legendary trader

Chapter 878
In the morning of the next day, Zheng Xiaopang went back to the resort alone to sit in charge and continued to operate the liquor industry stocks.

Although the trend of Maojian shares in the next half month or so has been determined by him, which is to pull back and consolidate, walk out of a beautiful arc bottom and continue to rise, but Zheng Xiaopang still wants to watch.

Chen Fan slept until he woke up naturally, had breakfast, and left home. Of course, his destination was not the company, but went to Yanjing Homeland.

Two days ago, after Chen Fan came back, he contacted them. Although they had work to do, they hadn't seen each other for more than three months, so the two girls finished their work quickly, and some of them were not in a hurry. Projects are delayed as long as they can.

Having been with Chen Fan for two years, Che Xiaoya has gradually lost her greenness and transformed from a young girl to a mature woman, while Lin Qingyu, who was originally a mature woman, showed a more mature charm.

Chen Fan didn't feel this feeling before going to the United States. Although they often didn't see each other for half a month at that time, they still kept in touch after all.

And this time I went to Europe to celebrate the new year, and I stayed for a short time after returning. Chen Fan met the two women, and then flew to the United States to complete the acquisition of assets. This trip lasted for three months, and the separation time was a bit long , so it feels a little bit more.

In the past two years, Chen Fan has not given them any money, that is, when he bought the house, he gave them a sum of house renovation expenses, but the resources behind him are enough to make them earn tens of millions a year now, which is still in the economy. After the company takes a cut of the income, in the current entertainment industry, they have powerful resources to escort them, which is the envy of many stars.

Lin Qingyu and Che Xiaoya naturally understood that Chen Fan was behind the current brilliance, so although they did not receive any direct benefits from Chen Fan, the two women were still very satisfied.

At least in the eyes of outsiders, the achievements they have achieved now are all earned by themselves.

"I'm so angry, last month's Feitian Awards, our TV dramas last year achieved good ratings, but we still didn't win the awards. The company said that those awards were divided up by several big companies. Without our share, there are some no one It’s a small prize that I value, but Xiaoya and I didn’t do that, so how could we win the prize?”

At this moment, Lin Qingyu was leaning against Chen Fan and complaining about the injustice they had encountered during this period of time.

Che Xiaoya was peeling an apple, but she just smiled and said nothing.

"Then there is no way, my company is still an investor, and I have no contact with those award judges, so I can't do public relations.

In addition, your economic company is really not good, and its influence is too bad. Normally, these things should be lobbied by your company. "

Chen Fan also knew about it in the past two years. Although he paid for Lin Qingyu and Che Xiaoya, he was only a sponsor, and the entertainment investment department of Chaofan Investment has not really penetrated into this industry, so the influence is very limited .

What's more, although the two women participated in the TV series they invested in, it would be unreasonable if the public relations were done by their Chaofan investment. Their own agency company didn't make any big moves, so it wouldn't matter if they made a move.

"I won't talk about the awards. I also know that you can't do anything there, but Xiaoya and I want to officially enter the big screen this year. Should you support me?"

Lin Qingyu is still lying in Chen Fan's arms and acting coquettishly. She has appeared in TV dramas for two consecutive years. Now she no longer seems to be in the TV dramas anymore. She wants to hit the big screen. After all, she has appeared in many TV dramas in the past two years. The brushing of the face is almost done, and there should be higher pursuits.

Chen Fan chuckled and gently stroked Lin Qingyu's long hair, "Do you have any specific goals?
In fact, I asked Mr. Xie before. For ordinary directors, this investment is not sure.

Well-known directors, they are not short of money at all, as long as they want to make a film, investors rush to send money, and he is also very embarrassed. "

"I heard that director Zhang Yimou is planning to make a new film recently, but the type of film is a relatively unpopular martial arts film, and it seems that there is not enough investment yet."

At this moment, Lin Qingyu said with a sly smile on his face.

"You know, didn't you audition for a role?"

Chen Fan saw everything in his eyes, but he didn't say much, but asked them about the audition.

"In recent years, there has been no market for martial arts films, and no one has watched them, so I heard that those investors were very interested at first, but when they heard that the investment would be 2 million, they started to retreat."

Lin Qingyu continued.

"Won't they share it? You pay tens of millions, and he pays tens of millions. It's not difficult to raise an investment of 2 million."

Chen Fan is still a little puzzled, he has a little impression of Zhang Yimou's name, he seems to be a big name among movie directors, if he makes an unpopular martial arts movie and can't get investment, Chen Fan still doesn't believe it.

"Audiences like to watch modern dramas now. Martial arts films were a thing ten years ago, and even a few directors were hired. Now there are no investors who are optimistic about the martial arts film market. Who is willing to pay for it when they know it is a trap. "

Lin Qingyu said helplessly: "We have nothing to do. We don't want to take on the dramas of ordinary directors. It's not because the salary is low, but because we are worried that if the box office is not good, we will never have the chance to appear on the big screen again. What's the matter?" Director Zhang Yimou is also a well-known director, and this is not a martial arts film, so even if we do it, we won’t be able to settle the score.”

"Did you go to the audition?"

Hearing Lin Qingyu talking for a long time, but still not talking about the audition, Chen Fan was a little strange. Could it be that they were rejected during the audition? If they were really rejected, they wanted to fight for the role in the name of investors. It is really possible to do it, but if the other party is a famous director, the chance is much smaller.

"No, it is said that Director Zhang has raised an investment of less than 1 million yuan, which is far from enough, so the audition event that he planned to hold was canceled in a fit of anger."

Lin Qingyu said, with a helpless expression on his face, "We finally got the chance to audition, but we didn't even go through the cutscene. There are rumors that Director Zhang's film may be stillborn, hey."

At this moment, Che Xiaoya had already peeled the apple and handed it over, Chen Fan took it and opened his mouth and took a bite, "So you're all thinking about me?

I guess if there is such a thing, Mr. Xie must know about it, and the people in the marketing department of the company must have evaluated it. I guess it is really not optimistic, otherwise he would not consider investing money. "

After listening to Lin Qingyu's previous words, Chen Fan quickly figured out what was going on.

In the past, Chen Fan heard from Xie Kai that he planned to switch from investing in TV dramas to investing in movies, but he has never found an opportunity, because those directors have already had their own circles for projects that can make money, and generally they will not accept new investors. Entering the market, a solid community of interests is more important than anything else.

But what Chen Fan thought at the moment was that this time seemed to be an opportunity, and he shouldn't miss the opportunity to hook up with director Zhang Yimou.

Although he is not interested in investing in the film and television industry, he didn't invest in it for making money and making connections, but purely for admiring people.

And at this time, he also noticed that Lin Qingyu was secretly winking at Che Xiaoya, as if she wanted her to help with the conversation.

"The investment in this film is a bit big. I heard that the budget is 2 million, but after reading the script, many people said that 2 million may not be enough. Now it is said that Director Zhang has found an investment of 8 million, which is still far from the approval of the project."

I don't know what Che Xiaoya was thinking, but she actually said that, "But I heard Mr. Zhu said that in that play, there are two characters in it that are suitable for me and Sister Qingyu to play."

"I hope you have read the script? Do you know any other characters?"

Chen Fan said suspiciously, in his opinion, their Blue Ocean Entertainment Company is really not up to the mark, it can't even manage an award, and it still has the opportunity to participate in the new play directed by Zhang Yimou.

"The company's first sister participated in Director Zhang's film back then. Although she was only a supporting role, she also cooperated."

Seeing that Chen Fan looked down on her company, Che Xiaoya hastily explained.

Blue Ocean Entertainment is indeed not very good, but the company's first sister still participates in blockbuster films shot by famous directors, otherwise the company would have been unable to survive.

At this time, what Chen Fan was thinking about was what Xie Kai said before. In the past two years, Chaofan has invested in many TV dramas, because they are all as investors, mainly paying money and plugging in people. Lin Qingyu and Che Xiaoya, I really don't know if there is Chen Fan in the others.

After all, Xie Kai looks big-eyed, but when he really entered that circle, he didn't know if he would have any tricks in private, and he didn't bother to ask.

According to Xie Kai, because Chaofan Investment only pays money and rarely cares about the operation of the project, it just arranges a financial follow-up and supervises the use of funds, so it has already created a lot of fame in the TV drama circle.

When many TV drama projects are established, the materials will be sent to his desk to strive for financial support from Chaofan Investment, which also establishes his reputation.

Just kidding, investors who only pay money but don’t ask about the operation of the project are good investors. Although they want one or two roles, the actors who are stuffed in are also considered good actors. Whether the filmmaker or the director, they are still very willing to invest and cooperate with Chaofan.

It's just that the film circle is relatively closed, and those new directors contacted them again, but the project evaluation was dropped by Pass, and excellent projects were snatched away by people in the circle even if they couldn't be put on his desk.

After testing the waters and hitting the street with two small productions, they stopped spending money to support these new directors. They really didn't want to continue to lose money and ruin the undefeated golden body.

"I'll go back to Mr. Xie to ask about the situation, and see if Director Zhang has contacted the company."

That's all Chen Fan could say.

Although he intends to give it a try and gamble on the level of director Zhang Da, a well-known domestic director, but considering the funding gap of more than 1 million in their mouths, to be honest, an investment of tens of millions is easy to say, and he directly gambled with hundreds of millions of funds. For movies, Chen Fan felt that he was not so proud yet.

If the 1 million is spent to buy a few water plants or natural gas companies, he is still very happy, he can make a steady stream of water and get a steady income, and make movies and TV dramas?

Chen Fan stayed at Yanjing Homeland for two days, and then Lin Qingyu and Che Xiaoya had work to do, so Chen Fan also left early. Now the two girls have gained a certain reputation, although they still haven't made it to the front line, but The top-notch position in the second line is still very stable, because the secrecy work is done well, the current address has not been discovered by the paparazzi, and Chen Fan is relatively free to come and go.

But after this meeting, Chen Fan also said, let them choose another house, and ask them to buy another house in a place with stricter property management and higher confidentiality.

In fact, some paparazzi have started to follow and film Lin Qingyu and Che Xiaoya. Rumors that they have financial backers are also circulating in the circle, but it seems that they have never shown their faces.

Of course, this is only for most of the people in the circle, there are still a few celebrities who know Chen Fan.

It's just that Chen Fan really lives reclusively and rarely appears in public, so he seems a bit mysterious.

And there is such a mysterious rich man supporting the two daughters behind his back, which naturally attracted the hearts of the paparazzi in the media, vowing to dig out the benefactor behind them.

The people behind Che Xiaoya and Lin Qingyu, as their manager, Sister Guo, naturally knew the importance of it, so every time they arranged for the two girls to go home, they were very careful. Not only did they arrange experienced drivers to avoid being followed, They also signed confidentiality agreements with the staff around them.

This time when Che Xiaoya mentioned this matter in front of Chen Fan, Chen Fan felt that it was really necessary.

Although he felt that Liu Ying seemed to be aware of something, and might even know something, but obviously Liu Ying didn't plan to put it on the table, at least she didn't confront him face to face because of this matter, and she chose to avoid it wisely. manner.

Chen Fan naturally had to handle the matter well, not to embarrass Liu Ying.

So they just nodded and asked them to choose a new neighborhood to pick a house. Of course, Chen Fan paid the fee.

After leaving Yanjing Homeland, Chen Fan went directly back to the company to find Xie Kai to understand the situation.

With Xie Kai's introduction, Chen Fan got a better understanding of the whole story.

In the past two years, none of the domestic film and television companies dared to restart the shooting of martial arts films.

There are still costume dramas, but most of them are historical dramas and fairy tale dramas, and martial arts films are no longer filmed.

As for the new film of the famous domestic director Zhang Yimou, in fact, those investors who are close to him still invested a symbolic amount of money, but this time Director Zhang's budget is a bit scary, directly rushing to 2 million.

You know, before this, there were few large-scale productions with an investment of more than [-] million yuan in domestic films.

"What is the content of the movie? Have you contacted Director Zhang?"

After listening to Xie Kai's introduction, Chen Fan also read the marketing department's analysis and evaluation of this film. He really didn't like it and suggested giving up.

Chen Fan believes that they are the professionals, and as a layman, don't think about whether they miscalculated some data.

There is a high probability that this film will lose money, but Chen Fan is still curious about what kind of film can make Director Zhang not give up after encountering setbacks.

"Chen Fan should know the story of Jing Ke's assassination of the King of Qin."

Xie Kai smiled wryly, "I read the introduction, but I just feel normal."

"See you in the dark?"

Hearing that Jing Ke assassinated Qin, Chen Fan of course guessed what the story of the movie was about.
