The autumn rain continued, and the capital city was shrouded in water vapor. Vehicles, pedestrians, buildings and traffic lights all became dense.
Xiao Mo stared at the traffic light. The moment it changed colors, he rushed across the intersection, ran over the wet street, turned again and again, and stopped at the entrance of Huaxing International Cinema.
He got out of the car first, opened the back door, and opened the umbrella with a bang to cover his head.
"Are you going to have a funeral?"
Yao Yuan looked up at the huge black umbrella and his black suit.
"That's how it goes in movies, I have to hold an umbrella for you!"
"Movies are all about stretched Lincolns, why not drive a Volvo?"
"Good guy, whose parasol did you steal? It's easy to cover five people."
Xiao Mo is good at everything, he's just a bit of a middle-class guy.
I longed for the Jianghu complex in Hong Kong movies, and even imagined that one day my boss would be kidnapped, and I would sacrifice my life for justice and save my boss one life at a time.
The two of them entered the cinema. Shen Nanpeng was already waiting inside. He twitched his lips when he saw the umbrella in Xiao Mo's hand.
"Has it started yet?"
"No, I came just in time!"
Shen Nanpeng held a few tickets and said with a smile: "Don't tell me, since the Golden Harvest acquisition was launched, I suddenly became very interested in film and television dramas. I couldn't watch many movies in the past year, but now I come to watch them if I have nothing to do." "
"That disappoints you. This is another bad movie."
"No way, Feng Xiaogang still has two brushes."
"But no matter what, if you ask a poor kid who is used to making comedies to make Shakespeare, he won't be able to do it at all."
"Bitter child? Isn't he from the party school compound?"
"What a fart compound, oh, he was indeed from the party school compound when he was a child. His parents moved away after their divorce, and he lived with his mother. After joining the army and changing jobs, he was assigned to the Xizhimen grain depot. Later, he joined Zheng Xiaolong and Wang Shuo. You can get ahead by flattering others."
Yao Yuan casually told an allusion and said objectively: "Actually, there was nothing we could do. In those days, the big courtyard boy was a nobleman. What else could he do if he didn't flatter him?"
"This is the truth. Children from ordinary families must study well or have good relationships, otherwise it will be difficult for them to get ahead."
Several people entered the cinema.
What is shown today is Feng Xiaogang's new film "The Night Banquet", which has a decent beginning, with smooth rhythm and fast and sharp editing. The background is the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, including the death of Daniel Wu's emperor father and the succession of his uncle to the throne.
These are all okay, but when it comes to the main scene, Zhang Ziyi wears mourning clothes and walks through scenes that look like a combination of Chinese and Western scenes, and meets Ge You.
Ge You was wearing a suit of armor that looked like "Fighter of the Demon Altar" and said, "It doesn't suit me, I want a new one!"
Shen Nanpeng began to frown, turned around and said, "Is it really a bad movie?"
"That's true!"
You can tell whether a movie is bad or not by watching it for a few minutes.
The character of Ge You is extremely awkward. The actor and the role are not in tune, especially with the addition of *** lines: "You are the queen, the mother of the world, you are still kicking the quilt in the middle of the night, are you catching a cold?"
"Before tonight, I wasn't confused, because I only had Jiangshan in my heart. But after tonight, I was confused. With my sister-in-law, what else would Jiangshan do?"
e!
A sense of funny contrast emerges in the hearts of the audience. Is this a highly hyped international production? Is this the Eastern version of "Hamlet"?
This is obviously neither local nor foreign, neither fish nor fowl!
Shen Nanpeng raised his eyebrows and had given up watching. He chatted with Yao Yuan in a low voice: "I found Sig Haina Asia Venture Capital and a private equity fund in Hong Kong called Huiyou Capital. They are very willing to participate. Plus Kongzong.com, to99, there are 6 Sequoias in total. It’s no problem to eat Jiahe. Huiyou’s boss also knows Zou Wenhuai, so we can talk about it on a personal note. The problem now is that everyone knows how to play and are not keen on making movies. But at least there must be a project that can be justified to the supervisory agencies and retail investors.”
"How much do you plan to invest?"
"The three of us will invest 400 million to buy 35% of your shares."
"I'm so poor that I can't afford much money. I'll give you 25% of the 400 million at most."
"30%!"
"Then 500 million!"
When the mall first raised funds, 20% of the 200 million yuan was given away. That was a normal investment behavior, aiming for long-term development. Now this is different. Everyone is cutting leeks together for capital operation, and we cannot use common sense to calculate.
Just like Chengtian Entertainment in history, Japan's Ai Hui Company spent 400 million to buy 25% of Chengtian's shares.
Does Chengtian have such a high valuation? Of course not!
Currently, Zhou Yunfan and Wang Leilei each hold 20% of the shares of Xinli Media, 99 Entertainment holds 60%, and Sequoia, Sig Haina Asia Ventures, and Huiyou Capital are also expected to join.
The two talked for a while and reached a stalemate. Shen Nanpeng said: "In this way, you can first show the project for everyone to see. Only if the project is suitable will we have the confidence to operate it."
"Can!"
"Don't fool me with "Manslaughter", it's not a big project."
"I have projects, including ten or eight, just to avoid being spoiled for choice. Moreover, my projects are not just for operation, they can also make money themselves."
Shen Nanpeng looked at this guy and had a very strange feeling. 99 Entertainment has not made many movies, but its vision is so frightening that even "Charlotte" can beat many serious movies.
Right now "Struggle" is also on the air, and it never misses a beat.
Having said this, it’s almost the second half of “The Night Banquet” and it’s still the same shit.
Shen Nanpeng thought for a while and then said: "Chen Yizhou is acquiring Xiaonei.com. His products are mediocre, his ability to find investors is top-notch, and his strength is rising quickly. In fact, if you accept financing, there will be people investing 1 billion US dollars. It's a pity for you Too stubborn."
"The community is my dream. I hope it will not be contaminated with any impurities. If one day I can no longer control it, I will sell it."
Yao Yuan talked about his love for the community in front of various people. Everyone believed that this was his lifeblood. Little did they know that he was already thinking about how to rip off Lilan and change his identity to start Weibo.
At the end of "The Night Banquet", Ge You, Daniel Wu, and Zhou Xun were all dead, and Zhang Ziyi was also stabbed to death.
Jane Zhang's singing voice, which dominated the screen this year, also rang out on the big screen. The audience sighed secretly and felt a sense of emptiness. It was not the feeling of emptiness after being satisfied after watching the movie, but a feeling of loneliness.
"Honestly, if it weren't for Jiahe's brand name and those real estate properties, I wouldn't agree to join the company even if you boast about it."
Shen Nanpeng stood up, looked at the screen and shook his head.
"Yeah, these works don't give investors much hope, but we care about people." Yao Yuan smiled and walked out of the cinema together.
The rain outside eased a bit, so they said goodbye, and Xiao Mo drove the Volvo through the wet streets again, returning to Palm Springs.
There was no one at home, so Yinyin went back to her mother's house.
Yao Yuan hadn't eaten yet, so he cooked two bags of instant noodles and brought them to the living room. The first part of "Country Love Story" was playing on the TV, which heralded the official start of the 14-part "Country Love Story" universe.
By the way, it has supported countless film and television ups for future generations.
"Look carefully, this man's name is Yongqiang!"
"Look carefully, this woman's name is Xie Dajia!"
Yao Yuan was eating instant noodles and staring at the TV, but his mind was not on it. He was only thinking about some big exciting project.
