China Entertainment: Sister, I don’t want to work hard anymore

The total profit of the "Snow Leopard" drama is 3400 million yuan. Chu Hui will also receive 50 million yuan in income from the 1700% investment share of the "Snow Leopard" drama.

Of course, Chu Hui was not the only one who made money. As one of the producers, Zhu Zhibin also made a profit of 22 million with 748% of the investment share.

As for the four investors, Zhao Baogang, Jiang Wenjuan, Jiang Wenli, and Chen Haowei, they all easily made a lot of money thanks to the sales of the drama "Snow Leopard".

Even Zhao Baogang, who only invested 200 million, made more than 300 million.

Of course, there is no doubt that the biggest winner of the huge sales of "Snow Leopard" is definitely the producer Chu Hui.

In fact, the benefits Chu Hui gained from it were far more than just 1700 million.

Because Chu Hui invested in the drama "Snow Leopard", he actually only spent more than 300 million, but his investment share was as high as 50%.

Not to mention 480 million, the salary bill of nearly 500 million was the script of "Snow Leopard", which Chu Hui bought for less than 20, and finally sold for a high price of 200 million.

Even if the wages and bonuses of the screenwriter team are deducted, Chu Hui will at least make millions of profits from the adaptation copyright of the novel "Snow Leopard".

All in all, Chu Hui made a net profit of at least 2400 million yuan through "Snow Leopard" through starring, serving as a producer, the difference in the script price, and the profit from selling the broadcast rights.

Coupled with the income from previous investment in two dramas and the brand endorsement of Heilan House, Chu Hui's total net worth has officially exceeded 5000 million yuan, which does not include the 20 properties under Chu Hui's name.

Although in the past 2008, Chu Hui only filmed two films, "Yanjing Love Story" and "Snow Leopard", the income he earned from investing in productions was more than a popular actor who filmed several films a year. .

Therefore, even if he shoots fewer movies, Chu Hui is still quite satisfied with the harvest in the past year, and he no longer worries about how many movies he should shoot in a year.

Because sometimes, just because you shoot more doesn’t mean you make more money, you still have to watch the movie to see if it will sell for money.

In Chu Hui's view, if the company blindly pursues the number of films produced, regardless of the actual situation, it will inevitably lead to a decline in the quality of the series. In the end, it will not only mess up its own brand, but also may be thankless.

July 1, 15pm.

Chu Hui, producer Zhu Zhibin, Chen Haowei, Zhao Baogang and others gathered at Yanjing Hotel to celebrate the success of the drama "Snow Leopard".

Sisters Jiang Wenjuan and Jiang Wenli did not come to this gathering because they were not in Yanjing.

After three rounds of drinking.

Zhao Baogang continued to get drunk and asked Chu Hui directly: "Huizi, how are the preparations for the next part of the movie going? When will it start shooting?"

Chu Hui didn't hide it, and told Zhao Baogang honestly: "I am not so quick to direct, I am still thinking about it."

Zhao Baogang then asked: "Have you thought about what type? Is there a general direction?"

Chu Hui thought about it and said, "It might be a Qing palace drama."

Hearing Chu Hui's words, Zhao Baogang couldn't help but frown.

Although Zhao Baogang rarely shoots costume dramas, he is somewhat aware of the market conditions in the film and television industry.

Thinking of this, Zhao Baogang said bluntly: "Huizi, it's not easy to do costume dramas. Now, after the restriction on ancient costumes was issued, more than half of the crew for filming costumes has been reduced."

Zhu Zhibin also nodded with deep sympathy: "Well, the market for costume dramas has indeed not been very good in the past two years."

Chu Hui smiled slightly and said disapprovingly: "It depends on who takes the photo. As long as the photo is good, there will still be people rushing to pay for it."

Seeing Chu Hui's confident look, Zhao Baogang couldn't help but joked: "Huizi, I think you are quite sure, so don't show off to us."

"Just tell us what the show is, what the plot is, tell me."

Chu Hui lit a cigarette, took a puff, then spit it out, and said quietly: "Actually, it's nothing special. It's just a Qing palace travel novel called "Step by Step Jingxin"."

"It was originally an online novel that was serialized on the Internet. Later, it became popular on the Internet and came out as a physical book. I thought the plot was good and suitable for adaptation into a TV series, so I bought it..."

After listening to Chu Hui's brief introduction, Zhao Baogang roughly understood the story of the play "Step by Step".

Personally, Zhao Baogang is not very optimistic about the drama "Step by Step" and doesn't think it's anything special.

Moreover, time-travel dramas are not a new thing. They were very popular seven or eight years ago.

Especially the movie "Love Through Time" starring Xu Zheng and Zhang Ting was indeed a hit that year, and the ending song "Too Many" was also very beautiful.

However, perhaps due to aesthetic fatigue, in recent years, there have been obviously fewer TV dramas with such themes on the screen. Although Zhu Zhibin is not optimistic about "Step by Step", a Qing palace drama, he still admires and trusts Chu Hui's business sense and film selection ability.

So far, Chu Hui has never failed, and every drama he has invested in has made a lot of money.

Even if he is not very optimistic about the drama "Step by Step" this time, Zhu Zhibin directly expressed his position to Chu Hui: "President Hui, I still say the same thing, as long as you want to film it, I will vote for it!"

As one of the directors and investors of "Snow Leopard", Chen Haowei, who had just tasted the benefits, also expressed his willingness to invest on the spot, fearing that he would not be able to embrace Chu Hui's thigh.

As for Zhao Baogang, who has always been cautious and conservative, he did not make an immediate decision. He only said that he would first understand the situation and then consider whether to follow the investment.

Chu Hui didn't care, he wasn't short of money anyway.

If no one invests together, the worst he can do is to do it alone. Although the risk is higher, if he does it well, he can make more money.

What's more, both Zhu Zhibin and Chen Haowei have made it clear that they want to follow in the investment, and Chu Hui is not worried at all about the funding problems of the drama "Step by Step".

After making a lot of money this time, Chu Hui did not consider hoarding houses for the time being and decided to enter the stock market, let alone cooperate with film and television companies such as Enlight and Tang De.

Because in Chu Hui's view, instead of tying up with other film and television companies and colluding with others, it is better to directly buy the stocks of Moutai and Tencent.

Even for the most powerful Huayi Brothers in the country, when the stock price was at its highest, it only rose 20 to 30 times more than the original stock.

However, the stock prices of Tencent and Moutai may rise hundreds of times, or even hundreds of times, without worrying about anything.

Regarding the matter of entering the stock market, Chu Hui was not impulsive, but carefully considered.

At the same time, Chu Hui also learned that Tencent’s stock price fluctuated between HK$2008 and HK$7.4 in 14.

Because Tencent is listed on the Hong Kong stock market, our A-share account cannot buy it. Therefore, in order to smoothly purchase Tencent stocks, Chu Hui opened an account on the Hong Kong stock market some time ago.

When Chu Hui bought it, Tencent's stock price was no more, no less, exactly 8 yuan per share.

Chu Hui bought 300 million shares in one go, spending a total of nearly 2400 million yuan.

After buying Tencent's shares, Chu Hui would sit in front of the computer almost every time he had time to check Tencent's stock price to see whether he was losing or making money.

Seeing that Chu Hui would sit in front of the computer from time to time in the past two days and pay attention to his stocks, Li Xiaoran was inevitably a little worried.

After all, Li Xiaoran had heard of news that he lost his entire fortune while trading stocks, and even committed suicide by jumping off a building. In Li Xiaoran's eyes, stock trading was gambling.

Although Li Xiaoran has never traded in stocks and does not know how stocks operate, he can still read numbers.

When Chu Hui saw that the stock account amount was as high as 2450 million, Li Xiaoran was frightened and asked worriedly: "Huizi, why did you buy so much money?"

Chu Hui thought that Li Xiaoran was also interested in stock trading, so he asked with interest: "Sister Xiaoran, would you like to follow me and buy some stocks for fun?"

Li Xiaoran refused without even thinking: "If you don't want to play, I have no money. I have to pay for five houses every month. How can I have spare money to buy stocks?"

Chu Hui also knew that Li Xiaoran was currently under scheming pressure, so he immediately replied with a smile: "Okay, I'll buy it when you have money later."

Li Xiaoran said directly to Chu Hui: "Huizi, don't make any decisions about me. I don't want to buy stocks, I don't understand stocks, and I don't want to understand."

Chu Hui smiled and reassured: "Don't worry, I won't let you buy ordinary stocks. If you want to buy them, I recommend you to buy Moutai and Tencent."

Li Xiaoran asked in confusion: "Why do you say that? Is there something special about these two companies?"

Chu Hui lied to her and said: "Because I know these two companies relatively well and have visited these two companies for inspection. I feel that these two companies are quite reliable."

"Don't worry, sister, what relationship do we have? Can I still cheat you? If it were before, when I had no money, you would still be justified in doubting me."

"But now that I am richer than you, will I still covet your three melons and two dates? I let you buy these two stocks because I am really doing it for your own good."

"If you're worried, just buy less and don't get addicted. Just treat it as entertainment. If you lose, it's mine and I'll give you the money..."

Seeing that Chu Hui spoke sensibly and did not get carried away because of buying stocks, Li Xiaoran couldn't bear to hit him anymore and could only say helplessly: "Let's talk about buying stocks later. I really don't have any money now."

"Huizi, don't buy too much. I'm afraid that the money you earn from filming won't be enough for you to lose more in the stock market." (End of Chapter)
