Chapter 711 Content is King
The next morning, Zhang Yang went to the studio and asked his assistant about today's premiere.

Zhang Yang was only interested in one thing he said.

"Come here, Mr. Zeng Mao? Where is that Gao Qun Yao?" Zhang Yang asked doubtfully.

When Ye Ning resigned in February, there were wild rumors that his successor was Gao Qunyao, who was airborne from Wanda.

And it was because Lao Wang asked Ye Ning to report to Gao Qunyao that he was very dissatisfied and resigned.

"He is still in charge of Wanda's overseas business. And..." The assistant looked a little weird when he said this: "The person who came here on behalf of Hua Yi is Ye Ning."

"Interesting, really interesting." Zhang Yang said with a smile. I don’t know what it will be like for the two of them to meet again.

"It is said that Ye Ning and Hua Yi got together because of their cooperation in "The Secret of the Dragon", and also because Mr. Wang was not satisfied with Mr. Wang's film and television performance." The assistant explained.

Zhang Yang nodded, today's meeting was lively.

At 17: in the afternoon, Zhang Yang was driven to Nortel by his assistant. After arriving, he greeted the junior students on the way and entered the auditorium.

When he walked to the front row and took his seat, he saw Wang Changtian, Fatty Yu and Mr. Tan all arriving.

When Wang Changtian saw Zhang Yang, he smiled and said, "Zhang Yang, it's the premiere today, why don't you go to Minnan Investment Company in your spare time?"

"It's just a casual investment, it's not a big deal." Zhang Yang said nonchalantly.

"You came very early today!" Mr. Tan said to Zhang Yang.

At this time, Zhang Hanyu, Liu Tao, Zu Feng and others came over to say hello and interrupted their chat.

Everyone exchanged pleasantries and returned to their seats.

Not long after Zeng Maojun arrived, he started chatting with everyone. When he arrived at Zhang Yang's place, he said politely: "Director Zhang, if you have any questions in Wanda Ying this time, please tell me directly. We will solve them as quickly as possible." You solved it."

"Mr. Zeng, why don't you talk to me? It's probably more useful if he talks to Young Master Wang." Fatty Yu said with a smile.

"Mr. Yu's analysis is very interesting!" Wang Changtian nodded aside, looking in agreement.

Mr. Tan next to him also nodded silently. Zeng Maojun looked at these people and said calmly: "They are all the same, they are all the same."

While they were talking, Ye Ning also arrived. When he arrived, he first greeted Zeng Maojun and said, "Mr. Zeng."

"Mr. Ye, we meet again." Zeng Maojun said with a complicated expression.

Ye Ning left Wanda in mid-February and went to Huayi half a month later.

In Wanda, he did not have such great power, but he could not find a suitable successor for a long time, so he could only shoulder all the burdens left by Ye Ning.

Wanda KPL is supreme, it is still the real estate business, and his life is not easy.

After Ye Ning said hello to him, she started chatting with others, which disappointed Zhang Yang and others who wanted to watch the fun.

Soon the time came to 18 o'clock. The leading actors went up to speak and then performed some talents, and then the movie officially started playing.

There was nothing to talk about in the whole movie. It was the bursts of exclamations from the audience that let the producers in the front row know that the special effects money given to Teng Xun this time was not in vain.

After the screening ended, Zhang Yang and the main creators went up to speak. After the speech, it was quickly followed by the media Q&A session.

Wangyi Entertainment: Director Zhang Yang, what are your expectations for the box office of "Sky Rescue".

Zhang Yang took the microphone and said calmly: I hope he can surpass "Extreme Escape"!

The media were speechless when they looked at Zhang Yang. How could this lineup surpass "Extreme Escape"? They were bragging a little too much!
Several leading actors were also said to be a little stressed by Zhang Yang.

Fengxing Entertainment: Director Zhang Yang, how are you preparing for your new movie "The Meg"?

Zhang Yang: Everything is progressing in an orderly manner.

Fengxing Entertainment: Will Liu Yifei be the leading actor this time?

Zhang Yang: You will know when the time comes. And don’t just ask me, I won’t answer any more questions today.

Zhang Yang saw them staring at him and asking questions and immediately expressed his stance.

After several leading actors answered the questions one after another, today's premiere was over.

Ye Ning and Zeng Maojun came late but left early. Both of them are currently under a lot of pressure.

"Zhang Yang, do you want to get together?" Fatty Yu suggested after the two of them left.

"No, today I..." Zhang Yang was about to find an excuse to deal with them.

Wang Changtian proposed again: "Let's discuss matters within the industry today and not mention anything else."

He knew what Zhang Yang meant, wasn't he just afraid that they would talk about the movie? He just got a vaccination.

"Okay, let's discuss things in the industry." Fatty Yu agreed simply after hearing Wang Changtian's words.

Mr. Tan said, "You guys can talk, I'll go back first." After he finished speaking, he walked towards his car.

Zhang Yang and the others looked at his back and shook their heads.

"Ignore him, just tell me what you want to eat this time and I'll treat you." Wang Changtian said.

"How can you treat me if I invite you first? I'll treat you." Fatty Yu also rushed to say.

"You just need to be more proactive in sending red envelopes to actors this time." Zhang Yang said to them in a joking tone.

"Which time was it not us?" Wang Changtian said angrily.

"I invite you to settle the store in Huaiyang Mansion." After Zhang Yang finished speaking, he walked to his Mercedes-Benz S600.

"You just choose one close to your home and don't take care of us." Fatty Yu complained as he walked.

"That's right." Wang Changtian reached an agreement with him. In less than twenty minutes, the three of them arrived at the place and entered the private room directly.

The three assistants were placed next door.

"The decoration of Huaiyang Mansion does have a Jiangnan flavor." Wang Changtian looked around in the private room and said.

"There are many quaint places in the capital, but in terms of Jiangnan charm, this store is very disciplined in terms of decoration and dishes." Zhang Yang agreed with Wang Changtian's words.

"We are having a state banquet today, so we have to taste it." Fatty Yu sat down at the table and said with a smile.

"You have to lose weight, or you will suffer the consequences in a few years." Wang Changtian looked at Fatty Yu's figure and said.

Fatty Yu looked at Wang Changtian's figure, and then at Zhang Yang's. He felt a little hurt, but it's not so easy to let go of food and sex.

He suddenly said angrily: "The capital is the capital, but the state banquet is Huaiyang cuisine. It's really unfair."

"You can't say that. It has only been a few years since the capital city was established. Huaiyang cuisine has been developing since Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty dug the Grand Canal. At that time, Yangzhou became an important shipping town and could gather surrounding ingredients.

Then in the Song Dynasty, Ouyang Xiu and Su Shi served as prefects of Yangzhou successively. They brought a group of literati to have banquets there, and injected a rich literati color into Huaiyang cuisine. The dishes are very elegant.

The last time was during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Due to the rise of salt merchants in Yangzhou, their strong economic strength made Huaiyang cuisine more sophisticated and produced many famous dishes that have been passed down to this day. "Zhang Yang explained to him very proudly.

Wang Changtian and Fatty Yu laughed when they heard Zhang Yang's explanation. Soon the dishes came to the table. Zhang Yang invited Wang Changtian: "Come and sit down!"

Wang Changtian, who was looking at a calligraphy and painting, nodded. After the two of them took their seats, the three of them raised their glasses and started today's dinner.

Twenty minutes later, everyone had almost eaten. Wang Changtian asked Zhang Yang for advice: "Zhang Yang, tell us how to behave in the dishes here."

"Try the braised pork and see what it is paired with, mushrooms instead of bamboo shoots, taro, etc. This is about the rules.

Huaiyang cuisine has never been famous for stacking ingredients, but uses a lot of local seasonal fresh food, such as Jiangnan water immortals and wild ducks. "

"Eight Water Immortals?" Fatty Yu was a little curious about this title.

"The Eight Immortals of Jiangnan Water are the edible parts of eight aquatic plants in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, including wild rice, lotus root, and mushroom." Zhang Yang explained.

"Don't they all say it's Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai?"

Zhang Yang waved his hand and said: "There are still differences. Just like this braised pork dish, it is always served with a hundred-page scroll in the Magic City."

After Zhang Yang finished speaking, he pointed to the stewed lion head and said: "This is the only dish he makes. The cabbage instead of green vegetables is used with it, which makes the taste of the soup not pure."

Zhang Yang then talked to them non-stop about the traditions of Huaiyang cuisine.

"Today is really an eye-opener for us. You rich people are very particular about what you eat." Wang Changtian said with a smile.

"It sounds like you are not rich, but I am from a rural background." Zhang Yang defended.

"Can you still do farm work?" Fatty Yu asked playfully.

Zhang Yang was unable to answer his question. When he went to visit the "Red Sorghum" team, he discovered that he was not very good at it.

"Our optical fiber has stopped TV programs. Zhang Yang, why did you acquire a TV production company?" Wang Changtian asked, finally starting today's topic.

"It's not an acquisition but an investment. I don't get involved in the daily management of their company. Besides, your fiber optics also has shares in Xinli," Zhang Yang said.

"Then you arrange for them to go to Hollywood to study, and then they will have a big fight when they come back." Fatty Yu asked doubtfully.

"You will understand their actions when they come back." Zhang Yang said enigmatically.

"Aren't you afraid of Internet companies now?" Zhang Yang asked again.

"There is nothing to be afraid of. I understand clearly that in the cultural industry, content is still king, as long as we can make good content." Fatty Yu said very proudly.

"Celebrities are hard to take care of, and the demands of top stars are getting higher and higher." Wang Changtian shook his head and said.

"Actually, this is a healthy state." Zhang Yang said.

"how to say?"

"Nowadays, top star studios are like beehives. All the beehives together form most of the domestic entertainment industry.
This is actually very similar to the Internet, with one notable feature being decentralization. It is only very unfriendly to traditional central nodes.

Each star can become a central node, or they take turns. "Zhang Yang analyzed.

"That means it's not very friendly to companies like us." Fatty Yu laughed after hearing this.

"According to what you said, it's not very friendly to Internet companies." Wang Changtian heard something else and asked Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang nodded. As soon as the Internet came in, the salaries of celebrities skyrocketed. In the end, he couldn't bear the salary.

"Are you particularly optimistic about new energy? This time, I personally went to discuss Linde Generation's investment." Fatty Yu asked Zhang Yang.

"Invest whatever you want, but you can't just put your money in the bank and earn interest!" Zhang Yang said helplessly.

"Yes, you made so much money from "Extreme Escape" this time." Wang Changtian said sourly.

Fatty Yu nodded in agreement, and this time Zhang Yang ate alone.

"You are the most popular in the film industry, and you have also found a direction." Zhang Yang praised them.

"Zhang Yang, you have research on our company, let's talk about it." Wang Changtian wanted to hear Zhang Yang's praise for them.

"Looking at your Fiber Optic film list, I want to shine in youth films and cartoons. Bo Na is going to stick to the main theme." Zhang Yang said, looking at the two of them.

"They say Huayi wants to be China's Disney. I think your fiber optics is going to be China's Disney." Fatty Yu looked at Wang Changtian and said with a smile.

"It's very early. Let's consider this matter after our optical fiber has lived for 50 years!" Wang Changtian said calmly, but the tone of his words made it known that he had considered this matter.
