Chapter 449 Can That Thing Make Money?
"Then you treat me, and I'll pay!"
With his eyebrows raised, Feng Datou retorted in a loud voice.
He was very happy because the company had a new development direction.
It doesn’t matter whether there is money or not. What he wants is the sense of accomplishment of reaching the pinnacle of success.
Otherwise, he wouldn't even look down on Old Feng's wealth.
"Alright."
After hearing what Feng Datou said, Zhou Anan nodded in agreement without hesitation.
We just lost several billion, so we can save even a few hundred.
“…”
The group of five drove to the West Lake business district. Zhou Anan, as the host, drove in front and led the way, and found a parking lot and parked the car.
Zhou Anan had come across Yujia Restaurant when he had dinner with a female star. The fish head and tofu soup there was indeed delicious, leaving a deep impression on him as a tofu lover.
A few people arrived at the clean restaurant and went straight to the private room on the second floor.
It's already twelve o'clock noon, a little past lunchtime, and the restaurant's private room is vacant.
"Boss, give me one serving of fish head and tofu soup, and one serving of each of the other special dishes."
After taking the menu, Zhou Anan did not hesitate and ordered the dishes directly.
It's useless for the two ladies here to ask. The two men don't need to consider their opinions at all.
Anyway, it’s not his money, so just go ahead and serve the special dishes, he has money.
"Two more bottles of Sprite."
"An An, how about a Sprite?"
After Zhou Anan finished placing her order, Feng Jiming gave a lewd smile.
“Don’t drink and drive.”
With two young ladies present, Zhou Anan felt that she should show some respect and did not respond to the other party's words.
"Yes, you can't drink and drive."
Wang Xiaoxiao echoed Zhou Anan's words.
She can't drive, so should I ask her to walk back?
"Okay, okay, okay"
Thinking of the identities of the two young ladies, Feng Jiming did not continue driving and changed the subject.
“Ding ding ding…”
As a few people were chatting, Li Shucheng's cell phone rang. He looked at the screen, said something to everyone, and walked out of the box to answer the call.
"Brother Li, what's this?"
After Young Master Li walked out the door, Zhou Anan raised his eyebrows at Feng Datou on the left.
"The one from last time."
Feng Jiming also raised his eyebrows and responded in a low voice with a smile.
"oh."
Zhou Anan nodded in understanding. She didn't expect that her original guess would come true.
I don’t know if Young Master Li is serious about this. When Young Miss Li finds out, will she chop him with a knife?
When Zhou Anan thought of Miss Li's domineering aura, the scene of her chasing him across several streets with a kitchen knife flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but shudder.
"I have a friend coming over later, do you mind?"
Not long after, Li Shucheng returned to the box and spoke to everyone.
"girlfriend?"
Zhou Anan, who had just scared herself, asked a little nervously.
“I guess so.”
Li Shucheng did not shy away from this point.
"Brother Li has a girlfriend? Where is she from?"
After hearing Li Shucheng's tactful admission, Wang Xiaoxiao, who was eating, asked curiously.
"An An and the others also know those from Beijing."
Faced with this question, Li Shucheng answered very naturally.
There is no need for Young Master Li to hide the fact that he is looking for a girlfriend.
"Mr. He from Xinlan Entertainment?"
As a matchmaker, Zhou Anan cooperated and confirmed.
"right."
"Brother Li is pretty quick."
When the other party confirmed this fact, the stone in Zhou Anan's heart fell to the ground.
Now that things have happened, whether Miss Li will use a knife to attack people depends entirely on fate.
"Normally, not as good as you."
In this regard, Li Shucheng still feels inferior to Brother Zhou.
What he needs is love for a lifetime.
"Half and half."
With the two young ladies present, Zhou Anan couldn't retort and could only respond ambiguously.
"The day after tomorrow, several major distributors will be present at the movie preview..."
To avoid embarrassing everyone, Feng Jiming talked about the release of the company's first movie.
As shareholders of the company, Yu Xian'er and Li Shucheng both expressed their willingness to be present to support the event.
After several equity adjustments, Zhou Anan, the largest shareholder with a 26% stake, naturally could not be absent.
Then, the topic extended to whether or not to hold a party on the day of the premiere. Miss Wang even began to join in, discussing the possibility of holding a party after the premiere was a complete success, and even extended it to guessing how to congratulate the movie for winning the box office championship.
This topic was discussed heatedly, and even Miss Yu was no exception.
…
Listening to the discussion of several people, Zhou Anan, who was familiar with the trajectory of the movie in his previous life, found that these people were more confident than him.
Although the same movie in the previous life achieved a box office of over ten billion, that was a few years later when the cinema chain matured and the total domestic box office skyrocketed.
At present, domestic cinema chains are still in rapid development, and are far from reaching the scale of producing a billion-dollar box office movie. This is not the case with foreign blockbusters either. The champion movie annual ticket fees in the past two years have only been hovering around 200 to 300 million yuan.
Therefore, Zhou Anan, the instigator, did not have much confidence.
Of course, it is a bit difficult to win the annual box office champion, but the confidence in profitability is still no problem.
The investment in this movie was less than 20 million, plus a few million in publicity expenses. As long as the box office exceeds 100 million, it will be profitable.
"Sorry to bother you all."
While they were discussing heatedly, Li Shucheng, who had gone downstairs to pick someone up, walked in. He Xinlan, who followed behind him, apologized a little embarrassedly.
It was her first time attending a gathering of her “boyfriend’s” friends, and the 27-year-old He Xinlan was still a little nervous. After all, it was her first time in so many years.
"Ms. He, sit here."
When a female compatriot came, Yu Xianer politely asked her to sit next to her. There was a round table, just enough space for her and Li Shucheng to sit together.
Looking at this strong woman who had become more feminine and whose appearance had increased a lot, Zhou Anan suddenly felt that Young Master Li had a good taste.
Three women make a drama, this sentence tells the whole story of life.
After just a few words, the three women present started chatting, leaving the three men aside.
"An An, let me ask you something."
Seeing his girlfriend chatting happily with the other two, Li Shucheng, who was in a good mood, asked Zhou Anan: "Xinlan Entertainment wants to transform. Which direction do you think is better for development?"
"Or are you still working in the film and television industry?"
After hearing Mr. Li's question, Zhou Anan couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
It seems that Young Master Li is really serious this time, and he not only wants to invest money but also people.
"Well, Xinlan has worked in this industry for many years and doesn't want to give up halfway."
Although Feng Datou is the general manager of Blue Whale Entertainment, Li Shucheng feels it is more reliable to ask Zhou Anan this question.
Feng Datou’s management skills are okay, but when it comes to setting the general direction, he’s still a little lacking.
The current development direction of Blue Whale Entertainment is inseparable from Zhou Anan’s planning, so Li Shucheng specially chose today to let his girlfriend meet everyone and ask for her direction.
"In the short term, we can create some young idols, shoot a few youth dramas, and then find some popular youth novels and focus on youth idol movies. Our company can also cooperate in investment. In the long term, we can develop in the direction of animated films."
Zhou Anan originally wanted to create a traffic star, but he thought that the micro-customer project had just started and this concept would not appear for at least a few years, so he changed the concept.
As for animated films, more than ten years later, there are Monkey King with good box office performance, and Nezha, which started with a small team, both made tens of billions at the box office. As long as we stay focused, the domestic animation industry is still very large.
Not to mention three years to sharpen a sword, even if it takes five years to sharpen a sword, there is still a lot to be achieved.
"Animated movies? Can that make money?"
Feng Jiming, who was standing by, heard this and asked back subconsciously.
