Chapter 264: Invest in Wuji? Earn sure
When Li Shengyao was filming seriously in Shanghai, the release time of the domestic "Pirates of the Caribbean" was almost over.
The total box office is 32 million, excluding all kinds of taxes, as well as theater distribution shares, and the final income is about 10 million.
That is, Li Shengyao and China Film each got 5 million.
Naturally, the money did not arrive so quickly, even if it was a film released by China Film, it would take half a year to delay it in the theater.
At the same time, "Saw Horror" was a big hit at the St. Denis Film Festival, and word of mouth spread back to the beautiful country, and Lionsgate took the opportunity to release the film in the beautiful country, and won 40 million box office in just two weeks.
If nothing else, when the movie is released, the final box office will be 50 million dollars.
A movie with an investment of more than one million yuan will get a box office of 50 million, and after the account is shared, it will inevitably cost more than 10 million dollars.
Although he knew that Lionsgate would make a fuss about the ledger and finally assigned it to Li Shengyao, it should be very few.
But it still shocked the high-level leaders of China Film.
After all, Lee Shengyao invested two years before the film production, and so many independent small films chose this one, which shows Lee Shengyao's vision.
On this day, Han Sanping went to Shanghai, found Li Shengyao in person, and invited Li Shengyao to have dinner at the Jinjiang Hotel.
I ordered a table of good food and served good wine.
Li Shengyao didn't drink, so he asked an assistant director who could drink to accompany Han Sanping for a few drinks.
"Director Li, your vision is really amazing, how did you know that "Chainsaw" would have such results?"
Li Shengyao smiled, "I was lucky, I registered the copyright at that time, and then wandered around in Hollywood, and happened to meet Wen Ziren and Werner, I think the two of them are very talented, and I think the script is good, the cost is low, and only four or five million box office can pay off, so I have the courage to vote once." ”
"Director Li, do you have any intention to invest together?"
Li Shengyao used "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Chainsaw" to bring benefits to China Film, Han Sanping felt that Li Shengyao was a talent and worth wooing, and he planned to share an opportunity for Li Shengyao to make money.
At this time, he drank a little wine, and his face was slightly red, but his small eyes were very sincere.
The people who can make Han Sanye treat him like this are actually not much in the whole internal entertainment.
Li Shengyao did not immediately agree, after all, there are very few films that can make money in the mainland these years, even if China Film invests, he does not have to follow the investment.
"What kind of movie is Director Han watching?"
"Absolutely good movie," Han Sanping smiled and drank a glass of wine, snorted twice, and then gave a look to a middle-aged man with glasses next to him.
The middle-aged man immediately continued: "Director Li, our President Han is definitely sincere this time, have you heard that Director Chen is preparing a new movie?"
Chen Dadao, Chen Poet.
Li Shengyao was slightly stunned, and then thought of the big bad movie "Wuji" released in 05.
"Is it directed by Brother Chen Kai?"
"That's right, Director Chen is preparing an epic blockbuster covering China, Japan, South Korea, and top superstars in the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan."
This person was very excited when he spoke, and his voice was trembling, "It is said that Zhang Baizhi, Nicholas Tse, Sanada Hiroyuki of the island country, and Zhang Dongjian of the peninsula, and Liu Ye and Chen Hong in the mainland, such a lineup is no worse than "Hero". ”
This lineup seems to be good, but it really can't compare with "Heroes".
The heroes are Li Lianjie, Zhang Ziyi, and "In the Mood for Love" was a big hit and won an award abroad, at that time, Liang Chaowei and Zhang Manyu were in full swing, not to mention Chen Daowei and Zhen Bullet.
However, Li Shengyao found that not only was the person who spoke very excited, but Han Sanping also nodded again and again, obviously agreeing with this statement.
Don't arbitrarily deny what a person approves, whose cognition is the basis of his existence.
Li Shengyao listened quietly.
"Director Li, the actors of this blockbuster have basically been contacted, many companies are rushing to invest, and we only got 40% of the share, Director Li, do you want to give 10% to you?"
The crucian carp soup on the table was still hot, and white smoke was coming out.
Li Shengyao could see the excited eyes of the middle-aged man through the white smoke.
He picked up the teacup and took a sip of herbal tea, suppressing his shock.
"Wuji" is said to have invested 100 million, and 10 percent is 10 million.
Although Li Shengyao is now worth hundreds of millions, his money was not given by the God of Wealth.
Don't say 10 million, 1 million won't be given away.
Even if Zhongying is well-intentioned, he will not jump into the pit for the sake of face.
But after all, people are kind, Li Shengyao organized his words, and then said slowly: "Director Han, about this matter, forget it, how can I be embarrassed to grab the share that China Film has fought for?" ”
Han Sanping waved her hand, "Director Li, don't be polite with me, you have money to earn together, you are a generous person, and I am not a stingy person." ”
Li Shengyao drank another cup of tea, and then said: "Director Han, the main thing is that Fenghua's funds are not allowed, I am buying houses everywhere now, you should know what the reason is, right?"
Han Sanping was stunned, he had a special identity, so he naturally knew the policies above.
At the end of the year, new regulations will be introduced to allow private companies to set up cinemas, so Li Shengyao is buying so many buildings now, which is to set up his own cinema chain, which does cost money.
But he didn't reveal it.
But Li Shengyao actually knew, it must be that Li Shengyao was valued by the above, and someone revealed the news in advance.
Han Sanping then thought that it seemed that Fenghua started buying a house last year, but he didn't know about it last year, he went to the old leader's house to pay New Year's greetings at the beginning of the year, and he only knew about it.
In other words, Li Shengyao knew it earlier than him.
This background is terrifying!
Han Sanping thought about it, but felt that with Li Shengyao's contribution, such treatment was taken for granted.
He valued Li Shengyao even more in his heart, "Director Li, money is a trivial matter, and Zhongying can pay it in advance." ”
Li Shengyao was speechless, and if he panicked, he needed more lies to come back.
He doesn't want to analyze that "Wuji" will lose money, there are many movies that China Film loses money, what does it matter to him, there is no need to do sinners.
Although he is not afraid of Brother Kaizi, but for no reason, why should he sing about other people's movies?
"Director Han, thank you really for your hospitality, but I received my heart, forget about this investment, I used to find the master to calculate a hexagram, the first domestic film I invested in myself, it is best to invest in Fenghua, which is good for Fenghua."
"So I don't really want to invest in Director Chen's film, and I will have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future."
When Han Sanping heard this, she immediately became much more cautious.
People in the entertainment industry believe in such gods and ghosts.
"I see, okay, then we'll work together later."
He continued, "It's a pity, the target of this movie is China, Japan, South Korea, and the Hong Kong Island market, and it will definitely be a big hit next year." ”
Li Shengyao laughed, "It's a pity, I'm just as happy to see you making money." ”
