Chapter 229: Two Small Goals

Yuexiang is still very refreshing, and after signing the contract, all the money was settled to Chen Xiao on the same day.

That's 60 million in total.

This is the money Chen Xiao earns in one day.

Look, if the copyright of a song sells well, it is definitely a sky-high price, which is still low.

This is also why Chen Xiao emphasized that the copyright was in his own hands when he wrote songs for others before.

If you write songs for other singers and sell them, it will be great if the copyright can sell for millions at most.

But if you sell it to these big companies, the price is multiplied by a factor of ten.

The contract signed by Chen Xiao and Tian Lai at that time was just his own song.

Yuexiang bought the copyright of this song, so the copyright of this song no longer belongs to Chen Xiao, so it will not be listed on the Tian Lai platform.

This is not a violation of the agreement with Teana.

After Yuexiang's money arrived, Chen Xiao counted his money with his fingers.

I found that my balance had broken through two small goals and reached 220 million.

220 million!

Suddenly, Chen Xiao felt that the sunlight around him had become colorful, and the air had become fresher, as if there was still 'Brother is just a legend' floating in his ears.

This feeling is really refreshing.

That's more than 200 million, and even if it's deposited in the bank, the interest for a year will be 3 million.

I may not have to do anything all year round, and I may not be able to spend all the three million alone.

If you manage your finances, you may earn more.

And until now, he has been selling, although he doesn't make much, but fortunately, it has been a steady stream.

and his movie "The Grim Reaper" has not yet been released, and if it is released, it will still make a lot of money.

There is also "The Phantom of the Opera" also going on tour, which is also a steady stream of inputs.

Chen Xiao was lying on the bed looking at the ceiling, and the thinking in his head became more and more unclear, as if a mess had been stuffed into his head.

He felt as if he didn't have to work hard, as long as he didn't gamble, hundreds of millions of dollars would be enough for his life.

If that's the case, why should he continue to fight?

But then he thought of the building he still had to build and the cost of hundreds of millions, and his mind instantly cleared up a lot.

No, what is 200 million?

At least a billion will do.

It is necessary not only to have money, but also to have fixed assets, otherwise no matter how much money there is, it will be empty.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao instantly became energetic again.

What to do first?

Of course, it's about to get the drive-in theater project started.

After the drive-in theater has improved to a certain extent, you can take the opportunity to directly enter the ordinary theater market, so that you can gain a firm foothold.

But if you want to run a theater by yourself, the most important thing is the film copyright, if the movie is high enough, it will definitely attract people to invest.

Then there's nothing to say, make a movie.

He doesn't know if other people's movies are good or not, but his own movies are definitely high-quality.

If it is more than 200 million, he doesn't need to look for investment in the second part of "The Grim Reaper", he can shoot it by himself, and the money he earns is all his own.

I believe that if "The Grim Reaper 1" is popular, "The Grim Reaper 2" can be bought without much publicity.

That's the good thing about the series, it's snowballing, getting bigger and bigger.

He invested more than 200 million alone, which is undoubtedly the fastest way to make money.

But now he has understood that pure money is not safe, and the first thing he needs to do now is to develop the theater.

If he's always made movies, he'll always be just a pawn.

But if the theater does well, then he can influence the mainland market and become the one who plays chess.

Who wouldn't want to be in control of their own destiny?

No one doesn't want to.

So Chen Xiao decided to take out 100 million yuan to invest in "Death is Coming 2", and then started to prepare another movie at the same time.

So what to choose?

It must be a big scene, the investment cannot be weaker than "Death", and the plot must be attractive and able to trigger associations.

Although the drive-in theater is unique, it has not caused any waves in the domestic market.

The most important thing is that the time is short and there are few theaters.

So how can this situation be changed?

That's by movies, and if the movies in drive-in theaters are shocking and engaging enough, then theaters will definitely be able to get on the right track.

The most direct is to make the movie yourself, and at the same time, the drive-in theater, as an investor, must have an advertisement at the beginning, if the movie is popular enough, then this movie is the best advertisement.

So this is a big requirement for the film.

Not only to be able to make money, but also to be impressive.

In the end, Chen Xiao still decided to shoot "Resident Evil".

When he first went to Professor Guo's house, he once talked to Guo Le, and at that time he gave Guo Le a general talk about the subject of zombies.

At that time, Guo Le admired Chen Xiao because of the setting of zombies, and called him a genius.

Chen Xiao is of course a genius, although he is only a fake.

However, the setting of zombies is indeed easy to impress, and those who come into contact with it for the first time will definitely be shocked.

Chen Xiao wanted this effect, so he was ready to shoot "Resident Evil".

"The Grim Reaper is Coming" he is ready to invest 100 million, and "Resident Evil" he is also ready to invest 100 million.

Although if he divides one more point, he can make three movies with the same money, which may be more beneficial to the development of theaters.

But he still has to make money himself.

You can't just take out all the movies in one go, and then the money is earned by others, then he has to die at a loss.

Therefore, there is still a balance between the long-term vision and the existing conditions.

About half of the investment in a movie is enough.

If it is less, he may have a heartache when he sleeps.

At the end of the day, that's why he has so little money.

If you have a lot of money, where do you have to give money to others, it's all mine!

After investing 200 million, there are still 20 million left.

What is 20 million enough?

Answer: Enough to make a low-budget movie.

Yes, now that there are movies below 100 million, Chen Xiao is already qualified to be a small-budget movie.

What the?

Million?

What a big deal.

There are many movies with a cost of 20 million, but there is only one movie that impresses Chen Xiao, that is, "Charlotte's Troubles".

Just like the original "The Night the Comet Comed", Chen Xiao feels like a character in the movie, with similar experiences.

"Comet" is about parallel space, and "Charlotte's Troubles" is about rebirth.

Although one is sci-fi and the other is comedy.

At a cost of 20 million, Chen Xiao can still afford it, and he also wants to participate in the filming of a movie as a director.

Although he was also a director of "Comet" before, he really didn't test his level.

You must know that at that time, there was not even a professional camera, and all the shooting was hand-held cameras.

And now "Charlotte's Troubles" is just right.
