Chapter 280 The contest between Cheng Hao and Zhang Ziyi

After a night's rest, Qi Wei went on the road show with the crew of "That Man, That Mountain, That Dog" on the next day.

After the promotion, Qi Wei took Cheng Hao shopping.

There are no paparazzi following, no malicious onlookers, and you can enjoy the freedom that you cannot enjoy at home.

It feels so good.

This made Qi Wei couldn't help but think that he would take Yan Danchen and the others to travel abroad more in the future.

"Oh, I bought so many things. You shouldn't have indulged me so much. In fact, there are some things I don't want that much."

Seeing the obvious joy on Cheng Hao's face, Qi Wei couldn't help but laugh.

When I think about women, I always say what I mean.

But it has to be said that most women are born shopaholics. Seeing the three assistants behind him covered with large and small bags, Qi Wei was even more certain of this.

"I said that as long as you like it, I will try my best to satisfy you, not to mention that this little money is nothing to me."

"This has cost almost 300 million." Although it is in Japanese yen, it is close to 15 after conversion. Cheng Hao has shot so many advertisements, but he has not made that much so far.

Although she knew that Qi Wei's net worth had already exceeded [-] million, it didn't mean that she felt comfortable spending Qi Wei's money.

"I will pay you back the money in the future." Qi Wei's affectionate gaze was so hot that Cheng Hao couldn't help but lower his head shyly.

"I have said before that I will reimburse you for all your expenses when you come to Japan. Just think of it as a red envelope from me for filming this movie."

"How can anyone give out so many red envelopes?"

"Don't forget, you are still my woman. If you think it's too much, just show it." As he said this, Qi Wei leaned his face towards me.

Cheng Hao instantly understood what Qi Wei meant, and then kissed him with a blushing face.

"Is this enough?" Cheng Hao asked after Dragonfly poured some water.

"Of course not." After saying that, Qi Wei hugged her and gave her a passionate kiss.

After parting their lips, Qi Wei chuckled and said, "I felt a lot better after taking a bath in the hot spring yesterday. How about we go to the hot spring again tonight?"

Hearing this, Cheng Hao blushed even more. She remembered the absurdity of taking a hot spring bath with Qi Wei last night.

Ridiculous but beautiful, she finally nodded with a soft "hmm".

After returning to the hotel room, Cheng Hao briefly counted the trophies from today's shopping. When the two of them were preparing to go out to the hot springs, a guest came to visit.

"Mr. Zhang, Director Zhang, when did you come to Japan?"

The visitors were none other than Zhang Weiping and Director Zhang.

Qi Wei knew that they were coming to Japan, so Qi Wei was not too surprised.

"Just arrived today."

As soon as Zhang Weiping finished speaking, a figure came out from behind them.

"Hey! Ziyi, you're here too."

Qi Wei was somewhat surprised by Zhang Ziyi's appearance.

After all, the filming of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has already started. Zhang Ziyi knew that Li Yu was not satisfied with her. She had been "walking on thin ice" on the set and never dared to slack off.

She wanted to go to Qi Wei's first concert in Beijing, but in the end she didn't ask for leave.

So Qi Wei never thought that Zhang Ziyi would follow Zhang Dagui and the others to Japan.

"Why don't you welcome me? I finally asked Director Li Yu for leave, just to cheer for your concert."

As Zhang Ziyi said, it was not easy for her to ask Li Yu for leave, so she persuaded him through Zhang Dayuan while he was visiting the class.

"How could you not welcome him?" Qi Wei said and gave Zhang Ziyi a hug, proving his hug with his actions.

At this time, Cheng Hao was ready to come out of the room, and Zhang Ziyi also noticed her.

"I finally understand why you don't welcome me. It turns out that you are a hidden beauty in a golden house."

As he spoke, he gave Qi Wei a little elbow.

Although it didn't do any harm, it proved that she had a bit of a chewy attitude.

Qi Wei smiled and did not explain, because Qi Wei knew Zhang Ziyi's character very well, and she would not be unhappy because of this.

Besides, the relationship between the two was just a simple lover, and Qi Wei didn't need to explain to Zhang Ziyi at all.

Zhang Ziyi looked at Cheng Hao and soon showed a bright smile.

"Sister, you're fine." Zhang Ziyi smiled and walked towards Cheng Hao.

"Hello, senior sister."

Zhang Ziyi graduated from the 96th class of the Chinese Opera Department, while Cheng Hao graduated from the 97th class of the Chinese Opera Department.

The two of them have been in school at the same time for a long time, and the place where the middle school is bigger is not as big as an ordinary high school. They can't see each other without looking up. In fact, they have known each other for a long time.

Soon they started chatting and became as close as sisters.

Cheng Hao knew that Zhang Weiping and Director Zhang's sudden visit must have something important to discuss with Qi Wei, so he took Zhang Ziyi back to the room.

After welcoming Zhang Weiping and Director Zhang to the living room and sitting down, Qi Wei started chatting with them.

"Qi Wei, congratulations on the box office success of "That Man, That Mountain, That Dog." Zhang Weiping smiled and congratulated.

"This is also thanks to Mr. Zhang's help. If it weren't for your help, it would not have been so easy for my drama to be released in Japan."

Qi Wei remembered the purpose of Zhang Weiping and Director Zhang coming to Japan, and then asked: "Has "My Father and Mother" been sold?"

"We have already talked with the publisher here. They are willing to pay 150 million yuan to purchase the distribution rights here. I think there is room for improvement, so we are ready to talk again."

At the beginning, Qi Wei sold the Japanese distribution rights for 70 US dollars. According to the agreement, after the box office hits the box office, he can get up to 30 US dollars in bonuses.

In this situation, the 30 yuan is basically guaranteed. In other words, the Japanese distribution rights of "That Man, That Mountain, That Dog" were sold for 100 million yuan.

Of course, most domestic low-cost literary and artistic films cannot sell for much money. "That Man, That Mountain, That Dog" can sell 100 million dollars, which is already rare and valuable.

However, it is still far behind the 150 million yuan of "My Father and Mother".

And according to Qi Wei's estimate, "My Father and Mother" will eventually sell for 180 million to 200 million dollars.

It will be twice as high as "That Man, That Mountain, That Dog".

How is "My Father and Mother" better than "That Man, That Mountain, That Dog"?

From Qi Wei's point of view, there is just one more Director Zhang.

"It's because of your drama, otherwise I wouldn't have the confidence to negotiate with them." Zhang Weiping thanked them.

As the saying goes, people plant trees and others can enjoy the shade. The great success of "That Man, That Mountain, That Dog", as "My Father and Mother", which also has a theme of love and family, has naturally been more favored by Japanese publishers.

It can also be sold at a better price.

"Mr. Zhang, you are helping yourself. If you hadn't helped me with the publishers, if I had found them myself, they would not have been able to offer a high price. If they had not offered a high price, they would not have been as dedicated to publicity as they are now. They would not have been so good. I’m afraid we won’t be able to achieve such a high box office by promoting this drama.”

"Brother Qi, you are still so good at talking." This was followed by a loop, which even made Director Zhang beside him laugh.

Qi Wei also laughed. After everyone laughed, Qi Wei asked: "Mr. Zhang and Director Zhang came here this time. They must have other things to do."

"I still know how to hide everything from you, Brother Qi."

Zhang Weiping continued: "In addition to selling movies, I came to Japan this time to try to see if I could get some investment for "Heroes". What a coincidence, an investor happened to find us and wanted to give us this movie." Invest a little." "How much are they willing to invest?" Qi Wei asked.

"At least this amount of investment." After speaking, Zhang Weiping stretched out three fingers towards Qi Wei.

"3000?"

Zhang Weiping smiled and nodded.

"Okay, at this price."

Zhang Weiping shook his head and said: "It's not possible, it's just right. In fact, we still have room for negotiation and hope to get a higher price. After all, Japan likes movies with themes like "Hero" very much and is willing to Spend a lot of money.”

Upon hearing this, Qi Wei suddenly realized.

He knows very well how interested the Japanese audience is in domestic costume films, especially historical films.

For example, director Chen's "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin", most of the investment in this movie came from Japan, and it was also released in Japan.

How much do you think this movie made at the box office in Japan?

18 billion yen!
You read that right, this bloody movie that was criticized in China sold 18 billion yen at the box office in Japan.

Almost 9 million.

In fact, many movies with poor reputation in China are very popular in Japan. The most typical ones are Wu Baige's two "Red Cliff".

Although "Hero" is a martial arts film with a bit of history, in the final analysis it is also the story of the First Emperor.

It is normal for investors in Japan to be interested.

"Then how much investment can you get here?" Qi Wei asked.

Generally speaking, investment in commercial blockbusters like "Hero" is definitely not limited to domestic.

After all, the current domestic film market will definitely not be able to recover the cost.

When attracting investment from abroad, generally, the investment is to buy out the issuance rights of the corresponding market.

For example, Director Chen's "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin", Japanese capital invested in this drama, and they took away Japan's distribution rights, and Japan's income has nothing to do with domestic investors.

Since the investment is to buy out the issuance rights, naturally the higher the better.

"I'm not sure about this either, it's just"

Zhang Weiping looked at Qi Wei, organized his words a little and then said: "They talked about you when we first negotiated with them. They seemed to be very interested in you and said that if they could bring you, they could make more suggestions. High offer”

"why me?"

This surprised Qi Wei. After all, Qi Wei's influence is mainly in China, and is relatively limited in Japan, especially in film and television.

Although "That Man, That Mountain, That Dog" is very popular now, the movie itself is still popular, and the bonus to the actors is not as big as imagined.

"I don't know about this, but they named you, so..."

Qi Wei couldn't help but frown, but he couldn't remember the reason for a while.

"I'm going to have a concert in two days, and I don't want to be distracted by it just yet."

"We understand, so our next negotiation will be after the concert."

"Okay, you will notify me when the time comes and I will attend."

After all, "Hero" is also Qi Wei's career. If he needs his help, Qi Wei will definitely shoulder the responsibility.

"Then it's settled."

Zhang Weiping glanced at Director Zhang beside him, then smiled and said to Qi Wei: "I'm done talking about my matters, but Director Zhang still has something to ask you about."

As soon as Zhang Weiping finished speaking, Director Zhang suddenly changed his expression and reprimanded Qi Wei with a straight face: "You guy, it's okay for you to act in "Swordsman" by yourself. Since you are still working as a lobbyist for that bearded man, I will answer you now for Ziyi, she will not act in that crappy TV series."

"."

Zhang Ziyi, who was in the bedroom, naturally didn't know about the negotiations outside. She was chatting with Cheng Hao at the moment, and from time to time she would glance at the "trophies" that were almost piled all over the floor.

"Qi Wei, you are so generous!" She felt really disgusted.

After all, she also liked to go shopping lavishly like this, but Qi Wei accompanied her and did not spend so much money on her at once.

But so what.

After finishing a topic about movies, Zhang Ziyi suddenly asked Cheng Hao: "Forgive me for asking, are you and Qi Wei lovers?"

"If I said no, would you believe it?" Cheng Hao asked with a smile.

Zhang Ziyi naturally didn't believe it.

Not to mention anything else, Zhang Ziyi found a lot of interesting things from the shopping bags that were almost piled up in the room.

Pretty good at playing.

"Then do you know that in fact, he is not only a woman like you? For example, there are several girls in our class who have relationships with him. You should have heard of it."

Hearing this, Cheng Hao's expression did not change much. Her charming eyes looked directly at Zhang Ziyi, and she suddenly showed a bright smile.

"That should include you."

After all, Zhang Ziyi had already filmed the MV for Qi Wei's first solo album, and the two also collaborated on Lao Mouzi's "My Father and Mother", and Qi Wei's new junior high school also sang a song together.

So it is not difficult to guess their relationship at all.

Now that Cheng Hao said so, Zhang Ziyi admitted generously: "Yes, including me."

Cheng Hao's mood didn't change at all, he smiled and said: "So you don't care about this matter, why should I care about it?"

Zhang Ziyi was speechless for a moment.

Because the two had had contact before, Zhang Ziyi had a preliminary understanding of Cheng Hao's character.

She didn't think Cheng Hao would be as infinitely tolerant of Qi Wei as Zhang Tong in her class.

Not caring is simply impossible.

It can only show that this woman is not simple, she is a difficult opponent.

"That means you think we are the same kind of people." Zhang Ziyi said.

"Maybe, at least we have the same hobbies and like the same person."

But Zhang Ziyi smiled and shook his head, denying: "No, we are different, at least you are not as willing to spare as we are."

Under Cheng Hao's confused gaze, Zhang Ziyi continued: "We have served him together, but you definitely haven't. After all, you are still very naive."

In fact, so far, Zhang Ziyi and Qi Wei have only been one-on-one opponents, which is not what she said. She said this mainly to gain the upper hand in talking to Cheng Hao.

At first, as she expected, she saw a trace of displeasure in Cheng Hao's expression.

But suddenly Cheng Hao burst out laughing.

"If he wants to, I don't care, but he has never mentioned it, and I haven't thought about it in this regard."

Cheng Hao reached out and hooked Zhang Ziyi's chin, "But now your words have inspired me. I think this idea is good. I want to give it a try, but I need a helper. I wonder if my senior is willing to help me."

Cheng Hao, who was mainly anti-customer, quickly gained the upper hand.
