Zhou Yuan introduced Hao Ren to their company's situation and development plan in a leisurely manner, as well as what progress will be made next.
Hao Ren, Chen Yao and others listened carefully. This was also the time to test their vision. If the development of dragon fruit failed, Hao Ren would not let his money go to waste.
"Currently, there are many artists working with us, including some first-line stars, and some of our popular dramas are also participated by some of the hottest stars at the moment, and the popularity is also extremely high..."
"We at Longguo are also currently planning some new scripts and preparing to support some new directors and new artists to create our own core brand..."
Zhou Yuanyang gave Hao Ren a grand idea about the future prospects of Longguo Video.
All in all, as long as you get on the bus, making money every day is not a dream.
However, Hao Ren also understood in his heart that when such a person speaks, others will give him ten points, and he only needs to listen to two points.
Soon, the food was served, and Zhou Yuan did not continue talking. He naturally knew when to talk and when not to talk.
Hao Ren held a glass of juice and said with a smile, "Sorry, Mr. Zhou, I don't drink much, so I'll have juice instead of a bar."
Zhou Yuan quickly raised his glass with a smile, "No, I should be the one paying respect to Mr. Hao. I did it, you can do whatever you want."
After saying that, he drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.
Hao Ren took a sip lightly and then put down the glass. Although he was a businessman now, he was not very interested in the wine shop culture, and he would not persuade others to drink. Of course, it was impossible for others to drink by themselves.
.
At least there are very few people in Liuzhou City who have this kind of reputation.
Therefore, as long as you are not an alcoholic, you will basically be happy when you eat with Hao Ren.
While eating, Hao Ren asked casually, "I heard that your company is planning some new dramas. I wonder who is participating in them and who is directing them?"
Hearing Hao Ren's inquiry, Zhou Yuan put down his chopsticks and said with a smile, "There are three currently being prepared. Two are the idol urban drama "Love Is Coming" and "Passengers from Outer Space", and the other is a fairy tale drama.
, it’s "Legend of Sword Immortal"..."
Just by hearing the name, it sounds like a completely bad drama.
Hao Ren sighed inwardly.
"The main actors in "Love Is Coming" are Zhao Yan and Zhu Chen, and the main actors in "Passengers from Outer Space" are..."
Hearing the names mentioned by Zhou Yuan, Hao Ren was even more helpless. It seemed that he had never heard of any of these people.
No, I have heard of one, that Zhu Chen, who is currently very popular. Hao Ren himself had watched one of his dramas, and the ten-minute crying scene almost made people laugh to death.
Hao Ren's awkward soles could dig out three rooms and one living room.
Therefore, Hao Ren remained silent and couldn't find any place to praise him.
Zhou Yuan seemed to be aware of Hao Ren's dissatisfaction, and he smiled bitterly in his heart, and said helplessly, "It seems that Mr. Hao doesn't have a very good impression of them, but I can understand that they are all too young and have insufficient acting skills. Their previous performance
It’s not very good, but they also have an advantage that others can’t match, which is their popularity and popularity..."
"Now when filming, it doesn't actually matter how well the actors perform. What matters is the ratings and the support of fans. That's enough. Only in this way can we make a profit and the company can survive..."
Zhou Yuan told a cruel fact.
"This should be the fan circle culture that is very popular on the Internet now."
Hao Ren smiled lightly and said sarcastically.
"How much have you invested in these dramas?"
"The first two dramas cost 70 million, and the latter drama cost 90 million."
Zhou Yuan said helplessly.
"The directors are very experienced and have filmed some relatively good TV series before."
The corner of Hao Ren's mouth curled up. He had never even heard of his name, and Zhou Yuan dared to say it was good. This was just to put money on his face.
"How much do the male and female protagonists get paid?"
When asked this question, Zhou Yuan was a little hesitant, but since Hao Ren asked, he couldn't lie. He gritted his teeth and said, "This is all confidential, but Mr. Hao is not an outsider, so I will tell you directly. Basically,
It’s more than 30 million.”
"Haha, yes, you can. The male and female protagonists will get 30 million each, and all the remaining actors and staff will share the remaining 10 million. In other words, you said it is an investment of 70 million, but in fact, it is
The script cost ten million to shoot."
Hao Ren couldn't help but clap his hands, but even a blind person could see that Hao Ren was very dissatisfied.
Zhou Yuan smiled bitterly and did not continue speaking. The little secretary on the side said helplessly, "Mr. Hao, you are not in this circle, so naturally you don't know the rules of the circle. We are still relatively small, such as Le Qiyi, Penguin
, a TV series costs over RMB 100 million, and the leading actor will get 95% of it."
"This is an unwritten rule, not something we give arbitrarily. As long as there is a way, we are willing to spend more money on production."
The female secretary had a soft voice and explained to Hao Ren softly.
Chen Yao also gently pulled Hao Ren's sleeve, signaling him not to go too far.
As for Zhou Mo and the others, they all remained silent. It was not their turn to interrupt at this time.
Hao Ren looked calm, looked at Zhou Yuan, and shook his head with some disappointment,
"Mr. Zhou, I was originally very interested in your company. After all, I am half-experienced in the film and television industry. However, just listening to your scripts, actors, and directors, I felt disappointed, very disappointed.
Under such circumstances, I doubt that my investment will be in vain..."
Zhou Yuan's face turned bitter, but Hao Ren's attitude was considered a good one. In the past, when he went to meet other investors, he was often scolded.
"Mr. Hao, actually, I understand your worries and concerns. Mr. Chen's company should have just developed. To be honest, with the current achievements, I think it is more because of your strength, Mr. Hao."
Financial support, but many things cannot be achieved just by having money..."
"I heard that Distance Culture has many artists now, but they are not very famous. I think Mr. Chen needs some resources to promote his own artists."
Zhou Yuan looked at Chen Yao and said with a chuckle.
His company has problems, and he knows it, but he has no way to change it easily, because these are the rules of the entertainment industry.
Anyone who wants to provoke this rule will only be crushed by powerful forces.
At least he thinks he still doesn't have this qualification.
However, even though there are many shortcomings, they are not without merit. At least, for Chen Yao, the resources at his hands are still very tempting.
Chen Yao glanced at Hao Ren and said calmly, "We have other options, such as Yanjing, where we have quite a few acquaintances."
"We have already made an appointment with director Zhang Jinghong. I think there are very few people in China who can match him in terms of connections."
After hearing Chen Yao's words, Zhou Yuan's face changed slightly and he laughed dryly, "No one in the country knows Director Zhang's name. It is indeed a good thing that Mr. Chen can get to know Director Zhang."
"Damn it, I actually forgot that Chen Yao participated in Zhang Jinghong's show."
Zhou Yuan cursed inwardly.
As a result, his company's appeal to Hao Ren was greatly reduced.
This round of negotiations still ended with Zhou Yuan at a disadvantage.
Hao Ren opened a hotel for them.
Back at the company, Chen Yao looked at Hao Ren and frowned, "If you don't like it, let's not waste money. I'm not good at watching dragon fruit videos."
Hao Ren looked at Chen Yao's delicate face, smiled slightly, sat on the sofa, and said lazily, "He does have a problem, but this problem is not a problem for his family, but a problem for the entire circle. Do you think I really care?"
.”
"Then it's just to lower the price. Otherwise, if Zhou Yuan knows, we will definitely suffer a lot."
Hearing this, Chen Yao was stunned for a moment, then rolled her eyes at Hao Ren, poured Hao Ren a cup of tea, and asked softly, "Then how much do you plan to invest?"
"Let's do it little by little and see what price Zhou Yuan can charge and how much benefit we can get. At least, we can find some resources for our artists."
Hao Ren said with a chuckle.
Chen Yao's eyes flashed with softness, she leaned against Hao Ren gently and whispered, "Thank you."
Hao Ren smiled and said, "We are all a family, there is no point in saying this."
Looking at Chen Yao's perfect side face, Hao Ren's heart moved, and his hand became dishonest subconsciously and moved around Chen Yao's body. Chen Yao's face turned red and she wanted to knock off Hao Ren's hand. However, thinking of Hao Ren's hand,
Everything he did, he remained silent and allowed Hao Ren to do whatever he wanted...
…
In the hotel, Zhou Yuan was discussing with his lawyer and secretary.
"Boss, I think Hao Ren doesn't seem to have the desire to invest."
The little secretary said angrily.
"Our trip here was in vain. Look at the angry expression on his face, he looks like a passionate young man."
Hearing this, Zhou Yuan's lips curved and he smiled faintly, "A hot-blooded young man? What a joke. He can reach this point from nothing in a short period of time. You actually think he is a hot-blooded young man?"
"Boss, you mean he's just faking it?"
"Half and half."
Zhou Yuan's eyes flashed with depth.
"Then Hao Ren still has a role to play?"
The little secretary continued to ask.
"It depends on our sincerity..."
Zhou Yuan smiled faintly.
The next day, Zhou Yuan and the other three had breakfast early and then came to Yuan Yuan Culture Media Company.
At this time, Chen Yao had just gone to work.
In the office, Chen Yao received three people.
Chen Yao immediately notified Hao Ren, who had just finished his meal and drove to Chen Yao's office with Daniel in his car.
"Mr. Zhou, you're here so early."
Hao Ren saw the other party and said with a smile, while Daniel found a chair and sat there quietly, playing with his mobile phone.
Zhou Yuan looked at Hao Ren and smiled bitterly, "Mr. Hao, please don't tell secrets. Because the company has a lot of things to do, time is tight. We currently need some funds, so I want to confirm with Mr. Hao.
Whether to invest in us or not, if Mr. Hao doesn’t have this intention, we won’t bother you.”
Yesterday, he realized that Hao Ren was not a fool at all, and now that Hao Ren was in the Party A market, he had no advantage at all. In addition, the company had many things going on, and he really didn't have time to stay in Liuzhou City, so,
Zhou Yuan planned to get straight to the point.
OK or not, one sentence.
However, he still felt somewhat confident.
When Hao Ren heard this, a smile appeared on his face and he asked, "Then what can I gain?"
"The company's market value is about 18 billion. If Mr. Hao is willing to invest, I can make the decision for 1 billion in exchange for 10% of the shares."
Zhou Yuan looked at Hao Ren and spoke in a deep voice.
When Chen Yao heard this number, she gasped inwardly.
One billion, that's not ten dollars.
You can buy two or three of the first-class luxury houses in Shanghai.
She was beating a drum in her heart. In order to find some resources for her own artists, was it worth it?
Zhou Mo and others who came in from outside also heard it and were shocked speechless.
