Entertainment, I just like making movies

Wanda Reign Hotel.

Zhou Xingchi had just finished taking a shower and was about to go to the restaurant to have something to eat when he saw his assistant hurriedly pushing the door open.

"What happened?"

Zhou Xingchi put on his clothes and looked at the assistant in a solemn voice.

The assistant has been with him for many years, and he has never been so impatient. Could it be that something big happened?

"Director, Mr. Song from Wanda Film and Television is here and invites you to dinner."

"Come as soon as you come."

Zhou Xingchi was speechless and looked at the assistant angrily.

That's it, why are you panicking?

However, what the assistant said next made Stephen Chow frown.

"Director, in addition to Mr. Song, the heads of other film and television companies have also arrived at the hotel."

"Who's here?"

"Alibaba Pictures Chairman Fan Dong, CEO Zhang Qiang, LeTV Pictures CEO Zhang Zhao, Tengxun Pictures CEO Chen Wu, as well as Hengyu Media Group Vice President Lin Wei and director Guo Fan."

"Push to the street, there are so many people!"

Zhou Xingchi's eyes widened and he cursed something quintessence of Chinese culture in a low voice.

In order to personally interview investors interested in "Mermaid", the news of his arrival in the imperial capital was not kept secret.

One by one interviews, the one with the best price wins!

But so many people came to the door together, which disrupted his plan.

the reason is simple!

He, Zhou Xingchi, wanted to raise the price decently.

call..

Zhou Xingchi took a breath and smiled at his assistant: "Let's go, take me to see them."

People are coming, you can’t turn them away.

Since it's not decent, let's just let go of the money. Anyway, he will never sell his investment share in "Mermaid" at a low price.

Ruihua Hotel, leisure hall on the 10th floor.

A group of directors and executives from film and television companies gathered together, smiling reservedly and talking nonsense.

At this moment, everyone has the same purpose, and everyone is an opponent!

Zhang Qiang and Fan Luyuan sat on the sofa, glanced around, and finally looked at Lin Wei and Guo Fan, wondering: "Chairman, Hengyu has already received the investment, why are you here?"

"Haha, of course it's for the guaranteed release of "Mermaid"!"

Fan Luyuan sneered, easily guessing the purpose of Hengyu and the others blocking the door.

On the way here, he had the same idea in his mind, thinking that after securing the investment share of "Mermaid", he could get the guaranteed distribution of the film in one go.

After looking at it for a few times, Fan Luyuan's heart moved and he whispered: "We will play it by ear. If Zhou Xingchi is the first to make an appointment with Wanda Film and Television, we will follow him."

"clear."

Zhang Qiang's eyes flashed and he nodded.

He knows how to be a dog-skin plaster!

On the other side, two of Wanda's mainland film and television executives, Song Ge, CEO of Wanda Film and Television, and Liu Ge, general manager of Wanda Cinemas, are also secretly sizing up a group of opponents.

Brother Liu was smoking a cigarette, his face was a little unhappy, and he hummed softly: "What's going on with Zhou Xingchi? He agreed to interview us tonight, but why did he invite other people too?"

"No, Director Zhou didn't bring this on purpose."

Song Ge shook his head and said thoughtfully: "Director Zhou's schedule is not kept secret. Everyone wants to invest in "Mermaid", so naturally we met."

"No matter what, we are the first investors to be interviewed. We will try to take all the remaining shares of "Mermaid" later and not give other people a chance."

Brother Liu looked around, put out his cigarette and gritted his teeth.

His words showed strong confidence. Wanda Pictures has the largest theater chain in the country, and even Zhou Xingchi has to give it some face.

Compared with Wanda Film and Television's confidence, Alibaba Pictures is ready to spend money, but Tengxun Pictures and LeTV Pictures are a little bit stubborn.

Chen Wu and Zhang Zhao rushed over as soon as they learned the news, but did not discuss the price with Tengxun headquarters or Jia Yueting.

At this moment, the two of them occupied a corner of the leisure hall and were talking on the phone to the person who was behind the scenes.

Everyone can think of the content of the call with their toes.

Not long after...

Zhou Xingchi brought his assistant to the lounge.

Everyone rushed to greet them and surrounded the two people.

"Hello, Director Zhou."

"Hello, Director Zhou, nice to meet you."

"We just arrived in the imperial capital. Thank you for your hard work, Director Zhou."

Fan Luyuan, Zhang Qiang, Song Ge, Liu Ge, Chen Wu, Zhang Zhao, Lin Wei and Guo Fan were all smiling and gave Zhou Xingchi enough respect.

Zhou Xingchi shook hands with everyone one by one and said with a faint smile: "Everyone, I know why everyone is here. How about we chat as a family."

"No problem, Director Zhou!"

Song Ge blurted out without thinking, then looked at Fan Luyuan and others, and said solemnly: "I'm sorry, everyone, I am the first director Zhou to meet at Wanda Film and Television."

Everyone: "."

If you don't speak up, will you die?

Fan Luyuan, Chen Wu, and Zhang Zhao looked at Song Ge unkindly.

Song Ge didn't care. He stretched out his hand and pointed to a small box on the left side of the lounge. He smiled at Zhou Xingchi and said, "Director Zhou, let's talk inside."

"Everyone, wait a moment."

Zhou Xingchi nodded slightly, smiled at the others, and led his assistant to the box with Song Ge and Liu Ge.

Seeing this, Fan Lu winked at Zhang Qiang, who had been waiting for him in the Yuan Dynasty.

superior!

Zhang Qiang understood instantly and stepped forward to follow the four of them.

As he followed, he spoke plausibly: "Director Zhou, we at Alibaba Pictures come here with the greatest sincerity. No matter what other people's quotations are, please don't rush to decide on a partner first and listen to our Alibaba's quotation. "

"OK."

With a smile in his eyes, Zhou Xingchi walked into the small box first under the gazes of several people.

Immediately, the assistant, Song Ge, and Brother Liu followed.

boom!

The box door closed and the others looked at each other in shock.

Fan Luyuan glared at Zhang Qiang and pursed his lips towards the box.

Then ask again if the meaning is clear: Why don’t you follow me.

The wall cracked and he shrugged awkwardly. How could he have the nerve to follow in this situation?

How shameless!

well.

Fan Luyuan sighed deeply and could only give up.

Shameless, and how much money you can make!

In the small box.

When the four of them arrived, Song Ge didn't waste any time and went straight to the point. He said in a deep voice: "Director Zhou, I hope you can consider our Wanda Film and Television. Looking at the entire Chinese entertainment industry, except for the six major theaters under China Film Group, there is no No company can have such a huge theater chain support as Wanda.

I can guarantee that after the release of "Mermaid", the movie enjoyed the highest proportion of film schedules in the same period.

In addition, Wanda Film and Television can also fully assist "Mermaid" in the post-production marketing and promotion of the film. Wanda can even promise to help the film be released overseas and adopt a global revenue sharing model! "

Song Ge's words were striking.

Wanda did not play tricks and used her absolute strength to convince Zhou Xingchi.

Wanda not only has the number one theater chain in the country, but also has the number one theater chain in the world!

This condition was a fatal temptation for Zhou Xingchi.

China Film and Hengyu also agreed to help him distribute the film after it was released, but who could have too many helpers?

Without even thinking about it, Zhou Xingchi agreed.

"Mr. Song, Mr. Liu, there is still 15% of the investment share in "Mermaid". If you don't mind it, I am willing to sell 10%."

"10%!"

Song Ge and Liu Ge were happy at first, and then were startled. They didn't know why Zhou Xingchi withheld the last 5%.

Could it be that they are worried that Wanda Film and Television won’t be able to eat it?

Before the two of them could say anything, Zhou Xingchi raised his finger and pointed outside, smiling: "You two, I have to leave some share to deal with them."

"That's it, it should be!"

Song Ge's eyes flashed and he agreed with this statement.

10% is 10%!

As long as Wanda Film and Television can get on board.

Immediately, the two parties discussed the quotation for several times, and Wanda Film and Television finally invested 50 million.

30 million purchase share, 20 million is considered as premium!

Zhou Xingchi did not let Wanda Film and Television spend 10 million to supplement the production funds due to Wanda Cinemas.

Come to think of it, the last 10 million fell on a few resentful people outside!

In less than ten minutes, the two sides reached a conclusion.

Seeing the four people coming out so quickly, Fan Luyuan, Chen Wu, and Zhang Zhao were all stunned, and Yapi looked embarrassed.

Without even looking at Wanda and Wanda's expressions, they knew that the two sides must be having a very pleasant conversation.

Fucked!

Did the share of "Mermaid" disappear just like that?

Several people gathered around and looked at Zhou Xingchi with burning eyes.

Zhou Xingchi laughed in his heart and greeted Fan Luyuan and Zhang Qiang: "Dr. Fan, Mr. Zhang, it's your turn, let's talk inside."

"Okay, thank you, Director Zhou, please!"

Fan Luyuan and Zhang Qiang were overjoyed and walked into the box with three steps at a time.

At this moment, the two of them felt like they were on a roller coaster, going from hell to heaven.

Just like that, Chen Wu and Zhang Zhao were confused, and the box door was closed tightly again. .

Song Ge and Liu Ge came to Hengyu Media in great joy.

"You two are so relaxed."

"Haha, congratulations to Wanda Film and Television for grabbing the investment share of "Mermaid". Mr. Song and Mr. Liu are really awesome. They convinced Director Zhou in just a few minutes!"

"You're welcome, Hengyu is the one, he won the movie share without making any noise, I admire him, I admire him!"

Song Ge smiled leisurely and gave a thumbs up to Lin Wei and Guo Fan.

If it didn't go as he expected, the great director Heng Yu should have personally taken action to deal with Zhou Xingchi in advance.

The four of them smiled at each other and sat together in tacit understanding.

Over there, Chen Wu and Zhang Zhao looked at the four of them from time to time, showing envy.

In their eyes, both Hengyu and Wanda Film are the winners today!

In the box.

Alibaba Pictures has already made an offer.

For the last 5% share of "Mermaid", Fan Luyuan quoted 50 million soft girl coins, which was a premium of 25 million in addition to 10 million to supplement the production funds.

pity

Zhou Xingchi was still thinking about it and did not give a reply in time.

A few minutes passed.

Zhou Xingchi came back to his senses, stared at Fan Luyuan and asked: "Director Fan, I heard that Alibaba Pictures is preparing to go public in October this year?"

"I would like to ask, is it necessary for your investment in "Mermaid" to be listed on the market?"

"If possible, it would be no problem to launch it in 2016!"

Fan Luyuan didn't know what Zhou Xingchi was planning, so he didn't hide it. He not only responded directly, but also pointed out something.

What it means: Investing in "Mermaid" at a premium in anticipation of its listing!

Zhou Xingchi is so smart, he instantly understands the meaning of the other party's words.

He sat up straight, shook his head and said loudly: "I'm sorry, my movie will never be used as a tool for the film and television company to go public."

Fan Luyuan and Zhang Qiang: "."

Lao Zhou

Such a bad excuse, what a fool!

Do you really think we are a new company? Don’t you know how "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" came to be?

Zhou Xingchi's words were very firm and noble, but Fan Luyuan and Zhang Qiang didn't believe a word of it.

Not only the two of them, but everyone waiting outside would also shake their heads if they heard it.

It’s too fake and too empty!

Fan Luyuan wanted to say more, but Zhou Xingchi didn't give him a chance and stood up to see the guests off.

Seeing this, Zhang Qiang took Fan Luyuan away and left a message before leaving.

"Director Zhou, I'm sorry to bother you today."

"Alibaba Pictures' sincerity will not change. I hope you will consider it carefully. If it is not enough, we can add more money!"

With that said, the two left depressedly.

Next, Tengxun Pictures and LeTV Pictures were rejected by Zhou Xingchi.

None of the three companies got the last 5%!

Leaving the palace.

Fang Ziheng received reports from Lin Wei and Guo Fan.

He told the two of them to continue to wait until the investor was completely finalized, and Hengyu Media would start to quote.

In the living room, Fang Ziheng teased Xiao Yueyue while thinking about the reasons why Zhou Xingchi rejected Ali, Teng Xun and LeTV.

The phrase "Don't become a tool for film and television companies to go public" is just an excuse.

Hengyu's share of investment in "Mermaid" was in the name of Hengyu Interactive Entertainment, and Zhou Xingchi was not worried at the time.

Any listed company needs impressive performance, also known as vigorous and upward development momentum.

This is especially true for listed film and television companies. A movie with a box office explosion has an immeasurable effect on boosting stock prices.

After decades of ups and downs, Zhou Xingchi knows these things very well.

When Fang Ziheng was talking to Zhou Xingchi last year, he pointed out that Hengyu Interactive Entertainment would be listed this year and "Mermaid" would be placed under the name of the listed company.

At that time, Zhou Xingchi not only did not act impatiently, but said that he wanted to buy Hengyu Interactive Entertainment's stocks and make a fortune by selling the stocks after "Mermaid" was released.

It can only be said that Alibaba Pictures, Tengxun Pictures, and LeTV Pictures have nothing that can impress Zhou Xingchi.

"what is the reason behind the scene?"

"It's definitely not because of the price. Alibaba and Tengxun are both big players, and a premium of tens of millions is just a matter of words!"

Fang Ziheng thought for a while, but couldn't figure it out.

Zhou Xingchi is a genius director. Genius's ideas are always weird and difficult for ordinary people to guess.

That’s it!

We'll know in two days!

At this time, Zeng Li finished his yoga and came back dripping with sweat.

The great beauty Yingying sat down, her buttocks and the sofa squeezed into a perfect arc, she picked up a towel to wipe her sweat, and asked: "Zi Heng, do you really want to get the guaranteed release of "Mermaid"?"

"Yes, we must take it!"

Fang Ziheng hummed softly, put his daughter down and let her play on the sofa, took the towel from Zeng Li's hand, and gently wiped her sweat.

"Okay, what price are you going to quote?"

Zeng Li smiled slightly and did not worry about whether "Mermaid" would be a hit or not. She believed in her lover's vision.

"There's no rush. Let's quote one billion first and see how other companies react."

"One billion, so high!"

"Is it high? I still want to repay 1.5 billion!"

Fang Ziheng put on a show of grandeur, took the beautiful woman in his arms, and carefully wiped the sweat off her face, forehead, and neck.

Wiping, wiping, his hands couldn't help but move around.

Zeng Li rolled his eyes at him angrily: "Don't make trouble, is Yueyue still there?"

"Sister, let's have a mandarin duck bath later."

Fang Ziheng smiled evilly and looked at his daughter who sneaked off the sofa.

Little Yueyue is over one year old and has learned to walk.

After leaving her father's arms, she first played alone on the sofa for a while, then turned over, her upper body pressed against the sofa, and her calves moved outside the sofa.

Rubbing and rubbing, the little body got closer to the carpet.

Plop...

With a squat on the ground, Xiao Yueyue successfully got from the sofa to the ground.

She thought her father hadn't noticed, so she took a sneak peek and prepared to trot away.

"Yueyue, what are you doing?

A soft shout made Xiao Yueyue's body freeze instantly.

The little dark eyes blinked twice and looked at Dad, full of disbelief.
