Chapter 269 The one who owes money is the master (asking for monthly tickets)

The topic of An Feng's secret love for Qi Hao made the front pages of many media outlets.

Fairy sister’s first love is exposed.

After years of secret love, An Feng and Qi Hao have stories that must be told.

Did you two forget to make the official announcement?

The romance of the banned account has been exposed, and it is hard to tell whether it is true or not. When will the movie hype end?

At that time, it was thought to be normal. Xiaolongnu had been in love with Yang Guo for many years.

Qi Hao is now very powerful and is a shareholder of both Penguin and Sina, so the media is still polite to him.

Otherwise... just look at how the Hong Kong media reports it.

In fact, An Feng was not only rumored to have a crush on Qi Hao.

She made one mistake and was caught and criticized.

When someone asked her if it was okay for her to be with Qi Hao, she said, "Not yet, this is just a movie..."

There is a lot more to say, but unfortunately the media doesn't pay any attention to it.

They just keep insisting that "it's not possible for now", so does that mean it's over for now and the two can be together now?

All of a sudden, the scandal between Qi Hao and An Feng became a huge trend.

It’s more exciting than Qi Hao’s previous scandals.

Moreover, this time it is not just a scandal.

In the past, everyone knew that Qi Hao and those female stars were just rumors. After all, they rarely went in and out of hotels together, or there were situations where both sides expressed something.

That is to say, provide some news materials for the media to hype up.

But it's different now.

The two attended the event together, An Feng was talking there and Qi Hao was smiling beside him.

This smile is very famous.

If you look closely, you can actually see some ripples.

To make an irresponsible guess, when An Feng said that she had a "secret crush" on Qi Hao, Qi Hao might have been very happy.

The scandal was hotly discussed, and even escalated from a rumor to An Feng secretly loving Qi Hao. The characters in the movie "A Little Thing Called First Love" reflected reality, so the box office of the movie naturally increased.

We worked secretly with China Film Group to help get more screenings.

I can't say the total box office will reach 200 million, but 180 million will be no problem at all. If the key is extended for a month and there is some explosive news, it is not impossible to exceed 200 million.

In addition, Qi Hao officially announced during a roadshow in Jiangcheng that he would make another campus youth movie, which would still be starred by him and An Feng, and would tell a different story.

After this announcement came out, although there were many voices criticizing him for making money, it still aroused the expectations of the audience of "First Love".

Especially those veteran movie fans who have watched it more than once.

Don't worry about filming. We will watch it as long as it's you and An Feng acting in it, and the box office will definitely be good.

Qi Hao definitely doesn't believe such remarks.

If the movie expects fans to pay for it, it will suffer huge losses.

Therefore, for the filming of "Those Years", he summed up the various experiences of "First Love" and tried hard to make the quality of this film better.

Strive to make it the ceiling of campus youth films.

Compared with the previous movie, Qi Hao needed to take the initiative to contact the producer and bring in Media Asia to jointly produce and distribute the film. This "Those Years" which had just been announced immediately attracted the attention of the capital market.

It has low cost, high box office, and is backed by a previous film of the same type. Everyone knows that this is a hot commodity.

So a lot of big and small investors came to ask about the situation.

Thirty million cost?
Qi Hao and An Feng will both receive film remuneration this time, and their combined remuneration will be 10 million.

no problem!
Qi Hao and An Feng, the relationship between you two is more than just 1+1>2. As long as you two are willing to star in youth films, that will be the ceiling of the entire industry.

There is no substitute, so a 10 million yuan salary for two people is definitely no problem.

If the second film can still reach a box office of 1.8 million, then million can make a net profit of to million, which is a return rate of more than %.

Last year, the film with the highest return on investment was "Founding of a Republic", which cost 496 million yuan and grossed over million yuan, achieving a return on investment of %.

Next is "Crazy Racing" and "Perfect Match", and then there is no movie with a return on investment of more than 100%.

"The Siege of the City in October" is less than 30%.

On the contrary, Zhang Yimou's "Three Shots Surprise" only cost 85 million to film and promote, and finally won more than million at the box office. Although the word of mouth was very bad, the return on investment reached %.

The final box office of "First Love" is currently unknown, and the rate of return is still unclear, but it is definitely the strongest of the year. After all, with a cost of 10 million, it achieved a box office of nearly 200 million.

Qi Hao did not completely reject these capitals.

It feels great to eat alone, but it can be very troublesome. His principle in the circle is to be kind to others, and he has adhered to it for so many years, so naturally he doesn't want to make enemies with others easily.

The reason why Stephen Chow has no friends in the entertainment industry is not only because he does have certain problems with his personality, but mainly because he is too independent. When he was at his best, he had three or four movies in the top five of the box office rankings every year, but he didn't give other investors a chance to make money. Who else can he target if not you?

Huang Xiaoming and Liu Dehua are very popular, but they often make terrible movies.

If you are popular, you will have many friends.

A friend invites you to act in a play and offers you a high salary, and asks you how to refuse.

If you refuse, you will lose popularity.

Qi Hao is somewhere in between these two types. Even if his friends ask him for help, he will choose the script.

In the first two years after he became famous, he had no say, so he took on roles like crazy.

If he filled up his schedule, naturally no one would come to him for help, which was called being unable to help. However, Qi Hao did not give out most of his share.

His Zhonghao Entertainment invested 30%, Feiyang Media invested 30%, and of the remaining 40%, 10% was given to China Film, and the final 30% was divided among various capitals.

In addition, Qi Hao stipulated that subcontracting is not allowed.

The total cost of this film is only 30 million, and he will not pay for the investment subcontract.

Investment subcontracting is a new thing that has emerged in recent years.

For example, Qi Hao invested in a movie and took out a total of 30 million yuan, but he did not take the money directly.

He will divide the 30 million into ten parts, each part is 3 million, and then sell them for 6 million. The cost for the next-level producer to invest in this film will become 60 million.

Of course, this ratio is a bit extreme.

It has to be an exceptionally good movie to be able to subcontract out twice as much.

However, a truly good project may not just be a second-level subcontract.

The next level producer may continue to subcontract.

Some good projects are indeed attractive, such as Qi Hao's "Those Years". The big producers who subcontract the projects make money from their resources and connections.

There are also professional scammers who take some rubbish projects and make them sound great to trick ordinary people into investing.

Those who look for ordinary people to invest in movies basically use this tactic.

Nine out of ten shots miss.

Qi Hao stopped subcontracting, and his meaning was very clear: I will give this 30% to everyone in order to make money together with my friends.

Then my friends, don’t expect to exaggerate the cost of my film by subcontracting.

No matter what, the cost of my movie is 30 million.

Since Qi Hao still owns a 30% stake in Feiyang Media, his total investment in this film is 39%, making him the largest producer.

With the help of Feiyang Media, An Feng also has a 6% share. It’s not too much, but it’s not bad either.

This is a risk-free project after all.

Friendship is friendship, business is business.

During the break of the roadshow, Qi Hao also attended the opening ceremony of "The Monkey King: Hero is Back".

"Didn't you start making it a long time ago?"

As the chief producer, it was reasonable for Qi Hao to be invited to the event, but Tian Xiaopeng specifically requested him to bring Taoist Suiyun along, which was particularly outrageous.

Are you possessed by a demon? I need a Taoist priest to exorcise you.

"It's been brewing for seven years! It's even more exaggerated than being pregnant and giving birth to Nezha."

Tian Xiaopeng has now received the money and is much more casual in front of Qi Hao.

After all, it is the boss who owes the money.

"Did you start having this idea seven years ago?" Qi Hao really admires those who make animations. Most of the people he has met have been planning their ideas for at least three to five years.

Three to five years of brewing, three to five years of preparation, and three to five years of production.

How can this be called making a movie?

"In 1997, I participated in the production of a part of CCTV's animation Journey to the West. It was at that time that my mind was filled with the Monkey King and I had a bold idea: to make a series of D animations of Journey to the West. But I never made up my mind. Seven years ago, I finally made up my mind and started to study how to make it."

Tian Xiaopeng took out a lot of things to show Qi Hao.

This is just a small part of it. His study is full of various drafts and materials.

"You are awesome. Cherish this opportunity and make a high-quality animation."

If all Chinese animators had this kind of sentiment and persistence.

Qi Hao feels that this "niche track" will really prosper one day.

He judged that animated films could be made based on the performance of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, as well as the booming development of animated films from Japan and Hollywood.

But when it comes to people who really come into contact with this industry, even Qi Hao couldn't help but be moved.

Of course, there are also many scammers in this industry.

The country has subsidized the animation industry many times, but a considerable portion of the money has been taken away by scammers.

"I will definitely do my best, but Taoist Suiyun can't be left out either."

Tian Xiaopeng looked at those "hypocritical" Taoists eagerly, and also hoped that his project could get some metaphysical luck.

Anyway, you won’t get pregnant by rubbing it, so what if it works?

"Master Dao, how about it, do you think their project can make money?"

Qi Hao stood up, patted Tian Xiaopeng on the shoulder, and walked towards Taoist Suiyun who was preparing to open the altar.

"Of course he will make money. With the blessing of the ancestors, he will not only make money, but also make a lot of money. The box office of his movie will definitely exceed... 500 million!"

I originally wanted to say 1 billion, but the highest box office of domestic films now is only 400 to 500 million, and only "Avatar" has set a record of more than 1 billion. Even a fake Taoist priest would not dare to help brag about this.

It really tests one's imagination for boasting.

"Thank you for your good words, Taoist priest. Here is a red envelope. If you have any other requests, I will satisfy you!"

When Tian Xiaopeng heard the 500 million, his hands began to tremble with excitement.

This red envelope is given in addition to the compensation.

Qi Hao rolled his eyes and said, "If you take him to wash his feet, he will be more satisfied."
