Chapter 63: Buying a Toy Factory
If people in the previous life heard that Peng Hui only needed 10 million to shoot ten films, he would definitely die of laughter! Because even Peng Hui himself couldn't afford to invite himself.
A drama with a volume of 500 million red banknotes, Peng Hui's personal salary is at least 20 million US dollars!
In other words, just Peng Hui's personal salary has reached one-fifth of the total cost.
So he really can't pay his own salary.
So in his previous life, in most cases, Peng Hui took dividends.
Looking for him to film?
Not to mention that no one can afford to invite him, even if someone is really willing to spend a lot of money to invite him, the script is not good, and Peng Hui will not star.
Raise money with a director who broke one billion at the box office and a salary of more than 100 million yuan for a random movie?
I'm afraid that those top rich second generations can't be richer than him.
And he is basically a business without capital.
If he really has no money, as long as he says that he wants to make a movie, some of them are good scripts and good projects.
Wang Cong already belongs to the top rich second generation.
The son of the richest man.
But even the money in Wang Cong's hand is not as much as Peng Hui.
And the truth is that he is still young, not yet thirty years old.
There were also people who wanted to get a piece of the pie, but what happened?
Peng Hui didn't do anything, so naturally there were people to help him.
Why?
Peng Hui has one of the biggest problems.
Calf guards.
With this, he is very well-known in the circle.
At that time, it was not the pre-millennium Xiangjiang.
Naturally, he will not be the kind of cattle and sheep to be slaughtered.
There are people above to protect him, and there are people below to support him.
If someone wants to move him, he has to think about the consequences.
In fact, in that era, he had become a cover and a symbol of domestic directors.
Some people may dare to move Feng Liuye, and they may dare to move Lao Mouzi.
But have you ever seen anyone dare to touch Chen Kaige?
The background of the big courtyard disciples, do you dare to try one casually?
Although Peng Hui is not a disciple of the big courtyard, he is one of the few directors in China who have a very good relationship with the Hong Kong circle, the Beijing circle, the Shanghai gang and even a few capital tycoons.
Want to touch him?
I'm afraid I don't want to die.
Such a person, filming a film, less than 20% of the share, don't even think about getting into the eyes of others.
But even so, in his previous life, there were people who wanted to film with him.
Objective......
It's just a stain.
Because Peng Hui rarely shoots sequels, he only acts or directs the first part of most of his works.
Subsequent IP development will generally be handed over.
What does this mean?
This means that as long as someone takes over the previous plate, even if it is as it is, as long as the script is slightly changed and a new protagonist is made, you can make money lying down!
In this way, who would not be happy to cooperate with Peng Hui?
Someone will ask.
If Peng Hui only starred in the first part, wouldn't the second part make people a trap?
Not.
For example, in a series, as long as the actor is not Peng Hui, but only starring, Peng Hui is also very happy.
For example, if he is a director, he will also provide a draft of the script for the second part.
The other party can shoot according to this draft.
Of course, what he asked for was a pen polishing fee.
Ten years later, Michelle still bluntly said in an interview that this loan is still the most commendable decision of his life.
Not one of them!
After getting a loan of 10 million, Peng Hui went to Pengda Toy Factory.
The product logo of Pengda Toy Factory is a capital PD.
It's pretty average.
Peng Hui has money in his hands, so he naturally doesn't worry about anything.
Finally, after a few days of fierce battles, the toy factory was finally bought for five million.
Of course, Meng Minghui eventually served as the director of the toy factory.
Because for the Meng family, this factory is an ancestral heirloom.
And the reason why Meng Minghui sold this factory was actually because of an unspeakable thing.
His son Meng Lang accidentally got into the lover of a certain business tycoon, and the other party was angry and directly began to snipe at Pengda Toy Factory.
In the end, Pengda Toy Factory couldn't make ends meet, and it had been eight months without payroll.
In desperation, Meng Minghui decided to sell Pengda Toy Factory.
It is precisely because of this commercial information that the final transaction price was compressed to five million.
And Meng Minghui is still the director of the toy factory.
Peng Hui directly accounted for 70% of the factory's shares.
At first, Xue Shanshan couldn't understand.
Since you bought this toy factory, why do you still want to keep the identity of Meng Minghui's director?
And why do you want to keep those old ministries?
And, most importantly, the most important point.
Peng Hui, a director, what does he do when he buys a toy factory?
Peng Hui smiled and didn't say anything.
Peng Hui paid the workers' wages as soon as possible, and then gave a very strange order.
Modify the toy assembly line.
What to change?
Changed to a yo-yo production line.
This is not difficult, the production process of the yo-yo itself is not particularly complicated, and it does not require much effort to modify the production line.
After the factory made 500,000 yo-yos from the remaining materials, it went into a shutdown period.
Although the workers were puzzled, they were also happy.
On the other hand, Peng Hui began to prepare for the third play, that is, "The Fire Boy King".
Compared with the other two dramas, the total investment of this drama has been increased to 10 million.
In the end, Wang Cong and Michelle each invested 3 million, and Peng Hui personally took out 4 million.
scraped together enough to spend 10 million on the production of this special effects drama.
The candidate for the actor is the "Wang Sledgehammer" Bai Ke, who has just become popular with "Never Expected".
The candidate for the heroine was finalized by Zhou Yawen, who had worked together before and signed under the Banana Project.
It is worth mentioning that Huang Jia just changed jobs not long ago.
It is said that he jumped to the entertainment company of the wife of the owner of a certain industry platform.
A lawsuit is ongoing.
But even if it's true that she's still there, Peng Hui won't use her.
is still the same sentence, the girl's face is too heroic, there are not many roles suitable for her, and Mi Li's person is too different from her image.
As for the rest, they are basically some artists who have collaborated with "Never Expected" or "Sling Man" before.
Of course, there are still some tricks that are found externally.
The remuneration of actors is very low in this regard.
Because it's all friendship price.
So it's basically only tens of thousands.
However, with the idea of giving it a try, Peng Hui called Liu Jinshui for a cameo invitation.
Unfortunately, Liu Jinshui finally refused on the grounds that the schedule was insufficient.
However, Liu Jinshui also said that in the next play, as long as Peng Hui said it in advance, she would come.
Peng Hui found out later.
It turned out that it was not that Liu Jinshui was not enough at the moment, but because she had been in trouble again recently.
