This actor has something

Chapter 153 Sequel
"Great revelation! Great revelation! Good news!"

Looking at Wang Rui's excitement, He Daqi had actually guessed what the so-called good news was.

But he still smiled and asked, "What's wrong, Rui Ge? Did you pick up eighty cents on the road?"

"We've arrived at a great time! The show "Shanghai Bund" might..."

"You will be supported, right?" He Daqi took over before he finished speaking.

"you know?"

"I knew it yesterday." He Daqi said with a smile.

"Then why didn't you tell me yesterday?" Wang Rui looked at He Daqi in surprise, a little confused. Are you so careless?

"I just want to see how many days the information gap is between mainland China and Hong Kong. Besides, our drama has already been approved. Would it have a big impact on us if we found out a few days earlier or later? Only those who want to eat something hot but are afraid of being late will be anxious, right?"

After He Daqi reminded Wang Rui, he realized that he was a little too excited. Yes, why was he so excited when he was already at the table? Those who should be excited should be those who wanted to squeeze onto the table.

Then he realized something was wrong and stared at He Daqi with empty eyes, wondering, is this kid so smart? And he figured things out faster than me?

"Did your uncle remind you?"

"That's it."

After hearing what He Daqi said, Wang Rui felt that it was a bit reliable. He sat down next to He Daqi, took an apple from the table and started to eat it. After moistening his throat, he said:
"Thanks to your and Vivian's fame, the first Balabala Fairies series sold quite well. We've already made back our investment just from the broadcast rights, especially since CCTV Children's Channel bought it at a low price a few days ago. They're a big hit and have a lot of viewers. After they finish airing, I think our subsequent discs should also sell well. Didn't you say you'd have several series? It's almost September. When will we be preparing for the second series?"

He Daqi was also a little worried when talking about this. He had some unrealistic ideas at the time, thinking that the first film would sell well immediately, and then the second film would follow.

As a result, he was taught a severe lesson by reality. Last time, due to a misunderstanding, Zhou Huimin returned the copyright to him. However, a portion of the profit from the sales of the drama had to be given to Huanya, because Huanya was helping with public relations at the beginning. It had been more than two months since the sales, and after paying the tax and settling Huanya's share, he had just made his investment back.

Let’s not worry about the licensing fee from my uncle for now, it’s also a profit-sharing model. The drama hasn’t been aired many times yet, so how could children start buying peripheral products so soon?

So He Daqi only has more than 1.3 million in his hand now. This amount of money can make the first film, but it is not enough for the second film.

If you want to make it into a series, the second part must at least be much better than the first one, and even the first part may have to be remade in the future. This is easy to say. Yonghui Qiming has a lot of people doing post-production, so just let them remake it when they have nothing to do. The key is where will the money for the second part come from?
Are you going to borrow money again? Or maybe you should just wait and wait until your uncle settles the profit share before filming?

"Brother Rui, why don't we shoot the second part next year? How can we shoot two parts in one year? Isn't it always one part a year?"

"If you don't finish filming the show quickly, Reba and Nazha will grow up. By then, when they stop acting, you won't be able to save money. The production costs are getting higher every year. There are actors' salaries, logistics staff salaries, venue fees, food. If you postpone it to next year, you really don't know what the price will be."

It made so much sense! So much so that He Daqi was scowling.

Guessing that Zhou Huimin should be up by now, He Daqi hesitated for a long time with his phone in hand, but finally called her.

"Are you trying to tell my sister that the drama "Shanghai Bund" has come at a great time? My sister's luck is truly blessed by heaven! Hahahahaha!!!"

Before He Daqi could say anything, Zhou Huimin started to show off. Hearing her joyful movements, He Daqi felt that he was in a safe place!
"I want to borrow some money." After a moment's silence, Zhou Huimin asked, "How much?"

"Not sure yet, we're going to shoot the second part of Balabala the Fairies."

Zhou Huimin didn't hide it and called out to Liu Ying directly: "Xiao Liu, Da Qi wants to shoot the second part of Balabala Little Magic Fairies. How much money is it going to cost?"

"At least three million. Let's not talk about Yaya, Reyiza and Tiantian. Their pay will also increase, right? Isn't it easier for us to increase our pay?

The first post-production of Daqi was done by an intern that Ning Hao helped to find. For the second one, we will do the post-production directly in the company, which can save the company a lot of money.
As for the venue fee, we need to ask Daqi's uncle if he is willing to let us use it for free. If not, we probably won't be able to shoot for 3 million."

Liu Ying came over and talked a lot, which made He Daqi numb.

"Sister Liu, I'm listening! What do you mean by giving your own people a raise? What do you mean by having the production in-house save the company a lot of money?"

Only then did Liu Ying realize that Zhou Huimin did not cover the microphone, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile.

Zhou Huimin first pointed at Liu Ying with a smile, then thought for a moment and said to He Daqi, "I'll give you four million, but you have to give me a share when the profits are divided. Also, we still need to use the channels of Huanyu, so the payment from your second film may be much slower than the first. Do you understand?"

"I understand. Don't mess with the contract. If you do, I'll spank you. By the way, I'll return the money I borrowed from you for the first film. Is that right?"

He Daqi now knows how the broadcasting rights are sold, so he is mentally prepared. He got a great bargain when he filmed his first movie, otherwise it would have been impossible for him to make back his investment in just two months just from the broadcasting rights.

"You don't have to pay it back. Just consider that one million yuan as your pay for filming The Bund. Don't waste it recklessly, okay?"

"understood!"

He Daqi hung up the phone quickly after he finished speaking, leaving Zhou Huimin, who wanted to chat with him on the phone for a long time, stunned.

"Come out for a drink! I'll treat you this time. I've made a fortune recently." He Daqi happily sent a message to the Young Emperor group.

"Da Qi, what do you think of my performance as Ding Li?" Deng Chao replied immediately.

"Daqi, I don't want the opportunity in the children's play anymore. I think you can help me save the opportunity for Shanghai Beach." Cui Bo was also quick.

He Daqi immediately started scolding her: "How dare you use your phone while working at the front desk! Wait till I call the company!"

"Sister is now the front desk supervisor, so be polite, little brother. Be careful next time you come to the company or I won't let the security guard open the door for you!"

Are you so arrogant? I'm still the boss of the company!
These people in the group rarely mentioned recommending roles, and it was obvious that they had made the calls before because they couldn't get out of it.

It’s a pity that we didn’t get together for the final meal. It’s so difficult for people from all over the world to get together again.

It's really uncomfortable to have money but not know how to show off. He Daqi suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have many places to spend money.
