"Mr. Xu, this place is really hard to find, I looked for Chaoyang first, and then asked a few people to find out. ”

"Oh, do you know Lao Zhang?"

"I met when I was in college in the United States. ”

In a coffee house near the set, Xu Fei and Xiong Xiaoge sat down.

Before coming, Xiong Xiaoge had investigated clearly: domestic film and television predators are quite popular with the superiors, and he is not obvious, but he has strong assets and hands and eyes.

More importantly, he is not the old-school businessman, he is very innovative, more innovative than the Americans.

Two words, difficult!

But then again, it's also very fun.

So Xiong Xiaoge got straight to the point and said: "I work at IDG, responsible for Asia-Pacific affairs, and I am very optimistic about the potential of Sohu and am willing to invest and cooperate. ”

"Your family?"

"No, I know a few Wall Street friends. ”

"Huh. ”

The two of them smiled at the same time, tacitly.

Why does capital invest money in you, do you really think that it is to help the needy and help the young? It's not for the sake of making money.

How to make money on the Internet, financing and listing, and listing to make money. The Internet industry in the United States is booming, and there is no way to grab investment targets in China, so it can only turn to the East.

And Sohu wants to be listed in the United States, if it doesn't share the profits with Wall Street, how can it make money from American stockholders?

"I will convene relevant parties as soon as possible to do a value assessment for Sohu. ”

"Actually, there's no need to worry, I heard that the World Computer Expo is going to be held in Beijing?"

"Yes, next March. ”

Xiong Xiaoge nodded and said with a smile: "It's a good opportunity, I wish us a happy cooperation." ”

In a few words, a big event was set, Xiong Xiaoge left, and Mr. Xu continued to be busy shooting.

Lionsgate soon signed a contract with Cactus, and the two sides jointly invested in the Human Eradication Project for a total of $3 million. Then use Lionsgate's distribution channels to share the box office.

Gusta equaled making two portions of money, the issuance fee and the split account. This is Xu Fei's concession, he made this film just to attract allies.

If you don't invite a star at a small cost, everything is simple. Xu Fei performed another handful of oriental metaphysics:

The male protagonist Gerard Butler, the one from "300 Warriors", and the female protagonist Naomi Watts, who have a miserable life in Hollywood, will be kicked out of the residence by the landlord next year because she has not paid the rent for 3 consecutive months.

The eldest daughter is Amanda Seyfried, 12 years old, well......

This is the sweetness for Lionsgate, and I have to strengthen myself. His team is scrambling to find targets to refine the composition of the Cactus Company.

And in contact with two tech nerds, one named Larry and the other called Sergei.

In September, they will get $100,000 from an alumnus to start a company called Google in a friend's garage.

Mr. Xu doesn't ask for more, this kind of behemoth will definitely be invaded by Wall Street in the future, and it is enough for him to keep some shares.

..................

In the blink of an eye, 1997 has become 1998.

When Mr. Xu struggled on the other side of the ocean, China was already preparing for the New Year.

This year's Spring Festival is early, January 27 is Chinese New Year's Eve. Times Media's work arrangements are very busy, busy, and various departments hold meetings.

All the meetings in the world are presided over by Xu Fei, and now Boss Chen is personally in battle.

"This year, we have five dramas to be broadcast: "Tai Chi Grandmaster", "Spring Splendid Pig Bajie", "Love Through Time and Space", "Mansion Gate" and "Never Look Away".

There is another movie "No One is Missing".

In terms of production, there are "Poor Zhang Damin", "Holding Hands" and "Serious Case Six Group 2". ”

"It's all realistic themes?" Xiao Xu asked.

"There are costumes, there are costumes!"

Watermelon Studio hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Well, we want to engage in martial arts this year." The company has never filmed a martial arts drama before, so you can give it a try. ”

"Yes, Taiwan's television industry has developed to the mainland in the past two years. This year, there are at least two martial arts dramas "Xiao Li Flying Knife" and "White-haired Witch", and I also contacted the company's actors to let Wu Jing and Qinqin go. "A mid-level Taoist.

"Don't go!"

Xiao Xu was more willful than Teacher Xu, and said, "If we want to shoot it ourselves, which one have you prepared?"

Buzz!

In an instant, the watermelon studio quarreled.

"Gu Long is good! strange and treacherous, people can't help but be in the rivers and lakes, and they have the most martial arts flavor. ”

"Jin Yong is good, the great man is for the country and the people, and Jin Yong's drama is the most popular. ”

Look at our actors, Huang Haibing is suave, and he is obviously an ancient dragon. ”

"Jiang Qinqin is classical and dignified, and it is also suitable for Jin Yong's beauty!"

"Pull it down, the classical and dignified still asked her to play "The White-Haired Witch"?"

"Stop!"

Xiao Xu knocked on the table, "Let's talk about the difference in production." ”

"Well, Jin Yong has a sense of history, I think I can make a big drama. Gulongjiang Lake is full of gas and is more suitable for commercial elements. ”

"Big Drama ......"

She thought about it, didn't say anything, and asked, "What about the Chinese New Year film?"

"This and this!"

Feng Pants hurriedly picked up and said, "I thought of an idea to satirize the ...... of the current flood of advertisements and false propaganda."

"We are the advertising agency!" Xiao Xu rolled his eyes.

"It's different, it's different, we're a legitimate cause, and movies are artistic satire. It is about a big star who died, and his funeral became the target of advertisers, all kinds of farces in the world...... That's probably the theme. ”

"The idea is good, and then I will study it in detail. ”

Xiao Xu waved his hand and said, "The production staff will go out first." ”

A group of people cheered up and obediently rolled out of the conference room, leaving the commercial operations department.

"Quote revenue. ”

"The Wind" actually invested 36 million, and the final box office was 114 million, with a profit of only more than 10 million. "Endless" has an advertising sponsorship of more than 10 million, erasing the cost, and is still in theaters, with an estimated box office of about 38 million and a profit of about 18 million.

In addition to "Mansion Gate", 9 TV series have been sold. Because of Deng Jianguo's incident, he made profits to the TV station, and only took 120 million in advertising fees, making a profit of about 70 million. ”

"That's 100 million?"

Xiao Xu recorded a few strokes and said: ""Water Margin" has been broadcast, and the ratings are clear.

Let me remind you that this year, the national TV station will be on the stars, which means that advertising revenue will grow, and local stations will become a force to be reckoned with.

With money, it is natural to pursue higher. Big dramas like "Water Margin" are no longer rare, and there will be more and more in the future.

So we also have to transform, and grasp the big and small dramas with one hand. When "Water Margin" is finished, I will hold a film buying meeting to openly compete for the ...... of "Mansion Gate"

Boss Chen overbearing the president: "50 million! I want 50 million!"

............

"Are you back?"

"I'm freezing to death!"

At night, Xiao Xu stomped on the mat at the door of her house, Zhang Li held her hand and covered her face again.

Boss Chen didn't look like he was in the company at all, he fell on the sofa and began to shout: "I want to eat here!"

"Uh-huh. ”

Zhang Li served an overheated meal, a plate of fried vegetables, and a plate of pork belly. Slice the cooked pork belly, adjust the sauce, and dip it directly.

One bite at a time, one bite at a time, tsk!

"The great river flows eastward, and the stars in the sky are in the Beidou ......"

At the end of an episode of "Water Margin" on TV, the famous "Song of a Good Man". It was launched on January 8 and immediately set off a national craze.

When it came to Song Jiang's episode, there was another buddy who smashed the TV angrily, and CCTV paid him another one after it was over.

Xiao Xu turned around to watch TV and said, "I have a meeting today, and I said that I would shoot a martial arts drama, do you think it would be good to make it like "Water Margin"?"

"I don't watch martial arts. ”

"I don't look at it either!"

Xiao Xu chewed the meat, frowned and stretched out, "Forget it, let Mr. Xu have a headache, anyway, I'll go to him after a while." ”

"He's working hard in the United States. ”

"Well, treat him again. ”
