1993 My China Entertainment Age

Listening to Jiang Xiaofeng's sweet words, Tao Hong felt happy in her heart, and did not question whether it was true or not. She said with emotion: "Xiaofeng, I have no regrets in being with you for so many years."

"I, Tao Hong, am a member of your Jiang family in life and a ghost of your Jiang family in death."

Jiang Xiaofeng interrupted: "Bah! It's broad daylight, and you're talking about death. It's unlucky."

Tao Hong smiled and replied: "Okay, I'll listen to you and won't say anything more."

Without waiting for Jiang Xiaofeng to answer, Tao Hong suddenly seemed to remember something and continued, "I have a script. Can you help me with it and decide whether I should invest in it?"

Jiang Xiaofeng asked with interest: "What script?"

"Wait a moment," Tao Hong said, then went to the drawer, took out the script and handed it to Jiang Xiaofeng.

When Jiang Xiaofeng saw the words "Little Joy" written on the cover of the script, his eyes lit up.

Because in Jiang Xiaofeng's previous life memories, he knew clearly that "Little Joy" was a very popular TV series.

Especially Sha Yi’s words “Yingzi, open the door daddy” are still fresh in people’s memory.

In Jiang Xiaofeng's opinion, the play "Little Joy" is definitely worth investing in, but he still pretends to be ignorant and asks Tao Hong about the plot of the play.

The drama is adapted from the novel of the same name by Lu Yinggong. It tells the tragic and happy stories of three families, the Fang family, the Ji family, and the Qiao family, as they face the college entrance examination during the third year of high school.

After listening to Tao Hong's brief introduction, Jiang Xiaofeng pretended to think for a moment and said, "This is a good topic. You can invest in it. It feels quite interesting."

Tao Hong asked with a smile: "Really? Then I voted?"

Jiang Xiaofeng smiled and nodded: "Invest, you should be able to make some money."

Tao Hong then asked: "Since you are so optimistic about this project, should our company also invest some money? Huang Lei and I are still trying to attract investment, but we are still short of 2000 million yuan."

Although Jiang Xiaofeng is not short of money and Century Entertainment Group is not short of money, no one will complain about having too much money.

Moreover, Jiang Xiaofeng’s current investment in movies or TV series is not mainly to make money, but to try to increase the market value of the entertainment group.

If Jiang Xiaofeng can invest in the drama "Little Joy" and obtain the online broadcasting rights of the drama, it will also be a good thing for the company's market value.

Jiang Xiaofeng thought it was feasible, and immediately replied: "Okay, then our family will invest 2000 million, it's not a big deal."

"By the way, how much did you invest?"

Tao Hong smiled and replied: "I also invested 2000 million, but I didn't dare to invest too much for fear of losing money."

Jiang Xiaofeng then asked: "How much is the total investment for this play?"

Tao Hong replied truthfully: "About 2 small goals."

Although Jiang Xiaofeng was well aware of how horrible the pay was in the entertainment industry in recent years, the production cost of an urban drama, 2 million yuan, still exceeded his expectations.

Jiang Xiaofeng couldn't help but exclaimed: "Why are there so many? There shouldn't be any big-name stars in your play, right?"

"Aren't there just you, Huang Lei, and Sha Yi? There shouldn't be any other stars, right?"

Tao Hong denied: "Not only that, but also Hai Qing, Wang Yanhui and others."

Jiang Xiaofeng nodded and asked, "How much is Huang Lei's pay?"

Tao Hong said: "75 per episode, 49 episodes in total, almost 3600 million." "He was also listed as the producer and screenwriter, so he could take million by himself."

Jiang Xiaofeng thought, isn't this the same trick he used? Even if there is a salary limit order, it is useless. As long as an actor has multiple roles, he can not only get high pay in a legitimate way, but also make more money through investment.

If the drama "Little Joy" becomes popular, Huang Lei alone can earn about 100 million yuan, including the film remuneration, or even more.

In fact, these days, not to mention star actors like Huang Lei, even some unknown little actors can get millions in pay.

As for the most popular actors and stars at the moment, such as Fan Bingbing, Lu Han and others, their annual income is as high as 200 to 300 million, and in fact it may be even more.

In the 2017 Forbes China Celebrity List alone, there were more than 30 celebrities whose income exceeded million yuan.

Jiang Xiaofeng was not surprised by this. After all, after capital poured into the entertainment industry, the salaries of actors began to rise.

Even Shuang, who is on the edge of the first-tier line, can earn up to 208 million yuan a day in a certain play. A play can take three to five months, so it is easy for her to earn a small amount of money.

Therefore, Jiang Xiaofeng did not want to interfere too much in the investment of the drama "Little Joy". He just invested 2000 million yuan and then saw if he could let Orange Video buy the online broadcasting rights of "Little Joy".

If not, it doesn’t matter. Century Entertainment Group will launch a large number of movies and TV series every year anyway, and Orange Video has no intention of competing with Tencent, Youku, and iQiyi.

Now that he is so rich, Jiang Xiaofeng really doesn't plan to quit. In no more than 10 years, he decides to quit this circle and hand over the company to his successor.

Seeing that Jiang Xiaofeng didn't say a word and seemed to be worried, Tao Hong asked in confusion: "Why don't you say anything? What are you thinking about?"

Jiang Xiaofeng smiled and denied: "I didn't think much about it, I just felt that it's too easy for actors to make money nowadays."

Tao Hong said disapprovingly: "You have to be famous and popular. If you are an ordinary actor, you won't get much pay."

Jiang Xiaofeng replied: "Of course, the income of any industry is a pyramid."

"..."

As they chatted, Jiang Xiaofeng smelled Tao Hong's scent, looked at her increasingly mature face and temperament, and became interested again.

Although Jiang Xiaofeng does not admit that he is a mature womanizer and has deep feelings for young girls such as Song Yun and Xiaotian, judging from the two older sisters Liu Xiaoli and Tao Hong with whom he has been dating for many years, he is indeed very interested in mature women.

There is a saying that goes, wine becomes mellower with age, and friendship becomes deeper with old times.

No wonder Jiang Xiaofeng is still very interested in Liu Xiaoli and Tao Hong.

Looking at the angry Jiang Xiaofeng, Tao Hong smiled and said, "Can you do it? It's only been a short while since we've done it. Don't be so stubborn. Your health is more important!"

Jiang Xiaofeng knew that Tao Hong was joking and deliberately trying to provoke him, but he still felt insulted when he heard Tao Hong say that.

Without any hesitation, Jiang Xiaofeng immediately replied: "Tao Hong, is it because I haven't dealt with you for too long? You dare to provoke me?"

If it was 20 years ago, or 10 years ago, Tao Hong certainly wouldn't dare to provoke Jiang Xiaofeng easily.

However, things are different now. Jiang Xiaofeng, who is in his 40s, has long passed his peak and is no longer the omnipotent little bully he used to be.

As Taohong grows older, she has reached her peak. It can be said that things change over time.

Tao Hong said proudly: "I really am provoking you! Come and deal with me if you have the guts!"
