China Entertainment started from Nortel 96

Qi Wei had heard of Feng Xiaogang flirting with the Huayi brothers before, but now seeing is believing.

Based on his understanding of Feng Xiaogang's personality, he pulled the Huayi brothers in front of him, and it was not difficult for Qi Wei to guess his purpose.

For the king, Qi Wei didn't show any enthusiasm, and just nodded towards him after shaking hands politely.Then he asked Feng Xiaogang repeatedly:
"We made an agreement before, since the box office of our movie has exceeded 4000 million, should you honor it?"

Feng Xiaogang didn't notice or ignored the change of expression on Qi Wei's face, he still had a playful smile on his face, then put his hands on Qi Wei's shoulders to show an intimate look, and then said:
"Brother Qi, I am very grateful for your consideration of me, and the treatment you give is also very touching. To be honest, I really want to agree, but the king of Huayi Brothers also regards me as much as you do, which makes it difficult for me. Choose."

Qi Wei glanced at Feng Xiaoan's hand on his shoulder, sneered, and said, "We made an agreement before."

"It's just a verbal agreement, and we didn't sign a contract. As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a tree to live in. I just want to get more benefits for myself. Brother Qi should understand me."

"I do understand, but I'm also a person who values ​​agreements."

While speaking, Qi Wei pulled away Feng Xiaoan's hand on his shoulder, looked at the king of Huayi Brothers, and asked him, "I don't know how much treatment Mr. Wang gave to poach Director Feng?"

Before waiting for the king to answer, Feng Xiaoan replied triumphantly: "Mr. Wang, on behalf of Huayi Brothers, promised to release at least one movie for me every year. He also offered me a 400 million movie salary plus a share."

Previously, Qi Wei offered Feng Xiaoan a salary of 200 million yuan plus share for a movie, while Huayi Brothers directly doubled it.

You know, international directors like Chen Dadao and Lao Mouzi in China don't get such a high salary for filming a movie now.

"Brother Huayi is really generous." Qi Wei pointed a finger at the king.

The king smiled, and replied: "Director Feng is worth the price. To be honest, if Director Feng joined our company, we would take advantage of it."

This made Feng Xiaogang very happy. He said to Qi Wei: "Brother Qi, I am really grateful to you. If you hadn't invested in my movies one after another, I wouldn't be where I am today. I also want to join your team." Company, if you are willing to give a higher price, I am still willing to honor the previous agreement."

"You mean the highest bidder wins?"

Feng Xiaoan nodded with a smile.

I really want us to compete with each other, and you will benefit from it.

Qi Wei looked at Feng Xiaogang and sneered, then asked the king, "What do you think about this matter?"

"I respect Director Feng's wishes."

"It seems that Mr. Wang is bound to win."

The king nodded and replied: "My company is short of a good director like Director Feng to sit in charge."

"Huayi Brothers invested in Director Chen's "Jing Ke Assassinates the King of Qin" and my brother Jiang's "The Devil Is Coming". They invested tens of millions without blinking an eye. I really admire it."

Xiao Wang, who was not far away, couldn't help it immediately when he heard this, and walked over to Qi Wei and shouted: "You kid, are you mocking us?"

Huayi Brothers invested tens of millions in "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" and was also responsible for the distribution of this drama in the mainland and spent several million more. As a result, the movie only made a little over 1000 million at the box office in the mainland. Lost more than half of the investment.

And Jiang Wen's "The Devil Is Coming" couldn't pass the review, and it couldn't even be shown in the country, let alone the income. The 3000 million investment that Huayi Brothers raised for this movie was directly lost.

And when Qi Wei mentions these two plays now, anyone who is not a fool can tell that Qi Wei is being sarcastic.

Qi Wei was indeed sarcastic.

It's still that the king is more mature, he doesn't care about Qi Wei's irony, and said calmly: "We are outsiders, and it is normal to enter the circle to teach some tuition fees."

There was something wrong with the atmosphere at the scene, and Jiang Wen on the side also noticed it.

Brother Huayi is his investor, Qi Wei is also his investor and he is still a brother, his palms and backs are full of flesh, Jiang Wen had no choice but to smooth things over and said: "Brother Qi, I am still here, can you show me some face."

Qi Wei smiled at Jiang Wen, ignored Xiao Wang, and said to Da Wang with a smile: "I can't afford the tuition, you Huayi brothers are rich and powerful, I'm just a small workshop, since you are so powerful In BIDUE, I definitely can't compete, gentlemen love the beauty of adults, I can only reluctantly part with it, and give Director Feng to you."

"You're still a smart boy." Xiao Wang just said proudly, but was shut up by the king.

The king smiled and said to Qi Wei: "

Although we are colleagues, we are not enemies. In business, we pay attention to making money through harmony. My company invested in Director Feng's "See You There or Be Square", and Brother Qi's company also invested. We have cooperated.

I promised Director Feng that if he is willing to join my company, I will not impose any restrictions on him. He can take on other companies' plays, and he can also take on plays from Qi Brothers' company. I also hope to continue to cooperate with Qi Brothers . "

"I'm sorry, but I don't lack partners for the time being." Qi Wei directly refused.

Hearing this, Feng Xiaogang at the side noticed something was wrong.

Qi Wei's attention and generosity to Feng Xiaogang before gave him a feeling that you can't live without me.

So Feng Xiaogang can't figure out why Qi Wei gave up so quickly.

He began to fight: "Brother Qi, don't do this, I still want to continue to cooperate with you."

Qi Wei looked at Feng Xiaogang and said with a sneer, "Since you have such a generous partner as Huayi Brothers, I am redundant. I wish you a happy cooperation."

Nowadays, most of the film and television companies in the mainland are based on the director system. A good director can revitalize a film and television company. This is almost the case with Huayi Brothers in later generations.

In Feng Xiaogang's view, the reason why Qi Wei and Lao Mouzi collaborated on the martial arts blockbuster "Heroes" was because Qi Wei's film and television company did not have a capable director and could only seek outsiders. This is why he valued himself so much before. reason.

Qi Wei has needs for himself, which also gives Feng Xiaogang the confidence to be the first mouse at both ends.

But in fact, it is very different from Feng Xiaogang's thinking.

Qi Wei's film and television company is short of good directors, but it doesn't mean that Qi Wei's company will always be short of good directors.

The Huayi Brothers who pursued Feng Xiaogang are outsiders, and he does not have the resources of the entire Nortel like Qi Wei.

In fact, there are many talented professional directors who graduated from Nortel. What they lack is the opportunity to exercise themselves. If Qi Wei is willing to give them the opportunity, the big wave can always find a few.

Just like Wu Ershan Cheng Er them.

In other words, Qi Wei's demand for Feng Xiaogang is far less than that of Huayi Brothers.

Qi Wei regarded Feng Xiaogang so highly before, and the reason why he was willing to give him such a good treatment was because he was indeed a director who could make money.

In Dayangzhong in the Mainland, his price/performance ratio is indeed very high.

But if the treatment is too high, his cost performance will not be so high.

For example, Brother Huayi only gave Feng Xiaogang 400 million yuan plus bonus for a movie.

The two films Feng Xiaogang made before, "Party A and Party B" and "See You There or Be Square", these two movies cost millions of dollars to exchange for 4000 million beautiful, seem to be very successful, but in fact this kind of success is not Feng Xiaoan To the credit of one man.

In fact, these two films are two projects carefully planned by Han Sanping of Beijing Film Studio in order to popularize the probability of Lunar New Year. Under achieved this high box office.

That's why the production cost can be controlled within a few million.

However, private film and television companies cannot provide so many resources. If private film and television companies are allowed to prepare these two films, even if they are still directed by Feng Xiaogang, the cost of production alone will at least double, at least tens of millions.

If you add the 400 million remuneration and share given by Huayi Brothers, even if each of Feng Xiaoan's future films can achieve a box office of 4000 to [-] million like "Party A and Party B" and "See You or Be Square", it may not be possible. Some earn.

We must know that for the same film, the cost of filming will increase year by year as prices rise.

In the future, Feng Xiaogang's film investment will become higher and higher, and it will become more and more difficult to pay back.

With Feng Xiaogang's ability to direct, one can take a gamble, but his personality is daunting.

Now Qi Wei can be regarded as having a personal experience, and it is very clear that he is a very greedy person.

His greed is hard to fill, and there is a reason for the various love-hate relationships between him and the Huayi Brothers in later generations.

It is indeed a pity that Feng Xiaogang was not signed, but this is not an unacceptable problem.

Qi Wei didn't want to get entangled with them, so he said directly to Feng Xiaogang: "I suddenly remembered that my company still has something to deal with, so I'm leaving."

"Brother Qi, why are you leaving before the celebration party starts?" Feng Xiaogang couldn't help asking again: "Aren't you angry?"

Qi Wei directly admitted: "I'm really angry. I'm angry that my temple is too small to accommodate your big Buddha. I only hope that I didn't try my best to sign you. I won't regret it in the future."

As he spoke, he looked at the king, sneered, and left the table directly.

Qi Wei still obeyed the rules, and only left the celebration after greeting Han Sanping and others.

Looking at the background of Qi Wei's decisive departure, Feng Xiaogang was stunned. He never thought that things would develop to this point.

In the past two years, Qi Wei, who has invested in many film and television dramas, has gradually established a generous investor image in the circle.

Moreover, Feng Xiaogang learned something from Han Sanping that the outside world does not know for the time being, that is, the martial arts blockbuster "Hero" that Qi Wei and Lao Mouzi are going to prepare. Qi Wei's company will invest 5000 million in this movie.

You must know that the investment in a commercial blockbuster such as "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" by Director Chen is only 7000 million, and the investors that Director Chen is looking for are all tens of millions, and no one has invested more than 5000 million.

If Qi Wei invests 5000 million in a play, it is really a big deal among big money.

When Feng Xiaogang first heard the news, he thought it was an exaggeration, but after Han Sanping persuaded him to make friends with Qi Wei from time to time, Feng Xiaogang realized that the matter might be true.

This also made Feng Xiaogang realize that Qi Wei is no longer the little slapstick that he used to be, investing only a few million small shrimps in a play.

Today's Qi Wei has become a capital that cannot be underestimated in the circle.

If you want something, you will be tired. Capital is the object of being flattered and wooed in the circle. Even those big directors who think of themselves as noble are also polite to capital.

Many friends have many paths, everyone knows this truth.

Before, Qi Wei's attention to him and his impression of Qi Wei gave Feng Xiaoan an illusion, he never realized that this would offend Qi Wei.

But now he is aware of it.

Looking at the background of Qi Wei's departure until it disappeared, Feng Xiaogang came back to his senses, and asked his old partner Ge You: "Did I offend him?"

"Don't look at him being polite all the time, but he is very jealous, and he will take revenge." Ge You threatened with a serious face.

"You and don't scare me." Feng Xiaogang pulled Ge You, "You have to help me."

"No, I still want to be friends with him, I won't participate in your affairs." Ge You quickly refused.

But at this time, Xiao Wang couldn't stand it any longer, and said, "What's wrong with offending him, maybe he can cover the sky with one hand, at worst, he walks on his single-plank bridge, and we walk on our Yangguan Road."

Xiao Wang complained again: "As long as he is so narrow-minded, he can't make a big deal."

The king beside him has been silent all the time. In fact, he and Xiao Wang have completely different views on Qi Wei.

At the beginning, he also made preparations before entering the film and television industry, but in the end, he still paid enough tuition fees.

The complexity of the entertainment industry also made him realize that it is not so easy to mess around.

It is difficult for me to move in the circle, but Qi Wei is really like a fish in water.

He has investigated Qi Wei's record of investing in a good one.

Whether it's luck or strength, the king wants to use Qi Wei's momentum to make the Huayi Brothers better and more thoroughly integrated into the circle.

He didn't want Huayi Brothers to be treated as a big water pipe by the film and television industry.

This is also the reason why the king wants to cooperate with Qi Wei.

But now, I'm afraid there will be no chance to cooperate for a while.

Qi Wei didn't know what these people were thinking after he left, and in fact he didn't care what these people were thinking either.

When I came to the underground parking lot and came to my car, when I was about to wake up the driver, a female voice suddenly called out to me.

"Senior Sister Xu, why are you here?" Qi Wei asked in surprise.

Xu Qing looked at Qi Wei, showed her trademark dimpled smile and said, "Why, you don't want me here?"

"That's not what I meant." Qi Wei laughed and said, "Why didn't I see you just now?"

"You are a big star and a distinguished guest. Everyone is close to you, so you will naturally ignore me."

"So, you saw what happened just now?"

"Yeah." Xu Qing nodded and said with a smile, "I saw you leaving, so I came after you."

"Why do you want to be a lobbyist when you come after me?"

When Qi Wei asked this question, Xu Qing had already walked to Qi Wei's side.

She put her arms around Qi Wei's neck, looked up at Qi Wei, and said affectionately: "I am indeed here to be a lobbyist, but I want to be a sleeper even more."

He licked his lower lip seductively towards Qi Wei. (end of this chapter)
