Chapter 203 Resources Arranged For Your Sister

Whether "Youth Bao Qingtian" is a project of Qi Wei Company or not is still very different.

In the film and television industry, it is very common to cheat investors.

Even if the investor is an insider, it is no exception.

Take the movie "Red Lover" as an example. At the beginning, Ye Sandai continued to increase the production cost, and finally let the Forbidden City Films accumulatively spend more than 3000 million funds.

This is not counting the millions of publicity expenses after the movie was released.

But in the end, the film only earned 2500 million at the box office in the Mainland, and almost none in Hong Kong, Taiwan and overseas.

A movie caused the Forbidden City Films to lose more than 2000 million yuan, which directly caused the Forbidden City Films to be in a half-dead state.

This made the person in charge of the Forbidden City Films want to check the accounts and confront Bo in court with Ye Sandai.

But Ye Sandai got an award for this movie abroad, and in the end, the Forbidden City Films could only eat Coptis chinensis.

In fact, the production cost of "Xiao Li Feidao" is more than 2000 million yuan. Qi Wei's company needs to recruit 3000 million yuan in investment. It is not just playing the same routine to make millions of dollars by producing this drama.

However, Qi Wei's food is still very good. After all, "Xiao Li Fei Dao" is a martial arts hit, and it is basically a profitable project. Qi Wei will not make other investors lose money through this project.

But in any case, it is too easy to manipulate the accounts of costume dramas, and Qi Wei believes that this will also happen in "Youth Bao Qingtian".

Just more or less the difference.

If "Youth Bao Qingtian" is not a project of Qiwei Company, but only an investment relationship, it is very likely that it will be cheated.

Qi Wei is well aware of how popular the drama "Young Bao Qingtian" is in later generations.

This is one of the most popular TV series in 2000.

You can even get rid of one of them. At that time, the show was rebroadcasted countless times in major provincial and municipal TV stations, and it still won the first place in the same period a few years later.

The drama "Youth Bao Qingtian" made Ren Quan, Li Bingbing and many other newcomers popular. Zhou Jie even became the most popular young actor in the Mainland by virtue of this drama and the two-part "Huan Zhu Ge Ge".

Of course, the most popular young actor in the mainland in this life can only be Qi Wei himself.

That is to say, even if there is such a situation of being cheated, the investment in a hit drama like "Youth Bao Qingtian" can still be profitable.

But the profit of the investor is definitely far less than that of the producer and producer of the drama, there is no doubt about it.

Now Qi Wei's company has no shortage of good TV drama projects, if it's just investment, he doesn't have much interest.

Even if it is a hit drama like "Youth Bao Qingtian".

You must know that Qi Wei invested 500 million in Li Shaohong's "Daming Palace Ci". Although he didn't dictate the production, he also obtained the rights of a joint producer.

If Chen Yong is not willing to let "Youth Bao Qingtian" become a project of Qi Wei's company and give up some rights and interests of the producer and producer, it is impossible for Qi Wei to appear in this drama.

The 500 million investment he proposed will not help him make up for it. At most, he will invest 200 million for the face of Deputy Director Sun.

However, this Chen Yong was quite acquainted, and offered to make "Youth Bao Qingtian" a project of Qi Wei Company.

So that the cooperation can continue to discuss.

There is also a reason why Chen Yong is so easy to understand.

Chen Yong was involved in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the early years, and only recently established his own film and television company in Guangdong Province.

At the beginning of the company's establishment, the most important thing is to start the company's name, making money is secondary.

And "Youth Bao Qingtian" is their company's first project. They want to be an instant hit, and to ensure that everything is safe, choosing a popular and topical young actor as the leading role is undoubtedly the most correct choice.

They have considered many candidates, including Wu Qilong, who was a member of the Little Tigers, and Zhou Jie, who became popular because of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", etc.

But soon they forget about these people, because they found the most suitable candidates.

That is Qi Wei.

With the drama "Carry Love to the End", Qi Wei has already become one of the popular niches in the field of TV dramas.

Qi Wei is still the king of pop in the mainland, with a huge fan base in the country, coupled with the almost constant gossip and gossip, Qi Wei has always maintained a high degree of topicality.

Just like those top streamers in later generations.

Of course, there is still a big difference between Qi Wei and them, that is, Qi Wei is really powerful.

Almost all the TV series starring Qi Wei are popular before they are aired.

Another point is that Chen Yong and the others accompanied Deputy Director Sun to watch the internal preview of "Never Close My Eyes".

You must know that future generations are because of the drama "Never Close Your Eyes", Chen Yong and the others immediately fell in love with Lu Yi, the hero of this drama played by Xiao Tong.

However, Lu Yi received invitations from other film crews because of the popularity of "Never Close My Eyes". Because of the filming of other dramas, there was no schedule to film "Youth Bao Qingtian". In the end, Chen Yong and the others chose Zhou Jie for the second best.

But even so, when "Young Bao Qingtian" became popular and they made persistent efforts to prepare for the second part, they still strongly invited Lu Yi to play the role, and in the end they got their wish and let Lu Yi replace Zhou Jie as the young Bao Qingtian in the second part.

So when they saw Qi Wei's wonderful performance at the internal preview of "Never Close Your Eyes", they were even more determined to invite Qi Wei to play the role.

Of course, this is only one of the reasons, and the more important reason is that they want to use Qi Wei's fame to attract investment for "Youth Bao Qingtian".

Although Deputy Director Sun has a good relationship with Chen Yong, even if he is optimistic about the drama "Youth Bao Qingtian", it is not so easy to help him get 400 million investment from Beijing TV Station.

In fact, what they are playing is Qi Wei's starring role, otherwise the Beijing TV station would not have invested 400 million so readily.

If Qi Wei did not participate in the performance in the end, Beijing TV Station would recover part of the investment or even the entire 400 million investment.

Qi Wei's high popularity is a kind of guarantee. Under the banner of Qi Wei's starring role, not only can he get investment from the TV station, but it is even easier outside.

You must know that this show is going to start at the end of the year, but it's only the beginning of January, and they have hurriedly contacted Qi Wei to confirm the male lead, and they are planning to use Qi Wei's signature to attract investment.

This trick is not new in the film and television industry. Some crews don't even have a script, and they dare to go out to solicit investment after booking a male and female lead.

Commonly known as selling flowers.

There is no way, many laymen don’t understand scripts and film and television shooting. Whether they invest or not depends on whether there are stars in your show, so the more stars in the show, the easier it is to attract investment.

That’s how Hong Kong movies were played back then. At the peak of the past few years, Hong Kong filmmakers formed a crew and found a few popular stars, and they could easily attract hundreds or even tens of millions of dollars from investors. invest.

It's so easy to get money by swindling, and there is no reason to spit it out once you get it.

Many Hong Kong filmmakers get investment through this way of selling films. They either make crudely produced cheap bad films or simply don't even have a finished film and there is no follow-up.

This also caused many Hong Kong film investors to be cheated out of their money.

Investors are naturally unwilling to invest if they are cheated too much, and they even boycott Hong Kong films. This also leads to the fact that Hong Kong films have neither investment nor market, and their decline is inevitable.

Both Chen Yong and Hu Mingkai, the director of "Young Bao Qingtian", have been in the Hong Kong film and television industry, and they are too familiar with the routine of selling film flowers.

They did intend to do so, but unlike the original unscrupulous Hong Kong filmmakers, they wanted to gain a foothold in the mainland, and most of the investment they got would still be used in the filming of TV dramas.

They needed Qi Wei's investment, and more importantly, Qi Wei's participation in the performance, which also led to them being willing to compromise with Qi Wei, and willingly made "Youth Bao Qingtian" a project of Qi Wei's company, sharing the interests of the producer and producer.

After giving up the interests, Qi Wei is willing to talk, and the subsequent cooperation negotiations will be much smoother.

First of all, it is about investment. The 500 million that Chen Yong said is short of investing in Qi Wei's company is naturally covered.

Of course, it is impossible for Qi Wei's company to take out the 500 million directly, and it will still find other investors for financing.

Excluding the 500 million and subtracting the 400 million invested by Beijing TV Station, Chen Yong only needs to settle the 600 million investment.

In fact, "Young Bao Qingtian" should be as well-produced as the later generations, and the total investment of 1500 million can only be considered barely.

It's hard to make money on production.

So after talking with Qi Wei, Chen Yong planned to recruit more than 2000 million investment for "Youth Bao Qingtian".

In other words, according to the share of funds he is responsible for, Chen Yong will invest several million more.

Qi Wei's film and television company is no exception.

The investment matter is almost discussed, and the next step is the matter of Qi Wei's salary.

The matter of remuneration was handed over to Qi Wei's agent, Wang Jinghua.

Before that, Qi Wei's highest salary for a TV series was 50 for "Daming Palace Ci".

Chen Yong and the others knew this.

Now Qi Wei's reputation is getting bigger and bigger, and the salary is getting higher and higher. The original salary of 50 yuan is a bit out of date.

Chen Yong and the others also reported a little higher, giving 60.

If you are not satisfied, you can add a little more. The bottom line is 80.

But even with a salary of 80 yuan, Wang Jinghua is not satisfied.

After all, it's better to lower the film salary than to increase it. If we don't take advantage of the guarantee of the ratings to increase the film salary, when will we wait.

So Wang Jinghua said: "The two dramas "Meteor Garden" and "Little Li Flying Knife" that my artist will shoot this year, the salary is not less than one million, so the salary of the drama "Youth Bao Qingtian" cannot be lower than one hundred." Ten thousand."

Chen Yong and the director Hu Mingkai looked at each other, thinking that these two dramas are both projects of your company. It is up to you how much you pay yourself, so you can't use these two dramas as your standard.

Of course, I can’t say this clearly. Director Hu Mingkai smiled wryly, and said with some embarrassment: “This drama has several story units, and requires many more actors than ordinary dramas. The investment of 1500 million yuan is already a bit stretched. Can you Give me a friendly price?"

"This is already a friendly price."

Wang Jinghua also explained: "Ren Xianqi starred in "The Legend of Condor Heroes", his salary is 120 million, my artist is more famous than him in the music world, and he is not like a newcomer in the film and television industry. He's not too tall
There is a production team outside who asked my artistes to offer 200 million yuan for filming, but we didn't agree, and asking you for 100 million yuan is already a friendship price."

In fact, Ren Xianqi's salary of 120 million yuan was only announced to the public, and the truth is definitely not so much, not to mention that others are Hong Kong and Taiwan artists, while Qi Wei is just a mainland artist.

At this time, mainland audiences still have filters for Hong Kong and Taiwan artists, and Hong Kong and Taiwan artists are more popular, and many crews are willing to give them higher remuneration.

Seeing that Wang Jinghua had a tough attitude and there was almost no room for bargaining, Chen Yong and the others finally agreed to Wang Jinghua's proposal of a million-dollar remuneration.

After all, Qi Wei's popularity is here, and it is also profitable to pay a million dollars.

After the negotiation was concluded, Chen Yong couldn't help but smiled at Qi Wei: "Your manager is really capable."

"I'm just pretending to be a tiger and doing my job." Wang Jinghua changed her difficult attitude before, and said kindly: "There are many talented artists under my company, and they are also very suitable for this drama. , You can still talk about it, it’s still a friendly price.”

"Chen Daoming, can we talk about it?" Chen Yong asked by name, and now Chen Daoming is definitely a big-name actor in the mainland, especially in the field of TV dramas.

He played the role of the Eight Sage Kings in "Kou Laoxier" before, if he is allowed to play the Eight Sage Kings in "Youth Bao Qingtian", it will definitely be full of topics.

Chen Yong had such a plan.

"Of course there is no problem." Wang Jinghua replied with a smile, her face relaxed.

"Then I'll be fine."

"Since the requirements of all parties have been met and there are no objections, then our cooperation has been established. Let me mention one and wish our cooperation a smooth one." In the end, Deputy Director Sun said in an official tone.

Then everyone present raised their glasses.

"Smooth cooperation!"

A cooperation was reached, and everyone had a great time at the next meal.

After more than an hour, when Wang Jinghua sent Chen Yong and others away, only Qi Wei and Li Xue were left in the box.

At this moment, Qi Wei has already taken off his coat and glasses, and unbuttoned a few buttons on the collar of his shirt. She is sitting on Qi Wei's body, so that Qi Wei can see her vastness as well.

She tossed her wavy hair, and shouted at Qi Wei in that coquettish, numb voice: "Boss!"

When the cooperation was just discussed, Li Xue felt that Qi Wei had the majesty of a superior, and this was what Li Xue was most fascinated by.

She is becoming more and more obsessed with Qi Wei, especially under the influence of alcohol, she can't stand it anymore.

Qi Wei looked at her with a smile, lightly brushed her face with the back of his fingers, and asked with a smile: "I heard you didn't assign your sister a role in "Little Li Feidao"?"

Li Xue explained: "Aren't I afraid that others will gossip?"

"Do you know what it means to promote talents without avoiding relatives? I entrust you with this project because I fully trust you. I will support whatever you want."

"Thank you, boss." She moved and kissed Qi Wei's cheek, and then took the initiative to take Qi Wei's hand and put it on her body.

Of course, Qi Wei's kindness was not just a heart-to-heart, and his hands on her body began to be dishonest.

His face, which was originally a little flushed from drinking, soon flushed with shame, and he also became a little out of breath.

In fact, the reason why Li Xue didn't assign roles to her sister in the play "Little Li Feidao" was mainly because many of the roles had been appointed internally by Qi Wei, so there were no good roles left.

Qi Wei can still guess this point.

Qi Wei is very satisfied with Li Xue, even if it is to take care of her, he must give her sister some resources.

Qi Wei said to her: "We will also entrust you with the responsibility of "Young Bao Qingtian". I think your sister is very suitable for the role of Ling Chuchu. I will arrange for her to audition."

Qi Wei arranged for his sister to audition, and Chen Yong and the others would definitely give Qi Wei face, that is to say, the audition was just a formality, and his sister was almost sure of winning the role.

Ling Chuchu can be regarded as the heroine of "Young Bao Qingtian". Li Xue, who has read the script, knows it.

Li Xue originally wanted to fight for resources for her sister, but before she could say anything, Qi Wei gave the resources directly.

This moved Li Xue very much, and fog filled her eyes.

The eyes looking at Qi Wei are full of infatuation and tenderness.

She didn't say "thank you" verbally, but with actions.

"Boss, I'm so hot..."

"let me help you…."
