Chapter 2327 Small investment, high box office?
Li Fan smiled and said, "What can make Mr. Haoketo a headache?"
Hao Ketto said: "That's right, Mr. Li Fan. A week ago, I attended a Hollywood movie exchange meeting. It was just a small exchange meeting, but there were many directors, actors, and film investors present, and even reporters were there.
At the exchange meeting, everyone talked about the topic of "making big with small profits". It was to use small-cost investments to exchange for a good box office.
One of my old rivals, Darryl, said, 'If there is a movie that has an investment of less than 1 million meters, is it possible to earn a box office of more than 20 million meters?'
I said, ‘Of course it is possible, and movies with low cost may also have a market.’
Darryl said, 'I don't think it's possible. It's already very good to invest in movies under 1 million meters to make a final box office return. The ideal situation is just to make a small profit, hundreds of thousands of meters or 1 million meters. It's absolutely impossible to earn more than 20 million yuan.'
Darryl is my old competitor, and my relationship with him is not very pleasant. After hearing what he said, I argued with him.
After a while of argument, he said, 'Haoket, since you are so sure about this, we might as well make a bet. You invest in a movie with a budget of less than 1 million meters and then exchange it for a box office of more than 20 million meters. If you do it, you will win. If you can't do it, you will lose. How about we bet on 1 million meters?'
After hearing this, I took it off with impulse and started the bet with Daryl.
Then, when I calmed down, I found that it was really difficult and almost impossible. There are many movies with a budget of less than 1 million meters, and I could invest in such movies at any time. But the box office
I have to admit that Daryl was right, it would be very good to be able to make money in the end. It is almost impossible to have a box office of more than 20 million yuan.
But since the bet has taken effect, I don’t want to lose to Daryl. The bet of 1 million meter is a trivial matter, but many directors, actors, film investors, and reporters were present at that time. Now this matter has spread in the United States, and I don’t want to lose.
So, I took the initiative to publicly state that who has a movie with a budget of less than 1 million meters? Show it to me, and if it is appropriate, I will invest.
In a few days, I received dozens of movie plans with a budget of less than 1 million, some of which looked pretty good, but I was really not optimistic about the final box office.
After thinking about it, I can only come to trouble Mr. Li Fan for this matter.”
"So that's how it is." After hearing Haoketo say it, Li Fan smiled and said, "Mr. Haoketo means, I hope I will publish a movie with a budget of less than 1 million meters, and then invest in it?"
Hao Ketto said: "That's true. Only Mr. Li Fan's movie can do this. Of course, this time the investment is different from the past. This time I don't distinguish between the box office and just ask Mr. Li Fan to let me invest."
Li Fan said: "It doesn't matter whether the box office is divided or not. What's important is that I have no plans to launch a movie recently. Besides, Mr. Haoketto, if an investment of less than 1 million meters is exchanged for a box office of more than 20 million meters, it is really difficult. Not to mention other things, 1 million meters is probably not enough to hire actors. Unless you invite some small star actors from fourth and fifth tiers. Actors from third tiers should not think about it."
Haoketo sighed: "That's true. If a first- and second-tier superstar actor, relying on his own popularity, he might still be able to increase a part of the box office, and it is still possible to have a few million. If a small star actor..."
Li Fan said: "So, it's difficult! It's difficult!"
Hao Ketto said: "It's really difficult, so the only one who can do such a thing is Mr. Li Fan. I also asked Mr. Li Fan to take action. As for the remuneration, no matter what remuneration Mr. Li Fan needs, as long as it is within my ability, I will agree."
Li Fan smiled. He could see that Haoketo was sincere. But he didn't need any generous rewards. Haoketo was very rich, worth at least hundreds of millions of meters.
But this little money is nothing to Li Fan. Even if Hao Ketuo uses all his worth to pay, Li Fan may not be able to like it.
However, Li Fan did not directly reject Hao Ketto, but recalled in his heart that among the classic movies in his previous life, was there such a movie?
If anything, he wouldn't mind helping Haoket.
First, because he had a good impression of Haoket. Second, he was somewhat interested in this matter.
After thinking about this, Li Fan really thought of a movie with a good reputation in his previous life. It had little investment but good box office results.
If you bring it to this world, there should be no problem with the box office of 20 million meters.
After thinking about it, Li Fan said: "Mr. Haoketto, I can create such a movie. If the actors' pay is lower, the investment will not be 1 million meters. However, directors, actors, crews need Haoket to find them first. Of course, during the filming process, I can properly check them."
Hao Ketuo was overjoyed after hearing this. In his opinion, if there was a person in this world who could win this bet, that person must be Li Fan.
Now, Li Fan agreed. He was so excited that he couldn't help himself. He kept saying: "Thanks to Mr. Li Fan for taking action. This time, all the box office revenue belongs to Mr. Li Fan, and I don't have to get back the investment cost. In addition, you can just talk about the rewards Mr. Li Fan needs, as long as it is within my ability, I will definitely be satisfied."
Li Fan waved his hand and said, "Mr. Haoketto is serious. I don't need extra compensation. If the box office is available, I will give Mr. Haoketto 10 points. There should be no problem with the task when getting the cost back."
"Mr. Li Fan, this... this..." Hao Ketuo felt that this was not appropriate. Li Fan agreed to take action, and he was already very grateful. How could he still share the box office?
Li Fan said: "It's settled. Mr. Haoketo will live in the village today, and I can give you the script tomorrow morning. What will Mr. Haoketo arrange will be casual."
Hao Ketuo hurriedly said: "Okay, OK, I'm so grateful, thank you Mr. Li Fan."
Li Fan smiled and signaled that Hao Ketuo would not have to do this, and then continued to accompany Hao Ketuo to visit the farm.
When it was getting late, Hao Ketto was invited to have supper in Xianyuan Building and arranged the room.
Then he returned home and spent half an hour writing the script.
This is a very simple but heavy story. I hope it can achieve a good box office.
