That afternoon, news of Su Yu setting up a production for the new drama "xiao ao jianghu" quickly spread.
Tianxing Entertainment's wuxia television series were highly anticipated by the outside world, with countless film and television companies eyeing them covetously.
Although television series have long production cycles and relatively lower profits, they offer stability.
As long as a television station or video platform is willing to purchase them, they generally won't lose money.
Even if they don't make money from the first broadcast, they can recoup costs during the second rerun.
What's more, this was a wuxia drama produced by Tianxing Entertainment, a golden brand!
Not only could it make money, but its ability to promote actors was top-notch!
As long as one could participate, even if it was just to get a piece of the pie, it would be quite good.
Previously, there had been no opportunity, but now, Su Yu and his team seemed genuinely intent on opening up investment, so various major film, television, and entertainment companies responded enthusiastically.
Furthermore, on the morning of the 28th, they all gathered at Tianxing Entertainment.
This time, not only were Haiyang, Qunxing, Huaxia Star, and Tianshen Entertainment present, but also other film and television companies from the mainland, such as Yangguang and Enlight Media, and even Tengfei Video sent representatives, clearly wanting to get involved in this project.
When Liu Xialai made the budget this time, he truly held nothing back.
The final total cost reached 300 million chinese yuan!
"The production cost for this 'xiao ao jianghu' is 300 million chinese yuan, and the production will still be handled by Director Liu, Yuan Da, and the original team, so the quality is absolutely guaranteed.
The 300 million cost will be divided into ten shares, each worth 30 million!
Tianxing Entertainment will take 3 shares, and for the rest, who among you is interested?"
Su Yu was someone who disliked formalities.
After the representatives and bosses of the various film and television companies arrived and took their seats, he went straight to the point.
Since everyone was here for a slice of the investment pie, it was better to be direct.
And a 30 million share was actually a threshold.
For companies that only planned to do small-scale business, it was a deterrent!
"Tengfei Film and Television wants two shares!" The representative from Tengfei Film and Television was the first to raise his hand and respond.
He had to support Su Yu's event!
Since they were investing money, shouldn't they be prioritized for the online copyright on their video platform?
60 million was nothing; investing in some unstable projects that ended up failing was less appealing than clearly following Su Yu.
"Haiyang Entertainment wants one share!"
"Our Qunxing also wants one share!"
"Huaxia Star also wants one!"
"Count Tianshen Entertainment in for one share!"
After being preempted by Tengfei Film and Television, the others also spoke up, unwilling to be outdone.
They looked as if they were afraid they would miss out if they spoke too slowly.
As for why they only wanted one share?
30 million, not 30 yuan!
How much liquid capital did their companies have?
If they invested everything in this TV series, what about their future?
Of course, if this were a movie written and directed by Su Yu himself, then they would follow, even if it meant selling everything they owned!
Movies were where the big money was made!
Of course, that also depended on whose project it was.
"Me! Enlight Media wants one share!" The bosses of the other new small and medium-sized companies had never seen such a scene.
It was as if they weren't scrambling for a 30 million share, but for 3 yuan a jin of eggs.
It was a good thing the person from Enlight Media reacted quickly; if he had been in a daze for a moment longer, this last share would also have been gone!
"Then I thank everyone for your support.
There will be another movie project needing investment in September.
Companies that secured shares today, I will notify you in advance then.
Everyone, please go sign the contracts!"
After simply and happily resolving the 300 million investment shares, Su Yu casually spoke words that made the eyes of the companies who didn't get shares burn with fury.
What the heck! Why didn't you say so earlier?
Why didn't you say so earlier?
If you had said earlier that investing in the TV series was a stepping stone, they would have followed, even if they had to take out loans!
However, now it was too late for everything!
And the boss of Enlight Media, who had snatched the last share, was so happy that his molars were visible.
This 30 million investment was too worthwhile.
He just didn't know what kind of movie project it would be in September.
The outside world hadn't heard anything about it?
"By the way, actors from the investing companies can participate in auditions based on their strength.
Tianxing Entertainment will ensure the fairness of the auditions!
The capable will rise, the weak will fall.
Even if you have invested, I do not wish to see you dictate production.
The quality of the work is the bottom line that Tianxing Entertainment upholds."
As Su Yu left, he reminded them in a serious tone.
This also served as a wake-up call for the bigwigs of several companies who were about to become overly complacent.
That's right, this was Tianxing Entertainment, and they were cooperating with Su Yu.
Their usual tactics clearly wouldn't work with Su Yu.
They could be 100% sure that if they dared to cause any trouble during filming, Su Yu would definitely kick them out!
And those who hadn't secured shares would be very happy to step in with their cash.
Investment? When had Su Yu's works ever worried about investment?
On September 31st, Su Yu and his entourage embarked on their journey to Xiangjiang.
From the moment they disembarked, the paparazzi in Xiangjiang, like sharks smelling blood, closely watched Su Yu, their cameras never leaving his figure.
The first hot news after Su Yu's arrival in Xiangjiang was that the two Heavenly Kings, Liu Furong and Jacky Cheung, personally and warmly welcomed him at the airport.
This scene greatly shocked many fans and the media, demonstrating Su Yu's influence in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry.
Subsequently, everyone was surprised to find that Su Yu did not check into a hotel but instead directly stayed in Liu Furong's luxurious mansion in Xiangjiang.
Such treatment was not something ordinary mainland celebrities and artists could enjoy.
Although the current Xiangjiang entertainment industry was not as glorious as in the past, in some aspects, they still held a certain prejudice against mainland celebrities.
Of course, Su Yu had long since transcended this prejudice with his own strength, not falling within their "chain of contempt."
Especially after Su Yu filmed "hidden war," which could be called the savior of Xiangjiang cinema, countless Xiangjiang filmmakers sincerely wished that Su Yu was a local Xiangjiang celebrity.
Su Yu's arrival in Xiangjiang that night did not cause further sensation.
Since he entered Liu Furong's mansion, he had not gone out.
For a young man, being able to resist the temptations of Xiangjiang's vibrant nightlife truly made the paparazzi, who were eager to dig up big news, feel quite speechless.
However, the next day, when the grand press conference for the start of filming for "infernal affairs" was held, the entire Xiangjiang entertainment industry was completely shaken by the big stir created jointly by Huaxia Star and Tianshen Entertainment!
To truly show off their muscle, Huaxia Star and Tianshen Entertainment invited all the notable celebrity bigwigs in Xiangjiang to lend their support.
Outside the venue, they even set up a hundred-meter red carpet!
Hua Qiang and Li Shoucheng might not be bigwigs in front of Su Yu.
But in the eyes of Xiangjiang celebrities and artists, they were absolutely untouchable existences.
So, with a command from the "bigwigs," everyone who should have come, and those who shouldn't have, all came.
When Su Yu, Liu Furong, and Jacky Cheung arrived at the scene, they were also speechless at such a grand display.
