Huayu offended Hua Entertainment and was suppressed until it went bankrupt. Although everyone knew that Huayu was cheated, so what? This was how the world was. It was extremely common for companies to suppress each other, let alone peers. If they didn't suppress you, would they let you develop and compete with them?
Initially, he thought that this matter would be over. However, Huayu had suddenly announced that it had been acquired by someone. Moreover, they had started shooting the movie again and held a movie press conference. The reporters rushed to Huayu's press conference as if they had smelled blood, hoping to get some explosive news. At the same time, they wanted to know who had risked offending Hua Entertainment, one of the top ten corporations in Hangzhou and Hong Kong, to acquire Huayu.
The reporters had been waiting for more than half an hour, but before the press conference even began, the bored reporters began to ask each other who exactly had bought Huayu, but no one knew the answer. At this moment, Huayu's people arrived at the press conference and announced the start of the press conference.
The reporters who had been waiting for a long time immediately went forward and asked,"May I know who bought Huayu?”This was what everyone wanted to know.
Haitao smiled and said," Sorry, I can't tell you that.”
The reporter did not give up and continued to ask," If you don't say anything, are you afraid of Hua's revenge?”The reporters hoped to anger Haitao so that he would say it out loud to prove that he wasn't afraid of Hua.
"Whatever you say, but I will reserve the right to pursue it.”Haitao said with a smile, as if the reporter's words didn't affect him at all.
The reporter saw that this question probably wouldn't come out, so he changed the next question." May I ask how much the investor is prepared to invest in Huayu?”
Haitao raised two fingers and said," 200 million.”
There was an uproar at the scene. 200 million was already higher than the market price of Huayu at its peak. The reporters began to guess if it was acquired by another top ten corporation. Otherwise, who would have so much money?
"Huayu is preparing to shoot a movie. What movie is it and how much is the investment?”
Haitao pointed at a middle-aged man beside him and said with a smile," You'll have to ask the director of this movie, Mr. Liu Yihai.”
The reporters had already seen Liu Yihai, but they didn't expect him to be the director of this movie. They all went up to him and asked," Director Liu, what's the name of this movie? What's the content? How much is the investment?”
Liu Yihai picked up the microphone in front of him and said," Well, the script of this movie is called Home Alone. It can be said to be the most wonderful script I have ever seen. It's about an 8-year-old Ah Bao who accidentally left him at home when his family went out for Christmas vacation. He became the head of the family overnight. Ah 'Bao was happy to have no adults to interfere with him. He could play to his heart's content at home, decorating his home as his personal playground. Two thieves who had just escaped from prison broke into the house during Christmas when no one was around. Ah Bao used the game traps to deal with them and "entertain" these two uninvited guests. It could be said that the content of the story was very exciting and funny.”
"How much is the investment?" In the eyes of the reporters, only a big investment could bring high profits. Moreover, a big investment could also attract the attention of the readers. Just like the popular " Flames," the 300 million investment attracted a lot of attention at that time.
"As for the investment, let me do the talking.”Haitao interjected," The investment for this movie isn't high, only 50 million. Including the post-production promotions, it's only 100 million. But I believe Home Alone will definitely do well at the box office.”This was what Qin Long had told him. Home Alone was destined to become a classic.
The reporters were slightly disappointed and asked," Could Huayu choose to make a low-budget movie that it is best at? Was it still the same failure as the last time? Did he not dare to shoot another blockbuster?”
Haitao said calmly," A blockbuster is only good because it has a grand scene. That's why they spent so much money on setting up the scene, but it doesn't mean that the speed and color tone of the entire film are good. " Home Alone " was shot in a house, and there were only a few actors, so 50 million is definitely enough. I believe it's not worse than those so-called blockbusters, or even better.”Haitao said confidently.
"But only blockbusters can get high box office earnings.”
"Indeed, in the eyes of many people, a large investment equates to a high box office, but nothing is absolute. For example,'Corey's Holiday' only had an investment of 40 million yuan, but it managed to earn more than 340 million yuan at the box office.”
"You mean Home Alone is comparable to Corey's vacation?”The reporter finally found a bit of value in the news, so of course he wouldn't let it go.
Haitao knew what the reporter was thinking, but he still said confidently," Home Alone is not only comparable to Corey's vacation, but it can even surpass it.”
The next day, many entertainment newspapers, big and small, reported on this press conference. The headline of the Hangzhou and Hong Kong Entertainment Times was " Is Huayu reborn from the ashes, or is it a play?”The general content of the article was that Huayu had been acquired by someone and was now shooting a movie again. Would Huayu use this movie to rise from the ashes and regain its glory, or would it ultimately fail and be unable to recover?
The title of the entertainment weekly magazine was "”The content of the article was that Huayu had been acquired by someone and was preparing to shoot a movie called " Home Alone." Did it imply that Huayu was the little ghost, and did Home Alone express Huayu's ambition?
Victoria Entertainment Magazine ridiculed Hua Yu for overestimating himself. The title of the article was " Hua Yu's Death Struggle." The content said that Hua Yu plagiarized someone else's work and eventually went bankrupt. Now, they were shooting a movie. Was Hua Yu's credibility worthy of trust? Could it be that he was certain that this wasn't plagiarism? The article was full of sarcasm. Victoria Entertainment Magazine also used this opportunity to curry favor with Hua Films.
Hua Shi Films even announced that Home Alone was just a childish movie and Huayu was just a joke. Hua Shi even announced that they were preparing to shoot a blockbuster to stop Huayu.
In the face of the doubts from the outside world and Hua Clan's challenge, Hua Yu only said lightly,"The facts will prove who is the real joke."”Qin Long felt strange when he saw Dongfang Yanran looking at him as if she was a monster. "Hey, what's there to see? Don't tell me you've fallen in love with me because I'm handsome!”
Dongfang Yanran rolled her eyes at Qin Long. This look was extremely flirtatious, and it made Qin Long feel a burst of ecstasy. "Follow me." Dongfang Yanran said lightly, then turned around and walked downstairs. Yan Wu followed behind Dongfang Yanran like a shadow. Qin Long pursed his lips and followed her.
Dongfang Yanran brought Qin Long to a very elegant fashion studio. She was obviously very familiar with this place. After entering, she showed a card and a little girl in uniform led them to the VIP room on the second floor.
" This is one of the better shops in Hangzhou. People in the industry often come here for styling," Dongfang Yanran said with a smile. It turned out that Oriental Film was going to hold a press conference to introduce the real situation of " Breyer the Witch ". At the same time, they were going to announce the director and the main actors of the movie. It had been three weeks since the release of " Blaine the Witch ", and it was about to be closed. In the past three weeks," Blaine the Witch " had made 457.69 million at the box office, firmly in second place. It was about the same as " Flames ", which had made 490 million. The most important thing was that " Blaine the Witch " only cost 50,000 yuan and only took one week to shoot, while " Flames " cost 300 million yuan. It took more than six months to prepare and shoot.
After Qin Long was brought upstairs, a hairstylist came in and asked for Qin Long's specific requirements before starting to cut his hair.
"Hey, Master, please make me more handsome, no, more handsome.”Qin Long said. He was already very handsome. Doing his hair was just to make himself more handsome. That was all.
An hour later, the hairstylist gave Qin Long a hairstyle that fit his face very well. It was fashionable and dynamic, making his delicate face even more handsome. Well, it was actually more of a gigolo.
"Every time I look at myself in the mirror, I'm always amazed by how handsome I am.”Qin Long looked at the mirror narcissistically for a long time before he said something." Plop!" The designer almost fell. Yan Wu turned her head away and tried not to laugh. Dongfang Yanran could not help but cover her mouth and giggle.
After leaving the design studio, Dongfang Yanran brought Qin Long to buy another set of clothes. Yan Wu had never seen a lady worry about a boy like this before, not even the chairman. She thought of this and looked at Qin Long who was walking in front. There was nothing special about him. He was just a little better than his peers. Alright, he was the only one who was better than his peers.
"Hey, is it necessary? Can't I wear my usual clothes?”Qin Long looked at the branded clothes he was wearing. Although he only knew one port, this one cost 100,000 yuan. Qin Long cursed in his heart. There are so many zeros. How can it be better than my original one? It can only fool these rich fools. 100,000 yuan is enough for me to make two movies of " Breyer the Witch " and earn 400 to 500 million yuan. F * ck, this is a scam.
Of course, Qin Long could not understand the consumption concept of those rich people. When ordinary people went out shopping and came back to communicate, they would say how much this dress cost and say that the cheaper the better. Whoever could buy the best goods at the lowest price would be appreciated and praised. However, rich people were different. The clothes they wore and the things they used were afraid that others would not know how expensive they were. The reason why luxury brands were so popular was for the face of the so-called rich. To put it bluntly, the reason why they only bought expensive ones... If he didn't buy the right one, it was to maintain his sense of superiority as a member of the " upper-class society " and to distinguish himself from ordinary people. This way, he would be considered a noble. In fact, this was the mentality of the nouveau riche. The truly rich would never do such boring things. To them, even if they were dressed as beggars, the temperament that was revealed in their bones could not be underestimated. Moreover, in Europe, many nobles only had a glass of milk, a few pieces of bread, and a sandwich for breakfast. It was just that the nutrition was more reasonable.
