traffic to the movie through cash back, allowing people who originally had no intention of watching the movie to enter the cinema, thus bringing word-of-mouth to the movie in the early stages.
As long as the scheduling is guaranteed, investing 10 million in cashback can bring in traffic that may generate benefits of 20 to 30 million. Although you have to share some of the profits, you can actually earn more.
He also made a secret decision in his mind that as long as he planned to use the system's cashback funds for any movie, he would get at least 70% of the investment share.
After thinking it through, Yang Hao said directly: "The movie "The Richest Tomato" will still follow the cooperation model of "Bridget Jones" but the investment ratio will be changed. China Film will invest 10% and Wanda will also invest 10%. The distribution will be left to both of you."
Master Han saw the conflicted look on Yang Hao's face. Seeing that he came to his senses in just a moment, Master Han was even more satisfied with Yang Hao.
Young people who know how to make concessions and not eat alone can go far.
The original purpose of investing in "The Richest Tomato" was to promote Yang Hao and establish a good relationship with him. As for the investment ratio mentioned by Yang Hao, Mr. Han Sanye agreed directly.
"The Richest Tomato" has the name of China Film Investment, so it will be much easier to operate when the movie is released, and no one will gossip if it is given more screenings.
After the verbal agreement was reached, the three parties immediately signed the relevant contract as soon as the person in charge of Wanda arrived, and the investment matters of "The Richest Tomato" were basically completed.

After securing the investment for "Tomato is the Richest Man", Yang Hao felt a lot more relaxed. He returned home, lay on the big bed, and played with his mobile phone comfortably, checking Weibo to see if there was anything interesting going on in the entertainment industry recently.
Suddenly, a soft article title attracted Yang Hao.
"He is Yuan Hua, he is Gao Zhan, he is Yang Hao, and he actually has a physique that brings good luck to his wife."
Seeing this title, Yang Hao immediately became interested.
But I was thinking: "Has Yu Li already started to hype up her image as a lucky wife?"
In the past year, Yang Hao has been in the limelight in the entertainment industry. In just one year, he has produced a series of hit movies and TV series, and he already has more than 10 million fans on Weibo. The title of this soft article mentions Yang Hao, so the article has been quite popular.
There are quite a few discussions about Yang Hao’s “lucky wife physique” under this article.
