Chapter 174: Rejection (4/5)

Lu Xiaoran is the contracted director of Pony Benteng.

Both parties signed the contract!

Pony Bento enjoys the right of priority investment in Lu Xiaoran's works, and according to the regulations, Lu Xiaoran is obliged to come up with one work every year...

The contract is for five years.

The two movies "Border Storm" and "Rescue Mr. Wu" are mainly controlled by ponies...

Therefore, the biggest benefit of "Rescue Mr. Wu" is actually the pony Bento.

Preliminary account sharing, "Rescue Mr. Wu" should be able to make a profit of about 20 million after deducting the cost of publicity and distribution.

Ponies account for forty percent, or 8 million...

Don't think that eight million is very little, these days, except for Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang's movies, no one dares to guarantee that they will not lose money!

Xiaoma invested in two movies in 07, "Anti-Narcotics Police" and "Left and Right", but he lost a mess, especially "Left and Right", and originally counted on Wang Xiaoshuai's reputation to sell overseas copyrights...

Thinking too much, Wang Xiaoshuai's reputation is far behind...

Then, Li Ming learned from the pain, and then signed Liu Zhenwei and Wu Baige...

Originally, it wasn't until '09 that Pony Bento began to make a difference in the film market - participating in two films, "Cyborg" and "Koshihikari Treasure Box".

Li Ming is very grateful to Lu Xiaoran.

The question is, after "Rescue Mr. Wu", what kind of attitude should he use towards Lu Xiaoran?

As far as he knows, Orange Imaging is not only Lu Xiaoran's personal film studio, but also participates in film and television drama investment, and "Nightclub" has achieved good results.

He also has "The Wind" in cooperation with Huayi and China Film on hand;

"The Age of Fruit Marriage" in cooperation with TV and radio media;

Runshi Glory's cooperation "Black Fox" and "Confrontation"...

I heard that I also made a "People in Embarrassment" with Xu Zheng...

Coupled with the 180 million box office of "Rescue Mr. Wu", Lu Xiaoran has already made a signboard...

In other words, in terms of status, Lu Xiaoran is not false!

At this time, if Lu Xiaoran wants to leave, or throw off the pony and make a movie by himself, what can the pony do?

It seems that nothing can be done!

Thinking like this, he suddenly panicked.

Seeing that Lu Xiaoran and Huang Xiaoming were chatting happily at the celebration banquet, he panicked even more...

......

"Congratulations to Director Lu, I watched "Rescue Mr. Wu", it is very good, a masterpiece of domestic crime films!"

It's Brother Xiao Ming.

Let's speak in good conscience, Brother Xiao Ming has a good attitude and a good image, and he is known as the two favorite artists of the media along with Fan Xiaoye.

Even in the face of Lu Xiaoran, people are polite and courteous, and they will not look a little low.

“... Thank you!"

Lu Xiaoran looked down at his shoes...

Xiao Luzi's official height is 183, his actual height is 182, and Xiao Mingge's height...

180 is actually half a head shorter than 182!

Tsk, 171 rounded up is also 180?

Then, Huang Xiaoming expressed a lot of opinions on the steady development of China's film box office market, and Lu Xiaoran agreed with all of them...

In this way, five minutes later, Brother Xiao Ming finally got to the point: "I heard that your company is going to make "The Wind"?"

"Yes. ”

"Have you chosen the actors?"

"It's almost, it should start shooting in February next year, I don't know the specifics, anyway, the preliminary preparations are handed over to Director Chen Guofu!"

Huang Xiaoming was surprised: "Director Chen?"

"Yes, he's very interested in The Wind. ”

“... In fact, I am also very interested in "The Wind", and I have read several of Mr. Mai's books... And the copyright of "Decryption" is in my hands!"

"Really?"

Isn't the copyright of "Decryption" in the hands of Great Aim ?

Huang Xiaoming nodded: "I bought it and gave it to Sister Zhu..."

"Well, the spy war drama market is good now, the original work of "Decryption" is very exquisite, and if it is filmed well, it will be another high-quality drama!"

Huang Xiaoming simply picked it out: "Are you interested in "Decryption"?"

“... How so?"

"If you are interested, I can introduce Sister Zhu to you, and then we will develop it together!"

Sister Zhu is Zhu Hongmei, the boss of Huace Film and Television...

The relationship between Zhu Hongmei and Xiao Ming can be traced back to "The Merry Genius Tang Bohu" in 03, and the producer of that play, Zhu Hongmei, is now the major shareholder of Huace Film and Television...

Brother Xiao Ming is really good at being a man!

He wants a role, but he gave Lu Xiaoran a big gift package!

As long as Lu Xiaoran agrees, Great Aim will definitely cooperate with Orange Image - with "Latent" in front, Lu Xiaoran still has some status in the field of spy war dramas.

There is absolutely no shortage of TV stations to pay.

Lu Xiaoran still shook his head: "Forget it, it's too troublesome, our company has a lot of projects in development..."

Huang Xiaoming was a little embarrassed...

The rest of the sentence was not mentioned again.

......

"Brother Dog!"

"Xiaoran!"

With laughter, Li Ming: "You are really amazing!"

"Huh?"

""Rescue Mr. Wu" has set a new box office record for domestic police and gangster films!"

“... That's all Andy Lau's popularity, and it has nothing to do with me..."

"You are less modest..."Li Ming waved his hand: "I heard that you bought the copyright of "Sunspots"? What, you want to shoot it next?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, I've been working continuously for the past two years, I'm too tired, and there may be a TV series next year!"

"It's okay to rest..."Li Ming nodded and changed the subject: "What did you just talk to Xiao Ming about?"

“... It's nothing. Lu Xiaoran smiled: "When will "Cyborg" be released?"

"It's tentatively set for August..."

"Summer file, it's good. ”

It's very good, with Liu Zhenwei's fame, it's still a casual thing to catch up with the domestic film protection month and earn a pension.

Li Ming still wanted to drag back the topic: "Xiaoran, are you really not going to film this year?"

"It's definitely filming, but it's not as a director, it's more about acting..."

"That "Fruit Marriage Era"?"

"Oh, that's what TV and radio media talked to me about, and I happened to have a script on hand, and they were very satisfied, and then they developed it together... That's a TV series!"

Speaking of this, Lu Xiaoran looked at Li Ming strangely: "Big dog, why are you interested in TV series?"

“... We ponies also make TV dramas!"

"I really forgot this..."Lu Xiaoran explained awkwardly...

I have to say that Lu Xiaoran didn't think about getting rid of ponies completely now and going it alone...

Li Ming has the grace of knowing him after all!

And Lu Xiaoran is quite satisfied with the current state, and the cooperation between the two sides is okay, and there are not so many contradictions.

Then, Li Ming's words made Lu Xiaoran a little unhappy:

"Next time you have any projects, it's best to tell me in advance, and I can help you refer to it!"

“... No need, we are all petty fights, and the total investment of "Nightclub" is only 3.6 million... Including the current "People in Embarrassment", the investment is only 4.4 million..."

"Then you don't trust me, afraid that I will rob you of your project?"

“... No, how can I not trust the big dog brother, it's really just that the investment is too small, and I'm too embarrassed to take it out..."
