In the eyes of the media, Yang Ming is deeply hated, but they also want to hold him in their hands and protect him, for fear of offending this old man.

At the same time, he is also the most unique among all the star artists in the entire entertainment industry.

If you don’t like to be interviewed or have alternative looks, you will always be unconventional.

Regarding this, the media circle loves and hates Yang Ming, but there is nothing they can do about it.

As soon as Yang Ming arrived at the studio, there was a commotion at the door, and the sound of countless flashing lights came in.

Accompanied by the rapid footsteps, many reporters asked eager questions.

"Excuse me Yang Ming..."

"Yang Ming, please..."

"What do you think about...?"

...

The darling of the media.

Shangguan Tian looked at Shangguan Hu helplessly. It must be said that this young man, who has gradually become equal to them in terms of status, is indeed unusual among the giants in this circle. He is not only a star, but also a

A star who steals the limelight.

Before this person came in, all the media reporters had already gathered around him.

Yang Ming answered a few questions casually, and then, under the protection of security and staff, he walked into the lobby, attracting countless eyes.

After walking into the hall and scanning around, he showed a confident smile and walked over when he saw Shangguantian's wave.

"I didn't expect that, President Shangguan, you would actually have time to come over and support me?" Yang Ming said politely with a smile.

Hearing these words, Shangguan Tian smiled faintly, glanced at Yang Ming meaningfully, and then pretended to be helpless and said: "Now I am under too much pressure on the company's board of directors. They say that I have been sold and they are helping people to pay for it!"

"

When Yang Ming saw Shangguan Tian's appearance, he immediately guessed that Shangguan Tian was wondering why he wanted to spend so much money to enter an art theater.

After all, Yiyuan Cinemas was acquired from China Brothers Media.

Regret may be out of the question, but the other party may be really worried about the pearl being dusted and abandoning a gold mine, which would be a very embarrassing thing for them.

His mind was racing, and when he thought of this, Yang Ming suddenly said: "Look what you said, I didn't expect that I would be so lucky to encounter the film "Bitter Water". To be honest, if it weren't for the old dean of our college,

Thinking about it, I had no idea of ​​acquiring the art theater chain at the beginning, so this can be regarded as making a small contribution to our college."

He would definitely not reveal his true thoughts to the Shangguan brothers, but now faced with the other party's doubts, he could not shirk his intention to not talk about it.

After thinking about it, I came up with such an excuse.

As a professional art education institution, Yanjing Film Academy is also a modeling base for the entertainment industry.

Every year, in addition to newly graduated directors who will produce a graduation film, some teachers who are unwilling to be lonely and have itchy hands will also make some film works.

Whether it is a film by a newly graduated director or a film by teachers, the works produced by most people are unlikely to be released in mainstream commercial theaters.

It can only be screened on a small scale through some unknown channels and get a little praise from professionals, which is enough.

Now that Yang Ming has established a niche art theater chain, it is undoubtedly a first-come-first-served basis for the Yanjing Film Institute. Some of the films made by teachers and students that are too pursuing artistic perfection now have good screening channels.

When Shangguantian heard Yang Ming's explanation, he thought about it, nodded slightly, and agreed with Yang Ming's statement.

He also didn't believe that the Yiyuan Cinema Line would turn into a money tree and a cornucopia if it came into Yang Ming's hands. At least in his opinion, it was simply impossible.

Nowadays, the mainstream is commercial films, and the market for art films that are too niche is getting smaller and smaller. The more one pursues art, the less likely it is to be released in commercial theaters and achieve a good box office.

This is the current general trend of the entire film industry, and it cannot be changed by the changes of one or two people.

If Yang Ming's starting point is really for film school, then it is really possible.

It's just that in order to please his alma mater, even if this alma mater has great power in the film industry, the money spent is too much, right?

"It seems that Mr. Yang made a lot of money last year. Are you interested in making a big production together?" Shangguantian asked again calmly, wanting to continue testing Yang Ming.

No matter what, he was still a little skeptical about spending hundreds of millions of dollars to please his alma mater.

Old fox - Yang Ming secretly cursed in his heart. He found that the real giants in the film industry, all those who have a certain degree of strength, are not easy to deal with. The skills of hiding a knife in a smile have already been fully used up, and they have become a life-threatening person.

Innate talent.

"I have no choice. I have too much cash on hand due to last year's box office share and share transfers in other industries, so I will just follow the old dean's wishes and do things better!" Yang Ming shrugged and replied calmly.

Shangguantian couldn't help feeling his teeth sore when he heard Yang Ming's words.

I was greatly stimulated.

But think about it, let alone the two movies that made money globally last year, the transfer of shares of an Internet company alone brought in tens of billions of dollars. Now, if you invest hundreds of millions of dollars to build an art theater chain, you can still

It's really like playing.

In addition to his status in the entertainment industry, this guy also has a status as a genius entrepreneur on the Internet.

The most successful cross-industry player of all time!

Shangguan Tian had no choice but to think that if you use your film industry mentality to deal with him, they will use your Internet identity to slap you in the face, and you will no longer be able to communicate.

He didn't want to discuss this topic anymore. Even if the art theater chain regained its luster in the hands of the other party and turned into a gold mine, he didn't want to pursue anything anymore. Moreover, he didn't believe that a small art theater chain company could smash a

With hundreds of millions of dollars in capital, is it possible that I can become a hen that lays golden eggs?

Yang Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Shangguan Tian change the subject.

He finally avoided the question, not because he was afraid of the other party, but because he didn't want the other party to discover his true intention now.

To be honest, even if Yiyuan Cinemas spends hundreds of millions of dollars to renovate and turn this dilapidated theater into a flower, for the niche audience of art films, Yiyuan Cinemas is destined not to become a mainstream commercial theater.

A company that makes money easily like a line.

It is also impossible to have the profitability of commercial theaters.

But Yang Ming's goal is not to make money at all, but to influence the art theater chain.

The film industry in every country will definitely not have only one type of commercial films, otherwise there would be no disputes over commercial art.

Moreover, with such disputes, it seems that in the film industry of every country, art films may not have more influence than commercial films, but in terms of media and public opinion, art films are better than commercial films.

Not to mention anything else, in terms of various film awards in various countries, as long as the film selection has a certain degree of popularity, the right to speak is basically in the hands of those who support the artistic film viewpoint.

The same is true for the Golden Dragon Awards, Oscars, and Cannes Awards, even the three major film festivals.

Yang Ming spent money to build a professional art theater chain, not because he wanted to win the favor of the major film award judges, but because he wanted to use this to consolidate his identity and status in the film industry.

As long as the art theater chain develops, with his generous support, this professional art theater chain will gradually become a holy place for the exchange and development of local art films.

Under such circumstances, as the boss, Yang Ming will undoubtedly gain the favor of many film professionals.

Not for the sake of money, but also for the sake of the art theater chain, these filmmakers will not be too embarrassed to be too difficult and criticize Yang Ming's film.

This is the same as eating people with short mouths and holding people with short hands.

Yang Ming was chatting and laughing happily with the Shangguan brothers. At this moment, he seemed to be a successful businessman, giving guidance to the country, and his aura was not inferior to Shangguan Tian, ​​who had been famous in the entertainment industry for decades.

But, just now.

Director You Gang also knew that Yang Ming had arrived, so he brought the crew members of "Bitter Water" over to say hello to Yang Ming and thank him for his support.

Without Yang Ming's words, "Bitter Water", a movie that won the Golden Dragon Award for Best Picture, would have been extremely embarrassing.

Not only did it fail to receive good reviews, but after winning the Golden Dragon Award, it gradually disappeared from mainstream commercial theaters. This is undoubtedly a stain on a movie.

But now the support from Art Theater will undoubtedly give "Bitter Water" a chance to change its destiny.

Besides, Yang Ming is now You Gang's boss in a sense, and it is his duty to come and say hello to his boss.

There was no change in Yang Ming's status, only a slight change in attitude.

He was still cordial and polite, without any pretense about his status. He shook hands and said hello to everyone on the "Bitter Water" crew.

"To be honest, you are all seniors in the film industry. I am still young and I have a lot to learn from you."

"Don't be so polite. People who know me well call me by my first name!"

...

Seeing that Yang Ming didn't act as bossy as an ordinary boss, You Gang and all the crew members felt relieved.

"Hey, Director You, are you here? I just looked around and couldn't find you. On behalf of Victory Pictures, I'm here to wish the box office success of "Bitter Water" this time."

At this time, a voice came.

Yang Ming, Shangguan Tian, ​​You Gang and others heard the sound and turned around to see Zhao Jianfeng and He Xinghan walking over.

Zhao Jianfeng was in front, and He Xinghan was walking behind like a follower. Zhao Jianfeng had a sincere look on his face, and it was he who said the congratulations just now.

"Thanks."

No matter what, You Gang thanked him very politely, and then introduced the identity of Zhao Jianfeng to Yang Ming.

"I didn't expect that we would meet again."

As if like a best friend, Zhao Jianfeng shook hands with Yang Ming, and then greeted Guan Tian and Shangguan Hu.

Yang Ming, Shangguan Tian and others also responded politely.
