A Madman's Gamble
"Brother Ye, although I know you definitely understand, I still feel that I need to say that if you want to build a first-class film and television company in a short period of time, such as within three years, you need a steady stream of excellent works that can create a frenzy in the box office market! And excellent works not only require excellent scripts, excellent directors, excellent actors, and a series of other things, but also time. Often, a good film cannot be made and cannot be released in theaters without one or two years! So three years, this is not..."
Zhao Jiwei said boldly.
"I know what you want to say. Three years does seem to be short, but as long as the funds are big enough, time will not be a problem! If you invest in multiple films at one time, three years is enough to complete the production and release of the films!" Ye Chen said.
What the hell?
Spending money on multiple films at once?
Are you going to play a scratch lottery? Open a blind box?
"Brother Ye, this kind of money-spending operation, similar to opening blind boxes of scratch-off lottery tickets, may indeed produce a hit movie, but if most of the movies fail at the box office, let alone the question of whether we can make back our investment, I'm afraid we'll become the laughing stock of the industry!" Zhao Jiwei said seriously.
However, Ye Chen shook his head and smiled disapprovingly.
Are the majority of movies box office flops?
The possibility of this is very small...
The memories of his past life were very clear. All those movies that were box office dark horses or those that were extremely popular were in his memory.
Including the directors, screenwriters, and main actors of those films, they are all clearly presented in his mind.
With these, it was enough for him to collect all the works from his previous life. Of course, it was impossible to catch them all, but he didn't need to catch them all...
Even if some of them cannot be recruited, we can still make corresponding investments and participate.
With this strategy, within three years, Tamron Pictures will be able to become a leader in the industry and make a fortune from huge profits.
"Do you think I can't consider the problem you mentioned? After you complete the acquisition of Chenggua Pictures, I will give you a list of screenwriters and directors. First, find the scripts and select them, and then arrange for directors to direct them. Three years, I'll bet my vision for three years! With multiple approaches, the winners will be the kings and the losers will be the bandits. If it flourishes everywhere, then Tenglong Pictures will definitely lead the industry and become a legend. If it fails, then...
Stop loss and withdraw from this field in time! This is my plan, so do you still want to enter this field with me? It's not too late for you to regret now! '
At the end, Ye Chen's expression suddenly became playful. This also made Zhang Jingshan and the other two stunned!
this
This is a crazy gamble!
Nowadays, the investment in a movie starts at hundreds of millions.
If we were to do a big, multi-pronged approach as Ye Chen said, how much money would we have to put into it?
"Brother Ye, isn't this a bit impulsive?" Zhao Jiwei thought about it and spoke out.
"Yes, it is indeed a bit crazy, but if we proceed with conventional development in an orderly manner, how many years will it take to gain a foothold? I don't want to wait that long, and I don't think it is necessary to wait that long. Otherwise, I can invest in those companies through financing. Why should I go out and do it myself? Is it worth it?" Ye Chen said.
To this.
Zhao Jiwei had to nod in agreement.
"Fuck, Brother Ye, you own 85% of the shares and you don't care about this kind of gameplay. The three of us only own 5% of the shares each. Is it necessary to think so much? Shit, we'll do whatever you say, Brother Ye!"
Zhang Jingshan yelled, then looked at Li Changfeng and Zhao Jiwei, "If you two don't want to play, just give me your shares!"
"No, who are you annoying? Didn't we say we don't want to play with Brother Ye?" Zhao Jiwei immediately rolled his eyes at him.
"Okay, let's carry out our three goals. Brother Ye, wherever you point, we'll fight!
Thinking of the last international crude oil incident, Li Changfeng smiled without hesitation.
"Okay, if that's the case, then let's do it this way!"
According to Ye Chen's words.
That's the end of this topic.
But the three of them came to see Ye Chen today, obviously not entirely because of the film company's business.
As the topic of the film company came to an end.
While waiting for the food to be served.
Li Changfeng suddenly brought up the topic from Tencent, "By the way, Brother Ye, what's the current situation of Tencent's game plagiarism? What are you going to do?"
"Brother Ye, it's been a few days since Nie Qi's blatant plagiarism, but neither Qianlong Company nor you have responded from beginning to end. Are you... planning some big move?" Zhang Jingshan followed up the conversation.
Ye Chen, who had long expected that the three brothers would question him about this matter, shook his head and smiled slightly.
"As for the relationship between us, I am not afraid to tell you the truth. Royal Court Law Firm has already entered Qianlong Games to prepare and organize the relevant materials. The reason why I have not responded now is mainly because I think it is unnecessary. Wait, when Royal Court Law Firm is ready, the lawsuit against Tencent Games will come as scheduled!
Little did they know that the three of them were frowning and shouting at the same time.
"Royal Court Law Firm?
This means that a young law firm that was established not long ago and has no hard-core experience or achievements will go up against Tencent's legal department?
This is not being reckless, but rather like hitting a rock with an egg!
It's okay to ask them to be legal advisors to handle some ordinary lawsuits, but if they really want to confront Tencent's legal department, do they have the ability to do so?
Also, with Ye Chen's current financial resources, can he not find any lawyer he wants?
As for handing over such an important task to the Royal Court Law Firm?
"Brother Ye, although I am pursuing Shen Yao, I have to say that if the lawsuit against Tencent is handed over to the Royal Court Law Firm, it would be extremely hasty! What is the level of Tencent's legal department, and what is the level of the Royal Court Law Firm? This is equivalent to letting a group of junior high school students fight against a group of postdoctoral fellows. To put it bluntly, it is like hitting a rock with an egg!" Zhang Jingshan said in a serious voice.
"Brother Ye, Jingshan is right! Because of the relationship between Shen Yao and Jingshan, we can usually take care of the Royal Court Law Firm, or even give them a hand. This is all fine, but asking them to go against the Tencent Legal Department is really... too risky in my opinion! How about this, leave it to me, I will help you find a lawyer. I dare not say that I can invite the top legal team in the country, but at least it won't be much different!" Zhao Jiwei followed up.
"Yes, Brother Ye, just leave this matter to us!"
Considering that Ye Chen's network of contacts is probably not that good now, Zhang Jingshan agreed.
Li Changfeng next to him opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing.
Ye Chen just smiled disapprovingly.
"It's not as simple as you think. As for the Tencent game plagiarism, no lawyer has come to Qianlong Game Company so far. This is enough to explain a lot! Those with smaller status dare not make any plans, and those with bigger status don't want to wade into this muddy water in order to avoid reducing their own value. After all, if they can't even win a case like this where Tencent blatantly plagiarizes, you can imagine how much of an impact it will have on themselves!
"So this case is actually a bit sensitive to some extent. Nanshan Pizza Hut's reputation is there, so it can't be said that there are no lawyers who dare to compete with Tencent's legal department. It's just that in this kind of case, the bigger the name, the less they can afford to lose! Of course, I know that if you come forward, you will definitely be able to find top lawyers, but instead of finding those who are full of concerns and afraid before the battle, it is better to find the Royal Court Club who is gritting their teeth and willing to sacrifice their lives to bring down Tencent's legal department!"
