Chapter 229 Wu Yusen: Good news has come (edited)
Wu Yusen has been hit by all kinds of news in the past two days, and now he is so angry that he finally didn't faint and leaned on the back of his chair to relax. For a while.
The other two people listened to Wu Yusen’s angry words without any emotion.
They even had an inexplicable feeling from Wu Yusen’s angry reaction that Director Wu’s level might not be as high as they imagined.
But right now, there is no other way but to rely on him.
Wu Kebo said slowly, "I can't tell whether the script is good or bad. It's just the outside world's doubts about "Red Cliff" and the current wavering confidence of investors. These two situations must be resolved."
Wu Yusen calmed down a little.
He also knew that the current situation was not good, so he asked, "How to solve it? Why don't Mr. Han find a way to control public opinion?"
Han Shanping shook his head decisively, "It's useless. Yes, the news has spread, and there is no way to silence Xiao Chen. This method will not work."
"How about finding another star actor to take over the leading role of Zhou Runfa. Well, as long as it is significant enough, as soon as the news is released, some attention will be diverted
I think Liang Chaowei is good. "
"This is completely random. Immediately disclosing information about the new actors at this time will only attract greater attention. Combined with the previous news, it will not divert the public's attention at all. ”
Wu Kebo shook his head. He had fully discussed these methods with his subordinates within the company.
Then he told the methods provided by his subordinates.
“To untie the bell, you still have to tie the bell. Why don’t we find Xiao Chen and let him star in our movie, but this time we have to give him a leading role. ”
"Yes." Han Shanping agreed, "Don't the script happen to have two male protagonists, Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang? Why not let Xiao Chen play Zhuge Liang, who happens to be also known for his intelligence, which is perfect."
So that’s it, this is a forced uterus!
Wu Yusen completely understood the intention of the two people.
He pointed at the two bosses tremblingly, "He doesn't like my movie, so I still have to ask him to play the leading role? I don't want to lose face?"
Wu Kebo stared at Wu Yusen's words were full of sternness, "If you want face, you have to sacrifice our investment of hundreds of millions of yuan? Is your face worth more, or is our money more important?
I don't want you to make us choose between the two, otherwise the result may not be too good for you. "
He is a businessman, and what he advocates is making money through harmony. He didn't want to be so straightforward.
But, the continuous bad news in the past two days really made him unable to bear it anymore. .
Now the two heavyweight bosses came together to persuade me.
In the end, Director Wu still didn't understand and could only speak more clearly.
Wu Yusen knew that the other party was giving an ultimatum.
He has rich experience and knows that these rich people will usually provide for him, but in some extreme moments, their true colors will be revealed.
Now is that moment, and he has no room to resist.
Wu Yusen’s heart suddenly calmed down.
"Okay, I understand. Since you all agree, let's do it." He said calmly.
At the same time, my heart was filled with sadness. Unexpectedly, I was suppressed by a boy.
Decades of reputation were destroyed in one fell swoop.
Just make it clear.
Han Shanping and Wu Kebo looked at each other, and finally Han Shanping came out to ease the atmosphere.
“Director Wu, it’s not that we don’t give face. In fact, there are already several investors who have expressed their intention to withdraw their capital because of this matter. We all want to make the film a good one. Everyone has the same idea on this point. .
Bringing Xiao Chen in was also aimed at his large fan base. Isn't that the same purpose you wanted to bring him in in the first place? The end result can be regarded as reaching the same goal through different paths, isn't it? ”
Before, I wanted to step on him, but now I brought him in and he stepped on me. How can that be the same?
But no matter how you say it, there is no way to change the outcome, and Wu Yusen also Too lazy to say more.
Just waved his hand feebly, "Okay, I understand, I won't say anything more about this matter. "
"It would be great if Director Wu could understand. ”
Wu Kebo smiled broadly, as if the ruthless words just now did not come from his mouth.
After staying in the room for a while, the two said goodbye.
Han Shanping was silent for a moment and asked aloud, "Are you sure what you said about Xiao Chen is true?"
"Oh, Mr. Han still doesn't believe me yet. Well, this matter is no longer a secret in the investment community of Emily Ken. When the Forbes list comes out next year, Xiao Chen will definitely be on the list."
"Hey..." Han Shanping sighed. , "Sometimes, I really have to accept it. How can Xiao Chen's vision be so good?"
When Wu Kebo first heard the news, he was also full of sighs.
"Yes, geniuses are so unreasonable."
In fact, Han Shanping did not immediately have doubts because of Xiao Chen's words at first.
After being around for so many years, I still have the determination I need.
However, several investors in succession threatened to withdraw their investment, which has seriously affected the financial stability of the film.
He had to ask, and after asking specifically, he found out that these people were all affected by Xiao Chen's words.
Some of them are old friends who have been engaged in film and television investment for many years.
During the process of communicating with them, Han Shanping learned about Xiao Chen’s unknown past, mainly about investments.
The two most obvious stories are NetEase and Facebook.
Especially Facebook, which just experienced a new round of financing in the middle of last year.
Many people in the beautiful country's investment community are watching.
One of the individual stocks actually has the name of a foreigner. Of course, this cannot be hidden from the well-informed boss.
After digging, we soon learned about Chen Linfeng’s existence.
These people are simply shocked. An internationally renowned writer and Oscar-winning screenwriter is actually a good investor.
Trace back to the source and look at his investment process, which is both steady and bold.
It is entirely based on the unparalleled forward-looking vision when making investment decisions. So far, there has been no mistake.
Compared with Buffett back then, he is no less impressive. He is definitely a genius.
Many big names in the beautiful country’s investment community have remembered this name by now.
Although the investment industry itself attaches great importance to the protection of information, the trend of spreading it to the outside world cannot be stopped.
Some domestic investors have always had a quarrelsome relationship with Wall Street, so only a few people got the news.
They simply worshiped Xiao Chen as a god.
A closer look at the financial situation of the Chen family shows that there is no sign of any large-scale transfer abroad.
They reasonably speculated that Xiao Chen’s investment was entirely his own decision, and he only used overseas earnings from his literary works as start-up capital.
However, after several moves, he is now a rich man with assets worth more than 300 million US dollars, which is more than 2 billion yuan.
Of course there must be something they don’t know, and the actual situation must exceed this number.
This is a big boss who has strength, status, and reputation.
So after Xiao Chen expressed his disapproval this time, several investors who knew the news were shocked.
How much money do I have to fill in the projects that the God of the Stock Market is not optimistic about?
So no matter what, I am not willing to invest anymore.
After Han Shanping learned the inside story, he was also shocked.
It turns out that Xiao Chen still has this secret.
I thought that although Xiao Chen could write scripts, direct, and act. But no matter what, funds are always limited, so big things cannot be done, and there will still be weaknesses.
It’s different now, it’s like having more power than a tiger and no longer being fettered.
In terms of personal connections and social resources, Xiao Chen is still far behind due to his age.
Therefore, at present, he can only be regarded as a small guy who cannot forcefully suppress him, and cannot be regarded as a predator who controls the situation.
Han Shanping would not take Xiao Chen's money too seriously, but he would not dare not pay attention to his vision.
For investors, they want to withdraw because Xiao Chen is not optimistic about it.
Han Shanping also understood. To be honest, if he hadn't been completely involved before, he would have wanted to run away.
Back in his office, Han Shanping immediately made a call.
The person who answered the phone was Sister Mei. She was still a little hesitant as to why this big boss also called.
Although I said some bad things about "Red Cliff", it's not that bad.
Han Shanping didn't say much else. He just said that he wanted to invite Xiao Chen to the company for a chat. It was mainly to connect with each other and had no other intentions.
Sister Mei just believes it.
After all, he is a real boss in the film and television industry, and he will not resort to coaxing.
Chen Linfeng received the news and rushed to the headquarters of Huaying the next morning.
This was his first formal meeting with this frequent visitor in the novels of his previous life.
I am also very sad that other time travelers can meet the boss in the first few chapters of the game.
He had to cause some trouble to come over to meet with Mr. Han, which would embarrass the time traveler.
Just as he was thinking about all this, Shen Fei came out to greet him.
"Brother Lao Shen came out to pick me up. In fact, I can just go in by myself."
"This is fine, come to your own territory. Brother, I will always take you around."
Shen Fei led Chen Linfeng looked around the headquarters and introduced him from time to time.
Finally, when they arrived at the door of Han Shanping's office, Shen Fei knocked on the door and introduced Chen Linfeng, and then led him out.
I won’t go into details about the greeting process.
Han Shanping got straight to the point and stated his request.
"On behalf of the crew of "Red Cliff", I invite you to play the protagonist of the movie, which is the role of Zhuge Liang. What do you think?"
"I feel bad."
Chen Linfeng refused decisively.
"Huh?" Han Shanping frowned. The so-called powerful people have their own power.
He wasn't very angry, but just by frowning, he had a power that wanted to make people surrender.
However, Chen Linfeng was confident and didn't care much.
"You are so unfavorable about "Red Cliff" that you are not willing to play the leading role?"
Han Shanping looked at Chen Linfeng like an old eagle staring at its prey.
“Or are you angry, thinking that you have lost face by acting in this film?”
"Of course it's not because of face. Mr. Han came to invite him personally. Face has been given enough."
Seeing Han Shanping's face softened, Chen Linfeng continued.
“I am serious about not being optimistic about the script of "Red Cliff". The main theme is a peaceful war movie. It is a complete joke and does not fit the thinking of domestic audiences at all.
Even if it may be released abroad , such as Neon, has achieved good results, but the domestic audience does not recognize it. To me, it is a failure.”
Han Shanping felt a little headache.
In the past, he would look down on actors who only wanted to run away.
Now I meet someone who pays more attention to the domestic audience, but I didn’t expect that he would reject me because of it.
He simply said, "The current situation is that because of what you said, many investors want to withdraw their capital.
The main reason for letting you play the leading role is to reassure them. If you are unwilling to do so, the situation will be ugly."
Chen Linfeng was surprised, "What can I say that has such power?"
Normally, people in the investment community will not change their decisions just because of a word from celebrities in other industries.
Unless...
He asked tentatively, "Mr. Han is not joking, right?"
"It depends, you are doing it in a beautiful country What a great thing, I never expected that you, Xiao Chen, are still a stock god.”
Sure enough.
Chen Linfeng understood immediately.
He originally didn’t expect to keep the news secret, but now that it has spread to the country, he was not surprised.
Han Shanping had been watching the other party's expression, and found that Xiao Chen had a look of surprise on his face, but there was no trace of panic or surprise.
He knew it in his heart.
Chen Linfeng began to lower his head and consider the news revealed by Han Shanping just now.
Investors withdrawing their capital is indeed a troublesome matter.
He didn’t want to have a tense relationship with Han Shanping. He couldn’t make movies in the future without the support of Huaying.
But it is impossible for him to act.
Once the words have been released, there is no reason to take them back.
After thinking about it, Chen Linfeng raised his head and said.
"Has Mr. Han considered changing the script?"
Han Shanping said excitedly after hearing this, "Are you willing to help revise the script?"
If so, the effect will be better than Xiao Chen playing the leading role. It's much better. Who doesn't know Xiao Chen's script quality?
Chen Linfeng coughed and said, "Mr. Han, the filming of my movie will start soon. After filming, I have to take care of the post-production of a movie and a TV series, so I have no time at all."
Han Shanping The newly raised hopes were instantly dashed.
He was a little annoyed, "Then what do you mean by this?"
"I mean, just let the writer Lu Wei make the changes.
The words I released are the current ones. The script is not good.
Then change it. After changing it, I won’t just focus on the script and say whether it is good or not, so this problem will disappear.”
Han Shanping was helpless. He said, "Wu Yusen is very sensitive about the script. He would rather pay for it himself than agree to change the script."
Chen Linfeng spread his hands and said, "Then this matter has nothing to do with me. Director Wu can make up for the difference, which can be considered a solution." budget, and finally the rumor that he made up the money himself.
Moreover, until later generations, this money could not be earned back through the long-term operation of "Red Cliff".
This time, he has more to make up for, which can be considered a blessing.
“I hope Director Wu will lose a lot of money and make a lot of money in this life.” Chen Linfeng thought silently in his heart.
In this chapter, I originally thought that Xiaolong had been unable to keep up with the progress recently, so I wanted him to be promoted to a movie star in a blockbuster movie. However, I didn't expect that everyone had such a bad impression of "Red Cliff", so I stood at attention after being beaten and revised it overnight
