Chapter 63: The Money-Making Plan

"Great director, where is it? Come out, this girl is invited to watch a movie. ”

Universal Studios Concourse E is playing the hottest movie of the moment - "Single Southern Girl", couples sit together in pairs, they bump heads from time to time, hold hands, kiss mouths, and the dark hall has a romantic feeling.

"No, it's a feeling of paralysis," Li Xiuping complained speechlessly.

Da Mi Mi contacted Li Xiuping for the first time in two months, Li Xiuping thought that the two would have a lot of things to discuss, but he never thought that Da Mi Mi would say hello when he saw him, and then led him into the theater, and finally fell asleep by his shoulder.

Da Mi Mi slept for two hours, and Li Xiuping sat stiff for two hours, his arms numb. Fortunately, Da Mi Mi only planned to sleep once, and when the movie was over, she woke up.

Next to the cinema is a children's playground with rows of benches and a parental lounge for parents who send their children to the children's playground. Li Xiuping and Da Mi Mi didn't have much to do, so the two bought a glass of Coke and sat down on the bench in the parents' rest area.

Li Xiuping looked at Da Mi Mi and said with a smile: "Happy New Year." ”

"You're the same. ”

"How about it, my prediction is accurate, you are really popular, you are now the hottest little flower in China. ”

"Hmph, that's because my strength is outstanding, God appreciates food. ”

"Okay, you're right, you've been tired lately?"

"Yes, I have filmed more than a dozen commercials this month, and I don't know if there are hundreds of program interviews, anyway, I don't know what I said, I'm tired, I can take a break this afternoon, and I'll be busy with dogs tomorrow. ”

"Don't work too hard, your body matters. ”

"I know, uncle," Da Mi Mi rolled his eyes, and then said with a smile: "I have earned nearly 30 million this month, and I will be considered a rich man from now on." ”

"Congratulations. ”

"What TV series should I do next? or make a movie?"

"Movie?" Li Xiuping thought for a while, "Is there a movie looking for you now?"

"Of course, there are many parts, but there are only two heroines, and the others are supporting roles. ”

"Tell me more about it?"

"The heroine has "Far Island Marriage", which is a horror film, and our company specially tailored it for me, but I don't look reliable, I don't know who the director is, and the actor has not yet been decided. There is also "The Great Fog", which is also our company, it is a martial arts film, and the actor has not yet been decided, but they said that they would invite an action actor to play it, and I am quite looking forward to it. There are a lot of supporting roles, like "Born a Bunch", "Painted Skin 5", "Running Out of the Sky", "Eight Stars Hug Joy", hey! Li Xiuping, talk to you, don't laugh, I'm serious. ”

Li Xiuping heard Da Mi Mi say those bad movies, and he really couldn't help but want to laugh, Da Mi Mi Mi, as a popular little flower, the movie resources are really abusive. "Far Island Horror Marriage is definitely a big bad movie, our country's horror films can't have ghosts and ghosts, they can't be too bloody, and the ending must be harmonious and upward, is the horror film still a horror movie? "The Great Fog" should be a mediocre work without splashes, because with your company's slashing personality, will you find a good script, a good director, and a good actor? Martial arts films are absolutely not good without investment, and special effects have to cost money. ”

"I knew you would say that," Da Mi Mi snorted softly, "What about those movies with supporting roles?"

"Unless it's a big director or a supporting role in a big-budget movie, other messy movies, I don't think acting will help you, the ones you said, "Painted Skin 5" I know, Zhou Gongzi and Zhao Yanzi's double main role, as well as Chen Kun, this movie can be played, and the others will be pushed. ”

"Do you know that this will offend people? I have pushed it now, and no one will invite me in the future. ”

"As long as you continue to be popular, someone will naturally invite you. ”

"You said it easily, I have only become popular in a drama after filming for so many years, and the fairy sword was so popular before, but I was scolded by netizens, can I still encounter a popular drama in the future?"

"With me watching it for you, you'll definitely be popular. ”

Da Mi Mi shook his head disappreciatively, "Cut, it's nice to say, I'm not popular anymore, will you still pay attention to me?"

"It seems that when we first met, you weren't popular. ”

"Don't talk about this, get down to business, what movie do you think I should act?"

"You just play a "Painted Skin 5", and the rest will be pushed, and there will be a medium-production heroine in the future, or a large-scale production female supporting actress to be considered. ”

"Then if I don't act in movies, what am I doing?"

"Shoot a TV series, otherwise?"

"I'm so popular, and I'm still making TV series, can't I just go straight to the movie road?"

"Do you think you are Zhang Ziyi or Gong Li, can you guarantee that you will always have good movie resources?"

"Ah!" Da Mi Mi wailed, "Why am I so bitter, I still think it's hot?

Li Xiuping smiled and didn't answer, Da Mi Mi saw Li Xiuping laughing, and couldn't help but want to taunt Li Xiuping, so he said: "Hey, didn't you say you were looking for a girlfriend before? Bring it out and show me." ”

"I didn't find it," Li Xiuping smiled gloomily.

"Hahaha, do you see that you are too ugly, so I avoid you?"

"I don't know. ”

"Cut, the big man still looks like a little daughter-in-law," Da Mi Mi waved his hand, "Don't talk about this, tell me your plans, there are plans for this year." ”

"I'm going to make a movie. ”

"Movie, you're all right, you're going to make a movie? Do you know that seven out of ten movies are at a loss? Do you think your movie can make money?"

"How do you know you can't make money?"

"How do you know you can make money?" Da Mi Mi took a sip of Coke, and then said, "What kind of subject?"

"Youth films. ”

"Who's investing?"

"Myself. ”

"Poof...... cough cough cough!" Da Mi Mi squirted out a mouthful of Coke, and then coughed for a while, she looked at Li Xiuping like a neuropath, "I thought you found an investment and wanted to have fun? I didn't expect it to be your own investment, you are crazy, how to say a movie will cost tens of millions, I have earned more than 10 million yuan after working hard for so many years before I became popular, you don't want that money, give it to me, I want it." ”

Li Xiuping smiled, "My own money, how can I play casually, so I take this movie seriously, I believe it will not be a loss." ”

"It's better to say than to sing, you don't want to invest in me, tell you that there is no door, I have only recently made some money, and I have to work hard to become a billionaire as soon as possible." ”

"You're thinking too much, I'm just telling you what you really think. ”

Da Mi Mi rolled his eyes and looked at Li Xiuping, "Hey, what are you talking about in this youth film?"

"The theme is growth.,It's a story that happens on a college campus.,The male and female protagonists are both students of the University of Medicine.,The female protagonist has hemophobia since childhood.,The male protagonist has been the fate of his family since he was a child.,They all have defects in their personalities.,After a series of events,Grow up and be independent.。 ”

"It's a very ordinary story, how can you make money?"

"Titanic tells the story of a poor boy and a down-and-out rich girl, it sounds ordinary, how interesting can the story outline be? All movies can be summed up in a few sentences. ”

"Oh, that'...... Have you chosen the heroine?"

"What, do you want to act?" Li Xiuping laughed.

"Any questions?"

"You...... It's too old, my heroine has to play from her freshman year, that is, she looks like she is eighteen or nineteen years old, and you don't have a girly feeling. ”

"I don't, you're blind, my legs are so thin, my waist is thin, my skin is white, why don't I feel girlish?" Da Mi Mi suddenly jumped up, turned around, and said angrily.

Da Mi Mi later gave birth to a daughter after marriage and still hyped the girl mother, she is still very confident in her appearance.

Li Xiuping laughed, "Eldest sister, girlishness does not refer to the figure, it refers to the eyes, which are simple and clear." You're 25 years old, your eyes are full of money, fame, and desire, where do you have any girlish feeling?"

"Die, old man. Da Mi was so angry that he turned around and was about to leave.

Li Xiuping hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, "Tell you a serious matter, a money-making business." ”

"You won't lie to me, will you? If you have money, why are you still looking for me?"

"Look at what you said, I don't have many friends in the entertainment industry, so I have a better relationship with Yi Feng, Wang Longzheng and you, and Yi Feng and Wang Longzheng don't have your ability, I need your help, so I naturally look for you. ”

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"My new movie uses a rookie actress, she will definitely be popular, let's open an entertainment company together and sign her. ”

"It's okay, but it's ...... As far as whether the two of us have fewer resources, I have long wanted to do it alone, but we have to have resources, so as to attract talents. ”

"You have it with you in terms of film and television resources, you are so popular now, it's no problem to bring a few newcomers, our entertainment company really makes money by relying on another project. ”

"What project?"

"Variety show, create a variety show that is popular all over China?"

"Like it's almost the base camp?"

"Yes, but it's hotter than the base camp faster. ”

"You...... It's been a few years since the base camp, and you still want to be more popular than it, bragging, right?"

"It's definitely faster than the base camp, my ability to watch dramas is first-class, and watching variety shows is also first-class, how about it, do you want to gamble?"

"Tell me what kind of variety show?"

"Have you ever heard of Bangbangguo's "Running man"? Outdoor games, six men and one woman are resident program hosts, these seven people are all stars, and they invite celebrity guests to be funny while making games. ”

"I haven't heard of it, but I already have it, don't you want royalties?"

In Li Xiuping's previous life, the copyright fee of the mainland TV station to buy Bangbang National Running Man was hundreds of millions of yuan in one phase, and the production cost was even more billion, but the TV station still made countless profits, and this variety show definitely attracted more money.

"Yes, this show was only broadcast last year in Bangbang Country, and it is not very popular now, it is a good opportunity for us to start, we can buy out the exclusive copyright of this show in China for ten years at one time, I estimate that it is about 100 million, and the production cost of Bangbang Country variety shows is very low, not even 100 million. ”

"100 million? That's a lot. ”

"I'll pay 50 million, and you can pay 50 million and you'll be done. ”

"It's easy to say, I only made some money this year, I still have a bunch of people around me to feed, I still have to buy clothes and news, I have more places to spend money. ”

"There is money to earn together, I see that you are my good friend to share it with you, don't miss it. ”

"Cut, woe to carry together. ”

Li Xiuping smiled and didn't speak.

Da Mi Mi continued: "Aren't you going to make a movie?

"My films are youth films, there are no big scenes, the production cycle is short, and I have time. ”

"I remember that you didn't have an attitude of indifference to money before, how have you changed now?"

"I want to make a movie, how can I do it without money, and if I have money, I have the capital to start again. ”

Li Xiuping originally felt that the money he made was enough, but he was budgeting for movies these days and found that this youth film would cost about 30 million, which means that half of his net worth is enough now, if the movie hits the street, it will be more difficult for him to find investment in the future, and he will have to pay out of his own pocket to make a new drama, and he will really have to worry about money at that time. Li Xiuping thought about it for a while, and thought of doing variety shows to make money, as far as he knows, the naming fee for one season of "The Voice of China" is more than 2 billion yuan, which is simply not too profitable, not to mention that there are variety shows such as where is the masked singer Baba, the voice of the running man's dream, he only needs to make it in advance, and he will definitely make money.

"Such a good thing, why are you looking for me, don't tell me it's because of a friend?" Da Mi Mi still doesn't believe that pie will fall from the sky, "Have you been dumped by other women and have thoughts about me?"

Li Xiuping shook his head, "No, I asked you to help manage it, I want to make a movie myself, and then, only you have some connections among the friends I know, and you need these to do variety shows." ”

"What else?"

"I still have money, I don't have enough money now, it's better to find someone else to raise money. ”

"I think about it. ”

"Three days, you give me an answer in three days at the latest, and if you don't agree, I'll find someone else. ”

"Cut, got it. “
