202. Fragrant pastry
The 1 billion-dollar box office celebration banquet of "The Story of Hachiko" is completely different from the celebration banquet of Wang Yifan's previous movies.
Because the box office of one billion means that Wang Yifan has entered the ranks of "famous directors".
A billion director’s value to a film company is not just a billion, but a appeal, but a manifestation of strength.
However, what is more special is that Wang Yifan is not a contracted director of any company. He is just a cooperation with Times Light and Shadow, which makes others flock to him, especially the five giants in the Chinese film industry.
Like Chen Hang, although he has a cooperative relationship with Jiuzhou, the prosperous Tang Dynasty, he has a high degree of freedom. Well, the director's degree of freedom at this level is already relatively high.
However, Chen Hang can be said to have been completely incorporated into the Jiuzhou of the Tang Dynasty. He is not only a contracted director of Jiuzhou of the Tang Dynasty, but also a shareholder of Jiuzhou of the Tang Dynasty. If others want to poach him, the price is too high.
But Wang Yifan is different. To a certain extent, he is also free to cooperate with whoever he wants to cooperate.
For example, in "The Story of the Loyal Dog Hachiko", the profits directly made by Times Light and Shadow were not as much as the outside world imagined. The one who really made a big profit was Wang Yifan. Of course, the indirect joint benefits obtained by Times Light and Shadow were far more than 1 billion.
It should be said that Wang Yifan's ten-billion achievement is time and fate. Why would Jiuzhou in the prosperous Tang Dynasty rather than lick Chen Hang than improve Wang Yifan's cooperation conditions? In fact, part of the reason is that Chen Hang is already their own person, while Wang Yifan is still an outsider.
It is almost impossible to achieve a movie that can get a box office of more than one billion yuan.
If it weren't for the turmoil of Times, and the need for directors like Wang Yifan to improve morale and demonstrate their strength, Times' Lights and Shadow would never have given so many resources to support Wang Yifan. Because their restraint on Wang Yifan was too small, Wang Yifan might have jumped to other competitors at any time.
In fact, looking at the billion-dollar directors in China, which one of them has a close relationship with the giants?
Resources, connections, channels, these are the foundations of Tianfang, the light and shadow of the times, the Jiuzhou of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the Huanyu, and the Xinguang Energy are called giants.
Take the previous preview and screening that was criticized for a large area of bad reviews. If it weren't for the fact that the other companies were still restrained, it would have been estimated that "The Loyal Dog Hachiko" would not have been so smooth.
Tonight's celebration banquet, except for Dai Xinyue, the host of Times Light and Shadow, the other four giants have sent people to come. Dai Xinyue certainly knows that the visitors are not good, but she can't stop them.
Then there are celebrities and artists. In addition to Wang Yifan’s old friends, there are also many new faces.
Among them are many well-known artists like Chen Dahua.
Then Ma Qingshan came, and Wang Yifan was not surprised. The two of them were considered friends, especially at the monk's vegetarian banquet that time, everyone was considered to have done "bad things" together.
"Director Wang, congratulations! By the way, I contacted Kexin a few days ago, and the younger generation is so terrifying." Ma Qingshan looked at Wang Yifan with admiration and said.
Wang Yifan didn't expect that Ma Qingshan and Lin Kexin had a connection, but he also knew what Ma Qingshan was referring to.
"I'm just lucky. As for Lin Kexin, she is the main person who contributes. I'm just a hand-off manager." Wang Yifan said with a smile.
"Luck is also a kind of strength." Ma Qingshan said with a smile.
"I also have to thank Director Ma for your publicity." Wang Yifan said with a smile. What's wrong with saying, Ma Qingshan praised "The Story of the Loyal Dog Hachiko" twice in a row, so Wang Yifan was not polite.
"Then I didn't see you pay me for publicity..." Ma Qingshan said jokingly.
After all, Wang Yifan is the protagonist tonight, so Ma Qingshan did not talk much with Wang Yifan, so he went to find someone else on his own.
But the appearance of Wu Han and Chen Hang surprised Wang Yifan a little.
After all, he is really not familiar with these two people, and it is not that he is not familiar with them. He just has fewer interactions. Don’t be beaten to death when watching two movies, but that is just a commercial competition. In terms of private, everyone actually has no personal grudges.
However, everyone just said hello and saw and met.
Then there were some media reporters and some people from various companies with cooperative relationships with Times Light and Shadow.
Wang Yifan is the biggest protagonist tonight, so these people are naturally coming for him.
However, the subsequent appearance of Chen Hanming surprised Wang Yifan. After all, Chen Hanming said he had thought about it before, but the result was more than a month. Now that he actually appeared at the celebration banquet, Wang Yifan was a little happy. It was really not the material for managing the company, so Xingmeng Company still has not developed very well so far.
Han Dong's side mainly helps with some accounting matters.
"Congratulations to Director Wang, congratulations. Although I have known for a long time that you have such potential, I didn't expect that this day would come so quickly." Chen Hanming exclaimed sincerely. He could be said to have watched Wang Yifan step by step to the present, but even he did not expect that Wang Yifan could become a "big director" so soon!
Yes, a box office of one billion can be considered a big director. Although Wang Yifan's qualifications and achievements are still far behind those old big directors, he has already gained a place in the Chinese film industry.
"How is Mr. Chen thinking?" Wang Yifan asked back.
"To be honest, I was a little hesitant at first, but now I have made a decision. I just don't know if Director Wang's company still lacks people?" Chen Hanming asked with a smile.
"Of course!" Wang Yifan said in surprise.
"It's not a lack, but an urgent need. Since Mr. Chen agreed, then start working from now on. What do you think?" Wang Yifan said with a smile.
Now it was Chen Hanming's turn to be shocked. He didn't expect that Wang Yifan was so anxious.
At this time, Dai Xinyue came over.
"Director Wang!"
"Mr. Dai, you are here just in time. Let me introduce it to you. This is our new president of Xingmeng, Chen Hanming. For future cooperation, Mr. Dai can talk to Mr. Chen directly." Wang Yifan said with a smile.
Dai Xinyue was stunned for a moment. Chen Hanming knew this person, but he was not familiar with it. However, he didn't expect that the other party would become the president of Xingmeng. She still had a smile on her face, but she felt a little distressed in her heart.
Obviously, compared to Chen Hanming, she is more willing to deal with Wang Yifan directly.
"Mr. Dai, please give me some advice in the future." Chen Hanming immediately entered the role and stretched out his hand with a smile.
Dai Xinyue smiled and reached out to shake hands with Chen Hanming, and said, "I dare not take the advice, I hope I can continue to cooperate happily!"
Odman has been paying attention to Wang Yifan's side with complicated eyes. It can be said that Wang Yifan suddenly rose, and the most depressing thing is him Odman.
Originally, Odman successfully settled his position with the credit of winning over Chen Hang, but Wang Yifan's rise slapped Odman hard.
Because compared to Chen Hang, Wang Yifan was originally a direct descendant of Jiuzhou, the prosperous Tang Dynasty. If it were not for his own reasons, the one who held this celebration banquet today was Jiuzhou, and there were two billion directors. If there were such contributions, he could even compete for the position of the company's president instead of one of the many vice presidents.
