Zhigong Pavilion

This is a very low-key private club in Shang Hai. It is said that it was founded by a group of young students with backgrounds in the beginning, in order to allow their young people to have a private place to talk about things and not be disturbed by idle people. After more than ten years of development, Zhigong Pavilion still retains the rules of the initial establishment, and it is still the people of those who were in the past, or the descendants of those people's families. From the outside, this small building located in Jing'an District has not changed at all in the past ten years, as if it has been frozen by time, but if it enters the inside, there will be a different world.

Du An sat quietly, picked up a cup of tea in front of him and took a sip.

The light in this room is elegant and not dazzling. The wall on the right is open, with a thin curtain hanging on it. The night wind blows open and brings the autumn wind into it. It conveys the black and elegant night color of the outside room, and mixes it with the light with a little yellow dim in the room, like a color-touching ink painting, dim.

"Squeak"

There were roaring insects outside the curtain.

"It's autumn after all."

Du An took a sip of tea and said to the man sitting opposite him, then put down the teacup, turned his head slightly, looked over to his right hand, his eyes narrowed, and his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate this layer of curtain and shoot outside.

After looking at it for a few seconds, he turned around and sighed slightly, saying, "In summer, there were quite a lot of bugs outside, but now there are only a few sparse sounds."

The man sitting opposite him said with a light "hmm" and said, "Summer is prosperous, autumn is fading, frost and winter are extinct. It is precisely because of the different that the four seasons have the meaning of existence."

The man chuckled and said, "Although it is October, for "Liberation Day", it is the hot summer, the sunshine outside is scorching and the green spirit is full of green, which is the best time." After saying that, the man raised the tea cup in his hand and compared it to Du An, "I wish Du Jun, you must be sure of the victory in advance. If you have no wine here, use tea instead of the bar."

Du An took the opportunity to raise the teacup and looked at the person in front of him, and a couple from afar, "Thank you."

I saw Du An sitting in front of her, smiling, long hair on her shoulders, curly endings, a pair of elegant ladies, and a pair of golden silk-framed glasses on her nose gave her two more intellectual temperament.

After taking a sip, Duane put down the teacup and looked to the right.

Opening a yard in Jing'an District where every inch of land is valuable is a game that only rich people can play. And it is not just the Tingzhuxuan where they are now. There are quite a lot of space-wasting arrangements in the entire Zhigong Pavilion. If you look at it from the sky, this Zhigong Pavilion will be like a paradise in the downtown city. And it has been standing for more than ten years and no one dares to make up this idea. This is not something that can be done with money alone. The background relationship behind it is very deep...

Du An was full of thoughts.

In fact, this place is really good. The quality of the waiter is very high. Perhaps because of the fact that the big guys have seen him a lot, he treats him as an ordinary guest. He is neither humble nor arrogant. He likes this attitude very much. Moreover, the place is very low-key, with extremely high secrets, good environment, and elegant decoration. Duane wanted to get a member when he first came here. Unfortunately, he later learned that the conditions for becoming a member here are very harsh: if you want to become a member here, you must have joint recommendations and guarantees from at least five "old" members.

"I can take out a quota here, and I can also find another quota for you, but I can't do anything about the remaining three."

This is what the woman in front of him told him when she heard the idea of ​​him wanting to be a member here.

But where could he go to meet three such people? So Duane had to give up this idea for the time being.

"Du Jun,"

The woman's words opposite brought back his thoughts.

When I turned around, I saw her looking at her, her expression was calm, but her eyes were filled with a smile, "Now, "Liberation Day" has exceeded 100 million yuan in a single-day box office for five consecutive days. In addition to the first week, the weekly box office champion in the second week is also unlucky, and it is very likely that the second place will be in the second week to 200 million yuan. This is really a happy thing, but why do you seem to have some worries?"

This other "Du Jun" made Du An uncomfortable, as if there were little bugs crawling among the people he had contacted, among them, there were all kinds of names for him, some called him husband, some called Xiao An, some called Du An, and some called Director Du. This was also the one who shouted the most, but no one had ever called him "Du Jun"!

If this is a little bit inferior in education, I would think I called the wrong person.

He smiled bitterly, "How can you not call Du Jun? If it really doesn't work, you can call Xiao An."

He was forced to be willing to subvert himself, but the woman sitting in front of him looked innocent and asked, "Why? Doesn't Du Jun sound nice?" Then, he said, "And I may not know who I am calling for when I call Xiao An."

Duane knew that this would be the case, so he shook his head, which was considered to be accepting his fate.

"Okay, if you want to shout, just shout."

The person in front of him was named Yin Anan, and she said, "I don't know who she is calling for" and it also aroused because of this.

For the first time Duane felt that the word "An" was so annoying.

"I'm worried about the theater,"

Du An was too lazy to get involved with her in this title, so she answered her question just now and shifted the topic away, "I'm so anxious!" After saying that, she raised her eyes and glanced at Yin An'an, and said with a heartache: "I'm sorry for you investor owners!"

He said it very seriously, but Yin Anan said, "Oh?" and said, "It's really troublesome about the theater, but you don't have to worry too much. If you lose, you will lose. Who can do business and make sure to make a profit?" The whole thing is calm. If someone who doesn't knows about it, he will think that the things Duan said have nothing to do with her, but in fact, she is one of the owners who lose money.

When Duan was in the Chang'an-type theater alliance, he brought several people to enter the venue, including Shu Yu and Su Jin. These two were considered insiders, and two were outsiders, namely Yin An'an in front of him and another named Cheng Tailai.

Because of the Paramount incident, Du An met with Boss Zhao of Paramount before. Later, when he was looking for funds in Shanghai, he also found some people through Boss Zhao's relationship. Among them, Yin Anan was precisely Yin Anan's third uncle.

At that time, Yin Anan happened to be with her third uncle. When he met, he recognized the woman who had been pressed on the corner of the skirt by his butt on the plane (see Section 299 for details). Yin Anan, as his loyal fan of the movie, naturally recognized him at first glance, perhaps with his love for his idol, or perhaps he was really optimistic about this project. After Yin Anan's third uncle said no to this project, Yin Anan entered the market with funds.

Or, it was on the pirate ship.

The theater opened by Yin An'an is called "Chang'an Road", which is very consistent with her literary and young temperament. If she doesn't have some culture, she really can't understand what it means. Du An, a fake cultural person, looked up the dictionary and found out that Chang'an Road is an idiom, which used to refer to a place of fame and fortune, which is very consistent with the characterization of his project. Moreover, "Chang'an" is in line with Chang'an West Road, and "Chang'an Road" the theater can also be understood as "the theater on Chang'an West Road". Finally, the word "An" is in line with Yin An'an's name, which is really a model of multiple meanings.

Just a name makes Du An realize how much the difference between a fake cultural person like him and aristocratic families like Yin An'an. However, no matter how good the name is, he will be confused when he gets on the pirate ship.

Yin An'an's good name with far-reaching meaning did not bring her good luck. Like several theaters in the Chang'an system, Chang'an has been losing money and has poor performance. However, Yin An'an, the big boss, is not as impatient as Shu Yu. She seemed to have no idea that she had been losing money. The calm and gentle clouds make people suspect that the things she had been throwing in were not money, but straw paper.

"Human abilities are limited, and it is extremely difficult to do something well,"

Yin Anan continued: "Your greatest talent lies in the movie. "Liberation Day" explains this very well, so as long as you use your abilities in this area, what if you lose a little elsewhere? Just spend money to make a happy life."

He didn't count his own gains, losses and interests in his words, and he was wholeheartedly considering Du An.

Duane glanced at her deeply.

He almost thought that this little girl had fallen deeply in love with him, and had become a state of being a nerd who was willing to live and die for him, but Yin Anan's next sentence immediately made him dispel his thoughts.

"So, I think you should start thinking about your next movie. You have to make money so that you have the capital to continue playing your Chang'an game."

After hearing her words, Duan looked at her and asked, "So you want to invest?"

Yin Anan nodded, still smiling, and said, "Yes."

She raised her right hand and tied her hair around her temples, combed a strand behind her ears, but there was a trace of it very naughty. As soon as she put down her hand, she jumped out from behind her ears, and drooped playfully to her cheeks.

She glanced at Duane and said, "Actually, I had the idea of ​​collaborating with you after watching "Fengyue", but we didn't know each other at that time, and there were rumors that you only collaborated with Shu Yu because of Rising's affairs, so I have always regretted that I didn't have this opportunity, but now it's different."

"In "Liberation Day", you took the lead in breaking the tradition of not cooperating with others and joint ventures with China Film. Then this year, you will re-engineer with Rising to shoot a new film. If you infer this, I think the possibility of our cooperation is also very high."

Duan looked at Yin Anan and murmured quietly.

After a few twists in his mind, he slowly said: "The first two days of the week were 261 million. So far, the single-day box office exceeded 100 million for five consecutive days, and the total domestic box office in five days has reached 610 million. According to the current situation, it is almost a foregone conclusion that the ten-day box office exceeded 800 million, which is just a domestic box office. In my opinion, as of the full downgrade, there is no big problem with the global box office exceeding 3 billion. I said this half a month ago and still said this half a month later."

"A movie took a year and earned 3 billion in box office. After deducting various expenses and costs, the three companies will share the same. Each company can get about 100 million."

Duane shook his head, "The income is really not high, and the risk is very high. No one can tell whether to lose or make a profit. It's just gambling. Is it worth it?"

Yin Anan smiled, "Who said that it will only be fixed at 3 billion? Well, even if it stops at 3 billion, you can make more than 100 million. And as far as I know, your previous movies made more than 100 million. In the end, even if it is really only 100 million, the money I threw on Chang'an Road is not that much, and I still made it, so it is worth it."

"As for you saying this is gambling..."

Yin Anan glanced at him meaningfully and suddenly smiled sweetly, "You have never missed the movie and have good reputation. If you want to make an exception from me, then I will admit it."

Duane stopped talking.

Of course he knew it was worth it: what Yin Anan said was part of it, and another part was that the subsequent income was that for a movie, box office revenue was only one part, DVDs, peripherals, TV screenings, etc. were all revenue part. In the past year, video websites have been purchased. These are all money. In total, it may not be much lower than box office revenue. It is just a long-term style, not as fast and intuitive as the box office came.

He believed that Yin Anan knew this too.

For such a benefit, Du An is the trader again. He has a great chance of winning and the investment is indeed worth it.

"But you also know that my next movie is to work with Rising."

Duan looked up at Yin Anan and said, "So if you want to cooperate, you have to line up."

After some thought, he finally decided to accept Yin Anan's invitation to cooperate: on the one hand, because Yin Anan spent tens of millions just to make a gambling opportunity, this courage really shocked him, and on the other hand, because of this cooperation with Han Sanping, he tasted the sweetness of resource complementarity, and Yin Anan obviously has a deep background. He hopes to complement each other again and have a win-win situation.

After hearing Du An's decision, Yin An'an's expression did not change much. She still had a handsome smile and a bit intellectual. She said that she was a simple freshman and had no idea. She was completely different from a business veteran with decisive and amazing courage.

"Of course, I still understand the principle of coming first and coming later,"

Yin Anan picked up the teacup: "Then let's talk about a cup of tea instead of wine for our in-depth cooperation in the future."

Duane nodded, picked up the teacup and was about to clink the cup when suddenly a noise and a footstep came from the outdoors.

The sound was getting closer and closer, interrupting them.

The two of them turned their heads and looked to the left in a tacit understanding, and soon the footsteps came outside their door.

Duane knew that for the sake of silence, carpets were laid everywhere on the ground here, and it was not easy to make footsteps on such a ground.

He even guessed who the person outside the door was.

Hurry!

Without knocking on the door, the door was opened all of a sudden. A big man who looked about 1.83 meters tall was standing outside the door. Judging from his face, he was actually just a young man, but he was a little taller.

A man in a suit and ties followed the side of the burly young man. When he saw the door open, he immediately bent down and said to Yin Anan: "Miss Yin, I'm sorry, we have explained that you are talking to the guests, but Mr. Cheng learned that you had to come over after listening to Zhuxuan, so we couldn't stop him."

Yin Anan nodded to him, "I understand, you go down first."

The burly young man didn't care what they were saying at all. His eyes swept indoors, and finally settled on Du An's face, deliberately pretending to be "overjoyed" expression, shouted "Du Du!", and then he walked over with big strides and sat down next to Du An.

Duane was helpless.

One calls him Du Jun and the other calls him Du Du, these two people are really poisonous! (To be continued.)
