After the promotion of four movies in the summer was sent, only Xu Guanwen's "Detective Chocolate" and Lin Zhengying's "Zombie Family" were popular. However, Wu Yusen's "The True Color of Heroes" and Hu Huizhong's "Overlord Flower" were not cared about at all, which made Summer a little puzzled.

If nothing else, let's just say "The True Color of Heroes", just by looking at the script, you know that it will be a good movie, why is no one interested?

I couldn't figure it out, so I had to call the brothers to learn from it.

"Brother Sheng, why didn't you vote for "The True Color of Heroes"? Do you think there is something wrong with this movie?" he asked straight to the point.

"Ah Tian, don't blame me for me, your story is good, but your vision of choosing people is too bad. Xiang Huasheng complained, "It's just a box office poison to choose Zhou Runfa, even Di Long, an out-of-gas movie star, you can use it." The most wrong thing is that you actually chose Wu Yusen as the director. Do you know that he has failed at the box office in several movies in a row!"

"None of these three people can handle it, and you still dare to let me invest, aren't you forcing me to throw my money into the water?" Xiang Huasheng finally said, "I'm not interested in investing in this movie, whoever likes to invest in it." ”

"......" Xia blinked and said with a smile, "Brother Sheng, don't jump to conclusions, I can assure you that this movie will definitely be a blockbuster when it is made." ”

"Forget it, forget it, I don't take advantage of this cheapness. Xiang Huasheng resolutely refused, "If you really want me to make money, you might as well secretly reveal the bids of "Detective Chocolate" and "Zombie Family" to me." He laughed again.

"Then forget it. Summer hurriedly refused.

The red line of crowdfunding dark bidding is that the auctioneer and the bidder cannot accept each other privately, otherwise this model will not be operated for long and the credit will go bankrupt, and who will be willing to bid obediently at that time?!

……

In the summer, I communicated with several film companies, but they were not optimistic about "The True Color of Heroes" and "Overlord Flower".

"The True Color of Heroes" brings together basically all people who memorize words. Wu Yusen has failed at the box office of several movies in a row, Zhou Yanfa has the infamy of box office poison, and Di Long is a star who has long been outdated. Even the only popular singer Zhang Guorong. The starring movie did not have a very high box office either.

Therefore, which film company can be optimistic about the movies made by such a bunch of people who memorize words together?!

"Overlord Flower" is because the actress takes the lead, so that many film companies have little confidence in this drama. Even if this drama is a spin-off of the hit movie "Lucky Star Gaozhao", even if it is starring the popular actress Hu Huizhong, no film company is still optimistic.

"Hmph! Forget it, I'm not optimistic. Then I'll invest it myself. "After persuading the summer, no one bought it, or it was a conditional investment, such as letting the summer exchange the script. And the price they opened was very small, and they wanted to get a box office of one million Hong Kong dollars, which made Summer almost scold on the phone.

After having had enough of the closed doors, Summer decided to invest on her own and stop seeking money from outside.

"But where does the money come from?" said Summer.

Shaw Brothers has not yet settled accounts with him, and overseas channels have not yet been established. The money invested in "Mr. Zombie" has not been recovered for a long time.

Now he counts his own money, and then counts the company's money, a total of about three million,

"Why don't you pledge half of the shares of the Fantasy World Magazine to the bank for a loan?" Xia pondered, and the most valuable thing he was now was the half of the shares of the Fantasy World Magazine.

Fantasy World is now the best-selling literary magazine in Hong Kong, selling around 140,000 copies per issue. Counting the advertising costs, you can earn about 300,000 Hong Kong dollars per issue. That's a profit of 1.2 million a month. Therefore, it is favored by many investors, and the market valuation is now around 30 million Hong Kong dollars.

If you pledge your shares to the bank, you can lend almost 9 million Hong Kong dollars, plus the existing funds, you can barely open two movies at the same time.

"Let's do it!" said as soon as he thought of it, Summer slapped his thigh. "But before I do that, I have to ventilate with Mr. Cha again. ”

After all, the Fantasy World Magazine was founded by him and Jin Yong together, and now he wants to mortgage half of the magazine's shares, so he should say hello to Jin Yong first.

……

Back at the Ming Pao Building, Summer went straight to Kim Yong's office.

"Ah Tian. Do you know that I have good news for you?" said Jin Yong with a smile when he saw him. He knew that Summer had been busy tinkering with his film company lately, and he had heard that there were frequent big moves, as if he was going to make a big move.

Although Jin Yong doesn't want to see the summer distracted for two purposes, to engage in the film and television industry. But judging from the achievements made so far in the summer, he is indeed suitable for development in the film and television industry, so Jin Yong did not persuade the summer again. After all, everyone has everyone's freedom, and he can't force Summer to do what he directs.

"What's the good news, Mr. Cha?" asked Summer, curious, thinking that it would be great if I could solve my current financial crisis.

"Yes, there are several booksellers who want to publish several of the novels featured in "Fantasy World". You also know that it has been serialized for several months now, and there are nearly a million words left, and it is ready for publication. Kim Yong explained.

Summer is a big day, and that's good news. He knew how terrifying the physical book sales of "Notes on Tomb Robbery" in his previous life were. It is said that the author earned tens of millions of yuan just by selling the copyright.

"Great!" Xia nodded happily, "Of course I'm willing to publish the collection, I don't know how much they are willing to pay?"

"There are three options for you to choose from, one is calculated according to the remuneration of 1,000 words, one is calculated according to the royalty remuneration, and the other is a one-time remuneration. Jin Yong introduced.

Summer was stunned. He hadn't published a book before, and he really didn't know what it was, "Mr. Cha, what do these three mean, you can help me explain it carefully." ”

Jin Yong nodded, "The thousand-word manuscript remuneration is to pay you according to the number of words." The price they offer you is 1,000 words, which is the highest price in Hong Kong. Royalty remuneration is the number of prints multiplied by the pricing and then multiplied by the percentage, which is the remuneration given to you. The booksellers set a price of 13 percent for you, which is a very high percentage. A one-time remuneration is a one-time purchase of the copyright of your book by the bookseller. In the future, this book will have nothing to do with you, they can print it however they want. For these five books, the bookseller gave a buyout price of 2 million Hong Kong dollars. ”

Summer nodded, and when he heard Jin Yong's explanation, he understood.

After a little calculation in his heart, he knew that if he was paid for a thousand-word manuscript, the more he wrote, the more he would make money, the more he would sell, the more he would make money, and the more he would sell, the more he would make money, and the one who would make the fastest money among the three in terms of one-time remuneration. It's just that in the future, the copyright of the book will belong to someone else, which makes Summer a little reluctant.

Although these books are all plagiarized by him, he also put a lot of effort into them, even when he was busy filming, he didn't sleep for two days and two nights, and still squeezed out time to review the manuscript. Now he is selling it to others at a fixed price, and he is really a little reluctant.

But after thinking about it again and again, Summer gritted her teeth and chose the third option.

Because the word count of those books is there right now, and each book is no more than a million words. Even at the price of 1,000 words and 1,000 two, it won't sell for much. Unless you write tens of millions of words like "Starting from Scratch", that's the real fortune.

And let him wait for the book sales to be counted before settling, he didn't have that time to waste at all, so among the three options, he could only choose the third option. Although I am reluctant to give up, the situation is like this, and I can only reluctantly make it difficult in summer.

"Mr. Cha, I have decided to choose the third option. Summer said in a deep voice.

"Ah Tian, I think it's more appropriate for you to choose the second one. If you choose the third option, you will suffer a little. Jin Yong reminded him, "Although the book market in Hong Kong is not large, there are also markets in Taiwan and Nanyang." There are more Chinese people in those places, and it is not surprising that a book sells millions of copies. Your book is very popular in Hong Kong, and I think it will be equally popular there. ”

"Yes, Mr. Cha, you're right, it's just that I don't have time now. Xia explained, "You also know that I recently opened a film company, and I am very short of money to make a movie recently, and this 10 million Hong Kong dollars just solves my urgent need." To be honest, if it weren't for the 10 million Hong Kong dollars, I would have wanted to mortgage half of the shares of Fantasy World Magazine to the bank. ”

"That's right. Jin Yong nodded, pondered for a moment and said, "Well, you should choose the second option." I'll lend you the 10 million Hong Kong dollars you urgently need. ”

"Mr. Cha, how embarrassing is this. When Xia heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand.

"Alas, I don't lend you in vain, you just pay me back at the bank interest. Jin Yong said with a smile, "Anyway, my money is now stored in the bank and moldy." Since you need it urgently, use it first. ”

"Well, thank you, Mr. Cha. When Summer heard him say this, he was immediately very moved.

"You're welcome. Jin Yong nodded, "Ah Tian, investing in movies is risky, you have to be cautious." 10 million Hong Kong dollars, not a joke. ”

"I know, thank you Mr. Cha for the reminder. Xia nodded and said, knowing that Jin Yong is a good word, not for his own sake, so people won't open their mouths.

"In fact, the magazine is also promising, Ah Tian. Jin Yong finally persuaded again.

Summer smiled slightly, all along, he had indeed neglected the operation of the magazine. For example, when it comes to the collection and publication of books, in fact, he can already make up for it himself, and he doesn't have to wait for the bookseller to come to his door. If he had arranged this earlier, it is estimated that he would have made enough money by now, and he would not have to borrow money from Jin Yong anymore.

Now that I think about it, I did miss out on a lot of opportunities to make money. (To be continued.) )
