Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry.

Chapter 482 To invest or not to invest?Very annoying
Yu Dongqing is finally willing to continue making martial arts films.

Good thing!

It also hired so many big-name stars from the two sides of the strait and the three places.

It is also a good thing!

The gathering of stars is the guarantee of the box office!

But when he saw the script, his heart turned cold.

Is this going to be a martial arts movie?
A literary film dressed in martial arts, right?

If it’s done well, it’s no problem to win a Golden Horse or Academy Award, but what about the box office?

One word: loss!

The company has also conducted project demonstrations within the company, and most of the staff agree with themselves: this film has a high probability of losing money at the box office, so it is not suitable for investment.

Of course, there are also a few who insist on their own opinions.

It is Chen Jiaming, the director of operations of the film and television company.

His reasons are a bit weird:

"As far as I know, Yu Dongqing's studio will also invest in this movie, and the amount is as high as 5000 million! Could it be that Yu Dongqing is a fool, watching 5000 million go in vain?"

"Also, Yu Dongqing has made several films in the past few years, which one has lost money? Including the realistic literary film "Chinese Youth" is also profitable!"

Chen Jiaming's words touched Zhou Fanming's heart.

Yes
Yu Dongqing would not be so stupid. He definitely has his reasons for daring to make such a film and invest a huge amount of money!
But when she called, Yu Dongqing was very frank.

"Mr. Zhou, I will try my best to make a good film, but no one can guarantee the box office, so you have to think about it."

Yu Dongqing's frankness made Zhou Fanming feel a little more at ease. If he bragged about the hype on the phone and patted his chest to promise that he would make a profit, he would be suspicious.

Invest some.

There are also personal issues to consider.

After more than half a month of consideration, Huanyu Company finally gave a reply.

Huanyu Company invested 6000 million Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to about 5500 RMB.

In addition to Zhou Fanming from Huanyu, Zhang Longwen, the coal boss, is also struggling.

He doesn't know much about scripts, but the professional managers of the Longwen Film and Television Investment Company he founded are knowledgeable. After research, they came to the conclusion:

If you can't invest, you will lose money.

Even his goddaughter Zhao Sisi has the same attitude.

"Godfather, you must not invest this time, you will really lose money." In a villa in the suburbs of Beijing, Zhao Sisi snuggled up to Zhang Longwen's side and put the peeled grapes into his mouth.

Zhang Longwen chewed slowly, looking thoughtful.

"I'll call and ask Xiao Min again." Zhang Longwen said, picking up the diamond-encrusted mobile phone on the coffee table.

Zhao Sisi twitched the corner of her mouth slightly when she heard this, but straightened up without saying anything.

Of course she knew Ye Xiaomin.

Godfather's other goddaughter.

But I heard that they knew each other since they were young, and the two families still have a relationship.

"Xiao Min, are you still filming in Hengdian?" Zhang Longwen said kindly.

"Yes, but I don't have a role today, godfather, what's the matter?"

"It's not a big deal, I just want to ask, do you think Yu Dongqing's upcoming movie "Evil and West Poison" is worth investing in?"

"Of course it's worth investing in. How can you not invest in Director Yu's film?"

"But you also read the script, godfather, I'm worried about losing money." Zhang Longwen said truthfully.

"How could it be? How could Director Yu's film lose money?"

This?
You are blindly worshiping.

Ever since her goddaughter made the film "Youth in Youth", she has admired Yu Dongqing very much.

Otherwise, this time I just filmed an inconspicuous supporting role in "East, West, and Drugs", and I still happily agreed.

"Godfather, I know you've read the script and thought it was a bit inexplicable, but I think Director Yu will definitely make a very good film. Besides, I heard that Director Yu's studio will also invest 5000 million. Do you think he is Don't you care about money?"

Zhang Longwen was somewhat moved by the guy behind.

5000 is not a small amount.

Is it so easy to get away with it?

"Okay, I see, I'll vote in."

"Okay, bye, godfather."

"Bye-Bye."

Zhao Sisi was very close to Zhang Longwen, so he could hear what was on the phone. Seeing Zhang Longwen hang up the phone, he hurriedly said: "Godfather, don't listen to Xiao Min, she is in this movie, if no one invests If so, what will she do if the movie is dirty?"

"To shut up!"

Zhang Longwen said something, and Zhao Sisi was so frightened that he quickly shut up.

Zhang Longwen was thinking about this with a cigar in his mouth.

You can't disbelieve what others say, but you can't believe everything.

This is my consistent principle.

Thinking of this, he picked up his phone and called Yu Dongqing directly.

"Holly, I've made up my mind. My company will invest 2000 million yuan."

The weather is hot today, but Li Wan rushed to Yu Dongqing's house despite the scorching sun.

"Li Wan, why do you need to come in person in such a hot day? If you need anything, just make a phone call."

Yu Dongqing welcomes Li Wan to her tea room.

"Come on, try my newest technique, cold brew tea." Yu Dongqing was in high spirits.

I saw Yu Dongqing take out specially prepared ice cubes from the refrigerator in the tea room, first put a layer of ice cubes on the bottom of the glass tea cup, then evenly cover it with a layer of Longjing tea, and finally spread a layer of ice cubes, and wrap the ice cubes tea.

Slowly wait for the ice cubes to melt, the tea is released, and the yellow-green tea soup glows delicately in the glass cup.

"Try it."

Li Wan sat on the rattan chair, picked up the teacup and took a sip curiously, the taste was delicate and extremely sweet.

"It tastes good, it's called Shuiyun tea."Yu Dongqing smiled.

"You really know how to enjoy it." Li Wan sighed.

"Isn't life just for enjoying?" Yu Dongqing said leisurely.

"I'm not as patient as you." Li Wan drank the water in his teacup in one breath, took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Yu Dongqing.

"This is the detailed information on the film's funding. Apart from your studio, there are six other companies willing to invest. Huangdu, Huanyu, Longwen Investment, Zhishang Investment, Meiyue Film and Television, and CIDC each contributed 1000 million. The total funds are about 1.75 million.”

"CIDC? Is it an American investment company?" Yu Dongqing looked at the information and said.

"Yes, I came to China to test the waters for the first time in the film industry." Li Wan explained. "Meiyue Film and Television is Baodao's first film and television company. Dongqing, your movie is owned by Chinese, foreign, Hong Kong and Taiwan investment companies."

Ah?
"1.75 million, which is still more than 2 million short of the budget of 2000 million." Li Wan added.

"Three of my buddies have also pooled together 1000 million and are willing to invest." Yu Dongqing said with a smile.

A total of 1.85 million!

Li Wan listened and gritted his teeth: "Then my studio will also invest 500 million yuan, and make up 1.9 million yuan, which is probably enough. Our budget is relatively generous."

"Li Wan, don't you plan to invest?" Yu Dongqing asked strangely.

"I figured it out, let's go crazy with you!"

Yu Dongqing smiled and said nothing.

In mid-August, all preparations for the crew of "Evil in the East and Poison in the West" were completed, and Yu Dongqing and others were ready to go to Ningxia to start filming.
