Chapter 36 Share the glory and wealth!

"Director Wang, we at iQiyi are willing to acquire your studio for 1.3 million."

In the hotel box, after three drinks, Gong Mingxi got down to business.

Wang Kun said firmly: "Deal!"

Gong Mingxi's face showed surprise, as if he didn't expect Wang Kun to be so straightforward.

The bottom line of iQiyi President Ya Xi is 1.3 million, and Gong Mingxi’s offer of [-] million is to give Wang Kun room to bargain.

In Gong Mingxi's expectation, even if Wang Kun agreed to the acquisition of iQiyi, the process would not be so straightforward. He would have to bargain for a while, right?

Gong Mingxi didn't understand, but he didn't take advantage of the bastard, "Director Wang is so refreshing, when do you think we can find a time to sign the contract?"

Wang Kun raised his cup and said with emotion, "You are the happy people who love strange things. My shabby studio can still be sold for 1.3 million. When I get the money, I will turn around and open dozens of other stores. I'll give you a drink, Mr. Gong!" "

"Ahem." Gong Mingxi was choked and coughed repeatedly. After he recovered, he laughed dryly and said, "Director Wang, you really know how to joke. The prerequisite for the acquisition is that including Director Wang, the contract is ten years."

Wang Kun looked puzzled and said, "Didn't Mr. Gong joke with me first?"

1.3 million just wants Wang Kun to screw iQiyi for ten years. What are you thinking!

“Brother, listen to what I’m telling you (listen to me deceiving you). It’s undeniable that the show “The Beginning” is very successful, but can you guarantee that the next one will still be successful?

After joining us at iQiyi, we will give you support and you will have enough trial and error opportunities to accumulate experience and connections.

This is called spending other people's money to do your own things!
You are still young now. Even if you sign with iQIYI for ten years, you will only be 34 years old in ten years. This is when your skills, connections and energy are at their peak. "

Gong Mingxi had already seen that Wang Kun had no intention of joining Aiqiyi, but he still reasoned with Wang Kun and presented the facts in an attempt to make Wang Kun change his mind.

Finally, before Wang Kun could speak, Gong Mingxi said seriously, "Brother, join us, join the iQiyi family, and share the glory and wealth!"

Wang Kun looked around, and then whispered, "Work hard, work hard! Come on, come on, come on! Sleep on the floor today and be the boss tomorrow?"

Gong Mingxi's face turned dark, "Ahem, we are a regular company, not a pyramid scheme."

Wang Kun stopped smiling and said seriously, "No more joking, let's talk business. I already have a filming plan for the next drama."

Gong Mingxi was completely speechless. He almost ran out of words just now. You didn't hear a word, right?

"Director Wang, please elaborate!"

In the afternoon, Gong Mingxi returned to iQiyi headquarters and hesitated outside Yahuang's office.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Come in."

Yahuang raised his head and asked, "Old Gong is back. How was the conversation with Director Wang?"

Gong Mingxi felt a little awkward hearing this title, but who made Yahuang the president?

Forget about calling yourself Lao Gong, even if you call yourself wife, you have to listen honestly.

Gong Mingxi shook his head, "Director Wang has no intention of signing a contract with us." Seeing Yahuang frowning, Gong Mingxi hurriedly said: "But Director Wang's next drama is ready to start filming."

Yahuang waved his hand, "Forget it, everyone has his own ambitions. What type will Director Wang's next drama be? How much is the total investment, and what proportion can we take?"

Gong Mingxi said in a deep voice, "The total investment for the costume drama is estimated to be 1.2 million. Our investment is 30.00 million, accounting for [-]%. I haven't given Director Wang a reply yet."

"That's a little low."

Yahuang looked thoughtful. The investment amount was more than half, but the proportion was only one-third. That means Wang Kun's two dramas had exploded. If Yahuang was replaced, he would just let him stay where he could.

Even so, Yahuang was a little reluctant.The higher the investment in a TV series, the harder it is to recover costs and the greater the possibility of losing money.

Market cap is market capitalization and cash is cash.

For many companies with a market value of tens of billions, it would be a headache to come up with [-] million in cash in a short period of time without affecting the company's business.

This is an investment of 1.2 million, which is not a small amount for iQiyi.

Gong Mingxi hesitated and said, "Then we won't vote?"

"Vote! But we must account for at least 40.00%. In addition, we will strive to give the online broadcast rights of this drama to our iQiyi exclusive broadcast!"

Capital pursues profits. As long as Wang Kun has not failed, there will be a large amount of capital waving banknotes waiting to get on the bus.

Yahuang had no doubt that even if Aiqi didn't invest the money, Wang Kun would still be able to find investment, it would just take a little longer.

After hearing Yahuang's reply, Gong Mingxi was a little surprised, "I understand. I will continue to negotiate with Director Wang. In addition, Director Wang wants to sign Chen Zhiyuan, an artist of Guoran Entertainment."

"What are Chen Zhiyuan's own thoughts?"

Yahuang knew about Chen Zhiyuan because of the recent popularity of "The Beginning".

Before the broadcast of "The Beginning", Yahui, the CEO of iQiyi, would not have known about an [-]th-tier actor in iQiyi's Guoran Entertainment.

After the broadcast of "The Beginning", Chen Zhiyuan's popularity as the starring role has soared, and his commercial value has soared.

For Guoran Entertainment, which has two or three big cats and kittens, Chen Zhiyuan is already considered to be the face.

Gong Mingxihui reported: "Sure enough, Entertainment has already talked to Chen Zhiyuan, and Chen Zhiyuan has no intention of renewing the contract."

"Then let him be, just treat it as a favor."

Although Yahuang doesn't want to let him go, when he signed the contract with Chen Zhiyuan five years ago, the liquidated damages set were only 500 million. If he lets him go now, he can get together and get away easily. Don't make everyone angry by then. They don't look good on their faces.

Yahuang added, "By the way, let Guoran Entertainment revise the contract for me and set the liquidated damages as high as the legal limit allows!"

Chen Zhiyuan happily ran away with a bucket, but as expected, the artists under Sure enough Entertainment were in bad luck.

Wang Kun came to Huayi headquarters and met Xiao Wang.

Xiaogangpao and Jiang Wen can be said to be indispensable for Huayi's success today.

It is precisely because they have tasted the sweetness that the kings attach great importance to good directors.

Otherwise, given Wang Kun's status, it would be good to meet a department head, let alone the big and small kings.

Xiao Wang apologized and said: "I'm really sorry. There are too many things in the company, so Director Wang has been kept waiting for a long time."

No matter how Xiao Wang behaves in private, he will not let anyone find fault with him publicly.

If you don’t know how to be a human being, why don’t you know how to act?

First-rate actors go into politics, second-rate actors go into business, and only those with unqualified acting skills go to film.

After all, if the acting skills of the first two are not up to par, people will die. In comparison, filming is much safer.

To be able to build such a big business over the years, Mr. Wang's acting skills are extremely proficient.

"I came here uninvited, but it took up Mr. Wang's time."

After exchanging a few words of greetings, Wang Kun explained the purpose of his visit, "Mr. Wang, are you interested in participating in my new drama Huayi?"
