Chapter 181: Add more! Make another "Young Justice Bao"!
Chapter 181: Add more! Make another "Young Justice Bao"!
“Have you filmed this play?”
“It’s still under preparation.”
"That means it will take about a year to determine the winner."
"almost."
"Oh, I see. You want to compete with our The Legend of the Condor Heroes."
"If Mr. Ma thinks so, there is nothing we can do."
"If you ask me, you are really a toad wanting to eat swan meat."
"How to say?"
"Think beautifully!"
"you……"
Cai Yi was angry, but it was not because of Ma Xun's idiom that he was angry.
She knew that Ma Xun had seen through the gambling game.
Ma Xun laughed, "You just want to take advantage of the popularity of our The Legend of the Condor Heroes. This one million bet, even if you lose it, it's nothing. It's worth it as advertising money."
You're using this trick on me too?
My "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is also going to follow the popularity of CCTV's "Swordsman".
It looks a bit complicated, and it's under the name of a bet. Even Cai Yinong is betting her own underwear.
But in fact, it is just a means to gain popularity.
I was using it before you did!
Ma Xun's laugh really irritated Cai Yinong.
"So what do you want to do? Stop gambling?"
Obviously, at this point, Miss Cai Yinong's temper also flared up.
This is exactly her enthusiasm that Ma Xun wants.
He laughed again, "Bet, of course, but you only have this "The Emperor of Han Dynasty", I can beat you with any play I make!"
Cai Yi got even angrier after hearing this, "Stop bragging!"
To be honest, Ma Xun was indeed bragging.
Although there are a lot of melons, "The Emperor of Han Dynasty" is indeed a high-quality TV series.
Moreover, as far as the current situation is concerned, it should be the two forces of Zhou Zhengyi and Tang people that have joined forces with Shi Li.
This strength is more than twice as strong as in the original time and space.
From this point of view, "The Emperor of Han Dynasty" must be good.
But why is Ma Xun afraid of them!
"Cai Yining, believe it or not, any play I make is better than yours."
"That's impossible!" Cai Yinong was already furious, but she still had some brains. "You mean, are you planning to use this casually made play of yours to gamble with our "The Emperor of Han Dynasty"?"
Ma Xun immediately smiled and said, "That's not the case. How about this, why don't we increase the bet?"
"Raise?"
"Oh, you didn't think I would ask for an extra pair of panties from you? I'm not some pervert."
"Ma Xun, you..."
Cai Yi was so angry that he almost fainted.
The key is, I was blushing.
Ma Xun knew that this strong woman from the second generation of rich people was completely under his control, and this kind of excitement was absolutely the best.
"Just double it. I'm betting two movies with you. You should also bring out two movies. The stakes should be at least 200 million. That way it will be more interesting."
What Ma Xun likes is money, as for the underwear, it is actually just to teach this little girl Cai Yinong how to behave!
Saying that I lost my underwear is just an exaggerated metaphor. Who knew that this girl took it seriously?
Facing Ma Xun’s raise, Cai Yin gritted his teeth!
"Add it if you want!"
Ma Xun was not afraid either, he immediately stretched out his hand and said, "Let's bet."
With a snap, the two of them high-fived as an oath.
The bet is settled.
Cai Yi left angrily, and Ma Xun picked up the check for one million.
There was a crisp sound and it bounced.
You want to take advantage of the popularity of our "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
Then don't blame me for using some tricks.
Ma Xun was of course confident of winning, so he could just "casually" put on a play.
But it is definitely not easy!
……
It’s just two million!
snort!
Two hours passed and Cai Yinong was still angry.
However, she still has confidence in this gamble.
Shi Li, Qin Hui, Zhou Zhengyi, and the Thirteenth Young Master from Yongsheng.
They are all big bosses.
If Cai Yinong joins forces with these people, he will definitely be able to create a classic drama.
She had read the script of "The Emperor of Han Dynasty" before.
Pretty good.
Moreover, a very big-name actor has already been confirmed.
Uncle Daoming.
In addition, there are several acting talents from Hong Kong and Taiwan who are also in talks.
So, the remaining focus is the male protagonist.
Shili had chosen one before, and he looked quite handsome in the photo.
He looks gentle and elegant.
The handsome guy from Northeast China can indeed do it.
Thinking of this, Cai Yinong's mood finally calmed down a lot.
The next step, of course, is to meet with big bosses like Shi Li.
But to be honest, Cai Yinong really can't like a place like Heaven on Earth.
But right now, this place is very popular.
Almost all the top stars in the entertainment industry come here to eat, drink and have fun.
The same is obviously true for Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.
I'm here to discuss business... Cai Yining told himself.
Unexpectedly, Cai Yinong heard bad news as soon as he arrived at Shili's private room.
"What? Compensation?"
"This one……"
"Director Guan, please speak carefully and don't be anxious."
"Are you still not in a hurry? How can you lose money?"
As soon as Cai Yimiao arrived, he immediately became a minion.
Zhou Zhengyi saw her and signaled her not to speak.
Shi Li and Qin Hui were obviously angry, and Guan Peng seemed to be being scolded.
But it is obvious that Director Guan is conveying a message.
It looks like it's not good news.
Guan Peng had no choice but to continue reporting: "The main reason is that the market situation is not good. They say that the economy is strong, but it is all lies.
In addition, it was indeed unexpected that suddenly, Hong Kong people no longer liked watching horror movies.
So, this is the situation now.”
What is this situation?!
Under the stern gazes of the bosses, Guan Peng had no choice but to say:
"Several movies failed to achieve the expected box office results, and it is indeed difficult to get back the 30 million we invested."
what!
Shi Li could no longer bear it and shouted angrily, "Thirty million! Just like that, it's gone?"
Qin Hui and Zhou Zhengyi couldn't hold it anymore.
"Isn't that too exaggerated?"
"No matter how you look at it, there can't be nothing!"
In fact, movie investment is high-risk. Not to mention that the box office is not as good as expected, the invested money will be wasted.
For some movies, even if they have high box office, they may not be able to recoup their investment.
Guan Peng was now very nervous, so he could only say like a bullied wife: "It's not all gone, we still have the copyright."
copyright?
The box office is so bad, how much can the copyright sell for?
But Guan Peng added, "We are not the ones who suffered the most losses. There is a lot of wailing in the Hong Kong film industry right now. Thirteenth Young Master can testify to that."
Wow, he even pulled the Thirteenth Young Master down.
His already pale face now glared at Guan Peng fiercely.
Thirteenth Young Master then forced a smile and said, "My dear bosses, this is indeed the case now. The market for Hong Kong movies is not good. The ghost movies that were very popular before are not selling well now."
His statement is indeed more convincing than Guan Peng's.
But, 30 million is the key!
"Okay, the market is bad, we can accept that, but what about the money?"
Zhou Zhengyi said that he would not tolerate any injustice.
We don’t care about the market conditions, money is the key!
Shi Li was even more straightforward, "Just tell me, how much will be left of the 30 million?"
This question fell to Guan Peng. He wiped his sweat and said, "There should be a few million left. In addition, if we make it into a CD, we should be able to recover some of it, but it will take longer."
millions?
Shi Li understood it as soon as he heard it, it must be less than this.
As for the disc...
Qin Hui couldn't help but said, "Are you trying to make pirated copies and send them to the mainland?" He didn't need to say anything to see Guan Peng's expression after hearing this.
That's definitely what you think!
Although this is one way, if you want to earn back the 30 million by this method, it will take a long time!
But Guan Peng still said stubbornly: "There is nothing we can do about this. In fact, our performance is pretty good. Other ghost movies are even worse. They are really terrible."
He was also smart, constantly emphasizing that others lost more.
I guess he has no other choice now.
Shi Li, Qin Hui and Zhou Zhengyi, the three main investors, now fully understood it.
It is certain that you have to pay compensation.
And there are quite a few of them.
Fortunately, the 30 million was not paid by just one of them.
"Boss Shi, this money issue..."
"Boss Zhou, you'd better come up with two houses, otherwise I won't be able to do the accounting."
"If you want a property, I can provide one."
The real estate mentioned here is of course mainly in Hong Kong.
At present, the real estate industry in our mainland has not yet taken off.
But, obviously, the three of them were really hurt this time.
But they are discussing compensation.
Cai Yinong over there was very nervous.
She used to think that two million was nothing.
Given the current situation...it seems like these two million is really not a small amount!
In fact, as a rich second-generation, she doesn’t have a strong concept of money.
Two million is a lot of money at any time.
Even in the current entertainment industry, you can invest in one or two projects and become a small boss following the big guys for a few times.
But the bet has been made.
We have to hold on no matter what!
Shi Lu and his men have finally settled the accounts, and no one can escape paying the compensation this time.
So, I finally thought of Cai Yinong.
"Bet?"
"Yes, this guy Ma Xun is extremely confident and wants to raise the stakes."
"Okay! Let this guy join in! Haha..."
If you gamble, it would be like Ma Xun being cheated.
At least that's what these guys think.
Apart from anything else, even if it loses, it can still legitimately hype up the rivalry between "The Emperor of Han Dynasty" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
That money is equivalent to advertising fees, and publicity costs a lot of money anyway.
But it suddenly became two million, and two dramas... Of course Cai Yinong didn't mention the underwear matter.
"Can that guy Ma Xun take on so many projects?"
This question of stone lichen sounds simple, but when you think about it carefully... it's a bit scary.
Is this guy Ma Xun already so powerful?
Qin Hui spoke up at this time.
"We are not bad either. We can also try out our "Painting Soul" first."
This drama is going to be promoted, and, judging from the timing.
"Painting Soul" may be broadcast around the same time as "Storm and Cloud".
Hype it up first?
"Okay! It's absolutely okay!"
Guan Peng was very active at this time.
However, Cai Yinong still planned to discuss "The Emperor of Han Dynasty". After all, she could also insert a lot of people into it.
Unexpectedly, at this moment someone came in from outside and whispered something to Guan Peng.
"Oh no!" Guan Peng shouted.
All the bosses were shocked.
"what happened again?"
"Say it!"
Guan Peng looked embarrassed, but he could only say, "Our leading actor has quit!"
Cai Yinong thought that the handsome guy from Northeast China was pretty good before, but now he thinks so now?
She couldn't help but open her mouth.
what happened?
The lead actor ran away before the filming even started.
This is not a good sign.
It seems to foreshadow:
Are we going to lose again?!
But the bad news isn't over yet.
There comes another big guy in this world.
"Everyone, what's going on? Why are you all so sad?"
Lin Jianyue is here in Beijing again.
His appearance did not improve the atmosphere in the entire private room.
Because this guy also seems to have a lot of lawsuits on his mind.
"Brother Lin, is there anything wrong again?"
Lin Jianyue said directly: "I'm so angry! The previous movie "The Abbey" was a big hit in Hong Kong, but now it's reported that it was sold to Japan and the United States. The copyright was acquired by Columbia Pictures."
When everyone heard this, they understood why the second young master of ATV was angry.
But then, this guy mentioned another person.
"The important person in this transaction is Mr. Ma."
Ma Xun?!
Did he make a fortune again?
The bosses present felt very upset.
Especially this guy named Shili.
It would be fine if I lost money, but now I know that my opponent is making money.
It's so painful!
……
In the courtyard, in the evening.
Ma Xun tapped on the keyboard.
"Master, the Hong Kong film industry has been hit hard again. Many ghost movies have been released, and the box office is very bleak..."
This is the email that Cherie Chung sent to him.
The new wife is a top-notch lady, and she is quite capable.
The emails that Ma found back were very interesting.
"I'm the one who created this situation. Now find out which company lost money and how much it lost. It would be best if you could find out the source of the funds."
"As you command. But, I'm really curious, why do you want to check this?"
"Once we find out, we'll know what valuable things we can get, such as the copyright of old movies. I don't want to spend too much money."
"I understand! Thank you for clearing up my confusion, Master."
Very well behaved indeed.
Ma Xun didn't know at this time that he had started a wave of Hong Kong ghost movies craze.
It not only dealt a heavy blow to the Hong Kong film industry, but also caused real harm to Shi Li and others.
But in fact, Ma Xun still wanted to reap Jiahe’s resources.
Copyrights of cinemas and old movies.
In fact, there is a very important 'benefit' for him to do this.
It means that it will be easier to export.
Ma Xun now has many industries and copyrights, and he has many movies and TV series in production.
With so many dramas produced, we can’t just make money in our mainland.
To go out.
It doesn't have to be sold to Europe and the United States, but it can be sold to Asian countries, Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, etc.
Isn’t this wonderful!
In fact, this is also the trend of the future.
In the later era of traffic in our country, the audiences were very curious about some of the bad dramas that attracted traffic, which were obviously not good to watch and the data were also very bad.
But why can these traffic stars continue to film?
The reason is simple, that is, overseas, especially in Southeast Asia, these traffics are very popular!
Therefore, what Ma Xun did was equivalent to making arrangements in advance.
After replying to Chung Chuhong's email, Ma Xun changed the document again.
Keep typing.
What is he writing?
A script called...
But at this moment, a phone call came in.
"Your Majesty, we have accomplished our mission and we have taken down the film 'My Sassy Girl'!"
Ye Quanzhen was on the phone, very excited.
Ma Xun understood as soon as he heard it. She must have returned to Beijing and was in her small courtyard.
I guess Bingbing is also there.
Ma Xun felt a little stressed, but he looked at the document on the computer monitor again:
"Young Justice Bao".
Should Ye Quanzhen be in charge of this play?
