Chapter 85 Investment comes to your doorstep (10th update, please subscribe)

As a Spring Festival movie, "Party A and Party B" is still in theaters. It has been in theaters for almost two months now, and the box office has reached 37 million.

After experiencing a small upsurge during the Spring Festival holiday, box office growth has flattened out again, with room for growth of at most one million yuan.

There is no point in continuing to extend the release cycle. The film will be taken off the shelves by the end of February.

As Qi Wei expected, the man chose to swallow his anger for the time being, and no news about himself and Gao Yuanyuan broke out.

After fixing Gao Yuanyuan and relaxing with her for a few days, in late February, Qi Wei, who was in high spirits, began to devote himself to the production of a new album.

Just as he started to work, a group of uninvited guests came to Qi Wei's film and television company.

As a distinguished guest arrived, Qi Wei immediately put down his work and rushed from his record company to his film and television company.

Hmm... They're all in the same office building, just upstairs.

"Mr. Han, you are an elder. How dare I trouble you to go there in person? If anything happens, just make a call. I will listen to you."

When he saw Qi Wei, he immediately greeted him warmly and said complimentary words.

When Qi Wei went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, he saw two people following Han Sanping. Although he didn't know them, he probably guessed some of their intentions.

Han Sanping said with a smile: "It's like this. Part of the box office share of "Party A and Party B" has already been paid. I'm here to inform you that it will be credited to your account in a few days."

"I shouldn't bother you with this matter." Qi Wei glanced at the two people behind Han Sanping and continued:

"Mr. Han, I made a fortune with you this time. This junior is a little greedy. Can you introduce some more projects so that I can have another sip of soup?"

"Are you still interested in film investment?"

"Of course, you see, I have established a film and television company now, so I definitely want to make a difference in film and television."

"OK!"

This was what Han Sanjing wanted. He laughed and introduced the two people who came together to Qi Wei.

"This is Director Kang of Xiaoxiang Studio, and this is Director Huo Jianqi."

Qi Wei warmly stretched out his hand to shake hands one by one, and took the initiative to introduce himself: "Director Kang, hello Director Huo, I am Qi Wei. It is an honor to meet you two."

"Young man, that's good. You're young and promising." Director Kang praised with a smile, and then said straight to the point:

"You are young, so I will call you Xiao Qi. I wonder if you have read "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" by writer Peng Jianming?"

While Director Kang was talking, Director Huo Jianqi who was standing next to him handed a script to Qi Wei.

"Is it a story about a rural postman? I think I've seen it before, but I can't remember it clearly. It's a very tender story."

Qi Wei pretended to be embarrassed and smiled, and began to read the adapted script.

While quickly flipping through the script, Qi Wei had already begun to brainstorm memories for later generations and recalled this novel.

Director Kang said: "This is a very good story. We intend to adapt this novel into a movie and have Teacher Teng Rujun star in it, but..."

"Did you encounter any problems?" Qi Wei asked knowingly.

Director Huo Jianqi was a bit embarrassed and answered truthfully: "There are not many investors interested in this film. We have not attracted enough investment so far."

"This is alms that have come to my home!" Qi Wei thought to himself that it was indeed the case.

The novel "That Mountain Man That Dog" itself does not have ups and downs of the plot. In order to retain the essence of the original work, the adapted script is the same. The story is warm but the plot is simple, and the story pace is slow and cliche.

It tells a story from the countryside. Mainland audiences have long been tired of watching this kind of movie, and it is not popular at all.

If the audience doesn't like it, it means there will be no box office if they don't go into the cinema. If there is no box office, it means the investment will be a loss. Knowing the loss means that no one is willing to invest in being taken advantage of.

Investors in literary films adapted from novels like this will not like it, but it is very popular with these mainland filmmakers.

It's a pity that after the film reform, all major film studios have to bear the responsibility for their own profits and losses. Even Beijing Film Studio, the best-operated film studio in the mainland, has to sell quotas to complete shooting tasks, let alone other film studios.

It is simply impossible to provide as much protection as the previous literary and artistic films, and Director Kang of Xiaoxiang Film Studio is also powerless.

Director Kang had a close relationship with Han Sanping, so he found Han Sanping.

And now he found Qi Wei again.

Qi Wei thought about it for a while and then asked, "I wonder how much investment this movie requires?"

Director Kang replied: "The plan is three million."

"Then how much investment have you attracted?"

When Qi Wei asked, Director Huo Jianqi stretched out two fingers in embarrassment.

Qi Wei frowned and said to himself: "Two million, which means there is still one million missing."

Director Huo Jianqi corrected him: "It's not two million, it's two hundred thousand."

"."

Qi Wei was speechless and felt a little embarrassed for them. It seemed that no one was optimistic about this movie project and no one was willing to invest.

Seeing that Qi Wei was silent and seemed unwilling to invest, director Huo Jianqi quickly said: "It doesn't need as much as three million, two and a half million is about the same. I really think it is too much, we can save a little, two million

I can make do with it.”

Pay attention to Qi Wei's expression while bargaining.

At this time, Qi Wei closed the script, glanced at Han Sanping, and said directly: "Don't bother me, I quite like this script. My film and television company will invest the remaining two hundred and eighty yuan in this movie."

Thousands of dollars."

In fact, as long as it is the people and film projects brought by Han Sanping, Qi Wei will invest in it no matter what film project it is.

Why?

Qi Wei had previously invested in "Party A and Party B", which seemed to have solved Han Sanping's urgent need and left Han Sanping in debt.

But with the box office success of "Party A and Party B", this movie will bring Qi Wei several times the investment income, and the situation is different.

My project has made you a lot of money. People who are ungrateful will think that they are not owed any favors. If they are more sinister, they will even think that you are taking advantage of the situation and stealing the fruits of victory.

The human heart is the most complex.

For the future development of the film and television company, to climb the big tree of Han San Ping, and to be more safe, Qi Wei is not prepared to take back the 1.5 million investment and income.

The money itself is nothing to Qi Wei now. In this case, it is better to follow the trend and give Han Sanjing a favor.

If you sell a favor, sell it to the end.

If he wants to invest in any movie, then he will invest in that movie.

As the saying goes, losses are blessings. If Han San Ping lets you invest in a film and television project that suffers a loss, he will definitely make up for it somewhere. The more obedient you are, the more you will make up for.

If you look at Huayi Brothers, you will understand that Han Sanping later made Huayi Brothers invest in director Chen's "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" and Jiang Wen's "The Devil Is Coming". These two movies made Huayi Brothers miserable.

, and then began to provide strong support to Huayi Brothers’ resources.

And the most important point is that the film project "The Mountain, That Man, That Dog" is not a money-loser at all.

This movie is indeed not popular with mainland audiences, and it will not be able to sell at the box office in the mainland.

But this is not necessarily the case abroad.

Others think this is a hot potato, but who would have thought it was a piece of beautiful jade wrapped in rocks.

Naturally, Qi Wei would not miss the fat meat delivered to his door.
