Chapter 72 "People in Embarrassment" project project
On September 25, a plane landed smoothly at Jiangcheng Airport.
Wang Xiaobai and Murong Bing, evaded many fans and media reporters waiting at the exit, and secretly returned to Jiangcheng.
At first glance, I thought it was the death of the ancient emperor, and I didn't mourn it.
There is no way, Wang Xiaobai's limelight at the Golden Melody Awards this time is too big, even if he brushes six trophies, the song "Beat it" has once again attracted countless fans, and the popularity of Weibo has not come down in the past few days, ranking first on the list, I don't know how many people are red-eyed.
The number of fans has risen from more than 3 million to 5 million.
Many people may not have paid attention to his tweets, but his songs and his performances have been watched by no one anymore.
Murong Yanliang drove a low-key Maybach to pick up the two.
In the car, Murong Yanliang wanted to speak several times, but stopped several times, and his eyes always looked through the rearview mirror above to observe Wang Xiaobai, who was closing his eyes and recuperating.
Murong Bing and Murong Yanliang grew up together, so they know his character very well, and they also know what he is scratching his heart for now.
Then, she took out a thick pile of documents from her bag and put them next to the co-pilot, with four big characters written on the cover - "People in Embarrassment".
"This is for me?" Murong Yanliang's voice was full of excitement.
Murong Yanliang's eyelids jumped, damn, is it finally my turn to pretend to be forced?
He hasn't read the script yet, but he is convinced of Wang Xiaobai's strength, and the script that can be used by Wang Xiaobai to talk about things must not be a bad script.
It's a pity that he was driving and couldn't get a glimpse.
Murong Bing said with a smile: "Yes, in fact, before going to the Golden Melody Awards, Xiaobai said that this movie will be led by you, and as for the investment, it will be jointly borne by the three companies." It depends on how much investment you need. ”
"I ...... I need five million, no, three million investment is enough!" Murong Yanliang wanted to invest more, but after thinking about it, Wang Xiaobai's total investment in filming "Those Years" was only more than three million (after the box office of the movie was shared, Wang Xiaobai made up one million to Lu Jiayi as a salary, which must also be included in the cost), he can't surpass the boss, be careful that his career is not guaranteed.
As for the box office, he doesn't ask for much, he can be satisfied with 100 million.
You have to avoid it, be careful of the high merit and shock the master.
"Will it be too little?" Murong Bing frowned and asked.
"Three million is not good. At this time, Wang Xiaobai suddenly opened his eyes and said: "Lao Mu is from a serious academic background, with rich resumes and stronger abilities than me, if "People in Embarrassment" invests three million, it will be slapping Lao Mu in the face, I resolutely disagree!"
Murong Yanliang was moved, or the boss knows that he feels sorry for people, and I am still a villain in the belly of a gentleman, I am so ashamed.
"How much do you think is appropriate? If it's too high, you might lose money. Murong Bing said cautiously.
Wang Xiaobai raised a finger and said magnificently: "I'll give you this number!"
"10 million? That's too high, no, with my current qualifications, it's not enough to make a good movie with an investment of 10 million. It's not as good as five hundred ......" Murong Yanliang was overwhelmed with emotion.
Wang Xiaobai shook his head and said, "No, 10 million is also an insult to Lao Mu. ”
"That's?"
"A million. Wang Xiaobai's face was not red and he was not panting.
Murong Yanliang was like eating a dead fly, and he couldn't spit out a sentence of MMP in his throat! Bastard, you said a million earlier, I still slapped so many sycophants!
Wang Xiaobai's expression didn't seem to be joking at all, and said: "Lao Mu, I was born in a wild way, and at the beginning of filming, I didn't even know how to turn on and off, so I dared to pull up a crew with an investment of 2 million." And you Lao Mu is a graduate of a serious college, with strong strength and a solid theoretical foundation, if I give you 10 million to make a small-budget movie, don't you think I am insulting you in disguise?"
After saying this, Murong Yanliang's face was red, and his head was lowered.
Xiaobai is right, when he was just starting out, he dared to take 2 million to make a movie, he has been in the film market for so many years, and all kinds of doorways in it are very clear, will it be worse than Wang Xiaobai, who doesn't know anything?
Even if this movie can't reach Wang Xiaobai's height, as long as it can reach several times the profit rate, it is enough to prove my strength.
What I need now is a chance to prove myself?
He nodded seriously and said, "I know, I will definitely make good use of this investment and use all the money to the best of my ability." ”
Wang Xiaobai is very satisfied, he is still a fool.
Damn, although the "People in Embarrassment" series of movies is popular, his first film has been criticized for word-of-mouth and box office, and there are obvious loopholes and poisonous points in the plot. The box office is also a bit miserable, it seems that it is less than 40 million, which is very different from the box office of nearly 1.3 billion in the second part.
However, in the original time and space, the investment in "People in Embarrassment" was not much, only more than 7 million, compared to the box office of 40 million, this movie can be regarded as earning 10 million or 20 million.
But in terms of potential, it is far inferior to "Those Years".
Therefore, with Wang Xiaobai's character, it is already a lot to be willing to give one million.
"But if it's a million, you can't afford to hire a heroine. Murong Bing said worriedly.
"There is no heroine in this play, and there are only a few cameo supporting actresses, just give a thousand yuan to the film academy to find some female students to act. He said indifferently that for him, it was already sky-high to find a girl to play an unimportant role for a thousand yuan.
Murong Yanliang said weakly: "I'm afraid it won't work...... Although these students have not yet graduated, even if they receive a print advertisement, there are more than a thousand pieces. ”
After Wang Xiaobai heard this, his face became a little serious, and said: "Lao Mu, from today on, you are the director of "People in Embarrassment", so these are all considerations for whether you are a qualified director, and they are things you need to consider, not me, an investor!" ”
Murong Yanliang's face turned red suddenly, and he was ashamed.
For Wang Xiaobai's feelings, he couldn't find a trace of fault, he only felt that he was too weak compared to Wang Xiaobai.
He clenched his fists and said, "Okay, I'll try." ”
He nodded lightly, very relieved about Lao Mu's IQ.
If there are more employees in the company, it won't be long before I can earn another 100 million.
Good guy.
Murong Yanliang drove the car and came to a building.
The reason why Wang Xiaobai came here is because the company has already opened.
Murong Bing's original plan was to re-lease the office building and redecorate, but who knew that it would be delayed.
She is a person who pays attention to efficiency, so she made a decision and directly rented a 500-square-meter office from Yunhai Entertainment, and even the office equipment is ready-made, as long as the employee takes office.
By the time they went to the Golden Melody Awards, the staff had already arrived.
At present, there are six departments in total, namely the director department, the artist department, the agent department, the finance department, the human resources department, the legal department, and a security department under the human resources department.
What is more embarrassing is that the company is grass-based, and most departments only have one or two people, and the broker department only has a brand, and there are no people.
On the way, Murong Bing had already reported this matter to him, saying that it was a report, but in fact, it was a notice at all, and Wang Xiaobai's only role for the company at present was a walking stamping machine.
When he came to the floor where the company was located, looking at the "Xingchen Sea Entertainment" written on the front desk, Wang Xiaobai had the urge to laugh out loud.
I, Wang Xiaobai, have a company!
But in the next second, he was a little unhappy, pointed to the front desk with his back to him, and said, "What is the situation? ”
Wang Xiaobai is very dissatisfied with the front desk, the front desk of other people's houses has long legs, a small waist, and a demon face over Su Daji, which gives people a great desire to go to work at a glance. As a result, it's my company's turn, and a big man pokes there and bends down and bows to himself, and I won't come to the company in the future?
"Xiaobai, this is our newly recruited security guard, called Wang ...... What are you calling Wang?" Murong Yanliang asked the security guard with his back to them.
"Report ...... Report to the boss, I, my name is Wang Baobao!" The man turned around, so nervous that he couldn't speak clearly.
