Chapter 80: Beware of the Villain

After a round of greetings, the guests sat down. Song Shiqing handed the teacup to everyone. Mai Zilong wanted to help deliver the tea, but Song Shiqing blocked him with a gesture, and bowed to the sofa to let him sit and chat.

Du Zishan took the tea handed over by Song Shiqing, thanked him, put it on his lips and took a sip gently, and praised: "Good tea!"

Chen Tianliao said with a smile: "I came in a hurry this time, I didn't bring many things, and this tea was still provided by the hotel." ”

Du Zishan smiled awkwardly and said, "A five-star hotel is a five-star hotel, and this tea is very good." However, I did not come to have tea with Mr. Chen this time, but to talk to Mr. Chen about business. ”

Chen Tianliao sighed and said indifferently: "I don't know what business Mr. Du wants to discuss?"

Du Zishan knew that the mainlanders had always had a very bad impression of the association, and originally thought that Chen Tianliao would oppose cooperation. Unexpectedly, Chen Tianliao didn't react at all, and Du Zishan's heart became unsteady. However, he still said with a normal face: "Mr. Chen, please rest assured, Xiangjiang is about to return, and we don't dare to let you do anything illegal." I would like to ask Mr. Chen to allow me to produce and operate VCDs. ”

Chen Tianliao was surprised: "Uh, that's it?"

Du Zishan was extremely satisfied with Chen Tianliao's reaction: "Yes, that's it. The question of price is negotiable. I will also submit the fee according to the patent fee given to you by other manufacturers. ”

Chen Tianliao said with a smile: "In this way, in fact, Mr. Du can find a little brother with a bit of status to talk to my managers, how can you be forced to come in person?"

Du Zishan stared at Chen Tianliao's eyes and said, "I came this time mainly to see what our little genius looks like. To tell the truth, you can call the wind and rain on the boundary between the West and the East, and I feel honored as a Chinese. And, I feel like you're capable of more than that. I think that as long as we can work together in the future, it will definitely do a lot of good to our community. Our community is now moving to the direction of legal operation, and any opportunity must be seized seriously!"

Chen Tianliao was noncommittal to Du Zishan's words in his heart, and just nodded: "Mr. Du has a heart." As long as it is a legitimate business and both parties are mutually beneficial, we are also willing to cooperate. ”

Du Zishan said happily: "It's rare for Mr. Chen to be so happy. I heard that Mr. Chen came to Xiangjiang this time to recruit film talents from Xiangjiang and set up a film company?"

Chen Tianliao's heart moved. He knows that no matter which time and space these societies are involved in the film industry, the most famous incident in his previous life is that Andy Lau was once pointed at his head with a gun to make a movie, and the most famous incident in this time and space is the insult of a well-known actress. Du Zishan naturally will not let go of the huge fat of the movie, and has intersected with many of them. But he's not an easy person to be tempted about: "Yes. Does Mr. Du have a way?"

Du Zishan said: "I have a little stake in a big film company, and I also hold two film studios as a sole proprietorship. How about I can transfer the studio to Mr. Chen at the market price, and I can match Mr. Chen with the film company?"

Chen Tianliao quietly glanced at Du Zishan's eyes, and saw that the other party's eyes were also playful. Chen Tianliao raised his eyebrows and said, "Thank you Mr. Du for your kindness." That being the case, I'm not interested in acquiring studios, though. I just want to recruit a group of talents, talents who can really be used by me. ”

Du Zishan listened to the words "for my use" and showed a knowing smile. He said: "You can rest assured, my two studios are professional and technical personnel, one is the Ganglong Martial Arts Studio, which mainly provides Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts and Soraline (extras, Yin Tianqiu's kind of actor in "The King of Comedy"), and the other is a post-production studio. ”

Chen Tianliao is a little ridiculous, the post-production studio can be understood, and characters like Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts and Solamine are also made into a studio...... Well, thinking of Du Zishan's identity, it's not incomprehensible. When it comes to the Xiangjiang Dragon and Tiger Martial Artists, it is world-famous. Whether it's action design or stunt performances, they are among the best in the world. If there is a ready-made team, it is natural to acquire.

"Are they all willing to work in the mainland?" asked Chen Tianliao.

Du Zishan smiled: "As long as the income is not reduced too much, it's fine." Now that the movie is starting to slump, and we are still owed a few payments, everyone can see some of the decline of the movie. Hollywood's impact is too great for us to sustain. To be honest, if you don't have enough to buy, I'll disband these two studios by next year at the latest. ”

Chen Tianliao said: "I don't know what works you have in those two studios?"

Du Zishan said: "The studio of the martial artist turned out to be a special effects research studio. This guy next to me wanted to combine computer effects to create special effects, and there was a little result. It's just that later, the community's economy was sluggish and it couldn't do special effects research, so there was only one group of dragon and tiger martial artists left. They are definitely not as famous as the Li family class, the Yuan family class and the Liu family class, but the three major martial arts classes are our studio. The performances in our studio are different from those martial arts classes. In terms of fighting, we can't compare with them, but in terms of car stunts, only Li Jiaban can compare with us. Moreover, this martial artist class is the youngest martial artist class in Xiangjiang. It is only for the long-term consideration of the community that we must abandon these projects as soon as possible that cannot be profitable or even lose money in the long run. ”

Chen Tianliao admired them a little. Although Xiangjiang can produce good computer special effects, because the labor of the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts is cheap, and the investor has always been careful and unwilling to invest heavily in special effects, it has always lagged behind in the research and development of computer special effects. In the previous life, Xiangjiang Films learned from the pain after the box office, and vigorously engaged in special effects movies in the late 90s and early 21st century. And the actor who benefited the most was Ekin Cheng. Some people joked that the money that the people of Xiangjiang invested in stunts was spent on him. The three films he made were representative works of special effects in Xiangjiang films at that time, namely "The Storm and the Clouds Dominate the World" in 1998, "Chinese Heroes" in 1999 and "The Legend of Shushan" in 2001. These three films just brought a little wave to the backwater of the Xiangjiang film industry, and then drowned in a group of bad works that sell stunts.

Although Du Zishan's studio did not insist on continuing to do the special effects, he did not change the name and changed the studio to Class XX again, which is worthy of Chen Tianliao's admiration.

"As for the post-production studio, it's not top-notch, but most of the people in it are seasoned veterans. The young ones are all special effects producers who have transferred from the martial arts studio. Personally, I feel that there is a lot of potential in them. If you really want to buy, I don't even charge money. All you need to do is take in the studio's staff. As for whether to continue using it or terminate the contract, it's up to you. Du Zishan said.

Chen Tianliao said: "Mr. Du said that I am interested in acquiring. I will ask a professional team to evaluate Mr. Du's two studios, and if they meet my requirements, I will give suitable conditions. ”

Du Zishan said happily: "Okay, welcome Mr. Chen to send someone to our studio as soon as possible." In addition, I have also brought a copy of the information, which I hope will be helpful to you in your recruitment. Speaking of this, he turned his head to Fang Wensheng, the smiling tiger who had been silent beside him, and said, "Wensheng, give the information to Mr. Chen." ”

Fang Wensheng stood up, picked up the briefcase he was carrying with both hands, handed it to Chen Tianliao, and said: "This is the information we have collected about filmmakers in Xiangjiang who are not very satisfactory but whose talents cannot be ignored. They are a group of people who are the best motivation to develop in the mainland, and I hope they can be useful to you. ”

Chen Tianliao was overjoyed, took the briefcase, and said, "Thank you so much." But you are so generous, it makes my heart uneasy!"

Du Zishan laughed and said, "Yes, although you are young, you are so old, it is really good." You can consider this my long-term investment. My vision is very accurate. ”

Chen Tianliao put down his briefcase and stared at the other party's face with blazing eyes. Du Zishan smiled awkwardly: "Actually, I really have a long-term investment. Because I know that Mr. Chen has a great thing in Pengcheng that has been successfully developed, and it seems that he is still applying for a global patent. Although I don't know much, many experts say that this thing is good and will attract the attention of the whole world. You are currently working on further development applications. We actually want you to give us a chance to join us. ”

Chen Tianliao smiled: "Your nose is really smart." True, we have invented a new electronic storage tool, which is currently being further refined on technical and application issues. We plan to announce the results next year when we have a relatively reliable product. This technology has a wide range of applications and a large market, requiring a lot of players, at least much larger than VCDs. You'll be able to see it when we announce the product. There's definitely a chance for you. ”

Du Zishan smiled happily: "That's good." Actually, it's nothing if you don't have a chance. I always feel that you are the greatest asset. ”

Chen Tianliao said modestly: "Thank you, Mr. Du, for the compliment." Actually, I think so too. ”

Everyone was stunned by his last words, and then they all laughed. Song Shiqing glared at Chen Tianliao with a red face, and said softly: "I'm shameless!"

Everyone chatted for a while, and Du Zishan left. Before going out, Du Zishan suddenly leaned into Chen Tianliao's ear and said, "Mr. Chen, beware of villains when you go back!"

Chen Tianliao looked at Du Zishan in amazement. Du Zishan smiled, waved his hand at him, and walked towards the elevator with Fang Wensheng.

Chen Tianliao thought about Du Zishan's words seriously, but he couldn't find a clue, so he simply stopped thinking about it. Anyway, he is acting upright, and he doesn't have to be afraid of those cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods.

And after Du Zishan and Fang Wensheng entered the elevator, Fang Wensheng actually asked, "Brother Shan, why did you warn Chen Tianliao?"

Du Zishan smiled and said: "Because Chen Tianliao can bring us more benefits, and the one in the capital, hehe." And no matter how long his hand is, he can't reach out to Xiangjiang, even if he starts with our industries in the mainland, the people of Lingdong Province will cover us for us. So why not sell your favor to Chen Tianliao?"

Fang Wensheng nodded and said, "Actually, we can sell the favor a little bigger." ”

Du Zishan said: "If it sells big, we will be in trouble." We'd better have less trouble. Don't look at Chen Tianliao's age, he is more experienced than all of us. He is law-abiding all over the world, without any stain, and he can still do such a big business in this way, which is rare in the world. With my reminder, he will be more careful, and we don't have to worry about this. ”
