Chapter 072: Expensive Script
"The maximum amount of this check is 10 million, and I only need 40% of the shares of your company, and I will not interfere in any way."
Last time, Lei Juekun took out a check for five million and asked for a 51% stake in Green Lantern Entertainment. This time, he took out a check for 10 million, but only 40% of the shares, it can be seen that he is completely bound to win.
Even if Ye Jingcheng makes a movie of tens of millions, the chips in his hand are still not comparable to this fund, because "Yin and Yang Wrong" can only be regarded as a masterpiece, which does not mean that his next movies must be guaranteed.
It is undeniable that the amount offered by Lei Juekun is very attractive, and even Ye Jingcheng, who knows that the company has a great future, has begun to consider whether this transaction has been done.
If you only want to invest in movies from the perspective of investing in movies, you want to invest in Green Lantern Entertainment with 10 million, and you want to take 40% of the shares? Ye Jingcheng will refuse without hesitation.
But he now has a big plan and needs a huge amount of money to operate. If this is used properly, within two years, he is absolutely confident that he will break the three kingdoms of Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, and Golden Princess, so as to achieve a situation of equality.
Seeing Ye Jingcheng, who was a little stunned, the smile on Lei Juekun's face was even worse. In order to take a stake in Green Lantern Entertainment, he is preparing to bleed this time. Ten million is also a lot of money for him, and the investment is still risky.
However, he believes in Ye Jingcheng's ability, and he believes in his own vision of people. As long as you successfully invest in Green Lantern Entertainment, what is 10 million? The wool is from the sheep, and it may not be long before the money goes around and goes back to his hands.
At this time, Ye Jingcheng had already made a decision.
He decided to make money, to ask.
Company shares, not given.
Because he temporarily figured out another method, he said: "Lei Sheng, there is one thing that I am very puzzled about, why do you insist on taking a stake in my company? Actually, we can work together in a different way. ”
"Huh? Let's hear it. Ye Jingcheng's words obviously rejected him, and Lei Juekun suddenly felt unhappy. Just heard the second half of Ye Jingcheng's sentence, he knew that the other party didn't say anything to death.
For Ye Jingcheng, who is well-informed, Lei Juekun's evaluation has always been very high. Now that he has come up with a new plan, he may be able to get the best of both worlds.
"I think Lei Sheng, you insist on becoming a shareholder, and you don't like Green Lantern Entertainment, but you like me, the producer behind the scenes, I don't know if you made a mistake in saying this?" Ye Jingcheng directly pointed out the key, and did not forget to praise himself.
"That's right, go on." Lei Juekun nodded.
Ye Jingcheng continued to taunt: "Talking about resources, publicity, and actors, there are many people who are better than me in these three points, but they can't compare to me at the box office, Lei Sheng doesn't know what the reason is?" ”
Lei Juekun didn't respond to the question, just motioned for him to continue.
"I don't know if Lei Sheng has discovered that the film industry is developing very pathologically now? Seven out of ten films are martial arts films. I'm curious why so many people make martial arts films, instead of urban films? Or is it sci-fi? Even literary films. ”
"Creativity." Ye Jingcheng knocked on the door of his head with his index finger and said: "The current screenwriter just can't jump out of his own circle of thought, and thinks that the audience still has a soft spot for martial arts movies, so why don't you try to start from other aspects." ”
"I can't give you an opinion on this, I just want to know what you just said about cooperation."
Rationally speaking, Lei Juekun agreed with the other party's words. But he is just a layman in the film industry, and it is not up to him to worry about whether things in the cinema will change or not, and how to change them.
knocked on the door of his head again, Ye Jingcheng said frankly: "I have a lot of creativity here, it depends on whether Lei Sheng needs it." ”
Hearing this, Lei Juekun completely reacted. As Ye Jingcheng said, the premise of his interest in Green Lantern Entertainment is that the company is in charge of Ye Jingcheng. If it is replaced by another person in charge, let alone 10 million, he may not buy 1 million.
Thinking about the creativity that Ye Jingcheng said, didn't he just fancy the ability of the other party's screenwriter? If Ye Jingcheng is willing to give him the creativity, then he will not be able to take a stake in Green Lantern Entertainment, and this matter will become harmless.
"Cheng Zai, how can you say that we are also a guest and host, you don't want to chisel me hard, right?" Lei Juekun agreed to this matter, but this method is good, but the initiative is in the hands of the other party.
"I have two options in mind." After a pause, Ye Jingcheng said: "The first plan is that I will publish the script, and afterwards I will have 30% of the box office in this city..."
"Impossible!" Lei Juekun immediately vetoed it. His idea is actually very simple, Ye Jingcheng is just a story, he invests manpower and material resources, and even he has to take risks. Why did Ye Jingcheng ask him for thirty percent?
Don't say it's Lei Juekun, even if Ye Jingcheng finds someone else, he still refuses to hear this. This is related to the status of screenwriters, Hong Kong Island is different from Hollywood, and the intellectual property rights of screenwriters are not paid attention to.
You don't want to? Okay, if you don't want to, you can leave. Do you see that behind you, there are still hundreds of people waiting?
Don't say that Lei Juekun disagrees with this plan, in fact, Ye Jingcheng shook his head, saying it just to make a comparison. It's not that he thinks the three ingredients are less red, but that he has waited too long. Since he offered to sell the script, he definitely wanted to get the money in a short time.
Ye Jingcheng raised his V-shaped hand and said: "For the second plan, I will clearly mark the price of the script, and then you will send a professional to identify it." Buy what you think is okay, and keep what you can't. ”
"To put it more clearly." Ye Jingcheng said this too vaguely, even if he clearly marked the price, there must be a range.
"Since it's my script, the price won't be less than one million."
Seeing that Lei Juekun was obviously dissatisfied with the price, Ye Jingcheng opened his mouth again and explained: "Lei Sheng, shouldn't you be confident in me?" If you follow a million scripts, the 10 million you just opened is enough to buy 10 copies. ”
"Even if there is only one film with a box office of more than 10 million, I believe that Lei Sheng will still make money, isn't that the truth?" Lei Juekun closed his eyes and pondered, if it is really like what Ye Jingcheng said, this investment is indeed not too risky.
As long as there is a movie with a box office of more than 10 million, then his investment cost has returned. As for the real money, don't forget that the overseas box office is the big one.
It's just that Ye Jingcheng can really come up with 10 million movies? Or will the other party hand over this script to him? After a long time, Lei Junkun replied: "I won't suppress you with a starting price of one million, but you must set a capped price." ”
"Then it's good to cap two million." Ye Jingcheng looked harmless and said: "Lei Sheng, my movie is still expected to be released in your theater, and this matter is also about my reputation, are you still worried about what tricks I play with you?" ”
Lei Juekun pointed at Ye Jingcheng with his pipe and said, "In the past two days, you will take a script first, and leave other questions until then." ”
……
Next.
Ye Jingcheng met Zheng Wenya and took a car to Yau Ma Tei together. He plans to buy a scooter so that it will be much easier to get anywhere, not to mention ......
Hong Kong Island is not like any auto parts city in China, most of the car dealers here are privately operated, or the general agent repair shop of various brands. Most of the car dealerships are concentrated in Mong Kok and Yau Ma Tei, and the business model is to open on the street front.
chose Zheng Wenya to accompany him, and the other party could help him grow his eyes. Second, the other party's parents wanted to see him, so they went to Zheng's house after buying a car.
Although he had a quarrel with the other party's parents before, Ye Jingcheng still planned to go to this banquet. In fact, the other party also cares about his daughter's lifelong affairs, so his words and deeds will become rude and arrogant.
Now that the two of them have cooked raw rice, Zheng Wenya's parents will never stop it anymore. And at the beginning, Father Zheng looked down on Ye Jingcheng, and he couldn't earn five million in his life, and now a "Yin and Yang Wrong" will not change if he can't do it.
Mother Zhong calculated that he could not make an example, not to mention that he and the Zheng family's parents only quarreled a few words, and he was cautious about this matter too much.
Zheng Wenya turned her head sideways and said with concern: "Ah Cheng, I heard that Zhong Chuhong and Ren Dahua left, there is no problem with the company, right?" ”
"Where did you hear that?" Ye Jingcheng frowned funny and said, "Don't worry, it's not a big problem." ”
"Is it really okay?"
Zheng Wenya didn't believe in this.
After the broadcast of the film "Yin and Yang Wrong", the most popular ones were Zhong Chuhong and Ren Dahua, of course, she herself was one of them.
Now two of the three leading actors have left, and she has other plans of her own. Joined Green Lantern Entertainment to share affairs for Ye Jingcheng, and tried to have as little contact with the film industry as possible in the future.
In terms of posture, she doesn't think she has much advantage, but in terms of handling things and reflexes, she believes that there are not many women who can do this. King Qi Xuan can not have Xia Yingchun, and he must not lose Zhong Wuyan.
Now that Ye Jingcheng's "Yin and Yang Wrong" is successful, the three leading actors who have been praised exist in name only, and it is normal for Zheng Wenya to be worried. The loss of a popular leading actor is equivalent to the loss of an ace.
Ye Jingcheng's identity is not what it used to be, and his next move may attract the attention of the society. Now that he is praised so highly by the media, you can imagine how much impact it will have on his future if there is a reversal.
So she felt that she should join Green Lantern Entertainment and share affairs for Ye Jingcheng as Zhong Wuyan.
"Ha, I didn't find you so angry before." Ye Jingcheng was very confident, and asked rhetorically: "Do you believe it or not, I can pick up any person I can pick him (her)." ”
Zheng Wenya's small eyes completely responded with three words: I don't believe it.
Well, I'll prove it to you. Ye Jingcheng's eyes fell in front of the door of a certain car dealership, where a big girl was promoting the car dealership, Ye Jingcheng waved and shouted: "That sister, come over here." ”
