Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry.

Chapter 125 123 We keep picking up the sixpence under our feet, and don't laugh at people who like to look up at the moon.

Yu Dongqing met Li Wan in an office building in the Bright Film, Film and Television Culture Industrial Park located on Jinzhan South Road, Chaoyang.

This is his newly established producer studio, whose main business covers film and television investment and production, director brokerage, screenwriter brokerage and other businesses.

I haven't seen Li Wan at first, but a girl named Zhang Yue received him, an assistant recruited by Li Wan.

Zhang Yue warmly received Yu Dongqing, and after making tea, told him that Mr. Li went out to do some errands and would be back soon.Within 10 minutes, I saw Li Wan pushing the door and coming in, looking hurried.

"I'm sorry, Dongqing, to keep you waiting." Li Wan apologized. "Go, go to my office."

Seeing Yu Dongqing holding up the teacup again, she said with a smile, "This is hospitality tea, go to my office and drink the newly launched Longjing tea."

After speaking, he said to Zhang Yue who was standing aside: "Zhang Yue, next time Mr. Yu comes, go directly to my office to get some good tea."

"Okay, Mr. Li."

"President Li, what are you busy with? Are you investing in a new movie?" In Li Wan's office, Yu Dongqing asked with a smile.

Li Wan laughed when he heard this: "Dongqing, we are friends, so I won't pretend, I didn't talk about business just now, I went to see a new house, on the edge of the East Third Ring Road, three bedrooms and two living rooms, 120 square meters, the layout is not bad. "

"Want to change houses?"

"To tell you the truth, our family of three used to live in a house of more than 40 square meters. The daughter-in-law said it was too small and the child had grown up, and it was inconvenient to live in. She complained for several years. This time, I finally made a fortune, so I just bought it. set!"

not bad.
According to Li Wan's investment, the producer's 5% plus his own investment of 100 million will account for about 14% of the investment. After deducting personal income tax, he can only make a net profit of about 1300 million. Buying a 120-square-meter apartment in the urban area The house is more than enough.

"Congratulations, when you move house, let me say congratulations on your housewarming." Yu Dongqing laughed.

"Hehe, I will never forget you. Speaking of which, it is thanks to you. If it weren't for your investment and that song, you would have earned so much?"

"You can't say that, the main reason is that the movie was shot well." Yu Dongqing said modestly, and then asked: "Where is Dongsheng, what are you busy with all day? Are you going to make a movie?"

"Yes. Preparing for a new film."

"What movie?" Yu Dongqing asked curiously.

"The name has not been decided yet. It is a story about a few idlers living in coal mines who make money by harming others, such as mine disasters." Li Wan said.

shoot this?
Yu Dongqing suddenly thought that the "Blind Well" of the "Blind" trilogy filmed by the space-time director Li Yang was about this aspect, but due to various reasons, this movie was not released in China!

Stepped on the line.

Thinking of this, Yu Dongqing asked implicitly: "Li Wan, isn't he a little sensitive to shoot this subject? I don't know if it will be easy to pass the trial?"

"I've read his script, and I think the chances of it passing the screening are less than half! I advised him not to give up the filming, but he didn't want to! I invested all the money I made this time!"

"I said, you are still renting a house in Yanjing. You made a fortune of about 500 million this time. It is enough to buy a house. At least you have a nest in Yanjing, right? But he just doesn't listen! He said that he even has a wife. No, what nest do you want?"

"I was so angry at that time. Hey, that's a stubborn bull. If you don't hit the south wall, you won't look back!" Li Wan sighed deeply at the end.

Yu Dongqing didn't say anything.

Some people are idealists, chewing vegetable roots and drinking porridge, counting stars on the broken grass, desperate for what they love.

There is no need to blame them.

We keep picking up the sixpence under our feet, and don't laugh at people who like to look up at the moon.

The two chatted for a while, and Li Wan took out the financial accounts of "Hello, Teacher" and the audit opinion issued by the accounting firm.

Yu Dongqing looked it over carefully, and found that the profit situation was similar to what he estimated in advance. His own income was 23501254.95 yuan. If the 20% personal income tax was deducted, it would be more than 800 million yuan.

"Holly, if you don't have any objections, just sign this form, and then the finance can do the accounting. I'll transfer your income to your account tomorrow."

"No problem." Yu Dongqing readily signed her name.

Just as Yu Dongqing was about to leave, Li Wan stopped him: "Dongqing, I have a script in my hand that a director wants to shoot. Are you interested in investing?"

"Oh, let me see."

Li Wan took out a script from the bookcase and handed it to Yu Dongqing, who sat on the sofa and read it carefully.

It's an urban youth film, and the more Yu Dongqing looks at it, the more he looks like "Little Times" made by Guo Jingming in that era.

The director's name is Liu Xiaorui, and he is also a director of the new generation. He has made several films, but they are all lukewarm.

In the original time and space, the box office of "Little Times" was actually quite impressive. The total investment cost of the four films was 4 million, but relying on commercial operations, the final box office added up to more than 3 billion, and the investor made a net profit of 17 million.

Although the ratings of several films on Douban did not exceed 5, and they received a lot of criticism on the Internet: what kind of story is bloody vulgar, compared to movies, the screen of the film is more like MV, a lot of flamboyant content, fan movies.
But it did pay off!And earn more.

This is also related to the careful promotion of the film by Guo Jingming and his investors: find the audience and conduct precise marketing.

Some people also analyzed that the popularity of this IP is related to the acceleration of urbanization and the rise of foreign labor and the anxiety of the identity of the new middle class.

The novel is essentially a small-town boy who is just rich, and almost all the important characters in the fantasy book of Shanghai have the shadow of the author himself.

This time and space, this Liu Xiaorui has Guo Jingming's skills?
If it's not shot well, it's a bad movie.

Of course, there is also a song that is very suitable for this movie, that is, "Time Boils the Rain" in my childhood is very nice.

However, Yu Dongqing didn't want to take it out.

I don't need a lot of money to invest right now.

Moreover, the relationship with Li Wan is not that good. If Zhang Yang and the others insisted on making such a film, he would not hesitate to come up with this song.

Help as much as you can.

"Sorry, Li Wan, I'm not very interested in this movie." Yu Dongqing directly refused.

Li Wan was slightly disappointed, but he could accept it.

Friends are friends, and business is business. No one would spend millions for nothing, except for a fool like Wang Dongsheng.

"Okay, next time if there is a suitable film, I will find you again."

"Okay, let's go." Yu Dongqing stood up.

"I send you."

"No, no, why are you being polite to me?" Yu Dongqing refused with a smile.

But Li Wan still sent him to the elevator and waved goodbye.

"Mr. Li, is he unwilling to invest?" Zhang Yue waited for Yu Dongqing to leave before asking softly.

"Well, I didn't read the script."

"What should I do?"

"It's okay, just keep looking for investors, this is what we're doing." Li Wan didn't care.

"Then do you invest personally?"

"No vote, only commission." Li Wan smiled.
