Ye Qing heard the words and turned around.
It was difficult to tell the woman's age. She looked older than Ye Qing, but he didn't know how much older she was.
It was possible to say that she was four or five years old, or even older.
Ye Qing smiled and asked what was the matter. He was slightly drunk, but his mind was still clear, so he could remember who this woman was.
She should be the representative of Qingyu Media, Dong Mei. Qingyu Media was a second-tier company in China, and Dong Mei was one of the managers with the most artists under her management. Later, Dong Mei set up a film and television company, mainly to help artists shoot music videos.
With the development of the electronic network, all industries related to singing declined rapidly.
Dong Mei's company was no exception, but she had a wide network in the industry, and she had many popular stars under her management.
Dong Mei used her unique vision to pick two historical palace dramas that didn't seem to be outstanding, but once they were released, the ratings rose steadily, and Qingyu Media came back to life.
Last year, Qingyu Media Company released a movie called 'My Gluttonous Lazy Son'.
It was this seemingly clichéd name that became the biggest dark horse of 2017 among the small budget films.
With an investment of 12 million yuan, it achieved nearly 900 million yuan at the box office, shocking the entire film and television industry.
Ye Qing had also watched the movie, which was why Ye Qing could remember the name of her company. This movie almost made Ye Qing's stomach hurt from laughing.
"Mr. Ye, I'm the representative of Qingyu Media, I'm …"
"Sister Dong, I know you. Your company's movie last year was very good." Ye Qing raised his wine glass, indicating that she didn't need to introduce herself.
"Mr. Ye, you remember me?" Dong Mei was very surprised. There were nearly 200 people in the hotel today, and her Qingyu Media company didn't even have a chance to familiarize herself with them.
As the saying goes, beautiful women always attract attention, but in this place, the word "beautiful" could only be used to describe it. Not to mention the several workplace beauties on the side of the Monster Industry that people have to pay attention to, just the new flower stars brought by these big bosses can form a national talent show that competes for beauty.
With her age, she didn't have the advantage of being remembered.
"Sister Dong is so charming. Of course I will remember you." As Ye Qing spoke, he walked a few steps through the crowd and came to the grassy fence where there were fewer guests. He smiled and asked, "Sister Dong, are you looking for me about the cooperation?"
Hearing the praise, Dong Mei smiled bitterly and said, "It's about the next movie."
"What's the theme? Last year's' My Gluttonous Lazy Son 'was too funny. If the new movie is released, I'll definitely watch it."
Dong Mei's face was slightly red. The film and television industry was often associated with art and elegance. The name of their company's movie was really a bit cliché. Every time it was mentioned, it would make her blush.
"It's also a comedy. It's called … 'My Well'. It was originally scheduled to be released next week."
This name was still vulgar and not suitable to be mentioned in such an occasion.
"Mr. Ye, how many holographic glasses do you think … After a week, how many holographic glasses will be sold?" Dong Mei's words were not suitable to be spoken in public.
"The early sales of holographic glasses definitely won't be able to threaten the box office of a movie." Ye Qing probably understood her subtext. "Listening to Mei Jie's meaning, are you planning to focus on the next movie online?"
"Can I?" Dong Mei's eyes flashed with hope.
"I'm afraid it'll be difficult." Ye Qing was a bit curious about Dong Mei's idea. "If your next movie is a comedy, and the quality is maintained, it's not impossible for the box office to exceed one billion yuan, right?"
"One billion yuan in the box office of the offline theater, including our new users in virtual reality, Sister Mei should be happy, right?"
Dong Mei's worry deepened. She quietly looked around and then hesitantly took out a phone from her bag.
She turned on the phone and showed a message she received ten minutes ago to Ye Qing.
Sender: Boss Pan.
[Qingyu Media Company did a great job.]
[Don't you want to rely on the big tree, Monster Industries? Then don't come to me for the new movie you're going to release next week.]
All the movie theaters that were previously discussed were canceled.
"Boss Pan?" Ye Qing remembered that among the big shots, only one of them had the surname Pan. He was the boss of Glory Film and Television, Pan Dong.
"Mr. Ye, we've already discussed this movie with Glory Film and Television. They'll be responsible for the offline theatrical distribution, but when I decided to stand on your side, Boss Pan sent me a message."
Dong Mei sighed. "Mr. Ye must be curious as to why I chose to offend Boss Pan and stand on your side at the critical moment of the movie's release."
Ye Qing asked why.
Of course, this made him curious. He looked at the representatives of the film and television companies at the banquet. Most of their business was focused on TV series. The rest were small movie companies that weren't very famous.
Qingyu Media Company's new movie would be released in a week.
Thinking about it from another perspective, at this time, of course, they had to stand firmly behind those big shots.
"Because before this text message, before the meeting started, Boss Pan called and said …"
"He said … he asked me to go to his room after the meeting to discuss … discuss, the things to take note of in this movie's hairstyle."
The smile on Ye Qing's face gradually disappeared.
So that was the case.
Ye Qing's gaze looked into the distance. His gaze was like a knife. "Boss Pan really knows how to live at home. He planned to use our company's hospitality to 'discuss the story' in his room."
Dong Mei didn't say anything. The film and television industry was a mess. Although it wasn't as exaggerated as the rumors said, it was definitely not a white lotus.
As long as there were men and women in this world, these things would never be new.
"Sister Mei, do you have the script for this movie?" Ye Qing didn't comment on whether this matter was right or wrong. Instead, he wanted to figure out the content of Qingyu Media Company's next movie.
If it was a conscientious work that didn't lose out to last year's, Ye Qing certainly couldn't let these movie companies that had just chosen to rely on Monster Industries suffer losses.
This wasn't just a personal problem between Dong Mei and Boss Pan.
For Pan Dong to be able to develop Glory Film and Television to such an extent, he definitely wasn't a short-sighted, superficial person who only had women in his mind.
For him to ruthlessly tear up the hairstyle of a new movie that had already been discussed, it couldn't be purely because he was rejected by Dong Mei.
In their hearts, money was always more important than women.
By doing this, he wanted to give a serious warning to those movie companies that relied on Monster Industries.
His actions were really fast.
Dong Mei quickly sent the script for the movie to Ye Qing's phone.
Ye Qing read it carefully.
This movie was about an old man who didn't know anything and stayed at home all day to eat and spend his days.
This old man lived in the urban-rural fringe. His only asset was a small, rundown courtyard left behind by his family. His biggest dream in life was to look forward to this small courtyard being demolished.
Soon, his dream came true.
The land at the urban-rural fringe was targeted by the city's largest real estate developer and was prepared to be developed into a community.
Just as he happily negotiated the compensation price and told the news to his grandfather in the hospital, his grandfather, who was suffering from Alzheimer's, suddenly became clear-headed and told him that the house couldn't be sold.
This was because at the bottom of the well in the small courtyard was a huge amount of assets that his grandfather's grandfather had deliberately hidden in the well to avoid the war of the Anti-Japanese War. His ancestors were from a wealthy local family with thousands of fields and shops. It was said that there were hundreds of gold bars in the well …
Unfortunately, the real estate developer who bought the development rights was a conscientious capitalist. All the local residents were extremely satisfied with the compensation. He had also signed and received the money early on, so he couldn't go back on his word.
He had clearly become a second-generation son of a demolition company and was preparing to live the life of a petty bourgeoisie.
In order to dig out the huge family property that was worth more than a hundred million buried in the deep well, he, who had graduated from a prestigious university, had no choice but to apply for a job at a construction site as a brick-mover.
In order to get the idea of the well, he had done everything possible and exposed countless hilarious scenes.
For example, when he secretly dug the well at night, the sound was heard, causing people to mistakenly think that the well was haunted. In the end, the next day, the person in charge of the construction site had the well filled with soil.
Then, when he ate cabbage fried with fatty meat every day and painstakingly dug up the soil, the chairman who came to inspect the work took a liking to him and thought that he was a good seedling who could endure hardships. With a wave of his hand, he transferred him to another part of the construction site to be a small manager …
The following content was also full of jokes. Ye Qing unknowingly reached the end of the script.
"I personally think the script is very good. It's even funnier than the one you made last year." Ye Qing put away his phone. If he wasn't in a bad mood, he would've definitely laughed at the content of the script.
"How many cinemas were you planning to screen this movie in?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, there should be eight thousand cinemas." Dong Mei frowned. "We filmed this movie for a year. Including the actors and post-production publicity, the production cost is close to a hundred million."
"It's precisely because our first movie achieved good results that this movie also has a funny style. From the script to the actors, we put a lot of effort into it. It's better than the previous one."
"So, this movie's screening schedule has already reached the level of a famous director's blockbuster in the industry."
Ye Qing nodded again. Eight thousand cinemas should be able to cover the whole of Hua Xia. Referring to the previous movie, 'The Well in My Home', it was possible for the box office to exceed 1.5 billion.
Because there weren't any big blockbusters next week.
Tearing up the cooperation agreement wouldn't be a simple matter, but since Pan Dong had sent a text message, he definitely had a way to fulfill his promise.
But, how many cinemas could Pan Dong cancel?
