I am a director, but I have the skills of an actor

Chapter 116 Talking about cooperation

The paparazzi in Hong Kong are very well-informed. It didn't take long for many paparazzi to know what happened at the banquet.

So the next morning, the front pages of almost all newspapers and newspapers in Hong Kong were the news that Wan Qingshan looked down on Hong Kong Islanders and Anthony Wong during the interview, and was kicked out of the hotel under Wan Qingshan's few words!
When these news papers spread, Wan Qingshan and Jiang Zhiqiang were signing a contract to buy out the box office profits of "Loyal Liver and Righteous Brave" in Bayan.

Just after signing the contract, the secretary with a curvy figure and a charming face walked in holding a newspaper!
The secretary smiled politely at Wan Qingshan, then turned her eyes and shouted in a soft and waxy voice, "Jiang Sheng, look at this newspaper, the ten entertainment news newspapers delivered today, The front page news is almost the same as the front page of this newspaper!”

This squeaking sound made Wan Qingshan's heart tremble and goosebumps appeared all over his body!

Jiang Zhiqiang smiled at his secretary and took the newspaper.

After looking at it twice, Jiang Zhiqiang handed the newspaper to Wanqingshan.

"Haha, Director Wan, look at it!"

Wan Qingshan took the newspaper and scanned the news on the front page, and he couldn't help but laugh.

The front-page news report began with Wan Qingshan looking down on Hong Kong Islanders when asked by reporters at the promotional venue for "Loyal Liver and Righteous Bravery".

Then with a bunch of words, Wanqingshan was described as an arrogant, domineering and arrogant person.

The next step is to list the previous glorious achievements of Hong Kong Island's film and television industry, saying that Wan Qingshan's achievements are not worth mentioning here on Hong Kong Island.

Then there was the report that Anthony Wong was kicked out of the banquet. In a long description, Huang Qiusheng said something on behalf of the Hong Kong Islanders to Wan Qingshan not to look down on the Hong Kong Islanders. Then, under Wan Qingshan’s arrogant threat, he was beaten by Zeng Chiwei and the others. Get out of the banquet!

These reports are subjective, but nothing about it is funny!

What made Wan Qingshan laugh was that the newspaper actually wrote out Jiang Zhiqiang, Zeng Zhiwei and other people who drove Huang Qiusheng away one by one!

List them one by one and call on them in an angry tone to unite with the people of Hong Kong and not to be accomplices of outsiders.

From the perspective of newspaper editors, they must think that such reporting is good. While saving face for Zeng Chiwei and others, it can also unite all Hong Kong Islanders.
If we don’t want to save face for Tsang Chi-wai and others, we should write them as Hong Kong traitors and heinous scoundrels. This will stimulate newspaper sales even more.

But what they don't know is that in order to prove their attitude to the superiors, Zeng Zhiwei and others absolutely do not want these newspapers to save face for them.

These newspapers save them face, and they will definitely find trouble with the newspaper company.

If they don't cause trouble with the newspaper, it doesn't mean that they want to unite with the people of Hong Kong and treat the mainland as outsiders. Then Huang Qiusheng's departure yesterday would have been in vain.

Wan Qingshan smiled and when he put down the newspaper, the devil-shaped secretary was in his peripheral vision.

Wan Qingshan suddenly thought that the secretary just said that ten entertainment news newspapers and this newspaper had almost the same reports.

These newspapers all treat the mainland as outsiders. If the newspapers are like this, then it goes without saying that people in the Hong Kong film and television circles must be the same way.

Over the past decade or so, although it has been revealed that only a dozen Hong Kong artists have made inappropriate remarks or behaved improperly, there must be many people like them who have not been exposed!
"Mr. Jiang, if you go to the mainland for development in the future, you'd better choose carefully the artists and crew members you bring over from Hong Kong Island.

The mainland is different from Hong Kong Island. As long as there is no big fuss on Hong Kong Island, there will generally be no problems. "

Wan Qingshan said, putting the newspaper on the table and tapping it lightly, "But if you go to the mainland and they say something similar to what is in this newspaper, it will definitely affect you!"

Jiang Zhiqiang's expression suddenly changed slightly, and then his expression returned to its usual appearance, with a friendly smile on his face.

"Director Wan, thank you for reminding me!"

"Mr. Jiang, even if I don't say anything, you will definitely notice it in the future." Wan Qingshan replied with a smile.

Afterwards, Wan Qingshan and Jiang Zhiqiang chatted for a few words and suggested that it was getting late and it was time to leave.

Welcomed by Jiang Zhiqiang, Wan Qingshan left Anle Pictures, got in the car and returned to the hotel to join Zeng Li and others.

Then, with the staff of Anle Pictures seeing her off, she left Hong Kong Island and returned to Shenzhen.

Hong Kong Island is the last stop for publicity, so after returning to Shenzhen, Wan Qingshan and the others prepared to leave separately.

After Zeng Li and others left, Wan Qingshan waited at the pass for a while, and Chen Yumo drove over.

Arriving at the Chen Group, after Chen Yumo brought Wan Qingshan to Chen Yanfeng's office, she walked out.

As soon as Chen Yumo left, Chen Yanfeng said, "Qingshan, Yumo told me, do you want to get me to partner in a theater chain?"

Although Chen Yumo said before that she would not serve as Wan Qingshan's messenger, she couldn't help telling Chen Yanfeng after returning home.

"Didn't you say that I'm not the messenger?" Wan Qingshan muttered in his heart, then nodded, "Yes, uncle, I want to cooperate with you to open a theater chain, I -"

Wan Qingshan is Chen Yumo's boyfriend. Chen Yanfeng was afraid that Wan Qingshan would talk about cooperation, but he didn't reveal his identity properly.

So, as soon as Wan Qingshan finished talking about cooperating to open a theater chain, he interrupted Wan Qingshan.

"Wait a minute, Qingshan, since you are asking me for business cooperation, then we have to put aside our personal relationship and follow business methods.

According to the procedures for commercial investment, you must first introduce to me the prospects and risks of the cinema industry! "

It was normal to put aside personal matters when talking about cooperation, but Wan Qingshan always felt it was a bit strange, but for a while, he couldn't think of what was strange.

Unable to think of anything strange, Wanqingshan stopped thinking about it.

Then, he thought about it in his heart and said slowly,
“Uncle, I just make movies and don’t know much about economic development.

However, in the past two years, I have been to several cities for roadshows and found that the appearance of the cities is different every year. From this, I can see that the economic growth in the past few years must be good. "

Chen Yanfeng nodded slightly, "Well, the economy has been growing rapidly in recent years, and my company's business is getting better year by year."

"Uncle, there are 13 billion people in the country. Due to economic problems, only a small number of people will go to the cinema to watch movies.

As long as the economy develops, the number of people going to the movies will increase rapidly.The year I just graduated, the total box office of movies was about one billion.

Last year's total box office was almost 16 billion.

This year's box office should be almost 17 billion by now. There are still two months left in this year, and the total box office will definitely exceed 20 billion!
In two years, under the rapid economic growth, the total box office of domestic movies has doubled, which proves what I said.As long as the economy continues to develop, more and more people will go to movie theaters to watch movies!
Theater chains are terminals in the film industry chain, selling movies to audiences.

If there are not enough theaters, even if more people want to watch movies, the movie market will not prosper.

The higher authorities also know the importance of the cinema chain link, so in the new policy the year before last, they expressed strong support for newly opened cinema chains.
With the strong support from above, theater chains will be the fastest growing link in the film industry. "

Wan Qingshan paused for a moment, and after organizing his thoughts in his mind, he continued,

“As for risks, theaters are the lowest risk among the various links in the film industry.

A theater chain is just a store that sells movies. It only needs to bear low-risk expenses such as labor, water, electricity, and rent. Unlike a producer, which needs to bear high-risk movie costs!
However, theater chains may not be able to make money in the past few years. After all, the proportion of moviegoers in the total population is still too low!

But it only takes a few years. After the economy develops and the number of people watching movies increases significantly, theater chains can just sit back and collect money!
Of course, under special circumstances, theater chains will face great risks.Just like the SARS incident two years ago, theaters in the south were unable to open.

In order to prevent this risk, I plan to buy the theater land instead of renting it.

Although development is much slower in this way, the ability to withstand risks is relatively strong. Even if the theater chain cannot operate for a while, there is no need to bear rent.

Moreover, the real estate industry has been growing rapidly in recent years, and land will definitely become more and more expensive in the future. Buying land for a theater will not only save costs, but it is also a disguised investment. "

After Chen Yanfeng thought silently for a moment, his whole demeanor suddenly changed. His eyes were sharp and his expression was serious, which was daunting.

“The prospects sound pretty good, too.

However, the growth rate of the building materials industry in the past two years is no slower than that of the film market.Why don't I increase my efforts to develop in the building materials industry, but instead use the money to cooperate with you to open a theater chain?
Although the risk is very small, you said it will take several years to make money. With the current speed of economic development, I think it will take at least three years!
In three years, if I invest this money into the building materials industry, which is growing at the same high speed and does not need to wait for a long time, it will at least bring me double the profit!

Tell me now, what other attraction does the theater chain have that makes me invest the money that should have been invested in the building materials industry instead? "

Wan Qingshan was immediately confused by Chen Yanfeng's normal business investment question!
Chen Yanfeng's question made him feel that Chen Yanfeng should not cooperate with him to open a theater chain. He should concentrate on building materials and make money from real estate and infrastructure that have been developing crazily for more than ten years!

Seeing that Wan Qingshan was stunned, Chen Yanfeng's demeanor changed again, no longer intimidating.

"Qingshan, if you can't answer my question about the appeal of the theater chain and let me divert the money I invest in the building materials industry to the theater chain, I won't be able to cooperate with you."

"Uh, uh,,"

Suddenly, Wan Qingshan, who didn't know what to say, suddenly came to his senses.

I understand why Chen Yanfeng’s previous statement about putting aside personal relationships and following business methods made him feel strange.
He was led into a misunderstanding by Chen Yanfeng's words. His cooperation with Chen Yanfeng was not a real business cooperation. He came here just for Chen Yanfeng's personal relationship.

Immediately, Wan Qingshan had some doubts in his heart!
"Yu Mo has already told me, uncle, why did he make it like a business negotiation and involve me in it?"

After muttering something in his heart, Wan Qingshan smiled and said,

"Uncle, I was confused just now and forgot to tell you.

I am not looking for your cooperation to attract investment from you. I am worried that after the theater chain is opened, someone will cause trouble. I am looking for your cooperation to find connections.You can invest whatever you want and occupy the position of a shareholder. "

These words made Chen Yanfeng stunned for a moment.

"Girl, why don't you speak clearly?" Chen Yanfeng muttered in his heart, then laughed dryly and said, "That's right."

Seeing Chen Yanfeng's expression of embarrassment, Wan Qingshan said quickly, "Yes, uncle, I was confused just now and I didn't explain it clearly to you. I'm really sorry."

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay." Chen Yanfeng said with the smile of the donkey down the slope.

Immediately, after the embarrassment subsided, Chen Yanfeng thought silently for a moment and said, "Since you are looking for connections to avoid trouble, Yumo must have told you about her Grandpa Feng."

"Uncle, I thought that you must have something to do with opening the Chen Group on such a large scale, so I asked Yumo. Uncle, I really couldn't find anyone, so I came to you shamelessly."

“You have to have a thick skin when doing business, otherwise you don’t do business, otherwise you will lose money sooner or later.”

Immediately, Chen Yanfeng frowned and continued, "It's hard for me to make a decision on this matter. After all, I don't understand the cinema chain industry, and I don't know which departments you will deal with when opening a cinema chain, so I have to call and ask Yumo. Grandpa Feng.”

"You should, you should, you should ask. Uncle, I'm troubling you."

"If you're okay, stay here for two days. I'll call you in the next two days to check."

"Uncle, I haven't had much to do recently. I'll be fine even if I stay here for ten days and a half."

After the business talk was over, Chen Yanfeng took Wan Qingshan to talk about Penguin stocks.

When talking about Penguin stocks, Chen Yanfeng looks happy!
At first, Chen Yanfeng took money to trade Penguin stocks with Wan Qingshan. After he came back, he drank too much with his friends and told them about it.

Then, everyone around him said that he would definitely lose money and advised him to sell it as soon as possible!

At that time, the price of Penguin stocks was falling, so he was often teased by his friends, saying that he dared to buy Penguin stocks because he had too much money!

The price was falling, and his friend's joke made Chen Yanfeng regret it and wanted to sell Penguin shares.

However, when Chen Yanfeng thought about it, he had talked about Wanqing Mountain and expressed his optimism for penguins.

Wan Qingshan was a junior, and none of his juniors sold. He, an elder who was optimistic about Penguin stocks, sold it first. How could he have any dignity in doing so, so he endured it without selling.

Then - not long after, Penguin's stock began to rise continuously, and now it has doubled, which made Chen Yanfeng feel very proud.

During this time, he had nothing to do, so he mentioned Penguin stock in front of his friends, and even joked that they had been in the company for so many years, but they could still misunderstand it!
