Issuance requires cost.
To be simple, release = screening rate + release time.
To put it another way, it is the shelves of a supermarket. Some goods are put on the shelves, placed at the gate, seven or eight rows, and even made a wall for you directly. Some goods can only be picked up in those corners and places.
Generally, large distribution companies talk about cinemas. Although there are differences between countries, to put it bluntly, the truth is the same thing.
Pay more favorable conditions to get a better display stand for your products.
If Green Valley wants to agree to Longyan's conditions, it means that Green Valley has to pay not only the payment fee for the issuance rights of five million, but also the fees for the implementation of these terms.
If the box office of "Burning" is not good and the audience doesn't buy it, then Midoriya will lose more than just the five million.
Of course, the things inside are more complex, with various more detailed constraints and interest distribution conditions, which roughly means this.
Midoriya is now willing to pay for Lu Yanhe's movies and become a distributor because they have made many films starring Lu Yanhe, and have formed something similar to the "fixed industrial chain".
In the market, the films starring Lu Yanhe also have a fixed audience—
This is the reason why Midoriya continues to obtain the issuance rights.
However, in the final analysis, Lu Yanhe has not yet become a top star in the commercial box office.
Moreover, the movie "Burning" is also a complete Chinese-language movie.
Can North American audiences buy it?
Can audiences in other regions buy it?
This is not the art film field that the European and American markets are more familiar with Lu Yanhe, but is a special effects blockbuster.
In reality, this is just like Chinese audiences hearing that South Korea or Thailand made a special effects blockbuster, or even Russian special effects blockbusters. European and American audiences must be skeptical about this special effects in their hearts.
Nothing else, Hollywood has indeed ruled in this area for too many years. Everyone has basically formed a basic impression.
Not to mention abroad, even in China, for many years, when people hear domestic special effects blockbusters, the first idea that comes to mind is "50 cents special effects".
There is no need to mention this example, there are countless examples.
Lu Yanhe still remembers which movie his impression of the special effects of domestic blockbusters changed.
"The Wandering Earth".
That was really a shocking film. He went to watch a movie with his friends and chose this movie. His reputation had not yet fermented on a large scale and the box office had not reached the level of more than 4 billion yuan.
But it was precisely in that situation where there was no expectation, as Liu Qi and his group came out of the ground, the shock and incredible scene appeared on the big screen, which was the feeling that still spread along the spinal cord when they recalled it.
Lu Yanhe is very clear about Midori's doubts.
He didn't interfere in this matter.
Long Yan also hopes that he will communicate with Lu Gu. After all, everyone knows that the cooperative relationship between Lu Yanhe and Lu Gu has been around for a long time.
Even Chinese-language films with the theme of "Love Letter" have sold more than $8 million in North America.
Lu Yanhe didn't say anything, and Wang Biao, who was following him, understood it and said in a joking tone: "Mr. Huang, Brother Lu is just an actor. You were so timid at the time that you were even paying for the film and refused to give more. Now you won't have to let Brother Lu do the producer's work, right?"
Lu Yanhe glanced at Wang Biao.
Wang Biao silently showed a look of "I'm outspoken, I'm wrong."
Lu Yanhe said: "Mr. Huang, if you have the chance later, I will tell them the excellence of this movie, but what conditions they can give are indeed not something I can control. You also know that in fact, Midoriya bought the distribution rights of my movies in the past, and the conditions given were not very good."
Mr. Huang thought to himself: Not good? Midoriya bought your "Love Letter", and it cost $6 million to issue the North American distribution rights alone. Now, "Burning" has only 5 million global distribution rights except mainland China!
But, there is really nothing to say.
"Love Letter" follows the path of the film festival, with the blessing of the Jose Film Festival's Best Screenwriter Award and Best Photography Award. The price they give is a market price. They don't rely on the box office of theaters to make a comeback. It is an unexpected surprise that they can sell more than 8 million yuan in North America.
"Burning Fire" does not have the blessing of the winning works of the main competition unit of the Jose Film Festival, which means that many TV stations' broadcasting rights, leasing/DVDs in the art film market, streaming previews, etc., have no innate foundations. They only offer you $5 million, which is only willing to do this distribution because Lu Yanhe and Shang Yongzhou have certain fans and markets.
Otherwise, people wouldn't even bother to do your distribution. Nowadays, most of the distribution of Chinese-language films overseas are done by a distribution company in China. Basically, they can get the conditions for two to three million cinemas to be released in North America, which cannot guarantee the schedule, let alone provide premiere, media hype, first-line program interviews and other promotional conditions like Green Valley.
Lu Yanhe said: "Mr. Huang, since "The Burning of Fire" is about to make a series of movies, the feedback from our first movie is not bad now. It is better to make more profits in the first movie, and strive to make it available on a large scale and try to open up the reputation as much as possible. In this way, then make money back in the sequel movie. Otherwise, if the first movie "The Burning of Fire" cannot be opened, it will be even more difficult to bid for the sequel movie."
Mr. Huang said: "We also want to ensure that we can be released on a large scale."
"If this is the case, why ask a company in Green Valley to do overseas distribution? It can be disassembled and handed over to film manufacturers in different regions to do it." Lu Yanhe said, "Green Valley does distribution outside North America, and it also depends on local distribution companies. Under the agents at all levels, there are many uncontrollable factors." Lu Yanhe said, "If you disassemble and find a publisher, each company may have a much lower bid, but the conditions for release they can guarantee must be better."
"If we refuse to give all the global distribution rights except mainland China to Green Valley, Green Valley will not even guarantee 500 cinemas in North America. They are now willing to pay 5 million US dollars plus 500 cinemas guaranteed, which has additional conditions."
"It depends on how to talk about it." Lu Yanhe said, "Now the reputation of "Burning" after it was screened at the Jose Film Festival is pretty good. I believe you have more than one choice."
-
Lu Yanhe has dealt with film dealers in various places in recent years, and his mentality has changed a lot.
It may also be related to his films being sold.
He knew that no matter what his film was, there would always be someone to buy it, so he was not in a hurry to react to the conditions proposed by each company, but would definitely let the bullets fly for a while first.
Because, many times, the other party’s quotation is also a test, depending on your reaction.
Even if he has had such a long cooperative relationship with Mizutani and involves cooperation in new projects, Mizutani will definitely try to win his films with the lowest cost.
People are not charitable, and they want to make more money. If you spend less here, you will earn more after you go back.
Therefore, when negotiating, you should get as much information as possible. After signing the contract, you will find that some places are fooling you - although this is not good, you can only recognize it and learn from your mistakes.
However, Lu Yanhe feels that although Longyan has been publishing films overseas in recent years, it seems that it has not set foot in real "commercial distribution". Therefore, whether they have their past negotiation experience or understanding of overseas distribution, Lu Yanhe always feels that "has not kept up with the other party's playing rhythm."
-
Chen Ziyan told Lu Yanhe: "There is no way, and it's not that Longyan and others can't do it. If they can't do it, no one will do it. But in the past, the film companies, especially Hollywood front-line film companies like Green Valley, had a deep-rooted concept of Chinese films that they didn't make money, so they didn't pay attention to Chinese films at all. Longyan did not have the opportunity to negotiate in-depth with them. Even if there were one or two movies that were really interested, it was the attitude of selling them if you like to sell them, and if you don't want to sell them. You can see from the box office performance of Chinese films in European and American theaters over the years. You can only say that if we didn't have an overseas distribution company in our country, we are doing the distribution of Chinese films and working hard to open up the situation, the situation in the past ten years would be even worse."
Lu Yanhe nodded: "I know."
"We were able to open up the situation because we got the light of the international film festival. What is the market for films like "Burning"? There are no examples to refer to in recent years. However, the transaction prices of the four major international competition units, award-winning films, and films with good reputation response are very obvious, so we are not easily confused. After we set up the "Raise of Glory" and "Love Letter" and "Late Spring" online, we slowly figured out some ways with the films. We have enough films, we have contacted enough film dealers, and we have obtained enough quotations and conditions to find out some rules. These things are our own company secrets. If others cannot access them, they will naturally not be able to keep up with the rhythm."
Lu Yanhe said: "I am really afraid that Long Yan and the others will be fooled, but this time they really made me a little unhappy. They invited Yang Zhoujin not to say hello to me in advance, and tried to pull him to say hello to me. Don't they know about the previous conflict between me and Yang Zhoujin? The negotiations with Mizugu are a bit unsuccessful now, and I want Mizugu to issue them, so I directly came to me to communicate with Mizugu. It's not that I can't communicate, but this is not what I did. Fortunately, Wang Biao was smart and immediately pretended to be a black face to help me block the words."
Chen Ziyan said: "It's not that you are fooled. Even if Long Yan and the others don't know the routine for a while, if you say those things to them, if they can't figure it out, it's their problem. What you should remind you has already reminded you, but "Burning Fire" is not a movie you made. You are just an actor. If you say so much, don't do bad things with kindness."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
He knew that Chen Ziyan was right.
-
The next day, there was a media press conference and a Photocall session, which were some film promotion and exchange activities organized by the official.
Lu Yanhe attended with everyone.
Media from all over the world gather here, which is something that only top film festivals can do. This is why the box office market for movies is not actually big, but all countries attach so much importance to it. It is one of the easiest art forms in the world to communicate with each other at present.
Politics, geopoliticals, ideology... Under various complex situations, movies have always entered the eyes of audiences from all over the world with various situations.
Lu Yanhe has taken the movie to participate in so many film festivals and has accepted so many media interviews. Although some press conferences occasionally raise targeted and sensitive issues, it is generally a normal movie communication environment.
Lu Yanhe feels that this is the most fertile ground worthy of protection among these top film festivals. He also feels that this is a very important reason why these top film festivals can continue to this day. While they are always working hard to increase their influence, they are ensuring that their film festivals reduce their political impact as much as possible. Of course, it is impossible to achieve 100%, so I can only say that as much as possible.
A Korean reporter asked: "The movie "Burning" shows an extraordinary oriental fantasy world. Can you introduce it to us? Is this movie trying to create a Chinese blockbuster series?"
Wan Renhai replied: "In fact, our original intention of shooting this movie was not to make a blockbuster, but to present a Chinese fantasy world that has not been presented. In Chinese traditional culture, there are myths and legends, as well as monster novels, which have rich elements that can be adapted. For example, the movie "Burning Fire" uses magic, yin and yang, and five elements to design a college to show a fantasy world. To be said to be a blockbuster, its size is actually rooted in the foundation of this worldview, but the story is actually very small. We still hope to tell the story of a group of flesh and blood people steadily."
"Previously, American media reported that Lu Yanhe, you will participate in a movie called "Godless" by Green Valley Company. It is a fantasy movie under the background of European mythology. Do you have any feelings about starring in this type of film, including films of the same type in different countries?"
Lu Yanhe smiled and said, "If you want to talk about feelings, the biggest feeling is the shock I was when I sat in the screening hall last night and saw "The Burning Fire". As an actor, when we were filming such films, we were not very clear about what the movie would look like in the end. However, this is also the luck of our actors in this era. With such technology, it has broadened the boundaries of films, and also broadened the boundaries of our actors' performances."
"As for "The Godless", because I haven't filmed it yet, I don't know what the difference is between the two. However, I think, just like the movies that also talk about youth, there are both "Later Spring" and "Love Letter", the theme is always just the theme. The movie is a specific person and a specific thing, a specific and unreplicable emotional experience."
After the exchange session, Lu Yanhe said goodbye to everyone and returned to the hotel with Wang Biao.
Wang Biao said: "When you answered the questions of "Burning Fire" and "No God", Longyan's publicity director complained, saying that you should not respond to questions that have nothing to do with "Burning Fire" on this occasion."
Lu Yanhe: "Let him say it, he dare not say it in front of me."
Wang Biao: "I think that Longyan is such a big company, why did it work together this time? There are so many unpleasant places."
"It's so normal. Treat it normally. Some companies seem to cooperate very happily and have no problems. There is only one reason. People beg me, so everything is based on my needs and my mood." Lu Yanhe said, "But, you see, any platform with stronger and bigger strength, such as Beijing and Taiwan, such as Longyan, is very popular and can bring them great benefits. But without me, they can still make a lot of profits in many projects. There is no need to cater to me in everything."
"The Northern Lights and Icefield cooperated well with us."
"That's because we have a greater foundation of interests." Lu Yanhe said, "If "Burning Fire" was a project I brought to Longyan, then their attitude towards me would be absolutely different. The problem now is that in their eyes, they are a very neutral cooperative relationship, mutually beneficial and win-win situation. Only Longyan can do projects like "Burning Fire". To me, they are also scarce collaborators."
Wang Biao: "This is not the reason why they disrespect you, right?"
"You mean Yang Zhoujin?" Lu Yanhe asked.
Wang Biao nodded, "And what their propaganda director said just now, I have to blame you for such a small thing."
"Because it's a small matter, I just complain." Lu Yanhe said, "I said it, they dare not say it in front of me. It's just that you happened to hear it, or they just wanted to tell me through your mouth, reminding me that these are just trivial matters, and they also know that these small matters will not affect our subsequent cooperation."
"As for Yang Zhoujin——"
Now Lu Yanhe has also thought it through.
"Shijin Group wants to enter the entertainment industry. If you buy the 'little eyes', you must have ideas about the film industry. The capital level behind Shijin, once you want to enter the market, is very likely to be an upward point for Longyan. In this case, say hello to me in advance. Even though I know I will definitely not be happy, it is better to pretend to be confused and use it to whitewash the peace. Both sides will be filled with water. It not only sells Yangzhou's face, but also has room for maneuver here. At this stage, I cannot point directly at their noses and scold them too much."
"It sounds so frustrating."
"There is nothing to be frustrated, it is obvious that as long as we have core interests and are not shaken, these small things will not affect the details of cooperation." Although Lu Yanhe said this, his eyes were cold and he said, "It's just that, just like you said, we don't need to bear it."
Wang Biao was stunned.
"Brother Xiao Lu?"
"You go and tell Longyan that I will not participate in the next promotional itinerary of "The Burning of Fire" in Jose." Lu Yanhe said, "It is indeed an obligation for the actors to not mention other videos during the promotional itinerary. However, according to the contract, I have no obligation to cooperate with Longyan to carry out so much publicity. If I just respond to the reporter's words, they will be dissatisfied. After all, they will follow the contract, and what should I do."
Wang Biao's eyes lit up in an instant.
"Okay!"
"In addition, Wang Biao, you are responsible for the negotiation of the sequel of "Burning Fire". Sister Zi Yan said that you can try to take over this part. I have no requirements for anything else. Just discuss it with Sister Zi Yan. Just a little bit, drag it, don't sign it." Lu Yanhe said, "If Yang Zhoujin brings funds into the production of the sequel, we will not renew the contract. There is no need to tell them about this, we can just know it ourselves."
When Wang Biao heard that he was taking charge of the negotiations of blockbusters like Lu Yanhe, he became even more excited and nodded like a pounding garlic.
-
Within an hour, Longyan began to apologize to Lu Yanhe.
Lu Yanhe looked at the messages and calls indifferently, and while he was silent, he also felt helpless and sad.
Even though he was so unwilling, he became a "difficult" big brand in the end.
-
That night, the night of the truth.
Lu Yanhe will not attend.
Except for him, all other Chinese filmmakers who came to Jose have basically gone.
A very grand event.
At this time, Lu Yanhe was having supper with the director of the finalist film "Dovano's Journey", which was the main competition unit.
Tim Villic, director of "Dovano's Journey", is British.
Lu Yanhe met him twice and communicated with him during the North American awards season.
Sitting together for dinner, this is the first time.
Tim Villik is very sorry that when Lu Yanhe came here this time, he missed the screening of "Dovano's Journey".
The media review of this movie is relatively positive, although he encounters the "narrow-picking" problem that veteran directors will encounter. Everyone always looks at his new work with higher standards.
Tim Velick said: "Don't you Chinese filmmakers have a grand event tonight? Why didn't you attend?"
This supper was Tim Velek, whom Lu Yanhe took the initiative to make an appointment with him.
Lu Yanhe smiled and said, "That kind of occasion is too lively. I don't like it. I prefer to be able to eat and chat quietly like now."
Tim Velick: "It is completely understandable. In the past two years, even if you have not been active in Europe and the United States, I have often read about you. You are too popular."
Lu Yanhe waved his hand, "If possible, I would rather take a break and shoot a movie to give myself a more comfortable rhythm, rather than working like a working machine."
Tim Velick: "That's true. The number of works you have filmed in the past few years is considered to be the number of ordinary actors in ten years. Why do you take on so many dramas in one go?"
"Because I am a person who is afraid of missing opportunities." Lu Yanhe said helplessly, "I know some actors will be even more relaxed. They will only make a movie in one or two years, or even two or three years, but I don't seem to be able to do this."
Tim Velick: "You can completely slow down now. Moreover, as a veteran, although I know you are still creating good works continuously, if you stop for a while and then create, you will have a very different feeling. This different feeling will give you a new understanding of creation."
Lu Yanhe nodded, "I will try to slow down the pace as much as possible."
Tim Velick asked at this time: "But, you asked me out for dinner tonight. Do you have a script to find me to work with? If so, I don't mind you being busy for a while."
He was half-joking.
Lu Yanhe smiled and shook his head, "Tim, you're too much."
Tim Velick said: "As a director, it is normal to work with a screenwriter like you."
"I thought you wanted to say that it would be normal to work with an actor like me."
"Of course, but there must be a suitable role." Tim Velick said, "Actually, there are several actors in China who I really want to work with, but I don't think it's necessary to work for cooperation. Such cooperation actually won't produce good works."
Lu Yanhe nodded and agreed.
He said: "But this time I asked you out for dinner, and I really didn't prepare the script. I just knew you were there, so I wanted to meet you. I like your directorial style very much. Almost all movies have a sense of freshness. This is rare. I don't know if you agree with it. Many art movies are subconsciously filmed very heavily."
"Serious art films are often closely related to grand themes such as history, culture and human destiny. They cannot be heavier, but I prefer to express a kind of lightness of my youth." Tim Velick said, "Most of the movies I make are actually memories and reproductions of my youth."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
"I can feel that this feeling is very strong," Tim Velick said. "I watched your Love Letter last year. You don't know how much I like that movie. I watched it three times."
Lu Yanhe showed surprise.
Tim Velick: "I'm surprised that you will shoot a movie with two heroines. This is your first director's work. Generally speaking, everyone's first director's movie is related to yourself. With your own perspective, you don't have much time to appear in it."
Lu Yanhe smiled.
He asked: "But that story was indeed the story I wanted to tell the most at that time, and because it was simple, I felt it was suitable for my first time as a director to shoot."
Tim Villik: "What is your next director's work?"
Lu Yanhe shook his head.
"Not yet, nor does it have this plan." Lu Yanhe said, "My desire to express itself is not actually in the position of director. I still prefer writing and acting."
Tim Velick: "Your script is really good. In fact, I even thought about remake "Love Letter" and make an English version of the movie, but I gave up on this idea for the time being."
Lu Yanhe smiled and asked, "Why?"
"On the one hand, it's because there are many things that touch me in this movie, all of which belong to your Eastern culture. It's a bit strange to put it in our Western culture. On the other hand, I didn't think of a better way to remake, so forget it." Tim Velick said.
Lu Yanhe nodded suddenly.
Tim Velick said again: "I saw the news that you have worked with Hollywood for several scripts, basically all commercial films."
Lu Yanhe nodded, "Yes."
"I hope you will create more real movie scripts in the future."
Lu Yanhe smiled, "Tim, I never thought of writing a story without creativity. For me, whether it is a commercial film or an art film, it is the same. The story I wrote must be what I want to write."
It must be beautiful.
Tim Velick shrugged, as if disagreeing.
"You will understand what I'm talking about in the future."
Lu Yanhe has become very accustomed to this.
Some directors - especially some more traditional and typical academic directors, always have one or another view of commercial films.
At first, Lu Yanhe felt that they were biased.
However, Lu Yanhe also accepted something later.
Every creator has his own preferences and limitations, especially those most talented creators. They pursue this "good" more paranoidly because they know clearly what "good" is.
Whether you say they are stubborn or paranoid, maybe this is one of the reasons why they can reach the pinnacle of their field of expertise.
-
Lu Yanhe was really just Yotim Velick for a meal, without any purposeful thoughts.
However, when the two of them were about to separate after dinner, Tim Velick discovered that Lu Yanhe really had nothing to look for him, and the little disappointment he showed made Lu Yanhe feel embarrassed.
Maybe I suddenly had an appointment with a director for dinner like this, and the other party came with expectations.
As soon as they came out of the restaurant, some people recognized them and took out their cell phones to photograph them.
Lu Yanhe shook hands with Tim Velick and said, "Tim, I hope we can find a suitable project cooperation in the future."
Tim Velick nodded with a smile, "I look forward to such a suitable project, too."
-
Lu Yanhe got in the car and returned to the hotel.
As soon as the car started, Wang Biao looked at Lu Yanhe with an excited expression on his face, "Guess what happened."
Seeing this, Lu Yanhe was a little confused and asked, "Is something happened?"
Wang Biao nodded.
He said: "Tonight, Shijin Night, it was not Yang Zhoujin who appeared on the scene on behalf of Shijin Group, but Yang Zhouli."
Lu Yanhe was stunned, "Ah?"
Wang Biao said: "The Internet is so exciting. Many people are now saying that these are two successors of the Yang family are competing for. Do you know what is the most exciting?"
"Huh?"
"Someone photographed that Yang Zhoujin was forcibly taken away from the hotel by several bodyguards and brought into the car. It is said that he was directly 'escorted' back to China." Wang Biao said, "Now that the domestic Internet is discussing this matter, and the popularity of Shijin Night has been suppressed."
Lu Yanhe tsk, "Fortunately we didn't get involved in what happened tonight."
"No, everyone was asking why all Chinese filmmakers in Jose went to Shijin Night, but you didn't. After this incident was exposed, everyone praised it. Only you are the most informed and know that tonight is not that simple, so they simply don't go and avoid their Shijin's internal strife."
Lu Yanhe: "Who is going to reason with? It's not that true at all."
"But everyone thinks that's the case." Wang Biao said, "But something interesting happened at the scene."
"What's the matter?"
"Chen Pinhe had already arrived at the scene, but as soon as Yang Zhouli appeared, he left." Wang Biao said, "This is what the people at the scene told me."
Lu Yanhe frowned in surprise.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know, so everyone is confused and discussing it." Wang Biao said.
He felt regretful that he "It's a pity that he didn't come to the scene to eat melons today."
Lu Yanhe laughed.
"Don't always think about eating melons. We are avoiding a storm." Lu Yanhe said, "Everyone said on the Internet that I avoided a storm."
"That's true." Wang Biao nodded, "I have watched so many wealthy fights in film and television dramas before, but now I have seen them for the first time. I am not around me, but I am the person I know in reality... It's really bloody."
Lu Yanhe smiled.
Wang Biao: "The Shijin Group is so big, aren't they enough to divide the two brothers? They fought for the entertainment industry for the three-point land, and they didn't feel it was necessary."
Lu Yanhe: "How can we understand the thoughts of the rich second generation? The growth environment is different. Don't expect to figure out what they are thinking."
Wang Biao: "That's true."
-
The next day, Lu Yanhe went to the hotel restaurant for breakfast. As soon as he sat down with the meal, he saw Yang Zhouli strode over with his assistant.
Lu Yanhe glanced at him in surprise.
Yang Zhouli looked at him with a smile and asked, "Can I sit here?"
Lu Yanhe nodded.
Yang Zhouli sat down.
"Mr. Yang, your sudden appearance gave us a huge surprise." Lu Yanhe said.
Yang Zhouli: "I hope it won't scare you."
"That won't be." Lu Yanhe said with a smile, "Before going to bed last night, I ate melons all night online. Eating melons is so fascinating that I've been sleeping late. Can I ask where Yang Zhoujin is now?"
"It should be staying on the plane now." Yang Zhouli said, "When he gets off the plane, someone will pick him up. The child is too naughty, and the elderly cannot just indulge him."
Lu Yanhe shook his eyebrows gently and nodded without comment.
Yang Zhouli's secretary brought a meal plate and put it in front of Yang Zhouli.
Lu Yanhe took a look and said, eating healthier than the star he is.
You can go directly to Qingqing Grassland to settle down.
Lu Yanhe is straight to the point.
"Mr. Yang is here to find me. Is there anything wrong?"
Yang Zhouli shook his head and said, "There is no specific thing, but I want to get to know you more."
"Huh?" Lu Yanhe looked at Yang Zhouli in shock, "It's easy for you to misunderstand it."
Yang Zhouli obviously stumbled.
He took a deep breath helplessly.
"You should know, I didn't mean that."
"Uh, I don't know." Lu Yanhe said, "You are actually not more familiar to me than Yang Zhoujin, and I don't know what's going on with you."
All the veins appeared on Yang Zhouli's forehead.
This conversation was completely beyond his expectations.
None of them are "God unfolding".
In fact, except for Lu Yanhe, no one has ever said such a joke or indifferently in front of Yang Zhouli.
Yang Zhouli: "I really want to start the entertainment industry, and I want to find opportunities to cooperate with you."
Lu Yanhe nodded, "I know this."
"What do you think?"
"I have no idea for the time being." Lu Yanhe said, "Tell the truth."
"Can you ask why?"
"I have no interest in getting involved in your internal struggles," said Lu Yanhe. "According to the situation you have shown in recent times, it is completely chaotic. Whoever cooperates with you will suddenly be involved in the internal struggle of your Shijin Group. I don't know how many unrestrained disasters will come back."
Yang Zhouli nodded.
He really likes dealing with Lu Yanhe.
Because Lu Yanhe really has a very strange style that can be said directly to you if you have anything to say. This kind of person is the best to deal with. Even if nothing is done in the end, the conversation process is comfortable.
Yang Zhouli obviously also knew what was going on here.
Lu Yanhe said so directly, and he couldn't say with a shameless face, none of these are problems.
Yang Zhouli said: "What if I don't invest in some of your projects in the name of Shijing, but in the name of personal? Whether you believe it or not, putting aside business cooperation, I actually want to make friends with you."
"After making friends, I can't do business in business, right?" Lu Yanhe asked very sharply.
Yang Zhouli smiled and said, "No matter what, the initiative has always been in your hands, not in my hands, I can't force you to do anything."
"You businessmen are cunning." Lu Yanhe sighed.
Yang Zhouli smiled but said nothing.
-
Lu Yanhe's last job at the Jose Film Festival was to present the Best Actress Awards at the closing ceremony.
Unfortunately, the movie starring Mengli and Ji Miao did not receive a recall invitation, which also means that the movie was missing the award.
Except for Lu Yanhe, no other Chinese actors attended the closing ceremony-
It's not like this when you're rubbing the red carpet.
The entire award ceremony has nothing to do with you, what are you doing while sitting there?
However, Yang Zhouli attended.
Moreover, his seat was still next to him.
Lu Yanhe: "..."
He didn't believe it was a coincidence.
As for how Yang Zhouli did, he was too lazy to ask.
For Yang Zhouli, this is just a small matter.
Then, throughout the entire award ceremony, every time there was a winner or award presenter, Yang Zhouli would find one or two topics about them and chat with Lu Yanhe.
Lu Yanhe: "..."
At first he was quite impatient, but as he chatted, Lu Yanhe really got into it.
Yang Zhouli didn’t memorize some information and talk to him, he really understood a lot of things in the film industry.
There are even some that Lu Yanhe doesn't know about.
What should I say?
Sometimes, you know that a person has intentions and purpose in contact with you, but when you see his efforts, his abilities, or talents, as long as you don’t have any deep hatred for him, you will more or less appreciate it.
Believe it.
Lu Yanhe didn't say anything, but Lu Yanhe knew very well whether it was his previous contact, or Yang Zhouli's generous attitude of asking him to have breakfast together this morning, or everything at the closing ceremony.
No matter what Yang Zhouli's purpose is, at this moment, Lu Yanhe thought from the bottom of his heart that Yang Zhouli was really much more appreciated than Yang Zhoujin's idiot.
