Chapter 1408 Special Invitation
Facing Huang Bo's lobbying, Lu Heng acted very calmly.
"Brother Bo, tell the truth! For me, for things like investing in movies, the income is really just that. I am only willing to talk to Chen Zhixi because of your face. If she is sincere later, then I
I’m definitely willing to invest.”
After listening to Lu Heng's words, Huang Bo was very moved.
Indeed, based on Lu Heng's current net worth, if he invests in Taijiao, even if the box office does reach 300 to 400 million, he will only earn tens of millions, or even none.
This time he put down his dignity and talked, which really gave himself a lot of face.
Huang Bo looked solemn and said, "Thank you, brother. I will discuss the investment conditions with Miss Chen carefully. At least I won't let you suffer!"
Lu Heng's eyes flashed, and he suddenly said: "Actually, there is something I forgot to mention today. You can disclose it to Chen Zhixi."
"Uh, what's going on?"
"I opened a company called Xiaoshuidi, and its main product is an online taxi-hailing software called Didi Taxi. I also read Taijiao's script. It's a modern urban comedy that could use some advertising."
Huang Bo was stunned. He didn't expect that Lu Heng would open more and more companies now.
However, he quickly took Lu Heng's proposal to heart.
After all, Tai Jiong's investment was not the main topic between the two. Huang Bo was just one of the protagonists, and he received a fixed salary, so he didn't need to worry too much about it.
He was just doing his best for his friend Xu Zheng's directorial debut.
The subsequent conversation between the two mainly revolved around Huang Bo's studio.
Huang Bo's studio is not so much a personal studio, but actually has the prototype of a brokerage company.
Xue Zhimin, who was the first to sign a contract, is now having a prosperous career as a singer. After all, a lot of resources were invested in him last year.
In addition, Huang Bo also personally signed several potential actors.
There is one person that Lu Heng is familiar with, and that is actor Wang Xun from Sichuan.
But it's only limited to familiarity.
Lu Heng fully supported Huang Bo's decision.
He could see that Huang Bo was a very loyal person, and he seemed to be honest and honest, but he was actually very smart in doing things.
From these points of view, it is worth making friends.
The two of them chatted until the food on the table was finished and the wine was finished, and then they went home separately.
When Huang Bo returned to the hotel, he did not go to bed immediately, but dialed Chen Zhixi's number.
"Hey, Brother Bo, are you okay?"
Huang Bo calmed down and asked, "How was your contact with the light and shadow when you went back today?"
"I talked with the company, and they were very doubtful about whether I could bring in Lu Heng as an investor. However, the company did feel that Xu Zheng's remuneration was too high and wanted to reduce it."
Huang Bo asked in surprise: "Doubt? What does suspicion mean?"
Chen Zhixi's wry smile came over, "The boss of the company said that Lu Heng is all about big investments worth hundreds of millions, so who would be interested in having a little fight with us? I'm afraid that I've been busy for a long time in the past, but it's all in vain, so let me find someone else."
Investor. Brother Bo, let me tell you the truth. If it weren’t for you, it would be difficult for me to get involved with Lu Heng. But I chatted with him for so long today, and I don’t think he has much investment intention. This makes
I’m also very unsure!”
Huang Bo was unusually silent.
He did not expect such a situation to arise. It was not that he had any objections to Lu Heng's requirements, but that he suspected that Lu Heng was teasing Chen Zhixi.
However, the silence only lasted for a while, and Huang Bo quickly thought of a way to dispel the other party's doubts.
"Lu Heng is indeed interested in investing, but I just want to see if you can offer good conditions. I just had a chat with Lu Heng while having dinner, and he wanted to place advertisements in the film "Thailand". You see, since
If he has this kind of intention, it means that he is not just joking."
"Placement advertising? What advertising?"
"Didi Taxi, a newly launched online taxi-hailing software." Huang Bo said quickly. After coming back, he checked the relevant news and found that such a software did exist.
It's just that I usually have a special car to pick me up when I travel, so I haven't paid much attention to it.
Speaking of this, Huang Bo suddenly remembered what Lu Heng said to him before, which gave him enough face.
So Huang Bo came up with an idea, why not help Lu Heng get more benefits?
"Oh, and also, Ele.me, you know! This is also Lu Heng's industry. If possible, we will also plant an Ele.me advertisement for him in the film."
On the other end of the phone, Chen Zhixi hesitated and said: "Do the two advertisements have a little impact on the movie-watching experience?"
Huang Bo said firmly: "This is a matter for the future. The top priority is, shouldn't you stabilize Lu Heng first? If you really agree to these two advertising placements, I believe that Lu Heng will definitely be willing to invest in you!"
"According to what you said, it seems that he is really not perfunctory with me. In that case, I will go and have a good chat with the company!"
After hanging up the phone, Huang Bo breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Heng was willing to discuss investment with Chen Zhixi because it gave him enough face.
Once the investment intention is achieved, it will be equivalent to Lu Heng's investment being brought in by himself, and he will also have a higher say in the crew.
This is definitely a good thing for me who only has one Golden Horse Best Actor title but is not very successful at the box office.
Lu Heng had given him such great help, so he must reciprocate the favor. Even if he borrowed a flower to offer to Buddha, the flower must be bright enough!
A few days later, Huang Bo had already left, but Chen Zhixi returned to Chongqing again, and she was no longer alone.
She brought the relevant professional team!
Lu Heng did not leave them alone, and soon began to negotiate about Taijiao's investment.
The signing of the investment contract was also completed on the same day, very neatly and without any delay.
Lu Heng was not too worried, but Chen Zhixi wanted to finish it early to prevent Lu Heng from running away again.
Lu Heng was very satisfied with the final conditions. No matter how you looked at it, he gained a lot of benefits.
The investment of 40 million yuan received a full 50% investment dividend share.
Although the cost was 60 million, Lu Heng invested 40 million alone, which was close to 60%. It seemed that the 50% dividend was relatively small, but Lu Heng knew that he had not been cheated.
He took the time to find someone to understand the operation of the film industry.
The parties involved include radio and television, the national taxation department, major theater chains, and very important producers and distributors.
In comparison, the so-called directors, actors, and filming crew can only be regarded as small heads.
Of his 50% dividend, 5% was deducted from Xu Zheng's share and given to him.
In addition, two product placement ads for Didi Taxi and Ele.me were also added to the contract.
Not only that, as the largest investor, he even has the right to advise one or two major supporting actors.
In other words, if he wants to stuff a few actors in and use the back door, that's not impossible.
Lu Heng didn't have any ideas about this kind of operation. Not to mention that Taijiao was a triangle drama between the three brothers Xu Zheng, Huang Bo, and Wang Baoqiang. The fact that there were only a few actors that Lu Heng was familiar with dispelled his idea.
He is not a playboy, and he has cast a wide net in the entertainment industry, so there is no need to do such a controversial thing.
After being busy investing in movies, Lu Heng did not stop at all.
There are still a lot of things on his desk.
Among them, there are not a few that are extremely important.
For example, if an invitation is placed on his desk now, he must take it seriously.
"Chairman of GAC Group invites Hengcheng Group for friendly business exchanges!"
Lu Heng touched his chin, and his mind instantly thought of the old man he met a few months ago.
"It's Zhang Wanyou who awarded me the award! GAC invited Hengcheng to visit and exchange. Although it is quite unexpected, it makes sense. But does this senior specially invite me by name to come in person? Does he have any special purpose?
