Chapter 174: It's time to fight back

conference room

DreamWorks executives gathered together, I heard that Wang Zifan returned to Hong Kong, Hong Jinbao and Xu Anhua also came halfway, but the meeting scheduled for ten o'clock, half an hour has passed, and Wang Zifan is still missing. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"I'm sorry, I've kept you waiting!" Wang Zifan strode in and found that there were more participants than expected, in addition to the senior executives of DreamWorks and popular directors, there were also several independent producers, sat down to look at Shi Nansheng, and said with a smile: "I just came back today, first ask Miss Shi to report to us on the financial situation!"

In front of everyone's eyes, Shi Nansheng stood up and briefly introduced: "Since 1981, the company has spent a total of 36.72 million yuan, including 12 million production costs for the three films "Loser", "Mr. Zombie" and "Happy Ghost", 8.23 million yuan for TV stations, 3.96 million yuan for "Apple Daily", more than 2 million yuan for record companies and "Next Magazine", and the remaining amount for Mr. Wang!"

There was an uproar in the room, more than 30 million, and it was too much to spend, but Wang Zifan nodded, he carried a total of 10 million yuan on this trip to the mainland, which was about 4.5 million yuan when converted into RMB, renovating Wudang, Shanghi to acquire land, and establishing a trading company, and all the remaining money was used as the mainland business start-up and working capital, so this time he came back empty-handed.

Shi Nansheng's tone changed and continued: "The company's profit is 21.37 million, of which "Best Partner" dividends are 13 million, and the rest is the overseas distribution income of "Happy Ghost" and "Pretty Girl". ”

Wang Zifan said unexpectedly: "The record company is still losing money?"

Feng Tianzhi, the person in charge of Oriental Records, immediately stood up and explained: "Mr. Wang, at the beginning of the year, our company acquired a film company, and I submitted a plan to you before!"

Wang Zifan glanced at the secretary lightly, if there was no one, he would have slapped her ass a few times, and such an important document was lost.

Shi Nansheng added: "At present, the record company account is in good condition, and Next Magazine is still losing money!"

If you lose, you will lose!

Wang Zifan thought to himself how much a weekly magazine could lose, he is not one of the poor and sour literati of "Double Weekly", he has no money and still invests in entrepreneurship, and "Next Weekly" is entertainment, and he is making movies, there must always be a standard-bearer behind him, otherwise he will have to spend money on publicity every time, how embarrassing, and he plans to acquire "Double Weekly" through "Next Weekly" and independently undertake the big killer of the Academy Awards!

Shi Nansheng reported good news: "However, the "Apple Daily" has developed well, and it has turned losses into profits in just three months since it was opened, with daily sales of more than 200,000 copies!"

Hearing "Apple Daily", Xu Anhua was slightly moved, and asked in surprise: "Is this newspaper an industry under Mr. Wang's name?"

Shi Nansheng said with a smile: "Yes, I propose to merge Apple Daily into the Oriental Group, which is more conducive to control and management!"

Wang Zifan said: "Yes!"

Xu Anhua had a smile on his face, because "Apple Daily" took the lead in provoking the topic of Hong Kong's return, and the outside world unanimously characterized it as a leftist newspaper, and was even called a base camp by some people, since this newspaper is under the name of Wang Zifan, Wang Zifan's position is self-evident, as well as DreamWorks, Jiayi TV, Oriental Records, etc., the power of leftists in the entertainment industry has grown many times invisibly.

Maybe no one knows that Hong Kong films were also leftist in the past, and even leftist filmmakers have conducted a show. The 'clean' movement is to sweep away rightist films, and even neutral films, at that time, Dianmao Pictures fully supported, and the Dian family once fell into disadvantage, but with the disintegration of Dianmao, leftist films were also greatly damaged, especially the June Seven riots, the entire leftist camp in Hong Kong once suffered a devastating blow, and the entertainment industry forces were even more shrinking, until the development of mainland policies, it gradually changed, and now with Wang Zifan joining, leftist filmmakers like Xu Anhua and Xu Ke have more room for development.

Having said so much, he didn't get into the topic, Hong Jinbao wanted to know how DreamWorks would arrange the release of the movie in the future, and wanted to complain a few words, but suddenly heard that "Apple Daily" was an industry under Wang Zifan's name, and immediately shut up, it was amazing, other people's "newspapers" were successful after many tests, like Jin Yong founded "Ming Pao" back then, conscientious, and did not dare to slack off for a day, Rao is so, or rely on publishing his own novels to get through the difficulties, how can Wang Zifan invest casually, can he make such a great achievement, is he God's own son?

The more I think about it, the more it is not a taste, Hong Jinbao was greatly frustrated, Wang Zifan started by making movies, he is an expert in this regard, but compared with others, he threw a few streets, Wang Zifan made movies to make money either to invest in new movies or to open up new careers, and he also made money by making movies, but most of the money was taken away by Jiahe, even if he occasionally made small gains, he and his brothers squandered it.

In addition to Hong Jinbao, Zeng Zhiwei couldn't help it, and reminded: "Mr. Wang, our company is still pressing three films, and we will lose a lot of money if we delay it for a day, and "Mr. Zombie" filmed by A Ying and "The Loser" filmed by the big brother are waiting to be arranged, and now Mr. Lei is clearly targeting us, and we must plan early." ”

Wang Zifan smiled instead, Princess Jin's ban on DreamWorks seemed like the end of the world to them, but in his place, it was just a small episode, unfortunately because of Lei Juekun's defection, his plan to form a cinema alliance came to naught, and Hong Kong movies are about to enter the Warring States Period, this time the battle for hegemony will be more intense, but there are so many people in the conference room, it is impossible for all of them to be confidants, and the result of the discussion at noon may be placed in the afternoon Lei Juekun, On Zou Wenhuai's table, he wanted to come up with a statement that could not only appease the morale of the army, but also hide the real plan.

Huang Baiming said hopefully: "What is Mr. Wang's response plan?"

Zeng Zhiwei said: "Yes, now the friends of DreamWorks are going crazy, and we can receive thousands of inquiry letters every day!"

Wang Zifan pondered for a while, thought of a way to fool Lei Juekun, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, there are many plans, as we all know, the films produced by our DreamWorks must be high-quality, even if they are blocked by Princess Jin, this cannot be erased, and now we will take this as a breakthrough point." ”

Hong Jinbao wanted to speak and stopped.

Wang Zifan saw it in his eyes and said lightly: "Jiahe doesn't have to think about it, Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun wear a pair of pants, and sooner or later they will settle accounts with them!"

Chen Baixiang's heart moved, and he exclaimed: "Wang always plans to cooperate with the Wei family?"

Wang Zifan shook his head and said: "Although the Biao's cinema line is good, but Shaw will not agree to be so simple, I think we can focus on the three major cinema chains?"

Xu Anhua smiled: "I can contact Shuangnan Cinema Line!"

Everyone's face changed, although Shuangnan Cinema Line screened Chinese films, but because of its position has been blocked by Taiwan, if DreamWorks and Shuangnan establish a cooperative relationship, I am afraid that Lei Juekun and Zou Wenhuai will be able to laugh, DreamWorks loses the Taiwan market, just like a toothless tiger, it is definitely a stupid move!

Wang Zifan said: "I belong to Anle Cinema!"

"Anle Cinemas?"

"Aren't they specifically showing Western films?"

"I think it's doable!"

"Yes, although the strength is not as good as the three major theaters, we can learn from Lei Juekun, find a few theaters to join, and reorganize a discourse theater line!"

……

Several high-level executives exchanged opinions and smiled on their faces, other film companies may not be able to do it, but DreamWorks is different, the boss has hundreds of millions of funds in his hands, as long as Anle Cinemas is willing to cooperate, Wang Zifan can expand the scale of Anle with strong economic strength, and DreamWorks can come back to life!

Huang Baiming volunteered: "Mr. Wang, I have written a script for Anle Cinema Line, I know Boss Jiang somewhere, and I am willing to be responsible for the negotiation!"

Wang Zifan was stunned for a moment, nodded and agreed, he proposed to cooperate with An Le just to hide people's eyes, Lei Juekun played such a hand, how could he easily reveal it, although DreamWorks made money with the help of Princess Jin, but the interests were relative, and the Golden Princess Cinema Line became the most powerful cinema chain in Hong Kong, steadily pressing Golden Harvest, not to mention the Twin Brothers, not so much that DreamWorks got carried away, but that Princess Jin was ungrateful and treacherous.

"Do you have any questions?"

Chen Baixiang said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, there are several big theaters in Hong Kong, we have all cooperated, you can find someone to talk to them first!"

Wang Zifan looked at Zeng Zhiwei and ordered: "You are responsible for the cooperation, or you will talk about it!"

Zeng Zhiwei nodded in agreement, his face was a little excited, it was the first time to undertake such an important task, if the talk was successful, he could go from director to real management position, you must know that when he first joined DreamWorks, he was still a screenwriter.

Lin Zhengying asked: "Afan, is the film still being filmed according to the normal plan?"

Wang Zifan said with a smile: "Of course, August will definitely arrange a schedule for "Mr. Zombie"!"

Hong Jinbao hurriedly reminded: "The progress of my "Loser" is a bit slow, and it may have to wait until October to finish!"

Wang Zifan said: "How long will it be in the later period?"

Hong Jinbao said embarrassedly: "Kung fu movies are delayed, about two months!"

Huang Baiming, Shi Nansheng, and Teddy Robin are all frowning, two months is enough for them to make a small-budget comedy movie, I really don't understand why they want to make kung fu movies!

Wang Zifan is more optimistic about this film and decided to give a good schedule: "Then Christmas file!"

Hong Jin Baole said: "No problem, I will definitely do a good job of the film before December!"

Xu Anhua also smiled: "Mr. Wang, my "The Story of Hu Yue" has just been completed in the later stage, and I would like to hold a midnight premiere if I can!"

Wang Zifan said: "No problem, you book a time, I will let the palace theater cooperate! No matter whether this movie is profitable or losing, if you have a story to shoot in the future, I will invest in it!"

Xu Anhua hesitated, he didn't expect that he was so valued, he was very moved, thinking that Zhang Jianting, the screenwriter of "The Story of Hu Yue", seemed to have the intention of becoming a director, and wrote a story of "Seven Days of Love with the Wrong Table", and wondered if he would recommend him to Wang Zifan, but newcomers will inevitably lose money when making movies.
