Huayu became famous overnight

Chapter 111: Just calling Mr. Xu, you want to turn the page?

The next day.

Xu Ming’s response appeared in major media outlets.

This was followed by the promotion of "So Young".

There's no other way. Since they're here and they've given me travel expenses, it would be inappropriate not to give them something.

[The subject of Zhang Guoshi’s new play is revealed, speaking out for society]

[Xu Ming: I want to pay back all the money I earned]

[Master Zhang’s subject matter was limited, it turns out he was controlled by others]

[“So Young” is a feast of youth, with five actresses showing off their beauty]

Xu Ming looked at the reports in the media and scratched his head.

When did he say he would lose all the money he earned?

That's not a pure idiot.

Jingle Bell!
The cell phone rings.

"Bona Film Group? The investment share is still there, but the list needs to be reviewed by Director Zhang and Chairman Han."

"Pony Gallops, leave me your contact information and I'll let you know when there's news."

"LeEco? We certainly welcome investment from Internet companies."

One phone call after another, each of them was from a big boss or senior in the industry.

The communication records he left behind almost cover half of the Chinese film and television industry.

This is the response brought by working with Master Zhang.

A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

This is also the reason why Xu Ming took the lead even though he knew it would be difficult to make money by cooperating with the other party on an anti-trafficking film.

A famous director is a well-established brand in itself.

Nowadays, the only director in China who can compete with Master Zhang in commercial terms is Feng Xiaogang.

Ning Hao had only just put up the sign.

After the release of Let the Bullets Fly, Jiang Wen was also considered one, but unfortunately the brand didn’t last long.

As for Xu Ming, if "So Young" can achieve box office success again, he will enjoy the same popularity as Ning Hao now.

The conflicts between him and the Hong Kong circle and Huayi.

It cannot stop the enthusiasm of capital at all, and may even lead to gloating over other people’s misfortunes.

Two fewer competitors.

After hanging up the call from LeTV, Xu Ming saw the next caller and a playful smile suddenly appeared on his face.

It turned out to be Wu Kebo from Orange Sky Entertainment who called.

"Mr. Wu, how are you?" Xu Ming said in a relaxed tone.

Things have changed since then. In the past, he would always lower his glass one inch lower than the other person at a drinking party.

Now, if you raise the price a little, the other party might accept it for the sake of the project.

"Haha, Mr. Xu has been in high spirits recently. Qiming Entertainment is developing well."

Wu Kebo said with emotion: "At first I wanted to sign you to Orange Sky, it seems that I underestimated your ambition and ability."

If he had known this day would come, he would have signed Xu Ming under him even if it cost him more.

"No one can be as powerful as Orange Sky, which swallowed up Golden Harvest and relied on the Japanese market," said Xu Ming.

Wu Kebo's heart ached.

These two advantages were seized upon and severely stabbed by the opponent last time.

I only remember that after [See you on Monday] published the article, Golden Harvest’s stock price plummeted and Orange Sky was also labeled as Yingzi.

It hasn't gotten over yet.

"I was fooled by Zhang Dapao last time. We had such a pleasant cooperation before. Let's cooperate again this time."

Wu Kebo stated his purpose of coming, which was to see Master Zhang’s new film.

The latter would hardly make a loss even if they were to make an art film.

What's more, this time he has a marketing genius like Xu Ming as his partner.

It was a project that was clearly going to make money, and he could take advantage of the opportunity to get on board. He might be tied to Master Zhang in the future. "Cooperate again? Sure." Xu Ming agreed.

Wu Kebo was so happy that he felt like he was hallucinating.

He said quickly: "No matter how much money is missing, I will fill it all. Don't be polite to me."

"I estimate the total cost to be 30 million, and you can give me another 10 million. The production cost of one episode is about 850,000, and the post-production cost is no more than 10 million..."

Xu Ming counted on his fingers for Wu Kebo.

The latter felt something was not right the more he listened. Aren’t we talking about movies? Why are we counting the number of episodes?

"Ahem, are you talking about Director Zhang's new movie?" Wu Kebo asked.

"No, our company is cooperating with Yu Zheng Studio on the TV series "Startling by Each Step". As you know, Qiming Entertainment has signed a lot of newcomers recently. It's impossible to put all of them into the movie. It's just right to start a TV series."

Xu Ming smiled and said, "I think this drama has a high chance of becoming a hit..."

"What about Director Zhang's new movie?" Wu Kebo asked, suppressing his anger.

"The investment shares have been divided. Alas, Mr. Wu, you are a little late." Xu Ming sighed in a pretentious manner.

Wu Kebo instantly became angry after hearing this, and gritted his teeth and said, "Are you kidding me?"

"Who's kidding you? This "Startling by Each Step" makes more money than Director Zhang's new movie." Xu Ming said seriously.

"Okay, Xu Ming, if you have the guts, we'll see." Wu Kebo hung up the phone.

Xu Ming leaned back and lay in the boss chair with the corners of his mouth raised.

Lao Deng, do you think you can turn the page just by calling me Mr. Xu?

How is that possible? At least if Chen Xu and Jiang Yiyan were given to him, he would still consider it.

By the way, after "Startling by Each Step" started airing, Lao Deng found out that what he said about this drama making more money than Director Zhang's new drama was true, and I don't know how angry he would be.

dong dong!

"Enter."

"Brother Ming, people from Sohu Entertainment and Sina Entertainment have arrived." Xiaoyuan said.

She didn't quite understand why her boss invited both families together.

The two parties met in the conference room, and she felt that the atmosphere was not right.

"Let's go over and have a look."

Xu Ming got up and went to the meeting room.

I saw a person sitting on each side of the conference room.

See Xu Ming come in.

The representative of Sohu Entertainment immediately stood up and said, "Mr. Xu, we have been cooperating well. There is no need to add an insignificant party, right?"

When it comes to online promotion and marketing, Sohu Entertainment alone is enough, and if Sina Entertainment is added, the effects will overlap.

"What do you mean by insignificant? Did you know that our Sina Blog has over one million daily active users? And Sina Weibo, which was launched in August, currently has nearly ten million registered users. What does Sohu have?" a Sina Entertainment representative said indignantly.

"We, we..."

The Sohu representative was speechless, and when he saw Xu Ming watching the show, he immediately said in a strong voice: "We have cooperated with President Xu for a long time."

"Our market value is $26 billion, and yours is only $14 billion!"

"We have been cooperating with Mr. Xu for a long time."

"It was just luck that you got the first place. Your bid was only 10,000 higher than ours."

Jealousy has distorted the representative of Sina Entertainment beyond recognition.

For Sina as a whole, Xu Ming is naturally nothing, but for their department involved in film, television and entertainment, it means missing out on a huge credit.

"Only ten thousand~"

Sohu represents parroting.

An Internet civil war is about to unfold in the conference room.

Xu Ming couldn't help coughing twice and said, "We invited your two families here this time to do charity work. You may not make much money, but you may lose a lot of money."

Public welfare?

The representatives of the two companies were stunned when they heard this. How could investing in a movie involve public welfare?
What tricks is this guy up to?
