Chapter 1128 Director Ning

The withered leaves always give people a feeling of desolation. But Yanjing is getting more and more crowded and the crowds are hurrying, but there is no loneliness worse than winter, but it seems very noisy.

At the intersection of an alley in Houhai. Yang Dongxu got off the car and Wang Sheng and a few others followed him, walked into the alley, and then came to a relatively quiet tavern.

Some people like the prosperity of big cities, and naturally some people like to hide and play with a little sentiment. For example, the interior decoration of this tavern in front of us is not as exaggerated as the retro route, but the bonsai and porcelain do make people feel some cultural atmosphere. Instead of the lights and wine of Sanlitun.

"Why did you call me here so anxiously? Is there anything that can't be said at home?" Yang Dongxu came to the table and sat down.

Opposite him, of course, sat his aunt Ran Feifei and Yu Feihong, and next to him were Jiang Wen and an unknown man.

Since the last time Ran Feifei drank too much and was taken back to the big courtyard by Yang Dongxu, she seemed to be tired of the skills of the chef of Yangjiayan. These days, Ran Feifei has been staying at the big courtyard and asked Aunt Hua to cook some home-cooked meals.

"Jiang Wen's friend Ning Hao is a new director. His previous works have won some awards. He has a good script and wants to find investment, so I asked you to come and take a look." Ran Feifei was obviously not very polite to Yang Dongxu, especially when they were at a private party, so she didn't have to maintain the face of Yang Dongxu, the big boss.

Hearing what his aunt said, Yang Dongxu was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Jiang Wen next to him with a puzzled look.

Because Jiang Wen is now a contracted director of Huayi Company, since his friend's script is good. First, he should recommend it to Huayi instead of finding himself through Ran Feifei.

"I'm leaving Huayi soon." Seeing Yang Dongxu's confusion, Jiang Wen explained.

Yang Dongxu, who was originally confused, showed a look of sudden enlightenment. Although he was basically a hands-off boss in Haina Entertainment, he still knew something about the circle.

For example, Huayi Company has made a lot of money in the past two years relying on Feng Xiaopao's New Year's film. As for the films directed by Jiang Wen, everyone in the industry knows that they are OK as teaching materials, but they are basically a pitfall when put on the market.

In addition, Huayi signed Jiang Wen at the beginning not only because of his directing talent, but also because he came from a large compound. He has a certain influence in the Beijing circle, and the newly established Huayi needs people very much.

Now Huayi has established a firm foothold with the New Year's film. Even though Jiang Wen's directing career has been temporarily banned, he still focuses on being a director and doesn't like acting. Even if he acts, he likes to direct and act by himself, which undoubtedly caused a conflict between the two sides.

So since he is ready to break up with Huayi, it is undoubtedly a bit of a jerk to recommend his friend's script to Huayi for investment at this time.

"What type of movie has the script?" Yang Dongxu asked.

"Yes, I have." Ning Hao nodded quickly.

Compared with the later director Ning who is counted in China, Ning Hao is just a newcomer now. In fact, when Ran Feifei said that his director's works won awards, he was actually a little embarrassed.

Because the quality of the works he directed is indeed very good. But he only won a campus director award and was shortlisted for some artistic film awards, but he didn't win any important awards.

Yang Dongxu took the script handed over by Ning Hao and glanced at the name of the movie. Then he couldn't help but look up at Ning Hao. When Ning Hao felt his throat was a little dry and didn't know what to say, he lowered his head and began to read the script.

When Ran Feifei introduced Ning Hao just now, he felt that the name was very familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while. But when he saw "Crazy Stone" on the script.

He remembered that Ning Hao was a great director in the future, who directed many well-received and popular movies. But he only heard of this name, and it seemed that he had seen Ning Hao's photo when he was surfing the Internet that day.

It's just that he can't remember the appearance, so he looked up at Ning Hao, and then recalled that he really didn't have any impression, after all, it has been too long.

However, the name "Ning Hao", coupled with the script in front of him. The Ning Hao in front of him is the great director Ning Hao he knows. There should be no escape.

After roughly reading the script, he found that it was not different from the "Crazy Stone" in his memory, so he was basically sure.

The tavern was very quiet. After Yang Dongxu finished reading the script, everyone was obviously relieved. Then they looked at him nervously again.

"How much investment do you want?" This was the first sentence Yang Dongxu said after reading the script.

Ning Hao, who was originally nervous, suddenly showed excitement on his face, and he said excitedly: "3 million will be fine."

Yang Dongxu looked at Ning Hao without saying a word.

This made the excited Ning Hao's face gradually solidify, and then swallowed his saliva to moisten his somewhat dry throat, "That. Or 2.5 million will be fine, it really won't work if it's less, even if it's filmed, the effect will not be very good."

"No, you misunderstood. Then 3 million will be fine, but the producer will definitely be someone from Haina, and of course the project establishment and post-production distribution will also be from Haina." Yang Dongxu looked at Ning Hao in a daze just now, not because he felt that the investment Ning Hao said was too high.

But it felt too low. After all, as an invisible tycoon, the investment he decided to make was at least tens of millions of dollars. He really didn't know how long it had been since he had made a small investment like 3 million, so he was a little dazed.

Besides this, there is another reason for being stunned. He vaguely remembered that this "Crazy Stone" seemed to have a good box office.

Although he could not remember the specific figures, according to the current domestic film market situation. A movie that can be rated as having a good box office must have a minimum of 20 million, right?

Of course, there may be some overspending with an investment of 3 million, but it will definitely not exceed the investment of 4 million. The box office return of 20 million is just the box office. If you add some other peripheral income, it is a typical example of a small bet for a big gain.

Although this small bet for a big gain, the benefits in some of Yang Dongxu's current small bet for a big gain projects are not much. But if you are sick in the head, you will think too much of things that can make money.

"Okay, okay." Ning Hao almost jumped up with excitement. Before coming, he had actually prepared for the investment amount to be reduced by the other party, and even the crew and actors to be constantly stuffed in. After all, investors in the domestic film industry are the bosses, and such things are common.

But I didn't expect that the other party only wanted a supervisor, and the others didn't seem to want to intervene, and the investment he wanted was not discounted at all.

As for project establishment and distribution. This was originally the reason why Ning Hao asked Ran Feifei for help. Without a film company to help with the project establishment and distribution, does Ning Hao have to watch the things he shoots by himself?

So the other party can be said to have met all his requirements, and has not made any excessive demands in return. This made the excited Ning Hao slowly start to feel uneasy.

"That." He rubbed his hands nervously.

"Oh, director's fee, right? You can choose between two options. One is to pay you according to the market price, and the other is to take a share of the box office. But you are a new director, and the director's fee will not be reduced for my aunt's sake. But the box office share must not be too high." Yang Dongxu said.

"No, no. I don't want the director's fee. If you can invest in my script, I can shoot it for free. I'm talking about that. That"

"Oh? What's that?" Yang Dongxu was a little surprised to hear the other party say it was free, but it was normal to think about it. After all, for a new director, being able to shoot a work and give a chance to prove it is already a great gain.

"It's just actors and so on." Ning Hao blushed a little.

After all, this request is actually a bit excessive, but when he was writing the script, he actually had some candidates for the roles in his mind. And he felt that those roles were very suitable, although it was not appropriate to make such a request at this time.

But most directors have obsessive-compulsive disorder, that is, some roles are not played by the actors they want, and they must feel uncomfortable. It's just that the more mature the director, the better they know how to compromise.

"You can make the decision if you have the right candidates, but report to Haina first. If you think they are really suitable, then come up with a suitable reason to let Haina agree."

Although Yang Dongxu knew that this movie would be popular and that Ning Hao would become a big director in the future. But in business, he couldn't come up with full support right away.

Even if he was willing, it would probably scare Ning Hao and make him more uneasy. He suspected that Yang Dongxu was plotting against him, after all, there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world.

"Okay, okay, the people I chose are really suitable, and I will definitely satisfy you." Ning Hao was so happy that he was about to fly to the sky.

Although he didn't get a definite answer. But he knew that the other party was very generous, and it was probably because of Ran Feifei's face. Otherwise, Ning Hao was a new director with no reputation, why would others be so generous to him?

"Okay, take the script to Haina, I will say hello to them. If nothing else, I will leave first, I have a meeting in the afternoon." Yang Dongxu put the script on the table and looked at Ran Feifei.

"You go and do your own thing." Ran Feifei nodded.

Yang Dongxu was embarrassed to say hello to Yu Feihong and Jiang Wen: "I will treat you to dinner and get together again when I have time."

After that, he got up and left. He really had something to do. Hurricane Construction has already put forward a plan to acquire Xinghai Hotel and Sanwan Travel Agency, and he needs to hold a meeting with the company's senior management to discuss it.

After all, the acquisition of equity swap is not just about giving his shares to Li Fuzhen. Instead, the exchanged shares need to be evenly shared by the company's shareholders. With Hurricane Construction's current assets of hundreds of billions, every decimal point is a lot of money.

"Your nephew's business is not small?" Jiang Wen asked curiously after looking at the bodyguards who left with Yang Dongxu.

"He is the boss of Yang Jiayan and I am just an employee. He is also a shareholder of Haina." Ran Feifei said.

The reason for saying the last sentence is to give Ning Hao a reassurance. Jiang Wen and others did not know Yang Dongxu's identity. Today Jiang Wen brought Ning Hao here to ask her if she could invest in this movie.

Because he heard that Yu Feihong and Ran Feifei wanted to invest in a movie by themselves, they should have money in their hands, and he was really optimistic about this script. As for the distribution, he originally planned to find a way after getting the investment.

What he didn't expect was that Ran Feifei also felt good after reading the script, but she invested in Yu Feihong's movie just out of curiosity and wanted to play. She didn't plan to make money from this, so she called Yang Dongxu over.

But her reassurance almost choked Jiang Wen and others. That is Haina, a giant company that can be regarded as one of the best in the whole country and even in the whole world. Especially in Asia, it is a dominant force.

It was enough to surprise them that Yangjiayan belonged to Yang Dongxu, after all, it was a famous catering company in the mainland. Although they didn't know how much assets Yangjiayan had, they were sure that he was a billionaire.

But they didn't expect that the other party was a young billionaire and a shareholder of Haina. As people in the circle, they really had a sense of worshipping a big boss.

"Okay, let's stop here for today's party. Feihong and I have an appointment to go for a spa, so I won't accompany you." Ran Feifei said.

Although she and Yu Feihong hit it off and became sisters at first sight. Then she met Jiang Wen, Ge Daye and others through Yu Feihong. But her relationship with Jiang Wen and others is not as good as that with Yu Feihong, so naturally she doesn't want to say too much about Yang Dongxu.
