Chapter 240 Find Stupid People to Work for Me!

Outside the office.

Li Yanhong stared at Zhang Sheng.

The young man in front of her had a calm expression.

He hung up the phone and waited for her reply.

Li Yanhong was unwilling to compromise.

It was impossible to give Zhang Sheng the rights to the French premiere of a blockbuster like "Wing Chun".

[Serlu] Cinema...

She had checked the information.

It was indeed glorious in the past, and even the premiere of a movie in Cannes was held at the [Serlu] Cinema.

But at this moment, it was only dilapidated and outdated, with only some old photos explaining its former glory.

How could she hand over a blockbuster like "Wing Chun" to Zhang Sheng? To make wedding clothes for others?

Zhang Sheng was playing the trick of borrowing chickens to lay eggs.

This trick...

He had been playing it since the beginning of his business, and it worked every time.

Indistinctly, it was like a weak little ant, jumping left and right in front of him, claiming to get the greatest benefit at the lowest cost.

"Come in!"

Li Yanhong was disgusted, but finally compromised.

In the intricate network of relationships, he hit the person she least wanted to see.

Zhang Sheng seemed to know very well that the seemingly harmonious [Shengshi Entertainment] was divided and fragmented, and he knew even more clearly what each faction wanted in the factional struggle!

Li Yanhong didn't know from what channel Zhang Sheng got this information.

This information was very secretive, and some contradictions had never appeared in public. Even on the surface, they were still polite...

Today you help me stand up, and tomorrow I will help you stand up, just like brothers.

The door of the office was finally closed.

Zhang Sheng walked into the office.

"It's a pity that it's a society ruled by law now, otherwise you would be beaten to death!"

Li Yanhong watched Zhang Sheng sit down.

She looked at Zhang Sheng and said this expressionlessly.

The box office of "Paging 1988" was not good today. The ratio of the schedule to the box office fell into an extremely ugly field!

The reputation was not good, only 6.0 points, and many of the good reviews were brushed up by the water army.

But it is still being shown.

The number of screenings has been reduced, but it has always been maintained in a specific time period.

It disgusted the upper limit of "Wing Chun" and even the entire industry!

However...

Gao Yuan has channels, connections, and capital, and even the top executives of [Star Future] have to give him face.

Otherwise, a bad movie like "Paging 1988" would not be shortlisted in Taiwan, let alone appear on the nomination page of the Golden Horse Awards.

Li Yanhong's resources are not bad, and the new director Cui Hao is also favored by many investors, but...

Gao Yuan is a veteran director. The "Thunder" he directed was a milestone movie last year. He is like a representative of the fifth generation of directors...

She can't compare!

"If it weren't for the rule of law society, I might live better... It is precisely because it is a rule of law society that I can only do things within the rules."

Zhang Sheng sat down.

He poured himself a glass of boiled water.

He has become the host.

Li Yanhong breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

She no longer cares whether Zhang Sheng's words are true or false.

At this moment, she suppressed her emotions and became calm: "How do you want to cooperate?"

"I want the exclusive premiere rights of "Wing Chun" in France!"

"You know this is impossible." Li Yanhong shook her head.

"Exclusive for a week?"

"One day, at most!"

"Can you sell the French copyright?"

"What do you mean?"

"You can't sell the French premiere rights. What's the difference between giving me "Wing Chun" exclusively or not? Only my theaters can show it for you!"

"This is the bottom line! Our "Wing Chun" is already profitable. Even if it doesn't go overseas, it doesn't matter to us!" Li Yanhong said coldly.

"Three days!"

"This is not bargaining, this is my concession!" Li Yanhong looked at Zhang Sheng, and after saying that, she didn't mean to talk about it anymore.

"Okay, one day exclusive is one day exclusive! But I want to sign with you, we will have one day exclusive advance screening for any of your works in the future!"

"Impossible!"

"Then what about the next work!"

"Wing Chun is a movie we invested in ourselves, so the copyright is in our hands, but the copyright of the next movie should be in the hands of [Shengshi Entertainment], I can't make the decision, we are just workers..." Li Yanhong shook her head.

"The next movie, the copyright is in my own hands!"

"Okay!"

Li Yanhong nodded.

I made a phone call and asked the lawyer to draw up a contract.

During the drafting of the contract, Li Yanhong looked at Zhang Sheng: "Did Zhang Panpan tell you something about our company? Even confidential?"

"No!"

"Really?"

"Can someone like Zhang Panpan, who has just signed the contract and has no achievements, get access to confidential information of your level?"

"Smart people can analyze the general situation of the entire company through some words and phrases..."

"Wouldn't it be more convenient to read the news on Weibo? There is a lot of information exposed there..."

"After signing the contract, will you still cooperate with Gao Hui?"

"I don't want to lie to you. I will even use the signed contract to talk to Gao Yuan again!"

"You dare to say these things before the contract is signed?" Li Yanhong took a deep breath and her face darkened.

"I'm here to sign movies on behalf of French cinemas. The more movies there are, the more. I need not only good movies, but also bad ones. Otherwise, the cinemas will suffer even more if they don't have to show them..."

"Will you sign a movie for [Starlight Future]?"

"Probably not."

"I can give you a slightly better movie copyright! I can help you apply for old Chinese films that have never been exported overseas..."

"What's the price?"

"Don't cooperate with Gao Yuan!"

"..."

…………………………

After the beginning of spring.

The earth began to gradually become warmer.

News about the [Berlin International Film Festival] has gradually begun to increase.

This year is the year with the most Chinese films nominated for Berlin.

"Thunder", "The Dog Beyond the Mountain" and "Tuya", three films were shortlisted for Berlin.

The film industry is generally very excited.

Countless filmmakers believe that this year's [Berlin International Film Festival] is the most promising year to win the Golden Bear Award, and they are even predicting which film will win the award this year.

The flight from Yanjing to Berlin covers a total distance of 7,400 kilometers and the estimated time is about 10 hours.

But the votes are hard to decide.

There are more Chinese films shortlisted than in previous years, so there are more filmmakers, media, and tourists looking to witness history in Berlin than in previous years.

Elaine stayed in China for two days.

After confirming the renovated style of the [Seroux] cinema, I did not return to France.

"Let's go to Berlin together."

"Over there in France..."

"If you trust me, you will come with me to Berlin!"

"What to do?"

"Get to know more directors, and at the same time, find an opportunity to express my gratitude to Avery Tashi..."

"But, Avery Tashi is a famous film critic, and I..."

"In the relationship between people, you are in the position of the weak, so you must first remain grateful. Without his introduction, we would not have known each other, and "That Summer" would not have been in your cinema. Playing…it’s a form of giving back.”

"I can't give him anything, he's very rich, and I..."

"Gifts are never high or low. In other words, it doesn't matter even if they turn around and throw them into the trash can. The key is that this is your heart, a grateful heart... We are in a weak position, so we need to be sincere... …”

"good!"

“What else do I need to do besides say thank you?”

"Remember, after you go to Berlin, your identity will be a film producer!"

"The film company that bought the movie rights?"

"Yes! [Serlu]'s film schedule must be diversified and cannot be supported by just some bad films..."

"But I, I have no money. I will borrow the rent from you for the next few months..."

"We are used to treating money as a transaction, but in addition to money, we also need to explore the psychology of producers and directors. What do they need and what can we give? We can reach an agreement in the middle!"

"I do not understand……"

"It doesn't matter! Remember, your identity is just a film producer!"

"..."

Early morning flight.

It's the cheapest flight.

But it is precisely because it is cheap that indebted "ladies" like Zhang Sheng are allowed to obtain work visas and board planes under local surveillance.

The plane took off.

Elaine looked out the window into the dark depths of the clouds.

Confused and worried.

[Berlin International Film Festival] That is a new field.

She had never been there before, and she didn't dare to go, let alone "trade" movies in the name of a "film dealer."

but……

After looking at Zhang Sheng's determined and peaceful expression next to her with his eyes closed, she inevitably felt a little calmer in her heart.

She felt like she had opened a door, and saw that there were many things in that door that she had never been exposed to but had only heard of.

Along the way.

Zhang Sheng told her some stories about interactions between people.

Small!

You have to be sincere and let your strengths shine and be seen by others.

If you are a superior!

Then we must be humble to those in lower positions, and we must be discerning, able to see the advantages of each person, and use these advantages to make the team shine even more.

Zhang Sheng also told her some of the traps of human nature.

In this world where interests and interests are intertwined, people can try it, but don’t risk all your wealth and capital to play!

You never have enough chips!

He even analyzed the core reasons why [Selu] Cinema went from glory to collapse!

Countless people once told her that it was because [Sailu] Cinema had failed to keep up with the times...

but……

Zhang Sheng told her.

These are all part of the reasons, but like a catalyst!

But the real reason is the human heart!

The previous managers of Sailu were immersed in the glory of the past and forgot what people's lowest "desires" were.

You don’t know your customers’ desires…

So!

You just have to rely on luck!

"Zhang Sheng, what did you do in Berlin?"

In the plane.

Elaine finally couldn't help but look at Zhang Sheng.

"Do you want to know the truth?"

"think!"

"Let's see if I can be lucky enough to find some unsmart people to work for me..."

"???"
