Chapter 66: Uncle Eight Is Old?

Yongsheng has had a very bad life in the past few years, and after "Asura", he no longer dares to invest in large-scale projects at will.

Although the relationship with Xihong TV is not bad, but, the relationship is good, and it can't be eaten, its own star-making ability is too poor, and several TVs invested independently were reluctantly bought by Xihong TV Station, and the low ratings are scary...

In the end, it can only be sold to local stations and online video companies!

By last year, only three online dramas were produced in the whole year!

Gu Nianxi remembered that her mouth was bubbling, and she still insisted on going to work with a big belly.

However, it's useless, Xihong City itself is not a place where film and television talents gather, and most of the scripts hoarded by the company are from unknown screenwriters.

Learn from others to buy IP at a high price, and after buying it, I found that the IP is not working!

Shoot it, other TV stations may not be willing to buy it, sell it to online video, and can only sell it half and give it away...

Which online video doesn't have a self-made drama now?

TV series produced by others, digest them by yourself!

As a result, Yongsheng's life became more and more difficult.

can only rely on its sixty movie theaters, barely maintaining a low position...

At the beginning of the year, the head of a Diane company came to the door and said that Netflix wanted to produce "Kublai Khan", and the director was Brian Kirk...

"No, such a simple scam..."

“… We checked the bottom of the nuclear price company, and they do have a background in North America, and have participated in the production of several films, although they are all low-budget productions..."

Xiao Jiu was a little aggrieved.

"And then?"

“… We also checked Netflix, and we do have the intention of making "Kublai Khan"..."

Xiaobai frowned: "Where did you find out?" ”

"We hired detectives from North America... In fact, there is no need to hire at all, Netflix does have plans to produce "Kublai Khan" and "Genghis Khan"..."

"So, you're hooked?"

"The main Yangtze also invested 30 million US dollars..."

Yangzi, Huang Shengyi's husband...

"Okay, what did Uncle Eight say?"

“… My dad said that if you eat a trench, you will grow wise..."

Xiao Jiu was a little embarrassed.

"You ask Xiaoxi to go to Li Yundi tomorrow, just say what I said, the 'Kung Fu Universe' project, let her invest 20%!"

“… No, I mean, can you do me a favor and make a movie..."

Xiaobai was silent for a long time: "My plans for the next three years are full, and I really don't have time!" ”

"Then we have a new person..."

"Xiao Jiu, let Eighth Uncle tell me!"

……

Once the entertainment industry is linked to capital, many things become natural!

How is capital laundered?

Set up a pyramid investment structure to attract people at the bottom of the pyramid to invest, then take their money and pay back a small portion so that they think they are getting a huge and good return, and then tell their friends...

Typical Ponzi scheme!

Moreover, in this way, win the trust of more people, so that these people can come up with more investment, especially when throwing out a big project, those who have won his trust will invest in his project several times more than in the past, and then...

And then through financial means, with this money disappeared forever...

You can't find any way to sue him!

There are such people in the circle, and the most famous is of course Li Meng, the promoter of the China Wheelchair Angel Public Welfare Association!

This gentleman is good friends with many celebrities, and he is indeed the founder of a non-governmental public welfare organization!

In addition to her philanthropic activities, she also invests in film and television production.

……

Actually, according to Xiaobai's thoughts, he and Yongsheng are already in the past.

Yes, in the initial stage, Uncle Eight helped a lot.

The investments in "Waste Wood Brothers" and "Knocking on the Door of Heaven" were all given by them, including Tsing Yi Society, the eighth uncle still retains 20% of the shares of Tsing Yi Society, and last year's dividend was as high as 18 million, which has already paid off!

"Asura", Yongsheng lost more than 100 million, if it wasn't for Xiaobai's reminder, the loss would have been even more!

Last year, Yongsheng's book loss reached more than 80 million...

I went to Cannes and bought a bunch of films, and then found that it couldn't be released!

This year, I wanted to tighten up my investment, make only one movie at most, two TV series, and then pie from the sky!

Netflix project!

Let's put it this way, Bai Xiaofei Studio undertook "Li Shimin", its market price has directly increased by more than half, and industry insiders believe that if the studio chooses to go public, its market price is worth at least 30 billion!

Gu Nianxi is already very cautious, how can there be pig teammates, Yangzi's Juli Film and Television is 30 million US dollars, if his own investment is slow, there will be no meat to eat!

So, grit your teeth!

50 million is such an investment!

Uncle Eight obviously knows about this, although he keenly feels that there is something wrong with this matter, but he has the idea that the opportunity cannot be lost...

This is also the reason why Chinese businessmen are the most easily deceived, they are very greedy and bold!

Uncle Lei said that pigs can take off when they stand on the tuyere, but how many people have the courage to stand on the tuyere?

Hanging up the phone, Xiaobai is a little sad...

The eighth uncle on the other end of the phone almost begged him to make a movie for Yongsheng in a begging tone...

Alas, selling a house is selling very well, why do you want to go to the troubled waters of the entertainment industry?

Lao Wang is now a low-key person, and he no longer dares to say anything like 'set a small goal first'.

After taking a bath, the young lady was applying skin care products, and when she saw Xiaobai sitting silent on the sofa, she didn't quite know what was going on: "... What's wrong? ”

"Yongsheng they have been deceived!"

“… Is it? How much have you been scammed? ”

"Fifty million..."

“… 50 million is not too much, let them have a longer memory, don't always think that you can play in the film and television industry if you have money! ”

"Dollars!"

“… I... 50 million dollars? ”

The young lady was also a little surprised, this is not a small number...

Many film companies have made profits for a few years!

“… What do they want to do? ”

The young lady suddenly became vigilant.

“… No, it's like asking me to help direct a movie..."

"Didn't sign a contract?"

“… Contract? What contract? ”

Xiaobai suddenly woke up!

Isn't this a set?

If Xiaobai agreed to help Yongsheng direct the movie, would they use this as a name to make money?

Xiaobai's reputation is very valuable!

It's like Lechuang Entertainment in the original time and space, Xu Laowei signed "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and Zhang Zhao circled a bunch of capital...

Xiaobai's name is much better than that of Xu Laowei!

After the movie is released, if you do some means, the overseas copyright will belong to them!

The main reason why Yongsheng has been able to persist in recent years is that it has opened up overseas channels, and many overseas exports of film and television companies have to pass through them.

And then, who is hurt?

Of course, it's Bai Xiaofei himself!

If the investment does not receive the due return, the investor will only look for the most famous one!

This trick is really clever, and it can be exchanged for tens of millions of capital...

Gu Nianxi and Xiao Jiu would definitely not have imagined that only the eighth uncle, an old and cunning guy, could have such a mind!

Uncle Eight is old?
