Chapter 67 Saving Ye Xiaoyu
"Everyone gets a little, but it's not much. If you make money, it's pocket money. If you lose, it doesn't matter. Right?"
Bai Yichi's words put everyone in the same boat again.
After that, he asked Ye Mengyu, "Xiao Ba, how much money do you plan to pay for your play?"
Ye Mengyu lowered her head and thought about it, and based on the data she heard from fans in her previous life, she roughly calculated the actors' pay, production costs, and publicity and promotion costs.
"I'm planning to invest 300 million yuan in production costs. Regarding actor salaries, I'll try to use new actors; 3 to 5 million yuan per person is enough. But if I'm looking for veteran actors to guest star and guide the newcomers to enhance the quality of the work, I'll pay them a lot. And then there's the promotional aspect, starting at 100 million yuan. All in all, it'll be at least 500 million yuan. If there's an emergency during filming, there might be additional costs..."
Oh my God, Bai Yichi, who had been dragged by the playboy circle to make small investments in movies many times, almost had his eyes popped out.
"Xiao Ba, you want to build a film and television city? There's no way to spend money like this. How much money does a big-budget movie cost? With a box office forecast of 2 billion, they only dare to spend 500 million. You... unless you find Jiang Fanyu to play the leading male role and attract investment, how will you make money? Without a super star to make money, you won't be able to sell it for a good price even if you get a satellite broadcast license. Besides, in the current environment, it's too difficult for ancient idol dramas to be broadcast on TV."
Bai Yichi was half-hearted, just hanging around and taking the money and waiting for dividends, and getting a basic understanding of the situation.
The other four are complete amateurs.
After hearing what he said, I also felt that Ye Mengyu was unreliable.
Even Ye Mengyu himself knew that there were many difficulties.
"I know, that's why I said I'd take the money myself. Otherwise, if I asked others to invest money that might go to waste, they'd probably have to insert people to make the drama."
oh.
Several people squinted their eyes at her, "Okay, Xiao Ba, you can come up with 500 million."
That's right. Even if I get 1 billion, I can still get it by selling my body.
But there is no need to explain this to them in detail.
"Mr. Jiang, I have it. I still have the face to lend you this little money."
Chu Yiyan immediately shook his head. "Forget it. Don't borrow money from someone you're dating. It's troublesome. So, I'll take 200 million, and the second, third, fourth, and fifth brothers will each take 20 million, and Xiaoba will cover the rest. Don't worry about your share, second sister. They don't spend all the money all at once when filming. There's still time to save it up and invest later, right?"
The next question was about Ye Mengyu.
"It's still in time. I haven't finished filming this variety show yet. It will take at least half a year to select the script, establish the project, and set up the crew. The actual filming will start almost a year later. Forget 20 million, my second sister has already earned 200 million. Each of us will get 200 million in dividends, which is more than enough."
oh.
After hearing this, everyone leaned back in their chairs. Another year?
There's no rush.
Zeng Qimo picked up a crab claw for Wei Zimo and said, "Second sister, it all depends on you. Go, go, go."
Wei Zimo did not refuse. She would not hide from the responsibilities she had to take. As someone who had always been helpless, the word "hiding" did not exist in her dictionary.
"good."
"That's great! I think we should have dinners like this more often in the future. We can all share our news. Who knows, if someone hears something, we can discuss it together and discover a business opportunity, right?"
Bai Yichi likes this kind of atmosphere the most.
He's not short of money, and the company doesn't need him. He can't handle big business, and he prefers to do things that pay a little and then just sit back and enjoy the benefits.
No matter how much living expenses your family gives you, it will never be enough.
Over the years, it was by investing a little here and borrowing a little there that I was able to make friends and earn some pocket money!
"I agree. Then we'll take turns hosting from now on. This time I'll treat, and next time the second sister comes, we'll take the next seat. How often should we get together? What do you think?"
As the eldest brother, Chu Yiyan agreed first.
He agreed and no one else had any objections.
"Let's get together once a month and decide on a location."
Wei Zimo mentioned the time.
Gu Yize continued, "I think we should not just randomly pick a location. It's like today, people might take photos and use it to their advantage, and it's alienating. I have a restaurant in my club where we can get together anytime, and it's private. If you don't like it, my friend is opening a Western restaurant. I invested some money, so I'm half the owner, so we can go there too."
Speaking of restaurants, there are so many that are related to my home.
The old man owns shares in at least eighty, if not a hundred, high-end clubs, restaurants, and hotels.
Except for Wei Zimo and his daughter, everyone present here has shares in various restaurants, but every mother definitely has some.
Who hasn't ordered their favorite food?
The style of the big guys must be to have an exclusive private restaurant.
Usually, a chef friend who is familiar with the chef opens a shop, and the chef invests some money to support the business and takes some shares, which is a win-win situation.
"Okay, let's get together at home from now on to save trouble."
"By the way, Xiao Ba, what happened to this scandal today?"
Bai Yichi asked Ye Mengyu.
It's been several hours, but the trending search is still hanging on the tail.
"Just ignore it. Not everything requires a response."
The Internet has no memory. For celebrities like her and Gu Yize, no one cares about them once they become trending topics.
There won’t be many people discussing it.
The one who responded fell into the trap and kept talking.
"Xiaoyu, your team is short of models, right? I can help."
Zeng Qimo mentioned the show.
"Sister, please give me a chance to show myself. I plan to do it myself. I don't need to waste such a good figure."
Gu Yize interrupted, "Fourth sister, I need a model. Also, do you have any designers you know? Introduce me to one. Wu Yuqing will be completely out of the next episode, and I don't have a designer yet."
[Oh my, this is such a ruthless move. I just got a scandal, and if Fourth Sister joins Third Brother's team, oh my, she'll give Mo Chubai a huge slap in the face. Or maybe she'll even push out the mother of his child and take the top spot. Sigh... just thinking about it is exciting. It'll be enough for the crickets in the melon field to feast on for half a month, hahahaha...]
Zeng Qimo didn't want to agree at first, but after hearing Ye Mengyu's thoughts, he decisively agreed, "Okay. I'll contact them later to see if anyone has time. Don't worry, I'll definitely introduce you to someone good, someone no worse than Fang Zhixing."
Hehehehe…
It’s exciting just thinking about how many melons there would be to eat.
The melon king Ye Xiaoyu Benyu was still happy until the dinner ended and he returned home.
Even the next day, when he went to the studio to rehearse for the program recording, his face was flushed and he looked in great shape.
This made Jiang Fanyu, who was originally very worried about her, feel very strange.
"What good news is this? Why are you so happy?"
Are you so happy about having a scandal with your brother?
Or are you happy that you can get on the trending search without spending any money?
"I've secured investment and gained a powerful supporter, so of course I'm happy."
Then, without treating Jiang Fanyu as an outsider, she told him that her brothers and sisters had invested 300 million yuan in her.
"According to your strategy, the return on investment for making a TV series is horribly low. A show would have to be a huge hit to make money on a 500 million investment, right? Is it worth all that effort?"
The dividends from Zhao Ruolin's patent are not as much as they seem.
"This is a career, something I do for love. How can I only focus on how much money I make? I'm not that superficial. My goal is to produce some truly representative, groundbreaking works for the Chinese entertainment industry. I'm a conscientious artist, that's what I'm like."
That's such a shameless statement!
