Full-time actor

Chapter 261 [88] The job of giving money!

The backstage of the Chinese Theater.

Chen Yu and Tian Youliang sat opposite each other, while Liu Yifei sat aside and played with her mobile phone. Tian Youliang also knew the relationship between the two.

"Teacher Tian, ​​there is definitely a market for the play "I'll screw it for you if you want to eat mahua"!"

Chen Yu said there with certainty. Although Tian Youliang's face was very happy when he heard others praise his work, he also knew that if you just listen to some words, maybe they are flattering you? !

It has to be really implemented!

"Then look, can you... help me perform a few scenes?"

As a teacher of Chinese opera, Tian Youliang was really embarrassed to be asked to say these words, and his face felt hot after he said it.

He really doesn't know how to ask for help.

If he had always been able to get into trouble, how could he have ended up like this thanks to his circle of classmates?

It was the two partners who saw that the company was really unable to expose the problem, so they asked him to go back to China Theater to think of a solution. The only thing Tian Youliang could think of was to ask Chen Yu to help perform a few plays of "I Want to Eat Twist Now I'll Twist It for You". Plays the male lead Wang Dong.

This is how he is currently confident that he can turn the situation around.

Tian Youliang thought he was hallucinating, but it wasn't until he saw Liu Yifei's expression that he was sure that he had heard correctly. Chen Yu...actually agreed.

Chen Yu remembered.

"Yifei can also act!"

But Chen Yu didn't answer him, but Tian Youliang thought about it and felt a little embarrassed: "Personally, I completely agree. Anyway, I have no objection to financing. If you have money, you can rent other theaters, right?"

"Teacher Tian, ​​have you ever thought about changing the theater?"

Tian Youliang felt a little embarrassed after being told by Chen Yu.

Although Chen Yu didn't know the names of the three founders of Happy Mahua, he had heard some gossip. It seemed that the shares of Happy Mahua had been resold several times, and he didn't know whether it was Tian Youliang or two other people.

"is it?"

"Then I'll help perform a few scenes and see the effect!"

“Does your company accept financing?”

"..."

Liu Yifei on the side picked up her phone again.

Chen Yu said affirmatively. Liu Yifei, who was playing games next to her, had actually been eavesdropping on their chat. When she heard Chen Yu's affirmative answer, she suddenly raised her head and stared at him with a look of disbelief on her pretty face.

Chen Yu knew that the future boss of Happy Mahua was Zhang Chen, one of the three founders!

"I?"

"But I don't have the final say in this company alone. I have to ask the other two partners!"

Of course Tian Youliang understood.

"Then...the remuneration——"

"Well, I have this idea. I think your drama is good, but I don't have the money. I can provide it!"

And it was surprisingly simple.

"This...how is this so embarrassing!"

"You...you want to invest?"

"Okay, I'll ask right away!"

And most of them are losses.

"That...that's really great!"

Anyway, there is a person who has always wanted to sell equity.

Chen Yu suddenly asked, and Tian Youliang smiled awkwardly: "How could I not think about it? But now, I can't even pay the rent for another theater!"

Liu Yifei is a little stupid. I'm not even good at acting in TV series. You want me to act in a drama?

Tian Youliang was so touched!

He had no impression of the other two, Tian Youliang and Yu Kai, and they seemed to have sold their shares.

In her opinion, this is completely impossible!

Is this guy so easy to talk to?

He said he was too tired to write his "script", but now someone begged him and he agreed?

"This is not urgent!"

Is this guy such a double standard?

This Chinese opera student deserves to be so angry at him for being so loyal to him!

Tian Youliang didn't expect that things would go so smoothly. Even if it went smoothly, it didn't feel real to him.

"Okay, that's definitely no problem!"

These days, there are not many bosses investing in the drama industry.

"Oh, it's 2!"

Tian Youliang took out his mobile phone and was about to talk to his two partners.

It turned out that this guy had this idea... But although she thought this drama was good, the drama market in China was not active at the moment.

Chen Yu waved his hand, looked at Liu Yifei's slightly stunned expression beside him, and gave her a slight wink.

Tian Youliang was talking there, and Chen Yu could understand: "You can ask Teacher Tian, ​​I am more optimistic about your play, especially Teacher Tian!"

Because in later generations, there are basically no two names in Happy Twist, and Yu Kai seems to have some shares.

In fact, Chen Yu's gossip was indeed correct.

Tian Youliang was the first to sell his shares. He quit in July next year and planned to return to China National Theater to teach hard. So he sold all his shares to Yu Kai at the original price.

Yu Kai took over part of the equity and increased capital.

At the end of the same year, Yu Kai's shareholding ratio was 50%, while Zhang Chen's shareholding ratio was diluted to 10%, and the new financier, shareholder Zhang Yiwei, held 40%.

But only in 2009, Yu Kai transferred his 40 yuan equity to Sun Meicui and Zhang Yiwei respectively. Zhang Yiwei has now become the largest shareholder.

But in 2012, Free Elements officially changed its name to Happy Mahua, and the equity changed dramatically again. Zhang Yiwei transferred all its equity to Zhang Chen at a price of 300 million yuan, and the latter reached the top position with a 70% shareholding ratio. The largest shareholder!

Yu Kai still holds 10% of the shares.

After several rounds of financing, Yu Kai’s shareholding ratio was further diluted to less than 5%.

Some industry analysts said frankly that if Yu Kai insists on the 50% shareholding ratio he once owned, his net worth may be as high as 20 billion yuan.

It's a pity that he is not a reborn person and will not know about the development of Happy Twist. Tian Youliang is of course even more at a disadvantage.

"Okay, my two partners agreed!"

After a while, Tian Youliang walked up to Chen Yu with an excited face.

Chen Yu smiled and said: "Teacher Tian, ​​in this case, we will have a serious discussion about financing!"

At this point, let alone Tian Youliang, as long as they want to make the company bigger, Zhang Chen and Yu Kai will definitely agree to raise funds.

No one is stupid, this is a good thing!

The company has no money, and if someone comes to give money to expand the business, they will definitely be willing.

It's nothing more than a matter of how many shares it holds.

"Then how about going to my company to talk?"

Tian Youliang gave a suggestion, but Chen Yu shook his head: "It's almost time for dinner, why don't we call out and have a meal together?"

"Talk while eating?"

It can be seen that Tian Youliang is really a sociable person.

Probably, only such people will quit when Happy Twist is about to rise next year, just to return to teach at the Chinese Theater Company. It seems that it is the policy of the Chinese Theater Company next year that teachers cannot work part-time outside, so choose one of the two. , Tian Youliang chose the former.

"Then let me tell them!"

Tian Youliang took out his mobile phone again, and after a while, Chen Yu finally met Yu Kai and Zhang Chen, the other two founders of Happy Twist!

Both of them wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses, but Yu Kai looked like a scholar at first glance, while Zhang Chen looked a bit like an artist, with a mustache; for this future happy twist boss, Chen Yu, of course Read a little more.

The fact that he can still retain more than 50% of the equity after so many equity changes speaks for itself of his ability.

Yu Kai and Tian Youliang were obviously several ranks behind him.

"I heard from Lao Tian, ​​Brother Yu, will you participate in our new drama?"

After Zhang Chen sat down, he said with excitement on his face.

He was indeed the most troublesome among the three.

"Yes, I'm definitely willing to help!"

"However, I have analyzed it with Teacher Tian and we have to change the venue. There are really too many performances in the Chinese Opera!" Chen Yu still had the same tone of suggestion. It was obvious that Zhang Chen and Yu Kai also knew their current predicament.

"Yes, I told Lao Tian too!"

"But at that time, it was my decision to sign for 40 games. After all, it was more than half the price!"

Zhang Chen took the initiative to take responsibility there, which made Tian Youliang and Yu Kai feel a little uncomfortable.

The price of renting one game alone is obviously different from signing for 40 games directly.

"Who would have thought of such a thing as SARS!"

Chen Yu smiled, and Zhang Chen shook his head: "Yeah, let's not talk about this anymore. It's all in the past. How about ordering?"

He waved to the waiter, and Chen Yu hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhang, I've already ordered it!"

"what?"

Zhang Chen pretended to be surprised and said: "Then why are you embarrassed? No matter what happens later, I will pay the bill. I can't thank you enough for helping a small theater like ours!"

"Yes!"

Yu Kai also echoed there.

Chen Yu smiled and said: "It's all the same. If I invest, what's the difference between us? Right?"

"Hahaha, that's true!"

"..."

After a few words, the four of them basically knew each other.

"Teacher Tian, ​​tell me, if you want to rent a venue, such as Haidian Theater, how much does it cost for one session?"

Chen Yu really had no idea about this.

"General theaters can settle on a daily basis, that is, 3-5 shows, 3000 yuan a day. This is a unified quotation, and no counter-offering is allowed!"

"So low?"

Chen Yu was shocked by the price.

But of course he said this in his heart, and didn't show anything on his face.

Chen Yu knew more or less about the drama industry.

The venue cost is unclear, but in addition to this, there are actually labor, publicity and other expenses.

But this actually doesn’t cost much. Can’t these three people even afford a few thousand dollars?

Chen Yu was a little unimaginable.

As if he saw the confusion on his face, Yu Kai said: "Brother Yu, you may not know that in the drama industry, renting only one show will definitely make you lose money. At least 10 shows are required to start, which means that you have to rent at least 3 shows." days!"

"You still have to provide food and accommodation for the actors, and you have to promote and produce..."

"So if we change the venue, the cost will be at least 2-3 yuan!"

"Our previous money, including the earnings, was all in the 40 performances of the Chinese opera, and we had to pay wages; now there are only a dozen viewers every day, and we can't get much back at all..."

Zhang Chen took over Yu Kai's words and said with a bitter look on his face.

That's right, they are starting a company in partnership, and they are not doing charity. It must be how much money is in the company's accounts and how much money is spent... If they want to invest again, the equity will definitely change.

Besides, with the current market situation, no one knows what will happen next, so who dares to continue investing in it?

Even if Chen Yu, the one who was taken advantage of, was willing to invest, the three of them were eager to do so!

"understood!"

"Then you'll sign for 10 games first? I'll invest 10?"

Chen Yu felt that this little money was really a waste.

"Brother Yu, can you vote more?"

Zhang Chen said bravely: "Actors have been owed wages for several months, so we need to settle the matter!"

"..."

Chen Yu really didn't expect that these three people were so miserable now!

He never expected that in the end, the investment would not be a simple matter, but the other party would be begging him to give it.

Another business delivered to your door!

"Then... how much do you want?"

Chen Yu looked at the three people playfully.

Tian Youliangke told him before that their company only had 30 yuan, and he invested 10 yuan, accounting for 33.3% of the shares.

"20 million!"

"Is 20 okay?"

Zhang Chen and the three looked at each other, and finally Zhang Chen spoke up.

"sure!"

Chen Yu answered readily. He wanted to give 30 yuan, but he was afraid that they would not be able to bear it.

"That's enough!"

Yu Kai said happily, but Zhang Chen calculated: "In this case, you will hold 40% of the shares..."

He glanced at Tian Youliang and Yu Kai. He must have felt that Chen Yu's equity was a bit too much.

But since their company was small, the other two didn't think much about it at all.

"Brother Yu, you have to pay the appearance fee, right?"

Tian Youliang said something faintly, and Zhang Chen suddenly stopped talking.

If the appearance fee is included, it would be too high.

"I'll give you 20%!"

Tian Youliang said directly. Yu Kai, who was standing next to him, looked at the two people looking at him and was a little puzzled: "Look at what I'm doing. I don't care. If I take 20%, I'll take 20%!"

He really doesn't care.

This company is like this now. Is there any difference between 100% and 10% equity?

Aren’t they all losses?

"Okay, then I'll do the math right away and give Brother Yu a satisfactory answer!"

In the end, the four people discussed the ratio of shares while eating.

55%!

In the end, Chen Yu held 55% of the company's shares, while the other three people held 3%!

Each took out 18%.

However, Chen Yu is not responsible for management. He will send his aunt to work part-time in the company.

Although this was an investment, it was different from movie investment. Chen Yu was still uneasy, even though he was famous and only invested 20.

But Happy Mahua would be worth billions in the future, so he couldn't help but ignore it.

And no surprise, once Happy Mahua takes off, the shares he holds will definitely be diluted accordingly, unless he continues to invest.

"Then it will be operational tomorrow!"

"Mr. Zhang, please contact the new theater. Mr. Yu, you will be responsible for the promotional copywriting. I have to read the script. Teacher Tian, ​​you will be responsible for helping me rehearse these days!"

"Row!"

Several people discussed for a while, and Chen Yu left with the script of "I'll screw it for you if you want to eat mahua".

In the next half month, he happened to be free, so he could play some drama.

Zhang Chen, who stayed in the hotel, turned to Yu Kai and Tian Youliang and said, "Is this equivalent to us opening a company together with Chen Yu?"

"Yeah, so what's so confusing about you? I don't understand it!"

When Yu Kai said that, Tian Youliang also nodded: "Well, actually that's what I mean. If we tie up Chen Yu, we will make money no matter what. There is nothing to hesitate about!"

"Yes, I figured it out too!"

This is Chen Yu, they are just lucky.

But everyone knows that Chen Yu... is the lucky one!
