After discussing with Yang Yuxin, Jiang Yi, Wang Yu and others, Zhang Yiqian returned to Qingdao, just in time for the sample film of the Cultural, Education and Health Committee to watch. After the viewing was over, Zhang Yuanqian was impatient to raise the issue of establishing a film company, because there was not much time left, Yang Yuxin, Jiang Yi, and Wang Yu only gave her one month.

Of course, Zhang Yiqian also intends to put pressure on the veterans of the Art Group 2. After all, all the conditions for establishing a film company are basically met. In terms of investment, Zhang Yiqian not only attracted a large amount of investment, but also obtained 60% of the controlling rights and the company's operating rights for the Art Group 2 with only 33%. Therefore, Zhang Yiqian emphasized this point at the internal meeting of the Art Group 2, and repeatedly explained such good conditions, it is almost impossible to have it if you miss it.

This time, Zhang Yuanqian's proposal also aroused great interest from the veterans of the Arts Group 2. After all, the technical conditions, market channels, investment sources and other issues of establishing a film company have been solved, so it is natural to set up a film company.

Another important reason is that although the second group of Art now shoots movies and engages in technical research, the funds are all withdrawn by the government, so they don’t have to worry about the source of funds and can study the art of film wholeheartedly. However, in this way, the income of the veterans of the second group of Art is also paid by the government, and whether the movie is profitable or loss is not closely related to their income.

However, the second group of art veterans have a relatively low administrative level in government institutions and have limited income. Of course, compared with the income of local naturalized people, it is still quite considerable. Coupled with the dividends and various welfare policies of the elders, with the income and consumption conditions of this era, the second group of art veterans can still ensure that they and their families live a very comfortable life.

However, compared with Yang Yuxin, Jiang Yi, Wang Yu and other veterans who have reached the level of wealth, this income is undoubtedly far different. In the administrative system, the Art Group II is the most marginal area of ​​power, and is a typical three-no veteran who has no money, no power, no job.

Of course, the veterans of the second group of Art are somewhat idealistic. Anyway, they have no worries about food and clothing, and they do things they like, so they don’t care about external things such as financial power. But if they can make a lot of money while doing what they like, why not do it!

At the same time, Zhang Qian also expressed quite inflammatoryly that even if the establishment of a film company failed this time, relying on the dividends and wealth of the veterans, as well as the political status of the veterans, they could still live a life of superiority. It can be said that they had no worries. So why don’t you fight now? Once you succeed, the veterans of the Arts Group II will completely turn over, not only have their own careers, but also squeeze into the wealthy class of the veterans, but also completely get rid of the name of the three-no veterans.

So after Zhang Yuanqian finished talking about her own proposal, the team leader Yang Sen decided to use voting to determine the final result of whether to establish a film company. The voting results of 12 veterans, 8 people agreed, 2 abstained, and 2 people opposed the decision to establish a film company.

However, although it was officially confirmed that the film company was set up, there were still several things that needed to be resolved before negotiating with the investors represented by Yang Yuxin, Jiang Yi and Wang Yu. Of course, there are more than 20 days left before the investors gave, which is enough for the Arts Group II to solve the internal affairs first.

The first thing is to unify the thinking. Although it was passed with an absolute advantage in the voting, there were still two people abstaining and two opposing it. The ideas of the veterans of the second group of Art were not unified. Therefore, Yang Sen said that the establishment of a film company was entirely voluntary and did not force it. Give the veterans three days to consider whether to participate in the establishment of a film company, and then talk about other things.

Three days later, all the 12 veterans expressed their willingness to participate in the establishment of a film company, but this was also expected by Yang Sen. After all, who doesn’t want to make a lot of money? So then Yang Sen started his real plan, and the 12 veterans from the second group of Arts formed a consortium to negotiate with the investors and join the venture.

Although Yang Sen is a bit idealistic, he is not a stupid person. Since he decided to set up a film company, he must try his best to win big benefits for himself. Although the two investors only hold 20% of the shares, not much, and the total number is not more than half, there are 12 veterans in the second group of Arts, sharing 60% of the shares. On average, each person has only 5% of the shares, which is too huge compared to the two investors.

Although the two investors have made it clear that they will not participate in the operation of the film company, they can only listen to these words and must not be sure of them. After all, everything is done according to the rules. If the film company really starts up and makes a lot of money, who can guarantee that the two investors will not be jealous of the film company's operation? If the two investors unite and then pull the two veterans of the Art Group II, they can occupy half of the shares, and they can control the film company on the legal level. Therefore, the 12 veterans of the Art Group II form a consortium to negotiate with the investor as a whole, and make joint venture decisions to ensure that the control power of the film company is decided by the 12 veterans of the Art Group II. If the investor wants to control the company, he must pull the 7 veterans, so as to ensure the maximum rights of the 12 veterans of the Art Group II.

The other veterans naturally had no objection to this suggestion. After all, who doesn’t want their rights to be protected? Zhang Yuanqian also said that she would negotiate with the investors and try her best to convince the investors to accept the consortium.

Finally, there is investment. Although the two investors only require the veterans of Art Group 2 to invest 1 million yuan, Yang Sen hopes that the veterans of Art Group 2 can raise at least 1.5 million yuan in investment. On the one hand, this is because the investors' acceptance of the consortium may reduce investment, and this part of the funds can only be supplemented by the veterans of Art Group 2; on the other hand, it is also showing to the investors that the veterans of Art Group 2 can also raise higher funds, and do not rely on capital to obtain them. In this way, Zhang Yuanqian also has enough bargaining chips when negotiating with the investor.

To raise 1.5 million yuan in investment funds, it means that each of the veterans of the Arts Group 2 will have to pay 125,000 yuan. This money is indeed a lot of money for the veterans of the Arts Group 2, and it basically needs to empty everyone's wealth. However, for their own interests, they are also optimistic about the prospects of the film industry, so they are willing to pay this money.

In this way, the Art Group 2 completed its own integration. Zhang Qian, Li Weibo and Lin Mu represented the Art Group 2 and went to Shanghai again to negotiate with the two investors.

Jiang Yi and Wang Yu did not object to the Arts Second Group to establish a consortium. Of course, they understood the idea of ​​Arts Second Group, but they were worried that they would control the film company, so they formed a consortium. However, the two of them invested, not to control the film company, as long as they could make profits. Bi Jing and both now have a lot of industries and do not understand the operation of movies. Why do they need to find this trouble?

In fact, even if the Art Group II becomes a consortium, it is easy for the two to really want to control the company. As long as one of the consortium withdraws, the consortium can be disintegrated. But the two did not explain it, but they confirmed to Zhang Qian, Li Weibo and Lin Mu that their investment remains unchanged and the shares they requested remain unchanged. They also agreed with the consortium's investment of 1.5 million yuan. After all, the more investment is, the better.

So the three parties immediately signed an intention agreement for cooperation investment, but if Jiang Yi and Wang Yu really wanted to give out real money, the second group of Arts would need to come up with a plan for the establishment of a film company within three months and a business plan within three years.

So Zhang Yuanqian and the other three returned to Qingdao with the signed intention agreement and handed it over to everyone for a look. After everyone saw it, they were very satisfied. So Yang Sen went to see Wang Jun again and explained to him that the second group of Arts wanted to break away from the administrative system and set up a film company.

Wang Jun immediately expressed his support and explained that he could ask the government if there were any difficulties, and the government would do his best to help. This is not a polite word, but a common principle of the East China government. In addition to the elders who are engaged in politics and have done something in the political arena, the government encourages other elders to start their own businesses. At the same time, industries such as culture, service industry, and light industry also encourage private capital to participate, and the government only supervises. This can reduce the burden on the government and concentrate on doing a good job in scientific research, agriculture, heavy industry and public facilities.

However, Wang Jun asked the Second Art Group to handle all the things that the Cultural, Educational and Health Committee has given them, and then leave the administrative system and handle relevant procedures. Yang Sen naturally agreed and also stated that after the establishment of the film company, the government will definitely support the need of the government, such as this time, the work of choreography of dramas.

In fact, although the second group of Arts was discussing the establishment of a film company during this period, the work in hand has not been missed. At this time, the drama arranged by the first group of Arts has been recorded and editing is being carried out. Because of the experience of the previous time, the efficiency of the editing work has been greatly improved, and it is expected that it can be completed at least one week in advance. There is also editing sports competitions and commentary work. However, the establishment of the film company is not carried out immediately, at least three months later, that is, in 1912, so these tasks can be carried out at the same time.

After returning to the second group of art, Yang Sen immediately assigned tasks, first of all, the editing and dubbing of the drama was added, because the sports delegation participating in the Four-Nation Games and going to Sweden to participate in the competition had already arrived at the Strait of Malacca and was estimated to be able to arrive in Qingdao within 15 days, and there was a lot of work at that time.
