"Is Chen Cong out of his mind? He invested 30 million in "A Chinese Odyssey" and only bought a pre-credits ad?"
"Yeah, and Qian Fuqiang is also a rip-off. Ten million is still something I can consider, but twenty million, damn, what else can you do with twenty million? It's better to use it for a large-scale event than for the advertising fee of a movie... and twenty million is enough to make a medium-budget movie!"
"Yeah, I think so too. Twenty million is not worth it..."
“…”
In the evening, this group of investors gathered together for dinner at a well-known five-star hotel in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.
When they came up with "remote" entertainment, they all felt more or less frustrated.
They originally thought that they could get the advertising space for "A Chinese Odyssey" with a maximum of more than 10 million yuan, but two rich second-generations, Qian Fuqiang and Chen Cong, suddenly appeared in the middle.
One directly raised the price to over 20 million, and the other one raised the price of the advertising space to over 30 million!
Damn it!
Thirty million is spent on an advertising space, and that doesn’t include any share of the box office revenue. How do you expect them to compete for this?
Doesn’t this just kill the price?
Is this still possible to play like this?
In fact, if they didn't know that Young Master Chen would never curry favor with others to do those messy and dirty things in the circle, they would even think that Chen Cong was a person called by Lu Yuan directly.
This is really depressing.
However, after eating most of the food and drinking most of the wine in the hotel, these investors suddenly felt that Chen Cong was stupid.
Twenty million!
Thirty million!
What can't be done with this 50 million?
Are you spending money to invest in advertising space for a movie?
This is almost half of the investment of this movie, okay? Moreover, the script, actors and even the director of this movie have not been decided yet, and you are just going to do this?
Aren’t you afraid that the 50 million will be wasted?
The more they talked, the more excited they became, and the more they felt that these two rich second-generations were stupid.
"Hahaha, young people are young after all, and they can't keep their cool after all!"
"yes!"
"We are the ones who are giving them some leniency. If we just pretend to raise the price, Chen Cong might dare to raise it even higher!"
"Old Chen must be so angry that he is half dead!"
"That's for sure!"
Li Cheng from Weimeng Sanitary Ware drank a lot of wine and had a bright smile on his face.
He had actually always coveted the advertising space for "A Chinese Odyssey". In fact, he also felt that this was an opportunity.
But how could he take 30 million for an advertisement?
Are you kidding me…
This is a total losing business, okay?
"Haha, Mr. Li, Mr. Chen...you guys take your time eating, I'm going to the bathroom..."
"Go ahead! Haha, Mr. Liu, you can't handle it after drinking such a small amount of wine? That's too lame..."
"Haha, everyone, eat slowly, eat slowly."
After Li Cheng watched Changtong Industry's deputy general manager Liu Shaoan stagger out of the house, he showed a teasing smile on his face like everyone else.
No one noticed that Liu Shaoan, who had just scolded Chen Cong for being stupid at the dinner table, had a strange look on his face.
More than twenty minutes passed and Liu Shaoan didn't come back. Li Cheng didn't care and continued to laugh.
Everyone continue to eat...
Keep drinking.
"Haha, I can't handle the alcohol, I can't handle the alcohol, I'm going to the bathroom too... You guys drink slowly..."
"Yeah, hahahaha, you're old, right?"
"What do you mean old? Wait until I come back and we'll fight for another 300 rounds!"
"Haha, be careful when walking..."
“…”
At the table, Li Cheng was a little drunk. He noticed that there were fewer and fewer people at the table. They all ran away and never came back...
He was very strange.
Are these people trying to run away with the bill?
That’s not right. This table costs only about ten thousand dollars at most. No one would care about this, right?
Just when he was wondering, a text message from his assistant suddenly appeared on his phone, and the assistant sent him a news link...
Then he looked at the connection...
"China's first Venice Best Screenplay Award winner turned out to be..."
"Breaking news! The movie "17-Year-Old Bicycle" written by Lu Yuan won the Venice International Film Festival Grand Prize this afternoon, and Lu Yuan won the International Best Screenwriter Award!"
"Shocking news! Brando, the world's top pianist, is planning to go to China in person to talk to Lu Yuan about music?"
"Brando: I have the inspiration for the above composition. I hope to complete this piece of music with Lu Yuan!"
"China Piano Art Association: This is true. We have contacted the relevant people to prepare..."
“…”
After seeing the news, he was cheered up, and then thought of Lu Yuan’s "A Chinese Odyssey"!
Yes!
If Lu Yuan can win a big prize with any of his scripts, then surely this "A Chinese Odyssey" which he invested in himself will win another big prize!
etc!
this……
"Excuse me, everyone. I'm a little drunk too. I want to go to the bathroom. Everyone..."
“…”
He stood up, said hello to a few confused people at the table, and walked towards the balcony next to the bathroom.
When he came to the bathroom and was about to call Lu Yuan's company to ask about the end credits, he suddenly found dozens of people standing on the balcony...
These people, you look at me and I look at you.
“…”
This moment...
He understands!
…
The "remote" company's phone was flooded with calls.
Just when we thought the sponsorship issue was over and everything was getting back on track, the investors who had left came back.
Everyone has only one goal, which is to sponsor Chinese films and contribute to their development.
In short, they are all a group of people who love China.
They really hope that Lu Yuan can give them a chance to perform!
Wu Tingting refused this.
This movie has no shortage of investment, but there is no advertising space...
However, this group of investors unanimously asked about the advertising space at the end of the film.
Advertising space at the end of the film generally has little effect. After all, everyone has already watched the movie, so who would care about your advertising space?
Wu Tingting felt that it was really not good to cheat these people out of their money, so she naturally refused.
However, for some reason, these people became even more excited after being rejected, and they directly raised their demands from two million to five million...
Five million for a post-credits ad?
Damn it!
This is simply a sky-high price for advertising space in mainstream movies.
Moreover, these people were scrambling for the items as if they were afraid of being robbed, and their voices were quite alert.
Wu Tingting had no choice but to look for Lu Yuan...
"Boss Lu, what do you think we should do about this?"
"How many people?"
"About a dozen..."
"More than ten, fifty million?" Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes while sitting in the chair.
He was really dizzy.
Five million for a post-credits ad spot?
"yes."
"Oh... forget it, since they want to support our Chinese film so much, we have to give them a chance... After all, everyone's hearts are warm... I thought about it, 15 million investment in the film is indeed not enough. Since there are people supporting it, then we can't let them down, so let's increase some investment and make the film's special effects and details more meticulous!" Lu Yuan shook his head with a sighing expression.
"Boss Lu...are you really going to invest 100 million?"
"What do you mean one hundred million? Forty million! Wu Tingting, didn't I say before that the quality of a movie and its box office are not determined by a large investment... and our investment is already sky-high!"
"Mr. Lu, I understand."
"Go down."
"yes."
After Lu Yuan and Wu Tingting went down, the smile on his face was as brilliant as a blooming flower...
One hundred million!
Damn it!
The sponsorship fee alone amounted to 100 million!
Damn it!
It doesn’t cost a penny, but you’ll still make a lot of money after making the movie!
This is so fucking cool.
However, after a burst of joy and arrogance, Lu Yuan's smile gradually disappeared.
He had to read the theoretical knowledge for the driver's license and learn English. Now that Brando was coming to China, he had to brush up on his piano knowledge. If he hadn't brushed up on it, he would have to prepare a similar piano piece...
Complete piano piece...
Lu Yuan really only knew some melodies from his memory, and he couldn't play any other complete songs.
Lu Yuan was very depressed.
He was upset and wondered why he didn't learn piano systematically when he was reborn.
What a pity, why not a guitar...
If we talk about guitar music, Lu Yuan actually has a lot of it. After all, before his rebirth, Lu Yuan played the piano less than one-tenth of the number of times he played the guitar...
Guitar?
Wait, did I think of something?
Lu Yuan had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and then he forgot what he was thinking about.
Forget it!
Don’t think about it, let’s take the driving theory test first!
Lu Yuan scratched his head and held the book in agony.
There is a make-up exam tomorrow.
He has to seize the opportunity.
…
The distant Northwest.
The tents were set up and yellow sand filled the sky.
The crew of "Assembly" has just settled down here and is about to start filming.
During the break, Wei Changjun showed a look of shock on his face after reading today's almost explosive headlines.
But after the shock, he seemed to have thought of something, and his facial expression became strange.
"With 100 million in investment, it looks like the total investment for this movie will be close to 200 million. It might be one of the most expensive movies in China in recent years. Haha, it looks like our competitors this time are terrifying! It would be great if our premieres collided with each other."
"What's wrong, Director Wei?" Lu Yihong was very surprised.
"This time, our opponent has invested more than us, has a stronger cast of leading actors, and has a better reputation than us..."
"Director Wei, I am confident in our movie, and with Ayuan's script, I don't think we will lose. Besides, my acting skills are not inferior to anyone!" Lu Yihong looked at Wei Changjun and smoked a cigarette.
"Yes, Director Wei, we don't have to worry about anyone!" Liu Hao also nodded.
After hearing what Lu Yihong said, Wei Changjun not only did not feel relieved, but his expression became even weirder.
"No! Not necessarily this time."
"Why?"
"Our opponent this time is A Chinese Odyssey, Lu Yuan's own movie..." Wei Changjun closed his eyes.
"..." Lu Yihong opened his mouth and the cigarette butt fell to the ground.
That confidence turned into astonishment. After he read the headlines, he didn't know how to describe his feelings for a moment.
