Chapter 139 Comedy Duo

Chen Pingsheng will not give up on running a hypermarket.

There are many reasons for this, the main one being that a hypermarket is not just a supermarket, it is more like a gathering place for traditional department stores.

As for milk tea, he can do some research after he has some free time.

After chatting with Tong Zelan and others at Tengying Entertainment for an hour, he drove home.

Time flies, and it’s been a week in a blink of an eye.

Tengying Entertainment’s half-month holiday is over, and all employees have returned to work at the headquarters.

Both the online sales that Tong Zelan is responsible for and the production that Hu Ding is responsible for in Guangdong have already started running.

The derivative Taobao store authorized by Hua Qiangu has been settled in several major e-commerce platforms at the same time.

And Zhao Liying, who was busy with business endorsements and acting in Hengdian, Zhejiang, was also called back by him.

Chen Pingsheng handed her a contract.

“This is a cooperation I discussed a few days ago. It is mainly to develop Hua Qiangu’s peripheral products. At present, someone is responsible for production and sales. Liying, you can take a look.”

Zhao Liying was busy.

Three hundred and sixty-five days a year, she is either filming or on the way to take on a new role.

She is undoubtedly a real model worker.

"Brother Chen, you called me back for this matter. You can just help me decide on this matter!"

"It's not just for this matter."

After Chen Pingsheng stood up, he handed her a plan for C round financing from Feiyangyang.

"By the end of the year, once Hua Qiangu is broadcast, Feiyangyang will officially start the C round of 1.5 billion valuation. You still have 10.5% of the shares in your hands. I have some classmates. If you are willing, you can sell them at the original price of 100 million."

Zhao Liying smiled. She was really happy.

"Brother Chen, I only invested 10 million in Feiyangyang, and you turned it into 100 million in less than a year. Do you think I should sell it now?"

"It depends on you."

Chen Pingsheng said: "They originally came to me to buy it. The 1.5 billion round of financing in the C round seems high, but it is actually in the middle. There will be two rounds of DE later. If these two rounds can be completed smoothly, then the shares in your hands will probably be worth 200 to 300 million. Of course, there are certain risks."

"After all, no one can guarantee that Feiyangyang will be able to successfully complete the two rounds of financing of DE."

"If you sell it now, it will be a real profit of 90 million. It depends on your choice."

"I believe in Brother Chen."

Zhao Liying said very seriously. This money was unexpected.

At the beginning, she absolutely did not expect Feiyangyang to be so smooth.

Wherever it is opened, it will be popular.

There is no hot pot city rival of the same level.

The reputation of low price and high quality has also made it receive great praise from the customer base.

This is a very positive image for her as a spokesperson.

Chen Pingsheng nodded: "Okay, then you wait a little longer, don't worry. Once Feiyangyang is successfully listed, the cash-out will definitely bring more benefits."

"Just take a look at this contract first. I plan to give you 10% of the profit. Once Hua Qiangu can be broadcast, it should not be a problem to make hundreds of millions of dollars from its derivative products."

Zhao Liying feels that her income at Tencent is really too high.

It is far more than her actual income as an actor. According to her current status, she can only get a salary of 12 million yuan for a play at most.

This is still the best situation. After all, Hua Qiangu has not been broadcast yet, and she is only a second-tier star.

But the money she actually made this year is far more than those first-tier stars.

Whether it is Feiyangyang, the 20 million bonus she received before, or the big contract now.

Brother Chen has never treated her unfairly when making money.

It has even exceeded expectations.

"Ding, harvest employee Zhao Liying's happiness point +1."

Zhao Liying signed the contract without even looking at it, and Chen Pingsheng arranged for her to go to the Magic City.

Tong Zelan is over there.

She is going to Shanghai to cooperate with Tong Zelan to shoot promotional videos for various official websites.

The genuine publicity and promotion of those peripheral products will also be personally responsible by her, the protagonist.

Celebrities, they travel all over the world.

It doesn't take too long to take a plane there, and it's good to meet Tong Zelan.

The resources that woman has are simply incomparable to those in the entertainment industry.

If she agrees to get international endorsements for Zhao Liying, she can easily get several big-name luxury goods.

That woman has the ability.

Zhao Liying also left him a script, which is a TV series with a foodie personality that Chen Pingsheng has always been thinking about.

He used the analysis function of the entertainment industry to take a look, and it was very good.

The return on investment is as high as 250%.

The total investment is expected to be 120 million yuan, and three companies have jointly completed the 80 million yuan of financing. The last 40 million yuan will be made up by him alone.

Zhao Liying immediately went to Shanghai with the funds and contracts.

As soon as he left, his Tengying Entertainment was immediately free again.

"Bai Xin."

It's not his responsibility as a boss to call the secretary to take care of things.

"Uncle, I'm here."

Bai Xin knocked on the door and came in.

Chen Pingsheng asked her: "What's going on? Didn't we post a message online saying that we can invest in movies? Why haven't any people come to us?"

Bai Xin laughed awkwardly: "Uncle, isn't it because we rejected all the people who came to us for investment in the first half of the year? No one has invested in half a year. Who would come to us now?"

"They are all flops, so I definitely can't invest in them."

Chen Pingsheng said: "I don't care, you have three days to find me some good movie scripts, your boss wants to invest in movies."

"Huh?"

Bai Xin was so confused, she was just a secretary, where could she find movie scripts?

But the boss had given her an order, so she had to follow it.

When Bai Xin went out, she was in a state of panic.

She secretly posted videos on WeChat Moments, and she had added many directors in the entertainment industry over the past year.

Some of them were filming movies, but of course more were filming TV series.

Sitting in her secretary chair, Bai Xin edited a small copy.

"Notice, our boss has a lot of money and is easy to talk to recently. Anyone who has a good movie script but lacks money to shoot it can come to me. There is no upper limit for investment, and there is money. 》

After the copy was edited, she also posted eight beautiful selfies of her, and finally added the big logo of Tengying Entertainment.

Ten minutes later, there were many likes, but no one wanted to invest.

Bai Xin was not in a hurry.

An hour passed and still nothing happened. Now she was really anxious.

The boss finally assigned a task. If she couldn't complete anything, wouldn't she look useless?

She just sent a large group message.

The content of the group message was simple and crude.

I heard that you are short of money for filming a movie? It happens that our Tengying has plenty of money, come over.

Ha... She is really smart, she can come up with such a good plan.

Now there are more people replying.

Director Zhang: "Who told you that I am short of money? I won't come to you even if I don't have money."

Director Li: "Your Tengying is a scam company. So many people went to your boss, but he didn't invest in any of them."

Director Huang: "Bah, I gave such a good project to you, but you also rejected it. I will never come to Tengying again."

All negative reviews.

The results of the first half of the year are destined to be swallowed by them.

Brother Teng: "Your family wants to invest in movies? Can I, a skit actor, invest in the protagonist?"

Hehe... savior.

She didn't know whether she could invest or not, so she had to save her job first.

Bai Xin knew him, a famous skit actor.

He was very funny.

If she hadn't been the secretary of the president of Tengying, she would never have been able to communicate with such a first-line skit comedian.

"Yes, it must be possible. As long as you, Brother Teng, play the leading role, our boss will invest no matter how much money you want."

Let's trick him in first, Bai Xin thought.

Brother Teng: "Send the location, I'll fly over overnight."

Ha... Mission accomplished.

Bai Xin laughed.

The next day, Chen Pingsheng met this famous skit partner in China.

The man is Shen Teng, and the woman is Mali.

He didn't know that these two were tricked by Bai Xin.

They are very influential in the skit world, but they can only be regarded as pure newcomers in the film industry.

"Hey, Brother Chen, the script we are shooting this time is about rebirth. It tells the story of a man who becomes rich after rebirth and finds his beloved Bai Yueguang only to find out that his wife who has shared the joys and sorrows with him is his true love."

"Brother Chen, do you think this script sounds amazing?"

He doesn't know whether it is amazing or not, as he can only watch two movies in a year.

This is the first time I use the movie analysis function, I hope it will be a good start.

Chen Pingsheng thought so simply.

"Movie analysis: Charlotte's trouble."

"Target analysis in progress, please wait."

One second, two seconds, three seconds passed...

A row of golden words appeared in front of him again.

"Target analysis completed."

"Movie name: Charlotte's trouble."

"Filming period: three months."

"Total investment: 50 million."

"Return on investment: 900%."

? ? ?

A movie with an investment of 50 million is at most a medium-sized production.

A return on investment of 900% means 9 times.

According to the film producer, it usually takes 33% of the total box office after it is released.

In other words, this low-budget movie may eventually achieve a box office performance of between 1.4 billion and 1.5 billion.

A hit, an absolute hit.

Shen Teng saw that he had been silent, and suddenly he was a little nervous.

First of all, he had to admit that he had no box office appeal.

But as long as he could save his face, the boss of Tengying should be easy to fool.

"Brother Chen, such a good script can at least sell 1 billion, and you will never be disappointed if you invest in it."

"How much do you want?"

Chen Pingsheng pinched his nose. Bai Xin really found him a pair of lucky stars.

I must reward him later.

Shen Teng was a little confused by his sudden scene.

"Not much, not much, 50 million is enough for this movie. If it is convenient for you, you can invest half, and I will find a way to get the remaining half."

"No, I invested all 50 million."

"By the way..." Chen Pingsheng asked curiously: "Have you ever thought about switching to my Tengying Entertainment?"
