With an investment of two or three hundred million, and a movie box office of more than one billion, it will definitely make money.

The difference is that it is a big profit, and it is just a small profit. Anyway, as long as you don't lose money, for investors, it's equivalent to making money.

Because some investors don't care much about the box office dividends of the movie at all. They just want to identify the project, and then use the weight of the project to drive up the company's share price.

So in and out, I don't know how many leeks have been harvested.

The problem is that if they make money, Hu Yingshang will lose.

Zhou Mu said lightly: "The box office of more than one billion seems to be a lot. But with Brother Hu's status and the current box office of the movie, in contrast, it is to hit the street. ”

"The first part has a box office of more than 300 billion, and the second part ...... Even if it's called a prequel, it can't hide the essence of this sequel. ”

Zhou Mu said bluntly: "Brother Hu wasted half a year to work hard to shoot the second movie, but there are only a dozen 'mediocre' billions, is it worth it?"

“......”

Several investors were dumbfounded.

Of course, they want to say, it's worth it. However, everyone present was not stupid, and knew very well the relationship between the input and the harvest.

As we all know, the sequel to the movie is basically for money. If you can't make money and ruin your box office record, who is willing to do it?

Besides, Zhou Mu is not a mouthful.

Many movies are popular, but the plot has been explained, and I want to make a second part, what should I do? One is to do a prequel, and the other is to expand my thinking, borrow the names of the characters in the first part, start from scratch, and tell a new story.

However, whether it is a prequel or a new story, as long as it is under the guise of a sequel, the audience's evaluation is generally not high, and the box office is not very good, which ruins the reputation.

Does Hu Yingshang need to make money like this?

With this time and energy, it is better to think about a new movie.

With his current popularity and appeal, the new movie has a good chance of success.

The original movie makes a lot of money, and the word-of-mouth and the box office are flying together, isn't it fragrant?

All in all, the God of War sequel plan is not beneficial to Hu Yingshang, why should he agree to this proposal?

Several investors knew this, and suddenly fell silent.

"Ahem!"

At this time, Hu Yingshang opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Ah Mu, you are inflated, isn't it money for more than a billion......?

"Don't mind, young people don't know about the people's suffering, they can't move billions at every turn, and they don't understand the difficulty of making money. ”

He said happily: "So this thing ...... Let's look at it again?"

"Good, good ......"

"Okay, wait for your news, Mr. Hu. ”

"That...... We also have some problems, so we will take our leave. ”

A few people laughed awkwardly, but they were also very interested, and they got up and left. Hu Yingshang politely sent them away, and only returned two or three minutes later.

Entering the lounge, he didn't care about Li Shu and Tang Dongqing's presence, and said with a smile and approval: "Ah Mu, well done." Finally sent them away, annoying!"

"You don't want to be a wicked person yourself, but you use me as a gunman. ”

Zhou Mu said angrily: "Brother Hu, in the future, you can find someone else for this kind of thing." I was afraid that a few more times I would become notorious and discredited in the circle. ”

"Haha. ”

Hu Yingshang laughed, took out two things in his pocket, and stuffed two things into Zhou Mu's hands, "Don't worry, I won't let you work in vain, this is my thank you gift." Red envelope, double portion!"

"Ahem!"

Zhou Mu opened the red envelope, glanced at the number of the check, and immediately hid it in his personal pocket, with a happy smile on his face, "Brother, you are too polite." If there is such a thing in the future, be sure to call me, I am not afraid of offending people......"

Tsk, reality!

"It's not offended. ”

Hu Yingshang said with a smile: "They still have this mind, mainly because they have known each other for many years, and I can't wipe my face and tell the truth." On the contrary, it's you, as a weighty starring actor, who has a say in the sequel, and you directly refuse, they have nothing to say. ”

Zhou Mu squinted and looked to the side, "Teacher Li can also refuse." ”

For Li Shu, he was a little respectful. After all, behind the other party, he is entangled with capital, he can't see through it, so he simply doesn't contact.

But now, Li Shu actually brought Tang Dongqing over, is this going to be a showdown?

And Hu Yingshang, how much do you know about Tang Dongqing's worth?

Zhou Mu's thoughts fluctuated and he chose to be tempted.

"Why do I refuse, I'm in favor. ”

Li Shu's eyes were not very gentle, "The few works I starred in can reach more than one billion, and there are only a handful." ”

Her tone is not very friendly, "Unlike someone, who made his debut more than 200 million, and now has more than 300 billion, and the two small-budget movies he directed are more popular than the other, so he naturally doesn't look down on the 'mediocre' billion." ”

"Female artist, it's difficult. ”

Li Shu felt sorry for herself, "The shelf life is short, and the youth that is only a few years old will wither immediately." Don't make more money while you're young. When he gets old in the future, he can only play his mother-in-law for male artists of the same age, and be his mother...... It's sad!"

“......”

Zhou Mu regretted it, he shouldn't have been tempted.

No matter what, he pretended to be deaf and dumb and bowed his head to drink tea.

"Ahem. ”

Hu Yingshang could only go on top by himself, "Li Shu, don't talk so far...... What are you going to do if you want to buy the rights to God of War?"

"Huh?"

Zhou Mu pricked up his ears and listened.

"Develop it yourself. Li Shu said casually: "You look down on more than a billion business, I don't dislike it." ”

Hu Yingshang couldn't help scratching his head, and said helplessly: "You hurry up and tell the truth, otherwise how can I easily agree to you......"

"Don't worry, it's not a sequel. ”

Li Shu knew the truth of being too late, and immediately straightened his attitude and said seriously: "I think the theme of the god of war still has the potential to be explored. But it's not about making a second part, let alone a prequel, but ...... Shoot a TV series. ”

"TV series?"

For a moment, Hu Yingshang frowned thoughtfully.

"Yes. ”

Li Shu said: "Now many popular TV series have been adapted into movies and made money in the market. Popular films, adapted into TV series, should have a future. ”

"Mr. Hu, let's cooperate. ”

She showed her hole card, "Filmed into a TV series, it can not only be sold to TV stations, but also to video websites, and the income is definitely a lot." ”

This is much more reliable than making a sequel.

Hu Yingshang groaned.

He didn't think that if he knew the idea, he could leave Li Shu aside and start a TV series on his own. On the one hand, he has to face, and on the other hand, he is inexperienced.

The TV series was easy to shoot, but the filming was over. TV stations, video websites, will you definitely buy them?

Even if I buy it, does the price have to be high?

Not necessarily.

The film and television industry is a circle, and Hu Yingshang naturally knows that the buying and selling of TV dramas also has a set of rules for others. Even if he is a superstar, no one may sell him face.

It is really unnecessary to do it yourself, invest all kinds of financial and material resources and energy for the sake of a one-rod business, and spend time to open up various joints.

Looking at Li Shu's confident appearance, he knew that the other party had connections in this area, so he would play the idea of copyright.

After thinking about it for a while, Hu Yingshang also tended to cooperate, but he was also a little curious, "Li Shu, it's so good, why do you want to do a TV series?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Tang Dongqing and intuitively felt that this person was not simple. Sitting next to him, he looked calm and relaxed, not like Li Shu's attendant.

"I wanted to make a transition, try it out as much as I could, and become a producer. Movies are not good, so I use TV series to practice my skills. ”

Li Shu laughed at herself and said slowly: "The name Shuangqing Sidan has been called for four or five years. Among them, Qi Qingsi and Xu Qingling don't need to say much, one went to play anime, and the other started his own company, and it was booming. ”

"The so-called Sidan, Pu Liu is getting married, Zhuang Yan climbed up to Mo Huaixuan, and they are secretly dating. As for your cousin Yuda, with your care, there is no need to worry at all. ”

"It's just me...... There is no reliance. ”

Li Shu's eyes showed grievances, "I can't rely on the sky, the earth, or others, I can only rely on myself." Brother Hu, you should know that the entertainment industry is updated every few years. Not to mention, how fast the newcomers are now. ”

"What Wang Shaoai, what Han Xiaoman, one by one small flowers are blooming, and they are so popular, even I sigh to myself. Not to mention, what is the name of the newcomer who has been praised by the prosperous world recently...... That's right, Hana. ”

Li Shu sighed, "Born with white hair, elf-like appearance, good acting skills, and good singing, as soon as I debuted, I was two commercial blockbusters, and I had 30 million fans." ”

"I heard that seeing her momentum, galloping and brilliant are a little unable to sit still, and she also plans to launch her own newcomer in the near future, and she can't let Shengshi be beautiful!"

Li Shu said quietly: "Mr. Hu, you don't understand that we female artists are under a lot of pressure, if you don't want to be forgotten by fans and abandoned by the industry, you can only find another way...... In other words, leave yourself a way out, so as not to be desolate in your old age. ”

“...... Mr. Hu, what do you think?"

Her eyes sparkled, a little moist.

Hu Yingshang sighed, "Okay, I promise...... Go back and ask someone to talk to my agent. In principle, I agreed to cooperate and develop a TV series together. The specific details will be discussed slowly. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Hu. ”

Li Shu cried with joy, tears flowing.

Zhou Mu silently handed over the banknote.

She took it, wiped it lightly, got up and said, "I'm sorry, I lost my temper." I'll touch up my makeup and see you later. ”

She left, Tang Dongqing carried her bag, and followed suit.

The door closed, Hu Yingshang and Zhou Mu were silent, staring at each other with big eyes. After a while, Hu Yingshang sighed and said, "Ah Mu, have I been tricked?"

"Hmm...... Should be. ”

Zhou Mu pondered, nodded seriously, and then added: "But you can understand." Men always can't see women crying, especially when they can't see beauties crying, you just made a mistake that all men in the world will make, don't blame yourself. ”

"Makes sense. ”

Hu Yingshang thought so, "Ah Mu, you cultural people still have a heart and know how to excuse themselves. ”

“......”

Zhou Mu wanted to snort, but finally held back and chose to roll his eyes.

"But it's also true. ”

Hu Yingshang shook his head, "Even if I know that she is crying on purpose, I still can't help but soften." Hey, beautiful woman, you can't prevent it from deceiving people. ”

Zhou Mu ignored it and continued to drink tea.

"Tuk tuk. ”

At this time, someone knocked on the door outside and entered, he was Hu Yingshang's assistant, and when he came in, he reported directly, "Boss, Mr. Wei is here." ”

"Oh, this is a VIP, I'm going to greet you. ”

Hu Yingshang immediately said: "Ah Mu, you go out with me to get to know that Mr. Wei, he is a big man, and his energy is not small......"

"Forget it. ”

Zhou Mu waved his hand and said: "I filmed early in the morning, and I was busy with makeup and styling in the afternoon, and I was tired." Let me be here and rest for a while. When the celebration begins, call me again. ”

"You're ......"

Hu Yingshang wanted to speak and stopped.

Forget it, don't persuade it, it's important to entertain VIPs.

He hurriedly went out with his assistant, leaving Zhou Mu alone in the lounge.

How good a person is, enough quiet.

He didn't want to go back to the hotel lobby so soon anyway.

It's not that I'm worried about what I'm afraid of, it's mainly that I hate socializing.

That's right, that's it......

Escaping is shameful, but useful. Zhou Mu was at ease and stayed in the lounge before preparing to make himself a pot of tea.

Caught off guard, behind him, there was a click. A hidden door opened, and a beautiful woman in red appeared alive in front of him.

Zhou Mu was dumbfounded, and pounced as soon as possible...... Check the door.

"Traps?"

He groped up and down and exclaimed, "There is such a secret door in the lounge, what is it usually used for, it is very scary to think about it......"

Yu Da smiled and watched him perform.

Zhou Mu suddenly felt bored.

All right.

As soon as he looked at it, he knew that it was a normal little door.

Lounge 1 is outside the hall and lounge 2 is inside. Two lounges with small doors connecting for easy access.

This hotel is really ...... Bring sand to the beach.

Zhou Mu complained and felt that this design was really unreasonable.

He turned around, glanced at Yu Da, and decided to speak, "...... Your cousin is not here, and he has gone to entertain the guests. ”

"Who cares about him, I'm coming for you. ”

Yu Da is very upright, with a straightforward smile, bright and charming.

Zhou Mu was not shocked, "What are you looking for me?"

"I recently learned to dance. Her soft and white little hand was on Zhou Mu's shoulder, her smile was enthusiastic, and she said with great interest: "I'll show it." ”

"What?"

Zhou Mu was a little stunned, and then lost his mind.

At this time, Yu Da took him as the center and slowly twisted her soft waist, her movements were very rusty, and she seemed familiar.

By the way, this is......

Zhou Mu came back to his senses in a trance, this is obviously the glamorous dance in "God of War" in which the concubine seduced him and danced in the court. It's just that at that time, stand-ins were used to make movies.

Now Yu Da is in battle.

Waist posture, soft into the bone.

Caught off guard, with a sharp turn, a few wisps of green silk fluttered across his face.

A faint aroma, crispy and itchy.

Vaguely, he remembered that someone still owed him a dance.

In the sharp turn, Yu Da hadn't practiced yet, she couldn't stop the rotation, and seeing that she was about to fall, Zhou Mu hurriedly stretched out her hand to intercept it, and then it was logical......

Two people fell together.

Thankfully, the carpet was soft and thick, so it didn't hurt much.

Zhou Mu got up, glanced at Yu Da, hesitated, frowned, and said, "You haven't gotten up yet, when are you going to lie down?"

Don't be an internal injury.

Yu Da smiled and stretched out her arms, "You caused me to fall, and you are responsible for picking me up." ”

"You...... Blackmail. ”

Zhou Mu was not angry, "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you." ”

He took two steps, but he still relented and turned around and pulled Yu Da up. The smooth and soft body crashed into his arms, and the air became sweet.

He was a little distracted, and suddenly he heard a slight movement. In an instant, a beastly intuition made him let go of Yu Da and rushed over.

Pull the door, go out, reverse lock......

Coherent.

Then I looked up and saw Tang Dongqing......
