Chapter 342: Lian Po is old
This meeting with Zhang Qiao can be regarded as a complete rejection of Ahri's acquisition offer. In addition, Longlin is not a listed company, even if Ma Yun is unwilling, he cannot forcibly acquire it.
Unless Mr. Ma is really not bad for money and wants to use the money to stun Lu Lin. However, it is useless, in addition to the cash flow on the company's account, Longlin Pictures has developed the copyright of the "Movie Universe" series, and the biggest value is Lu Lin, a commercial film director who can play special effects.
For example, Huayi's acquisition of Feng Xiaogang's shell company "Dongyang La Magnesium" at a price of 1 billion, shareholders and netizens have discussed a lot, thinking that Huayi is banning shareholders' money, but it is just a discussion!
Because Feng Xiaogang is also a director of commercial films, he is one of the few directors in the Chinese film market who can continue to make profits. In addition to the miserable loss of "1942", Director Feng has made most of the movies since "Party A and Party B".
And if Lu Lin is willing to sell Longlin Pictures to Ma Yun, turn around and get another "shell company", and sign a gambling agreement, he can also sell it at a good price, and there will be many people who want to buy it.
For example, Brother Ma of Penguin, who also builds a "pan-entertainment" system, is very interested in Lu Lin and his "League of Legends" series of movies. Penguin Pictures' CEO Chen Wunian has been in contact with Lu Lin since the year, suggesting that a sequel to "Company of Soldiers" be developed as soon as possible.
After the party, they went home. Han Jiayi began to concentrate on researching information and writing the script of "The God of Medicine". Lu Lin also focused on the script writing of "The Battle of the Deer".
A very important reason is that the crew of "The Great Wall" started filming in early March, and Jing Yan joined the group. Lu Lin was bored at home, but he concentrated on writing the script.
Time flashed to the end of March, and the films released on the first day of the Lunar New Year were drawn one after another. The box office champion is "Heaven and Dragon Slayer: Who Fights", and finally scored 1.27 billion in the mainland, and the overseas box office is not high, which can be regarded as the lowest personal box office of Lu Lin since "The Return of the Great Sage".
But if compared with the films in the same period during the Spring Festival, Lu Lin's "Yitian" is more bullish, because the second-place "Heavenly General" only received 693 million, which is slightly more than half of the box office of "Yitian".
But compared with the production cost, Huayi, the main investment, has lost a lot. Mr. Xiao Wang scolded Li Rengang at the company meeting without mentioning Jackie Chan, so he naturally wanted to continue to cooperate. But when I talk about it in private, I am still a little indignant.
Beijing, Feng Xiaogang's mansion, after the completion of "Lao Pao'er", Director Feng once again fell into a confused period of creation, drinking tea at home every day, walking birds, catching who scolded whom, and seemed to be still immersed in the state of "six masters" and did not come out.
"Li Rengang, that kid, history was taught by a special physical education teacher, and in the end, it was all returned to the teacher's wife. Do you know the history of the Han Dynasty, just shoot with that blind, let's fold it now!" Director Feng sat on the sofa, full of momentum.
Wang Zhonglei complained, "Who said it wasn't, you said you couldn't do Lu Lin's special effects blockbuster." This time it's an ordinary 2D martial arts, and the box office is only half of what they do, and Huayi's face is all for them. ”
Feng Xiaogang remained silent and said slowly: "I went to watch that Yitian, it's quite interesting, there are enough stars, plus the promotional gimmick of the sequel, it's normal to have that result." If it weren't for the competition of eight movies during this year's Spring Festival, it might be able to reach 2 billion!"
Wang Zhonglei was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect Feng Xiaogang to say good things for Lu Lin. But he immediately understood that he was cowardly!
If you go back two years, Director Feng categorically looks down on Lu Lin, so he will make special effects blockbusters for a while, and he doesn't even have a serious work, what kind of director is he.
But these two years have not worked, and the creative follow-up is weak, and I have gradually recognized a reality. is at the box office of the movie, and it is impossible for him to surpass Lu Lin.
In this case, Lu Lin can no longer be criticized. It's not a shame to lose to a hero, it's a shame to lose to a bear!
What kind of person is Lu Lin, a genius in the Chinese film industry that has not been encountered in a century, and a wonderful flower created by the aura of the Beijing circle! Director Feng is not as good as him at the box office, and he is not ashamed! There are a few people in the Chinese film industry who can do him at the box office, do Lao Mouzi dare to say it? Can Xu Ke? Why do you keep saying that I lost to him!
Director Feng has been shrewd all his life, and he understands these things!
Wang Zhonglei is a little anxious, Hua Yi's most capable generals are instigated, how can the "box office war" be fought in the future, although now he wants the company's films to be released on the same schedule as Lu Lin's works.
"Lao Feng, that Lu Lin has some ability at the box office, but his works have no connotation. Your previous films are all humorous and thought-provoking, this is your specialty, and we can't lose this advantage!" Wang Zhonglei praised.
Feng Xiaogang smiled self-deprecatingly, "That's why you are still talking about this, these children now, I'm afraid they won't recognize me!"
Wang Zhonglei smiled, "Why don't you admit it, how many young people think of the classic lines in "Big Names" when they see the house prices rising and can't afford it!"
Speaking of this, Feng Xiaogang was also a little proud, and said: "You must choose the best prime location and hire a French designer!"
Wang Zhonglei continued: "To build, you have to build the highest-grade apartment, the elevator goes directly to the house, and the smallest unit has to be 400 square meters!"
Director Feng: "What kind of broadband, optical cable, satellite, can give him all the connection, upstairs there is a garden (child), there is a swimming pool in the building, there is a British butler standing in the building, wearing a wig, the kind of gentleman!"
Xiao Wang couldn't remember the content of the following, so he even guessed and said, and finally the two of them said together: "Do you know what a successful person is? Successful people buy whatever they want, and they buy the most expensive and don't buy the best! Therefore, our slogan for real estate is, not the best but the most expensive!"
After laughing, Director Feng patted the armrest of the sofa and said proudly: "If those little rabbit cubs can understand what I said earlier, how much advantage do they have to take advantage of?"
Xiao Wang always said: "Your Feng Dao's cheapness, ordinary people can't take advantage of it!"
Feng Xiaogang's eyes widened, "Hurt me, right?"
Wang Zhonglei smiled, "How can I beg you, "Heavenly General" lost a lot, and the performance was too ugly, please go out of the mountain and make a good film to save the scene!"
Mr. Wang has a lot of trust in Feng Xiaogang's ability, otherwise he would not have cooperated for more than ten years. Director Feng left Huayi to start his own company, and he had to dig him back.
And there is a precedent for this matter, "1942" lost twice as badly, and turned around Director Feng to shoot a low-cost "Private Custom", with a box office of more than 700 million, and easily earned the money back!
But this time Feng Xiaogang waved his hand and refused: "It's really not good this time, I'm old, sometimes I get distracted when I write a script, I am in a daze with that, and I don't know what to think about for a long time!"
Wang Zhonglei also knew that Director Feng's creative energy was not as good as before, and said: "Why don't you buy some books from the company, you pick?"
Director Feng nodded, "Cheng, you look at the selection, if there is a suitable one, I'll take a look!" and then inexplicably sighed, "It's so good when you're young!"
