"How could this be? They are so famous. If they really want to make money, as long as they ask, many strong people from film and television companies will send them money. How could they live so … short of money? "
Pan Xiangyun asked in disbelief. She wanted to use the word "poor" to describe them, but probably felt that it was a little disrespectful, so she changed it to "short of money".
"That's because you don't know their character."
For the first time, Ding Ning's eyes showed a touch of respect. "They devote their lives and souls to the art of film. In order to make films, they attract investors everywhere, but because the box office of their films is certainly hopeless, those who are willing to invest in their films either want to cultivate their artists or owe them a favor. In this case, the investment money is certainly not enough, so they can only put the income of their last film into the new film. Even before the film has started shooting, they have invested all the copyright fees and director's fees of the script."
"As a result, the new film is doomed to be unable to make a profit, which forms a vicious cycle, making it more and more difficult for them to attract investors, and they become more and more embarrassed."
Ouyang Yuntian continued, his face revealing a trace of respect: "Actually, as long as they are willing to make commercial films, there are a lot of people who would rush to invest in their movies, but they think that the stench of money in commercial films is too strong, and it is a form of blasphemy to the art in their hearts, so this time they are willing to make a commercial film, they must have no other choice but to lower their heads to reality, but even so, they strictly keep their bottom line, and want to make a high-quality TV series, not like those shoddy TV series on the market."
"Yes, this is the reason why I have the confidence to persuade them to sign a contract with Tiangong Entertainment, but my identity needs to be kept secret for the time being, so I can only trouble Ouyang to come forward and discuss these things with them."
Ding Ning looked at Ouyang Yuntian approvingly and said lightly, "You talk to them first. At first, they will definitely not agree, but this is your business. I don't ask about the process, I just want the result. The two of them, especially Teacher Cheng Wenhai, must join our Tiangong Entertainment."
"Well, I will talk to them, and I will definitely win them."
Ouyang Yuntian rubbed his hands and said. He knew that this was a test for him by Ding Ning, and it was also the time for him to show his ability. For this first test, he must hand in a satisfactory answer.
"Alright, I'll assign the second mission now."
Ding Ning took out two bank cards as if by magic. He picked up one card and said, "There are five billion yuan in this card, which will be the start-up capital for the diversified development of Tiangong Entertainment. Whether you increase the registered capital of the company or set up another company, I want you to set up a production company and a distribution company in the shortest time, including the purchase of equipment and recruitment. This money should be enough, right?"
"It's enough, but the establishment of a distribution company has to be approved by the relevant departments. It's not easy to get this done without a strong network."
Ouyang Yuntian marveled at Ding Ning's wealth and generosity. Ding Ning gave him five billion yuan at once, which was too extravagant. But the money was enough, but the approval of the film distribution could not be done with money. He had to make it clear in advance.
"Leave this to me."
Before Ding Ning could speak, Wen Rourou rushed to say.
"Are you familiar with the SARFT? Is it a good relationship? "
Ding Ning asked curiously. He only knew that the Old Master of Wen Rourou's family was a deputy state-level big shot, but he really didn't pay attention to which department he was in.
"I'm not familiar with it, but someone is. The Old Master of Mosquito's family works in the National Publicity Department. According to reliable sources, he will soon be the top leader, which is at the level of deputy state-level."
Wen Rourou smacked her lips and said with a smile.
Ding Ning was surprised and said with an excited smile, "I didn't expect Mosquito to have such a powerful background. Huzi will rise with her this time."
"Humph, the Old Master of Huzi's family will soon be promoted to the top leader of the Yan Jing Military Region, which is at the level of a major military region. Compared with his family background, he is no worse than Mosquito."
Wen Rourou curled her lips and said with some jealousy.
"What are you jealous of? Your Old Master has long been at the level of deputy state-level. Do you need to be jealous?"
Xiaoyao joked with a smile.
"Humph, don't talk about me. How old is my grandfather? How old is your father? Now he has caught up with my grandfather. Of course, it's easy for you to talk."
Wen Rourou rolled her beautiful eyes.
"We are all on the same side. It's good for all of us to be promoted."
Ding Ning said with a smile, but he kept muttering in his heart, "The higher the official, the greater the obstacle for me to marry them in the future. This is really a headache."
The three of them casually talked about their family backgrounds as if there were no one else around. Ye Huan and others had long known that their backgrounds were extraordinary, so they did not feel anything, but Ouyang Yuntian was so shocked that his jaw almost fell to the ground.
"Wen Rourou?" Ouyang Yuntian's grandfather was at the level of deputy state-level. Soon, he was familiar with this uncommon surname and could not help swallowing his saliva. That was a big shot that could only be seen in the news.
"Wei Yaoyao?" The surname Wei was also uncommon. It was obvious who the deputy state-level leader with the surname Wei, who was not old and had just been promoted not long ago, was.
Ouyang Yuntian was completely stunned, and his heart was full of shock and ecstasy. He did not expect that the new boss had such a powerful background.
Although he still did not know what Ding Ning's background was, it could be seen how terrifying his background was since he could talk with the daughters of wealthy families like Xiaoyao and Wen Rourou on an equal footing and faintly occupy a dominant position.
Although Bai Qing's background was strong enough and he was the prospective heir of the Bai Family, one of the four great aristocratic families, he was not as shocking as Wen Rourou and Xiaoyao, who were direct elders with real power.
In Shenzhou, an ancient country, the influence of the government always ranked first, which made Ouyang Yuntian's blood boil continuously, and his eyes were shining. It seemed that he had seen the beautiful future of Tiangong Entertainment becoming the world's first entertainment giant.
Ding Ning glanced at Ouyang Yuntian's somewhat reserved but inexplicably excited expression out of the corner of his eye, and then he suddenly understood. No wonder Xiaoyao and Wen Rourou, who had always been low-key, suddenly showed off their family backgrounds unabashedly. They were trying to boost Ouyang Yuntian's confidence and knock him down a peg.
He was a little dumbfounded in his heart, but he was more moved. He knew that Wen Rourou and Xiaoyao did not want to use their family backgrounds to oppress others, and they did this to help him.
"Then Rourou, I'll leave this matter to you."
Although he was moved, he still had to do the business, so Ding Ning said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I'll call Mosquito later, and it will probably be done tomorrow morning. By the way, President Ouyang, please ask someone to prepare the corresponding materials and procedures, and I'll go to get them tomorrow morning."
Wen Rourou was very active in doing something for Ding Ning and said to Ouyang Yuntian.
"Okay, Miss Wen, I'll ask someone to prepare the materials overnight tonight. Sorry to trouble you."
Although Ouyang Yuntian had been in a superior position for a long time, he became a lot more reserved in front of Wen Rourou at the moment, and his attitude was extremely polite.
"Well, since it has been arranged, now I'll talk about the third task."
Ding Ning picked up another bank card on the table, and his expression became serious. "There are 10 billion yuan in this card."
Ouyang Yuntian's face suddenly became serious, and he sat quietly and listened attentively. Five billion yuan had been used to do such a big thing, and the 10 billion yuan must be used to do more important things.
"This 10 billion yuan is used to buy the cinemas."
As soon as Ding Ning said this, he saw that Ouyang Yuntian was stunned and wanted to say something. Ding Ning stretched out his finger and shook it, indicating that he should listen to him. "I know that the domestic cinema lines are now divided, and the major municipalities and even the first-tier and second-tier cities are monopolized by the major cinema lines. But as far as I know, not all the cinemas in the first-tier and second-tier cities have been acquired by the major cinema lines. Many cinemas actually have a cooperative relationship with the cinema lines. You can make more efforts on these cinemas, and you must buy them."
"However, since these cinemas have cooperated with the cinema lines, it means that they have no intention of selling, and it is not so easy to buy them."
Ouyang Yuntian's face became bitter again. Although the new boss was rich and had a strong back, his ideas were too imaginative. Since those cinemas could survive in the crevice of so many cinema companies and not be merged, it was enough to show that their appetite was very big. "It doesn't matter.
Just try your best to negotiate. Double the market price is my bottom line. If this still doesn't work, then there is no other way. I can only buy my own land and build it to compete with them. But that is the last way to be used. After all, the period of self-construction is too long, and it is not as convenient and fast as directly buying and then transforming. "
Ding Ning said thoughtfully.
Buy your own land and build it yourself?
Ouyang Yuntian was dumbfounded by his words. He roared crazily in his heart, "I know you are a local tyrant, but a local tyrant can't be so inhumane. Do you know how much it costs to buy land to build a cinema, get equipment and decorate it?"
Ding Ning ignored his thoughts and continued, "Buying cinemas in first-tier and second-tier cities is only one aspect. My main plan is to buy third-tier and fourth-tier and even the inherent cinemas in the county. Although these cities or counties are small, they are many and cheap."
"But the spending power of the residents of these small cities is limited. How many people will go to the cinema to watch movies? The reason why those big cinema companies don't buy the cinemas in these small cities is because they take into account their spending power and backward ideas. They get two or three thousand yuan a month. Who would be willing to spend dozens of yuan to go to the cinema at a time? This kind of gain is not proportional to the investment. "
Ouyang Yuntian put forward a different view. He felt that this was simply burning money, and in the end, he would lose everything.
"Haha, don't worry about this. Just buy it. I have only clever plans. You will know when the time comes."
Ding Ning smiled mysteriously and ordered unquestionably, "After buying it, don't open for business for the time being. Give me the list, and I will arrange for people to decorate it. By the way, don't buy some small cinemas that can't be expanded. I need a cinema with at least seven screening halls or more. The bigger the place, the better."
"Okay then!"
Seeing Ding Ning's confident look, Ouyang Yuntian could only agree. He thought, "Anyway, it's your money that will be lost. Since you are not afraid, why should I be afraid?"
"Okay, at present, these are the three things to do. Ouyang, go and talk to Director Pan. By the way, call Song Ziyi in. I have something to talk to her."
Ding Ning felt that he had explained clearly, so he waved his hand and let Ouyang Yuntian go out.
"Brother-in-law, what on earth are you selling? Ouyang Yuntian is right. The cinemas in those small cities will really lose money. "
Xiaoyao was full of curiosity and couldn't help asking. Although she knew that Ding Ning was not short of money, he couldn't do such an idiotic thing as throwing money into the water.
