This star is too fierce

Chapter 265, Jiang Wen and Xu Jinglei

People can't be idle for too long. If you are idle, you will become lazy, and if you are lazy, you will become decadent.

Early this morning, Lu Bu went to the office building of Meng Jiang's studio with Yu Feihong.

"Brother Wen, are you here for work?" Lu Bu found Jiang Wen was already there when he arrived, so he joked with him.

"You provide me with room and board, and I'll come." Jiang Wen laughed.

"Who is this?" Lu Bu saw that he was accompanied by a 30-year-old woman with a delicate appearance and a literary temperament.

"A friend of mine is Xu Jinglei." Jiang Wen introduced.

"Hello Mr. Lu, Sister Yu." Xu Jinglei greeted politely.

"Hello." Lu Bu greeted.

"Don't come here without any problems." Yu Feihong said lightly.

"Thank you sister for your concern." Xu Jinglei smiled slightly.

"You guys know each other?" Lu Bu asked curiously.

"Sister Yu is my homeroom teacher at Nortel." Xu Jinglei explained.

"Let's chat in my office." After Yu Feihong finished speaking, he turned to the assistant behind him and said, "Xiao Wang, go make some cups of tea."

Seeing her, Lu Bu's mood was not as relaxed and happy as when he went out. It probably had something to do with Xu Jinglei, but it's not easy to ask now, so he chatted with Jiang Wen shoulder to shoulder: "Brother Xi didn't come with you?"

Jiang Wen shook his head and said: "No, he, he accepted a criminal investigation drama, what's it called..."

Yu Feihong interjected: ""Iron Blood Youth"."

Jiang Wen smiled and said, "That's right, I just joined the crew for a few days."

Lu Bu tentatively asked, "You came here this time for a new show?"

Jiang Wen nodded, and said: "Jinglei made a script, and planned to direct and act on her own, and asked me to be the leading actor. This script is adapted from the novel of the same name by the Austrian writer Stefan Zweig. It's a pretty good story. I just wanted to come over and see if I could get some money from Mr. Yu."

Lu Bu glanced at Xu Jinglei, but he didn't expect to be a director.

however……

He didn't know that the seemingly quiet woman in front of him was actually not simple at all.

In 93, 19-year-old Xu Jinglei was admitted by Nortel, and became classmates with Liu Lin, Liu Mei, and Jia Jingwen. Just when other classmates knew nothing about the future, Xu Jinglei met the greatest nobleman in her life, Wang Shuo. She was still a sophomore at the time, and Wang Shuo was not only 16 years older than Xu Jinglei, but also had a wife and daughter.

Wang Shuo was a well-known master at the time. He, Zheng Xiaolong, Ye Daying, Ye Jing and other big courtyard children were the founders of the "Beijing Circle", and Xu Jinglei's self-confident and somewhat cynical attitude was exactly in line with the stubborn masters of the Beijing Circle. , when a talented man meets a beautiful woman, it’s like a lightning strikes the earth, a year-end love unstoppably happens, Wang Shuo, who has a little girlfriend, the first thing to do, of course, is to spend resources to make her famous, "You at the same table ", "A Romantic Thing"

Later, Wang Shuo got divorced. In addition, he always hated the world, and his writing was straightforward, so the criticism of him from the outside world reached its peak at this time. Some people even said that they wanted to take off one of Wang Shuo's legs. , Now he is really scared. In 97, he went to the United States to avoid the limelight. Before leaving, he deliberately confessed to his friends in the circle that he must take good care of Xu Jinglei.

In 98, she starred in "Carry Love to the End" and became the most popular newcomer at that time.Xu Jinglei bought a mobile phone and bought a house before graduation. This is something her college classmates dare not even think about, but she has achieved it easily. From an actor to a director, she seems to be effortless. Last September, she The self-written and directed film "My Father and I" was released as scheduled. Although Wang Shuo's name was not listed among the main creative staff of the film, the leading actors Ye Daying and Jiang Wen are both Wang Shuo's friends.

"How much money is short?"

"It's still 1500 short."

The script Xu Jinglei brought this time, "A Letter from a Strange Woman", still has Wang Shuo pointing it out in the dark. What is the estimated total investment for this film?"

Xu Jinglei said truthfully: "2000 million."

When Yu Feihong heard this, he frowned slightly.

Lu Bu smiled lightly, and said, "Do you know what a literary film with an investment of 2000 million means? It means 'losing money'."

"In terms of business, my words may be a bit blunt."

"Two large-scale literary films were released this year. One is "Baby in Love" with an investment of 4200 million yuan, starring Zhou Xun, Huang Jue, and Chen Kun. It finally won a box office of 1500 million yuan. The other is With an investment of 3000 million, "Little Things in the Big City" starring Lai Ming and Wang Jingwen won a box office of 1052 million in Hong Kong, while the mainland only had a box office of 800 million, and all of them were blood losses."

Xu Jinglei explained: "Although "A Letter from a Strange Woman" is not like those action and martial arts movies, it has universal emotions and is suitable for all ages. The story itself can cross borders and ages. I changed the background of the story to the 20th century. In Beiping in the 30s, the viewability has increased again, because there were too many films in the magic capital in the 20s, but in recent years, few people have made films in Beiping in the 30s. This script can bear such a large scale. It was made because it has a commercial basis."

Lu Bu looked at Jiang Wen and asked, "Brother Wen, what do you think?"

Jiang Wen smiled dryly: "When I first read this story, I was basically moved from the beginning to the end. I think it has more commercial value."

Lu Bu shrugged his shoulders and said, "The success of "Titanic" cannot be replicated. If you can keep the cost of this movie within 1000 million, you may be able to make a small profit."

He may not know how to make movies, but from the perspective of an audience and a boss, Xu Jinglei's script is not worth the investment of 2000 million, or even 1000 million is too much.

Yu Feihong glanced at him in surprise, and spent the whole day leisurely, either practicing martial arts or drinking tea, but he didn't expect that he knew so much about the film market, it turned out that he didn't understand everything!

Xu Jinglei sighed, and said, "1000 million is definitely not enough, I'll find another way."

Lu Bu looked at Yu Feihong and blinked twice.

Yu Feihong understood, and said: "Brother Wen, you also know what the main focus of this studio opened by Abu is, basically all the funds are paid by him alone, and he just held a concert for Brother Xu, and then I voted in "Mythology", "Iron Blood Youth", "Shuiyuedongtian" and many other film and television dramas, and there is not much money left in the account. For this movie, 200 million is the limit."

This is half true.

The implication is that 200 million is invested based on your face, and it doesn't matter whether you earn or lose.

Jiang Wen showed joy, and said sincerely: "Brother, thank you."

He didn't expect that Lu Bu and Yu Feihong could fill the 1500 million vacancy, but that they could fill in a little bit.

Xu Jinglei also said politely: "Thank you Mr. Lu, thank you Sister Yu."

After sending the two away, Lu Bu learned about Xu Jinglei's "deeds" from Yu Feihong.

When a real person can't be judged by her appearance, at first glance she looks like a good girl who is so traditional that she can no longer be traditional, but she is actually a woman who is playing with a man's superiority. She even said to Wang Shuo's original partner at the age of 20, "I am always at your house." The bedroom is swaggering in and out, so you just give him to me!" Such words.

So even if Xu Jinglei was a good friend's girlfriend, Yu Feihong still couldn't like this woman.

Lu Bu sighed, "If you told me earlier, I would have saved the 200 million yuan."

Yu Feihong pursed his lips and said, "Old Wang also asked me to take care of her more, and I will pay for it myself."

"See what you're talking about." Lu Bu pinched her chin lightly, and said softly, "Can I let you pay for this money yourself? It's an investment in the studio, but Brother Wen didn't say anything." Wrong, this script has a certain commercial value, it’s only an investment of 2000 million, and it needs a box office of 6000 million to make it back. How many movies can sell so much money now? Not to mention it’s an art film, so as long as you can control it a little The cost, with a high probability, is not a loss, and even a small profit can be made."

Yu Feihong stared at him obsessively, with eyes full of admiration and admiration, and said, "Why do you know everything?"

Lu Bu smiled slightly, and said frankly: "I thought I could share the work for you, so I went to watch some TV dramas and film business materials and information."

Feeling warm in Yu Feihong's heart, it is a happy thing to be cared about and cared for by his lover, and he said immediately: "I will give you a reward."

Upon hearing this, Lu Bu looked around and said, "Here? Is it so exciting?"

"What are you thinking?" Seeing that he misunderstood, Yu Feihong blushed and spat, then got up and went to the drawer of the desk to get a folder, said: "I mean this."

There was a look of disappointment in Lu Bu's eyes, he took the folder from her hand, opened it, it was a contract.

"This is Bulgari's endorsement contract." Yu Feihong sat next to him and explained: "Bulgari jewelry brand was established in 1884 and is headquartered in Rome, Italy. It is one of the world's top 500 brands. Famous for its quality, innovative shapes and excellent service, the design and production of jewelry are very exquisite. It entered our Chinese market at the beginning of this year. A few days ago, Xiaoli talked about their first endorsement. Let's see which one is for you' Little Girlfriend'!"

International luxury brand?

This is the first time to get such a big endorsement.

But Lu Bu put his arms around her waist and said, "This must belong to you."

Yu Feihong's eyes darkened, and he said: "The requirements are young, beautiful, and popular."

Lu Bu knew that she was always concerned about age, so he immediately said, "You are in your prime, don't underestimate yourself."

Yu Feihong blurted out: "I am 33 years old this year."

Lu Bu immediately suppressed his smile, gently pulled her into his arms, looked directly into her eyes, and said to her solemnly, "So what? You know, I'm over 800 years old."

His gaze was very strange, it seemed sincere and pure, and under his gaze, Yu Feihong felt that he had changed from "sister" to "sister". After a moment of silence, he murmured: "You It really killed me." Then he smiled sweetly and said, "I'm telling you something serious."

Lu Bu smiled and said, "You decide this matter, give it to whoever you want."

Yu Feihong smiled slyly and said, "Who can I give it to?"

Lu Bu pretended to be stupid, and said, "Didn't you say in the morning that there were some play appointments for me to check, where are they?"

Yu Feihong didn't continue to ask, and got up to get some folders.

Xia Yu, Yuan Wei, the movie "A Date with the Police"...

Hu Jing, the TV series "Tiger General of the Yang Family"...

Zeng Lai, the TV series "New Tales from a Liaozhai Studio: Painted Skin"...

Gao Yuanyuan, the movie "Green Red"...

Wang Baoqiang, the movie "Slaying the Wolf", "New Police Story"...

All are arranged.

Except for Wang Baoqiang who got the two supporting roles, everyone else got the leading roles.

There is no other way, it is very difficult to find an appointment for Wang Baoqiang to play the leading role at present, if there is a supporting role to play, he will act first.

Lu Bu took a look at the investment, the main creative team, the cast, and the synopsis of the story, all of which were quite satisfactory, and said, "I don't see any problem."

Yu Feihong nodded and said, "Okay, I'll have someone send the materials and the script to them later."

Lu Bu asked again: "Are all these movies and TV series invested?"

Yu Feihong replied: "There are all of them, but the amount is not high, between 100 million and 200 million."

After tasting the sweetness of investing in film and television dramas in "The Sky", "Conquest", and "Blind Well", since the beginning of this year, he has invested in many movies and TV dramas one after another.

Yu Feihong adopted the method of spreading the net widely and low investment. After all, today's film and television market is unpredictable, and the wind changes every moment. No one can be [-]% sure which movie will lose money and which movie will make money.

Lu Bu glanced at the investment list, and immediately said, "Is there enough money in the account? If not, I'll transfer some into it."

Yu Feihong nodded and said: "That's enough, I've invested so much so far, and I'll consider the next investment after I get back a wave of funds."

There is still a lot of money in Lu Bu's personal account.

On Ren Wei's side, Shudi's original ecological hotpot and Three Kingdoms Bars have opened in eleven major cities, with a total of more than thirty.

Also, he now owns seven properties, all of which are located in the center of a big city.

What's more, Shanda acquired Qidian a while ago.

After a follow-up investment, his stake in Qidian reached 20%.

The remaining 80% is 10% for Ren Wei, 10% for Yu Feihong, and 60% for the six gentlemen from the starting point.

Among them, Ren Wei and the six gentlemen from the starting point are in favor of selling.

As for him, he originally planned to go with Ren Wei, but the grand asking price was 200 million US dollars, and there was not much money to share, so he and Yu Feihong decided to sell half of it, get some money back, and keep the remaining half. .

Shanda also accepted, and 85% of the shares are enough to control the starting point.

In short, if all assets are counted, he is just a little bit close to being a billionaire.

However, he is still far away from his goal of earning [-] million a year.

Yanjing, a community.

Gao Yuanyuan was startled when he heard the sound of a key opening the door. He was relieved when he saw that it was Lu Bu. He was happy in his heart, but with an angry expression on his face, he said, "Do you still remember that you have a girlfriend?" ah?"

Lu Bu smiled apologetically and said, "I'm dealing with some things in the studio."

Gao Yuanyuan looked at this thoughtful and caring face day and night, couldn't pretend anymore, and threw herself into his arms.

Lu Bu hugged her tightly. In the past year, he spent the least amount of time with her, and felt a little guilty.

Therefore, when dry firewood meets fire, a raging fire is inevitable.

This fire is burning, burning, why is there the sound of water?
