Chapter 402 Mutual benefit is cooperation
“Tomorrow, I will accompany you to Mahua to talk to Zhang Chen.”
Lu Liang lowered his head and saw that he was wearing high heels and had tight calves. , trembling, feeling happy for no reason.
The small space and the special scene can really make people's desires rise and they feel unprecedentedly surging.
Afterwards, he picked up the white wine in the ice bucket, pulled out the cork, blew on it, and sighed: "Comfortable."
"Abba, Abba, I'm thirsty too."
Zhang Tianai's big eyes are watery, like blue waves of spring water.
The little cherry mouth opens and closes, the delicate lip makeup has turned into a kissing lip makeup, and there is still a little stain on the chin.
Lu Liang handed over the bottle, and Zhang Tianai stretched her neck, so he took it back, over and over again, making her irritated again and again.
Lu Liang laughed: "Drink."
Zhang Tianai quietly observed Lu Liang. Suddenly, he pounced on the food and took a sip. The toe of his shoe hooked a blanket from the bed and covered himself and Lu Liang.
Squinting his eyes: "I'm sleepy, sleep."
"Go to sleep." Lu Liang couldn't help laughing.
Without a bed, the two of them hugged each other in the small bay window, looking at the night view of the city, and spent a good time together.
Early the next morning, I woke up to the sunshine and went back to bed to take a deep sleep.
Near noon, Lu Liang followed Zhang Tianai to the Mahua Theater.
"Tian Ai, please wait outside for a moment. I will chat with Mr. Lu first."
Zhang Tian Ai was left outside the office. Inside the office, Zhang Chen was like a primary school student who made a mistake. , standing in front of Lu Liang.
"The Shameful Iron Fist" was released very early, and by the time it was released, it had accumulated a box office of 1.375 billion.
As a movie with an investment of 70 million and a publicity of 50 million, it is undoubtedly a huge success to achieve this box office result.
But it can be more.
If he had listened to Lu Liang, avoided Wolf Warrior 2 and postponed its release to the National Day holiday, it would have guaranteed a box office of 2 billion.
That is to say, their reputation in the Mahua market is very strong. If it were another movie, it would have been sucked dry by Wolf Warrior 2.
There is no doubt that a good movie will affect the box office of movies of the same period, otherwise it would not be called a crash.
Iron Fist was obviously the one who was killed.
If they didn't get the news beforehand, they could only blame it on bad luck, but Lu Liang had informed them beforehand and tried to avoid competition.
A car accident could have been avoided.
But because of his arrogance, the car accident happened, so the responsibility lies with him.
"Mr. Zhang, the total cost of Iron Fist is 120 million. As long as you make money, it's useless to say more now."
Lu Liang smiled and said a simple and plain sentence, which immediately made Zhang Chen's smile My heart hit rock bottom.
As long as you make money, it is good. This statement only applies to small businessmen and hawkers. For top VCs like Lu Liang, making less money means losing money, and it can still avoid human-induced losses.
Zhang Chen wanted to explain, but Lu Liang no longer gave him any time to explain: "Xiao Ai's contract has almost expired, right?"
Zhang Chen nodded dullly: "Tian Ai and Ma Hua I only signed a two-year contract and it expired in mid-November this year. "
Lu Liang said directly: "Help her set up an independent studio, and you can find her if you have suitable roles in the future."
"Okay, okay" Zhang Chen nodded repeatedly. , suddenly showed excitement, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
Helping Zhang Tianai set up a studio means that it is affiliated with Mahua, so their representative relationship is still there, but it just needs time to slowly repair.
"Is there anything else?"
Lu Liang patted the non-existent dust on his body. Zhang Tianai made him happy, so he would naturally give him some support.
A second-tier flower in the entertainment industry is already famous. If she renews her contract, she will only get away with the income she should have received.
Establishing a studio and operating it independently to reduce the price difference earned by intermediaries is the only way for every star.
Zhang Chen hesitated again and again, and took out the project "Li Cha's Aunt" for the second half of the year, reluctantly giving up 40% of the share.
Lu Liang was dumbfounded: "Mr. Zhang, just invest 15% in Tianxing as before."
Mahua is the same as him, even if the box office of Iron Fist is slightly unsatisfactory, he still maintains his position so far. Undefeated record.
The minimum profit for each movie is 200%.
Now I just need to say that they lack funding for filming. There must be many investors waving banknotes and queuing up to join.
But Mahua is different from Tianxing. After all, Mahua is just a movie maker. He can't afford to offend anyone. He needs to take care of the emotions of theaters, distribution and other parties. A long time ago, when Lu Liang had just come into contact with this industry, Wu Tianzheng of Good Dream Productions once said that for good film and television projects, the investment share will not flow out of the market at all, because the cake has been divided internally long ago.
Before, Lu Liang’s investment accounted for 15%. No one should have dared to touch his cake, but now it suddenly increased to 40%.
His share is more, which means someone is less.
The last project, including Tianxing, also had three investors including Wanda Cinema, Xinli Media, and Maoyan Media.
The three of them accounted for 60% of the investment. Zhang Chen would never dare to attack them. It was very likely that he would kill himself and give him the investment share that belonged to Mahua.
Lu Liang sees this, so he will not take away others' love. Mutual benefit is cooperation, and harming others and benefiting oneself is called offering.
Just because you don’t have an opinion now doesn’t mean you won’t have an opinion in the future. Besides, investment is not a guaranteed profit.
At least he didn't receive any news. It is very likely that the Mahua Group has exhausted its talents.
Li Cha’s aunt invested 40 million, accounting for 15%, which is only 6 million. It doesn’t matter even if it is wasted.
"That's it, let's go."
"Thank you, Mr. Lu, please go slowly."
Zhang Chen was so moved that he quickly opened the door and watched Lu Liang leave.
Lu Liang and Zhang Tianai left the Mahua Theater. As they walked, he said: "In mid-November, the contract expires. You can set up your own studio. If you don't understand anything, ask Zhang Chen and he will help you." ."
Zhang Tianai was speechless and widened his eyes: "Mr. Zhang, do you really mean that?"
Lu Liang said angrily: "Are you doubting me?"
"No, no~~" Zhang Tianai hurriedly folded her arms and acted coquettishly, expressing her 1.2 million trust in Lu Liang.
It is normal for an artist to leave the company and set up a studio, but it is very abnormal for the key to ask his old club to help.
For example, some time ago, Da Mi Mi and Jiaxing Media were on the hot search list because of their lawsuits.
She has Lu Liang as her backer, so Zhang Chen will naturally not embarrass her, but he won’t be so generous, right?
It's a bit like the NTR plot of Neon Theater.
And this can also send a signal to the outside world. Her background is terrible, otherwise Zhang Chen would not be able to let her leave, and would also help her set up a studio.
Lu Liang chuckled and said: "He feels guilty. No matter what he does in the future, you can just bear with it."
"Yeah." Zhang Tianai was delighted and held Lu Liang's arm: " What should we eat?”
“It’s okay, you can arrange it.”
Lu Liang stayed in the capital for two and a half days, visiting Li Auto and Douyin Technology to learn about the recent developments.
He didn’t ask any more about Didi’s matter, as if nothing had happened. He would wait until Panda was launched.
At noon on the 16th, he returned to the Magic City.
Meeting with Xiao Wang's team at the airport, Xiao Wang looked puzzled: "Why do you look like you are being squeezed dry?"
"Is it obvious?" Lu Liang couldn't help but touch Cheeks.
He and Zhang Tianai have been living together these days, and their relationship is no less than a reunion, so they play more unrestrainedly.
I don’t know if it was because he neglected to exercise or if he was really having too much fun that his waist was a little sore when he woke up this morning.
"It's a bit obvious, the dark circles are almost coming out." Xiao Wang suppressed a smile and introduced several anchors under his name.
"Liu, Jiang Tao, Han Yingying..."
They are all tens of millions of anchors, but when they meet Lu Liang one by one, they are as excited as fans when they meet their idols.
"Hello." Lu Liang nodded and smiled. He only knew Liu among the four. The slutty bully was so famous that it was difficult not to recognize them.
"Hello, Mr. Lu, I have long admired you." Liu shook hands with Lu Liang with enthusiasm and made pig noises excitedly.
Long Fei arranged the itinerary: "Mr. Lu, they will leave before us later. We will meet at the New York Airport then."
Lu Liang's Global 6000 has limited seats, not to mention that he himself We need to bring some people over, but there is simply no room for both groups of people to sit down.
In the end, it was decided that he and Xiao Wang would take Lu Liang's private plane together, and the other members of the team would leave one hour early.
There will be another chapter later.
Definitely, it’s just a little late.
