Chapter 75 The Funder’s Dad (please read more)

Today is only August 1st. With Wang Yi's investment, a small-budget movie like "Love Is Not Blind" can be completed and edited in late August.
It will be announced in early September and the release date will be set.
It opens in mid-September and runs until mid-October.
Although there is no bonus from Singles’ Day, there is traffic from the National Day Golden Week!
Not only will the box office not be reduced, but it may actually sell better!
After all, "Thirty-day Love" is strong enough. It will be released in mid-September. It may even be able to crush the National Day movies!
Wang Yi remembers that during the National Day release in 2011, "Painted Skin" sold well, but it was not as good as "Love Is Not Blind"!
After thinking about this, Wang Yi returned to his office and dialed An Ke's phone number.
Soon the other party got through, his words full of excitement:
"Boss Wang, I have received all the costumes. The director is very satisfied. Thank you very much."
"You're welcome, we are all friends." Wang Yixiao said, "How is the filming of your movie going?"
"Part of it has been filmed, but the overall progress is still a bit slow. Alas, love movies are not popular these days, and no one is willing to invest."
"The producer paid 1 million, the director paid 1 million out of his own pocket, and another 2 million was raised as an investment, but it's still not enough!"
An Ke sighed: "No, while we are filming, we are looking for investors to invest at the same time. The progress is slow. It is estimated that it will not be released until November!"
Sure enough, the crew was short of money!
No wonder it’s just a low-budget movie worth 9 million!
It’s not that the producers and directors don’t want to make bigger changes, it’s that no one wants to invest!
These days, nine out of ten romance movies are not favored by capital.
"Four million to make a movie? Just the actors' salary is not enough, right?"
Wang Yi smiled. As he expected, the crew was poor!
"Yeah, it's not enough. The crew is very poor now. I, the assistant director of Fu Huadao, don't even know if I can get my salary! I'm worried to death. It would be great if someone invested in it!"
An Ke sighed repeatedly: "I envy those rich crews who invest tens of millions at every turn!"
"It's easy to say you're short of investment, I'll give it to you!" Wang Yi said with a smile, isn't this a coincidence?
"You vote? Really?" An Ke's eyebrows were filled with joy, and then he shook his head:
"Stop teasing me, Boss Wang, you have just started a business and you are short of money."
"That was before. Yesterday, our Meiyou Pure Desire Style was officially launched, and the sales were pretty good. We sold 10 million in 12 hours!"
Wang Yi is not low-key at all.
As for An Ke spreading the word and letting the crew and stars know about it?
That's great!
Only by being noticed by celebrities can Meiyou become famous in the entertainment industry, which will facilitate subsequent cooperation and promotion.
Celebrities are human beings too and they also like to gossip.
"What? Twelve hours, sold 10 million!"
An Ke spoke in shock, her voice becoming much louder, and the staff nearby looked over.
Even the director and several leading actors couldn't help but look at it!
Ten years from now, 10 million may not be anything.
The salary of an A-list star can range from tens of millions to tens of millions.
But in 2011, the salary of A-list stars was only one million. Ten million is definitely a huge sum of money!
I want a salary worth tens of millions, an international award such as the International Chapter, and a star in Hollywood who is so popular!
Therefore, the total cost of "Thirty-day Love" is 9 million, and it can hire many second- and third-tier stars!
"Yes, it sold for 10 million yesterday, but today it's a lot lower. I guess it can only sell for 8 or 9 million!"
Wang Yi sighed, with a very disappointed tone.
"Eight to nine million a day, and you still call me Young Master? Boss Wang, you are crazy!"
An Ke was speechless: "We have a budget of 8 to 9 million to shoot this movie, so it will be very expensive! Alas!"
At this time, the director came over with a bad look on his face:
"An Ke, please go out and make the call. Don't affect the crew's filming!"
"Director, someone wants to invest!" An Ke said with a smile.
"What? Investment!" The director was overjoyed and his face changed instantly: "You can fight here, fight as long as you want!"
"Will it affect the crew's filming?" An Ke said with a smile.
"No, absolutely not! How could it affect it? It's obviously an incentive! Yes, it makes us more motivated! Isn't it?" The director looked around.
"Yes!" everyone said in unison.
Even the leading actors nodded their heads.
Their salary is only a few hundred thousand.
"Haha, the director's path has been broadened!" Wang Yi was amused.
An Ke changed the topic: "Boss Wang, you've heard it all. Don't refuse to vote. If you don't vote, I'm done. The director can tear me apart!"
Director Du Tianhua's expression changed slightly, and he quickly retorted: "Don't talk nonsense, I have such a good temper, how could I do such a thing?"
Guard the investors, father of the funder, what the hell are you talking about?
Wang Yi smiled: "Okay, give your phone to the director and I'll talk to him!"
"good!"
Du Tianhua answered the phone:
"Hello, Boss Wang, I am Du Tianhua, the director of "Love Is Not Blind"."
"Hello, I am Wang Yi, CEO of Meiyou Technology."
After a few polite words, Wang Yi got straight to the point:
"Because of An Ke's friendship and the fact that we, Meiyou, also need a wave of marketing placement and promotion, I am willing to invest in your movie."
"Marketing placement is no problem, thank you! Thank you!"
Du Tianhua was so excited that he offered help in times of need, what a good man!
"How much money is missing?"
Du Tianhua thought for a while: "Five million, no, four million will do!"
Wang Yi did not respond directly:
"Listen to An Ke, you already have four million, and giving you another four million, which is eight million, is probably not enough."
"In this case, I will give you five million, but there is one request. The filming should be completed as soon as possible, with pomelo implants, and it will be released in mid-September! Is that okay?"
"Five million? Mid-September!" Du Tianhua was excited:
"No problem! Today is only August 1st, and part of the filming has already been completed. With the funds in place, it will be completed in half a month, and it will be released in September."
For this kind of investment, the sooner it is released, the sooner the money is recovered, and no one will object.
As for ad placement?
They have invested five million, accounting for more than half of the total investment. Dad, the proper sponsor, what happened to the main implant?
Don't talk about implantation, send an actress to take care of it...it's all normal!
No one is more familiar with the treatment of the sponsor’s father than the director.
"Okay, I voted for this movie, and the box office share..." Wang Yi said halfway, this is the point.
In the previous life, "Thirty-day Love" was the dark horse of the year, earning 350 million at the box office.
The producers can get about 35%, which is 122.5 million.
Wang Yi invested 5 million, accounting for 55.56% of the total investment, and the profit share is probably 60 to 70 million!
In a few months, 5 million has turned into 60 million, which is definitely a bargain!
What's more, it can promote Meiyou and bring tens of millions of revenue to Meiyou!
Don’t miss it!
"Don't worry, Boss Wang, the box office share will be divided strictly according to the investment ratio! As long as the box office sells well, you will invest the most and you will get the most share."
Du Tianhua felt guilty when he said this.
These days, no one is optimistic about this kind of subject, and he himself lacks confidence.
According to his estimate, an investment of 9 million would require at least 27 million in box office to recover the capital.
It would be great if it could sell for an extra 20 million.
As for the box office success? It’s all about fooling investors!
But Wang Yi readily agreed: "In this case, you are ready to sign the contract. Tomorrow afternoon, I will go to the Imperial Capital to sign the contract, and the funds will be received on the same day!"
