I Won a Prize of 100 Million at the Beginning, and I Became a Capital Boss

Chapter 90 Meeting with Star Lord!

On September [-], Zheng Wentong flew to Xiangjiang with Xu Ru, Meng Qian and Zhao Hailong.

Xu Ru looked at Zheng Wentong's neck with a half-smile, "Boss, do you need to apply concealer? Although the hickey marks are very shallow, careful people will still find it a bit indecent."

She pretended to be puzzled, "Xiaolu is not like such a wild girl, you are tired of being together every day, are you stealing food outside behind her back?"

"Hey, our company's yin is flourishing and yang is declining. You women have started to help each other. Zhang Yi and his colleagues went out to have a barbecue, and someone tipped Guo Yuxin."

"Even if I have a meal with my partner, Xiaolu can hear the news. I have a chance, unless you guard yourself."

Xu Ru blushed, "Zhou Xingchi's guarantee for "Mermaid" is as high as 18 billion. No distribution company in the mainland dares to take over. We feel a bit disadvantaged in rushing over like this."

"Investment means making a decisive move when others are hesitant to wait and see. There is never a shortage of investment funds for good projects. If Zhou Xingchi guarantees a minimum of 10 billion yuan, do you think others will invest? Will the opportunity be ours?"

"One actor a year, Zhou Xingchi for a hundred years, in Chinese movies, Xingye is the biggest IP."

Meng Qian teased the boss, "I just watched the video of Chai Jing's interview with Zhou Xingchi. Zhou Xingchi was moved by Chai Jing's exclusive interview, and he said two 'thank you' in succession. Be careful of Xingye's embarrassment later."

Zheng Wentong has also watched this video, how many fans did the gray-haired Zhou Xingchi cry when he said "thank you".

"We can't meet Zhou Xingchi with the mentality of fans. If you put personal emotions into it, you will not be a successful businessman. Remember, capital is always for profit."

"Zhou Xingchi is not only an excellent director and actor, but also an excellent businessman. Wu Mengda has co-produced so many classic movies with him. It is still Xingye who gets the big head and Wu Mengda gets the salary."

Zhao Hailong is also a fan of Master Xing, and participated in the discussion for the first time, "Some people compare the combination of Master Xing and Uncle Da to Jordan and Pippen in the movie industry, I think it is wrong."

"Without Uncle Da, Zhou Xingchi can still make popular and popular movies, but without Zhou Xingchi, it is not easy for Uncle Da to play a supporting role."

Zhou Xingchi's residence is located at No. 10 Pollock Road, Hong Kong Island, on the top of Victoria Peak. He bought it for HK$04 million in 3 and renovated it. Master Xing also gave him a domineering name: Tianbigao.

Three bungalows are arranged together, one for self-occupation, one for office, and one for receiving friends and visitors. There is a swimming pool outside, and you can overlook Victoria Bay from the top of the hill.

Xu Ru looked at and admired the mansion on the top of the hill, dazzled, "The rich people in Hong Kong Island still enjoy life, and the swimming pool is the standard equipment for the rich."

"There are also many villas in Puhai with their own swimming pools, such as Huazhou Junting and Shimao Sheshan Manor. After decoration, the living environment is similar to that of Master Xing."

"Mr. Zheng, you first pass the talent introduction policy and transfer your household registration to Puhai, so that you won't be restricted from buying a house."

"Let's see. If COFCO Haijing No. [-] and Tangchen Yipin have a large flat floor with an indoor swimming pool, I will consider buying it here."

At present, Zheng Wentong owns three sets of real estate, one set of Shangfang Garden, one set of Hangzhou Binjiang. Qiantang Impression, and one set of Chinese-style courtyard house by Taihu Lake in Suzhou.

"Actually, if Xinghui hadn't insisted on paying the guaranteed percentage in advance, there would still be some film distribution companies willing to take over such a big deal."

Xinghui Overseas Co., Ltd. and Huayi Brothers previously signed a guaranteed release of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons". The two parties agreed that the 5 million box office will be calculated as a bonus.

In the end, "Journey to the West Conquering the Demons" exceeded 12 billion. Zhou Xingchi asked Huayi for money, but Huayi refused to give it, and lost the lawsuit in Yanjing.

This time after the production of "The Mermaid", Zhou Xingchi has learned the skills, and he still guarantees the box office of this movie, which is between 16 billion and 18 billion, and requires the distribution company to pay the guaranteed income in advance before the movie is released.

如果按照18亿票房计算，扣除5%的电影专项基金和3.3%的相关税费，净票房分成为16.5亿，星辉海外有限公司可以提前拿到5亿5000万保底分成收入。

However, the box office of "Monster Hunt", which was released in July, has exceeded 7 billion. It was postponed for one month and became the top box office champion in the mainland in 23.Therefore, many film distribution companies hold a wait-and-see attitude towards "The Mermaid".

However, the box office of "Monster Hunt" has a lot of water, and many theaters have been exposed to ghost shows, and midnight shows are reserved.

This makes people have to suspect that the investors behind the film are using the film to launder their funds.

Zhou Zhuohua, who has invested in "Macao Storm" and "Operation Red Sea", An Yixuan's husband Chen Ronglian, and Wu Peici's husband Ji Xiaobo are all from Junket Operator, and they have a close relationship with the current leader of Huayuan Group. It is called Wangbei Tower.

Zhou Xingchi's sister, Zhou Wenji, greeted Zheng Wentong and his party downstairs, "It's Mr. Zheng Wentong, right? Jay Chou is waiting for you upstairs."

Zheng Wentong felt a little awkward, in his dictionary, Jay Chou usually defaults to Jay Chou.

Zhou Wenji works in her younger brother's company and serves as the executive director. It can be said that she is the second person after Zhou Xingchi.

Because his parents divorced early and Zhou's father was romantic, Zhou Xingchi was more afraid of marriage. Yu Wenfeng, the girlfriend he had the longest relationship with for 13 years, never got married. In the end, he went to court because of a property dispute, which made people feel embarrassed.

As for Zixia Fairy Zhu Yin and Zhou Xingchi, although they had a relationship, they broke up very early. As a result, Zhu Yin came to the mainland and was already out of breath, so she had nothing to do to hype the relationship of the star master, frequently appeared in variety shows, and made a lot of money.

When mainland audiences look at Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, they will have a kind of beauty filter, thinking that each of them is an artist with both virtue and skill.In fact, there are many bad things in the Hong Kong and Taiwan circles.

There are many female celebrities who are juniors, and Hong Kong Island billionaire Da Liu has slept with countless female celebrities, such as Li Jiaxin, Guan Zhilin, Cai Shaofen, Hong Xin and Yuan Jieying.

Of course, the enlightenment teacher Chen Guanxi is indispensable, but at least others keep their word, quit the entertainment circle as soon as they say it, it is not suitable for this bowl of food, unlike some celebrities who like to enter and leave the entertainment circle.

"Jay Chou, hello, hello." Zheng Wentong saw Zhou Xingchi and shook his hand calmly.

"Hello, I can speak Mandarin, but it may not be too shabby, so don't take offense." Zhou Xingchi was dressed more homely, with gray hair and a tired look.

"There, Master Xing's speech and articulation of "I am Chinese" sung by TVB Taiqing in 88 were very standard."

Zhou Xingchi was puzzled, "I don't know much about the Internet, and I don't play social media, but I know that Mr. Zheng also has an Internet company under his name."

"I also watched "Wolf Warrior" released by your company with a guarantee. Wu Jing is a very good actor in action movies, and there are some comedy elements in it. I plan to watch the military parade the day after tomorrow. Will it be broadcast live?"

"Sometimes I also worry that young people nowadays will not like my movies. If I can't make movies that everyone likes, I can retire with peace of mind." Zhou Xingchi spoke slowly, with a calm expression on his face.

Xu Ru looked unbearable, "Many young people born in the [-]s and [-]s in the Mainland grew up watching Master Xing's movies. Thank you for bringing us so much joy. In fact, we really owe you a movie ticket."

Zhou Xingchi waved his hand, "At that time, the mainland movie market was not open yet, and you didn't have a channel to watch the original version. "Kung Fu", "Yangtze River No. 7" and "Journey to the West", the fans in the mainland are really super enthusiastic, thank you very much. favorite."

"But today is not a fan meeting, let's talk about the movie "Mermaid"." Zhou Wenji changed the subject.

As a result, when the two parties began to negotiate, Zhou Wenji felt Zheng Wentong's shrewdness and difficulty. Zhou Xingchi gave a guaranteed minimum issuance of 18 billion, and Zheng Wentong gave 16 billion. After the tug-of-war, it was finally determined to be 17 billion.

After the minimum guaranteed issuance was negotiated, the two parties disagreed about the payment time of the guaranteed minimum share income. Xinghui asked the issuer to start paying after the agreement was signed.

Zheng Wentong insisted on paying the guaranteed share before the release of "Mermaid".

Xu Ru said that she is a die-hard fan of Stephen Chow, and she is very fond of the classic lines of Master Xing, and her admiration for Master Xing is like a surging river, which is endless, and it is like the Yellow River flooding out of control.

But when it comes to money, Ramp Capital doesn't give up an inch of money, and Xinghui pays every penny.

Zhou Xingchi broke up with his girlfriend Yu Wenfeng who had been in love for 13 years before. He would rather be sued by his girlfriend, but he still refused to pay a penny more.

During his filming of "Kung Fu", the role of the charterer was originally played by Wu Mengda, but Uncle Da gave Zhou Xingchi a two-month shooting period.

As a result, due to the postponement of SARS, Wu Mengda's other plays were about to start filming, and he would have to pay liquidated damages if he rejected it. Zhou Xingchi refused to do so, so the two had no chance to cooperate again.Relatively speaking, Zhou Xingchi valued money more, probably because his parents divorced, he came out to work early, and lacked a sense of security.

In the end, Zheng Wentong took a step back, and the two parties agreed that after the signing of the sharing agreement, Galloping Horse would first pay 5000 million RMB as a deposit.

"The Mermaid" is scheduled for the Chinese New Year on February 2016, 2, and Galloping Pony will pay the remaining 8 million guaranteed share before the film is released.

When "The Mermaid" is released, Galloping Horse will settle the remaining dividends with Xinghui Overseas Co., Ltd.

The two parties agreed that after the box office revenue exceeds 17 billion, Galloping Pony, as the distribution company, can obtain 17% of the box office profit of more than 60 billion.

Of course, the agreement stipulates that Stephen Chow needs to cooperate with Galloping Horse's publicity plan, such as going to 30 major cities in the mainland for road shows, and not to disclose any stills and trailers before the release.

Stephen Chow wants to open a personal account on Wei Toutiao to promote the "Mermaid" movie to fans.

Stephen Chow has concerns about opening a social media account. He is actually a bit socially phobic, reclusive, and doesn't like to share his private life on social media.

Moreover, he is also worried that he will say the wrong thing and offend others. He has been rejected many times before applying to immigrate to Canada because a certain film and television company boss reported him as being dark.

Zheng Wentong promised to arrange someone to help Zhou Xingchi take care of the Wei Toutiao account. Wei Toutiao will help with internal review of the content published by Zhou Xingchi, and Zhou Xingchi will be given the right to choose.

He can post as much as he wants, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't want to. Even if he only updates one or two news a year, it doesn't matter if he reports his safety.

Zhou Xingchi is not a traffic star, he needs to keep checking Weibo through the studio and buy hot searches to maintain popularity.

After the negotiation, Zheng Wentong and Zhou Xingchi took a group photo, and Xingye also presented Xu Ru and Zhao Hailong with autographed posters.

Leaving No. 10 Puhua Road, Xu Ru looked at the boss, "You always like to kill two birds with one stone, and now I'm curious as to which company the guarantee of 5 million yuan came from, Ramp Capital or Pony Galloping ?”
