Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 151: Extremely Stupid (Additional Updates Asking for Monthly Tickets and Rewards)

The reason Fang Hong was able to make an appointment with Zeng Maojun is of course because he has the ability to produce, but what Zeng Maojun lacks is the ability to produce.

Another thing is that Fang Hong boasted that he could distribute the movie to others.

This is still somewhat attractive to Wanda at present.

Just because Yutu’s movies have never lost money, it can become Wanda’s production backyard.

Make money from screening and distribution!

With development, the integration of production, distribution and screening will be just around the corner!
It’s just that the current film market is too small, and cinemas still take the lion’s share.

Zeng Maojun is a very powerful figure in the film and television industry. For no other reason, Wanda Cinema Line is currently the largest cinema chain.

In a tea room, antique and filled with smoke from tea, two people sat opposite each other.

Zeng Maojun was dressed in a suit and looked very respectable; Fang Hong was also dressed in a suit and had his hair combed to a shiny slick finish.

Next to the two men, there was a young lady in cheongsam who was making tea in a fancy way. After the tea was ready, she bowed to the two men and left the tea room.

Fang Hong gestured: "Mr. Zeng, please!"

Zeng Maojun picked up the teacup and took a sip: "If you don't look for me, I'm going to look for you. I also want to cooperate with you."

"That's great, then let's talk openly." Fang Hong said.

"Okay!" Zeng Maojun nodded.

The two drank some tea, exchanged pleasantries, and then started talking about business.

“Wanda can invest in Yutu, so that you have the production and we have the cinema, and it will be a win-win cooperation.” Zeng Maojun said frankly.

"Yutu's system structure is not yet mature. It is not appropriate to accept a stake now," Fang Hong said tactfully.

He did not think of allowing capital to intervene in Yutu, which is his basic foundation and the most core thing.

"We won't interfere with your business operations. You can make your own decisions. With the money and our resources, you will develop faster." Zeng Maojun thought this was what he was worried about.

Fang Hong thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Zeng, please listen to my other plan."

Zeng Maojun motioned for him to speak.

"I have created Tu Piaopiao, which is a ticketing platform. All future movies will be released through Tu Piaopiao. If Wanda is interested, it can invest in it and we can do it together. The principle is the same," said Fang Hong.

"Ticketing platform? Is it the kind that specializes in selling movie tickets online?" Zeng Maojun understood it as soon as he heard it.

It’s just because someone is already working on an online ticketing platform. The Gewara online ticketing platform has been established for several years.

It's just that the Internet was not well developed before, and it wasn't mobile Internet, so there wasn't much response.

But after this year, a bunch of ticketing platforms will emerge: Spider, Kou Dianping, Meituan, Maoyan, Taopiaopiao, Mtime, Wepiaoer, QQ Movie Tickets, Tuan800 Movie Tickets, Baidu Nuomi, etc.

The emergence of numerous online ticketing platforms has not only caused a melee, but has also caused audiences to gradually shift their movie-watching habits from offline ticket purchases to online.

There is also an advantage to the melee, which is that everyone tries their best to move the audience online.

"Yes, Internet ticketing is the trend in the future. The future will be the era of mobile Internet, which will change the existing single offline ticket purchasing model." Fang Hongdao.

Zeng Maojun took a sip of tea, lowered his head and thought about it, and it was true that things would develop in that direction in the future.

But that is something that Internet companies play with. They have traffic and online channels, which are simply not something that film and television companies can afford.

There is nothing else to say. The profit margin of film and television companies is too low. The top employees of Huayi only make 100 million or 200 million yuan a year, and they don’t have the traffic channels to play with this amount of money.

Competition in the Internet market requires money, there is no need for all the bells and whistles.

"What stage have you reached at this stage?"

"We have just developed the APP and are already contacting electronics manufacturers to make ticket machines and prepare to roll them out for promotion." Fang Hong said truthfully.

Everyone can tell this kind of thing at a glance, so there is no need to hide it.

"It's still at the initial stage. It won't be too late for us to join in after you've achieved some results." Zeng Maojun was still quite hesitant.

The main thing is that this investment is likely to be wasted, and it is not just a matter of one or two dollars. If you invest in it, it will be a bottomless pit.

"That's fine, but I can always keep a place for Wanda." Fang Hong showed goodwill.

"Sure!" Zeng Maojun didn't care.

It's better to have this thing than not to have it. What if this person succeeds in doing it? Then Wanda can enter the market directly.

Wanda Cinema Line now has the largest number of cinemas in the country, and is at the peak of its financial power.

"It's just that I have a small favor that I would like to ask Mr. Zeng for help." Fang Hong said.

"What little favor?"

“We would like to ask Wanda’s cinemas to open a green channel so that our ticket machines can be installed inside.”

"This"

Zeng Maojun was a little hesitant. He knew what this meant. Once the market was occupied by others, they would be somewhat controlled by others.

People go to online platforms to buy tickets, so they can only attract customers online.

It's very simple. When people open the app, they don't even look at which cinema is nearby. They just buy tickets for whichever cinema is nearby. If they want to meet their girlfriend, they can buy tickets in advance.

If your cinema is not on someone else's APP, you will not be able to attract customers, which is fatal.

"Don't get me wrong, Mr. Zeng. We just want to build cinemas in Beijing and its surrounding areas. Besides, even if we succeed, Wanda will not suffer any loss and can enter the market directly." Fang Hong said again.

This is true. As long as they can make it happen, Wanda will spend money to enter the market. This promise is still acceptable.

“Besides, we don’t charge any service fees, nor do we need Wanda to provide anything. We only take up a little space. Not only can we attract traffic for you for free, but you can also save on labor costs.” Fang Hong said it very nicely.

"That's fine. As long as your promise is valid, this is not a big problem."

Zeng Maojun agreed, and then said: "It's just about your Jade Rabbit."

"Yutu is just a small company, and I'm just trying to make a living, so I don't have much interest in managing it. If you want it, I can give it to you later."

Fang Hongchui said calmly: "I am going to devote myself to the ticketing platform. As long as this is established, all movie tickets will be sold from me in the future. This is the big deal."

Zeng Maojun was stunned by the tone of the young man. The Yutu enterprise was no big deal and was about to be given away.

I want it and I want to give it to him.

"Or you can send it now." But he didn't say this, because he is still relying on this for a living at this stage.

Of course he didn't take it seriously. It was impossible to send it to the company. It was complete nonsense.

But he also heard that this person did not value the Jade Rabbit.

"Mr. Fang is very courageous. You can go directly to the ticket machine. I will say hello to the people below. Don't forget to take a share of the profits when it's done." Zeng Maojun said it didn't matter. It was just a small matter to them, so they let this guy do it first.

"Thank you Mr. Zeng, I will never forget it."

Fang Hong raised his glass and they both toasted.

The largest cinema chain has been settled, and Meng Jun will have to negotiate with the other cinemas one by one. If he can't even handle this little thing, how can he become a big shot and a leader in the future?

While Fang Hong was vigorously developing his career, Liu Tianxian had already appeared on Happy Camp. In addition to the members of Happy Family, there was also Zeng Yike.

On the stage, Liu Tianxian sang "Light Chaser", the theme song of "Love Is Not Blind".

During the singing, Hunan Satellite TV, whether intentionally or not, had the two appear in the same shot and created an ambiguous blue atmosphere.

Zeng Yike's eyes were almost tearing.

After finishing the song, Liu Tianxian bowed and thanked everyone: "Thank you all for supporting my new movie "Bad Genius" on October 10th."

Before the show ended, Teacher He asked, "Is there any story behind this song?"

"There's not much of a story. The principal just took me to the recording studio to record this song." Liu Tianxian said.

"What kind of person is the principal? Can you share it with us?" asked Teacher He.

Everyone else was looking at Liu Tianxian. The principal was too mysterious and rarely showed his face, but his legend was everywhere in the world.

Zeng Yike also looked at him lovingly. He spoke very little on the show.

"He is a very domineering person, but sometimes he can be very cute." Liu Tianxian said with a smile.

It seems like I didn’t say it!

Teacher He turned to Zeng Yike again and said, everyone must be taken care of.

"Yike, when did you and Yifei meet?"

“We met on the set of ‘Love Announcement’,” Zeng Yike said.

Liu Tianxian is quite talkative and active: "We didn't have much interaction at the beginning. It was a year after filming, maybe a year or half a year, that I suddenly received a text message. Can we talk?"

He asked Zeng Yike for his opinion.

"It doesn't matter. The text message said, I miss her." Zeng Yike said quite shyly.

"Ahhh!"

There was constant cheering and a sense of gossip.

It’s okay to talk about the principal just now, but when it comes to Zeng Yike, the audience is very excited, and the principal is not there, so these two people have that feeling.

The main reason was that Liu Tianxian was very active and seemed to have a very good relationship with them. Zeng Yike was not only shy, but also had a gloomy look in his eyes, which anyone with a discerning eye could see clearly.

The scene was not over yet, and the interaction was still going on. Liu Tianxian corrected: "The text message was, I am Keke, this is my number, let's go out and play together when we are free"

"Yike, Yike."

Teacher He quickly corrected him and changed the subject: "Did you think at that time that this person was so slow to warm up?"

"No, I was quite touched at that time." Liu Tianxian said with relief.

The audience roared again, and the gossip became even stronger.

Everyone knows that Zeng Yike once forcefully kissed a girl. She is a lesbian. This is no secret.

If Fang Hong saw this content, his cognition would definitely be overturned. He always thought that Liu Tianxian was very smart.

Looking back now, it’s so stupid!
