Chapter 216 Pony Zhonglifang

Wang Zhonglei was not annoyed by the polite rejection, and continued: "The film "The Wind"..." Wang Zhonglei was a little bit embarrassed.

The two companies are cooperating very well now, and Wang Zhonglei would not be so shy if he wanted to invest a share.

"Boss Wang has something to say." Cheng Yu'an took a sip of water.

"Chen Guofu really likes the story of "The Wind". Originally, we wanted to buy it for him to make, but we didn't expect Cheng Dao to buy the copyright first. If Cheng Dao is willing to part with it, Hua Yi will definitely not let Cheng Dao suffer."

The Wang brothers value Chen Guofu very much. After joining Huayi, Chen Guofu helped the brothers supervise the production of "Kekexil", "A World Without Thieves", "Assembly" and the upcoming "If You Are the One".

Among Huayi's best-selling movies in recent years, eight out of ten were produced by Chen Guofu.

Now that Chen Guofu wanted "The Wind", Wang Zhonglei naturally tried his best to help him get it.

But I don't want to even think about picking out the flesh from Cheng Yuan's mouth.

Cheng Yu'an smiled and said, "Everyone lacks a good project and a good book. I like "The Wind" after reading it."

Wang Zhonglei made an offer: "If Long-distance can cut off love, we can buy back the copyright of "The Wind" at a premium of 20%, and in terms of film investment, we will not let Cheng Dao suffer a loss."

Does Cheng Yu'an need that little money: "Mr. Wang is joking, I plan to make this movie myself."

What the two of them were fighting was actually an abacus.

Wang Zhonglei wanted to use "The Wind" to raise the valuation of Huayi, which was about to go public, and Cheng Yu'an wanted to raise the share price of Golden Harvest Entertainment.

"The Wind" is the pinnacle of the spy war, and together with the upcoming "Latent", the two films will open the curtain of a domestic spy war film, which will greatly stimulate the market.

The stock price is a little higher, and the market value is hundreds of millions. Yuanyuan is not short of money, but Cheng Yuan will not be stupid enough to give up this project to Huayi.

Wang Zhonglei hit a wall with Cheng Yu'an, chatted for a while and left.

After Wang Zhonglei left, he thought he could eat something with peace of mind, but before he had eaten two bites, Xiaoma's Zhong Lifang climbed up again.

The hottest producer in the industry this year is Zhong Lifang.

Many people in Xiaoma were dissatisfied with Zhong Lifang, but she secured her position as Senior Vice President of Xiaoma and General Manager of Galloping Horse Pictures with her solid achievements.

She entered Manhattan, New York alone, and joined forces with India's Reliance Group to swallow Cameron's digital kingdom.

It also brought Xiaoma $4000 million in Series A funding—the largest single funding round in the industry.

Known as the most financial woman in the film and television industry.

Now who sees her and can't call Miss Zhong?
"Director Cheng, long time no see." The two didn't see each other very often, and only spoke a few times at industry gatherings.

"Sister Fang." Cheng Yu'an raised his glass to clink a glass with her.

Zhong Lifang didn't have the idea of ​​a long-distance project. Pony Pictures had just started, so she came here just to refresh her face and get close to Cheng Yu'an so that she could cooperate in the future.

"Congratulations to Director Cheng's "Painted Skin" breaking 2 million."

Cheng Yu'an smiled: "I can't compare to Sister Fang in this little fight."

"Director Cheng was joking." Zhong Lifang said politely.

Cheng Yu'an asked her tentatively: "Sister Fang, what do you think of me remotely?"

That's right, Cheng Yu'an wanted to dig Zhong Lifang.

Zhong Lifang was like a fine person, as soon as he heard Cheng Yu'an's words, he knew what he was up to.

But she didn't answer, and said: "Of course, it goes without saying that Remote is a mountain top in domestic production, not to mention Cheng Dao's achievements in Hollywood, which really embarrassed us domestic filmmakers. Who wouldn't say that?" You are Cheng Dao’s young talent, Cheng Lingfeng and Cheng Zong’s heroine.”

Xiaoma is mainly engaged in TV dramas, and has made many good movies, such as "The Sky of History", "Sweet Honey", and "My Brother's Name is Shunliu", which is about to be finalized.

Xiao Ma has never dared to enter the film industry, the risk is too great.

Xiao Ma’s big dog brother said: “It’s very difficult to make a movie, and the risk is even greater. I think making a movie is like gambling. After you push it up, you may come back with multiples, or you may have nothing. .”

"What should you do if your work is good but can't be sold? What if you can't send it to the theaters? What if you send it to the theaters and the schedule is not good? Or what if the amount is not enough?"

But in the past few years, it has become more and more difficult to make TV dramas. Xiao Ma is good at military themes, which has something to do with Big Dog's military background.

But in the past two years, due to the long-distance entry, 2-3 TV dramas have been produced steadily every year, and there are even popular military movies such as "Soldier Assault" and "Bright Sword", which hit the pony's seven inches.

The pony's road is even more difficult.

There are only a few TV stations, and if Remote sells one more drama, Xiao Ma's market will be squeezed by one more point.

Looking at the rapid development of Yuanyuan in the film market, it has only been established for six or seven years, and it is half divided with Huayi. It would be a lie to say that Xiao Ma is not envious.

Everyone knows that movies make more money than TV shows.

So, seeing that "Painted Skin" broke [-] million, and Guangliang and Huayi were full of food because of the long-distance cooperation, Brother Big Dog also moved his mind to make a movie.

Coupled with the long-distance acquisition of Golden Harvest, he opened up the theater chain and the distribution side, and the layout of the industrial chain was gradually improved, and Xiao Ma couldn't sit still.

At the end of the year, Galloping Horse Films was established, preparing to enter the film market.

But the first movie still needs to be cautious, so Zhong Lifang was sent to probe Cheng Yu'an's tone.

Zhong Lifang knew that the film directed by Cheng Yu'an himself would not be short of money.

Although it is an unpopular spy movie, as soon as the "The Wind" project was exposed, several major long-distance partners: Huayi, Guangxian, and China Film Group prepared 6000 million start-up funds for Cheng Yu'an.

Can't say enough.

Cheng Yu'an personally received 500 million for the film director.

Bernard's Yu Dong scratched the remote door and couldn't get involved, let alone the newly established Galloping Horse Films.

Zhong Lifang and Cheng Yu'an sat together and chatted for ten minutes, always inquiring about remote projects for the coming year.

Cheng Yu'an said with a smile: "You should talk to Lingfeng or Guo Fei about the project. Our company has always welcomed major investors."

It is taboo in the film and television industry to eat alone. Except for Bernard in the mixed Hong Kong circle, Remote has maintained very good cooperation with many state-owned studios and private companies.

"Painted Skin" made a fortune with Ningxia Film Factory, which had not opened for ten years.

Xiao Ma has extraordinary strength in the field of TV dramas and advertising, and has rich resources in channels and platforms. Cooperation with them is of course beneficial to the distance, and Cheng Yu'an also welcomes it.

With Cheng Yu'an's verbal consent, Zhong Lifang was very happy, and the relationship was settled: "Thank you Director Cheng, I'll take this drink."

Zhong Lifang offered a toast to Cheng Yu'an, but did not accept the olive branch that Cheng Yu'an threw openly and secretly: "Thank you Director Cheng for trusting me, but Brother Big Dog is kind to me, I am doing well in Pony."

"This kind of thing is not forced. In the future, the two companies will cooperate more and we will have more contacts." It was a bit whimsical to want to poach Zhong Lifang from the pony in 08. Cheng Yu'an is not in a hurry, just plant the seeds.

After Zhong Lifang left, Cheng Yu'an finished his meal hastily, greeted Han Dong, and left early.
