As an old friend, Wang Zhongjun naturally said that he had no intention of acquiring Huihui Cinema. At least he would not be the first to do this. If it was said that Huihui was really bankrupt, Huayi Brothers would not care about acquiring Huihui Cinema. For a theater chain that is beginning to take shape, distribution is king. Wang Zhongjun is also very clear about this matter. Therefore, Wang Zhongjun is very accurate on such an issue.
He won't ruin the friendship between friends. In fact, he was also discussing with Feng Xiaogang about helping. This time, he wanted to see what Ye Ming would do next time.
Therefore, after coming in, Wang Wang Zhongjun said directly and unceremoniously: "Brother Ye, I'm afraid your life has not been very easy these past two days. I see that some of your cinemas are talking about cross talk, which is very prosperous. I I also listened to a few paragraphs, and the guy named Guo Degang is a talent, and what he said is good, but after all, this is not a long-term solution for cinemas. By then, movies will still be the main focus. If you really need something, say it. There is absolutely no ambiguity in what I can do to help you.”
In such a predicament, Ye Ming actually asked Guo Degang, a cross talk talker, to attract the audience. Although it seemed like Brilliant Cinema was losing money to create prosperity, at this time, it also showed another thing. , that is to say, on such an issue, Brilliant Cinema has attracted popularity. What are theater chains most afraid of? Lack of popularity. Lack of popularity and popularity, so that audiences can’t even remember their names.
This theater chain is almost finished. However, even if the movie schedule is not good enough, if there is cross talk to attract people, it is still a pretty good opportunity.
Regarding such a thing, no matter how it is said, it is actually an opportunity that can really be thought of. No matter what kind of opportunity it is, it is first to capture the audience. Once the brilliant theater chain has passed this dangerous period, these cross talk audiences will be repeat customers. therefore. Wang Zhongjun is not as pessimistic about Ye Ming anymore.
At this time, Ye Ming also said with a smile: "Brother Wang, you are so polite. I can still hold on now. If I really can't hold on, then I will be the first to ask Brother Wang for help." At this time, you have to help your brother." At this time, Ye Ming's expression made Wang Zhongjun feel very surprised. In such a situation, he did not expect that Ye Ming also had such a way to entertain himself. He was full of energy and showed no decadent expression at all.
It's as if nothing happened to Glory. Feng Xiaogang said that Ye Ming is an optimistic person like him and Ge You, no matter what big things happen. It was all about being cheerful all day long, with no special performance. A person like this is often a very strong person inside. Now it seems that Ye Ming is definitely the kind of person with a very strong heart. From the outside, it seemed like this was imminent, but Ye Ming still waited patiently for things to get worse.
Some people who couldn't stand his behavior were Luo Sihai. All of this had a lot to do with Luo Sihai. Luo Sihai wanted to take revenge, so naturally he wanted to plot against Ye Ming. The more miserable Ye Ming was, the more miserable he would be. At this time, Luo Sihai felt even happier. But it looks like it now. At a time like this, it was actually not a big deal. At a time like this, Luo Sihai just came to see a joke, but when he saw Ye Ming, he was as calm and indifferent as if nothing had happened. , Luo Sihai just didn't feel very comfortable in his heart.
Just when Luo Sihai was about to say something, Dong Ping took over and said: "What happened to Manager Ye this time is probably not that you can simply go. Everyone above said hello. Your TV series is probably unblocked." There is not much hope. We are all experts at this. There is no use in deceiving ourselves."
Because Dong Ping and Ye Ming are not acquaintances or friends, Dong Ping cannot call Ye Ming brothers like Wang Zhongjun. A title like Manager Ye is considered an official title for Hi.
Ye Ming seemed to have thought that Dong Ping would say this. So I quickly said: "At this time, I have no choice. Can crying solve the problem? If crying can solve the problem, then I really want to cry for three days. But since this happened , we always have to find a way to solve it, crying can’t solve any local problems.”
Dong Ping is actually the kind of person who never gives up. Otherwise, we would not have reached the point where we are today. Therefore, at this time, he was very satisfied with Ye Ming's answer. It is very rare for today's young people to have the kind of Chen Wei who speaks and acts like Ye Ming, with the kind of attitude that seems to have gone through many vicissitudes of life.
Therefore, at this time Dong Ping said very happily: "Of course we have to find a solution to the problem. In fact, it is still a problem of money. Therefore, today we are here to help Manager Ye solve this difficulty. I promise that as long as everyone If we work together, it doesn't mean that it's impossible to make a comeback."
Dong Ping's words are already very obvious.
Regarding such an issue, even Wang Zhongjun believed that Dong Ping's proposal was reasonable, and this method was actually not unreasonable or adding insult to injury. Sure enough, Ye Ming seemed to meet someone he was interested in writing by chance: "Manager Dong is a senior. Can you give me some tips? How can I make a comeback? How can I solve a problem I am currently facing?"
Dong Ping laughed loudly. When he organizes things, he pays attention to the use of conspiracy and conspiracy. When it is time to be upright, he will be upright. If it is said that his opponent is using tricks, Dong Ping is not a good person. On this issue, Dong Ping believed that there was no need to break up with Ye Ming. Therefore, at this time, Dong Ping laughed and said: "The matter is very simple. In fact, didn't you say you are short of money? We can invest."
Ye Ming shook his head solemnly at this moment and said: "I said, I am not short of money. The difficulties of Huihuang Film and Television are actually temporary, and some things will always pass."
At this time, Luo Sihai couldn't stand it anymore and snorted and said: "Mr. Ye, please stop holding on. In fact, if your brilliant film and television can last for two weeks, it's pretty good. What should you do then? Bankruptcy ?"
This thing is somewhat unbelievable. Brilliant Film and Television is quite prosperous. In the past two years, the boss of Brilliant Film and Television has been able to make movies and publish books. He released an album and achieved great success. He won the Golden Horse Award for the movie and won the album title in one battle, even at a time like this. The books written by Ye Ming are all very popular. It can be said that even if Luo Sihai is Ye Ming's enemy, Luo Sihai is not allowed to admit one thing in front of others and behind his back, that is, Ye Ming is a capable star.
But a person who has the ability to become a superstar may not necessarily be a successful businessman. In such a matter, the emperor superstar Andy is an example. Needless to say, Andy is the most comprehensive superstar among the four kings. It can be said that one person has influenced three generations. He is an evergreen in entertainment. Tree. But he is a person like this, doing business and making movies. That also means there are some modest successes.
It was even said that it was very unsuccessful, and in the end I had to lose money and close the business. As a result, I signed a contract to sell myself and work hard to make movies to pay off the debt. It seems that in the history of film, except for the later film "Crazy Stone", which was an impressive investment, the rest of the movies invested by Andy can hardly be called successful. 1. Therefore, in the case of self-installation, it is not impossible to say that Ye Ming is not a successful businessman.
A big star may not necessarily be a successful businessman. At a time like this, in fact, if a big star is said to be an idiot in business, it is not impossible.
Ye Ming said with great confidence: "Mr. Luo, you're welcome. This time, Luo always wanted to see me go bankrupt, but unfortunately, you won't be able to do so."
Luo Sihai really didn't know why Ye Ming had so much confidence that he could make a comeback. Han Shanping is no longer on Ye Ming's side. So in such a situation, can't Ye Ming still have the ability to come back to life? At that moment, Luo Sihai said bluntly: "They are all in this industry, Ye Why bother to support it? We are actually very clear about the current situation of your company at this time. Even if you offer a price, if it is suitable, we will acquire your brilliant film and television. That’s not to say it’s impossible.”
This kind of tone can be said to be very arrogant, as if Luo Sihai must be able to dominate Huihuang Film and Television. It's all about not treating Ye Ming as a boss of the same level as the co-tenant. Ye Ming was not angry because of this. This kind of provocation method is more effective for young people. However, Ye Ming just said that although he looks young, he has a mature and experienced heart. Therefore, in this situation, On one issue, Luo Shisihai wanted to anger Ye Ming at this time, so that he could take advantage of the troubled waters. This plan failed.
Ye Ming said calmly: "Mr. Luo wants to acquire our brilliant film and television, but you also have to do something about it. Yes, do you know how much one of my theater chains is worth? Do you know how much money I invested in it?" ?
Moreover, this theater chain is a joint venture between me and the Hollywood giant Warner Brothers. Do you think it is richer than the eight major Hollywood film and television companies? "Even if Luo Sihai is a very arrogant filmmaker, in a situation like this, it's not like Ye Ming didn't know that he wouldn't dare to say such a big thing. Hollywood giants are all The dominating Big Mac can be said to be at the top of the global entertainment industry. The hair on his head is much thicker than the thighs of Sihai Film and Television. Therefore, at this time, Luo Sihai was speechless for a while.
Dong Ping saw the situation was rather embarrassing, and said with a smile: "Mr. Luo was actually making a joke to Mr. Ye. Naturally, we are not here to acquire Huihuang Film and Television. We don't have the financial resources, and what's more, we don't have the money." If Gutzu [Bright Sword] is banned, it is unlikely that it will be lifted.
On the contrary, [people on the embarrassing road] may encounter some hope. But maybe by then, for you, Manager Ye, the water from far away can’t quench your thirst for nearness. It’s not a matter of a day or two for movies to be divided. Can you, Huihuang Film and Television, really support it until that time?
On this point, Ye Ming dare not say that he will be able to support it. In fact, he will not be able to support it for ten days. If it means that he will not change, or that Ye Ming does not need a trump card or something, according to this The way to lose money is that in ten days, Huihuang Film and Television will be in financial trouble. The two giants in Hollywood, Warner Bros. and Paramount, see this very clearly. And it’s just like this. Dong Ping and Luo Sihai dared to come over, so they were attracted by this.
therefore. Under such a situation, they only came here as guests because of the financial resources of Brilliant Film and Television. Ye Ming thought for a while and finally had to admit: "That's right. You saw it very accurately. In fact, it takes more than ten days of effort. Ten days of effort can tell the difference. Please sit down, you three. Sister Fang, go pour some tea."
At this time, the four people really seemed to want to negotiate. Luo Sihai and Dong Ping each had their own plans in mind, as to how they could take a piece of meat from Brilliant Cinema. At this time, Wang Zhongjun was not so worried about gains and losses. Because Wang Zhongjun originally said that he was not that strong to take advantage. He came to think about how to help Ye Ming, of course, if Ye Ming needed help.
But none of the three of them expected that the first thing Ye Ming said when he sat down was: "I know what the three of you mean when you come here. You want to see my brilliant cinema, right? The theater chain is a key project of our company. It can be said that if it were not for this theater chain, not to mention the ban on the screening of "Bright Sword", even if it was banned on the screening of another TV series of Brilliant Film and Television What financial difficulties?
However, even at this time I am not short of money. Do you know that before you, Mr. Wood from Paramount in Hollywood and Ms. Ai Qiuhua from Warner Bros. approached me and said they wanted to buy my company? Do you know the price they offer? Twenty-eight million dollars, in U.S. dollars. "
In one sentence, the three big guys in the Chinese film and television industry were shocked. Twenty-eight million US dollars was definitely an astronomical figure, at least in 1999, and for most private companies in the country. This is an astronomical number, even for some state-owned enterprises, this is a very huge number.
Therefore, Ye Ming was able to say these words at this time. The shock caused was like a tsunami in the Pacific Ocean, roaring in, with strong winds and huge waves slamming into their spiritual defenses. It can be said that this slap in the face was crackling. Just now, Dong Ping and Luo Sihai were thinking about looking into the theater chain of Brilliant Film and Television, but their bosses have already said that they are reaching out to Hollywood.
It was then that they suddenly realized that indeed, Ye Ming was working with Warner Brothers to establish the theater chain. Will Warner Bros. watch Ye Ming go out of business? That is absolutely impossible. It's ridiculous that they still want to compete for some profits from Huihuang Film and Television.
That's taking food from Warner Bros.
Maybe Brilliant Film and Television does not pose much of a threat to them, but in such a situation, Warner Bros. actually looks like prehistoric dinosaurs to them. At this time, they are snatching food from the dragon's mouth. What is the difference between seeking death? Dong Ping was very shocked and said: "It's not possible for people in Hollywood to react so quickly. When they got the news and asked the board of directors for instructions, they didn't react so quickly."
Ye Ming said with certainty: "They just left not long ago. I don't need to lie. But they offered a price of 28 million, but I didn't agree. You know why they found out so quickly ?
After our country joins the WTO, the film market will gradually open up in the future. Regarding such a matter, although there may not be any big changes in film censorship, there will be some in the downstream, such as theater chains. If I am appropriately relaxed, foreign investors can cooperate with me to establish theater chains, which is a good example. Therefore, don’t think that the eight giants of Hollywood are very far away from us. In fact, they have long been eyeing our Chinese film and television market.
There is the largest consumer group in the world here. Once we slowly open up this market, they will swarm in like sharks that smell a fishy smell. Distribution is king, and Hollywood recognizes this the most. Therefore, when they got the news, they reacted immediately. Moreover, the two giants sent their presidents from the Asia-Pacific region to negotiate.
It's ridiculous that we are still fighting in a melee and scheming with each other. The Chinese Imperial Palace is really interesting. The monsters are about to hit the doorstep, but our people still want to fight in the nest. You think it is very interesting to do this, don't you? "
At a time like this, Ye Ming also knew that it was not the time to be polite, but the time to establish himself as the king, so he had to take decisive action on such an issue. It is also very beneficial to sober up these three big guys. At least one thing can be made known to the Chinese entertainment industry, that is, Hollywood is eyeing us, and everyone should still report it to the outside world.
If we are talking about blindly fighting each other and internal friction, then everyone is also talking about watching the Chinese entertainment industry sink. (To be continued.)
