China Entertainment's whatever you want

Chapter 127 The Great Sage and the Devil Boy

The total box office of [Detective Chinatown] is 10.23 billion, according to the contract before the movie was released.

After deducting the share of theaters and publicity parties, the final producer can get a total of 35%, a total of 3.58 million yuan.

【Wei Mingxia】accounted for 70% of the investment, with an income of 2.5 million yuan.

The money will be transferred to Gu Wei's corporate account through China Film's account within three months.

After repaying the copyright mortgage loan from the Bank of Communications, there is still 2.1 million yuan left.

Invested 4900 million, and in more than a year, it has doubled by 5 times and earned more than 2 million.

This return ratio is not bad, of course, it is incomparable with the income of investing in [ByteDance] and buying and selling Bitcoin.

But apart from the monetary benefits, through this movie, Gu Wei's company has gained a firm foothold in the film and television industry, and has established cooperative relationships with China Film, Light, and Wanda, which will play a vital role in future development.

Gu Wei's own gains in fame are incomparably huge.

As a star, fame is wealth.

Early the next morning, Gu Wei carefully got up from Zeng Li's bed.

The sleeping beauty was not disturbed.

The celebration party ended last night, and Zeng Li gave him a wink when he was leaving, so Gu Wei, who was the last to leave, drove the car directly downstairs to Li's sister's house.

How could he not be satisfied with the big sister's invitation.

Gu Wei is convinced that he is the one who really understands how good his sister is.

One word, Run~
He walked out of the room with his hands and feet, cleaned himself up briefly, opened the refrigerator, and looked for something to make breakfast.

After a while, when Zeng Li came out of the bedroom wearing a sexy pajamas and breathing heavily, he saw Gu Wei in front of the dining room making breakfast in an apron.

When I walked up to him, there were eggs, hot milk, bread, and a plate of vegetable salad on the table.

A bright smile appeared on Zeng Li's face. This scene brought her more spiritual satisfaction than last night's physical stimulation.

In her opinion, Gu Wei's existence is simply perfect.

With a handsome appearance, a young and strong body, a gentle personality who knows how to care for others, and most importantly, he is extremely talented.

"It's done, go brush your teeth, let's have dinner together."

Gu Wei looked at her and said with a smile.

After a while, both of them sat down and began to eat the early morning love breakfast.

"Sister Li, have you finished filming the TV series in Jinmen before?"

"Immediately, it is estimated that it will be finished in more than half a month."

"So what's your next plan?"

"I have been approached for several scripts, including female supporting roles and leading female characters."

Speaking of which, she put down the bread in her hand, and said with a little emotion

"Gu Wei, thank you very much for asking me to shoot [Detective Chinatown]. After the film was successful, many crews came to me.

It felt like my career had a second life. "

"Sister Li, what is there to talk about about our relationship~"

He took a sip of milk, licked his lips, and then rolled his eyes

"Uh~ If you have to thank me"

Standing up and bending down, he whispered something in Zeng Li's ear.

After Gu Wei finished speaking, he sat down and continued to eat. Zeng Li just smiled after hearing what he said, and did not speak. He looked at Gu Wei with gentle eyes, and the meaning in it was self-evident.

After breakfast and spending some time with Sister Li, Gu Wei came to the company.

"President Gu, Director Tian has arrived.

Waiting in the reception room. "

Just arrived at the company, Yang Liwen came up and said.

It seems that Tian Xiaopeng is really in a hurry. It is estimated that the crew will not be able to get any money out.

Gu Wei didn't hesitate, and went directly to the reception room.

"Director Tian, ​​I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long."

"Where, Mr. Gu, I came too early."

"Director Tian is in such a hurry, I won't talk nonsense, let's watch the movie first."

Several people came to a small screening room in the company.

With the expansion of [Wei Mingxia]'s company scale, after renting an entire office building, the available space in the company has been greatly expanded, and it looks more like what a large company should have.

I followed Tian Xiaopeng to watch the clips of the finished animated film he brought.

Gu Wei was relieved, it was basically the same as the "The Return of the Great Sage" he had seen in the past, but it was a bit rough and the story was incomplete.

After the screening, director Tian Xiaopeng was still anxiously waiting for Gu Wei's reply.

"Director Tian, ​​how much investment is left to complete the production of [The Return of the Great Sage]?"

Gu Wei's words were like the sounds of nature in Tian Xiaopeng's ears.

He suppressed the excitement in his heart, thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said

"This film has already invested 4000 million yuan in production costs. I estimate that in order to complete the film and achieve the effect in my mind, at least another 2000 million yuan will be invested."

Seeing that Gu Wei didn't reply, Tian Xiaopeng hurriedly said, "It's really not possible, and less rendering will be done in the later stage, 1500 million should be enough."

Hearing this, Gu Wei raised his head and looked at Tian Xiaopeng

"Director Tian, ​​your film is very good, it gave me a different shock, I have never seen a domestic animation film that can be made to this level.

I voted for 2000 million. Don’t save in the later stage. If you don’t have enough money, come to me again, and I can continue to invest more. "

"Thank you~ Mr. Gu, thank you for supporting domestic animation films."

Seeing that the investment was obtained so easily, Tian Xiaopeng still felt a little unreal in his heart, and then he felt great gratitude to Gu Wei.

It is enough to have a confidant in life, he feels that at this moment Gu Wei is his confidant of Tian Xiaopeng, the confidant of domestic animation films.

With financial support, I can finally fulfill my dream for many years.

Later, under the arrangement of Zhao Mingcheng, the company signed an investment agreement with director Tian Xiaopeng.

The first investment of 500 million will be transferred to the crew's account in the next few days, and the rest will be transferred in two batches of 3 million and 500 million within three months.

"By the way, Director Tian, ​​I heard that there is a young director named 'Jiaozi' in your animation film industry, and he owns an animation studio called 'Jiao Keli'."

After signing the contract, Gu Wei shook hands with Tian Xiaopeng, pretending to ask a question unintentionally.

"Mr. Gu, you are talking about Yang Yu, right? His studio is called 'Jiaokeli'."

Tian Xiaopeng replied immediately.

"I've seen his animated movie [Hit, Hit a Big Watermelon] before, and it's very interesting. Could it be convenient for Director Tian to introduce it?"

Gu Wei asked with a smile.

"No problem, Mr. Gu, I'm very close to Yang Yu, I'll send you my contact information later, and then I'll talk to him again."

After getting the investment, Tian Xiaopeng's whole body became brighter, and he was not as cautious and depressed as he had seen at the beginning.

"Then thank you Director Tian."

Gu Wei smiled even more happily.

'Dumpling' Yang Yu is the director of the original space-time [Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World], and his studio 'Jiao Keli' is also the predecessor of Cocoa Bean animation produced by [Magic Boy].

But they are still unknown, just a small animation studio with a few employees.

Before the success of the domestic animated film "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage", many people in the industry were still generating electricity for love, because doing this would most likely lose money.

No one is optimistic about domestic animation films, and no audience pays for them.

It wasn't until the box office of "The Great Sage" sold 9.56 million yuan that domestic film and television companies suddenly discovered that animated movies can also sell so much money.

So everyone invested in the development one after another, and a series of domestic animated films such as [Magic Boy], [Jiang Ziya], and [Yang Jian] will appear in the subsequent market.

It can be said that "The Return of the Great Sage" has really opened up the domestic animation film market and revitalized the entire industry of animation film production.

After sending Tian Xiaopeng away, Gu Wei called Zhao Mingcheng to the office.

"Here is the contact information, you go to contact this 'Dumpling' animation studio.

The boss' name is Yang Yu, and he told him that we will invest [-] million yuan to shoot a blockbuster animation made by Chinese people.

Ask him if he would like to bring his studio team on board.

You register a new animation company, and all animation films will be produced under the name of the new company in the future.

Tell Yang Yu that if he is willing to bring a team to join the new company, as a technical talent, he can give him [-]% of the shares. "

After thinking for a while, Gu Wei said again.

"Tell him about our investment in [The Return of the Great Sage], and don't let them treat us as liars."

"Understood, Mr. Gu, I'll do it right away. I believe he has no reason to refuse our generous terms."

After Zhao Mingcheng left, Gu Wei sat in the office for a while and looked at some company accounting sheets handed over by his assistant.

After watching for a while, manager Yang Liwen knocked on the door and came in.

"Mr. Gu, the brands you endorsed last year are about to expire, and they all called us to ask about our contract renewal.

Some other brand owners have also come to your door, intending to ask you to be their spokesperson. "

Yang Liwen took out a stack of papers and handed it to Gu Wei.

When I took it over and took a look, I was looking for detailed information on the manufacturer and product he endorsed, and the quotation for his endorsement fee.

"How did you quote the prices for last year's companies?"

At the beginning of 2012, Gu Wei signed the endorsement contracts of Colgate, Semir, Joyoung Soymilk Maker, Liushen, and Rejoice. At that time, Gu Wei was just a fledgling, and the filming of "Xiu Chun Dao" was over, and he was a little famous in the circle. .

The average endorsement fee of the 5 companies is less than 200 million, and Gu Wei signed it for one year.

Although the money is small, Gu Wei is quite satisfied with the endorsement of these brands.

They are mainly old brands, and the quality of the products can stand the test. There is no need for Gu Wei, the spokesperson, to take the blame for the products. After the endorsement, apart from taking some promotional photos and small advertising videos, there is nothing to do at ordinary times, and the money is easy to earn. .

"The quotation is basically between 500 million and 700 million a year, and if it is signed for two years, it can reach up to 1500 million.

When a new manufacturer comes to us, it is basically the same quotation, and if it is lower than this, I directly refuse it. "

Yang Liwen said with some excitement.

"Mr. Gu, the current market price of your endorsement fees is already very close to the price of domestic first-line stars."

Gu Wei flipped through the list in his hand, and looked up at the manager.

"It's only now, when the so-called 'Four Returnees' come back at the end of this year, domestic entertainment has opened up the era of traffic, and celebrity endorsement fees will continue to rise. '

"The few companies from last year can continue to cooperate, these few companies can join in, and the others can be ignored.

The endorsement contract is still signed for one year. "

Gu Wei flipped through all of them, took out a few and handed them to Yang Liwen.

The new endorsements are Lay's Potato Chips, Yida Chewing Gum, Baicaowei, Master Kong Iced Tea, Mosen Glasses, and Bosideng, several well-known big-name manufacturers.

"After signing the contract, discuss it with the manufacturer. It is best to shoot the advertisement in Shanghai."

After confirming the endorsement with the agent, Gu Wei flew back to Shanghai that night.

Although Gu Wei is not around, Yang Liwen, as an agent, has his own authorization and can sign the endorsement contract on his behalf.

The 11 confirmed endorsements received a total of 6500 million endorsement fees.

This is because Gu Weiyou was selected as the best, and he passed a lot of small factories that seemed to have a lot of money but were not well-known.

Moreover, he signed a one-year contract. Stars in the industry usually sign endorsements for two years. Manufacturers are willing to bet on the star's subsequent development, and stars are willing to make more money at a time.

So as long as Gu Wei relaxes his requirements a little bit, one small goal at a time is no longer a problem.

These are the benefits brought to him by the growing fame of "Tang Detective" after its release.

The receipt of this money, together with the return of box office proceeds from [Tang Detective] in the near future, will make Gu Wei's company's cash flow extremely abundant.

He also has to consider some other investments or consumption.
