China Entertainment Anchor
Chapter 578 The Distribution Battle
"I discovered it. You guys who brought your wives here are the last to arrive." Mr. Xing Meitan said with a smile.
"Yeah, we guys can't do anything if our wives can't help it." Fiber Optic King Chang Tian said pretending to be helpless.
After Princess Peacock sat down, she humbly said to the two bosses: "Mr. Tan, Mr. Wang is joking."
After saying that, she smiled coquettishly at Liu Yifei and said, "Sissi, we sisters can communicate more in the future. I think we will have a lot in common."
Liu Yifei suddenly felt like she had swallowed a fly. She was really not familiar with the Peacock Princess, so even if she called her Sissi, she still wanted to communicate with her about how to be a madam?
Liu Yifei smiled at Princess Peacock.
Mr. Cai listened silently at the main table. The main table was particularly deserted today. There were only five bosses plus Zhang Yang, Liu Yifei, her and Princess Peacock.
Neither China Film nor Shanghai Film and Television invited me.
Soon six o'clock arrived, and the celebration party officially began.
This time it is Xie Nan and Liu Yandang of Fiber Optic who are the hosts.
Fiber Optic may not be good at acting as a company, but the host can take a look.
Liu Yan's outfit today was normal, but the outfit she usually wore for events was amazing.
In the early years when she was recording a program on Suzhou Satellite TV, someone ridiculed her about her dressing. She directly said that the censorship standards of Suzhou Satellite TV were her standards. This was a clear attempt to get ahead of herself.
As for Xie Nan, she will be chic from now on.
After the host spoke, he smashed the ice sculptures and gave out red envelopes.
This time the five bosses went up to hand out red envelopes to the five leading actors, and one of them happened to be responsible for one of the leading actors. Zhang Yang didn't pay for it, so he wouldn't steal the limelight.
The remaining red envelopes will be distributed by the staff to relevant personnel according to instructions.
The other five leading actors don't know about it, but it would be good to have 250 million in Naza's five million hands. Most likely only 150 million, or even less.
I remember that in the early years, Zhou Xun was given a car when she attended an event. She happily drove it back, but it was repossessed by her then agency Rongxingda within two days.
Zhou Xun must have been confused at that time.
The banquet started after the distribution of red envelopes, and everyone was supposed to come to the main table for a toast soon.
But today, the celebrities sitting close to each other found that the atmosphere at the main table was abnormal!
The bosses ate in silence, and there was no lively atmosphere. Was it because there were too few people?
After a while, Mr. Wandaye picked up his wine glass and said proactively: "Everyone, Director Zhang has made a lot of money with us this time. Let's toast Director Zhang together."
"Yes, what Mr. Ye said makes sense. Zhang Yang, we want to toast you." Mr. Xiao Wang also picked up the wine glass and said.
The other three people also raised their glasses. As for Mr. Cai, she was not even qualified to raise the glass now.
"You're welcome, we are all partners!" Zhang Yang picked up the wine glass with a smile, and the six of them stood up in a tacit understanding.
After everyone clinked glasses, Mr. Wang pretended to be curious and asked, "Zhang Yang, do you want to get involved in tax issues?"
Zhang Yang waved his hands and said, "Is this something I can intervene in if I want to? I just said it casually, why are you all so interested in it?"
"The country still needs to make changes in this area, and the charges are a bit too much." Mr. Xiao Wang said worriedly.
Zhang Yang thought to himself, if you just steal and leak without changing, you are still a talent.
In fact, the few people sitting here may be more serious than the actors, but they are at the center. If you want to find them, check them layer by layer from the outside in!
The ones on the outside are the celebrities and their managers. By the time they get there, everything has been dealt with long ago, and even the scapegoats have been found.
"By the way, what are your plans for Venice this year?" Fiber Optic King Chang Tian asked at this time.
"Let's go as normal! What else can we plan?" Zhang Yang said strangely.
"How about we go over there together to support him," Fatty Yu also said.
Mr. Cai was listening and thinking to himself, I also want to go over and support him, and is this meant to support him? This is Zhang Yang’s new movie.
As soon as Fatty Yu opened his mouth, people from several companies began to agree.
He looked like he wanted to go over and support him.
Zhang Yang said in embarrassment: "I am very particular about what I do. How can I not do anything without giving me benefits? But from the end of May last year to now, I have made four movies. I am physically and mentally exhausted. I don't want to make a movie, but I want to No new movies."
Mr. Xiao Wang said grandly: "It's okay. Just wait until Zhang Yang wants to take pictures. Just don't forget to take us to play."
Others nodded in agreement.
"Thank you for watching, come on, let's have a drink." Zhang Yang said with great gratitude.
"Director Zhang, can you make an international movie this time?" Mr. Xingmei Tan suddenly said after everyone toasted.
"Yes, the domestic box office of "Extreme Career" is okay, but internationally it's just not that good." Mr. Wanda Ye also said.
"Of course there is no problem." Zhang Yang said cheerfully.
The people at the head table looked at Zhang Yang in surprise, not expecting that Zhang Yang was so easy to talk to.
Even Liu Yifei was a little surprised. He knew that Zhang Yang didn't want to make this movie.
"However, the investment amount is a bit large in this case." Zhang Yang said hesitantly.
"Even if it's 100 million US dollars, it's not a problem." Mr. Tan said boldly.
"What can one hundred million dollars do? You may have forgotten about my remuneration. Just like many Wanwan actors in Mainland China ask for 40 per episode of TV series, but Wanwan only gets or per episode.
It's the same for me. In the past, my own films all had domestic actors, so I didn't care so much.
But if you want to go international, you have to hire big-name European and American actors. How can you hire real big-name actors in Europe and the United States now if you don’t have 1000 million US dollars?
After they join, my remuneration will also be based on international standards, which will be no more than 8000 million U.S. dollars. Do I have to count the rest? "Zhang Yang analyzed.
When several people heard this, Zhang Yang's salary accounted for most of the cost, which was hard for them to accept.
"You also know the movie "Joker"! The original production cost was about 6000 million US dollars, but after I directed it, the cost was almost 1.4 million US dollars." Zhang Yang said very Versailles. If they really did this, they would be giving money to Zhang Yang to make the movie, and after the filming, Zhang Yang would get as much as they did.
"I think we can just shoot normally." Fatty Yu said first.
It's funny to say that among the five CEOs here, Fatty Yu had the best performance in movies last year, but he is also the one with the least net worth. The listing of the US stock market devastated him.
As soon as Fatty Yu started, this internationalization proposal was shelved.
After several people at the main table finished talking about serious business, the atmosphere changed. Everyone looked like they were laughing and talking to each other.
Seeing this, the leading actors in the movie also started to come over to toast, and everyone responded to it again.
The celebration banquet ended before eight o'clock. Since Liu Yifei and Princess Peacock were there, it was difficult to make any other arrangements, so everyone dispersed.
Zhang Yang and Liu Yifei walked to the car. The assistant opened the door. Zhang Yang was about to get in the car when a voice came over.
"Yifei, please lend me Zhang Yang for a while!"
Zhang Yang and Liu Yifei looked up and saw Wang Changtian.
Zhang Yang waved his hand to Liu Yifei, and Liu Yifei got in the car on her own.
"Come back soon." Liu Yifei said in concern.
Zhang Yang nodded and walked to Wang Changtian and asked curiously: "Mr. Wang, what are you..."
Wang Changtian pulled Zhang Yang and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to relieve the hangover."
Zhang Yang chuckled, Lao Wang has something going on!
Soon the two came to a tea room, where Zhang Yang and Wang Changtian sat and watched a beautiful waiter performing tea art.
The beauty is wearing a blue and white porcelain cheongsam, and her tea-making movements are smooth and fluid, which is very pleasing to the eye.
"To drink tea, you have to go to a professional place to enjoy the best." Wang Changtian said with a sigh.
"It has a different flavor if you brew it yourself." Zhang Yang thought for a while and said.
"Zhang Yang, what do you think of my optical fiber?" Wang Changtian suddenly asked.
"Great!"
"How about you invest in my fiber optics."
Zhang Yang looked at Wang Changtian in surprise and asked, "What, the fiber is short of money? I can lend you some."
"Our optical fiber is about to run out." Wang Changtian said in a cautious tone.
"You all made a lot of money last year from "My Deskmate," "The Breakup Master," and "That Year in a Hurry!"
Zhang Yangzheng understood what he thought of and suddenly said: "You are saying that your distribution advantage is gone, right?"
What a strong advantage fiber optics had in offline distribution in the past can be seen from the film schedule of "Where Are We Going, Dad" which was canceled by Zhang Yang last year?
But now that Internet companies such as Meiyi, Taopiaopiao, and Baipin have entered the market, the influence of optical fiber has naturally weakened.
Wang Changtian did not speak. Instead, he took a sip of tea and asked, "Are you interested in investing?"
How could Zhang Yang invest? Current investment in the film and television industry is a sinkhole for high-end acquisitions.
Zhang Yang shook his head and said, "I'm really interested in starting my own film business."
"Then I have to cooperate with Internet companies. I really don't want to cooperate with them." Wang Changtian said feeling slightly disappointed.
Zhang Yang suddenly asked, "Are you going to cooperate with Ah Li or Teng Xun?"
"Why does Teng Xun care about us? By the way, I forgot that you are also Teng Xun's major shareholder." Wang Changtian said.
Teng Xun is now investing in Dianping with his left hand. He has micro-shadow on his right hand, and he can still see fiber optics.
So Mr. Teng Xun Liu is awesome! In October this year, Meibo and Dianping merged, and Teng Xun’s voice in Meiji was greatly increased. In December, Weiying’s marriage with Guevara greatly increased its power.
Fiber optics is actually very powerful. Zhang Yang remembers that after Ahri took a stake in fiber optics, Taopiaopiao's market share once ranked first in the country.
Later, with the help of Teng Xun, Fiber Optic first acquired Maoyan in 16, and then in 17 Teng Xun merged Maoyan with Weiying Times, which suddenly made Maoyan the number one in the online ticketing industry.
Why does Maoyan sell to fiber optics instead of other companies? It’s not because it discovered that fiber optics is great.
Zhang Yang discovered something interesting at this time. Ahli's investment seemed to have left the market with a loss.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yang couldn't help but said meaningfully: "What's so great about cooperation? Can he still pose a threat to your control of the company? Besides, the Internet company is not theirs."
Wang Changtian's eyes lit up and he said to Zhang Yang, "You want to help me introduce Teng Xun?"
If Teng Xun came in by himself, Wang Changtian was still a little hesitant, but if Zhang Yang brought Teng Xun in, he would be relieved!
Teng Xun still had to take Zhang Yang's face into consideration.
"Old Wang, you have to have confidence in yourself. Offline ticketing has only been determining the outcome for the past two years. You have to get Teng Xun to contact you. Only then can you show your identity as the distribution king in the film and television industry." Zhang Yang encouraged him.
"I can see that you are very capable in several aspects!" Wang Changtian said with a smile, thinking at the same time that from ancient times to the present, there is only peace that can be fought, not peace that can be sought.
As long as I show my company's strength in the distribution field, Internet companies are still rushing to be my friend.
Just like in the movie field now, everyone is rushing to send money to Zhang Yang.
I, Wang Changtian, am only fifty years old, and I can still work hard for another ten years.
"Isn't it interesting to be surrounded by thousands of flowers without even a single leaf touching you? You can't make enough money anyway." Zhang Yang laughed and took a sip of tea.
