Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 42: 97's good start! A deal worth 1200 million is done!
It was just an ordinary one-night stand.

Moreover, the heroine ran away.

That's not bad either.

This shows that Xu Qing understands the basic principles of One Night Stand.

They knew each other before, so the future would remain the same.

Ma Xun will of course abide by the basic principles.

However, Ma Xun also admitted it.

The four words "round and smooth as pearls and jade" can only be understood deeply.

Only then can you get its subtlety.

In addition, Ma Xun was also deeply impressed by the changes in Xu Qing's facial expression.

I'd better not think too much about it, the night has passed.

It's really a great way to say goodbye to 1996.

And what about 1997?
First of all, Ma Xun made a summary of the previous year.

He simply calculated how much he had earned and how much he had on hand now.

The revenue of "Don't Cry at Seventeen" was more than 200 million.

There’s nothing we can do about it, that’s how CCTV is.

The ratings of this drama are quite high, but it doesn’t make much money.

Fortunately, my second aunt gave me the news that it will be broadcast again.

This is how doing business with CCTV is, and Ma Xun is mentally prepared for it.

Another business is copyright.

The 500 million is actually the real profit.

The follow-up is still under discussion.

And these have to be shared with Sun Donghai.

In fact, Ma Xun got about 400 million yuan (:).

As for the operation of the "New Shanghai Bund" project, it has not yet been completed.

We have to wait for the money to be divided.

Then comes the part with Sister Hong.

Mainly the movie "I heard".

The box office has already reached over 1200 million.

Then, the expected repayment should be more than 400 million.

If he shares it with Sister Hong, Ma Xun can get at least 300 million.

However, this is an 'estimate' and some of the money has not yet been returned.

But it’s okay, after all, the movie hasn’t finished showing yet.

Another thing is that the subsequent copyright issues can also be handled.

Making movies nowadays is so difficult.

There is nothing we can do about it. This is the current state of our domestic film market.

There are cinema chains at present, but the national cinema system has not yet been promoted.

A cinema chain company can be understood as several cinemas joining together to keep each other warm.

The current strength is still average.

Ma Xun remembers very clearly that the truly nationwide promotion of the theater chain system had to wait until 2002.

In fact, this year is very meaningful for Chinese films.

Not only did it promote the theater system, it also released the blockbuster "Hero".

The era of blockbusters began.

Or, you can look at it the other way around.

If the cinema system had not been implemented, "Hero" would not have ushered in the era of blockbuster movies.

It’s like right now, movie theaters across the country are in disarray.

Not only do we have to divide the release of our movies by city.

Even collecting the payment is very difficult.

But this is the reality now.

If you want to make a movie, you have to accept this reality.

Then calculate again.

Ma Xun also spent a lot of money, and now he needs to buy a car.

To match his "mysterious background" and "big shot" identity, the car cannot be bad.

Ma Xun had received some quotations before.

Mercedes-Benz and BMW are really not cheap these days, ranging from fifty to one million.

But as the saying goes, ride a bicycle to the bar.

The province should spend its time.

You really can't save money on this car.

In this way, after adding up all the miscellaneous things, there are also additions and subtractions of taxes and so on.

Ma Xun has almost 500 million in his hands.

This is called 500 million!
It was definitely pretty awesome in the 90s.

This also makes Ma Xun more confident.

Next, he still has a lot of business to do.

There is still a lot of business that has not been completed.

He could have said one.

500 million is just the beginning.

Interestingly, good news followed.

New Year's Day is over.

Ma Xun received a call from Ye Quanzhen.

“I have already made an appointment with He Xiuqiong, and she is also very interested in this talent show.

Of course, everything was as you expected. He Xiuqiong hinted to me many times that she was dissatisfied with old officials such as Liu Lili.

As for Director Ouyang, he was also very happy when he heard this proposal..."

Very good, everything is going according to plan.

Ma Xun was actually not that surprised.

When he learned that the original director was Liu Lili, he knew he could take advantage of it.

So, the next key is the production of this program.

"Well, our strength..."

Ye Quanzhen was asking about strength, but Ma Xun understood that she was referring to money.

"Don't worry about that."

Ma Xunhui was very confident, so Ye Quanzhen didn't ask any more questions.

She just needs to continue to deal with He Xiuqiong and that's it.

But Ma Xun didn't say something. 500 million was his confidence.

But he didn't intend to use this confidence.

You are doing a project, why use your own money?

The message released previously should now have its effect taken back.

……

It is winter now.

It’s still a good time to eat hot pot.

Ma Xun and Sun Donghai came to Niujie again.

This time the banquet is for Bai Daqing.

"Is this really true?"

"Yes, the project is absolutely stable."

"Qiong Yao drama?"

"It's a talent show for Qiong Yao dramas."

"Fuck! You two are awesome!"

Bai Daqing is different from his younger brother Bai Xiaohang. He gives people a more stable and dignified feeling.

However, facing a variety show related to Qiong Yao drama.

He was also a little excited.

There’s nothing you can do about it, Qiong Yao dramas are really too popular these days.

Not to mention him, even Director Ouyang was watching this show all day long.

However, Bai Daqing is really not Bai Xiaohang, he is smart.

The guy first raised a glass.

The three of them finished drinking and laughed.

The atmosphere is good.

But then, Bai Daqing said very calmly: "I have to say something first. This talent show has never been done before, and no one is sure.

We know that this TV station has a very good viewership, but after all, it mainly belongs to one province.

Considering the scale of this program, this program would cost more than 1200 million, and many bosses think it is too expensive.”

Conclusion: They think it is expensive

Sometimes it's like this, just listen to the last part.

Sun Donghai's face turned sour. "Brother Bai, what you said is so rare. How rare is this opportunity? We two brothers finally found this opportunity. Ask outsiders, how many people want to get involved in Qiong Yao dramas?"

Bai Daqing also nodded, "Brother, you are right, but this is more than 1200 million."

He has a point, but it's a lot of money.

At this time, Ma Xun took a bite of meat and said something inadvertently.

"Brother Bai, when did we release the news last year? And what happened in November? Brother Bai, tell me the truth, did we raise the price?"

This may sound a bit weird, but it’s actually the whole point!
Last November, that was the CCTV advertising bidding.

Qin Chi directly threw out 3.2 million!
Ma Xun and Sun Donghai released the news of the audition much earlier than this.

In other words, although this variety show is only on Hunan TV 2.

But, more than 1200 million compared to 3.2 million.

What's expensive?

The key is, we didn’t raise prices!
After hearing this, Bai Daqing was speechless and could only nod.

"Brother is right, brother is right."

Seeing him like this, Sun Donghai was very happy and secretly gave Ma Xun a thumbs up.

But it's not over yet.

Ma Xun then looked at Bai Daqing and said, "I understand the doubts in Brother Bai's heart, and I also understand the mentality of those manufacturers. They still feel unstable.

How about this? Qiong Yao is not the one in charge of this play, but when the person in charge comes to our mainland, I will arrange for Brother Bai and the advertising company to meet with them. Of course, Director Ouyang should also be there with them."

When Bai Daqing heard this, he felt relieved!
The key is that he heard a key point.

This time, the production of the Qiong Yao drama is not directed by Qiong Yao herself.

In the past, Qiong Yao and her husband were mostly responsible.

But judging from what Ma Xun said, it was someone else this time.

The key point is that Ma Xun actually knew it!
This is very telling, and it also means that the project is stable.

"Brother! Why didn't you tell me earlier? I am now..."

Bai Daqing wanted to express his apology, but this guy was about to pick up his wine glass.

Ma Xun suppressed it again, "Don't be anxious, Brother Bai, we have to say something in advance. You know better than me how important this meeting is. So, I also need to understand the 'strength'. I hope to see..."

strength?

Bai Daqing understood, "How about this! Don't give this project to anyone else. I'll bring a check for six million to the meeting. How about that?"

What I mean is, give me half first.

Sun Donghai was happy, "Okay! Let's drink!"

This guy acted a little ahead of time, which made Ma Xun a little helpless, but it was still not bad.

This is considered to be the finalization of this deal.

Afterwards, the three of them ate, drank, and chatted in a very happy atmosphere.

When the banquet is over...

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

“It’s six million.”

"But this Bai Daqing is not simple. He said that he would give the six million only when we meet in person."

After Ma Xun said this, Sun Donghai even sobered up.

It seems that Bai Daqing is also very cautious.

So, the key point is this meeting.

"Brother, the person in charge..."

"Don't worry about that. Even if Director Ouyang can't come, the person in charge will definitely be there."

Ma Xun had thought about it long ago, because he could use the talent show as an opportunity to watch the actors.

He Xiuqiong didn't know that she had already been sold by Ma Xun before she came to the mainland.

But even so, Sun Donghai also knew what they should do next.

“What about the actors in the talent show?”

"We don't need to worry about Taiwan, as for us..."

“Arts exam!”

Sun Donghai will answer the questions quickly.

After the Spring Festival, the art examinations of several major art schools will begin, which is a good time.

But when it comes to art exams, two people appear in Ma Xun's mind.

Gao Yuanyuan and Bingbing...

　Thank you all for your support, I really appreciate it!
　　I will definitely work very hard on the writing this time, so please be patient and wait for me to put it on the shelves.
