Although Zhang Long's words were very blunt, Zheng Ankang still appreciated them. Even though he had signed a contract to sell himself into servitude, it didn't mean he was a cold, emotionless machine.
After finishing up with the special effects company, Zhang Long led everyone to his office on the top floor.
Secretary Yang Mei had already brewed tea and was waiting for the boss to come up.
At this moment, Principal Wang finally realized what was happening and asked excitedly, "Ah Long, are you planning to make a big-budget special effects mythological movie?"
Is it a live-action version or an animated version?
"Should we advertise online or offline?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Long almost burst out laughing like a pig.
He was originally thinking about how to get Principal Wang to ask the question. Of course, it wasn't to show off, but well, that was part of the reason.
The main reason is that I want to squeeze some money out of this guy.
Principal Wang also currently serves as the vice president of Wanda Pictures, so he still has a lot of say in offline advertising.
Especially in 2017, Wanda Cinemas owned AMC Cinemas, the second largest cinema chain in the world, and Wanda Cinemas, the largest cinema chain in Asia, making it an absolute cinema chain behemoth.
Seeing that his "prey" had taken the bait, Zhang Long calmly poured him a cup of tea and slowly said, "This is my WHT company's big project for the new year, and I plan to make it an instant hit."
"You just saw that clip too. Actually, I'm not very satisfied with this version."
"But I gave them too little time. They only had half a month to create this version from scratch. It was quite difficult for them."
"Goodness, you're quite the actor." Principal Wang was speechless, but the other person was his beloved relative and brother, so he could only watch him "act".
Fortunately, Zhang Long simply skipped over the topic and instead asked Principal Wang, "Is Wanda going to invest in this film?"
"This blockbuster with pure special effects is very expensive. We're just trying to make a name for ourselves. We might not make any money, and we might even lose money."
Upon hearing Zhang Long's words, Principal Wang expressed his willingness to invest without hesitation.
What does losing a little money matter? As long as he can get on Zhang Long's "aircraft carrier," he wouldn't even flinch if he invested everything.
He silently calculated in his mind, based on the $500 million investment of the American blockbuster "Avatar"...
Okay, he really can't afford to invest that much.
But he could still grit his teeth and come up with a hundred million dollars.
"Ah Long, I'll accept even if it means losing money. Just tell me how much you need. I won't ask for more, but I can still come up with 100 million US dollars."
Seeing Principal Wang's anxious expression, Zhang Long smiled.
"Don't rush, it's still in the project approval stage."
"As you can see, our 'makeshift team' has just been established and still needs a lot of work to work on, such as integration and operation, and recruitment."
"Go back and calm down first. I will notify you as soon as the project proposal is released, and then you can decide whether to submit it or not."
Principal Wang was wholeheartedly following Zhang Long because he found that Zhang Long had been successful since his debut and had never had a failure.
If the final cut can reach the quality of the earlier clips and the story is told well, this kind of special effects blockbuster will definitely be very popular in the international market.
This is based on the current dominance of Wanda Cinemas.
Thinking of this, Principal Wang was even more confident than Zhang Long himself.
This unexpected turn of events made Principal Wang quite excited, and he even forgot the original purpose of his visit.
After staying with Zhang Long for a while, he hurriedly went back.
Upon returning, Principal Wang went directly to the investment department of Wanda Pictures.
After inquiring about this year's investment budget, he also felt a bit of a headache.
He was furious that he couldn't access the more than 5 billion yuan in the accounts.
One executive passed the buck to another, who then passed it on to someone else. This back-and-forth eventually angered our young master Wang.
They started criticizing right there in Wanda's headquarters building.
The employees were so frightened that they shrank back like quails, not daring to lift their heads, for fear of being caught in the crossfire.
This was also the first time since the beginning of the year that Young Master Wang had lost his temper so badly at the company.
Although he was practically invisible at the company before, that's no reason for these people to ignore him.
After venting his anger, Young Master Wang calmed down, gave the executives a deep look, and then left.
Just when these executives thought that Young Master Wang would back down and not take the matter seriously.
Just a few days later, Wanda Pictures' senior management underwent a large-scale personnel reshuffle.
Those once high-ranking and arrogant executives were instantly relegated to marginal positions and sidelined.
The executives then realized the gravity of the situation and panicked, rushing to plead with Old Wang for leniency.
They claimed that they were meritorious officials who had shed blood and sweat for the royal family and should not be treated this way.
However, this was clearly futile and a complete pipe dream.
Since Old Wang has decided to take action against them, he will definitely take them down directly. The fact that he hasn't completely kicked them out yet is already a sign that he is considering their past contributions.
You see, Mr. Wang had always hoped that his son would take over his business.
Now that Young Master Wang is starting to care about company affairs, he's overjoyed.
As for those who claim that everything they do is for the good of the company, Old Wang doesn't even want to look at them.
Some things are easier to do than to hear, and even harder to say.
As the saying goes, "If you're not deaf and dumb, it's hard to be a good father-in-law," but that doesn't mean he's completely unaware of what's happening in the company.
Initially, because the business had expanded too much, they turned a blind eye to it, since the group's interests were not harmed.
But now they have crossed his bottom line. His own son can't even use the company's money for normal business investments. What does that mean?
How could someone who becomes the richest person in Asia be a soft-hearted person?
Old Wang's move was a double-edged sword, eliminating the corrupt elements in the company while simultaneously handing over the reins of company affairs to his son.
Our young master Wang initially felt very relieved, but soon realized something was wrong.
He thought to himself, "If all these senior executives have fallen, what about the new ones?"
It took me a while to realize that the "clown" was actually myself.
emmmm......
Isn't this a classic case of shooting yourself in the foot?!
