Chapter 264, Jiang Wen and Xu Jinglei

People can't be idle for too long, they become lazy when they are idle, and they become decadent if they are lazy.

Early this morning, Lu Bu went to the office building of Mengjiang's studio with Yu Feihong.

"Brother Wen, are you here to work?" When Lu Bu arrived, he found that Jiang Wen was already there, so he joked with him.

"You give me food and shelter, and I'll come." Jiang Wen laughed.

"Who is this?" Lu Bu saw that he was still carrying a woman about thirty years old, with delicate appearance and literary temperament.

"A friend of mine is named Xu Jinglei." Jiang Wen introduced.

"Mr. Lu is good, Sister Yu is good." Xu Jinglei greeted politely.

"Hello." Lu Bu said hello.

"Don't come unharmed." Yu Feihong said lightly.

"Sister Xie Yu cares." Xu Jinglei smiled slightly.

"You know?" Lu Bu said curiously.

"Sister Yu is my homeroom teacher at Nortel." Xu Jinglei explained.

"Let's go to my office and talk." After Yu Feihong finished speaking, he turned his head to the assistant behind him and said, "Xiao Wang, go make a few cups of tea." ”

Lu Bu saw that her mood was no longer relaxed and happy when she went out, it was probably related to this Xu Jinglei, but it was not easy to ask now, so he chatted with Jiang Wen shoulder to shoulder: "Brother Yu didn't come along?" ”

Jiang Wen shook his head and said, "I didn't come, he's taken over a criminal investigation drama, what's it called......"

Yu Feihong interjected: ""Iron Youth". ”

Jiang Wen smiled: "Yes, yes, I just joined the crew for a few days. ”

Lu Bu asked tentatively: "You came here this time for a new play?" ”

Jiang Wen nodded and said: "Jing Lei got a script, planned to direct and act by himself, and asked me to be the leading actor, this script is adapted from the name of the Austrian writer Stefan Zweig, a very good story, I thought about coming over to see if I could get some funds with Mr. Yu." ”

Lu Bu glanced at Xu Jinglei, but he didn't expect that he was still a director.

However......

He didn't know that the seemingly quiet woman in front of him was actually not simple at all.

In 93, nineteen-year-old Xu Jinglei was admitted to Nortel and became classmates with Liu Lin, Liu Mei, and Jia Jingwen, just when other classmates still didn't know anything about the future, Xu Jinglei met Wang Shuo, the biggest nobleman in her life, at this time she was still a sophomore, and Wang Shuo was not only sixteen years older than Xu Jinglei, but also had a wife and daughter.

Wang Shuo was a famous cattle man at that time, he and Zheng Xiaolong, Ye Daying, Ye Jing and other big courtyard disciples were the founders of the "Beijing Circle", and Xu Jinglei's self-confidence to a somewhat cynical attitude was in line with the meaning of the stubborn masters in the Beijing Circle, the talented man met the beautiful woman, like a thunderbolt stirring the earth, a year-old love happened unstoppably, Wang Shuo, who had a little girlfriend, the first thing to do, of course, was to smash resources to make her popular, "You at the Same Table", "A Stormy Affair"

Later, Wang Shuo divorced, and he has always been scared of the sky, and the words in his pen are also explicit and straightforward, so the criticism of him from the outside world reached its peak at this time, and even, some people said that they wanted to take off one of Wang Shuo's legs, now he was really afraid, in 97, he went to the United States to avoid the limelight, before leaving, he specially explained to his friends in the circle, he must take care of Xu Jinglei.

In 98, she starred in "Carry on Love to the End" and became the most popular newcomer at that time. Xu Jinglei bought a mobile phone and bought a house before graduating, which is something that her college classmates can't think of, but she easily realized it, and from actor to director, she seems to be effortless, last September, she wrote and directed the movie "Me and Dad" was released as scheduled, although Wang Shuo's name was not seen in the main creative staff of the movie, but the starring Ye Daying and Jiang Wen are Wang Shuo's friends.

"How much money is missing?"

"There's still 15 million left."

The script "Letter from a Strange Woman" brought by Xu Jinglei this time, there is still Wang Shuo pointing out in the dark, and the quality is guaranteed, but most of the literary films are not popular, Lu Bu pondered for a moment and asked: "I want to know, what is the total investment of this movie?" ”

Xu Jinglei said truthfully: "20 million." ”

Yu Feihong frowned lightly when he heard this.

Lu Bu smiled faintly and said, "Do you know what it means to invest 20 million in a literary film?" It means 'loss'. ”

"In business, I may be a little blunt."

"This year, two large-scale literary films were released, one is "Baby in Love" starring Zhou Xun, Huang Jue, and Chen Kun with an investment of 42 million, and finally won a box office of 15 million, and the other is "Little Things in the Big City" starring Yi Ming and Wang Jingwen with an investment of 30 million, which got a box office of 10.52 million in Xiangjiang, while the mainland only has a box office of 8 million, all of which are blood losses."

Xu Jinglei explained: "Although "Letter from a Strange Woman" is not like those action-oriented, martial arts movies, but it has universal emotions, suitable for all ages, the story itself can cross borders and ages, I changed the background of the story to Beiping in the 30s of the 20th century, and the watchability has increased again, because the magic capital in the 30s of the 20th century has been filmed too much, but in the 30s of the 20th century, Beiping has rarely been filmed in movies in recent years, and this script can undertake such a large production because it has a commercial basis. ”

Lu Bu looked at Jiang Wen and asked, "Brother Wen, what do you think?" ”

Jiang Wen said with a dry smile: "When I first started reading this story, I was basically moved from beginning to end, and I think it is still more commercially valuable." ”

Lu Bu shrugged his shoulders and said: "The success of "Titanic" cannot be replicated, if you can control the cost of this film within 10 million, you may be able to make a little profit." ”

He may not know how to make movies, but from the perspective of an audience and a boss, Xu Jinglei's script is not worth an investment of 20 million, or even an investment of 10 million.

Yu Feihong glanced at him in surprise, he was leisurely all day long, either practicing or drinking tea, but he didn't expect that he didn't know anything about the film market so well!

Xu Jinglei sighed and said, "10 million is definitely not enough, I'll find another way." ”

Lu Bu looked at Yu Feihong and blinked twice.

Yu Feihong understood and said: "Brother Wen, you also know what the main focus of this studio opened by Abu, all the funds are basically from him alone, and he just gave Brother Xu a concert, and invested in many film and television dramas such as "Myth", "Iron Blooded Youth", "Water Moon Cave Sky", there is not much money left in the account, your movie, 2 million is the limit." ”

This is a half-truth.

In other words, 2 million is voted on your face, and it doesn't matter if you make or lose.

Jiang Wen looked happy and said sincerely: "Brother, thank you." ”

He didn't expect Lu Bu and Yu Feihong to fill the vacancy of 15 million, but to make up for it.

Xu Jinglei also said politely: "Thank you, Mr. Lu, thank you, Sister Yu." ”

After sending the two away, Lu Bu learned about Xu Jinglei's "deeds" from Yu Feihong.

When a real person can't look good, at first glance it looks like a good girl who is too traditional to be more traditional, but she is a woman who plays with a man to take the position, and even said to Wang Shuo's original partner at the age of twenty, "I'm swaggering in and out of your bedroom, you just give him to me!" "That's the case.

So even if Xu Jinglei is the girlfriend of a good friend, Yu Feihong never likes this woman.

Lu Bu sighed and said, "If you told me earlier, I would have saved the 2 million." ”

Yu Feihong pursed his lips and said: "Lao Wang also asked me to take care of her more, and I will pay for it myself." ”

"Look what you're talking about." Lu Bu gently pinched her chin and said softly, "Can I let you pay this money yourself?" Counting the investment of the studio, in fact, Brother Wen is right, this script has a certain commercial value, but the investment of 20 million yuan, it takes 60 million box office to return to the cost, how many movies can sell so much money now? What's more, it's still a literary film, so as long as you can control the cost a little, there is a high probability that it will not be a loss, and you can even make a small profit. ”

Yu Feihong looked at him stupidly, his eyes full of appreciation and admiration, and said, "How do you understand everything?" ”

Lu Bu smiled slightly and confessed: "I thought I could share the work for you, so I went to watch some TV series and film business materials and information. ”

Yu Feihong's heart warmed, it was a happy thing to be cared for and cared for by his lover, and then said: "Give you a reward." ”

When Lu Bu heard this, he looked around and said, "Here?" Is it so exciting? ”

"What do you want?" Seeing that he had misunderstood, Yu Feihong blushed and snorted, then got up and went to the desk drawer to get a folder and said, "I mean this." ”

A hint of disappointment drifted through Lu Bu's eyes, he took the folder from her hand, opened it and saw that it was a contract.

"This is Bulgari's endorsement contract." Yu Feihong sat next to him and explained: "The Bulgari jewelry brand was founded in 1884, headquartered in Rome, Italy, is one of the world's top 500 brands, known for its excellent quality, novel shape and excellent service, the design and production of jewelry is very exquisite, at the beginning of this year to enter our Chinese market, a few days ago Xiaoli talked about their first endorsement, you look at which 'little girlfriend' for you!" ”

An international luxury brand?

This is the first time to get such a big endorsement.

Lu Bu hugged her waist and said, "This belongs to you." ”

Yu Feihong's eyes darkened, and he said: "People's requirements are to be young, beautiful, and popular." ”

Lu Bu knew that she had always cared about age, and immediately said: "You are in the prime of life, don't be presumptuous." ”

Yu Feihong blurted out, "I am thirty-three years old Chinese New Year's Eve this year. ”

Lu Bu immediately smiled, gently pulled her into his arms, then looked her in the eyes, and said to her solemnly: "So what? You know, I'm over 1,800 years old. ”

His kind of vision is very peculiar, it seems, sincere and pure, and under his gaze, Yu Feihong felt that he had changed from a "sister" to a "sister", was silent for a moment, and muttered: "You really want my life." He immediately smiled and said, "I'll tell you about business." ”

Lu Bu smiled and said, "You decide this matter, and give it to whomever you want." ”

Yu Feihong smiled slyly and said, "Who can you give it to?" ”

Lu Bu pretended to be stupid and said, "In the morning, didn't you say that there were some dramas for me to check, where are they?" ”

Yu Feihong didn't continue to ask, and got up again to get a few folders.

Xia Yu, Yuan Yu, the movie "Police Appointment......

Hu Jing, ...... of the TV series "Yangmen Tiger General"

Zeng Hao, TV series "New Liao Zhai Zhiwei Painted Skin" ......

Gao Yuanyuan, the movie "Qinghong"......

Wang Baoqiang, the movie "Slaying the Wolf" and "New Police Story" ......

Everyone has an arrangement.

Except for Wang Baoqiang, who got two supporting roles, everyone else got the protagonist.

There is no way, it is currently very difficult to find a leading role for Wang Baoqiang, and if there is a supporting role, he will play it first.

Lu Bu probably took a look at the investment, the main creative team, the cast and the synopsis, all of which were still decent, and said, "I don't have a problem looking at it." ”

Yu Feihong nodded and said, "Okay, I'll have someone send them the materials and scripts later." ”

Lu Bu asked again: "Do all these movies and TV series have investment?" ”

Yu Feihong replied: "Yes, but the amount is not high, between 1 million ~ 2 million." ”

After tasting the sweetness of investing in film and television dramas on "Eighteen-Year-Old Sky", "Conquest" and "Blind Well", since the beginning of this year, a lot of movies and TV series have been invested one after another.

Yu Feihong adopts the method of casting a wide net and low investment, after all, today's film and television market is unpredictable, and no one can be 100% sure which drama will lose and which drama will make money.

Lu Bu glanced at the investment list, and then said, "Is there enough money in the account?" If that's not enough, I'll turn some in. ”

Yu Feihong nodded and said: "It's enough, I've invested so much at the moment, and I'll consider the next investment when I get back a wave of funds." ”

Lu Bu still has a lot of money in his personal account.

On Ren Yan's side, the original ecological hot pot and the Three Kingdoms Bar in Shu have been opened in eleven major cities, with a total of more than thirty.

In addition, he now has seven properties, all of which are in the center of a big city.

And then there is, a while ago, the starting point of the grand acquisition.

After a chase, his stake in the starting point reached 20%.

And the remaining 80% are, Ren Yang 10%, Yu Feihong 10%, and the starting point of the six gentlemen 60%.

Among them, Ren Yang and the six gentlemen of the starting point are in favor of selling.

As for him, he originally planned to follow Ren Yan, but the grand opening price was 2 million US dollars, and there was not much money to divide it, so as soon as he and Yu Feihong combined, he decided to sell half of it, get some money back, and keep the remaining half.

Shanda also accepted that 85% of the shares were enough to control the starting point.

In short, if you count all the assets, he is almost a billionaire.

However, it is still far from his goal of earning 100 million a year.

Yanjing, a community.

Gao Yuanyuan was startled when he heard the sound of a key opening the door, and when he saw that it was Lu Bu, he breathed a sigh of relief, and was happy in his heart, but he made an angry expression on his face, and said, "Do you remember that you have a girlfriend?" ”

Lu Bu smiled apologetically and said, "I'm dealing with some things in the studio." ”

Gao Yuanyuan looked at this face that was thinking about it day and night, and couldn't put it anymore, so he threw himself directly into his arms.

Lu Bu hugged her tightly, and in the past year, he spent the least time with her, and he was a little guilty.

Therefore, when dry wood meets a blazing fire, a raging fire is inevitable.

It's this fire that burns, burns, how can there be the sound of water?
