People in China Entertainment, bring capital into the group at the beginning

Chapter 141 "Wolf Warrior 2"

After leaving the crew of "Passing Through Your World", Chen Zhibin and Bai Baihe parted ways soon, and the other party will go to film the domestic suspense film "Kidnapper" directed by Xu Jinglei.

Regarding this movie, Chen Zhibin still learned about it from Bai Baihe's mouth. The impression of his previous life was not very deep, and he could even say that he didn't have it. Presumably, the box office of the movie should not be too high, so he didn't have much interest.

As for "Monster Hunt 2", which Bai Baihe continued to star in later, although the box office was quite high, the fans' reputation was even worse than that of the first film. Even the addition of the best actor Liang Chaowei couldn't change the fact that it was a poor film for money.

Movies can be invested, but there is definitely no need to star in them!
In addition, the male protagonist Song Tianyin played by Jing Boran received a good response. Although Chen Zhibin is more handsome than him, there is no need to be blamed for this bad movie. After all, everyone should say that it was because of the replacement of the male protagonist.

Therefore, Chen Zhibin doesn't consider this movie directly, not to mention Bai Baihe's other works. In comparison, he still thinks "Wolf Warrior 2" directed by Wu Jing is more delicious. After all, this is a milestone in the box office of domestic movies. Even if he was surpassed later, his influence cannot be denied.

As early as last year, Chen Zhibin had his eye on this project, when "Wolf Warrior 1" had just been released.

The estimated investment of the movie was about 8000 million yuan at the beginning, but after filming, it exceeded nearly half of the funds. The total investment amount was about 1.5 million yuan, but unfortunately, the final box office was only more than [-] million yuan.

Although it cannot be said to have lost money, it is true that it did not earn much.

Regarding Wu Jing's continued increase of funds to prepare "Wolf Warrior 2", many investors are holding a wait-and-see attitude from the bottom of their hearts.

After all, the military films at that time were not particularly prosperous, and the box office was at such a high level at best.

Unlike the later "Operation Red Sea", "Eight Hundred", "Changjin Lake" and other military-themed film works, a hundred flowers bloomed.

It's not that Wu Jing can't be trusted, the key is that the current film market is like this, the more money invested in military films, the less likely it is to recover the cost.

However, this just gave Chen Zhibin an opportunity. The Abin Venture Capital Company under his name started out as a venture capital investment company and has basically been involved in most industries. Naturally, he will not let go of such a good investment opportunity.

Not to mention that this allowed Chen Zhibin to have some voice in the crew, just a ten-fold increase in the rate of return was already attractive enough.

The initial estimated investment of "Wolf Warrior 2" is about 3000 million yuan, and Chen Zhibin directly took out 7000 million yuan to join in, which is already considered a big one among the dozen or so investors. After all, they shared the remaining [-] million yuan collectively. And there is also Wu Jing's share of it.

Although with Chen Zhibin's foresight, he can definitely invest a higher share, but after spending so long in the domestic investment circle, he still knows that some benefits cannot be monopolized by himself, and he must learn to share them.

People who only want to eat alone may be able to eat and earn a lot of money at once, but they will not last long in the circle.

Among these investors, Chen Zhibin still knows quite a few, such as the son of the richest man, Wang Saicong, who is Wanda's son-in-law. The film scheduling rate in the early stage is definitely no problem.

Don't say anything special, at least it won't be hindered.

In addition, there is also Gao Yalin who plays Xia Xue, Xia Yu, and Liu Xing's father Xia Donghai in "A Family Has Children". The other party has also made achievements in the investment industry in recent years, such as "Wolf Warrior 2" and In the Name of the People.

When investing in "In the Name of the People" in the previous life, Gao Yalin himself accounted for 40.00% of the shares.

As the largest investor, and it is a sensitive anti-corruption subject, he was so nervous that he dared not go to bed for ten days and a half months, for fear of being kicked off by his wife. drifted.

Fortunately, after the show was broadcast, the ratings continued to rise, and it even became a popular national drama. Gao Yalin and several other investors finally felt relieved.

In that drama, Chen Zhibin's venture capital company also participated, but the proportion of investment was very small, less than one-third of that of "Wolf Warrior 2".

Of course, the current investment share of "Wolf Warrior 2" is not the final proportion, because anyone who has participated in the investment of "Wolf Warrior 1" basically knows that the investment funds for the second part will definitely not stop at this.

If there is no accident, after the filming officially starts, this amount will continue to increase. As for how much it will increase, it will depend on how Wu Jing struggles.

After the filming of some film and television dramas, it is expected that there may still be some remaining investment, which will be returned to the investors, but this does not exist at all in Wu Jing, and it would be good not to continue to add more. It was like this when filming "Spike Fang" .

Thinking back to the original "Spike Fang" that lost tens of millions of dollars, this was the most speechless loss for the producer, and it was also the best time Wu Jing played in the film.

"Ip Man" next door hit ten each, and Wu Jing hit one hundred at a time.

This is director Wu Jing's debut film, but it almost became the end of his directorial career. From 2008 to 2015, it took eight years before Wu Jing had the opportunity to find someone to invest in his second film. , It is enough to prove how miserable the previous film made the producer.

A movie is notorious, a movie is not satisfactory, and a movie is a comeback. From then on, he started a movie life like a cheating model. Wu Jing can be regarded as a person who has completely experienced ups and downs in the director and actor industry.

But now with Chen Zhibin, no matter how much Wu Jing struggles, he will definitely choose to continue to add more. After all, the money invested now will be directly returned to him after the movie is released in theaters. In addition, it is not an exaggeration to say that the benefits in other aspects are dozens of times.

He couldn't bear to let his children not be tied to wolves. Chen Zhibin would not care about this little money if he could achieve his current achievements. Otherwise, even if he had the ability of prophets, he could only watch others eat meat, and he could only silently drink soup beside him.

With the rich and powerful Abin Ventures joining in, the role of Zhuo Yifan in "Wolf Warrior 2" fell on Chen Zhibin's head without any accident.

Of course, Wu Jing still considered Wang Sicong at the beginning, because at that time Chen Zhibin had only played Zhang Xianzong in "Wuxin Master".

In addition, Chen Zhibin is the boss of Abin Venture Capital Company, and he didn't take the initiative to bring capital into the group, so he must have to think about it.

After being rejected by Principal Wang, Wu Jing immediately went to find a certain little fresh meat who was very popular at the time. When he was asked for a huge amount of remuneration, he even called to discuss with Chen Zhibin to see what he thought of.

If the investor agrees to invest more in traffic stars, it is not impossible for him to consider it, after all, it is to better guarantee the box office of the movie.

Small fresh meat and wonderful plot, double insurance.

Regarding this, Chen Zhibin naturally disagreed a hundred times. Even if he continued to invest and increase the amount, it was definitely not for the sake of inviting Xiao Xianrou.

What's more, this is his role. The reason why he didn't say anything at first was because he wanted to see Wu Jing's disappointment after running around.

At that time, when he stood up and recommended himself, the meaning would definitely be different. After all, the former was just icing on the cake, while the latter was a timely gift.

Facing Wu Jing's probing and questioning at that time, Chen Zhibin sternly refused: "Impossible, I have spare money, but it's not a fault, spending so much money to hire a small fresh meat to help out, it's better to use it for serious shooting Above, at least the quality of the film can be seen by everyone.”

"As expected of Boss Chen, I really have seen it!" Wu surprised and responded with a smile: "Heroes see the same thing, and I think so too!"

The story is still developing according to the original track. Just when Wu Jing was at a loss, Zhang Han, who had been looking for an opportunity to transform, took the initiative to send it to the door.

But this time there is Chen Zhibin as an investor candidate, even if the other party voluntarily lowers his salary, Wu Jing will not settle for the second best choice.

Therefore, Zhang Han, who was full of confidence, was rejected. This was the first time he was frustrated on the road of exercise, but it should not be the last.

Chen Zhibin felt that Zhang Han should thank himself, after all, it was a good job for him!
At that time, "Charlotte Annoyance" was released and became the dark horse of the 2016 National Day. Chen Zhibin became popular with the role of Yuan Hua, and Wu Jingdang took the initiative to invite him without hesitation.
