The next day, Xu Yang asked Zhang Yi to take him to the place discussed yesterday, only to find that Xu Zheng and Wang Baobao were already waiting for him at the door.

"What are you waiting for here? You're not an outsider. Let's go in and talk."

After getting out of the car, without exchanging a few words, Xu Yang pulled the two of them back. Although he could understand their mood, it was indeed a bit too much to follow him when he went out.

Not talking about their status, it’s just that Xu Yang and Wang Baobao have known each other for four years, which is no shorter than the time they have known Liu Shishi, so they can’t let the two of them hold each other like this.

After all three people entered the box and took their seats, Wang Baobao smiled and said to Xu Yang, "I'm looking for you if I have something to do. When you're looking for someone to do something, you have to have the attitude of looking for someone to do something."

After saying that, he poured a cup of tea himself and handed it to Xu Yang. Xu Yang took the tea but said nothing.

After Wang Baobao and Xu Zheng looked at each other, Xu Zheng said: "Let's not talk about it for now. I haven't thanked you for investing in Jiantu last time. This time I will lend you flowers and offer Buddha to treat you well."

Hearing this, Xu Yang smiled and said, "You don't have to be so polite. I'm happy that "囧TU" is selling well. At least I made a lot of money."

"Is the movie also facing funding problems this time?"

Xu Yang had no intention of playing riddles with them, and went straight to the point, talking about what Wang Baobao told him last night.

Wang Baobao saw Xu Yang directly asking about the situation, so he poked Xu Zheng and asked him to speak.

Xu Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then quickly said: "Yes, I wanted to make a series of "囧", but my old club felt that my asking price was too high, so the negotiation failed."

"Then what do you think, should I invest or star?"

Xu Zheng smiled bitterly in his heart, the situation he was most worried about was coming.

Other people's investors were actors, but this one was better, and I wanted to act directly.

However, he is also an outstanding graduate of a serious film school, so it is understandable that he wants to act in movies.

It's just that there was no role for Xu Yang in this movie from the beginning. What should Xu Zheng say?

Perhaps because he saw Xu Zheng's difficulty, Xu Yang did not make things difficult for him.

"Let's see, I won't act in the movie, and I'll make up for whatever the lack of funds is."

Xu Zheng was visibly relieved and wanted to say a few more polite words, but Wang Baobao agreed.

"This will be of great help to us. Don't worry, this drama will definitely not be able to accompany you. Do you think it is Xu Zheng?"

"Ah, yes, yes." Xu Zheng looked helpless.

He felt that he still needed to bargain with Xu Yang, but he didn't expect Wang Baobao to agree so quickly, so he could only follow his words and agree.

Otherwise, let’s not talk about Xu Guangtou’s moral character and private life. It’s just that later generations tricked a group of his peers to death. This fact can be seen that this man can only share hardships but not wealth.

Therefore, Xu Yang also deliberately gave Xu Zheng a beating to avoid making him feel that he was a fad.

Although he was originally a celebrity, Baldy Xu was as famous as a few niche actors in the 2000s, but most of them were in TV series.

It was not until the release of the "囧" series that he appeared on the big screen and had his representative works.

After that, it became even more uncontrollable, and even starred in a movie like Medicine God that was both well-received and well-received, and will remain in the history of Chinese-language movies.

Then it drifted away, which cannot be said to be drifting. It has different understandings from different angles.

But from the perspective of an investor like Xu Yang, Xu Zheng is definitely not a good partner, because you don't know whether he will do something outrageous after he is gone.

What? If you ask, Xu Yang is also a TV star, not even as good as others. He has never starred in a movie.

At any time, if you have money, you are the uncle. Now that Xu Yang has money, he is the uncle now.

Seeing that Xu Yang had no other expression, Xu Zheng quickly told Xu Yang about part of the film's content and production plan. In the end, it was the investment issue.

"The total investment in this movie is 30 million, and now there is still a shortfall of 20 million."

Xu Yang nodded, and then said under the expectant gazes of the two people: "I will fill this gap, but I also have requirements."

Xu Zheng and Wang Baobao looked at each other, and then asked: "What's the request?"

Xu Yang suddenly sat up straight and said: "I can help you make up for the funding gap, and I can also pay part of the publicity and distribution expenses, but I will not participate in the publicity and distribution after the production is completed."

"What you do in the end is entirely up to you. The movie was a hit, and I made money while I was there. Now that the movie is going on, I don't blame you."

After hearing this, the two of them were a little shocked for a while. They didn't expect Xu Yang to be so courageous.

Not only did they make up for the funding gap, they also paid part of the publicity and distribution expenses, and the price they paid was simply that Xu Yangfang would not participate in subsequent publicity and distribution.

However, this price is really a drop in the bucket for them.

Before coming, they were all prepared for the worst, and changed the script to allow Yang to add a role.

But Xu Yang just agreed, which really made them a little uncomfortable.

Perhaps, as Xu Yang said, he just wanted to make money while lying down?

However, no matter what, Xu Zheng and his colleagues achieved their goal, obtained investment, and guaranteed the autonomy of creation, which was perfect.

Two days later, Yang Ting and the legal department held a tripartite meeting with Xu Zheng and Guangguang, and together they finalized the investment for the movie "囧".

Xu Yangfang occupied 60% of the investment share with 25 million, and there will be no additional investment in the future, and the investment share remains unchanged.

Ray Ray’s RMB 15 million accounts for 30% of the investment share, and subsequent publicity expenses will be borne by Ray Ray.

The actual total production cost of the movie was just over 20 million, but everyone supported it with nearly 20 million in publicity and distribution expenses.

This is enough to show that everyone attaches great importance to "Thailand". Xu Yang is just a cheater, but the others are not cheaters.

This made Xu Yang sigh. Sure enough, no one who can prosper in the entertainment industry is simple.

They may not see the potential of "囧囧", but they still want to take a gamble because its predecessor "囧囧路" proved itself.

The investment of tens of millions does not really matter to a theater chain of the size of Raytheon. What they care more about is how much increase or decrease this movie can bring to their stock market.

This is why they know that their investment share is not large, but they still want others to bear the risk.

They fully supported Xu Yang's entry into the game because Xu Yang invested the most and took the greatest risks.

But if the movie performs well in the end and can earn hundreds of millions at the box office, the biggest gainer will still be the light.

After all, Xu Yang needs at least 120 million at the box office to make his money back, but as long as the final box office of the movie is no less than 100 million, Ray Rays will make money.

One is to get back one's capital, and the other is to make a small profit. Everyone knows what to choose.

Others laugh at me for being too crazy, and I laugh at them but they can’t see through it. This is probably how Xu Yang felt at this time.

If others don’t know the horror of “囧”, doesn’t he still understand?

The first domestic movie to gross over 1 billion, directly brought the domestic movie box office to the double-digit era.

With a box office of 1.2 billion, if you only use 25 million to get 60% of the investment share, you will make a profit.

Now the light and Xu Zheng are having fun, but later they will laugh and cry.

After seeing off the light, Xu Zheng and his party were also present. Yang Ting and Xu Yang were sitting in the back seat together, while Zhang Yi, Rongsheng Xu Yang's agent, was driving in front.

Zhang Yi: I will drive when I am an assistant, and I will drive when I am promoted to an agent. Isn’t the rest of my life in vain?

"Don't you hate Xu Zheng a little? I see you've tricked him a little bit this time."

Xu Yang, who was closing his eyes to rest, opened his eyes and said, "I'm not, I'm not, don't talk nonsense."

What a denial three times. If Yang Ting and Xu Yang hadn't been together for five years, they might have been deceived.

"Haha, do you think I will believe it?"

Without giving Xu Yang a chance to refute, Yang Ting was analyzing how Xu Yang tricked Xu Zheng.

"First of all, Xu Zheng is directing and acting this time. Counting the remuneration and other factors, the total is only a few million."

"In the end, no matter what the movie is like, it has nothing to do with him anyway. It's like working for you in vain."

"The other thing is, you have such a bad temper and can't afford to be early. If you invest such a large amount of money in this movie, it means you are very optimistic about this movie."

"Then there is a high probability that Xu Zheng will earn money for you after being sold by you. After earning money, he will have to count it out and deliver it to you."

"If he doesn't make good money and make this movie well, then his work these past few years will be in vain and he will be kicked out of the film industry."

"So, you're still saying that you didn't make people miserable?"

Xu Yang still didn't speak, but Zhang Yi, who was driving, was speechless.

He was also present when Xu Yang was talking to Xu Zheng and Wang Baobao, and he was also present when the contract was signed today.

But why couldn't he see that his boss had tricked Guangtou Xu so badly? If Yang Ting hadn't analyzed the probability, he wouldn't have known it.

Although it was almost analyzed by Yang Ting, Xu Yang never admitted that this happened.

However, it was this refusal to admit that made Yang Ting solidify her thoughts, because if Xu Yang admitted it, she would think that Xu Yang was joking.

But if it was true, Xu Yang would never speak out about such a thing, even if she and Zhang Yi were by his side.

Yang Ting also has some understanding of Xu Yang's temperament. She seems to be informal, but she has a very clear bottom line on some sensitive issues and will never follow the truth.

In the end, even Xu Yang himself felt that it was a bit fake, so he simply talked about other things.

"Has the concert time been set yet?"

Yang Ting was asked so abruptly, and she didn't react yet. Fortunately, she remembered some things in her mind, and after a little thought, she came up with an answer.

"It should be in mid-October. Until the concert ends before the Spring Festival next year, we are still communicating and discussing the cities. However, the four cities of Beijing, Magic City, Star City, Chang'an are the first to be negotiated. Let's continue to discuss the rest."

Xu Yang nodded and said: "It doesn't have to be limited to first- and second-tier cities. You can also bring out some cities that have characteristics and are well-known across the country."

Yang Ting was silent, and then she remembered these words in her heart, as well as Xu Yang's attitude.
