Chapter 29
(Please recommend! Thank you!)
Although Wu Cheng followed the film's post-production, he didn't say much. After all, he had never done editing or soundtracking. He had no say in this regard.
What he did the most was to watch silently from the side and then use those useless shots to cut some behind-the-scenes footage. He planned to use these behind-the-scenes as the end of the film's easter eggs.
When I was watching videos in the past, Wu Cheng liked to do the most, which was to watch some of the behind-the-scenes footage at the end of the video. It looked very interesting. Some scenes that were shot were actually more interesting than those that were shot without shots.
I believe that these behind-the-scenes can attract some viewers to look back and revisit them.
In mid-January, the "Five Blessings Stars" that lasted for two and a half months was finally released successfully.
The next day, Wu Cheng and Hong Jinbao took their copy to Jiahe.
Because of his first contact with He Guanchang before, Wu Cheng and Hong Jinbao did not wait long before meeting Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang. Speaking of these two people, Wu Cheng only heard of their names, but never saw them.
In fact, their generation is not unfamiliar with these two names, but even if they know that they are the producers and producers of those movies, who would have gone to find their information when there is nothing to do? If it weren't for being reborn in Xiangjiang, Wu Cheng wouldn't have had any interaction with them.
When Wu Cheng first saw Zou Wenhuai, he felt that it was no wonder that a person with this temperament would be divided with Shao Daxiang. Although he didn't know what a heroic temperament was, when he saw this person, he felt that he was a very strong person, especially his eyes, which made people dare not look at him easily.
"Mr. Zou, Mr. He!" Wu Cheng and Hong Jinbao nodded to the two and said hello.
"Sanmao, you're doing a good job!" Zou Wenhuai chuckled, but Hong Jinbao looked like a child who had done something wrong, and bowed his head and said nothing, making Wu Cheng quite speechless.
Although Hong Jinbao said he owed them favors, there was no need to see them like a mouse or a cat! Wu Cheng felt that it was a blessing that he had come by himself, otherwise, with Hong Jinbao's current state, there was no need to talk to them, so he agreed directly.
Seeing that Hong Jinbao was just giggling, Wu Cheng took over the conversation and said with a smile: "Did you do a good job? You have to see the video before you talk about it. I wonder if you are interested in enjoying it together?"
Zou Wenhuai looked at Wu Cheng and smiled and said, "You were you who bewitched Sanmao to shoot a movie for you?"
Wu Cheng raised his index finger, shook his smile, and said, "Mr. Zou was joking. Do you think I am so young and can be deceived by Brother Sanmao? We are working together to make movies."
Zou Wenhuai laughed and said, "Sanmao, what's the point of making small fuss? Why not come back? Uncle Huai asked you to set up a company by yourself. The company can give you 40% of the shares, and you can shoot whatever you like. If you don't want to come back, it doesn't matter. Your company is so small, why not invest 5 million for you and take up half of the shares. How about it?"
When Hong Jinbao heard that there were five million, he couldn't help but look at Wu Cheng.
Seeing Hong Jinbao moving, Wu Cheng shook his head slightly in his heart. As expected, Hong Jinbao is still not as famous as the one after becoming famous! If he was released, it would be surprising that he would not curse himself in his heart!
Wu Cheng smiled and said, "Mr. Zou, we are here today to discuss cooperation. If you want to cooperate with Brother Sanmao, please find another time. Is it OK?"
Zou Wenhuai didn't expect that Wu Cheng, a young boy, would not be tempted by himself, and would dare to talk to him like this, which was a bit ignorant!
Zou Wenhuai smiled and said, "Since that's the case, let's watch the movie first!"
Zou Wenhuai said, asking He Guanchang to call all the senior executives of the company over, especially those who bought the film department, to go to the small screening room together.
An hour and a half later, Zou Wenhuai walked out of the screening room with a little unfavorable expression because he could see that it was difficult to not be popular in this film. Not to mention the problem of the scene, it was just those funny scenes, which were two concepts with the humor of the Xu brothers, but they were also attractive.
The movie is good, but it is actually not a good thing for him. Because if he wants to dig Hong Jinbao again, the price he has to pay is not as much as he thought before.
In fact, this film has a lot of improvements to the one in Wu Cheng’s memory... Not to mention anything else, just talking about the scene of Deng Lijun’s guest appearance, it’s worth the vote.
"A Cheng, you don't seem to be very satisfied with Uncle Huai's investment!"
Hong Jinbao, who fell to the end, whispered to Wu Cheng.
Wu Cheng sneered and shook his head and said, "Brother Sanmao, wait! Even if you want to sell yourself now, you can't sell it for a good price. When the film is staged, you will know how much you are worth. Just five million, you want to buy our company and really treat us as beggars!"
When Hong Jinbao heard this, he smiled and said, "Which beggar can be like us, and it will cost five million at the same time!" After pausing, he said seriously: "I think Uncle Huai is still very sincere to us. Our company is only three million. He can acquire our company for five million, but now he only wants half of our shares."
Wu Cheng smiled and shook his head, whispering: "Is it worth it? Is it still the same thing. You will know when our video is released!"
In Zou Wenhuai's office, the four of them sat down again. When Wu Cheng and Hong Jinbao were talking in a low voice, Zou Wenhuai had already obtained a unified opinion with his subordinates. Now the only thing left is negotiations, how to get the greatest benefit.
"I have watched the video just now. To be honest, the video is indeed good, but I wonder how you two want to cooperate?" Zou Wenhuai did not beat around the bush, but pointed directly at the key point.
It is difficult for Hong Jinbao to speak at this time, so Wu Cheng can only do this bad guy.
Wu Cheng smiled and said, "I wonder how Mr. Zou plans to cooperate?"
"A small price, buyout of four million yuan, including the copyright of the sequel!"
Wu Cheng smiled and said, "It seems that Mr. Zou is not sincere in cooperation anymore. Well, let's not join forces with you anymore, let's say goodbye first!"
As soon as He Guanchang saw it, he stood up and shouted, "Mr. Xiao Wu, Mr. Xiao Wu, don't worry! You always need to negotiate slowly when you are engaged in business! You ask for a lot of prices and pay back the money by land, right?"
Wu Cheng shook his head and said, "Don't bully me at a young age. Everyone understands it. It's not the only one company in Xiangjiang that has theaters."
"Haha, Mr. Wu's tone is quite good. I want to see what price Shaw Brothers will give you? Do you really think Shaw Brothers is a charity organization?"
"Mr. Zou is going to make a bet with me?" Wu Cheng said with a confident smile.
The two old men looked at each other, but they could not tell the truth from Wu Cheng's face.
So He Guanchang began to be a good man again and smiled and said, "Mr. Wu, we are talking about business, not being angry, so there is no need to say angry words. Since Mr. Wu is not satisfied with the price we offer, why not talk about your conditions?"
Wu Cheng nodded and said, "We will calculate the box office of Xiangjiang by sharing the share, and divide the share the share..."
"This is impossible! No theater company is willing to use this way of sharing!"
Wu Cheng smiled and said, "Then let's use the theater package. How much money will I give you? The extra box office is ours. How about it?"
He Guanchang smiled and said, "There is no need to guarantee the bottom line. I have some confidence in the video. But the 50% 50% 50% 50% 50% 70% 50% 50% 50% 50% 70% 50% 50% 50% 50% 50% 50% 50% 50% 50% 50% 50% 50% 50% 50% 50% 50% 50% 50% 50% 50% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60% 60%
Wu Cheng smiled and shook his head, and finally said seriously: "If you don't want to share the local box office, then we will share the box office according to the time period. In the first week, we will divide it into 70%, on the second week, on the second week, on the third week, on the third week, and on the fourth week, we will divide it into 60%.
He Guanchang and Zou Wenhuai looked at each other when they heard this. Finally, Zou Wenhuai's lips raised slightly, and he smiled thoughtfully, saying, "You are the first week, you are the second week, you are the second week, you are the third week, you are the fourth week, you are the seventh week, you are the best, if you don't, please give me some advice!"
Wu Cheng thought for a while, nodded, and said, "This is OK!"
"Then I wish us a happy cooperation!" He Guanchang stood up with a smile and said.
Wu Cheng smiled and said, "Mr. He, the local box office share has been resolved, but the overseas box office share has not been mentioned yet! Don't worry!"
Wu Cheng's words made Zou He and others chuckled and felt a little sneered.
Hong Jinbao said at this time: "A Cheng, under normal circumstances, overseas buyouts, and there are few box office sharers."
Wu Cheng nodded and finally smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then overseas distribution will not be done by Mr. Zou. Let's find a way for ourselves."
When Zou Wenhuai heard this, he couldn't help laughing. After laughing, he pointed at Wu Cheng with his hand holding a cigar. He looked angry and shouted, "Young man, don't be ignorant of the world!"
Wu Cheng sneered and finally said coldly: "I know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, so is it still a young man?"
"Okay, okay!" Zou Wenhuai stood up suddenly, slapped the table, and shouted: "Since that's the case, then our cooperation ends here. I want to see what conditions he, Shao Laoliu, can give you. Achang, take out the guests for me!"
He Guanchang stood up and said, "Ah Huai, calm down!" He said as he gave Hong Jinbao a wink and signaled Hong Jinbao not to act irritably.
Hong Jinbao also grabbed Wu Cheng, and said with a begging look, "Acheng, don't be angry with Uncle Huai for now. Let's sit down and discuss anything! I believe Uncle Huai and Uncle Chang will not let us suffer." He said, looking at Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang, and also begging.
Wu Cheng sighed and said, "Brother Sanmao, don't pull me. I originally came with sincerity, and I also brought a script. I originally thought that if they were sincere, then there was nothing wrong with us to continue working together. Since that's the case, let's go and find Uncle Shao Liu. I don't believe that they would not be interested in this script."
When Zou and He heard this, they looked at each other again. He Guanchang said again: "Mr. Wu, there has been very little overseas box office sharing. We can talk about this matter again."
