This actor needs more money

"Harm, don't talk about this, just drink and drink."

Waving his hand, Wang Baoqiang said forcefully.

He had collaborated with Xu Zheng before. During the embarrassing journey, the two got along very well and they were considered friends.

This time, he acted as a friendly actor in Thai囧, and he had no intention of making money.

Xu Zheng has made money. It is the other party's wish to give him as many red envelopes as he wants. It is also his duty not to give him. There is nothing to say.

Huang Bo said with envy: "If I have to say that the winner in life is Brother Xiu, the new world has just become popular, and now the second part of Xiuchundao is coming out again."

Ding Xiu makes money differently from them, and is not in the same rank at all.

No matter how awesome an actor is, in the final analysis he still works for capital, and Ding Xiu himself is the capital.

Huang Bo only regretted that he met Qin Gang too late, otherwise he would have had a 30% stake in the company even if he was selling iron.

After drinking a glass of wine first, Wu Jing said to Ding Xiu solemnly: "Brother Xiu, in addition to congratulating your crew on the launch of the film this time, I have one more thing to trouble you."

"You know my Wolf Warrior script. After more than a year of training and planning, I think it's almost ready to be launched, but in terms of funding, haha, you understand."

His second director's play is called Wolf Warrior, and the script has been completed long ago. He had talked with Ding Xiu a long time ago, and Ding Xiu agreed to invest in him.

Ding Xiu smiled slightly and took a sip of wine: "Tell me, how much."

The company originally invested in film and television dramas every year, and he trusted Wu Jing's ability. The previous director Lang Ya was very good and had great ideas.

In addition, he had read the script and it was not bad, and it was based on patriotic sentiments.

Considering the current market, as long as the script is not bad and there are a few big names in the play, the box office will be good.

"The total budget is 100 million." Wu Jing shyly reported a number.

"puff!"

"Cough cough cough."

Huang Bo, who was at the same table, spit out a mouthful of wine and choked until his face turned red.

Wang Baoqiang also looked at him with wide eyes.

Damn it, a movie with an investment of 100 million is considered a top-notch production. At this scale, even a few first-line actors can be hired.

You know, most of those who can make it to the top are movie stars.

Even for a top artist like Ding Xiu, in the movie industry, the salary for a movie is only about 30 million, so he can afford three.

What kind of blockbuster is Wu Jing planning to make?

Ding Xiu said with a dark face: "You are going to fight in Iraq, it's so expensive."

It’s not like he has never filmed movies and TV series with military themes. They are not that expensive. Tanks, guns, and rocket launchers are all props, so they don’t cost much money.

Wu Jing shook his head and smiled: "This time I want to shoot real scenes. The tanks, planes, rocket launchers, and artillery shells are all real. By the way, I will also lend you your yacht."

Ding Xiu sneered: "You can use the yacht as you like, no need to talk about investing money."

One hundred million, not one hundred yuan.

He only shoots two movies a year. Just looking at the salary, it would take him more than a year or two to make 100 million.

Wu Jing coughed twice and said awkwardly: "I forgot to tell you, I personally invested 40 million in this movie."

He is a director, so of course he cannot get away with nothing. He has to invest in the plays he directs. This is an old tradition. If you don't get away with it as a director, how can others dare to invest in it?

So he put all his savings over the years into it and collected 40 million.

Artists earn money quickly and have high expenses.

Even though he has been out for so many years, he really doesn’t have much savings. Who told him to make his debut too early? The market in the early years was not so good. At that time, a movie only cost hundreds of thousands.

In the past ten years, I have gone to Hong Kong Island to develop my career. I have only played small roles, and I have no money.

Of course, if you sell your house and car, you can still raise ten or twenty million, but it's not necessary. You have to have a place to sleep.

Ding Xiu tapped his fingers lightly on the table. Wu Jing invested 40 million, and there was still a hole of 60 million. This was not a small amount of money.

After a moment of silence, he said: "I will personally invest 20 million for you."

20 million, plus 40 million, still 40 million short, Wu Jing's face darkened, and he felt a little cold.

Ding Xiu continued: "The company invested 20 million."

"It's 80 million. I'll take care of the bulk for you. Don't say you can't handle the remaining 20 million."

The company does not have the final say alone. To spend 40 million at once, the management has to hold meetings to discuss, evaluate the market, actors, scripts, etc. There are too many processes.

If it is only 20 million, with his ability, he does not need to go through so many procedures.

Those who can help Wu Jing can only come here.

"It can be done, it can be done." Wu was overjoyed.

80 million has been settled, and the remaining 20 million is not a big problem. The worst is to go around looking for the boss with a box of Maotai, begging and asking for 20 million.

But when he thought of something, he turned his head to look at Huang Bo. Isn't this the ready-made boss? A wealthy man who just made 50 million yuan.

"Brother Bo, it's my second dream to be a director. You can't bear the thought of me going to kneel down and lick the coal boss. Give me a hand."

Huang Bo couldn't stand the pitiful look in his eyes and said, "I'm not as wealthy as Brother Xiu, so I'll give you eight million at most."

This is the first time he has made such a generous move.

It's true that he made fifty million, but he still had to pay taxes. He couldn't give all the remaining money to Wu Jing. He had to be filial to his parents and arrange the rest of his life, as well as his own.

In other words, he just made a windfall, otherwise Wu Jing would come to him, and he would support up to two million.

"Good brother." Wu Jing's eyes were filled with laughter.

Only twelve million left.

The next second, his eyes were on Wang Baoqiang, and Wang Baoqiang was shocked.

"Five million, I only give five million."

With his strength, he could invest 10 million yuan without breaking any bones, but Huang Bo only gave 800 yuan after making 50 million yuan.

If I give him one thousand at once, it will inevitably make Huang Bo unable to come to Taiwan.

Five million was given to Wu Jing, and Wu Jing could easily handle the remaining seven million without any harm to everyone.

"It has to be the third brother." Wu Jing was moved: "I'll give you a drink. I won't come home until I'm drunk tonight."

Just as Wang Baoqiang thought, 93 million was taken care of, and the remaining 7 million was nothing.

At the same time, he also knew what Wang Baoqiang was thinking, so he didn't ask for more.

Regardless of whether it is Ding Xiu, Huang Bo, or Wang Baoqiang, the three of them will give as much as they say.

In just a few minutes, tens of millions of investments were raised. Several artists from the crew who attended the press conference today cried with envy.

Yang Mi, in particular, remained silent the whole time, feeling envious and afraid at the same time.

What I envy is that Wu Jing is really lucky to have these friends. These days, there are a few people who can support your dreams with millions and tens of millions. Not to mention friends, even if your parents have this money, they may not give it to you. .

What she was afraid of was that Wu Jing would ask her to invest.

There is still seven million left. If I ask her for it, will she give it to me?

If I don't give it, I'm afraid of offending others and affecting the relationship. If I give it, it will hurt my body.

Fortunately, Wu Jing didn't speak to her. After receiving the investment from Ding Xiu and the others, he just drank and didn't mention the investment again until the wine shop broke up.

Ding Xiu, who noticed Damimi's expression, shook his head silently.

In the evening, after the banquet broke up, Yang Mi offered to give Ding Xiu a ride, and asked her questions in the car.

"Brother Xiu, I didn't invest in Brother Jing. Did I do the right thing?"

Ding Xiu said calmly: "Yes or no."

"What do you mean?" Damimi was a little confused.
