Chapter 311: The various forms of life in the world of fame and fortune
"It can be seen that your second phase press conference was very successful. Even I was excited by what you said."
Master Han San looked at Wang Hao beside him and smiled with satisfaction.
The press conference Wang Hao just held made him the center of attention in front of his leaders.
After all, the Huaying Group is the leader in Chinese films, and the prosperity of the film market can be attributed to them to some extent.
"I have to thank Uncle Han for your strong support. Without the help of Huaying Group, I would not have achieved what I have today."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Han smiled and waved his hand.
"You, why are you giving me that? Help from others may be crucial, but one's own efforts and talent are indispensable.
Anyway, just like the leader said just now, you work hard, do it boldly, and do it with confidence, and we at Huaying Group will definitely support you.
Oh, by the way, there is something else I want to tell you."
"You say."
Wang Hao responded with a smile, thinking that the other party wanted to ask him for help, but he didn't expect that Mr. Han San said:
“It’s not a big deal. The head of the propaganda department is not here to talk about it, but he told me privately that the higher-ups will promote a national special plan next year.
The specific name is the "Four Batches" talent project, which is mainly aimed at cultural propaganda.
As a nationally renowned director, you are naturally qualified to be selected for this. When the time comes, you can report it in the name of your company, and leave the rest to me.
As long as you can be selected, your [Galaxy Cinematic Universe] project and the [Galaxy Cinema Metropolis] next door may become cultural projects that receive national attention and support.
By that time, I believe your development will be smoother."
Wang Hao really didn't expect that what Mr. Han San wanted to talk to him about was this matter.
No wonder people say it’s easier to get things done if you have someone in the court. As for this so-called “four batches” talent project, Wang Hao had never heard of it.
It was only after Mr. Han San told him that he knew about this.
It turns out that the so-called "four batches" refer to a group of theorists, a group of famous journalists, editors, and hosts, a group of publishers, and a group of writers and artists.
It is a talent training project for the national propaganda and cultural system, jointly organized by the Organization Department, Propaganda Department, and Personnel Department, and implemented by the Propaganda Department.
As for its purpose, it is also very simple, which is to help outstanding talents in the propaganda and cultural system grow rapidly, unite the hearts of talents, enhance the ability of talents to undertake important tasks in propaganda and cultural work, and provide high-quality talent guarantee for propaganda and cultural undertakings and the construction of socialist spiritual civilization.
To put it more deeply, as the country opens up and integrates with the world, many bad trends and ideas from the outside world have also blown in along with the so-called free economy.
Faced with this situation, the country will certainly not remain indifferent, so there is such a major project to cultivate our own propaganda talents to resist certain unhealthy "trends".
"That's a good thing, then."
Wang Hao's thoughts raced as he quickly figured out the deeper hidden message in this. At the same time, he also understood that Mr. Han San really did him a big favor this time.
This is a national key project, and one that is in the cultural industry. This is probably one of the few in the whole of China.
Once Wang Hao is successfully selected into this talent program, coupled with the future sales of "Galaxy Cinematic Universe", given his relationship with the military, aerospace department, and cultural department, I'm afraid this golden body will be completely established.
What is the use of this golden body?
Wang Hao had also heard from his subordinates that the construction of his own [Galaxy Film City] project in the TZ area was not so smooth.
Even though it is the capital of the country, there are many bold second-generation playboys in this city.
In other words, Wang Hao rose to prominence too quickly, leaving some people no chance to react before he was directly promoted to his current position. He is well-known both domestically and internationally, and his influence is enormous.
Otherwise, who knows how many problems his Galaxy Group would encounter.
Feeling grateful for Mr. Han Sanye's kindness, Wang Hao naturally acted a little closer to him.
Han Sanping was also very satisfied with Wang Hao's performance.
With his current status and position, what he wants is actually very simple, just two things.
One is to leave a good reputation before retirement, make more achievements, and make your career end successfully.
Another reason is to consider future generations. It is said that when a person is gone, his influence is forgotten. If he were to step down from the position of chairman of Huaying Group, how many people would be able to give him face?
Therefore, being able to make friends with a polite and grateful young man like Wang Hao can be considered an investment for him.
Moreover, Han Sanping is not alone. His daughter is currently studying for a master's degree at the Beijing Film Academy and will be working in this circle in the future.
These two top figures in China's film and television industry, one old and one young, smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.
After Mr. Han San was escorted to his seat, Mr. Xu Peng from Mo Ying's side immediately came over.
Thanks to several previous collaborations with Wang Hao, Mr. Xu, who made the right bet, is said to be expected to make another move up next year and completely remove the word "deputy" from his position.
So when facing this person, Wang Hao remained enthusiastic and started chatting with him with a smile.
As an old friend, Xu Peng was not shy and stated his purpose straight away.
"Brother Wang, you really made a splash by making such a big splash, with an investment of 200 million US dollars. This is the first time in the Chinese film and television industry.
We at Moying also want to contribute to this event, but I wonder if you, Brother Wang, will give us this opportunity?"
"Brother Xu, what are you talking about? I am so happy that someone is willing to help us share the pressure of Xinghe. How can I push it away?"
Wang Hao smiled slightly and seemed easy to talk to.
"Besides, Tao Piao.com in Shanghai had to help Brother Xu and Moying a while ago, so that they could open up online and offline channels and connect with the theaters. I have always remembered this favor. Don't worry, when the time comes, we will definitely leave a portion of the share for Moying in the Inception project."
“But,” Wang Hao paused.
"Brother Xu, you also know that this project is big, but there are also many people and companies that have helped me and our Galaxy Group in the past."
How will it be divided at that time? Maybe we will have to hold a meeting and discuss it together.”
"That's no problem. We, the Moying, will follow your arrangements, Brother Wang."
Xu Peng was very satisfied when he heard that he could have a share of the pie. After all, Moying was also a state-owned enterprise, and the profits were not bad. The more important thing was that he could participate in Wang Hao's big project, so that he could also share some political achievements and reputation, and the work report next year would be much better.
After easily seeing off the two state-owned enterprises, the remaining private film and television companies were naturally unwilling to fall behind. They no longer distinguished between first come first served and swarmed to Wang Hao.
These people are divided into two factions.
Among them, companies like Huayi, Eagle King, and Starry Night have some relationship with Wang Hao himself, so they are more confident.
However, companies like Orange Sky, Guangxian and Bona, which have never dealt with Wang Hao before, adopted a slightly lower attitude.
However, whether facing familiar or unfamiliar people, Wang Hao's answers were simple and direct.
“Everyone, I’m glad that you can come to this press conference today.
But I can only say that although the investment of $200 million for "Inception" is a lot, Huaying, Motion Picture and Sony Pictures will definitely enter the market.
Plus, we at Galaxy Pictures are not short of money, so the remaining investment share, to be honest, is not that much, so how much will each of you get in the end..."
"Brother Wang, our Huayi..."
When Wang Zhonglei heard what Wang Hao said, he became anxious and rushed to speak.
However, Wang Hao just smiled and glanced at him, and that look made him hold back his words.
“No hurry, no hurry, everyone. After all, today is our celebration party for Wolf Warriors, and this is not the place to discuss serious matters.
Let’s eat and drink well tonight, and then we can sit down together to discuss the specific investment matters.
But I want to say in advance that the division of shares will not be a matter of money at that time."
It's not about money? Then what is it?
The bosses of several film and television companies began to murmur in their hearts, and their eyes were full of vigilance when they looked at each other.
Although it is unclear how Wang Hao will negotiate in the end, it is obvious that these people will definitely be competitors by then.
After dealing with the bosses of several private film and television companies, Wang Hao finally had the opportunity to communicate with Sony Pictures Vice President Keita Miyamoto and CJ Entertainment Vice President Li Enxi, who had been waiting leisurely on the side.
As for these two important overseas partners of Galaxy Pictures, Wang Hao naturally could not treat them with the same attitude as he faced the Wang brothers.
Sony Pictures and CJ Entertainment are also extremely confident. After all, they have their own strength and certain overseas channels at hand, so they don't have to worry about Wang Hao not cooperating with them.
However, the specific details of the cooperation cannot be agreed upon in a short period of time.
Fortunately, the general situation has been determined. CJ Entertainment does not plan to invest in Wang Hao's "Inception". They are more interested in the model similar to the previous cooperation "The Man from Nowhere".
Therefore, CJ Entertainment’s main focus is still on the two movies "Witch" and "Vice City" in the second phase of the movie universe.
As for other movies, we can just leave the promotion and marketing work in Korea to them.
In contrast, Sony Pictures is very interested in Wang Hao's new movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
You have to know that they are an American film and television company after all. Compared with those people in China, they are more aware of Leonardo's status and appeal in the American film market.
Coupled with Wang Hao’s previous successes, Keita Miyamoto was even more confident about his new project than anyone else present.
The two of them only exchanged two sentences, and Keita Miyamoto, on behalf of Sony, confirmed its intention to invest in Wang Hao's new film. As for the rest of the conversation, they did not mention this matter again, but talked about another thing.
"Wang, 'Young Spider-Man' has been confirmed to be released in North America during the Christmas season this year. You must attend the premiere then."
Miyamoto Keita looked at Wang Hao and invited him sincerely.
"Of course," Wang Hao nodded. "After all, I am still the chief planner of Spider-Man Universe. I will definitely go to the first movie."
After the two chatted for a few more sentences, the celebratory banquet was about to begin.
The banquet was held in a five-star hotel newly built by Wanda Group next to the Galaxy Industrial Park.
Compared to the formality at the press conference just now, the celebration banquet was much more casual. As the president of Galaxy Group and an important figure in this celebration banquet, Wang Hao naturally attracted everyone's attention.
Many celebrity artists who had not had the opportunity to chat with Wang Hao just now would now come over with wine glasses in hand and toast to Wang Hao, showing great enthusiasm.
There were many big-name female stars among them, who showed their charm to him with fawning smiles, as if they were grapes fed to his mouth, which he would swallow in one gulp as long as he nodded.
Wang Hao hadn't reacted to such an extremely tempting scene. Jing Tian, who saw this scene not far away, was a little unhappy and couldn't help but secretly cursed her as a "fox spirit".
But since it was a public place after all, she just complained in her heart, and Wang Hao just watched. If there was any deal, it would be done in secret.
As for whether there is any secret deal?
Anyway, after the celebration banquet was over, Wang Hao received several calls and text messages on his mobile phone, all from female celebrities with whom he had just exchanged contact information at the banquet.
[Li Binbin: Director Wang…]
[Fan Binbin: Director Wang…]
[Gao Yuanyuan: Director Wang…]
[Yang Ying: Director Wang…]
……
Wang Hao admitted that he was indeed moved by the alcohol and couldn't control himself, so he made the mistake that all men would make.
That night, he admired the charm of the Hupu goddess and experienced the enjoyment of holding a soft jade in his arms.
So much so that when he woke up from the big bed in the hotel room the next day, he was still slightly nostalgic. After replenishing his energy, he couldn't help but toss and turn for the whole morning.
The Clear Mouth Goddess's voice was almost hoarse, and she was half full from drinking. It was not until after eleven o'clock that Wang Hao left the hotel room refreshed.
Just when Wang Hao was spending his evenings drinking and partying and riding his horse, the press conference in the afternoon about the second phase of the Galaxy Cinematic Universe, Age of War, gradually spread on the Internet.
The characteristic of the Internet is that it is fast, so before those news media reporters have even finished writing their manuscripts, news related to "Age of War", Leonardo DiCaprio, 200 Million, and "Inception" have already appeared on the Internet.
#Leonardo Dicaprio and Wang Hao join forces#
#Leonardo Dicaprio will come to China to film#
#Leonardo Dicaprio praises Shangjing#
Entries related to Leonardo even rushed to the top three of the Weibo hot search list which was just released last year overnight.
Even the #Wang Hao's new movie release# [War Age] press conference# had to take second place, which is enough to show how much Leonardo Dicaprio is loved in China.
