Chapter 994: Ninety percent sure

In early March, "Star" was successfully completed, and the broadcast rights were also successfully sold. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Blueberry Satellite TV and Donghai Satellite TV jointly won the premiere right at a high price of 1.8 million yuan for a single episode; the second round of broadcast rights was sold to four satellite TV stations and six terrestrial channels at a total price of 1.5 million yuan for a single episode; and Storm Video purchased the exclusive online broadcast rights of "Star" at a high price of 20 million.

The price of a single episode of "Star" even exceeded the 76-episode palace fight drama "The Legend of Zhen Huan", which caused an uproar in the industry.

Many people in the industry questioned the price being too high, and attributed this to Mai Xiaoyu's reflection, thinking that Blueberry Satellite TV and Donghai Satellite TV were too impulsive and dared to take over such a high price.

But no one dares to pat their chests and promise that the two satellite TVs will definitely vomit blood at a loss, because cute dramas are often linked to miracles, especially the TV series starring Mai Xiaoyu.

It's just that Mango Satellite TV, Lychee Satellite TV, Dolphin TV and several other rich first-line David TV have withdrawn from the bid for the premiere rights, but Donghai Satellite TV has come out of the air, which is beyond the expectations of industry insiders.

No one knows that in addition to buying dramas at a high price, Donghai Satellite TV also agreed with Mengren to jointly create a variety show in the next two years.

……

In mid-March, "33 Days of Broken Love" was successfully offline with a proud box office of more than 400 million and a good reputation.

The popularity, influence and status of the leading actor Deng Chao have reached a new level, and Wang Luodan, who has just set foot in the film industry, has also successfully opened the domestic film market and become a popular actress in film and television.

The system of including the starring remuneration in the investment and receiving dividends without receiving remuneration has not only allowed Deng Chao and Wang Luodan to enjoy box office dividends that exceed the remuneration several times, but also pointed out a new way of cooperation for the domestic film industry.

If the actor is optimistic about the script and thinks that the movie is a big hit, why not include his salary in the investment and enjoy the dividends?

In this way, the crew has more money to spend on film production and improve the quality of the film, rather than spending one-third, one-half or even more of the budget on paying the high salaries of the stars.

For celebrities, the box office success of the movie, coupled with the sale of various copyrights and the return of overseas box office, the dividend income is likely to exceed the remuneration itself.

Of course, it is risky for celebrities to make such decisions, and it is not small.

The requirements for the star himself and the brokerage team are very high, at least they must have the ability to select high-quality scripts, and they must also add luck. Otherwise, the box office will be dismal after the movie is released, and it is better to receive a high salary steadily.

Films directed by big directors have become the first choice for consideration, because the director's own brand effect helps to reduce risks.

Zhang Xiaoquan has become one of the leaders of the new generation of film directors.

For two consecutive years, the low-cost films "People in Embarrassment" and "33 Days of Broken Love" have won more than 100 million box office, especially the latter's 10 million production funds won 400 million box office, and the strong box office return rate has made many industry insiders look sideways.

He has now entered the ranks of domestic directors with half a foot, and he is only one successful blockbuster to complete the last one.

When "Broken Love" was not yet offline, a number of producers approached him with the script and offered him a good price, hoping that he would be the director.

However, no matter how high the price offered by the other party, he could not impress him, because he wanted to participate in the filming of "Nine Gates".

Not a director, but a cinematographer!

Directed by Yu Xiaoxing, photographed by Zhang Xiaoquan, co-starring Mai Xiaoyu and Shu Chang, the movie "Nine Gates", which has made cameos by many stars, has entered the preparation stage, and such a strong lineup cannot but attract the attention of the industry and the media.

In fact, as early as early March, after "Star" was completed, the movie "Nine Gates" attracted widespread attention. At the end of last year, the Jiumen Anti-Pickpocketing Alliance, which was derived from "Mai Xiaoyu's past experience", brought about heated discussions on the Internet, is still fresh in the memory of many people.

Is Moe Man planning to make a movie about the experience of Jiumen?

Is it intended to overturn the case for the deceased at that time?

Not afraid of being crabbed?

Will anyone watch it when it is filmed?

How much box office can this kind of movie have?

……

There are many questions from the media and netizens, and Meng Ren and the crew of "Nine Gates" have answered very little. It was only through the official Weibo and the media that the director, photographer and all the actors of this film were announced to the outside world for free.

Their remuneration will be converted into an investment budget, which will be invested in the upcoming Righteous and Courageous Relief Fund in the form of box office dividends in the future.

"He doesn't think that making a movie can change anything, does he?"

Ning Shirong, the new CEO of Qingtian Group, put down the newspaper, looked at Pei Pengbing and Zhang Ruilin and asked.

In the past two years, since he no longer deliberately looked for trouble with cute people, and sent Liu Lei, the "traitor" lurking around him, to prison for drug trafficking, Ning Shirong's career and life have been smooth sailing.

In terms of career, with the help of Mai Xiaoyu's "hostile takeover" of Qingtian, the Ning family was urged to be unanimous with the outside world. After Ning Zhiyuan made some concessions, in exchange for the support of other members of the Ning family, Ning Shirong was successfully promoted to the president of the group, laying a good foundation for entering the board of directors and being elected chairman in the future.

In life, Ning Shirong, who is nearly forty years old, wants to have good looks, a family background, and talent, which is easy to attract girl audiences. The Ning family has reached an agreement with Singapore Fengrui Investment, the fourth largest shareholder of Qingtian Group, to prepare a business marriage.

The other party is one of the granddaughters of the chairman of Fengrui Investment, Singaporean Chinese, 27 years old this year, who was elected Miss Singapore and one of the Southeast Asian celebrities. has a good sense of Ning Shirong, the two have been dating for more than half a year, and they are very satisfied with each other.

If the marriage between the two parties is successful, it will help Ning Shirong consolidate his position in Qingtian and lay a good foundation for the future board of directors to be elected as the chairman of the board of directors.

However, he still habitually pays attention to Mai Xiaoyu's movements, even if he thinks that Mai Xiaoyu can't catch up with himself in this life.

He had a feeling that Mai Xiaoyu inexplicably filmed three TV series for the purpose of starring in this movie. It's just that I didn't expect that "Step by Step" and "Why" would be so popular and make him popular.

"Nine Gates" can be said to concentrate most of the power of cute people. Xi Xiaoxing and Zhang Xiaoquan are film directors who are brought out by cute people; there are also artists such as Shu Chang, Liu Tao, Huang Bo, Deng Chao, Wang Baoqiang, etc., who are also cute and popular stars......

"Why do you think he put so much effort into making this film?"

"He's sick and he's not in a normal mind. As soon as Pei Pengbing spoke, he gave Ning Shirong a cold look, and hurriedly changed his words, "He may want to use this movie to destroy Rong Shao's image." ”

The origin of the grievances between Mai Xiaoyu and Ning Shirong back then is not a secret now.

Although Qingtian passed the relationship last year, the mainstream media did not report it, but all kinds of rumors flew on the Internet.

The people who eat melons judge by their personal likes and dislikes, and Pei Pengbing, a person who knows both Mai Xiaoyu and Ning Shirong, can easily guess the truth.

However, for many people, the truth seems very small in the face of personal interests.

"Destroy my image?" Ning Shirong frowned and muttered, looking at Zhang Ruilin, "What do you think?"

"I think what Manager Pei said has some truth. Rong Shao is a talent, and Miss Li is in love, and plans to get engaged at the end of this year. If the movie is released, Mai Xiaoyu will use his popularity to destroy Rong Shao's image through the film......"

Well, there is some truth to that.

Ning Shirong nodded noncommittally: "This is in line with Mai Xiaoyu's cognition and acting style." However, the sling is the sling, which is too taken for granted. My marriage to Jannet is not an ordinary sling marriage, and it won't change because of a movie!"

"Rong Shao, do you want me to find someone to say hello loudly, so that the cute movie can't get a birth permit?" Pei Pengbing asked.

Ning Shirong looked left and right, and finally pointed at Pei Pengbing: "Ruilin still has to help me deal with the affairs of the group, and this matter will be handed over to you to handle, do it beautifully." ”

……

Within two days, Mai Xiaoyu received news from Shi Hao that Ning Shirong planned to start with "Nine Gates" and do something when the sample was submitted for review.

Mai Xiaoyu smiled contemptuously and didn't care.

Ning Shirong can find someone to do tricks, can't he find someone to ensure that the review of "Nine Gates" passes smoothly?

I really think that the cute people now are still the little bamboo rafts of the past!

What he is concerned about is: "Is the channel of QFII opened?"

"It has been opened and is now in operation, and it is expected that the US$100 million will be able to be converted into Chinese dollars in August this year and enter the A-share market. I didn't expect that the black man you casually dialed at the beginning was Samuel, and now he is a Los Angeles city councilor......"

The world is impermanent, and it all depends on creation.

Samuel, a former gangster in a black neighborhood in Los Angeles, has made it his life's goal to dominate his neighborhood. Since he met Mai Xiaoyu and took money for Mai Xiaoyu, he has completely changed his fate.

After the release of "That Man from Earth" in the United States, Mai Xiaoyu spent money to hire Samuel to organize black people to march on the streets in order to expand publicity and increase the box office.

By mistake, Samuel entered the sight of a certain European force, and after some investigation, he became one of the candidates for the support of that force in the United States.

With the financial assistance of this force, he first used his experience and experience in the Gangsters Association to win the support of a large number of blacks and Mexicans, and then under the banner of "Mai Xiaoyu Brothers" and "Chinese-American Friends", he helped stabilize law and order in many Chinese communities in Los Angeles in exchange for the support of the Chinese community.

In this way, he completed the first step of the forces behind him and was elected to the Los Angeles City Council by running for a high vote.

When Mai Xiaoyu first learned the news, he was so shocked that he didn't say anything for a long time.

This time, in order to acquire Qingtian, Mai Xiaoyu used all his connections.

In addition to Hailian Group, Emperor Yang Gongzi and his friends, and the seven shareholders of Hualong Pictures, some of the funds of Hualong Pictures were also used.

In order to avoid exposing his full strength too early and startling the snake, he asked Shi Hao to contact Samuel. After paying Samuel a sum of money, Samuel successfully persuaded the forces behind him to provide a convenient channel for Hualong Pictures to transfer 100 million US dollars back to China to invest in A-shares.

QFII is the English abbreviation for Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor.

The QFII mechanism refers to the qualification system for foreign professional investment institutions to invest in China. When the currency is not freely convertible, this is a way to steadily introduce foreign capital through the capital market.

This system requires that foreign investors must meet certain conditions in order to enter a country's securities market. After obtaining the approval of the relevant departments of the country, a certain amount of foreign exchange funds will be remitted, converted into local currency, and invested in the local securities market through a strictly supervised special account.

The GFII threshold is very high, and it is not easy to be approved.

In Huaxia, even if the other seven companies can win the vest of qualified foreign institutional investors for Hualong is useless. Because whether it is the establishment period of the state's overseas investment institutions or the scale of securities assets of 5 billion, Hualong Pictures and its preparation of 100 million US dollars do not meet the standard.

Fortunately, the European forces that support Samuel have investment institutions that have been approved by China and qualified as QFIIs.

Samuel, who was promoted to Los Angeles City Councilor, took Mai Xiaoyu's money and tried to convince the forces behind him.

The forces behind it promised to provide a special channel for the investment fund established by Hualong Pictures on the basis of charging a certain fee, so that it could be transformed into a QFII fund to invest in the domestic A-share market.

This is Mai Xiaoyu's strange soldier ambushed in the dark, and when the acquisition war starts in the future, it will definitely be able to receive miraculous results.

Shi Hao also admitted this, but he expressed concern about Mai Xiaoyu's forcible acquisition: "Mr. Mai, how sure are you about this acquisition of Qingtian?"

"Ninety percent. ”

"With such a big grasp, those few can't do their best to help, and the business war is unpredictable, who dares to guarantee that no one will fight back?"

"As long as we have the upper hand, they will be on our side. ”

"Qingtian has been established for many years, with deep-rooted and complex relationships, has been listed for many years, has rich experience in mergers and acquisitions in the capital market, and although Ningjia's equity has been diluted due to listing, the shareholding ratio has always been above the safety control line of 34%, and it has a veto power. If you want to complete the acquisition through the secondary market, it is very difficult. ”

"I have a back-up move. ”

"Isn't it this QFII fund?"

"Of course not. This is also used to confuse people, and the real aftermath is the ultimate killer move, and you will know it in the future. ”

The stakes are very high, and Mai Xiaoyu will not trust anyone, let alone tell anyone about his nirvana.

He was waiting, waiting for the time to get the Wang Bang that was enough to make Ning Zhiyuan's father and son fatal.

Now, the smooth start-up, shooting, and completion of "Nine Gates" are the top priorities.

Before that, he has to wait for feedback from a group of people.

At the end of March, Mai Xiaoyu came to Houhai Forgotten Bar to have a drink and chat with Wu Weiguo.

"Maizi, you've decided?"

"Well, they've been on the loose for too long, and it's time for someone to take them in. ”

"I heard that you gambled your entire net worth this time, how sure are you?"

How sure you are is is a topic that everyone in the know is concerned about.

Qingtian, a veteran media leader in China, has big roots and deep roots, how can it be so easy to deal with?

But if this big tree doesn't fall, how can the Ning family's gang of monkeys disperse?

"I never fight unprepared battles. By the way, Lao Wu, do you think they will come on Qingming Day?"
