Chapter 88 Visiting the door
After Zheng Yan decided, he discussed with Miyuki Aso the next morning to determine what kind of box office base is reasonable. Finally, in order to attract more theaters and future cooperation, Zheng Yan set the annual box office rankings last year, with the film "Oriental Condor" ranked tenth as the standard.
"Zheng Jun, is this too risky?" Aso Mixue asked with some concern.
You should know that this is the period of high productivity of Hong Kong City movies, with hundreds of movies released a year, ranking among the top ten is already a very good result. Moreover, the total box office of "Oriental Condor" also exceeded 20 million, and the share of theaters and theaters must be more than 57%. Even if the share of theaters and theaters can be reduced due to the guarantee agreement, if the results of "Gambling Saint" are not ideal, Zheng Yan still has to pay about 10 million to pay for this behavior.
"Meixue, there is an old saying in China, that is, you can't bear to let your children go and you can't trap a wolf. Since you want a good harvest, you must have early investment. Just talk according to this. It would be better if you can make the other party's share lower." Zheng Yan said confidently.
After spending time with Zheng Yan, Aso Miyuki knew that Zheng Yan was not the kind of person who easily changed his decisions, so he went directly to do what Zheng Yan arranged.
"Zheng Yan, you are so confident? That's not 1,000 yuan, but 10 million yuan? Although this movie is really good, what if you lose money?"
Although Li Yanran thinks that Zheng Yan is good everywhere, it is impossible to think that Zheng Yan can do anything well. Although Hong Kong City shoots many movies every year, very few can reach 20 million box offices.
"Don't worry, I dare not say whether I make money or not, at least I won't lose money." Zheng Yan thought to himself: "I wish I could sign such an agreement every time. In this way, I could save at least more than 10 million in making five or six movies a year."
"By the way, Yanran, will your dad be free tonight? If you have time, I want to visit my home." Zheng Yan said to Li Yanran.
Since the decision has been made about the movie and Aso Miyuki has gone to negotiate, Zheng Yan feels that it is time for him to handle the important matters.
"My dad? I haven't come home yet, it's useless for you to ask me. But it's okay, I can call and ask." After Li Yanran said that, she ran to call.
While running, Li Yanran thought to herself: "Is this considered formal meeting with parents?" She completely ignored the existence of Zheng Yan's genuine girlfriend An Ran.
After a while, Li Yanran ran back again, "Zheng Yan, my dad is at home tonight, and I'm very happy to hear that you want to go over. Look at when will we go over?"
Zheng Yan thought about it and since he was visiting in the evening, it was still in the morning, so he was not in a hurry. Before coming, Zheng Yan asked Liu Wei to take two bottles of special Maotai from his home as a gift. Since he was visiting, of course he had to bring a gift to Li Yanran's mother. In addition, Li Yanran's grandfather is still alive, so it cannot be ignored.
Originally, Zheng Yan planned to directly bring some gifts from the mainland that were not available in the port city, but after thinking about it, there was nothing suitable. Only this special Moutai, although the value may not be high, the key is that it cannot be purchased on the market.
"Yanran, didn't you say we'll go to the evening? It's not yet noon yet. Why don't we go out for a meal and then accompany me to buy some gifts? It's not easy to go empty-handed when you first visit, right?"
Although Li Yanran felt that there was no need to bring gifts, she did not refuse and took Zheng Yan to Causeway Bay. After lunch, the two of them entered the mall.
During the process of buying gifts, Zheng Yan suffered from choice. He said that his relationship with Li Yanran was a friend, but he was closer than his friend; he said that he was a lover, but he already had a girlfriend, so it was difficult to buy gifts. Gifts were too expensive and inappropriate, and they were too cheap and not good.
Li Yanran finally couldn't stand it anymore, so she made a decision for Zheng Yan. She bought a good set of cosmetics for Li Yanran's mother, and then bought some supplements. The cosmetics were undoubtedly Zheng Yan's mother's. As for the supplements and wine, how Zheng Yan's grandfather and father distributed them, Zheng Yan didn't think about it.
"Why didn't I notice it before? You didn't even blink your eyes. Why is it so hard to choose a gift?" After coming out of the mall, Li Yanran said with regret.
Of course, Zheng Yan would not admit that he had some symptoms of difficulty in choosing in this regard, and said with a hard mouth: "Buy gifts for elders, of course you have to use snacks. The ancients said: Giving goose feathers thousands of miles away is less gifts, and the feelings are more important. The important thing is the heart. Forget it, you don't understand what you say to you."
Li Yanran looked at Zheng Yan blankly without saying anything, looking at the meaning: Twist, keep pulling, I'll listen.
Zheng Yan was a little furious when Li Yanran saw it, and said to Li Yanran: "Cough cough... Okay, let's go back first, and then hurry to your house after getting the drinks. It's the first time I'm here, I can't go too late."
After the two returned to the villa, they found that Li Yanran's father Li Bin had sent the driver to wait. So Zheng Yan went into the house to change his clothes, took the gift and got into the car.
"By the way, Yanran, I don't know where your family lives?"
Zheng Yan thought that although he met Li Yanran when he first came to Hong Kong City, and the two of them had experienced life and death together, their interactions were always in the vacant villa of Li Yanran's house. Li Yanran never said where his home was, and Zheng Yan never asked.
"My family lives on Taiping Mountain. It's not very far from here, I'll arrive in a while."
Zheng Yan really doesn't know what is not far away. But Zheng Yan knows very well about Taiping Mountain.
Taiping Mountain is located in the Central and Western District of Harbor City. It is the most traditional gathering area for wealthy people in Harbor City. It is 554 meters above sea level and is the highest peak in Hong Kong Island.
In 1904, the Hong Kong City Government issued a bill to prohibit Chinese people from living on the top of the mountain, and it was not abolished until 1947. However, there was an exception. In 1906, He Dong was allowed to live in the Mid-mountain of the Central Ring Road, becoming the first Chinese to live on the top of Taiping Mountain.
Later, the villas in the half-mountain of Taiping Mountain were even hyped up to sky-high prices, and the value of any villa was in units of billions. Even so, they were asking for the public and offering nothing.
Although there are not many residents in the middle of the mountain, it is not an exaggeration to say that it has gathered one of the largest wealth circles in China.
"Zheng Yan, what are you thinking? Get out of the car quickly and we're here."
Just as Zheng Yan reviewed this information, Li Yanran's voice came to his ears.
