Chapter 1168 Probing(1/2)
In the National Theater.
Zhao Jianfeng seemed to sense the flash of confusion in Yang Ming's eyes. He followed his eyes and looked behind him, then a smile appeared on his face and said: "This is Director Haitian, Mr. He's Victory Pictures."
Director Hai is responsible for this racing movie!"
Hearing the name Haitian, Yang Ming immediately understood and nodded secretly, it turned out to be this guy.
No wonder it sounds so familiar.
But he didn't take the initiative to say hello to Director Haitian. The other party had shown obvious hostility just now, and he didn't have the inclination to take the initiative to approach him.
"Hello, Mr. Zhao!" Yang Ming shook hands with Zhao Jianfeng calmly.
Although he didn't know the background of Zhao Jianfeng, from the moment he walked among He Xinghan, Xiao Bufan, Hai Tian and others, he was like stars over the moon, so it was obvious that his status was not low!
"Mr. Yang, is it convenient for you tonight? Let's have dinner together if you have time. I have admired you for a long time." Zhao Jianfeng suddenly made a suggestion to Yang Ming.
When Yang Ming heard this, he glanced at Zhao Jianfeng, then showed an apologetic look on his face and said, "I'm sorry, I may have to leave immediately after the Golden Dragon Award. I already have an appointment tonight."
He didn't know Zhao Jianfeng's intention of inviting him, and he didn't want to know that the people who were with He Xinghan and Xiao Bufan were either rich or noble, and were definitely not ordinary people. The invitation to him must have an obvious purpose.
As for whether this purpose is good or bad, Yang Ming probably doesn't think it will be good at all.
Hearing Yang Ming's rejection, Zhao Jianfeng took a deep look at Yang Ming, and then showed an elegant smile. He did not show any abnormality because of the rejection, as if nothing happened, and continued with a friendly smile: "Okay, then look back.
Let’s make an appointment again.”
"No problem!" Yang Ming also replied with due etiquette.
The people behind Zhao Jianfeng all had disdainful and hostile looks on their faces. Naturally, Yang Ming would not take the initiative to talk to these guys.
Besides, with his current status in the entertainment industry, he is enough to ignore most people.
Just when Yang Ming was holding Su Su's hand and preparing to leave, Zhao Jianfeng suddenly said: "Mr. Yang, does Maoyan Film still accept capital investment? If allowed, our Dingtian Group is willing to acquire 20% of Maoyan Film at three times the market value.
shares.”
The words spoken with a smile are like sharp arrows filled with poisonous stings, making people shudder from the bottom of their hearts.
Yang Ming stopped when he heard this, looked at Zhao Jianfeng, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "Maoyan movie, the other party is here for this, it's not easy!"
Once sold, the price is tripled, involving billions of funds.
Most people really don't have the courage to say this.
Zhao Jianfeng didn't seem to feel anything strange because of Yang Ming's direct gaze. He still had a friendly smile on his face, as if he and Yang Ming were as close as good friends for many years.
A knife hidden in a smile is not an ordinary person! - Yang Ming thought to himself when he saw the other party like this. Thinking of this, he smiled confidently, looked into Zhao Jianfeng's eyes and said: "Mr. Zhao, every shareholder of Maoyan Films has a unique position in the film industry.
Status, now that the distribution plan has been completed, no new capital will be introduced in the short term!"
"Oh? That's such a pity." Zhao Jianfeng shook his head and pretended to be distressed, as if he had missed out on beautiful things.
After saying this, Yang Ming smiled faintly at the other party, nodded, and then turned around and left with Su Su.
"Who? Just got lucky!" He Xinghan looked at Yang Ming's leaving figure and said with an unhappy sigh.
He was full of anger towards Yang Ming. He had been severely slapped in the face by Yang Ming before, and he was a mute eating coptis. He couldn't express his pain, so he naturally didn't want to see Yang Ming.
"Nouveau riche!" Xiao Bufan also snorted coldly. His reputation in the entertainment industry is now ruined, and it all started because of Yang Ming.
Especially when his movie tried to compete with Yang Ming's "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" at the box office, it became the biggest laughing stock in the entertainment industry last year. The two were not on the same level at all, and his face was swollen. He was so good to Yang Ming.
What a weird attitude.
Hai Tian, who was standing next to He Xinghan and Xiao Bufan, opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything.
Although he looked down on this talented director who was rising like a meteor in his heart, with Yang Ming's status today, he had no right to comment on the other person's achievements.
Zhao Jianfeng looked at Yang Ming's leaving figure. After a moment, he looked away. Hearing the words of the two people behind him, he shook his head and said seriously:
"Don't underestimate this guy. If he is really that superficial, it is impossible for him to build an industry worth tens of billions from scratch in just five years!"
He Xinghan and Xiao Bufan were stunned when they heard Zhao Jianfeng's recognition of Yang Ming's achievements, and both felt a little unnatural.
Zhao Jianfeng seemed not to notice the strange look on their faces and said: "If you want to defeat someone, you must first let go of your pride and respect your opponent from the bottom of your heart!"
After saying this, he didn't care about the embarrassment on the faces of the two people behind him. Instead, he looked at Yang Ming's retreating figure and muttered to himself with a playful smile: "It seems that I really came to Yanjing at the right time.
I hope you won’t surrender so quickly!”
It's still some time before the official start of the Golden Dragon Awards. All the celebrities, entertainers, celebrities, and acquaintances who have arrived are chatting with each other and taking this opportunity to communicate.
When Yang Ming and Su Su were going to their seats, many people along the way took the initiative to say hello and say a few words after seeing Yang Ming.
Yang Ming responded to everyone who greeted him with a smile. He was neither humble nor arrogant, and he was relaxed and relaxed. Seeing everyone paying attention to him, they couldn't help but nod. Although this person is a little younger, he is really like the industry leader.
As I said, you must not look at this evildoer through the eyes of his peers.
Not only does he have a maturity that belies his age, but he also has that deep-rooted confidence that makes people feel that Yang Ming has a unique temperament that convinces others.
All the people from Oriental DreamWorks who came to participate in the Golden Dragon Awards were in the same area.
Yang Ming and Su Su soon saw Liu Xinsheng, Sister Zhu, artists from several companies, and others.
Just as Yang Ming sat down, Lu Enzhong came over and asked, "Why did your kid get involved with the Zhao family?"
The area where Tianxia Pictures is located is not far from Oriental DreamWorks.
He turned around and saw that it was Lu Enzhong. When he heard the other party's words, he immediately thought of Zhao Jianfeng, whom he had just met, and said, "Are you talking about Zhao Jianfeng?"
"Well, not bad!" Lu Enzhong and Liu Xinsheng nodded in greeting and sat down next to Yang Ming. At this time, Su Su was not sitting next to Yang Ming, but was pulled over by her classmate Xu Xiaoxi to chat.
Xu Xiaoxi didn't have any nominations tonight, but that didn't stop her from coming over. A movie she starred in last year was nominated for Best Picture, so she came over to support it at Sister Zhu's suggestion.
Anyway, I can still take advantage of tonight’s grand ceremony to gain exposure and gain popularity.
"Do you know him?" Yang Ming turned around and asked curiously.
Lu Enzhong heard this and said: "I've met him a few times, but I'm not familiar with him. This guy's background is even worse than Xiao Bufan's. You have to be careful!"
At this point, he seemed to have made some kind of difficult decision. He raised his head and glanced around. Seeing that no one was listening to his words, he whispered: "This Zhao Jianfeng is the first heir of the Zhao family in Guangdong. The Zhao family is definitely the first in the country."
The top ten wealthiest families have extremely strong capital. This guy may not look smiling, but his behavior in the business world is extremely ruthless. You have to be careful. When he greets you, he probably has an eye on your property, so be careful!
"
When Yang Ming heard Lu Enzhong's words, he looked thoughtful. He really didn't expect that the Zhao Jianfeng he just met had such a big background.
His eyes narrowed slightly, Guangzhou, the Zhao family, it seems that he will call his uncle later to inquire about the news.
"He just asked me if Maoyan Films would accept capital injection, three times the price!" Yang Ming said lightly.
Hearing Yang Ming's words, Lu Enzhong was shocked, and then his thoughts were confused, his heart was beating rapidly, and he asked in a low voice: "Have you agreed?"
Yang Ming glanced at Lu Enzhong, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Maoyan Films will never accept capital injections just for money. Besides, do you think I am short of money?"
Although he spoke softly, his words were filled with unparalleled confidence and pride, which made Lu Enzhong feel that the young man next to him seemed like an independent tycoon in the business world, swallowing up thousands of miles and not taking Zhao Jianfeng seriously at all.
After hearing these words, Lu Enzhong immediately understood that Yang Ming could not accept Zhao Jianfeng's capital injection, and at the same time, he secretly felt heartbroken for this monster who was much younger than himself.
Thinking about it, maybe Yang Ming's wealth is far different from that of the Zhao family, and is not on the same level, but this self-made man can create such an amazing industry, which is obviously beyond the reach of ordinary people, and he certainly does not take Zhao Jianfeng seriously.
Lu Enzhong thought for a while and sighed: "Fortunately, originally we thought your conditions were too harsh, but now it seems like a good thing!"
Yang Ming also nodded after hearing this.
This time, Maoyan Films accepted capital injection and included several new shareholders, not because of how much capital Maoyan Films really needs for its own operations, but to allow Maoyan Films to capture more market share and have greater influence.
These new shareholders are all the same as Lu Enzhong's Tianxia Pictures. They are all established film companies in the film industry and have deep connections. It can be said that as long as all the shareholders of Maoyan Films unite, as long as they are from the film industry, no one can even think about it.
Shake the foundation of Maoyan movies.
Oriental DreamWorks, China Brothers Media, Polaroid, Royal Entertainment, Tianxia Pictures, etc. The combined strength of all shareholders of Maoyan Films is too strong.
However, when Yang Ming released his shares and signed the contract, he set very harsh conditions.
The main thing is to prevent the diluted shares from being transferred or traded within the specified period. Even if he, the major shareholder, has priority in the transaction, the contract even stipulates that if the parent company is acquired, the shares of Maoyan Films in his hands will be based on the current price.
The price of market value was once again recovered by Yang Ming.
It can be said that Yang Ming made this contract quite strict.
Extremely complicated.
There was no other way, Yang Ming was not afraid of anything else, but he was afraid that when business capital invaded the film industry, it would use various forms to erode the film industry, so he had to make such a contract.
Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.
Now it seems that what he thought at that time was still right.
Even though Lu Enzhong and Yang Ming have a good relationship, they signed the same contract.
In fact, for these film companies, the main reason why they invest in Maoyan Films is for their own influence and do not want their voice in the circle to be weakened.
As long as they can hold a certain share of Maoyan Films, they will feel at ease.
They never thought about reselling the shares of Maoyan Films, so when they signed the contract, although they were entangled in these stringent conditions, they were not entangled deeply.
Lu Enzhong chatted with Yang Ming for a few words, then left and returned to the Tianxia Pictures area.
The Golden Dragon Awards are about to begin, and the entertainment festival is about to open.
At this time, various countries in East Asia were broadcasting the Golden Dragon Awards ceremony live. Countless viewers were watching the movie screen intently. Whenever they saw their idols appearing in the camera, they could not help but scream.
To be continued...
