Zhou Xingxing contacted them first, but in the end, if Ye Ming participated in a movie performance, it goes without saying that Zhou Xingxing took a fancy to Ye Ming's acting skills. New...
But if they wanted to invest, wouldn't they still ask Huayi to invest at this time? But Ye Ming directly intervened and invested in this movie.
Later, Wang Zhongjun also found out the reason why Ye Ming could invest in Zhou Xingxing's movie. At this time, Wang Zhongjun cursed and smashed the teacup in his hand: "What a piece of shit."
If there hadn't been a financial crisis in Europe, Ye Ming would not have had any chance to invest in Zhou Xingxing's movie. But it was too late. Ye Ming and Zhou Xingxing had cooperated. No one could stop this from happening.
After signing the contract, Zhou Xingxing had another long conversation with Ye Ming. The purpose of this conversation was actually the process of selecting actors.
Zhou Xingxing said bluntly: "Although the crew's finances are a bit pessimistic, there are still some things that cannot be saved. For example, choosing actors requires auditions. This is an opportunity to expand the impact of the movie.
The last movie, The King of Comedy, was not screened in the mainland, and it has to be said that it was a failure. Therefore, for my fans, they have not seen my movie for a long time. I investigated and found out what my influence was.
The biggest movie was actually Westward Journey, which almost made me bankrupt. This is a huge irony for me."
The filming of Westward Journey is too nonsensical and the investment is huge, but the script is so advanced that people can’t understand what is being said. Therefore, Westward Journey is Zhou Xingxing’s most disastrous film failure.
The King of Comedy was even more miserable. He almost went bankrupt due to losses. No one must deny this.
Later, Zhou Xingxing did not make a movie for several years, because of the impact of Westward Journey. The King of Comedy at least said it made money when promoting it. Although it did not make any money, it actually did not lose money. Westward Journey lost money miserably.
With an investment of more than 60 million, it would take at least 120 million to avoid losing money. As for the final box office of Westward Journey, even if it is the official figure, it will not exceed 50 million, and it is the total box office of the two movies.
.
In this case, the investors will not receive more than 30 million, and at least 30 million will be lost from time to time. Moreover, Westward Journey is aimed at Chinese-speaking areas, and there is no market abroad. Therefore, there is no overseas market, plus surrounding areas
, the investors of Westward Journey will only lose money.
It is said that around the port city of Treasure Island in Westward Journey, the income is less than 10 million. As for the mainland, are there genuine DVDs in the mainland?
They were all pirated copies. Therefore, the investors of Westward Journey, where Zhou Xingxing was one of the investors, suffered a huge loss. After working hard for two years, they finally lost at least 20 million.
The 20 million yuan in 1996 is almost equivalent to 100 million yuan today.
Therefore, this movie is Zhou Xingxing's most classic, but also the most miserable one. It wasn't until Shaolin Football Players that Zhou Xingxing had the courage to become a producer again.
At this time, Ye Ming nodded and said: "Auditions can indeed be very attractive. It is a good way to advertise. There are still no movies like this in the mainland. You have given the mainland a good start."
Zhou Xingxing said helplessly: "This is a good start, but it is really losing money. Auditions also cost money, and we can't audition in one place in the mainland, so the investment required will be more."
of.
This is a pressure on me. Fortunately, having you as an investor has relieved the pressure a little bit."
Zhou Xingxing will naturally not admit to outsiders that his crew has financial problems, otherwise it will affect the progress of the crew. But now Ye Ming is no longer an outsider, he is an investor and one of his own, so in such a situation.
Zhou Xingxing told the truth, maybe he didn't mean to let Ye Ming pay.
Anyway, if the movie makes money, he doesn’t make it alone; if it loses money, then at times like this, it’s not Zhou Xingxing who loses money alone.
Ye Ming was stunned for a moment. Didn't Zhou Xingxing have an investor in his audition before? Why haven't he mentioned it yet? Didn't he find an investor? The last audition for Zhou Xingxing, a young Shaolin football player, had one
Sponsored.
Therefore, Ye Ming immediately said: "This matter is very simple. Just find a sponsor. Just rely on your popularity and reputation to find a big company in the mainland to cooperate and let them pay to sponsor your overseas product."
How much money is needed for the audition, double it, is their naming fee. In this case, not only the cost of the audition is solved, but there is also a part left, which can be used as the cost of the crew."
This method made Zhou Xingxing's eyes light up. Find a title sponsor? Zhou Xingxing said doubtfully: "In Hong Kong City, this kind of talent show is conducted with the crew's own money. And if they want to make it big, they still have to do it."
If we have to spend money for advertising, can we find a sponsor for this kind of event in mainland China?”
Zhou Xingxing expressed some doubts about this issue. After all, he said that in such a situation, there is no such precedent in Hong Kong City.
Ye Ming said with great certainty: "There is absolutely no problem with this matter. A Hong Kong city is a Hong Kong city, and China is China. The market conditions are different. You can find a cooperative enterprise, and the mainland's economic development is so fast that it surpasses yours."
I imagine that there are many rich people, and there are also many people who are willing to advertise. I believe that not only one company can pay for the draft, but there will always be people who are willing to pay. If you are at ease, then I can recommend several companies.
for you."
Zhou Xingxing was immediately overjoyed and said: "This relationship is good, but if it is a big company, a big company with a good reputation, let alone a small company, I don't want to be pointed at the spine by consumers?"
Although Zhou Xingxing is sometimes a little greedy for money, a little stingy, and has a weird temper, it is undeniable that he still respects his fans and cherishes his reputation very much.
He can fall out with everyone in the circle one by one, but he will never fall out with his fans again.
Because Zhou Xingxing knows very well what his confidence is, which is his movie fans. In Hong Kong City, he has offended many colleagues, directors, actors, screenwriters, and even film company bosses.
But what can this do? As long as movie fans still like Zhou Xingxing, as long as Zhou Xingxing’s market appeal is still there. In such a situation, others will not do anything to Zhou Xingxing. Therefore.
Even if you choose to cooperate with an enterprise, it will only happen if you are a big enterprise or a small enterprise. Even if you have money, you cannot cooperate with them even if you give them money.
Ye Ming nodded and said: "Of course they are big companies. They help each other. They use your reputation to promote, and you want the money they give. This is a two-edged sword. Lehehe is a good company. It is currently working on a new type of product.
Beverages are the time when the market needs to be opened. If you are willing, I will let someone help you."
At this time, Zhou Xingxing finally felt a little moved.
He nodded and said, "This is a good feeling. In a situation like this, I need someone to help me get through this difficult situation."
Hearing Zhou Xingxing's nod, Ye Ming also told him generously that he could go to Fang Fang for this matter. As a confidant's agent, Sister Fang Fang has connections with many companies. Therefore, it should not be a problem to facilitate this matter.
Sure enough, when Zhou Xingxing heard Fang Fang's name, he had more expectations for the future. Fang Fang had a wireless background, so in such a situation, Zhou Xingxing naturally felt a little cordial.
, after all, he came from a wireless station. Therefore, he is also looking forward to a cooperation.
Sister Fang Fang received a call from Fang Nan, Zhou Xingxing's executive manager, and she was not ambiguous at all. She directly contacted Lehehe Group and said that Zhou Xingxing's draft was looking for a title sponsor. Now, it was also Lehehe Group.
Desire.
In fact, their new drink was a blank in the market before. Under such circumstances, not many people would refuse Zhou Xingxing's olive branch. Soon, everyone finalized the intention to cooperate and signed a contract.
The grand ceremony started Zhou Xingxing's journey to the draft.
What are you waiting for for the Star of the Week talent show exclusively sponsored by Lehehe Beverage? Wang Chan definitely didn’t expect that at this time, he should have been focusing on the showdown between Poor Millionaire and Pearl Harbor, because
This day was imminent. Although he knew that Pearl Harbor was a disaster, no matter what the situation was, he still had to go all out to do this work.
Because many people in the country are waiting to see his jokes. If he says that he cannot win this time, many people will make trouble for him.
Moreover, even if he goes all out, many media outlets still pessimize Ye Ming's movies.
This is not to say that the Chinese media has a habit of criticizing Ye Ming. On the contrary, the attitude of Ye Ming and the Chinese media is very good. Under normal circumstances, most of the West China media will always side with Ye Ming.
But the last time was different. In a good situation, Ye Ming was facing a Hollywood blockbuster at this time. Therefore, in such a matter, Ye Ming filmed a domestic film by himself, and whether it was
In terms of investment, stars, or market influence, compared with Hollywood's big production Pearl Harbor, there is no hope of victory at all.
Some entertainment programs even expressed a pessimistic attitude toward Ye Ming's challenge.
If it weren't for Ye Ming being the ambassador for the Olympic bid, there would probably be more people talking to Ye Ming. At this time, for Ye Ming's company, this is a huge pressure.
Ye Ming wanted to show his all-out attitude. Such an incident would be a huge blow to the media and the clamoring free commentators.
But at this time, a company still came to visit, Yangcheng Pharmaceutical Group.
At this time, the information that Sister Fang Fang held was from Yangcheng Pharmaceutical Group. State-owned enterprises, in the south, especially in the Pearl River Delta region, Yangcheng Pharmaceutical Group has huge influence.
At this time, Sister Fang Fang said: "Yangcheng Group knows that you have joined Zhou Xingxing's movie, and has attracted investment from Lehe Group for Zhou Xingxing, so it thinks that you intend to enter the beverage market. He has a plan here. I hope
You can take a look, it’s a herbal tea called Wang Jixiang, and I want you to find a company for cooperative development.”
A flash of lightning flashed in Ye Ming's mind immediately, "Wang Jixiang, my dear, the most powerful herbal tea in the country, hasn't it officially started yet?"
It seems that Ye Ming thought for a while and said: "Wang Jixiang, their Yangcheng Pharmaceutical is a state-owned enterprise, can't they find a company to cooperate with?"
Sister Fang Fang said: "Sometimes, Yangcheng Pharmaceutical Group has a cooperative enterprise. They cooperate with a company called Jiabaobao in Hong Kong City to develop Wang Jixiang herbal tea, but even in Guangdong and Guangxi, sales are not very optimistic.
, outside of Guangdong and Guangxi, no one in other places is accustomed to drinking herbal tea, so who cares about this kind of drink.
Therefore, their cooperation was not very pleasant. It is said that in such a situation, as a new adult, I actually don’t like drinking herbal tea very much.”
Wang Jixiang, Jia Baobao. Sure enough, under such a situation, the history is surprisingly similar. Jia Baobao still colluded with Yangcheng Pharmaceutical. Now they are probably in the running-in period and have not reached the honeymoon period yet. More
It's not to the point of breaking up or getting divorced. It's very normal for some problems to arise during the running-in period.
Ye Ming immediately decided to say: "This is a good thing. Don't look for other people. Ask their price first. If the price is right, then we will take it ourselves."
Sister Fang Fang was stunned for a moment, her eyes widened, and she said curiously: "Are we going to enter the beverage market? The company has no such plan at all. You didn't just come up with an idea just by patting your head, right?"
Ye Ming clenched his fists tightly, and his heart felt as if ten thousand grasshoppers were passing by. Wang Jixiang, that is the largest enterprise in China in the future that almost defeated Coca-Cola. If it weren't for the villains of the Yangcheng Group, I guess
Now it is not certain that they can be the first in China in the industry.
In fact, they did this in the beginning.
If he said that he would not eat any fat meat that came to his mouth, then Ye Ming felt that he simply said that he was in debt.
Therefore, Ye Ming waved his hand and said that he had made up his mind: "Sister Fang Fang, you don't have to worry about this. You go and find out the authenticity of this matter first. If it is true, then we will be able to do it in the future. Just take down yourself
It can be done or subcontracted to others. Anyway, you won’t lose money.” (To be continued.)
