Entertainment starts with variety shows

Chapter 325 Fighting the Wolf 2
Following Wu Jing to a private room in the hotel, the two of them greeted each other after sitting down. After exchanging pleasantries, they ordered a few bottles of Moutai, and chatted about the status quo of the entertainment industry while drinking.

"You don't know that traffic is really expensive now. Let's take my current drama as an example. Before I was looking for a small fresh meat, the opening price was more than 7000 million, and it was a friendly price recommended by a friend."

"I was so angry that I almost didn't slap my palm up. I have a total budget of only 7000 million yuan. He dares to ask for more than [-] million yuan for a supporting role. The rest of them drink northwest wind?"

I don't know if he had drunk it, Wu Jing's face flushed slightly, his face showed veins, and he couldn't suppress the anger between his words.

"Hey, the market is like this. They are all used to it. Virtue is not coordinated. Sooner or later someone will clean up this kind of thing. Let's not talk about it. Let's have a drink."

"You're still sensible. Although it's the first time we've met, you're bold enough and don't procrastinate at all. I've made this friend. If you need anything, come to me in the future!"

After drinking half a catty of wine, Wu Jing's chest slapped loudly, and Fang Jing's head was full of black lines. It was the first time for the two of them to meet each other, and those who didn't know thought they were very close.

"Brother Jing, come on, let's have another drink. Today I risk my life to accompany the gentleman. I am nicknamed "I can't drink a thousand cups. The highest record is two catties of white. We won't go home until we're drunk."

"Cough, cough, cough!" After choking on the wine, Wu Jing's face flushed, seeing Fang Jing's playful expression, he knew that his desire to get drunk was not enough.

"It's going to be long in the future, let's put aside the wine matter first, and I heard from Teacher Wu Gang that you have something to do with me?"

"Brother Jing, I'm leaving if you say that!"

Fang Jing got up expressionlessly, Wu Jing hurriedly pulled him back, "Just kidding, I'm the one looking for you, why are young people so hot-tempered?"

The gathering between the two was intentionally arranged by Fang Jing and Wu Gang. Before Xiao Ao was filmed, he knew that Wu Gang had made a cameo appearance in Wolf Warrior 2.

In June, when the filming of Wolf Warrior 2 started, he had been paying attention, but he did not intervene in the investment, but waited and watched.

In the previous life, Wolf Warrior 2 had funds at the beginning, and later investors withdrew several companies. Wu Jing was almost forced to sell his blood, and his father-in-law's house was sold.

The reason why Fang Jing didn't invest any money at the beginning was because he wanted to wait until the funding chain of Wolf Warrior 2 was broken before making a move.

The icing on the cake is nothing like giving charcoal in the snow, and it is easier to talk about taking shares at this time.

"Teacher Wu Gang said that you are very interested in investing in Wolf Warriors 2?" Pulling a chair, Wu Jing sat next to Fang Jing.

"I'm a little interested. I worked with him before, and I overheard him talking about it."

After pondering for a few seconds, Wu Jing didn't speak in a hurry. Two days ago, he received a call from Wu Gang, saying that there was a young man in the entertainment industry who wanted to invest in his Wolf Warrior 2.

It just so happens that he is short of a large sum of money now, knowing that Fang Jing is here, that's why we met today.

"You...hahaha! Well, I have been friends with Mr. Wu Gang for many years, and you have an unusual relationship with him. If you want to participate in some shares, I will definitely let you."

"It just so happens that I have a little extra stock in my hand. I originally reserved it for a friend, but now I give it to you."

Seeing Wu Jing's appearance of asking you to pick up a bargain, Fang Jing couldn't laugh or cry, he was still acting in front of him at this moment, "Brother Jing, I know the situation on your side, just tell me, how much is the difference?"

"Ahem... at least 3000 million!"

His little thoughts have been pointed out, and Wu Jing doesn't need to hide it. The investor's divestment made him very passive. Now the crew is still out of business in South Africa, just waiting for his money to start working.

"How many producers are there in Wolf Warrior 2?"

"Sixteen!"

"How much to invest? How much do you personally own and how much do they own?"

"With a budget of 7000 million, I will contribute 60.00 million and account for 8000%, eighteen of them will contribute [-] million and account for [-]%. The rest of the advertisers are all recruited by me, and the remaining [-]% is in the hands of netizens."

Fang Jing nodded slightly, this ratio is quite reasonable, although Wu Jing pays less money and takes more shares, but he is responsible for creativity, strength, connections and filming, and others will follow suit.

This has always been the case in the movie market. You don’t get as many shares as you invest. Some things cannot be measured by money.

"As far as I know, some people have withdrawn their investment, how many of the eighteen companies are left?"

"Fourteen!"

Fang Jing glanced at Wu Jing meaningfully, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid that the funds are more than 3000 million short?"

"It's more than 3000 million, but I can always find a way to make up a little. On average, it's only 3000 million."

The development of the negotiation is becoming more and more unfavorable to him, and Wu Jing's face is not as good as it was at the beginning.

That's why he didn't take the initiative to explain the reason at the beginning, because he was afraid of the current situation.

Step by step, step by step, even if you can raise money in the end, you will probably pay a lot.

"I can fill in the 3000 million holes." Looking at Wu Jing, Fang Jing said seriously, "Not only can I fill in, but I can also fill in the few houses that have run away. Just tell me the truth, how much money can you give me at most?"

"Of course, more money is better. As a director, no one would dislike it. However, the budget and production of Wolf Warrior 2 are determined. Now it is impossible to change the contract regulations for you. We can only let you come from behind and quit a few of you. Make up a few."

After thinking for a while, Wu Jing said: "4000 million, this is the current shortfall of funds. If you can afford this money, you will own 15.00% of the shares."

Seeing that Fang Jing's expression was not as joyful as expected, he thought it was too much, Wu Jing hurriedly said, "Twenty million is fine, I'm at a disadvantage here, and I'll give you an extra share of the ratio."

Before coming here, Wu Jing did research on Fang Jing's information. This person doesn't seem to be short of money. Someone who can casually donate tens of millions should not be troubled by such a small amount of money.

"Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's too much, but too little. Brother Jing, can you see if this works? I'll make a little more, and you can give me an even share of your share."

"what?"

Wu was stunned. After a long time, he thought he was short of money, so he was so optimistic about him?
You must know that Wolf Warrior 1 didn't make much money, and many people in the industry still laughed at him, saying that anyone can be a director these days, so much so that he even put the real estate license on the film.

"It's okay to give you a little bit, how much do you pay?"

"I offer 8000 million, how much can you give?"

"How many?"

Wu Jing thought he heard it wrong, 8000 million was almost half of the total investment.

"8000 million! You heard me right, I know there are a few companies on your side who are planning to withdraw their capital, why wait for them to withdraw, just kick them out, we can do it alone, and I will make up for the difference later."

How dare you go to Liangshan without twos and threes, Fang Jing has been paying attention to the situation of Wolf Warrior 2.

This time, Wu Jingdong used his connections to bring in warships and tanks. In foreign scenes, there are also rocket launchers. The weapons are all real guns and live ammunition. There are hundreds of vehicles just to blow up cars. The lineup is not luxurious.

With such a large investment, there are many cats who smell fishy. Some top film and television companies in the industry want to get a piece of the action and carry out capital operations when it is released.

It was suspected of violating the law, but Wu Jing did not agree, and that's why the investors withdrew their capital.

"Are you serious?" Wu Jing's face changed, "You should know what's going on with me now. If it can't be released, you will be in vain?"

Fang Jing chuckled, "The warships and tanks are all used. If they can't be screened, then the whole country's movies will have to be piled up in warehouses to death."

Wu Jing was able to get these things, which shows that the relationship is strong, and the top must be approved and strongly supported, and going to theaters is not a problem.

It's just that when it comes to money, the higher-ups can't do anything about it, they can't pay the money.

"If you can really pay 8000 million, I'll give you 30.00% three shares!"

Of the 35 producers, several of them are friends in the entertainment industry, Wu Jing is not easy to kick people, and some of the [-] shares are still on his own body.

"How much do I need to pay for 40.00%?"

"It's not about money." Wu Jing shook his head in embarrassment, "If you add 2000 million, I'll give you another five points."

30.00 million, accounting for [-]% of the shares. Eighth, Fang Jing did the math, and it was not a loss.

In the past, Wu Jing would definitely not agree, but now that he is being stared at by hungry wolves, people are waiting for him to be scrapped, and half of the filming is over. If it is announced that the group will be disbanded, all the nearly [-] million yuan spent will be in vain, and he will jump ten times. There are not enough rooftops.

But he would not agree to the proposals of those people. This time he filmed Wolf Warrior 2, he trained in the special forces for more than half a year, and the leaders in the team supported him a lot.

If he is in the same boat, people don't know what disappointment will be, and he will have no face to see that leader again.
