"Congratulations, you made nine million in one fell swoop."

Coming out of the bank and seeing Wang Jing's glowing eyes, Yang Huan shook his head; "It's just a gambling agreement, and if the box office is less than 18 million, I'm going to lose a lot."

"But no matter what, you're at least earning it."

Yang Huan sighed helplessly: "Say, what do you want to do, ask for money?" ”

"Huh? How obvious? ”

"Nonsense, you were very reluctant when you were in Jiahe, but now you have been following here, except for money, I really don't think there is anything between us."

Wang Jing smiled awkwardly: "Ah Huan, since you already have your funds, can you give me more of the budget for "God of Gamblers"." ”

Yang Huan raised his eyebrows: "Isn't the original budget enough?" ”

Wang Jing nodded: "The five million I calculated before is the result of my best savings." Now that we have enough funds, we naturally have to keep improving. ”

"In that case, it's not impossible."

Yang Huan thought about it and agreed. When he first calculated five million, he was very surprised, after all, the budget of "God of Gamblers" felt too low.

But at that time, after Wang Jing's persuasion, I finally understood something.

Although Zhou Yunfa turned over because of "The True Color of Heroes", his salary has risen sharply in the past six months. But now his real blockbuster movie is only "The True Color of Heroes", and other movies are either still being filmed or have not been released. For example, movies such as "Dragon and Tiger" and "Heroes" released half a month later, each of which had a box office of nearly 20 million.

He hasn't gotten the nickname of "fairy hair" yet, and the beginning of this year is when he will completely break out, so the salary is not so exaggerated. Now the salary of 800,000 yuan is not low, after all, he was the nickname of "box office poison", and his salary has dropped again and again, and even in the later stage, no one dares to ask him to make movies.

Of course, the salary of 800,000 yuan is still for Wang Jing's sake, and the relationship between the two has always been good.

In "God of Gamblers", Zhou Runfa has the highest salary. Andy Lau, who plays Chen Xiaodao, has already been negotiated, and the salary is only 400,000, as for Li Jiaxin, it is cheaper, Yang Huan gave a price of 100,000, which still has an element of care.

Don't look at future generations, the salary of Xiangjiang movie stars is ridiculously high. But that was in the next few years, especially when Taiwanese capital poured in, the whole city was immersed in false prosperity, and the salaries of celebrities were high and high. Later, tens of millions can be shouted at will.

It's okay at this stage, but there are already signs of it.

Except for the three of them, other roles are easy to find, and the actor's salary plus staff remuneration, as well as Wang Jing's 500,000 director fee, add up to no more than two million.

The remaining three million is the filming fund, which is actually not less.

Of course, if it is two years later, the cost of shooting will definitely go up a level, and it will definitely not be possible to shoot without 8 million, and the quality is difficult to say.

In this way, the shooting fund of three million is a little less, but Wang Jing's means I believe he will not be disappointed.

"It's not impossible to have a more budget, but our current funds are also extremely limited, and I still want to start filming another one, so I have to continue to be frugal."

Wang Jing suddenly understood why Yang Huan would finalize this gambling agreement with Golden Harvest, because no matter whether the box office exceeded 18 million, for Yang Huan, 4 million or 9 million was actually a big loss.

No more than 18 million, sold for 4 million, don't look at it as a tenfold benefit, in fact, the price of vomiting blood.

And 9 million is not a lot, but a number of copyrights have increased, and the income is definitely more than 10 million.

If you want to change him, you will definitely not sell it so lightly.

Wang Jing didn't know that Yang Huan was now very satisfied.

What about more benefits? "The Best Friend" is still a month away, and then it will be screened for a month, and it will take two months to get the share at the earliest, and this is only two million at most. What can you do with such a small amount of money, it is definitely not enough to make a movie.

Overseas revenue is slower, and the video tape will not be available until a few months later. No matter how you calculate it, you have to get all the benefits at the end of the year, which is the result of Golden Harvest not deliberately delaying.

Like now, it is the best way to get 9 million directly, all of which is used for investment, and you can grow rapidly.

It's the same as borrowing, it's essentially the same.

At the same time, he also admired the courage of Golden Harvest. It is no wonder that it can become one of the three major film companies in Xiangjiang, and in the future, when the new art city disintegrates and Debao closes, Golden Harvest will still stand.

It was only later, after the entire industry was shaken and Hong Kong films declined, that Golden Harvest survived and was finally acquired by a Japanese-controlled entertainment company in China.

"Actually, I want to say that if I don't have enough funds, I can also participate in the investment, even if it's the director's fee, I can do without it."

"The Best Friend" has not yet been released, and Yang Huan has received a profit of nine million, which makes him extremely envious, and it is inevitable that he will have some thoughts.

In the past, he always thought that it was better not to invest in making movies, after all, no one can say that movies are bad, and it is likely that he will lose money to vomit blood.

But today's stimulus is too great, and he has been preparing for "God of Gamblers" for a long time, so he is very confident in this movie.

Speaking of which, Wang Jing's favorite thing to make is a, pee, and fart movie. And among them, gambling films, three. The first grade films are his favorites.

"God of Gamblers" is different from what he has filmed before, this is already a deification of gamblers, and the plot conflict in it gives people a more novel feeling. With such a movie, coupled with Zhou Runfa in charge, Wang Jing is confident that he will be made into a classic.

The same is true, he can't help but have some ideas and wants a piece of the pie.

Looking at Wang Jing's cautious appearance, Yang Huan hesitated, seeing that Wang Jing was nervous, he sneered: "When I was filming "The Best Friend" before, I told you to invest a little and make some money, but you don't have confidence. Now you know, right? ”

Wang Jing was embarrassed, but at the moment he was happy, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Okay, the director's fee of 500,000 yuan is considered an investment, and you account for one-tenth. This will be an extra 500,000 yuan in shooting fees, and you should be able to use it. Speaking of which, he took out a check from his bag, "By the way, this 200,000 is a dividend for you." It's all thanks to you that much money this time. Thank you very much. ”

Wang Jing was overjoyed when he heard this, and hugged Yang Huan: "Ah Huan, you are so righteous." ”

He thought that he could only invest his 500,000 director fees, but he didn't expect Yang Huan to be so atmospheric and directly throw out 200,000 red envelopes, which really moved him.

"But let's talk about it first, so that we don't have conflicts later because of our disagreements. One-tenth only accounts for box office dividends, video tapes, and copyrights and other income, and I will never give it away. ”

Wang Jing was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "No problem, I am very satisfied with the box office dividends." ”

After the negotiation, the relationship between the two became closer and the atmosphere became more harmonious.

It wasn't until the evening that they ate a seafood feast and went home to wash and sleep.
