Chapter 160: A Song and a Watch.

On the second day after the end of the World Cup final, Yao Dong started to do aerial acrobatics in order to give "Secret" a decent box office.
He had to hold fan meetings in Beijing, Shanghai, Changsha, Nanjing, Chongqing, Hangzhou, Chengdu, Jiangcheng, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen.
This fan meeting will not only promote "Secret" but also advertise "Crazy Stone," which is currently playing, and "The Legend of Sword and Fairy: Prequel," which will premiere on August 8th.
There are too many ads? Fan meetings are meant for promotion!
This guy held a fan meeting last time to promote the album "Xian Jian" two years ago.
For this fan meeting, Qingyun Film & Television and China Film did not spend a dime. Tengxun Weibo, Tengxun Video, and QQ Music sponsored the entire event. After deducting various costs, there is still a surplus.
Chongqing.
Just after finishing a fan concert, Yao Dong was immediately taken to a luxury hotel.
"Mr. Yao, please come this way!"
The petite and curvaceous young lady's voice was filled with allure.
"Oh, okay."
Yao Dong ignored the young lady and pushed open the private room door. He saw a woman inside and was inexplicably startled. The people inside immediately stood up to greet him.
"Xiao Dong, come on, I've been waiting for you half a day!"
Zhang Yadong smiled first and led Yao Dong to the main seat, then introduced, "This is a friend of mine, you can call him Mr. Lu. He also has a film and television company."
“Yao, my brother, you're really talented and promising!”
The slim and energetic middle-aged man sitting beside him shook his hand, then took out a business card and said, "I hope we can cooperate more in the future!"
"Definitely, definitely!"
Yao Dongping regained his composure and glanced at the business card, which indeed read: Beijing New Bright Brilliant Film and Culture Co., Ltd., Chairman, Lu Zheng.
"This is our company's artist, Jing Tian."
Luzheng introduced the girl next to him and smiled, "Why can't you say anything? Hurry up and call someone."
The girl was very obedient and immediately bowed, saying, "Teacher Yao Dong, I have been listening to your songs since I was young and watching the TV shows you acted in when I grew up. I just started in the industry and I don't understand anything. Please teach me more."
"No problem, don't call me teacher. Just call me East Brother."
Yao Dong and Xian Xianxi's slender hands separated as soon as they touched, and they sat down calmly.
"Hmm. East Brother~"
Jing Tian obediently called out East Brother and sat down next to Lu Zheng.
Zhang Yadong smiled and gestured to the drink on the table, saying, "I know you don't drink alcohol, but Mr. Lu specially prepared it for you. You can choose whatever you want to drink and help yourself."
"I understand, Mr. Lu."
Yao Dong poured himself a glass of orange juice and started pondering the purpose behind Mr. Lu's generosity.
Before Yao Dong could figure it out, Mr. Lu smiled and said, "When your movie is released, Wan Da Cinemas will give you the best screening slots."
"Thank you, General Lu."
Yao Dong raised his glass to toast Lu Zheng and glanced at Jing Tian, smiling, "General Lu, is all this just for the sake of making a lady smile?"
"Haha, my friend Yao, you can't say that casually. We are not what you think."
Luzheng smiled and denied, then lifted his cup and said with a smile, "But there is indeed an unexpected request today. Little Tian is not yet officially debuted, so I thought you could help write a song."
Yao Dong laughed and clinked glasses with him, not inquiring about the specifics, and looked at Zhang Yadong, asking, "Dong Ge, how is her singing?"
Zhang Yadong laughed and exclaimed, "Did you agree to it?"
"Since Mr. Lu is so polite, it would be rude of me not to agree," Yao Dong promised.
Jing Tian raised her glass from afar and joyfully said, "Thank you, Brother Dong~"
"If you want to thank someone, thank Mr. Lu."
"No need to mention it, thanks to Yao for giving me face."
Yao Dong took a sip of juice, no longer asking about Jing Tian's singing skills, and said with a smile, "Brother Dong, when you return to Beijing, ask my sister to give you the "Left Side" that I wrote before, I will let her know about it."
The sheet music for Yao Na, given in 2000, has still not been sung. Yao Na doesn't like this song at all.
Zhang Yadong smiled and said, "Was it written for your sister? Tian Tian's singing skills can't compare to your sister's. Why don't we write a simpler song instead?"
"Don't worry, that song is not difficult to sing," Yao Dong laughed.
At the same time, in the Hua Yi conference room.
Da Wang, Xiao Gang Feng, and other key figures all sat around, and Xiao Wang summarized the situation of Qingyun Film and Television's acquisition of Jiahe, opening by saying, "That's the general idea, let's all discuss it."
"I think we can give them a heads up in advance, the theaters can schedule more showings, play fewer tricks, and then we can join forces after they complete the acquisition."
"The domestic market is so big, they acquired Jiahe in order to share the cake with us. We shouldn't be nurturing a potential threat." The other person immediately refuted.
"We can't even consume all the current resources, let alone the domestic market. There is still a lot of room for growth. It's ridiculous to say that we would be nurturing a threat. If they have the capability, they won't hesitate to form an alliance with someone else."
"Do you want to collaborate with others, are they willing? If it weren't for Zhou Xun, would he have approached us for a collaboration in 'Painted Skin'?"
"Unless they keep making low-budget films, can they avoid working with us on big-budget movies?"
"Can't we get around it? Did you forget about what happened last year? Qingyun Entertainment won't poach people, right?"
Enough!
With his scar exposed, Wang Zhongjun couldn't help but tap the table before turning to ask, "Xiaogang, what do you think?"
Feng Xiaogang, who has been silent all along, said strangely, "We have worked so hard for so many years, and now they suddenly have so much money?"
In Feng Xiaogang's new film "Assembly," the plan is to hire the Korean team from "The Flag of Tai Chi" to handle the special effects, including the texture of explosions, trenches, corpses, and gunfires. The total budget for the entire film is 100 million, but Huayi can only provide 50 million.
Wang Zhongjun coughed twice, looking embarrassed, and said, "The Night Banquet has not been released yet, so the funds cannot be recovered so quickly." After a pause, he said, "In addition to Qingyun Films, Li Xinmin also has Qingyun Culture, and she is also the third largest shareholder of Tengxun."
"Sir!"
Feng Xiaogang spat and said in a hoarse voice, "Master Kuan, there is money here, haven't you talked to them about 'Assembly'?"
"We have talked."
Wang Zhonglei took a deep breath of smoke and said, "Wang Yuying doesn't like war themes. If Yao Dong's role in Guzi Village works, I will talk to them again."
It's not the era when schools and companies would book cinemas to watch movies. War-themed films are basically losing money. A war film that costs 100 million, Wang Yuying didn't even send an email to Yao Dong, and rejected it herself!
After thinking for a moment, Feng Xiaogang said, "I still think Han Yu's temperament is more suitable for Guzi. Zhao Er and Yao Dong can also do it, if they are willing to be supporting roles." After a pause, he said, "His wife can play Sun Guiqin."
……
In the nanny car, Yao Dong unexpectedly felt a little guilty. With a song called "To the Left", Wanda Cinema not only guaranteed the screening of "Secret" but also presented a Vacheron Constantin watch. If it wasn't for knowing that Dayan Yan's popularity couldn't take off, maybe he would even get a song.
