Chapter 179 The Price of the Second Movie(1/2)
"Didi!"
Not long after the call with Kong Xu ended, Lu Zhiyuan called.
Xiao Fan could think of it with his toes, and Lu Zhiyuan's phone call should be about the movie.
"Mr. Lu, congratulations, Legend of the Spirit World has made a huge profit. I see that the stock price of Xinghan Group has risen a lot."
Xiao Fan spoke first.
On the other end of the phone, Lu Zhiyuan's mouth twitched. What a good boy, the second uncle actually called him Mr. Lu instead of calling him. This was because he wanted to take care of business matters.
"I thought you didn't know, but I didn't expect you already knew. The Legend of Ghost World has been released, and fans are looking forward to the release of Legend of Ghost World 2."
"Can you urge me?"
Xiao Fan said with a smile: "Legend of the Spirit World 2 has been produced. I have already seen it. The overall quality is better than the first one."
Lu Zhiyuan's breathing became much faster.
Normally a movie would have little impact on the entire Xinghan Group, but movies like Legend of the Spirit World with a box office of several billion are exceptions.
"Xiao Fan, if there is still the same quality, we, Starlight Entertainment, want it for 1.5 billion."
Xiao Fan curled his lips and said, "Mr. Lu, what are you thinking about? Legend of the Spirit World 1 has a total box office of 6.2 billion. Normally, the producer can get about 2.4 billion."
Lu Zhiyuan coughed lightly: "Publicity expenses are usually deducted first, so there are not so many. Besides, there are risks in buying out directly."
"Yeah?"
"Legend of the Soul World 1 is so popular, why does Legend of the Soul World 2 need a lot of publicity expenses? Besides, there must be companies willing to bear this cost."
"As for the risks... I don't think there are any risks."
Xiao Fan had no intention of giving in.
Even though Lu Zhiyuan is Su Youwei's second uncle, business is business.
"Normally, you can get 2.4 billion. Considering the benefits of the movie to your company, Mr. Lu, is it okay for you to acquire it at a premium?"
Lu Zhiyuan: "..."
When the good guy talked before, he thought Xiao Fan was pretty easy to talk to. Although the price of one billion was high, considering the quality of the movie, it was worth it.
Why don't you say nice things this time?
"How much do you want?"
Lu Zhiyuan took a deep breath and said.
Xiao Fan smiled: "Mr. Lu, let's give you a fixed price of three billion."
"impossible."
"You are talking like a lion."
Lu Zhiyuan quickly refused.
Xiao Fan said calmly: "Mr. Lu, the box office of Legend of the Spirit World 2 is very likely to be higher. Even if it is just the same, your profit will not be small."
"This does not include the impact on your company's stock price."
"If you can't offer 3 billion, I will invite all major issuers to bid together. I believe that some other companies will definitely be able to offer this price."
Lu Zhiyuan rolled his eyes secretly.
"Mr. Lu, you have to be considerate. I don't have a big business like your Lu family. I have a girlfriend now, and I have to start a family and support my wife in the future."
Lu Zhiyuan pondered, judging from Xiao Fan's asking price, Xiao Fan is very confident about Legend of the Spirit World 2, and it should be impossible to lower the box office.
"Xiao Fan, the CEO of Starlight Entertainment and I came over to see the finished film."
Lu Zhiyuan said.
When such a high amount of money is involved, he cannot make the decision on his own, and Starlight Entertainment is not his company alone.
"Don't bother me, I'll just send the movie to you."
"After reading it, if you think it works, I'll find another company if it doesn't work."
Xiao Fan was not afraid at all of Lu Zhiyuan and the others' mischief.
Lu Baichuan and the others are going to give Su Youwei 5% of the equity of Xinghan Group, so they won't bother with this at all.
"also."
Lu Zhiyuan agreed.
Running around is indeed troublesome, and Xiao Fan is still in the warehouse.
Soon Xiao Fan sent a file of several gigabytes to Lu Zhiyuan.
This is not the original HD version of the movie.
Three hours later, Lu Zhiyuan and Huang Kai watched a piece of the movie.
"Mr. Lu, we must get this movie."
"must!"
"Its quality is slightly higher than the first one, and the box office will definitely be higher."
Huang Kai was extremely excited. The first film made them a lot of money.
"Three billion."
Lu Zhiyuan frowned.
"Um?"
Huang Kai was stunned.
Lu Zhiyuan told Huang Kai about his conversation with Xiao Fan: "Xiao Fan is very determined. If the price falls below 3 billion, he will look for other companies."
"If other companies are not willing, he will probably issue it himself."
Huang Kai grabbed his hair.
If it is less than 2 billion or even 2.5 billion, he feels that he can directly agree without thinking about it. The price of 3 billion is really a bit high.
"Director Huang, do you think any other company will agree to this price?"
Huang Kai thought about it for a while and nodded: "Nine times out of ten, there will be. The movie alone shouldn't be a loss, not to mention there are other potential benefits."
"We can also build a good relationship with Miracle Special Effects Studio."
Lu Zhiyuan was stunned, but he ignored this.
It was Xiao Fan who brought out the things, but if they didn't agree this time, could Xiao Fan still let them have priority in the future?
"Mr. Lu, let's watch it again?"
"good."
Lu Zhiyuan nodded.
It took them two hours to watch the movie again. After watching it the second time, they had new insights and discovered something new.
"Mr. Lu, let's agree."
"There should be a lot of people watching this movie twice and three times. Its box office is definitely not that low. Even if we lose money, we won't lose much."
Huang Kai gritted his teeth and said.
Lu Zhiyuan nodded: "Since you have no objection, let's buy it. We may regret it if our competitors buy it."
Huang Kai said solemnly: "Mr. Lu, I will go over tomorrow to sign the contract. While the popularity of the first part is still there, we will release it as soon as possible."
"Um."
…
In another world, Xiao Hai woke up from his coma.
He was in a coma for two days and two nights.
The day before yesterday, he was jointly attacked by several strong men in the wild, including the royal ancestor of the Shenyan Empire and the national master Pang Qing.
There are also two masters from other countries.
One of the two masters is still at the level of Emperor Martial Perfection, and the other is also at the peak level of Emperor Martial.
The strength of the four of them, Pang Qing, can all be ranked among the top fifteen in Shenwu Continent.
Encountering their attack, Xiao Hai escaped back to Shengyuan City only after narrowly escaping death. www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm
After coming back, he fell into a coma.
"Cough, cough!"
Xiao Hai coughed and some blood came out of his mouth.
"Commander, you're awake."
Several of Xiao Hai's cronies outside the house quickly came to the room.
