Island Tycoon

Chapter 68 Expensive Scripts

"The maximum amount of this check is 1000 million. I only want [-]% of your company's shares, and there will be no interference."

Last time, Lei Juekun handed out a check of 500 million, asking for a 51% stake in Qingdeng Entertainment.This time he took out a check of 1000 million, but only wanted 40% of the shares. It can be seen that he is absolutely bound to win.

Even if Ye Jingcheng made a movie worth tens of millions, the chips in his hand would still not be able to compare with this amount of money, because "Wrong Yin and Yang" can only be regarded as a masterpiece, and it doesn't mean that his next movie must be guaranteed.

It is undeniable that the amount offered by Lei Juekun was very attractive. Even Ye Jingcheng, who knew the company had a bright future, began to consider whether the deal was worth it.

If only from the perspective of investing in movies, would you want to invest in Qingdeng Entertainment for 1000 million yuan, and even get [-]% of the shares?Ye Jingcheng would refuse without hesitation.

But now he has a big plan to raise money, and he needs a huge amount of money to operate it.If this money is used properly, within two years, he is absolutely confident to break the three kingdoms of Shaw Brothers, Jiahe, and Princess Jin, so as to achieve an equal situation.

Seeing Ye Jingcheng in a daze, Lei Juekun smiled even more.In order to become a shareholder of Qingdeng Entertainment, he was preparing for a bloodletting this time. 1000 million is a lot of money for him, and this investment is still risky.

But he believed in Ye Jingcheng's ability, and even more in his own eyesight.As long as you successfully invest in Qingdeng Entertainment, what is 1000 million worth?The wool came from the sheep, and it might not take long for the money to go around and come back to him.

At this time, Ye Jingcheng had already made a decision.

He decided on money and wanted it.

Company shares, not given.

Because he thought of another method temporarily, and said, "Lei Sheng, there is one thing that I am very puzzled about. Why do you insist on becoming a shareholder of my company? Actually, we can cooperate in another way."

"Huh? Let's hear it." Ye Jingcheng's words clearly rejected him, and Lei Juekun felt unhappy immediately.It's just that after hearing the second half of Ye Jingcheng's sentence, he knew that the other party didn't mean it.

Lei Juekun has always had a high evaluation of Ye Jingcheng who is knowledgeable and knowledgeable.Now that he proposed a new plan, maybe he could really achieve the best of both worlds.

"I think Lei Sheng, you are determined to buy shares. You are not looking at Qingdeng Entertainment, but you are looking at me, the behind-the-scenes producer. I don't know if you are wrong?" Ye Jingcheng directly pointed out the key points, and did not forget to praise Own.

"That's right, keep talking." Lei Juekun nodded.

Ye Jingcheng continued to show off: "In terms of resources, publicity, and actors, there are many people who are better than me in these three points, but they are not as good as me in the box office. Does Lei Sheng know the reason?"

Lei Juekun didn't respond to the question, but motioned him to continue talking.

"I don't know if Lei Sheng has noticed that the development of the film industry is very sick nowadays? Seven out of ten films are martial arts films. I am curious why so many people make martial arts films instead of urban films? Or science fiction films? Or even It’s fine if it’s a literary film.”

"Creativity." Ye Jingcheng tapped his forehead with his index finger, and said, "The current screenwriters just can't get out of their own thinking circle, thinking that the audience still has a soft spot for martial arts movies, why don't they try to start from other aspects?" .”

"I can't comment on your point of view. I just want to know the cooperation you just mentioned."

From a purely rational point of view, Lei Juekun agrees with what the other party said.But he is just a layman in the film industry, and things in the cinema are changing or not, and how to change is not his concern.

Knocking on his forehead again, Ye Jingcheng said frankly: "I have a lot of ideas here, it depends on whether Lei Sheng needs them."

Hearing this, Lei Juekun completely reacted.As Ye Jingcheng said, the reason why he became interested in Qingdeng Entertainment was because Ye Jingcheng was in charge of the company.If it was replaced by another person in charge, let alone 1000 million, he might not even buy 100 million.

Think about the creativity that Ye Jingcheng said, isn't he just interested in the ability of the other party's screenwriter?If Ye Jingcheng is willing to give him the idea, then it will be innocuous whether he gets a share in Qingdeng Entertainment.

"Chengzi, how can we say that we are also considered a guest and host, you don't want to slap me hard, do you?" Lei Juekun agreed with this matter, but this method is good or bad, but the initiative is in the opponent's hands superior.

"I thought of two plans." After a pause, Ye Jingcheng said: "The first plan is that I will publish the script, and afterwards I will ask for [-]% of the local box office..."

"Impossible!" Lei Juekun immediately vetoed it.His idea was actually very simple, Ye Jingcheng just came up with a story, he invested all the manpower and material resources, and he even had to take risks.Why did Ye Jingcheng want him [-]%?
Not to mention Lei Juekun, even if Ye Jingcheng found someone else, he would still refuse to hear this.This is related to the status of screenwriters. Hong Kong Island is different from Hollywood, and the intellectual property rights of screenwriters are not valued.

you are not willing?All right, leave if you don't want to.Do you see that there are hundreds of people waiting behind you?

Not to mention that Lei Juekun disagreed with this plan, Ye Jingcheng actually shook his head, saying it just for comparison.It's not that he thinks the [-]% dividend is too low, but that the waiting time is too long.Since he proposed to sell the script, he definitely wanted to get money in a short time.

Ye Jingcheng raised his V-shaped hand and said, "The second option is that I will mark the price of the script clearly, and then you send professionals to appraise it. If you think it's OK, buy it, and if it's not, keep it."

"Let's put it in a clearer way." Ye Jingcheng's words were too vague. Even if he were to clearly mark the price, there must be a range.

"Since it is my script, the price will not be lower than 100 million."

Seeing that Lei Juekun was obviously dissatisfied with the price, Ye Jingcheng explained again: "Lei Sheng, shouldn't you have confidence in me? If you follow the 100 million script, the 1000 million you just offered is enough to buy Ten copies."

"Even if there is only one movie with a box office of more than [-] million, I believe you, Lei Sheng, are still making money. Isn't that the reason?" Lei Juekun closed his eyes and pondered. If it is really like what Ye Jingcheng said, this investment does not have too much risk.

As long as there is a movie with a box office of more than [-] million, then his investment cost has been returned.As for the real money, don't forget that the overseas box office is the big one.

But, can Ye Jingcheng really come up with a 1000 million movie?Or will the other party hand over the script to him?It took a long time for Lei Junkun to reply: "I won't force you with a starting price of 100 million, but you must set a capped price."

"Then cap it at 200 million." Ye Jingcheng said with a harmless face, "Lei Sheng, my movie is still expected to be released in your theaters, and this matter is also related to my reputation. Are you still worried about my relationship with me?" What kind of tricks are you playing?"

Lei Juekun pointed at Ye Jingcheng with a pipe, and said, "You can come up with a script in the next two days, and save other issues until then."

……

The next day.

Ye Jingcheng met Zheng Wenya and drove to Yau Ma Tei together.He plans to buy a scooter, so that it will be much more convenient to go everywhere, not to mention it can be...

Hong Kong Island is not like any auto parts city in China. Most of the car dealers here are privately operated, or they are the general agent repair shops of various brands.Most of the car dealers are gathered in Mong Kok and Yau Ma Tei, and the business model is to open on the street.

Choose Zheng Wenya to accompany him, and the other party can help him grow eyes.Secondly, the other party's parents wanted to see him, so they stopped by Zheng's house after buying the car.

Even though he had a rift with the other party's parents before, Ye Jingcheng still planned to attend the banquet.In fact, the other party is also concerned about her daughter's lifelong affairs, so her speech and behavior will become rough and arrogant.

Now that the two of them have cooked rice, Zheng Wenya's parents will never stop them.Moreover, Dad Zheng looked down on Ye Jingcheng at the beginning, seeing that he would never earn 500 million in his lifetime, and now he doesn't change his opinion if he can't get a "Yin Yang Mistake".

Mother Zhong calculated something against him, and he can do it without exception, not to mention that he and Zheng's parents just quarreled a few words, and it made him seem cautious if he cared too much about this matter.

Zheng Wenya turned her head to the side, and said with concern: "Ah Cheng, I heard that Zhong Chuhong and Ren Dahua left, is there any problem with the company?"

"Where did you hear that?" Ye Jingcheng frowned playfully and said, "Don't worry, it's not a big problem."

"Really okay?"

Zheng Wenya didn't quite believe this.

After the film "Wrong Yin and Yang" was broadcast, Zhong Chuhong and Ren Dahua were the most popular, and of course she herself was one of them.

Now two of the three leading actors have left, and she herself has other plans.Joined Blue Lantern Entertainment to share affairs for Ye Jingcheng, and try to keep as little contact with the film industry as possible in the future.

In terms of beauty, she doesn't think she has much advantage, but in terms of handling and responsiveness, she believes that there are not many women who can do this.King Xuan of Qi can lose Xia Yingchun, but must not lose Zhong Wuyan.

Now that Ye Jingcheng's "Yin Yang Wrong" is a success, but the three leading actors are still in name only, it is normal for Zheng Wenya to be extra worried.Losing a popular leading actor is tantamount to losing a trump card.

Ye Jingcheng's status is not what it used to be, and his next move may attract the attention of the society.Now that he is so highly praised by the media, one can imagine how much impact it will have on his future if there is a reversal.

So she felt that she should join Qingdeng Entertainment, as Zhong Wuyan, to take care of Ye Jingcheng's affairs.

"Ha, I didn't realize you were so breathless before." Ye Jingcheng was very confident, and asked back: "Believe it or not, I can find anyone at random, and I can lift him (her) up."

Zheng Wenya's small eyes fully responded with three words: I don't believe it.

Well, then I'll prove it to you.Ye Jingcheng's eyes fell on the door of a certain car dealership. There was a big girl doing publicity for the car dealership. Ye Jingcheng waved and shouted: "That sister, come here."
