I really just want to make money

Although Deng Chao and Sun Li are still only second-tier stars, they both have more than 400 million fans.

In addition, Sun Li also found a lot of plastic sisters in the circle to help promote it, and the downloads of Moyu Chinese Website, Xiaoxiang Academy and Moyu Mall directly increased.

All of this is what Li Yu expected, resource exchange, celebrity publicity, and then lie down and earn money
It's just that there was a little accident here.

Sun Li and the others posted meager posts, and they were all well-behaved, but Deng Chao liked to be a little creative.

Deng Chao's Weibo is as follows:
"I strongly recommend everyone to download the Moyu Chinese website app. All the novels in it are free. I really like "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" and "Notes on Tomb Raiders" in it. I can't sleep at night after reading them."

There is nothing in this article, but the second sentence
"In addition, the Moyu Mall app is also very good. The products in it are very cost-effective. I have personally experienced it, and it is definitely worth the money!"

In general, it’s fine to promote a shopping app like this.

However, the Moyu Mall app has launched a new "interesting section". In order to achieve a good start, this is what the main page of the Moyu Mall app is promoting.
This caused those fans who downloaded the app because of Deng Chao's promotion to see these strange things at first sight after entering.

On the one hand, there are a variety of interesting commodities, and on the other hand, Deng Chao said, "Experience it yourself, it is absolutely worth the money".
The fans burst out laughing.

"Old Deng, did you buy the strong Y drug? Which one is worth the money? Wait online!"

"Old Deng, are you buying sex toys for men or women? Which one is more cost-effective? Can you recommend one?"

"Old Deng, I want to have a uniform temptation with the female ticket, which one do you think is fun?"

"Lao Deng"

Deng Chao usually likes to post on Weibo, and he is very addicted to the Internet. As soon as the crew's plane landed, he couldn't help opening Weibo, wanting to post a status saying that he came to get married.

then
What the hell!

"This strong Y drug? Sex toys? Uniform temptation? What the hell is this?"

Deng Chao also had a black question mark on his face at this time, and Huang Xiaoming and the others saw his strange expression, and they all came over one after another.

"Puchi"

"Hahaha"

"Old Deng, have your shopping records been leaked? Come here, let me see what brand of strong Y medicine you bought, hahaha."

Everyone laughed and laughed, leaving only the black lines on Deng Chao's face.

"Go, go, you just use the medicine, Lao Deng, I am strong and strong, one is worth two!"

After Deng Chao finished speaking, he ignored everyone's ridicule.

In terms of meagerness, humor, funny, and amiability are his personality, and he can't ignore the non-malicious ridicule of fans.

After thinking about it, the person who tied the bell needs to be untied. He wants to see what is going on with this Moyu Mall app, and why fans make fun of him.
Download and install

"Huh? No need to register?"

"Oh, it turns out that I share the same account with Moyu Chinese Network, which is quite convenient."

When you open the app, you will be greeted by a simple and clear interface layout.

On the left side are several major commodity sections, and on the right side are large areas for key product recommendations.

The key recommendations in it are basically several newly launched sex and health care products.
Looking at these outlandish things, the corners of Deng Chao's mouth twitched, and his heart was trampled by ten thousand grass mud sheep.

Looking at the slogan I wrote, "Experience it yourself, it's definitely worth the money", Deng Chao felt like crying without tears.

"It's over, it's a real hammer!"

In the current situation, it is impossible to explain it. We can only find a way to get it back without losing humor.

How to do?
First of all, he definitely can't say that he bought sex toys and Y-enhancing drugs. These things can only be used and cannot be said.

Then
Deng Chao could only focus on subduing the temptation.

"Women's clothing? Emm"

Just when Deng Chao was thinking hard and wondering whether to wear a nurse's uniform or a JK uniform, Chen Kexin had already led everyone into the pre-prepared commercial vehicle and headed straight to Moyu Technology Company.

When he received a call from Sun Li, saying that the great director Chen Kexin brought the leading team of "Huaxia Partners" to visit, Li Yu was puzzled.

"A movie that is about to be released, the main creative team came to find me, what is this for?"

This question only lasted for a few seconds, and Li Yu made a wild guess.

The movie is about to be released, what is the most important thing for the creative team?

It must be publicity!

However, there was one thing Li Yu didn't want to understand.

If you want to promote on the website of Moyu Technology Company, you can just give the money. There is no need to bring the whole team over, right?

Unable to figure it out, Li Yu simply stopped thinking about it.

Half an hour later, Sun Li arrived first, but she didn't know why Chen Kexin ran over suddenly.

"Mr. Li, my wife and I also contacted several celebrities in the circle, such as Jiang Xin, Cai Shaofen, etc., and publicized them on Weibo," Sun Li said with a smile.

She came here today, on the one hand, because Chen Kexin and the others are here, and as a matchmaker, Sun Li must be there.

Another more important thing is to finalize the heroine of "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

In order to promote Li Yu's company, she sold a lot of favors, and if she paid for it, she would naturally get a corresponding return.

Li Yu knew Sun Li's thoughts, anyway, it was a deal agreed in advance, so he naturally couldn't go back on his word.

"Well, then I would like to thank Sister Sun Li."

Although it was a transaction, Li Yu couldn't say so nakedly in face, so Li Yu expressed his thanks first.

Then he said:
"The script of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" still needs some time. When the script is finished, if there are no accidents, I plan to start shooting in June and July."

Li Yu said it lightly, but Sun Li blinked after hearing it.

I'm going, so fast?

She knew that Li Yu was a new boss and was not familiar with many things, so she kindly reminded her:
"Mr. Li, The Legend of Zhen Huan is an ancient costume drama of the Qing Dynasty. If it is more than 70 levels, the investment should not be small. Do you want me to contact some investors?"

Sun Li's question really reminded Li Yu.

His professional knowledge of filming TV series is close to zero. Apart from knowing that The Legend of Zhen Huan is valuable and that filming well can make money, he doesn't know anything.
For the fields that he is not good at, if he doesn't understand, he has to ask, and Li Yu doesn't think there is any shame in it.

"I'm not in a hurry to find an investor. I want to ask, how much do you usually invest in a TV series like this?"

Sun Li almost fainted upon hearing this.

She regrets it a little now, this Mr. Li seems a little unreliable, he didn't even know how much the investment was, and he opened his mouth to shoot in June and July.
If she didn't know that Li Yu was really rich, she would have suspected that he was a liar.

"Ahem, it depends on how Mr. Li plans to shoot."

"Of course, how to make money and how to shoot"

Sun Li: Hey, I'm so tired!
It was the first time she met this little platinum owner, and Sun Li was also speechless.

The boss himself doesn't know what he wants to shoot, so he has to analyze it himself. I just want to play a heroine, not an investor.
There is no way, Sun Li can only bite the bullet and say.

"Mr. Li, audiences are very picky these days, and if they want to make a lot of money, they need both production and actors.

In terms of production, the more sophisticated Fu Huadao is, the better. In terms of actors, the more famous and the better their acting skills, the better. In addition, the script and director”

Well, talking for a long time is equivalent to not saying anything.

"Let's talk about the cost directly. How much cost do you think can produce a TV series that satisfies the audience?"

Faced with this straightforward question, Sun Li thought for a while and said:
"Generally speaking, the average cost of an episode of a good costume drama is about 100 million."

100?Still just one episode?
Rao is a big family and a big business, Li Yu was also shocked.

An episode of 100 million, and Zhen Huan's biography plans to have 76 episodes. Wouldn't it cost 7600 million?
No wonder Sun Li asked Li Yu if he wanted to attract investment.

With so much money, let alone whether a company can get it out, even if it can, who would dare to invest alone?

Investment in film and television is not like investment in fixed assets. If it fails, it can be sold to recover blood.

Movies and TV dramas that hit the street are worthless.

If this investment fails, most companies will go bankrupt within minutes.
Well, except for Li Yu.

With the endorsement of a systematic review, as long as the production is well-made and does not overwhelm, he thinks that The Legend of Zhen Huan has at least a 90% chance of making money.
Knowing that you can make money is one thing, but who wouldn't want to earn a little more?

As an investor, Li Yu definitely wants to leverage the least amount of investment to maximize returns.

He wanted to see if there was room for pressure reduction in the investment Sun Li mentioned, under the premise of ensuring quality.

He went on to ask:
"An episode of 100 million investment, what does the specific cost structure look like?"

As the beneficiary of this question, Sun Li is a bit embarrassing to say.

But since Li Yu asked about it, she couldn't help but say it.
"Ahem, it's mainly the actors' pay, right now, the actors' pay accounts for more than 80% of the mainstream TV dramas."

Li Yu:? ? ?
Seeing Sun Li's slightly embarrassed expression, Li Yu probably understood.

If there is no accident, the money is basically the star's salary, as for those extras, they are not worth much at all
After deducting star remuneration and millions of investment, only 10,000+ can be spent on production
In this way, isn't it similar to the dick-like men photographed by Dapeng?
Li Yu was a little upset.

"Sister Sun Li, although I am an investor, you are also a starring role. I only want to make money, but you have to consider not only the salary but also whether the TV series will be popular, so our ultimate interests are actually the same."

"If it's really like what you said, what kind of good TV series can you make with such a small amount of money? If you can't make a good TV series, you will have nothing but salary."

Li Yu doesn't know how to make TV series, but he knows how to do business.

As long as everyone's interests are consistent, things will be easy to handle and business will be done.

Sure enough, Li Yu's words still touched Sun Li.

For her, the salary cannot be low, but whether the TV series can be popular is actually more important.

She is now a top second-tier actress, and she needs a popular TV series to help her hit the front line.
From her experience and vision, Zhen Huan Chuan has the foundation for a big hit. As long as the screenwriter, director, actors, production and investment can all keep up, the probability of a big hit is very high.

But the problem is, if all the above are satisfied, the difficulty is too high!

Even if they are all satisfied, whether the audience will buy it or not is another matter.
If the TV series hit the street, and I didn't get a high salary, wouldn't it be a waste of money?

This is actually a paradox and a game.

Investors' investment expectations have an upper limit. Under this premise, "actor's salary + production cost" is constant.

If you want to make a good production, you must compress the actor's salary.

As actors, they definitely don't want to.

In other words, if everyone knows that the show is 100% popular, they are still willing to cut their pay.
But the problem is that things like film and television dramas, no one can guarantee that they will be popular!
The atmosphere was awkward for a while, and Sun Li felt that she had to explain to Li Yu.

"Mr. Li, I don't get the actors' remuneration alone. A drama must have several actors who can afford it. In the current TV drama market, even second-tier stars, the price of a single episode is still between 15 and 40. "

"If it is a big IP that is destined to be popular, or a big director, the salary of the actors can indeed be discussed, but"

Sun Li's words are actually very obvious.

Although she is more optimistic about this drama, but that is just optimistic, not enough for her to significantly reduce her salary.

After thinking about it, Sun Li didn't want to talk about the role, so she took a step back.

"Mr. Li, the normal quotation for my TV series is 40 yuan, but I really like the role of Zhen Huan. How about this? I only take 30 yuan per episode to free up part of the funds and try to improve the quality of the production."

Sun Li took the initiative to take a step back, and Li Yu finally felt better, but he still felt that 30% of the cost alone was too high.
Sun Li had already taken a step back, and it was not easy for Li Yu to cut directly.

How to bargain, this is a science.

Li Yu carefully recalled Sun Li's remarks, and finally, his eyes locked on a tangled balance between the two sides.

Can it be a big fire?
"Well, let me propose a plan, and you can see if it works."

"First of all, I want to ensure the production quality of the TV series. Based on the premise of 100 million yuan for an episode, I will add another 1000 million yuan. This money is dedicated to production costs. That is to say, I will invest 8600 million yuan in this drama."

Sun Li thought that Li Yu was going to reduce investment, but he didn't expect Li Yu to operate in the opposite direction, increasing instead of decreasing. What kind of mysterious operation is this?
Just when she was puzzled, Li Yu revealed his real trump card.

"With a base investment of 8600 million yuan, I want to make the best possible results in the filming of Zhen Huan's Legend.

Regarding the issue of remuneration, I want to sign a gambling agreement with all the leading actors:
Take Sister Sun Li’s 30 yuan salary as an example. If the show becomes popular, the salary will be reduced by one-third. If it doesn’t become a hit, I will pay the full 30 yuan salary. "

Sun Li advances by retreating, and Li Yu actually adopts the same strategy.

He first invested an additional 1000 million yuan to give Sun Li a reassurance, and then made a bet on the condition of the performance of the TV series.

After listening to Li Yu's conditions, Sun Li's brain began to calculate frantically.

Li Yu wants her to make a choice between fame and money.

If the TV series can't give her the fame she wants, Li Yu will give her the money she wants.

If the TV series blows up, then she will lose a little money
This condition, it seems, is indeed acceptable.

However, there is still the most important point that must be clarified.

"What is an explosion, and how do you define it?"

Since Sun Li asked this question, she actually agreed to Li Yu's conditions in disguise.

In this regard, Li Yu smiled lightly.

"This is a professional issue. I will arrange professional people to negotiate with you to ensure your satisfaction."

Li Yu has already said so openly, and Sun Li has no way to criticize.

Taking a deep breath, Sun Li smiled and said:

"I agree to this condition in principle. I hope we can cooperate happily!"

"Hahaha, happy cooperation! This is my company's first drama, and I hope it will become a hit."

After the tense negotiations ended, the atmosphere relaxed a lot.

Sun Li showed a smile of admiration.

"At first, I wondered how Mr. Li could make such a fortune at such a young age, but now I finally know. Mr. Li's courage and business vision really impressed me."

"Where is it, I still envy you for being a star, you can keep your income in drought and flood, and you can make tens of millions by making a drama."

The two flattered each other, at this moment, Sun Li suddenly asked something.

"By the way, Mr. Li, the director of this show, who are you looking for?"

"director?"

Li Yu raised his eyebrows, thinking that this Sun Li is really shrewd, knowing that she lacks contacts in this area, it seems that she wants to pimp again.
But he doesn't care, if Sun Li introduces the right person, it will save him a lot of energy.

"The director's candidate has not yet been decided, do you have a suitable director to recommend?"

"Hehe, I do have one here, the husband of our screenwriter Wang Xiaoping, Zheng Xiaolong."

Sun Li knew that Li Yu was not familiar with directors in the industry, so she introduced:

"Director Zheng has a very high standard. He is the producer of "Longing". In 07, he won the Magnolia Award for Best Director with "Golden Wedding""

Li Yu didn't know what the best director of Magnolia was, but he knew the name of "Longing".

Most importantly, he is also the husband of screenwriter Wang Xiaoping.

If it really works, the couple will have a screenwriter and a director, and the communication will be smooth, and the shooting quality will be guaranteed.

"Okay, don't bother the two masters with one thing, Director Zheng still needs to ask you to help me."

Li Yu agreed so readily, and Sun Li was also very happy.

The reason why he is so considerate is that on the one hand, he really thinks that Zheng Xiaolong is suitable. If the introduction is successful, she can still get the favor of Zheng Xiaolong and his wife.

Another important reason is for herself.

The screenwriter and director were all found by themselves, and when filming later, my part in the scene must be guaranteed
After the director was settled, Sun Li struck while the iron was hot, and recommended several main actors to Li Yu.

Ada Choi, Jiang Xin.
She promised to help people talk about it, so it's just repaying the favor.

For Sun Li's shrewdness, Li Yu also has a headache.

Women, it's not good to be too smart.
"Okay, I only have two conditions. The first is the salary plan. If they accept the betting agreement, they can be allowed to audition. The second is that the role is suitable. Our goals are the same. Don't make me a bad movie."

"Mr. Li, don't worry, if it's not suitable, even if you don't tell me, I will never agree."

Sun Li promised with her chest.

The two were chatting when Sun Li's cell phone rang.

Needless to say, Chen Kexin and his party must have arrived.

Anyway, they are also big directors and a group of big stars. Out of politeness, Li Yu and Sun Li went downstairs to greet them.

Going downstairs through the elevator, as soon as Li Yu walked to the door, he saw two business Mercedes-Benz driving downstairs.

Hey, this battle is not like an ordinary advertisement cooperation.
The door of the business car opened, and a group of people came down with a whoosh. There were a few familiar faces, and some were unfamiliar. They were probably behind-the-scenes or assistants.

As an intermediary, Sun Li quickly introduced them to both parties.

"President Li, this is Director Chen Kexin, this is Huang Xiaoming, Tong Dawei, uh, this is my lover Deng Chao"

"Director Chen, this is Mr. Li Yu."

"Hello Mr. Li."

"Hello."

After a few people got to know each other briefly, Li Yu took them directly to the reception room on the 6th floor by taking the elevator.

Qi Lei heard a group of big stars coming, and quickly arranged for the ladies and sisters in the office to go upstairs to serve tea and water.

Soon, hundreds of employees in Moyu Building were shocked.

In this day and age, ordinary people still yearn for celebrities, let alone Huang Xiaoming and the others, who are well-known first- and second-tier stars in China.
If it weren't for the fear of being cleaned up by the boss, Li Yu's office would probably be overcrowded now.

After everyone sat down in the reception room, Li Yu had time to look at the group of people carefully.

Let's not talk about Chen Kexin, director, you can't judge by appearance.

Li Yu glanced at Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao and Tong Dawei.

Well, the length is not bad, just a little bit worse than myself
Li Yu was looking at them, and they were all looking at Li Yu.

Deng Chao: Damn, I heard from my wife that this guy is a self-made billionaire, is it true?
Huang Xiaoming: Shit!He is as handsome as me.

Tong Dawei: I make soy sauce.

Chen Kexin had no other thoughts besides lamenting that Li Yu was young. He now has all his wealth on "Huaxia Partner", a horse under great pressure!
The movie was about to be released, and Chen Kexin didn't have time to be polite with Li Yu, he had already talked with the leading actors on the way here.

Well, to be precise, it was Huang Xiaoming and Tong Dawei. As for Deng Chao, he could no longer be used as a bargaining chip.

"Mr. Li, I'm here this time to discuss a cooperation plan with you."
