"Near the north, did he really say that?"
Wu Yusen was immediately furious when he received Wang Jing's call back.
I, a great Hollywood director, one of the most famous directors in the Chinese director circle, took the initiative to befriend you, Mr. Lu, and offered me a share of the investment in "Red Cliff". It was fine if I didn't appreciate it, but he even cursed me to be like Cao Cao and encounter Red Cliff. It was a disastrous defeat like the battle.
Selin grass-based wheat!
"Director Wu, it's not like we're bragging."
Everyone in the crew who came from the Hong Kong industry complained.
The local colleagues are so rude!
Since the popularity of "Painted Skin" and the rise of domestic entertainment, more and more mainland companies have followed suit. Like Mr. Lu, they do not buy into the Hong Kong industry. In the past, they said that they could do whatever they wanted.
Now, attack and defend the aliens! The priorities are reversed!
Boss, you are the last card in the Hong Kong industry and the strongest savior of Hong Kong films. You must suppress the momentum of domestic entertainment no matter what.
It is our duty to restore the glory of Hong Kong cinema!
"It's a pity, this film was tailor-made by Fa Ge."
Wu Yusen felt a heavy burden and sighed.
The producer grumbled and said, "Yes, it's all my fault, Brother Fa, who shows no mercy at all. Domestic entertainment is riding on us, and he only cares about himself and doesn't care about the life and death of Hong Kong films. Even if he forgets that we are the ones who made him, We should also forget that without Director Wu's "A Better Tomorrow," how would his current glory be..."
"Forget it, let bygones be bygones. I won't blame Brother Fa at all, I just feel sorry for him."
Wu Yusen said this, but he still had a grudge in his heart.
"But the production is about to start. Where can we fill the gap of more than 100 million now? Wei Chai doesn't have Fa Ge's appeal. It's impossible for anyone to invest in him. Andy Lau is about the same."
The producer made a sarcastic comment.
"Liu Dehua is considered a guest dog."
Wu Yusen curled his lips: "Wei Tsai has no charisma, but I do! With just the word 'Wu Yusen', am I still afraid that I won't be able to raise 100 million!"
As soon as these words came out, the crew, which had been demoralized because of Zhou Runfa's resignation, instantly became more confident and started talking among themselves.
"Yes, yes, Director Wu is here, okay."
"When "Red Cliff" is finished, we have to compete with Wang Sanri's "Painted Skin 2". What a traitor!"
"It's a sure win. "Painted Skin" is just a bad love triangle film wrapped in a magical skin. How can it compare with "Red Cliff"."
"That's right, don't forget that Wang Rixiang is a blockbuster, and the sequels he makes are getting worse and worse. "Painted Skin 2" will definitely be a big bad movie. Believe it or not, let's make a bet."
"..."
Seeing everyone discussing endlessly, Wu Yusen turned his back to the crowd, dialed the phone, and lowered his voice and said, "Is it Director Han from China Film Group?"
As soon as he received the bad news, Han Sanping couldn't help but curse.
If you can't find the money, where can I find it for you?
These days, landlords don’t even have enough food left!
After years of macro-control, the prosperous coal industry has hit rock bottom. Although it is stable and improving, the good days of coal bosses are coming to an end, let alone real estate bosses.
In 2005, there were eight national regulations, in 2006, there were six national regulations...
The property market is surrounded by golden hoops, and banks cannot yet lend.
Money is tight and winter has arrived. Vanke, Country Garden, China Resources, etc. are tightening their belts and not daring to spend a penny.
After all, no other company wants to make the same mistake as Sunco.
There is no money here, and there is poverty there. After looking around, only Internet Capital has money, and among the ranks of rich people——
Mr. Lu is also the richest!
In the just-announced "Forbes" list of the world's richest people, Lu Fei and Li Huanggua once again ranked among the top ten, representing the mainland and Hong Kong. The Li Huanggua family ranked ninth with a total of US$23 billion.
Mr. Lu personally spent 22.76 billion US dollars, jumping 6 places from 16th last year to serve as the tenth gatekeeper.
As soon as this list came out, before China could cause controversy, Wall Street was the first to refuse to agree. Lu Fei's net worth is definitely not that small!
Because "Forbes" often calculates personal wealth based on stock prices, those that are not listed can only make rough estimates, not to mention the CDS and short options held by Trisolaris Fund and Baoer's hedge funds.
Valuation, greatly underestimated!
Nor did he include pots and pans such as Dingfeng Coking, Moutai, Luhua, and Jianlong Steel into Mr. Lu's total assets.
Hurun secretly made statistics to calculate the real assets.
At least surpass the 5th ranked IKEA founding family!
However, Mr. Lu is the controlling shareholder of Hurun Magazine and his father, the financial backer, so he is not on the pig-killing list.
As one of the official agents, Zhang Lei has repeatedly emphasized in interviews these days -
He's not, he doesn't, don't talk nonsense!
He reiterated Lu Fei’s original words, what about 20 billion or 30 billion US dollars? I have never touched money and I have no interest in money.
My happiest time is when I change the world!
I believe you! You Lu Xiaoji is so rich!
Han Sanping is not like Wu Yusen. Although he is the helmsman of the Chinese film industry, he has to be in awe of the three-acre land of China Entertainment and the hilltop of Han and Tang Dynasties backed by Mr. Lu.
I made a polite phone call and was quickly arranged to meet at the American Club. The box was located on the top floor of the China Resources Building.
The youngest club among the four major clubs in the Forty-Nine City, it focuses on high-class people. Its members are basically from the art circle, IT circle, and foreign enterprise circle. Microsoft and Goldman Sachs are exclusive members.
It has a bright and simple American-style decoration, with oil paintings hanging on the walls, and a collection of expensive cigars and members' wine on the exquisite counter.
"Hoo, hoo."
Lin Zhiling took a breath, she was ordered to take action.
When the movie goes bad, Xiao Qiao is gone too. The way to enter domestic entertainment is cut off, and the way for a model to transform into an actor is also cut off.
Connecting to Wu Yusen's legs is the way to connect to her.
Now, there was only one thing in Lin Zhiling's mind, which was to ask Mr. Lu to reattach the leg no matter what. Everything she saw and heard in Wisteria House made her more cautious.
At the age of 25, he has a lot of energy.
"Ms. Lin, we meet again."
Lu Fei shook his hand and looked more and more like Daiyu Qingwenzi.
Han Sanping exchanged a few simple greetings and said, "Zhiling, could you please go talk and open a bottle of red wine."
"Okay, Lafite from 1982?"
Lin Zhiling first handed the cut cigar to Lu Fei, took out a match and lit the fire, and then smiled charmingly. Her black gauze skirt outlined her sexy waist, making her rich and generous.
"Drink the bar I keep here."
Lu Fei put the cigar in the ashtray, "Dr. Han and Miss Lin have a taste of the Screaming Eagle brewed in my winery."
"good……"
Lin Zhiling's eyes sparkled and she pursed her lips.
Han Sanping took advantage of her departure to get straight to the point. Because of the Han and Tang Dynasties, he was lucky enough to make friends with Mr. Lu, but it was not a close friendship.
Who would have thought that in just a few years, he would fly into the sky.
I have been taking care of Gao Yuanyuan just because I want to rely on the trees to enjoy the shade.
This move has been made well...
Ever since, "Red Cliff" was presented as a gift.
But Lu Fei didn't look down on it at all. He put his finger on the goblet and shook it gently on the table: "Originally, for Director Han's sake, it doesn't matter if I invest 100 million, but if it's a police movie that Wu Yusen is good at, Maybe I would have voted for it, but a costume blockbuster like "Red Cliff", haha, the failure of "Wind Talker" is enough to prove that he can't control this kind of grand narrative theme, he doesn't have the ability!"
"Mr. Lu, you can't deny a director because of the failure of one film." Han Sanping excused Wu Yusen, "It's normal to not be able to shoot the grand narrative of America. After all, he is from China, and he is good at shooting Chinese history. As for the cost of 600 million, It’s a little too much…”
"Director Han, do you know why Europe can produce wine?"
Lu Fei pinched the leg of the cup, put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed.
Without waiting for Lin Zhiling and others to reply, she smiled and stretched out one, two or three fingers: "It's nothing more than the right time, the right location, and the right people."
"The Bordeaux region in France is suitable for growing grapes. The temperature and soil latitude and longitude are very suitable for the growth of wine grapes. It happened to coincide with the European ban on wine, but grapes were not included. By chance, wine was produced. The most important thing at that time was that their The technology of distillation and extraction is terrible, and we can’t make distilled wine as good as we do.”
Lu Fei looked at Han Sanping, who was confused, and continued to shake his glass: "These are the reasons for the emergence of wine. It will take hundreds of years to open up the entire European sales network."
"I understand President Lu's concerns very well."
Han Sanping suddenly realized: "'Hero' launched the era of Chinese-language blockbusters. Until today, costume blockbusters have never been able to escape the situation of being 'popular but not popular'. Ultimately, it's because of the right location."
"To be more precise, it's the theater chain."
"Why don't we know this, but the construction of theater chains takes time, and even more money. A movie theater can cost millions or tens of millions, and investing in 10 cinemas can cost hundreds of millions. However, the higher authorities stipulate that foreign capital is not allowed to invest in theater chains. Just rely on The small amount of capital flowing into movies now comes from private companies such as Wanda and Jinyi, which is far from enough!"
"So I plan to invest this money in theaters."
"Mr. Lu, Han and Tang Dynasties also want to be a theater chain?!"
"Yes, Han and Tang Dynasties will become a full-industry film company."
Lu Fei took a sip of wine. He had already discussed it with Gao Yuanyuan. Hantang was going to be listed and strive to be the number one entertainment company. Production, distribution and publicity alone were not attractive enough.
"Are the Han and Tang Dynasties planning to build a joint venture or build it themselves?"
Han Sanping squinted his eyes. There are now 7 theater chains in China with annual box office of over 100 million, such as Wanda, Jinyi, Shanghai Lianhe, and Yanjing New Film Alliance. They are all state-owned and privately operated independently.
China Film and Star America is a joint venture between China Film and Star America Group.
Last year, China Film and Guangdong Film Company reorganized its four cinema lines to form the "Southern Film Shinkansen", covering 13 provinces and cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Fujian, Jiangxi and Anhui.
Although the theater chain is long, the theaters vary widely, some are new, some are old, and some are so old that they are in disrepair and are in urgent need of funding.
I am suffering from no capital to invest!
It was precisely because of this that Lu Fei found Han Sanping. Fearing that others would get there first, he immediately suggested——
】
Hantang and China Film Group have joined forces to form the "China Film Hantang" aircraft carrier.
"Mr. Lu, there are 129 screens in this line."
Han Sanping couldn't help but feel excited. The Southern Shinkansen has a superior geographical location. It is basically located in eastern Guangdong, which is among the top five ticket warehouses in the country. It is also uniquely attractive to Hong Kong-owned theater groups.
With Mr. Lu's influence in eastern Guangdong, he not only has the possibility to unify the theater circuits in southern China, but can even reach out to the basic market of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong theater chain, and even the entire Cantonese-speaking region.
One hand holds the funds, and the other hand holds the cinema lines.
It is equivalent to pinching Haruko in the Hong Kong circle.
"Money is no object at all."
Lu Fei crossed his legs and looked at Han Sanping, who was thinking for a while, with a smile, "I also made an appointment with friends from Shanxi. They always fully support the expansion of the film and television industry in the Han and Tang Dynasties."
Internet capital plus coal boss?
Han Sanping had already smelled the fragrance of banknotes and agreed without hesitation, but he did not forget the original intention of the trip.
"I have also heard about Mr. Lu's friends in the coal industry, like Liu Qijin, who have set up a film and television investment fund specifically to provide funds for the Han and Tang Dynasties. In this case, although the Han and Tang Dynasties did not invest in "Red Cliff", can Mr. Lu help introduce them to these people?" friend?"
He offered a toast, "Maybe someone will be willing to invest."
"when!"
Lu Fei clinked his glasses and said, "Okay, for the sake of Director Han, I'll just ask, but I have to say it up front and I will explain the pros and cons to them clearly. After all, it's more than 100 million. "
"I understand, haha, I understand."
Han Sanping disagreed. With Master Lu's words, half of the matter was basically settled. As for the other half...
"On behalf of Director Wu, thank you Mr. Lu."
Lin Zhiling felt the meaningful gazes of the two people, and she whispered in a whisper, staring closely at Lu Fei. The wine was not intoxicating, but her whole heart was intoxicated.
Soon, my mind was occupied by another thing.
We must take the opportunity to hug Mr. Lu’s thicker thigh!
While pushing the cup to change the cup, I tried my best to be charming and seductive, but I definitely never expected that my body would be hollowed out during these few days of visiting the class.
Gao Yuanyuan, Yin Fanka...
Fortunately, Zeng Li is pregnant. Otherwise, even if she has this intention, her nutrition will not be able to keep up. If her nutrition can keep up, her waist will not be able to bear it...
Mr. Lu had already entered the sage mode and refused.
I brought my wife here, it would be inconvenient to accept another girl!
…………
"Mr. Lu, walk slowly."
Lin Zhiling watched resentfully as the "duck" on her lips flew away again, got into the car, and drove away in Maybach S600l.
"No problem, I'll ask for you."
Along the way, Lu Fei was talking to Liu Qijin on the phone. His accent in western Shanxi was particularly friendly, and he heard him swear:
"But investing in theaters, I won't be able to get much out of it for the time being."
“Do what you can, but don’t force it.”
"How can I force it? I'm not forcing it at all! Brothers, I have to thank you very much. If you hadn't supported the coalification method and introduced Jianlong and Hangzhou Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. to cooperate with us, Dingfeng Coking would not be where it is today. , it’s just such a bad luck when I picked it.”
Liu Qijin couldn't help but lament that it would be a disaster for coal bosses like him if they had to undergo transformation and upgrading.
"Why do you say that?"
Lu Fei was puzzled.
"Because we want to cooperate with Ludong to launch a new 3 billion project in the Coal Chemical Industrial Park and continue to expand production capacity."
Liu Qijin introduced the outline with pride.
Lu Fei listened carefully and unconsciously thought of Chief Ma, the "Endorsement Emperor", of environmental protection and emission reductions in three to five years, and of reducing production capacity on the supply side in the future, and then he began to persuade in a roundabout way.
"Energy saving, emission reduction, and environmental protection?"
Liu Qijin was excited, "Brother Lu, what do you think, private steel and coal chemical industry will be sunset industries in the future?"
"Don't you think so?"
"Hey, what should we do?"
"Brother Liu, don't forget that you still have a share of the industry. Didn't both the Han and Tang Dynasties have your share?"
The corners of Lu Fei's mouth turned up. The reason why Liu Qijin and others followed him was because they knew that if they followed him to make a fortune, they would get richer.
Whether investing in steel, coal, or film and television, Black Gold Capital has tasted great benefits and will never look back.
"But can theaters make a lot of money?"
Liu Qijin has been working in heavy industry for a long time, and he often earns hundreds of millions or billions. Just like gambling, he is used to seeing big money, and he despises small money.
Millions, nothing interesting.
"The theater chain I want is not just a theater chain."
Lu Fei's tone was full of confidence: "It is still a large commercial center. It can even have urban pedestrian streets, five-star hotels, office buildings, apartments, etc. It should be a community-based business district that integrates catering, culture, entertainment and other functions."
"Brother Lu, do your brothers and sisters understand your business?"
"So we need people who understand commercial real estate development and operations to cooperate and operate. I am looking for such people."
"I know someone who might be able to do it."
"who?"
"I have a fellow from western Shanxi named Sun Hongbin."
