Chapter 658 Lemon Five Beauty
"Oh, "To Our Mortal Youth"? I seem to remember, yes, it should be in Lemon's hands."
Obviously Jiang Xiao guessed it right, but naturally he still responded in such an "unexpected" way.
Then he suddenly remembered something. Didn't he just say that his colleagues were competing with him for copyright? This happened in "To Youth".
The copyright fee was offered to be 30% higher than that of Lemon, but what Jiang Xiao never expected was that the author of the original work, a girl born in the 1980s, was actually a fan of his and refused to go to another company before Lemon could raise the price.
, and chose lemon.
"Then...I don't know if Jiang Xiao is willing to..."
Zhao Wei, who naturally didn't know what Jiang Xiao was thinking, quickly continued to remind him.
After finishing, he continued to think of something, and quickly added: "Of course, I am willing to transfer the copyright of the novel from Lemon at double the premium."
"Do I need this little money?"
Well, Jiang Xiao thought about it in his mind, but naturally didn't say it out loud.
But after thinking for a moment, he responded: "Sister Wei, there is no need to go to such trouble to transfer the copyright. We can cooperate directly. You will be the director and Lemon will handle the investment."
Jiang Xiao was very direct and didn't want to waste more time.
Anyway, in the future, if Lemon develops "Youth" by himself, he will also need a director, so Zhao Wei will take the initiative to send it to his door and use it. At least in my memory, the film was still very successful.
At least there are benefits to using this person, it brings with it the attention it brings.
It is absolutely unknown whether another new director with little experience would be able to achieve the same box office success.
"Ah? Direct cooperation? But after all, I have never been a director. I am a complete newcomer in this area. I don't even know how to do it myself."
Zhao Wei was speaking from her heart, otherwise her first thought probably wouldn't have been to obtain the copyright to "To Our Perishable Youth".
"It's okay, I just like to use new people, and I believe Sister Wei can definitely take the picture well."
Jiang Xiao said politely.
"Oh, Jiang Xiao, your words are really comforting. If you are not afraid of losing money, then I won't be pretentious, so let's cooperate."
"If I lose, I don't want any compensation. If that's not possible, I can bear part of the investment in my own name."
Jiang Xiao spoke so simply that Zhao Wei simply stopped talking and made a decision on the spot.
"It's okay. Investment is inherently risky. Sister Wei, you don't have to do this. You still have to collect the remuneration you should receive. Don't worry about investing. The cost of a feature film shouldn't be too high. At most, you can give a friendly discount on the remuneration.
, charge less, ha~!”
Jiang Xiao continued to say this in a joking way.
Just kidding, even if Zhao Wei wants to invest in him, he has to decline. He doesn’t want too much money, so he should just become the “female Buffett” and let him make the real money.
If all goes well and "To Youth" can still get over 700 million in box office, then based on the cost of the movie, the net profit should be more than 200 million.
Zhao Wei won't let Zhao Wei share this little money, just give him a fixed reward.
well!
Jiang Xiao felt that at this moment, he was really an extremely qualified businessman, and he put all the money in his pocket.
"Okay, Jiang Xiao, you are so interesting. You even helped me with the investment, so I have nothing to say."
"By the way, now that I've said that, can I invite you to be the leading actor in the movie "To Our Dying Youth"?"
Zhao Wei, half joking, half serious, made another impromptu invitation.
"Well, there may be no schedule. I still have three dramas on hand, so I probably won't be able to find time before the second half of next year."
Jiang Xiao thought it was better to forget about his participation in "To Youth". Now he doesn't have to make excuses anymore.
After all, there are really three movies waiting for him. "Beijing Love Story" is one of them. The script has been written and has entered the substantial preparation stage. If it goes quickly, it will be officially launched in early September.
There is also "Vegetarian 6", which will start shooting in the first half of next year. It has been officially confirmed that he will continue to play the role in the previous movie.
It will continue to invest, and Global will not immediately kick Lemon out of the game.
To put it bluntly, Global Global still has the mentality of risk transfer and is prepared for the eventuality of failure.
After all, the movie hasn't been made yet, and no one can predict the changes in the future or whether it will be successful, and it's not just one or two popular sequels that fail.
However, Jiang Xiao, who has bugs, can be expected. "Vegetarian 5" also proves that his participation has not hindered the world and is still shining in the Chinese market.
In addition to these two movies, there is also the military-themed movie that is progressing slowly.
But it should be ready soon. Lin Shi has roughly mastered 3D shooting. It will either be shot before "Vegetarian 6", or it may be shot after. It depends on the specific preparations.
Mainly, this movie should become Lemon's largest investment, with an initial estimate of more than 300 million.
To be honest, so far, Lemon has never invested in a movie with a cost of over 100 million, let alone over 300 million.
Without one billion, I feel like I can’t even get my money back.
Furthermore, this is a purely original film that has never been seen before. The only thing Jiang Xiao can provide is the wonderful action scenes in memory.
"Well, that's a bit regretful. I really want to cooperate with you, Jiang Xiao."
Hearing Jiang Xiao's words, Zhao Wei felt really regretful that they could not work together. If the other party was willing, she had plans to play the female lead.
"If it doesn't work this time, there will always be opportunities in the future. Fortunately, there are many actresses under Lemon."
Jiang Xiao's polite words hinted to Zhao Wei that "To Youth" would be best with artists from Lemon.
"I know this. There are five beautiful actresses under your Lemon brand, called the 'Lemon Five Beauties'!"
Zhao Wei also smiled and answered.
"Yes, then Sister Wei, just look at choosing the right actor to star in "To the Youth We Will Eventually Lose". Of course, if it's not suitable, you can also consider other actors."
Having said all that, the hints are not enough, so Jiang Xiao will make it clear.
The last sentence is just a polite statement. I believe Xiaoyanzi won't understand it and should really take it seriously.
The so-called "Five Lemon Beauties" are actually Gao Yuanyuan, Yang Mi, Zhao Liying, Tong Liyan and Dilireba.
Needless to say, Da Meiyuan became popular relatively early.
Damimi finally became popular this year because of "Palace", Tong Yaya also became popular in the past two years because of "Latent" and "Beijing Love Story", and even Zhao Xiaodao, who had not had much presence before, became famous because of "The Age of Fruity Marriage"
Become popular.
As for the Reba girl, she is considered a make-up for the time being. It is probably more because of her posting on Weibo that time that the media added her to the "Five Lemons".
Of course, there must be a reason why Dilraba has been his assistant, especially since Zhao Liying has also been his assistant and is now popular again, so there must be a cascading effect.
In terms of fame, I guess it can only be called "Lemon Four Beauties".
And this statement is actually only this year. To be precise, it was only called out by the media after Tong Liya officially joined Lemon.
Chapter completed!
