Chapter 65 Film Premium
Jiang Peiyao sighed and said mischievously, "Alright, I'm yours now anyway, so you can't go back on your word!"
After saying that, she turned and left Han Ziming's office.
As we walked,
He was secretly thinking to himself.
This junior brother has a really good personality.
Just as likable as she is on set, Ruonan is truly enviable!
Han Ziming was stunned upon hearing this. Watching Jiang Peiyao's departing figure, he shouted loudly:
"What do you mean 'I'm responsible'?! If word gets out, people will think you've sold yourself to me! You're signed with a company, don't go around saying things like that!"
"knew!"
A nonchalant reply came from afar outside the door.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Peiyao suddenly pushed open the door again, a mischievous smile on her face, and asked, "Can't we talk about it at the company?"
Han Ziming waved his hand dismissively.
"You'd better leave now!"
She knew Han Ziming had a good personality.
They can take a joke.
However, after thinking about it carefully, Han Zimo wondered what Xiao Jiang was implying with his words just now.
Forget it, I'd rather not think about it anymore.
Han Ziming then checked the broadcast schedule of the TV series "The Beginning" and found that after airing next Tuesday and Wednesday, the series finale would be on January 4th.
He then checked the official Weibo account of Tencent's "Candle in the Tomb" and couldn't help but marvel at how it garnered 1.7 million views on its first day of release, even with a simultaneous online and television broadcast.
It is clear that online original dramas have been able to develop more and more steadily as an independent branch in the field of domestic TV dramas.
Unfortunately, "The Beginning" has too few episodes and the IP's influence is not great enough. Its early release is a small loss.
Han Ziming knew in his heart,
This time, we can't compete.
Furthermore, there's also "Three Lives Three Worlds" airing at the end of January next year.
Given the current situation,
It's truly a case of being pursued from the front and ferocious from the back! There's no other way but to think about how to make money in a down-to-earth way.
Thinking of this,
He picked up his phone and sent a message.
Not long after, Li Feng walked in and asked.
"Boss, what can I do for you?"
Han Ziming said, "President Li, let's use 'The Beginning' to attract some viewers for the movie 'Take My Brother Away'."
For example, to celebrate the video "The Beginning" surpassing 2 billion views, they held a giveaway on Weibo, giving away 10,000 movie tickets.
Li Feng thought for a moment and said, "Okay, 40 yuan per ticket, consider it 40 yuan spent on advertising. I'll go arrange it right away."
Han Ziming instructed:
"Let me know after the official Weibo post, and I'll retweet it. Go and make the arrangements first, then come back in and we can talk about other things." "Okay, boss."
Five minutes after Li Feng left...
They returned to Han Ziming's office.
Han Ziming asked directly, "How's the progress of the 'The Story of Minglan' project?"
Li Feng said with a serious expression.
"It's all settled. Noon Sunshine said the cost doesn't need to be 300 million, 200 million will be enough. In the end, we'll contribute 100 million plus the script, giving us a 60% investment share."
The other two companies each invested 50 million, representing a 20% stake each.
Seeing Li Feng's nervous expression, Han Ziming smiled and said, "It's fine, it's not a bad thing. Why are you so serious? Is it because you couldn't invite Zhao Yingbao?"
Li Feng shook his head helplessly:
"We invited her, and she wanted to invest, but we didn't offer. As a result, Zhao Yingbao asked for 6000 million yuan in salary, but the TV series she starred in over the past two years have performed well, so we had no choice but to agree."
Han Ziming thought to himself, "This woman's asking price isn't that expensive. You know, there are people who offer even higher fees and still manage to make their money back."
He laughed and said, "It's okay, she'll help us earn the money back."
Li Feng then relaxed a little:
"I've reached an agreement with them this time. Fifty million will be paid upfront, and the remaining fifty million can be paid by the middle of next year!"
Upon hearing this, Han Ziming burst into laughter:
"That's great. You've taken the investment approach from 'The Wandering Earth.' You can use the remaining 50 million for other investments."
Seeing that his boss was so happy, Li Feng also reported on the movie-related information he had mentioned earlier.
"The adaptation rights to the Thai film 'Drishyam' and the film and television rights to the novel 'You Are So Beautiful' that we previously mentioned buying have been purchased, costing 200 million."
Han Ziming was even happier: "The price isn't too expensive. The company's existing novel copyrights aren't really suitable for adaptation into a movie, so buying them is perfect. We can arrange filming later."
Then, Li Feng brought up a matter he found rather troublesome, his tone tinged with anger.
"In terms of comedy, Mahua FunAge has launched a new comedy project and is willing to let us invest, but they want a premium."
The project's total cost is 70 million, but they want us to contribute 50 million, giving us only a 30% investment share. Isn't this just taking advantage of honest people?
Han Ziming wasn't too concerned about the specific amount, but he was a little puzzled when he heard 70 million. He remembered that the cost of "Hello Mr. Billionaire" should have been 150 million.
Han Zimo said:
"Mr. Li, let me take a look at the script first."
Only then did Li Feng realize that he had been too excited and forgot to show the script to his boss first. So he opened WeChat on his phone and sent the electronic version of the script to Han Ziming's WeChat.
Soon, Han Ziming received a WeChat message. He opened the electronic version of the script and saw the words "Never Say Die" appear in large print on his phone screen.
He quickly skimmed through the script and found that the plot was similar to the movies he had seen in his previous life.
This is a great project!
It seems that God is still looking out for me.
Han Ziming secretly decided to pretend to be wealthy and generous and not to haggle over the price.
This will attract more directors and companies to seek investment, and then there will be more scripts to choose from.
Although I have memories of my past life, I can't remember that much. In the end, I'll definitely focus on investing.
However, he can remember the outlines of some works that have not yet been released, and he can write them down and give them to the company's screenwriters to improve.
Moreover, I heard in my previous life that some people in the industry spent 7000 million to acquire part of the original investment rights for this comedy, so the current price is actually quite cheap.
Furthermore, there's no need to haggle over the price. Waiting until the film is a box office hit and then making too much profit could easily lead to disputes.
Making appropriate concessions now will make future cooperation smoother. After all, harmony brings wealth. Although it may not be in line with the high standards of the reborn, surviving is the most important thing.
After thinking it over, Han Ziming put down his phone and said calmly, "Let's invest. The plot is very good. We happen to have 50 million available from the 'The Story of Minglan' project, so let's use that money to invest in this project."
Li Feng was stunned:
"Boss, this premium is more than double! Aren't they treating us like suckers?"
Han Zimo smiled and said:
"Consider it buying an admission ticket. Once this word gets out, many people will come to us for investment, and then the choice will be in our hands."
But Mahua FunAge has an additional condition: we want a 30% priority investment right for their future projects, and we'll choose the projects ourselves.
