Chapter 209 Investing in Wolf Warrior 2
“Are there any interview invitations recently?”
Hearing Lu Liang’s words, Wen Chao was stunned. He knew that Lu Liang didn’t like to appear here. It is not in the public eye, so invitations like this are directly rejected.
He thought for a while and replied: "Forbes magazine has always wanted to interview you, and there was also a municipal commendation meeting recently."
The former wanted to interview this year's best investor. After all, Shen Peng won the title for the seventh time in a row. Everyone had guessed that this year, if not Shen Peng, he would at least be Zhu Hu. Unexpectedly, Lu Liang suddenly appeared halfway.
The latter is because of last year's tax settlement, they contributed a one-time tax of 51.2 million yuan, becoming a tax pioneer in Puxin District.
Although there are crouching tigers, hidden dragons and companies in Puxin District that pay taxes worth several billion each year, after all, they contributed more than 50 million in taxes in the first year of their establishment, and there will only be more in the coming year.
The title of tax pioneer is well deserved.
Wen Chao added: "Director Zhou from City Publicity also said that if Mr. Lu is willing to accept the award in person, he will also be awarded the city's top ten outstanding youth awards. You may have the opportunity to compete nationally in the coming year. "Top Ten Outstanding Young People."
The city announcement also wants to save face. If Lu Liang goes there in person, then this award must be his, and no one can take it away. If Lu Liang doesn't plan to show up, it has nothing to do with him. .
After Lu Liang thought about it: "Tell Forbes that I will accept the commendation from the municipal government first, and then accept their interview."
He did not want to be exposed before, so whether it was an invitation from the official or a media reporter, Wen Chao Push them all away.
Now if you want to take the initiative to expose yourself, official platforms are undoubtedly the best choice. With official commendations and interviews with Forbes, there should be slightly fewer people paying attention.
Wen Chao was stunned and quickly responded: "Okay, then I will contact the person in charge of the municipal government first."
"Go ahead."
Lu Liang flipped through the film and television projects and saw Wolf Warrior 2, Legend of Shark Pearl, and Legend of Wukong.
He was attracted by the investment list of Wolf Warrior 2, and Xiao Wang actually invested 20 million.
The previous work had a good reputation and box office, so it stands to reason that there is no shortage of investment in the series.
However, Wu Jing got lost. The original production cost of 110 million was increased to 210 million due to various reasons, and the investment cost increased by almost 100%.
Generally, film production costs are multiplied by three to break even, which means that in the future, the box office must exceed 630 million to make a profit.
A sudden funding gap of RMB 100 million forced Wu Jing to abandon the crew and return to China from Africa to seek investors.
The plot of this game is not complicated. It is similar to the personal heroism of Captain America. It also promotes the influence of Red Flag on the African continent. It is a very typical commercial blockbuster with the main theme.
Lu Liang was interested, but 100 million was not a small amount. After thinking about it, he called Xiao Wang: "Hey, I heard that you invested in Wolf Warrior 2?"
" Sure enough, this project went to you."
Xiao Wang smiled, as if he had expected it. There are only a handful of investors in China who can spend 100 million to invest in movies.
Shen Peng, Zhu Hu and the others can easily come up with it, but they are not interested in movies. Today, among the powerful and interested investors in the country, only Lu Liang is left.
Xiao Wang said with a smile: "I think the plot is quite interesting, mainly because Wu Jing has a good vision."
"How do you say this?" Lu Liang was confused.
"He originally invited me to be the second male lead, the rich second generation of the factory. Isn't this vision good enough?"
Xiao Wang was very proud, Wu Jing invested one million He was invited to star in the film, but it would take him to Africa, a place he didn't want to go.
So I was in a good mood and invested 20 million in him.
Lu Liang had a joking look on his face and guessed: "Is there a possibility that he is making a nest and the drunkard is not interested in drinking?"
Xiao Wang was speechless for a moment and suddenly became furious: "You If you are always so scheming, you will have no friends in the future. "
Lu Liang smiled and was about to hang up, but Xiao Wang hurriedly stopped him: "Please note that this project is too short of funds. I heard that Wu Jing is planning to sell the house. "
"You are so good at heart?" Lu Liang was surprised.
Xiao Wang complained bitterly: "He built a nest for me, and I had to find someone to support him. Moreover, this project is really good. Don't you think it could potentially promote the benefits of the Silk Road?"
Lu Liang was stunned and pondered. : "I will consider it."
Next, he looked at a few more projects. During this period, Wen Chao came back and informed that the commendation meeting was scheduled for this Thursday and Forbes' visit was scheduled for this Saturday.
The next day, Wu Jing, who was going through the procedures at the bank and preparing to mortgage multiple properties to continue filming, suddenly received a call from her agent: "Brother Jing, come back quickly, we have a sponsor."
"Who is it again?" Wu Jing sighed, his eyes full of exhaustion. He no longer had any hope.
He has already searched for all the institutions he should look for, and now the investors he invests in are small investors who have little money and many things to do.
If you invest hundreds of millions, you either want to have a hidden heroine, or you want your children or lover to play an important role. Wu Jing wanted to scold her, but she really didn't want to deal with them.
Now he just wants to mortgage his house quickly to get enough funds, and then quickly return to Africa for filming. After all, every day the crew is shut down costs hundreds of thousands or millions.
“Guess what.” The agent was full of excitement.
"I guess your uncle likes to talk but doesn't talk."
Wu Jing's tone was not good, but Fan's manager was standing in front of him and directly gave him a military punch.
The agent smiled with a smile on his face: "Brother Jing, calm down, it's Lu Liang who has contacted us."
"Lu Liang from Tianxing?" Wu Jing was surprised, although he has been there recently I'm busy watching Wolf Warrior 2, but I've also heard of Lu Liang's name.
He is in his early thirties, has tens of billions in cash flow, and is unfavorable in the international market. He is a real financial tycoon.
"I just wanted to give it a try, so I found Mahua Zhang Chen and asked him to help recommend our project to Lu Liang."
The agent was extremely excited. He thought everything would be lost, but he didn't expect Lu Liang's secretary to contact him To him, invite them to the magic city to discuss in detail.
As long as Wu Jing can persuade Lu Liang to invest, the 100 million capital gap will be nothing more than watering down in front of this big boss, and there is no need to look for other investors at all.
“Damn it, why didn’t you tell me earlier when we were going to the Magic City?” Wu Jing asked hurriedly.
He put away the real estate capital decisively and asked others to invest. It was better to let others invest as much as possible.
If the house is mortgaged and the movie hits the market, more than ten years of hard work may be in vain.
"I'll be waiting for you at the airport in an hour and a half. We have an appointment with Lu Liang to meet at three in the afternoon."
"Wait for me, I'll be there soon."
The two of them Go to the airport from different places and arrive at the New International Building half an hour early at 2:30 pm.
Wu Jing’s face was full of nervousness and she couldn’t help but shake her legs to ease her mood. The manager next to her also made no concessions.
After all, they were going to meet the most mysterious and legendary financial tycoon in the country later.
Just after three o'clock.
Lu Liang almost walked to the reception room with a smile on his face: "Mr. Wu, Mr. Li, hello, you've been waiting for a long time."
He looked at Wu Jing, for the first time When I saw it on the screen, it was during the summer vacation of junior high school that year, Xiao Li Fei Dao starring Jiao Enjun.
More than ten years have passed, and the fair and tender young boy has turned into a dark-skinned, muscular man. It is hard to imagine that next year he will make a name for himself in the movie "Wolf Warrior 2".
The box office of 5.494 billion is more than twice that of last year's champion "Monster Hunt", not to mention that "Monster Hunt" is still money laundering.
Movies that launder money only dare to launder 2.4 billion. Lu Liang is curious about how movies without money laundering can hit a box office of 5.4 billion.
"Hello, Mr. Lu, we have just arrived." The agent was smiling all over his face, and Wu Jing was also looking at Lu Liang.
The first thought that came to his mind was youth, and then he quickly looked away. After all, it was rude.
He also hopes to get investment from Lu Liang.
Lu Liang pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "I have read the synopsis of the movie. It is very good."
He asked bluntly: "Is 100 million enough?"
The two looked at each other. At one glance, Lu Liang was too happy to see the shock in each other's eyes.
Lu Liang’s words clearly indicate that he has decided to invest and intends to add additional funds.
Are all big guys so happy?
In other words, 100 million is just a number to him?
It is possible. After all, there are rumors that Lu Liang currently has tens of billions of cash flow in his hands.
The agent was just about to say enough, Wu Jing touched the back of his head with an embarrassed smile on his face: "Mr. Lu, if there were more, the texture and plot of the movie would be better."
Lu Liang laughed: "As long as it's a project I'm optimistic about, no matter how much it costs, it doesn't matter. So, Mr. Wu, just tell me the number."
There's still 12 o'clock
