Chapter 265: New Company with Fatty Fan (Updated on July 2nd 12)
"...We have collaborated with LeTV on "My Love from the Star" before, and it was very pleasant... Mr. Jia's sincerity in "Celebrating More Than Years" this time..."
Wei Yang ended the interview with LeTV and helped each other talk about the business. He couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
I heard that LeTV has bought "The Legend of Zhen Huan", and also has the rights to "My Love from the Star", and now it has also bought the first season of "Celebrating More Than Years".
After a few years, the remaining LeTV employees may not be so comfortable.
After finishing the interview, Wei Yang strolled back to the set, and Fan Xiaopang suddenly appeared behind him.
"You are quite familiar with the guy from LeTV."
"Crazy, walking silently."
Wei Yang was startled, and Fan Xiaopang patted his chest to calm him down and patted his hair.
"Touch the fur, it won't scare you."
"..."
Wei Yang gritted his teeth and said, "You don't want the director of the crew to hit someone, right?"
Fan Xiaopang was scared. Wei Yang wouldn't hit her, but it would be enough to "take care of" her when he turned around.
After a while of fussing, she asked the old question again, and Wei Yang shook his head: "I'm not very familiar with him. We have cooperated on official matters and met twice in private. This person's situation is a bit complicated and I don't want to get too close."
"complex?"
Fan Xiaopang is somewhat familiar with Wei Yang's social circle, and there are many political and business leaders in Shanghai. He feels that it is complicated, and he is really not an ordinary person.
"Why did you remember to ask him?"
Wei Yang was a little curious, and Fan Xiaopang didn't hide it: "LeTV has contacted me and wants to cooperate."
"Why didn't you respond to him?"
"I'm not familiar with him, and he asked me to cooperate with him out of nowhere. He made a lot of random remarks and didn't get any benefits. Of course I ignored him."
Fan Xiaopang seems to be bold, but he is actually very conservative in economics and business.
Although he earns a lot of money and even ranks at the top of the Forbes celebrity list, it is all "hard-earned money" from running around.
Wei Yang heard Fan Xiaopang say that during the busiest period after "My Love from the Star", his average rest time was less than four hours a day. He was either making money or on the road to making money.
After working hard to make money, I don’t dare to invest randomly for fear of losing money, so apart from part of the investment in film and television, a considerable part is used to buy houses, maintain the value regularly, and then make other investments.
In contrast, her "good sister" Zhao is an expert at playing with money. She has invested in many fields and is very generous. She has even met big bosses and participated in capital and financial games. She no longer has to work hard in filming. make money.
Compared with her, Wei Yang can only be regarded as a "stupid person" with some ability...
Because of this, and because he has been cheated by several old employers, Fan Xiaopang is very cautious about what he cooperates with, and there are only a few companies and partners he truly trusts.
She had never had any dealings with LeTV, so Boss Jia just used serious film and television resources to discuss cooperation.
As a result, when he opened his mouth, he turned into an ecological rebel, but when he kept his mouth shut, he was suffocated by his dreams. This was definitely Fan Xiaopang's fault, and he refused to believe his deception.
Originally, Fan Xiaopang heard that Boss Jia had spent 75 million yuan to buy "Celebrating More Than Years" and wondered whether he had misunderstood and whether he should contact him again. However, he immediately gave up the idea when Wei Yang said that his background was complicated.
With her current status and fame, it's hard to say that she has high-quality resources, but she will definitely not miss out on scenes, so there is no need to take risks.
"By the way, Wu Hongliang from Tangde asked me to invest in it. Lao Mu said it was an opportunity. What do you think?"
The men Fan Xiaopang trusted most in the past were her father and manager Mu Xiaoguang. In terms of career, she almost did whatever the latter asked her to do.
And Mu Xiaoguang also lived up to her trust, successfully turning her from the second-middle child who had been suppressed in Huayi to a hot competitor for the number one sister in Huayi.
However, after getting to know Wei Yang and experiencing the benefits many times, she would sometimes ask Wei Yang for his advice. For example, it was Wei Yang who suggested her to buy a house to preserve its value.
Regardless of his emotional tendencies, Wei Yang himself is a very outstanding business elite with unique vision and first-class means.
In Fan Xiaopang's heart, Wei Yang's opinion was even stronger than Mu Xiaoguang's.
"Tangde Film and Television?"
Wei Yang was no stranger to this name. In his previous life, he made a lot of money because of Fan Xiaopang's "The Legend of Wu Mei Niang" which was launched on the market. He also lost everything because of the unfortunate "The Legend of Ba Qing" and was once on the verge of bankruptcy.
In fact, Fan Xiaopang and Tang De Film and Television have a deep relationship. As early as Fan just became independent from Huayi, they had good cooperation in the two works "Rouge Snow" and "Jin Tai Ban".
With this good foundation for cooperation, one party has funds and channels, and the other party has reputation and commercial value, it is inevitable that there will be ideas for further cooperation.
"This is a good suggestion. Everyone takes what they need."
Wei Yang was telling the truth. The two parties did cooperate well and made a lot of money for a time. As for "The Biography of Ba Qing", it was really a crime other than war.
Reported by fans of history, there was controversy over ancient restrictions, the male lead was imprisoned, the second female lead was involved in a scandal, and the main female lead was banned. This drama is inherently evil and cannot be saved by gods...
From a practical perspective, there is nothing wrong with Mu Xiaoguang's proposal, but Fan Xiaopang also has his own concerns.
"One of the founders of Tangde Film and Television is her brother named Zhao, and she is also the major shareholder."
Wei Yang understood this. He had heard about this. Wu Hongliang of Tang De started his own business from China Film Group. He met a certain Zhao and later raised part of the investment. Her brother also participated in the founding.
In a previous life, Tang De went public, and Fan Xiaopang took the most credit, but in the end it was Zhao who hammered the hammer with Wu Hongliang.
To put it bluntly, she works so hard that she actually makes money for others!
One of the two "gege" who rode on the maid's head back then has been hammered by Fan Xiaopang himself. This one can't be hammered for the time being, but it doesn't mean he is willing to cooperate with her, or even make money for her.
In the previous life, there was no way. Apart from Tang De, she couldn't find a more suitable partner.
But it's different now. She met Wei Yang.
Looking at Fan Xiaopang's fiery eyes, Boss Wei took a step back: "What do you want to do?"
"Let's open a company. You provide money and people, and I will work hard to become famous. Shoot a few dramas and go public to make money."
"Sister, do you think it's that simple to go public?"
Wei Yang personally participated in the listing of a film and television company in his previous life. It was very complicated and troublesome, and the failure rate was also very high.
Moreover, even if a "personal store" like Fan Xiaopang can go public, it depends on her alone. Others are not stupid. The stock price is not easy to speculate, and it is difficult to cash out.
"If we don't go public, can't we sell dramas to make money? My fame + your production and channels, won't the money come in like a ton?"
"Haha."
Wei Yang sneered: "I was wondering why you talked about this when you have nothing to do. You must be jealous of me making money."
The cooperation with LeTV and Tangde Film and Television's investment are all fake. This woman probably came for him from the beginning.
The revenue of "Celebrating Yu Nian" was several hundred million, which was a great shock to Fan Xiaopang. She realized that TV dramas could make so much money.
As the most influential and popular actress in the entertainment industry, she can't guarantee the box office appeal of movies, but in terms of TV dramas, Fan Xiaopang does have enough confidence.
However, TV dramas are not something she can handle alone. She has to find a reliable partner.
Wei Yang has funds, channels, and a production team. Compared with Tangde Film and Television, he has too many advantages, not to mention their personal relationship, which makes Fan trust him more.
If you have to find an advantage, it is that Tangde Film and Television can go public in the future and play the capital game.
But Fan Xiaopang is not reborn, how can he predict the future.
No matter who sees it, cooperating with Wei Yang is more promising than cooperating with Tang De, and there is no need to be disgusted by the surname Zhao.
Fan Xiaopang is looking forward to cooperating with Wei Yang, while Boss Wei is weighing the pros and cons.
As for whether this company is promising, of course it is promising. The Legend of Wu Mei Niang sold hundreds of millions, isn't it all thanks to Fan Xiaopang?
As the most popular female star in the industry, the benefits this woman can leverage are amazing, which is something that 85 flowers cannot compare with in a short time.
However, he is a little embarrassed that once they cooperate, the two families will be closer in the future.
It is easy to be implicated, but Wei Yang will try his best to eliminate risks, at least so that he will not be struck by lightning.
But the key is that he is afraid that Fan Xiaopang is wild, and he wants to use the company not only to think about business cooperation, but also to go further in terms of feelings. At that time, the interests of both parties are bound together, and it is not easy to break them.
"I'll think about it."
Wei Yang did not make a decision immediately, at least to inform Zhao and Liu, so as to avoid being passive in the future.
Wei Yang thought about it for two days, and decided to cooperate when Zhao and Liu did not express clear opposition. He would not refuse the money that was delivered to his door.
The two parties agreed that they would jointly invest to establish a new company, mainly engaged in TV drama production and distribution, and Fan Xiaopang's TV drama agency contract would be placed here.
The shares were divided into two parts, Fan Xiaopang held 51% of the shares as the major shareholder, and Wei Yang held 49%.
When the script and project were ready, Fan Xiaopang would hold a meeting in the name of the new company, Wei Yang would help raise funds and outsource the production team of Blue Whale, and use Fan Xiaopang as a selling point to shoot and sell the drama.
After the money was earned and the external investment shares were divided, Wei Yang and Fan Xiaopang would roughly split the rest.
The new company mainly made money from film and television production, but if it really succeeded, it would not be impossible to operate it and go public, or the company could be sold.
Without Wei Yang and Fan Xiaopang, this company would be an empty shell, but sometimes, some people need such an empty shell with achievements.
"We have a company, what's the name?"
Fan Xiaopang was looking forward to this new company, and was very excited. Boss Wei ate the lunch box during the afternoon break.
"Call it the "working company!"
"Fuck your grandma's legs, you only know how to work, and you can't get enough of it, right?"
Fan Xiaopang was so angry when she heard this word that her teeth ached. Since she accidentally learned the meaning of this word, Wei Yang's back has had several bloody wounds.
Wei Yang was giving up: "I'm bad at naming. You know that my company is full of seafood. You can come up with your own name."
"I can't eat without eating, and it's a bit strange to feed. Critical? Stomach disease? Raising troops? Yangfan, how about Yangfan, setting sail, the meaning is good, and there are our names."
"It's a bit vulgar, the key is that this name has probably been taken by someone else."
"Add a word, Yangfan Entertainment Film and Television Culture Media, etc. If it doesn't work, use a place name or international. I don't believe that all of them have been taken."
Wei Yang didn't comment. Not long after, both of them had a [Yangfan Film and Television Media Co., Ltd.] registered in Dongyang...

ps: I hope everyone will give Wei Yang more likes on the character card, don't let Xiaopang surpass him
First, Xiaopang has no avatar, and it's uncomfortable to look at it with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Second, after all, it's a bit sensitive, so it's better to keep a low profile.
