I've already reached the top level, so I only need to gain proficiency

After the celebration banquet, Su Mu did not return to Galaxy City immediately.

When I have a rare free time, I definitely want to meet my old friends.

Directors who have filmed movies before, as well as Li Yadong, who once helped him produce a single, have to maintain their connections well, and you may need to ask for help at some point.

And another reason why he didn't leave right away was because of Zhang Huai's request to stay.

Zhang Huaimou and Wang Jun told him very early on and invited him to Huayi to discuss joining the board of directors.

So after Su Mu arrived in the capital city, he received WeChat messages from Zhang Huaimou and Wang Jun almost every day, as if he was afraid that he would run away.

After the celebration banquet, Su Mu rested in the hotel for a day, and then made an appointment with Zhang Huaimou to sit down and have a good talk about this matter.

In fact, according to Su Mu's original idea, as long as he can make more money, of course he will accept anyone who comes.

…

at this time,

In the office of Huayi Building, Zhang Huaimou and Wang Jun were already ready and waiting for Su Mu's arrival.

It was not as formal as expected, but he was also in Zhang Huai's tea room, ready to chat while drinking tea.

Zhang Huaimou poured a cup of tea for Wang Jun, who had been looking at his watch, and then said with a smile: "Don't be impatient, things can always be settled. I also sent a WeChat message just now. He should be on his way here in half an hour at most." arrive."

Wang Jun nodded, but he was still a little worried: "Director Zhang, I have to work hard to convince Su Mu today no matter what. I finally got the old guys on the board of directors to agree, and I just have to make the final step. After that, we at Huayi can If we cannot have stronger support and become the leader in the entertainment industry in China and even Asia, it depends on this cooperation with Sumu."

Zhang Huaimou smiled helplessly when he heard this.

He knew that Wang Jun was exaggerating on purpose. After all, if he wanted to be at the top of the entertainment industry in Asia, it would not depend on the joining of a certain star.

Even if Su Mu can become the king of Asia in the future, it is difficult to say whether he can pull Hua Yi to the throne.

However, he could also understand Wang Jun's mood, but he was too eager to see the results.

"Don't worry, Mr. Wang, I will try my best." Zhang Huaimou comforted.

He and Su Mu have been good friends for many years, but at the same time, they are also shareholders of Huayi.

Since the listing of Huayi, most of them have not worried that this giant ship that has embarked on the entertainment route will one day face the problem of profit and loss.

After all, it was really easy to make money in movies in that era.

However, the financial market is changing, and the global film and television industry is also experiencing constant fluctuations.

This has caused them to experience many twists and turns in the past few years.

On the surface, whether it is domestic theater chains or some copyrighted films and TV shows, almost all of them have the shadow of their Huayi Pictures.

But the bigger this is done, the more invisible places are lost.

Every year, the company's profit and loss statement shows a decrease compared to the previous year. This is not something that makes a company leader anxious.

Wang Jun: "You said let's wait a moment. Do you want to play the emotional card directly, or do you want to be a little more professional? After all, we have collaborated a lot in the past few years, so we should be familiar with it."

Zhang Huaimou thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I know Su Mu better, he is more realistic.

Just like when filming, no matter how good the relationship is, the salary is the first priority for him.

So it's very simple. When Su Mu comes, we might as well get straight to the point and talk to him about money directly.

This will actually be better. "

Wang Junruo understood: "Yes, I understand."

…

The two discussed for another ten minutes before Su Mu arrived.

Seeing him walking in from the door, Zhang Huaimou and Wang Jun stood up one after another and exchanged warm greetings with Su Mu.

After all, it has just achieved a box office of 7 billion and set a new record. Congratulations must be made.

Then, just as they had discussed before, they went straight to the point without making any detours.

Wang Jun took out the document in his hand and handed it to Su Mu with a serious expression: "Su Mu, this is the business section of our Huayi Pictures. Some parts are confidential investments, but you can also take a look.

In the film and television industry, especially local theater chains, we basically occupy 35% of the domestic share.

It also cooperates with many other video companies and has many artists under its banner.

At the same time, we are also involved in many sectors such as sports projects, real estate and catering.

Huayi's recent revenue statement for this year can also be seen online, but I have also made a copy for you here, so you can take a look at it.

To be honest, I think if you join us at this time, you will not lose money no matter what. And the other thing is, if you add money to your entertainment, with the help of our Huayi, I believe you will soon reach a new level.

We have the most complete film and television chain structure. If you want to make any film, Huaimou and I will fully support you.

Having said all this, I mainly want you to see our sincerity. You know, it took me almost a year to convince those directors.

Now, all our shareholders can allow you to dilute part of your shares. Of course, after all, we are now a listed company, so you need to subscribe on an on-the-job basis.

When the time comes, I will arrange for you a position of real power in Huayi, in the management position. What do you think?

Oh, of course, this does not delay the operation and development of your own company. "

Listen to Wang Jun's words.

Su Mu lowered his head and thought carefully. After all, it was about money, so he had to be more serious.

Then he looked back at Qian Jida, ready to discuss.

In fact, what Wang Jun said is relatively simple and easy to understand. On-the-job subscription is the majority of the operation process, so there is nothing surprising.

But the question the two of them have to face now is, if Su Mu really joins Huayi Pictures as a director, what other benefits will there be besides money.

And compared with other companies that also want to attract him to invest, are there any different advantages?

Of course, Huayi's status in the domestic entertainment industry is very high.

If Su Mu becomes one of them, it goes without saying that his status will definitely rise in a straight line. Whether it is connections or resources, it will definitely take off to another level.

But behind the huge benefits and benefits, there are also huge risks.

In recent years, there have been many celebrities who have entered the ranks of capital by virtue of their own abilities. However, their success has not lasted long. They either immigrated and ran away in disgrace, or were eventually deceived and lost their money and fell into the dust.

No one can guarantee whether things will be smooth or stormy after this.

Think for a long time.

Su Mu: "Mr. Wang, I can't decide this matter right away, but that doesn't mean I'm not interested."

Wang Jun: "I understand. Today I just want to discuss my intentions and understand your thoughts. If you have any questions, just ask."

Su Mu nodded: "Okay, why don't we talk about some practical matters, how much do I need to get, and what share of Huayi Pictures do I need?"

Wang Jun raised his eyebrows and did not answer Su Mu's question immediately. Instead, he patiently explained:

“The composition of directors of Huayi Pictures is a recommendation and selection system, with renewal and follow-up investment every two years.

Directors will need to add funds after two years to retain their directorship. If they cannot add or give up, they will be removed from the directorship by unanimous vote, retaining the right to dividends, but losing the right to attend and vote.

However, in recent years, almost all directors have been the same members of the original team, and there has been almost no rotation.

This proves that Huayi's growth over the years has definitely exceeded everyone's expectations.

Of course, this time we have added new director seats for you. Currently, you only need 2 billion to get 11.5% of all our diluted shares. "

After hearing Wang Jun's explanation, Su Mu smiled.

Then he took out his mobile phone and showed it directly to Wang Jun.

"Mr. Wang, this is the previous invitation from three other video platforms. Mr. Zheng from Kiwi has already sent me a message. You should know that they are the ones you are planning to list on Nasdaq, and the conditions they gave me are , but far more tempting than what you have here.

Although it is only 5%, the money I have needs to be used wisely. "

Wang Jun: "..."

Zhang Huaimou: "..."

After listening to Su Mu's words, Wang Jun and Zhang Huaimou looked at each other.

What was supposed to come would come. Su Mu used several other companies to negotiate the price. The two of them had expected it.

Naturally, he won't be convinced so easily.

And it feels like... from what Su Mu just said, it seems that he only has the funds on hand to settle in one house.

Then this opportunity is even more important, and we must continue to increase our investment.

Wang Jun thought for a while, and then said: "Su Mu, how about this, in addition to the share we can give you just now, I can also adjust your actual power position to where you want, and you can even participate operations.

In addition, all the film and television power of Huayi Pictures will be tilted towards you. What do you think? I can definitely say this.

And you should have seen some news about Huayi’s bidding for real estate, right?

Let me tell you the truth, now we are preparing to build the largest film industry base in China.

In order for us to go global in the future, the reform and improvement of the film industry is imperative.

We at Huayi have united many companies in related fields and are preparing to jointly build the country's largest film and television city and film and television industrial base.

Here we will have the most advanced production technology and shooting environment.

Although this investment must be massive, our people are already doing it. Regardless of whether it is successful or not, you will definitely have priority in using the resources in this area.

I think as a filmmaker, this should be enough to appeal to you. "

Wang Jun's words made Su Mu slightly surprised.

In fact, he had heard Qian Jida mentioned before that it seemed that Huayi and several other companies were jointly auctioning land and bidding for many places.

But at the time, I thought it was just ordinary business behavior, or some gossip made up by some media in order to attract people.

But I didn't expect that this thing was actually true, and it was for the purpose of building a film and television industrial base.

In recent years, although China has had a small number of works go out of Asia.

But in terms of film technology and industry, it still has not reached the first-line level.

The most powerful science fiction movie at present is still the Wandering Earth filmed by Su Mu.

At the beginning, some people in the industry suggested that it would be best to create China’s own ‘Hollywood’.

However, many people on the Internet are pessimistic and think this is a fantasy. After all, the domestic and overseas environments are different.

But if the Chinese film and television industry wants to continue to develop, such a model must emerge.

When you have money, you have to improve technology, and improving technology ultimately requires gathering more money.

Therefore, commerce and industry are inseparable.

Su Mu: "Create China's own 'Hollywood'?"

To be honest, this incident touched him a bit.

Wang Jun: "That's right."

Su Mu looked up at Zhang Huaimou and said, "Director Zhang, do you think this can be done?"

Zhang Huaimou smiled bitterly: "I can't say this, but after working in this industry for half my life, I always want to make it better, right? Even if we only do a little bit, it is a good start. I believe there will always be someone to complete it." Yes, but I prefer it to be us.”

a long time.

Su Mu smiled lightly: "Okay, I think it can be considered."

Wang Jun was overjoyed: "Really?"

Su Mu: "But I ask for a reduction of 200 million. What do you think of 1.8 billion? The proportion is 15%."

Wang Jun "..."

Zhang Huaimou: "..."

Su Mu: "To be honest, I have also learned about the market recently. If I join, Huayi's stock price will rise sharply, so this..."

"good!"

Before he finished speaking, Wang Jun stood up directly, without even thinking: "Okay! It's a deal! 1.8 billion, I'll give you 15%!

At worst, Huaimou and I will give you three more points from ourselves!"

Zhang Huaimou: "!??"

Wang Jun: "Su Mu, welcome to join Huayi's board of directors."

Su Mu looked at Wang Jun with a stunned expression and cursed in his heart.

Damn, what a loss!

Such a cheerful answer must be too rare!

…

It was already afternoon when we came out of Huayi Building.

Several people talked for several hours before it ended.

However, Su Mu's face was not very good. Although the agreement had been reached, he still felt that the bargaining was not going well this time.

Maybe it’s been too long since I’ve practiced, and I’m a little rusty.

He always felt that if he could shed tears on the spot and then show off, he might be able to get 20% with 1.5 billion.

"Pity."

"What?"

In the car, Qian Jida looked at Su Mu: "What's wrong with you?"

Su Mu was a little annoyed: "This kind of thing will never be tolerated in the future!"

Qian Jida: "?"

Su Mu: "It seems that we can only negotiate with Zheng Quan. I will have to find ways to make amends."

Qian Jida looked confused: "So do you decide to choose Huayi or Kiwi?"

Su Mu: “As long as the price is right, I’ll buy it all.”

"All!?" Listening to Su Mu's words, Qian Jida was shocked: "You really want them all. I thought you were joking. Our current funds are less than 5 billion. If all these companies subscribe, then it will be There's nothing left.

What if the time comes... Well, I mean, if there are risks, then wouldn't all the hard work be in vain? "

Su Mu: "What are you afraid of? Work harder and leave early."

Qian Jida's mouth twitched.

I always feel like this is not a good thing to say.

…

…

A week later, Su Mu and Qian Jida returned to Galaxy City.

When I went back, I happened to see Jiang Han dragging his luggage to report to the company.

He still wore the same simple outfit, without the airs of a star at all. Even though Operation Red Sea made her a little popular, he only brought a small assistant from the side.

The signing process was relatively smooth.

After settling Jiang Han.

Qian Jida then came to Su Mu's office:

"According to what you said before, I have screened a few charities. These are the more reliable ones. Take a look."
