Chapter 123 Joining Forces

Shao Tycoon groaned slightly, and then said slowly: "I mean so, the two sides will share fifty percent of the investment, and the box office will be divided in half at that time, I don't know what Mr. Gu thinks?" ”

"Oh, if that's the case, I'm not opposed to cooperating with Boss Shao."

Gu Weiqi changed his words and said: "However, in order to ensure the excellent quality of the filmed films and create a high box office, I require that my company occupy a dominant position when making films. Boss Shao should know that since the opening of our company, the films invested in have never lost money. ”

"This ......"

Shao Tycoon shrugged his eyebrows, knowing that Gu Weiqi was telling the truth, and this time he cooperated with Gu Weiqi, in addition to dealing with "Jiahe" and "Xin Yicheng", in the final analysis, it was actually to make money, so he quickly agreed: "Yes, but as far as Shao someone knows, Boss Gu, you are very good at writing scripts, so I hope this script can be written by you yourself, Mr. Gu." ”

Gu Weiqi said with a smile: "Since Boss Shao said it, then I will reluctantly accept it." However, I asked for an additional 15% of the box office profit, and it was still the net profit of running to the theater share and taxes. Boss Shao shouldn't have any opinion on this, right? ”

Shao tycoon gasped, 15% of the net profit? That's a bit too big an appetite, isn't it? You must know that the life of a screenwriter in Xiangjiang is very difficult now, and in the final analysis, the income is less. The general script will give a maximum of 35,000 to the Shao family, 8,000 to the more refined ones, and 32,000 to the death.

But now Gu Weiqi wants 15% of the net profit when he opens his mouth, which makes him feel like a lion opening his mouth. Naturally, he disagreed, and when his face sank, he shook his head and waved his hand like a rattle: "No, no, Boss Gu, don't joke." 15% box office net profit is too much, please forgive someone for not being able to promise you! ”

"Boss Shao, don't be busy refusing yet." Gu Weiqi smiled, and continued: "Boss Shao should know the 'Plan A' that is now popular in Jiahe, right?" ”

"I heard about it, but someone didn't go to see it."

"I wrote the screenplay, and the requirement for my cooperation with Jiahe was to take 15% of the net profit at the box office. And I didn't invest a penny in that film, and now that the two of us are investing, I am in the spirit of friendly cooperation, and I still ask for an extra 15% of the box office profits, which is not too much strictly speaking. ”

"You wrote the film?" Shao Daheng was slightly taken aback, and then realized that "Jiahe" and "Donglai Company" had already cooperated, and he was still in the dark for a long time, and he didn't know it. However, let Gu Weiqi extract 15% of the net profit, but he felt panicked, and he was very reluctant.

"That's right."

Gu Weiqi nodded, and continued: "Compared to Jiahe, Boss Shao still takes advantage. The most important thing is that I can guarantee that the movies I write will be a sure thing as long as they are shot in strict accordance with the screenwriter. I don't think I need to say more about this, Boss Shao can think about it. ”

"This ......" Shao Tycoon frowned and hesitated, to be honest, he really wanted to cooperate with Gu Weiqi, but 15% of the net profit at the box office, it was all real money, with his lonely character, he couldn't make up his mind for a while. However, he also knew that the scripts written by the other party had always been good, and as he said, the department was basically sure to make money and not lose money.

Gu Weiqi glanced at Shao Tycoon and continued: "Now my name is a golden sign in the industry, I believe that if I shout casually, countless people will cooperate with me." ”

Shao Tycoon weighed it, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, Boss Gu, you don't need to say more, I promise you this condition." ”

"Boss Shao's decision is undoubtedly very wise, and I believe that the two of us will definitely cause a sensation in the film industry if they join forces. But there is another point, I hope that Boss Shao can agree. ”

"What other conditions?" Shao Tycoon's face sank, and he said unhappily: "Boss Gu, you don't want to make an inch." ”

"Don't worry, Boss Shao, what I want to say is actually very simple for Boss Shao, that is, to use Shao's Cinema for filming. No problem, right? ”

Shao Yifu thought that Gu Weiqi was going to make any excessive requests, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that he was just using Shao's Cinema, this was indeed a very simple matter for him, just a matter of words. Therefore, his eyes flashed, and he nodded: "Yes, I can promise you this." However, the venue fee must be paid, after all, Shao's Cinema was jointly funded and built by me and several brothers, and it is not my personal private property, which I hope Boss Gu understands. ”

"No problem." Gu Weiqi nodded, and scolded secretly, "Old fox, you really don't want to suffer, what is not your personal private property, is it obviously good?" However, he didn't make it clear that even if he built a set elsewhere to shoot a movie, he still had to pay for the venue.

Shao Tycoon showed a smile at this time, and continued: "Then let's talk about specific cooperation now, I don't know if Mr. Gu has a good script on hand now?" ”

"Not yet."

Gu Weiqi shook his head, he wouldn't tell the truth to the other party, the other party is a human spirit who has been rolling in the mall for decades, and the matter of discussing cooperation with him must be real, otherwise he may be calculated if he is not careful, and then changed the conversation and said: "But I have some ideas in my heart." ”

"Oh, what thoughts?" Shao Daheng asked with interest, "Why don't Mr. Gu say it?" ”

But all people don't cherish things that are too easy to get, Gu Weiqi understands this truth, so he muttered: "My idea is not mature, let me think about it and reply to Boss Shao." ”

"Okay, I hope Boss Gu will come up with the script as soon as possible, and we will sign the contract as soon as possible and finalize the cooperation."

"No problem, Mr. Gu just listen to my good news. In three days at most, I'll come up with a shooting plan. ”

"That's it, Shao someone will go first."

Gu Weiqi nodded, and then Shao Tycoon told Zeng Xiang to pay, and then turned to leave, and the former sent him out of the door and turned back to his seat. At the same time, Zhao Yuzhi, who went to the bathroom, actually ran to the second floor, and upstairs she saw Shao Yifu leaving, and she estimated that she had finished talking to Gu Weiqi before walking downstairs.

Gu Weiqi stood up, looked at her and said with a smile: "Miss Zhao, come and sit." ”

Zhao Yuzhi also wanted to leave with him, but considering that it was not appropriate to leave like this, he walked over out of politeness and sat down in his seat again. The most important thing is that the other party is a young and promising big boss, not only holding a thriving movie, but also running a highly competitive TV company in the industry, and having a good relationship with him is a good thing for himself.

Gu Weiqi said slowly: "I heard that Miss Zhao has been in trouble recently, right? ”

Zhao Yuzhi is now riddled with scandals, and all kinds of gossip are flying all over the sky, so that she can't go to the company to work normally, and the trouble is indeed not small. Especially her husband Huang Hanwei not only did not comfort her at this moment, but also fought a cold war with her. Mother-in-law Huang's mother spoke even more viciously, sneering, and even scolded her for being a water-based poplar, a slut who ruined the family, making her almost unable to live with her husband.

Gu Weiqi is not opening which pot to mention, but when it comes to this matter, Zhao Yuzhi wants to shed tears, bites his lip lightly, nods, sighs and says: "Yes, Mr. Gu's news is really well-informed." ”

"I said I have a concern about Miss Zhao, do you need me to help you solve it?"

"How can you help me?"

"It's very simple, buy up the tabloids that created scandals and smeared you, and then publish an apology statement to set the record straight. Then drive the guy who courted you out of Xiangjiang, so that my troubles will be solved soon. ”

"This ......" Zhao Yuzhi's expression moved, and she pondered in her heart, if this is the case, it can indeed solve the trouble, but many tabloids have reported her scandal, if they are all acquired, how much will it cost, although she is a little moved, but after all, she shook her head, you must know that she is not related to the other party, and owes such a big favor, if it reaches her husband's ears at that time, it will be unclear.

"What? What are Ms. Zhao's concerns? ”

Zhao Yuzhi didn't answer his words, but asked rhetorically: "Why do you want to help me?" ”

Gu Weiqi wanted to say, "You are the goddess in my mind, the goddess is in trouble, I naturally have to help solve it", but in the end he said: "How can I say it, we are friends now, right?" I really can't bear to see your sad face. ”

Zhao Yuzhi smiled, but the smile was very bitter. But there was a little touch in my heart, compared with my husband's actions, I felt that Gu Weiqi was much better than her husband, at least the other party knew that she felt sorry for herself. But as for the husband, since all kinds of tabloids have blackened him, he has often been away from home, and he comes back once in a while, and he is also sneering with a gloomy face, which really breaks his heart.

Gu Weiqi continued: "Friends who know me know that my personality is very enthusiastic, and I have always spared no effort to help my friends. Besides, those tabloids smeared Miss Zhao to the point of filth, which I can't tolerate. You don't need to say it, I'll help you solve this matter. ”

Zhao Yuzhi hurriedly said: "Forget it, Mr. Gu, first of all, I want to thank you for your kindness." It's just that there are many newspapers that smear me, you can't buy all the tabloids, right? ”

"Why not?" Gu Weiqi stared at the goddess steadily, and said solemnly: "As long as I can make you happy, even if I spend a little more money to buy all the newspapers, I will not hesitate to do it." These words were loud and clear, showing great determination.

However, while the two were talking, a young man in the corner wearing a big-brimmed hat and a black mole on the corner of his mouth was holding a small camera and pressing the shutter at the two of them to take a sneak peek. Needless to say, this is the "paparazzi" of a tabloid again, in fact, this person is Zhao Youcai, a gold medal reporter of "entertainment gossip style", because he is well-informed, good at tracking reports and digging up all kinds of gossip news, so he has also won a nickname called "PHS" in the media industry.

Although "PHS" doesn't seem too old in grade, he has been in the industry for many years and has rich experience in tracking and candid photography. has concocted a number of explosive scandals in the entertainment industry, and can be called the "paparazzi pioneer". Especially in order to attract attention and get high bonuses, this product has always been unscrupulous to track and shoot, especially when it comes to reporting scandals about celebrities in the entertainment industry, it is even more unscrupulous and deeply hated by people in the entertainment industry.

But he doesn't care so much, especially some time ago, he was tempted by a friend to play in Omen, gambled, but lost all his money, and owed a high amount of loan sharks. In order to pay off the loan shark as soon as possible, he went around looking for friends to borrow money, but when he had money in this real metropolis, maybe his friends still corresponded with him, and when he didn't have money, his relatives and friends avoided him like a plague, and he didn't raise much money at all.

Just when he was panicked and helpless, he happened to hear that Huang Jinrong and Zhao Yuzhi openly showed their love to her during the filming of "Dragon and Treasure Hunting", and he realized that his opportunity to make a fortune had come, so he concocted a series of scandals one after another. Especially in order to make the report more convincing, so as to win more eyeballs and get more bonuses, I have been following Zhao Yuzhi during this time, in order to secretly take valuable photos, and what I pursue is the effect of "pictures and truth".

It's a pity that Zhao Yuzhi has been plagued by scandals during this time, and he has been closed to the door, he has been booking for more than a month, and there is still no way to take any valuable photos. Until today, Zhao Yuzhi received a call from Zeng Xiang and asked her to come over to drink afternoon tea with her, in order to leave a good impression on the boss and Gu Weiqi, she dressed up and was discovered by him as soon as she went out. He realized that the opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time had come, and it was exactly what he expected.

However, when Shao Tycoon was there before, because he took into account the identity and energy of the other party, he didn't dare to take out the camera easily and take pictures secretly. And he didn't know about the dark forces such as the "Hong Ying Society" and the "Dragon King Mercenary Group" that Gu Weiqi secretly supported, so as soon as Shao Daheng left, he recklessly took pictures secretly. And secretly rejoiced in my heart, if I took such a powerful photo this time, I would definitely be able to get a high prize again.
