Chapter 352 Seven Wound Fist In fact, there are certain background reasons why Xu Zheng filmed "Lost in Thailand". At that time, the idea of "One Belt, One Road" had already emerged in China. Although the formal initiative was not put forward until 2013, at that time, trade exchanges between China and several Southeast Asian countries were already very close. Tourism is one of Thailand's main sources of economic income, and a large number of tourists come from the country. Therefore, Thailand did a lot of publicity, and Xu Zheng also went on a trip during this period. It is said that he encountered many interesting things during his travels, which gave him the idea of filming "Lost in Thailand". In fact, it can also be regarded as a version of "Lost on Journey 2". Luo Yang's memories are mixed, and much of it is gossip from the self-media. So when he was chatting with Xu Zheng, he deliberately focused on this aspect. Xu Zheng was a little flattered.
This is not surprising. Anyone in the industry knows that the distributor behind "Love Is Not Blind" is Hengdian Film and Television Group. As the main investor, Luo Yang must have a complicated background. "I do have some ideas, but they are not mature yet." When the other party started talking about this, Xu Zheng felt that this was an opportunity. He organized his words and said carefully: "I have been active on the screen as an actor before. Now I want to try making a movie, but the script and funds have not been secured yet." "what?" Luo Yang pretended to be surprised: "Are you planning to change your career and become a director?" "Try a new approach." Xu Zheng explained: "From my previous cameo in Crazy Stone to the current Love Is Not Blind, it is not difficult to see that low-budget films also have a huge market. Of course, the premise is to find the right positioning and fit the public's preferences." Blah blah blah a bunch of explanations. Luo Yang listened to him patiently, then asked with a smile: "How much investment would it take to make this movie?" "It's not clear yet." Xu Zheng suppressed his excitement and said honestly: "I have to get the script out first, and then find someone to discuss it, so I can know a rough number, and it's hard to say how much this number will fluctuate." "Small production?" “Small production!” “Is that so~~~” Luo Yang touched his chin, pondered for a moment and said, "Anyway, I made a lot of money investing in Love Is Not Blind, so I'll invest in your movie. But let me be clear, I'm only responsible for half of the funds, and you need to raise the other half yourself!" He kept in mind one thing: you cannot take advantage of others all the time. Especially in the film and television industry, apart from funding, his current connections are only slightly better than a newcomer.
So leave room for others to cut the cake. After hearing Luo Yang's promise, Xu Zheng was ecstatic. He rubbed his hands excitedly: "Mr. Luo, thank you for your trust and investment in me. I will make the script perfect, at least not let your investment lose money." "I hope so!" Luo Yang smiled and held out his hand: "The rules are the same as when I invested in Director Teng. I am only responsible for the investment, but I will send a producer to the crew. In addition, if you need help in distribution and other aspects, I can get Hengdian Film and Television Group involved." "That's the best, that's the best!" Xu Zheng was eager to have such a relationship involved, and nodded in agreement. But then he said a little nervously: "The general framework of this movie is a comedy, a bit like Lost on Journey. The drama is mainly about male characters, and there are not many roles for female characters." Everyone is used to investors wanting to squeeze a few supporting roles into the crew. Luo Yang didn't even think about it. As far as I can remember, throughout the entire movie Lost in Thailand, apart from the Thai guy in the elevator who was an eye-opener, I didn’t notice any other female characters. So I didn't think about helping Yu Fang get a role. Now it was Xu Zheng who brought it up on his own initiative, making Luo Yang feel embarrassed not to mention it. "Yu Fang, the second female lead in Love Is Not Blind, please give her some roles." Luo Yang smiled and said: "Don't change the script because of her, everything should be based on your ideas" Investors like this are worth a dozen! Xu Zheng agreed immediately. Then the two of them started chatting about this matter. "I am a little old, Mr. Luo is young, handsome and rich, it's normal for him to look down on me." Wan Qian looked at the two people who were chatting happily not far away, and teased Jiang Shuying and Ma Yili, "What's wrong with you two? Have you fallen to the point where you are only worthy of being pursued by middle-aged uncles?" "Bah bah bah!" Jiang Shuying spat several times in succession: "I don't like little milk dogs." This level of joke is harmless, and she even pouted at Ma Yili: "Don't you like this type the most?" "It looks like a very aggressive type. I can't handle it!" Ma Yili smiled and said: "If I really have to choose, I'd rather find someone like Wen Zhang." So it was destined that they would become a couple. Cai Fujun was left aside, feeling somewhat awkward. Seeing the three people chatting amongst themselves and Luo Yang having his own things to do, he ran off to find Liu Haishan with a sad look on his face. By the time Luo Yang and Xu Zheng finished their chat, the celebration party was almost over.
"Brother Luo, you spent the whole evening chatting enthusiastically with a bald man." Liu Haishan teased Luo Yang: "If I didn't know you like beautiful women, I would have thought you were crooked!" "With so many reporters here, there will always be groundless rumors. I don't want to be on the entertainment headlines tomorrow." Luo Yang explained it smoothly, and then asked: "Brother, did you gain anything?" "There are no investment opportunities on the big screen." When asked about this, Liu Haishan couldn't help smacking his lips: "The big production "Painted Skin 2", a project that is sure to make money, even Hengdian Film and Television Group can only get a small part in it. What opportunities can marginal figures like us have?" "It's not like I didn't get anything." Cai Fujun smiled and said, "We can get a few supporting roles." "Tsk, a few more ignorant girls are about to fall into your hands!" Liu Haishan teased Cai Fujun and then said, "There are opportunities in film and television dramas. One is called "Capital Love Story" and the other is called something like Kintaro. I can't remember the name clearly. Anyway, I can get involved, but the share will not exceed 15%." “15% is a lot.” Cai Fujun replied: "It can even fit a female No. 3 in there!" Yu Fang didn't have much opportunity in "Lost in Thailand", but the other two TV series were pretty good. Luo Yang remembered that the director of "Capital Love Story" should be Chen Sicheng, and there were several important female characters in it. As for Kintaro's TV series, he couldn't remember the name, but since it was a romantic drama, it definitely had a female lead. Just in order to cover up the fact that he had invested in "Lost in Thailand", Luo Yang simply used Yu Fang as a shield. "Brother, please help me fight for it." Luo Yang smiled and said, "Invest some money and get a role for Yu Fang." Liu Haishan nodded first, then looked at Cai Fujun: "See? This is called spending a lot of money to pick up girls. Old Cai, you use maids, passers-by A and B to fool little girls all day long, what can you achieve!" "Hahaha" Cai Fujun was not angry, but smiled proudly and said, "Everyone has their own preferences. Brother Luo is just staring at one, while I am learning to break corn like a bear." Luo Yang had gained a lot from tonight's cocktail party so far, so naturally he had no intention of staying any longer. Seeing that Teng Huatao was still busy socializing, he did not say hello, but left first while chatting and laughing with Liu Haishan and Cai Fujun. As soon as I got in the car, my cell phone rang with an incoming message. The unique voice of WeChat. Luo Yang opened it and saw that they were two messages from Yu Fang. "Boss Luo, are you leaving first?" "Mr. Luo, I can't leave here for the time being. I can only wait until I return to my hotel room and find a chance to come out. Where can I find you then?" In the summer, don't underestimate the patience of entertainment reporters. It is not uncommon to see them waiting in the hotel lobby or outside all night. Luo Yang sent a message back: "Everyone is tired tonight, go to bed early. I will contact you in a few days when I come to Shanghai again. I have good news."
Yu Fang replied with a "hmm" immediately. After deleting the message, I drove back to Tomson Yipin. Since I have come to the Magic City, there is no need to rush back to Yang City. The next afternoon, Luo Yang rushed to Kunpeng Technology. Calculating the time, he had not appeared in the company for almost half a month. It's amazing that everyone seems to have gotten used to it. Xiao Wei followed him into the office with a pile of documents. She didn't act weird and handed them over to him normally. This made Luo Yang a little uncomfortable. "I've been away recently. Is there anything urgent happening in the company?" "When you were away, the company was running smoothly!" Xiao Wei stood across from his desk and reported seriously, "And the market sales are good, and the orders have been scheduled until next month." Sure enough, an ambush was waiting for him here. What is this word? The company is running normally even though I'm away. There is an indescribable sense of awkwardness when listening to it. Luo Yang glanced at Xiao Wei and asked, "Have you finished this month's performance appraisal form?" "It is submitted to the human resources department before the 5th of every month." Xiao Wei did not give Luo Yang a chance to find fault: "According to the requirements, my assessment content comes from your task breakdown." Huh. What you mean is, if you want to give me additional evaluations, do you have to increase your own first? Based on her understanding of this lazy boss, probably not. However, Xiao Wei still underestimated the vengeful side of Luo Yang's character. "A few days ago, I reached an agreement with an energy company, and we will cooperate in the research and development of drone battery power in the future." Prelude When speaking to subordinates, one must be confident, and Luo Yang follows this principle. First explain that the reason I didn’t come to the company to handle matters before was not because I was deliberately lazy, but because I was doing more important things. "The investment in this cooperative research and development is not small. In addition, the assembly center has been moved to Yang City, and the scale has been expanded, which is another considerable expense." Anyway, he had an entire afternoon, so he was not in a hurry to deal with the matters at hand. Luo Yang looked at Xiao Wei seriously and said, "As the saying goes, increase revenue and reduce expenditure. I have always believed that reducing expenditure is unnecessary. It will hurt the enthusiasm of employees. So the only way is to increase revenue. Next, we will organize a marketing campaign for all employees, starting with the middle and senior management." The real estate industry is the best at this. When the market is not good, they engage in nationwide marketing. Many middle and upper-level employees were forced to buy houses in their own developments. It's also suitable to use it here.
"I've given myself a sales target of 30 aircraft. You're my assistant, so break it down into one-fifth!" Luo Yang looked at Xiao Wei with an encouraging look on his face and said, "In order for the company to break out of its cocoon and become a butterfly, at this stage, everyone must work together and live in the face of death!" Xiao Wei probably hasn't read Jin Yong's martial arts novels, one of which is called "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber". I didn’t know that the Dong School has a unique skill called the Seven Injury Fist. Ronaldinho is awesome. Hehe, Seven Injury Fist! Just asking if you are afraid of robbery, give me your monthly ticket! (End of this chapter)
