Chapter 835: The Way of Business

When Wanda enters the film industry, it needs a blockbuster to support the scene. If you look at it abroad, it would be a bit ridiculous. Chinese people all need Chinese movies to support them, right? Use a Hollywood blockbuster as your opening blockbuster. Wanda’s boss I can't keep my face off, either.

There are not many blockbusters in China that can support the cinema chain of Wanda, the leading real estate company. Feng Xiaogang's is one, but the Huayi brothers have a good relationship with the New Film Alliance, and Wang Zhongjun will not easily do anything to offend the New Film Alliance. .

After all, the Huayi brothers have already offended the New Film Alliance once. Are they really not afraid that the New Film Alliance will get angry? As for Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang is busy with the Olympic bid. Although Director Zhang is capable, he has no time to shoot movies at this time. I heard that director Zhang Yimou is preparing for a blockbuster movie, but the project has not been started yet. I heard that he only plans to start shooting.

There was no way Wanda could afford to wait.

As for Brother Chen Kai, although he is also a great director at the international level, but with the play "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin", at this time, it is simply impossible for too many people to believe in the director of Brother Chen Kai. Will the work be welcomed?

Wanda is unwilling to take risks. What if Chen's movie is still a bad movie? Could it be that Wanda chose an unveiling blockbuster, but the result was a blockbuster that was thrown eggs? This Wanda cannot afford to lose. This person.

Therefore, when I think about it carefully, Ye Ming is really the most reliable in this matter. Ye Ming's movie project has already begun, and the crew is already in preparation.

Therefore, at this time, it is more in line with Wanda's needs. Moreover, the two kings Leslie Cheung and Andy Lau will also join this movie. No matter how you look at it, Ye Ming's "Slumdog Millionaire" is also a very anticipated movie. At this time, Li Chengxian achieved his goal and said very excitedly: "Thank you Mr. Ye, I hope that we at Wanda will have more opportunities to cooperate with Mr. Ye in the future.

Of course, what Mr. Wang means is to be able to cooperate with Mr. Ye in various aspects. I wonder if Mr. Ye has time in the evening. If so, Mr. Wang hopes to have dinner with Mr. Ye? "

This invitation is obviously ready or not. If it is said that it has been discussed, then this dinner party will send out an invitation, inviting Ye Ming to come over, Mr. Wang, Wang Jianlin, the boss of Wanda, a billionaire, this is also a A very storyteller.

If the cooperation is not concluded, then there is no need for everyone to eat. For such a thing, businessmen will be prepared in various ways.

Ye Ming thought for a while, and there was really nothing special going on in the evening. He nodded and said, "No problem. I also want to meet Mr. Wang to discuss some business issues."

If other actors dared to say this, Li Chengxian would probably spit in his face at this moment, but Ye Ming's saying this didn't seem to be out of place at all.

After all, it is said that Ye next year can achieve such great results at such a young age. No matter how you look at it, it is a very rare thing. On this aspect, Ye Ming did quite well.

At this time, he was indeed qualified to discuss business with Wang Jianlin. Even Wang Jianlin told Li Chengxian privately that it was quite remarkable for Ye Ming to be able to achieve this level at his age.

Li Chengxian was also very happy and said: "Okay, Jingcheng Hotel, at 6:30, VIP room, we, Mr. Wang, are waiting for Mr. Ye to arrive."

Reciprocity is very common, and Ye Ming understands this very well. As for China, whether this matter can be concluded as a business may be secondary. It is always beneficial for everyone to come out and meet. If we can't negotiate this time, we can talk about it next time.

Anyway, Ye Ming will not change his career, and as the boss of Wanda Cinema Line, Wang Jianlin will not retreat easily. Therefore, even if no business can be negotiated this time, there will be opportunities for us to cooperate again in the future. Sometimes, a banquet just needs an excuse.

And Wanda and Ye Ming's cooperation in "Slumdog Millionaire" is a good excuse at this time.

When seeing Wang Jianlin for the first time, most people will think that this person is a civil servant. This is the first impression Wang Jianlin gives. He doesn't look like a billionaire at all. Ye Ming was brought in by the waiter, and Wang Jianlin, who was sitting in the main seat, stood up.

As the master, Wang Jianlin's ability to stand up is already a huge honor.

Ye Ming hurriedly walked over, shook hands and said: "Mr. Wang, I have admired your name for a long time. I never thought that you would also enter the film market. It seems that our good days are coming to an end. You said you already have so much money, Why are you competing for jobs with us in the film industry? It seems like you, Wanda, are not short of money."

Wanda is indeed not short of money. At this time, Wang Jianlin said with a smile: "This is actually what I am like. As long as I am interested in a profitable business, I want to try it, not to mention. The country obviously wants to To promote the development of the film market, if I don’t take advantage of this opportunity to enter, it will not be easy to enter in the future.”

When they met for the first time, both of them left a very deep impression on each other. A young man of Ye Ming's age actually said that he was chatting and laughing after seeing him, and he didn't feel nervous at all. This surprised Wang Jianlin very much.

Wang Jianlin's momentum is also very oppressive. Even among people of Wang Jianlin's generation, Wang Jianlin's aura is very powerful. But looking at Ye Ming, meeting Wang Jianlin for the first time seemed to be very relaxed as if they were old friends. This is not a simple thing.

Such a question made Wang Jianlin take a look at Ye Minggao. The words Wang Jianlin said are actually a true reflection of himself, with a vicious look. This is Ye Ming's evaluation of Wang Jianlin.

Ye Ming can do this because Ye Ming is a reborn person, but Wang Jianlin can also do this, which is quite not easy. This proves that Wang Jianlin is a person with a very keen sense of smell.

It is very difficult for people like this to do business without making a fortune. After sitting down, the two of them did not start talking about movies. This made Li Chengxian who was accompanying him very surprised. Eva Oh.

In fact, the reason why the boss and Ye Ming, the actor, can have any communication is probably because of the movie. Therefore, on such a matter, what the two of them should talk about after meeting is the movie.

It didn't occur to me that they didn't do that at all. Wang Jianlin showed a very kind smile and said: "Mr. Ye entered the theater market earlier than us, and he said that he would join forces with a giant like Quantum Fund. I was a little confused. Why did Mr. Ye do this at that time?" Let it go. If you hadn't let it go at that time, it would have been impossible for the people from the New Film Alliance to gain control of Brilliant Cinemas. And with Quantum Fund backing them, even the New Film Alliance wouldn't be able to do much with you. ."

In other words, at that time, even if Ye Ming did not agree to Brilliant Cinemas to join the New Film Alliance, it would not be a big deal. Regarding such a problem, Ye Ming's own problems, more What is more important is Ye Ming's error in judgment, which expresses their own feelings on this matter. This mistake is very low-level and very inappropriate.

Ye Ming said helplessly: "Mr. Wang is also a businessman. There are some things I won't say more about.

Some things are not what I want to do. You should understand this. Many times, I may not be able to do things if I want to. At that time, I even said that I wanted to do "Slumdog Millionaire". The movie was shot in Hong Kong City. It was a coincidence. I got the guarantee from my boss that as long as there were no problems with the general direction of my movie, there would be no problems with the shooting. Only then did I have the opportunity to shoot this movie in the Mainland. .

I am also very helpless about the theater chain. Moreover, I felt that the golden opportunity for the theater chain had not come at that time. Although I temporarily joined the theater chain to the New Film Alliance, the contract stipulated that it would not be very difficult for me to take it back. Let the people from the New Film League rent it out. When the golden period comes, it won't be too late. "

Wang Jianlin had thought about why Ye Ming did what he did, and even thought that Ye Ming had no choice but to listen to Ye Ming talk about it now. It seemed that Ye Ming felt that the theater chain was not very good in his hands, so he directly It was loaned to the New Film League, which was a temporary escape from the limelight.

Therefore, in such a situation, Wang Jianlin thought for a moment before saying: "If Mr. Ye didn't say anything about this, I think few people would really understand what it meant.

Under such a situation, many people don't understand why Mr. Ye left the theater chain alone and instead went into the website business. But now it seems that Mr. Ye's choice is indeed very correct. We at Wanda actually had this idea from the beginning. But what I saw at that time was that the environment in theaters was not good, so I turned my attention to football and did it for two years. It was pretty good and I had some achievements. "

Wanda has indeed made some achievements in football, dominating the football market. Ye Ming thought about China Football for a while, and then thought about sitting with a businessman like Wang Jianlin. If he said he didn't come up with some useful information, then in such a situation, he would be looked down upon.

Especially the kind of person who said that he was still very young. At this time, Ye Ming thought for a while and said: "I have heard of Mr. Wang playing football for a long time. It is not only good. He has achieved great results." , quite amazing. But when Mr. Wang is engaged in football, he probably doesn’t just mean that he likes the football industry, right?"

It looks like Wang Jianlin is talking to a billionaire.

Every move will be amplified by the outside world. So what does he want to do. That all means it can be misunderstood.

Therefore, when it comes to investing in football, almost all Chinese people who watch TV know what kind of virtue Chinese football is.

Therefore, Wang Jianlin's investment in football may not be as simple as his purpose. When Wang Jianlin heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Li Chengxian. It seemed that he could see the innocent look in this guy's eyes, not to mention why he invested in football. It probably meant that even Li Chengxian might not be able to know the deeper truth. meaning. But Ye Ming, a young man, was able to explain this matter in one breath. How could no one be surprised by this? Wang Jianlin was surprised.

Therefore, Wang Jianlin paused, obviously not very convinced.

This expression actually surprised Li Chengxian even more. As a veteran of Wanda, Li Chengxian was obviously very attached to Wang Jianlin. Wang Jianlin was a very restrained person. Even when he sent his son to study abroad, Wang Jianlin's expression did not change. any changes.

But obviously, now Ye Ming was just saying a few words casually, but he actually said that he could talk about Wang Jianlin's psychological side.

How could this not surprise Wang Jianlin? After Wang Jianlin looked at Ye Ming for a while, he finally recovered. He waved to Li Chengxian and said: "Old Li, you go out first. I have something to discuss with Mr. Ye alone. If you don't have my instructions, If so, no one can come in."

Ye Ming's shock to Wang Jianlin was simply too great. Therefore, in such a situation, Wang Jianlin must figure out what is going on. Why does Ye Ming know this matter so well?

Li Chengxian knew that the boss had started to take it seriously. What was the last time the boss took something seriously? It seemed like he said, forget it, get out. Ye Ming and Wang Jianlin were the only two people left in the VIP room.

At this time, Wang Jianlin said very seriously: "There are not many people who can clearly see the inside story. How does Mr. Ye think that my investment in football is not just about liking football?"

Ye Ming smiled and said in a more teasing tone: "Guess, I guessed, okay, I will tell Mr. Wang a joke first, maybe it means that after hearing this joke, Mr. Wang will understand something." matter.

He said that in a question-and-answer competition, the host asked two quick-answer questions. First, what kind of sports do people watch that make people very angry? One player immediately answered this question [Football. 】The second question, the host asked, second, what sports can make people more angry than watching football. This player was the first to get all the answers and immediately said: [Chinese Football].

Therefore, it can be seen that Huaxia Football has no possibility of making money at all. It is purely a money-burning industry and cannot be afforded by ordinary rich people. "

Wang Jianlin was actually very clear about Ye Ming's words. In such a situation, Wang Jianlin also spoke about this issue very seriously for the first time: "China Football, this is interesting. In fact, you just said that there are some things It’s not that you won’t do it if you want to. Some things must be done. Just like this time, I actually don’t like doing it this way.

But if I do it this way, it doesn’t mean that there are no benefits. Our advantage is that it is easier to acquire land. As for making money, I don’t expect football to make any money for me. What I want is fame. Do you understand fame?

If you think about it carefully, in such a situation, it is similar to what you did. However, I didn’t lose money, I just gained fame. "

For a wealthy man like Wang Jianlin, in such a situation, if he says he is not making money, he is losing money.

Ye Ming felt that such a thing was not enough, so he immediately said: "In fact, Mr. Wang just played around with this matter and explained it to the superiors. Football, especially speaking Chinese football is not that easy to play. There are many interests involved in such a matter. If you play for a long time, it is easy to get stuck. Once you get stuck, it will not be easy to get out.

Therefore, I suggest that it is better for Wanda Group to be more cautious on such an issue. Regarding such a thing, some of the things I mentioned are difficult for me to explain clearly, but Chinese football is really a bottomless pit. "

Ye Ming did not explain why he said this, but in such a situation, Wang Jianlin had an intuition, as if Ye Ming was not lying at all, and everything he said was true.

This made Wang Jianlin even more curious. He looked at Ye Ming doubtfully and said, "Mr. Ye also plays football. It doesn't seem right. I haven't heard that your brilliant film and television company is involved in an industry like football."

Although Ye Ming has crossed a lot of boundaries, regarding football, it seems that Huihuang Film and Television really has never been in the football industry.

Ye Ming shook his head and said: "You don't need to enter the football industry at all. Just think about who is in charge of Chinese football. The officials of the Football Association are within the system. In a football like this, if you just want to play it, forget it. Don't take it too seriously. If you get two champions, your brother will take care of them. You don't have to worry about the rest. Otherwise, you will regret it.

Maybe you don't believe me when I say something like this, but if Mr. Wang insists on doing it like this, you will find in the future that I did not deceive you. "

If you ask Ye Ming to say something, you will know how many referees and players of Huaxia Football have entered. By then you will be disappointed with Chinese football. But Ye Ming would never say that. Therefore, in such a situation, if Wang Jianlin said that he believed Ye Ming, then he would withdraw. If he did not want to believe it, Ye Ming would not explain it.

Wang Jianlin hesitated and said, "Okay, let me avoid the risk." After making a phone call, Li Chengxian came in. Wang Jianlin immediately said: "Old Li, you go and make arrangements. We will revise the football group's plan and gradually withdraw. If you really can’t get away, control an additional subsidiary to do it. Anyway, don’t let others find out about the group.”

Wang Jianlin is not a big scarer, nor is he a big fool. It doesn't mean that he will believe Ye Ming if he cheats a little bit. In fact, Wang Jianlin himself knows much more about China's officialdom than Ye Ming.

Ye Ming's words were just a word to wake up the dreamer. Wang Jianlin has his own opinions on such a matter, so at this time, he will withdraw. In such a situation, Ye Ming's real role is just to attract others.

But even so, Wang Jianlin gave Ye Ming a high look at this moment. In the past, Wang Jianlin thought that Ye Ming was just a lucky little guy who might have good acting skills. Well, from Wang Jianlin's point of view, what he could understand was the difference between the acting skills of the best actor and the extra. He didn't understand the rest at all.

But looking at Ye Ming now, Ye Ming did a pretty good job on such a matter, and what he said was also quite forward-looking.

What is needed in doing business? Strategies and foresight are very important. If you cannot predict the market accurately, it will be almost impossible to make big money.

Therefore, under such a situation, Wang Jianlin took a high look at Ye Ming. At this moment, Li Chengxian was also wondering. Entering the football industry was decided at the group meeting. Why did the boss' goal change now that Ye Ming said something?

But Li Chengxian is very clear about his position here, he is just an executor.

Therefore, on such a question, Li Chengxian nodded and left. All he did was to execute the order, and he didn't have to worry about the rest.

Wang Jianlin thought for a while and said: "Mr. Ye understands things like this very well. At a time like this, it actually involves official words, so there are some issues that are hard to talk about. In a matter like this, we It is quite necessary to avoid it. It is rare that Mr. Ye sees this problem very clearly. It is not like some people who think that it has nothing to do with getting closer to the above. But in fact, some posters, themselves It is also a good choice to retreat in time."

How to cooperate with the people above is a very critical point. Obviously, in China, it is impossible to solve such a problem without cooperating with the authorities. However, it is even more impossible to really go deep into such a matter. Therefore, how to cooperate with the authorities is a very intellectual question. How to grasp such a scale is very important.

Otherwise, if you are not careful, it will be a disaster. (To be continued)
