The flickering candlelight flickered, there were mysterious murals on the surrounding walls, beautiful waiters walked back and forth, and people came and went on the street outside.

The old era is over, and peace is giving birth to an unprecedented new civilization. The power and guns of the past are being replaced by a force that is recognized by all, and that is money.

When Xiao Lizhu came, she didn't think that Shen Yu would reject her proposal. Even if he did, it would only be because her conditions were not good enough, not because she was unmoved.

Being able to package and list it and then go to the financial market of the Ming Empire to make money is a dream pursuit for people in any country in the world.

"I don't understand finance, and I don't want to touch it. Changfeng Film and Television Company will not be listed in the next three to five years."

"you sure?"

Xiao Lizhu was stunned for a moment.

"Well, I am very satisfied with my current life. For example, this restaurant, I think the taste is better than those big restaurants. The car I drive is also an ordinary car. Money is just a tool for me, not a pursuit.

Sister Xiao, you and I are a bit alike. The clothes you wear are cheaper than mine, which is actually good, isn’t it?"

Shen Yu said politely and changed his name to Xiao Lizhu.

"I don't believe it when others say it, but you..."

The clothes Xiao Lizhu was wearing were discounted goods from the department store, and there were no accessories on her hands or neck. She and Shen Yu were sitting in a restaurant, enjoying the joy of getting together rather than the charm of money.

"Well, money is just a tool."

Xiao Lizhu agreed with Shen Yu's words.

For the first two movies, if you calculate carefully, Shen Yu did not make any money.

The main investment of the Godfather was made by twenty investors, who divided a lot of the profits according to the contract. Shen Yu got a personal name, and after paying off the company's debts, he still owed a sum - after all, the payment was slow.

By the way, isn't Changfeng Film and Television Company's 10 million funds frozen?

The money was unfrozen a month ago. On the day it was unfrozen, Shen Yu donated it to establish a charity foundation. The donation was anonymous. The outside world did not know about it. The news media did not report the matter. Xiao Lizhu also passed Only the bank settlement system and so on will know.

If someone attacks Shen Yu with a gang background, and Shen Yu reveals this fact, the situation will be reversed - he will say that the money is innocent, but I hope to make a clean break with the past, so I will donate the money to those in need. , I hope everyone will stop insulting his brother, thank you everyone.

Look, how beautifully people do things?

This donation completely wiped out Shen Yu's past.

Later, when filming Saving Private Gordon, the same investment method as last time was adopted, with an investment limit of 500,000. This time, a total of 36 investors were attracted. Shen Yu did not spend a penny as a technical investment for the director. It occupies 20% of the quota.

This investment contract is similar to many investment contracts in the industry. Some directors even only require salary and no dividends, etc. However, Shen Yu is really particular about what he does.

The investment of 30 million yuan did not include a straw hat worth 2,000 yuan, or a parasol worth tens of thousands of yuan. It was actually spent and the movie was shot in the shortest possible time. It was like a donkey in the Tsar's mill could still do it. Hardworking.

After the film was finished, the investors were very happy, and everyone even felt embarrassed, and most of the money was given to the investors.

This is not the last Godfather movie. At that time, Shen Yu was poor and had no reputation or money. This time, it was Shen Yu who really gave everyone money. From any point of view, he lost the money he earned. .

"Okay, so, what do you want?"

"I...actually I don't want anything, the main thing is to realize my dream, otherwise I would just take a leave and go to the Caribbean to rest..."

There is no hatred between the two people, and if a man and a woman are together, there won't be any fierce conflicts. We are all tigers, so why bother to learn from the tossing of chickens and ducks?

"I will not mention the matter of investing in shares. I am also a Changkuai person. My next movie is expected to invest about 30 million. This time I will contribute 10 million, and you will contribute the remaining 10 million. I will find another one. Investors."

"Why did you hang yourself on the tree of Changfeng Film and Television Company?"

Xiao Lizhu looked a little strange.

"To your investors, you have given them a total of five or six times the return. From any point of view, you have been worthy of them. The Godfather has a box office of 80 million, and Saving Private Gordon is expected to have a box office of 230 million. , this is still the data before it was removed from the shelves.

The quality of the two films is comparable, but the revenue of the latter is more than three times that of the former.

The difference is that I helped you communicate with the Ming Dynasty market, and it was released in ten countries at the same time, and opened up global links.

You don’t love money, but making movies requires money. If you want to fully control the shooting of movies, you need a lot of money!

Don't think that if you give investors so many benefits, they will obey your words. You are wrong, and they will become even more greedy.

They want to stuff people in, they want a bigger share, they dislike the conflict between you and Zhu Yourong, and they want to force you to make Zhu Yourong apologize..."

Xiao Lizhu said with a smile, and what she said was true.

"how about you?"

"I...I can let Zhu Yourong settle the feud with you (she doesn't know the inside story), but I want the full investment in this movie. You don't have to invest a penny, your next movie is what you said The third part of "A heavy sword without a sharp edge", which is a masterpiece without any work, is fully invested by Universal Company, and you enjoy 30% of the dividends."

"so good?"

Shen Yu was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, it is better to cooperate with a group of people than with one person. If the quality of your movie can be similar to the previous two, I can guarantee you a box office of more than 300 million."

"Oh, I didn't expect Sister Xiao to be able to draw big cakes. With such a good condition, and I don't bear a little risk, there must be a lot of conditions, right?"

"yes……"

Xiao Lizhu nodded.

Film investment is actually a very unprofitable industry. Even great directors will have their problems. It is normal to lose money on several movies in a row. Before Shen Yu, there were talented directors who had two or three movies that became popular, and then they were all over the market until no one cared about them. .

This is also why many actors and directors in another time and space will not solely invest in making films no matter how successful they are, because the losses would be too miserable.

She took out the document and handed it to Shen Yu.

But Shen Yu shook his head and didn't look.

"Well, thank you Sister Xiao for investing in me this time. I won't take advantage of Sister Xiao. My new film will be a joint venture between you and me. The estimated capital is 30 million. I will invest 10 million, and Xiao will take care of the rest." My sister will complete the supplement. If there is any additional amount, the total amount will not exceed 40 million.

The estimated shooting time is two months. Zhu Yourong and I have nothing to say and don’t need to explain. We don’t need special attention from Universal Company in terms of release and other aspects. This film has a strong humanistic feel. I believe that all countries will introduce it from the day it is released.

Within one year, as long as it can be released simultaneously in the Ming Empire and two of the three major markets of the United States and Europe, my box office target is more than 300 million in three months."
