Chapter 962 Meeting, a joke-like promise
Wanda was indeed caught off guard and was thrown into chaos.
After Ye Ning, the news that a large number of theater managers left en masse has been suppressed and has not been reported online; but to the upper echelons of the entire film industry, this is no longer a secret.
There is no doubt that this is definitely the big news that has attracted the most attention of various film and television companies and capital in the film and television entertainment industry in recent years. This is definitely a premeditated business war!
Various speculations and public opinions are circulated and fermented in the circle without restraint, and 99% of colleagues are just watching the excitement;
Although no one can guess who did it specifically, the "subordinate" who can do such a thing is obviously an industry giant who is not afraid of Wanda!
After thinking about it, there are not many "black hands" who meet the basic conditions;
They are either state-owned enterprises or large theater chains in the industry, or those listed companies in the industry, and there is a high probability that they own theaters. Online listed company!
Now everyone is waiting for the "black hand" to jump out, and then watch the excitement together and watch the two sides fight.
“La Dong, please don’t accuse me wrongly. The majority of the Poly Bona Cinemas chain is Poly, do I need to attack Wanda?”
Yu Dong smiled and shook his head. He also wanted to know which grandson did it;
Because Bona is in the process of privatization, and the next step is to build momentum to attack A-shares, so it is indeed the most likely person to do it. The company where this happened.
After all, everyone knows that Bona not only relies on Poly, but also introduced Alibaba Capital. Now in terms of confidence, it is not afraid of Wanda at all.
"No need to complain, even if you didn't do it, are you inspired and have your thoughts moved now?"
Han Sanping next to him directly exposed Yu Dong's little thoughts, He knows this guy too well, and he has no bottom line.
"Director Han, what you said, haha..."
Although the old leader pointed out his inner thoughts, Yu Dong did not feel embarrassed at all. He really wanted to take advantage of the situation.
"Let's talk about what brought you here today?"
La Peikang looked at Yu Dong and said in a rather calm tone. He looked down upon this private enterprise tycoon who was born in the China Film Industry Corporation but was not very good in character.
Hearing La Peikang speak, Yu Dong smiled and talked about his purpose:
"La Dong, I would like to inquire about the approximate release time of "Operation Mekong" so that "Legend of the Gods" can be staggered."
"Is it about to be released?"
La Peikang said in surprise, and Han Sanping was also a little confused. Wasn't it just finished more than two months ago?
“Because we were shooting and doing the special effects of some shots at the same time, it was more time-saving and we could finish the post-production next month.
With such a large investment, you have to choose a good one. Are you avoiding some blockbusters due to the schedule? "Operation Mekong" must have received special treatment according to Director Lin's standards."
Yu Dong didn't hide anything, he explained truthfully.
"You made the wrong calculation this time. China Film Group does not have any say in "Operation Mekong"." La Peikang's tone became lower.
“China Film has no right to speak?”
Even Yu Dong was confused at this time, could such a thing happen? How is that possible? How could it be possible that a movie that China Film Group Co., Ltd. participated in had no say in it?
"Director La, Director Han, Director Liu Weiqiang is here." At this time, the secretary knocked on the door to remind.
"Well, invite him over.
Yu Dong, you can arrange the schedule for your own movie. Whether it is a mule or a horse, it must be pulled out and run around openly. Since it is an investment of 500 million, then go ahead It's summer time."
Han Sanping waved his hand and was about to send Yu Dong away. Ever since it was revealed that this guy had "abandoned his wife and children", he, the old leader, felt ashamed.
"Summer time? That's fine, then just listen to Director Han." Yu Dong smiled and nodded, and then left with satisfaction.
Han Sanping saw this and was quite speechless. Yu Dong thought he had gotten a hint from him!
...
Liu Yifei was eating breakfast and was confused for a moment when she saw Lin Nan wearing a mask, a hat, and his least favorite down jacket.
"Lin Nan, what are you going to do, even in disguise?"
"Ye Ning made an appointment with me yesterday afternoon. He is now the focus of the circle. ', I'm not allowed to pretend? If the paparazzi takes a photo, they might think I'm the one who stole Wanda's corner."
Liu Yifei immediately became happy when she heard this: "Hey, didn't you mean to wear this dress? If you are very conspicuous when you go out, why are you still wearing it as a disguise?”
Lin Nan glanced at Liu Qianqian who smiled innocently, hesitated for a moment, and finally said what was in her heart:
"As long as I'm not going out with you, this is the best disguise, and it's an inconspicuous dress. , the probability of being followed by the paparazzi will be very slim."
"Huh, what do you mean?"
Well, Liu Qianqian suddenly became unhappy, bulging her cheeks and staring at Lin Nan.
"Tell me, every time we go out wearing the clothes you bought, are we easily caught?"
Lin Nan couldn't help but laugh. He and Liu Yifei were the only ones in the circle;
They were obviously two people with outstanding looks and temperaments, but they always lost points in "couple costumes", and they could still improve The recognition is so many times that even if you want to be low-key, it is really a "negative" high-profile. The reason is because Liu Yifei bought the clothes!
"Hurry up and leave. I don't want to talk to you. I'm full of anger."
"Oh, then I'll leave then? Hey, don't throw it away..."
Lin Nan grabbed the thrown egg and ran away with Liu Yifei's stubborn expression of wanting to laugh but holding it back. "Hmph, I don't smile, I don't laugh, hum...haha...it's so abominable!"
......
At early ten o'clock in the morning, Lin Nan met Ye Ning in a private room of a high-end teahouse not far from Nortel.
Thinking about the last time we met, it should be November 6 last year;
At that time, Lin Nan, Wang Changtian, Wang Wei and Ye Ning had lunch together, and the four families settled During Tudou's second round of financing, Weibo's share of shares was defaulted.
"It's been three and a half months, Mr. Ye. It's as if you disappeared. I didn't expect that it would be big news if you showed up again."
Lin Nan joked and sat across from Ye Ning, who collapsed with a smile on his face. Tea.
“Isn’t Director Lin curious about why I left Wanda?”
“It’s just that I’ve reached the top and can’t make any progress, and Director Wang is stuck with the shares and won’t give options. Wanda, after all, has the last name King!”
Lin Nan picked up the tea handed over by Ye Ning without any politeness.
"Director Lin really hit the nail on the head. Like me, they are all top managers in the industry. At this point, money is just a trivial matter, and a sense of belonging and meaning are the most important.
To put it nicely, we call them professional managers, but to put it poorly, they are just high-level wage earners. Without stock options, they are just rootless duckweeds after all. Director Wang... Director Lin also said, Wanda, surnamed. King!"
Ye Ning was honest. Without waiting for Lin Nan to speak, he started talking again: "Director Lin is not curious, where should I go next?"
"Exclude state-owned enterprises first? . At present, there are many companies in China that are capable of going head-to-head with Wanda, but there is no need to get into trouble; as for those who have the courage to do it so unscrupulously, Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei rank first. They have been in the financial and real estate industries in recent years. I made too much money and it’s so inflated.”
The room suddenly became quiet, the only sound was the sound of Ye Ning swallowing his tea.
"They took the initiative to contact me, and we talked several times until the group completely rejected my request for options. What I don't have in Wanda, I can get it in Huayi, and I still work in my old business, theater chain.
Why can my brothers be taken away by me at the same time? It’s all for the same reason, dead wages plus bonuses, options are a luxury! But in Huayi... I have already got them, and it will be their turn later. ”
Lin Nan was speechless. He had to admit that although he disliked the Hua Yi brothers, Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei were indeed generous in poaching Wanda this time.
Of course, so many middle and high-level managers have been poached, which must be caused by Big Laowang’s own “shortcomings”; for such a large group, it is indeed stingy to not give options. A little more.
“From now on, we will be opponents of the two camps, Mr. Ye.”
Lin Nan raised his head and raised his tea cup. Ye Ning followed, but still smiled.
“Work is work, and I still hope we can still be friends. As for Huayi, their reputation over the years has been really bad, but I came to work with shares and only talked about work.”< br>
Clinking glasses, Lin Nan drank the tea without saying anything. Who can say for sure what will happen next?
"Director Lin, aren't you curious why I only asked you out and not Mr. Wang?" Ye Ning was talking about Wang Changtian.
Lin Nan really didn’t know about this issue. He smiled and shook his head.
"Last time, I asked Director Lin and Director Wang whether Lin Nan Pictures and Enlight had any idea of opening up a cinema business. At that time, Director Wang definitely said no, but Director Lin was very interested and told the plan. He was ready to wait. A few years ago.
I was thinking a few days ago that if Director Lin had started to build a theater chain at that time, I would be happy to join him and wait for the theater chain to become bigger. After becoming stronger, I, the veteran, will definitely have equity, right? Haha."
Lin Nan couldn't tell whether Ye Ning was joking or speaking from his heart, but it looked like it was true.
"Even if you come to me, I dare not accept it. If you accept it, your reputation will be ruined. This is called prying on the executives and vice presidents of partners and allies! Haha..."< br>
Lin Nan smiled and played it off. This can be regarded as the truth.
The waiter from the teahouse came in and served a few plates of traditional pastries and snacks, which looked pretty good.
Lin Nan and Ye Ning fell silent again immediately, eating and drinking tea with smiles on their faces.
After a long time, it was Ye Ning who spoke first: "Director Lin, we have known each other for more than ten years."
"Well, 11 years."
Lin Nan nodded, curious about what Ye Ning wanted to say.
I saw Ye Ning looking at him and said in a tone that seemed to be joking:
"If Director Lin really starts to do theater business in the future, and I can't survive in Huayi... I Can you come and join Director Lin?”
Hearing this, Lin Nan really didn’t know how to answer.
The atmosphere was frozen like this, and a few seconds later, Lin Nan also changed into a joking tone:
"If that day comes, Lin Nan Pictures starts to operate theaters, And Mr. Ye can't survive anymore and comes to join me... Then the conditions and treatment I will give will be very harsh!
In addition, the two brothers Huayi and I are indeed people on two different paths. If Mr. Ye joins Huayi, we will be our rivals. "
Ye Ning didn't seem to hear Lin Nan's last sentence. He just smiled and emphasized the first sentence: "I will take this as Director Lin's promise. "
"Can't you tell I'm joking, Mr. Ye? "Lin Nan was so happy. Is it a joke? Not entirely, right?
"A promise that looks like a joke? "
Ye Ning muttered and added another cup of tea to herself, still smiling. "It's also a promise. ”
