When the exchange with Han Sanping ended, it was almost eleven o'clock, Li Shengyao went to the celebration banquet for the premiere of "Seven Swords" to say hello, chatted with Xu Yu and Li Wei, and then left.

I don't want him to walk on the front foot, and a few people chase after him.

"Director Li, let's talk."

Wu Kebo, Zhang Weiping, Wang Changtian, Yu Dong, and Wang Zhonglei all came over.

Many celebrities and artists saw it and looked at it with faw.

For Li Shengyao in the C position, he naturally has more respect.

Seeing this, Li Shengyao smiled and nodded.

Not long after, a group of bigwigs came to the China World Summit Wing, not far from China Film International Cinema, ordered a private room, served tea, and some snacks, and several people sat down around a table.

Wu Kebo hurriedly said: "I'm here to treat you today, you don't have to rob me." ”

Wu Kebo was so generous, and everyone else nodded meaningfully.

He noticed everyone's gaze and was depressed.

Orange Sky has a very large investment in the TV drama market, and the directors and producers are very welcoming to this big financier.

But in the film industry, he found that even if he waved money, people didn't care about him.

It's hard for him to get into the circle.

The next blockbusters this year also include Cheng Long's "Myth", as well as several movies in the Chinese New Year file.

"Mythology" is mainly invested by Yinghuang and Shangying.

As for several Chinese New Year movies, he only invested five million in "A Thousand Miles to Ride Alone".

The five million was not given to him by Zhang Weiping, but the island country Dongbao came forward to give him a share of five million.

But "A Thousand Miles to Ride Alone" is a literary film, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to make a big breakthrough at the box office.

Orange Sky wants to brag about it, but there is no material.

He can only try to follow Wang Changtian and a few people, hoping to get some investment shares of good movies, so that the summary meeting at the end of Orange Sky will look better.

After the big guy sat down, Yu Dong took the lead and said: "Director Li, is there still a shortage of investment in "Extreme Escape"? ”

Li Shengyao shook his head, "There is no shortage, it is enough now." ”

Yu Dong obviously did his homework a long time ago, "Director Li, the total investment of "Extreme Escape" is 40 million, how much share do you give to other companies?" ”

"Fifteen million, including 5 million for TVB and 10 million for China Film."

Yu Dong nodded, and then poured a cup of tea for Li Shengyao, "Director Li, isn't it only fifteen million, and we all want to cooperate with you." ”

Everyone else looked over, and at this moment they seemed to be people from a camp, naturally quite imposing.

If you change to other showbiz people to look at them like this, you should be nervous.

Li Shengyao smiled and shook his head, "Mr. Xu, if I have the opportunity, I am naturally willing to cooperate, but the total cost is only 40 million, and I have almost set aside 15 million, isn't it enough?" ”

Wang Zhonglei continued at this time: "Director Li, it stands to reason that it is indeed enough, but we are not ignorant people, so we know that we have a plan to jump with money, and we will not let you suffer." ”

Wu Kebo felt that Wang Zhonglei had something to say, wasn't he the one who only had money?

Zhang Weiping nodded, "Director Li, let's go over there and have a one-on-one chat." ”

When the others saw it, they all got out of the way.

There are also two rows of sofas and a coffee table in the box.

Li Shengyao and Zhang Weiping sat down side by side.

Zhang Weiping said directly: "Director Li, how about we make a deal?" ”

"You said."

"You give me 5 million investment shares in "Extreme Escape", and I will give you 10 million investment shares in "The City is Full of Golden Armor", how about it, it's interesting enough."

He paused for a moment, and then said: "This movie has Fa Ge, Gong Li, and Jay Chou, just aiming at the beautiful country and the Southeast Asian market, and it will definitely make a lot of money." ”

When the words fell, Zhang Weiping looked directly at Li Shengyao.

"The City Full of Golden Armor" has been approved, and Chow Runfang, Gong Li, and Jay Chou will be invited to be popular stars, and the pomp is very big.

Among them, Zhou Runwei's salary is 40 million, and he has to prepare an RV worth 500,000 US dollars for him.

The total investment is around 350 million.

Zhang Weiping read the investment budget table and recalculated it six times, and it was still this number.

This means that it will take about a billion at the box office to pay for itself.

It's just too hard.

"Hero" is the pinnacle, with a total box office of 250 million US dollars worldwide

"Ambush on All Sides" is much less, although it was released in a beautiful country, it only has a box office of 10 million US dollars, and the total box office of various countries is about 800 million.

Zhang Weiping is not sure whether the people of the beautiful country still like to watch such costume blockbusters.

If there is no high box office in the beautiful country, it is impossible to recover the cost.

Thinking of this, he didn't even really want to invest.

Later, he found other messy big pipes and fooled them into investing in Lao Mouzi's blockbuster.

Now that it is almost finished, he then thought of Li Shengyao's "Extreme Escape", this movie only costs 40 million, with the box office trend of "Punch, Dad", and Li Dadao's current reputation, it should be no problem to recover the cost.

Maybe you can make a small profit.

From the point of view of investment choices, "Extreme Escape" is obviously more suitable.

He thought about whether he could use "The City Full of Golden Armor" to fool Li Shengyao.

A few people on the other side were chatting, looking like they were in a good mood, and the sound of teacups colliding from time to time sounded, which was very crisp.

There is a mixed smell of tea and pastry in the air, surrounded by left and right.

Li Shengyao glanced at Zhang Weiping and smiled secretly in his heart.

It's not that he doesn't know the beautiful national box office performance of "The City Full of Golden Armor", and he only got 6.5 million dollars.

It turns out that the audience over there is getting more and more tired of such costume blockbusters.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Heroes are really exceptions.

In this case, the total investment of "The City Full of Golden Armor" is more than 300 million, but the total box office is only more than 400 million, and it is a loss.

"Mr. Zhang, "The City is Full of Golden Armor" is a blockbuster, I have always been cautious about such movies, why don't you talk to Wu Wenhui and see what he thinks?"

For the sake of Lao Mouzi's face, Li Shengyao did not directly say that the movie would lose money, he simply pushed it out.

When Zhang Weiping heard this, she understood what Li Shengyao meant.

In fact, not only Li Shengyao, Wang Zhonglei and Wang Changtian didn't want to invest, the cost was indeed too high and the risk was too great.

Now it seems that Li Shengyao is not easy to fool.

Still, he wanted to save it.

"Director Li, "The City is Full of Golden Armor" is a movie about the court battles of the Tang Dynasty, adapted from our classic drama "Thunderstorm", and it will definitely be popular after its release."

"Mr. Zhang, then I congratulate you on your wide range of wealth."

Seeing this, Zhang Weiping could only leave with a gloomy face.

A moment later, the others came over in turn to talk to Li Shengyao.

Wang Zhonglei said that they can help Lee Shengyao strive for a higher film schedule.

Wang Changtian said that the distribution of light has advantages, and Fenghua's distribution is now focused on big cities, and they can help to make efforts in third-tier cities.

Yu Dong said that he could pull Li Shengyao and enter "Confucius" and "Huo Yuanjia" together, and his rhetoric was similar to Zhang Weiping.

Only Wu Kebo said that my brother is rich, you want money, it's right to look for me.

Lee Shengyao rejected them all.

"Confucius" is also a big loss, Chow Yunwei's salary of 40 million is just nonsense, unless he plays the God of Gamblers, he has no box office appeal in the mainland.

"Huo Yuanjia" has performed well in the North American disc market, and it should be able to pay off.

But it doesn't mean anything to Li Shengyao, he has that money, how good it is to save it to buy a house.

"Director Li, you're so uninteresting."

Wang Zhonglei and several people stood up, and several people were not satisfied with this result, and their faces were not very good-looking at this time.

It looks like they want to fight.

Li Shengyao smiled, these people just wanted to put pressure on him.

They alone are not qualified.

Of course, he can choose to give up a little investment share, so hello, hello, hello, everyone.

But once there is, it will not be like this later.

Could it be that when these people get together in the future, Li Shengyao will give them face?

There is no interest, and the face is all bullshit.

"Everyone, the tea is good, thank you for your hospitality, next time I invite everyone to tea, it's too late, I'll go first."

He then ignored the other people's faces and strode away.

The things that need to be dealt with are almost done, and he plans to go south to Star City tomorrow, and then prepare to officially shoot "Extreme Escape".

……

After Li Shengyao left, Zhang Weiping slapped the table, "This guy is really not righteous at all, everyone, it's not me who is alarmist, the more popular his movies are, the more uncomfortable our days are." ”

Wang Zhonglei nodded, "Lao Zhang, then it depends on whether "Thousands of Miles Riding Alone" can stop "Extreme Escape" in the Chinese New Year. ”

Zhang Weiping rolled her eyes, "If Love", isn't "The Great Sage of Love" also in the New Year? ”

"If Love" is the main investment is Yanjing Hongsheng Investment Company, and the light also has a share, while "The Great Sage of Love" is Yinghuang and Huayi.

Wang Zhonglei smiled, "There is no problem on my side, when the time comes, we will work together to defeat "Extreme Escape". ”

Li Shengyao's rise, the first to be threatened was Feng Xiaogang, he naturally didn't want Li Shengyao to become bigger and stronger.

Wang Changtian thought for a while, "Okay, let's work together." ”

He just said in a sentence, in fact, about "If Love", the light is a small investment of 3 million, and he can't be the master.

And even if you can call the shots, in the end, it's not about the quality of watching movies, it's not that you can block it if you want to.

He didn't pay much attention to it.

Zhang Weiping was very excited, he remembered that when he was a child, a classmate didn't give him melon seeds to eat, and later took his classmates to the playground to play, and he secretly scattered his classmates' melon seeds on the ground.

He is such a person, and then Zhang Weiping and Wang Zhonglei went to the sofa to chat in a low voice and made several plans.

After the end of the show, Wang Changtian took out his mobile phone, called Li Shengyao, and told him what had just happened, "Director Li, I really didn't want to target you, I will cooperate with you with sincerity." ”

"Okay, then five million, when the time comes, where Fenghua can't be issued, the light will make up for it."

"Hehe, little meaning, I like to cooperate to make a fortune, I hate people who break the rules the most."

There's something to delay, I'll post another chapter at four o'clock in the afternoon.
