Prosperity: Financial circle on the left, entertainment circle on the right

I have to say that Xiangjiang is indeed a highly efficient place.

Cooperation between businessmen is not just about negotiation and signing of contracts.

Even director Xu Xu, who goes out to solicit investment, always carries a script with one hand and a contract with the other.

After Liu Xiaobao made his choice, Xu Wei immediately took out a contract.

It’s not that Liu Xiaobao is less trustworthy than Xu Biao, but that he must be cautious when doing business. Moreover, it is Liu Xiaobao’s first time investing in a movie, so he naturally has to understand the contract so that he can be aware of it when investing in other movies in the future.

So Liu Xiaobao read the contract carefully in front of Xu Xu.

Liu Xiaobao found that there was nothing wrong with the contract, and half of his investment would be transferred to Xu Xu Film Studio's company account before filming started.

After the movie starts shooting, when the shooting progress reaches one-third, the other half of the investment will be transferred.

Liu Xiaobao understands that this operation is also to minimize the investment risk of investors and avoid being taken away with all the funds when someone takes away the money.

The proportion of returns is also distributed according to the budgeted investment proportion, but taxes and theater sharing must be removed first, as well as the principal.

For example, the investment budget for"New Crane and Needle" is 8 million, and Liu Xiaobao invested 4 million.

Assuming that this movie has a box office of 20 million after its release, then the tax of about 12% must be removed first, then the price or share agreed upon by the theater chain, then the investment principal of 8 million, and finally The rest of the money is earned.

This is still the case where the director gets a salary. If the director gets a share, he has to factor in the director’s predetermined share.

Apart from the above, since Yang Gang accounted for half of the investment share of the final money earned, he will also receive half of this money.

After reading the contract, Liu Xiaobao finally understood the basic rules of film investment.

After checking that there was no problem with the contract, Liu Xiaobao signed the investment contract for"New Crane and Divine Needle" with Xu Xu on the spot.

And Liu Xiaobao and Xu Xu went to the bank together, and transferred two million to Xu Xu's film studio account through the company account of"Tianbao Entertainment Company".

Since then, the two have officially reached a cooperation.

It was just noon at this time. In order to get closer to Liu Xiaobao, the investor, Xu Xu specially invited Liu Xiaobao to have lunch together.

For future film investment, Liu Xiaobao also wanted to make friends with Xu Xu. The two hit it off and immediately found a restaurant to have lunch together.

When dining and socializing, drinking is inevitable.

Moreover, men’s friendship is usually gained through drinking.

At the dinner table, Liu Xiaobao and Xu Wei suddenly became familiar with each other as they exchanged cups and cups.

When they were very drunk, Xu Xu suddenly came to Liu Xiaobao's ear and said something mysteriously.

"Mr. Bao, tonight I will give you a gift that you are guaranteed to like, but you can’t tell anyone else casually!"

Liu Xiaobao actually didn't take Xu Xu's words seriously. He just said it casually.

"Then I will first toast Mr. Xu here and thank Director Xu for his kindness."

After having enough wine and food, Xu Xu had to do other things, so Liu Xiaobao did not hinder him anymore. After watching Xu Xu leave, Liu Xiaobao took Su Jie back to the Peninsula Hotel.

Now that the film investment matter is settled, he is in his hands. The funds were spent and the business was done, but Liu Xiaobao had no intention of leaving immediately to return to Pujiang.

He was still waiting for Xuezhi’s meal, and he was still thinking about pursuing Zhou Huimin!

At four o’clock in the afternoon, Liu Xiaobao gave Zhou Huimin made a phone call and wanted to have dinner with Zhou Huimin.

However, Zhou Huimin should be busy with work, and she didn’t answer the phone after three calls in a row.

Liu Xiaobao didn’t want to disturb Zhou Huimin’s work, so he gave up asking her to dinner and stayed in the room instead. Waiting for Xuezhi to come to find him.

And he waited until nine o'clock in the evening, but Xuezhi still didn't come.

Liu Xiaobao was very disappointed, and was about to go back to his room to sleep, when the doorbell suddenly rang.

Liu Xiaobao thought it was Xuezhi came and opened the door excitedly before Su Jie.

But after seeing the person outside the door, Liu Xiaobao was a little dumbfounded.

There was indeed a woman outside the door, a very beautiful woman, and Liu Xiaobao They also knew each other.

But the other person was not Xuezhi or Zhou Huimin, but Guan Zhilin, a famous beauty star in Hong Kong.

Seeing that the person coming was Guan Zhilin, Liu Xiaobao felt a little baffled, and immediately thought that Guan Zhilin must have found the wrong person. The door.

But Liu Xiaobao guessed wrong again. Guan Zhilin obviously did not find the wrong door. She asked Liu Xiaobao:"Are you Mr. Bao?"

Liu Xiaobao nodded blankly:"I am!""

"Hello, Mr. Bao, I am Guan Zhilin, um... there are many people passing by the door, can I go in first?"

"Uh...please come in!"

If Liu Xiaobao wants to invest in the entertainment industry, it is necessary to get to know more people in the entertainment industry, not to mention Guan Zhilin's reputation is not small. Therefore, although he does not know why Guan Zhilin came to him, Liu Xiaobao still said it and got out of the way. She moved her body and invited Guan Zhilin into the room.

As soon as Guan Zhilin entered the door, she saw Su Jie sitting on the sofa watching TV. She turned back to Liu Xiaobao and said,"Mr. Bao, can we talk alone?""

Liu Xiaobao hesitated for a moment, and after figuring out that Guan Zhilin was unlikely to be unfavorable to him, he gave Su Jie a look.

Su Jie understood and went back to his room.

At this time, Guan Zhilin sat down on the sofa..

Liu Xiaobao poured a glass of water for Guan Zhilin and asked her curiously.

"Miss Guan came to see me. Is there something wrong?"
