113 [Borrowing chickens to lay eggs]

The Xiang brothers quickly finished the script of "The Legend of Wesley". "After reading the book, they were very satisfied with the story. There were adventures, actions, scenes, beauties, special effects, mysterious treasures, and weird aliens, which were a bit similar to the American blockbuster "Raiders of the Lottery Ark".

"The story is really good. I just read this script, I have to go to Egypt, Nepal, and use so many special effects. I'm afraid the cost will not be less." Xiang Huasheng said hesitantly.

If this movie "The Legend of Wesley" is filmed according to the script, it will probably cost more than 70 million Hong Kong dollars. Such a large investment made him hesitate. After all, the company has just been established for a short time, so it is more appropriate to make steady progress at present.

Xiang Huaqiang also nodded and agreed with Thirteenth brother's statement. It is time to be cautious with such a large investment. Otherwise, if you lose money, it would be bad.

Xia Tian smiled slightly, "I would like to ask Mr. Xiang, are you just trying to make some money by using the east wind, or are you planning to grow and become a leader like Jiahe and Xinyi City?"

When the Xiang brothers heard his question, they immediately hesitated.

In fact, the reason why their brothers entered the film and television industry is mainly because after the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption in recent years, the police force has changed. Their old Yi'an tree attracted a lot of wind and was also severely hit, so they had to find another way out and plan to whitewash them.

Because Xiang Huaqiang had made movies before, worked as an action star, and opened a film company, he was familiar with it. He also saw that the Hong Kong film market is very popular now, so he pulled Thirteenth brother to open Yongsheng Film Company.

For them, making money is of course the first priority, but it would be better if they can take the opportunity to grow and become a big company like Jiahe and Xinyi City.

In this way, they can successfully clean up and get a legitimate property. Even if they are investigated by the police in the future, they will have no choice but to do anything to them.

"Making money is of course the most important thing, but if it can grow stronger, it would be better." Xiang Huasheng said with a smile after considering it.

"Okay." Xia Tian nodded, "Mr. Xiang, please listen to my careful analysis. No film company can grow stronger by relying on a small cost movie."

"Why did New Art City pay 8 million Hong Kong dollars to film "Best Partner"? It also makes money when it continues to film its low-cost comedy films."

"Why did Jiahe invest tens of millions of dollars to film "Sky" in Hollywood? With this money, it can make seven or eight action movies in Hong Kong, and it still makes a lot of money."

"Why?" Seeing him asking this, the Xiang brothers couldn't think of the reason. They couldn't help but ask Xia Tiandao.

"Because filming blockbusters shows their enterprising spirit. If you want to expand your company, it is impossible to do without enterprising spirit. If you are a little rich, you will be at ease and don't want to make progress, how can the company grow?" Xia Tian asked.

"Besides, investing in blockbusters can also demonstrate the company's strong strength, set off the company's signature, and let the industry know that you are a real big company, not a bag company, so that everyone can be confident in you. Those talents are naturally willing to join you."

"Finally, investing in blockbusters can help train talents. Directors, photography, actors, lighting, stunts, special effects, etc. After the experience of blockbusters, these people are like soldiers tempered by artillery fire, and they are all valuable assets. With the joining of these elite talents, are you still worried that your company will not grow? "

After listening to Xia Tian’s analysis, the Xiang brothers were silent for a long time, and then nodded, "A Tian, ​​what you said makes sense, just do that."

Xia Tian smiled. "I originally thought that if you don't want to invest, then leave it to me and start this project by myself after I make enough money."

"Anyway, you have many projects, so give it to us." Xiang Huasheng smiled. "However, Ah Tian, ​​I think this drama is directed by you, so we are more confident. If you think about it, you might as well put it forward and talk about it. We two brothers are also very sincere."

Xiang Huaqiang also nodded. "Yes, if you think 30% of the box office is still low, 40% or 50% are not unconsiderable." He advised again.

Even if the Hong Kong local box office is given to Xia Tian, ​​their brothers can make a lot of money by relying on the overseas box office alone. The key is that talents are rare, and talents like Xia Tian who earn more than 50 million with more than 3 million are even more rare.

After hearing what they said, Xia Tian couldn't help but feel a little moved. 50% of the box office is equivalent to giving up all the Hong Kong local box office to himself. If a movie has a box office of 20 million, he can get 10 million Hong Kong dollars. And helping them make movies, he only works as a director, and does not need to be asked about other things. It is easy and reliable for drought and flood. It is indeed a good thing.

But then I thought about it, Xia Tian gave up this idea again. Helping others film movies is indeed a guaranteed harvest, but I cannot get training. How can I see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain?! I always hide under the wings of others and I can't fly high at all.

Besides, although 10 million sounds like a lot, if it is a movie he made and if it has a local box office of 20 million, he can earn at least 30 million.

"Thank you, Mr. Xiang, for your kindness, but forget it.? Read the book?" Xia Tian waved his hand and said, "It's not that I don't want to cooperate with you. It's really because I have movies to shoot recently and I can't get along with them at all."

"You are going to make a movie recently? Which company do you want to help with?" Xiang Huasheng asked quickly. He wanted to know who took the lead and actually grabbed Xia Tian."

"If you don't help with any company, you're filming it for me." Xia Tian waved his hand and explained, "I'm the boss of this drama."

"So that's it, it's a wonder." The Xiang brothers suddenly realized that no wonder Xia Tian didn't accept the invitation. It turned out that he had already made up his mind to become independent. But it was better that this was not a good deal, but it was finally no one else's advantage.

"A Tian, ​​what movie do you want to shoot? Do you have enough funds? Do you need us to invest?" Xiang Huasheng asked with a smile again.

In summer, if you are the boss and make movies, you will definitely not lose money and the box office is guaranteed. If that is the case, if you don’t take the opportunity to mix it up, wouldn’t you missed the opportunity to make money in vain?

Xia Tian was stunned and then smiled. Of course, it would be better if someone invested, so why don’t the money delivered to him? In his previous life, he drank with investors until he vomited blood and almost lost half of his life. Now that he has money automatically comes to him, it is of course a good thing for him.

"If Mr. Xiang is willing to invest, of course it's good, and the welcome is over." Xia Tian smiled, not worried that Xiang Huasheng would share his profits.

Because this account is calculated like this. If he invests in the movie himself, he can only use the funds he has now to shoot one movie and wait for the funds to be recovered before opening another movie. In this way, all the precious time is delayed, and he may only be able to shoot two or three movies a year. Even if he accounts for all the box office, he will only have the profit of two or three movies.

If you use the funds of the Xiang brothers, you don’t have to worry about shortage of funds. You can make ten movies a year. Even if you divide half of the box office, you can still leave the profits of five movies, which can make twice as much money as before.

What's more, laying eggs with chickens and making money by making money is the highest level of making money. If you don't take advantage of it, you are a fool.

Seeing that he agreed so happily, the Xiang brothers laughed happily, "Okay, if you need it, we have all the money we need."

Xia Tian smiled slightly. "Then let's just say that."

"Well, let's talk about our drama. A Tian, ​​do you think Ni Geng is willing to sell us the film and television adaptation rights of his novel?" Xiang Huasheng asked again.

He heard that Ni Geng is a man who is difficult to deal with, and he is a little petty and will revenge. He had an unhappy last time, but this time he was afraid that he would not easily transfer the film and television adaptation rights.

"It should be. After all, last time he took the initiative to provoke us, and it wasn't us who took the initiative to provoke him. He was sorry for us first. What's more, this time we acquired the right to adapt the film and television. We did not cheat him or cheat him, so why should we sell it to others and not sell it to us?" Xia Tian nodded and said.

"What he said makes sense. Ni Geng has written many scripts to others before. Now we just want him to authorize the script, and he doesn't have to worry about the script. But he gets a lot of money, and it's still a good deal." Xiang Huaqiang nodded and said.

"Then let's try it." Xiang Huasheng thought for a while, "Our script is so well written, I think he probably won't refuse."

...

Ni Geng has been very angry these days.

Because that stinky boy in Xia Tian became popular overnight for no reason, which made him unable to accept it.

What's even more annoying is that he made more than 2 million Hong Kong dollars. As soon as he saw the photos of him taking photos with a lot of money published in the newspaper, Ni Geng felt like a flame was burning his internal organs, which was so painful.

"You little brat, have you seen money? You can't stop talking about millions. You really have never seen the world." He comforted himself like a q.

At this moment, the Xiang brothers came to visit.

"Mr. Ni, we want to bring your "Wesley" to the screen. This is the script we asked someone to write, hoping to get your authorization." Xiang Huasheng said humbly.

Ni Geng was very happy to hear him say this.

Although his Wesley novels are popular, because they are science fiction novels, they require large investments to make the films. Science fiction films do not have much market in Hong Kong, so no film company has ever dared to take risks.

Unexpectedly, the Xiang brothers dared to be the first in the world, which really surprised him.

"Very good, very good, I will definitely support it." Ni Geng agreed. If this movie could become popular, then his Wesley novel would be valuable.

But when he got the script and saw that the screenwriter signed the name Xia Tian, ​​he suddenly turned dark, "If you want to shoot my Wesley, you can't use this script to shoot. I can write another script for you."

"No, we must use this script." The Xiang brothers unanimously refused. Because this script was written by Xia Tian, ​​they had confidence in Xia Tian, ​​but they had no confidence in Ni Geng.

Although Ni Geng has written many excellent scripts and set high box office records, it is already a thing of the past. Now his scripts are no longer popular, and no one dares to ask him to write scripts again. Moreover, Shaw's script library still has more than 100 scripts that have not been filmed.

"Then there is nothing to talk about. I will not authorize you to see you off!" When Ni Geng saw the expressions of the two brothers, he knew that they did not believe in his script, which immediately made him feel very humiliated.

You should know that five years ago, the people who asked him to write the script were all very popular, and they were not deceptive to any debt. They were not responsible for the goods sold, and they were quite domineering.

Unexpectedly, I took the initiative to write the script, but I was rejected by others. Ni Geng was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was itchy.

"Mr. Ni, think about it again. We are very sincere." Xiang Huasheng said again.

"No need to think about it, you go!" Ni Geng waved his hand, as if he was slamming a fly.

"You..." Xiang Huaqiang stood up and couldn't help but want to beat Ni Geng. His bad temper could not stand this humiliation.

"What are you going to do?" Ni Geng was startled and shouted with a stern look on his face.

"Brother Ten, forget it, let's go first and find a way later." Xiang Huasheng hurriedly stopped him, "Mr. Ni, I hope you will consider it again."

"No need to see off guests!" Ni Geng said coldly. (To be continued.)
