Treasure Island 1992, starting from the Four Little Heavenly Kings

Chapter 118 Investment, prying corners
If Chen Qiming is not very interested in the movie that Tsui Hark mentioned.

However, Chen Qiming was very interested in this movie called "New Love", he went to Er Dongsheng and took the initiative to say hello.

"Hello, Erdao, I'm Chen Qiming."

"Hello!" Er Dongsheng looked at him, seeing that Chen Qiming was staring at the script on the table, his eyes lit up immediately, and he asked directly, "Are you interested in my play?"

Chen Qiming sat down next to him, and said vaguely: "I just heard the conversation between you and the boss. I think your script is very interesting."

After a pause, he asked, "Do you need investment?"

Er Dongsheng looked at Chen Qiming carefully.

He is no stranger to Chen Qiming.

This guy just won the Academy Award for Best Newcomer.

Originally, he thought that Chen Qiming wanted to act in this movie, but from what Chen Qiming said, he seemed to want to invest.

This made his heart that had just been extinguished by Xiang Huasheng beat again.

"Yes, it is very necessary. If I can't get the investment, I may only choose to sell the house and borrow money to shoot."

As Er Dongsheng said, he picked up the script and sighed.

"I have been preparing for this film for nearly three years, but no one has been interested in it. The current producers are all focusing on comedy, action martial arts and other genres.

I also know that these genres are more popular now, but if this kind of realistic love story is shot well, it can still get a good box office, but it's a pity..."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Chen Qiming, "If you are interested, we can chat. If you are not interested, then I'm sorry, I may need to leave, and I have to find other investors."

"Can I read the script?"

Chen Qiming asked.

He knew it was presumptuous, but he really wanted to confirm if this story was from his dream.

"Yes!" Er Dongsheng handed him the script directly.

Chen Qiming took the script and read it roughly.

The story is roughly the same as the one in the dream, with some minor differences.

But it's not a big problem. These slight differences should be changes made during shooting.

"How much investment do you need?"

Chen Qiming didn't read it carefully, and after roughly confirming that this story was the one in the dream, he put down the script and asked.

"I can come up with 300 million yuan myself. I estimate that the shooting of this drama should be about 700 million yuan. Now it is still 400 million yuan short."

Hearing Chen Qiming's inquiry, Er Dongsheng's eyes lit up even more.

Perhaps because he was afraid that this number would make Chen Qiming shy, he gritted his teeth and said, "If you think it is too high, I can reduce the cost, you only need to invest 300 million.

Don't worry about the lineup, I may not be able to get big names for the leading role, but I can for the supporting role. I have many friends, and I can invite them to play. "

"Five million!"

Hearing this number, Chen Qiming pondered.

Compared with those dramas with tens of millions at every turn, this figure is actually not a big investment.

But for actors and little singers, the money is still a lot.

However, this does not include the current Chen Qiming.

In February, the income from his second album "Fairy Tale" has already arrived.

At the time of the settlement, the album had sold 400 million copies.

Among them, the tape is 250 million, the laser is 120 million, and the vinyl is 30.

Because when this record was released, Chen Qiming hadn't signed a new contract with Fulong, so Chen Qiming's income from this record was calculated according to the original contract.

His share at that time was 12 yuan for a tape, 16 yuan for a laser CD, and [-] yuan for vinyl.

After dividing it, he can get 670 million.

If Fulong's 460% is deducted, his income is about [-] million Taiwan dollars.

Of course, Chen Qiming definitely has more than these incomes.

After "Fairy Tale" became popular, he attended many commercial activities, and also participated in a movie "New Meteor Butterfly Sword", and also released a Cantonese EP.

The money was settled in February.

In that settlement, after deducting Fulong's share, he got 800 million NT dollars.

I gave some of the money to my family, and some for my own daily expenses. Currently, I still have about 700 million Taiwan dollars.

If converted into Hong Kong dollars, it is about 500 million.

After thinking for a while, Chen Qiming asked again: "Does the hero have a goal? Can I act?"

"You?" Hearing this, Er Dongsheng hesitated.

After a while, he said: "Your salary..."

What kind of existence is Chen Qiming now?
One of the most beautiful singers in the music world this year.

Although Chen Qiming has not proven himself in the film industry, and he has not taken the lead in the few films he participated in, but now he is very popular.

You can see how popular he is from Tsui Hark looking for him.

Therefore, his salary is naturally not low.

At present, Fulong announced that the film cost is 100 million Hong Kong dollars.

Yes, it is 100 million Hong Kong dollars, which seems to make more money than his singing.

"I invested 300 million in you, plus my performance, how about 400 million investment?"

Chen Qiming said.

It is not uncommon for such investors to star in movies in Hong Kong.

Recently, Jet Li established his own film and television company with the help of Yang Dengkui.

He also invested in his own movies, and then received the salary.

This is what Chen Qiming is doing now.

He invested, and then got back 100 million as an actor.

However, considering the embarrassment of the crew of "New Love", Chen Qiming could only choose not to take the salary for the time being, but count it as an investment.

"OK! Yes!"

Er Dongsheng thought for a while, then nodded.

He also can't help it.

In fact, from the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to give this role to Chen Qiming.

Because he has promised to give this role to his friend Liu Qingyun.

The two of them met when they were filming TV series for TVB.

Although Liu Qingyun is very dark, but should I say it or not, his acting skills are outstanding, and he is very suitable for the leading actor in "New Love".

"Are you going to invest as an individual? Or as a company?"

After talking for a few more words, Er Dongsheng asked.

"I will set up a studio in Hong Kong in a few days, when the time comes, I will participate in investment as a studio!"

Chen Qiming said.

Investing in individuals and companies is different.

Well, they are all the same, the difference is that tax avoidance can be done reasonably.

Well, dodge the eagle tax.

In addition, Chen Qiming's funds are all in Taiwan dollars, which needs to be exchanged for foreign exchange.

It will be much more convenient to have a company pay the bills.

After getting the investment, Er Dongsheng seemed very happy, and even drank three cups with Chen Qiming.

Afterwards, he left the banquet on the grounds that he wanted to go back to make preparations.

Watching Er Dongsheng leave, Chen Qiming rubbed his chin, and will pay more attention to the film industry in the future.

There are definitely not many people like Er Dongsheng who are holding good movies around and bumping into walls to attract investment.

As long as he picks up a few leaks, he will definitely make a lot of money.

While Chen Qiming was thinking, he walked along the road to the banquet hall. Not far away, he suddenly saw an impressive person.

Ni Zhen.

At the beginning, because Chen Qiming praised Zhou Huimin on the show, he was stingy and ridiculed severely, which made Chen Qiming deeply impressed by him.

At this time, Ni Zhen was harassing a girl with a flirtatious face.

Coincidentally.

This girl was Sunny whom Chen Qiming thought was very pretty and wanted to say hello.

Today's Sunny is very beautifully dressed, with a short white dress and long hair shawl, fully reflecting her slender figure, coupled with that delicate little face and talking eyes, it is absolutely stunning at today's banquet Most actresses.

Pure and lovely, this is Ni Zhen's favorite.

It's a pity that Sunny is obviously very impatient, even disgusted with his approach.

With Ni Zhen's background in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, as well as his outstanding talent and ability, picking up girls is really easy for him.

Chen Qiming has seen a lot of gossip about this guy.

It's just that not everyone will buy his set of love letters and write love poems.

Perhaps, his self-righteous image of a talented scholar may not be as good as a fart in the eyes of some people.

Heroes save beauty?

no!

Chen Qiming is not stupid enough to be a hero to save the beauty in this kind of place.

Where is this place?

At the Academy Awards banquet, Ni Zhen would only pester him a little bit, he didn't dare to do anything to Sunny at all.

On the contrary, if Chen Qiming went up to make a rescue now, there would be a high probability that this peacock man would bear a grudge.

Should I say it or not, there is still something in this guy's yes report.

Being hated by him will definitely cause endless trouble.

Therefore, he did not plan to go up, but prepared to pass by directly.

However, some things are often just that dramatic.

Chen Qiming had just passed by when Ni Zhen spotted him.

This guy is really stingy to the extreme.

I still remember the last time Chen Qiming teased and expressed his love for Zhou Huimin on the show.

"Hey! Isn't this Xiao Qiming! I heard that your tapes are selling well? And because of this, the organizer gave you a best newcomer?"

Nizhen's mouth looked like it was covered in feces.

As soon as he opened his mouth, not only Chen Qiming was hurt, but even the organizer also ridiculed him.

Well, he said that the tapes sold well, not Chen Qiming's latest record, but he wanted to expose the shortcoming.

The fact that Chen Qiming sold tapes before his debut has long been known by the media.

In the eyes of most people, he is a grassroots counterattack, which is very inspirational.

But in the mouths of people like Ni Zhen, this incident became a scar, a joke, a point of ridiculing Chen Qiming as a country bumpkin.

Looking at Ni Zhen, who was dressed in a suit and wanted to turn his nostrils up to the sky when he spoke, a word came to Chen Qiming's mind, "You look like a dog."

"Mr. Ni Zhen, good evening!"

Chen Qiming said with a smile as if he didn't hear his ridicule.

It seemed that Chen Qiming didn't get angry. Ni Zhen was a little surprised, and continued to taunt: "You seem to like Vivian very much? I'm sorry, she is my girlfriend now, you are out of luck!"

"Hehe..." Chen Qiming smiled, ignored his barking, and looked at Sunny.

"Sister Sunny, are you interested in having a drink with me?"

Sunny was obviously tired of Nizhen's harassment.

Nodding directly, "Of course, I also want to meet you."

"Then let's go over there! It's too noisy here, the organizer is really unreliable, and let flies fly in..."

As Chen Qiming said, he stretched out his hand to hold Sunny's little hand, and walked to the other side.

Ni Zhen was left standing there with a gloomy face.
