"I'm not interested. I don't want to make wedding clothes for others and end up burning bridges." Anyone who hears such a flat refusal will be very unhappy. Zeng Zhiwei can't believe it, but he came with great confidence.
Unexpectedly, Feng Yifeng flatly refused without even asking what kind of film he was filming or his intention to cooperate. Does this still take his long-time friend seriously? This made all the promises he made before,
How could this make him feel so embarrassed?
Huang Baiming looked embarrassed and frustrated. Of course he understood what Feng Yifeng meant. Originally, the film lacked investment and had to stop filming. He only tried to find investors at the begging of his friends. But when the investors read the script, they listened.
After reviewing the entire idea and the required amount, they all shook their heads and declined without exception.
In the eyes of investors, everything is based on profit. Who dares to invest in a film that has no future and is too expensive? Some people even ridiculed: "Your boss Lei Juekun is not willing to spend money."
Investment, treating us as 'water fish'? If you want us to fill this hole, I'm not that stupid."
There are not just one or two people who say this. Many of them are familiar with each other in the past and want to find opportunities to cooperate with Xinyi City. But this time, they all shook their heads because the gap between investment and income is too big. Anyone with a discerning eye can
I am unwilling to spend a huge amount of money on an investment that is not obvious or is likely to lose money.
After Huang Baiming made another call to a friend, he was completely disappointed. His hope of finding investment or persuading Lei Juekun and Mai Jia to increase investment became increasingly slim. Just when he was about to give up, Zeng Zhiwei, who received the news, came to see him.
He came to the door and asked: "I have another friend. He should be very interested in investing, but I don't know if you are willing to come and visit me in person. If he is willing to agree, the funds will definitely be no problem."
Huang Baiming is very curious, there is actually such a person in Hong Kong? Most of the people in the industry he knows have asked him, is there any omission? "Who is that person? Is it an individual or a company?"
"You actually know this person. Not only did his company invest in filming for New Art City before, but he also personally participated in the company's film shooting."
"Is there such a person?" Huang Baiming actually took the exam. Although the review of the script and whether it was put into filming had to be signed by him, he really couldn't think of anyone who met the conditions mentioned by Eric Tsang. "I
Why can't you remember? Since you are the boss of the company, are you so bored that you go back to filming?"
Zeng Zhiwei smiled bitterly and said: "You are really right. He is the kind of person who is so idle, bored and looking for trouble. He has never cared much about the company's affairs and just sits there all day long.
Playing in Hong Kong. I introduced you to this person, and you also met Teresa Teng that time."
"Teresa Teng?" Huang Baiming exclaimed. Of course he remembered the whole process of meeting Teresa Teng in the hotel. And because of Teresa Teng, he also arranged for a young man who was not too handsome to participate in the filming of a low-cost youth drama in New Art City.
Idol movie. At that time
The director told himself at the time that this person had no acting talent at all, and was good for nothing except being a hard worker. In the end, he did not want to affect other artists in the company, so he decided to abandon him. Could it be that the person Zeng Zhiwei mentioned was the Feng Yifeng who he had abandoned
What?
"You really didn't lie to me? Is he the boss of that film company? Which of our movies has he invested in?"
"I asked him to help invest in Taiwan's Tianchen Entertainment. You should know which movie it is, right?"
The name "Tianchen Entertainment" is naturally familiar to Huang Baiming. In the past year, it has been quite popular. Although this company is in Taiwan, in Hong Kong except for the time when it cooperated with Xinyi City to invest in "Best Partner"
, and it is rare to hear that he invests in any large-scale films, and he only distributes them for some small companies.
But this does not make Huang Baiming think that the company is not strong enough. In just one year, he established a wholly-owned theater chain in Taiwan, a place where dragons and snakes are mixed, and also successively established theaters in Japan and Southeast Asia.
line, you can see the strength of this company. After understanding the strength of this company
Later, Huang Baiming originally wanted to have a more in-depth cooperation with "Tianchen Entertainment". But at this moment, Xinyi City's filming of "The Best Partner Sequel" was put on the agenda. Without consultation and discussion, Lei Juekun and
Mai Jia acted arbitrarily and released the "Tianchen Entertainment" plane and decided to invest solely in the filming of "The Best Partner Sequel".
Huang Baiming heard Lei Juekun say very clearly: "Why do I have to look for other investments even though I know this movie will make money? Do I have money that I won't make myself, and I still think it's too much?" When he heard this paragraph
After talking, Huang Baiming knew that New Art City's desire to cooperate with "Tianchen Entertainment" again to develop the Taiwan market, which was still virgin territory for them, had come to nothing, and everything had to depend on themselves.
But I don’t know who leaked this news. Many media knew that New Art City wanted to invest solely in the filming of "The Best Partner Sequel", and threw aside "Tianchen Entertainment", which had already cooperated well. This is obviously not the case.
A moral act. Although the cooperation agreement originally signed only stated that "Tianchen Entertainment
"It has the priority to invest in the filming of [Best Partner Sequel], but it does not necessarily have to cooperate with "Tianchen Entertainment". New Art City has the final right of interpretation. But everyone can see that there is no benefit in looking for someone."
Help, but when he saw the benefits, he went on his own. Xinyi City's reputation in the Hong Kong industry plummeted overnight.
"Tianchen Entertainment" did not pursue anything. They just uttered a few bad words in the media and nothing happened. However, people are doing it and God is watching. Because of the unethical behavior of Lei Juekun and Mai Jia, Xinyi
Cheng's previous expectation of relying on the distribution channel of "Tianchen Entertainment" in Taiwan to gain a foothold in the Taiwan market was shattered. For this reason, Huang Baiming didn't even know what to do.
He got angry several times in the office because he wanted to catch up with Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers in Taiwan in a short period of time just because he was involved in the production of such a movie. It became a ridiculous paper talk. But unfortunately he was only a small shareholder.
People speak softly. Lei Juekun and Mai Jia are hugging each other, and Shi Tian is doing good. What can be changed by Huang Baiming alone?
Afterwards, Lei Juekun and Mai Jia also knew that they had done something stupid, because they were not fully aware of the power of "Tianchen Entertainment" in Taiwan, which even Shaw Brothers, which has been in the Taiwan market for many years, dare not ignore it.
Exist. What's more, the theater chain of "Tianchen Entertainment", in addition to Hong Kong, is basically spread in Taiwan, Japan and Southeast Asia. As long as it cooperates with them to distribute, the film will directly impact the entire Asian market, and the economic benefits will be greater than sticking to
This one-third of an acre of Hong Kong has become countless times stronger.
But the matter has been done, and there is no regret in this world. With Lei Juekun's arrogance and Mai Jia's stubborn temper, how could he admit his mistakes and go to Taiwan to apologize to "Tianchen Entertainment" in person, thereby restoring integrity and integrity?
What about future cooperation? After one mistake, Lei Juekun threatened to let the outside media take a look. "The Best Partner Sequel" will definitely be better than the first episode and will definitely be a hit at the box office. Whether it is a collaboration or a sole proprietorship, it will not affect it.
to the shooting quality of the video.
Because of this, New Arts City needs to spend several times more effort than cooperating with "Tianchen Entertainment" to develop the Taiwan market. It also has to be blocked by Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest. Who makes New Arts City not have a stable distribution channel in Taiwan?
, what about movies that don’t have a fixed theatrical release?
For this matter, Huang Baiming complained to Shi Tian countless times, and Shi Tian could only sigh and pat his shoulders to comfort him. Everyone knew that even if the two of them united, the most they could do was to let them live in Xinyi City
A louder voice will not affect the authoritarian status of Lei Juekun and Mai Jia.
Now I hear the name of the company "Tianchen Entertainment" again, and I also know that the boss behind this newly emerging company is actually the young man Feng Yifeng who I chatted with in the hotel. If it were someone else who told the truth,
Huang Baiming might laugh it off, but since it was Eric Tsang who said it, he couldn't help but not believe it. Because whether it was the last joint investment or agreement signing, it was basically introduced and signed by Eric Tsang. Could it be that he would be so bored to entertain himself?
Huang Baiming was certainly happy to know that he had the opportunity to obtain investment, but the investment company or investors were "Tianchen Entertainment" and Feng Yifeng, so he had no confidence. However, after Zeng Zhiwei patted his chest and promised to mediate and persuade him, Huang Baiming still embraced
With the mentality of giving it a try, he and the director of the film followed Eric Tsang to TVB to find Feng Yifeng.
However, they were destined to miss out. Zeng Zhiwei searched all over Wireless, but not only failed to find Feng Yifeng, but also did not see Weng Meiling. Finally, he met Stephen Chow and found out that Feng Yifeng and Weng Meiling actually went to Saigon to date and eat seafood. Zeng Zhiwei once again led Huang Pak Ming and the others.
, Baba's feeling is looking for Saigon.
Although there are many seafood restaurants in Saigon, based on Zeng Zhiwei's understanding of Feng Yifeng, he is the kind of person who is nostalgic and will only go to the few restaurants he is used to eating, so it didn't take much time for Zeng Zhiwei to find Feng Yifeng.
It's just that Feng Yifeng's attitude was very bad. Not only did he refuse to cooperate without listening, he also said unpleasant words, which embarrassed Eric Tsang who had previously patted his chest to reassure him.
Huang Baiming's face was naturally not good, but he knew very clearly that he did not have the right to accuse the other party. Regardless of whether "Xinyi City" had acted dishonestly before, even if it had not happened, why would Feng Yifeng go?
Investing in a movie that even your own family is not optimistic about and has no prospects? What reasons do you have to convince the other party to spend money?
The sloppy man who was paying attention to the development of the situation saw hope in Zeng Zhiwei, but with Feng Yifeng, the little hope he had originally ignited was extinguished. The loss and decadence made him sigh and slumped down in his seat
superior.
Except for Weng Meiling, who was still sipping tea leisurely, she didn't pay attention to Feng Yifeng's business at all. Because she knew clearly that she was with Feng Yifeng, not because he was rich or not. So she didn't point out shopping malls that she was unfamiliar with.
This was one of the reasons why Feng Yifeng doted on Weng Meiling. However, the expressions of the other people present were completely different.
Feng Yifeng did not look at Zeng Zhiwei's angry eyes or Huang Baiming's frustrated look. Instead, the sloppy man's sigh attracted him. Because from the beginning, he felt that this sloppy man was very kind-hearted, but he didn't know if it was from the previous life or from the previous life.
I have met this person before in this life, but I can't name him.
"Who is this...? None of you introduced me just now." He looked at Zeng Zhiwei, but received a blank stare in return.
Huang Baiming quickly introduced: "He is Tsui Hark, one of the directors of New Art City, and the best director at the Taiwan Golden Horse Award last year. This film is directed by him, but now due to lack of funds, the film has to be stopped
The filming will most likely be aborted because of this.”
"Tsui Hark?" Hearing this name, Feng Yifeng was really surprised. The figure of this dear man in front of and behind the scenes in the previous life slowly overlapped with the figure of the slovenly man in front of him, and Feng Yifeng had to believe it. "You are really
Is it Tsui Hark?”
