Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 125 123 We keep picking up the sixpence under our feet, and don't laugh at people who like to look up at the moon.

Yu Dongqing met Li Wan in an office building in the Bright Film, Film and Television Culture Industrial Park located on Jinzhan South Road, Chaoyang.

This is his newly established producer studio, whose main business covers film and television investment and production, director brokerage, screenwriter brokerage and other businesses.

I haven't seen Li Wan at first, but a girl named Zhang Yue received him, an assistant recruited by Li Wan.

Zhang Yue warmly received Yu Dongqing, and after making tea, told him that Mr. Li went out to do some errands and would be back soon.Within 10 minutes, I saw Li Wan pushing the door and coming in, looking hurried.

"I'm sorry, Dongqing, to keep you waiting." Li Wan apologized. "Go, go to my office."

Seeing Yu Dongqing holding up the teacup again, she said with a smile, "This is hospitality tea, go to my office and drink the newly launched Longjing tea."

After speaking, he said to Zhang Yue who was standing aside: "Zhang Yue, next time Mr. Yu comes, go directly to my office to get some good tea."

"Okay, Mr. Li."

"President Li, what are you busy with? Are you investing in a new movie?" In Li Wan's office, Yu Dongqing asked with a smile.

Li Wan laughed when he heard this: "Dongqing, we are friends, so I won't pretend, I didn't talk about business just now, I went to see a new house, on the edge of the East Third Ring Road, three bedrooms and two living rooms, 120 square meters, the layout is not bad. "

But Tao Gui still sent me to the elevator and waved goodbye.

"To tell you the truth, our family of three used to live in a house of more than 40 square meters. The daughter-in-law said it was too small and the child had grown up, and it was inconvenient to live in. She complained for several years. This time, I finally made a fortune, so I just bought it. set!"

"You can also say that, mainly because the filming was wrong." Guo Jingming said modestly, and then asked: "Where is Dongsheng, what are you busy with all day? Are you going to make a film again?"

This has nothing to do with the careful publicity of the film by Tao Guixin and her investors: find the audience and conduct precise marketing on it.

The shooting was bad, and because of a bad film.

In the original time and space, the box office of "The Great Era" was actually quite impressive. The total investment cost of the four films was 4 million, but relying on commercial operations, the combined box office at the beginning exceeded 3 billion, and the investor made a net profit of 17 million.

But it did pay off!And earn less.

Yes, Guo Jingming wanted to take it out.

No one analyzed that the popularity of that IP had nothing to do with the accelerated decline of urbanization and the rise of new middle-class identity anxiety in the labor force.

"Well, I have read the script."

"It does matter, continue to look for investors, we are not in that business." Li Wan is also concerned.

"Yes, yes, what are you being polite to?" Guo Jingming agreed with a smile.

"Yes. Preparing for a new film."

"The name has been decided for the time being. It is a story about a few idlers living in coal mines who make money by harming others, such as mine disasters." Li Wan said.

The two chatted for a while, and Tao Gui took out the financial accounts of "Teacher You Are Bad" and the audit opinion issued by the accounting firm.

There are not many people who are not idealists, chewing vegetable roots and drinking porridge, counting stars under the broken grass, doing everything for what they love coldly.

"It's a vote, and only commissions are charged." Li Wan smiled.
shoot that?
Can't.
In that time and space, that Liu Xiaorui is not as capable as Yu Dongqing?
Just as Guo Jingming was about to leave, Li Wan stopped me: "Dongqing, you don't have a script or director who wants to make it. Is he interested in investing?"

What did Guo Jingming say?

Stepped on the line.

You are picking up the eightpence on your feet, and you are laughing at those who hate looking up at the moon.

It is an urban youth film, and the more Guo Jingming looks at it, the more he looks like "The Great Era" made by Yu Dongqing in this era.

Moreover, the relationship with Li Wan has also reached this point. It must be Zhang Yang that we insist on making such a film, and I will not come up with that song because of it.

The essence of the big talk is that the rich girl from the big town has no shadow of the author himself in almost all the important characters outside the book.

I am not in urgent need of money for a small amount of investment.

"Oh, look."

"I made you angry at that time. Hey, this is not a stubborn bull, but hitting the south wall and turning around!" Li Wan sighed deeply at the very beginning.

"Bad, let's go." Guo Jingming stood up.

"What about this?"

"There is a problem." Guo Jingming signed his nickname very quickly.

Guo Jingming read it sloppily, and found that the difference between the profit situation and his previous estimate was very small. His own income was 23501254.95 yuan, and due to the deduction of 20% personal income tax, it was less than [-] million yuan.

"You send him off."

"Mr. Li, am I willing to invest?" Zhang Yue waited for Guo Jingming to leave before asking in a serious voice.

"Congratulations, congratulations, when you move house, let's say congratulations on his housewarming." Guo Jingming laughed.

Although the ratings of several films on Douban did not exceed 5, and they received a small amount of praise from the Internet: what kind of story is bloody vulgar, compared to movies, the picture of the movie is more like MV, a small amount of flamboyant content, fan movies .
"Hehe, I will definitely forget you. Speaking of which, it's not a loss to him. If he invests in this song, can he earn so little?"

"Okay, wait until last time there must be no suitable film, you can find him again."

"Want to change houses?"

"You've read my script, and you think the chances of it being screened are [-]%! You advised me not to give up the filming, but I am willing! I voted back all the money I earned from that time!"

Guo Jingming suddenly thought that the "Blind Well" of the eight-part "blind" character filmed by the space-time director Li Yang was not about that aspect, but due to various reasons, that movie was not released in China!

A friend is a friend and a business is a business. Some people will spend millions for fun, unless they are fools like Wang Dongsheng.

The director is Liu Xiaorui, and he is also a director of the new generation. He has made several films, but they are all warm and hot.

"Is this his personal investment?"

It is necessary to blame us.

"You said, he is still renting a house in Yanjing. He made a small sum of about 500 million that time, and buying a house is enough. At least he doesn't have a nest in Yanjing, right? But I just listened! Do you have any daughters-in-law, what nest do you want?"

Li Wan took out a script from the bookcase and handed it to Guo Jingming, and I sat on the sofa and read it carefully.

Thinking of those, Guo Jingming asked implicitly: "Li Wan, am I not sensitive about the subject matter I am shooting? Do I know that it is difficult to pass the trial?"

"Holly, I'm sure there is no objection, and because of the signature on that form, the finances can't do the accounting. Tomorrow, you will transfer his income to his account."

Help as much as you can.

"It's a bad idea, Li Wan, you are not interested in that movie." Guo Jingming responded directly.

"What movie?" Guo Jingming asked curiously.

According to Li Wan’s investment, the producer’s 5% plus his own investment of 100 million will account for about 14% of the investment. After deducting personal income tax, he can only make a net profit of about 1300 million. Buying a set in the urban area for 120 The square meter house is more than enough.

Of course, there is not a single song that is very suitable for that movie. It is not "Time Boils the Rain" outside the big era, which is very bad.

Li Wanwei was not disappointed, but accepted it.
