Chapter 236: Tian Peng's Great Appetite

"Did anyone find it?"

"People haven't come back all night, and the phone can't get through. ”

"I called the police, I said that I earned a billion people and lost it, and the police said that it should be to go to Bundi, let's go to the nightclub to find it. ”

……

"Hello everyone, I'm Wang Duoyu, a late bloomer of the rich second generation......"

At a press conference, Wang Duoyu sat on a "hill" with a megaphone and spoke to the audience.

As the most popular figure in Xihong City recently, Wang Duoyu is very topical, and the reporters in the audience continue to shoot.

He was very decadent, as if he hadn't slept for a long time, and the expression on his face was very painful, and said: "I've been in pain lately, even though I've been spending money desperately every day, squandering day and night, racking my brains to figure out how to lose, but what about my money, it's like having the ability to reproduce, the more I spend, the more I spend, the more I spend, the more I ......."

When he said this, his expression was full of pain, and he looked like he wanted to cry without tears.

This seems to outsiders to be showing off your wealth, but only after you accept this challenge do you realize that it is also a great pain to not be able to spend all your money.

"Click!"

At this time, Wang Xiaobai shouted.

Chu Tiange stopped performing, Wang Xiaobai walked over and said, "Tiange, although you can't understand the pain of not being able to spend all the money like me, I hope you can figure out the hearts of the characters more." You have to remember that Wang Duoyu accepted the challenge that he had to spend a billion in a month, but his subordinates were very lucky. Seeing that the assessment deadline is coming, he is about to miss out on the inheritance of 30 billion, this kind of pain, entanglement, hesitation, and helplessness, you should think more about it......"

He wantonly lowered the drama below, Chu Tiange had a headache when he heard it, you can talk about drama when you talk about drama, why are you still showing off your wealth here?

Aren't you afraid that these group performances will beat you up and you can't take care of yourself?

"Okay, let's take a break and resume shooting in ten minutes. ”

Wang Xiaobai didn't care about this, dropped a sentence, and let Chu Tiange ponder the character's heart, and sat leisurely on the side.

It's already mid-March, and filming has started in November, nearly four months, and the filming of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" is finally coming to an end.

The crew was tortured enough by Wang Xiaobai.

Although after the previous run-in period passed, the filming went a lot smoother, and Wang Xiaobai had a lot of requirements for the next few key shots, which directly slowed down the filming process.

Everyone didn't dare to complain, so they could only follow him over and over again.

In between shooting, Tian Peng came again.

Up to now, "The Great Sage" has been released for more than 45 days, and the box office potential has reached its limit.

Last week's weekly box office still had more than 30 million weekly box office, but three days have passed this week, and the box office is less than 8 million.

The theater chain has notified them that it will have to be taken off the shelves at the end of March.

At this point, "The Great Sage" has already swiped a total box office of 1.51 billion, and it is estimated that when the painting is completed, it will remain between 1.5-1.6 billion, which cannot be higher.

Compared with the total investment of 80 million, this movie is also a mess.

In the sixth week of its release, "Hong Kong Embarrassment" also swiped a box office of 2.23 billion, and the reputation has declined, but Wang Xiaobai doesn't care anymore, and no one plans to make a fourth part.

"Lao Tian, what are you looking for me?"

Wang Xiaobai asked the on-site staff to pour a glass of water for Tian Peng, and he scattered a cigarette himself, saying.

"I've recently got two good scripts, so I wanted to ask my boss how much budget he could give. Tian Peng said.

"Or is it a cartoon?"

Tian Peng nodded and said, "Yes, "The Great Sage" has already heated up the cartoon market, so I want to take the opportunity to add another fire." ”

"Yes, if you can become the first person in domestic animation, it will also be a blessing for the company. Wang Xiaobai is very satisfied with Tian Peng's self-motivation. Spit out a smoke ring, Wang Xiaobai asked: "What are the themes of these two cartoons?"

"They are all traditional mythological stories, one is adapted from Nezha and the other is adapted from the Legend of the White Snake. However, Nezha's script has not yet been created, and it is just a vague idea. Tian Peng said.

"It looks like it's a huge work again. Wang Xiaobai sighed and said, "What about the investment cost, the production team, and the production time, how do you plan it?"

Tian Peng said: "Regarding the production cost, the estimated cost of "White Snake" is 60 million, and the initial estimate of "Nezha" is 80 million, and the production cycle is relatively long. ”

"Tsk, that's a big cost. ”

Wang Xiaobai was speechless, frightened by Tian Peng's appetite.

Not only is the cost high, but the production cycle is long, if you don't insist on it, it may make these two cartoons become a copy of "The Great Sage".

But not necessarily, after all, there is a "Great Sage" in front of the jade, which can give investors a lot of confidence.

"If the company thinks that the investment cost is too big, it can attract investment from other places, and many companies have contacted me at present, and they are still more optimistic about the animation market. Tian Peng also thought about these, so he added on the side. However, the implication is also obvious, if Wang Xiaobai refuses to invest money, he will probably go to someone else.

Although he is a person from the sea of stars, he is relatively independent and can go out to pick up films.

How could Wang Xiaobai see this happening.

Even if it's not for the box office, just to train their special effects production team, this money must be paid.

Wang Xiaobai said: "Forget it about finding someone else, anyway, the company has formulated a billion investment plan this year, and I am still worried about how to spend the money." ”

Tian Peng's eyes lit up, and Wang Xiaobai made a decision directly, saying: "Okay, these two movies, the company has invested in them, and they won't look for anyone else." ”

"Wholly owned by the company?"

Tian Peng gasped, although he knew that Wang Xiaobai would definitely invest in these two movies, he still underestimated Wang Xiaobai's personal courage and wanted to eat them all in one go.

"What?

Wang Xiaobai said with a smile.

"No, no, I just have great admiration for the boss's courage!"

"Don't let go of your rainbow fart!" Wang Xiaobai scolded with a smile and said, "Okay, I'll call Mr. Liu later and explain this matter." You seize the time to gather a team and perfect your script. If there is a shortage of people or equipment, just tell Mr. Liu, she will buy it to ensure that your work will not be delayed. ”

"The first batch of funds will arrive after you have confirmed the project. Later, if the funds exceed the budget, the company will add more. Rest assured, this time you will never be given up like last time. ”

"Thank you to the owner. ”

Getting Wang Xiaobai's promise, Tian Peng was very excited.

When he was first acquired by Wang Xiaobai, he was still very resistant in his heart.

The reason why he accepted to be acquired at a price of 35 million was mainly because he had no money to make trouble.

But now it seems that this decision was very wise.

Wang Xiaobai didn't even read the script, and the two film projects close to 150 million passed so smoothly, and this kind of trust made him feel very warm.

"Okay, I won't tell you, I'll have to continue filming later. ”

Wang Xiaobai said.

"Then I'll go first. ”

Tian Peng left.

Wang Xiaobai was faintly distressed, if it weren't for the overall situation behind, it would be impossible for him to spend so much money to make cartoons, although the profits are also very high.

But he has so many small-budget and big-box office movies in his head, and there is no shortage of this box office.

No way, in an era when audiences are increasingly pursuing visual impact, special effects blockbusters must be done, and only in this way can domestic films go abroad and rush to the world.

……

On March 20, "Mr. Tree" finally met everyone in theaters in China.

This small-budget literary film that has made a name for itself internationally and won international awards has made many literary film lovers look forward to it for a long time.

With the addition of two international awards and Wang Baobao's fame, the premiere box office of "Mr. Tree" was not bad, and the box office on the first day achieved a box office of 21 million, which is relatively high among literary films.

Compared with the production cost of only 1 million, on the day of the release of "Mr. Tree", it earned five or six million for the company, which made Wang Xiaobai very happy.

After the release of "Mr. Tree", Wang Baobao's prophecy came true: although some viewers expressed difficulty in accepting the absurd and magical style of the film, they could unanimously agree that Wang Baobao was indeed reborn. ”

Almost all the viewers who have watched this film are saying that it is difficult to define its temperament and bloodline in just two or three words, magical, neurotic, black, humorous, and rural aliens, can these really summarize Mr. Tree? ”

“……”

The media has a high evaluation, which can be regarded as justifying Wang Baobao's acting skills.

After Wang Baobao won the Russian actor, the domestic audience who had not seen the finished film questioned it, and now this voice suddenly disappeared without a trace.

……

The sea of stars in 2021 is still busy, and even busier than ever.

Before the Chinese New Year, Wang Xiaobai set up many projects.

"Iron Fist of Shame" starring Wang Baobao and Liu Yiqian, with a total investment of 65 million. Among them, Wang Baobao's salary accounted for 15 million, and the international actor automatically increased his salary by 5 million, and "Hong Kong Embarrassment" increased his salary by 5 million.

Jointly invested by Xingchen Haihai, Yunhai Entertainment, and Beijing Film Studio, Xingchen Dahai paid 15 million, and the remaining investment was shared equally between the two companies, and the box office share ratio was: 5:2.5:2.5, which is still the majority of Xingchen Haihai.

There is no way, the sea of stars accounts for the majority of the box office, which is the keynote of all cooperation.

"Longing" will start recording the second season at the end of March, and in May and June, "Chicken Strips" will also record the second season, and Chu Tiange's itinerary is very full.

Before the recording of "Longing", Wang Xiaobai had to fly to the capital to set a tone for "Star Detective".

This time, the partner of "Ming Detective" is not CCTV, nor Pomodoro Channel, but the toilet table.

The cooperative TV station of "Running Man" is Zhejiang TV, which is also the king of TV stations.

The main reason for doing this is that Wang Xiaobai learned the lesson of CCTV last time and decided not to put his eggs in one basket.

The four TV stations were very embarrassed by this, but they also quietly discussed it, trying not to overlap when broadcasting, so as to maximize the benefits.

When Wang Xiaobai went to CCTV, the crew of "Jiangcheng Fortress", which had not moved, began to behave again, which intensified the contradictions between the two sides again.
