254, the competitor of 'The Richest Man in Xihong City'
Jinyu Tea House.
Yang Wanli was drinking tea and chatting with Qin Taihe.
Qin Taihe is the founder of Tahoe Sky, which is the largest entertainment company in China today.
"Wan Li, I just saw the news that your son-in-law ran away to film a movie. Do you know about this?" Qin Taihe asked while holding a tea cup and blowing hot air.
"I know a little bit." Yang Wanli nodded lightly.
"You still let him go after knowing it? This is not like Wanli's style. Don't you despise the actors in our industry the most?" Qin Taihe chuckled and shook his head. He and Yang Wanli have known each other for almost twenty years.
We know each other very well. When Qin Taihe's Tahoe Sky was still in its infancy, Yang Wanli once persuaded him to change careers, feeling that there was nothing to do in the entertainment industry.
Later, Tahoe Sky gradually became the largest entertainment company in China. Although its market value is not that of Wanli Group, Qin Taihe's original choice was undoubtedly successful.
"That kid seems to have suddenly enlightened, just like when you entered the entertainment industry. After entering the industry, you have achieved a lot of achievements. My Wanli Pictures has been acquired by him quietly." Yang Wanli smiled.
He replied hehe, he was naturally very satisfied with Hu Shuo's recent performance.
"By the way, if this happens, Lao Qin, your plan to acquire Wanli Pictures will come to nothing."
At the end, Yang Wanli added another sentence.
"Your son-in-law acquires your family's Wanli Pictures??"
Qin Taihe smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Wanli, if you don't want to sell Wanli Pictures to me, just say so. Why go around in such a big circle!"
"I haven't gone around in circles with you. You still don't know my attitude?"
Yang Wanli shrugged: "I planned to dump Wanli Pictures to you at the beginning of the year, but that girl Yun Yan didn't want to do it. She insisted on giving Wanli Pictures another year. No, the year hasn't ended yet.
Well, I sold it to Xiao Shuo."
"It sounds like it's true. Wanli Pictures was transferred from your daughter's hands to your son-in-law's. No matter how much you mess with it, it's still your family's property."
Qin Taihe smiled disapprovingly.
"Old Qin, don't say that. Strictly speaking, Wanli Pictures has nothing to do with Wanli Group. Xiaoshuo has registered an entertainment company outside. Obviously, Wanli Pictures is his
A subsidiary of that entertainment company."
Yang Wanli explained.
"I just want to ask, what is the purchase price? Where does the money come from?" Qin Taihe certainly didn't believe Yang Wanli's rhetoric.
"Old Qin, you are really wrong this time. Xiao Shuo purchased Wanli Pictures for 1 billion. This price is definitely the market price. As for the money, he earned it himself, but I didn't pay a penny.
"When he said this, Yang Wanli was still quite confident.
Damn it, Hu Shuo is her son-in-law after all, and Yang Wanli himself has no son. In addition, due to Yang Wanli's friendship with Hu Xingye, Yang Wanli regarded Hu Shuo as his son a long time ago, but later Hu Shuo really failed to live up to his expectations.
, which made him feel a little chilled.
However, Hu Shuo's performance during the recent period has given him some hope. If Hu Shuo can stand alone with Yang Yunyan to support the Wanli Group in the future, Yang Wanli can retire with confidence.
"Earned a billion by yourself?"
"I'm quite curious about what your son-in-law did??" Qin Taihe knew that Yang Wanli wouldn't tell lies, so he was still surprised after learning this news.
"They said they filmed a TV series called "Love Apartment", which was quite popular. Of course, I haven't watched it..." Yang Wanli smiled and shook his head.
"What?"
""Love Apartment" is produced by your son-in-law's company??" Qin Taihe was shocked. As the "ultimate boss" of the Chinese entertainment industry, he is naturally very aware of the trends in the entertainment industry. Which drama is popular?
Whichever drama hits the street, he keeps a record of it in his mind.
The most popular drama in recent times is "Love Apartment" which was aired during the National Day Golden Week.
"It seems that the show is indeed very popular. Even you, Lao Qin, know about it." Yang Wanli said while holding a tea cup.
Qin Taihe nodded slightly: "It's not just popular, it's extremely popular. It's one of the most popular dramas this year. One drama has made six or seven actors famous."
"I'm telling you, why is the new drama produced by Wanli Pictures related to "Love Apartment"? It turns out that the two companies have merged into one."
Qin Taihe sighed with emotion, and then said: "But Wan Li, your son-in-law is very courageous. He is a newcomer and he has a few actors who have just gained some popularity, and he dares to take the leading role in making a movie, and he dares to release it on New Year's Day!
Young people just don’t know how high the sky is and how high it is.”
"What's wrong with the New Year's Day show? I don't understand your circle." Yang Wanli spread his hands and looked confused. He really didn't know anything about the entertainment industry.
"What else? Competition is stimulating. As far as I know, there are already four movies with an investment of over 100 million, which are scheduled to be released on New Year's Day, including a drama from our company called "Funny Express" starring Ed Lun
, you should have heard of this person."
Adelun is a well-known movie star in China. He has been promoted to the front line for a long time and specializes in comedy. He is currently one of the comedians with the most box office appeal in China.
"You mean Xiao Shuo's movie is likely to become cannon fodder if it is released on New Year's Day?" Yang Wanli asked casually.
"Remove the possibility!"
Qin Taihe waved his hand: "I will definitely become cannon fodder, because in addition to our movie "Funny Express", there are also Wenyu Entertainment's "Alone in the Lonely City" and Jiacheng Film and Television's "Martial Arts Leader 3". Just this one
Three films can almost dominate the New Year's Day market
After the carving up, Ascendas Entertainment also produced a movie "I'm Not an Angel" with a popular TV star starring in it. In this case, if your son-in-law's movie can stand out, I, Qin Taihe, will be willing to demote myself.
, I recognized him as my little brother!”
Upon hearing Qin Taihe's words, Yang Wanli couldn't help but laugh: "Old Qin, don't talk so much. If Xiaoshuo's movie does well at the box office, wouldn't you want to meet him again in the future?
Call me uncle."
Qin Taihe drank tea with a leisurely expression and replied calmly: "Wan Li, you are also thinking too much. It's not that easy to be my uncle to Qin Taihe!"
"Well, in order to be your Qin Taihe's uncle, I have to say hello to Xiao Shuo later and ask him to work harder."
Yang Wanli joked that he and Qin Taihe had known each other for more than 20 years and knew each other very well. Yang Wanli knew that since Qin Taihe had said so, he guessed that Hu Shuo's drama was a pill. Therefore, although Yang Wanli said so
, but in my heart I was already thinking about whether I should say hello to Hu Shuo and ask him to change the schedule or something.
Wenyu Entertainment.
Cao Zechu is holding a publicity meeting about "Alone in the Lonely City". If it is a film with an investment amount of less than 100 million, Cao Zechu will usually not interfere. However, the total investment in "Alone in the Lonely City" is as high as 350 million, and Wen Yu
One of several key entertainment projects this year.
At present, "Alone in the Alone" has been scheduled, and there is only one more time left before the film is released. This period is the golden promotion period. Therefore, it is also crucial for "Alone in the Alone". After all, the New Year's Day competition is
Inspirational, Tahoe Sky's "Hilarious Express" and Jiacheng Film and Television's "Martial Arts Leader 3" are very strong opponents.
"Mr. Cao, the latest news is that another film has entered the New Year's Day schedule."
Zhou Yu, the manager in charge of the promotion work of "Alone in the Lonely City" said.
"Not to mention the little miscellaneous fish that have little impact on us." Cao Zechu waved his hand.
"The film is a small investment, but the main actor is the son-in-law of Wanli Group. This gimmick is enough." Zhou Yu muttered.
"Um??"
Upon hearing this, Cao Zechu frowned: "Who is the leading actor??"
"Hu Shuo, he said he is the husband of Yang Yunyan, the president of Wanli Group." Zhou Yu replied.
“His film is really on the New Year’s Day schedule??”
After receiving a positive reply, Cao Zechu had a playful smile on his face. At the charity dinner that day, Hu Shuo said that the movie produced by his company was likely to be released on New Year's Day. At that time, Cao Zechu also said, in this way,
The two sides are going to compete head-on.
However, after the dinner, Cao Zechu forgot about the matter as soon as he got busy. However, he never expected that Hu Shuo would actually put his film on the New Year's Day schedule.
"This guy is so stubborn! He really dares to put the film on the New Year's Day schedule?!"
While Cao Zechu sighed in his heart, he was also very happy. In this way, he and Yang Yunyan's husband had the opportunity to compete on the same track.
Although the result of victory or defeat could not change the fact that Yang Yunyan was already married, Cao Zechu could at least prove his ability in front of Yang Yunyan.
"Pay close attention to the dynamics of that film, and then give it proper 'care' in our theaters!" After thinking about it for a while, Cao Zechu made a decision, and he emphasized the word "care" very seriously. He didn't mean it.
It goes without saying.
Sioux City TV.
The recording scene of "Love Match" program.
This program is a promotional special for "I'm Not an Angel". Director Bai Yunfei appeared in the program with several leading actors. The male protagonist of "I'm Not an Angel" is the movie star Huang Hao, a very stable first-line movie star.
Heat and flow.
His co-star is Xu Meng, who switched jobs to Ascendas Entertainment. The second male lead in this drama is played by Jin Xin, who also switched jobs.
The host of "Love Match" is Li Qiuzhu. As a result, the three leading actors of "Love Apartment" are gathered at the scene. Therefore, although the theme of this episode is "I'm Not an Angel"
The promotion of the drama also intentionally highlighted the reunion of the three leading actors of "Love Apartment".
In front of the camera, Li Qiuzhu, Xu Meng, and Jin Xin acted very intimately, giving the impression of a reunion between old friends.
"Director Bai, what are your expectations for the box office of our film "I'm Not an Angel"? I heard that the competition for the New Year's Day slot is very fierce."
The recording of the program came to an end, and Li Qiuzhu asked about the box office.
"Of course I hope the more the better, it's best if it has a box office of 2 billion!" Bai Yunfei smiled and continued: "However, how much box office it can achieve in the end depends on the audience's acceptance of the film. After all, money matters.
It’s in the audience’s pocket, whether they buy the ticket or not is up to them.”
"Well Director Bai, everyone knows that our film has the 'Bo Yu' character that the audience likes very much, but another film in the same period has the 'Xian Fei character' that the audience is equally familiar with. You
Do you mind if the audience compares the two films? Also, do you think the box office of "I'm Not an Angel" can beat the other film?"
Li Qiuzhu asked another question. Compared with the previous question, this one was more sensitive.
After hearing this question, Bai Yunfei smiled softly: "First of all, let me make it clear that I don't know anything about 'Xianfei CP', so I can't answer your first question. As for what you said,
I generally know about this movie. But what I want to say is, don’t compare the box office of "I'm Not an Angel" with their movies, because in terms of cast and production scale, our movie far exceeds theirs!"
"So, the two films are not of the same magnitude at all, and it is unfair to compare the box office together. Our goal has always been to compare with the other three blockbusters in the same period, and other films are not within the scope of our comparison.
