Chapter 403: Investing in Movies
"Are you Mr. Yun Wanderer?" Looking at Qin Yuan in front of him, Hong Yan immediately got up to greet him, and Xu Ke on the side also stood up with a smile.
And the assistant didn't want to stand up, but when he saw that Xu Ke had stood up, he reluctantly stood up.
But he deliberately rolled his eyes, looking disgusted.
After all, in his opinion, Xu Ke is a big director on Hong Kong Island, and even a first-line star on Hong Kong Island must be respectful in front of Xu Ke.
And as Xu Ke's assistant, he has seen this kind of thing a lot during this time, so it is natural to think that a small author should be more respectful to them.
But the author in front of him made them wait for so long, and now he even asked him to make a smile with him, he was naturally very unhappy!
Although he is not Xu Ke himself, this period of time by Xu Ke's side has made him arrogant and feel superior.
At this moment, if Qin Yuan knew that Xu Ke himself was not floating, but his little assistant was floating, I don't know how he would feel.
Qin Yuan naturally saw the disgusted expression on this assistant's face, but looking at Xu Ke in front of him, he smiled and ignored it.
"Mr. Yun Youliren, how do I think you are a little familiar! Have we seen each other somewhere? At this moment, Qin Yuan was wearing a mask and couldn't see his face.
But even so, Xu Ke always felt that he was very familiar, and he squinted at Qin Yuan's eyes, trying to see something in his eyes.
After a while, he was shocked, and then pointed his finger at Qin Yuan in shock, and said, "You. You shouldn't be."
Looking at Xu Ke's shocked and incomprehensible look, Hong Yan and Liu Xi around him felt inexplicable.
Before they could figure out what was going on, Qin Yuan laughed out loud, and then took off the mask on his face.
"Director Xu, long time no see! I didn't expect you to recognize me, I'm so flattered! Qin Yuan said with a smile.
“!!!!” Hong Yan.
“!!!!” Liu Xi.
Seeing Qin Yuan in front of him take off his mask, revealing a handsome and familiar face, Hong Yan and Liu Xi were stunned.
Hong Yan, in particular, screamed in shock: "Qin Yuan, you. . You are Qin Yuan! ”
Looking at the incredible Hong Yan, Qin Yuan smiled and moved his gaze to her, and then said very politely: "Editor Hong, you are good!"
When I called you before, I felt that you should be a big beauty, but I didn't expect it to be really guessed by me, the first time we met, a lot of advice! ”
As Qin Yuan spoke, he stretched out his hand towards Hong Yan, and at this moment, Hong Yan only felt like he was in a dream.
She never thought that the person who wrote the phenomenal Internet fantasy like "The Legend of Wukong" turned out to be her idol - Qin Yuan.
The news was no less than dropping a bomb on a calm lake, and the ripples were like stormy waves, covering her all.
So much so that she was stunned on the spot, and she didn't know what to say for a while, she just instinctively stretched out her hand and shook it with Qin Yuan.
Then she looked at Qin Yuan like a nymphomaniac, and she didn't know how to let go.
"Editor Hong, what's wrong with you? You okay? Seeing that Hong Yan had been holding his hand and was unwilling to let go, Qin Yuan's face couldn't help but show a trace of an embarrassed smile.
Although it was not the first time he had encountered such a situation, he still inevitably felt embarrassed every time!
However, he can also understand Hong Yan's performance.
After all, he is now a veritable star, and in the eyes of ordinary people, he is as bright and unattainable as a star in the sky.
Therefore, when one day he appears in front of ordinary people, especially his fans, that star aura will be magnified to the extreme.
And in this case, the result is that they can't help but do a lot of crazy things.
Hong Yan in front of him just held his hand and didn't let go, which was already very calm and polite.
He remembered that in his previous life, he had a female fan who directly picked up his bird as soon as he came up, and he couldn't wait to have a child with him on the spot.
"It seems that Miss Hong regards you as her idol! Only when you meet idols will you mess up! At this time, Xu Ke on the side said with a smile.
Hearing this, Hong Yan came back to her senses, and then quickly let go of her hand, and her face turned red and hot in an instant.
"Mr. Qin, I'm really sorry, I never thought that you would be the author of "The Legend of Wukong", this is incredible."
"Yes! I didn't expect you kid to write, you guy is simply a demon! Just ask what else in this world you wouldn't? ”
Xu Ke also said with a shocked face, for Qin Yuan in front of him, he is really convinced, if he is not convinced, he can't do it!
This guy is completely omnipotent, calligraphy, poetry, songs, musical instruments, and now another one has popped up, and there are so many things that will do it.
The key is that for ordinary people, it is already very rare to have one thing to do, but Qin Yuan is proficient in everything, so he asked who else!
"Yes, I won't have a baby!" Qin Yuan said with a smile.
“.” Xu Ke.
"You kid don't tell me these bad jokes, it's not funny at all."
"Hehe, don't talk about it, let's all sit down!"
Hearing this, several people nodded, and then sat down together.
And Liu Xi, who was still blushing at Qin Yuan just now, was chilling at the moment, and he didn't dare to say a word of.
Before that, he had always thought that the person they were waiting for was just a small online writer, but now he found out that the other party was Qin Yuan.
Qin Yuan, the name of the Qin family, he has naturally heard of it, Qin Yuan's reputation is now even in their Hong Kong Island, it is like thunder.
Not to mention that he himself has created so many popular pop songs that have swept the entire Hong Kong Island, let's just talk about the new album released by Zhang Guolong not long ago.
There are five songs in it that were created by Qin Yuan, and now these five songs dominate the music platform of the entire Hong Kong Island, which makes Zhang Guolong's fame go to the next level.
Therefore, there is a popular saying in the music circle of their Hong Kong Island, that is, if you want to be popular, go to Qin Yuan to write a song, as long as the other party is willing to write a song for you, then you don't have to worry about it in your life.
It can be seen from this that Qin Yuan is now so well-known on Hong Kong Island, which is no less than their superstar.
It can even be said that in front of Qin Yuan, the so-called superstars on Hong Kong Island have to be in the back row, just like that!
In this way, where did he dare to show his face to Qin Yuan, the other party didn't directly let him go, he was going to burn high incense!
"Stinky boy, you hurt me so hard, I knew that the author of "The Legend of Wukong" was you, why did I have to go so far, I just had to contact you by phone.
Wait, I remember, I remember the last time I talked to you about the book "The Legend of Wukong", and at that time I expressed the idea of wanting to adapt it.
At that time, I also told you that you were asked to play the protagonist Sun Wukong in it, and I remember that you smiled and said that as long as you got the adaptation rights, you would agree to participate.
Good guy, now that I think about it, I feel like I was a fool at the time, you bastard, you obviously wrote the book yourself, and you actually pretended to be stupid.
I really want to strangle you right now! Looking at Qin Yuan in front of him, thinking of the conversation with him at the beginning, Xu Ke couldn't help but want to beat Qin Yuan.
However, Qin Yuan laughed, and then hurriedly apologized: "Director Xu, I was wrong, I was wrong, I have a treat tonight, and I will make amends for you."
But at that time, I really wasn't ready to reveal my identity as an author, so in order not to cause trouble, I didn't say anything. ”
"Hmph, it's sure to invite you to dinner, but it's not this one, when you arrive in Yanjing one day, I'll slaughter you well, after all, the prices there are expensive."
“.” Qin Yuan.
"You just said you weren't ready before, so that means you're ready now? Planning to publish your authorship? ”
"Actually, not yet, only the three of you know the identity of my author now, so please keep it a secret for me!"
"I said Qin, everyone, you have so many halos on your head, are you still worried that you won't be able to do it again?"
"Secret, anyway, it's not the time to announce this identity, when the time comes, I'll tell the world."
"Since you said so, then we will definitely help you keep it secret, but I also have conditions!" A sly smile appeared on Xu Ke's face.
Hearing Xu Ke say this, Qin Yuan smiled bitterly: "Say it!" What conditions? As long as it's not too much, I can consider taking a look. ”
"Don't worry, it's very simple for you, first of all, you have to sell me the film copyright of "The Legend of Wukong", and the price is 5 million for three years.
Then you have to participate in the filming of the movie, the role is Monkey King, as long as you agree to these two conditions, I promise not to leak secrets.
Otherwise, I'll turn around and disclose your identity as an online author! Xu Ke raised his eyebrows, looking determined to win.
"You threaten me?"
"If you think so, I can't do anything, the threat is threatened, speaking of which you tricked me into coming to Inner Mongolia, I haven't settled accounts with you yet!"
"It's no problem to promise you to participate in the movie, but my starring fee is not low, are you sure you can afford it?" Qin Yuan said with a smile.
"Well, it's not too much to make a 50% discount based on our relationship, right?"
"Five-fold is also very expensive, you know, now there are many variety shows that invite me, and the price offered to me is up to 60 million."
"60 million! Are they crazy! I only used 60 million to make a movie! ”
"I also thought they were crazy, so I didn't agree to go, but that's the case at my current market price, do you still want me to act?"
"Do you want to stop discounting a little bit? Trifold? ”
"18 million?"
"Well, that's the highest price I can give."
“ok! Deal! ”
"No, why did you agree so happily and didn't bargain with me, did you trick me?"
"Look at what you're saying, do you think I look like that kind of person?"
"You don't feel like it, because you are!"
“.” Qin Yuan.
"Okay, seriously, if you want me to participate in "The Legend of Wukong", I can agree, but I also have conditions.
The 5 million copyright fee you said + my starring fee of 18 million, you don't have to give it to me, because I want to exchange this money for investment in this movie.
In other words, I want to invest in the movie "The Legend of Wukong", and if I make money in the later stage, you can just give me dividends. ”
"What! You're going to take a stake in this movie! Willing to invest 23 million in me? ”
"It's not 23 million, 5 million of the film copyright fee, and the platform is four or six open with me, so you have to pay 2 million to the platform, I only have 3 million, plus my starring fee of 18 million, which is a total investment of 21 million!"
"21 million! Are you sure you voted for me? ”
"Of course, who can not know the name of your director Xu Da, I am still very confident in your strength, and this investment will definitely not be lost."
"Okay, since you said so, then it's decided, my original plan was to spend 40 million to shoot this movie, and then use 20 million to promote it.
Now that you have joined, then I can save half of the 20 million for publicity and change it to 50 million shooting, and try to fill the special effects as much as possible.
Then the later publicity will depend on you, after all, your current fame in China can be said to be unparalleled, if you are willing to promote the movie, it is difficult for this movie to be popular!
Once the movie becomes popular, you, the major shareholder who accounts for one-third of the total investment, will inevitably make a lot of money at that time! Xu Ke said excitedly.
"Don't put a high hat on me, the quality of the movie comes first, and my publicity alone can't give you a cover."
"That's natural, making movies well is my most basic professional quality, and I still have this confidence."
"Okay, it's enough to have your words, then let's make a decision, when do you plan to start filming "The Legend of Wukong"?"
"This has to be scheduled at least after June, because on May 1, Labor Day, "A Chinese Ghost Story" will be released, so my focus during this time must be on the promotion of the movie. And when are you free? ”
"Me? I guess it's going to be 2 months from now! By then, I should be able to complete my goal of traveling around the Dragon Kingdom. Qin Yuan thought for a while and said.
"That's right, then let's start it in July."
"Okay, that's the case for now." Qin Yuan nodded, July was still 3 months away, and this time was enough time for him to complete the goal of traveling around the Dragon Kingdom.
When the time comes, he can film slowly, and by the way, think about how to create something that has a bigger sensational effect.
After finalizing these things with Xu Ke, the group began to eat with chopsticks.
And seeing that Qin Yuan and Xu Ke had finalized the matter of the film copyright so quickly, Hong Yan and Liu Xi were stunned.
They thought that this negotiation would take a lot of time, but they didn't expect it to be so fast, and the two of them opened and closed their mouths to tens of millions, which felt as if money was not money.
