After hearing Zhou Xingxing's description, Wang Ye's first thought was "Journey to the West", and in his memory, the box office of this film broke more than 30 box office records.

Invest, must invest.

"Ahem...... Wang Ye coughed twice, pretending to be very calm and asked, "Director Zhou, I don't know when your movie will start filming?"

Director Zhou said: "Mr. Wang rest assured, there will definitely be plenty of time, and he is still preparing to see if filming can start at the end of the year." ”

"Is there any investment in the film?"

"Investment?" Zhou Xingxing didn't know why Wang Ye suddenly asked about investment, so he cast an inquiring look at his eldest brother.

The eldest brother glanced at Wang Ye and asked Wang Ye, "Do you want to invest?"

Wang Ye nodded without hesitation.

The eldest brother said: "Do you think people like me and Lao Zhou will be like people who lack investment? As long as we release the news that we want to make a movie, those film companies will not come to us with money." ”

Wang Ye smiled bitterly, what the eldest brother said was right, there is absolutely no shortage of investment in these two in front of him.

"I asked you to invest at the beginning, it was because I took a fancy to the cinema chain in your hand, and I didn't want you to invest much, I just wanted you to be interesting. The eldest brother was very honest and continued: "But I didn't expect you to open your mouth and vote for them all, you know how many people I offended and how much I lost for this, right?"

Wang Ye folded his hands and said to his eldest brother: "Big brother, I admit your love, this time your movie is released, all the theaters in my cinema line guarantee full support, I also have a relationship with Wanda, I will greet them."

And as long as you want to make movies in the future, just say, I fully support it, whether it is money or resources. ”

The eldest brother glanced at Wang Ye and said, "It's pretty much the same, I didn't misunderstand you." ”

After speaking, he turned his gaze to Zhou Xingxing and asked, "Old Zhou, what do you think, do you want to invest in your new movie yourself, or do you want to find another company to share the risk?"

Zhou Xingxing said: "The budget of this movie is about 120 million. ”

Wang Ye didn't think about it and said: "No problem, even if I vote all, there is no problem, and there are special effects, I will draw out elite soldiers to ensure that I do my best, and the price can also be discounted." ”

Zhou Xingxing hesitated, "Mr. Wang, I came today just to talk about special effects, not investment." ”

He is not familiar with Wang Ye, and in the case of no shortage of investment, he doesn't want to bring a stranger in, for fear of trouble.

It's not good beforehand, but are there fewer cases of going to court afterwards because of box office sharing?

Although he wanted to find another company to share the risk, he was also looking for the kind of company that had previous cooperation experience, and as for the company he cooperated with for the first time, to be honest, he was resistant in his heart.

Wang Ye seemed a little anxious, so he had to ask his eldest brother for help.

The eldest brother sighed in his heart, what is this.

"Old Zhou, Xiao Wang...... The person is not bad, I can guarantee this, and his company's strength in the mainland is not bad, and the distribution ability is absolutely top-notch, the key is that this kid still has a theater chain in his hand, which is definitely helpful to the box office. ”

"Yes, yes, Director Zhou, you have to believe in the strength of our company, absolutely no problem, if you can cooperate happily this time, there will be more cooperation in the future. ”

Zhou Xingxing said: "Mr. Wang, do I want to visit your special effects studio tomorrow?"

"No problem, I'll arrange it. Wang Ye nodded.

Ay......

Wang Ye sighed.

Zhou Xingxing is Zhou Xingxing, it's really not easy to invest in his films, but this investment must be won, even if the investment ratio is not high, with the first time, then the cooperation in the future can be easier to talk about.

This is not a one-shot deal, but a long-term view.

actually made an appointment to talk with the company tomorrow, Wang Ye didn't stay long, and then left, as for the activities, it was impossible, everyone is not an unknown person, and a woman can be used whenever you need it, and it is safer and cleaner, but the technical aspect is a little worse.

After Wang Ye left, Zhou Xingxing asked: "Big brother, why did you let Wang Ye invest alone? It's really just that he has a cinema chain, as far as I know, it seems that Wanda's cinema chain is bigger than his cinema chain, right?"

The eldest brother hesitated for a moment, smiled and said: "Lao Zhou, today my brother will tell you the truth, I have to say that the mainland is already the largest ticket warehouse in Asia, and even on a global scale, in addition to North America, it is also the mainland."

You look at these years, those movies in North America are scrambling to come to China to be released, and even in order to please the Chinese audience, many movies have Oriental faces, and even the plot has to have something to do with Huaxia.

Why are they like this, it is not the current consumption power of Huaxia, and we, as an inseparable part of Huaxia, naturally have a unique advantage.

Therefore, it is better to have a good relationship with companies in the mainland than later.

The reason why I chose Wang Ye......

I was also introduced to me by Fa Ge, Fa Ge and Wang Ye worked together once, and he spoke highly of Wang Ye, I heard that the relationship between this kid and the senior management is not ordinary, do you know what I mean?"

It is rumored that Zhou Xingxing is an extremely conceited person, especially for a period of time, he was praised by the media for a little inflated, coupled with personality problems, and had conflicts with many people, and even the former golden partner was dismantled.

The eldest brother was afraid that Zhou Xingxing would not understand, so he reminded him.

"If you want to develop in the mainland, you must have a good relationship with the upper echelons, so I will cooperate with Wang Ye. ”

"Big brother, I'm not a teenager who doesn't know anything. Zhou Xingxing said: "It's just ...... Why did you choose Wang Ye, he can only be regarded as a rising star, why not choose those old companies?

I heard that you have a good relationship with Feng Gang, and the brother media behind Feng Gang should be a better choice, right?"

The eldest brother asked, "Do you want to cooperate with Brother Media?"

Zhou Xingxing nodded and said, "I have had such a plan, but I haven't contacted it yet." ”

The eldest brother nodded and pondered for a while: "Mine is just a suggestion, and it is you who make the final decision, but I think Wang Ye will be better than Brother Media."

When we make films, we are afraid that investors will point fingers and affect the quality of the work, and this cooperation between me and Wang Ye, in addition to sending an accountant, even the producer is just a nominal person. ”

Zhou Xingxing's eyes lit up when he heard this, and asked, "Really?"

The eldest brother smiled: "Don't you think it's incredible?"

Zhou Xingxing nodded, he really felt a little incredible, now these investors are always trying to meddle in the specific affairs of the film, dismantling the producers, demolishing the actors or something.

Even a figure like him, who has become a god in the film industry, is no exception.

The eldest brother smiled: "That's why I like this kid, it's better to say that he's a filmmaker, it's better to say that he's a businessman, he just wants to make money."

Don't be suspicious, don't be suspicious, plus the relationship behind it, I think this is the reason why this kid has developed so fast. ”

The two chatted until late before leaving, Wang Ye didn't know that after he left, the two talked so much, but these were not what he wanted to care about.

What he was thinking about now was how to get Zhou Xingxing to agree to let him invest.

When I got home, I couldn't sleep in bed for a long time, and after lying for nearly half an hour, I got up and called Chen Fang again, explaining some of the work of receiving Zhou Xingxing tomorrow.
