Chapter 474 474. New Project
Nie Wei showed an inquiring attitude, but Xu Canglong did not dare to treat him casually.
"You say." Xu Canglong sat upright, and kept thinking about what Nie Wei would ask for. In the end, would he increase the share ratio, or send a manager to manage the studio, or would he have any advice on the planning of the game?
Just when Xu Canglong was thinking about it, Nie Wei said: "Mr. Xu, I don't want to just invest. I hope to cooperate with you by investing in shares. What do you think?"
"Investment in shares?" Xu Canglong was stunned for a moment, and then he pondered for a long time. The plan proposed by Nie Wei made him hesitate for a while.
The most critical thing is the shareholding.
Xu Canglong was very worried that Nie Wei would ask for the controlling rights of the studio. What he was more worried about was whether Nie Wei would interfere with the normal operation of the studio if he had the controlling rights. Although Nie Wei was also a well-known game producer, Xu Canglong also had his own ideas for making games.
"I wonder how many shares you want?" After hesitating for a while, Xu Canglong finally asked. After all, he was penniless now. Nie Wei's investment was the hope for the studio to reopen, so he still had to fight for it.
"I'll pay one million, and you give me 30% of the shares of the studio. I won't participate in the production of your company, and I will be responsible for part of the publicity of your company's games after they are completed. Of course, the investment amount will remain the same, and the share ratio will not change."
Nie Wei looked at Xu Canglong's relieved look and threw out the last killer: "If you agree, I will be responsible for your company's game investment in the future, provided that sales performance can be guaranteed. As long as you have ambition, let alone two million investment, I can afford five million or ten million. Even if your team is capable and creative and can pass my company's risk assessment, I can also help you with hundreds of millions of financial support. I hope that one day, I can also see you produce 3A-level game works."
Xu Canglong's blood boiled after hearing Nie Wei's words. His eyes were so bright that they were scary. He looked at Nie Wei and asked, "Mr. Nie, are you telling the truth?"
"Once a word is spoken, it can't be taken back. If you still have questions, we can write it into the contract." Nie Wei replied with a smile.
Nie Wei was not lying to Xu Canglong, but as Nie Wei said, there is a basis for all this, that is, the games produced by the game studio must guarantee quality and sales. Nie Wei will not be stingy with funds in the face of successful people, but in the face of losers, he can only say sorry.
Of course, considering that sometimes even the most successful people will stumble, Nie Wei will also prepare a certain stop loss limit for these studios, and Nie Wei is also preparing to set up a special team to grade these studios and give them different levels of investment and stop loss limits.
And Xu Canglong's Hetu Studio is just Nie Wei's first experimental subject. In the future, Nie Wei will sign more studios, and they will be like cornerstones, and eventually help Nie Wei build a game kingdom in China.
Xu Canglong does not understand Nie Wei's ideal scenario. He just knows that the idea proposed by Nie Wei is very beneficial to him. Thirty percent of the studio's shares is indeed a lot, but it is within Xu Canglong's acceptable range. The most important thing is that as long as Nie Wei's request is agreed, the studio will not worry about funds in the future as long as it guarantees a certain level of performance.
Moreover, Nie Wei's very generous words also made him sure that he had indeed embraced a golden thigh. In his opinion, Nie Wei's words were naturally not empty words, because Nie Wei's worth proved that he was confident in saying this.
For Xu Canglong, 3A masterpieces are too far away, but thinking that he may have tens of millions of funds to make a game he wants in the future, it really makes him excited.
After thinking for a while, Xu Canglong nodded to Nie Wei and agreed to Nie Wei's conditions.
The rest is to discuss some details. Under the premise that both parties have a strong willingness to cooperate, these are quickly supplemented. Xu Canglong is very satisfied with the contract provided by Nie Wei, especially after he signed the contract, within five minutes, the one million investment funds and the two million funds for the game were all received.
Walking on the streets of Kyoto, Xu Canglong called Yao Xian as soon as possible.
"Yao Xian, I'm in Kyoto, do you have time to have a meal?"
"Did something good happen?" Yao Xian suddenly heard Xu Canglong in Kyoto, and was stunned for a moment, but soon thought of the willingness, and immediately asked with understanding.
"Good news, Nie Wei has invested in me, and the contract has been signed!" Xu Canglong replied happily.
"Then you have to treat me to a good meal." Yao Xian laughed: "Let me choose the place, wait, I will send you the address of the restaurant right away."
"No problem! I'm waiting." Xu Canglong hung up the phone happily. Yao Xian was definitely a very important part in getting Nie Wei's investment. Although he just helped to connect and mentioned it to Nie Wei, this was an opportunity. Without Yao Xian's lead, Xu Canglong would have no chance to contact Nie Wei, let alone any investment.
So he had to treat this meal, no matter how much money he spent, after all, in this matter, he owed Yao Xian a big favor.
Without mentioning where these two producers from Taiwan went to enjoy the food, after completing the contract with Xu Canglong, Nie Wei checked his schedule and then picked up the phone.
At this time, the crew of "Infinite Challenge" far away in Suzhou and Hangzhou was recording the last episode of the first season. When Nie Wei called, it was their halftime break.
"Kun'er, give me two pieces of your chocolate. I'm exhausted from running." When Yuchi Linjia heard the word "rest", his whole body softened immediately. Seeing Cheng Kun take out chocolate to eat, he also wanted to ask for two pieces.
It's really not that Yuchi Linjia is greedy, but the program is really too tiring. While chewing the two pieces of chocolate handed to him by Cheng Kun, he complained to Cheng Kun that the program crew was too inhumane.
"The working special made us brothers go around half of China, not to mention the pursuit battle. We ran all day, and there was also a football special. We were asked to participate in a charity friendly match for professional players. Let's not talk about the rest. It's either physically exhausting or very brain-burning. It's not easy for me to do this program."
"How many seasons did you sign the contract for?" Cheng Kun didn't answer his words, but asked back.
"One season, what's wrong?" Yuchi Linjia asked puzzledly.
"That's perfect. The first season will be finished soon. You can choose to leave." Cheng Kun glanced at him and replied.
Yuchi Lingjia was immediately choked by Cheng Kun's words. After all, although this program is hard, the process of participating is still full of joy. The most important thing is that the company pays a lot of money. For this reason, Yuchi Lingjia feels that she can at least stick to recording one more season.
"Kun'er, it's boring for you to chat like this..." Yuchi Lingjia was about to talk to Cheng Kun, when she saw Cheng Kun's assistant running over in a hurry with a mobile phone and handed it to Cheng Kun.
"Shh!" Cheng Kun looked at the number, immediately made a "whisper" gesture to Yuchi Lingjia beside him, and then answered the phone.
"Mr. Nie, do you have something to talk to me about?" Cheng Kun asked.
"The last episode of the first quarter of "Infinite Challenge" is about to be recorded, right?" Nie Wei said.
"Well, it will be done tomorrow morning."
"Then book a flight back to Kyoto tomorrow afternoon. I have a TV drama script here, and I want you to take the lead." Nie Wei said, thinking that Cheng Kun on the other end of the phone would agree immediately, but Nie Wei waited for a while but didn't hear a response. Just when he was even wondering if the arc was broken, Cheng Kun's voice trembled with suppressed excitement.
"Hey, I'll book a ticket right away."
"Okay, that's it." Nie Wei was about to hang up the phone after saying that, but after thinking about it, he told Cheng Kun: "Grasp it well."
"Okay." Cheng Kun only answered with one word, but he said it very firmly.
He had waited for this opportunity for so long, so long that he gave up hope for a while, thinking that maybe his life would just pass by like this, but life is full of surprises. The competitor he thought of at the beginning appeared in front of him again, but this time, he became his savior.
Cheng Kun mustered up his courage and terminated his contract with the company and switched to Huayi, all for the sake of that glimmer of hope. He was anxious during the subsequent waiting, but he never showed it. He just quietly accumulated strength and waited for the opportunity to come. He also failed in the middle, but he still stood up like a tenacious weed. The belief that supported him to the present was the promise that Nie Wei gave him.
Now, Nie Wei has finally fulfilled his promise.
Cheng Kun looked up at the sun in the sky, as if the hope in his heart had finally turned from a ray of light into the scorching sun today. Thinking about it, Cheng Kun finally couldn't help but shed tears.
Yuchi Lingjia, who was standing by, was completely stunned. He had never seen Cheng Kun cry. How could he cry like this after receiving a phone call? He hurriedly comforted him: "Kun'er, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong at home or are you wronged? Tell me, I will help you if I can."
"It's okay, I just got hurt by the sun." Cheng Kun wiped his tears and smiled brightly at Yuchi Lingjia.
"It's okay? You said you were fine, why did you look at the sun? Are you a child?" Yuchi Lingjia saw that Cheng Kun's eyes did not have any suppressed emotions, but he was excited. He was suspicious, but then he was a little annoyed. After all, Cheng Kun's crying scared him.
"Everyone, come and see, Cheng Kun is crying!" The next moment, Yuchi Lingjia, as a bad friend, immediately shouted loudly.
"Where is it?"
"Is this true?"
"Where is my phone? I want to take a picture!"
"Kun'er, don't run!"
On the other side, Nie Wei, who had hung up the phone, filled in Cheng Kun's name in the male lead column of the TV series "My Love from the Star".
So far, the casting of this TV series has finally come to an end.
The female lead is confirmed to be Fan Binbin, the male lead is given to Cheng Kun, and Nie Wei still chose Hu Ge for the male second, because his image is really very consistent, and Tangren is also very cooperative, guaranteeing that Hu Ge will join the group as soon as possible, and will not overlap with other roles at the same time, and will film this TV series wholeheartedly.
As for the selection of the female second, it really gave Nie Wei a headache for a while. Nie Wei considered among several actresses for a long time, and finally decided to give this opportunity to Senior Sister Dong Xuan, because this role requires certain acting skills, and Dong Xuan is impeccable in both image and strength.
As for the director, Nie Wei contacted Li Dawei, who had directed "The Story of a Noble Family". After introducing the outline of the script to him, Li Dawei agreed to take on the TV series on the spot.
Because in his opinion, the type of this TV series is really too strange, and it is a subject that has never been involved in the current domestic TV drama circle.
Based on his experience, this TV series will either flop or become a big hit, there is no third possibility.
In addition, with the golden guarantee of screenwriter Nie Wei, Li Dawei feels that the chance of a big hit is still higher than a flop, so he thinks it is worth taking a risk. After all, he has filmed many works since "The Golden Age", but none of them have made a breakthrough. Perhaps this work will bring a breakthrough to his career.
And Nie Wei chose Li Dawei for a reason. In China, Li Dawei is considered a director who has studied idol dramas in the mainland. The original "The Golden Age" was actually an idol drama in the Republic of China, and then "The Red Family" also had the shadow of idol dramas. These experiences are his advantages, and Nie Wei himself has some little bad tastes. He is looking forward to Li Dawei's expression when he sees that the male lead is Cheng Kun.
Of course, Nie Wei is also looking forward to Cheng Kun's expression when he sees Li Dawei, which must be quite exciting.
Just when Nie Wei was about to call his secretary in to inform the other leading actors of the TV series of the meeting time, a phone call interrupted Nie Wei's work.
The caller was Wang Zhonglei, who only wanted to inform Nie Wei about one thing, which was a talent show.
The talent show that Wang Zhonglei had been thinking about since last year finally started. This program is called "Come on! Good Man". Wang Zhonglei followed the idea given by Nie Wei and focused on the talent show for boys.
The model is very similar to Super Girl. Both set up constituencies across the country, and then select Zeng Zeng, and finally decide the champion in the national finals.
However, compared with Super Girl, Huayi's hand is undoubtedly more generous. Perhaps Nie Wei's "Back to 20" filled the company's pockets, so Wang Zhonglei directly invested 5 million Chinese yuan in the champion prize of this variety show, and the runner-up, third place and even the top ten also received rewards, and the total prize money directly exceeded 10 million.
Nie Wei also agreed with this point. With more prize money, it is more attractive to promote it, and it can also attract more people to participate. After all, 5 million is a lot of money that many people can hardly earn in their lifetime.
But Nie Wei didn't understand what Wang Zhonglei meant by calling him, after all, he had already informed Wang Zhonglei that he had no intention of participating in this program.
Thanks to Mingdu Haixue and 0773, two book friends, for their continuous support for many days, and thanks to xiaoliouqing for the 500 reward support.
