Chapter 313 I have nothing to lose to my boss
Just after twelve noon, the plane landed smoothly at the Capital International Airport.
He Maosong had already arranged a Mercedes-Benz business car to pick him up at the airport. After leaving the airport, he headed straight to the city center.
An hour and a half later, the car arrived at the door of a hotel.
"Yongcheng Hotel?"
"This is a foreign-related hotel invested by the Ningbo government. It's only a 10-minute walk east to the Grand Square. To the west is Xidan Commercial Street, and to the south is Liulichang Cultural Street. If you want to eat at Quanjude, it's very convenient."
“This is the heart of the city.”
Luo Yang couldn't help but exclaimed: "This location, even the Chamber of Commerce Building in the province can't compare to it, right?"
"You mean the Zhejiang Merchants Building?"
He Maosong smiled and explained, "People from the eastern Zhejiang circle basically don't go there after coming to the capital, especially the business tycoons in our Ningbo circle. Many of them are also representatives of the two sessions, and most of them are used to living here."
It's close!
After hearing this, Luo Yang laughed.
"Brother, after hearing what you said, why do I feel like a husky mixed in with a wolf pack?"
He Maosong suddenly didn't understand the joke and was stunned for a moment.
"I should stay in a hotel near the Su Province or Xishan Office in the capital!"
"Hahaha"
Now that he understood, He Maosong burst into laughter.
He pointed at Luo Yang and said, "Yes, at the very least, we have to stay in a hotel near the Magic City Office in the capital!"
"Old He!"
Including He Maosong's assistant, four people were checking in at the front desk. While they were chatting and laughing, they suddenly heard a greeting.
A graceful middle-aged man walked across the lobby: "I thought you wouldn't arrive until tomorrow."
"I was originally planning to come on the 4th, but a friend of mine happened to be coming to the capital to do something, so we decided to come together earlier."
After shaking hands, the visitor immediately noticed Luo Yang standing next to He Maosong.
"Your friend?"
This young face was somewhat eye-catching, and the middle-aged man asked curiously.
"My business partner, Luo Yang, the chairman of Nayuki Tea!"
He Maosong smiled and introduced the middle-aged man to Luo Yang: "Zhou Shaowu, Vice President of the Ningbo Chamber of Commerce, President of the Ningbo Golf Association, plays better than me!"
"Hello, President Zhou!"
"Mr. Luo is young and promising!"
The two shook hands politely.
"I just made an appointment to play ball with someone, do you want to come?"
After his curiosity wore off, Zhou Shaowu's attention returned to He Maosong: "A few friends from the capital"
He Maosong hesitated for a moment.
"Mr. He, I have to go to the studio to do something later. If I can make it in time, I will rush over to admire your high-level ball skills."
"Okay then. Let's meet up later."
He Maosong turned around and told his assistant, "Xiao Song, leave the business car that picked us up at the airport to Mr. Luo, and send a driver to follow the car."
After everything was arranged, he walked out of the hotel chatting and laughing with Zhou Shaowu.
Gee.
Xiao Luo had just arrived in the capital for less than two hours when he was left alone.
"Boss, what time do you leave?"
After helping Luo Yang hang up his clothes, An Ying asked before leaving the suite: "It's a plane and a car ride, how about you take a rest for an hour and I'll come knock on your door later?"
He said it in front of He Maosong, and he was the one who arranged the car, so he must go to the set.
It's a little after two o'clock now, so there's still enough time to take a short rest.
"No need, go back to the room and put your luggage away, then come and call me. We'll leave early."
"You still want to go to the stadium?"
“The capital’s urban area is more congested than you think!”
An Ying was stunned by the reason given by Luo Yang, but after thinking about it, it made sense.
As for going to the stadium, it’s not necessary. It’s not that Luo Yang is not thick-skinned enough, but there is no need.
Some things cannot be slow, but some things cannot be rushed.
Especially here in the capital, he didn't want to rashly barge into an unfamiliar circle. Who knows what kind of people would be in there.
More than an hour later, Luo Yang brought An Ying to the filming set.
The crew rented a commercial building and is currently focusing on shooting some indoor scenes.
Most of the outdoor scenes were shot in advance more than a month ago, and even some supporting roles have finished their scenes, such as Su Hui, who returned to Shanghai last week.
Yu Fang didn't have many scenes today, so he finished filming early.
Because I knew Luo Yang would come to the capital to visit the set today, I didn't leave and stayed on the set waiting for people.
Luo Yang was also very excited when he saw the filming scene of a movie for the first time.
He leaned against the wall, watching Bai Baihe's performance while waiting for Teng Huatao to be free.
"Crack!"
Directors all have their own styles. Some like to take the camera themselves, while others like to sit on the sidelines and find faults.
But this group of people have one thing in common: once they encounter something they are not satisfied with, they will stop.
So the more demanding the director is, the more wasteful the film will be. "How do you feel about this shoot?"
Yu Fang put on a coat and stood beside Luo Yang. After hearing the question, he replied in a low voice: "It's good. I learned a lot from Director Teng and Sister Bai. It will be very helpful for my future growth."
"Be more humble."
Luo Yang nodded slightly: "After all, you are not a professional. If you want to make a name for yourself in this industry, in addition to resources, you must also have some real skills."
"Yes, I know."
"When will your part end?"
"It will be over in two days."
Yu Fang moved closer and lowered his voice, "Are you here to take me back?"
He didn't even come to the opening ceremony, but chose to come to visit the set at this time. It's impossible not to do something wrong.
"That's it."
Luo Yang didn't explain much, because at this time the shooting of a scene was completed and Teng Huatao was already walking towards him.
"Mr. Luo, I'm sorry, I'm busy and chaotic here."
"If you hadn't said it was a mess, I would have thought it was a scene setup."
Luo Yang reached out his hand and shook hands with Teng Huatao, then said with a smile, "I came here on a whim. I am sorry to have disturbed your normal work."
After hearing such comforting words, Teng Huatao grinned.
"Fortunately, we are almost done with the work, and the filming will be finished in another half month."
As soon as Teng Huatao opened his mouth, he sounded like he was reporting progress to investors: "If time goes fast, we can still catch up with this year's summer season!"
"I don't care about that. I just came to see you."
In the circle, personal image building is very important. Since Luo Yang has already created an image in front of Teng Huatao, he will not change it easily.
Then, through some intentional or unintentional dissemination, his reputation in the film and television investment circle was established.
Sure enough, after Luo Yang said this, Teng Huatao's expression became more relaxed.
"Xiao Yu is pretty good. He has a good foundation, is humble and eager to learn. With Mr. Luo's resources to help him, he has great potential in the future."
The colorful sedan was carried by many people. In front of Luo Yang, he praised Yu Fang generously.
Then he added, "In two days, Xiao Yu's role will be over, and then he will return the jade intact!"
The pleasant chat lasted for more than ten minutes.
"Mr. Luo, I'm sorry, I still have two scenes to shoot, please take a look."
"It's okay, just do your thing. I have other things to do later and I have to rush to the scene."
Luo Yang waved his hand and said, "After Yu Fang's scenes are finished the day after tomorrow, I will treat the crew to dinner to thank everyone for taking care of her."
He came suddenly and left without any delay.
On behalf of Guobao Film and Television, the crew's producer Tan Ying escorted Luo Yang out of the set.
"Boss Luo, the crew's current expenses are all within normal range. According to the current filming progress, there may be some left over."
"Well, do it well!"
Luo Yang patted his shoulder and said, "When the film makes a profit, I'll give you a big red envelope!"
"Thank you Mr. Luo!"
Tan Ying showed a look of delight, and then before Luo Yang got into the car, he whispered, "Yu Fang is very well behaved in the crew!"
Luo Yang smiled indifferently.
"Boss, do you think this movie can make money?"
After following the crew, An Ying realized that her boss had actually invested several million in a movie.
Purely for women
An Ying had seen Yu Fang a long time ago. In her eyes, he was just so-so in appearance and would not be worthy of her boss's attention. The only remaining explanation was that he wanted to make money through investment, or that Luo Yang wanted to get involved in the film and television industry.
"I invested 600 million, accounting for 50% of the total investment of this drama."
Luo Yang smiled and said to An Ying, who was sitting in the front row, "How much do you think this movie can make me?"
"I don't know much about the sharing of film and television revenue."
An Ying told the truth: "There is no way to estimate."
“Generally speaking, it depends on the box office.”
Luo Yang explained: "The total box office minus the total investment (including publicity and promotion costs), the remaining is roughly half, and that half is the profit that can be shared."
"According to this algorithm, the box office of this film needs to reach about 5000 million before you can recoup your investment."
An Ying recalled the male and female protagonists she had just seen. They were neither Hong Kong stars nor big names from the mainland, so she exaggerated her guess and said, "I estimate that your investment will yield a return of about 50%."
That means earning about 300 million.
"Snapped!"
Luo Yang snapped his fingers: "Let me make a bet. If the investment income is less than 2000 million, I lose!"
"No bet."
"Ok?"
Facing Luo Yang's puzzled look, An Ying replied calmly: "I have nothing to lose to the boss!"
Luo Yang: “.”
Who will Ronaldinho meet when he visits the capital for the first time?
