Chapter 089 Kneeling to Make Money Movie
At the beginning of September, Jin Zhongming set off for Shanghai, spent half a day in the film joint venture of Shanghai Film Media Asia, signed a cooperation project, and then immediately rushed back to the capital. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In the final analysis, regardless of whether the box office of Guangfu has always been the first among major cities, or whether the financial business in Shanghai is more developed, the foundation of Chinese films has always been in Beijing.
Well, then if you look at it, it would be a bit confusing for Jin Zhongming to go to Shanghai to keep up with Yinghuanya and then engage in cooperation. Actually, he really didn't go here to engage in any film cooperation, after all, he couldn't chew too much, and it made no sense to spread too big. In fact, he came here for only one purpose, and that was to take the opportunity to eat S.M's main commercial channel in China.
In other words, whether it is S.M, JYP, YG and other music companies, it has always been difficult to gain a foothold in the Chinese market. It's not that they don't want to, but they really can't do it, just look at the Chinese trainees they keep recruiting. So at this time of 10 years, there is a strange phenomenon. On the one hand, everyone understands the size and development prospects of the Chinese market, but on the other hand, Korean entertainment brokerage companies always hit a wall everywhere in their actual operation...... Well, this thing can be written in a paper, and the situation in it is so complicated that the person concerned can't explain it clearly.
But...... There's no need, just say two. One is that the current Chinese market has not yet reached the point where it will be five or six years later, and the Korean-style way of operating and making profits will not work in China at all; the other is very easy to understand, that is, South Koreans do not understand the rules of the game in China at all, especially all kinds of enterprises and institutions have official backgrounds behind them, and if you don't have that kind of deep partners in the system, it is simply difficult to move an inch.
However, at this moment, due to the diplomatic environment of the two countries, if you do not have the vision, courage, and strength, you will not dare to engage in this kind of cooperation! Of course, there must be someone who has this kind of ability and level, and you see that CJ, Haoliyou, and the like are about to take root in China, but as far as the group of song agencies that engage in Hallyu are concerned, no one is really moving at present.
Therefore, in the face of the huge Chinese mainland market, what K-pop idols can do is really limited, not to mention compared with the direct debut of Japan next door, and even the depth of Southeast Asia cannot be reached, so they can only make money through a concert or the like. However, even so, without the official endorsement of the South Korean government, it is powerless for companies as strong as S.M to stretch out their hands and feet to rent a stadium in the mainland, and their weakness and unpopularity have been almost clearly seen in the previous years of attempts.
So what should I do? I had to hire someone to build a bridge...... That's right, in fact, S.M, the only Korean song company that still maintains a presence in China, can only show its commercial value in two ways, one is the official lead, and that doesn't need to be considered, as for the other, it is naturally Media Asia with its ass in Xiangjiang and its body in the mainland.
And Jin Zhongming came to Shanghai this time to do such a very shady thing -- like the trip to Japan, he easily cut off the connection between the other S.M company and Media Asia.
By the way, a gossip here, Xiangjiang people do business is very realistic, and Japan's big trouble is different, this time it is almost a good talk with the other party, first let Zhang Chengwen take Chen Yongxiong's path to test it, and then the director Chen Zhiguang, the person in charge of Media Asia in Shanghai, came to the capital to meet with Jin Zhongming, we talked about other businesses, and compared the income, which was the executive director who was fully responsible for the business of the S.M company nodded directly.
After that, Jin Zhongming went to Shanghai to directly sign some cooperation contracts, and the matter was negotiated.
"Mr. Kim, rest assured. "It's still the same director Chen Zhiguang, but at the moment, his face is flushed and full of joy, and it seems that he is very satisfied with the contract just now. "I can see which is more important than the other, and it is really not worth mentioning compared to Mr. Jin's business...... It's up to me...... We'll wait until the next time their family tour pulls the ladder, and you'll definitely be satisfied......"
"Director Chen, I am still relieved. Jin Zhongming is naturally smiling, this is the style of Xiangjiang businessmen, and he does not shy away from his nature of seeking profits, that is, whoever has more money will go with whom.
"We at Mr. Lin appreciate you. Chen Zhiguang continued to say politely. "Ask me to greet you, I hope you have time to go to Xiangjiang to see, he will definitely sweep the couch to greet you......"
"Keep it in mind. ”
After the politeness, Jin Zhongming withdrew and left, without the slightest intention of remembering, he came to Huanya this time purely to cut Li Xiuman's claws, and wanted to share the grand Chinese mainland Hallyu market in the future or to follow the mainland's routine, Huanya is not justified after all.
Therefore, I still have to go back to the capital.
In fact, at this moment in the capital, the big names in the Chinese film industry have begun to disturb one after another because of one thing, and many people are rushing to work from Xiangjiang, Guangfu, and Shanghai...... Even flew back to the capital from abroad, just to attend a movie premiere celebration. Without him, Jiang Wen, Chow Yun-fat, Ge You, the film "Let the Bullets Fly" will be premiered at the Beijing Olympic Sports Center on the 6th, and no one wants to miss such a grand event, and Beijing's position in the heart of Chinese films is fully revealed.
And Jin Zhongming, as one of the main investors in "Let the Bullets Fly", it is natural for him to go there to brush his face.
However, as soon as he got on the plane, Jin Zhongming was a little drowsy, and most of the accompanying translators and security guards were also the same, which was really ...... No one can blame it, the main thing is that it was too hasty, I flew here early this morning, and I reviewed the contract in the morning, and now I have to fly back at night, plus the comfortable temperature inside the plane......
Of course, there are exceptions to everything, and Chu Long, who has returned to professional clothes, is not tired at all at this moment. In fact, she has always had an inexplicable sense of excitement from last night to now, not to mention napping, she can't fall asleep when she is thrown into bed, of course, this comes from what the man next to her said to her last night...... And then again, on the plane, although everyone was in low spirits, she didn't have the heart to make intimate moves with Jin Zhongming in front of so many seniors in the company, let alone disturb the rest of the man next to her. So, this little girl looked left and right, front and back, although she couldn't calm down completely, but she didn't know what she could do......
At this time, a fat man with a beard and a very bad image sitting in front of the side suddenly got up and changed seats with a lady next to Chu Long, and then laughed and talked to her:
"I don't know what Miss is called?"
Chu Long was at a loss!
Although he didn't understand the other party's words, just looking at this situation, Chu Long also understood that the other party was talking. So, the little girl opened her mouth, and then instinctively wanted to turn around and wake up Kim Zhongming, after all, this is China, not South Korea, and she doesn't even know how to express her attitude if she knows a few words, can she still kick it over? However, as soon as she turned around, she immediately reacted, although the other party looked very bad, but this is on the plane, what people should say is not a faux pas, and even judging from the calm expressions of other people around her, it should be just a normal conversation, what is it about waking up her boyfriend so recklessly? Isn't it the other way around to intensify the conflict?
"Nest...... Chinese...... It's very ......," Chu Long reluctantly explained.
"It turned out to be a foreigner. The other party was visibly disappointed.
At the same time, Jin Zhongming, who was sitting next to Chu Long and had his eyes closed, suddenly sneered, and then opened his eyes. Obviously, he didn't know when he woke up, but he didn't say a word, and instead let Chu Long show off his broken Chinese pronunciation.
Chu Long's face was flushed, and she didn't have to think about it to know what the people around her were laughing at, but at this moment, she could only push the other party's arm with her palm angrily.
"Does this gentleman know Chinese?" the bearded man immediately understood something from his laughter.
"Yes, my Chinese is a little bit smoother. Jin Zhongming smiled and grabbed Chu Long's hand and put it on his knee. "Sir, my surname, I noticed that you seem to have been watching our group since you got on the plane?"
"So you already noticed ......" The bearded man looked at the two men and glanced at the hands they were clasping together. "Actually, I'm a little presumptuous, my surname is Deng, Deng Yongxing...... Where did the gentleman come from? Mandarin is so good, better than mine......"
"I'm from South Korea. Kim Jong was succinct and to the point. "It seems that your accent is from the Xiangjiang River or the Taiwan Strait?"
"That's right, people from the Taiwan Strait. The other man nodded, then looked down and thought for a moment. "Actually, I saw that Mr. you appeared at Shangying Huanya in the morning, and then I thought you were familiar, so I always wanted to ask you why...... I didn't expect it to be from Korea...... South Korea's words...... Who the hell is it?"
"Mr. Deng is a filmmaker?" Kim Jongming thought.
"The director of the advertisement. The bearded man said this, but there was no lack of pride in his tone. "But there was a formal film. ”
"I see. Jin Zhongming nodded. "No wonder I met you on the side of Shadow Media...... Let me introduce myself, the contemptible Jin Zhongming is an actor. ”
Deng Yongxing: "......"
Jin Zhongming: "......"
"I ...... It's a little embarrassing. Deng Yongxing scratched his beard with some uneasiness. "It's a bit of a class with an axe...... No wonder it's so familiar, "Those Years" caused a sensation in the Taiwan Strait before, and I watched the pirated version of "Uncle" on the Internet a few days ago...... You just won the big bell actor, and you exchanged shares with Bona......"
"What's this?" Jin Zhongming took out his black-rimmed glasses and put them on with some indifference. "Why should I care about these things, besides, I don't want others to recognize them. ”
"I see. ”
"Do you have any ideas?" Jin Zhongming chuckled. "I don't think you, a director, are talking to me like this just to accosting my secretary. ”
"It's true. Deng Yongxing suddenly sat up straight. "I'm going to make a movie, so I'm making friends everywhere! Now that I've met the God of Wealth, I can't say a few more words!"
"Can Huayuan still be so arrogant?" Jin Zhongming asked with a smile. "Didn't you have the idea of turning into a fate when you saw me just now?"
"Of course. Deng Yongxing spread his hands. "Why not? Serious people want to make movies, and then use their own skills to raise investment, isn't this a natural thing? As for whether it is stalking or stalking, whether it is flickering on the wine table, it doesn't matter if it's like this now, as long as people are willing to invest money, it doesn't matter, in business, the key is that I am not a liar, I will make a movie when I get the money, and I will not run away...... Mr. Kim, this is my business card. ”
Jin Zhongming laughed again: "Are the advertising directors over there in the Taiwan Strait like you?"
"It's not. Deng Yongxing shook his head absently. "I came from Taiwan to Shanghai, and my style is different from others. ”
"I see. Jin Zhongming looked at the business card handed over by Chu Long. "Director Deng, judging from the business card, you should be a famous advertising director, right?
"There is no shortage of money. Deng Yongxing shook his head. "At least the film is still in my hands...... But well, if you can mitigate the risk, why put your net worth into it?"
"It's really your style......"
"Advertising directors make money on their knees. Deng Yongxing shook his head again. "I've personally gotten used to it. But it's normal for Mr. Kim to feel uncomfortable. Why, are you still interested in reading my script? It's in my bag, and I still want to find you. ”
"Nothing to do anyway. Jin Zhongming thought for a while, and finally chose to switch seats with Chu Long and came to Deng Yongxing's side, and then read the script of this movie.
To be honest, he didn't hit it off at first sight, and the previous remarks of the previous acquaintance were purely polite, and the reason for reading the script was as he himself said, 'I have nothing to do anyway'...... There is even a hint of the meaning of letting Chu Long hide in himself and stay away from this bearded uncle with a bad image.
In short, Kim Jong-ming has no feelings for this director who kneels to make money, and he hasn't even regarded the other party as a director. And this kind of hypocritical politeness on the surface is just the opposite of the hypocritical politeness after meeting Tsui Hark before, the latter is deliberately suppressing the feeling of respect in the heart, the former is purely not wanting to offend people for no reason, in fact, he is very contemptuous of this person's frivolous style.
And after glancing at the name of the script, this kind of contempt in my heart is even heavier - "Six Hundred Miles to Fuyang".
I haven't heard of it, I haven't seen it, I don't feel it, is it talking about discrimination against Anhui people in Shanghai? In addition, it is difficult for Jin Zhongming to associate the director who lives in Shanghai with the name of this script.
However, the flight distance from Shanghai to the capital is 1,000 kilometers, and it takes only a little more than two hours, and when he got off the plane, Jin Zhongming had already been conquered by this director who was kneeling to make money.
"Lots of shortcomings. "Admiralty's words are conclusive. "There are too many mistakes in the northern Anhui dialect in your script, and if you want Qin Hailu to act, I think it will be a loss of artistry......"
"But if I don't let Qin Hailu act, I won't be able to make money. Deng Yongxing's words were conclusive. "In that case, it would be better to go back to the original idea and make a documentary......
Jin Zhongming: "......"
"I want to make money. Deng Yongxing is still conclusive. "Although the artistry of no star is good, I can't lose money? I begged dozens of female stars, only Qin Hailu was willing to take this play, she also invested money, I have to serve a good family!"
"How much worse?"
"Two million is enough. ”
"Soft Girl Coin or Dollar?"
“…… Soft Girl Coin ...... But if you give me dollars, I'll take it. ”
"What do you think?" Jin Zhongming glanced at the other party.
"Forget it. ”
"Will the countryside not return?" After thinking for a few seconds, Jin Zhongming shook his head a little self-deprecatingly. "Tomorrow morning, Director Deng will come to Bona, find Mr. Chen Yongxiong, and I will ask him to give you two million. ”
"Don't you need to look for Mr. Jin?"
"I don't want to see you. Kim Jong-ming's answer was concise and to the point. "And, tomorrow I'm going to the premiere of a movie that stands to make money...... Can't pull away. ”
"As long as you have money...... You're an investor, and you're up and down. "Deng Yongxing's mentality is still very good.
