Chapter 643 Seeking Cooperation
$648, Seeking Cooperation
In order to enter the Chinese mainland market, Liang Huiru and her husband had established a relationship with Xu Guangtou when he came to Southeast Asia to shoot. Faced with such a warm hospitality from the "senior", Xu Guangtou was very righteous and helped the two get two tickets to the cocktail party.
Tang Wen saw that the man communicating with Xu Guangtou was Liang Huiru's husband. At this moment, they were discussing the next movie with an investor.
Xu Guangtou has been showing off again recently. With the support of Liang Huiru and her husband, his back has straightened up recently. Since the last "embezzlement of public funds" incident, his life has been very embarrassing.
But now it's different. Liang Huiru and her husband were "hot" in the Hong Kong film and television industry before. Although there have been no good works on the market in recent years, their connections are still there.
This time, Xu Guangtou contacted overseas theaters through them and planned to have an exclusive "global" premiere. Of course, the support of Liang Huiru and her husband is indispensable.
But these things are not so easy to get. Liang Huiru and her husband will take 40% of the film's revenue. But this is already very "satisfactory" for Xu Guangtou.
Compared with the big figures and investors in the past who would take half at any time, Liang Huiru and her husband are already very conscientious investors.
"Mr. Zhou, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Qian from Golden Lion Investment." Xu Guangtou introduced with a smile.
Qian Guangtou looked at Xu Guangtou, who was also bald, and smiled: "I have heard of the name of Director Xu and Mr. Zhou for a long time. People said before that if you want to win an award in Taiwan, you should find Cathay. If you want to make money, you should find Cathay. Mr. Zhou and Ms. Liang are our predecessors."
"Mr. Qian, thank you for the compliment. It's all old news. I look forward to our cooperation this time." Mr. Zhou said cheerfully.
"Of course, let's make a fortune together. Come on, let's drink." Qian Guangtou stretched out his hand and said excitedly. He knew that although Liang Huiru and her husband had not appeared on the big screen much in recent years.
But Guangtou Qian understood that Liang Huiru and her husband still had overseas connections, and with Guangtou Xu's "ability", he felt that it was very safe to get a box office of 1 billion this time.
The most important thing is that Golden Lion Investment here also has shares in the cinema chain owned by the big boss, so he can get two shares of money and make US dollars at once. He will not refuse such a thing.
"Wait a minute, you two, I'll call a friend to come together. We will have a better chance of winning if we join forces." Guangtou Xu suddenly saw a familiar figure and said anxiously.
"Okay." The two nodded.
Guangtou Xu walked directly towards Chen Chen, who was in the corner and an unknown woman with heavy makeup.
"Ah Chen." Guangtou Xu stepped forward and patted the other person's shoulder.
The man turned around and smiled, "What's wrong, Director Xu?"
"Come over and I have something good to introduce to you." Guangtou Xu said after looking at the delicate body of the heavily made-up woman.
"Oh, okay, baby, wait for me." Chen Chen said to the woman in a mean way.
The woman replied delicately, "Brother, you are so bad. I want to check the lines with you tonight."
"It depends on your performance." Chen Chen raised his eyebrows and said lightly.
Xu Guangtou brought Chen Chen to Mr. Zhou and Qian Guangtou and introduced them, "Mr. Zhou, Mr. Qian, this is my best friend of Chen Chen. You have seen Assaulter, it is absolutely amazing. Recently, my buddy is also planning to start a new play, which is definitely worth doing. By the way, Chen, I forgot to introduce you. This is Mr. Qian from Golden Lion Investment, and this is Mr. Zhou from Cathay Pacific."
"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Qian." Chen Chen also knew that his friend was introducing him to the "financier" and quickly picked up the wine glass in his hand and said respectfully.
"It turns out to be Mr. Chen. We have heard of your name for a long time. The previous plays you shot were all good. Director Xu said that you have a new script recently?" Qian Guangtou smiled.
Chen Chen nodded quickly and said, "It's not about the script, I just want to change my career recently, but please rest assured, I asked Mr. Wang to personally revise the script for me."
"Mr. Wang?" Mr. Zhou frowned and asked. He has always been in charge of some overseas films and is not so familiar with the film and television industry in the mainland.
Guangtou Qian explained, "It's Wang Guang, a very capable screenwriter in our China. He has produced many well-received movies and TV series before."
"Oh, so that's it." Mr. Zhou nodded and dispelled his hesitation. He had no objection to Guangtou's investment, but if an artist who "changed career" said he wanted to make a movie, anyone would be cautious.
Seeing that the two were still hesitating, Guangtou Xu poked Chen Chen from below with his hand. The latter understood and said, "How about this, let's find a place to talk in detail? Let's have a drink by the way?"
The meaning here couldn't be more obvious. Mr. Zhou thought for a while and said, "Thank you, but I have to deal with some personal matters here. How about this, for Director Xu's sake, we will invest 30 million and take 30% of the profits. Is Mr. Chen okay with that?"
"Okay, okay, then I will personally bring the contract and script to you tomorrow for your review." Chen Chen was very excited. He thought that Mr. Zhou's refusal to drink would be "a failure", but he didn't expect that the other party would directly agree to an investment of 30 million.
According to the proportion, the script he had not shown to the other party had been valued at 100 million. Although he had to take out 30% of the profits, it was already remarkable for him to get 30 million for nothing.
If it weren't for Xu Guangtou's face, this 30 million investment would not be so easy to get.
After Mr. Zhou left, Qian Guangtou stayed with great interest. Chen Chen saw that this was an idea, so he quickly picked up his phone and asked his men to find a few "artists" to come.
Xu Guangtou also happily acted as a middleman.
While Tang Wen and others were still strolling, a woman urged the woman next to her and said, "Hurry up and get the chance." The urged woman bit her lip and waited for the opportunity when Tang Wen turned around, and ran directly into Tang Wen's arms.
Qin Feng and Xiao Wang smiled at each other, knowing that Tang Wen's "romantic encounter" had come. The two of them tacitly stepped back and found a place to start "resting" as if nothing had happened.
"Are you okay?" Tang Wen's first feeling was that the woman in his arms was very "interesting" because a piece of white cough cough almost blinded Tang Wen's eyes.
When the woman raised her head, Tang Wen was almost stunned. Isn't this the concubine in Cat Demon?
Zhang Rong said with a shy look and poor acting: "Sorry, I didn't notice just now."
Tang Wen almost laughed out loud, what the hell is this "not paying attention"? Why did you unbutton your clothes without paying attention? Just because I didn't see that you deliberately left one button unbuttoned?
Of course, Tang Wen was still very gentlemanly on the surface, holding Zhang Rong, who was "inconvenient to walk", and walked towards the rest area next to him. Zhang Rong's "poor acting" made a group of female artists who were waiting for the opportunity jump in anger.
"Little bitch, you are so shameless."
