Chapter 685 What a coincidence, something happened
I need to eat.
The next day, my wife set off for Tokyo, and Xiang Yang definitely wanted to give her as a gift.
This is the same as holding hands and walking together after dinner last night. It is a very common thing between husband and wife.
I just drank too much water and had to find the toilet every now and then.
Seeing that he didn't scream, Xiang Yang was about to get up. Liu Qianqian lay on Xiang Yang's shoulder and kissed him.
"Come on, don't miss the plane."
"Yes."
Liu Qianxi nodded with a smile, and then stood up neatly.
After a while, the two people, neatly dressed, appeared in the living room. Zhao Xin had already prepared his luggage.
Liu Xiaoli, who had taken good care of the two babies and finished breakfast, was not at all surprised.
She had already guessed it.
"Mom, after I saw off Sissi, I went directly to work. I may not come back for dinner tonight."
Under her gaze, Xiang Yang raised his nose in a coquettish manner.
While her daughter was going for the final check-up, Liu Xiaoli stepped forward and whispered: "Remember to drink less."
Obviously, she is also aware of the various criticisms of doing business in China.
"Don't worry." Xiang Yang pursed his lips. Liu Qianqian had told him this many times last night, how could he forget it.
"Is there still time for breakfast?" Liu Xiaoli asked.
"I asked them to help me prepare, and they went to the airport to pick me up." Xiang Yang smiled.
"Okay, everything is ready." After comparing their suitcases with Zhao Xin, Liu Qianqian patted them with interest.
He turned around and walked directly in front of the two people who were chatting. He raised his hand and took Xiang Yang's arm, and said with a smile: "Let's go and say goodbye to the babies."
"Mom, let's go Go ahead." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
"Go ahead, go ahead." Liu Xiaoli glanced at her daughter teasingly and said, "When you get to Tokyo, send me a message."
"I know~" Liu Qianqian deliberately pulled a long sound.
“When we get to the airport, the reporters should take care of themselves.”
Liu Xiaoli told Zhao Xin again that she had prepared the red envelopes for these reporters when she was chatting with Su Chang last night.
Actually, it’s okay not to give it.
After all, Liu Qianqian now doesn’t have to worry about getting the draft.
But for the media reporters who came to report, it was a "hidden rule".
Her daughter is not the only one going to Tokyo today.
If others give it, but Liu Qianqian doesn't, it's easy for someone who wants to make a fuss about it.
When the time comes to "show big names", it will be boring.
"Don't worry, Aunt Liu." Zhao Xin patted the bulging leather bag on his back and smiled.
"Mom is leaving, remember not to make dad angry~"
When she came to the two little babies, Liu Qianxi leaned down and pinched their soft faces. , while imitating Liu Xiaoli’s nagging.
"Be obedient, eat well, and remember to cry when you wet your pants."
"Also, Yinyin, you are not allowed to snatch my sister's pacifier."
In the early morning of October, a house located in the suburbs of Shangjing The air outside the airport is still a bit cold.
Several smoker reporters gathered around smoking cigarettes, raising their spirits, and communicating casually.
The Tokyo Film Festival is very big this time.
On the Chinese side, whether inland, Bay or Hong Kong and Taiwan, many celebrities will go to participate.
Everyone who goes to the mainland knows that there are many films competing for awards and there are also many films participating in the exhibition.
"October Siege", "Confucius", "Kangding Love Song", "Du Lala's Promotion" and other movies that have been released earlier appear on the list.
The Wanwan side is not bad either.
"Monga", "Juliet", "The 36th Story", "The Fourth Picture" and so on.
"I heard that there is also a film festival planned for Wanwan." A reporter suddenly took a puff of cigarette and whispered.
Recently, Wanwan’s star actors and actresses have become very popular on the Internet, both in their works and personally.
Especially the one named S, there was a lot of excitement on the Internet yesterday.
It hasn’t stopped yet.
"Really? Is it true or false? Are you sure?" Another reporter nodded casually, then suddenly realized, looked at his colleague and asked in surprise.
"Really, why are you lying to me? Neon just announced it this morning."
"Isn't it an exhibition with our inland films?"
"This"
The few words spoken by the two people immediately made the reporters gathered together to smoke each other stunned, and they quickly took out their mobile phones to confirm the matter.
"Mr. Han, are you sure?" After receiving a call from Han Sanping, Xiang Yang, who was in charge of driving, frowned.
His eyes couldn't help but glance at Liu Qianqian who was sitting there with her eyes closed and concentrating.
"Sure, we just finished an emergency meeting here and have decided to protest." Han Sanping said hesitantly:
"Your company"
" "The Piano of Steel" is a Chinese movie," Xiang Yang said loudly.
Han Sanping understood what he meant: "Of course I know this, and I will try to keep the follow-up matters to a minimum."
Xiang Yang nodded.
The implication of Han Sanping's words is that even if other films invested and participated by Hermès Film Investment Company undergo necessary publicity at the Tokyo Film Festival, they will not affect their subsequent domestic release.
After all, these are movies invested by others and Hollywood.
It is impossible to kill him with one stroke.
"Let me talk to Little John." Xiangyang thought for a while and said to Han Sanping: "Please wait for my call."
After saying that, Xiang Yang hung up the phone without any courtesy.
Hearing his unkind tone, Liu Qianqian, who was about to squint for a moment, opened her eyes and wondered: "What happened?"
"A bit sensitive, let's talk later." Xiang Yang said After finishing, he pressed the right turn signal and drove the car directly to the roadside.
At the same time, his hands were not idle and he called Little John directly.
"Xiang, you and Liu wait for me for a while. I still have at least half an hour here." As soon as the call was connected, Little John's voice came.
"There's no need to attend the Tokyo Film Festival for "The Piano"." After Xiang Yang finished speaking, not only Little John was surprised, Liu Qianqian opened her mouth in surprise.
She knew that Hermès Film Investment Company was very careful in promoting this film in order to compete with "Earthquake" for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
The Tokyo Film Festival is also very important.
"What's going on?" Little John looked confused, and Xiang Yang continued: "I advise you to inform the crews of "The Social Network", "Black Swan" and "Despicable Me". They also quit the film exhibition!" Little John swallowed and said bluntly:
"Xiang, this is impossible! Don't say that the crew has arrived. Even if I propose to them to withdraw, I must give them a reasonable explanation." "You can ask them whether Neon's film market is more important, or China's The film market is more important."
Xiang Yang frowned.
In 2010, it was the same as in China.
The box office of "Avatar" and "Alice in Wonderland" are well-deserved box office overlords.
There are as many as 18 other Hollywood movies that have exceeded 1 billion yen.
At the same time, it is also the largest film market in Asia, with a total box office of US$2.6 billion.
If China wants to catch up with this number, it will take at least two or three years.
There is nothing we can do about this.
Because the output of Neon's single screen not only far exceeds that of China, but even the United States can only reach 1/2 of it.
The reason is also very simple.
The land is small and there are many people.
"Tell me what it is first." Little John also frowned. If Xiang Yang could take Xiang Yang so seriously and even make ridiculous requests, then something big must have happened.
A few minutes later, while sitting in the special car arranged by the hotel to take him to the airport, he glanced at the news about the Tokyo Film Festival and finally came to his senses.
No wonder.
"Xiang, I support your idea. After all, HYS has invested so much in China. Next"
When encountering this kind of thing, he must understand Xiangyang's choice.
In just these two short months, HYS has invested no less than 500 million yuan in its subsequent layout in the Chinese market.
This is still on the surface.
If you include the acquisition of FILA, it will directly exceed 1 billion yuan.
If you invest 100 million euros directly, how can you not care about the negative interference that may be caused to the brand at any time?
But the conversation changed and Little John said:
“Xiang, I think we can make a statement. After all, Mr. Han has guaranteed that our movie will not be released in theaters. You were disturbed during the process, weren't you?"
"Of course." Xiang Yang nodded, "It's up to you to judge. But Liu won't join in the fun."
< br>"." Little John remained silent and did not speak.
I understand a little bit, and I don't understand a little bit.
But
"Xiang, let's do this, I won't go either." After that, he said to the driver: "Please, go back to the hotel."
Hearing the phone call Xiang Yang said "ah" in surprise when he heard this sentence.
"The attitude I can express is this." Little John smiled bitterly and said: "I don't want to affect your business layout in China because of me. But you owe me a favor!"
"I will explain it to Axel myself." Xiang Yang took a deep breath.
Are you taking sides?
Of course I have to stand.
However, the commercial impact of Neon must be kept to the lowest possible level. "Let CC representatives attend, in the name of CC."
"Okay, I know. ." Littlejohn agreed.
After the two hung up the phone, Xiang Yang let out a long breath.
You have to be tough when you are making iron.
China's film market currently only has potential, but it has not yet reached a position where it can truly attract people's attention.
The same is true for the sales performance of luxury sports brands.
So.
"I'm not going either. I support you." Seeing him pondering, Liu Qianqian stretched out her hand and grabbed Xiang Yang's palm tightly.
Xiang Yang hummed: "I just told Little John without asking you."
"I think you did the right thing." Liu Qianqian shook her head.
During the few minutes they communicated on the phone, she completely woke up and checked online to find out what happened.
To be honest, there is nothing wrong with Wanwan’s exhibition.
However, the key prefix is missing.
Can she not understand what kind of character Xiangyang is?
"Wait a minute, I'll call Mr. Han back first." Xiang Yang and Liu Qianqian looked at each other and said softly.
"Well, hurry up and fight." Liu Qianqian let go of her hand.
If she said no, she would never go.
This sounds simple, but in fact there are a lot of things to deal with later.
Not only should I post an explanation on Weibo, but I should also call the crews of "Black Swan" and "Despicable Me" to apologize.
Uh.
Van Cleef & Arpels should also notify us.
"Mr. Han, I have already communicated with him over there, and he agreed." Xiang Yang's tone was no longer as polite as before, "I hope you can give me an explanation."
Han Sanping was stunned, "What do you mean?"
"My point is very simple. If you say that the person who went there has nothing wrong with you, then I think it is unfair." Seeing Han Sanping's silence, Xiang Yang added:
"Mr. Han, the sales profit of our Hermes in Neon is not comparable to the box office of several movies. I hope you can understand it."
"I'll wait. I'll try to get it at the meeting next time." Han Sanping didn't dare to agree easily.
It doesn’t matter what he said.
But he understood the meaning of Xiang Yang's words.
Is this too much to ask for?
To put it simply, it’s just two words.
Is this reasonable request?
He grinned, and whether it was reasonable or not, he made his words very clear.
After conveying Xiang Yang's words to his superiors, Han Sanping quickly received a reply: "We can't chill people's hearts."
On Xiang Yang's side, he was still thinking about how to interact with Axel on the way to the hotel. Explain.
This matter is very sensitive.
Especially for brands.
When standing in line, you must also pay attention to methods and methods, and every word in the external announcement must be detailed.
No carelessness is allowed.
He was still worried, and the cell phone placed aside buzzed again.
Liu Qianqian glanced at it. It was a call from Bea Shaffer.
"You can take it for me." Xiang Yang said in a deep voice.
He has no intention of telling his assistant what he just said to Little John again.
Liu Qianqian glanced at Xiang Yang distressedly, leaned forward slightly, picked up the phone and answered it, then put it to her ear:
"Shaffer."
"Boss, I just answered it. I got a call, the business department wants to invite you"
