Chapter 40: Please enter the urn

Flickering candlelight flickered, the surrounding walls were covered with mysterious murals, beautiful waiters walked back and forth, and the streets outside were bustling with people.

The old era is over, peace is giving birth to a new civilization that has never been seen before, and the power and guns of the past are being replaced by a recognized power, that is, money.

When Xiao Lizhu came, she didn't think that Shen Yu would refuse her proposal, and even if she refused, it was only because her conditions were not good enough, not because she was not moved.

Being able to package and go public, and then go to the financial market of the Ming Empire to make money, is the dream pursuit of people in any country in the world.

"I don't know about finance, and I don't want to touch this, Changfeng Film and Television Company will not be listed in the next three or five years."

"Are you sure?"

Xiao Li paused for a moment.

"Well, I'm very satisfied with my current life, such as this restaurant, I think the taste is better than those big restaurants, the car I personally drive is also an ordinary car, and money is just a tool for me, not a pursuit.

Sister Xiao, you are a bit similar to me, the price of your clothes is lower than mine, which is actually very good, isn't it? ”

Shen Yu said politely and changed his name to Xiao Lizhu.

"People say I don't believe it, but you ......"

Xiao Lizhu's clothes were discounted from department stores, and there were no accessories on her hands and neck, and she and Shen Yu sat in the restaurant, enjoying the happiness of getting together rather than the charm of money.

"Well, money is just a tool."

Xiao Lizhu agreed with Shen Yu's words.

The first two movies, carefully calculated, Shen Yu did not make money.

The godfather's main investment was twenty investors, and they divided a lot of profits according to the contract, and Shen Yu personally became famous, and he still owed a sum after he knew the company's debts - after all, the payment was slow.

By the way, isn't Changfeng Film and Television Company frozen with 10 million funds?

The money was unfrozen a month ago, and on the day it was unfrozen, Shen Yu donated it to set up a charitable foundation, and it was an anonymous donation, the outside world did not know, the news media did not report on it, and Xiao Lizhu also learned about it through the bank settlement system.

If someone attacks Shen Yu with an underworld background, and Shen Yu releases this fact, then the situation will be reversed - he will say that the money is innocent, but I want to break with the past, so I will donate the money to those who need it, and I hope everyone will stop insulting his brother, thank you.

You see, how beautiful people are to do things?

This donation completely washed away Shen Yu's past.

Later, when filming Rescue Private Gordon, he also used the same investment method as last time, with an investment limit of 500,000 yuan, and this time he attracted a full 36 investors, and Shen Yu didn't pay a penny, and he occupied 20% of the amount as a director technology investment.

This investment contract is similar to many investment contracts in the industry, and some directors even only need to be paid, not dividends, etc., but Shen Yuren's family is really particular about what they do.

With an investment of 30 million yuan, no straw hat of 2,000 yuan, and no parasol of tens of thousands of yuan, I really spent it and finished the movie in the shortest time.

After the movie was filmed, the investors were happy, and even everyone felt embarrassed, and the lion's share was given to the investors.

This is not the last time the godfather was in the movie, at that time Shen Yu was poor and had no reputation and no money, this time, it was Shen Yu who really gave money to everyone, and the money he earned, from any point of view, he lost.

"Well, then, what do you want?"

"I ...... Actually, I don't want anything, the main thing is that I want to realize my dream, otherwise I will just take a leave and go to the Caribbean to rest......"

There is no hatred between the two of them, and when they are alone, there will be no fierce contradictions, everyone is a tiger, why bother to learn to toss like a chicken and a duck?

"Don't mention the matter of shareholding, I'm also a happy person, my next movie, the estimated investment is still about 30 million, this time I will contribute 10 million, and you will contribute 10 million for the rest, and I will find another investor."

"Why did you hang yourself on the tree of Changfeng Film and Television Company?"

Xiao Lizhu looked a little strange.

"Your investors, you've given them a total of five or six times the return, and you're already worthy of them in any way. The box office of The Godfather is already 80 million, and the box office of Saving Private Gordon is expected to be 230 million, which is still not the data before it was taken off the shelves.

The quality of the two films is comparable, but the latter earns more than three times as much as the former.

The difference between this is that I helped you communicate the Daming market, and it was released in ten countries at the same time, and opened up the global joint.

You don't love money, but you need money to make movies, and if you want to master the shooting of movies completely, you need a lot of money!

Don't think that if you give so many benefits to investors, they will obey you, and if you are wrong, they will be even more insatiable.

They want to stuff people in, they want a bigger share, they dislike you and Zhu Yourong for having a conflict, they want to force you to make Zhu Yourong apologize......"

Xiao Lizhu said with a smile, and what she said was the truth.

"So, what about you?"

"I ...... I can get Zhu Yourong and you to settle their suspicions (she doesn't know the inside story), but I want the full investment in this movie. You don't have to invest a penny, your next movie, which is the third part of the sword you said, is fully invested by Universal and you enjoy a 30% dividend. ”

"So good?"

Shen Yu was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, it's better to cooperate with a group of people, it's better to cooperate with one person, if the quality of your movie can be similar to the first two, I can guarantee you a box office of more than 300 million."

"Oh, I didn't expect Sister Xiao to draw a big pie, such a good condition, I don't take a little risk, so there must be a lot of conditions, right?"

"Yes......"

Xiao Lizhu nodded.

Film investment is actually a very unprofitable industry, even big directors will have Waterloo, it is normal to lose money in a few movies in a row, Shen Yu has also had genius directors before two or three movies became popular, and then hit the street all the way to no one's interest.

This is also why many actors and directors in another time and space, no matter how popular they are, will not make films on their own, because the losses are too miserable.

She took out the document and handed it to Shen Yu.

However, Shen Yu shook his head and didn't look at it.

"That's it, thank you Sister Xiao for being willing to invest in me this time, I don't take advantage of Sister Xiao, my new film will be a joint venture between you and me, the estimated capital is 30 million, I will invest 10 million, and the rest will be completed by Sister Xiao, if you want to add, the total amount will not exceed 40 million.

The estimated filming time is two months, Zhu Yourong and I have nothing, there is no need to explain, the release and other aspects do not need special care from the Universal Company, the humanistic atmosphere of this film is very strong, I believe that all countries will introduce it, from the day of release to the one-year period, as long as it can be guaranteed to be released simultaneously in the Ming Empire, the United States and two of the three major European markets, the box office is more than 300 million in three months. ”
