Chapter 429 Give me face

Huaqiang came up on the phone to express his gratitude and invited Jiang Yan to have dinner at home tonight, but the reason was actually Xiang Hailan.

These two are really uncles and nephews!

Regarding the matter of Jiang Yan's investment in "Concubine Yang", although Jiang Yan said that it doesn't matter whether it is public or not, Fang Yihua still chose to wait for the film to be released before disclosing it depending on the situation.

TVB did not disclose it to the public, but as Xiang Hailan's uncle, Hua Qiang, naturally wanted to inform, although Hua Qiang did not invest any money.

So Huaqiang immediately called to express his gratitude and sent out a family dinner invitation.

Jiang Yan naturally agreed, anyway, I have to talk to him about "Infernal Affairs" and some subsequent movies.

Before that, Jiang Yan first went to the best partner film company to chat with Wang Jin about the TV series.

"Little Treasure and Kangxi" is not the first time Wang Jin has produced a TV series, but it is the first time he has produced a TV series for mainland audiences.

Therefore, when writing a screenplay, many details have to be carefully considered to avoid thunder.

In addition, Zhang Weijian has also cooperated with Zhang Weijian before, and he went there with the purpose of winning the next star.

As a result, Zhang Weijian has not been very good in movies, but Wang Jin has seen another possibility in TV dramas.

So after "Little Don't Understand" was broadcast a year ago, Wang Jin immediately approached Jiang Yan and said that he would do this project.

When he came to the company, Jiang Yan first saw that Zha Zhahui who was still a bit unhappy.

Some time ago, "The Gambler 3 Unknown Boy" starring him was released. For this movie, many people placed a lot of hope. Even Wang Jin gave him a supporting role, but in the end, word of mouth and box office were not very good.

What impressed me most in the film was that Shu Qi was raped, and Zha Zhahui played the role of pretending to be blind, watching his girlfriend commit suicide but had to act as if nothing had happened. This is the first time he has shown the level of actor which performed.

But no matter how much potential there is, word-of-mouth and box office losses are naturally the biggest bad news for Zha Zhahui.

And now Wang Jin has directly switched to TV dramas, causing Zha Zhahui to fall into autism again.

Jiang Yan saw him and walked over to say hello.

"Mr. Jiang." Zha Zhahui stood up when he saw Jiang Yan, showing a forced smile.

"I watched your movie, the acting was good, it gave me a lot of inspiration." Jiang Yan said with a smile.

"Ah, this..." Zha Zhahui didn't know what to say for a while.

"Keep working hard, don't be downcast."

Jiang Yan smiled and said a few meaningful words of encouragement, then patted him on the shoulder and entered Wang Jin's office.

20-year-old Jiang Yan is like an old father in front of 33-year-old Zha Zhahui.

And Zha Zhahui still didn't understand the situation at this moment, but there was a lot of hope in his heart.

That's right, Jiang Yan is also one of my bosses, he hasn't made a move yet, why should I give up on myself!
. . . . . .

After entering Wang Jin's office and chatting about the script for a while, Wang Jin asked Jiang Yan:

"Did that person ask you to invest?"

"That man? Who is it?"

"That's the guy."

"Oh, you mean Master Xing?"

"Yeah, if he asks you to invest, don't just agree." Wang Jin reminded.

"What's wrong, something happened again..."

Jiang Yan was wondering, when the phone rang, it was Master Xing.

After connecting, Master Xing asked him to go to his house and said that he wanted to show him something.

The tone was very different from the usual phone calls.

Just like before borrowing money from others, there is always a question of "Are you here?"

So there is no need to guess, it is about investment, otherwise he will definitely talk about other things directly.

It used to be like this, answering the phone, "eating", "cycling" or "drinking tea", simple and clear, each call will not exceed 15 seconds.

After Jiang Yan agreed, he looked at Wang Jin.

Wang Jin shrugged and said, "It's to the boss..."

Wang Jin began to talk about some recent events in Hong Kong.

Jiang Yan also instantly corresponded with the original time and space.

Speaking of it, it is just some old grievances.

Like the original time and space, Master Xing began to raise funds for "Shaolin Soccer" everywhere, but the situation was not optimistic, so he "let the word out" to the boss, saying that anyone who dared to invest in him would be his enemy.

Then, Master Xing was in a more difficult situation.

However, according to the development of the original time and space, Master Xing will eventually find an investor, and that is Lin Xiaoming from Huanyu International.

But in the end, I don't know whether it is the problem of Master Xing or Huanyu. After the film became a big hit, Huanyu accused Master Xing of developing peripheral products without permission, and Master Xing also accused Huanyu of concealing the box office.

So "Shaolin Soccer" won 02 awards in 6, but it was uneven when receiving the awards.

And this matter is not over yet, Huanyu took the lead in producing the "Kung Fu Football" TV series, but ended up fighting with Master Xing because of the copyright issue.

Since then, the Xiangjiang film circle has begun a vigorous "reverse tide".

In the future, there will still be companies that have conflicts with Master Xing, such as Warner, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" also has tens of millions of money.

So whose problem is it?
Jiang Yan was not interested in answering this kind of question.

He is a fan of Master Xing, so he supports Master Xing unconditionally.

So Jiang Yan didn't even have to think about investing in "Shaolin Soccer".

One word: Vote!

It's really sick not to cast a big hit movie!
And everything is decentralized, no copyright, no peripherals, just box office.

When dealing with Master Xing, it is not a big problem to satisfy him in the matter of money, to make it clear, and to suffer a little loss properly.

Of course, the role of Little Swallow definitely has to give advice, change it if you can!
. . . . . .

The situation is probably clear, so the next step is how to deal with this relationship.

The most difficult thing is Huaqiang, but we have to talk about it. At worst, Jiang Yan shouted "give me some face".

Although we are only 20 years old now, the weight of these words can compete with Shanks.

So Jiang Yan and Wang Jin made an appointment for tomorrow's meeting, and went directly to Master Xing's house.

Two hours later, Jiang Yan and Master Xing sat opposite each other.

Jiang Yan put down the "Shaolin Soccer" script and project in his hand, and said to Master Xing:
"I voted for this project!"

"Thank you!" The corners of Master Xing's mouth curled up slightly, and his whole body sank deeply into the sofa as if he had unloaded a heavy burden.

4000 million Hong Kong dollars, voted without saying anything, Jiang Yan is really awesome.

And Jiang Yan’s surprise for him is not over yet, it’s the same as what he said before, everything is delegated, no copyright, no peripherals, as long as the box office, and the heroine he will recommend, the final choice is up to Master Xing, of course , the accounts still need to be clarified.

Master Xing happily promised that as long as the heroine is not too bad, he will agree.

Well, just listen to this. . .

Jiang Yan skipped this matter directly and continued to talk about his publishing strength.

By the time it is released in 01, Jiang Yan should have distribution capabilities in North America and the world, and it is estimated that the domestic theater chain will also be established.

Therefore, the global box office of this film will definitely be much higher than the 4000 million US dollars in the original time and space.

Of course, Jiang Yan also expressed his worries. For example, it may not be released in China. After all, the original time and space was not able to be released because of the resistance of Shaolin Temple and foot shoes, so Jiang Yan raised his mouth.

But even so, Master Xing was quite satisfied.

This is the real brother!
Brothers settle accounts clearly, how come so many people don't understand such a simple truth?

So that night, Master Xing was ready to cook again for Jiang Yan himself.

But Jiang Yan politely declined: "The matter between you and Huaqiang is full of turmoil, I have to deal with him, so let's do it tomorrow, my appetite will definitely be good tomorrow!"

"Okay, what do you want to eat, I won't let my mother do it." Master Xing asked.

This time it was different again, he was able to introduce Jiang Yan to his mother, the aura was not opened, and the intimacy had reached a new level, Jiang Yan raised his eyebrows unconsciously.

"Auntie, do you want to cook for yourself? You can do whatever you want. It's settled, let's go tomorrow night!" Jiang Yan smiled and waved his hands, and went to Huaqiang's house.

Master Xing watched Jiang Yan's car disappear around the corner before entering the door.

. . . . . .

At 6 o'clock in the evening, Huaqiang's house.

Counting it, this is the third time to come to Huaqiang's house.

The previous few times were Hua Qiang and Xiang Tai, and occasionally their two sons.

But this time there was an extra Xiang Hailan.

During the meal, Xiang Tai thanked Jiang Yan for helping Xiang Hailan.

After Jiang Yan recalled it, he knew that this was an oolong.

How did he know that these two still have this kind of relationship?

But the truth of the matter can never be revealed, so he said: "Actually, I am really optimistic about this drama. In my opinion, Ms. Xiang will probably be on the front line this time."

Hearing this, Xiang Tai urged Xiang Hailan to toast Jiang Yan.

And Xiang Hailan was also very happy, and even shyly confronted Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan's eyes are in the eyes of Xiangjiang people, so there is really nothing to say.

Those who don't know a little bit think that he has a vicious vision in watching film and television projects.

The most powerful proof is "This Man Came From Earth", good guy, throw in 20 US dollars and earn back tens of millions. Many people use this as a basis to dream there all day long.

Those who are knowledgeable know that Jiang Yan's vision is not limited to the entertainment circle.

People's real vision is to look at the world!

So today Jiang Yan said that Xiang Hailan's drama is popular, Hua Qiang and Xiang Tai are even more happy than Xiang Hailan herself.

So Jiang Yan almost didn't need to move his chopsticks for a meal, and he always picked food from Xiang Hailan.

But a boss is a boss, and the biggest quality of a boss is to be clear.

So after enjoying the attentive service, Jiang Yan chatted with Hua Qiang at the tea table after leaving the dinner table.

Jiang Yan opened the halo to Hua Qiang straight to the point, saying that he voted for Xingye's movie, but only after he voted did he know that you two were fighting. For this, Jiang Yan directly expressed his apology.

Huaqiang's complexion was not very good at that time. After all, he let the words out. Whoever invests is against Huaqiang, but if this person is Jiang Yan, it will be really difficult.

Jiang Yan is a very special existence in the Hong Kong circle.

With a background, money and talents, how many people follow him to make money.

Take Huaqiang himself as an example, if he wants to break up with Jiang Yan in the future, the price will be very high.

Because Huaqiang has invested in the last two parts of "Infernal Affairs". Although the investment path is different and the share is not large, Jiang Yan has never closed this hole from the beginning to the end, so Huaqiang is naturally aware of this and does not I am grateful, after all, they are black and so on.

In addition, Huaqiang still maintains cooperation with the best partner film company. This year, Xiangjiang Films has been in a downturn, but Huaqiang is still making money. Among them, Jiang Yan's "Dark War" and "Slaying the Wolf" account for a lot credit.

So the relationship between the two parties has always been very good.

What made Huaqiang most comfortable was actually Jiang Yan's cooperative attitude.

Whether you want to participate or how much you want to participate is up to you, friends, it’s easy to talk about, there is no need to make a decision directly for the sake of face.

This is also the basic way to cooperate with Jiang Yan, and it also benefits Huaqiang very much.

For business, if this one doesn't work, then change it, one size fits one size, no other conditions, who doesn't like it?
But now because of Master Xing, this relationship seems to be going into a dead end all of a sudden.

This made Huaqiang very depressed.

He wasn't blaming Jiang Yan, and he couldn't interfere with who Jiang Yan made friends with, but he cursed Master Xing as a villain in his heart.

After the air was quiet for a while, Jiang Yan said again:
"As a friend, if I go back on what I promise, I will be dishonest. Similarly, as a friend, if I don't tell you, I will be disrespectful. If I do this, I, Jiang Yan, really don't have to mess around."

Since ancient times, the most difficult thing to do in the middle, Hua Qiang also nodded, he naturally knows this truth.

And Jiang Yan continued: "In fact, the matter is very simple. If you tell people not to invest, everyone will really listen to you? You also have deadly enemies in the Hong Kong circle, right? Isn't it the world? I can guarantee that if I don't Investment, Huanyu will definitely invest, and you know the box office appeal of Master Xing's movie, what if someone comes to make it, what will you do?"

Jiang Yan's words hit Hua Qiang's heart immediately.

Huanyu Lin Xiaoming is also a big boss, and Huaqiang is also a big boss. In the Hong Kong circle, they are all about the same level.

Now there are only so many cakes, it’s not like before, no matter how much you eat, I can eat some, and I still can’t eat enough, so compared to the problem of Jiang Yan’s investment losing some face, Huanyu Investment just let Huaqiang lose a lot of face and then gave it to him. Punched hard.

In addition, as I said before, Jiang Yan's projects are all open to him, so from this point of view, it is a good thing that Jiang Yan voted for Master Xing.

So he raised the cigar in his hand, sighed and said, "Forget it this time..."

It is indeed not an easy task to make Huaqiang bow his head, but Jiang Yan can really do it.

In addition to being friends, there are also a series of bundled interests, and after all, they are from the mainland with a bottomless background.

Offending him, this is really what a fool would do.

But having said that, Huaqiang's heart will naturally not calm down all at once.

Fortunately, Jiang Yan said again at this time:
"You're selling my face, I can't just accept it like this, how about this, I'll write you a notebook, I have a good notebook in my hand now, originally I thought that the environment would improve in a few years, or I was in China. I will give it to you if you want it, and I can assure you that the box office will not surpass "Infernal Affairs" by then, and it will not be too far behind."

"It's too pretentious." Hua Qiang immediately frowned and refused, but he felt a lot better when he said that. In addition, he also noticed the "inland theater chain". He knew that there is no theater chain in the mainland. So there is a new understanding of Jiang Yan.

In addition, the current market price of Jiang Yan's book is 1000 million yuan, but it is actually impossible to buy it.

And after the shooting, the profit will be even greater.

Of course, compared with the book, favors are obviously more precious. Jiang Yan's favors are, after all, and Hua Qiang is old enough to think about his children. For Jiang Yan's character, he thinks it is really worth investing in.

So after thinking about it, he said: "Forget about the book, just don't forget about me when you want to take pictures in the future."

"According to the old rules, it's a small matter." Jiang Yan nodded and said, "If you have something to say in the future, I owe you a favor. As long as the favor does not involve breaking the law or the star, I will accept it."

As for favors, Jiang Yan didn't feel bad at all for shouting out.

One must know that Hua Qiang helped Jiang Yan a lot in secret, just like the reporter who ate inside and outside.

Without Huaqiang, it would be hard to find that guy.

In addition, there were people from Huaqiang during the filming of the film crew. Otherwise, do you really think that the calm all the time is because of the good work?

This is Xiangjiang in the 20th century!
In addition, Jiang Yan knew after thinking about it, if Hua Qiang accepts a favor, it will basically pave the way for his son, and the most important thing Jiang Yan lacks is the script, Hong Kong, the mainland, or even Hollywood, all are fine, so promise a favor, For Jiang Yan, it was equivalent to not spending a penny.

And Hua Qiang finally put down his cigar this time: "It would be great if that person had half of you!"

"You are telling Wang Zhizhi not only to play basketball well, but also to play football well. This is unrealistic." Jiang Yan said with a smile.

Big Zhi is now considered a Chinese superstar, NBA No. 1 is not a joke, so Hua Qiang smiled and shook his head after hearing this: "Hey, I can't say no to you."

Then Hua Qiang poured tea for Jiang Yan, but still reminded, "I just hope you don't suffer from him in the future."

"Eat as long as you eat. My grandfather said that it is a blessing to suffer. Look, I am not very lucky now."

"Hahaha, okay, let's not talk about it, drink tea..."

At 11 o'clock in the evening, Jiang Yan took Xiang Hailan home with a stomach full of tea, and then returned to the villa with Xiang Hailan's resentful eyes.

The next day, the media broke the news that Jiang Yan invested in the new movie of Master Xing, so everyone speculated what Huaqiang would do. After all, there were rumors that whoever invested was against Huaqiang.

As a result, Huaqiang quickly clarified that there was no such thing, and that there was a disagreement between them and Master Xing, but they would never do such a thing.

The media were a little confused, but they quickly realized that the key here was Jiang Yan.

So many people asked Jiang Yan, how much did you pay for Huaqiang?
Jiang Yan came directly to recruit the Great Teleportation of the Universe:

"The price? Are you saying that I invested in this matter? If I say that I will make a lot of money in the future, then I hope that the higher the price, the better. After all, I will invest in good films. I am very optimistic about the new film of Master Xing, TVB I am currently filming, my good friends Uncle Liao and Jiang Hua's film "Concubine Yang" I am also very optimistic about, and I also invested in Hollywood movies, "Lord of the Rings", 8000 million US dollars..."

8000 million dollars? ! !
Boom!

A sentence containing a huge amount of information directly caused Xiang Jiang on the 15th to explode.

Jiang Yan, on the other hand, didn't care about the thoughts of these people at all. After showing up on purpose, he went home and clicked the color key of "Concubine Yang".
