Entertainment, I just like making movies

promise?

Wang Jianlin didn't know what Song Ge was thinking. If he knew, he would definitely scold him bloody.

A 10% stake in Hengyu Interactive Entertainment can be obtained for at most 3.5 billion, and Wanda will surely earn a large sum of money if the ban is lifted in three years.

The film and television base will not be able to recover its costs in 10 years, let alone profits.

What can Wanda Group do with these 10 billion funds?

Used to build new Wanda commercial plazas, ten of them can be built at once.

I only agreed to it because I was mentally retarded!

As the helmsman of Wanda Group, Wang Jianlin has a very far-sighted vision and a very accurate vision.

Investing in Hengyu Film and Television Base is definitely a loss-making business.

Of course.

Losing money is losing money. Now that Fang Ziheng has spoken, he can't refuse directly.

No matter what, it’s interesting!

Thinking this way, Wang Jianlin came up with another theory: "Director Fang, are you kidding me? 50 billion will be used to build film and television bases. Not to mention China, even if you look at the world, there are only a handful of them."

"As far as I know, Disney only needs tens of billions of soft coins to build a comprehensive amusement park!"

"Director Wang does not know that what Hengyu built is not an ordinary film and television base, but a super-large filming base that integrates martial arts, fairy tales, mythology, science fiction, ancient costumes and other movie themes."

Hengyu Media has reached an agreement with the Yuzhang government and is currently investigating the best site. Just yesterday, I received a report from the inspection team, which is roughly planned to be around Sanqing Mountain and Longhu Mountain.

In this way, the film and television base can be perfectly integrated with the tourism business!

In recent years, the tourism industry in Yuzhang Province has been very developed, with its total output value ranking first in the country and its growth rate ranking first for three consecutive years.

With the improvement of people's living standards, the tourism industry in Yuzhang, a major forest province in the country, will only become more and more prosperous, and it has great hope to become the first in the country. "

Fang Ziheng said with a leisurely smile and continued to draw the pie.

He understood Big Pharaoh's subtext, Wanda could invest some money, but don't even think about it more.

But he has his considerations.

Within a few years, Yuzhang's tourism industry will rank first in the country.

Wuyi Mountain, Sanqing Mountain, and Longhu Mountain have all become tourist attractions for people to travel during holidays.

If there is an unprecedentedly large film and television base near a famous mountain, the cliffs can increase the selling point and attract people to come for sightseeing and even consumption.

On this point, he really didn't fool Big Lao Wang and really wanted to cooperate with Wanda Group.

After finishing speaking, Fang Ziheng regained his composure, picked up the tea, blew on it, and took two sips slowly.

He believes that Big Pharaoh will re-evaluate this big project.

His guess was correct. After listening to his narration, Wang Jianlin was indeed tempted.

The reason is also very simple!

Wang Jianlin thought of another major strategic policy of Wanda Group, which is to transfer Wanda's large-scale heavy-asset industries to asset-light industries!

The film and television base city is different from acquiring land to build houses. It is not a one-time deal. It is also an asset-light industry that is combined with tourism.

And Wanda is just preparing to make a big splash in the film and television industry.

A film and television city must be built sooner or later! !

No matter which aspect, there are reasons to invest.

only

10 billion is really too much!

For a time, Wang Jianlin was in trouble.

At this moment, Andy on the side kicked an assist, looked at Song Ge and asked: "Mr. Song, Wanda Film and Television has been established for two or three years. I don't know when it will be listed on the market?"

"It's still early to launch, we still have to wait!" Song Ge was slightly stunned and answered duplicitously.

He also wanted Wanda Film and Television to go public as soon as possible, so he made several application reports to Wanda headquarters.

But Wang Jianlin believes that there is no rush to go public. It won’t be too late to go public once Wanda Group’s global film and television roadmap is completed.

After hearing this, Andy raised the corner of his mouth and chuckled: "Director Wang, if Wanda Film and Television goes public in 2015, it will be just in time to complete the second phase of the film and television base and open filming and tourism businesses."

"oh"

Wang Jianlin raised his eyebrows and looked over in surprise.

How did this female CEO of Hengyu Media guess that she was planning to list Wanda Film and Television in 2015?

Could it be that Song Ge revealed the news!

Just when Big Lao Wang was confused, Fang Ziheng put down his tea and spoke again: "Dr. Wang, let's do this. As long as Wanda Film and Television is listed as scheduled in 2015, Hengyu Media Chengruo will cooperate with Wanda Film and Television again before the listing. You and I will join hands." Create a potential blockbuster!”

"This is true!"

Wang Jianlin's eyes flashed, he sat up straight and asked.

Fang Ziheng looked solemn, stared at Wang Jianlin and laughed loudly: "A gentleman's words are hard to catch up with!"

"good!"

Wang Jianlin slapped his thigh, his serious expression changed, and he showed a joyful smile and said: "Director Fang is so interesting, but I, Old Wang, fell behind when I tried to control him."

"How about Wanda Group investing 5 billion into Hengyu Film and Television Base and taking 30% of the shares?"

"No, up to 25%!"

This time it was Fang Ziheng's turn to refuse, shaking his head and saying: "The local government in Yuzhang occupies 20% of the land, and Hengyu Media must take over the remaining 55%!"

"Then 27%, no less!"

Wang Jianlin smiled leisurely, his brows showing his bossy aura, and he was not worried at all about Fang Ziheng's rejection again.

We are not fools. The 50 billion that Fang Ziheng mentioned at the beginning is full of water.

Although Wang Jianlin does not know the total investment of Hengyu Media, he is a master with a background in real estate.

The total cost of a film and television base is between 10 billion and 15 billion at most.

Don't ask, ask for the inside story!

He invested 5 billion in it, accounting for 27% of the share, which was enough to give Fang Ziheng face.

in addition

This 5 billion is not all cash. Wanda Group will send a team to connect with Hengyu Media and the Yuzhang Provincial Government in an effort to win the basic project of the film and television base.

If this is accomplished, Wanda Group will be invincible!

really

Hearing that Big Lao Wang asked for 2 more points, Fang Ziheng was not displeased at all. Instead, he stood up and said cheerfully: "Okay, just 27%. Ziheng is grateful for Director Wang's support!"

"It's getting late, so we won't disturb your rest!"

With that said, Fang Ziheng stretched out his hand and shook Wang Jianlin's hand.

"Okay, that's all for today, I'll see Director Fang off."

Wang Jianlin nodded slightly and sent Fang Ziheng and Andy out with a smile on his face.

The guys stood up and walked out of the lounge to say goodbye to each other.

………

Fang Ziheng and Andy did not go back to the banquet hall, but went straight to the presidential suite on the top floor of the hotel.

In the suite living room.

Andy took out his mobile phone and dialed Lin Feifei's number. He pursed his lips and looked at Fang Ziheng and said: "This Chairman Wang is so cautious. He will cut him down with 10 billion!"

"Normally, people have been in the real estate business for so many years. Even without looking at the design cost drawings, they can roughly know the size and total investment of the film and television base."

Fang Ziheng hugged the beauty to the sofa and sat down, smiling and holding it carefully with his palms.

hiss..

The call is connected.

Andy took a breath, leaned into the little man's arms with half-lidded eyes, and said into the phone: "Fei Fei, we've finished talking, when will you come up?"

"It's so fast. We'll come up later. Sissi and the others said they are going to do SP. Are you going?"

On the other end of the phone, Concubine Lin was a little surprised, looked at Liu Qianqian, Song Yi, and Da Tiantian who were about to leave and asked.

"I um... I won't go. I'll wait for you guys upstairs." Andy pressed the pig's paw on his chest and said in a daze.

After saying that, she quickly hung up the phone.

The little man's hand seemed to have a magical power, which almost made her lose her temper in front of her best friend.

Fang Ziheng smiled, leaned over and murmured in a low voice: "Are they going to become SPs?"

"Well, they're all gone."

"I know how to be an SP. Do you want me to help you?"

As he spoke, he exerted force on his hands.

after an hour.

Andy was lying on the sofa, feeling extremely lazy and weak.

That small appearance is much more comfortable than being an SP.

The next day.

Hengyu Media Headquarters.

Fang Ziheng was sitting on the boss's chair in high spirits, holding a cup of ginseng and wolfberry tea and drinking it happily.

Andy made the tea, saying it was a reward for last night's comfort.

last night.

He put in a lot of effort.

Dong Dong Dong...

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Fang Ziheng put down the thermos cup, sat up straight and spoke loudly.

Secretary Lin Yuyu pushed open the door and came in, followed by Zhang Miao, the new director of the Hengyu Media Production Department.

After Lin Feifei became the vice chairman of the group, her position as director of the production department has been vacant.

Fang Ziheng searched for a long time before poaching Zhang Miao, a gold medal producer of domestic entertainment films, from Columbia Pictures in Hollywood.

Zhang Miao!

A producer who left a significant mark in the history of Chinese-language films.

His production ability is not inferior to that of the three great producers, Chen Guowao, Jiang Zhiqiang, and Huang Jianxin.

Before Fang Ziheng was reborn, all the films produced by Zhang Miao were hits without exception.

From 2016 to 2017, he served as the producer and general publisher of "Wolf Warrior 2".

In 2018, he served as the co-producer and general publisher of "I'm Not the God of Medicine".

In the same year, he served as the producer and general distributor of "The Unknown".

From 2017 to 2019, he served as the producer and distributor of the movie "The Wandering Earth".

In 2020, he served as the chief producer and chief distributor of the movie "My Hometown and Me".

In the same year, he served as the producer and general distributor of the movie "The Bathing King".

From 2020 to 2021, he will serve as the producer and chief producer of the movie "Hello, Li Huanying".

Among the seven movies, except for "The Bathing King" whose total box office was slightly worse, only 400 million, the other six movies were all hits.

Zhang Miao is just thirty-five this year and is in the prime of life.

He followed Lin Yuyu to the desk and looked at Fang Ziheng respectfully: "Chairman, are you looking for me?"

"Sit, sit down first."

Fang Ziheng smiled and pointed at the guest sofa, asking Zhang Miao to take a seat first, and then asked Lin Yuyu to make a cup of tea.

"Lao Zhang, are you used to joining the company?"

"I'm quite used to it. Our group is very formal and has many film professionals. It's no worse than Columbia Pictures, where I worked in North America before."

Zhang Miao smiled and complimented him. Although he didn't know what Fang Ziheng wanted from him, his intuition told him that it must be something big.

Fang Ziheng accepted his compliment with a heart.

Hengyu Media's production capabilities, in addition to shooting technology and professional talents, are indeed world-class in many aspects.

The only difference with Hollywood giants is that they can only produce three blockbusters in a year.

Fang Ziheng himself shot one film, and directors from Five Elements Directing Company made two films.

Just like 2012's "Famous Man 2" and "The Great Wall", both movies are absolute blockbusters.

Lao Mouzi's "Chinese Partners" has a small lineup, and many of the teams he brought were borrowed from Wu Jing's "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds."

I’m thinking of making a fourth film, but that’s not realistic.

There is not enough professional talent in the crew, there is a lack of special effects people, and there is also a lack of excellent producers and supervisors.

Generally speaking, Hengyu Media still has a long way to go in terms of software and hardware strength.

Fang Ziheng asked Zhang Miao some questions about life, and then talked about the movies controlled by the group this year.

Zhang Miao's response was sincere and he integrated into the group very quickly. He has already started negotiating with Wen Muye, Lao Mouzi, Wu Jing and others on new projects for this year.

Hengyu Media has a total of twelve major film projects from 2013 to 2014.

"The Founding of an Army", directed by Fang Ziheng.

"Manslaughter 2", directed by Guo Fan, screenwriter: Hengyu Literary Editorial Department.

"Tang Detective 2", directed by Wen Muye, produced by Fang Ziheng, screenwriter: Fang Ziheng, Hengyu Literary Editorial Department.

"People on the Journey to Hong Kong", directed by Xu Zheng, screenwriter: Fang Ziheng, Hengyu Literary Editorial Department.

"Xiuchundao 2", directed by Hao Yi, screenwriter: Hengyu Literary Editorial Department.

"Invincible Youth", directed by Su Lun, screenwriter: Hengyu Literary Editorial Department.

"The Breakup Master" is directed by Deng Chao, produced by Fang Ziheng, and written by Hengyu Literary Editorial Department.

The above seven movies will all be launched this month.

The remaining five films will also be launched in April and May. Among them, the films of Lao Mouzi and Wu Jing are more important and may not be released this year.

After chatting for half an hour, Zhang Miao drank two cups of tea.

Seeing that it was almost done, Fang Ziheng took out two contracts for "囧 in Hong Kong" from the drawer, stood up and went to the sofa area to hand them to the other party.

"Old Zhang, I have something to do for you!"

"Please give me the chairman's orders!" Zhang Miao accepted the contract and agreed.

Then, he lowered his head and flipped through the contract in his hand.

Um..

Regarding the investment agreement for "囧" and Zhao Yanzi's actor contract.

"Embarrassed in Hong Kong" is about to start filming, is there something wrong?

Fang Ziheng ignored the other party's confused look, pointed at the two contracts, and said with a calm and firm tone: "Go to Alibaba Film and Television Group and tell them that the contract is cancelled, and Hengyu Media has found another investor!"

"Also, you should contact Zhao Yanzi's agent and terminate your contract as an actor in "囧"!"

Zhang Miao's pupils shrank and she was momentarily confused.

Damn it!

The contract has been signed, the money invested by Alibaba Pictures has been paid, and now we have to unilaterally breach the contract.

And Zhao Yanzi, who is a top Chinese-speaking actress and a figure with infinite national popularity, will terminate her contract as an actress!

Boss, are you too overbearing?

Zhang Miao's mouth twitched, and she was speechless for a moment.

However, he was also very human. He quickly calmed down and asked tentatively: "Chairman, did something happen?"

"That's right, Alibaba Pictures broke the promise first. The previously negotiated "Youth" project will not take us to play."

"To Youth"!

The director seems to be Zhao Yanzi!

Zhang Miao understood and immediately understood Fang Ziheng's intention.

If you don't play with me, I will naturally throw you off the boat.

"Chairman, what about liquidated damages?"

"There is no liquidated damages in Alibaba's investment contract. Domestic film projects are only counted after they are filmed. Now that the film has not started shooting, they can still bite us."

Fang Ziheng sneered, not afraid that Ali would cause trouble for him.

"What about Zhao Yanzi?"

"It's easier for her. I remember her acting fee was 7 million, and the group paid half of it in advance."

"The chairman means that the 3.5 million paid in advance should be regarded as liquidated damages for Zhao Yanzi!"

"good!"

"I'm just afraid that Zhao Yanzi won't recognize it!"

Zhang Miao looked worried and then said: "I have heard a lot of gossip in the company recently, including about Zhao Yanzi. She has an elder who worked in the system in the early years. Although he has retired, his influence is still there."

"Ha ha.."

After hearing this, Fang Ziheng laughed loudly, stood up, patted his shoulder, and said comfortingly: "Old Zhang, since you have heard a lot of gossip, have you heard my gossip?"

"The chairman is joking!" Zhang Miao's face suddenly changed, and he stood up with an apology on his face.

"No, I'm not joking."

Fang Ziheng calmed down and looked at Zhang Miao and said word by word: "Just go ahead and do it. No matter whether it is Zhao Yanzi, Alibaba Film and Television Group, or Alibaba behind them, there is nothing to be afraid of!"

"Understood, I'll do it right away."

Seeing that the boss was serious, Zhang Miao didn't dare to ask any more questions and strode out with two contracts.

although

He wanted to hear the young boss's gossip.
