Inside the armrest box was a pack of good cigarettes.

Meng Shi reached out and took one.

Pan Yaan took out a lighter from his bag, pressed it and brought it to Meng Shi.

Meng Shi held a cigarette in his hand, put it on the steering wheel, and said: "Down the mountain road, this car is average, do you feel that the chassis is shaking?" And it's illegal to smoke while driving, so I'll just take it and don't smoke. ”

If Guan Bin is here, he will definitely feel familiar with this scene.

This guy knew that it was not good to smoke on the mountain, but he still took out a cigarette to send it, and when others wanted to cooperate with him, he jumped out and said that this would not work.

It's cheap.

But later, Guan Bin understood his behavior.

Guan Bin felt that Meng Shi seemed to be familiar with the role on the surface, and he was easy to come, but in fact, he was also in the play.

Unconsciously, he brought the influence of Xingsheng and Xuanzang and Jin Chanzi in the movie to reality and became a riddler.

That is to say, Zen Buddhism does not speak directly, but relies on some "techniques" to make others "enlighten" themselves.

It's just that Guan Bin didn't "realize", and Meng Shi wanted him to "realize" something.

Just like Pan Ya'an now.

Pan Yaan withdrew his hand and picked up the cigarette case.

Meng Shi said: "When I don't smoke, I don't smoke second-hand smoke. ”

Pan Ya'an was good-tempered, not annoyed, put down the cigarette, and said: "Director Meng, let's be honest, you let us simply pay money and release channels, and you want us not to interfere with the operation of the crew at all, I can't agree, there is no compromise in this." ”

Meng Shi shook the cigarette between his index and middle fingers and said, "It's illegal to smoke while driving, so what about holding or holding it." ”

Pan Yaan said: "I don't know, it shouldn't count." ”

Meng Shi asked: "Does Manager Pan know who the camera director of our crew is?" ”

"Ji Hongting, Teacher Ji. Last year, she won Best Cinematography at the Berlin Film Festival and is the first female photographer in the world to win this award. ”

Pan Yaan thought that he was going to use the director team lineup to say something, and began to fight back, "I also know that the assistant director is Feng Jiewei, but the audience doesn't recognize this, only Guan Bin can carry the box office in "Wukong", and Guan Bin is not enough weight......"

She originally wanted to take Meng Shi out to talk about it.

said that at his age, his previous works, as well as UP's side hustle, will not be a plus for "Wukong".

But since he contacted Meng Shi, whether it is the Hu Xiaotao incident, his attitude towards Cai Chunzhi, or today's crew, Meng Shi has given Pan Ya'an a feeling of being young and vigorous, and proud of his talents.

It's hard to communicate.

Pan Ya'an didn't choose to say what was in his heart in the end, and after a while, he said: "The two of us have cooperated, I will adjust Yaning's schedule, come over here and make a cameo, there is a suitable role." ”

She threw out another olive branch.

Seeing Meng Shi, he didn't have anything to say, just stared ahead and concentrated on driving, and said some details of the contradiction between Cai Chunzhi and Hu Xiaotao.

After a few sharp curves, Meng Shi continued what he had just said: "Manager Pan's phone call in the morning, Director Ji heard it next to him, and she said that this is not like the attitude of the investor. ”

Pan Ya'an's hand fiddling with the cigarette case froze, and said: "We don't seem to be on the top just now, and at the same time, we don't interfere too much with the crew's ideas, we just hope to get enough respect, Huayi has always had a respectful attitude towards the director, which the industry knows, and I don't need to repeat it too much." ”

Meng Shi put the cigarette in his hand to his ear and said:

"The rule of survival is simple.

Forbearance is a line, and energy is a line.

In between these two is the living space.

If you can endure what others can't endure and what others can't, then the space for survival is greater than others.

This market competition is very large, the victory and defeat are often in the millimeter, both lose, if you have more than him, you are the winner, to play to the strengths and avoid the weaknesses, pick up the gaps, in the cracks to survive. ”

Pan Ya'an's hand was slightly forced, the middle of the soft cigarette case was concave, and he said with a smile: "What people can't bear, what people can't, is Director Meng talking about Qingxue Media and himself?"

At the beginning of the year, Qingxue Media's "Thorn Qin 2" was a great success.

In the middle of the year, he Huashi and i bizarre launched a phenomenal online comprehensive "Band".

At the end of the year, not to mention that "Wukong" was going to be released, a web drama and a large-scale costume drama were also established.

Director Meng set up his own studio, joined the Qinchuan band, and had a movie to be released.

This is not called surviving in the cracks. ”

"It's not that Qin Qingxue and I, our temple is small, we have few mouths, and we can still jump, and we haven't come to the step of surviving in the cracks." Meng Shi turned his head to Pan Ya'an and smiled: "Didn't Manager Pan just say that we should be honest with each other, I'm talking about you." ”

He took the cigarette off his ear and handed it over.

Pan Ya'an saw that the cigarette case in his hand that was about to be pinched and deformed slowly loosened.

Meng Shi put the cigarette in her hand, looked ahead, and said:

"Huayi Wang is keen on capital operation, and he was able to get a good account report before, mainly because the film and television entertainment industry is highly sought after.

However, with the bursting of the bubble of domestic film and television and Internet assets.

In the capital market, the film and television industry has changed from the original "fragrant and sweet" to "ghostly".

Boss Wang's film and television investment income began to hit a wall repeatedly, and he once had high hopes for the "side business" - film and television town. It's not as good as it could be.

At the beginning, Wang Laoda's idea of investing billions to build a film and television town was to build 20 film town projects across the country in 3 years, bringing more than 1.5 billion net profits every year.

In fact, since 2016, Huayi's annual revenue from brand licensing and live entertainment has never exceeded 300 million yuan.

By 2018, this part of the revenue was only 150 million, only 3.84% of the revenue.

His layout can be described as a fiasco. ”

Meng Shi rolled down the window of the car, and the northwest wind that blew from the sea in the evening poured through the temples and mountains of Putuo into the slightly dilapidated van, blowing Pan Ya'an's hair bun.

Meng Shi stretched out the lighter in front of Pan Ya'an, pressed it, and a stream of flames jumped out.

Pan Ya'an subconsciously picked up the cigarette and put it on his red lips, protected the fire in his hand with both hands from being blown out by the wind, took a puff, and led the small pinch of fire into a red dot on the cigarette butt.

Her hair was blown away by the wind, her thoughts were messed up by Meng Shi, and she felt that something was sprouting in her heart.

Meng Shi slowed down the car a little and said: "In addition, Huayi's layout in games is also shrinking significantly.

As early as 13 years, when the ban on the restricted shares of Palmfun Technology was lifted, Wang Boss began to reduce his holdings and cash out.

In the past 16 years, Huayi's main business has been sluggish, and Wang Laoda has reduced his holdings of Zhangqu Technology 14 times, cashing out 1.33 billion, acting as a fig leaf for the decline in performance.

In the past six years, by selling Zhangqu's equity, he has accumulated 2.6 billion yuan in cash.

In addition to Palmfun Technology, he also sold 25.88% of the shares of Yinhan Games and obtained an income of 647 million yuan.

The game company is Huayi's ATM.

When movies are not making money, Huayi relies on reducing its holdings of game companies to make profits. ”

Meng Shi glanced at Pan Ya'an again: "Nowadays, there are not many shares of game companies in Huayi's hands, and the Internet entertainment sector, which originally took mobile games as its main business, has become insignificant. ”

Pan Ya'an faced the wind outside the car window, smoking silently, as if he was not listening to Meng Shi's words.

"Yin and yang contracts, VAM failures, Gaoye's goodwill reduction, equity investment decline, revenue performance deficit...... Last year, Huayi was in the closest place to wealth, and all of them were empty. ”

In June last year, Huayi issued a public relations on share pledge and decompression, which showed that as of the announcement date, Wang Laoda held a total of 612 million shares, and a total of 551 million shares were pledged.

Wang Laoer holds a total of 172 million shares, and has accumulated 143 million pledged shares.

As the controlling shareholders, nearly 88.5% of the 784 million shares held by them are pledged.

On 1/17/19, the brothers' personal equity pledge rates were 94% and 99.99%, respectively.

This year, Huayi has made a provision of 3.08 million, 331 million, 360 million and 4.8 million respectively for its subsidiaries Changsheng Film and Television Production Co., Ltd., Xiaoyu Advertising Co., Ltd., Dongyang Meila Media Co., Ltd., and Tianxing Cinema City Co., Ltd.

According to the company's annual report, the total amount of these goodwill impairments was 599 million, accounting for 36.05% of the company's total asset impairment loss.

In addition, Huayi's film and television investment income has suffered a loss for the first time since its listing, with a loss of 242 million.

The once proud film and television business is now difficult to hide its decline, and so far, the national box office revenue has reached 55.063 billion, an increase of 5.4% over the same period of the previous year.

However, Huayi's performance was diametrically opposed to the market and suffered a tragic setback.

Feng Kuzhi wanted to turn the tide with the warm and affectionate "Only the Cloud Knows", but the final box office was only 156 million.

In the audience's shouts of a bad movie, Feng Kuzhi posted on V blog in the early morning, lamenting that "the hero is old".

Blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular.

"Bloody Four Draws", which is regarded as a "life-saving straw" by Huayi, was directly banned because of the director's political position.

Huayi's main investment project this year is "blank".

As a media company with content production as its core competitiveness, such a mistake can be called fatal. ”

Pan Ya'an turned her head, and Meng Shi handed her a paper cup.

She took it, and the wind drained it, leaving only half of the cigarette ash and cigarette butts in the cup, and said meaningfully: "Director Meng knows more about the situation of our company than I do." ”

Meng Shi drove the car to the gate of the luxury hotel Radisson Manor, not far from Fayu Temple, and said: "I couldn't sleep on the train, so I casually found some information and looked at it, and talked about it casually." ”

"I just looked at it."

"Well, just take a look."

"Say it casually."

"Well, casually."

Pan Ya'an naturally didn't believe that Meng Shi's words were just a casual look, and then said.

She frowned and thought about Meng Shi's intentions, and the most reasonable possibility that came to mind was that he wanted to dig himself.

But this idea is so ridiculous - why?

So, she quietly waited for Meng Shi to continue.

Pan Ya'an's experience taught him that when a person talks endlessly, there is no need to guess too much, just wait quietly and wait for him to say his purpose.

Then, she saw Meng Shi turn off the car, pull on the handbrake, unbuckle the seat belt, and open the car door.

Pan Ya'an was a little nervous.

Meng Shi pushed the car door and stepped down with one leg, and when Pan Ya'an almost made a sound, he suddenly turned around.

Pan Ya'an exhaled secretly, thinking to herself, it's coming.

"That, don't pinch if you don't smoke a cigarette, give it to me."

"Huh?"

Meng Shi pointed to the cigarette next to her thigh, which had been pressed a little flat, "That." ”

Pan Ya'an picked up the cigarette, and Meng Shi reached out to take it.

Pan Ya'an put the cigarette in his hand, didn't let go, sighed in his heart, and said, "What do you mean by Director Meng's words." ”

Meng Shi looked at the cigarette she was holding, looked up at her again, and said, "All Huayi's operations and plans will look extremely pale and powerless in the New Year's bell.

When Wu Yi ran away, the outside world said that she had hollowed out Huayi.

Boss Wang said that Huayi can leave anyone, except himself.

Today, why can't Pan Yaan be the next Wu Yi?

Or better than Wu Yi.

Why can't Pan Ya'an do it, the last straw that crushed the camel, caused the light cough of the avalanche, and the north wind that overturned the giant ship. ”

Meng Shi didn't care about saying that Pan Ya'an would make her feel angry when she was next to Wu Yi.

Pan Ya'an's hand clenched the cigarette tightly, hung on Meng Shi's outstretched hand, and asked, "What is the benefit of today's words to Director Meng." ”

Meng Shi shrugged his shoulders and shook his head, "It's no good, Manager Pan and Huayi live and die together, or start anew, it has no impact on "Wukong", on Qingxue Media, or on me."

Or, to put it bluntly, we may need Huayi's distribution channels and theatrical resources, but it is not necessary.

For Huayi, whether Manager Pan leaves or not, "Wukong" may have a little impact.

Believe me, "Wukong" at least won't make you lose so ugly in 19 years.

If Manager Pan stands firmly together, then the project you lead will make Huayi's main business no longer blank.

If Manager Pan has the idea of leaving, "Wukong", as your last project in Huayi, will not disappoint you. ”

Pan Ya'an stared at Meng Shi with dead eyes, "In fact, I won't let 19 years lose so ugly, it's enough, there is no need to say so much in the front, and there are no ifs in the back." ”

Meng Shi stretched out his hand and pinched both ends of the cigarette case very precisely, without touching Pan Ya'an's hand, and said with a smile: "But I think it's very interesting." ”

Pan Ya'an slowly let go of his hand, Meng Shi took a cigarette, got out of the car and gave her the door, and said, "This is the best hotel in Putuo, I wish you a pleasant night." ”

……

When Meng Shi returned to the B&B, Qin Qian handed over his mobile phone and said, "Xiaoyu called you just now." ”
