Chapter 399: Exchange of information
Chen Feng thought hard in his mind. Although he was somewhat familiar with the woman in front of him, he couldn't remember who she was. He didn't pretend to know her falsely. He just He opened his mouth and asked: "Sorry, I seem to have seen you somewhere, but once I can’t remember it at the moment, can you tell me your name?”
After hearing what Chen Feng said, the smile on the woman’s face couldn’t help but froze slightly, and she couldn’t help but feel a little angry in her heart. If it weren’t for Chen Feng’s expression, It seemed like he was faking it, and she would definitely turn around and leave without giving him a good look.
In addition, her company's current situation is not very good, but the newly established company Fengmang Film and Television is developing very well. She still hopes to make good friends so that there is a possibility of cooperation in the future.
Therefore, she immediately suppressed the anger in her heart, sighed and said, "Oh, it seems that I really have to accept my old age, and not many people know me since I haven't acted in a few years."
When Chen Feng heard what she said, an idea flashed in his mind, and he suddenly thought of saying: "Concubine Qi, you are Concubine Qi. I'm sorry, Miss Tang, I didn't recognize you just now."
About seven or eight years. Before, the third female lead in a popular palace fighting drama was in front of me, playing a cute and cute character in it. She is a pure and innocent concubine. With this popular drama at the time, she, the third female lead, of course won the love of many viewers, and her popularity soared. After that, she acted in some TV dramas, although they were not as good as that one. The drama is very popular, but she also often appears on TV, and she can be regarded as a domestic first-line actress.
It’s just that Chen Feng has never been a fan of star-chasing or palace-fighting dramas. The reason why he still has an impression of her is because he accompanied his ex-wife Shen Lin to watch the palace-fighting drama back then. Of course, he just doesn’t like her. Impressed.
But Chen Feng has only watched the palace drama she participated in. As for the other TV series she participated in or even starred in, he has never watched any of them.
And he only knew that her surname was Tang, but he couldn't remember her specific name. Of course, he was too embarrassed to ask her specific name at this moment, so he was right to just call her Miss Tang.
After hearing that Chen Feng finally remembered who she was, Tang Xinyi couldn't help but smile: "It's okay that you finally remembered. Otherwise, I would be too embarrassed. I thought I should be famous before."< br>
Chen Feng also smiled and said: "Of course you are famous. It's just that although I am the boss of a film and television company, I don't usually watch TV series, and I rarely even watch movies."
He This is also true.
"Then it's really easy for you to be the boss. What's even more rare is that your company's development momentum is still so good. I heard that the second TV series produced by your company is about to be released on the stars. "
Chen Feng smiled and nodded: "Boss Tang is well-informed."
Tang Xinyi smiled and said: "I also know that you have a new drama that is about to start filming. I heard that the investment is 50 million, is that true?"
Chen Feng nodded: "Absolutely."
"You are really amazing. This year the company has been extraordinary since its establishment. The first "Heshan Order" became a hit when it was released, and then the second drama also successfully became a star, and now the third one will start filming soon."
Speaking of this, she sighed and continued: "Unlike our company, we shot a TV series last year and barely recovered the cost. The one we shot this year has not been sold yet. It is really incomparable. "
"I don't know much about the company's management. I usually don't go to the company. The general manager is mainly responsible for all matters in the company. Her name is Lu Sijia. I don't know if you have heard of her. ”
"Of course I know Lu Sijia. We have met before, but we are not familiar with each other yet. Did she come with you this time? Can you introduce me to her?"
"She also Here you go. I'll take you over to find her." Chen Feng said enthusiastically.
"Thank you very much."
"You're welcome, I'll take you to find it."
Although Chen Feng doesn't like to socialize, he also knows that his company has It is necessary to expand some contacts and channels, and Tang Xinyi is a female president of a film and television company, so she and Lu Sijia should have something in common.
So, Chen Feng took Tang Xinyi to find Lu Sijia, and the two women soon chatted together.
Chen Feng, on the other hand, automatically stepped out of the way and continued to eat.
It’s just that he was destined not to keep a low profile tonight. Just after he finished chewing a chicken leg, someone came to him again.
"Hello, Boss Chen, I am Chen Zhou from Hongyi Fund, and I have the same surname as you. Are you interested in chatting about film and television investment?"
This guy named Chen Zhou is almost four years old. He is about ten years old, wearing a suit and leather shoes, and wearing black-rimmed glasses. He looks very smart and capable, and has the air of a shopping mall elite all over his body.
His first impression of this person was quite good, because he didn't talk nonsense, which was more to his liking.
However, Chen Feng is not interested in any funds or investments now. He just shook his head and said: "No interest. Our company has plenty of funds now, and there is already a new drama that has just started filming, so we have no plans. Financing."
Chen Zhou was not angry and said with a smile: "I know that your company has abundant funds now, so I have no intention of investing in you, but I want to attract investment from your company. There is a film project, script, director and male and female The protagonist has basically been determined, but there is still a bit of a gap in investment funds. If you are interested, you can participate in it. "
Chen Feng heard what he said and asked with slight interest: "This project. Which company is taking the lead? "
"Shengyi Film and Television, one of the top three domestic companies, chose Zhang Yide as the director, and the male and female protagonists are also top domestic stars. The script is also first-rate, and is co-written by three well-known domestic screenwriters. Build.”
"If that's the case, why do we still need to attract investment?" Chen Feng asked suspiciously.
Chen Zhou laughed and said: "The investment in this movie is too high. The male and female protagonists are paid nearly 100 million, so the initial budget is at least 180 million. With such a large amount of investment, Shengyi Film and Television Of course I don’t dare to take the risk and pay it all myself. . So we found a lot of investors, and our Hongyi Fund is one of them. I won’t hide it from you. We, Hongyi, have invested 30 million, and there are currently two other investors, and if you have one, there are also 30 million. If you are interested but worried, you can Invest 20 million to try the water."
When Chen Feng heard what he said, he understood a little and asked with a smile: "So, is this film project currently led by your Hongyi Fund?"
Chen Zhou didn’t hide it either, laughing. He said: "We at Hongyi are fully responsible for the financing of this project."
After Chen Feng thought for a while, he said: "Okay. We will consider it. The details will have to wait until I return. Find someone to discuss with and then decide.”
"Okay. This is my business card. If you are interested, please give me a call."
Chen Zhou is a quick-tongued person who speaks eloquently and seems to do things neatly. After leaving a business card for Chen Feng, he took the initiative to flash it. People.
Chen Feng continued to eat, but soon someone came over and handed him a business card, asking for acquaintance.
It is very common to exchange business cards with each other on such occasions. Even though WeChat is very popular now, it is impossible for people of their level to just add each other on WeChat when they have just met. If this is done, it will look very low. Not stable either.
So, business cards with a long history are more appropriate in this kind of occasion.
It didn't take long for Chen Feng to receive several business cards, and he also sent out several of them himself.
When they were almost done eating, Lu Sijia brought Tang Xingying over to find him. "Boss, the film and television adaptation rights of the novel "Flowers Fall and Flowers Bloom" are in the hands of Sister Xinyi's company. She intends to transfer it or cooperate with us to develop it. What do you think?"
< br>""Flowers Bloom and Fall"? Who wrote it? Is it famous?" Chen Feng really didn't know about this novel and asked three times.
The two women looked at Chen Feng in surprise, and Lu Sijia had a bit of contempt in her eyes. He said angrily: "Manyun knows, right? This novel was written by Manyun and it is very famous. I heard that the sales volume of the physical book has exceeded one million copies. It is very popular among young people."
Manyun is a well-known modern young writer, and many of her works have been adapted into film and television dramas.
Chen Feng has also heard of it, but doesn’t know much about it, including whether he is a boy or a girl. The pen name is female, but that’s not necessarily true.
"Oh, I see. Are you very optimistic about this novel?"
Lu Sijia nodded affirmatively: "Of course. This novel has a wider audience and is very popular among young people. If we If I can get the adaptation rights and film it, I think I won’t lose money. Of course, the copyright fee shouldn’t be too high. Sister Xinyi, you said 3,000. The copyright transfer fee of 10,000 yuan is a bit high."
Tang Xinyi smiled and shook her head: "Thirty million yuan is really not expensive, and my original intention is not to transfer the copyright directly, but to cooperate with each other. Development. We use the copyright as an investment, and you pay for the filming. We can discuss the specific distribution of copyright income.”
"Boss, what do you think?" Lu Sijia asked Chen Feng again.
Chen Feng shrugged indifferently and said: "You can see for yourself, I don't have any objections. Of course, I think the copyright transfer fee of 30 million is too high. If it is this price, I think it is No need to buy it.”
Tang Xinyi couldn't help but said coquettishly after hearing this: "Boss Chen, this is Man Yun's best-selling novel. Although I only spent 8 million to get the rights to adapt this novel five years ago, the price at that time was also It’s already considered a sky-high price. Five years later, a company wanted to buy it for 25 million, but I didn’t agree.”
Chen Feng shook his head and said, “I don’t really understand this. I just think 30 million is too expensive. , if it requires more money to buy it and put it up for auction, the risk is too great."
Lu Sijia said: "Yes, if it is so expensive, the investment will be too high. I believe that is why you have been so late. Start shooting, otherwise it would have been shot long ago.”
Tang Xinyi immediately countered: "Since we are afraid of risks, then our two companies will cooperate together and share the risks."
Chen Feng didn't want to argue with her on this matter, so he spread his hands and said, "I don't care about this. Yes. You two can discuss it carefully and let me know the result."
"Sister Xinyi, look. , He is so irresponsible as a boss."
Tang Xinyi also shook her head and said: "Yes. He is so easy to take advantage of."< br>
Chen Feng gave them a look and asked them to figure it out for themselves. Then he ignored them and went over to order a glass of champagne from the waiter's tray.
Seeing this, the two women could only shake their heads helplessly, and then walked aside hand in hand to continue discussing possible cooperation.
After Chen Feng finally ate quietly for a few minutes, Tao Yaoyang took him to introduce a few more people.
It can be seen that Tao Yaoyang enjoyed himself quite a lot at this party. Everyone gave him some respect, and Chen Feng also benefited from it. Everyone was also polite to him.
After chatting with these people, Chen Feng ran away directly. Then he walked out of the banquet hall, found the waitress outside, and asked her to take him to the room to rest.
The waitress took him to a room downstairs diligently. After Chen Feng entered, he lay down directly on the bed.
It's not that he can't leave directly, but after all, no one else has left yet, and this is a party hosted by Tao Yaoyang and inviting him, so leaving early is a bit bad.
In addition, Lu Sijia has no intention of leaving yet, and Chen Feng wants to wait for her.
And since he didn’t want to continue talking nonsense and being hypocritical with these people in the banquet hall, it was very appropriate to open a room here to hide for a while.
After checking his cell phone alone in the room for more than an hour, Chen Feng saw that it was almost ten o'clock before Chen Feng sent a message to Lu Sijia, asking her if she could leave?
After a while, Lu Sijia replied and said that he would have to wait a while, after all, no one else had left yet.
Then, she sent another message, asking Chen Feng to come to the rescue, saying that a man was stalking her and Tang Xinyi like a dog-skin plaster.
If the other party was only pestering Tang Xinyi, Chen Feng would certainly not get over it without any trouble, but if the other party was also pestering Lu Sijia, he had to get over it.
Chen Feng quickly left the room and returned to the banquet hall.
After taking a quick look, he saw Lu Sijia and Tang Xinyi waving at him. The two white jade-like women raised their hands high and waved, making it difficult not to attract attention.
Chen Feng walked towards them and saw the man standing beside them.
He is actually very handsome. He is in his thirties, tall and has long legs. His clothes are also very good, casual pants and a POLO shirt, and his hair is meticulously taken care of.
“When I was studying at the University of Southern California, my favorite thing was riding a bicycle. The school was like a community, without the walls of domestic universities, and it was very open...”
This person While the handsome man was still chatting with the two women, Chen Feng passed by He interrupted directly: "Sorry, I have something to talk to them about alone."
Without waiting for the man's reaction, Chen Feng said to the two women: "You two, please come with me."
The two women smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Chen Feng just led them to a place by the window. There was no one here.
"Who is this man? Why do you want to pester you?"
Chen Feng took a look at the man standing there looking towards them.
Lu Sijia replied: "He is an investment manager of Cai Rong Fund, and he has drunk foreign ink. He came to me to attract investment, and he came to her to inject capital. In addition, I think he may have a little interest in us. That’s right. After all, we are both beautiful women.”
Hearing this, Chen Feng commented pertinently: “You are not modest.”
"Aren't we beautiful women?" Lu Sijia asked dissatisfiedly.
Chen Feng ignored her and asked directly: "I think he is quite handsome, and he is a fund manager at a young age. Are you really not interested?"
