"Please have a seat, please have a seat. The house is humble and simple, so don't dislike it!"
Qian Wenqi let Mars into the room and poured tea. The two of them had a normal relationship, so he was curious and asked: "Why are you here today? Is there something wrong?"
"Of course, you can go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything!"
Mars laughed happily: "You are filming in mainland China, have you ever heard of Hugelive?"
"Like thunder!"
"Then have you seen it?"
"I have seen some good online platforms. What do you want to say?"
“I want to make money together!
Boss Yu from Jiahe is as righteous as the sky. He is willing to provide for us incompetent guys in old age. Boss Yu pays for us to make the film, and she collects the film. After the film is sold, she will give us dividends. Do you know about "The Great American Master"?
Just divided 10 million!"
"10 million???"
Qian Wenqi was a little confused.
"Yes! I paid hundreds of thousands for all the components. The brothers are eager to make a new movie, but the script can't keep up. I shamelessly came to you, do you want to work together?"
"..."
Qian Wenqi straightened out his logic and asked: "If you ask me to make a new film together, what are you going to do?"
"It's a remake! There's no shame in just throwing in the towel without inspiration. Your films "Ten Southern Magics" and "When the Peaches Are Ripe" were great. Find some new people and it will be another good show."
"How much can I take?"
"The budget for a film is 10 million. If you make a few more films and make them into a series, you can get tens of millions of money. If there is any leftover, it belongs to us. After it goes online, we will divide the accounts and return it to us. Of course, it must be approved by the boss.
"
If you don’t make money, you’re a bastard!
Qian Wenqi came back from "Monster Hunt" and had nothing to do. It would be nice to make some extra money. He thought: "But no one in Hong Kong wants to film it anymore. It's not like before."
"Go and look for them outside. Vietnam, Thailand, and Ukraine are both good and cheap. In our movie "The Great American Hero," we found several Ukrainian women to play Hollywood stars.
Moreover, Boss Yu is developing in Southeast Asia, and the local people are also friendly."
Qian Wenqi didn't understand the Hugelive model, and Mars explained it to him in detail. When he heard that as long as the script was approved, the screenwriter would be paid a one-time payment, he even got excited.
Hong Kong screenwriters are not human beings!
Except for big guys like Huang Bingyao, Xiao Ruoyuan, and Wang Jing, the rest are basically struggling to collect debts.
"Let's just make a trilogy about falling head. Go to Thailand to shoot, find local women, I will change the previous films and change the actors."
"That's great! Hugelive is not limited to scale, and the world is full of salty guys. It will definitely be a big hit. You, the writer and the director, have millions at least.
By the way, add more action scenes in the film so that I can perform better and make more money."
This is the purpose of Mars.
Qian Wenqi naturally agreed, paused, and then said: "When I came back to Hong Kong, I saw a lot of people on the street. How long have they been making trouble?"
"It's been a month."
"It hasn't been finished in one month?"
"No, the traffic jams are terrible every day, and people can't express their opinions openly, so they can only curse a few words behind their backs. I think those people will rush to the streets sooner or later!"
After talking about things, Mars took his leave.
Qian Wenqi was at home. It was strange to think about it, but making money was a good thing. He cheered up, turned on the computer, and quickly typed the first line:
"Top Ten Evil Arts in Nanyang 2014"!

In a studio in Hong Kong, part of the post-production of "囧" was completed here.
In a studio in Hong Kong, part of the post-production of "囧" was completed here.
Xu Zheng leaned on the chair and closed his eyes for a while. A song demo came from the machine, and He Yunshi's voice floated in the small room along with the melody.
Denise Ho made her debut in a singing competition in the 1990s and was taken on by Anita Mui as her apprentice. Her unique style attracted many fans. Among them was Boss Yu, who named her to sing the theme song.
Then let’s sing, the crew invited me, found someone to write the song, and quickly completed the song demo.
The lyricist is Lin Xi, a great talent!
"Hey, the song came here?"
While listening, Dong Ping came in, listened for a while, and nodded: "The quality is good, I can make the theme song. How is your progress?"
"It's okay, everything went well."
"I'm going very well too. I just had a meal with a few investors and reached an agreement."
Dong Ping, smelling a bit drunk, explained to Xu Zheng in a ostentatious manner: "We still have 33% of the share, which corresponds to 33% of the profit.
First, I will use 120 million to buy the 33% profit share in the name of 21 Holdings.
Secondly, 21 Holdings will issue shares to 8 subscribers. You will subscribe for the shares at a price of 4 cents per share, and ultimately hold 19% of the shares.
When "囧" is released, we can continue to get 33% of the share, because what we bought before was just a share.
When the stock rises, the value of your shares will also rise.
When the subscription is completed, the company will receive 700 million Hong Kong dollars in funds. We will use this money to continue filming and grow bigger and stronger. The better the film, the higher the stock price.
This is our specific process.”
Xu Zheng now understands better and said: "I understand, this is a long-term business, and the upfront capital is very important. Which subscribers have you found?"
"There are businessmen from Beijing, businessmen from Shanghai, companies affiliated with Alibaba, and there is also an incredible one from Hong Kong..."
Dong Ping said a name.
Xu Zheng's eyes widened. He was talking about the boss of a business organization in Hong Kong. This boss controlled a company. The company would also subscribe for stocks, but the proportion was not large, 5%.
"This 5%..."
"Protection money! Don't you understand this?"
"I understand, I understand, but isn't Hong Kong very clean?"
"Wow, how can such a thing be absolute? It is tradition to pay protection fees. In short, I have arranged all the people and just follow the process. I will buy the shares first, and then issue the shares, and you can subscribe."
Dong Ping drank a little too much and was feeling dizzy after talking for a long time. He patted Xu Zheng on the shoulder and left.
Xu Zheng became even more excited.
He is a very smart person. Before 99% of the entertainment industry practitioners could react, he embraced capital in the hope of rising up the social ladder.
You can think about it with your toes. If you subscribe for stocks for 4 cents, you can’t do it for less than 4 cents in the future, right?
Will it always go up?
As long as it goes up, you will make money.
…………
In the days that followed, Xu Zheng was doing post-production work in Hong Kong while cooperating with Dong Ping in operations. Hundreds of millions of funds were transferred around, as if they were money, which made his heart even hotter.
Blink into November.
Things here are almost settled, Xu Zheng returned to the mainland.
"Oh, I don't understand these people!"
Xu Zheng looked outside and shrugged, but what does this have to do with me?
