Entertainment, I just like making movies

The hotel where the crew stayed.

Inside a luxurious lounge on the top floor.

Fang Ziheng sat on the main seat with a calm expression, holding the teacup and tasting it slowly.

To his left, four Tengxun executives sat.

Ren Yuxin, Chen Wu, Sun Zhong, and a professional woman in her early thirties.

Chen Wu is an old acquaintance, the CEO of Tengxun Pictures and the future helmsman of Tengxun Pan Entertainment Group.

Sun Zhong is the president of Tengxun Video, and Fang Ziheng has met him a few times.

It was the first time that Ren Yuxin and the professional woman met.

The woman's name is Gao Li, the marketing director of Tengxun Interactive Entertainment Business Group, and the senior vice president of Tengxun Pictures.

Ren Yuxin's background is even greater. He is the president of Tengxun Interactive Entertainment Business Group and Chen Wu's immediate boss.

Tengxun Video does not belong to the interactive entertainment business group, but to the Tengxun OMG online media business group.

At present, Tengxun's pan-entertainment group is not yet complete. In the last life, it was not until 2018 that Tengxun re-adjusted its organizational structure.

Tengxun Pictures and Tengxun Video were both placed in the newly established platform and content business group.

In other words, it was not until 2018 that Tengxun’s pan-entertainment industry gradually improved.

There are still five years left from now!

The four of them sat on a couch, leaning their heads together and carefully flipping through a stack of scripts bound on A4 paper.

To Fang Ziheng's right, Andy occupied a sofa alone and acted as a tea art lady.

Opposite the mahogany coffee table, there was a middle-aged man in his forties sitting.

The middle-aged man is none other than Liu Zhiping, the executive director of Tengxun’s board of directors and the president of the group.

In 2011, "The Secret of the Dragon" became a hit.

Liu Zhiping once took Chen Wu and Sun Zhong to visit Fang Ziheng under the assignment of Shencheng Ma.

It's called a visit, but it's actually just blocking the door.

He wanted to take advantage of the local convenience and use the power of Tengxun to overwhelm Fang Ziheng and let him open up Hengyu Media Group to inject capital into Tengxun.

That time, Fang Ziheng not only didn't grab the other party, but also taught a few people a good lesson and created a 300 billion entertainment industry empire.

In just two years, China's entertainment output value has increased day by day, and the 300 billion output value has really arrived.

Whether it's Ali or Teng Xun, this big cake hangs three feet from the curtain.

After learning that Hengyu Media was willing to open up investment, Liu Zhiping asked Shencheng Ma again, hoping to win over Fang Ziheng in one fell swoop.

This meeting is completely different from 2011!

At that time, Hengyu Media had just gotten on the right track. Although there was no shortage of funds, it was not as arrogant as it is now.

Faced with Liu Zhiping's blocking, Fang Ziheng could only retort with words that were deceptive and bragging.

It's different now.

Hengyu Media has laid a solid foundation, except that it will take some time for Hengyu Cinema to be rolled out across the country.

All the group's businesses are integrated online and offline.

With abundant funds and massive creative resources, it produces up to ten blockbuster movies, twenty or thirty well-received TV series, and variety shows every year, completely covering the entire film and television industry and occupying at least 39% of the market share.

Hengyu Media exclusively holds two-fifths of the so-called 300 billion entertainment industry value data!

No mainland film and television company can compare with it, not even a collision.

Whether it is Huayi Brothers, the first Chinese-speaking company, or a large entertainment group with a valuation of tens of billions established by Tengxun and Alibaba, they are all weak chickens in the face of Hengyu Media.

At this time, Fang Ziheng was confident enough to face any Chinese private enterprise.

As long as he doesn't want to, no one can rely on corporate power to oppress him.

Ali can't do it. Hangcheng Ma doesn't even give him face when he comes in person!

Neither can Tengxun, let alone the five top Tengxun executives who came to visit today.

Even if he were to visit Shencheng again and meet Shencheng Ma, it would be impossible for the other party to send people to block the door and invite him.

Not only Fang Ziheng understood this different change, but also Liu Zhiping, who was sitting across from him with a gentle expression.

Not to mention Hengyu Media's strong position in the industry, Fang Ziheng's net worth alone is far behind him.

If Teng Xun wants to cooperate, the only way is to treat him as an equal, or even respectful!

"The young people across the street are not what they used to be."

"The former international director has now become an absolute giant and tycoon-level figure in the film and television industry."

Liu Zhiping sighed in his heart and took the initiative to pick up the tea cup and shake it in respect.

Fang Ziheng gave a slight greeting, brought the tea cup to his mouth and took a sip.

"Director Liu, how many days can you stay in Hanjiang this time? Hanjiang is becoming increasingly prosperous and there are countless tourist attractions. If you are not in a hurry, you can spend two more days."

"Thank you, Director Fang. Liu is born with a hard life and will have to return to Shencheng tomorrow."

Liu Zhiping smiled hoarsely, shook his head slowly, pointed at Chen Wu and Gao Li, who were still reading the script, and said, "Mr. Chen and Gao will stay to follow up on the film cooperation."

The implication is that he came here today just for the shares of Hengyu Media.

As for film projects, they are not within his scope of responsibility.

Fang Ziheng smiled understandingly. As the president of Tengxun headquarters, it is not an exaggeration to say that Liu Zhiping has everything on his plate.

Naturally, I won’t focus on a mere movie.

Even if this movie is very likely to be a global hit, the other party does not need to do it personally, just keep paying attention.

Just like the last celebration party for "The Secret of the Dragon", Hangcheng Ma and Shencheng Ma came to support them.

Originally, the two of them just wanted to meet Fang Ziheng, briefly talk about the prosperity of the film market, and then propose investing in a project controlled by Hengyu.

Erma won't care about the subsequent operations, and the people below will handle it.

But at that time, Fang Ziheng moved his two horses together and took Wang Zhongjun and others to move elsewhere, creating a time lag.

Erma didn't have time to call his subordinates over, so he could only stage a scene of grabbing food with Wang Zhongjun and Yu Dong.

And because Erma maintained the reserve of a big boss, Hengyu's main control project in 2012 was snatched away by other film and television companies.

Ali and Teng Xun only got some soup and water.

Fortunately for Alibaba, Alibaba Pictures Group will be listed in October next year. Hangcheng Ma's move can also be regarded as bringing back the performance of two movies for Alibaba Pictures.

Teng Xun is embarrassed!

Tengxun Pictures had just been established at that time, and there was no trace of the road to listing.

Not to mention the premium of tens of millions of soft girl coins was wasted, and a lot of publicity resources were also used.

Of course!

It was precisely because Shencheng Ma came to support him and made a premium investment in two movies with Fang Ziheng face to face that he gained the goodwill of Hengyu Media in the future.

Otherwise, Fang Ziheng would be too full to pay attention to Teng Xun!

A big dog owner must have the consciousness of a big dog owner!

How could it be possible to enter the front-line production field so easily without paying some tuition fees.

More than half an hour passed.

After reading the script, Ren Yuxin, Chen Wu, Sun Zhong and Gao Li were filled with surprises and smiled happily.

After being overjoyed, Chen Wu still didn't believe himself. He raised the script and looked at Fang Ziheng and asked tentatively: "Director Fang, is this script really for our Tengxun Pictures?"

The script was so good that he had the illusion that Hengyu Media was deceiving them.

Fang Ziheng said nothing. He was the chairman, and the purpose of his appearance today was not for a movie project.

Andy, who was sitting on the sofa on the right, flashed his eyes, put down the tea set in his hand and said appropriately: "Of course, this book is Hengyu's sincerity!"

"The script was jointly created by Director Fang and Hengyu Literary Editorial Department, with a total investment of 500 million soft sister coins. The scenes are unprecedentedly grand, and the plot is bizarre and suspenseful. It is the first world-class production that spans 5,000 years of Chinese civilization and runs through ancient and modern times!"

Andy looked cold and arrogant, with a strong sense of pride in his words!

While talking, she took the script from Chen Wu and carefully put it into the black handbag next to her.

When the four of them saw the script being put away, their faces showed reluctance.

In the process of putting it into the black handbag, the name of the script on the 4A paper flashed by, and Liu Zhiping read it clearly.

"Immortality"!

Is this the title of the movie?

Just a name is incomparably majestic, filled with fairy spirit, making people curious and longing for it.

It seems that Fang Ziheng did show full sincerity.

Liu Zhiming's mind was wandering and he looked at his four subordinates, waiting for their decision.

With an investment of 500 million, I wonder how much share Tengxun can occupy?

How many?

Of course, you can take up as much as you can. Isn’t it too little?

Ren Yuxin, Chen Wu, Sun Zhong, and Gao Li were all conquered by the script of "Immortality", and they barely had the word "want" written on their faces.

Without much discussion, the leader of the four, Ren Yuxin, spoke up, stretched out five fingers and said loudly: "Mr. An, Tengxun wants this book, and the 500 million production fund will be fully funded by Tengxun Pictures and Tengxun Video." Invest and only occupy 55% of the share!”

"The only requirement is that the script be directed by Fang Donglai, and the main business department of Hengyu Media will be responsible for the production!"

Oops..

As soon as these words came out, Liu Zhiping jumped a little!

Damn it!

Lao Ren, if you have an appetite, you can throw out 500 million soft girl coins without even taking a breath, and you only have 55% of the share.

You think I, the CEO, don’t exist, I don’t even look at you!

Liu Zhiping smiled bitterly in his heart. He could tell that after reading the script, Ren Yuxin became a little obsessed and easily revealed Teng Xun's trump card.

But he couldn't do anything. He had already agreed with the four people before he came. The film project was decided by the four people. He was just a spectator throughout the whole process.

Teng Xun also showed the utmost sincerity in the conditions proposed by Ren Yuxin, which is equivalent to spending 500 million to buy 55% of the proceeds of "Immortal".

500 million soft girl coins!

It is almost one-tenth of his Liu Zhiping's net worth.

Will Hengyu Media agree?

Liu Zhiping glanced at Fang Ziheng, who was still calm, and secretly guessed.

Now, he is far less wealthy than he would be 10 years later, and he has not been promoted to the rank of tens of billions of rich people.

It will be until 2020, after 15 years of taking charge of Tengxun headquarters, that he will be selected as the 35th on the 2020 Hong Kong Island Top 50 Rich List with a net worth of HK$17.9 billion.

Just as Liu Zhiping was waiting for the results and Ren Yuxin and Chen Wu were looking forward to it, Andy dropped another surprise for them.

"I forgot to tell you that "Immortality" is not only Hengyu's first movie involving the theme of immortality, but also the cornerstone of Hengyu's mythological series of movies.

With the innovation of film technology, China's massive myths and legends can be put on the big screen, providing Chinese people with wonderful legendary feasts.

Because of its special beginning, "Immortality" has been designated by the Hengyu Literary Editorial Department as one of the branches that will open the mythical series of movie universes! "

Andy talked eloquently, his cold eyes moving on several people, and finally firmly rejected Ren Yuxin's offer.

"Sorry, Mr. Ren, Hengyu will only give up 35% of the film's share at most, and will also give up the film's joint distribution rights in the mainland!"

"As for the price... 300 million, if Teng Xun is interested, 300 million soft sister coins can win 35% of the share of "Immortal"!"

At the end of the speech, Andy's expression calmed down, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he raised his white onion-like knuckles to give an OK gesture to the four people opposite him.

What?

35%!

Too little!

Before Ren Yuxin could speak, Chen Wu and female executive Gao Li, who were opposite, made excited noises.

"Mr. An, you can't do this. We have agreed before that the film will be handed over to us, Teng Xun, and we will take the majority of the investment."

"Yes, Mr. An, the 500 million soft girls are real. Hengyu can own 45% of the movie's revenue without paying a penny. No other film and television company is as generous as our Tengxun."

No matter how much the two of them tried to persuade, Andy refused and put a hand on the black handbag.

That means, don’t even think about it!

She made it very clear that "Immortality" is not just a simple costume blockbuster, but also a legendary masterpiece that spans ancient and modern times.

It would be no exaggeration to say that this book is the first of its kind in the mythical series of movies. How could it be possible for Teng Xun to occupy the main control position?

At that time, who owns the copyright?

What should I do if Teng Xun wants to get involved in the subsequent film development?

To be honest, if it weren't for the purpose of showing sincerity, it would appeal to Liu Zhiping and Shencheng Ma who was hiding behind the scenes.

Heng Yu will never come up with the script of "Immortality". Even if Fang Ziheng is beaten to death, he can't use this script to cooperate with Teng Xun!

Absolutely not!

But Teng Xun has already taken the bait.

The four people, Ren Yuxin and others, looked even more excited after hearing that "Immortal" is one of the branches developed based on the mythological series of movies.

Continue to increase investment and increase the share of the film, and will not let go.

"Mr. An, look at this, in addition to paying for the filming, we also have another condition. We will bear all the publicity resources before and after the movie is released.

No matter how much publicity resources Hengyu Media invests, we will return them in full in soft sister coins when the time comes! "

"Yes, we can also mobilize resources in Southeast Asia to provide additional promotional resources for the film in many places in Asia!"

joke!

It’s just that I don’t know the inside story of “Immortality”.

Now that they know it, Teng Xun must win the project.

In this way, one party vowed to take over the control of the movie, while the other party firmly disagreed.

The cooperation between the two parties has reached a stalemate!

Fang Ziheng saw the right moment and coughed lightly: "Okay, we can discuss the details of the movie cooperation later, but we'll stop here today!"

"Director Liu, let's talk about the cooperation between Tengxun headquarters and Hengyu Media!"

He did it on purpose, using the movie to manipulate the subsequent discussions.

Although a movie won't have much effect, it's okay. Ren Yuxin and Chen Wu are still in the lounge and they will help.

Liu Zhiping was slightly taken aback. He didn't expect Fang Ziheng to be so direct and straightforward, and stopped the follow-up before the matter was even finished.

But he was very human after all. He understood the opponent's plan instantly and thought of a counterattack immediately.

He moved his sitting posture, put down the tea cup in his hand, and said with a smile: "No problem, Director Fang, how about we find another place to discuss in detail?"

"That's not necessary. None of the people here are outsiders. Let's just talk here!"

Fang Ziheng's eyes narrowed and he immediately refused to change venues.

subsequently

He didn't wait for Liu Zhiping to react, stared at the other person and spoke again.

"Director Liu, let's open the skylight and tell the truth. Hengyu Media Group is Fang's favorite.

Tengxun wants to inject capital, Alibaba wants to inject capital, Wanda Group, and major domestic and foreign investment banks all want to inject capital.

I didn't look for anyone else, but I looked for Teng Xun alone. I think Director Ma and Director Liu felt Fang's sincerity.

Fang can give up 20% of the shares of Hengyu Media, depending on what Teng Xun uses to replace it. "

"Let's talk first. Fang is not short of money. If Teng Xun still has the same conditions as before, then let's not waste time. We might as well play a table of mahjong while the time is still early for fun!"

When he said the last sentence, Fang Ziheng leaned back, showing a look like I had limited time, so I had to act quickly and stop talking nonsense.

In his heart, Fang Ziheng was also guessing Teng Xun's bottom line.

What price will the other party offer?

You know, Alibaba’s Hangcheng Ma has already expressed its willingness to exchange Alipay shares.

Where is Shencheng Ma!

Will it be exchanged for WeChat shares?

Judging from the financial reports disclosed in the previous life, although WeChat is a product of Tengxun, when WeChat opened the payment system, it was inevitable to learn from Alipay and take several steps in financing.

Tengxun headquarters ultimately only held 56% of WeChat shares.

In addition, the little horse is much more carefree than his 'big brother', the big horse, and he always likes to touch the big horse's shoulders to cross the river.

Thinking about it, Xiao Ma had already heard some rumors in advance, otherwise he wouldn't have sent someone to the Han River to talk to him.

Let’s see how courageous Xiao Ma can be this time!
