Chapter 221 Blooming into a Dangerous Flower
"I heard from Lao Cai that you still look down on me?"
After a few sips of wine, Liu Haishan started to talk more: "Do you think she is just helping people to make this connection?"
"Jack of all trades?"
Since Liu Haishan deliberately avoided the name Zhou Yifen, Luo Yang naturally would not take the initiative to bring it up.
After all, this is a KTV. If you chat without mentioning names, it's a story. If you chat by name, it's an accident!
“In more ways than you can imagine.”
He smiled mysteriously and said, "Let's just talk about whatever comes to mind."
Okay, let’s get vaccinated first.
"Have you ever been to a midnight show at the cinema?"
Liu Haishan looked at Luo Yang and said, "After midnight, there are only one or two couples in the entire screening room."
“I’ve been there!”
Just as Luo Yang was shaking his head, a long-haired beauty next to Cai Fujun raised her hand to say that she had been to the movie: "I went there with my little sister. There were only two of us in the whole studio. Even though it was a comedy, it was scary."
"Why waste electricity when few people are watching it?"
Luo Yang thought of a video he had seen before, so he responded: "Could it be related to the box office?"
"That's the point!"
Liu Haishan gave Luo Yang a thumbs up and said, "From the audience's perspective, only one or two tickets were sold for this movie, but according to the ticket sales records, 80% of the tickets for this movie have already been sold."
"Did the producers and the theaters work together?"
"The producers asked for it, and the theaters cooperated!"
Liu Haishan explained: "The night is empty anyway, so let's negotiate a relatively low profit-sharing ratio. The theater chain gets the profit for free, and the producer gets the box office revenue. It's a win-win situation."
“It’s not a win-win situation, is it?”
A short-haired beauty sitting next to Luo Yang said intelligently: "No matter what, the producers are paying for it."
"You won't understand"
Liu Haishan smiled and said, "Some investments are to ensure that they make money."
Luo Yang understood immediately.
“I learned something new!”
He then raised his glass in a toast.
The six girls sitting around the three of them looked confused.
How can you ensure you make money if you’re already investing money?
They don't know that producers losing money and investors making money are two different things.
"Now you know she's not simple, right?"
Liu Haishan then brought up his original words again and said, "Knowing a few small stars as a matchmaker is the lowest level of operation. If you are not an acquaintance, she won't even bother to take the order. If you have some money in your hands and want to promote someone, she can even invite a big-name director to direct it for you."
But Luo Yang did not feel any regrets, he still insisted on his own idea.
But there was still a hint of "regret" on his face: "Next time I have a chance, I will ask you two elder brothers to help introduce them to each other."
"Hahaha, sure!"
The three of them were enjoying the food being fed from both sides while chatting about gossip in the film, television and entertainment circles.
If it was any other topic of conversation, the princesses would have yawned, but they chose to talk about celebrity gossip, and they all listened with great interest.
He poured wine, picked up dishes and peeled peanuts without any complaints.
Although Luo Yang was also interested, he had something important to do, so he took the right opportunity to change the topic to what he wanted to say.
"I had a pleasant chat with Director Teng before, so I plan to invest in a TV series with him."
After the three of them drank a glass of wine, Luo Yang smiled and said, "I plan to set up an independent subsidiary under Hengdian Oriental Film and Entertainment Company, which will be used exclusively for investing in film and television entertainment works. This involves some issues regarding the equity ratio."
Generally speaking, the parent company’s stake in an independent legal entity subsidiary must exceed 51% to facilitate control.
But Luo Yang brought this up here, obviously not wanting this subsidiary to become a holding subsidiary.
Liu Haishan and Cai Fujun are both veteran mages, and they understood Luo Yang’s meaning in just one sentence: they want qualifications, not controlling stakes!
"In fact, you can set up an investment company on your own."
Cai Fujun smiled and said, "You are responsible for your own profits and losses. There is no need to go through so much trouble."
"The key is to recognize the three brothers' names in the circle."
It’s not that Luo Yang doesn’t want to, but he can’t leave now.
"Hahahaha!" Liu Haishan laughed and nodded at Luo Yang: "You want both!"
"Why do I feel like you're very interested in investing in film and television?"
They are all old foxes, and Luo Yang's unusual behavior must have been hidden from them. Fortunately, Cai Fujun didn't care much about it, otherwise he would not have asked him in person.
Anyway, it's Luo Yang's own investment and he's responsible for his own profits and losses.
"So how much do you plan to let Oriental Films take in the newly established subsidiary?"
Liu Haishan looked at Luo Yang with a smile and said, "30%? Or 20%?"
Luo Yang said shyly: "I think the environment tonight is not very suitable, how about we find a sauna room to continue chatting tomorrow?"
"grass!"
Liu Haishan was frightened when he thought of the feeling of being hot all over and unable to breathe that day.
"Just whatever you say!"
“We still need 10%.”
If it is less than double digits, it will be a bit of a challenge, after all, we still have to rely on their personal connections and social resources.
Besides, he accounts for 10% of this %.
"It doesn't matter how much it is. It's just a nominal matter. The three of us don't expect to take advantage of you."
Cai Fujun smiled and said, "I would like to remind you that this circle is much more complicated than what you see on the surface. When it comes to investment, you can only try your best and not just go in and play with it."
"I know it well."
Luo Yang picked up the cup again and said, "I will only occasionally try to invest less than 500 million. If anyone tries to trick me into thinking it's a big production that requires tens of millions of dollars in sponsorship, I will spit in his face immediately!"
Being able to say this means you are not confused.
So Liu Haishan and Cai Fujun both raised their glasses and drank with him.
After this matter was finalized, Luo Yang's day was considered complete.
The rest of the party was like a midnight snack, and we kept drinking until a little after midnight.
Even though it was beer, he was already about 60% tipsy, so he called a designated driver to drive him back to Songjiang.
He did not return to the school dormitory or the rental house, but moved into the house next to Fangta Park.
I forced myself to take a shower while staying sleepy, then crawled into bed naked and fell asleep the moment I hit the bed.
Until my nose felt a little itchy and I couldn't help but sneeze.
Luo Yang opened his eyes drowsily and found that Jiang Fan's smiling face was only a few centimeters away from him.
"?"
"Hehe, you didn't expect me to be able to make it here in the morning, right?"
As Jiang Fan spoke, he was still twisting the "criminal" tool in one hand, looking very proud.
"hehe."
Luo Yang's sleepiness gradually faded away. He chuckled twice and said, "Who gave you the courage to flirt with me so early in the morning?"
Jiang Fan immediately became alert.
However it was still too late.
When he squinted his eyes just now, he had already stretched out his limbs in the quilt, ready.
Just when Jiang Fan wanted to escape, Luo Yang suddenly jumped up and wrapped her up like a dumpling.
"Hey, can you escape?"
Now it is Luo Yang's turn to enjoy the fruits of victory.
Jiang Fan was wrapped in a quilt and couldn't even struggle. He could only be bullied obediently.
Early in the morning, a young man in his early twenties, a beautiful woman came to his door
It would be strange if you were not greedy.
The quilt quickly fell apart, just like Jiang Fan's long hair, blooming into a flower.
After experiencing wind and rain, this flower becomes more beautiful.
"Luo Yang, is your school holding a sports meet?"
The beautiful flower said, "Take me to see it!"
I made up for it at the last minute and kept my promise.
