Reborn Nobleman: Starting From Eagle Sauce, He Made Hundreds Of Billions

“I wonder what Mr. Su wants to meet me about?”

After a few pleasantries, Zhou Xingxing got straight to the point.

Su Chengyang laughed and said,”Mr. Zhou is really a quick-witted person.”

“I have something here, Mr. Zhou, take a look first.”

Su Chengyang picked up a document beside him and handed it over.

Zhou Xingxing took the document with a puzzled look on his face.

Mermaid?

When he saw the title, Zhou Xingxing was stunned for a moment.

Then he flipped through it, and only then did he realize that it was a script.

Seeing Zhou Xingxing’s eyes becoming more and more serious, Su Chengyang did not disturb him from reading the script, and drank coffee with a faint smile on his face.

Before coming to Hong Kong, he planned to let Zhou Xingxing shoot the script of Mermaid.

Instead of spending money, it is better to come up with a good script directly, which can impress the other party more.

Ten minutes later, Zhou Xingxing, who was reading my script, took a deep breath, suppressed the ripples in his heart, and looked up at Su Chengyang opposite:”Do you want me to shoot this movie?”

“Snap~~”

Su Chengyang clapped his hands and praised with a smile:”Sure enough, it can’t escape Mr. Zhou’s eyes.”

“I really hope Mr. Zhou can come to shoot this drama, and I only believe that Mr. Zhou can shoot this drama well.”

Zhou Xingxing didn’t care about Su Chengyang’s praise, but praised:”This”Mermaid” is really interesting, it will be worth watching if it is filmed, and the script style and lines are very similar to my nonsensical comedy style.”

“Mr. Su, can I ask who wrote this script?”

Who wrote it?”

Su Chengyang was slightly stunned.

Then he grinned and said,”A friend wrote it.”

Without waiting for Zhou Xingxing to ask, Su Chengyang said,”But he doesn’t write it now.”

“oh~~”

Zhou Xingxing was going to ask who it was and then have a discussion, but it turned out that the other party didn’t want to write it.

A hint of disappointment flashed across his eyes.

He looked at the script in his hand and became energetic again. His intuition told him that this movie should be very popular.

“Mr. Su, I am willing to take this role, but I have a condition, I hope you can agree to it.”

“Oh? Mr. Zhou, please go ahead.”

“I hope to participate in the investment of this play and cooperate in the form of box office dividends.”

Hearing this, Su Chengyang’s eyes flashed with a gleam of light. He was not too surprised by what Zhou Xingxing said.

Most directors usually get a director’s fee, which is mostly negotiated before filming, but there are also some big directors who will adopt the model of film pay + box office dividends.

There are also zero director fees, and then use box office dividends.

For a director like Zhou Xingxing who has already become famous, it is no exception to mention box office dividends, or it is reasonable.

In addition, this also indirectly shows that Zhou Xingxing is very optimistic about this Mermaid.

Otherwise, he would not have proposed box office dividends.

“Mr. Zhou plans to use the director’s fee as an investment and then get a share of the box office dividends?”

Zhou Xingxing nodded.

“How about this, we split the profits at 4% of the total box office, what do you think?”

Su Chengyang thought for a while and gave a number.

If calculated based on a box office of 1 billion, it means that he can get 40 million, and if it is 500 million, it will be 20 million, and Zhou Xingxing’s director fee is between 12 million and 20 million.

Not to mention 1 billion, so far, the box office has not broken 1 billion.

In the end, as long as the box office is not less than 300 million, then the dividends will not lose money, and it will be the same as his director’s fee.

But he is very optimistic about the movie”The Mermaid”. He estimates that the box office of this movie should be 400 million to 500 million yuan, and if he is luckier, he may even get 600 million.

In this way, it is definitely more cost-effective than simply taking the director’s fee.

After thinking it through, Zhou Xingxing looked up and said,”Let’s do as you said, Mr. Su, and split the profits at 4% of the total box office.”

“Very good, happy cooperation!”

Seeing Zhou Xingxing agreed, Su Chengyang stretched out his hand with a smile.

Zhou Xingxing shook his hand and said with a smile:”Happy cooperation!”

After the preliminary discussion, the two communicated about the film project and decided to use artists from Shanhai Films or Perfect Films as much as possible for the actors. Zhou Xingxing had no objection to this. After all, it was normal for the producer to promote his own artists.

“Mr. Su, I just read the script and there is a supporting actress in it, that is, the role of Li Ruolan. I would like to recommend someone to play this role.”

“Oh?”

Su Chengyang said with a smile:”Who does Director Zhou plan to invite to play the role?”

“Her name is Zhang Yuqi. She played a role in”CJ7″ before. Her acting is very good. I think the role of Li Ruolan, a wealthy woman, is very suitable for her.”Zhou Xingxing said with a serious face.

Su Chengyang naturally had an impression of Zhang Yuqi. She was a very domineering woman.

Especially the line”The people chasing me are lining up from here to France.”

And the line”I took out 30 billion to play with you, but you treated me as air and went to pick up a fish.”

These two lines made people feel that a female billionaire should be so domineering.

It can be said that she played a supporting actress more memorable than the leading actress.

But this girl is also a tiger. Later, it was reported that she abused her husband.

Yes, you read it right.

Others are husbands who abuse their wives, but she did the opposite and chopped her husband with a knife. She is definitely a fierce tiger girl.

“Since Director Zhou thinks she is suitable, she should play the role.”Su Chengyang said with a smile.

Zhou Xingxing hurriedly thanked him. In his opinion, Su Chengyang was giving him face.

In fact, Su Chengyang was indeed giving Zhou Xingxing face. Otherwise, there are many candidates for the role of Li Ruolan, not only Zhang Yuqi, such as Gao Ye, the actress who played the eldest sister-in-law in”The Storm”, who is the same type of woman as Zhang Yuqi.

After it was decided that Zhou Xingxing would go north to prepare for this project at the beginning of next month, Zhou Xingxing left because of something.

Su Chengyang looked at the time and it was almost noon. After asking the hotel butler to prepare some lunch, he returned to the presidential room to see his new kitten, but he was not there.

There was no 100,000 yuan, needless to say, he probably went out to play.

Shaking his head, Su Chengyang called Lin Haishen, Liao Haidong and others to have a simple lunch in the hotel restaurant.

At three o’clock in the afternoon.

Su Chengyang arrived at the Phoenix headquarters.

He said his name at the front desk, and soon Yang Shoucheng came out to greet him in person.

He greeted him with a smile.

The two shook hands, exchanged a few words, and walked into the company and sat down in the conference room.

Not long after, Cheng Long arrived.

“Sorry, I was late because of racing on the road.”

Cheng Long apologized as soon as he entered the door.

Su Chengyang smiled and said,”It’s okay, I just got here too.”

After a few more polite words, Su Chengyang saw that everyone was there, so he clapped his hands without any nonsense. Lin Haishen took out two documents from behind him. Su Chengyang reached out to take them and put them in front of Cheng Long and Yang Shoucheng.

Cheng Long took the documents and looked down.

“”A Stunning Rescue?”

He paused for a moment.

Then, he read it carefully with curiosity.

It was not a script, but just a general outline of the story.

So, within a few minutes, Cheng Long had finished reading it.

He seemed to be unsatisfied.

“Mr. Su, the plot of this script is quite simple, a bit like a Hollywood popcorn movie. However, judging from what is written here, there should be a lot of action scenes, and it also involves a lot of explosions and special effects, which will probably be very expensive.”

“Aaron, you are right. The highlights of this drama should be action fighting, gun battles and explosion special effects.”

Yang Shoucheng also finished reading the information in his hand and agreed.

Su Chengyang smiled and said,”You two are right. This drama is indeed aimed at Hollywood action blockbusters. The key to the success of this drama lies in whether the action fighting scenes can be shot well, as well as the gun battles and explosion shots.”

“High investment is inevitable!”

After a pause, Su Chengyang looked at Cheng Long with a smile:”Mr. Cheng, are you interested in participating in this play?”

Cheng Long also smiled and said,”It’s quite interesting, but how about the salary?”

For Big Nose Long, as long as he can afford the money and the script is not particularly bad, he doesn’t mind making money.

Besides, if this play called”Shocking Rescue” is successfully filmed, he will also be proud of it and it will also be good for his reputation. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

“Mr. Su, I have an unreasonable request.”Yang Shoucheng said suddenly.

It’s an unreasonable request, what’s the point of saying it.

Su Chengyang, who was complaining in his heart, smiled kindly and said,”Please go ahead, Mr. Yang.”

Yang Shoucheng said,”We at Yinghuang want to invest in this movie, and I wonder if Mr. Su can let us have a share of it.”

“this…”

Su Chengyang pretended to be embarrassed.

He was not surprised that Yang Shoucheng wanted to invest in”The Rescue”. After all, Yang Shoucheng had this idea at the dinner last night, but there was no script at that time, so Yang Shoucheng did not say it clearly.

Now that he has seen the plot summary, he wants 960 to invest and share a share of 960, which is also expected.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Su, Yinghuang is only investing and distributing dividends, and everything else belongs to you.”

Seeing Su Chengyang frowning and embarrassed, Yang Shoucheng said hurriedly.

Hearing that only dividends were distributed, Su Chengyang’s face was less embarrassed.

In fact, Su Chengyang was not very sure about the play”Shocking Rescue”. After all, it was an online movie. Although it was produced by Netflix and had the quality of a movie blockbuster, it had not been shown in theaters after all. He had no idea how much box office it could get. If someone was willing to share the risk, Su Chengyang would naturally be happy.

“I wonder how much Mr. Yang plans to invest?”Suppressing the ripples in his heart, Su Chengyang asked

“Thirty million.”

Yang Shoucheng said a number.

Su Chengyang calculated it.

If Cheng Long were to be the lead actor, his salary would probably be sixty to seventy million. For other actors, even if they were not big names, it would probably be ten to twenty million. Add in special effects, etc., and the minimum would be two hundred million. This was just the preliminary budget. The exact amount would only be known after the crew was formed.

“In this way, it is not clear how much will be invested, so how about dividing it according to the investment ratio?”Su Chengyang thought carefully for a while and said.

Yang Shoucheng was delighted when he heard it:”Okay, let’s do it according to what Mr. Su said and calculate it according to the investment ratio.”

Although it is calculated according to the investment ratio, Su Chengyang proposed that Yinghuang’s investment can only be 30 million yuan. Too much proportion is too high, which is equivalent to taking away his profits. Yang Shoucheng readily agreed. The investment is small and the risk is small. Even if he loses money, he will not lose much.

As for the director, Su Chengyang proposed to let Lin Chaoxian shoot.

Su Chengyang thought that he was very suitable for this kind of action and gun battle scenes.

Yang Shoucheng immediately said that he would invite Lin Chaoxian.

As for Cheng Long’s salary, Cheng Long asked for 70 million.

With his status, this price is not expensive. After all, Cheng Long’s salary for the previous”Kung Fu King” was 80 million, and there are many fighting scenes in”Shocking Rescue”. In his words, the script is good, plus Yang Shoucheng, he said a friendly price.

The cooperation has been initially reached, and the remaining two parties have to formally sign a contract in Yanjing, and then raise the crew and materials..
