Chapter 659: Materialization and Criticism

What surprised Yang Lingyue was that Fang Long never mentioned his son from beginning to end. It was reasonable to think that he had already reached the stage where others would do things for him when they heard his name.

For example: when he was 15 years old, he was stopped by the police for drag racing in the United States. He said "My father is Fang Long" and the police let him go. What about the domestic entertainment industry?

Everyone has different ways to raise children, but Yang Lingyue does not agree with this model of sometimes being extremely strict and sometimes being indulgent.

Fang Long talked about a movie, namely "The Twelve Chinese Zodiac Signs", and asked Yang Lingyue if he was interested in participating in the investment?

Yang Lingyue was very surprised. First, he was surprised at the time when the movie was established, and second, why would he find him when they just met?

No matter how big the investment in Fang Long's movie is, production companies will flock to it, just like Zhou Xingxing, because he has never lost money, and his box office appeal is awesome at this time.

Facing Yang Lingyue's doubts, Fang Long could not hide his smile.

"People in Hong Kong, Taiwan and the mainland say that you are the best at film promotion, but this is secondary. What is important is your patriotism. Bingbing just told me that you planned her marketing of traditional culture overseas. It was great and even appeared on American news."

When he said this, Fang Long gave Yang Lingyue a thumbs up.

After a moment of hesitation, Yang Lingyue said, "Brother, give me face, I have to cover it. There is no problem with promotion, but forget about investment, you don't need it."

Fang Long was very surprised. He felt that he had just said it very clearly. In his expectation, "The Chinese Zodiac" was his last film with intense fighting. After all, he was old and couldn't fight anymore.

This young man is really different. When he mentioned the words "The Chinese Zodiac", he immediately asked if it was a treasure exploration action film about the bronze heads of the Old Summer Palace. This shows that he has something in his belly; if he doesn't participate in the investment, Fang Long will not think that he is looking down on him, but just doesn't want to take advantage of it.

Thinking of this, he sighed. His son is 6 years older than the other person. Compared with him, forget it. There is no comparison.

"Okay, that's settled."

Yang Lingyue nodded. The reason why he refused was:

First, he didn't want to get too involved with the other party to avoid future troubles. He was the planner of the "Skynet" operation;

Second, even if he participated in the investment of this film, the share was estimated to be about 35% at most, and he had to take half of the money, which was a favor. The return on investment was still low, not worth it, because even if Fang Long played a low-paid role, at least, he had to give him 30% of the share.

The publicity and promotion were different. Anyone who had been to the cinema would think that the film was rated too low. Yang Lingyue remembered that when he went to see it, there were exclamations and laughter from time to time, and there were quite a lot of them.

Oh, 2012, a patriotic movie, who else can I criticize if not you, not to mention that the choice of the heroine was really, well... the good lines became preaching, which aggravated some people's disgusting psychology. How can I not criticize you?

Now, haha.

Even if the marketing remains the same and nothing else changes, Yang Lingyue is fully confident that the box office will be at least 20% higher than in the previous life.

In the previous life, Huayi did not want this movie to clash with "1942", so Fang Long changed the release date from December 12 to December 20. Unexpectedly, not only did he not give "1942" a golden box office time, but "Lost in Thailand" was released on this day. A film with extremely high pressure has a small audience, and suddenly a hilarious comedy popped up. "Lost in Thailand" box office must be a big hit?

"Lost in Thailand" was in the stage of word-of-mouth and box office explosion a week after its release, while "The Chinese Zodiac" released at this time took 620 million. Try changing the time, who knows how much it will be. A 20% increase is just a conservative estimate. What's more, Huajuan's publicity is indeed unique, so changing the release date is the best solution.

Of course, "Lost in Thailand" is likely to be released a year in advance. Yang Lingyue can't stop Xu Zheng, who has no shortage of investment, from filming. Let's wait and see. After all, Xu Zheng will return to Beijing to prepare for "Lost on Journey".

After chatting for a while, Yang Lingyue took Fang Long upstairs and downstairs.

Huajuan Films, Baozi Video, Popcorn Ticketing Network, Huajuan Cloud Music, Color Strip House Animation and Special Effects.

Except for the latter two, the first three are well-known in China, and Fang Long is even more melancholy, but he still smiles brightly and happily when taking photos with the company's fans and employees.

At around 4 pm, Fang Long left.

At the same time, Fan Bingbing, who had received all the guests, returned to the company. He rubbed his eyebrows and just sat down, Yang Tianzhen led Yu Ma to find him.

Fan Bingbing recovered instantly. It was not that she told her boyfriend that she was optimistic about Yu Ma. It was her boyfriend's idea to invest in this person's studio. Her boyfriend had basically not asked about her affairs for a while recently. It was rare for him to say such a thing, so she had to be serious. No matter who she doubted, she could not doubt his vision.

She subconsciously imitated her boyfriend's tone and demeanor during the negotiation and talked to Yu Ma. She was so impressed by this tone and demeanor that she was stunned and cried loudly.

Of course, she couldn't let Zhao Yan remove his wrist.

In the end, it was decided that Meitao would invest 15 million in Yu Ma's studio, accounting for 51% of the shares, and give full autonomy. At present, only two conditions were proposed, that is, in his future self-made dramas, one is to give priority to Meitao's artists; the other is priority investment rights.

Yu Ma was once again grateful and almost burst into tears.

Fan Bingbing tactically retreated and chuckled, saying, "Teacher Yu, bah, I'm not talking about you. I'll still call you Yu Zheng. No matter what my man says to you, remember not to use his banner. I've never done that."

Yu's mother smiled and said, "I understand, Mr. Fan, I will definitely remember it. Thank you, thank you Mr. Yang, although you two are a perfect match, but I will do my best to get more for you and Meitao..."

Fan Bingbing suddenly opened his eyes, stared at him and said, "Stop, this is not your business. Some things can only be done, not said."

Yu's mother was stern. It was the first time he saw Fan Bingbing so imposing. He had always been laughing before.

"I see."

Fan Bingbing looked at him, suddenly smiled playfully and said: "Go, go find Yang Tianzhen and sign the agreement."

Watching Yu Ma leaning forward and leaving, Fan Bingbing hummed an unknown tune. When filming "Rouge Snow" before, he felt that this person was like a dog-skin plaster and made people dislike him. Now he still makes people dislike him, but he is not so annoying. Instead, he finds him quite interesting.

Fan Bingbing leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes and muttered: "Oh, my god, what on earth are you thinking?"

Are you encouraging me to fight and grab?

No, if you want to figure it out yourself, you can't just think about it. Just ask him directly. He didn't say it thoroughly.
