Zhu Mei's family is from Zhejiang and Yue, but because the focus of her career is in Huajing, she bought a house in Huajing a long time ago.
During this time, she made a lot of money from movies, whether it was "Love Letter" or "The Gift of Room No. 7".
The successive income has already exceeded 200 million yuan. In addition to investing 50 million yuan in Yongxing Supermarket, she followed Shen Huan's advice and bought a house in Huajing for the remaining 150 million yuan.
The area she bought was not large, that is, a two-bedroom apartment of 80 square meters. According to the current average house price in Huajing, which is as high as 50,000 square meters, she bought 40 units in total.
Originally, there was still about 10 million short, but when the boss saw that Zhu Mei was so happy and spent a full 150 million to buy a house, he immediately wiped out 10 million.
Because Shen Huan told Zhu Mei that there was no use for her money anyway, so she could just put it away to preserve and increase in value, and then discount it when she needed to use it in the future.
In China, what can retain its value better than a house
there is none left.
If Zhu Mei is short of money in the future, he can just sell one set. If he is short of money again, he can sell another set... How good is this
Zhu Mei thought so, so after buying the house, she entrusted it to a leasing company to run it, earning a monthly income of 200,000.
This made her tell Shen Huan that she would live comfortably even if she retired now.
Of course, Zhu Mei herself is not particular about the quality of life at all.
In terms of life, she is similar to a female college student who has just graduated. She has a few simple sets of clothes in the room, the same simple decoration, and uses one room as a studio... and that's it.
Shen Huan heard that the eldest princess Zheng Rongrong was the same. No wonder they had so much in common.
The boy arrived at her home at this time.
"A lot of companies have come to me recently." Zhu Mei took out a folder and placed it in front of Shen Huan, "Not just the famous domestic film companies, from Tai Chi, Japan, and Hollywood. Companies, all want to get involved.”
Shen Huan smiled and read for a while, "Hey, Boss Yang hasn't sent out an invitation yet. He's really stable!"
Yang Feng is Shen Huan's friend, and Zhu Mei knows that he knows Shen Huan's identity as Chu Liuxiang.
As for the reason why he didn't ask Shen Huan to get the script, Zhu Mei's analysis was the same as Shen Huan's. This big boss who had always been victorious wanted to rely on his own strength to win, thereby proving that he was also first-rate in entertainment. Strong.
But now the failure of three TV series and three movies has proven that Yang Feng's vision is surprisingly poor.
Together with his so-called big IP conception and analysis, it has become a joke in the film and television industry.
Even the bosses in the film and television industry have a combined net worth that cannot compare to Yang Feng, but this does not prevent them from laughing at this outsider.
It's like Hollywood bosses laughing at Wall Street's predators.
If it is not your own field, you will naturally encounter many difficulties.
Zhu Mei also smiled when she heard this, "Boss Yang actually has some understanding now. His company originally had 5 movies ready to be produced in the second half of the year, but now they have been suspended. Only the 3 movies that were in production will be released one after another. If these three movies are all If all of them fail, or if TV dramas are added to it, then he will be completely enlightened."
"Whatever." Shen Huan shrugged, "We'd better follow our own plan and go step by step!"
After a pause, the young man continued, "Aunt Mei, what are your plans? Who do you prefer to cooperate with? Don't worry about what I think, you know I have no objection to Zheng Rongrong."
Zhu Mei pondered and said, "I think Yanhuang Pictures is more suitable."
"Oh? Qi Yiwen?"
Shen Huan picked up the folder again and looked at the conditions of Yanhuang Pictures carefully.
Yanhuang Pictures' investment in "Xiaoba's Story" is 120 million yuan, and subsequent funding can be increased by 30 million to 50 million.
For post-production, there is no limit on the amount, as long as it is done well.
For a movie with a plot far simpler than "The Gift of Room No. 7", such a production cost is already very high.
In addition, the global publicity budget they gave is the same as "The Gift of Room 7", which is a full 100 million US dollars.
In addition to salary and overtime pay included in the investment, the dividend they gave to Zhu Mei's team was 10%, and the dividend to Shen Huan was also 10%.
All control of the entire crew, including personnel and funding, is made by Zhu Mei. Yanhuang Pictures can give priority to selecting its own actors, but it can never specify roles.
Shen Huan looked at Shanhaiwang's conditions again and said with a smile: "These conditions are almost the same as Shanhaiwang."
"It's almost the same. Because it's almost the same, I decided to change it." Zhu Mei said frankly, "You also know, not only the cost of "Love Letter", many people on Shanhai.com have opinions. In "Room No. 7" "Gifts" above, some senior executives even said that most of the money we earned was taken away, just like helping others make wedding clothes.
We are obviously cooperating normally, but can't they see the huge benefits that "Gift from Room No. 7" has brought to Shanhai.com? They point at us, as if we are taking advantage of them!
So, if we don't find another film company to cooperate this time, I'm afraid they will have to ingrain this idea!
It's time for us to separate and see if we can't do it without them. If we don't have Shanhai.com, we won't be able to make good movies. "
Shen Huan nodded slightly as he listened to Zhu Mei's words.
These rumors are actually in the news all the time.
Although most of them are just catching wind and shadow, as the saying goes, there can be no waves without smoke.
It is normal for Shanhai.com to feel a little resentful.
After all, they spent so much money.
The publicity fee for "Love Letter" alone was 300 million.
"The Gift of Room No. 7" is even more exaggerated. The production cost was as high as 300 million yuan, and the publicity cost of another 100 million US dollars added up to 1 billion yuan.
The final box office of "The Gift of Room No. 7" was RMB 4.05 billion, and the total revenue was only about RMB 1.5 billion. After excluding various expenses, the actual revenue was only RMB 500 million.
As a result, Chu Liuxiang received 150 million, Zhu Mei's team received 150 million, and various actors also received rewards ranging from tens of millions. In the end, Shanhai.com basically made no profit at all.
Do you think those people will gossip
Of course, this makes no sense.
Starting from the time when "The Gift of Room No. 7" won the Golden Lion Award, the Best Director Award, and the Best Actress Award, it lasted for about half a year, and it was all the hot news.
Such hot pursuit and continuous success have increased Shanhai.com's market value by at least US$10 billion.
Isn’t such a 70 billion valuation increase not money
Investment companies are willing to use real money to buy shares based on this valuation!
Therefore, many people on Shanhai.com are a group of idiots who cannot see the big picture, only the petty profits.
The eldest princess is not such a person. She understands the benefits that "The Gift from Room No. 7" brings to her best, so she generously gave out a huge reward of almost 400 million yuan.
Even for Chu Liuxiang's new book, "Xiaoba's Gift", she still gave very good conditions.
The production cost given by Shanhai.com is 20 million higher than that of Yanhuang Pictures.
But Zhu Mei had other plans this time.
Money is not an issue, but there is a gap between the two parties when they cooperate, and cooperation is meaningless.
Of course, Shen Huan expressed support for this.
"Brother Ding and Brother Shi all agree, right?" Shen Huan asked.
"Well, they all agree with my idea." Zhu Mei nodded in response.
"Then let's start contacting Yanhuang Pictures!" Shen Huan also made a decision, "A production team cannot rely on one company for too long. Without competition, there will be no progress, and without comparison, there will be no gap. For this reason, they should be allowed to understood!"
