Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

The withered yellow leaves always give people a feeling of desolation. But Yanjing is getting more and more crowded and the people are walking in a hurry, but it is not as lonely as winter, but it seems very noisy.

At the intersection of an alley in Houhai, Yang Dongxu got off the car, Wang Sheng and several others followed him, walked into the alley, and then came to a relatively quiet tavern.

Some people like the prosperity of the big city, and naturally some people like to hide away and have a little fun. For example, the interior decoration of the tavern in front of you is not as exaggerated as the retro route, but the bonsai and porcelain do give people a sense of culture.

Rather than the feasting and feasting of Sanlitun.

"Why did you call me here in such a hurry? Is there something you can't talk about at home?" Yang Dongxu came to the table and sat down.

Naturally, his aunts Ran Feifei and Yu Feihong were sitting opposite him, as well as Jiang Wen and an unknown man beside them.

Since the last time Ran Feifei drank too much and was brought back to the courtyard by Yang Dongxu, she seemed to be tired of the chef Yang's family banquet. In the past few days, Ran Feifei has been living in the courtyard and asked Aunt Hua to make home-cooked dishes.

"Jiang Wen's friend Ning Hao is a new director. He has won some awards for his previous works. He has a good script and is looking for investment, so I asked you to come over and take a look." Ran Feifei was obviously not very polite to Yang Dongxu.

Yes, especially during private gatherings, there is no need to protect the face of Yang Dongxu, the big boss.

Yang Dongxu was stunned for a moment when he heard his aunt's words, and then looked at Jiang Wen next to him with a confused look on his face.

Because Jiang Wen is now a contracted director with Huayi Company, and since his friend’s script is good, he should first recommend it to Huayi instead of coming to him through Ran Feifei.

"I'm leaving Huayi soon." Seeing Yang Dongxu's confusion, Jiang Wen explained.

Yang Dongxu, who was originally doubtful, showed a look of sudden realization. Although he was basically a hands-off boss regarding Haina Entertainment, he still knew something about the things in the circle.

For example, in the past two years, Huayi Company has made a lot of money from Feng Xiaopao's New Year's films. People in the film industry know that those films made by this guy Jiang Wen as a director can be used as teaching materials and put on the market.

It's basically a trap.

In addition, when Huayi signed Jiang Wen at the beginning, in addition to his talent as a director, it was also because he came from a courtyard. He has a certain influence in the Beijing circle, so the newly established Huayi needed people very much.

Now that Huayi has established a firm foothold with his New Year films, Jiang Wenliao, even though his directing career has been temporarily blocked, still focuses on being a director and doesn't like acting very much. Even if he acts, he likes to direct and act himself, which undoubtedly creates conflicts between the two parties.

So since I am about to break up with Huayi, it is undoubtedly a bit embarrassing to recommend my friend's script for Huayi to invest.

"What type of movie has a script?" Yang Dongxu asked.

"Bring it, bring it." Ning Hao nodded quickly and said.

Compared with the later directors Ning, who are all famous in China, the current Ning Hao is just a newcomer. In fact, just now Ran Feifei said that his director's work won an award, which actually made him very embarrassed.

Because the quality of the works he directed is indeed very good. However, he only received a campus director award and was shortlisted for some artistic film industry awards. He did not receive any significant awards.

Taking the script handed over by Ning Hao, Yang Dongxu glanced at the name of the movie and couldn't help but pause. Then he couldn't help but look up at Ning Hao. When Ning Hao felt that his throat was a little dry and didn't know what to say, he lowered his head and started to read.

script.

When Ran Feifei introduced Ning Hao just now, he felt that the name was very familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while. But when he saw "Crazy Stone" on the script.

He remembered that Ning Hao was a great director in later generations. He had directed many well-received and popular movies. However, he had only heard of this name. It seemed that he had seen Ning Hao's photos when he was surfing the Internet that day.

It's just that he couldn't remember the appearance, so he raised his head and glanced at Ning Hao, and then recalled that he really had no impression. After all, too much time had passed.

But the name 'Ning Hao' matched the script in front of him. The Ning Hao in front of him was the great director he knew. Ning Hao probably didn't run away.

After taking a rough look at the content of the script, there was no difference between the content of the script and the "Crazy Stone" in his memory, so he was basically confirmed.

The tavern was very quiet. After knowing that Yang Dongxu had read the script, everyone was obviously relieved. Then they looked at him nervously.

"How much investment do you want?" This was Yang Dongxu's first sentence after reading the script.

Ning Hao, who was originally nervous, suddenly had a look of excitement on his face, and he said excitedly: "Just 3 million."

Yang Dongxu looked at Ning Hao without saying anything.

This made the excited Ning Hao's expression gradually solidify, and then he swallowed saliva to moisten his dry throat, "That...or two...two and a half million will do, no matter how little it is."

It’s not working anymore, even if it’s taken, the effect is not very good.”

"No, you misunderstood. Then it's 3 million, but the producer must be someone from Haina. Of course, the project establishment and post-release are also from Haina." Yang Dongxu just looked at Ning Hao in a daze, not thinking what Ning Hao said.

The investment is too high.

But it felt like it was too low. After all, as an invisible rich man, the investments he decided to make were at least tens of millions of dollars. He hadn't made a small investment like 3 million for who knows how long, so he was a little dazed.

And in addition to this, there was another reason for being confused. He vaguely remembered that "Crazy Stone" seemed to have done well at the box office.

Although I can’t remember the specific number, but according to the current situation of the domestic film market, why should a movie that can be rated as a good box office require a minimum of 20 million?

Of course, with an investment of 3 million, there may be some overspending, but it will definitely not exceed the investment of 4 million. The box office return of 20 million is just the box office. If you add in some other peripheral income, it will be a small gain.

Typical.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although this is a small way to make a big difference, the profit from some of Yang Dongxu's current projects is not much. But things that can make money are too much for the brain.

"Okay, okay." Ning Hao almost jumped up with excitement. Before he came, he had actually been prepared for the investment amount to be reduced by the other party, and even for the crew and actors to continue to fill in. After all, the investors in the domestic film industry are the uncles.

, such things happen frequently.

Unexpectedly, the other party only wanted one producer, and the others seemed to have no intention of getting involved, and the investment they wanted was not compromised at all.

As for project establishment and distribution, this was originally the reason why Ning Hao asked Ran Feifei for help. Without a film company to help with project establishment and distribution, how could Ning Hao watch the things he produced by himself?

Therefore, it can be said that all of my requirements have been met, and they have not made any excessive demands in return. This made the excited Ning Hao slowly start to feel a little uneasy.

"Um..." He rubbed his hands nervously.

"Oh, the director's fee, right? You can choose between two options. One is to pay you according to the market price, and the other is that you get a share of the box office. But you are a new director, and the director's fee will not be less for my aunt's sake.

Give it to you. But the box office share must not be too high for you." Yang Dongxu said.

"No, no. I don't want the director's fee. If you invest in my script, I can shoot it for free. I'm talking about that... that..."

"Oh? What is that?" Yang Dongxu was a little surprised when he heard the other party said it was free, but it was normal after thinking about it. After all, for a new director, it is already a great reward to be able to produce a work and give him a chance to prove it.

"Just an actor or something..." Ning Hao blushed a little.

After all, this request is actually a bit excessive, but when he wrote this script, he actually had some candidates for the roles in his mind. And he felt that those roles were very suitable, although it was inappropriate to make such a request at this time.

But most directors have obsessive-compulsive disorder, that is, some roles are not played by the actors they want, and they must feel uncomfortable. It's just that the more mature directors know how to compromise.

"You can make the decision if you have a suitable candidate, but first report it to Haina. If you think they are really suitable, then give Haina a suitable reason to agree."

Although Yang Dongxu knew that this movie would be a hit and that Ning Hao would become a great director in the future, he couldn't be suspicious of the business as soon as he started it without Yong Ren's full support.

Even if he wanted to, it would probably scare Ning Hao and make him even more uneasy. He wondered if Yang Dongxu was plotting something against him. After all, there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world.

"Okay, okay, the people I chose are really suitable and will definitely satisfy you." Ning Hao was so happy that he went to heaven.

Although he didn't get a definite answer, he knew that the other party was already very generous. He probably did it for Ran Feifei's sake. Otherwise, why would he, Ning Hao, a new director with no reputation, treat him like that?

Generous?

"Okay, take the script and go to Haina. I'll say hello there. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. I have a meeting in the afternoon." Yang Dongxu put the script on the table and looked at Ran Feifei.

"Go and do your work." Ran Feifei nodded.

Yang Dongxu was embarrassed to say hello to Yu Feihong and Jiang Wen: "I'll treat you to dinner and get together again when I have time."

After saying that, he stood up and left. He really had something to do. Hurricane Construction had come up with a plan to acquire Xinghai Hotel and Sanwan Travel Agency. He needed to have a meeting with the company's senior management to discuss it.

After all, the equity swap acquisition does not mean that his share is given to Li Fuzhen. Instead, the swapped shares need to be equally shared by the company's shareholders in proportion to their shareholdings. With Hurricane Construction's current assets of hundreds of billions, every decimal point is a lot of money.

"Your nephew is doing a lot of business, isn't he?" Jiang Wen glanced at the bodyguards who were leaving behind Yang Dongxu and asked curiously.

"He is the boss of Yang Jiayan and I am just a part-time worker. At the same time, he is also a shareholder of Haina." Ran Feifei said.

I only said the last words to give Ning Hao reassurance. Jiang Wen and others did not know Yang Dongxu's identity. Jiang Wen brought Ning Hao here today to ask her if she could invest in this movie.

Because he heard that Yu Feihong and Ran Feifei wanted to invest in a movie by themselves, so they should have money, and he was really optimistic about the script. As for the distribution matter, he originally planned to find a solution after raising investment.

What I didn't expect was that Ran Feifei felt good about it after reading the script, but she invested in Feihong's movie just out of curiosity and wanted to play. She had no intention of making money from it, so she called Yang Dongxu over.

It's just that her reassurance almost choked Jiang Wen and the others. That's Haina, a giant company that can be said to be top-notch across the country and even around the world, especially in Asia.

That is an existence at the overlord level.

It was enough to surprise them that Yang Jiayan belonged to Yang Dongxu. After all, it was a well-known catering company in the mainland. Although they didn't know how much assets Yang Jiayan had, they were sure that it was a safe billionaire.

But they didn't expect that while the other party was a young billionaire, he was also a shareholder of Haina. As insiders, they really felt like they were worshiping the big boss.

"Okay, let's end the party here today. Feihong and I have made an appointment to go to the spa so I won't accompany you." Ran Feifei said.

Although she hit it off with Yu Feihong and became sisters. Then she met Jiang Wen, Uncle Ge and others through Yu Feihong. But her relationship with Jiang Wen and others was not as good as with Yu Feihong, so naturally she didn't want to say too much about Yang Dongxu

things.
