Chapter 108 Emperor Huo Wenxi
When Zhang Chen rushed to the company, it was already past the morning rush hour, but the traffic in the capital was still jammed.
At this time, the license plate lottery system has not yet been implemented, and Zhang Chen is considering whether he should buy a car.
When I returned to the company, there were many people in the company. The promotion work of "Shark Beach" had already begun, and most of the people were busy with this.
We arrived at Dong Jianqiang's office. The latter was reading a report. When he saw Zhang Chen come in, he made him a cup of tea.
"The quotations for the distribution rights in Hong Kong have come out. There are three companies in total, Media Asia, Golden Harvest and Emperor."
"What is the result?"
"Media Asia has the highest bid, and they are willing to invest. 14 million Hong Kong dollars to buy out the distribution and DVD rights. Emperor and Golden Harvest are similar, and they are willing to reduce the distribution fee to 12%."
Zhang Chen thought for a while: "Forget it, Emperor, I have complained about their artists before. , there is no need to continue to cooperate."
Dong Jianqiang nodded. He knew that Zhang Chen was talking about the Xie Zhang beating incident. Xie Tingfeng was a male artist highly praised by the Emperor. It was really a bit strange to hand over the distribution to them. Not too reassured.
"As for Golden Harvest, is Golden Harvest the publisher of "Dark Invasion"?"
"Yes, I was the one who contacted them at the time. They made a lot of money. The box office of "Dark Invasion" in Hong Kong was HK$22 million. , No. 1 in the annual box office, they charge a 15% distribution fee, and one movie earns 3 million Hong Kong dollars.” Charged at the highest rate.
Hong Kong movies are considered big hits if their box office gross exceeds HK$10 million, and they usually rank among the top ten of the year.
Not many of Cheng Long’s movies can exceed 20 million.
"Dark Invasion" is truly a miracle.
So in order to continue to cooperate with Xingchen Entertainment, Jiahe is willing to reduce the share ratio to the minimum.
The Jiahe of today is no longer the Jiahe that was one of the three giants in the past.
Zou Wenhuai is over 80 years old and has long lost the passion he once had. Moreover, since the death of the second shareholder, Jiahe has been involved in acquisition crises several times. Although he has survived them all, it has also been very painful.
Today's Golden Harvest cannot produce more than a few films a year, and its focus has long since shifted from production to distribution.
"Who do you prefer?"
Zhang Chen doesn't quite understand this and wants to hear Dong Jianqiang's advice.
“Media Asia, their buyout price is still very good.
In fact, their initial offer was not like this. It was similar to Jiahe, charging an issuance fee of 13% and 7 million. Buy out the disc rights.
But after thinking about it, I couldn’t trust them, so I asked them to buy it out in one go. ”
"Why?"
"Although Media Asia has a distribution business, their biggest business is actually the disc business. Compared with distribution, discs are their main business.
My favorite The fear is that after they take over the distribution business, they will release movies and DVDs at the same time, which will definitely affect the box office, but it will have little impact on them
Although there is a possibility of this happening. Not big, unless they don't care about the subsequent "Dark Invasion 2", Lin Jianyue should not be so short-sighted, but no one can say for sure, so I asked them to change it to a one-time buyout..."
"Well, just sell it to Media Asia. It will save trouble and save us from having to sell the DVD rights separately."
Since Dong Jianqiang thinks there is no problem, he also thinks there is no problem.
"Also, what happened to you~"
"?"
"See for yourself~"
Dong Jianqiang took a newspaper, He pointed to the entertainment section above and asked Zhang Chen to read it for himself. Zhang Chen took a look and saw that it was from last night.
[The mysterious girl at the night party of emerging directors]
[The director of "Shark Beach" finds a new love]
[Xu Qing is suspected of making a comeback]
The titles are quite exciting, and there are pictures There is the truth, the photos are all unified, one of Zhang Chen and Xu Qing coming out of the hotel, and one of Zhang Chen opening the door for Xu Qing.
Damn it, you don’t need to guess to know that the photo must have been taken by the two brothers last night.
But he was not angry, this was already expected.
Those two brothers were quite trustworthy, at least one of them mentioned "Shark Beach".
“Let them go.”
Dong Jian came over forcefully: “Come, tell me, have you succeeded?”
Zhang Chen had a look on his face Dislike: "If you eat less melon, you will die."
"Hahaha~" Dong Jianqiang smiled and left.
In the afternoon, Zhang Chen and Fan Binbin conducted pre-release publicity for "Shark Beach" as usual. As the release date approaches, there are more and more such activities, almost every day.
In other words, Zhang Chen and Fan Binbin meet every day.
“Would you like to make an appointment tonight?”
“Forget it, I’ve been feeling tired lately, let’s take a few days off.”
The two of them were already very familiar with each other, and talking about this topic was as natural as asking if they had eaten breakfast.
Fan Binbin looked like he was hesitating to speak, Zhang Chen glanced at her: "If you want to ask anything, just ask, I see you are making me uncomfortable..."
Fan Binbin simply said He said: "I saw in the newspaper that you had a night meeting with Xu Qing. Is it true?"
"Yes, we had dinner together last night."
"How do you know her? ?”
"My teacher introduced me. She wanted to make a comeback, so she asked if there was any chance of cooperation."
"Then have you guys slept together?"
"Huh?"
Zhang Chen gave the other party a look, that means, you are not my girlfriend, you still have to take care of this?
But I answered anyway.
"Of course not. How can you be of the same character as a reporter? You just have a meal together to get to know each other, and then you think of going to bed. The child will be three years old in two days." Fan Binbin also knew that he was not justified.
She just felt a crisis.
Zhang Chen, a potential stock, was the first one she recognized with a keen eye and the first one she had an in-depth communication with. For this reason, she deliberately built a relationship and made appointments from time to time.
The Xu Qing who appears now is obviously here to pick peaches.
They were all women, and the smell of coquettish foxes on their bodies could be smelled through the newspapers.
Of course Fan Binbin could not let this situation happen.
But it’s not easy for her to stop her. Who makes her not Zhang Chen’s real girlfriend?
Fan Ye is not the type to kill someone at the slightest opportunity, so he immediately started blowing pillow wind.
“I heard that her reputation is very bad, she seems to have been a mistress...”
"Hmm~"
Seeing that Zhang Chen didn't respond, Fan Binbin continued to add information: "She has had several financial sponsors, and she is known as the big Sammi in Beijing. Do you understand what Da Sammi means?"
"What do you want to say?"
Seeing that Zhang Chen didn't seem to care, Fan Binbin was still unwilling: "Last year, something happened to her sponsor. It must be because of this that she The comeback, to put it bluntly, no one is taking care of her anymore. By the way, I heard that she is missing one on her chest..."
"Don't talk nonsense..."
This time Zhang Chen finally reacted.
"That's all deliberately smearing. How can anyone believe this kind of thing? She's a good person."
"Ah, you also said you didn't sleep with her? You really..."
Fan Binbin looked like I had discovered him, and Zhang Chen quickly covered his mouth.
“Auntie, you can’t talk nonsense about this kind of thing, what’s the difference in age?”
Fan Binbin looked over suspiciously. Judging from Zhang Chen's reaction, it seemed that it was not the case. Now she was a little unsure.
"Anyway, remember, this woman has a very bad reputation. It will do you no good to get involved with her."
Zhang Chen was also a little unconvinced, "Okay, don't miss her. Come on, think about yourself more, right?”
This is a bit of a defense.
Her current reputation is not good, to be exact, she is about to be hacked.
The mistress was kept, from recording and sleeping to producing...
All kinds of black materials are noisy in the world, and the queen of domestic black materials deserves the title.
“I was deliberately smeared. Some people thought I was blocking the road, so they made up all kinds of rumors to smear me.
And the media is also hateful. I was at the airport last time , a paparazzi took a camera and took pictures of my face. When I got angry, I kicked him, and then..."
"Then the media reported that 'Fan Binbin is of low quality and kicked reporters'... ”
Zhang Chen answered. Of course he knew this. Twenty years later, people would still dig out these dirty facts from time to time.
"Yes, but do you blame me? It's so disrespectful for reporters to slap you in the face."
Zhang Chen was also a little speechless: "If you know you are causing trouble, don't do it again. Reporter, otherwise when will you be able to clear your name? After a long time, it will be true even if it is not true. You have to have a good relationship with the reporter.
Oh, your character, forget it, I told you. How are you thinking about that matter?"
Zhang Chen changed the subject, and Fan Binbin no longer dwelled on what he had just said, and immediately said: "I have already contacted Mu Xiaoguang..."
Zhang Chen nodded: "Well, it would be much better if you have a professional team with your physique."
Fan Binbin was curious: "What's my physique?"
"Gossip physique, dirty physique ..." Zhang Chen replied angrily.
Just after attending the event, Zhang Chen received a call from Dong Jianqiang.
"Huo Wenxi from the Emperor wants to meet and talk with you~"
"Huo Wenxi?"
"Yes, she is the artist director of Emperor."
"What are you talking about, distribution? Didn't you tell her about Emperor's exit?"
"I told you, but she still wants to see you. Maybe she has other things to talk about."
Zhang Chen thought for a while: "Okay, let's arrange it in the evening."
After hanging up the phone, Fan Binbin next to her cast an envious look. She had been in Hong Kong circles, so of course she knew who Huo Wenxi was.
However, I am more and more convinced that my vision is correct. The Emperor has even taken the initiative to come to visit, and Zhang Chen is indeed a potential stock.
In the evening, the group met as promised.
The location was arranged at Dadong Roast Duck Restaurant, where I met Huo Wenxi for the first time. This is also the home of Star Entertainment, so it was Dong Jianqiang who came to promote it.
Among the famous roast duck restaurants in Beijing, Da Dong is not the best, but its price is the most expensive because its main customer group is foreigners.
Several people met and greeted each other.
Huo Wenxi is dressed like an elite strong woman, and her small suit fits her perfectly.
There was a female artist traveling with her, whose name she didn’t know, but she looked familiar.
"Minyi, say hello to Director Zhang..."
"Hello, Director Zhang, my name is He Minyi, this is the first time we meet, please take care of me."
"Director Zhang, Minyi and our company are highly praised. I brought her here mainly to get to know Director Zhang..."
"Miss He is naturally beautiful, no wonder she is highly praised by the Emperor."< br>
He has heard of the name He Minyi, but he seems to have no impression of it. He probably has not starred in any famous plays in his later generations.
As for the high praise, just listen to it. Everyone knows that the only men who are favored by the Emperor are Xie Biwang, and the women are twins.
