Hearing Wang Zhongjun's words, Zhou Bai's heart moved, now that "Mobile Phone" has not been released, the Wang brothers are already thinking about the filming of the next movie, and this time he wants to make a big one, undoubtedly he has made a lot of determination, and has high expectations for this, so he will want to pull Zhou Bai when there is no news at all.

"Mobile Phone" will definitely not lose, this is a sure thing, even if the movie will not be released until the end of the year, but the marketing of this movie is very good, and the advertising revenue alone has exceeded 10 million, according to Feng Xiaogang's market appeal, there will be no loss of money.

Even if the market is optimistic and decides to invest in the next movie so early, and the Wang brothers want to make a blockbuster, even if the investment in this movie is only tens of millions, the Wang brothers must have enough confidence to make this decision.

Film investment has never been a simple matter, many people just see thieves eating meat but don't see thieves being beaten, according to the current market situation, investing in movies can make a profit, far less than everyone thinks, and the vast majority of film investors lose money.

One is that the film market has not developed and grown, and piracy is a particularly headache, and the other is that after the impact of piracy in recent years, many audiences do not even have the habit of going into the cinema to watch movies, and if domestic films do not work at the box office, 99% of them may lose money.

There are many risks in film investment, such as policy risk, main side cooperation risk, overspending risk, joint investment risk, safety production risk, theme collision risk, distribution risk, piracy risk, copyright risk, media risk, word-of-mouth risk, etc., piracy is just one of them, and other risks may not be impossible to ruin a movie, so that the funds invested by investors will be wasted.

Policy risks do not need to be explained, overspending, distribution, theme collisions, etc. are easy to understand, co-investment is also a risk, in the eyes of many people, many investors share the risk of film failure, but there are two sides to everything, if the opinions of various investors cannot be unified, and there is a violent conflict, it is also very likely to make the film shooting difficult, and the final quality is difficult to guarantee, so as to fail.

"I don't know what type of movie Hua Yi wants to shoot this time? Director Feng has the energy to deal with this aspect of the matter so quickly?" Zhou Bai asked curiously, looking at the confident expressions on the faces of the Wang brothers, this matter should be very likely to have made a preliminary opinion.

"The film filmed this time is adapted according to the same name, and it turns out that the copyright is in the hands of Emei Film Studio, but now you know the situation of state-owned film studios, not to mention a lot of problems, the financial problems they face are fatal enough, the copyright has been obtained, if there is no accident, filming will start early next year. Wang Zhonglei said that the preparation of this movie has only just had an intention, and he is the one who knows the most about it.

Wang Zhongjun looked at his younger brother with satisfaction, this time Wang Zhonglei played a big role in it, including communication with Feng Xiaogang, planning of film projects, etc., it can be said that he has made a lot of contributions, and now he has finally put his mind back to work.

"Now the movie is still in the initial preparation stage, Mr. Wang has booked me to star so early, is he afraid that I will not have a schedule?" Zhou Bai grinned, this Wang brother is really positive enough, there is still a year before filming starts, and now he has booked himself.

"You are now the new Berlin actor, the youngest Berlin actor in history, you can be said to be concerned by the whole circle, if we don't talk to you now, I'm afraid that your schedule will be scheduled for two years later, how popular you are I don't need to say more, if you want the box office to have a box office, you want to have acting skills, and a lot of big directors are waiting to cooperate with you." Wang Zhongjun smiled, and then said seriously, not joking at all.

"Well, thanks to Mr. Wang, I was lucky to get that trophy, to be honest, maybe because I didn't act enough, everyone still has a sense of mystery about me, which makes me very honestly afraid, and it is difficult to invite some dramas to push, I don't know if it's good or bad to win the award, and I may offend the entire industry if I accidentally offend my peers. Zhou Bai said with a wry smile, there has been a lot of pressure recently, the big director looks at you when he asks you to act, and it is really not easy to push it away.

"This is a great thing, how many people want you to be treated like this, and they can't ask for it. You just say if you are willing to cooperate with us, I have long wanted to cooperate with you, Xiaogang also very much hopes that you can play the male lead, you push it away from me, I can only let Xiaogang come to invite you at that time. When Wang Zhonglei heard Zhou Bai's tone, his heart was relieved, it seems that there is a door for this matter.

"It's okay, Mr. Wang's enthusiasm is difficult, if I refuse, I don't know what to do, send me a copy after the script is written, I'll take it if the share capital is okay, I will let the studio reserve a schedule for me at the beginning of next year, so that Mr. Wang is satisfied?" Zhou Bai waved his hand, looking at Wang Zhongjun's half-joking and half-threatening look, if he said anything else, I was afraid that it would cause a rift between him and the Wang brothers.

To put it bluntly, this circle is a sedan chair that carries people, people look up to you for face, and get the big director done early, the first to consider you, if you don't give face, then you really don't understand the world.

"Okay, don't worry, we won't lower the price of your salary, just give it according to your market, and Huayi will find your agent to talk about it, I promise to leave you at least 20% of the investment share of this movie, as for the specific investment, we will communicate when the budget comes out, what do you think?" Wang Zhongjun was very happy, Zhou Bai gave face, and it was rare for him to say a full word, and directly left Zhou Bai with a 20% share.

This 20% investment share is the lowest guarantee, it does not mean that Zhou Bai can only get so much in the end, and the investment negotiations in the middle must be indispensable, Wang Zhongjun promised not to lower the price on the issue of remuneration, and did not talk to Zhou Bai, but said to find his agent, this is professionalism and respect.

"Then I thank Mr. Wang in advance, I hope we can cooperate happily, and the distribution of "My Sassy Girlfriend" will also rely on Huayi's help at that time. Zhou Bai shook hands with Wang Zhongjun and said.

"Definitely, we already have such a good precedent for cooperation, I believe that "No Thieves in the World" will be able to sweep the film market and create a big miracle when the time comes, with your joining, I have more confidence in "No Thieves in the World", you can rest assured, "My Savage Girlfriend" is distributed by China Film Huayi, and there will be absolutely no mistakes. Wang Zhongjun said with a smile on his face.

"Director Feng's next movie is called "No Thieves in the World", it seems that I have to find this one to take a good look at, I hope I can reach the level that Director Feng expects. Zhou Bai nodded and said.
