Three days after Xu Qing took the script, Qi Ming got the exact amount of money he needed to shoot the undefeated East of the Proud Jianghu.

Close to 400 million! And it's still the most conservative budget.

Seeing this number, although Qi Ming was very surprised, it was still expected, because some movies with big special effects on the Blue Planet could not be released without more than a billion.

However, thinking of the investment gap between movies and television, Qi Ming still feels that the gap is really too big.

For a TV series, the high investment is about 200 million, and the big investment drama with a super luxury lineup will not exceed 400 million.

But now just one movie needs 400 million, which is still the most conservative budget.

A TV series is basically more than 30 episodes, so the cost of one episode is not very high, but the time of a movie is also the time of three TV series, but the amount is a hundred times higher than that of three TV series, and the gap between them can be seen.

After a rough look at the amount plan given by Xu Qing, Qi Ming found that these funds were indeed similar to the flow of funds from those film investments on the Blue Planet.

The first major category of funds is exported to artists.

The second largest category of funds is spent on equipment.

The third category of funds is spent on staff.

The rest of the money is spent on post-processing and so on.

After browsing the actors recommended by Xu Qing, Qi Ming couldn't help but sigh that this movie was handed over to Xu Qing and was really the right person.

Among the Linghu Chong candidates recommended by Xu Qing to himself, the most important thing to introduce is the relatively quiet kung fu film actor Lian Bicheng in Huaguo, this Lianbi City Qi Ming has understood, born in chivalrous kung fu movies, and became popular as soon as he debuted, which can be described as a household name. However, because the chivalrous culture has sunset in the past two years, the drama road of Lianbi City is getting narrower and narrower, and his attention is getting lower and lower.

From this point of view alone, this Lianbi City is very similar to the kung fu superstar surnamed Li, who is a household name in the ancient Chinese country on the blue planet, and they are all a mess that became popular as soon as they debuted. But then the fame declined rapidly.

Qi Ming, the kung fu superstar surnamed Li on the blue planet, is familiar with it, a Shaolin temple made him popular all over the country, but then there was a relatively sluggish period, because his development in the West was not very smooth.

It wasn't until later that he co-starred with Xu Laowei as Wong Fei Hung that he once again attracted the attention of a large number of people, and then became a kung fu superstar once, and was known as the king of kung fu, tied with another kung fu superstar for fame.

The same is true of Lianbi City in this world. Lianbi City and the King of Kung Fu on the Blue Planet have similar experiences.

In addition to the similarity of experience, some of the martial arts movements and demeanor of this Lianbi City are also the same as that kung fu superstar.

"He is worthy of being the most creative director of the adaptation, and he is also very keen in the selection of roles!" Qi Ming said secretly in his heart, and then with a stroke of his pen, he put a tick on the name of Lianbi City.

Whether it is in the spirit of being responsible for the quality of the film, or out of a tribute to the superstar in the other world that makes him admire, the protagonist of this movie will be Lian Bicheng!

After reading the role of Ling Hu Chong. Qi Ming surrendered his gaze to the role of Dongfang Undefeated.

At this glance, Qi Ming suddenly felt that his spirit had reached its peak.

"Qing Yuxia, debuted at the age of seventeen. Now 22 years old, she has starred in many films during this time, but her acting skills have been criticized and mixed, but I have seen her men's appearance, although it is only less than three minutes. But in my opinion, the movie version of the East is undefeated because of her! Highly recommended. ”

Silently reciting Xu Qing's recommendation to Qing Yuxia, Qi Ming hurriedly found Qing Yuxia's photo, after seeing Qing Yuxia's photo, Qi Ming only felt that his heartbeat was accelerating. It's like a war drum being beaten violently.

"It's too similar!" After Qi Ming saw the photos, he only had these three words in his heart, and even Qi Ming was wondering if he had returned to the Blue Planet because he was undefeated in the East of the Laughing Proud Rivers and Lakes.

didn't say anything, Qi Ming directly ticked Qing Yuxia's name.

Looking at the world that is still as beautiful as a flower, and the incomparably young Sister Xia, Qi Ming suddenly felt that his mouth was a little dry.

After drinking two sips of water to relieve it, Qi Ming couldn't help laughing, being able to sign a director like Xu Qing with a vicious eye, Qi Ming felt that he had picked up a treasure, at this moment, Qi Ming decided to show all the essence of Xu Lao Wei on the blue planet through Xu Qing's hands.

In this world, there should also be an old monster Xu!

"Qing Yuxia, just two years older than me." Qi Ming had some rippling secrets in his heart, and then made up his mind that he would definitely see this Qing Yuxia with his own eyes when the time came.

After watching these two important roles, Qi Ming began to look at the role of Ren Yingying, which Xu Qing recommended to his actors.

It's okay not to look at it, but at first glance, Qi Ming felt as if his breath was suffocating.

"I really admire these people that Xu Qing found there!" Qi Ming worshiped Xu Qing at this time, because Xu Qing of Ren Yingying's role was looking for the Guan / Zhilin on the Blue Planet, but the one in this world is not called Guan / Zhilin, it is called Guan Linlang, and Qing Yuxia is also in her early twenties, except for the age and name, the others are exactly the same as the Guan / Zhilin on the Blue Planet.

"Convinced, it's good that this drama is handed over to you, otherwise I would have so many surprises there......" Qi Ming said secretly in his heart to Xu Qing's five bodies.

Under the pressure of the surging in his heart, Qi Ming continued to look at the list of actors, and finally found that except for some small roles, some important roles are almost the same as the actors in this movie on the Blue Planet.

Seeing these actors, Qi Ming couldn't help but look forward to what kind of sensation it would cause once the undefeated release of the East of the Proud Rivers and Lakes would cause.

Now that the chivalrous culture of the Chinese film industry is setting in the west mountain, when the time comes, Qi Ming can't imagine the scene that will appear at that time.

After reading the list of actors in his hand, Qi Ming couldn't help but sigh that everything seemed to be arranged by providence, everything was moving in a certain direction, and he was the person who was given the mission to push the direction forward.

And his mission is to excavate all outstanding artists, add wisps of colorful colors to the world's entertainment industry, and lead the world's entertainment industry to move forward slowly.

Took a deep breath. Qi Ming handed over the confirmed list of actors to Pu Yu, and then instructed Pu Yu to arrange a meeting with him by the personnel of the film and television investment company.

The actors have been determined, and now as long as the funds are in place, they can start filming, and at present, Qi Ming can come up with less than 30 million liquidity, which is still the funds from the sales of the Condor Shooting, Baifa and Xiaoao's physical books, and the income from the online broadcast copyright of the white-haired TV series and the income from the premiere. Basically all of them are devoted to the TV series of Xiao Ao.

Mo Fan and Xu Qing also gave the exact news, a total of 70 million yuan of investment can be pulled, and this 70 million funds will account for 10% of the net profit income of Xiaoao Film at that time.

Slightly totaled, there is still 300 million yuan short of 400 million initial funds, so Qi Ming needs to get more than 300 million funds from these three film and television investment companies.

Two days later, Qi Ming met Zheng Xin, the manager of Phaeton Film and Television Investment Company, at a café.

"Mr. Qi is really getting bigger and bigger now, not only setting up a studio, but also creating a longitudinal literature network. Now they are all starting to get involved in the film and television industry. Zheng Xin said very old-fashionedly, and then gently wiped the outside of the coffee cup with his hand.

"Compared to the big Phaeton, my studio is not worth mentioning." Qi Ming said with a smile, his words were also very old-fashioned, not at all like a young man about twenty years old.

Zheng Xin looked at Qi Ming's actions and conversations, and couldn't help but think a lot of highly of Qi Ming in his heart, when he hadn't met Qi Ming, he had the impression of Qi Ming as a literati with a bit of a temper. At this time, after a brief conversation, Zheng Xin quickly put away his original thoughts about Qi Ming.

"This is our company's contract. Mr. Qi glanced at it. Zheng Xin took the contract from the assistant and put it on the glass table in front of him and said.

Pu Yu picked up the contract from the glass table, then began to read it carefully, and after reading it, he began to explain it to Qi Ming in a whisper.

After listening to Pu Yu's explanation, Qi Ming himself also took a cursory look at the contract, and the rough result was that Phaeton could be in the limelight with 200 million funds, but it needed to be 60% of the net profit at that time. If Xiaoao's movie loses money, Qi Ming needs to change hands and make up for it by selling Xiaoao's full copyright.

Knowing this, Qi Ming couldn't help but secretly scold these businessmen for being really black, they don't have to care about anything after an investment, they just wait to receive the money. At that time, if you lose money, you can still get some peripheral copyrights, even if you lose money, then these investment companies can't lose too much, and the most loss is yourself.

And this so-called full copyright peripherals are not the peripherals of Xiaoao movies, but the peripherals of the full copyright of the book [Xiaoao Jianghu].

"Forty percent of the net profit, if I lose money, I will let go of some of the surrounding copyrights that I am proud of." Qi Ming opened his mouth and said, his voice was very calm.

For investment, Qi Ming is not very clear, but Pu Yu is clear, and the information that Pu Yu gave Qi Ming is that compared with the total investment of 200 million yuan, Xiao Ao can only get a profit income of 3.5% at most, and Zheng Xin directly wants to add 60%, obviously wanting to black Qi Ming.

Although the businessman is mercenary, Qi Ming doesn't like this kind of black method of killing him, so Qi Ming's favor towards Zheng Xin has dropped a lot at this time, but despite this, Qi Ming is still very sincere in opening forty percent of the profit income.

After hearing this, Zheng Xin shook his head and smiled and said, "Mr. Qi's pen name is worth more than 100 million, and Xiao Ao's name is worth more than 100 million, so our company's investment is 200 million, but the proportion of income after this investment is at least 60 percent, and I need to report to the head office if it is less, but I can cancel part of the funds without authorization, so as to offset the forty percent of the profits you offer." ”

"I'm very sincere!" Qi Ming looked at Zheng Xin and said, his tone was full of sincerity.

Zheng Xin looked at Qi Ming's expression, and then said, "Fifty percent!" ”

Qi Ming didn't answer, but looked at Zheng Xin calmly.

Looking at Qi Ming's expression, Zheng Xin motioned to the assistant next to him to ask the company's senior management on the phone.

Soon after, the assistant said two words in Zheng Xin's ear, and Zheng Xin said after listening to it, "I like Xiaoao this book very much, but I really can't miss it." ”

Qi Ming didn't say anything when he heard this, but got up and stretched out his hand, smiling.

Zheng Xin saw Qi Ming's expression, and immediately felt a burst of joy in his heart, as the manager of Phaeton, he naturally had a lot of right to speak, and how much profit he made was completely up to him, and the phone call just now was just an illusion.

Now that Zheng Xin saw Qi Ming's actions and expressions, Zheng Xin immediately understood that he was going to make a lot of money if he didn't get it right, and at this moment Zheng Xin couldn't help but sigh, "Xiaoao this book, I haven't read it at all, I just know that the IP of this book is very popular, what if you Qi Ming writes well?" Aren't you stunned in other industries? About 30% of the profit was mentioned by me to 50%, and you still have to smile at me and thank Dade. ”

However, just when Zheng Xin was proud in his heart, Zheng Xin's assistant was about to take out a pen to sign a contract for both parties, Qi Ming's words instantly made the two stand in place.

"Looking forward to our next collaboration! I have often heard about the large company of Phaeton, and I have a good impression, but this cooperation, I am afraid that I will not be able to work with your company. Qi Ming shook hands with Zheng Xin and said, his words had been flat for a long time, but he still had a smile on his face.

After speaking, Qi Ming said again, "Farewell." ”

Then he left the café with Rainbow and settled the bill as he left.

Qi Ming left for a while, Zheng Xin was still in a state of confusion, he had been doing this for so many years, and this was the first time he had encountered this situation.

"Manager, they're gone." Zheng Xin's assistant spoke.

"I can see it." Zheng Xin said in a low tone, then took out his mobile phone and dialed a call.

"How's it going?" A male voice came from the other end of the phone, and the voice was a middle-aged man.

"It didn't work out, this person's personality is the same as we thought, and his temper is too impulsive." Zheng Xin said.

"It's just right that I didn't talk about it, I just asked the financial side to make statistics, our investment in chivalrous movies in recent years has basically been a loss, and it doesn't have much effect to barely recover some peripheral copyrights, although this Xiaoao is very popular, but who can say exactly what will be put on the big screen?" The man on the other end of the line said.

"I also took this into account, so I asked for fifty percent of the profit share, but this Qi Ming is obviously a little arrogant and dissatisfied with my decision." Zheng Xin said.

"I know very well and agree with your vision, after all, no matter how well the chivalrous movie sells, what can it do? In the end, it is at most a small amount of money. The male voice on the other end of the phone said, and then the male voice said, "In the past two years, the popular emotional big IP era will also prepare to shoot film and television, and intend to invest in us, you follow up and try to win, emotional movies have been very popular in the past two years, the investment is not large, but the results are very high." ”

After hearing this, Zheng Xin nodded and said, "It's been connected, and it's basically been negotiated, although we have made a lot of profits, but in the case of high income from emotional movies, we will still make a lot of money." ”

"I don't have to worry about you doing things, then this is the case first."

"Yes."

Hanging up the phone, Zheng Xin said to the assistant, "I received the news from Huafei Film and Television Investment Company before, Qi Ming also found them to pull investment, you will later sort out a copy of the investment and return ratio of chivalrous movies in the past two years and send it to Huafei Film and Television Investment Company, by the way, ask me who the director of Xiaoao's movie is, I got the news that it seems to be Xu Qing, if it is really him, I will also send his information over, although Huafei Film and Television Investment Company knows Xu Qing, but I don't mind giving them a "grand" introduction. ”

The assistant beside Zheng Xin nodded after hearing this, Zheng Xin's meaning was already very clear, as an assistant, he could go home and farm if he didn't know it.

"Qi Ming, just a bookwriter, cross me, I see you cross me? Business things, you're still too tender! If you want to attract investment, you should take more curves, this is the price of crossing with me. Zheng Xin said with some anger in his heart, although he was already in his thirties, he still felt very unhappy when he thought of Qi Ming's demeanor when he left at this time. (To be continued.) )
