1086. Tangled Cao Meng
Wang Yifan didn't care much about Cao Meng's attentiveness.
In fact, he didn't care much about Cao Meng's previous expansion.
To put it bluntly, everyone actually doesn’t have that deep friendship.
It's more about getting what you need.
Cao Meng is a suitable director for some of Wang Yifan's scripts. Because some scripts, especially Hong Kong-style script stories, mainland directors may not be able to make that taste.
As for other directors in Hong Kong, forget it, Cao Meng is actually quite good, and everyone has worked together after all. At present, although Cao Meng was a little inflated before, it is actually normal.
Moreover, Cao Meng is really smarter than Wang Yue in his early years.
At least, although Cao Meng had been a little dissatisfied with Wang Yifan's unwillingness to go to the United States to promote "Infernal Affairs", he did not show it.
In this regard, he is still relatively restrained.
As for what Wang Yifan said, Cao Meng himself actually knew it.
This is a fact.
Cao Meng could only smile bitterly.
Actually, what kind of movie is "Infernal Affairs"? Can he not know?
You should know that "Infernal Affairs" is the second movie that is known as the revival of Hong Kong films.
Hong Kong films, Hong Kong films, this is a kind of sentiment, but at the same time, this is also a kind of film.
Yes, it's a Hong Kong Island type film.
This kind of movie is full of the cultural characteristics of Hong Kong Island. This kind of movie with local characteristics can be accepted in China because Hong Kong Island movies were once the spiritual food of a generation in the early years.
In addition, with the same roots and origins, everyone is Chinese, so it is naturally easier to accept.
But the same goes for itself, this is a movie with a very strong local style. I hope the Americans can accept such a movie?
Thinking too much, have you?
"Hehe, yes, now that I think about it, I was really fascinated by the colorful news from the outside world." Cao Meng said with a wry smile.
"Sit down, what are your plans next?" Wang Yifan asked with a smile.
He didn't ask casually, because Cao Meng had a hot fight with Ali Media before, and it was once rumored that Cao Meng had the intention of changing jobs to Ali Media.
Times Light and Shadow are in a hurry, but compared to Times Light and Shadow, Ali Media is indeed more attractive to Cao Meng.
Although Cao Meng is not short of money, at least directors of his level are all billionaires.
But no one thinks that money is too much, doesn’t it?
Ali Media is famous for being rich and powerful, and because of Ali Media's previous big data strategy for films, many major directors were dissatisfied. Therefore, if Cao Meng is willing to join, even if Ali buys horse bones with a daughter, she will never be stingy with money.
This is also the reason why the light and shadow of the times are in a hurry.
On the contrary, Huaxin and other giants are not worried about being poached, because Huaxin is currently the most powerful in this area. If they really continue to poach people, the balance will undoubtedly be broken.
This is something that Huaxin doesn’t want to see, and it’s something that other giants don’t want to see.
Although they curry favor with Hua Xin and Wang Yifan, if they really touch their basic structure, then everyone will have to meet with each other.
Therefore, Huaxin has never had this idea.
This is also the reason why Huaxineng has been in peace with several giants.
But Ali Media is different. What they lack most now is a big director like Cao Meng.
It is true that Ali Media is rich, but movies cannot be made with money, and people need to direct them.
The projects of the major directors have always been retained by major giants, not to mention that Ah Li's previous practices have long aroused everyone's hostility.
But, the giants found that there were really no many ways to prepare for Internet giants like Ali Media, such as Ali Group.
Because others do not lack publicity channels, distribution channels, and actors. In fact, there is no shortage of directors, but they are just the kind of big directors who can make a decision.
When Cao Meng heard Wang Yifan's words, he couldn't help but hesitate.
In fact, he was indeed moved by the conditions offered by Ali Media.
Although the times treat him well, Ali Media has given him too much in business.
But Wang Yifan asked what this meant?
It was not Cao Mengduo's thought, but that this was indeed a problem he had to consider.
Because, he also understood that although "Dark War" and "Infernal Affairs" brought him great fame, in fact, his own family knew his own affairs.
Whether it is "Dark War" or "Infernal Affairs", although it cannot be said that the success of these two movies is the credit of Wang Yifan, the fact is that without Wang Yifan's wonderful story script and creativity, he could not make such a movie at all.
Everyone knows that perhaps the other giants and Ali Media are not in the way, and they are also alert to Ali Media.
Because no matter how strong Huaxin is, it always follows everyone's default rules, at least, knows how to share.
Ali Media is different. This company's offensive and aggressiveness are really too strong, and I wish I could swallow the entire industry.
The key is that Ali Media wants money and resources, so they have no idea what to say.
There is no way to target it.
In fact, Huaxin and Ali Media are the real biggest competitors.
Because Ali Media wants to eat the largest piece of cake in the film industry, and Huaxin is the giant that has eaten the most shares, so they are truly irreconcilable.
Because of Ali Media's consistent style, they cannot give up the idea of becoming the real number one in the industry.
The first one at present is Huaxin, so there must be constant friction between the two.
On the other hand, the giants such as the prosperous Tang Dynasty, such as Jiuzhou, have not had such a big impact on Huaxin. Although everyone's cooperation and competition have always coexisted, their hostility is not so strong.
Therefore, Huaxin would rather cooperate with these giants than cooperate with Ali Media.
So what does this question Wang Yifan mean when he asked him?
Cao Meng couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
This question is really hard to answer.
In fact, he really wanted to go to Ali Media in his heart, because Ali Media is not short of money, and at the same time, he also gave him the greatest freedom in content production.
Although Times Light and Shadow are also good to him, after all, to be honest, Times Light and Shadow still give him less things.
In fact, there is mainly comparison.
Ali Media even took out Ali Media's high-value shares as a reward and invited him to join.
If "Infernal Affairs" really succeeded in North America, then he would join without saying a word.
But it’s different now. If he joins Ali Media, will Wang Yifan continue to cooperate with him?
Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that after "Secret War" and "Infernal Affairs", he had already relied on Wang Yifan's scripts.
