Rebirth Starts at 7 Million

Generally speaking, Mr. Lei's new energy vehicle conference is quite successful.

The response from all walks of life in the society is also good. It can be regarded as the first shot, and Luo Fan can be regarded as relieved. Everything is difficult at the beginning. After this step is over, the subsequent development should be relatively smooth.

"Boss, Mr. Qin told me just now that I should inform her after Mr. Lei's press conference is over. She should be looking for you." Su Qing said.

"Uh, then tell her, if you have something to do, come here quickly! It's already 5 o'clock, let her hurry up."

Su Qing nodded and told Qin Beibei what Luo Fan said.

A few minutes later there was a knock on the door.

Luo Fan signaled Su Qing to open the door.

Su Qing led Qin Beibei to Luo Fan's desk.

"Boss, I want to discuss with you about wandering the earth." Qin Beibei said straight to the point.

"The Wandering Earth? Isn't the promotion plan for this movie already determined?"

"I'm not talking about domestic propaganda, but foreign propaganda."

"Overseas? Do you still want The Wandering Earth to be screened abroad?" Luo Fan asked in surprise.

"Yes, boss, I think it can be screened abroad with the quality of The Wandering Earth."

"Have you ever asked foreign film distribution companies?"

"I asked, but I'm not too satisfied that foreign publishers are too dark."

"Then you want to..."

"Boss, we can consider buying a foreign distribution company."

Luo Fan, who was drinking coffee, almost choked when he heard Qin Beibei's words.

"Qin Beibei, do you know what you're talking about?"

"Boss, I know exactly what I'm talking about, and my idea is no different from when you invested in theaters, boss.

At that time, the company didn't have enough funds, and the movie theater in Shanghai was only 300 square meters, with 3 large screening halls. Didn't you still do it?

There is no problem at all with the current financial resources of Xingyuan to acquire a foreign distribution company. "

Luo Fan was silent when he heard the words. If there was no epidemic, he would not mind buying a foreign distribution company.

Because the film industry does realize very quickly, having a foreign distribution company is also very beneficial to the follow-up development of Xingyuan Entertainment.

Once there is a foreign distribution company, Xingyuan can also start to pursue the global simultaneous release of movies.

Whether a movie can maximize its benefits, global simultaneous release is actually very important. Those popular movies in the United States generally seek global synchronization.

This is not only needed by filmmakers, but also by domestic theaters and stakeholders, and the urgency can be said to be equal.

Even if it cannot be synchronized, the time span should not be too large as much as possible, otherwise, once the follow-up film sources are released, it will inevitably affect the box office revenue of a region.

For example, Avengers 4, the release time of Avengers 4 in the previous world was even a week earlier than that in the United States.

This is also for Huaxia's box office revenue.

And fans in the United States can only endure for a week, blocking all Avengers 4 keywords on the Internet during that week to prevent spoilers.

But one week later is the limit, and the later one year, or even half a year later, how many people will come to the cinema to watch movies?

However, American movies can be screened globally because the coaxing system of American movies is very mature.

On the other hand, Huaxia's films have not yet completed industrialization standards, and commercial films cannot compare with Hollywood. Huaxia's purely commercial films compete in overseas markets, and it is thankless.

Take the Wandering Earth as an example. Luo Fan remembered that after the domestic explosion of the Wandering Earth in his previous life, he also sought to go to the United States for screening.

At that time, the number of screens allocated to The Wandering Earth was pitifully small, and the final box office, judging from a single screen, was only at the middle or lower level among Hollywood movies.

This is why Luo Fan didn't want Wandering Earth to be released in the United States at first.

As for Huaxia's participating films that want to win awards, time is actually not important for such films.

Because most of these movies are realistic dramas,

Even literary films that are obscure and difficult to understand in the eyes of ordinary people.

Even if it is a Hollywood literary film, there is not much market.

For example, the Oscar best film "Green Book", the final box office results are mediocre.

Most of the people who contribute to the box office of this kind of film really like movies, and they like to watch good movies in places with atmosphere like theaters.

So to sum up, Luo Fan is not ignorant of the necessity of global simultaneous screenings.

But in Luo Fan's view, even if Huaxia's movies are supported by Starry Sky Engine, because the industrial system is not perfect and the global simultaneous screenings will not get any high box office.

Moreover, the epidemic may break out. The impact of the epidemic on the film industry is too great. At this time, the acquisition of a distribution company is not purely throwing money into the sea?

Thinking of this, Luo Fan directly rejected Qin Beibei's proposal, and told Qin Beibei his thoughts.

Qin Beibei wanted to persuade Luo Fan, but Luo Fan's attitude was very tough, so she could only leave disappointed.

Qin Beibei came out of Luo Fan's office and called Teng Shanfeng: "Boss Teng, the boss refused. He doesn't agree to buy the distribution company in the US."

"Why? We managed to connect with Disney, and now Xingyuan's special effects team is also famous in Hollywood. Now is the perfect time for us to enter Hollywood!" Teng Shanfeng said.

"The boss is not opposed to entering Hollywood. He doesn't want to acquire a distribution company. The boss thinks that China's film industry system is too far behind Hollywood. Even if it can be released simultaneously, it will not make money."

"The gap in the industrial system can be bridged."

"You can tell the boss yourself, I won't go." After saying that, Qin Beibei hung up the phone.

Later Teng Shanfeng really went to find Luo Fan, and Luo Fan could tell that Teng Shanfeng really loved this profession.

However, Luo Fan does not intend to increase investment in Xingyuan Entertainment and its related industries, especially the acquisition of foreign distribution companies, let alone the possibility.

After being rejected by Luo Fan, Teng Shanfeng left with the same disappointment as Qin Beibei.

After solving this matter, nothing major happened in the company for the next half a month.

Before I knew it, time came to February 12, 2018, and today is Xingyuan's annual meeting.

As Xingyuan has more and more staff members, the scale of the annual meeting is also getting bigger and bigger, and the various programs are getting more and more exciting.

The only constant is the fixed lottery items.

This year's first prize is still a 160-square-meter luxury house in Shanghai, the second prize is four 50-square-meter one-bedroom apartments, the third prize is ten big red envelopes of 200,000 yuan, and the fourth prize is 100 yuan. A new year shopping quota of 20,000 yuan for Pinduoduo.

The rest is a consolation prize of 5,000 yuan in red envelopes.

This year's first prize was drawn by an old employee who has worked in the company for 5 years.

This old employee bought the original shares of Xiaopozhan and Pinduoduo when they went public. He has already achieved economic freedom, and this house is the icing on the cake.

Two of the remaining four small apartments were drawn by newcomers who had been employed for less than a year, and the remaining two were drawn by veteran employees.

Of the 10 big red envelopes of 200,000 yuan, only one was drawn by new employees, and the rest were drawn by old employees.

As for Xingyuan's executives, they didn't even get a 4th prize in the lottery this year, they were all consolation prizes.

"Tsk! We are really unlucky this year! We don't even have a fourth prize, let alone a grand prize." Wang Jing said.

"Brother Wang, do you still like this little money?" Li Jingyi asked.

"Whether you can see it or not is one thing, the key is to be happy."

"Indeed, what Brother Wang said is right, if you get a prize for the New Year's Eve, not to mention anything else, at least you feel at ease." Xu Jiale echoed.

"Speaking of Chinese New Year, what kind of customs do you have over there? I heard that the customs of the north and the south are quite different during the New Year." Wang Hui asked.

"It's true that the difference is quite big. Let me talk about myself first! We bj people mainly focus on food during the Spring Festival.

The old bj circulated a folk song: "Tanggua sacrifices the stove, and the New Year is coming." The first food that enters the festival is the small food such as sugarmelon and Kanto sugar used for "sacrificing the stove", which heralds that the Spring Festival is coming soon.

When the Laba porridge is eaten, it will be considered that the New Year is coming. The New Year’s Eve dinner must have meatballs and fish, which symbolizes "family reunion" and "more than every year".

According to traditional customs, dumplings must be eaten, but not on the New Year's Eve. Old bj pays attention to eating "five-geng dumplings", which is to eat on the morning of the first day of the new year. "Old bj man Zhou Yuqing explained to everyone.

"We in the Northeast are different. We are used to calling the Spring Festival a "big year".

We Northeast people like to eat dumplings. During the Laba Festival, we start to marinate Laba garlic, which is a must-have leftover for dipping dumplings.

After the Laba Festival, people start to prepare new year’s goods, the most important of which is to kill pigs. When killing pigs, people will put the fat meat, blood sausage and sauerkraut together in a big pot to stew. The famous "killing pig dish". "Teng Shanfeng said.

"Boss, where are you?" Xu Jiale asked.

"We in Shanxi should be similar to Hebei, the hometowns of Mr. Wang and Mr. Qin. I'll make it easy for you to understand.

Twenty-one, come to clean the house; twenty-three, send the stove king; twenty-five, the lake window; twenty-six, stew big meat; twenty-seven, butcher the rooster; Spring Festival couplets; on New Year's Eve, the family eats dumplings happily. "

After listening to Luo Fan's words, Wang Jing said with a smile: "It's almost the same, but most of us sweep the house on 24th. After the year, we go back to the door on the second and third day of the new year. On the fifth day, we set off firecrackers and dance Yangko, but we are not allowed to do needlework." live."

As they talked, a trace of nostalgia flashed in the eyes of Xingyuan's high-level executives, obviously remembering the scene during the Chinese New Year.

"By the way, brother, have you settled the matter?" Luo Fan asked.

Cao Shuai smiled wryly when he heard the words, how can this matter be solved so easily, this is a modern society, not a feudal dynasty where men can have three wives and four concubines.

"Is Mr. Cao in any trouble?" Qin Beibei asked.

"That's right! But you guys can't help much." Cao Shuai responded casually.

When everyone heard the words, they stopped asking more questions.

After the annual meeting, Xingyuan's work this year will be completely over.

The next day, Luo Fan, Li Jingyi, Gao Meng, and Cao Shuai returned to Shanxi together in Luo Fan's private jet.

After getting off the plane, Luo Fan saw Luo Hai who came to pick him up.

Originally, Luo Fan planned to ask Su Qing to help her arrange a car at the airport in Bingzhou, so he drove back directly.

But Luo Hai said that he happened to come to Bingzhou to buy things today, so he could take Luo Fan back by the way.

Luo Fan didn't take Luo Hai's car for a long time, so he nodded in agreement.

The four were transferred from the plane to Luo Hai's car.

Luo Hai's current car is the q7 that Luo Fan drove before. This car has a lot of space, and they don't feel crowded when they all sit in it.

"Zhuang Zhuang, I haven't seen you for a year, and you've become handsome again." Luo Hai said to Cao Shuai as soon as the four of them got into the car.

"Uncle, you are getting younger and younger!" Cao Shuai said with a smile.

"You are so young! I am 53 now! I want to hug my grandson quickly, but some people just can't do it!"

Luo Fan rolled his eyes and said, "Dad, your car is not stable!"

"Why is it unstable? Your dad and I have been driving for more than 20 years."

"Can you drive steadily while being distracted all the time? How about you stop the car? I'll drive!"

Hearing this, Luo Hai rolled his eyes and was too lazy to talk nonsense with this "rebellious son".

Afterwards, Luo Hai greeted Li Jingyi again, and Li Jingyi didn't feel impatient at all, and responded one by one with a smile.

More than three hours later, Luo Fan and the others returned to the city.

At noon today, they were going to have lunch at Luo Fan's house, which Cao Hongying specially told Luo Hai.

Luo Hai took the four of them home, and Cao Hongying had already prepared a large table of dishes.

When Cao Hongying saw that the crowd had come back, she immediately asked them to sit down and brought them hot coke boiled with sliced ​​ginger.

"Second Aunt, do you need my help here? I'll help you!" Cao Shuai walked into the kitchen and asked.

"No, no, Zhuangzhuang, you go back and sit down, I'll finish it right away."

Cao Shuai sat back obediently upon hearing this.

"Brother, you still have to show yourself at this time! Can't you just sit still?" Luo Fan complained in a low voice.

"What's wrong with being good in front of the elders? They are happy and I am happy too!"

"Indeed, I was preempted by your cousin just now, otherwise I would have gone up." Li Jingyi said.

Gao Meng rolled her eyes when she heard the words, she felt the same as Luo Fan now, the more those who will make trouble behave in front of the elders, the more embarrassing they will be for those who are not.

In other words,,,..version. 】

Soon Cao Hongying brought the last braised octopus to the table.

She washed her hands and sat down.

"It's all commonplace food. Don't be disgusted with those of you who are used to eating delicacies outside."

"Second Aunt, what are you talking about! No matter how good the food outside is, how can it compare to our own food?" Cao Shuai said as he put a piece of meat into his mouth, and said several times that it was delicious.

The smile on Cao Hongying's face became brighter when she heard this, she just likes her nephew, sweet-talking will make trouble.

Cao Shuai and Li Jingyi were present, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was very lively.

Luo Hai asked Luo Fan about their work, while Cao Hongying expressed concern about everyone's health.

The meal was almost finished, Cao Hongying glanced at Luo Fan and Li Jingyi and asked, "Luo Fan, tell mom, when are you two going to get married?"
