Chapter 1184: Second Meeting
In the eyes of the media, Yang Ming hated it, and he couldn't wait to hold it in the palm of his hand to take care of it, for fear of annoying this uncle.
At the same time, he is also the most unique one among all the celebrities in the entire entertainment industry.
I don't like to be interviewed, I don't like alternative styling, and I always don't take the usual path.
For this, the media circle loves and hates Yang Ming, but there is nothing they can do.
As soon as Yang Ming arrived at the studio, there was a commotion at the door, and the sound of countless flashing lights came in.
Accompanied by the sound of hurried footsteps, there were many reporters asking questions eagerly.
"Excuse me Yang Ming"
"Yang Ming, may I ask"
"What do you think?"
The darling of the media.
Shangguan Tian glanced at Shangguan Hu helplessly, I have to say that this young man, who is gradually equal to them in terms of status, is indeed extremely strange among the giants in this circle, not only a star, but also a star who is very eye-catching.
The man hadn't come in yet, and all the media reporters had already surrounded him.
Yang Ming answered a few questions casually, and then under the maintenance of the security guards and staff, he walked out and walked into the hall, attracting countless eyes to look over.
After he walked into the hall and swept around, he showed a confident smile, and when he saw Shangguan Tian's beckoning, he walked over.
"I really didn't expect President Shangguan to really have time to come over and cheer?" Yang Ming said politely with a smile.
Hearing this, Shangguan Tian smiled faintly, glanced at Yang Ming with deep meaning, and then pretended to be helpless and said: "Now I have too much pressure on the company's board of directors, saying that I was sold and I still helped me count the money!"
When Yang Ming saw Shangguan Tian's appearance, he immediately guessed that the other party was now wondering why he was spending so much money to enter an art theater.
After all, the Art Garden Cinema was originally acquired from Huaxia Brothers Media.
Regret may not be talked about, but the other party may be a little worried that the pearl will be dusty and give up a gold mine, which will be a very faceless thing for them.
Thinking of this, Yang Ming suddenly said: "Look at what you said, I didn't expect to be so lucky at the time to be able to come across the film "Bitter Water", to be honest, if it weren't for the thoughts of the old dean of our college, I didn't have the idea of acquiring the art garden cinema line at the beginning, which can be regarded as a little contribution to our college." ”
He would definitely not reveal his true thoughts to Brother Shangguan, but now in the face of the other party's doubts, he can't shirk and deliberately not talk about it.
After thinking about it, I found such an excuse.
As a professional art education institution, Yenching Film Academy is also a modeling base in the entertainment industry.
Every year, in addition to the newly graduated directors who will take a graduation work, there are also some teachers who are unwilling to be lonely and have itchy hands will also make some film works.
Whether it is a film by a newly graduated director or a film by a teacher, most of the works made by most people are unlikely to be released in mainstream commercial theaters.
It is enough to have a small screening through some unknown channels and get a little praise from professionals.
Now Yang Ming has made a niche art theater, for Yenching Film Academy, it is undoubtedly the first to get close to the water, and some films made by teachers and students who are too much in pursuit of artistic perfection now have a good screening channel.
When Shangguan Tian heard Yang Ming's explanation, he thought about it, nodded slightly, and recognized Yang Ming's statement.
He also didn't believe that the Art Garden Cinema could become a cash cow and a cornucopia in Yang Ming's hands, at least in his opinion, it was impossible.
Now the mainstream is commercial films, too niche art films, the scale of the market is getting smaller and smaller, the more art is pursued, the more impossible it is to be released in commercial theaters and achieve a better box office.
This is the current trend of the entire film industry, and it is impossible to change because of the change of one or two people.
If Yang Ming's starting point is really for the film school, then there is really such a possibility.
It's just that the other party wants to please his alma mater, even if this alma mater has a lot of energy in the film industry, this is too much money, right?
"It seems that Mr. Yang made a lot of money last year, are you interested in making a big production together?" Shangguan Tian asked again quietly, wanting to continue to test Yang Ming.
In any case, he is still a little skeptical about spending hundreds of millions of dollars to curry favor with his alma mater.
The old fox - Yang Ming secretly cursed in his heart, he found that the real giants of the film industry, anyone who has a certain amount of strength, each one is not easy to match, and the skill of hiding a knife in a smile has long been full, and it has become an innate talent.
"There's no way, last year's box office sharing, and the transfer of shares in other industries, there is too much cash in hand, so follow the old dean's wishes and do things better!" Yang Ming shrugged his shoulders and replied flatly.
When Shangguan Tian heard Yang Ming's words, he couldn't help but feel a burst of tooth soreness.
It was stimulated.
But think about it, not to mention that the two movies last year were crazy about making money around the world, and the share transfer of an Internet company alone attracted tens of billions of Chinese dollars, and now throwing hundreds of millions of Chinese dollars out to get an art theater is really the same as playing.
In addition to the identity of the entertainment industry, this guy also has the identity of a genius entrepreneur on the Internet.
The most successful cross-industry player of all time!
Shangguan Tian had no choice but to think in his heart, if you use the thinking of the film industry to deal with him, people will use the identity of the Internet to slap you in the face, and you will no longer be able to communicate.
He doesn't want to discuss this topic anymore, even if the art garden cinema line shines again in the hands of the other party and becomes a gold mine, he doesn't want to pursue anything more, and he doesn't believe that a small art theater company, throwing hundreds of millions of funds, can it become a hen that lays golden eggs.
Yang Ming saw Shangguan Tian diverge from the topic, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Finally avoided this question, it was not that he was afraid of the other party, but he didn't want the other party to find out his true intentions now.
To tell the truth, even if he spends hundreds of millions of dollars to renovate and renovate this dilapidated theater into a flower, for the niche audience of art films, the art garden cinema line is destined not to become an easy and profitable company like mainstream commercial cinemas.
It is also impossible to have the profitability of a commercial theater chain.
But Yang Ming's purpose is not to make money at all, but the influence brought by art theaters.
In every country's film industry, there will definitely not be only one genre of commercial films, otherwise there will be no disputes over commercial art.
Moreover, such disputes seem to be that in the film industry of every country, art films may not be able to exceed the influence of commercial films, but in terms of media public opinion, the artistic stream is better than the commercial stream.
Not to mention anything else, just the various film awards in various countries, as long as there is a certain reputation in the selection of films, the right to speak is basically in the hands of people who support the views of art films.
The Golden Dragon Award, the Oscars, the Cannes Awards, and even the three major film festivals are the same.
Yang Ming spent money on professional art theaters, not to gain the favor of the major film award selectors, but to consolidate his identity and status in the film industry.
As long as the art garden cinema chain is developed, with his generous support, then this professional art cinema is bound to gradually become a holy place for the exchange and development of local art films.
In this case, Yang Ming, as the boss, will undoubtedly gain the favor of many film people.
If you don't look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha, don't look at the face of money, but also look at the art garden theater, these filmmakers will not be embarrassed to criticize Yang Ming's movies too hard.
This is the same as eating people's mouth and taking people's hands short.
Yang Ming talked and laughed with the Shangguan brothers, at this moment, he seemed to be a successful business person, guiding the country, and his aura was not inferior to Shangguan Tian, who had a reputation in the entertainment industry for decades.
At this moment, though.
Director You Gang also knew that Yang Ming had arrived, so he brought the crew members of "Bitter Water" over to say hello to Yang Ming and thank each other for their support.
If there is no Yang Ming's opening, it is estimated that "Bitter Water", a film that won the Golden Dragon Award for Best Picture, would have been very embarrassing.
is not just a good reception, but in the situation of winning the Golden Dragon Award, it has gradually disappeared from mainstream commercial theaters, which is undoubtedly a stain on a movie.
But now the support of the art garden cinema chain will undoubtedly give "Bitter Water" a chance to change its fate.
Besides, Yang Ming is now You Gang's boss in a sense, and it is also within his duty to say hello to the boss.
Yang Ming did not have a change in the identities and status of the two parties, but there was a change in attitude.
is still cordial and polite, without any identity posture, and everyone in the crew of "Bitter Water" shook hands and said hello one by one.
"To be honest, you are all seniors in the film industry, I am still young, and there are many places to learn from you. ”
"Don't be so polite, people who know me well call me by my name directly!"
Seeing that Yang Ming didn't look like an ordinary boss commanding at all, You Gang and all the crew members were also relieved.
"Hey, Director You, are you here? I just looked around and didn't find you, I am here on behalf of Shengli Pictures to wish the box office of "Bitter Water" a big hit. ”
At this moment, a voice was heard.
Yang Ming, Shangguan Tian, You Gang and others turned their heads when they heard the sound and saw Zhao Jianfeng and He Xinghan walking over.
Zhao Jianfeng was in front, He Xinghan walked behind like a follower, and Zhao Jianfeng had a sincere look on his face, and he said what he just congratulated.
"Thank you. ”
Anyway, You Gang thanked him very politely, and then introduced Zhao Jianfeng's identity to Yang Ming.
"Unexpectedly, we met again. ”
Zhao Jianfeng shook hands with Yang Ming as if he was a close friend, and then said hello to Shangguan Tian and Shangguan Hu.
Yang Ming, Shangguan Tian and others also responded politely.
It's just that what each of them is thinking in their hearts is unknown.
"I just entered the film industry, please take care of me in the future!" Zhao Jianfeng didn't stay long, and said politely when he left, and then his eyes stayed on You Gang for a moment, revealing an inexplicable smile, and then left.
Yang Ming looked at the back of the other party's departure, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
He really didn't expect that the other party would become the head of Victory Pictures.
Recently, he has been busy with movies, and he really hasn't paid attention to this matter.
It is also possible that Liu Xinsheng knew about it and forgot to mention it to him.
It's just that I don't know why, Yang Ming always felt that the guy who always had a friendly smile just now had an indescribable hostility towards him, thinking of this, his heart tightened, but he didn't take it to heart.
The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth.
After all, the film industry is a place where works speak, and in this regard, he is not afraid of any challenge.
And now he is no longer the unknown person he was a few years ago, even if the other party plays some shady tricks, you have to consider the consequences of his counterattack.
"This Zhao family is not simple, compared with the Xiao family, it is only strong but not weak. Shangguan Tian stood aside and suddenly said.
Yang Ming glanced at the other party angrily, he knew what the other party meant by saying this, and obviously wanted to sow discord and let Oriental DreamWorks and Victory Pictures pinch each other.
Whether it is You Gang's previous identity or Yang Ming's old grudge with some people, there are various reasons to pinch each other.
Just enough to let Brother Media sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
Shangguan Tian saw Yang Ming's eyes, smiled, didn't say anything more, and left with Shangguan Hu for a while.
You Gang is also an old man in the entertainment industry, so he naturally understands the meaning of Shangguan Tian's words, his face is a little hesitant, and he wants to speak several times, but he doesn't speak.
Yang Ming saw the embarrassed appearance of the other party, patted You Gang's shoulder, and smiled easily: "What are you afraid of, the sky is falling with me as high, and besides, the sky can't fall." ”
Although You Gang has a lot more life in the film industry than Yang Ming, at this moment he seems to be like a junior, and he needs Yang Ming's encouragement and enlightenment.
The two didn't mention this topic again, now the occasion is wrong, and the guests are almost all here, "Bitter Water" is about to be screened, You Gang, as the protagonist today, can't accompany Yang Ming all the time, and under Yang Ming's hint, he soon went to greet others.
Yang Ming walked around and saw many familiar faces, and he greeted them one by one with the courtesy of juniors.
Many of these familiar faces, guys who have a certain status in the film industry, and a few of them are members of the Golden Dragon Award Organizing Committee.
After all, in the past few years, he was taken by the old dean several times to attend various banquets, and he knew a lot of people, and he was also a junior at that time.
Now he naturally won't start to do it after he has achieved something.
In terms of modesty, Yang Ming did a good job, even if there was an overreaction, it was the other party who took the lead in not deserving Yang Ming's respect.
Yang Ming said hello to the guests as long as he saw them, and his attitude also won the favor of everyone who greeted him.
He wants the Art Garden Cinema to become a mecca for local art films, and he naturally doesn't want to have any negligence on the outside.
After a round of greetings, he also gained a lot.
Many celebrities in the film industry, in addition to appreciating Yang Ming's modest attitude, were also pleasantly surprised by the appearance of the renovated and renovated Art Garden Cinema.
In this regard, they all expressed their inner surprises, as well as their thanks to Yang Ming.
They really didn't expect that this young man could spend hundreds of millions of dollars to renovate and renovate art theaters that are not the mainstream.
You know, it's a loss-making business.
For this young man to have such a decision, it is indeed worth welcoming their favor.
Yang Ming turned around, and felt very satisfied in his heart, it seemed that his plan was still very successful, and it didn't take long for "Bitter Water" to start screening.
