After the negotiation was over, Sir Huo and the others left directly, while Old Man Li and Li Bin stayed.

"Zheng Yan, as far as I know, you currently have more than a billion dollars in your hands, right?"

Because of the tacit relationship between Zheng Yan and the Li family, his understanding of Zheng Yan is far beyond others. Sir Huo and the others were surprised that Zheng Yan was able to come up with a billion US dollars, but Li Lao knew that even if the funds were doubled, Zheng Yan would be able to take them out.

What Li Lao didn't understand was that since Zheng Yan was so sure, why didn't he invest more money.

"Grandpa Li, what you said is right, I still have more than a billion dollars in my hand. The reason why I only invested a billion this time is that, on the one hand, I don't want to be too showy. Nowadays, the background is far from enough, and there is no need to press them in this kind of cooperation. On the other hand, there are other uses for the rest of my money. Originally, I was going to put all of it in the Japanese stock market and take some out when I needed it, but then I thought about it and left it. ”

Zheng Yan originally had no intention of making waves in the Japanese stock market, and the reason why he entered the market this time was because he had to catch ducks on the shelves.

The Gulf War, which shocked the world, will break out in less than a year, and the oil futures market at that time is what Zheng Yan really values.

Compared to the oil futures market after the outbreak of the war, the Japanese stock market has a long period of decline.

Although Li Lao had doubts in his heart, he had no intention of getting to the bottom of it, he believed that as long as there was a good opportunity, Zheng Yan would not forget the Li family.

After the funds entered the Japanese stock market, Zheng Yan knew that he would soon make a lot of money, and then he naturally had to think about how to spend it.

Since there are no good investment projects, Zheng Yan has set his sights on the entertainment industry.

The release of "The Gambler" can only be regarded as catching up with the tail of the Spring Festival, and "Farewell My Concubine" missed the summer file for various reasons. Thinking about the upcoming Spring Festival, Zheng Yan had another idea.

At this time, it is the high-production period of Hong Kong films, and a month is enough time to complete the filming of a movie, of course, Zheng Yan's appetite must be more than that.

After Zheng Yan prepared the script, he directly invited Zhou Xingchi to Longteng Entertainment.

"Brother Xing, long time no see. ”

At this time, Zhou Xingchi was in high spirits, and in the movie circle, he already had the meaning of being comparable to Zhou Runfa, Jackie Chan and other film and television celebrities.

"Zheng Yan, I thought that after you came to Hong Kong City, you would show your skills in the entertainment industry, but I didn't expect that you would leave the company behind and start to be the shopkeeper directly. Why did you suddenly think of me today? Do you have a new shooting plan?"

Although Zhou Xingchi has only cooperated with Zheng Yan twice, in this process, he has always gotten along as friends, so he doesn't care about talking.

"I was a little busy some time ago, and I just took time to spare. However, one thing you are not wrong about is that I do have a new shooting plan, but I don't know if you have a schedule here. ”

Zhou Xingchi was also stunned by Zheng Yan's directness.

"What kind of film? Isn't it still a gambling movie?"

Zheng Yan has been established since Longteng, except for the currently released "Farewell My Concubine", which is a literary film, the other two are gambling films, and it is no wonder that Zhou Xingchi has this reaction.

However, Zhou Xingchi is really not interested in gambling films at present. After all, if you want to maintain long-term development in this circle, it's better to have a wider acting path.

"Not really, it's a comedy. If you are interested, I hope that filming can start as soon as possible, so that it can be released in time for the Spring Festival. Of course, if you really don't have a schedule here, forget it, and it's not too late to shoot when you have a schedule. ”

Zhou Xingchi also understood that the script this time was specially prepared by Zheng Yan for himself.

Zhou Xingchi was a little moved but also a little strange, and it was the same when Zheng Yan invited Zhang Guorong to star in "Farewell My Concubine".

Write a good script, but only let specific actors play, otherwise they would rather give up the script, which has never been heard of in the previous Hong Kong entertainment industry.

"What about the script? In your habits, the script should have been written, right? I don't have a problem here, but since I have a script, let me see it first. If the script is still written by you, it will not disappoint. ”

Zhou Xingchi thought for a while, on the one hand, out of gratitude to Zheng Yan, and on the other hand, he also trusted Zheng Yan, so he agreed.

"Brother Xing, since you agreed, there is no room for regret. Zheng Yan said with a little playfulness.

Zhou Xingchi was also stunned when he saw Zheng Yan's expression, and he didn't understand what Zheng Yan meant.

"Haha, Brother Xing, this time I have tailored two movies for you, and according to my plan, they will be released during the Spring Festival. Since you agreed, then I'm not welcome. ”

Zheng Yan's laughter felt like a treacherous plan.

Zhou Xingchi didn't expect that such a big boss as Zheng Yan would calculate such a trivial matter, and he was quite proud.

"Zheng Yan, do you really plan to release two movies during the Spring Festival? Do you know that the competition for the Spring Festival schedule is very fierce. The reason why "The Saint of Gambling" was released in the first place was because you signed a gambling agreement with the theater company. ”

Zhou Xingchi did not worry about the shooting, but doubted whether the film could be released smoothly.

"Brother Xing, do you think our Longteng is still the Longteng when "The Saint of Gambling" was released? Now with the success of "The Saint of Gambling" and "The Gambler", plus the "Farewell My Concubine" that is being released, anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is only a matter of time before this movie succeeds. I really can't think of any reason for the theater side to refuse the film. ”

I have to say that although there are only three works of Long Teng, the achievements are all amazing.

"Zheng Yan, I understand what you said. With Longteng's current status, if it is only a work released during the Spring Festival, there will definitely be no problem. However, if you want to release two films at the same time, I'm afraid it's not so easy. Unless it is the same as the original "Gambling Saint", it is possible to use the form of betting. ”

Zheng Yan actually understands in his heart that the Spring Festival is a time for major film companies to compete for, so the theater chain also has many considerations for the Spring Festival film schedule, and it is unlikely that one company will schedule two films.

"Brother Xing, I've considered all of what you said, and besides, I don't mind signing a gambling agreement with them. I have only one request, and that is for the film to be released during the Spring Festival. ”

In fact, in Zheng Yan's heart, he can't wait to sign a VAM agreement with the theater chain, because in this case, although the revenue of the theater chain is guaranteed, the corresponding theater share will be less.
