Chapter 39: Breaking the Boat
Looking at Wu Huai's eyes, what Xu Ke wanted to say before was finally blocked in his throat and never said it again.
Xu Ke didn't expect that he was not moved by Wu Huai's words, but he was persuaded by his expression and eyes.
She knew in her heart that Wu Huai at this time no longer needed persuasion or questioning, only support and affirmation.
After a long time, Xu Ke sighed and asked softly, "How much do you want to vote?"
This sentence represents Xu Ke's compromise and determination to accompany him on the adventure.
"Seventy million!" Wu Huai replied in a deep voice.
Wu Huai estimated this amount in his heart.
In the previous life, the investment amount announced by "Langya Bang" in the publicity was 120 million.
Among them, the starring actor's salary is more than 20 million, and the copyright fee is also as high as millions, which can now save a lot.
In addition, the salary and expenses at this time did not reach the level of the previous filming, and an investment of 70 million can ensure that it can reach the level of the original drama.
But even if it was 70 million, it still scared Xu Ke.
For now, investing 30 million is a big production, and very few TV dramas will invest more than 50 million!
But the cost of Wu Huai's first investment in the TV series is as high as 70 million, which is not only ambitious, but has the courage of a snake and a python to swallow an elephant!
"It's a huge investment, and the difficulty of recovering our costs increases exponentially. Xu Ke took a deep breath and persuaded: "And we can't come up with so much money!"
"How much money does the studio have now?" Wu Huai asked unhurriedly.
"To ensure the normal operation of the studio, we can only come up with 18 million at most, this gap is still too big!" Xu Ke frowned and said.
"If you take out a loan on my villa...... How much can I borrow?" Wu Huai had a plan in his heart and continued to ask.
"You're crazy......" Xu Ke felt anxious, "If you lose it, you won't even have a place to live!"
"Just tell me how much you can lend!" Wu Huai held Xu Ke's hand, looked into her eyes, and said without doubt.
Xu Ke gritted his teeth, and finally compromised: "Eight million...... The market value of your villa is around 14 million, and we can only borrow 8 million at most!"
"I still have more than a million on me, nine million plus eighteen million, that's twenty-seven million...... Counting the copyright fee of Langya Bang and my salary, let's count it as 30 million!" Wu Huai groaned.
There are still five million ...... It takes at least 35 million for him to be able to get the initiative in this show!
This is the premise of everything that works...... It is impossible for him to give up the initiative to anyone.
"Ah Huai, it's really not good, let's reduce the investment, 30 million is enough!" Looking at Wu Huai's frowning brows, Xu Ke comforted softly.
He even pressed his own house down...... It's already going to be ruined!
"No, to ensure the quality of this drama, the investment must be in place!" Wu Huai shook his head firmly, if the quality of the drama declines because of investment problems, it will be worth the loss!
But how to take the five million...... Wu Huai's eyes were deep, and he was planning in his heart.
He didn't know anything about his family at this time, and he hadn't been in contact with his family for nearly two months, and they hadn't looked for him either.
Whether the family can come up with this money or not is not for the time being, he is not easy to open this mouth!
If you can't do it, you can sell the villa! That's 36 million...... Enough is enough!
Wu Huai was ruthlessly determined, and a soft but firm voice came from his ears.
"I can come up with up to six million ......"
Wu Huai suddenly turned his head to look at Xu Ke, his heart was full of shock and emotion.
He knew the success of the original show, so he dared to make such a bet with trepidation.
But what about Xu Ke...... She was obviously against her big gamble, but she still took out the six million that she might have saved up, just because she trusted herself and supported herself......
"That's my sister's entire dowry...... You have to work hard!" Xu Ke said nonchalantly, but Wu Huai knew how much trust and support she needed to make such a difficult decision.
"If I lose me, I will raise you later!" Wu Huai couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged Xu Ke and said softly.
Xu Ke's body stiffened, her neck and ears were red with shame, she broke free from Wu Huai's embrace, punched him in the chest and scolded with a smile: "Who wants you to raise it, you have to listen to me after you lose it, and work for me!"
"One meaning, one meaning. Wu Huai touched his head and said with a smile.
Counting Xu Ke's six million...... It's already more than fifty percent, and that's enough!
"But there are still thirty-four million left, how are you going to raise it?" Xu Ke relieved himself and asked softly.
Xu Ke was not a hesitant person, but now that she had made up her mind, she no longer hesitated and began to think about more realistic issues.
"I can only raise money...... Wu Huai said softly.
Xu Ke wanted to speak and stopped, with their production ability and reputation, it is obviously not an easy thing to attract investment, and it is still a huge investment of 34 million!
It's just that she didn't want to hit Wu Huai's self-confidence at this time, so she sighed for a moment and bit it and said, "Then this is the matter of pulling investment...... Just let me do it!"
Xu Ke thought in his heart that in order to achieve Wu Huai's dream, even if he was wronged, he had to do this thing well, as long as he touched her bottom line!
"Don't ......be in a hurry," Wu Huai shook his head with a smile, "If we go to an investor or director like this, the possibility of success is too small, and we still need to carry out a series of operations!"
Wu Huai is not a hairy boy, he has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, he knows the difficulty of this matter better than Xu Ke.
In terms of financing, the water itself is deep, they have no qualifications, no works, and they want people to invest tens of millions, which is simply a fool's dream!
"Then what should I do?" Xu Ke thought that Wu Huai only had this determination, but he didn't think that he had already considered it all.
"Our type currently has no political ~ policy support, and it is very difficult to get money, fortunately, the story of "Langya Bang" is not bad, I need to make "Langya Bang" popular first......" Wu Huai said after a moment of silence.
This is the operation of the IP value that is very popular a few years later, as long as enough people pay attention to "Langya Bang", it can bring huge commercial benefit value to this novel.
Xu Ke's eyes lit up, and he asked eagerly, "Did you publish this novel first...... This is indeed a good idea, as long as it can be a bestseller, it is indeed a good bargaining chip in negotiations. ”
Wu Huai shook his head and said: "It's too troublesome to operate and publish, and now in the Internet era, why bother to go far?"
"Do you want to post it on the Internet?" Xu Ke asked with wide eyes, so far there has been no case of such an operation in the circle!
"To be precise, it should be posted on my scarf!
An actor publishes a novel he has written...... This should be a good gimmick, right?
In the Internet era, the pursuit is always novelty and uniqueness.
We need to create a hot spot, and netizens will flock to it.
Plus, we've been in our web PR group for over a month, so it's time for them to test the waters!
As long as we put this novel into operation, we can do more with less!"
Wu Huai is well versed in the way of hype, and if he wants to succeed, some small means are inevitable.
Xu Ke looked at Wu Huai in shock, and only muttered to himself after a long time.
"I should have asked you to give a lesson to the network group...... Is there anything else you won't do?"
