Chapter 1015 The Correct Place to Flatter
The dinner table.

As the topic deepened, Han Sanping quickly realized a problem.

Even though there were five people having dinner, except for himself who had not given in, everyone else present was on Xiangyang's side.

He understood Little John and Bea Shaffer.

Yu Dong's lively thoughts are not in vain after all these years of dealings with him.

"Since everyone thinks it's feasible, I'll give it a try." In the end, he simply took advantage of the situation.

What Xiangyang said just now is also correct.

It's just a matter of having a chat with the censor. It's not like he hasn't done this before.

In the past, when it came to difficult scripts like these, he would usually give himself the title of “executive producer” to provide protection.

Let’s not talk about things far away, let alone Hong Kong movies.

Take Ning Hao’s “No Man’s Land” as an example.

The film started production as early as 2009 and was completed.

It was originally scheduled to be released in 2010.

But the reason why it has not yet hit theaters is very simple, because some content still needs to be adjusted.

However, no matter how controversial this movie is during the internal review period, it will still meet the audience.

Because of the script, it passed the review.

As for obtaining the dragon mark, it is nothing more than a process of talking.

During this period, many external factors will also have a great impact.

What Xiang Yang proposed can indeed provide great help in the review of the script and the finished film.

"Okay, since President Han has agreed." Seeing that he finally agreed, Xiang Yang also breathed a sigh of relief, "Rang, you should finalize the script plan with President Yu as soon as possible, and then ask President Han to help review it."

The script must be polished by someone.

The actors also need to be carefully considered.

And to be honest, the director is also very crucial.

Zhang Mouzi, who has an appointment with Hermès Film Investment Company, definitely cannot do this. He is busy with "Blood Battle at Wenkou Mountain" and definitely does not have the time to be responsible for another movie.

He himself is not suitable for this type of movie.

Ning Hao was not idle either.

Since the two directors that Xiangyang was familiar with were not available, he had to look for someone else.

The task of recommending directors was given to Han Sanping and Yu Dong.

They are experts in this area.

Action guide
It takes more than one meal to finalize these details.

After the dinner, Xiangyang refused Han Sanping and Yu Dong's offer to send him home. He hadn't been back to Beijing for a while, so he got in the same car with Little John and Bea Schaffer.

"Xiang, how much are you prepared to contribute?" He waved goodbye to Han Sanping and the others, then Little John turned around and asked, "Do you want me to hire a producer so I can protect you?"

"Let's wait for the script to come out first, then sit down and discuss it." Xiang Yang emphasized that this matter cannot be rushed.

Market share requires resources and money to gain.

He doesn't have much spare money now.

"You should keep in touch with Mr. Yu. I think China Film Group's support for this project is limited."

"Yeah, I understand." Little John nodded.

He could also see everything that happened at the dinner table.

Old Han agreed to what he wanted to do only reluctantly, and when it came time to pay out real money, he would definitely have his concerns.

This is a bit like his father, who is always cautious when doing things.

"Your dad is not being cautious, he is thinking carefully." Xiangyang couldn't help laughing when he heard it.

Everyone is like you, selling WhatsApp stocks at will and donating Bitcoin at will.

It's refreshing.

But what happened afterwards?

"I don't like what you said." Little John said angrily, "Can you please stop talking about WhatsApp? Don't forget that you are counting on me to help you with the movie."

"Okay, I won't mention it." Xiangyang agreed.

"Boss, if you need help with funds, I can lend you money." Bi Shaffer, who was driving, turned around and said during the break in the traffic light.

As Xiangyang's assistant, she knew that Xiangyang's cash flow was not sufficient recently.

In the discussion at the dinner table just now, neither Xiangyang nor Little John mentioned the word "Hermes Film Investment Company".

That means Xiangyang plans to finance this film himself.

She has no interest in investing in movies.

I also didn't understand why Xiangyang changed his usual practice and invested in the movie with his own money.

But if the boss needs it, she is willing to support him as she is making money with him.

Even if I lose, it doesn’t matter.

Because you will definitely make it back later.

"Haha, if I really have no money in the future, it won't be too late for you to lend me money." Xiangyang laughed. How could he possibly take Bi Shafer's money?

According to information obtained by Little John, Weinstein hopes to raise $5000 million in production costs to develop "The Equalizer".

This is still based on the prop production costs in Hollywood and the high actor expenses.

After deducting these, we shot the Chinese version.

Roughly $2000 million to $3000 million should be enough to complete the filming.

"Tomorrow morning, please help me make an appointment with Mr. Ma from Alibaba. I want to meet him as soon as possible."

"You're going to take my money, right?" Little John originally wanted to watch the fun, but fearing he would miss out on a rare opportunity to make money, he asked immediately.

"Your money is even less appropriate."

Xiangyang waved his hand.

Once the project is established, the clothing design will definitely be handed over to TJ under HYS Design.

After the movie is released, the subsequent online audio-visual copyright will definitely be assigned to Bilibili, in which Hermès Film Investment Company holds a certain stake.

Let Little John be given the title of producer so that it will be easier to explain to the group.

But let him invest money too
"Don't worry, if we make money by then, I won't let you work for nothing." Xiang Yang had the face of a black-hearted boss, "You understand the Chinese film market better than I do. Have you forgotten "Warring States"? " "Xiang!" Little John clenched his back teeth even tighter.

Now, Bi Shafer, who was still disappointed, was no longer disappointed.

"Please worry about the script. If you can get it done before June, I'll give you a big gift." Xiangyang patted his friend's shoulder.

"Warring States" has been waiting for so long, and it is finally going to be released.

Isn't that a good thing?

"How big?"

"Bigger than you think." Xiangyang grinned.

Starting from April, the American magazine "Wired" will combine with the currency summit in Shanghai, China in March to introduce Bitcoin to the public on a large scale.

This is also the first time it has truly entered the public eye.

As various media outlets rushed to report on the event, Bitcoin's value continued to rise in just two months.

The historical high will reach the $30 mark.

This price seems to be far from the tens of thousands of dollars a bitcoin can cost in later generations, but the increase is an astonishing 3000%.

Xiangyang decided to take advantage of this opportunity to cash out.

Because Bitcoin will soon enter a low period again due to various factors, you can look for opportunities to buy back the Bitcoin you sold at that time.

Excluding the 19 bitcoins donated by Little John, the total number should be around .

If sold at the best price, it would be at least 570 million US dollars.

He just hoped that little John wouldn't cry when he received the gift.

After all, 2 bitcoins are worth...
Of course, it is impossible to really get 570 million US dollars. Large-scale selling will definitely cause price fluctuations.

But Little John is a money-grubber who only looks at the peak.
"If you can help me find a way to get back the shares of WhatsApp, it will be the greatest gift." Little John muttered miserably.

Xiangyang pretended not to hear.

With this cash coming in, there should be no need to worry about getting a share of the Chinese version of "The Equalizer".

He doesn't pursue much market share.

1/5 or 1/4 would be enough.

After all, there is a risk of investment failure before the movie is released, which is different from investing in a company based on your understanding of the future.

Still need to be cautious
"Boss Han, take care."

Yu Dong didn't finish his work for the day after sending off Zou Yang, Little John and Bi Shaffer with Han Sanping.

It was not until the car disappeared from his sight that he felt his body lighten.

He took a deep breath, got into his car, took out the mineral water and took a big sip, then took out his cell phone and made a call.

"Old Wang, I have good news for you!"

Xiangyang wants to invest in a movie himself, and he's aiming for a big production, so of course he has to share this with Wang Changtian first.

"What did you say?!" Wang Changtian, who was still in Bangkok, almost couldn't believe his ears after hearing it.

First of all, the news came quite suddenly.

He was still with Xiangyang yesterday and didn't hear any news.

Secondly, he believed that he also understood Xiangyang.

Although he is not in the entertainment industry, he supports Liu Xixi's investment in "Time and Space" and "Lost in Thailand" and even comes to support her in person.

But it is still very different from what he meant by personally taking action.

"Why would I lie to you? I almost thought I heard it wrong just now." Yu Dong swore that he would never joke about this matter. "Tell me, why did Mr. Xiang suddenly change his temper?"

"This..." Wang Changtian hesitated.

It's hard to say.

may be.
Short of money?

"That's very possible." Yu Dong thought about it seriously.

It seems like a paradox that rich people lack money.

But if you ask him, the CEO of Bona, whether he has money, he will definitely say "lack of money".

There is never enough money to spend.

Especially look at where the flowers are.

For example, compared to the movies nowadays that require an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars, based on what he knew about Xiangyang's own industries, this amount of money was not enough.

"Perhaps after experiencing "Time and Space", he is also optimistic about the return rate of film investment," Wang Changtian analyzed.

Liu Xixi invested 700 million in this movie.

The final dividend will be around 2000-2500 million.

It has more than tripled.

Yu Dong, who also earned more than three times the profit from "Time and Space", asked: "Do we want a red envelope?"

"That's not necessary." Wang Changtian said with a smile, "I think, instead of paying a meaningless red envelope, we should make the movie that Mr. Xiang proposed. What do you think?"

"Haha, I've been waiting for you to say that." Yu Dong said generously that this was certain.

That’s right, how much can you put in a red envelope?

The 800 million that Jiang Wenbao gave to Emperor Entertainment Group's boss Yang is not a small amount.

But if I force this little money on Xiangyang, he probably won't be interested.

But it’s different now that the Chinese version of “The Equalizer” has been completed.

“Did you guys discuss how much money to invest?”

"No."

"How about this, we two families pay a little more and suffer a little loss in share."

"Boss Wang, you used the word 'suffer a loss' very skillfully."

"Mr. Yu, let me be honest with you. I actually wanted to give up a larger share of Lost in Thailand."

"How about we sign a minimum guarantee agreement with Mr. Xiang?"

"."
