Chapter 515 The Embarrassment of People in the Circle

518. The embarrassment of people in the circle

People in the stubborn circle have nothing to do now, but they still have to continue after having a baby, right? So some people want to find another way to find a breakthrough from Xiangjiang.

Not long after that, the buck-toothed director approached his eldest brother Cheng and wanted to discuss cooperation.

"Brother Buck Ya, it's really not that I don't want to help. You also know that we in Xiangjiang's circle rely on the theaters in the mainland for a living." After hearing Big Buck Ya's proposal, the eldest brother Cheng shook his head and refused.

Are you kidding? He is not a fool. Now more than 90% of the income of artists in Hong Kong comes from the mainland. If the mainland investors and theaters are offended, what will they eat?

"Is there really no discussion? Are you just helping to introduce a few investors?" Bucktooth asked unwillingly.

The eldest brother was still very "resigned" when it came to this part and refused sternly: "It's absolutely impossible. Even if I help you find someone, they won't be stupid enough to throw money into the water."

The most important thing is that the eldest brother Cheng is not a fool. He is also afraid that these so-called "stubborn masters" will trap him. You must know that their reputation has not been very good recently.

The eldest brother Cheng is not only an artist, but he is also an investor. As a smart man, he will naturally not waste all his funds on this group of people.

Seeing that his eldest brother has become so strong, Big Buck Tooth can only say goodbye and leave.

After confirming that Big Buck Tooth had left, Chen Mu, a friend of Big Brother Cheng, said in confusion: "Why don't Big Brother go and help him? With his connections and appeal, any book that is not particularly bad can be sold well."

"Haha, Amu, you're good at making movies, but you're still far behind in business." The eldest brother Cheng said with a smile.

Chen Mu asked: "What did eldest brother say? Don't we just want the movie to be good?"

"Good-looking? What's the point of being good-looking? A movie invested by others has a box office of 1 billion, and a movie shot by one of us has a box office of 500 million. Who do you think the theater chain will favor?" said the eldest brother Cheng coldly.

"This?" Chen Mu just woke up from a dream. Although the box office investment invested by others was twice as much as his own investment, the profits can be imagined.

Not to mention squeezing out a movie, how much more money can he make? The secrets here are not something that Chen Mu, a person who only knows how to make movies, can understand.

To put it bluntly, people’s capital is to make money. If you don’t want others to “get involved” and they’re not stupid, why should they invest in you? Are people really stupid and have too much money?

So why are so many capitals now willing to train directors and screenwriters themselves? Because what they have in their hands is the most valuable.

It was precisely because the eldest brother Cheng saw this trend that he chose to have a good relationship with Ma Meiliang's people. As we all know, Xiao Wang and Tang Wenna have a very good relationship.

If he establishes a good relationship with Ma Meiliang and the others, isn't that a disguised form of establishing a good relationship with Wanda? And with Ma Meili’s support, who among the domestic theater chains wouldn’t give him some face?

Nowadays, either you have money or you have "face". If you don't have anything, then it is still not recommended to join this industry. It is really unnecessary.

Moreover, this big purge is not aimed at the "stubborn main circle". Other small circles have also been affected to a certain extent. After all, the cake in this market is so big now, and no one wants to be squeezed out.

When Tang Wen returned to Tomson Yipin, Xiaolu had already gone out to film. When he was bored, he took out his mobile phone and happened to see the message from Taozi.

"When are you going to help with this?"

Looking at the text message from Taozi, Tang Wen replied with an ambiguous smile: "Don't worry, I won't break my promise to you. I've already said hello to Lao Qin."

Just after sending the message, Qin Feng's call came in.

After Tang Wen answered the phone, Qin Feng's playful voice sounded: "How about it, Old Tang, are you satisfied with the surprise last night? Tsk, tsk, I heard that you ate the partygoers in one pot yesterday?"

"Damn it, why don't you put it nicely?" Tang Wen was speechless.

However, Tang Wen was still very satisfied with the gift package given by Lao Qin. After all, such "exciting" scenes are rare.

"As long as you like it, then I will ask people to withdraw." After getting Tang Wen's reply, Qin Feng also planned to stop. After all, it is not good to bully the small.

As for whether Director Xu can overcome the difficulties? That depends on his own destiny. Director Xu currently owes a lot of debt. If the film can find investors to take over, there is still a possibility that he can make a comeback. If not?

Haha, that’s embarrassing.

At the same time, under Da Fei's "proposal", the heroic father and son Yang Chen and Yang Qi extended an "olive branch" to Director Xu.

But what made Xu Dao angry was that the price offered by Yang Chen and his son was only half of the previous price, but they had to share more than half of the profit. Although he wanted to throw the table and leave, reality did not allow Director Xu to be so "arrogant" .

Director Xu pleaded: "Mr. Yang, isn't the price you mentioned a bit too low?"

Yang Chen patted Director Xu on the shoulder with a smile and said earnestly: "Brother Xu is already very low. Look at how anyone would take over the deal with so much real money now?"

"But this." Director Xu also wanted to fight for his own interests. After all, these two dramas had already destroyed all his property, and he still owed more than 80 million.

Yang Qi tried to smooth things over at this time, saying, "Director Xu, you also know the current market situation. We Yingwei also need to take certain risks when we put out so much money. If you think the price is too low, we can negotiate, but you need to sign a risk contract with us."

"Risk contract?" Director Xu frowned. This thing is something that people in the industry are afraid of, because once it is signed, if the box office does not reach the expected target, then you need to share the risk and loss. How can people in the circle who have always been taking money accept this?

So few directors would choose to sign this thing, but now even if it is such a contract, some people are not even qualified to sign it.

"Yes, Director Xu, how about you consider it? We are not in a hurry. If you can find a better investor, we will support you at any time. After all, even if the deal fails, there is still righteousness." Yang Qi said with a smile.

At first, this became a "death warrant" in Director Xu's ears. After all, people can afford to delay and wait. But he couldn't wait. The money for the equipment hadn't been paid yet. If he didn't pay, he wouldn't even have the chance to appear on the big screen.

"Okay, I'll agree to your price." After weighing the pros and cons, Director Xu still planned to introduce investors as soon as possible, at least to let himself get his money back first. As for how much he would make?

That was no longer his problem. Director Xu's only thought was to quickly plug the hole.
