Prosperity: Financial circle on the left, entertainment circle on the right

On the second day after arriving in Xiangjiang,

Zhou Huimin was indeed a man of his word.

Before Liu Xiaobao got up, the landline phone in the room rang. The call was from Zhou Huimin.

Zhou Huimin told Liu Xiaobao that she had helped him contact a director who was looking for investment last night, and that director would also come to Room 666 of the Peninsula Hotel to talk to him this morning.

It seemed that Zhou Huimin was rushing to work. After notifying Liu Xiaobao, Zhou Huimin hurriedly hung up the phone before Liu Xiaobao could thank her.

Liu Xiaobao was left in a daze looking at the phone that kept ringing the busy tone.

But after coming back to his senses, Liu Xiaobao couldn't help but feel happy

"That's fine. If I didn't have time to say thank you on the phone, I would have the opportunity to thank her in person and have another reason to meet her!"

Now that he was awake, Liu Xiaobao did not go back to sleep. He glanced at the time and found that it was already past eight o'clock, so he simply got up.

After washing, he just opened the bedroom door and saw Su Jie in a neat suit walking towards him. Come over.

Not to mention, it is true that the Buddha relies on the clothes. Su Jie, dressed like this, really looks like a"Zhongnanhai bodyguard".

Liu Xiaobao did not ask Su Jie how much he spent on clothes last night. He just praised him and asked him to call and order breakfast to come to the room.

After the two of them had breakfast, it happened to be nine o'clock.

At this time, the doorbell rang, and Su Jie immediately jumped ahead of Liu Xiaobao. Check out the room.

When Liu Xiaobao saw this, instead of blaming Su Jie for making him rude, he actually appreciated Su Jie's actions, as if he were acting as a bodyguard.

Su Jie only opened the door halfway, and Liu Xiaobao did not see the person outside the door. I heard a male voice coming from the door with a strong Hong Kong accent but speaking broken Mandarin.

"Hello, I am introduced by Miss Zhou Huimin and come to see Mr. Abao!"

Although the pronunciation of the other party's Mandarin was very non-standard, Liu Xiaobao and Su Jie could still understand it.

Su Jie looked back at Liu Xiaobao, saw Liu Xiaobao nodded slightly to him, and then opened the door to let the people outside into the house.

When the visitor entered the room, Liu Xiaobao couldn't help being shocked when he saw the other person's face.

Because Liu Xiaobao had already recognized the visitor. This man was a well-known director in Hong Kong. He had made many classic movies. He had"Xu" The famous director known as"Old Weird" - Xu Bu.

Liu Xiaobao really didn't expect Zhou Huimin to introduce such a famous director to him.

Recognizing the person as Xu Bu, Liu Xiaobao quickly stood up to greet him.

"I really didn’t expect that the person Miss Zhou introduced to me was actually Director Xu, whom I have admired for a long time! Xu

Xu said modestly:"Mr. Abao, you are too polite. You are the big boss. How can a small director like me catch your eye?""

"Director Xu is too modest. Come on, Director Xu, please sit down!"He greeted Xu Xu to sit down. At the same time, Liu Xiaobao also poured Xu Xu a cup of tea himself to show his respect for Xu Xu.

"Thank you! Xu Xu thanked him and then said:"Mr. Abao, you are the big boss. You must be busy, so I won't waste your time and get straight to the point." Liu

Xiaobao nodded and replied:"I don't like to beat around the bush. It wastes time. Director Xu, we can just say it directly!""

"Mr. Abao, I heard from Miss Zhou Huimin that you are looking for a suitable movie to invest in, right?"

Liu Xiaobao took out his business card box from his pocket and handed a business card to Xu Xu. He replied:"Yes, this is my business card. I wonder if Mr. Xu has any movies that need investment?"

"Tianbao Entertainment Company?"Xu Xu glanced at the business card, and when he read the name of Liu Xiaobao's company, there was some doubt in his eyes.

Liu Xiaobao also caught the doubt in Xu Xu's eyes, and immediately explained to Xu Xu

"I am doing business in Pujiang. This entertainment company was newly registered in Xiangjiang last month. It is mainly for film investment. The company has not produced any works on its own. It is normal that Director Xu does not know about it."

Hearing Liu Xiaobao's explanation, the doubt in Xu Yi's eyes disappeared, and he quickly complimented with a smile.

"It turns out to be Mr. Bao. I keep calling you Mr. Bao. It’s really rude. Please forgive me for my previous sin of ignorance."

"Director Xu is really flattering me, so let’s stop being polite and let’s talk about business!"

Xu Xu nodded, put away the smile on his face, straightened his expression, and took out three folders from his bag.

"Mr. Bao, I still have these three movies that I am seeking investment in. Mr. Bao, take a look. If you are interested in which movie, you might as well invest a sum of money and participate in one share."

Liu Xiaobao took the three scripts handed over by Xu Bu, nodded to Xu Bu, and then carefully read the scripts.

Liu Xiaobao couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Because these three scripts were all written by him. There are many classic movies in the past.

One is"Green Snake", one is"The New Crane", and one is"Butterfly Lovers".

However, after being excited, Liu Xiaobao couldn't help but feel a little confused and entangled.

The doubt was because Liu Xiaobao found that he seemed to have some problems before. He underestimated the cost of shooting a movie.

Previously, he thought that a movie could be made with an investment of three to five million.

But now after seeing the script and investment budget given by Xu Xu, Liu Xiaobao realized that the investment of a movie now It may also require more than 10 million.

Of course, the investment budget of each movie is different, some are high and some are low.

Just like the three scripts in front of me, the investment budget of the movie"Green Snake" is 10 million. The budget of"The New Crane and the Needle" is 8 million, and the investment budget of"Butterfly Lovers" is 5 million.

Generally speaking, different actors are selected, and the remuneration required is different, so the investment budget of the movie will naturally be different.
