Chapter 85 Investment at the Door

As a movie for the Lunar New Year celebration, "Party A and Party B" is still in theaters. It has been in theaters for almost two months now, and the box office has reached 3700 million.

After experiencing a small climax during the few days of the Spring Festival holiday, the growth rate of the box office has leveled off again, and there is still room for an increase of more than one million at most.

It is meaningless to continue to extend the release cycle, and the movie will be taken off the shelves at the end of February.

As Qi Wei expected, that person chose to swallow his anger for the time being, and no news about himself and Gao Yuanyuan broke out.

After Gao Yuanyuan was settled, she spent a few days relaxing with her. In late February, the high-spirited Qi Wei began to devote himself to the production of the new album.

Just started to work, a group of unexpected guests came to Qi Wei's film and television company.

It was a distinguished guest, Qi Wei immediately put down his work and rushed from his record company to his film and television company.

Well.... both in the same office building, just upstairs.

"Han Sanye, you are an elder, how dare I bother you to go there in person, if you need anything, just make a phone call, and I will do everything up to you."

Seeing the person Qi Wei immediately greeted him enthusiastically, saying compliments.

Going to the Three Treasure Hall for nothing, Qi Wei saw that Han Sanping was followed by two people. Although he didn't know him, he probably guessed some of his intentions.

Han Sanping smiled and said: "That's right, part of the box office share of "Party A and Party B" has already come down. I'm here to inform you, and it will be credited to your account in a few days."

"I shouldn't bother you to come over for this matter." Qi Wei glanced at the two people behind Han Sanping, and continued:
"Mr. Han, I made a fortune with you this time. The younger generation is a bit greedy. Can you introduce some more projects so that I can have another sip of soup?"

"Are you still interested in film investment?"

"Of course, you can see that I have established a film and television company now, so I definitely want to make a difference in film and television."

"Row!"

These words hit Han Sanping's heart, he laughed, and introduced the two people who came together to Qi Wei.

"This is director Kang of Xiaoxiang Studio, and this is director Huo Jianqi."

Qi Wei warmly reached out his hands to shake hands one by one, and introduced himself: "Director Kang, Hello Director Huo, I am Qi Wei, it is an honor to meet you two."

"Young man, not bad, you are young and promising." Director Kang praised with a smile, and then said straight to the point:

"You are young, so I will call you Xiao Qi. I wonder if you have read "The Man That Mountain That Dog" written by Peng Jianming?"

While Director Kang was speaking, director Huo Jianqi who was next to him handed a script to Qi Wei.

"Is it about the story of the postman in the village? It seems to have been read before, but I can't remember it clearly. It's a very warm story."

Qi Wei pretended to be embarrassed and smiled, and began to read the adapted script.

While flipping through the script quickly, Qi Wei has already started to brainstorm the memories of future generations, recalling this novel.

Director Kang said: "This is a very good story. We intend to adapt this novel into a movie, and we intend to let Mr. Teng Rujun play the leading role, but it's just that."

"Did you encounter any problems?" Qi Wei asked knowingly.

Director Huo Jianqi was a little embarrassed to speak, and answered truthfully: "There are not many investors who are interested in this movie, and we haven't attracted enough investment so far."

"This is a beggar coming to my home!" Qi Wei thought to himself that it was so.

The novel of "The Man on the Mountain, That Dog" has no ups and downs in the plot itself. In order to preserve the essence of the original work, the adapted script is the same. The story is warm but simple, and the story rhythm is slow and old-fashioned.

It tells a story from the countryside again. Mainland audiences have long been tired of watching such a movie, and it is not popular at all.

If the audience doesn't like it, it means that if they don't go to the cinema, there will be no box office. If there is no box office, it means that the investment is a loss. Knowing that it is a loss means that no one wants to be taken advantage of and invest.

Investors in literary films based on such novels will not like them, but they are very popular with these mainland filmmakers.

It's a pity that after the film reform, the major film studios have to be responsible for their own profits and losses. Even the best-operated Beijing Film Studio in the Mainland has to pay the sales quota to complete the shooting task, let alone other film studios.

It is simply impossible to provide the same level of protection as previous literary films, and Director Kang of Xiaoxiang Studio is also powerless.

The director of Kang and Han Sanping had an inseparable relationship, so he found Han Sanping.

And now he found Qi Wei again.

Qi Weisi was silent for a while, and asked, "I don't know how much investment this movie needs?"

Director Kang replied: "The plan is 300 million."

"Then I don't know how much investment you have already drawn?"

When Qi Wei asked, director Huo Jianqi stretched out two fingers in embarrassment.

Qi Wei pretended to frown and said to himself: "Two million, that is to say, there is still a difference of one million."

Director Huo Jianqi corrected him: "It's not 200 million, it's 20."

"."

Qi Wei was a little speechless, and felt a little embarrassed for them. It seemed that no one was optimistic about this movie project and was unwilling to invest.
Seeing that Qi Wei was silent and seemed unwilling to invest, director Huo Jianqi quickly said: "It doesn't need to be as much as 300 million, and 250 million is about the same. I really think it's too much. We can save a little, and 200 million can also be accommodated." "

While paying attention to Qi Wei's expression, he bargained.

At this time, Qi Wei closed the script, glanced at Han Sanping, and said directly: "Don't be so troublesome, I still like this script, and my film and television company will invest the remaining 280 million in this movie. "

In fact, as long as it is people and film projects brought by Han Sanping, Qi Wei will invest no matter what film project it is.

why?

Qi Wei invested in "Party A and Party B" before, which seems to have solved Han Sanping's urgent need, and made Han Sanping owe a favor.

But with the box office hit of "Party A and Party B", this movie will bring Qi Wei several times the investment income, so the situation is different.

My project has made you a lot of money. People who don’t know how to be grateful will think that they are no longer in debt, and if they are more sinister, they will even think that you are taking advantage of the fire and stealing the fruits of victory.

The human heart is the most complicated.

For the future development of the film and television company, to climb the big tree of Hansanping, and to be more on the safe side, Qi Wei is not going to get back the 150 million investment and income.

The money itself is nothing to the current Qi Wei. In this case, it is better to push the boat along the way and send Han San to comment on favors.

If you sell favors, you will sell them to the end.

He would invest in whatever movie he wanted to invest in.

As the saying goes, a loss is a blessing. If Han Sanping makes you lose money in a film and television project, he will definitely make it up for you in the local area.The more obedient you are, the more you will make up.

If you look at Huayi Brothers, you will understand that later Han Sanping asked Huayi Brothers to invest in Chen Dao's "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" and Jiang Wen's "The Devil Is Coming". These two films have made Huayi Brothers miserable , and then began to give great support to Huayi Brothers' resources.

And most importantly, the film project "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" is not a money-losing product at all.

It is true that mainland audiences are not interested in this movie, and it will not sell at the box office in the mainland.

But not necessarily abroad.

Others think it is a hot potato, but who would have thought that it is a piece of beautiful jade wrapped in rocks.

Naturally, Qi Wei would not miss the fat meat delivered to his door.
