China entertainment started from 07 fast boys

Chapter 273 Hong Kong embarrassment
The next day, Xu Yang asked Zhang Yi to take him to the place discussed yesterday, only to find that Xu Zheng and Wang Baobao were already waiting for him at the door.

"What are you waiting for here? You're not an outsider. Let's go in and talk."

After getting out of the car, Xu Yang dragged the two of them back without breaking a word. Although he could understand the feelings of the two of them, it was really too much to follow him when he went out.

Not to mention their status, it’s just that Xu Yang and Wang Baobao have known each other for four years, which is no shorter than the time they have known Liu Shishi, so they can’t let the two of them hold each other like this.

After all three people entered the box and took their seats, Wang Baobao smiled and said to Xu Yang, "I'm looking for you if I have something to do. When you're looking for someone to do something, you have to have the attitude of looking for someone to do something."

After saying that, he poured a cup of tea himself and handed it to Xu Yang. Xu Yang took the tea but said nothing.

After Wang Baobao and Xu Zheng looked at each other, Xu Zheng said: "Let's not talk about it for now. I haven't thanked you for investing in Jiantu last time. This time I will lend you flowers and offer Buddha a treat."

Hearing this, Xu Yang smiled and said, "There's no need to be so polite. I'm also happy that "Jong Tu" is a hit. At least I've made a lot of money."

"Is the film also facing funding problems this time?"

Xu Yang had no intention of playing riddles with them, and went straight to the point, talking about what Wang Baobao told him last night.

Wang Baobao saw Xu Yang directly asking about the situation, so he poked Xu Zheng and asked him to speak.

Xu Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then quickly said: "Yes, I wanted to make a series of "囧", but my old club felt that my asking price was too high, so the negotiation failed."

"Then what do you think, do you want me to invest or star?"

Xu Zheng smiled bitterly in his heart, what he was most worried about was coming.

Other people's investors are actors, but this one is better. I want to act directly.

However, he is also an outstanding graduate of the film school, so it is understandable that he wants to act in movies.

It's just that there was no role for Xu Yang in this movie from the beginning. What should Xu Zheng say about this?

Perhaps because he saw Xu Zheng's embarrassment, Xu Yang didn't make things difficult for him.

"Let's see, I won't act in the movie, and I'll make up for whatever the lack of funds is."

Xu Zheng was visibly relieved and wanted to say a few more polite words, but Wang Baobao agreed.

"This will be of great help to us. Don't worry, I won't be able to accompany you in this drama. Tell me if it's Xu Zheng."

"Ah, yes, yes." Xu Zheng looked helpless.

He felt that he still needed to bargain with Xu Yang, but he didn't expect Wang Baobao to agree so quickly, so he could only follow his words and agree.

Otherwise, Xu Guangtou's moral character is not very good, let alone his private life. It's just that later generations tricked a group of colleagues to death. This fact can be seen that this person can only share hardships but not wealth.

So Xu Yang also deliberately gave Xu Zheng a beating to avoid making him feel like he was a fad.

Although he was originally a celebrity, Baldy Xu was as famous as a few niche actors in the [-]s, but most of them were in TV series.

It was not until the release of the "囧" series that he appeared on the big screen and had a masterpiece.

After that, it became even more uncontrollable, and even starred in a movie like Medicine God that was both well-received and well-received and can stay in the history of Chinese movies.

Then it drifted away, which cannot be said to be drifting. There are different understandings from different angles.

But from the perspective of an investor like Xu Yang, Xu Zheng is definitely not a good partner, because you don't know whether he will do something outrageous after he is gone.

What?If you ask Xu Yang, is he also a TV star? He is not even as good as others. He has never starred in a movie.

At any time, if you have money, you are the uncle. Now that Xu Yang has money, he is the uncle now.

Seeing that Xu Yang had no other expression, Xu Zheng quickly told Xu Yang about part of the film's content and production plan. In the end, it was the investment issue.

"The total investment in this movie is 3000 million, and now there is still a shortfall of 2000 million."

Xu Yang nodded, and then said under the expectant gazes of the two people: "I will fill this gap, but I also have requirements."

Xu Zheng and Wang Baobao looked at each other and then asked, "What's the request?"

Xu Yang suddenly sat up straight and said: "I can help you make up for the funding gap, and I can also pay part of the publicity and distribution expenses, but I will not participate in the publicity and distribution after the production is completed."

"What you do in the end is entirely up to you. The movie was a hit, and I made money while I was there. Now that the movie is going on, I don't blame you."

The two of them were shocked for a moment after hearing this. They didn't expect Xu Yang to be so courageous.

Not only did they make up for the funding gap, they also paid part of the publicity and distribution expenses, and the price they paid was simply that Xu Yangfang would not participate in subsequent publicity and distribution.

However, this price is really a drop in the bucket for them.

Before coming, they were all prepared for the worst, and changed the script to allow Yang to add a role.

But Xu Yang just agreed, which really made them a little uncomfortable.

Perhaps, as Xu Yang said, he just wanted to make money while lying down?

However, no matter what, Xu Zheng and his colleagues achieved their goal, obtained investment, and guaranteed the autonomy of creation, which was perfect.

Two days later, Yang Ting and the legal department held a tripartite meeting with Xu Zheng and Guangguang, and together they finalized the investment in the movie "囧".

Xu Yangfang occupied 500% of the investment share with 60.00 million yuan. No additional investment will be made in the future, and the investment share remains unchanged.

Enlight’s RMB 500 million accounts for 30.00% of the investment share, and subsequent publicity expenses will be borne by Enlight.

The actual total production cost of the movie was just over 2000 million, but everyone supported it with nearly 2000 million in publicity expenses.

This is enough to show that everyone attaches great importance to "Thailand". Xu Yang is just a cheater, but the others are not cheaters.

This made Xu Yang sigh. Sure enough, no one who could prosper in the entertainment industry was simple.

They may not see the potential of "囧囧", but they still want to take a gamble because its predecessor "囧囧路" proved itself.

The investment of tens of millions does not really matter to theaters of the size of Raytheon. What they care more about is how much increase or decrease this movie can bring to their stock market.

This is why they know that their investment share is not large, but they still want others to bear the risk.

They fully approved of Xu Yang's entry, because Xu Yang invested the most and took the greatest risks.

But if the movie performs well in the end and can earn hundreds of millions at the box office, the biggest gainer will still be Ray.

After all, Xu Yang needs at least 2000 million at the box office to make back his money, but as long as the final box office of the movie is not less than [-] million, Ray will make money.

One is to get back the original investment, and the other is to make a small profit. Everyone knows what to choose.

Others laughed at me for being too crazy, but I laughed at them because they couldn't see through it. This was probably how Xu Yang felt at this time.

Others don't know the horror of "Lost in Thailand", so he still doesn't know?

The first domestic film to exceed [-] billion, directly brought the domestic film box office to the double-digit era.

With a box office of 12 billion, if you only use 500 million to get 60.00% of the investment share, you will make a profit.

Now the light and Xu Zheng are having fun, but later they will have to laugh and cry.

After seeing off the light, there was Xu Zheng and his party. Yang Ting and Xu Yang were sitting in the back seat together, and Zhang Yi, Xu Yang's manager, was driving in front.

Zhang Yi: When I became an assistant, I drove. When I was promoted to an agent, I drove. Isn’t the rest of my life in vain?
"Don't you hate Xu Zheng a little? I see you've tricked him a little bit this time."

Xu Yang, who was closing his eyes to rest, opened his eyes and said, "I'm not, I'm not, don't talk nonsense."

What a denial for three consecutive years. If Yang Ting and Xu Yang hadn't been together for five years, they might have been deceived.

"Hehe, do you think I will believe it?"

Without giving Xu Yang a chance to refute, Yang Ting was analyzing how Xu Yang tricked Xu Zheng.

"First of all, Xu Zheng is directing and acting this time. Counting the remuneration and other factors, the total is only a few million."

"In the end, no matter what the movie is, it has nothing to do with him anyway. It's equivalent to working for you for nothing."

"The other thing is, you have such a bad temper and can't afford to be early. If you spend such a large amount of money to invest in this movie, it means you are very optimistic about this movie."

"Then there is a high probability that Xu Zheng will earn money for you after being sold by you. After earning money, he will have to count it out and deliver it to you."

"If he doesn't make good money and make this movie well, then his work these past few years will be in vain and he will be kicked out of the film industry."

"So, you're still saying that you didn't make people miserable?"

Xu Yang still didn't speak, but Zhang Yi, who was driving, was speechless.

He was also present when Xu Yang was talking to Xu Zheng and Wang Baobao, and he was also present when the contract was signed today.

But why couldn't he see that his boss had tricked Bald Xu so badly? If Yang Ting hadn't analyzed the high probability, he wouldn't have known it.

Although it was almost analyzed by Yang Ting, Xu Yang never admitted that this happened.

However, it was this refusal to admit that made Yang Ting solidify her thoughts, because if Xu Yang admitted it, she would think that Xu Yang was joking.

But if it is true, Xu Yang will never speak out about such a thing, even if she and Zhang Yi are around.

Yang Ting also has some understanding of Xu Yang's temperament. She seems to be eclectic, but she has a very bottom line on some sensitive issues and will never follow the truth.

In the end, even Xu Yang himself felt that it was a bit fake, so he simply talked about other things.

"Has the concert time been set yet?"

Yang Ting was asked so abruptly, and she didn't react yet. Fortunately, she remembered some things in her mind, and she got the answer after a little thought.

"It should be in mid-October. Until the end of the concert before the Spring Festival next year, we are still communicating and discussing the cities. However, the four cities of Beijing, Magic City, Star City, Chang'an are the first to be negotiated. Let's continue to discuss the rest."

Xu Yang nodded and said, "It doesn't have to be limited to first- and second-tier cities. We can also bring out some cities that have characteristics and are well-known across the country."

Yang Ting was silent, and then she remembered these words in her heart, as well as Xu Yang's attitude.
