The actor's mental state is not stable

Chapter 262 Lose Or Earn?

When I saw Zhang Chen again, he was smoking a dull cigarette with Liu Hongtao, and saw Huo Yunting looking up, "Mr. Huo is here, please sit down quickly. This is..."

"Mr. Zhang, my name is Zhang Debang, and I am the general manager of Xiting."

"Manager Zhang, it's a pleasure to meet you, we are still in the same family."

The four of them didn't have too many polite words and went straight to the point.

"Mr. Huo, I heard that you like a script of our happy twist?"

Huo Yunting nodded slightly, Yan Fei really told Zhang Chen about it.

To be honest, the thing surnamed Yan did was a bit unreasonable.If Zhang Chen intervenes, then the transaction partner will change from Yan Fei himself to He Kai Twist.

It's just that Yan Fei is willing to hand over this unfinished notebook to Happy Twist, which means that Zhang Chen should promise a lot of benefits.

However, Huo Yunting is not interested in what the two talked about, all he wants now is the film copyright of "Charlotte's Annoyance".

"Mr. Zhang, let's not talk about the old days, let's just talk about the movie copyright of "Charlotte Annoyance"."

"That's for sure. I invited Mr. Huo to come today to talk about this."

Zhang Debang next to him was full of energy, and he couldn't relax in today's conversation.

The clock on the wall was ticking very fast. After an hour, Huo Yunting also changed from being solemn at the beginning to being impatient.

I thought that Zhang Chen invited him here today to explain that the film copyright of "Charlotte Annoyance" is something to talk about, but I didn't expect that after talking for a long time, it finally went back to investing in Happy Twist.

"Mr. Huo, if we look at it from a long-term perspective, let's have a good time—"

"Mr. Zhang, if you talk about this, we don't need to talk about it."

Putting on his coat, Huo Yunting turned around and left.

"Oh, Mr. Huo! Don't go, we can discuss everything! At least listen to me."

Huo Yunting turned around, with a helpless expression on his face, "Mr. Zhang, we've already talked about investment before, and there's nothing to talk about. I'm not interested in Happy Twist."

"I understand, I understand." Liu Hongtao hurriedly got up and pulled Huo Yunting back to his seat, "Mr. Huo, listen to what Mr. Zhang has to say."

Zhang Chenqing coughed twice, "Mr. Huo, I know you're not interested in Happy Twist, you just want the book. What if the money you invested in Happy Twist is used as the buyout fee for the book?"

Hearing this, Huo Yunting raised his brows slightly, and after a long while, he said quietly, "Mr. Zhang, I'm surprised. There must be quite a few people who come to you to invest, right? Why did you just look for me?" ?”

This is true, there are indeed some investors who took the initiative to come to the door, and they are not bad.

For example, Huaxia Cultural Investment Fund has been in contact with Zhang Chen.

It's just that the other party's conversation is too boring, and he always wants to reach out to happy twists.There is not much money and a lot of things, isn't this fucking just trying to take pity on the government and make himself empty.

Can he endure this?

In comparison, Huo Yunting is much easier to talk to.

"Hey, Mr. Huo, I believe in your character."

Huo Yunting nodded slightly, "Thank you Mr. Zhang for your trust."

As soon as I say that, and you listen to it like this, everyone knows what's going on.

"How is it? What do you think of the option of investing instead of buying out?" Huo Yunting shrugged, put down his crossed legs, and finally became serious again on his face, "Then let's talk about it."

What Zhang Chen wants is not small money, and one or two million won't satisfy him.What he wants is naturally more.

But the problem is that the script of "Charlotte Annoyance" is not worth that much money.At least the four present here think so.

Especially Zhang Chen.

To be honest, this script is on the verge of legal copyright, and judging from the current situation, he thinks that this script is worth hundreds of thousands, and Huo Yunting's willingness to pay 100 million is really interesting.

In the end, he decided to put the film copyright of "Donkey Gets Water" on the film, which was the one that Huo Yunting was very optimistic about before.

"Mr. Huo, "The Donkey Gets Water" and "Charlotte's Annoyance". The film copyrights of these two books are 230 million. This is my bottom line."

Huo Yunting raised his eyebrows slightly, and rubbed his chin thoughtfully, "Mr. Zhang, I was wondering if we should change the method? Let's calculate the income from the movie "Charlotte Annoyance", how about it?"

"Ahem." Zhang Chen coughed heavily, "Forget it. Mr. Huo, to put it bluntly, I personally don't like the script of "Charlotte's Annoyance" very much."

This is the truth, but it is also a face-saving talk.

What does it mean to share the proceeds of a film? It means that you will also invest in the money for making the film. To put it bluntly, Happy Twist cannot get the investment money for the film.

Now is the critical turning point for the expansion of Happy Twist Drama. If it turns well, it will overtake on a curve.

Huo Yunting and Zhang Debang looked at each other with a tacit understanding, it seems that this is a lack of confidence.

Old Zhang couldn't help but straighten his back, now he has confidence.

The rest of the process is to see Zhang Debang's personal performance. He is not good at negotiating cooperation and pricing, so he still has to let Lao Zhang do it himself.

This time, unlike previous cooperation talks, it seemed that it took three or four rounds of talks to settle down. Only this time, after two hours of talks, the two sides finally reached an agreement. Xiting bought a 850% stake in Happy Twist at a price of 31 million, plus the "Donkey Gets" Water" and "Charlotte Annoyance" film rights.

And the screenwriter is required to finish writing the complete movie script.

Except for these two notebooks, the 31% of the shares were not all obtained from Zhang Chen, there were several other investors, and they were equally shared.

After the negotiation was settled, both Zhang Chen and Liu Hongtao had relieved smiles on their faces, and the only thing left to do was to sign the contract.

"Mr. Huo, we have a happy cooperation."

Huo Yunting smiled slightly, shook hands with the two, and then called Zhang Debang to leave.

With an investment of more than 800 million from Huo Yunting, and he did not interfere with the internal development of Happy Twist, Zhang Chen was about to float.

His grandma, finally, he doesn't have to look at the faces of those people from Huaxia Cultural Investment Fund.

From a certain point of view, Huo Yunting can be regarded as a happy angel investor.

The two left, and Liu Hongtao escorted them all the way.

When he was about to get into the car, he suddenly asked, "Mr. Huo, I have a question, I wonder if..."

"please say."

"The 850 million investment seems to have far exceeded the registered capital of Xiting, right?"

"So?" Huo Yunting raised his eyebrows slightly.

Liu Hongtao looked at Huo Yunting's face, and his words became more and more careful, "Mr. Huo, how much do you plan to invest in the film "Charlotte Annoyance"? Of course, I just asked casually out of curiosity, and there is absolutely no other meaning. After all, "Charlotte Annoyance" No matter how much money this movie makes, it doesn't matter to me, does it?"

Zhang Debang in the back seat pushed down the car window, lit a cigarette cheerfully, "Mr. Liu, let me tell you a little news in advance. Just a few days before you were looking for Mr. Huo, Coca-Cola invited Brother Huo to be the manager of the Huaxia region. Spokesperson."

He paused, admiring the ever-changing expressions on Liu Hongtao's face for a long time, and then flicked the cigarette ash, "The one-year endorsement fee is 800 million."

Liu Hongtao took a deep breath, then bowed slightly to apologize, "Mr. Huo, I'm really sorry, I'm a talkative person, don't think too much about it."

Huo Yunting smiled without saying a word, and then the car drove away.

The car was completely wiped out, and Liu Hongtao, who was choked by the exhaust fumes pouring into his nostrils, coughed for a while.

He has mixed feelings in his heart, and it would be a lie to say that it is not sour.

Thirty-eight million a year, and half a year's worth of endorsement fees can easily buy half of Happy Twist.

But people just look down on it.

Alas, fuck it.

As the car drove to the company, Zhang Debang babbled about his battle of wits and courage with the two talkers of Happy Twist just now.

After talking for a long time, when he raised his eyes, he found that Huo Yunting's eyes were blurred, and he was wandering away.

Well, I was talking in vain, I didn't hear anything.

"Brother Huo, Brother Huo?"

"Oh, what's wrong?"

"What are you thinking about? You look worried about gains and losses. Our trip today is not a loss."

Huo Yunting raised his eyebrows, "Isn't it a loss?"

If you don't count his estimated prices for the two scripts, and only look at the purchase price of this share, Huo Yunting feels that he is somewhat at a loss.

The reason why the shares of Happy Twist can be sold so high is that the "Earl of Wulong Mountain" a few months ago became a hit.

After the "Earl of Wulong Mountain" fire in the Beiping Geological Auditorium, Happy Twist struck while the iron was hot. In Tianjin, there were also several shows at International Village, and the response was not bad.

If this investment contract is signed before the release of "The Earl of Wulong Mountain", at least the price can be lowered by another 200 million.

After Huo Yunting finished speaking, Zhang Debang shook his head, "Brother Huo, we can't do that. Back in [-], when Happy Twist started to improve, we abducted Shen Teng, the pillar of the family."

"Think about it, if Shen Teng is allowed to vigorously develop in Happy Twist, today we will negotiate a contract with Happy Twist, and the price will not be 850 million. At least it will be eight figures."

Huo Yunting thought about it carefully, it's not fucking right, if he hadn't dug Shen Teng, he wouldn't be able to watch "The Earl of Wulong Mountain" later, let alone Yan Fei would come to him.

"All in all." Huo Yunting rubbed his face, "I think it's still a loss."

A few days later, Zhang Debang went to Happy Twist again, took his lawyer and waited for a group of people to sign the contract.

After that, two scripts were delivered to Liu Yifei's desk.

Of course, the person sitting in the office is Huo Yunting.

"Donkey Gets Water" is a complete drama script, and the two original screenwriters of the movie script are being revised.As for "Charlotte's Annoyance", Yan Fei is also rushing to complete the ending, and then change it into a movie script.

In the end, he still invested in Happy Twist.

Seeing that there were only two scripts in his hand, he returned to Yunting, sighed, and hoped that he read it correctly and that the two films could return to blood.

On February [-]th, "Let the Bullets Fly" was released, and it can be regarded as the complete end of its glorious journey.

The final box office was 7.23 million.

It can be said that it exceeded everyone's expectations.

This film is to give Boss Yang a lot of face, and he gave Jiang Wen a big red envelope when he was happy.But Jiang Wen didn't want to live or die. In the end, he wrapped another 800 million red envelope and sent it to Boss Yang.

He only found out about this when he met Ge Youyou fishing by the lake when he went out for a morning run in the morning.

Huo Yunting clicked his tongue when he heard that, if he was on the scene, he would definitely tell the two of them not to give it to me.

Although "Let the Bullets Fly" has been released, the audience's discussion about the film is still endless.

Excavating every line and every expression in the film, I never get tired of it.

Even Huo Yunting, Ge You, and Zhou Runfa, the rivalry scenes between the two veteran film stars, were brought up by the audience to talk non-stop.

Especially the scene of the three-person banquet at the Hongmen, the netizens who watched it said it was enjoyable, and they all said that it is not an exaggeration to select this scene as a textbook for Beijing Film Academy.

The three film kings are playing together, who else can do it if Jiang Wen is replaced?
Especially Huo Yunting, even though he is still young, his acting skills are already comparable to those of several old movie stars.

Many media have already begun to predict how many actor Huo Yunting can win with the film "Let the Bullets Fly".

It's just that although the netizens discussed lively, Huo Yunting didn't care about it.

After filming Coca-Cola's endorsement commercial, I hurriedly booked hotels and made a list of guest invitations.

If you talk about relatives, Huo Yunting can count them with half a hand, but if you talk about friends, there are many.

He dropped out of school early, and lost contact with his former classmates. Later, because of his illness, Bei Piao was basically alone.Ninety-nine percent of his friends are figures in the entertainment industry.

How the characters at this table arrange the table has become a big problem again.

Huo Yunting called one by one to inquire. When he heard that he was going to get married, his tone was like watching a daughter-in-law become a mother-in-law.

"Little Fatty, do you miss me? How are you doing? April NO.15, will I come to get married?"

"Old Guo, I'm getting married in April, can you spare some time?"

"Director Li..."

He called one by one to inquire, and basically he could come.

But Wang Jiawei was the only one who couldn't get through on the phone.It was only after changing Liu Yifei's phone number to make a call that I got through.

"Hello? Long time no see, Yifei, what's up?"

"I said, Lao Wang, you don't answer my mother's call, but you answer my wife's call. What do you mean?"

"Damn, don't slander me, I'm just targeting you personally, okay?"

"Are you still so righteous when you're fucking targeting me?"

Hearing Huo Yunting's voice, Wang Jiawei's forehead began to twitch, "Okay, okay, hurry up and say something, if I'm urged to film again, I can only tell you that the filming will be finished this year."

"Heh, double happiness is coming." Huo Yunting chuckled, "I called you to ask if you are free to come to my wedding in April."

Wang Jiawei's face changed, he was broken, and his promise was too early.

But in the end he agreed, and he still wanted to go to Master Huo's wedding.

The two families were planning their wedding in full swing, but Jiang Wen paid a sudden visit.

"Brother Huo, you have to go with your brother at the end of March. Don't worry, your wedding will not be delayed."

Huo Yunting's heart skipped a beat, "Which award is it this time?"

"The [-]th Asian Film Awards."
