The King of Variety Entertainment

Chapter 455 Set a Simple Goal First, Earn 100 Million, Right?

Zhou Xun's film investment company is called Fengyi Film and Television Media. It is located in Chaoyang Wanguo Center, surrounded by office buildings and shopping malls. The one bought with all of his savings ten years ago is worth more than 40 million today!

"Sister Xun, you have a good eye, and you really know how to invest! Ten years ago, it was only over 10,000 square meters, right? Now it's 70,000 to 80,000, which is six or seven times more!"

Rong Feifei took Zhou Xun's arm and sincerely praised her investment vision.

Zhou Xun smiled sweetly: "Nothing can compare to you. Only the right man can invest. Look at your husband. Did you just buy the third floor of the office building? There is also a training base, a newly built music theater, whatever you like. Any industry has surpassed me."

There are also the copyrights of several ace programs under him, the best-selling music albums in Asia, and the behemoth Enron Film and Television Entertainment Company, which has extended its tentacles to various industries such as music, TV, and commercial performances. I am still very envious: "But you work hard on your own."

Zhou Xun smiled. She is still very proud of this. She has been floating in Zhongjing for 20 years, starting as a small bar backup dancer. There are several boyfriends, but basically she has not accepted the benefits of these boyfriends. Most of her assets are earned by herself, and the investment is also contributed by herself.

A strong woman is nothing more than that. After quitting from Brothers Film and Television Company, Zhou Xun started her own film business. Occasionally, she would readily agree to a big benefactor who could afford to ask her to make a film.

Her movie salary last year was as high as 65 million. In the second half of this year, investors in a new movie also want to find her to play the leading role. The company is in the early stages of contact. If the tenth episode of Running Man is broadcast and the effect is good, the company may dare to ask for a salary 100 million, which means that the guests invited by the running man are worth at least tens of millions!

"Yang An, what do you think of my small company? Can it still fall into your eyes?"

Sitting in the spacious office, Zhou Xun asked his little assistant to pass him a drink, and asked Yang An, who was standing behind the floor-to-ceiling windows and looking at the city scenery.

Yang An looked at the bustling Zhongjing business circle, and sighed: "Your company is not small, the core, 270-degree panoramic view, I stand here and look out, it feels very good to see all the small mountains. Sometimes I am in I doubt whether it is wrong to put the headquarters in Hongfeng, I should move to Zhongjing, after all, the national entertainment center is here."

Zhou Xun laughed: "You should have thought this way from the very beginning. When housing prices were at a low point three or four years ago, our upstairs was only 40,000 square meters. It would be great if you moved here, and we can still be neighbors."

Both Yang An and Rong Feifei laughed. His career had just started three or four years ago. How could he have so much money? At that time, I couldn't afford to invite first-line stars to film Jianghu jokes. I finally invited Lu Xun and the Red Wolf Band. I don't know how much favor I owe.

Yang An shrugged: "I didn't have any money back then, and I didn't even know if I could succeed in the TV industry. How dare I venture into the capital!"

Zhou Xu pretended to be serious: "It's very simple to succeed. When starting a business, first set a small goal that can be achieved, for example, earn 100 million first!"

Yang An laughed, this is Zhou Xun teasing a certain business tycoon, he said: "Well, it's like Bill Gates said he wants to save money to buy a Lamborghini, one second, two seconds, three seconds, four seconds, five seconds ,, I have saved enough money!"

Everyone laughed and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

"What I just said was a joke. Hongfeng is pretty good. My main business is self-made variety shows. In fact, it's the same wherever I make it. Sister Xun, what do you say about the partner?"

Yang An took the initiative to bring up the topic, and Zhou Xun smiled and handed over a document, which was an urgent contract drawn up by the company last night, and she set aside ten minutes for him to watch.

Zhou Xun introduced: "There are two forms, one is traditional shareholders, my Fengyi Film and Television Media increases capital, you pay, and the shares of our original shareholders are diluted.

The specific amount of capital contribution and share ratio is blank, we can talk about it later. The other is crowdfunding of film investment projects, independent operation, independent review, and other things that have nothing to do with the project, we have no intersection. "

Yang An nodded. The first one is in-depth cooperation. There are many troubles and trifles. For the development of the company, the shareholders also have to contribute. He doesn't have so much time to devote to the film business.

"Don't think about it, it's the second one. Sis, I'm just a joker in the film industry. I'm still familiar with TV. I really can't get away!"

Yang An chose the nature of crowdfunding cooperation, which is a bit interesting.

First of all, we need to choose the subject of crowdfunding, that is, who will be in charge of the entire project. For the sake of fairness, we will definitely choose a fair third party and invite accounting and law firms to supervise the whole process. Since it is an independent project, the director who can be invited, Actors have a wider range of options.

The actor's salary can also be negotiated. If Zhou Xun plays the role in person, she can definitely get a salary of 10 million yuan, which means that the cost of the whole movie will be unimaginable. Attracting him to become the third or even fourth partner of the film project, everyone can lower their salaries, and then share the money they earn together.

Doing so can squeeze out the inflated salary of actors in the film market, make crowdfunding projects more rational, and put more limited energy on the content of the plot instead of hyping the male and female protagonists' salary of 150 million. Vulgar stuff.

Zhou Xun didn't think it was strange. It was in his own best interest for Yang An to do so. The prerequisite was that he could prove that he had the strength. Although Yang An did occupy the TV variety show segment, Yang An was an uncompromising player in the movie sector. Buckle the lame.

"Do you have an idea for a new movie?"

"Yes, in June, I want to make a movie of the same name on the variety show If You Are the One. If I can't become a partner with Sister Xun, I will shoot it myself and find another ordinary female star. If I can cooperate, of course I am willing , For example, ask sister Xun to play the leading role, what do you think?"

Zhou Xun giggled, rolled his eyes at Yang An, and looked at Rong Feifei with a smile: "I knew your husband had no good intentions, and he would take advantage of everything!"

Rong Feifei couldn't stop laughing. This guy Yang An took Zhou Xun as a fool when he met him. Asking her to act as the heroine cost 60 million yuan. If she becomes a partner, she might not even be able to use the 6 million yuan. The idea is really too slippery.

Yang An giggled, who cares, save as much as you can, anyway, I only play tickets in the movie industry, even if I make movies, it should be related to variety shows.

The two sides talked quite happily, and in the evening, Zhou Xun, as a landlord, invited many friends from the Beijing entertainment industry to have a happy dinner with Yang An and his wife, without mentioning anything.

Returning to Hongfeng the next day, after explaining some business matters, Yang An took a day off to travel with his children, together with Duan Haishan's granddaughter's family and Guo Tao's family who didn't have to film recently, organized a small-scale farm tour. The family drove to the countryside near Hong'an, found a large farm, picked strawberries, fished, rowed boats, barbecued, and flew kites. In the season when the warbler grows in March, they want to play more outdoors.

"Last night, you were very beautiful. There were so many celebrities around you. I always wanted to ask, why didn't you shoot If You Are the One by yourself, instead of asking Zhou Xun to cooperate?"

Yang An and his wife were in charge of preparing the barbecue ingredients, and he was in charge of cutting into pieces, but Rong Feifei disliked his clumsiness, so she asked him to stand by and watch, and asked casually.

Yang An stretched his waist and explained: "It's a good relationship. The female star with the highest salary in China is worth my effort to make friends, right? I can't look at this issue from a simple perspective. Box office, profit, these are secondary, what I need is her connections."

Rong Feifei asked: "Are you really planning to ask her to be the heroine?"

Yang An shrugged: "It depends on the situation. Isn't this matter being discussed? She may not have time to shoot. I also promised Lao Cui to give him the role, and Gao Yuanyuan can also play the role. Of course, the stronger the cast, the stronger the cast, the better." The bigger the boost to the box office, isn't that right?"

As a hardworking producer, Yang An sorted out the content of the If You Are the One movie as early as last year. This movie has a high box office and a high score, but it also has a lot of criticism.

He mainly did two things, one was to find Lao Cui, and asked him to find a group of screenwriters to perfect the lines and dialogues, striving to be humorous and reasonable; the other was to find Ning Hao, and asked him to adjust the script from the director's point of view The plot, the connection of small stories, the handling of the camera, the combination of rationality and jokes, the alternate fusion of absurd comedy and cruel reality, in general, he has made a major revision of If You Are the One in his memory.

In order to continue the comedy style of Crazy Stone and brand If You Are the One with Yang An's comedy imprint, Cui and Ning Hao prepared for a whole year, and the revised script was almost completely different in Yang An's opinion.

But he especially likes the revised one, because it is recognized by all three of them, and it should conform to the correct three views, with depth, literature and art, and joyful comedy, and it should be able to get a double harvest at the box office and word of mouth.

Let Zhou Xun play the role of "Xiaoxiao"? Or Gao Yuanyuan? Or go to Shu Qi? Still looking for milk tea? Yang An smiled, let's see how we talk!

It is now April, and it will be almost June when you can shoot If You Are the One, but in June there will be The Voice of China and Super Bianbian, which need to be hosted by Yang An himself. Let’s run, brother. There is still a little finishing work, and he still needs to Taking time out to make movies and taking time to participate in the Magnolia TV Festival, the schedule is full.

The tenth episode of Running Man was broadcast two weeks later, causing national controversy. To be continued.
