Chapter 124: Making a Move on Liu Tianxian and Liu Shishi! (Begging for Flowers and Votes)

Hou Hou Hongliang, that old fox, attached great importance to "Nirvana in Fire".

After reading the script,

he immediately made the decision to invest in and produce this drama.

However, his initial idea was to buy out the copyright from Su Chen for a few million.

Produced exclusively by Zhenwu Sunshine.

But Hu Ge informed him that Su Chen wanted to invest.

Including Hu Ge himself, who was willing to throw in money.

Therefore, this video conference was convened.

Film and television investment: ultra-high returns, ultra-high risks.

Unless it is a work with over 90% certainty of making money.

Or the production company possesses exceptionally strong strength.

Otherwise, most TV dramas and films are co-produced by many companies.

This way, if money is made, everyone can get a share.

Each company will definitely earn relatively little.

But if there is a massive loss,

many companies will jointly bear the risk.

Most capital seeks steady profits and does not want to take risks.

But many dramas by Zhenwu Sunshine are exclusively produced.

And they employ a large number of artists under their banner.

And basically all make huge profits.

For this "Nirvana in Fire", Hou Hongliang naturally also wanted to make the money himself.

Alas, the script is in Su Chen's hands; he has the final say!

The script is the soul of a TV drama or film.

It is equivalent to the foundation of a skyscraper.

If the script is terrible,

no matter how much money is spent, how big the stars are hired, or how top-tier the special effects are,

it cannot be saved.

The script is the most important, yet precisely the least valuable link.

Even a top-tier script crafted by a gold-medal screenwriter.

At most, it gets settled for a few million.

Screenwriters cannot take dividends.

They almost never have the power to invest.

After this meeting, both parties reached an agreement.

"Nirvana in Fire" will be co-produced by Zhenwu Sunshine and Yang Mi's new company, Oriental Muge.

At the same time, Hu Ge and Su Chen will also contribute personally.

This drama is expected to have an investment of around 150 million.

Zhenwu Sunshine contributes 60 million.

Oriental Muge contributes 60 million.

The remaining 30 million, Su Chen and Hu Ge each contribute half.

Investment is investment.

Su Chen as the screenwriter, Hu Ge as the male lead.

They will also, from these costs,

receive their own copyright fees or acting salaries.

Yang Mi's new company, Oriental Muge, is a small nobody among many entertainment groups.

It has not participated in creating any blockbuster work.

It has not signed any proper artists under its banner, only a few small fry.

But at this moment,

Oriental Muge has cooperated with Zhenwu Sunshine, a giant in the TV drama circle.

Once "Nirvana in Fire" explodes,

then Yang Mi and Oriental Muge's status and influence in the circle will skyrocket.

Yang Mi will write a glorious chapter in her investment resume.

Oriental Muge will similarly attract the attention of many investment tycoons.

Therefore, if the results of "Nirvana in Fire" can meet expectations,

Su Chen's debt to Yang Mi is truly one of rebirth!

Once Oriental Muge rises,

even if she is swept out the door by Jiayin, it won't matter.

Her wings have hardened.

Going to a new company to be the chairman, isn't that great?

Isn't it much better than being the third wheel in Jiaxing, getting crushed?

Yang Mi frowned her willow eyebrows.

"You're so talented; you wrote such a great script for Old Hu."

"When will you write one where we play the male and female leads?"

"We're both so busy with work; from now on, we might not see each other even once or twice a month."

"If we cooperate on a drama, we could be together every single day."

Su Chen played coy.

"I actually have a small, fresh Tian Yuan drama on hand."

"This drama isn't that kind of nationwide blockbuster, but it's only one tier lower."

"It's called 'To the Place Where the Wind Blows'! I plan to secure investment as soon as possible."

"Once preparations are ready, we'll start filming when the weather warms up next spring."

Yang Mi: "'To the Place Where the Wind Blows'... such a poetic name; no wonder it's a small, fresh Tian Yuan drama!"
