Chapter 436: Super Blockbuster?
Back in the capital, the final call for investment began, and the results came out that night.
A total of 112 million was recovered from the 60 million shares of "Wonderful Night 2".
Among them, the limited premium part is only 40 million, and the total recovery is 45 million. The average premium of the remaining 20 million is 3.3 times.
The supply and demand situation is more positive than Lu Ping An imagined.
In terms of advertising investment, the target is 61 million. The largest advertisement was won by SF Express for 18 million. SF Express will realize the internationalization of express delivery this year. This stall is just right for them.
In fact, the overall advertising sponsorship amount could have been higher, but Lu Ping'an didn't give in. After all, this was a "historical" movie, and he had to consider the look and feel of the movie.
This is coupled with Hengdian's 50 million and construction investment.
Using actual production cost estimates, the movie did not unexpectedly make money before it was shot.
In this investment promotion, Enlight and Wanda successfully succeeded Huayi as Xingchen’s largest partners.
Guangguang Wang Changtian was very happy. He felt that the big and small kings of Huayi were simply blinded by ambition.
But he also understands that they want to list Huayi. The temptation of the first entertainment stock is great, and sometimes they really have to do this.
Otherwise, all the company's major profit-making projects will be unable to bypass the giant Xingchen, and the market value will be greatly reduced.
But dreams are beautiful, but reality is cruel.
Because Lu Ping An said that Xingchen will also be listed on the market next.
This is just great.
He feels that the first entertainment company in mainland China must be Xingchen.
Lu Ping'an actually didn't mention this matter at all earlier.
Now that Lu Ping'an has come up with this idea, what kind of capital can still control Huayi?
Not only Huayi, but also other companies have to step aside.
After all, who can have the fragrance of stars!
Huayi was too anxious and too confident.
Wang Changtian felt sad for Huayi again.
Needless to say, Wanda is also accumulating strength to prepare for its formal entry into the film and television industry. It is naturally great for them to be able to cooperate with Xingchen to a higher level this time.
Lu Ping An also attaches great importance to Wanda, a future giant.
But Lu Pingping is not afraid.
At present, Xingchen has begun to transform into a large multi-industry group. As long as the quality of the project can be guaranteed, it can do whatever it takes.
"Wonderful Night 2" ended its investment promotion, and before all the producers went to dinner together, Lu Pingan spent another ten minutes finalizing the sponsorship of "Buried Alive" with several mobile phone brands.
Brand owners were shocked after learning about the film's creative ideas.
Then secret filming started soon, and finally Motorola successfully won the sole sponsor of the "Buried Alive" movie with 26 million.
Motorola is very happy.
Gionee and Samsung beat their chests and stamped their feet.
Both of them paid 25 million, which was only 1 million different from Motorola.
Lu Ping'an was also happy.
This vote recovered all the losses of "The Sun".
Then we ate, and there were two people who were the most active at the table.
One is a former coal boss, current Internet upstart, and future big boss: Jia Yueting.
The other is a real estate upstart: Jiang Hongyu.
Both of them invested in "Wonderful Night 2" this time, and took 10 million and 8 million respectively to buy a small share.
To them, this little money is actually more like a ticket to eat with Lu Ping An.
Of course, the two of them wanted it too.
The former is more about seeking cooperation between Lu Ping An and LeTV.
This is no problem, it’s just normal business cooperation.
In addition, Boss Jia also said that he would learn from Director Lu and listen to the director’s suggestions for the film and television industry.
It seems like he wants to make a movie next.
Han Sanpin likes this kind of person the most.
As for the latter, he basically came here for his "super blockbuster dream".
Lu Ping'an didn't recognize this person at first, but he didn't particularly care. After all, the era of coal bosses was followed by the era of hot money in real estate. Now the era of coal bosses is coming to an end. There are already many real estate tycoons, so it's okay to chat with such people in advance. Strange.
But when Boss Jiang revealed his idea for a super blockbuster, Lu Ping'an became numb.
It turned out to be him!
Boss Jiang was talking about the famous "Mermaid Empire".
A super blockbuster that wants to combine "Raiders of the Lost Ark", "Star Wars", "Transformers", "Lord of the Rings" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" and wants to conquer movie fans around the world.
In the original time and space, this movie started in 2007 and went on for eight or nine years, and finally disappeared.
It became a huge joke in the history of movies.
But now Boss Jiang is extremely confident. He said: "The main story line will have elements of Greek mythology and the shadow of Shakespeare. I want this movie to be at least better than "Transformers"."
Boss Jiang drank and then continued to talk about his ideas.
He wants to invite Monica Bellucci, Tom Cruise and others to participate.
In short, we want to make this movie like "Huan Tai", a super blockbuster that spans the East and the West!
With that said, Boss Jiang wanted to invite Lu Pingan to direct, and the director and screenwriter would take care of it.
"money is not a problem!"
Boss Jiang waved his hand, full of aura.
Guangguang Lao Wang laughed and said: "The market price of Director Lu's director's salary starts at 20 million US dollars. This is not a problem? You are awesome!"
There was a trace of surprise in Boss Jiang's eyes, and then he turned to a nonchalant tone and continued: "I told you, money is not a problem, Director Lu, I will come to visit after I have sorted out my ideas. I will trouble you to give me more advice in the future." ”
Lu Pingan smiled and raised his glass.
However, after many days after the banquet, Boss Jiang did not show up again.
Lu Pingan was speechless.
He really didn't know whether he was scared or there was a bigger "surprise" waiting for him in the future.
In any case, Lu Pingan stopped thinking about it and continued to work.
The investment promotion for "Wonderful Night 2" has ended, and the scenes in Hengdian are about to be completed.
It's time to start casting.
On the 11th, the original cast of "Wonderful Night 1" gathered at Xingchen.
Except for Jay Chou who couldn't come for the concert, Fan Wei, Ge You, Xu Shanzheng and others were not absent.
Everyone met and greeted each other warmly.
The atmosphere was the same as when they were filming, very good.
When Lu Pingan came, "Xia Yu" greeted him immediately: "Brother Pingan!"
Lu Pingan pinched his face: "Still so fat!"
You Haoran covered his face on the spot, which was very cute. It's a pity that he couldn't go so far after growing up.
It seems that when "Wonderful Night 3" is released, adult actors will be replaced.
Then greet the rest of the actors.
In fact, we have always met each other over the years, but we have not worked together again.
So we are not unfamiliar.
After meeting and drinking tea together, we talked about things.
This time, Fan Wei is still the protagonist, and Ge Da Ye will only appear for a short while as in the second part of the original version.
In fact, strictly speaking, except for the protagonist, the rest of these people do not have many roles.
But everyone said it doesn't matter, because they still get paid, so they naturally have no objection.
After the noisy meeting lasted for more than ten minutes, everyone began to be curious about the script.
"Wonderful Night 2" has a high level of attention, and everyone has long wanted to know the plot in advance.
But unfortunately, this time, except for the protagonist Fan Wei and Ge Da Ye, who is a veteran, the rest can only get their own separate scripts.
The guest roles don't even have scripts.
Of course, there are definitely exceptions, such as Li Zi.
But this is not suitable for outsiders~
Get the script, find the schedule, then have dinner together, and then go their separate ways.
The next afternoon, the new actors of "Wonderful Night 2" came to the company.
Li Chengru, Hu Ge, Liu Qianqian
When Li Chengru came, he laughed and said, "I've finally waited for this!"
This guy regretted so much after missing out on "The Bucket List" that he would come every month to ask if there were any new roles.
This time, the role of Chiyou requires a lot of comedy attributes, so he was just the right choice.
