The day after seeing Yun Qingxia, Yang Yu and Fang Junning had just confirmed the art director of "Dragon Gate Inn", when they received a call from Assistant Lin of Star Media, saying that Xu Fengzhu, the general manager of Star Media Group, asked him to go over now.

He drove to the headquarters of Star Media in a hurry, and as soon as he entered the door, he came to Xu Fengzhu's office under the leadership of Assistant Lin.

Although it was the first time he had seen this famous iron lady in the industry, he had already heard the other party's name, a woman, who had turned a second-tier entertainment company into a giant in the industry in less than ten years, and few men could do it.

As soon as he entered the office, the first time he saw Xu Fengzhu, he felt an unusually powerful aura from this strong woman.

By his side, Jin Yanqiu and Ren Qing also have the temperament of strong women, but they are far inferior to Xu Fengzhu in front of them.

Xu Fengzhu is not a beauty, but where she sits, I don't know why, but there is a feeling that people can't ignore, not the attraction of women to men, but the difference in temperament.

Xu Fengzhu spoke and did things very directly, and did not mean to greet Yang Yu at all, and asked directly when they met: "Mr. Yang, I don't know what you are looking for me this time?"

Hearing that people were straight to the point, Yang Yu also said directly: "Mr. Xu, I want to use an actor banned by your company." ”

Xu Fengzhu frowned when she heard this and said, "Who is it?"

Yang Yu replied: "Yun Qingxia." ”

Xu Fengzhu showed a strange expression when she heard this, as if she couldn't remember who Yun Qingxia was, and the assistant next to her hurriedly stepped forward and whispered a few words in her ear.

Xu Fengzhu suddenly realized after hearing this: "It turned out to be her, I don't know what film Mr. Yang wants to make when he asks her, whether it is a TV series or a movie." ”

"It's a movie, and I've written a book of my own to make it out for fun. ”

Yang Yu didn't hide it, after all, with the other party's channels, it was actually very simple to know what he was going to do.

Xu Fengzhu listened to Yang Yu's words, pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Yang, I can lift Yun Qingxia's refrigeration, as long as she pays back the nine million liquidated damages owed to the company." ”

As soon as Xu Fengzhu's voice fell, Yang Yu's heart suddenly relaxed, he actually didn't expect Xu Fengzhu to let go so easily.

Before he came, he had actually thought about all kinds of rights and wrongs, financial compensation was only the most basic, and he was even ready to sign a film contract with Star Media in exchange for Yun Qingxia's freedom.

But in the end, what I didn't expect was that Xu Fengzhu only said 9 million liquidated damages, which was really unexpected.

Just when Yang Yu was secretly happy in his heart, he heard Xu Fengzhu say again: "Mr. Yang, compared to Yun Qingxia, I am very interested in your movie, I don't know if your film has found a cooperative company, if not, we Star Media are very interested." ”

Listening to Xu Fengzhu's words, Yang Yu frowned and said, "Mr. Xu, you should know that I have a contract with Galaxy Entertainment. ”

Xu Fengzhu smiled slightly when she heard this: "Of course I know this, it's just a matter of priority cooperation, don't worry, I won't go to rob Galaxy Entertainment's film distribution qualifications, if you need other funds to share the risk for shooting a movie, I hope you can consider us Star Media." ”

Yang Yu listened, showed a hesitant expression and said, "This ......"

Xu Fengzhu interjected: "Mr. Yang, it is normal to find other funds to invest and share risks in the film industry, even Galaxy Entertainment often cooperates with our Star Media." ”

To tell the truth, Yang Yu was moved by Xu Fengzhu's words, he borrowed 900 million foreign debts in order to invest in WeChat, and now there is really not much money around him, even if there is no Xu Fengzhu investment, he is ready to pull Galaxy Entertainment in.

And if there is investment from Star Media, his "Dragon Gate Inn" will also have a great advantage when it is released, after all, the theater share of Galaxy Entertainment and Star Media accounts for more than 30% of the domestic market.

The most important thing is that he is afraid that now that he has rejected Xu Fengzhu, the other party will not let go of Yun Qingxia's refrigeration.

Thinking of this, Yang Yu said to Xu Fengzhu: "Mr. Xu, please allow me to communicate with Galaxy Entertainment about investment, and I will give you an answer as soon as possible." ”

"Then I'll wait for Mr. Yang's good news, oh yes, about Yun Qingxia's matter, you can ask Assistant Lin to handle it. ”

After Xu Fengzhu finished speaking, it seemed that she still had official business to do, so she asked Assistant Lin to send off the guests.

However, as soon as Yang Yu left Xu Fengzhu's office, Assistant Lin asked a little puzzled: "Mr. Xu, why do we want to invest in Yang Yu's movies, he is just a singer to make TV series, and it is too unreliable to want to make movies now." ”

Xu Fengzhu shook his head and said: "Yang Yu is a recognized cash cow in the entertainment industry, Galaxy Entertainment looks at it more than anything else, if we want to poach people, how can we get familiar with it first, if we want to take this first step, even if we lose a little money." ”

After Yang Yu left Star Media, he immediately drove towards Galaxy Entertainment, and when he entered the company, he went to find Li Yuefeng and put forward Xu Fengzhu's request.

After Li Yuefeng heard this, he didn't answer but asked directly: "What is your budget for this movie?"

Yang Yu said: "The movie is about 25 million. ”

Li Yuefeng thought for a while and said: "Yang Yu, you can agree to Xu Fengzhu's investment, but just give him a quota of five million, the company will also invest five million, and you can pay the rest of the funds yourself, you see if this distribution will work." ”

Yang Yu thought to himself that all the funds he has now are the 20 million dividends of "Full House of Romance" that he has just shared from Galaxy Entertainment.

However, for this money, he wants to take nine million to pay Yun Qingxia liquidated damages, and the rest will be collected from other places, fifteen million should be no problem, so he nodded and agreed.

After solving the problem of investment and the blocking of Yun Qingxia, it took him a full month and a half to complete the preparations before filming.

During this period, the first film he invested in, "People in Embarrassment", was also successfully released, and the box office of the whole movie was finally fixed at more than 130 million.

Although it is not uncommon for domestic films to break 100 million at the box office in recent years, few newcomers can show this achievement.

So this box office figure of over 100 million yuan suddenly made Xu Zheng, a rookie director, famous in a fight, which caused heated discussions in the media.

As an investor, Yang Yu, although he has also received some attention, he is more happy with the profits brought by this movie.

With a box office of 130 million, after deducting the share of the theater chain and the distributor Galaxy Entertainment, and paying various taxes, Yang Yu's profit is about 35% of the total box office, that is, more than 45 million.

The production and publicity cost of this "People in Embarrassment" is less than 20 million, so Yang Yu earned more than 20 million at the box office alone, and finally solved the trouble of lack of money recently.

Moreover, the profits obtained from the domestic box office are actually only a small part of the total profits of the film, and the overseas box office, DVDs, peripherals, and copyright income are the majority.

Moreover, some movies that are suitable for overseas releases, or movies that are suitable for selling peripheral goods, may even have several times the domestic box office profits.

This "People in Embarrassment" just looks at the genre, I am afraid that the overseas box office and peripheral sales will not be too good.

But even according to the minimum standard, the profit brought by this movie to Yang Yu will not be less than 80 million, but this part of the income is relatively slow, and you need to wait slowly.
