Chapter 146: It's All Good News!
After the New Year, the capital began to be lively. Those who went to school, worked part-time, and did small business began to struggle on the road of their ideals again, but at this time, Wang Zhongjun drove to Huayi Company.
Wang Zhongjun doesn't like to use drivers very much, in fact, many domestic celebrities and private business bosses don't like to use drivers, except for stars who are too tired and too busy to hire drivers for safety, more artists drive by themselves, Wang Zhongjun is not an artist, but he also likes to drive by himself.
In the car, Wang Zhongjun can see all kinds of life and those who are fighting for their ideals, which reminds him of his original self. It was the same when he was in the United States, and he was also in the flow of people. Even if he has succeeded now and become a superior, he still misses the time when he could continue to fight, which was a kind of fun that people who ate and waited for death could not experience.
Before coming out, Wang Zhonglei went to find Wang Zhongjun, and when Wang Zhongjun heard his brother's advice, he was a little helpless.
Wang Zhonglei said: "Brother, you are 47 years old, seeing that Ben Wuzhang has gone, what are you fighting for at this age?" Can you still have the same energy as you did 20 years ago? What's wrong with exchanging the shares of the two of us for a cinema line that guarantees income in drought and flood, now the state is vigorously supporting, Zhongying is willing to give up, and the relevant departments are willing to tax exemption, such a good thing and other digital cinemas are spread all over the country, then it will become empty talk. ”
yes, it's 50 years old.
Wang Zhongjun was a little emotional when he drove the car to Huayi, and when he parked the car and walked along the road of the garage to the elevator, he realized that he should really enjoy life, why should he work every day? and there is no shortage of money; Why are you still in a hurry to catch fire at the box office? Isn't it good to take the whole family to the cinema to see the fruits of other people's labor in your spare time?
It's not that the hook under Shao Yingying played a role. It's Wang Zhongjun who really doesn't want to continue working, he's tired.
Bite.
When the elevator door opened, Wang Zhongjun suddenly smiled. Like a spring breeze.
When, when, when.
"Xiao Shao?"
Wang Zhongjun did not go to his office, but went to Shao Yingying's office, and when he saw Shao Yingying talking to Ning Hao, he shouted very softly.
The moment Shao Yingying turned his head to look at the past, he found that Wang Zhongjun's whole person was unbelievably relaxed, the tension that had been in his body dissipated, and he walked down the stairs leisurely as if he was humming a little song after retirement. Go to an old man who plays chess with his peers.
"Mr. Wang." Shao Yingying glanced at Ning Hao, Ning Hao picked up the information and got up and said, "You talk, I'll come over later." ”
Ning Hao and Wang Zhongjun passed by. Even he glanced at Wang Zhongjun, and now Wang Zhongjun can make people feel abnormal no matter where he appears, and he is abnormal and comfortable.
Wang Zhongjun walked into the office and sat down and said, "Xiao Shao, it's still a matter of the theater." Let's talk? ”
"Yes." Shao Yingying nodded and said, "Mr. Wang." Actually, this theater is ......"
"You'll wait." Wang Zhongjun got up to close the door, and when he came back: "I think so, I will take out 1.3 billion, my brother will take out 500 million, and the rest of the money, our brothers will sell the shares to you." ”
"Mr. Wang......" Shao Yingying glanced at Wang Zhongjun carefully and said: "I can only take out 500 million cash now, even if my three villas have risen a lot, they can't make up enough money to buy your shares." What do you mean? ”
"Didn't we say that? You are willing to use Huayi to mortgage the shares in our hands, and you take out 500 million. Huayi has no problem mortgaging 700 million, and you will become the only boss of Huayi at a price of 1.2 billion, and you will not lose. ”
Sigh......
Shao Yingying took a breath: "It's not a loss." ”
He must admit this, the current Huayi is not an empty shell when Wang Jinghua defected, Feng Xiaogang and Jiang Wen ran away, just Huayi Performing Arts Network and its artists are enough to make other companies sigh, although Huayi is not the kind of supercarrier worth nearly 10 billion, but Huayi in this time period is definitely worth 2.5 billion, then, Wang Zhongjun's asking price is not too much at all, and the price of 1.2 billion is just enough to fill in what he is missing.
It's just that after giving the 1.2 billion, Huayi Ke will become a company with a debt of 700 million, and Shao Yingying wants to fill this big hole, so it is impossible to develop Huayi into a company listed in 2009 in history.
"Mr. Wang, why did you suddenly figure it out?"
Shao Yingying was thinking carefully, until he remembered a very lucrative script, and then he calmed down and asked this sentence.
Wang Zhongjun looked at the office area outside the window and the surrounding area, and suddenly said with relief: "I'm tired." I also said I don't know what the hell is going on, it's just ...... Suddenly, I felt like I didn't have much interest. Especially when I'm my age, I want to drive around with my wife and children, isn't it good to live an easy life? ”
"Very good."
To be honest, Shao Yingying was a little envious, he was not envious of the lifestyle that Wang Zhongjun longed for, but envious of Wang Zhongjun's ability to think about it. Take him as an example, now he is also qualified to do nothing to enjoy life, but can he go? He didn't win a single award on the big screen, he just became a first-line in China, and he just had box office appeal.
"Okay, Mr. Wang, I'll find an accounting company to estimate the price, and then go to the bank to talk, it is estimated that it won't be long before we can sit down and sign the contract."
Shao Yingying finally got the entire Huayi in his hands, and Wang Zhongjun got a digital cinema.
Next, Shao Yingying was busy again, the company first gave Feng Xiaogang a 100 million project "Assembly Number", and then successively set up two crews of "Palace" and "Borrowed Gun", and finally just finished busy, and "Go to the End" is about to start again. When he was busy here, Shao Yingying finally got a good news, that is, "The Grandmaster" was shortlisted for six awards at the Golden Rooster Awards, namely Best Actor and Actress; Best Cinematography; Best Director; Best Supporting Actor and Best Feature Film.
The best supporting actor is Ma San, played by Shao Yingying, was shortlisted, but the best actor and actress need to face competition from "The City Full of Golden Armor", "Serial Bureau", "Tokyo Trial", "Curiosity Kills the Cat" and "The Ballad of Yunshui".
The good news is not over, as soon as the news of the Golden Rooster Award finalists came, Wang Jiawei made a phone call: "Boss Shao, why hasn't our company responded to the finalists of the Golden Rooster Awards?" If I delay it any longer, I'm afraid I'll miss it. ”
Academy Awards?
The Hong Kong Academy Awards?
Why does Shao Yingying feel that he seems to have never heard of the news from the Academy Awards?
On that day, the whole company searched for Wen Jiàn, and Shao Yingying finally remembered to call Wang Zhongjun, Wang Zhongjun was preparing to go to sea on Qingdao, fortunately he hadn't left yet, otherwise things would probably have been delayed.
"I'm sorry, Xiao Shao, it's my fault, I'm in a hurry to experience retirement life, and I forgot about it. The Academy Awards did contact Huayi, but haven't I been at work since I told you that day? ”
Shao Yingying hung up the phone and rushed into Wang Zhongjun's unlocked office, and sure enough, a fax was found in the pile of papers on Wang Zhongjun's desk.
The 2007 Academy Awards will be held on the evening of April 15th!
There is only one month left, and if you miss it, maybe the entire "Grandmaster" will pass by the Xiangjiang Academy Awards!
The finalist of "The Grandmaster" at the Academy Awards is slightly different from the Golden Rooster Award, in addition to the best actor and actress, the best supporting actor, best director, best cinematography, and best editing are also shortlisted.
Shao Yingying hurriedly asked the secretary to respond to the Academy Awards, and at the same time, the accounting company hired by Shao Yingying and the bank respectively reported that the bank approved Huayi's application for a loan of 1 billion.
Yes, Shao Yingying did not only borrow 700 million, in fact, the current internal liquidity of Huayi is enough for all the crews to start work next year, he only needs to borrow 700 million, but Shao Yingying still has one thing to do, he wants to make a quick buck, so these 300 million are start-up funds.
Sometimes Shao Yingying wishes that he was a traverser, so that he could know when there was a stock market crash and when he could gamble, but unfortunately, he was not, and if he wanted to make quick money, he could only make ideas from movies.
Shao Yingying, who has no skills, signed a share transfer agreement with Wang Zhongjun in late March, announcing the appointment of the Huayi dictator at a lavish press conference.
For a while, the entertainment industry was surging, and no one could believe that Shao Yingying became the sole owner of Huayi in early 2007!
"Huayi changes hands, Shao Yingying will build the mainland Shaw Brothers entertainment industry!"
"Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei retired after success, and sold Huayi shares to invest heavily in building Huayi Brothers Cinema."
"Huayi Brothers Entertainment Company officially changed its name to Hero Huayi, and Shao Yingying finally put his name in front of Huayi!"
"Hero Huayi Company won the first battle, Feng Xiaogang, who had gone out to start a business, returned in early 2007, Shao Yingying smashed 10 million signing fees and 5% shares for Feng Xiaogang, and immediately started filming the blockbuster "Assembly Number", it is reported that the film will cost 100 million!"
One bombshell after another blew up the entertainment industry dizzy, but Shao Yingying led the crew of "The Grandmaster" to Xiangjiang at this time, and went to the Xiangjiang Academy Awards for the first time.
……
In April, in the heart picture company, Zhang Yimou knocked on Zhang Weiping's door, he had just returned from vacation, but what he didn't expect was that when he just knocked on the door, Zhang Weiping's secretary spoke.
"Director Zhang......" The secretary said timidly: "Mr. Zhang hasn't come to work for a long time, and he has been here since the New Year...... Twice, once to pay us and again, to ask if you have returned. ”、
Zhang Yimou took out the phone, ignored the secretary's and dialed Zhang Weiping's phone number: "Wei Ping? Where are you? ”
"Huh? Who is it! ”
The drunken breath was very obvious in the voice, and the appearance of the big tongue made people rush to the top of their heads when they heard it.
"Why are you still drinking!"
A woman snatched the phone: "Hey? ”
"I'm Zhang Yimou."
"Lao Mou, Wei Ping is at home, come over quickly, otherwise people will be wasted." (To be continued......)
