Xiang Huaxiong is also a figure in the Hong Kong film industry, but she is still full of awe for Shen Mengyao.

He didn't expect that Chen Mengyao's attitude would be so polite and low-key.

But the more this happened, the more cautious and respectful he became.

This woman who looks like a vase in front of us has created a super business empire. How can we not be in awe?

“Mr. Shen is too polite. I am sorry for always disturbing you.”

"Thank you for being so polite, Mr. Xiang."

After a pause, Chen Mengyao said, "I've been in Hong Kong for three days. I've finished investigating various industries and am considering returning to the mainland. Time is limited, so, President Xiang, I've squeezed out time to see you. As you know, I have a lot of things to deal with at the company. So, you have ten minutes. How about we get down to business?"

Xiang Huaxiong was shocked.

Ten minutes?

Well, he didn't dare ask for too much time.

He was already flattered to be the first one to see him today.

You know, there are so many people lining up now, using various connections to want to meet Shen Mengyao.

He naturally knew that Chen Mengyao's words about returning to the mainland were just an excuse, but he still didn't dare to neglect it anymore.

"Okay, Mr. Shen is a quick-witted person, so I'll just speak frankly."

Xiang Huaxiong subconsciously sat up straight and said, “I came to see Mr. Shen today mainly to ask Mr. Shen for a favor.”

"Oh, our Shenlong Group is far away in the mainland, but we can't help you. I'm very curious, how can I help you?" Chen Mengyao said with a smile.

Xiang Huaxiong said, "No, no, no, I'm sure you can help me with this. I know you know Xiaoyanzi. Can you convince her to continue playing the leading female role in 'Old Dreams in Beijing'? We approved this film in the first half of the year, and we've already invested a lot of money in publicity. The market response is very good now. If we can't make it, I'll lose a lot of money."

Shen Mengyao was not at all surprised by his words, as if she had already thought of it.

"Mr. Xiang, you're joking. Although I know Xiaoyanzi, we're not really close friends. Her decision to boycott the show is entirely her own. Besides, I don't have the power to influence her decision. She's a big name after all. I can't do anything to help her."

Xiang Huaxiong sighed.

It turns out that he is not that easy to talk to.

Well, then I have to use my trump card.

"Since Mr. Shen can't help, I can't bring this up anymore. However, this movie will start shooting after the Spring Festival, but we still have a big funding gap. I know that Haitian Entertainment in mainland China is part of your company. I wonder if you're interested in investing in this movie?"

Sure enough, Shen Mengyao did not refuse.

She looked at Xiang Huaxiong with a half-smile: "Haven't you already found an investor?"

"Oh, Mr. Shen, we don't tell lies in front of real people. At that time, I didn't know the ugly faces of the Lu family father and son. Ignorance is not a crime. Our company has already issued an announcement and severed its relationship with them a long time ago. For this, we also paid a large sum of liquidated damages. Hey, the film industry is getting more and more difficult now. The box office competition is very fierce. It's rare to have such a promising movie. Mr. Shen, please help us."

Xiang Huaxiong was cursing in his heart.

With Longma Film's strength and connections, many people would rush to donate money to invest, but now, they have to act pitiful in front of Shen Mengyao and beg others for investment.

He also has his difficulties.

If those actors on strike had not participated, the film would definitely have been greatly diminished.

This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that he will offend the giant Shenlong Group.

Who knows what Chen Mengyao will do next.

But based on past experience, anyone who offends the Shenlong Group will not have a good ending.

Xiao Jian is pretty awesome, right? He launched the Meijie series of skincare products, and then the Shenlong Group immediately launched the Shenlong Beauty Cream, which has now completely defeated Xiao Jian...

Chen Mengyao thought for a moment and said, "Let me be honest. After my visit to Hong Kong, I feel that Hong Kong's film industry is indeed more advanced and developed than the mainland. Its operating methods and talent pool are better than those in the mainland, and the market foundation is more mature. I really want to enter the film industry. I won't hide it from you. Haitian Entertainment has signed a number of directors and actors. However, the waters in Hong Kong are still very deep. Mr. Xiang asked me to invest, and I am personally still very interested. But, how exactly will the cooperation be carried out? Can you tell me?"

Upon hearing this, Xiang Huaxiong felt relieved.

Fortunately, my guess turned out to be correct.

Chen Mengyao is indeed going to enter the film and television industry.

It’s normal when you think about it.

Haitian Entertainment is very powerful and it is impossible for it to just keep doing music. It must expand into the film industry.

Well, cooperation is always better than confrontation.

It is always better to be friends than opponents.

Xiang Huaxiong immediately stated: "This film plans to invest 500 million yuan. If you can invest 300 million, I can give you 40% of the box office revenue. What do you think?"

"Forty percent?"

Shen Mengyao laughed.

She didn't say anything, just drank her coffee.

This made Xiang Huaxiong feel a little uneasy.

Forty percent is certainly not the bottom line.

But Chen Mengyao didn't say anything, so who knew what she was thinking.

After a while, Chen Mengyao said calmly, "Okay, President Xiang, the ten minutes are almost up. How about we talk about this another day?"

Xiang Huaxiong became anxious when he heard this.

This is dissatisfaction.

But you should at least give me a price.

Chen Mengyao continued, "Our company is also currently planning to make a commercial blockbuster. Mr. Tang said he wants to hire the best production team and plans to invest 1 to 2 billion yuan. We're also planning to put it on the schedule after the Chinese New Year. Maybe our schedules will clash by then. Oh, and by the way, Mr. Tang himself will play an important role in it, and he also wants to invite Xiaoyanzi, Huang Bo and others to star..."

puff……

This is bullshit.

It's completely false.

But this statement reveals a message.

That is, if we can't reach an agreement, we'll become rivals, and our schedules will definitely clash. Furthermore, we've already hired all the actors who are on strike, creating a competitive relationship...

Xiang Huaxiong was horrified when he heard this.

Chen Mengyao spoke softly, but her words were filled with murderous intent.

It seems like they're going to fall out if they can't reach an agreement.

Xiang Huaxiong quickly said: “Boss Shen, give me five more minutes.”

"Okay, go on then. Is there anything else?"

"No, no, it's still about investment. We are indeed short of funds at the moment. How about you invest 300 million, accounting for half of the total share?"

Xiang Huaxiong looked at Chen Mengyao carefully, hoping to see what she was thinking from her expression.

But this is doomed to be useless.
