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

What troubles Liu Xiaobao is that he only knows that these three movies will be regarded as classic movies in the future.

But he did not know the specific box office data of these three movies when they were released.

Even if he traveled from 2023, he would not remember everything that happened in the past, let alone the box office data of movies over the years.

There are only some movies that have won the box office championship and were very popular, but Liu Xiaobao still has a little impression of them.

As for the specific box office receipts of other films, Liu Xiaobao really doesn't know.

So Liu Xiaobao didn’t know which movie he should choose to invest in right now? Which movie should I give up?

However, during these days, Liu Xiaobao has become accustomed to being invisible in his emotions and anger. Therefore, although he is confused and entangled in his heart, others cannot tell what he is thinking from his face.

Since he didn't know how to choose, Liu Xiaobao naturally wouldn't make a decision easily.

While he continued to look at the scripts, he asked Xu Xu:"Director Xu, how much funding are you missing for these three scripts?"

Xu Xu did not dare to make false reports in this regard, because as long as the funds are found, the film will start shooting.

If Xu Xu lied, once Liu Xiaobao was willing to invest in the script, but the filming of the movie could not start, Xu Xu would not be able to explain it at that time.

So Xu Xu answered completely truthfully.

"This"Green Snake" has only raised two million in investment, and there is still a shortfall of eight million."

"This"New Crane and Divine Needle" has already attracted 4 million investment, and there is still 4 million left."

"Maybe people think that the theme of this"Butterfly Lovers" is too old-fashioned and doesn't have much freshness, and they are worried about losing money, so I have only managed to get an investment of 500,000 yuan."

After listening to Xu Xu's words, Liu Xiaobao made a calculation in his mind.

He only has 5 million funds in hand now. If he invests in"Green Snake", it will not be enough to fill the budget of"Green Snake". He will have to wait until Xu Xu Filming can only start after the investment has been secured.

In this case, the investment cycle of his five million funds will be too long, which is not cost-effective.

On the contrary, for the two movies"The New Crane and the Needle" and"Butterfly Lovers", no matter which one Liu Xiaobao invests in Both movies can be started immediately.

The key now is, which one of the two movies should he choose to invest?

Liu Xiaobao thought about it seriously and analyzed it himself.

He also felt that the movie"Butterfly Lovers" The subject matter is too old-fashioned. Although it can be called a classic, it is likely to be a hit at the box office after it is released.

After all, everyone knows the story of Butterfly Lovers. No matter how the screenwriter adapts it, it is unlikely to change the ending. Knowing exactly what is going on at the end of a movie really makes people unable to have much desire to spend money to watch it in the cinema.

But"The New Crane and the Needle" is different. First of all, martial arts style is very popular in this era, and this movie The movie is adapted from the novel by the famous writer Wo Longsheng, and has many fans of the novel.

Even if not all fans of the novel will go to the cinema to support it, even if a small part of them go to the cinema to watch it, it will still be able to guarantee a box office.

Liu Xiaobao thought in his heart Comparing the two movies, he had an answer in his mind.

Liu Xiaobao put down the script of"Butterfly Lovers" and started reading the script of"The New Crane and the Needle" again.

Soon he discovered that, The director of"The New Crane and the Needle" turned out not to be directed by Xu Wei himself, but by Chen Musheng.

"Director Xu, don't you plan to direct this"New Crane and Divine Needle" yourself? Xu

Xu smiled helplessly:"I have too many things to do. I have to attract investment and direct the"Green Snake". I really don't have the skills to do it. But director Chen Musheng is also good, and this movie is From my film studio, I will also help direct and produce."

Liu Xiaobao also knows about director Chen Musheng. Chen Musheng is quite famous. He has also directed many classic movies.

For example,"Who Am I?"》、《duo》、《new police story》、《Baby Plan》、《Anti-drug》……Wait, these classic movies are all directed by Chen Musheng.

Liu Xiaobao has also watched all these classic movies directed by Chen Musheng. Although Chen Musheng is not very famous now, Liu Xiaobao still believes in his abilities.

What's more, Xu Xu promised that he would help guide and supervise the production, which made Liu Xiaobao even more relieved.

So after Liu Xiaobao listened to Xu Xu's words, he just nodded and said nothing more about the selection of director.

Then Liu Xiaobao discovered something else and asked Xu Xu with some confusion:"Director Xu, how come the male lead and other actors have been decided, but the candidates for the two female leads have not been written down?"

Xu Xu looked at Su who was standing aside. Jie glanced at him and then replied softly to Liu Xiaobao

"This is a rule in our industry. The choice of heroine is usually final, and the largest investor usually decides on the heroine. Now that the investment has not been completed, we have not yet determined who is the largest investor. Naturally, I can't decide on the heroine, but don't worry, Mr. Bao, this matter will definitely not delay the filming of the movie."

After hearing Xu Xu's answer, three words suddenly popped into Liu Xiaobao's mind, unspoken rules!

Although Liu Xiaobao has never been in the entertainment industry, he has heard a lot about the scandalous things in the entertainment industry..

So even if Xu Xu didn't say it explicitly, Liu Xiaobao already understood the underlying meaning of Xu Xu's words. At this moment, Liu Xiaobao didn't think too much about those embarrassing things. He just wanted to invest in a movie quickly to try the water.

"Director Xu, I have already made a decision. I will invest in the remaining 4 million funding gap for your"New Crane and Divine Needle". Xu

Xi was overjoyed:"Thank you, Mr. Bao, I will definitely make this movie well so that you can get a high return on your investment!""
