Chapter 1080 The casino that comes at your fingertips(1/2)
Zhou Buqi sat with Jieyu Media all afternoon.
A complete blueprint for the entertainment industry was built for Xu Baihui, mainly in terms of movies. Movies are the leader in the entertainment industry.
Abroad, people are taking advantage of the financial crisis to snap up investments in Hollywood blockbusters.
The time is not yet ripe.
As the economy goes down, there are indeed some people who do not want to invest in Hollywood movies and want to withdraw their investment and sell their movie shares.
However, these platter funds have no strength.
Lack of strength means that they cannot grab excellent film resources, such as the commercial blockbusters that Warner, Disney, and Universal are focusing on developing.
Still have to wait.
The movie platters that are leaking out now are not of high quality.
When the world-class investment bank Lehman Brothers went bankrupt in September, it would be a real worldwide financial collapse. Everyone was dumbfounded, including most capitalists, who were on the verge of crying for fear of losing everything. Even if they lost money.
Even if the investment is 70% to 80%, the investment must be recovered!
At that time, movie investment projects will be spread out in large numbers.
For example, Disney's "Alice in Wonderland" is a masterpiece.
But there was no capital in the market to dare to take over the offer.
Many projects were aborted due to this.
A major commercial project like "Alice in Wonderland" has the box office appeal of great director Tim Burton, so Disney can only do it on its own!
If Jieyu Media can raise a sum of funds and participate...that would be awesome!
"Alice in Wonderland" is a live-action cartoon, so the color of the skin is not that important. A domestic actress can be promoted.
By then, it will be difficult for Jieyu Media to become popular.
And this is just abroad.
In the domestic market, Zhou Buqi also set the tone.
Why is Huayi so powerful?
Director Feng is a very important reason.
For a director of this level, his existence is an aura.
Jieyu Media also has opportunities.
The two will soon have conflicts.
Lao Mouzi has no money, so it is very suitable to extend an olive branch.
There is also director Chen Da. He is currently backed by China Film Group Corporation and is very high-spirited. However, this year's "Mei Lanfang" was a literary film and the box office was not satisfactory. In addition, "Red Cliff" was a hit, China Film Group Corporation has
With my new love Wu Yusen, I can abandon Director Chen.
Jieyu Media can also take it over.
Along this line of thinking, Xu Baihui mentioned another person - Director Jiang Wen.
This guy is currently planning a new movie. It’s unclear exactly what it will be, but there is news in the industry that it is controlled by Emperor Entertainment.
Zhou Buqi immediately thought of "Let the Bullets Fly".
He said that he could gather at a table over the weekend and discuss with Huayi and Chengtian to see if we could work together to bring him back. Mainland filmmakers should still support the development of the entertainment industry in the Mainland.
It would be best if Jieyu Media takes control and Xu Baihui becomes the producer.
On weekends, there is a dinner party in the evening.
At noon, I received a call from a friend. It was Wang Shi from Vanke.
"You came to the capital?"
"Well, I have some personal matters, are you free?"
"Where are you? I'll be there right away!"
“Wangfu Hotel.”
"Wait for me for 15 minutes!"
Zhou Buqi has met many business tycoons in the industry. To say that there are two people he admires more, one is Zhang Chaoyang and the other is Wang Shi.
The main reason is that these two people live too unrestrained lives.
Especially Wang Shi.
As the chairman of Vanke, he is away from the company all year round. Not only does he travel everywhere, but this time he is going to study abroad again. It is not the kind of gold-plated degree that is mixed with academic qualifications, but real learning to re-experience the pure atmosphere of the campus.
.
And the most important point is that this guy founded Vanke, but he doesn’t have any shares in it.
Went to Wangfu Hotel and sat down in the cafe on the first floor.
Zhou Buqi couldn't help but ask, "How many shares did you hold in Vanke?"
Wang Shi acted very calmly, "About 40%."
"Why were they all sent away?"
"hehe."
Wang Shi smiled and said nothing.
Zhou Buqi asked: "Tell me about it?"
Wang Shi pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Three reasons. First, lack of confidence. Second, confidence. Third, lack of confidence."
"What?"
Zhou Buqi looked speechless.
Wang Shi smiled and said: "It's true, I'm not kidding you. The first point is lack of confidence... There is nothing to avoid. The market situation at that time was very unclear. With such a large amount of wealth in my hands, I am very worried about my personal
There are safety issues and I’m not confident that I can protect myself well.”
Zhou Buqi nodded, "Well, what next?"
Wang Shi said calmly: "The second point is confidence. I have the confidence to control the company through my ability. Even if I don't have shares. Even if I don't hold shares, Vanke is my company."
"What about third?"
"When you have a huge amount of wealth, you don't know if you will use it properly. If you are managing the company's wealth, it doesn't matter how big the amount is. You will not do whatever you want. If it is personal wealth, what will happen if you can't guarantee it?
.This may be due to lack of confidence in personal determination.”
"Isn't that true? You are quite determined."
Zhou Buqi said half-jokingly.
Wang Shi blushed and couldn't help coughing lightly, "I came to you this time because I wanted to ask you for a small favor."
"Okay, what's the matter?"
"Well...this..."
"If you have something to say, just tell me. You're welcome."
Zhou Buqi is a little surprised. Boss Wang is such a straightforward person, why is he still stumbling?
Wang Shi lowered his head and took a few sips of coffee before saying slowly: "Well, I met a friend. She is a young actress and not very famous. I heard that you have a film company?"
"Ah? Oh! Yes, yes!"
If he hadn't taken the other party's face into consideration, Zhou Buqi would have almost laughed.
Lao Wang, Lao Wang, I just praised you for your concentration!
Wang Shi was a little embarrassed. Fortunately, he was familiar with Zhou Buqi, otherwise it would be difficult to talk about this kind of thing. He lowered his voice and said, "She is a major. She has acted in several movies and TV series, and she is a minor character."
Zhou Buqi frowned, "If your acting skills are not good and you are praised forcibly, you will be easily criticized. Even if you are praised, you will be troubled."
Wang Shi said: "She is upstairs. How about I let her come down and you talk to her?"
"Well……"
Zhou Buqi twitched the corner of his mouth and took another closer look.
Ho!
Why do you feel that Lao Wang is so energetic today!
He really gets stronger with age.
I went downstairs to introduce myself, and it turned out to be the legendary Miss Tian.
That's it.
As long as he's not some messy little star, that's fine.
Miss Tian will be Lao Wang's second wife in the future. Being able to capture such a man is enough to show that she is excellent enough in her own right, and it is not just about her appearance that makes her rise to the top.
To be continued...
