Chapter 351 Is the Money Enough?
In a place like the entertainment industry, rules are everywhere.
In short, a variety of rules will appear all the time from the creation to the final completion of a drama group.
Of course, it’s not that these rules are bad, but the existence of these rules creates a bizarre and dizzying entertainment industry.
As the saying goes, if the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if the people are careful, there will be no disciples. If some things are too serious, it will be meaningless.
To put it simply, you invested 40 million and then ignored it?
Let the director do whatever he wants?
Are you kidding me?
Not even Wang Shicong is so promiscuous!
Stuffing someone and sleeping with the heroine are all relatively routine operations...
Do you really want to spend money to fulfill other people’s artistic dreams?
How can anyone be so great?
Therefore, when Yu Fei Hongting and Shen Xudong mentioned Boss Chen, she was a little confused: "You said Boss Chen is rich..."
"Yeah, big water pipe! Very rich!"
"Then he doesn't have any requirements?"
"He wants to enter the industry now... he needs a stepping stone..."
"Didn't he invest in Wang Jinghua's company?"
Shen Xudong shook his head: "That's not enough. Simply being an artist manager is not considered entry into the industry. You also have to invest in movies. He told me that he had prepared 200 million to pay for tuition!"
Yu Feihong was surprised: "...you have such a good relationship with him?"
"I hit it off with him. He likes movies and TV series, and has always wanted to join this industry, but he is afraid of meeting scammers... He thinks I am quite happy and reliable..."
Yu Feihong shook her head: "But "Love Has an Afterlife" is hard to sell!"
In the original time and space, Yu Feihong couldn't boast, she could only tell stories to people over and over again, and she even reminded frankly that "the box office might not be very good", and then scared away N investors, and later it was still invested by Xingmei money…
"... Don't worry, the script will be as we finalized it. If we choose a suitable male protagonist, there shouldn't be any big problem if the box office exceeds 100 million!"
Concubine Yu rolled her eyes at him: "Just brag..."
"When have I ever boasted? In bed or out of bed!"
…
Boss Chen is indeed rich.
It should be said that coal bosses are quite rich. After all, it is the golden decade of coal. Coal bosses are a symbol of wealth!
In fact, in the 1980s and 1990s, when coal bosses were just getting started, the coal market was not booming and everyone was struggling...
When the Millennium fireworks pierced the night sky, the coal bosses didn't know what was happening, but happiness came knocking on the door quietly.
First, at the end of 2001, China joined the WTO, everything changed, and the demand for coal increased significantly. Although the coal price at that time was only 129 yuan per ton, the huge gap in raw coal exports made some far-sighted coal bosses smell the dawn. .
In 2002, the country canceled the guideline price of thermal coal, coal prices were market-oriented, and coal prices began to rise explosively. The "Golden Decade of Coal" officially began, and the "coal boss" as a symbol of wealth stepped onto the stage of history!
By 2006, coal prices had risen to 330 yuan per ton, and thermal coal prices had been pushed to 1,100 yuan per ton.
Many coal bosses who have not graduated from elementary school were struggling with debts in the past few years. Suddenly, like a sudden spring breeze, they have thousands of dollars in their pockets. Many of them even appear frequently and appear on the Hurun Energy Rich List...
Perhaps because money comes so easily and destiny changes so easily, coal bosses with little education to begin with will inevitably indulge in enjoyment after becoming rich overnight.
"The red flag does not fall down at home, but the colorful flags flutter outside", just like BMW and Land Rover, it is simply the standard equipment for coal bosses.
The most famous one is a certain coal boss in LL City. He only has three public wives, and each wife has a number of children. They look exactly like a wealthy family in feudal society.
Of course, having more wives is really hard work, so it is said that this coal boss always carries "Shenbao", "Guilingji", "Liuwei Dihuang Pills" and other medicines to strengthen the yang and nourish the kidneys in his bag for emergencies.
Luck in this world comes easily and goes easily.
This matter is ancient and difficult to complete.
Boss Chen is very far-sighted. He is not very interested in women. He prefers to engage in art!
Although he just graduated from high school, he just likes art, but he doesn't dare to invest rashly...
In those years, many peasant entrepreneurs in Shaanxi were deceived into investing in TV series.
It was written in "The Ordinary World" that Sun Shaoan was deceived into investing in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Fortunately, Sun Shaoping persuaded him, Shaoan simply used the money to build a primary school!
Boss Chen also had an experience. He said that if he invested in a large-scale TV series, his name could appear on the subsequent subtitles, but nothing happened...
Fortunately, he only spent 100,000 yuan!
After establishing his own theater company, many directors came to solicit investment, but... they all regarded him as a rich man!
He even told him how much he could earn based on the box office of the movie!
Do you think he is a fool?
He owns a movie theater and knows how to split the accounts!
He also said that he wanted to find celebrities from Hong Kong and Taiwan...
Among Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, he only recognizes Jackie Chan and Andy Lau!
Boss Chen is very disappointed with the so-called entertainment industry. He feels that it is just a group of people who treat outsiders as fools!
Then I met Shen Xudong...
He didn't think much of Shen Xudong at first, so what could a famous screenwriter or writer do?
How much social value can it create?
Then, after meeting and chatting briefly for a while, he felt that Shen Xudong was different from others.
First of all, Shen Xudong actually did not encourage him to enter the entertainment industry, and he said bluntly that there were too many scammers in this industry and too few people with real materials. These people have their own fixed partners. If you are an outsider entering the industry, you must first Pay tuition;
After that, the two kept in touch frequently, and he offered to invest in Shen Xudong’s works at high prices. The latter told him, ‘My projects already have investors! You wait for a more suitable opportunity...'
Then... introduced him to Wang Jinghua!
Of course, let’s first learn about Wang Jinghua, the number one agent in domestic entertainment at this stage.
Founded Shijiu Culture, which includes Chen Daoming, Xia Yu, Liu Jialin, Hu Jun...
By the way, Li Lianhua and Fan Jiuyi stayed in Huayi...
When Wang Jinghua was about to leave Huayi, the first person she attracted was Li Lianhua.
Lianhua has been with Sister Hua for almost ten years, and their relationship is very deep, but it also wavered at first. But Huayi responded in a timely manner and promised huge benefits, forcing him to keep it.
As for Sister Jiuyi, she is still thinking about the position of the first sister!
It would be better if Wang Jinghua left...
I just didn’t expect Zhou Xun to come, and Lotus didn’t leave either…
This is something.
In short, Shen Xudong told Boss Chen that this was an excellent opportunity, and the latter immediately prepared hundreds of millions of funds...
Then it cost 40 million!
It’s like bringing him into the industry, and it’s a way to save money…
Therefore, when he received the investment request for Shen Xudong's "Love Has an Afterlife", he agreed directly without thinking, and asked thoughtfully: "Is 40 million enough? If not, I will prepare another 50 million for you..."
"No, Boss Chen, this play is very risky..."
"Can it be shown?"
"That's for sure!"
"That's it...send me your account number...I'll transfer the money to you tomorrow!"
Hang up the phone directly...
Yu Feihong looked at Shen Xudong's expression: "How's it going?"
"It's done...he didn't even read the script..."
"Could he be a liar?"
"...The money will arrive tomorrow..."
