Chapter Eighty-Six: Return to Hong Kong City

After the company's annual meeting, Dong Chuan went back to his hometown directly, while Tang Hao stayed in the capital and waited for his parents to return to Shanghai together. Zheng Yan boarded the flight to Hong Kong City alone.

The main purpose of Zheng Yan's trip is to take advantage of the situation. Zheng Yan understands in his heart that in today's mainland, whether it is government officials or businessmen, they all look up to the big families in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. And the big family of the port city is looking forward to establishing a good relationship with the mainland, after all, the return of the port city is already a sure thing. Zheng Yan just wants to use this psychology of the two parties to create an illusion that he is very energetic on both sides, so as to facilitate the implementation of some of his ideas in the future.

"Zheng Yan, what about this!"

As soon as Zheng Yan came out of the airport, he heard Li Yanran's shout, and when he looked for the sound, Li Yanran and Aso Miyuki were standing on the side of the road waiting.

"Zheng Jun, as far as I know, it's about to be the Spring Festival, the most important festival for you Chinese, right? Is there anything important that deserves you to come to the port city at this time?" asked Miyuki Aso, who was driving, strangely.

"Yes, Zheng Yan, why did you come here suddenly? I still want to take the time to go to the mainland to play with you. Li Yanran was also puzzled.

"The main purpose of coming here this time is to meet Uncle Li, and I want to ask him for help with something. Zheng Yan said to Li Yanran.

"See my dad, what can he do for you? But it's okay, you tell me first, and when the time comes, I'll go and tell my dad, and he'll definitely agree." ”

Li Yanran heard that Zheng Yan needed her father's help with something, and immediately took the matter to herself. From childhood to adulthood, as long as I put forward my own request, there are few rejections. And this opportunity to deepen her relationship with Zheng Yan, Li Yanran didn't want to let go.

"I'm not in a hurry first, I'm here, so I'm not in a hurry to go back. Uncle Li, I'm going to visit Uncle Li too, and it's more sincere to ask for help or to say it myself. Miyuki, how is the filming situation now?" Zheng Yan did not rush to meet Li Yanran's father, but first turned the topic to the matter of the entertainment company.

"Zheng Jun, the filming went quite smoothly, but because you have already booked some candidates for the director and actors, in order to coordinate the time of these personnel, the preliminary preparation took a little more time, otherwise it would be impossible to say that the filming has been completed now. And in order to ensure the use of the actors you mentioned as much as possible, our shooting cost is also about 10% higher than normal. ”

For the extra 10% shooting cost, Zheng Yan didn't pay attention to it. If it is a venture capital, of course, it is necessary to save as much as possible. But knowing that the profit is as high as tens of millions of investments, who cares about the additional costs of hundreds of thousands?

"None of this is a problem, it's just that I want to know, can this movie be released this holiday?" asked Zheng Yan to Miyuki Aso.

Everyone knows that the best screening time for movies is the summer file and the Spring Festival file. Zheng Yan took out "The Saint of Gambling", the most important thing is to make the company famous, so he naturally hopes to choose a good time period to release it. If you miss this opportunity, you can only complete when it will be released, and if you want to wait until the summer file, Zheng Yan will not have the patience.

"Zheng Jun, I'm afraid this is a bit difficult, in terms of filming and post-production of the movie, we can speed up the progress ourselves, but in terms of theaters, it is not so easy to coordinate. At this time, the theater chain, major film companies are scrambling, our company has just been established, and this movie "Gambling Saint" is also our company's first movie, which really has no advantage. ”

Zheng Yan is right to think about it himself, the theater chain also depends on the box office of the movie. No matter how high the share ratio you give, if there is no box office, it is still empty talk. For theaters, a movie made by a new company is compared to a movie made by an established company, as long as you are not a fool, you know how to choose.

"Miyuki, you can help me contact Zhou Xingchi and Director Yuan Kui first, I want to take a look at the sample film first. Zheng Yan said to Miyuki Aso.

Zheng Yan is not without a way to deal with the situation of competing for theaters, at least there is no problem in scheduling some films, but I still want to watch the samples first.

Although Zheng Yan is very confident in this movie, and he is also very relieved about the acting skills of Zhou Xingchi, Wu Mengda, Zhang Min and Wu Junru, but after all, it was more than a year in advance. In other words, these people's acting skills have been lacking more than a year of training. Now is the time when the output of Hong Kong City movies is at its highest, and one year is enough for one person to star in five or six movies, so the difference is still very big.

Zheng Yan thought that if the sample film could meet his expectations, he would not mind signing a sharing clause with the theater chain that had never appeared before. If it is too different from what he expected, although he has already spent a huge cost, he would rather spend money on a remake than prepare to release the film. In Zheng Yan's opinion, a loss of several million is nothing, and it can be earned back at any time. But once the company's reputation is ruined, it's all over.

Aso Miyuki left after sending Zheng Yan to the villa, Li Yanran's villa, since the reception banquet for Zheng Yan, seems to have become Zheng Yan's residence in Hong Kong City, last time he was here to recuperate, this time he still lives here, there is no discomfort at all.

"Zheng Yan, what do you want my dad to do for you? After Li Yanran saw Aso Miyuki leave, she pestered Zheng Yan again and said angrily.

Speaking of which, Li Yanran is a bit similar to Tang Hao in some aspects, and she can't hide things in her heart. After knowing that the purpose of Zheng Yan's trip was related to his father, it would be strange if Li Yanran didn't ask for clarification.

"Actually, it's not a big deal, I opened a private club with my third brother in the capital, and I came here this time to invite Uncle Li to our opening ceremony next year. "What Zheng Yan said is true, it's just not as simple as he said.

Zheng Yan has always had a question in her heart, that is, the situation at Li Yanran's family. I have long known that the Li family is not an obscure small family, but I have never figured out the origin. Zheng Yan also wanted to take this opportunity to explore the Li family.

"That's it? Do you need to make a special trip? Why don't you just give me a call? Anyway, I'm going to go to the capital to play with you in the next year, and let my dad accompany me." Li Yanran said with a little disappointment.

Originally, Li Yanran thought it was a big deal, so she just took the opportunity to pull in the relationship between Zheng Yan and her family. But when Zheng Yan said her purpose, Li Yanran completely lost interest. Because Li Yanran knew that she didn't need help, as long as Zheng Yan spoke, her father would definitely agree.
