Chapter 70 Coincidence
Christmas is the last day of the release of "The Wrong Yin and Yang".The box office, which was already sluggish, began to return to light.

As of yesterday, the total box office of "Wrong Yin and Yang" has reached 370 million, and it is expected to break through 400 million before the end.

Looking at the crowds in and out of the theater, Ye Jingcheng thought it was time to find Lei Juekun.As for the script that he intends to sell to the other party, he actually finished it several days ago.

The reason why he didn't contact the other party at the first time is to make the other party have an illusion that his creativity is not unlimited, so that he can make some small moves on the price.

Came to the Golden Princess again, this time in addition to Lei Juekun, the other three shareholders of New Art City and Chen Xunqi were also present.

Different from the first meeting, the three shareholders of New Art City, Mecca, Shi Tian, ​​and Huang Baiming, upon seeing the arrival of Ye Jingcheng, the rightful lord, approached politely and shook hands to say hello.

If the three of them didn't write a convincing word to Mecca, they might be able to rely on their talents before "Yin Yang Wrong" was released.After all, Lei Jue spent a lot of money to recruit them, which is enough to show their ability.

The problem is where Ye Jingcheng's achievements are placed now, that is a total of 400 million box office, an unconventional milestone in the film industry.Instead of what Huang Baiming said before, Ye Jingcheng quickly said one more zero.

If it were them, let alone 1000 million, 500 million... or even 300 million, it was already their expectation.In front of Ye Jingcheng, a big crocodile, they are not even fish and shrimp.

When they invest in a movie, they think about how much they can earn, but they don't dare to think about how many millions.But Ye Jingcheng uses different units of numbers. He uses tens of millions to make money.

"I won't talk about being polite. I wrote three scripts here. See if you like them." Ye Jingcheng handed over the scripts he brought, and then picked up the black tea poured by the secretary to taste it carefully.

"Three scripts?" Although Ye Jingcheng had acted in a low-key manner, it still surprised everyone present.

A script doesn't mean that you can write. Many screenwriters may not be able to write a script in a month even if they are trapped at home. Now Ye Jingcheng has completed their conception for nearly half a year in just a few days.

Of course, this is also related to the quality of the script. The content of such a hastily completed script should not be very good, right?

It's only when they read it that they realize they were wrong.There is still a genius they can't match in this world, and that person is undoubtedly Ye Jingcheng who is younger than any of them.

The three scripts that Ye Jingcheng presented were: "Chasing Girls", "Happy Fairy's Nest" and "A Date with a Beautiful Woman".These three films are all films released by the original time and space in Golden Princess. The first two are produced by New Art City, and the third is produced by Yongjia.

The reason why Ye Jingcheng chose these films was to let Shi Tian and others read his scripts, and then have the idea of ​​'coincidentally', so as to reduce the controversy over the price of the scripts.

In addition, the reason why Ye Jingcheng didn't move him out for "Best Partner", the strongest producer in New Art City, was not only because he didn't want the other party to show off his power, but also because of the difficulty of production. The current film and television equipment in Hong Kong Island can't meet the requirements.

These three movies may not be very famous, but the box office will definitely not be low. Among them, "Chasing Girls" has a box office of nearly 500 million, "Happy Fairy's Nest" has a box office of 900 million, and "A Date with a Beautiful Woman" has a box office of nearly [-] million. Ten thousand.

It's not that there are no movies with higher box office, the question is why Ye Jingcheng let them out?And just for these three films, once they are released, whether it is the Golden Princess, New Art City, or Yongjia Movies, they can make a lot of money.

I believe that Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers have not joined forces to suppress, and Princess Jin has already gained a firm foothold.It could be seen that Ye Jingcheng did not intend to cheat the other party, not that he was afraid or worried about revenge, but that he was selling Lei Juekun's face.

This old man's temper is a bit domineering, but as long as what you say makes sense, he will not question you, and the only answer he will give you is yes or no.At least they won't resort to deceit and use tricks behind their backs to achieve their goals.

Seeing that Maijia and others were engrossed in watching the script, Lei Juekun knew that there was no need to doubt the quality of the script.He took a puff of cigarette and said, "Chengzi, tell me the price in your mind."

"Three books in a package, 400 million." To him, the price was already low, but he needed the money urgently, so he didn't plan to engage in a tug-of-war with the other party.

hiss!
Hearing Ye Jingcheng's offer, Maijia and the others came to their senses from their deep groans.It's true that people are more popular than people. They may not be able to earn 100 million by making a movie, but the other party's script alone is worth millions.

However, the quality of these scripts is really high. Mecca, Shi Tian and Chen Xunqi, who got the scripts respectively, are not willing to send the scripts back. Now we can only wait for Lei Juekun's decision to see if he is willing to part with this sum. money.

"What do you think?" Lei Juekun asked.

Mecca and the others did not answer, but nodded silently.Whether a script is worth money or not depends on whose hands it falls into.The one written by Ye Jingcheng 'coincidentally coincides' with their ideas. As long as Lei Jue Kun is willing to pay, they are confident that the film will be successful.

"What about you, Chengzi?" Lei Juekun turned the words back to Ye Jingcheng, asking him to comment on his script.

"At least one of them can hit tens of millions of box office."

Impact and achievement are two different things, if we talk about the dividing line.If the box office of a movie exceeds 500 million, it can aim to hit 1000 million.Therefore, the three scripts he gave are undoubtedly able to hit tens of millions of box office.

"Is it true?"

These words came from Huang Baiming's mouth.But this time was different from last time, last time he questioned the opponent's ability, but this time it was a little unbelievable.Except for him, Ye Jingcheng, no one else dared to speak like that. Who would let him have that strength.

Huang Baiming felt very uncomfortable, so what if he can hit tens of millions of box office?Among all the people present, he was the one who had the least right to speak.He didn't have the turn of these three scripts, so the three big bosses must have snatched them.It's not a problem to share the bonus afterwards, but forget it if you want to gain credit and increase your reputation.

"How do you distribute it?" Lei Juekun nodded, confirming to buy the account.

After a few minutes of simple discussion, the script of "Chasing Girls" fell into the hands of Shi Tian, ​​the script of "Happy Fairy's Nest" fell into the hands of Mecca, and the script of "A Date with a Beautiful Woman" naturally belonged to Chen Xunqi.

Mecca and Shi Tian thought of monopolizing the three scripts, but Chen Xunqi and their positions are equal, and the advantage in front of Lei Juekun is not lost to them. In fact, it is an unexpected harvest for them to win two of the scripts .

Although it is possible to use the method of many people bullying few people, to forcibly occupy the other party's script.However, when a movie is shown in the same theater, everyone has to save some face for each other.

What's more, the story of this script is not very appetizing to them.

The three who got the script were all very happy, but Huang Baiming was very uncomfortable at the side. I dare say that he came here this time just to join in the fun.

After distributing the script, Lei Juekun signaled Maijia and the others to go back first, and then wrote a rough plan for him.Then, in front of Ye Jingcheng, he signed two checks.The amount of one is 400 million, and the amount of the other is 700 million.

"Lei Sheng, you..." Ye Jingcheng asked in confusion.Secretly wondering why this rich man has so many problems, he always takes out checks to bully him, bullying him has never seen big money, right?
"Don't worry, it's not your company's idea." Lei Juekun smiled and said, "You can guess the final box office of "Yin Yang Wrong", and the number of 400 million won't make much difference. Less You don’t need to return the water, and if you have too much, don’t come to me for it.”

Speaking of this, Ye Jingcheng already understood that the other party had approved his share of dividends in advance. This kind of bold personality was what Ye Jingcheng admired the most.

"By the way, Chengzi. What's the next plan?"

What Lei Juekun asked was about the production plan. Although the three scripts that Ye Jingcheng presented were very satisfactory, he had reason to believe that the best script was still in Ye Jingcheng's hands.

"I'm still planning to make an urban movie." Ye Jingcheng's new production plan is "Seven Days of Love", which was shelved last time, because the heroine of this movie, Ye Tong, has signed with Qingdeng Entertainment.

Coupled with his next investment plan, he needs to put all his net worth on it, and it will take a long time to return the funds.

So during this period of time, he won't have much liquidity on hand.Investing in movies requires a low amount. If you want to maximize the box office revenue, this "Seven Days of Love" is undoubtedly the most suitable.

"Urban movie?" Lei Juekun frowned a little. It wasn't that he didn't have confidence in Ye Jingcheng, on the contrary, he agreed with the other party's idea, otherwise "The Wrong Yin and Yang" wouldn't have such a high box office.

Lei Juekun is just a little reconciled. Both Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest have produced martial arts films. Although this subject has begun to decline, but with his aggressive personality, he doesn't want to lose others in certain aspects. At least he must come up with a masterpiece. ?
"Wrong Yin and Yang" caught the opponent by surprise, but it didn't mean that Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest would stop there. It would be better to take the initiative to disrupt one of the teams first.As long as Jiahe and Shaw can't unite, Princess Jin's crisis will be easily resolved.

"I've heard from here that Golden Harvest has recently released a big cast. If there are no accidents, it should be released in the New Year's file. The title of the film is "Junior and Brother".

From Lei Juekun's words, Ye Jingcheng read two meanings.The first one is to promise to give him the New Year's file, provided that the subject of the movie must be a martial arts movie.The second one is undoubtedly asking him to beat Jiahe's "Junior and Brother".

If there is no restriction of the first condition, it is not difficult to defeat "Junior and Brother".The difficulty is that if Lei Juekun wants to wrestle with Golden Harvest, the themes of the films to be released must be consistent.
