Chapter 169 This Category I Start (Ch 169)

Qi Jia was stunned. No wonder Chen Yuwen looked hesitant at first.

It turns out that the problem lies here: there are dishes, but no kitchen!

Qi Jia held his chin, looked at the script thoughtfully, tapped the sofa with two fingers, and said nothing.

Seeing this, Chen Yuwen thought that Qi Jia was embarrassed by this request.

After all, this kind of thing of selling favors is really hard to do. If it works, it’s better to be fine. But if you lose money,

By then, although the investors will not blame Qi Jia openly, it may be difficult to say in private.

Just when she was about to give up, Qi Jia suddenly said,

“Sister, how much do you think it would cost to film this script?”

“I think about 30 million is enough.” Chen Yuwen thought for a while and said,

Another advantage of youth films is that they do not require huge investments like other genres, which are generally around tens of millions.

If it exceeds 100 million, it is definitely a big investment!

Qi Jia nodded. Chen Yuwen’s estimate was similar to what he thought.

He picked up the script again and read it for a few minutes. Suddenly, as if he had made up his mind, he said,

“I’ve invested in this project!”

At first, Chen Yuwen thought Qi Jia was agreeing to help introduce investors, so she answered without thinking.

“Okay, it would be great if you’re willing. I’ll just…”

He got stuck when he was halfway through his sentence. Then he suddenly looked up at Qi Jia with his eyes wide open, and said in disbelief,

“Public shrimp? You mean you want to invest yourself?”

Because of excitement, her voice became a little shrill when she spoke.

Just as she finished speaking, the assistant pushed the door open and poked her head in, asking in confusion: “Sister, didn’t you say you can’t smoke in the office? Look, the smoke alarm is ringing!”

“Go away!” Chen Yuwen angrily drove the assistant away and looked at Qi Jia suspiciously: “Tell me what you think?”

Qi Jia sorted out his thoughts and said,

“I really feel that this book has a high chance of becoming a hit, and the investment amount is just within our capabilities.

If successful, then we can at least complete a quarter of the bet between us and Sister Mi.

Besides, I have confidence in this script and the market for youth films.

Even if it doesn’t become popular, we won’t lose money on the 30 million investment.”

After listening to Qi Jia’s reasons, combined with his previous analysis of youth films,

Chen Yuwen couldn’t help but nodded, and then she said with some concern,

“You are right, but I am worried that if you fail, it will have a bad impact on your reputation.

After all, the last time you watched “A River of Sorrow” it had a great impact on you.”

Qi Jia smiled. He had considered this situation.

“Sister, this kind of thing is hard to say for sure. After all, if you don’t dip dumplings in vinegar, you may be arrested and sentenced.

Who knows what will happen in the future? When the opportunity comes, we must seize it and do it first, whether it succeeds or not. “

“And” Qi Jia took a sip of water and continued,

“Sadness and this movie are both youth films, but they are different.

The reason why sadness was criticized was that it already had a large number of loyal readers.

Since ancient times, there has never been an adapted work that has not been criticized.

Not to mention that before the release, the distributor also carried out extensive publicity to restore the novel.

The other thing is that the story it presents to the audience is too dark and depressing. Who wouldn’t curse after reading such a story? “

Qi Jia became more and more excited as he spoke. He felt that he had been brainwashed by himself. Now his mind was filled with thoughts that this script would definitely be a hit.

“But your friend’s script is different. First of all, although its ending is open-ended,

In the end, the heroine traveled back in time to save the hero, but at least the ending was good, and it made people feel warm in their hearts.

After all, reality is a mess, who doesn’t want to have a sweet love in the movies?

Secondly, although it is also adapted from a novel, it is just a small story in the whole book.

The reader filter is not strong, so most viewers will not connect the two together.”

After listening to this, Chen Yuwen followed Qi Jia’s example and picked up the script.

After looking over it for a long time, I asked tentatively,

“So, are you sure you want to vote?”

Qi Jia nodded firmly. The studio is centered around Qi Jia.

After seeing that he was sure, Chen Yuwen quickly followed his thoughts and nodded immediately, saying,

“I’ll call him now and ask him how much the copyright fee is?”

Before Chen Yuwen made her call, Qi Jia’s phone rang first.

Seeing who was calling, Qi Jia got up and went outside, answered the phone and asked with a smile,

“Hey Director Zeng, what can I do for you?”

Zeng Guoxiang laughed from the other end of the phone: “It’s nothing big, the movie is coming out next Friday night, I was wondering if you have time to attend the road show then?”

So that’s what happened. Qi Jia thought about it. After all, this was his first movie as the lead actor, so he should be present.

So he said directly: “No problem, but I’m quite busy recently, so I may only be able to attend the roadshow in Shanghai.”

Hearing Qi Jia’s agreement, Zeng Guoxiang laughed even louder.

“Haha, I understand. It’s great that you can come. Okay, I’ll send you the address of the roadshow now.”

At this time, Qi Jia saw Chen Yuwen sticking his head out of the office door and making a six gesture to him.

This was the price offered by his friend. Six million was not a lot, so Qi Jia didn’t think much about it and nodded in agreement.

Why not 60 million? It’s simple. I don’t have that much money.

If it was really 60 million, Chen Yuwen wouldn’t have needed to ask him. Similarly, if it was 600,000, there would be no need to ask him either.

Qi Jia was eager to know the result, so he chatted with Zeng Guoxiang briefly and then hung up the phone.

He forwarded the address he sent to his assistant and asked her to write it down for him, then quickly returned to Chen Yuwen’s office.

“How did the conversation go?”

Seeing that Chen Yuwen had hung up the phone, Qi Jia couldn’t wait to ask.

“Six million. He agreed. I asked the legal department to draft the contract and we will sign it soon.”

“That’s good, that’s good.” Qi Jia breathed a sigh of relief, but still a little worried and asked, “You really won’t change your mind?”

Chen Yuwen rolled his eyes, obviously unhappy that he doubted his ability, and said lightly,

“Of course! He has been pursuing me since college, what do you think?”

Qi Jia was shocked, covered his mouth, and said in disbelief,

“Oh my, this is really like the sea that cannot be measured, this is really like the human heart.

I didn’t expect that you are such an expert in fish farming!”

Chen Yuwen was almost so angry at Qi Jia that she died on the spot. She grabbed a bag of missing teeth on the table and threw it at him.

“Get lost! I told him a long time ago that I don’t like him. Do you know what he said?”

Qi Jia grabbed the missing tooth and asked curiously, “What do you mean?”

Chen Yuwen thought for a moment and said, “This is what he said.” At this point, she suddenly couldn’t help but burst out laughing: “My love for you has nothing to do with you.”

“Well, I’m still a philosophical fish.” Qi Jia shrugged and said with a smile: “No wonder he can write such a pure love script.”

After laughing, Chen Yuwen returned to work and said,

“Now that the script has been purchased, tell me what you are going to do next?”
