[Q&A Volume-1, Remaining Inventory 0]: The movie "Hotel No. 17" is the dark horse of the Chinese suspense movie box office in 2019, with a final box office of 1.7 billion.

"1.7 billion?"

Zheng Ge's eyes lit up, and he was pleasantly surprised.

I didn't expect to accompany Yao Yao to hang out, and I could encounter such an opportunity.

This woman, what about the lucky attribute?

Zheng Ge glanced at Yao Yao inexplicably, making Yao Yao look strange.

"How much did you invest in this film?"

Zheng Ge put down the script and asked.

"The investment is not large, and it is estimated that it will take 5 million. ”

The young director with eyes said, a flash of nervousness on his face.

"Okay, I'll invest this money. ”

Zheng Ge said with a wave of his hand.

1.7 billion box office, only 5 million was invested, and it made a lot of money.

Despite the box office of 1.7 billion, it still has to pay a special business tax of 3.3% and a special fund for the film industry of 5%. The remaining 91.7% will be shared with cinemas, cinemas, and distributors, and the remaining ones are estimated to be five or six billion.

But it's worth it!

It's just five or six hundred million for nothing.

"You voted?"

The eyed youth and his friends were shocked.

"Yes, 5 million, I vote...... Finish. Zheng Ge's tone paused, and he suddenly remembered that he had hundreds of thousands of cash left on him.

"Damn, I just made an investment of hundreds of millions, and now I'm in trouble for millions. ”

Zheng Ge was speechless.

Immediately, he took out a business card and said, "This is my business card, you guys prepare it and call me." As soon as the contract is signed, the money arrives in the account. Although he had no money in his pocket, he was not intimidated at all.

This is the confidence brought by hundreds of millions of dollars.

"Okay, by the way, my name is Xu Dali, and this is my phone. ”

Xu Dali nervously took a note and wrote his phone number.

Zheng Ge took the note and left the fundraising office with Yao Yao.

Xu Dali and others also took the stalls.

......

"Are you optimistic about this movie?"

Walking on a small road, Yao Yao asked curiously.

"Yes, the script is wonderful. ”

Zheng Ge laughed.

"But many times, a good script will make a bad movie. Yao Yao reminded.

"It's only 5 million, what can it do even if it's a bad movie?" Zheng Ge shook his head.

Yao Yao was speechless.

It seems that this is the case, Zheng Ge is worth hundreds of millions, but it is only 5 million, which is indeed a small investment.

After walking around, the two found a Western restaurant for lunch, and then separated.

After separating from Yao Yao, Zheng Ge returned to the hotel, pondered for a while, and dialed Xi Meng's phone, "Hey, Xi Meng, can the company come up with 5 million without affecting the operation?"

"5 million?"

Xi Meng was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes." ”

"Okay, go to my account, I'm useful. The 5 million will be used as part of the repayment of the 50 million loan. ”

Zheng Ge said.

"Okay. ”

Simon answered.

......

In the afternoon, Zheng Ge and Yao Yao walked around various scenic spots in Pengcheng. was about to go to Huaxi Valley for a walk, when Xu Dali suddenly called.

"Let's go, meet the young director. ”

Zheng Ge hung up the phone and smiled at Yao Yao.

"Good. ”

Yao Yao nodded.

In a hotel, Zheng Ge saw Xu Dali again.

"Mr. Zheng, this is a contract. ”

Xu Dali handed the drawn contract to Zheng Ge.

Zheng Ge looked through it, it was okay.

The film was entirely invested by him.

Xu Dali is a director and does not have the right to box office dividends, but he has the copyright fee of the script and the director's salary.

"Okay. ”

Zheng Ge nodded and signed the contract.

"The funds will arrive quickly, and the rest will be handed over to you. ”

Put the contract away, Zheng Ge said to Xu Dali.

"Mr. Zheng, rest assured, I will definitely do my best. Xu Dali is full of confidence, this is the first work in his career, although there is no box office share, but if it becomes popular, will there be a shortage of money in the future?

Zheng Ge nodded.

"Mr. Zheng, the crew has been selected, the leading actor, and some supporting roles have also been selected. It's just that because of limited funds, the actors I am looking for are basically amateurs, and there are only two old actors who have not been paid attention to. Xu Dali said.

"It's quite efficient! The crew has been formed?"

Zheng Ge was surprised.

Xu Dali said embarrassedly: "Before I found the investment, I had already contacted some friends. The actors, as well as the crew, are almost all my friends and classmates. As soon as I was informed, it was there immediately. ”

Zheng Ge nodded.

"It's just that the heroine hasn't been chosen yet. I'm going to audition for the heroine tomorrow at the School of Acting of Pengcheng University, and Mr. Zheng can come and see it if he has time tomorrow. Xu Dali said again.

"Choosing a heroine?"

Zheng Ge's eyes lit up, and he was a little curious.

"Okay, it's okay to go around tomorrow. ”

Zheng Ge said.

Yao Yao on the side glanced up at Zheng Ge thoughtfully.

......

The next morning, Zheng Ge and Yao Yao came to Pengcheng University again.

Xu Dali was not notified, and the two just stood on the periphery and watched. There are really a lot of girls who participate in the heroine audition, and there is a long queue.

"There are so many beautiful women. Zheng Ge smiled.

"Normal, learning to act, appearance is the first level. Yao Yao said.

"Yes. Zheng Ge turned to look at Yao Yao and joked: "With Miss Yao's appearance and figure, if you go to the entertainment industry, you will be the queen of heaven in the future." ”

When Yao Yao heard this, a touch of disgust flashed in her eyes, and she said, "Forget it, it's too dirty." ”

Zheng Ge looked at her in surprise.

Yao Yao said: "I have done an online live broadcast platform, and there are some intersections between online live broadcast and the entertainment industry, such as sending the big anchor of the platform, participating in some activities in the entertainment industry, and going on TV or something. After coming into contact with the entertainment industry, I feel that this pool of water is deeper and dirtier than I imagined. She paused and said, "Of course, it doesn't matter if we make investments." In the entertainment industry, capital is king. Capital wants to support a person, as long as this person is not too scumbag, he will be able to hold it. ”

"Are the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry really that serious?" Zheng Ge looked at the little beauties waiting for the audition, a little curious.

For all kinds of things in the entertainment industry, he just looks at hearsay on the Internet, and he doesn't know whether it's true or not.

"In short, if a newcomer doesn't have a chance, it's hard to get ahead. Especially actresses, even if they are lucky because of a play, it is difficult to gain a firm foothold without a good backer. This made those audacious directors, as well as some capitalists, think about the unspoken rules. In the end, Yao Yao blinked her beautiful eyes and glanced at Zheng Ge deeply, seriously doubting his true purpose of investing in movies.

She knows that some capital invests in the entertainment industry just for the unspoken rules of actresses.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm just just optimistic about this movie. ”

Zheng Ge noticed her eyes and waved his hand speechlessly.

He wants beautiful women, does he still need unspoken rules? No money, just his appearance can charm a little fairy.

Yao Yao pouted, she didn't believe that Zheng Ge didn't have that mind.

However, she and Zheng Ge are only friends and partners now, and it is difficult to manage too widely.

As the audition progressed, one by one the beauties were eliminated.

It wasn't until noon that Xu Dali selected a more satisfactory heroine.

"Mr. Zheng, this is Bai Wenjing, and her acting skills are absolutely first-class among rookie actors. And the temperament is very much in line with the heroine in my heart. ”

Xu Dali pointed to an elegant and quiet girl and said to Zheng Ge.
