I'm serious about making money

In May, people all over the country were busy with disaster relief. Gu Yongjian followed up the hot news with Youku team and contacted various fund companies to start a new round of financing.

Thanks to the popularity of "Snow Mountain Ghost" and "Table Lovers", the number of users of Youku has greatly increased. Gu Yongjian drew the big pie of "Internet Drama Era" in a timely manner, and it melted in one wave. $4000 million.

It is equivalent to soft sister coins, nearly 2 million.

Jiang Yu did some calculations. A wage earner with a monthly salary of 100 would have to work for more than [-] years without eating or drinking in order to save this money.

One thousand and one hundred years ago, that is the fucking Tang Dynasty!

This made Jiang Yu too greedy.

These big dogs are really rich.

However, he soon felt that the big dog was getting better.

After Gu Yongjian got the financing, he boldly agreed to invest 33 million in "300 Days of Broken Relationship".

That's 300 million, do you dare to think?

The condition is that he must bring a ppt to give investors a road show, and introduce the highlights and characteristics of this project in detail.

Investors are very interested in Gu Yongjian's "online drama" because Hulu in the United States also does the same, and they really want to meet Youku's partners.

Jiang Yu suddenly remembered a joke that Wang Hailin complained about later. The best investor in the film and television industry is the coal boss, and he has no other requirements except for an actress.

Later, after the Internet capital came in, it began to act as a monster.

No way, who made you want to take money out of other people's pockets.

After Jiang Yu went back, he immediately began to rack his brains to make a powerpoint, trying to subsidize his little movie in a different way.

When I came back, I thought about it again. As a third-year student, I dared to toss a commercial movie with an investment of tens of millions. It is normal for people to have concerns.

Yang Mi and Huang Baihe are unwilling to join his film. Apart from the schedule conflict, it is estimated that there is also a factor of distrust of him.

After much deliberation, Jiang Yu had no choice but to make a coat out of tiger skins. With a big director like Ning Hao with a box office of over [-] million, it was not for nothing.

"Lao Ning, how about you come to be my supervisor?"

"No," Ning Hao didn't even lift his eyelids. This guy has just made more than 300 million yuan, and he can't even walk. He is planning to take his wife to Tianshan for a trip.

"It's not in vain, I can let you invest part of it." Jiang Yu tempted.

Ning Hao was lost, "Do you think I'm taking advantage of you by asking me to invest in your movie?"

"Otherwise, if the box office of my movie exceeds [-] million, wouldn't you make a lot of money?"

"You can push it down," Ning Hao didn't know where his confidence came from, "It's your first time making a movie, and it's good if you don't lose money."

It is rumored in the world that a director needs at least three films to grow up. For example, Ning Hao first filmed "Incense" and "Green Grass" to gain experience before shooting "Crazy Stone".

And "Crazy Stone" only had a box office of 3000 million.

Although Jiang Yu made a few micro-movies, after all, this is the first time to make a movie for theatrical release, and a third-year student, dare to imagine that the box office will exceed [-] million?

Ning Hao really didn't know whether to call him brave, or to say that he was whimsical.

You know, there are currently only four directors in China who can make a single movie with a box office of over [-] million, which is rarer than giant pandas.

"You really don't invest?"

"It's not that I don't support you. All my family's money is with your sister-in-law. We are both so old. Unlike you who are young, we are going to buy a house and have children. There is really nothing we can do about investment."

Jiang Yu sighed, "I'll give you a chance, you're useless."

Ning Hao thought for a while, "Why don't you finish the filming, and I'll check the editing for you?"

By then, he should have finished his travels and just be free.

"That's fine. In this way, you give me a producer name, and I will use it for publicity."

"That's fine, you can publicize it as you like," Ning Hao waved his hand, as long as he is not asked to pay, everything will be fine.

After Ning Hao's wave, Huang Bai, who originally wanted to invest a little, and followed Jiang Yu to make a fortune, regretted it a bit.

If the investment is low, Jiang Yu may not care if he can't get it out, but if he really invests hundreds of thousands, he really can't bear it.

After all, it is not easy to make money. Even close friends feel a little apprehensive when spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to invest in an illusory movie.

This has nothing to do with friendship, it's purely human.

It's fine to ask them to help with publicity, or to play a guest role for free.

But investing in something is too risky.

The brothers all have families, so they can't play such a big game with you.

It was also at this time that Jiang Yu realized belatedly that not everyone dared to gamble their wealth.

Huang Bai and Ning Hao are both outstanding in their respective fields, but they are not reborn, and there is no way to predict which movie will be popular and which movie will lose.

When investing, you can only make judgments cautiously based on your limited life experience.

It is said that people will never earn money beyond what they know.

Except for hanging.

Jiang Yu knew all the truths, and he could understand them all.

However, being underestimated and doubted by friends around him again and again made him feel angry.

Damn, labor and capital must show off once, and then blind the eyes of these guys!

Today you look down on me, tomorrow I will let you down!

With this kind of heart, Jiang Yu hated to do ppt on the computer.

"Baby," Liu Sisi said after taking a shower, wiped her wet hair with a towel, opened the door and walked in.

"Have you finished taking a shower?" Jiang Yu asked her, tilting her head.

"Well, I'm so wet, why don't you help me dry my hair." Liu Sisi sat on the edge of the bed, squinting at Jiang Yu.

"Okay," Jiang Yu got up and took out the hair dryer, connected it to the power source, and pressed the switch, a gust of warm air immediately blew out.

Liu Sisi's hair quality is not bad, but for some reason, every time she stays here, she always leaves a pile of strands of hair on the pillow, in the toilet, and in the kitchen.

Jiang Yu grabbed a strand of hair and mechanically blew it, hearing the buzzing noise in her ears, but her mind was thinking wildly.

Not long after, Liu Sisi was blown dizzy. She raised her head to look at Jiang Yu, then lowered her head randomly and quickly.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yu asked casually, "Did you get burned?"

"No," Liu Sisi was a little embarrassed.

In fact, she wanted to say, well, now that you have blown me out, you can come and sleep with me...

There are only zero or countless times of sex. Ms. Liu was very shy before, but now she is a little proactive.

Jiang Yu didn't notice her small thoughts, and put away the hair dryer after drying her hair, still thinking wildly in her mind.

"Baby, are you thinking about the movie?" Liu Sisi asked.

"Well, I will continue to do ppt later. It's really not easy to get some investment these days."

"Is it not going well for you to attract investment?"

"It's okay, at worst, I will pay for it myself."

"Come with me, I'll show you something."

"what?"

"You'll know later," Liu Sisi smiled mysteriously, walked to the living room, took her backpack, and took out a bank card from it.

"Look, here is my bank card, here it is."

Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment, "Why give me this?"

"I'll make a movie for you," Liu Sisi said earnestly, "I've heard that you're having trouble finding investment. I've saved some money, although it's not much. Let's see if I can help you."

Jiang Yu looked at the green bank card, then looked at Liu Sisi's serious face, a little moved, but also a little funny, "You listen to someone talking nonsense..."

"Sister Chen Yang, she told me everything, take it quickly," Liu Sisi stuffed the bank card into Jiang Yu's hand.

Jiang Yu took the bank card and asked curiously, "How much money have you saved?"

Liu Sisi smiled mischievously, and stretched out three fingers, "30, I'm good."

"Well, you are amazing."

Jiang Yu thought, the entertainment industry is very profitable, and Miss Liu, who has only been in the industry for a few years, can actually spend 30 yuan.

But soon he realized that 30, probably all of this girl's net worth, was actually handed over to him just like that.

"Aren't you afraid that I will lose so much money?" Jiang Yu asked a little moved.

"Because I believe in you," Liu Sisi hugged Jiang Yu, raised her head and kissed him on the lips, her eyes were full of sincerity.

"Silly girl," Jiang Yu patted her head with a smile, and returned the bank card to her, "Put away your little treasury, I'm not short of your money."

"I'm rich now."

He went to Huang Bai, Ning Hao and others to invest, firstly to bind everyone's interests, and secondly because he really wanted to bring them to invest together, not because he was really short of money.

Now it seems that they all have their own ideas and cannot be forced.

On the contrary, it was Liu Sisi, a silly girl, who foolishly gave Jiang Yu a sincere heart.

"Sisi, will you be my heroine?" Jiang Yu finally couldn't help it.

"Is it okay? I'm afraid I won't be able to act well," Liu Sisi pouted, a little happy and a little worried.

In fact, after reading the script of "33 Days of Broken Relationship", she really wanted to act in this movie, but she was worried that Jiang Yu would find it difficult to do so, so she didn't have the nerve to say so.

She has always been understanding.

"No, you are the best heroine." Jiang Yu hugged her, looked at her smooth cheeks, and said seriously: "Your salary will be converted into 30 yuan, which will be included in the investment. I will give you dividends when the movie is released." , do you want to do it?"

Although he disliked Ms. Liu's acting skills a little at first, but a girl who can trust you unconditionally and give herself to you, such a friendship has already penetrated Jiang Yu's psychological defense.

This time, the two of them are rookies, so they have to make some troubles in the film and television industry. When the movie is released, let them regret it!

"Go ahead," Liu Sisi nodded happily.

"That's what you said," Jiang Yu bent down and picked her up directly, and walked to the bedroom.

"Oh, I didn't mean that..."

Liu Sisi hopped on Jiang Yu's shoulders a few times in embarrassment, and then gently wrapped his arms around his neck, her warm and soft jade-like body also went limp.

Miss Liu is good at understanding people's thoughts, and Jiang Yu is good at understanding people's clothing, which is a perfect match.

two hours later.

"Positive energy from Liu Sisi, +2000!"

……

The casting of a play will directly affect the investment of the play.

For example, when Lu Yang was preparing for "Embroidered Spring Knife", he pulled investment for two years, but no one wanted to pay attention to him. Later, he accidentally invited Zhang Zhen to play the role, which attracted investors to change their minds and invested 3000 million.

If there is no big star, it is actually difficult to convince those investors with a script alone.

It was rumored that the film and television industry of the Celestial Dynasty didn't pay much attention to scripts, so they always produced those big bad movies.

In fact, on the contrary, Tianchao pays too much attention to the script, so much so that investors, producers, directors, and leading actors all think that the screenwriter is stupid, what kind of rubbish story they wrote, in order to save the rubbish script, they have to revise it according to their own ideas .

In the end, seven changes were made and eight changes were made, and a lump of mud was produced.

In fact, Jiang Yu himself has this problem.

A script was put in front of him, and if he had the right to speak, it would be really hard not to change it.

Based on previous lessons learned, when he introduced the project to investors, he purposely did not bring the script. He just bragged on the ppt about the gap in the market for chick movies in China, and how many celebrities he invited for this movie.

First is the producer Ning Hao, one of the top four domestic directors with a box office of over [-] million.

Then there is the director Jiang Yu—although he is young, he has already made two classic micro-films, "Lovers at the Table" and "Snowy Mountain Ghost", which are very popular with investors who have returned from overseas.

Especially since he is still handsome.

Putting on a suit and gold-rimmed glasses, he looks very gentle, like a rich man or a domineering president.

Those investors, especially the middle-aged female investors, have a good impression of him.

After that came a string of celebrities to be invited - Hu Ge, Tang Yan, Yang Mi, Liu Sisi, Huang Bai, Xu Zheng, Sun Honglei...

Don't care if people can come, anyway, write their names first, either they are handsome men or beautiful women, or they are powerful actors.

It seems that this project is very reliable.

After the flickering, the investors expressed their satisfaction, and Gu Yongjian came to the stage and drew two big cakes of "the era of online dramas", and the investment was successfully completed.

——Youku invested 33 million in "300 Days of Broken Relationship", as Youku's first foray into film and television production.

The two parties agreed that Jiang Yu would complete the production of the film within one year and pass the review. When it is released, Youku will launch promotional resources to help promote it. After the movie is released, upload the film source to Youku for playback.

"Gu, I think your cooperation this time is very interesting," after the road show, a foreigner approached Gu Yongjian and Jiang Yu speaking blunt Mandarin.

At this time, those who are willing to invest in Internet companies are basically foreign capital, and domestic capital thinks that these guys are liars.

After more than ten years, they have to watch hundreds of billions of profits being divided by these guys. They can only stare blankly, and then retort that bat is all controlled by foreign capital.

In fact, if there is no foreign capital, none of these Internet companies can survive.

The foreigner said: "But why, you don't carry out further cooperation?"

"Would the kidney cooperate? Mr. Smith?" Jiang Yu asked, imitating his accent.

"For example, you can invest in Mr. Ricardo's company, and Mr. Ricardo, you can also get some cool options. This is a win-win for both of you."

Gu Yongjian and Jiang Yu looked at each other, both moved.

For Gu Yongjian, this way he doesn't have to worry about Jiang Yu being poached by Sweet Potato.

As for options, Youku claims that all employees hold shares, and even the aunt who sweeps the floor has options.

Options are things that can be turned into stocks if they are listed, and basically equal to blank paper if they are not listed.

Especially for a company like Youku that is still burning money and making no profit, granting options to employees is actually tantamount to giving them blank paper and encouraging them to work hard.

For Jiang Yu, it's actually not a bad thing, he just wants to invest in these Internet companies.

And in this way, he could also take advantage of the opportunity to leave Silly Monkey and set up a new family.

In order to invest in "Crazy Racing", he encouraged Ning Hao to cooperate with him to start Silly Monkey, and then he also used the company's resources to shoot a bunch of commercials and short films. Both parties made a lot of money through this company money.

Now that Jiang Yu's wings are growing, Ning Hao and Huang Bai can't keep up with him.

-

Call for a new company name.
