""1942" has a high reputation and low box office, and the 360 million has not reached the passing line, and the cost has not been recovered."

"The Grandmaster" has become Wang Sunglasses' first film with a box office of over 100 million in the mainland, and Zhang Ziyi has been well received."

""Zodiac" has become a big winner of the Chinese New Year, and the box office is expected to hit one billion."

"The fiasco of "Blood Drops" proved that young actors could not carry the banner."

"2013 is coming, the biggest expectation of the New Year, Stephen Chow's return."

"In the first issue of the new year of the "Cinema Handbook", "Parasite" was named the first of the year in 2012.

""Sight and Hearing" is the top ten movies of the year, and "Parasite" is the first of the year."

"The production of "Dalian by the Sea" went smoothly, and the official Weibo fans reached two million."

……

The 2012 Lunar New Year began earlier than usual, at the end of November.

The first movie to be on the stage is the 3D version of "2012", which has already been screened, and it has actually won more than 200 million box office, and I have to say that mainland audiences are really supportive of good movies.

Then there is "1942", which is not funny, the subject matter is very heavy, and it is completely different from the past movies of Xiaogang Cannon.

When Xiao Gangpao was interviewed by reporters, he said that this is the movie he has always wanted to make, not a comedy, but a movie that wants to bring some thinking and inspiration to the audience.

Although Xiao Gangcang is not a film and television professional, he is obviously not satisfied with making funny films, he wants to make more profound movies.

Then there are movies such as "Big Shanghai", "My Husband is Unreliable", "Zodiac", "Blood Drops", "The Grandmaster" and so on.

Among them, the best reputation should be "The Grandmaster", this movie shows the strength of Wang Sunglasses, he is as good as an action movie.

And the highest-grossing movie is Cheng Long's "Zodiac", which is expected to hit one billion at the box office, which makes Cheng Long very excited, and even gave birth to some incorrect ideas, he thinks that the people in the mainland still like his type of movie.

After the success of "Zodiac", Cheng Long contacted Lee Shengyao several times to discuss the idea of a new movie with Lee Shengyao, and he wanted to continue to make movies on this theme.

Li Shengyao knows very well that Cheng Long's kung fu comedy is outdated, but it hurts to say such things, and Cheng Long may not believe it.

He didn't persuade, just followed Cheng Long's words, echoed a few words, and didn't put forward any opinions.

So 2012 passed, and 2013 came.

The crew of "Dalian by the Sea" has a day off, and it will be a holiday on New Year's Day.

However, Li Shengyao has something to do and needs to return to Yanjing, and he will leave the crew for about three days.

……

At 9:30 p.m. on January 2, 2013, a crescent moon hung in the night sky of Yanjing, and beams of light from the ground rose into the sky, connecting the sky and the earth.

The lights are brilliant, and the cars are like flowing water.

There are people everywhere, and it is a prosperous scene.

In the banquet hall on the eighteenth floor of Binhai Hotel, hundreds of celebrities from the Chinese entertainment industry are here, male stars are wearing suits and leather shoes, and female stars are wearing long skirts and high heels.

There are a lot of handsome men and beautiful women, and the stars are shining.

Lee Shengyao is one of them.

This is the celebration banquet of "Weibo Night".

The popularity of smartphones has added a lot of entertainment activities that did not exist before, and the traffic of forums such as Tianya and Maopu has obviously weakened a lot.

Compared with previous years, Weibo's influence has actually decreased a lot.

However, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and there are very many female users on Weibo, which is still a hype mecca for celebrities, and a propaganda place that they cannot give up.

Therefore, the stars are still very face-saving, and the "Weibo Night" held at the beginning of each year is an ininfluential pork award, and there are a lot of messy awards.

People in the industry don't take it seriously at all, but celebrities still come over to receive awards.

Li Shengyao, Lao Mouzi, and Brother Kaizi came over, and they naturally didn't accept the award, they just came to fill the scene.

At this time, Li Shengyao was one of the cores of the banquet hall.

Two months ago, when "Dalian by the Sea" was just launched, because of Pan Yueming's incident, many people on the Internet blacked Li Shengyao.

However, it has been proved that it is difficult for netizens to do one thing consistently.

The vast majority of people just follow the trend.

With the passage of time, the news between Pan Yueming and Dong Jie became less and less popular, and the influence on Li Shengyao became lower and lower.

And "Dalian by the Sea" continues to release various Reuters photos and news, relying on the publicity of Luhan fans, the reputation is getting better and better.

Now there is almost no news about Hei Li Shengyao, and it is more of Luhan fans' praise of "Dalian by the Sea".

At the beginning of the new year, "Film Handbook" and "Sight and Sound", the two most influential film magazines in the world, ranked "Parasite" as the first film of the year in 2012.

At this time, this is the case, Li Shengyao is surrounded by a circle of people, and the stars are dazzling.

Lu Han also came, EXO was on fire in the mainland, and there was a performance on Weibo Night.

Their group may be the group with the most fans in the mainland now, but in terms of status in the entertainment industry, it is almost the bottom.

At this time, there were more than a dozen people in this group, and they shrank in a corner, chatting awkwardly.

Among them, Lu Han should be the most concerned, after all, he acted in Director Li's movie, and some actors passed by and nodded to him.

This made the rest of the group envious, especially the sign, who knew that he had missed the opportunity, and the company had originally intended to push him out.

But Li Shengyao couldn't look down on him.

At this time, he looked at Li Shengyao in the director's circle, his eyes were full of expectation, hoping that Director Li would take a few glances at him.

He thinks that he has the best external conditions and the best future in the entertainment industry.

Not only did the sign stare at Li Shengyao, but there were also many people staring at him, all wanting to go over and talk to Li Dadao for a few words.

Many people are already planning to take advantage of Li Shengyao's time to go to the toilet to recommend themselves.

The directors are all more popular, and the director next to Li Shengyao is even more so, Lao Mouzi, Kai Zige and others left one after another to chat with the producer.

There was a brief vacuum around Li Shengyao.

"Da Da Da!"

There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and someone trotted forward and quickly came to Li Shengyao's side.

"Director Li, good evening."

The voice is very special, not sweet, not sassy, but there is a coquettish tone, which makes people itch.

At a pork-sharing party like Weibo Night, Da Mi Mi will naturally not miss it, and it is difficult to get formal awards, so small awards become very important.

She wore a purple backless dress today, with white flowers on her chest and two ropes on her shoulders.

In case the two ropes on the shoulders break, it will look good.

Li Shengyao glanced at Da Mi's career line and nodded, "Okay." ”

Immediately afterwards, a woman with an ordinary appearance and short ear-length hair walked over, this woman was in her thirties, wearing a long skirt, looking very confident, she should not be a star, Li Shengyao had no impression.

"Director Li, I'm Da Mi's agent, my name is Zeng Jia."

Zeng Jia used to be the agent of Zhou Xun, and later became the agent of Da Mi Mi, in 2010, Da Mi Mi terminated the contract with Rong Xinda and established Da Mi Mi Studio, Zeng Jia still followed Da Mi Mi.

In Li Shengyao's previous life, Da Mi Mi Studio was renamed Jiaxing Media Co., Ltd. in 2014, Zeng Jia was the major shareholder, and Da Mi Mi was a minority shareholder.

After several years of high-intensity assistance from Da Mi Mi, Jiaxing Media was finally successfully listed, and the company's highest market value reached 6.5 billion.

However, in the end, it is not a company that really wants to do business, and after the company goes public to make money, it gradually goes down.

Later, Da Mi Mi terminated the contract with Jiaxing.

Li Shengyao's heart quickly flashed relevant information about Jiaxing, and then smiled and chatted with Da Mi Mi Zeng Jia.

"Director Li, your "Parasite" is famous overseas, those of us in the Chinese film and television industry are honored, I know you don't drink, I salute you three glasses."

Da Mi Mi then took three glasses, poured three glasses of red wine, then raised the wine glass, and drank three glasses at once.

It is said that stars in the film and television industry must be able to drink, and some people are not even drunk for a thousand cups.

Now it seems that there is a good chance that this rumor is true.

Da Mi Mi went down three glasses of red wine, her face was a lot red, her neck, collarbone, and career line were all dyed with a touch of red, her body was hot, she seemed to be a little overwhelmed, and leaned towards Li Shengyao's side.

Li Shengyao's shoulders touched a piece of softness.

Zeng Jia also drank three glasses of wine immediately afterward, and the woman also wanted to get close to Li Shengyao, but unfortunately her arm was panicked.

Li Shengyao frowned slightly, "Do you have something to tell me, let's go inside." ”

There are many rest rooms in the banquet hall, and ordinary little stars are not qualified to use them, but Li Shengyao is different, he took Da Mi Mi and Zeng Jia to the rest room, and then closed the door.

"Bang!"

The door closed, blocking out the noise outside.

Li Shengyao sat down, Da Mi Mi sat down, she sat next to Li Shengyao, and his shoulders could still feel the softness.

Zeng Jia is a person with good eyes, knowing that he almost injured Director Li's hand just now, so he sat on the side.

"Director Li, I want to toast you again, thank you for giving me the opportunity of "Palace Lock Heart Jade".

Li Shengyao has a stake in Yu Zheng's studio, and although he does not participate in the management of the studio, he can be regarded as the owner of the studio when you look at it carefully.

Yu was preparing for "Palace Lock Heart Jade", and at that time he talked to Li Shengyao about which actress to use, and he recommended Da Mi Mi, but Li Shengyao did not object.

Da Mi Mi spoke, then raised his wine glass and drank it all.

She then burped, then put down her wine glass and clutched her stomach embarrassedly, "Director Li, I drank too much." ”

"It's okay, don't drink anymore, I know what you want."

Da Mi Mi sat against Li Shengyao, and when he opened his eyes, he could see the beautiful scenery on the mountain peak.

He returned to Yanjing from Dalian, the first thing was to visit his children, and then to feed a few women, when he participated in the "Weibo Night", he walked with his waist, and later saw a lot of beauties at the awards party and now the celebration banquet, but he was really tired during the day.

Even if you see a beauty, there is no fluctuation.

He thought that he would have to eat some mutton and beef loin in the evening, or drink medicinal wine, and he would recover tomorrow.

At this time, he saw the beautiful scenery of Da Mi Mi, which made him slightly moved.

Big power should be genuine, soft, not like high-tech.

Da Mi Mi noticed Li Shengyao's gaze, but he was not angry, and there was still a little smug in his eyes.

Zeng Jia was also very excited in his eyes.

"Director Li, we are looking for you this time to ask you for financing, this is the development plan of our studio."

When the words fell, Zeng Jia immediately took out a plan.

Li Shengyao took the plan, opened it and read it.

Da Mi Mi gave the pressure to Li Shengyao, and at the same time whispered: "Director, our studio wants to win a lot, to become bigger and stronger, we have begun to select scripts, select actors, we want to be a film and television drama brand, and produce our own film and television dramas."

I can assure you that we're definitely not playing tickets, we're serious.

And we have a long-term plan, we will strive for good results and then go public. ”

Li Shengyao felt the touch of his arm and nodded in agreement, "There are ideas and ambitions." ”

Zeng Jia and Yang Mi were very happy when they heard this.

It is Zeng Jia's idea to change from a studio to a regular film and television company, she wants to be a predator in the film and television industry, and she wants to be the capital of the film and television industry.

However, the initial funds were not enough, and the establishment of Yu Zheng's studio gave Da Mi Mi inspiration, she planned to find someone to invest, and after thinking about it, she thought of Li Shengyao first.

As we all know, Li Shengyao never loses money when he invests in movies and TV series, and his business vision is terrible.

If Li Shengyao is willing to invest in their studio, then there is no need to produce a work, it can cause a small shock in the film and television industry, and those TV stations will pay more attention to their TV series.

"A lot of people asked me for financing, and nine out of ten of them were similar plans, all of them said that they should choose scripts well, choose good actors, and go public, but I didn't agree to them, so why should I promise you?"

Li Shengyao's next words made Da Mi Mi and Zeng Jia pause.

Da Mi Mi glanced at the wine glass, unsure if he wanted to drink a few more glasses.

Zeng Jia reacted quickly, "Director Li, I fully understand your concerns, but please believe us, we are sincere, and we will fight for this plan...... We are willing to sign a VAM agreement. ”

"VAM agreement?"

"Yes, you invest one billion and own fifty percent of the shares, if our company can't make a profit of 500 million in five years, if our company can't be listed in ten years, then all the shares belong to you, and I and Da Mi Mi owe you one billion."

When Li Shengyao heard this, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Da Mi Mi, "Do you agree?" ”

Da Mi Mi opened his mouth slightly, looked at Li Shengyao in a daze, and did not reply for a while.

"This ......"

Da Mi Mi didn't want to agree to such a gambling agreement, she knew that there were many gambling agreements in the entertainment industry, and the vast majority of them were celebrity artists who failed and capitalists made profits.

However, looking at Li Shengyao's gaze, he saw that he was calm and calm, which was completely the posture of the superior.

She thought that she had debuted for almost ten years, worked hard, and finally relied on "Palace Lock Heart Jade" to become popular, but the resources were still not good.

The drama doesn't look for her, and the movie doesn't look for her.

Looking at Li Shengyao again, I thought that in the hall, all the stars were revolving around Li Shengyao.

If she wants to discuss things with Li Shengyao, she has to rush over.

She doesn't want to live like this, she wants to be capital.

"I agree."

Li Shengyao nodded, "Yes, but, at most, 500 million, you are the only artist in your studio now, everything has to start all over again, you are not worth a billion, at most 500 million."

The VAM agreement remains unchanged. ”

Zeng Jia and Da Mi Mi glanced at each other, "Director Li, can we discuss it again?" Tomorrow you will be given a letter of approval. ”

"Yes."

Zeng Jia then left with a wine glass.

"Bang!"

The door was closed, cutting everyone out from the outside.

Da Mi Mi didn't leave, she leaned on Li Shengyao, "Director Li, I'm so tired, can I borrow your shoulder to lean on." ”
