Chapter 22 Times Film Company (Part 2)

"Oh my God, how can you be like this? How can you become an immortal in half a step? My idol... is gone..." Wang Jing jumped and screamed in a sharp voice. It seemed that something extremely miserable happened to him.
Lin Wei looked at Wang Jing in amazement, not understanding why this fat man suddenly became enraged. Wang Jing screamed for a while, suddenly stopped and sat back on the sofa, staring at Lin Wei with serious eyes. Lin Wei felt a little embarrassed by his eyes and asked, "Director Wang, is there any flowers on my face?"
"I don't know if your face has flowers," Wang Jing said with a serious face: "But I know that you must be God's illegitimate child. Otherwise, how could you write the Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty and how could you write thousands of songs? So, I want to study now whether you have wings and whether you are an angel. This question is very important, and it is related to the happiness of millions of people in Xiangjiang. I honestly explain how you came to the world..."
"Stop, I'm Lao Wang, am I a illegitimate child of God? This question does not have anything to do with the people of Xiangjiang, but it has something to do with you, so just think I am a illegitimate child of God and follow me to make a movie." Lin Wei knew that Wang Jing was very funny, but he didn't expect that his character was so funny, so he didn't get polite to him and called Lao Wang directly.
After reading the script of "Brothers in Desperate", Wang Jing's face changed from seriousness to vulgarity, and said with a smile: "Boss Lin, you also know that I am very busy now. If you ask me to help you make a movie, what are the benefits of me?"
"What benefits do you want? Tell me, Lao Wang, let's discuss it." Lin Wei said with a smile on his face.
Wang Jing nodded and replied seriously: "I really believe that you are the one who has become an immortal in the half-step. You are a child. There is an old heart hidden in your body. I don't say anything that is useless with you. You have three choices. First, ask me to be the director of this movie. The director fee is 300,000 yuan. I don't make it randomly. You can go and ask if I am in this market. The second choice is that you don't pay the director fee, but after the movie is released, I want 10% of the box office revenue. The third choice is that I invest in your film company with the director fee of this movie."
"The second choice... Haha, Lao Wang, you don't have to think about it. If you didn't shoot this movie randomly, then I can guarantee that its box office will be more than 15 million. But if I choose the first one, you will definitely feel at a disadvantage afterwards, which will affect our friendship. So, Lao Wang, let's choose the third one. How about letting you invest in my Times Film Company?" Lin Wei said with a smile. In fact, under normal circumstances, Lin Wei is the most disadvantageous choice. However, Lin Wei thinks that Wang Jing is a talent, and pulling him into Times Film Company is more beneficial to the company's future development.
"What is the registered capital of your film company?" Wang Jing asked.
"My film company currently has 1.2 million yuan, I account for 75% of the shares, another shareholder accounts for 10% of the shares, and another 15% is dividend shares for talents who join the company in the future. If you invest, I have to discuss with another shareholder. As for how many shares can you give you, my opinion is that I will give you a director fee of 300,000 yuan, and another 3% of the company's shares."
Lin Wei's words made Wang Jing shook his head and said, "Little brother, business is not what you do. I don't know why you are so confident in your script, but it's not my business. I said I would ask for a director fee of 300,000. Since you are willing to give it, why should I give me three percent of the company shares? If you do business like this, wouldn't you lose yourself to the end?"
"Haha... I won't lose money, Lao Wang, don't forget, I'm a half-step immortal, not a fool, I'm very confident in my script, and my film company also needs talents like you, and I won't be stingy with talents." Lin Wei smiled.
"Who is the other shareholder of the company?" Wang Jing suddenly asked,
"It's Liu Bingjin from Dingsheng Records." Lin Wei was a little confused about Wang Jing's sudden question.
Wang Jing narrowed her eyes and smiled: "I know Liu Bingjin, yes, you have become an immortal in half a step. The idea of the story is what you do. Since you are so easy to talk to, I'm not polite. I want more. I don't want the director fee of 300,000 yuan. I'll invest another 200,000 yuan. I want 15% of the film company's shares. Is it okay?"
"You're so optimistic about this film company?" Lin Wei looked at Wang Jing with some confusion.
"To be precise, I am optimistic about you and me. We are both. Your script is very good. With my talent for director, this movie may not reach the 15 million you said, but it is still possible to have seven or eight million. And I roughly estimate the investment of it. It should not exceed one million." Wang Jing explained with a smile. In fact, there is another reason that Wang Jing did not say that if the company adds him, there are only three shareholders. Liu Bingjin is a recorder, Lin Wei is a novel script, and the director is Wang Jing. If he becomes a shareholder of this film company, then he will not have to worry about not having movies in the future. Can the novel script and recorder compete with him for the position of director?
Although Lin Wei, the film company, has a big share of the director's income in the future. In the long run, he has taken a big advantage. Wang Jing thought about it and felt that this method was actually the most beneficial to him.
Lin Wei thought about it and these conditions were acceptable, but Lin Wei did not immediately reply to Wang Jing. He came to Dingsheng Records with Wang Jing and called Liu Bingjin over. Liu Bingjin was naturally not as easy to talk to Wang Jing. At this time, Wang Jing was just a director with a little reputation. The final result of the negotiation was that Wang Jing did not need to invest, but had to shoot fifteen movies for the company for free. Wang Jing accounted for 15% of the company's shares, Lin Wei continued to be 75% of the shares, and Liu Bingjin also continued to be 10% of the shares.
Lin Wei was very surprised about the result of the negotiation. How could Wang Jing agree to this result? After coming out of the record company, Lin Wei asked curiously: "Lao Wang, how could you agree to this condition?"
"Hehe, Xiaowei, you can't learn mathematics well, right? This is not enough? If I invested 200,000 yuan and added the director fee of the first movie to account for 15%, you really suffered a loss, because my 200,000 yuan is optional for the film company, and I will take up 15% of the dividends of the company in the future and have a director fee. This is a disadvantage. I guess only you will agree to this condition, and the condition proposed by Liu Bingjin is also still
It's a profit, but you are not at a loss either. You can calculate it. Based on the box office of the movie "Brother Hardship" we have a budget of 7 million. We don't have theaters. In the end, the company can get about 3 million, and the cost is one million. If there is a profit of 2 million, 15%, I can get 300,000. This is from Xiangjiang, and the box office in other places is even more important. If it's Xiaowei, you expect 15 million, then I'll make a lot of money, hehe..." Wang Jing explained with a proud expression.
Lin Wei slapped his forehead. He thought about how awesome Wang Jing would be in the future, but he never thought that he was not awesome now. Based on Wang Jing’s current value, Wang Jing is indeed taking a big advantage. If Wang Jing is in the future, you can ask him for 15% of the shares. Don’t even think about it.
When Wang Jing saw Lin Wei patting his forehead, he became even more proud and patted Lin Wei on the shoulder: "Hehe... I said Xiao Wei, with your math level, don't do business, just write your novels and scripts honestly."
Lin Wei's mouth twitched a few times, thinking to himself, it's hard to say who takes advantage of whom. Lao Wang, just don't think he's at a disadvantage in the future. The two of them chatted for a few words and separated on the street outside the record company.
Lin Wei raised 800,000 yuan in funds, and Liu Bingjin successfully obtained 200,000 yuan in funds, and then borrowed 200,000 yuan from Dingsheng Records. Times Film Company was quietly established. The company's office was rented in the same office building of Dingsheng Records, and then purchased equipment for filming. Wang Jing was very experienced, but after buying the good equipment, it cost more than 900,000 yuan, which was much more than Lin Wei expected. Wang Jing was very loyal and borrowed 200,000 yuan in private to the film company. Of course, Dingsheng Records now also borrowed this amount of funds.
Afterwards, the preparations for the filming of "Brothers and Brothers" began. The heroine Aju is Lizhi, the hero Wu Zhi is Leslie Cheung, and he is still missing a actor of the hero Shi Gou Gong. Lin Wei thought of Andy Lau. At this time, Andy Lau had not graduated from the wireless artist training class, and he had to wait until next year to become famous. Therefore, his appearance fee was not high at this time.
Wang Jing's father Wang Tianlin is an important figure in the TVB, and that general under the command of Daheng Shao, so Wang Jing naturally took care of the matter of looking for Andy Lau. However, Lin Wei has been to Xiangjiang for so long and has never been to TVB before. This time, he naturally followed Wang Jing to take a look.
