Chapter 66 Eighth Uncle Is Old?
Yongsheng has been in a bad life in the past few years. After "Asura", he never dared to invest in large-scale projects at will.
Although it has a good relationship with Xihong TV, it cannot be used as a food even if it has a good relationship. Its own star-making ability is too poor. Several TVs that have been invested independently were barely bought by Xihong TV. The ratings are so low...
In the end, it can only be sold to local stations and online video companies!
Last year, I only produced three online dramas throughout the year!
Gu Nianxi remembered that her mouth was bubbled, and she still insisted on going to work with her big belly.
However, it's useless. Xihong City itself is not a place for film and television talents to gather. Most of the scripts hoarded by the company are from unknown screenwriters.
I learned to buy IP at a high price. After I bought it, I realized that the IP was not working!
Just take a photo. Other TV stations may not be willing to buy it. They sell it to online videos, and can only sell it half and get it out...
Which online video does not have a self-produced drama now?
The TV series they produce themselves, digest them by themselves!
As a result, Yongsheng's life became more and more difficult.
I can only rely on its sixty cinemas to barely maintain a low level...
At the beginning of the year, the head of a Diane company came to the door and said that Netflix wanted to produce "Kublai", and the director was Brian Kirk...
"No, such a simple scam..."
"…We checked the bottom of the price verification company. They do have a North American background and have participated in the production of several movies, although they are all medium and low-cost productions..."
Xiaojiu felt a little wronged.
"Then what?"
"…We also checked Netflix and did have the intention to produce "Kublai"..."
Xiaobai frowned: "Where did you check it?"
"We hired North American detectives... In fact, there is no need to hire them at all. Netflix does have plans to produce "Kublai" and "Genghis Khan"..."
"So, you guys took the bait?"
"Mainly, Yangzi also invested 30 million US dollars..."
Yangzi, Huang Shengyi's husband...
"Okay, what do you say to Uncle Eight?"
“…My dad said that one’s mistake will lead to wisdom…”
Xiaojiu felt a little embarrassed.
"You ask Xiaoxi to go to Li Yundi tomorrow, just say what I said, the 'Kung Fu Universe' project, let her invest 20%!"
“…No, I mean, can you do a favor and make a movie…”
Xiaobai was silent for a long time: "My plan for the next three years is full, and I really don't have time!"
"Then we have a new guy..."
"Xiaojiu, please let Uncle Eight tell me!"
...
Once the entertainment industry is linked to capital, many things will become natural!
How to launder money by capital?
Establish a pyramid-like investment structure to attract people at the bottom of the pyramid to invest, and then take away their money and pay it back a small part of it, so that they will think they have received a huge reward and then tell their friends...
Typical Ponzi scheme!
Moreover, in this way, we can win more trust from people, so that these people can invest more, especially when throwing out a big project, those who have won trust will invest in his project several times more than in the past, and then...
Then, through financial means, he disappeared from then on with the money...
You can't find any way to sue him!
There are such people in the circle, and the most famous one is of course Li Meng, the promoter of the China Wheelchair Angel Charity Association!
This guy has a good relationship with many celebrities, and he is indeed the founder of a private charity organization!
In addition to charity activities, she also invests in film and television production.
...
In fact, according to Xiaobai's idea, he and Yongsheng are already in the past.
Yes, at the beginning, Uncle Eight helped a lot.
The investments in "Brothers of Waste" and "Knock on the Door of Heaven" were all given by them, including the eighth uncle of Qingyi Society, who still retains 20% of the shares of Qingyi Society. The dividend last year was as high as 18 million, and he had already recovered his capital!
"Asura", Yongsheng lost more than 100 million yuan. If it weren't for the reminder of Xiaobai, he would have lost more!
Last year, Yongsheng's book loss reached more than 80 million...
I went to Cannes to buy a bunch of films, and then found that they could not be released!
I originally wanted to tighten my investment this year, and only make one movie, two TV series at most, and then a pie fell from the sky!
Netflix’s project!
Let’s put it this way, Bai Xiaofei Studio took over "Li Shimin", and its market price rose by more than half. Industry insiders believe that if the studio chooses to go public, its market price will be worth at least 30 billion!
Gu Nianxi is already very cautious, but with his teammates, Yangzi's Juli Film and Television has only 30 million US dollars. If one of his own investments is slow, there will be no meat to eat!
So, grit your teeth!
Just invest 50 million!
Uncle Eight obviously knew this. Although he felt that there was something wrong with this matter, he was thinking that he could not miss the opportunity...
This is also the most likely reason why Chinese businessmen are deceived. They are very greedy and more courageous!
Uncle Lei said that pigs can take off even when standing at the vent, but how many people are brave enough to stand at the vent?
Xiaobai was a little sad when he hung up the phone...
Uncle Eight on the other end of the phone almost begged him to make a movie for Yongsheng...
Alas, it’s great to sell houses, why do you have to go to this muddy water in the entertainment industry?
Lao Wang is now low-key and never dares to say anything like "set a small goal first".
After taking a shower, the young lady was applying skin care products. When she saw Xiaobai sitting on the sofa, she was not sure what was going on: "…What's wrong?"
"Yongsheng and the others were cheated!"
“…Is that so? How many have you been cheated?”
"Fifty million..."
"…Fifty million is not too much. Let them have a better memory. Don't always think that if you have money, you can play in the film and television industry!"
"Dollar!"
“…I…50 million dollars?”
The young lady was also a little surprised. This is not a small number...
Many film companies have made such profits in several years!
"…What are their ideas?"
The young lady suddenly became alert.
“…No, it’s like letting me help direct a movie…”
“No contract signed?”
“…Contract? What contract?”
Xiaobai suddenly woke up!
Isn't this horse trampling a trap?
If Xiaobai agreed to help Yongsheng direct the movie, would they make money in the name of this?
Xiaobai’s reputation is very valuable!
Just like Lechuang Entertainment in the original time and space, Xu Laoqian signed "The Legend of Condor Heroes", Zhang Zhao gathered a lot of capital...
Xiaobai's name is much better than Old Monster Xu!
When the movie is released, if you do some tricks, the overseas copyright belongs to them!
The most important reason why Yongsheng has been able to persist in the past few years is that it has opened up overseas channels, and many film and television companies have to pass through them.
Then, who was hurt?
Of course it’s Bai Xiaofei himself!
Investments have not received the due returns, and investors will only look for the most famous one!
This trick is really clever, and at least it can be exchanged for tens of millions of capital...
Gu Nianxi and Xiaojiu must have never imagined that only Uncle Ba can have such a treacherous guy!
Chapter completed!
