Chapter 43 Chairman Han Makes a Move
.......
Splash...
The scene erupted in noise, with whispers filling the air.
"Holy crap... is this for real?"
"One hundred million? Little Wang is really bragging."
"Don't listen to his nonsense. Forget about a production budget of 100 million, even 50 million is impossible."
"Judging from Fang Yi's speech just now, and the way he kept it low-key, he can only run a business worth around 3000 million at most."
"Haha...indeed, Little Wang is used to bragging!"
None of the guests were fools, and they knew Wang Zhonglei's character; they should only listen to what he said.
Despite their disbelief, everyone was eagerly anticipating Fang Yi's new film and wanted to know more.
On the main table in the center.
Han Sanping, who had been sitting calmly on the sidelines, took advantage of the conversation to move slightly closer to Wang Zhongjun beside him.
"Mr. Wang, do you need China Film Group to keep an eye on Director Fang's new film?"
Wang Zhongjun, beaming with pride, was envisioning Huayi's dominance over its competitors after today when he was suddenly startled by these words.
Han Sanping, lacking any martial ethics, punched him right in the chest.
A leader is a leader; their words are unconventional. They clearly want to invest and profit, but when they say it, it becomes "helping."
Damn!
Wang Zhongjun cursed Han Dong for taking advantage of his vulnerability. His smile vanished, and he forced a smile, saying, "Han Dong, with so many projects at China Film Group, why would we care about one action crime film?"
"Haha, good food is never too late, and there's no shortage of it."
"Don't worry, China Film Group doesn't want much!"
Han Sanpin raised an eyebrow, smiled broadly, and raised his glass of red wine to signal to Wang Zhongjun.
Come on, let's have a drink...
Why..
You can't fight city hall, so be it!
As expected of the leader of Huayi, Wang Zhongjun had an idea in an instant. He smiled again, raised his wine glass, lowered the rim by two inches, and gently clinked it with Han Sanpin's.
"With China Film Group joining the team, Zhongjun is naturally delighted."
"I believe that Director Fang has a broad vision and more confidence, and will create even better works."
He took the initiative to communicate with Fang Yi and redistribute the investment amount.
After speaking, he downed the glass of red wine in one gulp, and his generous manner pleased Chairman Han greatly.
The other film and television company bosses present had been watching the conversation closely, their eyelids twitching, inwardly cursing Wang Zhongjun as a coward.
What are you afraid of?
Why don't you dare to argue with Chairman Han on the basis of reason!
There's only so much of a share available. China Film Group has already taken a share, so what business is it of theirs?
That was the reality of the film industry in 2005: there were too few good projects.
Fang Yi's second film, backed by 8000 million yuan in box office revenue, has become a top-quality project in the current film industry.
Only a handful of people have the means to afford meat, and China Film Group is the leading company among them.
Ren Yudong and the others were unwilling to give up, but they didn't dare to confront Han Sanping directly. At most, they would do some underhanded tricks behind his back.
"Xiao Chen, come here for a second."
Having secured Wang Zhongjun's cooperation, Han Sanping beckoned Chen Ran, who was sitting at the next table, over to finalize the collaboration a second time.
"President Wang, Chen Ran will personally liaise with Hua Yi and Director Fang. The three of us should come up with a plan as soon as possible."
Wang Zhongjun looked at Chen Ran and nodded with a smile: "No problem, Zhongjun will be waiting for Director Chen at Huayi."
In his heart, however, boundless turmoil arose.
By using Fang Yi's film, they could silence Chairman Han in advance and secure the smooth landing of another major project for Huayi.
Turn a bad thing into a good thing, that's how you do it!
Wang Zhongjun's mind raced, but his smile remained unchanged, showing no sign of dissatisfaction or frustration at being taken advantage of.
It's a ghost!
Yu Dong and Wang Changtian stared at him blankly. As rivals, they believed they knew the two of them well enough.
Wang Zhongjun's cultivation level has increased dramatically in just this wave!
No, something's definitely fishy.
Wang Changtian narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself that this guy must be hiding something else, otherwise he would never have agreed to Han Sanping so readily.
If it were him, even if he couldn't withstand Han Sanping's pressure, he would use delaying tactics and discuss it in detail at another time.
Even if it's just a movie-for-movies exchange, you should at least make some demands!
"No, I need to find out more when I get back."
Wang Changtian murmured to himself, picked up his wine glass, and said magnanimously, "Come on, everyone, let's raise a glass and congratulate Chairman Han together."
"Come on, let's have a drink!"
......
at the same time..
Some of the screenwriters, directors, producers, agents, and celebrities in the banquet hall, recovering from the shock just now, also began to have their own little thoughts.
Action, crime, adventure.
The guests from the screenwriting, directing, and producing industries subconsciously analyzed what kind of films Fang Yi was actually making.
How will the story unfold?
If they were to tackle a similar topic, how could we draw inspiration from it and seize the opportunity to profit from it?
That's right, it's all about borrowing!
In the world of scholars and cultured people, there is no such thing as "plagiarism and following trends," only learning from others.
Celebrities have simpler ideas and higher interests; they all want to participate in Fang Yi's second film to take their careers to the next level.
The sixth table is for guests.
Apart from Liu Xiaoli, the rest are all popular celebrities.
Uncle Daoming, Uncle Ge, Liu Yifei, Huang Xiaoming, Fan Bingbing, Deng Chao, Li Bingbing, Zhou Xun, Ren Quan
Ten people were seated at each table, with seven seats occupied by Hua Yi's team.
Uncle Daoming smiled casually, without a trace of embarrassment at leaving Huayi Brothers. He happily squeezed together with Uncle Ge, and the two chatted and laughed.
Liu Yifei sat with Deng Chao to her left and Huang Xiaoming and Fan Bingbing to her right. The four of them ate and chatted.
On the other side, Liu Xiaoli, Zhou Xun, Ren Quan, and Li Bingbing were also chatting, creating a harmonious and joyful scene.
"How many important characters do you think Director Fang will have in his second film?"
A slightly puzzled voice rang out, drawing the attention of everyone else.
Huang Xiaoming smiled and looked at everyone.
After thinking for a moment, Fan Bingbing said softly, "The production budget has increased, at least five times, right?"
"more than.."
Li Bingbing shook his head, gave an OK sign, and laughed, "Action, crime, and adventure—three genres combined into one."
"Including the male and female leads, I think there are at least six important characters!"
"Six of them? Are they really aiming for a big production?"
Ren Quan frowned, his tone tinged with doubt—not doubt about his friend Li Bingbing, but distrust of Wang Zhonglei.
Xiao Wang is a braggart; anyone who believes him is a fool!
Ren Quanjue thought his friend's words made him believe that the other person knew something in advance.
He turned to look at Li Bingbing and gave him a wink.
Bingbing, do you have any firsthand information?
Li Bingbing smiled without saying a word, blinked, and indicated that they would talk privately.
Pack..
Just keep pretending!
Upon seeing this, the clever Fan Bingbing immediately guessed that Li Bingbing was suspected of stirring up trouble.
She's smart, and Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao, and Zhou Xun are no less so, all of them rolling their eyes.
They didn't believe it, but some people did!
Liu Yifei's hand trembled slightly as she picked up her chopsticks, her pink ears perked up, and she pretended to be calm as she put some food into her mouth and listened to the conversation.
As I listened...
The little girl unconsciously joined in, her eyes sparkling, her confidence soaring.
She has a very good plan.
Regardless of whether my senior's new film is action or crime, it will definitely have fight scenes.
When it comes to action scenes, who's afraid of who? Little Liu can take on three at once, one, two, three.
Fan Bingbing, Li Bingbing, Zhou Xun.
The young girl has a keen eye; she knows that the three women are the top candidates for the female lead in Fang Yi's new film.
Liu Xiaoli looked at her daughter's smug expression and couldn't help but facepalm.
You silly girl, you didn't even know you'd been sold out.
Liu Xiaoli once again lamented that the entertainment industry is not easy to navigate. Her daughter was too well protected, and even though she was intelligent from a young age, she could not compare to Fan Bingbing and the other two who broke through the crowd.
I still need to practice!
Liu Yifei was unaware of her mother's complaints; she had her own thoughts.
She's very clever!
You need to chat with them more and get to know them well so that you can know yourself and your enemy and win every battle.
Yes, not just movie characters!
