Tao Zhiming showed a wry smile, and said sadly: "For the listing of the National Railway Branch, no less than 10% of the new shares will be subscribed by the capital of the United States. These new projects are all gladiators' plans! Those who lose will just wait. The impending catastrophe. Tisan, do you understand?"
Tsutsumi Yoshiaki seemed to be hit by a thunderbolt.
No wonder there is such a controversial development model, and no wonder the resignation of the Prime Minister followed.What is the Likulut incident, such a small matter with a total profit of hundreds of millions of yen, why did it cause so many people and even the prime minister to resign?
The new Prime Minister will be Uno Sou...how would he know?
The shares subscribed by American Capital, Gladiator's plan...
The endless fog seems to be spreading in front of Tsui Yoshiming, and the alliance Tao Zhiming mentioned is also like a stubborn resistance!
Tsutsumi raised his glass and said solemnly: "President Tao, you already know, please, please don't hide it from me!"
Chapter 434, Hidden Treasure
Today, Tao Zhiming feels that the situation on Nihong's side has been changed a lot by him.
Although Takegami still resigned, Aokitsubo was still alive and kicking the next day.He didn't commit suicide, because the Tao Ya people really mobilized their strength and limited the time of Riklut to the current scope to start further trials.
Takegami made a 90-degree deep bow, and he also stepped down from the stage.Neon people's high acceptance of "apology" is really not a cover, but it has stopped a lot, looking forward to whether Uno Zongyou will bring some new actions.
Meanwhile, many of the country's financially savvy citizens are preoccupied with other concerns.
The three branches of China National Railway, including Dongnihong, will be listed within this year, and the original shares will start to compete.
In the following week, Sony announced that together with Dimensional Culture, it would completely acquire Columbia Pictures for 35 billion yuan, while Mitsubishi would acquire the Rockefeller Building and hand it over to Iwasaki Noya for management.
Dimensional Culture immediately announced the establishment of Pantao Films, a joint venture with Moshang Culture, and announced a "Rising Star Director Program" jointly launched with Columbia Pictures to provide 3000 million yuan per year to support the works of 10 emerging directors.
The first batch of projects that have been confirmed to support is a film debut by the well-known comic actor Takeshi Kitano.
In addition, there is also "The Holy Gambler" by a new director of Xiangdao, Liu Zhenwei.
Even as far away as Hollywood in the United States, they supported the debut of a female director named Monica Bellucci who had never heard of it.
This news release is to continue to look for another 4 projects.
The news was sent back to Xiangdao, and the pot exploded for a while.
Li Jiacheng already knew that Tao Zhiming was going to take part in the acquisition of Columbia Pictures.
But he really didn't expect Tao Zhiming, who spent so much money to buy Columbia Pictures, not just to pay some money to the big American capital behind Tao Yaren, but actually prepared a plan to revitalize Columbia Pictures.
The 3000 million yuan supports 10 new directors, each with a maximum budget of 300 million yuan, equivalent to more than 2000 million Hong Kong dollars, which is really not a small investment.
And Liu Zhenwei, who just directed a Virgo movie, was actually the first person in Xiangdao to get the money.You must know that in Xiangdao at this time, a movie with an investment of more than 500 million is considered a big production.
Soon everyone figured out that Li Jiaxin will be the heroine of this work called "The Saint of Gamblers".
First it was a mansion of 2400 million yuan, and now it has thrown more than 2000 million yuan to support her. It can be said that it is in the palm of your hand.
Moreover, the producers are not limited to Columbia Pictures and Pantao Films.Dow Group has established another Dow Films, and will also invest a small amount of money.
"It's a big deal... New Star Director, 3000 million yuan per year, that's more than 2 million Hong Kong dollars. It's not like Brother Tao is just trying to praise Ms. Li. I talked to Director Liu before and he has a lot of ideas. This drama is also He wrote the screenplay by himself, and it is currently being cast. Ah Xing, you have already made a movie, it's time to try the leading role!"
Zhou Xingchi, who was still a little young, smiled awkwardly: "There are three films to be filmed this year..."
"They're all supporting roles, when will they be able to make their debut? Go audition for the lead role!"
"...Then go and try." Zhou Xingchi, who has just shifted his career focus to movies, actually doesn't have much confidence in himself, but he does have a desire for success.
"You must try it!" My friend tried to persuade, "Didn't Brother Tao take the initiative to chat with you when he came to play in Taiwan last year? He obviously appreciates you, and the chance is great!"
"...That's just seeing me by accident and being polite."
"Show some momentum!"
Zhou Xingchi was provoked, and opened his mouth exaggeratedly: "Fight!"
"That's enough!"
While speaking, Zhou Xingchi's BP machine also rang.
He looked at it, then walked outside suspiciously, found a public phone and called the paging center to ask.According to the meaning of the code, someone is looking for him to talk about important matters.In order to save money, Zhou Xingchi is not using a BP machine that can send text, only codes.
After dialing the phone, he reported his pager number, and then the paging center said: "Mr. Zhou, please remember a number, and then dial it back. The other party said his surname is Liu."
"...Okay." Zhou Xingchi kept reading the number in his mouth, and continued to dial the phone. After waiting for a while, he heard that the other side was connected, and said quickly, "Hello, I am Zhou Xingchi, the paging station said Mr. Liu is looking for me."
"Is it Zhou Sheng? I'm Liu Zhenwei. I want to ask you to see if it's suitable for a play. When will you have time to try it out?"
Zhou Xingchi's expression froze, and the hand holding the microphone tightened a lot: "Is it Director Liu? Which play, I'll follow your schedule..."
"It's "The Gambler". I've watched some of your roles before. If you're free today, come over and read the script first. Do you have time?"
"Yes, yes, where?"
After getting an address, Zhou Xingchi took a deep breath and asked, "Director Liu, thank you!"
"You don't need to thank me, if you want to thank you, thank Brother Tao, he recommended you."
"...Brother Tao?"
"He's here too, come here as soon as you have time."
Zhou Xingchi didn't dare to ask him whether the role he asked him to try was the protagonist or the supporting role, but since Tao Zhiming was there, maybe it was really a good opportunity.
He returned to the rented house in a hurry and began to find decent clothes to change into. His friend was dumbfounded: "What's wrong?"
"Audition. Director Liu called me and asked me to try it."
"Which Director Liu?"
"The one you just mentioned, "The Gambler"!"
"Really?" My friend stood up in shock, "He took the initiative to ask you to try it? Is it the protagonist?"
Only this kind of main role requires the director to choose the person himself.
Zhou Xingchi thought so too, not to mention that Director Tao he said was also there?But Zhou Xingchi just shook his head: "I don't know yet."
"A Xing, you must seize the opportunity!"
After Zhou Xingchi put on his shirt, he picked up a comb and was combing his hair, and said casually, "Try as much as you can."
"Show some momentum!"
"Yes!" A smile appeared on the corner of Zhou Xingchi's mouth, "Successful!"
He didn't mention the news that Director Tao was there, and he didn't seem to have heard that he returned to Xiangdao. Was it just for this drama?
Thinking of the acquaintance and appreciation he showed when he met him in the stage before, Zhou Xingchi was a little confused for a moment: Why did he pay attention to such a small role like himself?
……
Tao Zhiming's visit to Xiangdao this time is naturally not all because of this drama.
It was already May, the Huo family tried their best, and finally finished the first batch of goods needed for this year in the mainland, and Tao Zhiming had to make arrangements to send them to Ouyerte.
And after two months of intensive work in Neon, the layout over there has been set.This time, Li Jiacheng did not let Li Ju get involved in Zhao Yuanxi's increase in the shares of Pantao Club. Instead, he contacted him personally after the official announcement of the Kaguracho plan, saying that he wanted to talk about cooperation with Neon in Xiangdao.
So Tao Zhiming came back specially to welcome Zhang Rujing's official entry.
Since we have to turn over Li Jiaxin's cards first when we come here, we might as well deal with the matter of "The Gambler".
Sitting on the sofa in Tao Zhiming's mansion on Xiangdao, Liu Zhenwei said a little nervously: "Brother Tao, thank you for your trust in me. Please rest assured, I have put a lot of effort into this drama, and it will definitely be a hit!"
"Of course I believe this. I have also read the script. It is really great." Tao Zhiming is telling the truth. Right now is the golden age of Xiangdao movies. Liu Zhenwei only made one movie before, and now it is the second one. "The Saint of Gamblers" is very famous. Tao Zhiming had watched it when he was a child, and he knew that it was the first movie in Xiangdao with a box office of over 4000 million.
It's just that Li Jiaxin must be stuffed in now, I don't know if it will be bad.Fortunately, her role is also more facial, with more elements of vases.
To be on the safe side, Tao Zhiming simply recommended Zhou Xingchi when talking about this drama with Liu Zhenwei.
His time has come too.
Looking at Li Jiaxin who was sitting beside Tao Zhiming, Liu Zhenwei asked a little cautiously: "Brother Tao, do you think there is anything that needs to be revised regarding Miss Li's role?"
"I won't intervene in this." Tao Zhiming shook his head directly, "In this regard, I'll listen to you. I only made this request, which is a bit inappropriate. I also read the script for Zhou Xingchi, and I think he is suitable. I recommend it. Yes It's not suitable for this role, how he should play, you still need to dig and control. I didn't have any friendship with him before, don't get me wrong."
"That's Brother Tao supporting the newcomers." Liu Zhenwei was relieved a lot.
Tao Zhiming smiled back, what about supporting newcomers, this is a hidden treasure in advance.
Thinking of this, he sighed: ""A Lang's Story" is so popular now, how much is the box office?"
Liu Zhenwei said with a little admiration: "Since it was released in March, it has reached almost 3 million. There are still some theaters showing it, so it should exceed 3000 million."
Tao Zhiming blinked his eyes: "Director Liu, then your drama will hit 4000 million yuan. I am very optimistic about this theme, so don't worry, even if this drama doesn't meet your expectations, your next drama will I will also give priority to investing!"
"Then thank Brother Tao first!" Liu Zhenwei didn't expect to hug a thigh like this.
Li Jiaxin has been sitting next to her, and when she heard that it was going to hit 4000 million, wouldn't that be a record?
As the heroine of a record-breaking movie, she looked forward to it.
During the conversation, Zhong Zhisen led Zhou Xingchi in.
Seeing the restrained Zhou Xingchi, Tao Zhiming stood up first and shouted, "Mr. Zhou, come and sit down."
The director of the movie is there, the investors are there, and the heroine is also there.After Zhou Xingchi came over, he smiled and said hello one by one, but Li Jiaxin was looking at him.
Although he looks handsome, but he is not tall, he is not well dressed, and he has no temperament. I don't know why Brother Tao recommended him.
In Taiwan, there are no potential actors who have attracted attention.
Zhou Xingchi greeted them nervously for a while, and Liu Zhenwei handed him the script and said, "Look first, the one I want you to try is the protagonist."
"...Understood! Give me a few minutes, I'll take a look first."
After finishing speaking, he solemnly held the script in his hand, opened it and read it seriously.
Looking at him, Tao Zhiming couldn't help but think of his performance in "The King of Comedy".
Been in this circle for almost ten years.For so many years, he has probably been thinking that one day, he will have a chance to play the leading role.
After a lot of accumulation, Liu Zhenwei let him try a scene first.
He was obviously very quiet and quiet just now, and he was asked to start acting in a funny comedy scene, but he quickly entered the state, and the way he shuffled cards was extremely exaggerated.
Li Jiaxin's face is weird, isn't this kind of acting too childish?
Liu Zhenwei's eyes lit up, and he said after watching, "Zhou Sheng, your style is a bit interesting. I think it can be a little more exaggerated."
"Thank you, Director Liu, for your approval. Since this character is from the mainland, I think it should have some of its own characteristics. It's a bit dull, which is more in line with the setting of the character."
Tao Zhiming did not interfere with their communication and creation. Seeing that Liu Zhenwei seemed to like him very much, he said, "Director Liu, Mr. Zhou, you can further confirm the drama later. After the cast is decided, when will the crew start filming? At that time, I will come to the scene to make a show. By the way, my big yacht will arrive before the end of the year, and it will be a gimmick for you to shoot at that time."
Liu Zhenwei was overjoyed: "That's a big scene!"
Tao Zhiming stood up and shook hands with them: "Do it well. Also, Jiaxin, you must listen to Director Liu's arrangements in the crew, and don't delay things. Director Liu, don't be shy, let her act as you want, and don't affect quality of play."
"I understand. It is my wish to have Ms. Li as the heroine."
Li Jiaxin secretly agreed in her heart, of course.
Tao Zhiming, however, glanced at her and joked with a smile: "After the release, we will see how the reviews are. You must be mentally prepared when the time comes."
"Don't look down on me! I will act well!"
Tao Zhiming pointed at her and said to Liu Zhenwei: "If she puts on airs in the crew, you can tell me to change her, and I absolutely agree with both hands. I have to prove myself."
Liu Zhenwei smiled sarcastically, what are you doing?
From the looks of it, Li Jiaxin was still a bit petty in front of Tao Zhiming, not very obedient and obedient.It was rumored that Tao Zhiming was obsessed with her. It seemed a bit true, but she still let her play tricks...
Seeing that Tao Zhiming was busy, Liu Zhenwei and Zhou Xingchi said goodbye and left.
Tao Zhiming patted the peach and said: "If you want to prove yourself, you should read the script carefully, think about how to act, and polish your acting skills."
"Do you really want to use him to play the leading role? Why not find someone like Fa Ge?"
"Why, you still look down on him?"
"It's ugly, short, and doesn't have the appearance of the protagonist..."
Tao Zhiming chuckled: "Just looking at you like this, I won't be able to prove myself in the future. Director Liu is also very optimistic about him, can't you see it?"
"...whatever you say is what you say." Li Jiaxin was angry instead, "You hurt me by slapping me!"
"I didn't use any strength at all!" Tao Zhiming smiled and stroked his pain-relieving appearance, "I'm going to meet Li Sheng first, wait for me at home."
After leaving the house, the car drove him straight to Li Jiacheng's house.
For the family dinner he invited today, Tao Zhiming was also thinking about what kind of cooperation Li Jiacheng, who had a close relationship with Tao Yaren, hoped to discuss with him face to face?
And also specifically mentioned the cooperation with Neon...
