Chapter 116: Investment, Prying the Corner
If you say that the movie that Tsui Hark said, Chen Qiming is not very interested.
Chen Qiming was very interested in this movie called "New Love", he walked to Er Dongsheng and took the initiative to say hello.
"Hello Er Dao, I'm Chen Qiming."
"Hello!" Er Dongsheng looked at him, and saw that Chen Qiming's eyes were staring at the script on the table, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked directly: "Are you interested in my play?" ”
Chen Qiming sat down next to him and said vaguely: "I heard the conversation between you and the boss just now, and I feel that your script is very interesting." ”
After a pause, he asked, "Do you need to invest?" ”
Er Dongsheng looked at Chen Qiming carefully.
He is no stranger to Chen Qiming.
This has just won the Academy Award for Best Newcomer.
Originally, he thought that Chen Qiming wanted to act in this play, but listening to Chen Qiming's meaning, he seemed to want to invest.
This made his heart that had just been poured out by Xiang Huasheng can't help but beat again.
"Yes, it is very necessary, if I can't get the investment, I may have to choose to sell the house and borrow money to shoot."
Er Dongsheng said, picked up the script, and sighed.
"I have been preparing for this drama for nearly three years, and no one has been interested, and now the producers are focusing on comedy, action and martial arts.
I also know that these genres are more popular now, but if this kind of realistic love story is filmed well, it can also get a good box office, but it's a pity that ......"
After speaking, he looked at Chen Qiming, "If you are interested, we can talk, if you are not interested, then I'm sorry, I may need to leave, I still have to find other investors to see." ”
"Can I read the script?"
Chen Qiming asked.
He knew it was presumptuous, but he wanted to make sure it was the story of his dreams.
"Yes!" Er Dongsheng directly handed him the script.
Chen Qiming took the script and read it roughly.
The story is much the same as the one in the dream, with only a few minor differences.
However, these subtle differences should be made during the shooting.
"How much investment do you need?"
Chen Qiming didn't look at it carefully, and after roughly confirming that this story was the story in his dream, he put down the script and asked.
"I can come up with three million myself, and I estimate that it should take about seven million to complete the filming of this drama, and there are still four million left."
Hearing Chen Qiming's inquiry, there was more light in Er Dongsheng's eyes.
Perhaps afraid that this number would make Chen Qiming retreat, he gritted his teeth and said, "If you think it's too high, I can compress the cost, you only need to invest three million."
In terms of the lineup, don't worry, I may not be able to pull big names in the starring roles, but in terms of supporting roles, I have a lot of friends, I can invite them to play. ”
"Three million!"
Hearing this number, Chen Qiming groaned.
Compared with those dramas that move tens of millions, this figure is actually not a large investment.
But for actors and little singers, this money is still a lot.
However, this does not include the current Chen Qiming.
In February, the revenue from his second album "Fairy Tale" had arrived.
At the time of settlement, the record had sold four million copies.
Among them, 2.5 million were tapes, 1.2 million were lasers, and 300,000 were vinyl.
Because when this record was released, Chen Qiming had not signed a new contract with Fulong, so Chen Qiming's income for this record was calculated according to the initial contract.
He was divided into seven tapes, twelve laser CDs, and sixteen vinyl.
Divided, he can get 36.7 million.
Excluding 60% of Fulong, his income is about NT$14.6 million.
Of course, Chen Qiming must have more than these incomes.
After "Fairy Tale" became popular, he attended many commercial events, participated in a movie "New Meteor Butterfly Sword", and released a Cantonese EP.
The money was settled in February.
In that settlement, after deducting Fulong's share, he received NT$18 million.
I gave some of this money to my family, and I spent some of my daily expenses, and there are still about 17 million Taiwan dollars.
If converted to Hong Kong dollars, it is about 5 million.
After thinking for a while, Chen Qiming asked again: "Does the male protagonist have a goal?" Can I act? ”
"You?" Hearing this, Er Dongsheng hesitated.
Halfway through, he said, "Your salary ......"
What does Chen Qiming exist now?
One of the most glamorous singers in the music scene this year.
Although Chen Qiming has not proven himself in the film industry, and he has not played a leading role in several movies on his own, he is now very popular.
You can see how popular he is from Tsui Hark's approach.
Therefore, his salary is naturally not low.
At present, Fulong's film chip announced to the public is 1 million Hong Kong dollars.
Yes, it's a million Hong Kong dollars, and it looks like he's making more money than singing.
"I invested you three million, plus my appearance, how about four million investment?"
Chen Qiming said.
It's not uncommon for investors like this to star in movies in Hong Kong.
Recently, Jet Li set up his own film and television company with the help of Yang Dengkui.
He himself also invests in his own films, and then gets paid.
That's what Chen Qiming is doing now.
He invested, and then got back a million as an actor.
However, considering the embarrassment of the crew of "New Love", Chen Qiming can only choose not to get paid for the time being, but to count it as an investment.
“OK! OK! ”
Er Dongsheng thought about it and nodded.
He couldn't help it.
In fact, from the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to give this role to Chen Qiming.
Because he has promised to give this role to his friend Liu Qingyun.
The two of them met when they were filming a TV series on TVB.
Although Liu Qingyun is very dark, he should not say it, his acting skills are outstanding, and he is very suitable for the actor of "New Love".
"Are you planning to invest as an individual? Or is it a company? ”
After chatting a few more words, Er Dongsheng asked.
"I will set up a studio in Hong Kong in a few days, and then I will participate in the investment as a studio!"
Chen Qiming said.
Investing in an individual is not the same as a company.
Well, in fact, it's all the same, the difference is that you can reasonably avoid taxes.
Well, avoid the eagle's tax.
There is also the fact that Chen Qiming's funds are all Taiwan dollars and need to be exchanged for foreign exchange.
It will be much more convenient to have a company to take the accounts.
When the investment was pulled, Er Dongsheng seemed very happy, and drank three glasses with Chen Qiming in a row.
He then left the banquet on the grounds that he wanted to go back to make preparations.
Seeing Er Dongsheng leave, Chen Qiming touched his chin and paid more attention to the film industry in the future.
There are definitely a lot of people like Er Dongsheng who run into walls everywhere with good movies and pull investments.
As long as he picks up a few leaks, he can definitely make a lot of money.
Chen Qiming thought as he walked along the road towards the banquet hall, and after walking not far away, he suddenly saw an impressive person.
Niezhen.
At the beginning, because Chen Qiming praised Zhou Huimin on the show, he was ridiculed fiercely by the stingy him, which made Chen Qiming deeply impressed by him.
Niezhen was harassing a girl with a coquettish face at this time.
It's a coincidence.
This girl is Sunny who Chen Qiming thought was very beautiful before and wanted to say hello.
Today's Sunny is dressed up beautifully, with a short white dress and a long hair shawl, which fully reflects her slender figure, coupled with that delicate little face and talking eyes, it is simply a killer for most of the actresses at today's banquet.
Pure and lovely, this is Niezhen's favorite.
Unfortunately, Sunny is obviously very impatient and even disgusted by his accosting.
With Nizhen's background in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, as well as his outstanding talent and ability, picking up girls is really simple for him.
Chen Qiming has seen a lot of lace news about this guy.
It's just that not everyone will buy his set of love letters and love poems.
Perhaps, his self-righteous image of a talented man is not as good as a fart in the eyes of some people.
Heroes save beauty?
no!
Chen Qiming is not stupid enough to heroically save the United States in such a place.
Where is this?
At the Academy Awards banquet, Nie Zhen pestered at most, and he didn't dare to do anything to Sunny at all.
On the contrary, if Chen Qiming goes up to solve the siege now, there is a chance that this peacock man will hold a grudge.
Should I say it or not, there is still something in this guy's yes report.
Being hated by him will definitely be endless trouble.
So, he didn't plan to go up, but prepared to pass directly to the side.
However, some things are often just so dramatic.
Chen Qiming had just passed by when he was discovered by Nie Zhen.
This guy is really stingy to the extreme.
still remembers the last time Chen Qiming teased and showed his love for Zhou Huimin on the show.
"Yo! Isn't this Xiao Qiming! Heard your tapes are selling well? The organizers also gave you a best newcomer for this? ”
Niezhen's mouth was like a big piece of.
As soon as he opened his mouth, not only did he damage Chen Qiming, but even the organizers ridiculed him.
Well, the tapes he said sold well, not to mention Chen Qiming's recent records, but to expose them.
Chen Qiming sold tapes before his debut, and under the publicity of the media, everyone has long known about it.
In the eyes of most people, he is a grassroots counterattack, which is a very inspirational thing.
But in the mouth of people like Nezhen, this matter has become a scar, a joke, ridiculing Chen Qiming as a hillbilly.
Looking at Ni Zhen, who was dressed in a suit and couldn't wait to lift his nostrils to the sky when he spoke, a word came to Chen Qiming's mind, "People look like dogs." ”。
"Good evening, Mr. Niechen!"
Chen Qiming said with a smile as if he hadn't heard his mockery.
It seemed that Chen Qiming didn't expect that he was not angry, and Ni Zhen was a little surprised, and continued to taunt: "You seem to like Vivian very much? I'm sorry, she's my girlfriend now, you, it's no fun! ”
"Hehe......" Chen Qiming smiled, ignoring his barking anymore, but looked at Sunny Ni.
"Sister Sunny, would you like to have a drink with me?"
Sunny was clearly tired of Niechen's harassment.
Nodding directly, "Of course, I want to get to know you too." ”
"Let's go over there, then! It's so noisy here, the organizers are so unreliable, they actually let the flies fly in......"
Chen Qiming said, reached out and took Sunny Ny's little hand, and walked to the other side.
Leaving Niezhen standing there with a gloomy face.
