Star Shine Economic Entertainment Company.

This name Ye Sumang doesn't know how long it hasn't appeared in his memory, and the only thing that makes him still have a slight impression is that the actress Li Bing, who gave him a great impression at the beginning, is an artist of this agency.

Ye Sumang didn't expect a person to be so narrow-minded, three years later, he was still looking for his own trouble.

Compared with the torn face on the bright face at the beginning, this kind of small action in private makes Ye Sumang even more annoying, sometimes the nasty thing has to be shot to death at once, otherwise it will always appear in front of you, and you will feel disgusting when you look at it.

If you want to do it, Ye Sumang directly picked up the phone in his hand.

"Xia Bing, help me find Li Bing's personal number, I have something I want to contact her."

"Got it, boss, I'll give you an answer tomorrow morning." Xia Bing replied competently, and at the same time, he had already begun to edit the text message and contact his contacts to find Li Bing's number.

Ye Sumang put down his phone, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily pulled up a sneer.

The best way to deal with entertainment companies is to snatch the other party's artists, what does a brokerage company rely on to eat? It's not that the artists eat, the artists are worth a lot, and their brokerage company will have income, otherwise they will be hungry, and the pillars of a company are definitely like treasures, and Ye Sumang wants to dig naturally the person that Xingyao values the most.

Ye Sumang was not afraid that Li Bing would not take the bait. There is no comparison between his own company and a small company like Xingyao, and he also has the ability to produce his own movies, TV series, and records, even if Li Bing is already a first-line female artist, she will definitely feel hot.

Especially now that these are extraordinary times. Ye Sumang's grasp is even greater.

Looking at a corner of the entertainment section of the newspaper in his hand, it was written that the contract between Li Bing and Xingyao had not been negotiated until it expired, Ye Sumang felt that this was simply an opportunity given by God to deal with Xingyao, and he would be sorry for himself if he didn't seize it.

However, this kind of thing can't be too rushed, and it must be done slowly, so Ye Sumang is also ready to find Li Bing's private number first, test it, and then wait for the time to be ripe and then succeed in one blow, which is the most haode blow to the opponent.

In addition to arranging this thing. Ye Sumang has another big event in the past two days, that is, the 'Asian Rising Star Guide' Jihua that he discussed with Liu Dehua is about to start.

This is a jihua for all emerging directors in Asia, with a total investment of 30 million Hong Kong dollars, which is equally borne by Ye Sumang and Liu Dehua, and the specific number of directors is 3-5, and as investors, Ye Sumang and Liu Dehua will not give the director any box office pressure, everything will be played by the director himself.

Of course, in terms of script review and funding, as an investor, there are still restrictions. There is probably a certain amount of money that can be allocated to each director, but this limit is completely unlimited in the eyes of those cutting-edge directors. They are making literary films and comedies, so in terms of funds, as long as this province is provincial, that province must be sufficient.

And this jihua has caused quite a stir in the Asian entertainment industry as soon as it was promoted, and the most difficult problem faced by new directors is not the creativity of the script, but the difficulty of finding funds, and they are not famous. The attraction to investors is very low, so it is often difficult to attract considerable investment.

Even most of the cutting-edge directors can only save enough money to film by selling houses or working part-time, which is also the reason why director Weishenme is too old.

Because many directors have dedicated their youth to the preparation of funds, and directors like Ye Sumang can take charge of the director at a young age, and even direct blockbusters with an investment of 80 million. It is estimated that it is a rare existence in the entire shijie.

And now for new directors, the highly anticipated 'Asian new star director' Jihua is finally about to start, which immediately caused a boom in the Asian director circle.

Almost all young directors who are eager to invest have come up with their best scripts, just waiting for the moment when this jihua starts, throwing out this script with their dreams, and waiting for the desired result.

In a reception hall of a five-star hotel in Beijing, many reporters gathered at this time.

"Today's press conference is expected, Asian kings and Asian directors are attending together, haha." A reporter in a daily newspaper vest fiddled with the camera of his mobile phone and laughed at the same time.

"No, but this Ye Sumang is really getting more and more influential, he was originally the idol of young directors, and now he is making such an event, which will definitely make him the most popular among young directors." Another reporter also sighed involuntarily.

"Why don't you say that people have good brains." The previous reporter pointed to his colleague's head with envy on his face, and said jokingly: "If you were as smart as him, it is estimated that you would be worth billions now." ”

"Haha, then I must buy the newspaper first, and then fire the editor-in-chief's big fat pig!"

"I think it's better to buy a camera first, you look at this in my hand, it's completely outdated, I just looked at the reporter of the Kyoto Entertainment News in front of me, the camera on the mobile phone, tsk, it's too exciting."

Although the conversation between the two reporters gradually went off topic, the two characters in the center of their topic had also arrived at the scene at this time and were resting in the lounge at the back.

"Su Mang, I'm really bothering you, I took time out of my busy schedule to come over to attend the press conference." As soon as they met, Liu Dehua gave Ye Sumang a cordial hug.

"It's a lot to say this, Brother Liu, I also have money for this jihua." Ye Sumang smiled, took the mineral water handed over by Andy Lau, and said.

"Seriously, I still don't know if I can find the real 'lost pearl'."

"You're completely unfounded." Ye Sumang took a sip of water with a smile, comforted Liu Dehua and said: "It's gold that always shines, such an opportunity, I believe those who have vision will grasp it." ”

"You'll have to see more when the time comes, anyway. Big brother, my old man could have counted on your vision to earn it back. Speaking of which, Liu Dehua patted Ye Sumang's shoulder meaningfully, looking very attached to the other party.

"Okay, I'll just say that Brother Liu is not a sentimental person, so he was waiting for me here."

Ye Sumang did not have a trace of joy at being valued, but glanced at Liu Dehua strangely. By the way, he slapped his hand away mercilessly, and several assistants and agents next to him couldn't help but cover their mouths and snicker when they saw the interaction between the two.

After all, the identities of the two people are destined to be serious on weekdays, and such a scene of joking with each other is really rare.

The press conference began quickly.

The appearance of Ye Sumang and Liu Dehua's joint duel was definitely the climax of the whole press conference, when the two walked up from the backstage side by side, the flash seemed to explode in an instant, shining the entire rostrum.

"Xiexie's reporters and media cheers." Andy Lau, as the initiator, will naturally have the right to speak in his hands.

With his speech, the LED screen behind the rostrum also began to play the main content of the "Asian Rising Star Guide" jihua, which was very detailed. It can allow all the media present to have a comprehensive understanding of this jihua.

"This time, I conceived the 'Asian Rising Star Director Jihua' for two years, and it took a year to prepare, and finally it was realized with the help of director Ye Sumang, and we are ready to invest 30 million Hong Kong dollars in advance as the shooting fund for the new director, and this fund is also for all new directors in Asia." Liu Dehua said that he couldn't help but have a trace of pride on his face.

This jihua is what he is most concerned about at the moment, even more so than making movies himself. Because he has always failed to invest in films, and this jihua is also something he smiled bitterly at. It's with the mind of fighting against the water.

And if this jihua succeeds, it will also mean fame and fortune, and it makes sense for Liu Dehua to pay special attention to it.

After Liu Dehua made a general introduction for Jihua, it was the turn of the on-site media to ask questions.

"Mr. Liu Dehua, what is the main purpose of your Jihua? It's rumored to be a show to expand your influence, while others say it's a different way to make money. Do you agree? A reporter from Mango Entertainment Weekly took the lead in asking.

Liu Dehua's face suddenly turned black when he heard it.

"The main purpose of this jihua is to give some talented directors who can't find investment a chance to get ahead, and the starting point is not to make money in the end. Some people say it's a show.,Some people say it's money.,But I believe everyone won't think about it after reading the content of this jihua.。 If it was to make money, I could have invested 30 million yuan to make a blockbuster directly, instead of taking out the money and handing it over to some directors whose names I don't even know to film!! ”

Speaking of which, everyone can see that Liu Dehua is really angry, after all, Jihua, who has worked hard for many years, has been passed on so utilitarianly, as if watching his children being bullied by others again, and he feels pain in his heart.

And Ye Sumang couldn't sit still at this time, took the microphone in front of him, and followed Liu Dehua's speech.

"In fact, it's normal to have this kind of thinking outside, after all, everyone thinks that we have invested 30 million Hong Kong dollars for no reason, and we can't say it without a purpose, but just like what Brother Liu Dehua said just now, if it's really to make money, we don't need to spend the money like this, we just want to give those young directors a chance to prove themselves, so that they have a smooth way that they don't have to die because of money."

Ye Sumang said that he suddenly winked at all the reporters in the audience, and said playfully: "Of course, it would be best if you could make money." ”

"Hahahahahaha." The reporters were stunned for a moment, but then they were amused by Ye Sumang's witty remark.

The atmosphere of the scene was also relaxed.

Liu Dehua couldn't help but be happy on the side, Ye Sumang's words seemed to be very utilitarian, but saying it in such a joking tone made everyone feel that they had a sense of course.

"Mr. Liu Dehua, may I ask if your jihua is open to the whole of Asia, does it also mean that our Korean directors can also participate?" At this moment, a South Korean reporter with a stiff Chinese accent asked Liu Dehua a question.

"Of course, not only in South Korea, but also in Japan. TW, Malaysia, Xinjiapo, etc., as long as they belong to Asia, young directors can participate, of course, whether they can be selected in the end depends on their own strength. You must know that the one who checks for me is this Ye Sumang next to me, Director Ye Da. Liu Dehua patted Ye Sumang's shoulder and replied with a smile.

"I'll add one more thing." Ye Sumang also interjected in a timely manner: "If the selected director is willing, he can also join a company such as me and Brother Dehua, and we will give a generous director contract to ensure that the director will have future shooting funds." ”

Hearing Ye Sumang say this, Liu Dehua also nodded, which can be regarded as acquiescence.

Whoop—————!!!

All the media are excited, this director Jihua is really good!!

It's not just money. Now with Ye Sumang's promise, isn't it equivalent to having another iron rice bowl? What is the director most afraid of, it is not money, even if you are a first-line director, if you don't have money, you still can't make a film, and Ye Sumang's promise is undoubtedly to draw a big pie for all young directors, if this is really selected, then can't you stop worrying about funds?

This kind of good thing made the reporters present can't help but want to quit their jobs. went to change careers as a director to write a script for Ye Sumang, and Liu Dehua read it.

With the end of the launch. Asian rising star director Jihua also started immediately, and began to solicit scripts from young directors from all over Asia.

At first, Liu Dehua was still a little apprehensive, afraid that there would not be many people to respond to this jihua.

However, the results soon dispelled his doubts.

Within a week of Jihua's launch, hundreds of young directors from more than six countries across Asia had pitched their scripts to the two companies' offices, and the enthusiasm continued to spread. I believe that by the deadline of Jihuazuihou, there will be a staggering number to be born.

"Wow, that's a lot." Soon the staff sent the script back to the headquarters of Kyoto Tianxia Film and Television Company from all over the country, and Liu Dehua has been staying in Kyoto recently, and he rushed over immediately when he heard the script.

Although he already had an approximate number in mind before. But when he saw with his own eyes the picture of more than a hundred scripts stacked into a pile of hills, he still couldn't help but sigh.

"Well, this is the first week, most of the directors have gathered together to vote, I'm afraid the next data will fall some, but I believe it won't be too bad, professionals expect to receive more than two hundred scripts in the end, how many of them should we choose?" Ye Sumang pointed to the script and analyzed for Liu Dehua.

"Funds are limited, so 5 or 6 people are the best." Andy Lau touched his chin and said the ideal number in his heart.

Ye Sumang nodded noncommittally.

He is also a director, for young directors, an investment of five or six million is indeed enough, no matter how little, it is likely to limit creative thinking, and if there is more, there is a suspicion of waste, after all, they are all young directors, what kind of big production do you play?

The quota was determined, and several people also began to sift through their favorite existences in the script.

This kind of thing can't be interfered with by others, so naturally Ye Sumang and Liu Dehua have to go into battle in person.

"Su Mang, look at this, a female director of TW wrote it, called "Mermaid Duoduo", I think it's very interesting." After a while, Liu Dehua excitedly took out a script and handed it to Ye Sumang.

Ye Sumang had to stop what he was doing for this reason and take over the script.

"Is it an aiqing film? There is the shadow of a fairy tale, and I can't call it 'Mermaid Duoduo', it's okay, the literary fan is quite sufficient, and it was really written by the director of TW, and there may be some hope for winning the award, but don't expect too much from the box office. Ye Sumang roughly browsed it, and he already had the answer in his heart.

In fact, his words are polite, for the things filmed in this script, Ye Sumang feels that there will not be much box office, because the literary atmosphere is too strong, the story is relatively loosely written, and the key characters are still very unpleasant, from Ye Sumang's point of view, the audience will not buy it too much.

"Then keep it for now." Liu Dehua liked this script very much, but after listening to Su Mang's evaluation, he still decided to wait and see.

Ye Sumang smiled and said, "Don't just listen to me, that's good, let's pick out three movies by ourselves, pick the ones we like, and I'll try to pick out more ones with commercial value, Brother Liu, you can come according to your preferences." ”

Ye Sumang could see at this time that Liu Dehua did prefer literary films, which may be consistent with his own identity as an actor, after all, actors always like to break through themselves, so the role with profound connotation in literary films can always attract him.

But Ye Sumang is different, he is a director, and he is also the owner of an independent production company, he watches movies, first, to consider the quality of the film itself, and secondly, to see whether it can be marketed by the market, he pays more attention to the comprehensive strength of the movie.

Liu Dehua couldn't help but smile awkwardly when he heard Ye Sumang's words, but when he looked at the script on the table, there was a reluctance in his eyes.

"Alright, that's it." Ye Sumang waved his hand indifferently and continued to bury himself in the pile of scripts.

Liu Dehua didn't insist anymore when he heard this, and happily put the pending "Mermaid Duoduo" back in his hand, he really liked this script, and the contradictory characters in it made him feel very challenging.

Ye Sumang is also looking for hundreds of scripts, and I believe that there will definitely be gold among them.

Even if he can't find it now, he will definitely be able to find it in the future, but he has been really lucky recently, and he quickly played his role as a 'red hand' again, and a neat script came to Ye Sumang's hands, and the content of it quickly attracted Ye Sumang's attention.

"Haha!"

Suddenly, daxiao sounded in Liu Dehua's ears, and when he turned his head, it turned out that Ye Sumang was holding the script and was having fun, and this time Liu Dehua also attracted attention with this script.

"Brother Liu, this script is not bad, it's very interesting." Ye Sumang felt that someone was coming over, and he knew that it was Liu Dehua, so he closed the script, handed it to him, and recommended it at the same time.

"Really?" Liu Dehua is very curious, he can be evaluated by Ye Sumang as very interesting, he wants to see what kind of script it is.

In my hand, the script was very clean, and when I opened the first page, there was a title written on it, and the name of this script was called "People in Embarrassment". (To be continued......)
