Chapter 027: Dividends in hand
"Yin and Yang Wrong" is a movie with the theme of female ghosts, but the number of heroines in the play has increased to two. One is Zhang Xiaoyu who plays the female ghost, and the other is the male protagonist's fiancée Ivy, who has relatively fewer roles.
Gu Zhiming, an investigator at an insurance company, rushed home on a rainy night to celebrate his four-year engagement with his fiancée Ivy.
Gu Zhiming's fiancée Ivy is hot-tempered, although Gu Zhiming is dissatisfied, he has to endure it, and that night Gu Zhiming's brother played a game of saucers.
At the same time, a woman in red named Zhang Xiaoyu accidentally fell to her death, and the ongoing Saucer Immortal game happened to receive the signal of Zhang's death......
The plot of the story is probably like this, but there are some problems with the male protagonist. The actor of the original movie is Tan Yonglin, but he has now gone to Taiwan to develop, and I am afraid that he will not come back in two or three years, unless Ye Jingcheng personally goes to stay in the bay.
Obviously, Ye Jingcheng will not do this, it is too wasteful of time to come and go. And Tan Yonglin is now focusing on the development of singing arts, and it is still a question whether he can take on movie roles.
So is this role handed over to Ren Dahua, who has already made a promise, or is it Zhang Jianting, who has a more suitable image? After thinking about it, Ye Jingcheng couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he simply left this column blank for the time being, and arranged the other roles first.
Zhou Xingchi, this kid is lucky, the actor has a ghost brother, and he happens to play it. Although there are not many scenes, there are also a few close-up shots.
As for the heroine, if arranged according to the character. Zheng Wenya is more suitable to play the female ghost Zhang Xiaoyu, but she herself did not make the audience shine and be amazed, so the role can only be given to Zhong Chuhong, who has the opposite personality.
On the contrary, the more pungent role Ivy is played by Zheng Wenya, who has better acting skills.
In addition, in order to increase the humor of the film, Ye Jingcheng handed over the original ghost hunting master to Huang Jing to play, and wrote him as having the ability to only have half a bucket of water, and finally accepted the female ghost by mistake.
In the end, Ye Jingcheng himself made a cameo role, which was the top boss of the actor.
This role was originally played by Chen Xinjian, the actor who didn't even dare to move Xiang Huaqiang. Ye Jingcheng doesn't guarantee that he can get him to make a cameo, so it's better to save this trouble than this.
As for other characters with fewer scenes, such as the hero's parents and friends, these roles are all pushed to Huang Jing to arrange. Anyway, he knows these things well.
On November 14, the attendance rate of "Human Meat Roast Shop" was less than 50%, compared with the Shaw Brothers martial arts films with an average attendance rate of 30%, the film schedule can still be reduced for a period of time, but unfortunately Shao Yifu was unwilling to sell this favor, and finally won a total box office of 3.82 million.
Fortunately, Old Man Shao did not intend to default on dividends, and even the handover process can be described as speedy. However, within three days, Ye Jingcheng received a call and asked him to go to TVB.
Ye Jingcheng and Huang Jing deserve forty and a half dividends, that is, 1.72 million yuan will be handed over to him by Fang Yihua. In addition, there is another good news, "Human Meat Roast Shop" has been officially released in Mara and the island country.
After a few minutes of simple conversation, the two people who were not eye-to-eye instantly lost their topic, and Ye Jingcheng chose to leave consciously with his female companion Zhong Chuhong.
Walking all the way to the wireless gate, Zhong Chuhong saw Ye Jingcheng thoughtfully, shook his arm and asked, "Ah Cheng, why don't I see that you are not very happy?" ”
"You think I should be happy?" Ye Jingcheng asked rhetorically.
"Isn't it?" Zhong Chuhong began to count with his fingers, and said: "You have invested 200,000 yuan in this drama, and now there are 1.7 million dividends in this city, and there are at least 3 million at the overseas box office, which is a full return of 1 to 15." Are you still not satisfied? ”
Ye Jingcheng shook his head and said, "That's not how the account is calculated. ”
Not to mention the overseas box office for the time being, nearly 4 million local box office was cut by the theater chain. Then the 1.72 million he got in his hand had to give 520,000 to Huang Jing, and the real capital in his hand was only 1.2 million.
Seriously, the difference in the amount of this money is too great, although knowing that one million in this period is worth several times the use in the next few years. But Ye Jingcheng's mind of flying solo is getting stronger and stronger, why is the value he creates, and the reason to give it away?
It's just that relying on the current platform alone, a cinema line is too far away for him, and it seems that it still needs a gust of east wind to push it.
"I should find a time to ask Yuan Tianfan to come out and talk." After figuring it out, Ye Jingcheng grabbed Zhong Chuhong and said with a smile: "Ah Hong, when I am developed, I will marry you and go home immediately." ”
"Cut, who rarely marries you." After speaking, he turned his face aside and muttered in a low voice: "If you want to talk about development, you can count it now." ”
At this time, the price of a 2,000-square-foot economic villa on the outskirts of Hong Kong Island is only 800,000 or 900,000 yuan, and the identity of a millionaire is comparable to that of a 10,000-yuan household on the other side, which is enough for ordinary workers to struggle for half their lives without eating or drinking, so Ye Jingcheng can naturally be regarded as rich.
Ye Jingcheng didn't know if he pretended not to hear, or was distracted and didn't hear the other party's whispers, and asked, "Ah Hong, do you have anything to do later?" ”
"No, what's wrong?" Zhong Chuhong turned his face sideways.
"Then just take me around the neighborhood and see if there's a suitable office." Now that the dividends have come down, it's time to find an office location for the company.
"Office?" Zhong Chuhong was a little puzzled.
"Yes, now that the company's license plate has come down, it can't even be an office location, right?" You can't save money to open an office, let alone a lot of money.
"Also, someone has now been promoted to the big boss." Zhong Chuhong was a little surprised.
did not respond positively to Zhong Chuhong's sour words, women, they always like to make awkward things when they have nothing to do, and they will pass after a fool.
The two of them walked around the radio channel and asked four or five companies one after another, but they couldn't find a suitable office. These offices are either too expensive in rent, or Ye Jingcheng is not eye-catching.
"Hello, is there an office for rent here?" This one is already the last goal set by Ye Jingcheng, if it is still not suitable, then he can only look for it again tomorrow, or entrust a real estate agent to find it for him.
"Yes, the office is on the fifth floor, do you want to go up and have a look?" Ye Jingcheng and Zhong Chuhong looked at each other and nodded.
Led by the owner, the three of them went to the fifth floor together. The environment is good, this building should have been built for a few years, and the whole building is dedicated to office, such an environment basically meets Ye Jingcheng's requirements.
The property opens the door of the office room to be rented, and the whole room is about 70 square meters. There is also a manager's room inside, but the whole room is very empty, I don't know if no one has rented it, or it has been cleaned up too clean.
"This is the one, and there is another room for rent across the door, but it's only half the size of this one." Said the owner.
"How do you calculate the rent?" Ye Jingcheng went straight to the point, basically deciding that this place would be used as an office location, provided that the rent was not too outrageous.
"Six thousand five a month, the rent is paid at least once every six months, and the lease has three years and five years."
Ye Jingcheng silently calculated the account, and asked Zhong Chuhong again: "What do you think?" ”
"I think it's a bit expensive." Zhong Chuhong is a little lacking in confidence.
In her opinion, it's not just a bit expensive, it's just a lot of money. Originally, I thought that renting an office was similar to renting a house, and the big deal was two or three thousand, but I didn't know that the few places I went to were thousands or even tens of thousands.
Ye Jingcheng nodded, and at the same time determined his thoughts, and said to the owner: "There is nothing wrong with the office, but the rent is indeed high." ”
Ye Jingcheng put forward his own suggestion: "Look at this way, you count me as 6,000 rent, I will pay it here once a year, and then increase the rent according to the price year by year." ”
That being said, in fact, Ye Jingcheng did not plan to rent for the second year. A year later, even if he couldn't afford to buy a building of his own, the small office in front of him would definitely not meet his career needs.
"So?" The owner thought about it and responded without much hesitation.
Although the building is located on the Broadcasting Road, the location is somewhat remote. Moreover, it has been vacant for more than half a year, and the price offered by Ye Jingcheng is also pertinent, and it is better to rent it out for a few hundred than to put the old rats.
"Okay, I think brother, you're also a cool person, so I should make you a friend."
Ye Jingcheng didn't take the other party's kind words at ease, the price of six thousand was still a bit expensive for him.
It's just that it's also on the broadcast road, so it's easy to get in and out of the car first. In addition, the collection of relevant talents, it is convenient for him to recruit people, and he can also go to the wireless door from time to time.
The three of them came to the property management office, signed a series of contracts directly, and then handed over to the property. The owner handed over the key to Yip, who in turn drew a cheque for $72,000.
The newly built building has a little advantage, that is, it does not need Ye Jingcheng to decorate again. It's just that it's definitely not okay to be so empty, so while there is still some time, he and Zhong Chuhong found a nearby furniture store.
First of all, I bought a set of boss's office desk, which must be for myself. There is a reception desk and three office desks, which are for employees. Then there are the sofas and coffee tables, which are for the guests to wait.
Lala is a bunch of miscellaneous things, and it is an expenditure of nearly 8,000 yuan. couldn't help but make the beautiful woman next to him complain, but he didn't expect Ye Jingcheng to not only make money, but also spend money faster. Like him, he is so generous, and the dividends of millions are indeed a matter of a few days.
"Alright, alright. Are you still afraid that I won't be able to support you? Seeing Zhong Chuhong, whose face was not very natural, Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but reach out and pinch the other party's face.
"Cut, I didn't say I wanted you to raise it." Zhong Chuhong first didn't bother to pay attention to you, then changed to a painful look, and asked, "It's just that you really plan to spend money?" ”
