Millionaire Suddenly Appears - C246 Invest in a Movie
C246 Invest in a Movie
After drinking the five rounds of wine, Qiao Fugang once again changed the topic to the movies, “Mr Wu, I plan to make a love movie with youth, I don’t know if you are interested?”
“I like youthful love the most. Do you have a script?” Wu Tian is not in a hurry to decide whether to invest or not.
Before he invested, he needed to read the script and at the same time examine the team to see how big the investment potential of the project was.
After all, this type of investment was not a small amount. Once you entered the game, it would be a huge investment. Not making money meant losing money.
Doing business wanted to keep the risks to a minimum — no one wanted to lose money.
“There’s a script.” Qiao Fugang nodded, then ordered the middle-aged woman beside him: “Quickly show the script to Mr Wu.”
“Alright.” The middle-aged woman was now very convinced of Wu Tian, so she was naturally willing to cooperate.
She quickly took out a script from her bag and handed it to Wu Tian, “Mr Wu, this is our script.”
“Alright.”
Wu Tian took the script and was in no hurry to open it. He asked the middle-aged woman: “I still don’t know your name.”
“Elder Sister Yan, in charge of film production and planning.” Elder Sister Yan stroked her hair and introduced herself with a smile.
“Then I’ll call you Elder Sister Yan from now on.” After Wu Tian said this, he opened the script and started reading.
After reading the script, Wu Tian seemed to be very satisfied: “Not bad, the main story is clear, the plot is reasonable, it’s in line with the public’s aesthetic sense.”
Previously, he had enjoyed reading storytelling novels, but now, when he saw this script, he felt that it was very good.
“Mr Wu, do you think there’s any value in investing?” Qiao Fugang quickly asked when he noticed Wu Tian’s interest in the script.
“Yes.” Wu Tian nodded strongly and smiled, “From my unprofessional point of view, this story is not bad. It will definitely be a success when it’s made into a movie.”
“So, Mr Wu is willing to invest?”
“Of course.” Wu Tian first nodded his head, then changed his tone: “But I still need to go to your team to check it out.”
“No problem. I’ll take you there after the meal.” After saying this, Qiao Fugang hurriedly poured a glass of red wine for Wu Tian. “Come, let’s drink.”
“Cheers!” Wu Tian, as if picking up a treasure, toasted Qiao Fugang. He continued to drink.
If he could take this opportunity to enter the entertainment circle, it would be something worth being happy about.
They continued to drink and eat. After dinner, Zong Liu had other things to do, so he left his phone number with Wu Tian before leaving in a hurry.
On the other hand, Wu Tian followed Qiao Fugang and the others to the recording studio that they rented. There were a lot of equipment that they bought themselves.
Although this team was small in size, they were well-equipped, so they were not bad.
After visiting the team and equipment, Wu Tian immediately made a decision, “Director Qiao, I’ve decided to invest in this movie.”
“Thank you, Mr Wu, for your support.” Qiao Fugang bowed deeply to express his gratitude.
For local directors like them, being able to get an investment was indeed something worth celebrating.
If he could become an international top director in the future, he would not have to worry about investing. As long as he set up the project, he would be able to get an investment.
“This is called a win-win partnership.” After Wu Tian said this, he raised his head and laughed out loud.
He liked this script and liked Qiao Fugang’s team. It was definitely a team with potential.
“Then let’s discuss the details of the cooperation again.” Qiao Fugang was so happy that his mouth couldn’t close, “Today, we will finalize the contract and put all of our energy into this movie.”
“Alright.”
Wu Tian nodded and asked with a serious expression, “Director Qiao, according to your plan, how much money would you need for this youthful love movie?”
“No more than fifty million.” Qiao Fugang stretched out his right hand and said.
“Alright!”
Wu Tian rubbed his chin thoughtfully and said expressionlessly, “Then tell me exactly how to use the money.”
“It’s about two-thirds of the money spent on actor pay and filming — one-third of the money spent on marketing.”
“Alright.” Wu Tian thought for a moment and said, “I invested 50 million and got 5% of the commission. Is that okay with you?”
“Of course.”
“Alright, then let’s sign the contract.”
“I’ll have the contract printed now.” Qiao Fugang quickly had his contract printed.
After both sides confirmed that there were no problems with the contract, they immediately signed it.
The cooperation between the two was very smooth and could be said to be extremely fast. In less than a day, they had already signed a cooperation agreement.
After signing the contract, Qiao Fugang was very happy. He stood up and said to Wu Tian, “Mr Wu, I hope we can cooperate happily.”
“Happy cooperation.” Wu Tian pursed his lips and smiled. At the same time, he encouraged Qiao Fugang, “You can do whatever you want.” He continued, “If something happens, we’ll negotiate. If we disagree, you’ll be our leader.”
In terms of movies, Qiao Fugang is more professional and experienced, so he should listen to Qiao Fugang’s opinion.
“Thank you, Boss Wu, for your support.” Qiao Fugang bowed deeply to express his gratitude.
It was an honor to meet such an enlightened investor.
“Arrange someone for me. I need to know the details of the new movie.”
“Alright.” Qiao Fugang nodded. Then, the team’s Elder Sister Yan ordered, “Xiao Yan, you will be responsible for docking with Boss Wu. Introduce the movie details to Boss Wu.”
“Alright.”
Elder Sister Yan nodded and gestured at Wu Tian, “Boss Wu, go to my office. There’s a lot of information on the new movie in there.”
“Alright.”
Wu Tian nodded and followed Elder Sister Yan into the office.
Upon entering the office, he saw all kinds of information placed randomly inside. It was as though the entire room had been robbed, and it was a complete mess.
Looking at this mess, Wu Tian felt a headache coming on: “Elder Sister Yan, do you usually not clean up?”
*
Elder Sister Yan coughed dryly and explained in a small, embarrassed voice, “I’m usually too busy so I don’t have time to tidy up.”
After saying so, she began to organize everything.
“Are you married?” Wu Tian couldn’t help but ask.
To tell the truth, he hadn’t thought that a woman as beautiful, capable, and decent as Elder Sister Yan — her office — could be so slovenly.
“Married.” Elder Sister Yan tidied up the messy room and at the same time said expressionlessly, “I’m divorced now.”
“Widow now?”
“You …” Elder Sister Yan’s face suddenly sank, as if she had received a great shock.
Wu Tian realized that he said something wrong and quickly apologized, “Sorry, Elder Sister Yan, I didn’t mean it that way.”
“It doesn’t matter.” Elder Sister Yan smiled awkwardly as she continued to clean up the office.
“I’ll help you.” Perhaps it was to atone for his sins, Wu Tian also started to clean up the office.
Under the cooperation of the two of them, the office was quickly cleaned up.
Elder Sister Yan wiped the sweat off her forehead and said with a surprised smile, “I didn’t expect that such a big boss like you would not put on any airs. You even helped a subordinate clean up the room.”
“You are not my subordinate, we are just partners.” Wu Tian retorted.
