Chapter 160: Investing in a bad movie to scare the monkeys
Wang Changtian stammered, "When the time comes...when the time comes, we brothers...we will work together to snipe this bastard Yang Hao, and see if he...if he dares not to take us to play with him when he has a good project."
Wang Zhongjun and Wang Changtian both looked a little drunk. They could hardly stand and spoke clearly. But when they separated and got into their respective cars, they no longer looked drunk at all.
Everything that happened just now was all fake.
They all have the surname Wang, they are all thousand-year-old foxes, and they are all thinking about scheming against each other.
-
After the celebration banquet, outside the West Third Ring Road of BJ, in an ancient tea room, a complete set of tea sets was placed on a bamboo-woven tea table.
A young girl wearing Hanfu was demonstrating the art of tea gracefully.
Behind the screen not far away, there was a highly skilled musician playing ancient music on the guzheng.
Yang Hao, Ci Peikang and Mr. Jiang sat aside, listening to music, drinking tea and chatting.
Some topics that were difficult to talk about at the dinner table before are now appropriate to talk about.
"Yang Hao, tell us first what you think about the project of "Detective Chinatown Detectives," the few of them chatted while drinking the fragrant tea prepared by the young girl. Finally, it was Ci Peikang who brought the topic to the main topic of today.
"Mr. Ci, let's distribute it the same as last time when we made The Richest Tomato!" The last time when we made The Richest Tomato, the investment shares were 10% by China Film, 10% by Wanda, and 80% by Yang Hao. Yang Hao still wants to maintain this ratio.
After hearing Yang Hao's words, Ci Peikang and Mr. Jiang looked at each other, and it was obvious that they had reached a tacit understanding.
"10% is really too little. Let's say China Film invest 20%," Ci Peikang determined the investment ratio.
Ci Peikang's tone that did not allow for rebuttal made Yang Hao very unhappy, but considering the other party's identity, as well as the helmsman of China Film Corporation, Yang Hao really did not have the confidence to refute.
Yang Hao fell silent.
“Let’s invest 15% of the shares!” Wanda’s President Jiang suggested to smooth things over when he saw the silence in the room.
Yang Hao now understood that President Jiang and Ci Peikang were playing the good cop and the bad cop respectively in order to increase their own investment shares.
Although I have always had a pleasant cooperation with China Film and Wanda.
But no matter how close the relationship is, it is not as good as real money.
Interests move people's hearts.
Last time, the box office of "The Richest Tomato" was as high as 20 billion yuan, and Wanda and China Film only had a 10% investment share, which was considered a small portion of the profit, and it obviously could not satisfy each other's appetite.
Yang Hao had a brilliant record at this time, and President Jiang and Ci Peikang did not think that the "Detective Chinatown" project was at risk of losing money.
"Okay!" Giving up 30% of the share was still within an acceptable range for him.
In the final investment plan, Wanda holds a 15% investment share and China Film holds a 15% investment share.
The person in charge of China Film Group was replaced by Ci Peikang, who was different from Han Sanpin after all.
If we negotiate with Han Sanpin, we will definitely be able to maintain the investment ratio of "The Richest Tomato".
It can only be said that a new emperor appoints new ministers.
Walking out of the tea room and feeling the cool breeze outside, Yang Hao felt much more sober, and the slight drunkenness in his head disappeared.
Yang Hao suddenly realized that he seemed to be burdened by his fame.
His unbeaten record in film and television investment has certainly brought him a lot of convenience, but the profits from it have also made many people jealous.
This time the investment share is 15 percent.
If the "Detective Chinatown" project continues to be successful, will the next project have a 20% investment share?
The next project will be a 25% investment share?
Of course, this is my own project. If I insist on not giving up my share, China Film and Wanda will have no way to do anything to me.
But Yang Hao knew very well that if he continued to eat alone, he might be boycotted by the entire industry in the end. If faced with that situation, even if he had a system, he would not be able to survive in the Chinese entertainment industry.
But the investment shares distributed are too large, and the proportion of one's own profits is too low. If the system's cash rebate is used, wouldn't it be just helping others?
We must think of a way to counter the other party.
Yang Hao was not in a hurry to return to the hotel. He sat in the company's business car and thought about things.
"Boss, are we going back to the hotel now?" asked his driver Zhang Qiang.
"Do you have a cigarette?" Yang Hao did not answer Zhang Qiang's question, but asked the other party for a cigarette.
Zhang Qiang handed a cigarette from the cigarette box in his pocket to Yang Hao.
Yang Hao took it and looked at it, it was still a soft Zhonghua cigarette.
Yang Hao looked at Zhang Qiang in surprise. He didn't expect that his driver was such a high-end smoker.
"Hey, boss, as a man, you must always prepare a pack of good cigarettes for socializing outside. I don't smoke soft Zhonghua cigarettes myself," Zhang Qiang said, and took out the Hongtashan cigarette from his other pocket to show Yang Hao.
Yang Hao was a smoker in his previous life, but he quit in this life because he became a celebrity and smoking had a bad impact on the public.
He lit the cigarette and took a slow puff. The fragrance entered his lungs and his mind became clear.
At this moment, Yang Hao suddenly thought of Shen Teng.
In his previous life, Shen Teng had many representative works, but even more bad films.
Maybe I should also invest in a bad movie that will result in huge losses.
He has always been so successful and is really dazzling in this entertainment industry.
A big tree attracts the wind, and it will break if it is too strong. Investing in some bad movies may not be a bad thing.
Moreover, they have their own rebate system, so they may not lose much from the bad movies that others make huge losses on.
If you have experience of investment failure, when others are thinking about your own projects, they may be cautious and dare not invest too high a proportion. This is a good thing for you.
After figuring this out, Yang Hao's mood instantly improved.
But what projects to invest in?
Suddenly Yang Hao thought of "Shanghai Fortress".
In its previous life, this movie had an investment of 3.6 million yuan, but the box office was only 1.2 million yuan, an epic flop that made all the investors lose all their money.
But who is being tricked by this project?
Suddenly Yang Hao thought of Huayi. The big and small Wangs of Huayi had always been against him and wanted to invest in his movie. He really wanted to be peach.
Since you want to cooperate so much, let’s cooperate with you through "Shanghai Fortress".
Thinking of how the big and small Wangs of Huayi were tricked by him and were almost in ecstasy, Yang Hao felt an inexplicable sense of pleasure and was really looking forward to working with them on this movie.
Yang Hao was in a very happy mood at this time, but Da Tiantian was very unhappy staying in the hotel room.
I had agreed with Yang Hao to meet after the celebration banquet, but after the banquet, I couldn't find him.
"Hmph! You dare to stand me up? Just wait and see," Da Tiantian muttered to herself as she lay on the soft big bed in the hotel.
"Oh no, I forgot about Da Tiantian!" Yang Hao, sitting in the business car, suddenly thought of the agreement with Da Tiantian.
"Go back to the hotel quickly," Yang Hao hurriedly said to his driver Zhang Qiang.
"Okay, boss," the business car started as he spoke.
