Chapter 1347 Can I Swear

"Goodbye." In the lobby downstairs of an office building in Wanchai, Chen Tao smiled gently and shook hands with the person who sent him down. "Next time you go to the capital, welcome to our company."

"Definitely," the other party was also very polite.

Just as soon as he got into the car, Chen Tao's face fell down, and at the same time he couldn't wait to loosen his tie, as if he couldn't breathe.

The few people with him were very knowledgeable, and no one bothered him. One of them said to the driver, "Go back to the hotel, thank you," and after that, the commercial vehicle was eerily quiet.

No one communicated. Everyone quietly looked out of the cars on both sides, expressionless. Such a solemn atmosphere also affected the local drivers who drove.

He knew that the person in the back was the general manager of the media company under the boss of the group, and he was not comparable to a small employee like himself, so every time he looked in the rearview mirror, he paid special attention to it, which could be called not squinting. It will not collide with their line of sight, and I don't want them to misunderstand that I am peeping.

The car approached the hotel next to the Victoria Harbour, the driver finally relaxed, and tomorrow he will discuss with Manager Lin who is in charge of the team, it is best not to help these people drive anymore.

Along the way, he was always worried that the air in the car would suddenly explode, or that a person would suddenly explode from behind.

However, he seemed to feel that the atmosphere in the car was finally relaxed. Is this his own illusion? He sneaked a glance at Chen Tao, only to see that his face was still watery, and he froze immediately, and immediately focused on looking ahead.

In fact, his feeling was correct. After seeing his own hotel, these people from the media company were indeed relieved. It felt like they were about to go home and see their relatives soon.

It wasn't until they entered the elevator that everyone completely relaxed, "These people," one person shook his head.

"Stop talking," Chen Tao waved his hand, "I'm going to see Mr. Feng,"

…………

On the top floor, Feng Yiping is sitting on the ground in front of the window, Amanda is sitting on a small stool beside her, with a small pink easel on the side, she looks out of the window from time to time, and paints a few strokes on the drawing paper, very stylish look.

But the painting she painted, to be honest, even the grandfather of Impressionism like Van Gogh could not see what it was painting.

Feng Yiping, a layman, also feels that, apart from other things, her daughter is not bold in the use of colors. It seems that she really has no talent in this area.

The only saving grace is that this little guy can actually sit like this for 20 minutes. It's really rare for such a small guy to be able to concentrate on one thing so much.

"Yiping," Chen Tao hurried in with his bag.

"Hush," Feng Yiping pointed to his daughter who was immersed in his own world, got up quietly, and brought Chen Tao to the reception room next to him.

"Why, not ideal?"

"I'll drink a glass of water first," Chen Tao said.

He said it was a drink, but he drank three cups in total, and the pot of tea was empty.

"It's a big company anyway, so if we go here, we won't even have to drink water," Feng Yiping asked with a smile.

"Don't mention it," Chen Tao actually wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. It was because he was so angry that he was so careless.

"Everyone feels very aggrieved. Now, I really want to yell at the sea,"

"One more pot of tea," Feng Yiping pressed the phone to announce.

"Is it better to pour a glass of water on someone's face?"

"That's true," Chen Tao finally smiled, "I really thought about it that way,"

"Really? Is it really not ideal?"

Chen Tao shook his head straight, "That's true. You said, they originally invited us to come. We are here. Why do they all have this attitude?"

"It used to be said that the people here are professional, but in my opinion, they don't even understand some of the most basic etiquette,"

"Don't be angry, come, drink another pot," Feng Yiping put the pot of tea just delivered in front of him.

"I've had enough tea, I still want to have a meal with you at noon,"

Chen Tao and the media company's team came here at the invitation of many Hong Kong film companies.

They made such a big noise a few years ago. It is impossible for the Hong Kong film and television industry to not know the relevant news. Not to mention buying copyright, they can also invest in co-productions. Such a partner is welcome to any film and television company nowadays.

After all, today is different from the past. The film industry is also a very money-burning industry.

In the past, making a movie was really not much more difficult than having a meal for those well-known companies in Hong Kong, otherwise there would not be so many companies that produce hundreds of movies a year.

But now, with the growing influence of Hollywood, the joining of big names and sophisticated productions are the guarantee of high box office revenue.

However, the joining of big names and excellent production are only a prerequisite for high box office revenue. With these two blessings, the box office is also not high. No.

Especially for those well-known directors, they really make the film companies love and make them. Maybe his previous film made a little-known film company become a well-known film company in one fell swoop, but his next film may very well bring Another powerful company went straight to bankruptcy.

The most famous one here is Michael Cimino, who filmed the classic "The Deer Hunter". After becoming famous, he raised 40 million US dollars in the 1980s and filmed a western film "Heaven's Gate", but the result was a complete failure. , In one fell swoop, the United Artists Film Company with a long history went bankrupt directly.

It seems that our big Chinese director who always likes to use pigeons when filming, in 2000, because he directed "Mission: Impossible 2", it was a big success at the box office and successfully ranked among the top Hollywood directors.

However, the previous year's "Wind Talker" invested 120 million U.S. dollars, but only got back a fraction of it. Not only did the executives of the production company MGM dismiss their classes, but it also caused MGM's stock price to plummet.

As for Cameron, who always thinks he doesn't have enough money, which film company dares to say that it can satisfy his appetite alone?

As for the local area, the most famous one is that Liu Tianwang founded his own film company, which almost went bankrupt in the end.

Therefore, in terms of project operation, the Hong Kong film company, which previously did not allow people to participate in shares, is now learning from Hollywood. When a new film project is first established, it will negotiate around and try to recruit as many people as possible to share the risk.

After all, the box office is just like stock trading. You can make your own judgment. No one knows whether it is good or bad until the end.

Now that Jiasheng Media was born like this, with a lot of banknotes in their hands, many film companies here immediately sent warm invitation letters to Chen Tao and Jiasheng Media.

In fact, Feng Yiping also welcomes this matter very much. It turned out that in his youth, he watched all Hong Kong movies. His impression of Hong Kong also came from those Hong Kong movies. After joining the company, one of the spending industries is content. He agrees to cooperate with Hong Kong film companies, both emotionally and commercially.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Tao and his party went to Hong Kong.

"What's the main problem?" Feng Yiping asked.

"The most important thing is one," Chen Tao stood up, "They want our money, and they only want our money, ha ha,"

"It means that we just invest money, and then wait for the distribution or loss?" Feng Yiping asked.

"That's it, our other requests, hehe, all of them were rejected,"

"That's it," Feng Yiping also frowned, why?

"It's not just that," Chen Tao said, "You may not understand some things in Yiping. No matter how arrogant those people are, they dare not be presumptuous in front of you, but you know that after we talked about several companies, the deepest impression is that What? Arrogance, arrogance hidden behind politeness,"

Chen Tao said indignantly, "I don't understand. Now these filmmakers in Hong Kong, besides making nothing but living on their laurels, what else can they be proud of?"

"When talking with us, they often discuss in Cantonese in a low voice, and they don't understand the minimum business etiquette. Is this their specialty?"

"I told them about your request. For a co-production movie, we must at least have opinions on casting. Do you know the way they look at me?"

"That look seems to be asking, do you know how to make movies? Has your company ever made any movies?"

"Yeah, we didn't have any of that, but, I really just wanted to ask them, 'Can I swear?'"
