I really just want to make money

Seeing the promise of "refunding movie tickets" from a cup of milk tea shop, many people seem to have seen the scene when they are about to succeed.

With the promotion of the film and drama club, more and more students, teachers, and even people around the school heard that there is an opportunity to "watch movies for free", so they all gathered together...

Looking at the long queue at the entrance of her milk tea shop, Jiang Wenwen suddenly felt guilty.

Jiang Wenwen originally wanted to use "Huaxia Partner" as a gimmick to raise the popularity of the milk tea shop in the school.

Of course, as to whether the box office of "Huaxia Partners" can exceed 5 million, after seeing Li Yu's words on Weibo, and the trend of the movie's box office in the past two days, she still has a certain degree of confidence...

It's just that the development of the crowded scene in front of her has exceeded her expectations.

"The box office of this movie will not reach 5 million, right?"

Li Yu may still have the opportunity to play tricks on Weibo, but her store is here, and if she wants to play tricks, she can't even run away...

……

After receiving Jiang Wenwen's distress call, Li Yu was speechless.

"You, you are really worrying. If nothing happens, today's movie box office will exceed 2 million. 5 million is nothing but a trifle!"

After dispelling Jiang Wenwen's worries, Li Yu was concerned about her current situation again.

Knowing that her business has been booming recently, and even when she is planning to open a second store, Li Yu is still very relieved...

He just likes this kind of beautiful girl who is motivated and not clingy.

With Jiang Wenwen's successful experience, Li Yu directly told Zhang Bo her cooperation model.

After Zhang Bo sorted it out a bit, he used it as a marketing plan and then promoted it in a cup of milk tea shop.

Although not every school's film club has such a strong influence, nothing is better than nothing.

200 milk tea shops are equivalent to two hundred flames. Even if each shop can only drive 100 people to the theater, it can still bring 2 moviegoers...

Although this little money is dispensable to Li Yu, being able to cooperate with the hottest movie at the moment is still very helpful to enhance the influence of the milk tea shop.

In the next few days, the box office trend of "Huaxia Partners" lived up to expectations and showed a beautiful growth line.

3天2亿，5天3.5亿，7天4.5亿！
With the end of the May Day holiday, the movie box office began to decline sharply, but the threshold of 5 million is already in sight, and the box office of 6 million is within reach...

After the second microblog that day, Li Yu didn't update Weibo again.

On this day, Li Yu logged into Weibo again, and was amused by the message in the comment area.

"It's over, Barbie is gone! I wanted to grab a wave of Mr. Li's wool, but I didn't expect it to become a leek in Mr. Li's mouth..."

"Same leek!"

"I was even worse. I invited several buddies to watch a movie together. I wanted to pretend to be tough, so I hoped that Mr. Li would reimburse me. This is a good thing. This month's living expenses are gone, and I can only eat dirt..."

"Hahaha, the upstairs is really talented!"

"I just want to know how many people have been cut leeks by Mr. Li like me? If it is leeks, reply 9, keep the formation and don't mess up!"

"9"

"9"

"9"

"Brothers, there are still 5000 million left before the gate of hell, and we still have a chance to turn defeat into victory!

...

Everyone act now, post on Moments to call on everyone not to watch this movie again!Brothers, come on! "

"support!"

"top!"

"..."

Seeing a group of silly netizens still struggling desperately, Li Yu was in a good mood.

4.5 million is the box office as of yesterday, after today, there should be only 5 million left from 2000 million...

To put it bluntly, the coming of Jesus will not stop the movie from breaking 5 million!
Since it was a game, Li Yu also enjoyed it. After thinking about it, he updated the third meager article.

"I heard that someone wants to post on Moments to prevent friends from watching movies. For everyone's convenience, I will edit a template. You can take it and repost it, thank you!"

"Dear relatives, friends, brothers, girlfriends and sisters: I beg you not to watch "Huaxia Partner" anymore! I bought 2 tickets and spent 60 oceans. I just waited for the movie box office to reach 5 million and asked Mr. Li to reimburse me. This Whether Yue can eat hot rice and hot soup depends on your support!"

Li Yu just updated Weibo here, and it attracted a lot of comments.

"Fuck! Mr. Li finally came out to cheat the corpse!"

"Mr. Li, I bought 3 tickets yesterday. This month's living expenses are gone. I beg Mr. Li to reward me with a few copper coins, woo woo woo..."

"Total Li's hands cramp from counting money, and I get stomach cramps from drinking Northwest Wind!"

"Mr. Li, don't be crazy! It has been forwarded to Moments, and today I will let you see how powerful my Moments are!"

"Reposted 1"

"Reposted 1"

"..."

Looking at these comments, the corners of Li Yu's lips turned upward, looking forward to the assists from these silly netizens.

……

The May [-]st holiday is long, and the holiday is over before I have a good experience.

Liu Wei complained in his heart that the vacation was too short, while drinking tea and scrolling through Weibo.

He took advantage of Li Yu's meagerness before the festival, and then jumped into the big hole Li Yu dug.

In fact, it can't be said to be a big hole. He thinks the movie "Huaxia Partner" is really good, but...

Who wouldn't want a free lunch if they could?
So after he watched the movie, he kept checking the box office of the movie. When he saw that it broke 7 million in 4.5 days, he knew that he would not be able to eat this "free lunch"...

"If you can't take advantage of it, you can't take advantage of it. Isn't it just a few dozen dollars?"

As a white-collar worker with a monthly salary of [-] to [-], Liu Wei still doesn't care much about the money, but he still has a little regret in his heart.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw that Li Yu had updated Weibo again.

"Hey, Mr. Li has updated again."

"Fuck! Is it so rampant?"

Seeing that Li Yu even edited the text of the circle of friends that "prevent friends from watching movies", Liu Wei suddenly felt a little itchy...

What the hell, if you don't retweet it, you will be sorry for your tens of dollars of movie tickets!

So, move your hands, copy, paste, and forward.

A set of procedures down, as smooth as silk.

Liu Wei just finished reposting Moments when he heard someone calling his name.

"Hey, Lao Li, have you also watched "Huaxia Partners"?" The colleague next door saw his circle of friends, and ran over gloatingly.

Liu Wei: "Uh, you read it too?"

Colleague: "That's right, I was wondering if I could get a refund, but..."

...

Liu Wei: "Hahaha, I think so too."

The two pink and tender leeks looked at each other and laughed.

It's not interesting to be deflated by yourself, but it's interesting to see others be deflated like yourself.

The laughter of the two, as well as Liu Wei's circle of friends, quickly attracted the attention of colleagues in the office.

I just went to work in the morning, and everyone was relatively free, so a tea party was held around Liu Wei soon.

After a chat, the entire office chatted about the movie "Huaxia Partner" and the 5 million words of "President Li" before the movie was released...

In a place like an office, what is most needed is "talking resources". Seeing that everyone has watched "Huaxia Partners" and having a great time chatting there, those who haven't watched it can only stare blankly, and then...

That night, the owners of major theaters saw another miraculous scene.

"Huaxia Partners", whose popularity had subsided and its attendance rate dropped, suddenly bucked the trend and grew again!

The abnormal situation on the movie theater side soon spread to the film's main creative team.

Chen Kexin and the others were rushing to the next stop to promote, and he was stunned when he got the news.

"What's the situation? Could it be that our road show promotion has worked?"

Chen Kexin's promotion has been one stop after another recently, either at the promotion site or on the way to the promotion site. I really don't have time to surf Weibo...

Only Deng Chao, a few young and strong guys, still have the strength to surf the Internet.

Listening to Chen Kexin talking to himself, the corners of Deng Chao's mouth twitched.

"Uh, Director Chen, I guess it's because Mr. Li's propaganda has had an effect..."

"Mr. Li? Which... oh, you mean Li Yu, Mr. Li? Did he make any big news again?"

Chen Kexin was already immune to Li Yu's ability to do things.

Hearing this, Deng Chao handed over the phone.

"President Li updated Weibo in the morning, take a look..."

Chen Kexin picked up Deng Chao's cell phone and looked at it. After a while, he finally understood Li Yu's coquettish operation.

The audience has long been numb to the old routine of calling on everyone to go to the movies with positive publicity.

Now I suddenly saw a group of people yelling and telling everyone not to go to a certain movie. The key reason why everyone didn't go was not that the movie was "bad", but because of a bet, the curiosity of the audience was immediately hooked stand up……

"Young people really know how to play!"

Chen Kexin suddenly had the feeling that he didn't want to continue to run promotions from city to city.

My own group of people ran around like stupid dogs tiredly, but in the end, the effect was not as good as Li Yu's meager words, which was really shocking!

"Mr. Li's meager fans are not as good as yours. Why can't you promote this effect?" Chen Kexin looked at Deng Chao, Huang Xiaoming and the others.

Deng Chao and the others also looked at Chen Kexin in bewilderment.

It's obviously a happy thing, but I don't know why Director Chen is suddenly unhappy...

"Uh, well, maybe Li is always a marketing genius..." Deng Chao smiled awkwardly.

He has at least one microblog every day, and every time he is playing tricks, the fans are no strangers to it, and it is strange if there is a publicity effect.

As for Huang Xiaoming, the same is true.

...

Tong Dawei, well, he didn't manage a small business at all...

Chen Kexin shook his head helplessly, very disappointed.

"They are all young people, why is there such a big gap..."

Deng Chao: "..."

Huang Xiaoming: "..."

A no-nonsense disaster.

……

next morning

"Congratulations to "Huaxia Partners" for breaking through 5 million yuan at the box office!"

Looking at Li Yu's latest meager, huge red announcement, Liu Wei instantly felt that the shit he produced didn't taste good...

The single-day box office did not fall but increased, and it took two days to break through the 5 million mark, but it took only one day to achieve it.

"This is so unscientific!"

With deep suspicion and confusion, Liu Wei came to the company, and then saw several colleagues discussing the content of "Huaxia Partners" together.

Two of them said yesterday morning that they hadn't watched the movie...

At this time, no matter how stupid Liu Wei is, he still knows why the box office of this movie has reversed growth yesterday!

"Fuck! I not only made leeks, but also helped others sell them!"

After the movie's box office broke 5 million, Li Yu didn't have many silly netizens on Weibo. He is very busy now...

On the one hand, I have to deal with countless congratulatory messages and phone calls.

There are friends he knew before, but most of them are stars and directors in the entertainment industry.

These people didn't know where to find Li Yu's mobile phone number, and all of a sudden, his new friend applications kept coming.

After adding a friend, be a little more reserved, just congratulate him on the box office hit of the movie.

Some impetuous directors directly said that they had film and TV drama projects on hand and wanted to find Li Yula to invest.

Of course, there are also [-]th-tier female stars whose names he doesn’t even know ask Li Yu when she is free, and would like to ask questions about her acting skills...

For this kind of food delivered to the door, Li Yu directly ignored it.

Just kidding, don't you have a sick mind if you don't drive a luxury car to squeeze the bus?

Even if the brain is not sick, if my younger brother gets sick, who can I ask for reason?
Apart from these unreliable ones, Li Yu did add a lot of well-known stars and directors, and maybe he will use them in the future...

After a few days in a row, the box office growth momentum of "Huaxia Partners" gradually slowed down. At this time, the total box office has reached 6.2 million yuan!

The information revealed by the drifting bottle was only 5.4 million, and now it is 0.8 million more!
And this number is not the end...

This number also provides Li Yu with an excellent evaluation reference.

"Moyu Company's website promotes its own hype", resulting in a box office value of nearly 1 million!
Assuming that the final box office is 6.4 million yuan, Li Yu can finally have a box office share of 7300 million yuan!

A movie made a net profit of 5000 million. Li Yu didn't feel anything, but the executives of the entire Moyu Technology Company felt like they had been pumped out!
You know, Moyu Technology Company only made a net profit of less than 1 million in the first quarter, and now, Boss Li has made more than this money with a random investment...

Uh, no.

Strictly speaking, Boss Li is not considered an investment at all, because Moyu Technology Company has only paid a deposit of 100 million so far, and the remaining balance of 2650 million can be paid by the end of May.

...

This speed of making money is simply more terrifying than stealing money!
When Li Yu attended the staged company meeting, Zhao Fang from the finance department was always in a state of intense excitement.

Nothing else, it was too much pressure before!

The company is building a building, and Li Yu is investing in movies, and investing in the development of instant messaging, websites, and information communities. He has to invest nearly 1 million yuan...

Now that this wave of blood is earned, let alone the money invested in movies, it will be returned in seconds.

The 5000 million earned is enough to invest in the company's large-scale system construction in the early stage...

It feels so good to be rich!
When it was rare to see his chief financial officer smiling, Li Yu also joked with a smile:
"Mr. Zhao, what do you think, I said that I will make money soon, you still don't believe it..."

After being ridiculed by Li Yu for a while, Zhao Fang could only praise Boss Li for his good vision.

"Mr. Li's eyes are like a torch, and he can spot such a good project at a glance. I admire it."

Li Yu was very useful to hear a flattery from Zhao Fang's mouth.

"Hehe, that's natural."

With that said, Li Yu took out another script investment plan.

"Look, this is the next project I will invest in. The novel "The Legend of Zhen Huan" will be adapted into a TV series. It is planned to shoot 76 episodes, with an estimated investment of 8600 million..."

The signature pen in Zhao Fang's hand fell directly on the table, and the meeting room was silent.

Zhao Fang looked at the stack of materials in Li Yu's hand, wriggled her throat twice, and then said with a face full of shock:

"Mr. Li, this...is the investment too big?"

Not to mention Zhao Fang, even Li Yu was shocked when he first came into contact with this large-scale TV series with a scale of hundreds of millions.

2k novel
But for this TV series, Li Yu still has confidence.

There are three reasons:
First, the main thing is trust in the system.

The TV series is actually modified on the basis of the outline of the novel. The overall direction is correct, and the taste has not changed. As long as it is not tossing around, there is a high probability that it will not hit the street. It is just a matter of earning more and less.

Second, the screenwriters, directors and leading actors of the TV series are all veteran TV series people who have been famous for a long time.In addition, Li Yu's production budget is also sufficient. When casting the cast, as long as the actors with good acting skills and good looks are selected, it is not a big problem to make a high-quality film.

Thirdly, Li Yu has a trump card that no one else knows about!

For the TV series "The Legend of Zhen Huan", Li Yu is going to let Lan Ruoxi wear the hat of a screenwriter and follow up the filming of the TV series.

With this background, even if the TV drama is made into a pile of shit, there is no need to worry about no TV station buying it in the first round...

As we all know, as long as the first round of sales is good, the investment principal can basically be recovered.

Of course, this is just a trump card, and Li Yu will not use it unless he has to.

With these three layers of protection, Li Yu has no worries about investing in "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

But he ran into the old problem again...

I have 100% confidence, but I can't explain it.

Li Yu can only guarantee it with his personality again.

"Mr. Zhao, don't worry, the novel "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is very popular, and the TV series has a mass base."

"In addition, the director, screenwriter, and leading actor I'm looking for are all celebrities. Not only will this investment not lose money, but it will also make a lot of money!"

...

Hearing Li Yu's "don't worry" and "definitely making money" arguments again, Zhao Fang could only shake her head helplessly...

Mr. Li's ability to make money is nothing to say, but his ability to spend money is even greater.

She felt that she still had to remind her.

"Mr. Li, even if the movie earns 5000 to 8000 million, it is impossible for our company to spend more than [-] million to invest in TV dramas in the next few months..."

Li Yu has long been prepared for the issue of funds.

"First of all, the money is not a one-time payment. The filming of the TV series is expected to be completed in October, and we have five months."

"In addition, we have a successful precedent for investing in movies. We can borrow a sum of money from the bank to invest in TV dramas this time."

"I have already consulted that the bank can provide up to 50% of the total investment in loan funds. When the TV series is finished filming and sold for money, we can repay the bank loan first."

After Li Yu's calculations, Moyu Technology only needs to spend 4300 million.

Well, I just spent the money earned by "Huaxia Partner"...

Zhao Fang even wondered if Boss Li did the calculation on purpose.

In just ten minutes, a TV drama project with an investment of nearly [-] million was finalized.

This means that in the company that Li Yu holds 100% of its holdings, if you switch to another company, you will be sorry for the "billion" unit for a few months...

After Li Yu finished speaking, Chen Jihua said:

"As for the person in charge of Moyu Entertainment, I have contacted several suitable candidates and are making further contacts. It is expected that they will be in place before the end of this month to ensure that the project will not go wrong."

Li Yu was very satisfied with Chen Jihua's tacit understanding of rushing to the front to throw money, and someone behind him to take care of the aftermath.

"The management of the film and television entertainment company will be in place as soon as possible. This section will be one of the core links connecting the entire company in the future. There is no room for loss!"

Li Yu's positioning for film and television entertainment companies is very clear.

One is to turn the high-quality novels of Moyu and Xiaoxiang Academy into IP film and television resources. In the future, it may be further extended to animation, animation and other fields to open up the entertainment industry chain.

The second is to create rich content, which includes not only movies and TV drama resources, but also online dramas like "Diaosi Man".

These two areas are still in the exploratory stage. When the company is fully staffed and the follow-up funds are in place, Li Yu will recruit directors and screenwriters on a large scale, build his own professional shooting team, and produce content on a large scale for his own website.

Li Yu did this not only because the company has sufficient IP resources, but also because it is too expensive to purchase online film and television copyrights now!
Investing in the development of instant messaging, websites and information community websites, the total investment in technology costs is less than 500 million.

Li Yu's initial budget was 4000 million, leaving 3500 million for content construction.

Among them, 1000 million is to buy the right to broadcast the film and television network, but after asking the price in the market, I found out that this amount of money is simply a drop in the bucket.

Not to mention the exclusive broadcasting rights, those are sky-high prices.

Even if the entire network opens up the sale of film and television resources, any movie or TV series that catches the eye will cost hundreds of thousands...

1000 million, buy dozens of rotten high-end film and television resources, is there a bird to use?

After Li Yu learned about this situation, he directly decided not to buy it!

Rather than being slaughtered by people as a fool, it is better to spend money to make exclusive film and television resources.

As long as the work is attractive enough, even if the content is less at the beginning, it can attract enough users.

When there are enough users on the website, I believe it will also attract the favor of many independent film and television producers, small and beautiful, no worse than big and all...

After talking about the two important things in the future, Li Yu began to listen to the company's performance growth report for nearly half a month.
