Huayu: Director started with art films

Chapter 288 299 [Investing in Future Yingx Entertainment, Sorry I drank too much! ]

"Yingx Star City?"

In the study room on the second floor of Cheng Long's house, Li Yishu looked at Mr. Yang in surprise. He originally thought that the other party was looking for him for matters in the film and television industry, but he didn't expect it was a real estate project!

"good."

Mr. Yang nodded and said, "In 1991, I acquired a piece of land in Shanghai Yuyuan. According to the project plan, I was going to build a commercial property with a total area of ​​more than 7 square meters. The reason why it was called Star City was because I invited many friends in the entertainment industry to participate in the investment..."

Yu Garden is a good place. It is located in the northeast of the old town of SH City, backed by Fuyou Road to the north, Anren Street to the east, and adjacent to the Shanghai Old City God Temple to the southwest. It is a classical garden in the south of the Yangtze River. It was built during the Jiajing and Wanli periods of the Ming Dynasty and covers an area of ​​more than 30 acres.

It was listed as a historical monument in 1982. Due to its well-preserved state, it has long been a holiday destination for many Shanghai locals. It also attracts a large number of foreign tourists to Shanghai to visit this Jiangnan garden built in the Ming Dynasty.

It can be imagined that Mr. Yang must have put a lot of thought into acquiring this piece of land in Yu Garden, otherwise such a good place would have been snatched away by someone else long ago. As long as this piece of land is developed into a high-end villa area, the price is expected to skyrocket.

Villas, or luxury homes, generally have two characteristics: one is that they are not replicable, and the other is that they have an excellent geographical environment.

The land of Yu Garden is unique and the environment is excellent!
"Boss Yang, I've introduced so much, I don't know what you mean?"

"I heard that Director Li and Tomson Group have partnered to acquire a piece of commercial land in Pudong, Shanghai. I know Director Li is also involved in the real estate industry, so I wanted to see if I could cooperate with Director Li."

"Boss Yang, this piece of land is so good. I believe there should be many people willing to cooperate with you, right? As for me, forget it. In fact, I am only cooperating with Boss Tang to build an office building. I am not very interested in real estate."

Faced with the olive branch thrown by Mr. Yang, Li Yishu shook his head repeatedly. He didn't want to participate in the Yingx Star City project.

The land in Yu Garden is too good. In addition, with the rapid development of Shanghai, the land price has soared. Mr. Yang has only been working in the mainland for a short time, which resulted in complicated funding and application procedures. It has been three years since the land was acquired, but there has been no way to start construction.

And I'm afraid this project will fail.

Li Yishu just remembered a piece of news she read in her previous life. It seemed that Liu Jialing publicly asked Mr. Yang to return his hard-earned money because the Yingx Star City project had been shelved for many years. It seemed that before Li Yishu was reborn, she had never heard of this famous real estate project.

Guessing that there is a big problem behind this, Li Yishu doesn't want to be used as a gun.

"Well...well, since Director Li is not interested, forget it."

Mr. Yang hesitated to speak, but finally tried to persuade them again. His family knows his own business. He knew very well that the Yingx Star City project must be a good one, but the approval process had not been completed for three years. Anyone with a discerning eye could see the problem.

If you continue talking like this, it won't be cooperation, but enmity.

"Director Li, you may not know that Aaron has a few boxes of good cigars here. He has been hiding them before. This time, we have to smoke a few of them."

President Yang changed the subject and stood up and took out a box of cigars from the cabinet behind the desk. He took it out with a smile and said while toasting, "I know Director Li recently invested in Golden Harvest Film Company. I wonder if you are interested in investing in my film company?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Yishu became interested: "Boss Yang is also interested in the entertainment industry?"

When it comes to real estate, even Big Boss Wang with his amazing background has to pay a fee. Li Yishu is very famous, but to be frank, he is not so famous that people are intimidated.

But the entertainment industry is different. Li Yishu thinks she is good enough in this industry.

"Haha, yes, I have always been interested in the entertainment industry."

Mr. Yang roasted a cigar and handed it over with a smile: "Director Li, would you like one? Authentic Brazilian handmade cigars, one costs six thousand dollars."

"Really? Then I must try it."

Li Yishu used to smoke, but she rarely smokes after her rebirth. She has tried cigars before, but she has never tried one so expensive.

Seeing him exhaling smoke a little unfamiliarly, Mr. Yang asked with a smile: "How is it, Director Li, how does it taste?"

"I don't know much about cigars, but they're pretty strong."

"Haha, a strong cigar is better to smoke."

Mr. Yang smiled and continued the previous topic: "I have a friend named Ye Zhiming. He owes me a sum of money and is now unable to repay the debt, so he wanted to give me the Feitu Entertainment Company he founded..."

"Oh, by the way, Ye Zhiming has a younger sister. Director Li should know her."

"Who?"

"Ye Yuqing!"

It's her!
Countless classics popped up in Li Yishu's mind, such as "The Beautiful Woman" and "I'm Crazy for You"...

"Feitu Entertainment is mainly based on records. It was glorious in the past. However, the competition in Hong Kong's record industry is too fierce now. It is hard for anyone to compete with the Four Heavenly Kings. I am interested in buying Feitu Entertainment, transforming it into film and television, and expanding the scale of the company. It's just that I have never been involved in this industry in the past. I think if Director Li can join, I believe Feitu Entertainment will definitely reach a higher level in the future..."

Mr. Yang said it very frankly. In the past, he worked in the jewelry, luxury watches and bags and even real estate industries. Although he has always been interested in the entertainment industry, he has never been involved in it himself. With his wealth, it would certainly not be a big problem for him to poach talents from the film and television industry. However, there is an important point, that is, the Hong Kong film and television industry not only feeds on celebrities but also directors.

The influence brought by a famous director is enormous. Mr. Yang always wants to make a big splash in the entertainment industry, rather than just making small moves, so he contacted Cheng Long privately, intending to sell part of his shares to the other party in exchange for joining.

The purpose of coming to Li Yishu this time was to invite her to invest in Yingx Entertainment, which was very important to Mr. Yang.

In addition to Li Yishu's international fame, it is mainly because of what Mr. Yang's Feng Shui master Chen Lang said. To put it simply, "Li Yishu is invaluable."

Chen Lang is not a charlatan. He is extremely famous in the Feng Shui circle of Hong Kong.

In 1983, Mr. Yang's company owed a debt of up to 3.2 million Hong Kong dollars. When he was desperate, he met Chen Lang and followed his advice to go to Kuwait in the Middle East to trade foreign exchange. Not only did he get to know a distant relative of the Kuwaiti royal family, but also relied on his company's practical experience in financial investment. In two or three years, he not only recovered the losses, but also earned to million US dollars.

When entering the entertainment industry this time, Mr. Yang also sought guidance from this master.

"Mr. Yang invited me so warmly that I couldn't refuse."

Li Yishu flicked the ash off her cigar and said with a smile, "I just don't know how many shares Mr. Yang is going to give me?"

In a few years, the Hong Kong film market will completely decline, and a large number of filmmakers will move north, and then they will stick together for warmth, forming the so-called Hong Kong circle.

Li Yishu is not from Hong Kong, and given the policies after the return, it is difficult for him to suppress the Hong Kong circle.

But now that Mr. Yang has appeared, Li Yishu has different ideas.

Yingx Entertainment can be said to be the last signboard of Hong Kong's entertainment industry in the future. Li Yishu invested in advance and became one of the bosses. He can use Mr. Yang to suppress those people in the Hong Kong circle.

"Thirty percent!"

Mr. Yang raised three fingers and said, "As long as Director Li is willing, I am willing to give him 30% of the shares, and Director Li doesn't even need to pay for it."

"Since Boss Yang has said so, I will be disrespectful to refuse. But I still have to pay. I don't like to take advantage of others."

Thirty percent of the shares is already a lot, Li Yishu is very satisfied. With Mr. Yang here, Yingx Entertainment, which has not yet been established, cannot be said to be the same as in the previous life, but at least it will definitely not be bad, not to mention his joining.

President Yang was delighted and laughed, "Great! You are so quick to speak. You are indeed a young and promising person. When I was Director Li's age, I was just a nobody." "President Yang is too polite. I have heard of your great name for a long time. You started from scratch and experienced many ups and downs. Now you can create such a big family business. It is not something that ordinary people can do."

Respect is mutual. With flattery and some conflicts of interest, the relationship will naturally become closer.

Even though Li Yishu is now a big director and has some industries under his control, his rise to fame is still too short. He always needs to expand his network. Mr. Yang may not be very successful in the mainland, but he is still quite influential in Hong Kong.

Long Wu from Yongsheng Film has always wanted to cooperate with Li Yishu. In order to avoid being harassed by this family in the future, it is better to choose to cooperate with Mr. Yang as soon as possible. At least this person has no obvious background in organized crime.

In the large living room downstairs, a group of celebrities, directors, and producers in the circle gathered in twos and threes to chat.

"what are you doing!"

Suddenly, an angry roar attracted the attention of the whole audience.

I saw a beautiful woman with delicate features glaring at the short and fat man in front of her.

Mei Yanfang strode over and asked, "What's wrong, Ah Ying?"

"He touched my butt." Lan Jieying glared at him.

Hearing this, Anita Mui shouted, "Zeng Zhiwei, what the hell are you doing?"

"Haha, Amei, that's nothing. I just drank too much and bumped into him accidentally."

Zeng Zhiwei had a playful look on his face and didn't look drunk at all.

When the people around saw this scene, they all showed disdainful expressions. They were all people in the circle, and everyone knew that Zeng Zhiwei, this short and fat guy, had dirty hands and feet, and often took advantage of the excuse of filming to put his hands on others.

He doesn't dare to do that to actresses who are protected by someone, but he really does touch those minor stars or supporting actresses.

"I accidentally bumped into you. Why don't you go home and bump into your mom..."

"Amei, aren't you saying that too harshly? I just drank too much, that's not serious, right?"

"Pu, your mother, don't think I don't know what you are thinking."

"..."

The host Cheng Long also hurried over at this moment and quickly grabbed Mei Yanfang: "Amei, forget it, just give me some face, I'm the host today..."

While several people were arguing and confronting each other, Li Yishu and General Manager Yang came downstairs talking and laughing. As soon as they got downstairs, they saw this scene.

When Li Yishu was confused, she happened to see Zhao Wenzhuo. She called him over to ask him. After learning the whole story, she looked at Lan Jieying in the field with a frown.

Li Yishu still liked this Chun Sanshi Niang very much, but later she suddenly retired from the entertainment industry and disappeared. People thought she got married, but many years later, Hong Kong media revealed that she was mentally ill and she also disclosed that she had been sexually assaulted.

The truth of the matter is no longer known, but considering that Zeng Zhiwei later recorded a video for the online fraud group and was suspected of being involved in it, it can be confirmed that this shorty is not a good person.

Seeing Lan Jieying's angry and helpless look, Li Yishu strode forward and said, "Ms. Lan, long time no see!"

"Hello, Director Li."

Lan Jieying was slightly stunned. She didn't remember meeting Li Yishu.

Li Yishu nodded and asked knowingly, "Ms. Lan, what happened just now?"

"It's okay, Director Li..."

Just as Cheng Long was about to step forward to ease the situation, he noticed Li Yishu staring at him, so he immediately stepped back tactfully.

Cheng Long only collaborated with Zeng Zhiwei on a few films, which was not enough to make him offend a big director and future movie tycoon like Li Yishu.

When the people around saw this scene, they all showed a look of surprise.

Originally, the conflict between Zeng Zhiwei and Lan Jieying could be said to be big or small, but with the presence of Cheng Long as the host, it is likely that the matter will be settled peacefully and nothing will happen, which will provide another topic of conversation in the circle.

But now Li Yishu, a big director from the mainland, has stepped forward. Looking at his posture, it is obvious that he wants to be a hero and save the beauty. Then the following scene will be much more interesting.

"I……"

Lan Jieying hesitated, she didn't know what Li Yishu wanted to do.

Mei Yanfang, who was standing next to him, said, "Director Li, he touched Ah Ying's butt."

"Director Li, I was drunk. I didn't mean to..."

Zeng Zhiwei's face changed slightly and he quickly explained that he was drunk.

"Drank too much?"

Li Yishu chuckled, glanced back, walked straight to the table, picked up an opened bottle of foreign liquor, and walked to Zeng Zhiwei's side.

Seeing this scene, President Yang strode to his side. Although it was unclear whether Li Yishu was attracted by the beauty and wanted to be a hero to save the girl, or for some other reason, now that the two parties were about to start cooperation, it was natural for him to support her to the end.

Zhao Wenzhuo realized it later. When he saw Mei Yanfang winking at him, he immediately came to his senses and quickly came behind Li Yishu.

Friends who had worked with me before, such as Zhang Guorong and Zhang Manyu, also came over.

Starting to take sides?

Seeing this, some people walked to Li Yishu's side, some stood hesitantly in the middle, but no one stood next to Zeng Zhiwei or behind him.

No one is a fool. What era is it now? The short and fat detective father is a thing of the past. It will be 1997 in three years!

Seeing the other party approaching with a bottle of wine, Zeng Zhiwei swallowed his saliva and said, "Director Li, I really drank too much. If I knew Miss Lan... I wouldn't dare to do it even if I had ten guts."

"Well, this guy can't control himself when he's drunk."

Li Yishu nodded, then picked up the bottle of foreign liquor and started drinking it.

As everyone stared in astonishment, Li Yishu, who had drunk most of the foreign wine, felt a little tipsy and said with a smile, "Sorry, I drank too much too."

finished,

He simply swung a bottle of wine and hit the shorty on the head.
