Chapter 492 Brotherly Reunion
night.
In addition to Liu Haibo who came uninvited, Xu Kun also called Chen Xuebin, Wang Baoqiang, and Li Yixiang, and planned to go out together.
As a result, she was explaining to Tang Yan, who was watching TV in the living room, that she and Jiang Yiyan would not have to wait for her to come back at night, when she received a call from Jia Yueting.
Boss Jia was vague on the phone and didn't say what the matter was. Xu Kun simply sent him the address and asked him to chat with him face to face - anyway, they were all old acquaintances, and he wouldn't feel bad if there was one more person. Awkward.
The location was chosen to be a small restaurant near the Beijing Film Studio.
On the way there, Xu Kun made a special detour to the Beijing Film Studio.
"Tsk, things are really different and people are different~"
Looking at the desolate open space outside the gate, he couldn't help but feel a little sad.
I remember that back then, I and Bao Qiang had to work hard every day, and Bao Qiang was always there rain or shine. This is how the opportunity to play the leading role in a movie came about.
Liu Haibo couldn't stand his arrogance and said: "Nonsense, coming here to do some work at night, isn't that considered SB?"
"I should have let you drive here by yourself!"
Xu Kun glared at Liu Haibo angrily. When he interrupted him, the emotion brewing in his stomach disappeared.
When they arrived at the tavern, although Xu Kun was fully armed, the boss recognized Liu Haibo who was traveling with him. Liu Haibo usually didn't come here, but came to treat Xu Kun or Baoqiang.
So he followed up very enthusiastically and asked for Zhang Xukun's autograph. He also offered to give Xu Kun a free bill, but Xu Kun refused.
Before the security guards arrived, Xu Kun picked up the teapot and filled it for himself and Liu Haibo. Liu Haibo tapped it lightly on the table and asked casually: "Why is Mr. Jia looking for you this time?"< br>
“I don’t know, maybe we need to increase capital and expand shares.”
Last year, Xu Kun was still a little dissatisfied with the continuous reduction of his shares, but now he is too lazy to pay attention to it, and even feels sorry for Lao Jia.
Although he is said to be the big boss, in fact, he has the final say on key things. It is not pleasant to be in charge and not have the final say.
Liu Haibo shook his head and said: "Mr. Jia's company is in deep trouble. If we can't wait until it goes public, you can just sell it and get your money back, so as not to get entangled with them."
"I think so too. I've even thought about how to spend the money - I'm going to set up a special effects company, and we're going to set up the Youth Directors Association, right? Then the special effects company will be able to train and grow with us. Nowadays, they all advocate making blockbusters. , for industrial blockbusters, if this special effects company can start up, it should have a bright future.”
This was something Xu Kun only thought of recently. Originally, he was thinking about how to find work for a special effects company, but later he realized that the Youth Directors Association and a start-up special effects company were a perfect match.
Anyway, we are all newbies testing the waters, so we are not afraid if something goes wrong. By the time the new directors get the experience, the special effects company will also have some experience.
After listening to Xu Kun's future plan, Liu Haibo marveled and said: "You support the director with one hand and work in the special effects company with the other. You are quite smart in your calculations - is it necessary to sign the actors?"
"Jiang Yiyan is ready to do this."
Xu Kun used to worry that he couldn't play well and worry that there were too many things to take care of.
After all, he was just a cellmate in his previous life, and even though he was praised highly after filming "The Lost Way", he still felt a little weak in his heart.
He always felt that the script belonged to someone else, and that Bao Qiang's performance was better than his own, and that he was just lucky enough to succeed. If he finished those few movies, he would probably be at the end of his rope.
To put it bluntly, copied things are always copied things. Xu Kun is not capable of self-hypnosis and self-impression. He can regard other people's things as his own, and then feel at ease and contented.
But this time his original "Operation Kunpeng" achieved unprecedented success, and his confidence and morale were suddenly sufficient. Jiang Yiyan happened to have ideas in this regard, so he simply let her do it.
And this is one of the reasons why he wants to "return the jade to Zhao intact".
Of course, this 'reservation' is limited to the main business he relies on to make a living, and some insignificant things don't matter.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Chen Xuebin and Li Yixiang rushed over. Baoqiang was stuck by something, so he had to wait another half an hour before he could come over.
Chen Xuebin is becoming more and more proud now. As Xu Kun's gold medal producer, he has also participated in the production of films such as "The Wind" and "To Youth". He is now also a well-known brand in the industry.
In the two days since I came back from the road show, I have met all the people I never dared to imagine before.
"I now understand why those great directors change their wives after becoming famous. There are too many temptations!"
With that said, Chen Xuebin drank a cup of barley tea, as if trying to suppress the anger aroused in his heart.
"Your producers are much more comfortable than our directors."
Liu Haibo curled his lips and said: "Being a director will attract a lot of attention. Not to mention our director Xu, I am the only one with less than half the bottle hanging around, and I am still criticized by people every now and then - you producers are happy in front and hiding in the back, Vol. The golden powder on both sleeves does not touch a trace of cause and effect..."
"Bullshit!"
Chen Xuebin didn't like hearing this anymore: "Usually, the crew has big things and trivial affairs. Why should we, the producers, have to worry about it? How can we take advantage of these people who are eating, drinking, sleeping, sleeping?" Xu Kun and Li Yixiang were sitting and watching the two. While people were quarreling, Jia Yueting also arrived.
As soon as he entered the door, he gave a thumbs up and praised repeatedly: "I took Gan Min to see the movie. It really boosted my spirits! No wonder it broke the box office record of Dachuan!"
Although everyone knew that this was a compliment, it made people feel sincere when it came from Mr. Jia's mouth.
This is also Lao Jia’s ‘special skill’.
However, Xu Kun had been in contact with him for a long time, and he had already become desensitized to this.
He immediately waved his hands and said: "Forget it, I'm afraid my approach is not to your capitalists' liking."
Jia Yueting laughed, sat down in the empty seat specially reserved next to Xu Kun, and said: "Originally, I wanted to bring someone to get to know you, but since it is a gathering of our own people, I didn't bring the person over."
"Who can make Mr. Jia lead the way?"
Xu Kun said and poured him a cup of Laobaigan puree.
Lao Jia looked at the wine in the glass and shook his head helplessly: "You are such a dedicated spokesperson. No wonder people like you. Have you heard of Zhang Yong, the general manager of Taobao Mall? He claims to be inspired by your movie and plans to start a business on Taobao." Since this large-scale official event was started because of you, I naturally want you to be the spokesperson for this event.”
The latest chapter of this book
Take a look at the 16-9 book bar!
When Xu Kun heard that Taobao was going to hold a large-scale official event, he immediately thought of Double Eleven. The main reason was that there were too many advertisements for this thing, and even the inmates were filled with it.
Besides, the time is right.
But later he heard that it was inspired by his own movie, and he felt unsure, so he asked in confusion: "What kind of activity is it, and why is it related to my movie?"
"Aren't you an economist in the entertainment industry?"
Jia Yueting picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork tenderloin and said while chewing: "Foreign trade has not been easy to do since last year, and it has been ruined recently - but there are always opportunities hidden in crises, and Taobao is eyeing the backlog of goods accumulated by these foreign traders. , planning to hold a Taobao Domestic Product Festival
When the time comes, selling these overstocked goods at a discount will not only solve the urgent needs of manufacturers, but also provide some benefits to the people. Taobao can also take the opportunity to become popular, which is equivalent to a win-win-win situation. ”
This is basically how the Double Eleven in 2009 came about, and it successfully put Taobao on the altar that year.
And now, because of Xu Kun’s patriotic marketing, Zhang Yong, who had just taken office, was inspired in advance, so there was this ‘Taobao Domestic Products Festival’.
Hearing what was going on, Xu Kun also thought that he could contact Taobao. They turned out to be a three-win situation, and adding himself in would make it a four-win situation.
After getting Xu Kun's confirmed answer, Jia Yueting took out a business card directly from his pocket, handed it to Xu Kun and said: "Add Mr. Zhang's phone number first. Don't look back when he contacts you, you don't know who it is."
"Even if I don't know who it is, I have to pick it up and ask now." Xu Kun put away the business card and said helplessly: "I'm really not famous and I don't know how many mothers-in-law there are. There are so many things on it. If you can't protect everything, any unit will give it to you on a whim." If you don’t answer the phone, someone else will come to you through some roundabout ways.”
"There are many famous people, right and wrong."
Lao Jia sighed and said: "In addition to Taobao, we here at LeTV also want to officially launch your 'online film and television' plan. As mentioned above, the income generated by then can be converted into capital injection for you to ensure that Your shares are no longer diluted.”
After saying that, he couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
If it had been put before the release of "Operation Kunpeng", this plan would still be feasible - but now that Xu Kun's net worth and status have increased so much, it would seem a bit unreasonable to come up with this plan.
But there is no other way. He is not allowed to make the decision. Even if he knows it is inappropriate, he can only convey it forcefully.
"Mr. Jia."
Chen Xuebin was afraid that Xu Kun would lose face, so he rushed to say: "You know what our director Xu Da is worth now. It would be okay if we directly convert it into shares, and get the current shares... To be honest, this plan is a bit bullying. ”
"Alas~"
Lao Jia sighed for the third time, took the initiative to pick up his wine glass and clinked it with Xu Kun's glass: "I just ran an errand to deliver the message. If it doesn't hit the target, don't take it seriously."
"It's not the first time."
Xu Kun shook his head and said: "But if I were you, I would definitely have to endure hardships. I can't just spend my whole life..."
"Drink, drink first."
Lao Jia raised his glass again and interrupted, and Xu Kun stopped talking.
After a while, Wang Baoqiang finally arrived. His baby's face was red and radiant. It was obvious that the past few days since his return were better than a new love, and he had been very happy.
The next few people chatted all over the place without any serious words, and they didn't break up until twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.
