Chapter 458: Liquidation? Hedge!
Before Yi Xiaoshan could say anything, the agent's eyes lit up. Passed the audition?
No need to face the camera? No need to put on makeup?
This kind of audition feels a bit random.
Three movies in three years, 30 million, which means 10 million a year in salary. The agent is very satisfied with the salary. It turns out that the richest man is very generous.
But it’s been too long, and of course as an agent, this is when I have to play a role.
"Mr. Chu, Xiaoshan is very happy to be able to participate in the War Dragon Project, but I still have some questions about the contract."
Chu Hang looked at the woman and laughed: "What's your question? Are you dissatisfied with the pay?"
Chu Hang knew that the agent was a vampire. Just like doing business here, the agent was a businessman. The difference between them and ordinary businessmen was that their products were celebrities.
This means that celebrities are just tools!
The agent nodded: "It's mainly about time. Three years is too long. I think with Xiaoshan's ability, he will have more than 10 million in a year."
Yi Xiaoshan was a little surprised that his agent was asking for a price for him. That was fine, but he should also look at who was sitting opposite him.
This is the richest man. He has just become famous and is still a newcomer. He was able to get a movie during his first filming. He thinks the pay is quite high.
Chu Hang glanced at the two of them, but didn't pay attention to his agent and said, "Fifty million, what do you think, Mr. Chu?"
Zhang Feng frowned, and Chu Hang smiled and said, "You should have heard that Dragon Wars is a series of movies."
The agent nodded. There were a lot of speculations about War Dragon outside, but no one thought that this was a series of movies.
Why? Because there are really few domestic series of movies, but Hollywood likes to make series.
As long as the first film in a series is successful, the risks of subsequent ones will be greatly reduced.
But from the perspective of investors, the success of the first film means that the cost of subsequent productions will skyrocket. Chu Hang is not a fool, so he will naturally sign contracts for several films at the beginning to avoid this problem.
After thinking for a while, he looked at his agent and said, "30 million for three years. You don't think I'll pay Xiaoshan 10 million for my first movie, do you?"
The agent was stunned: "Isn't it?"
This is how the agent calculates it. If the pay for one movie is 10 million, then three movies will make exactly 30 million.
"Xiaoshan is a newcomer in the film industry. Which newcomer can ask for so much money? Three million for the first film, eight million for the second, and the rest is for the third. This is just a contract for one film. I don't want to sign anyone. If the film is a big hit, there will be other rewards. If it fails, then the second and third films won't exist, and Xiaoshan won't get the remuneration. We don't make bad films!"
The agent was speechless. Is that so? But the pay of three million for the first film is really not high.
But Yi Xiaoshan is really a newcomer in the film industry.
Chu Hang said this to leave no room for bargaining for the other party. If it's okay, it's okay. If it's not, forget it. A newcomer who has just gained a little popularity dares to ask for 10 million for a movie. What the hell is he thinking?
The price is not that high!
He didn't understand the quotes in the entertainment industry, but he had a rough idea of how much something was worth. Even ten years later, when Yi Xiaoshan became a first-line star with a very good reputation, he still earned tens of millions of dollars. If he came across a good project, he wouldn't charge any money at all. At that time, people pursued art and literature, and what they wanted was status and reputation.
It's just that the project I encountered is hard to describe, it's just that I met the wrong person. Yi Xiaoshan is already very satisfied. He can cooperate with Zhang Feng, so what else does he need? He is just afraid that the agent will make Chu Hang angry.
"Boss Chu, I agree!"
“Well, the first movie has an investment of over 100 million. It’s not that I’m reluctant to spend the money, but more funds need to be spent on film production. When you become famous, the film pay will actually be nothing.” Chu Hang pointed to the picture.
The contract was signed immediately, and the main role was decided. When signing the contract, the agent carefully checked the contract, reading it again and again.
But surprisingly, Chu Hang's contract was a movie contract and did not require Yi Xiaoshan to participate in any commercial performances.
Half a year of military training, confidentiality jump, and sky-high breach of contract conditions.
The compensation for breach of contract is terrifying to look at.
Seeing that the contract was signed, Chu Hang left, and the rest was Zhang Feng's business. Only then did Yi Xiaoshan and the agent have time to talk to Zhang Feng.
They were nervous towards Chu Hang and the other man, but it was different towards Zhang Feng, they were polite.
The agent thought for a moment and asked, "Director Zhang, have you found actors for the other roles in the movie?"
Zhang Feng is a veteran in the circle. As soon as he heard what the other party said, he knew what he meant. He was trying to force someone in.
Yi Xiaoshan is the protagonist, and the other party’s agent must have other stars under him. For a project like Zhanlong, just getting involved in it will be a qualification, and you can say that this is a masterpiece in the future.
"There are still a few roles that have not been decided!"
"I don't know. Can I recommend a few people to you, Director Zhang?"
Zhang Feng nodded. The rest were minor roles. For the sake of the protagonist, he did not refuse. He could still make the decision on the minor roles. This was a matter of personal relationships and was unavoidable.
Chu Hang quickly left the company and went all the way to the villa in Daxing. He had just received news from Zhang Yaolin that crude oil had experienced large fluctuations and was a bit unstable.
Chu Hang subsequently invested a lot of money, including the money borrowed from the business owner, and the entire investment exceeded the terrifying scale of 100 billion. Now the overall profit is still a loss.
When they arrived, Chu Hangfei rushed into the villa, and a group of working dogs were staring at the computer.
Zhang Yaolin's face was extremely dark, with severe dark circles under his eyes, and his anxious mood seemed to be stuck on his face.
From that evening till now, the crude oil market has seen huge fluctuations. The accounts have been losing money since yesterday, and the speed of the loss is frightening. It once caused a myocardial infarction. Today, it has finally stabilized a little.
Chu Hang bet on the decline of crude oil prices, but he only knew the result. He had no idea how it fell or what happened in between.
"Nothing's going on!"
"Last night, crude oil prices soared, breaking through $65, an increase of more than one dollar. We lost more than 64.8 billion yuan on paper. Now it has fallen back to $ and has stabilized for the time being.
"I only lost more than 6 billion. Oh, it's okay, it's okay. I thought I had blown up my account."
Zhang Yaolin was speechless and thought, with such a large amount, it would be difficult to blow up the position, but with a market value of hundreds of billions, the pressure was too great.
"Don't be afraid, it's all learned through practice."
Chu Hang took out the newspaper he bought on the way and read it, then took out his mobile phone and went over the wall to read overseas news. After a long time, he felt that he had found the reason: "The mediation between the overseas people and several countries over there failed. They made a sour speech yesterday, and the oil tycoons did not talk."
Just by looking at what the other party said, Chu Hang didn't feel any sincerity. Uncle Ka didn't care about people from the American Stripes. He was still very tough.
This kind of toughness is more of an impulse, and I don't think the boss will take action just because you don't obey.
As a result, the big boss gave him a stab in the kidney. The oil tycoons took the opportunity to attack, and crude oil continued to plummet.
We have to wait for a while, half a month will be enough, and during this period, the price of crude oil will rise.
“Make a hedge!
Zhang Yaolin breathed a sigh of relief; he had wanted to hedge for a long time.
Be bearish on one side and bullish on the other to offset losses.
