"It seems that the day of returning to the mainland will be delayed for a few days. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info "After Gu Cheng saw the preparatory offer of "Meteor Garden", he said to himself so secretly.

This is a post-00s TV series that the post-10s have heard of, Gu Cheng vaguely remembers that its copyright was sold in several countries in his previous life, and the return on investment must be very impressive.

Although from the perspective of authoritative appreciation at the moment, the theme of idol dramas is a bit too low - before 2000, Wanwan people filmed Qiong Yao romance dramas at most, but they would not shoot new-style idol dramas, because the big directors in the circle still have to be forced, and they are unwilling to put down their bodies to shoot those domineering maniacs who directly show off their wealth and pretend to be forced.

But Gu Cheng just wants to be an investor, and it has nothing to do with him if he is LOW or not.

And Gu Cheng can foresee that in the first half year after the legendary fee operation, most of the gross profit of the game will definitely be fed back to the promotion fee. For example, to promote the installation of the "Alipay" recharge system for Internet café owners across the country, it will require a lot of subsidy expenses.

Therefore, this kind of film, which is called a phenomenon by history books, can be invested with money, of course. Earning a share of thousands of eight million is not without a small supplement for Gu Cheng, who is still at risk of running out of money for a year and a half.

"Do you know where this crew has go? Who are the current people? How much money is missing, and what is the shareholding structure of the existing sponsors?"

Gu Cheng dropped the copy, and directly threw over three questions in a row.

Lin Zhiling was slightly flustered, hurriedly flipped out a page of notes, and said, "Hmm...... The producer is Fulong Productions, the producer is Chai Zhiping, the director is also from the same company, and the script is adapted from the Fuso comic "Boys Over Flowers". However, the producer is still uncertain about the prospects, and refuses to buy the adaptation rights in cash, and only negotiates with the original author for the editing rights to buy shares.

Other information is not available through the current public channels. If you need it, I can ask a friend to talk to the other company. ”

"Okay, let's make an appointment. Gu Cheng thought about it and motioned to Lin Zhiling to make arrangements.

Lin Zhiling's intelligence work this time is really not good, after all, he doesn't even know how much budget the other party needs and how much gap in the fundraising is missing. But Gu Cheng considered that Lin Zhiling was in the first formation, so he didn't want to be harsh, and he would be born and mature again in the future.

Besides, those who have been in contact with small productions know that the script and actors are inherently floating, and the key depends on how much money you get. There are funds to burn, and scenes and big roles can naturally be piled up. If you can't get money, you can only use newcomers to shoot indoor scenes, and you can't use valuable props.

"It seems that the actors used in "Meteor Garden" are all amateurs, right? It is estimated that the crew is not valued at all, and it should be the producer's shotgun work to test the waters. Gu Cheng thought.

……

Three days later, Lin Zhiling helped Gu Cheng make an appointment with the producer of "Meteor Garden" through the only few friends in the circle. also invited people to eat and stuffed red envelopes, and found out some additional insider information.

It is said that "Meteor Garden" is not a drama that the shareholders of Fulong Productions are optimistic about. But Chai Zhiping, the actual operator and general manager, wanted to test the water very much.

This is a typical entertainment company operator who takes the shareholders' money to risk and put money on his resume - no matter whether he makes or loses, the money belongs to the company; but once he earns it, the reputation is the producer's own; and the rookie actors she has recruited and cultivated will also gain a certain amount of prestige in the circle, and even become popular fried chicken.

If there is a disagreement, the stronger the demand for external investment will be. Chai Zhiping needs to use a message that "external investors are optimistic about this drama and are willing to invest money" to put smoke bombs in front of shareholders.

The day of contact came soon, maybe Lin Zhiling was more careful, thinking that Gu Cheng might not be willing to drink with an old woman, so he made an appointment at Wisteria Mansion.

Wisteria House is located in the south of the city in the corner of Da'an Forest Park, so although it is an urban area, the environment is very quiet, and it has always been known as the first tea ceremony house in Wanwan.

When you meet in a teahouse to discuss business, you naturally don't risk getting drunk.

Gu Cheng and Lin Zhiling were the ones who invited the guests, and they arrived 20 minutes earlier than the agreed time. Who knew that when she entered the box, Chai Zhiping was still waiting there.

Chai Zhiping is an old woman in her forties, and she has good makeup and maintenance. But at the first glance of the meeting, Gu Cheng didn't like the way the other party looked at men, especially the eyes of handsome men.

It's a pity that in business. I have to admit that it is such a woman who knows best what women want to see, especially the G-spot that can poke at a little girl who is not deeply involved in the world.

Chai Zhiping is an old man, and as soon as they met, he smiled and probed the details of the other party: "It's an honor to be invited by Mr. Gu." It is said that it is not a raptor but a river, Mr. Gu is from the mainland, and he has been able to start repeatedly in the circle recently, and the capital is really enviable. ”

"Aunt Chai has won the prize. I used to be involved in the Internet, and as you know, the Internet bubble burst a while ago. Just change your mind and look for opportunities in the content industry circle. It's time to pay some tuition. ”

A "Aunt Chai" suddenly blocked the old woman's closeness, and she was very embarrassed. Chai Zhiping was a little annoyed, and immediately remembered that the handsome guy in front of her was not a newcomer Xiao Xianrou, but an investor, so she restrained her frivolity.

Only then did the three of them begin to drink tea quietly.

Lin Zhiling, who was on the side, observed the words and looks, and saw that there was a trend of cold scenes, and after drinking a small cup of frozen top, he casually changed the topic back to business, and said softly: "Sister Chai, our Mr. Gu is joking with you." In fact, his recent investment vision is accurate, and Zhou Jielun's mainland agency is the ...... he signed"

"Oh, Zhou Jielun was also signed by you?" Chai Zhiping's eyes flashed with a trace of expectation that was difficult to capture.

Gu Cheng glanced at Chai Zhiping's eyes, knew that things were going to be bad, and hurriedly added a few words: "Actually, I am betting on shotguns, in addition to Zhou Jielun, I also signed the agency rights of three or four other new singers, all of which cost less than hundreds of thousands, but I didn't expect Zhou Jielun to win this bet." In fact, at the beginning, I wanted to sign Jolin Tsai, who had just cooled down, but Jolin Tsai's agency was shameless and asked Lao Tzu for a 1 million termination fee, so I didn't pee on them. ”

As he spoke, he pretended to be calm and hugged Lin Zhiling's waist, pinched it slightly, and posed as an indifferent flower.

Lin Zhiling's heart tightened, she couldn't hold back her trembling and didn't resist, she had already reacted that she had just said the wrong thing.

Chai Zhiping swept his eyes twice, and said in his heart: "It turns out that he is just a venture capitalist temperament who casts a wide net, and it seems that he is not willing to spend much price for what he likes." should have watched several spare tires at the same time, but for a while, he couldn't ask for too much and scared the other party away. ”

It is said that with Chai Zhiping's experience and old spicy vision, he will not be shaken like this by Gu Cheng. But the key is that Gu Cheng's appearance is too deceptive, who would have thought that a young man who is less than 17 years old would have such a scheming city?

If Gu Cheng said just now that he leaked his mouth and Lin Zhiling saved the scene, then Chai Zhiping would have to be suspicious, after all, Lin Zhiling looked like a courtesan who did not leak. But after the two roles were transferred, the effect was completely different.

The two sides talked about the cooperation intention and the current gap relatively sincerely.

Gu Cheng learned that the current expected production cost of the crew of "Meteor Garden" is 4 million (all according to RMB), but the total share capital will be more than 5 million, of which the producer and director are all Chai Zhiping, but they do not receive remuneration, and finally according to the form of shareholding, they will be divided after the film is made. There is also the script adaptation right of the original "Boys Over Flowers", which was priced at more than 700,000 shares.

This "valuation" is obviously inflated with private goods, because Chai Zhiping's personal labor and Director Cai who she brought in, the monthly work of the two of them is definitely not worth 1 million yuan, after all, they are not famous directors of big names now.

The bottom limit that Chai Zhiping is willing to come up with is to raise 2 million yuan externally and transfer 30% of the share.

Let the collaborators estimate hundreds of thousands more, this little money Gu Cheng doesn't care about. After all, everyone has selfish intentions, and if the other party is completely cut off from the opportunity to make money, other directors and producers will not work hard to make films.

But only 30% of the equity is given, Gu Cheng feels that it is a bit less. He didn't want to dominate the film, as long as it wasn't more than halfway, he felt there was room for talk.

Gu Cheng thought for a while and said, "That's it, isn't it for the original author of Fusang to buy shares according to the ratio of 700,000." You give me a contact information, I'll buy out the adaptation rights with cash, you add a little more budget, and when the time comes, I will look at the script, and I will chase 45% of the share. ”

If you buy something for 700,000 yuan, you will never need 700,000 yuan to buy it out, and you may be able to get a discount.

Chai Zhiping secretly thought: There are also benefits to buying out, at least it can prove in front of the company's shareholders that someone is very optimistic about this film.

As for the additional budget, that's a good thing. Originally, because of the lack of money, she planned to shoot 20 episodes to test the waters, and then shoot a second season if the market response is good. If someone is willing to chase money, she can advance some plots suitable for interspersing in the second season, and then improve the production level of props and sets.

So Chai Zhiping made up his mind and said, "Okay, then it's decided." I don't know if Mr. Gu can easily reveal, if the cooperation is reached, when will your capital injection be in place at the earliest?"

Gu Cheng thought for a while: "You should have to shoot this film for a long time, right? In this way, I will have a maximum of 1 million this year, but from next year, my cash flow will be more generous, and I can chase 1 million per month." ”

Chai Zhiping pondered and calculated: "That's it...... Then we can consider starting in December, after all, everything else is almost ready. ”

The two sides initialed a framework intention for cooperation, and then Chai Zhiping took his leave.

Lin Zhiling was also about to pack up his things and leave, but was humbly pressed by Gu Cheng and pressed back on the sofa: "Do you know what you said wrongly just now?"

Lin Zhiling blushed: "I know a little bit." ”

Gu Cheng said earnestly: "You shouldn't emphasize that I only bought Zhou Jielun's agency - if you let the other party know that I only agreed to negotiate one, and signed it, and it became popular." The other person will think that I am very confident in my vision and will do whatever it takes to take it - never let your opponent think that you will be 'willing to do anything at all'. ”

Lin Zhiling obediently admitted his mistake: "I will definitely change it next time." ”

"So be it. Oh, and besides, I didn't mean to hug you just now. ”

"I know this, you want Chai Zhiping to know your aesthetics and let her not mess around. This time, Lin Zhiling's reaction was very fast, his tone was soft and glutinous, and his eyes flickered, as if to say: I know that you are a righteous gentleman, and my sister doesn't blame you.

That being the case, there is nothing more to explain.
