Chapter 157 Sorry, I lied
It seems that they have returned to those days in Cannes, Rong Guang and Yuan Quan have gone crazy.
Taking advantage of the Spring Festival holiday, the two of them visited Hong Kong's attractions and took time to go to Macau for two days. They took many photos, tasted a lot of delicious food, and went shopping everywhere. They didn't like gambling very much, so they went to Macau to play.
In the slot machine, Rong Guang lost 100 Hong Kong dollars, but Yuan Quan won more than 1,000? This made a loyal and honest man angry to death.
Time flew by and it was the eighth day of the first lunar month, the day when the contract was officially signed.
Facing the reporters below taking photos, Rong Guang and Zou Wenhuai shook hands warmly and smiled. Then a group photo was taken of all the people.
Boss Zou left the show early. He could now act as he pleased. Rong Guang and Jiahe senior executives were left behind to be interviewed by reporters.
To be honest, this is the first interview Rong Guang has given to a reporter since his rebirth.
At the beginning, the questions were all nonsense, and the answers were also nonsense. After all, this was a press conference held by Jiahe, and the reporters who asked questions had already received red envelopes, so they couldn’t ruin the situation, right?
After much anticipation, it was finally the time for free questions. All the reporters were refreshed. If they hadn't been able to ask free questions, everyone would have almost fallen asleep.
"Mr. Rong, is it true that you and Ms. Chen Huiling are in a sibling relationship?" As soon as it came up, the Hong Kong reporter went straight to the point and asked about the hottest news recently.
"Sorry, this is Jiahe's press conference, not my personal press conference. I will not answer irrelevant questions. Thank you!"
After all, Rong Guang is also very familiar with the paparazzi's peeing. No matter how you answer, you will be smeared more and more. It is better to remain silent and not let the tabloids have any room to make a fuss.
"So Mr. Rong, have you ever chosen a concubine?"
"This question is actually irrelevant. But seeing that everyone is very interested, I will say a few words. The director chooses the heroine, which is a normal work of the crew. You describe him as 'selecting a concubine', which is a violation of the work of the crew.
Disrespectful, especially disrespectful to actresses. And in the "Er Lang Shen" crew, all the actors and staff, including those from Hong Kong, performed very professionally. Thank you! Again, I don't
I will answer unrelated questions again. Thank you!”
Seeing that Rong was showing off, the reporters made eye contact, and then began a "curve attack": "Mr. Rong, for what reason did you choose Jiahe as a strategic partner?"
"Let Jiahe's friends answer this question?"
"Haha. Rong Sheng is so polite..."
Then a lot of business bragging was exchanged, and the reporters who listened were drowsy again. Finally, when it was over, the reporters simply said: "Mr. Rong, I heard that the transaction amount is 200 million Hong Kong dollars. Can you disclose it?
How was it raised?”
It’s no wonder that the media is questioning it. Jiahe’s bragging seems to be a little bigger this time. But they just took out 20 million in cash, and they could actually brag to 200 million?
However, Rong Guang will not care about Jiahe cutting leeks in the Hong Kong stock market: "Friends from this reporter, you can read Jiahe's stock exchange announcement for the specific transaction content. But I guarantee here that the amount of 200 million will definitely not be wrong. We
Xiongbaizhi, like Golden Harvest, is committed to the development of China Entertainment Film and Television, and also has strong funds."
"So where did the money for the naughty paper come from? Is it a legal way?"
"Your question is very rude. Every penny of Xiongbaizhan's money is legal income and can withstand the review of the industrial and commercial tax department."
"Isn't this right? I'm sorry, Rong Sheng. As far as we know, just two years ago, you were a low-level crew member. Your family was an ordinary farmer in the mainland. At that time, you only had 30,000 US dollars.
Lens", and you still owe a lot of debt. Rong Sheng, we have not denied your success here. But your Xiongbaizhi is your private studio, which is 100% owned by you personally. Inside Fat Huhu Film Factory
99% of the investment is from Xiong Baizhi. The current "Er Lang Shen" alone is almost all your personal investment, which is almost 100 million. You have invested in another film in Hollywood. According to Hollywood news, your personal investment
More than 3 million U.S. dollars. Not to mention other investments, it’s 200 million this time? Where does such a large amount of income come from? This money can’t come out of nowhere, right?”
I have to say that there are many financial reporters here today, and they are much better qualified than the paparazzi. Therefore, this question is reasonable and well-founded, and it is also difficult to answer.
Of course, there is also a lot of malice here. Just point your nose and accuse - do you have that much money? If so, then please show the tax bill! You are not evading taxes, are you?
There is no way, as the public enemy of Hong Kong, Rong Guang is treated like this!
Rong Guang smiled slightly: "This journalist friend, maybe you don't know much about the film market. I welcome the supervision of government departments, and I also welcome the supervision of friends from the media."
Anyway, he is a privatized enterprise and does not need to disclose financial statements. Moreover, Rong Guang has always paid special attention to taxation. He will not even do tax avoidance in gray areas, let alone tax evasion.
Otherwise, would Teacher Zhang Wen be hired with a "high salary" at that time? The reason is the recommendation of the tax bureau. Otherwise, are you looking for an accountant in the market? You don't even need one-tenth of the salary. Just because - taxation
Bureau recommended!
Of course, the purpose of being recommended by other people’s tax bureaus is to avoid more taxes. But the purpose of being recommended by Rongguang’s tax bureau is to keep everything clean!
Rong Guang would never admit it. In fact, he was... frightened! Fan Xiaopang and Zheng Jiji were really harmful to people!
"Rong Sheng, I'm sorry, you still haven't answered my question. How do you make so much money?"
"Sorry, is it difficult to make this little money?"
"boom--!"
The press conference suddenly became lively. Everyone smelled the smell of gunpowder, and reporters also liked the smell of gunpowder.
"Okay! Rong Sheng, let me change the question. Now, whether in Hong Kong, Taiwan or the mainland, the box office market is very sluggish. Many directors can't get investment, and many artists can't find a place to start work. How can you make a good profit?
How about hundreds of millions? Forgive me for being presumptuous, this is simply impossible!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Just because you think it's impossible, it doesn't mean that I, Rong Guang, can't do it!" Rong Guang will not be used to those reporters' problems.
"Then can you tell me? You don't know how to brag, right?" There was a burst of laughter from below. Even Yuan Quan next to him turned black with anger.
"Since you insist on telling me, I'm not afraid of offending people." Rong Guang sneered in his heart, "Let's just say that my film "Add a Long Lens" was shot for US$30,000 and had a total global box office of US$145 million, which is almost less than 1.2 billion.
The total box office of all mainland movies back then was just over 500 million. All China Entertainment movies in Hong Kong and Taiwan, even if it was a little more, would be 600 million! I can beat you all by myself, why do I need to talk nonsense? Don’t be unconvinced,
If you have the ability, please come up with your work!”
"Poof!" The reporters below collectively spurted blood.
I have seen arrogant people, but never such arrogant ones! And when it comes to reporters, who in the entertainment industry is not cautious? No one dares to offend them casually. That is, this mainland guy, not only dares to attack the entire Hong Kong circle, but now he also dares to face reporters
Making fun of Hong Kong media?
Especially, that guy from Mainland China is so reasonable and the data he produced is irrefutable? Is that really...?
At this moment, many reporters suddenly discovered that this guy is really awesome. He has created an insurmountable miracle. The strange thing is, why did we collectively ignore it before? If it were a Hong Kong and Taiwan director, he should have praised the gods long ago.
Already?
But some reporters are still furious: "Rong Sheng, do you look down on our Hong Kong movies? Don't deny it, one of your previous works is proof!"
"Haha." Rong Guang said noncommittally.
If you can ask such a question, isn't it because your brain has been kicked by a donkey? If you really despise Hong Kong movies, who would spend real money to buy the copyright of Golden Harvest?
"Rong Sheng, with your attitude, haven't you ever thought of apologizing to the whole Hong Kong?"
"hehe."
Maybe he has lost his mind and apologized to the whole Hong Kong. And if he apologized, wouldn't he publicly admit that he was a map cannon? Rong Guang is not that stupid. Now it's just... freedom of speech!
"Rong Sheng, why did you buy the copyright of Jiahe? Don't you look down on it?"
"Hehe. Sorry, I lied! Hehehe."
