Huayu09: Starting with Hijacking Xiao Shenyang

"Old Han, this is a bit difficult. The movie-going craze has passed, and even a miracle can't reverse it. Xiao Mo has a lot of clever ideas, but you can't force the audience to go to the cinema, can you?"

Zhao Benshan picked up the conversation.

Some things should be said by the apprentice, and some things should be handled by the master.

"I understand, but the only person I can think of who can turn something rotten into something magical is Xiao Mo. 'Project Gutenberg' has opened a door to a new world."

Han Shanping expressed his understanding, but still put pressure on Chen Mo.

This incident had a huge impact on him.

It will affect your future career!

"Old Han, how about Benshan Media pays for some box office receipts?"

Given the current situation, the only way Zhao Benshan can think of to break the deadlock is through underhanded tactics: buying data with money. Although it's not honorable, it's still a superior way to win.

It also allows us to align our interests with Chairman Han's, which will bring many benefits in the future.

"No, no, no." Han Shanping shook his head repeatedly. "I'm not a top director, but I have my own principles. Besides, I need to set an example for others. Moreover, the influence of 'The Founding of a Republic' is too great. If the truth comes out, the consequences will be even more serious."

"I've also considered these things. My idea is to contact Wanda Cinemas. Lao Wang and I are from the same hometown and have a good relationship. I guarantee that things will be done well and discreetly."

"If you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place. I believe in Benshan's abilities, but I still can't do it."

"Then about this matter..."

Both of them fell into deep thought, and the room was quiet.

"So what's the key to this? If we can grasp the key, we can find a way to break the deadlock."

Chen Mo continued.

"Oh? Xiao Mo, tell me in detail, Uncle Han knew you had a way."

Han Shanping's eyes lit up.

"Then I'll take the liberty of calling you Uncle Han. I do have some humble opinions, but I also have some requests."

Chen Mo still made sure to address the unpleasant issues upfront.

"Please feel free to speak."

Han Shanping said in a deep voice.

"Uncle Han, as I said before, I'm young and I've said some things that were a bit too much. Please don't take it to heart. It's not that my master taught me badly; it's just that I was impulsive and ignorant."

Chen Mo frantically stacked armor.

"Hey kid, just say what you want to say. There's no one else in the house."

Zhao Benshan said something.

"Uncle Han, I'll say it again: please speak freely."

Han Shanping reiterated his position.

"I need Uncle Han to find a way to kick Huayi out of 'Chinese Zodiac,' including investment and distribution. They shouldn't be able to make a single penny from 'Chinese Zodiac.'"

Chen Motu revealed his true intentions.

Buying stocks is buying stocks, and helping Lao Liu get revenge is helping Lao Liu get revenge; the two are not contradictory.

Zhao Benshan remained silent.

Han Shanping didn't say anything, but his gaze shifted from Chen Mo to Liu Yifei.

Han Shanping was certainly aware that Huayi had made a public statement within the industry, blacklisting Liu Yifei.

The two young people are now inseparable and just waiting to make it official. However, Chen Mo is known for his vindictive nature. Instead of openly targeting Huayi, he asked Chen Mo to take action, probably because he was afraid of simultaneously clashing with both the Northwest and Beijing entertainment circles.

If they choose to intervene, Benshan Media can remain completely hidden and continue to pretend to be good brothers in front of Huayi. Once they've dealt with Xinxiang, they'll probably settle accounts with Huayi later.

What a brilliant strategy!

Therefore, Benshan Media's acquisition of Huayi's original shares was not about taking sides, but rather about delivering a fatal blow to Huayi at a crucial moment.

Han Shanping looked back at Chen Mo.

That brat is really protective of his own, and quite ruthless too.

I wonder if Zhang Er and Da Wang can hold out.

"Young man, you're willing to risk everything for a woman, aren't you?" Han Shanping nodded at Chen Mo, then quickly made up his mind. "Alright, I already owe you a favor. Don't worry, Uncle Han will handle things perfectly. Now, tell me your humble opinion."

Chen Mo chuckled and scratched his head, adding, "Uncle Han, this isn't a threat. Even if I had a few times the courage, I wouldn't dare threaten the chairman of China Film Group. I just want to get revenge on them, but I can't afford to make too many enemies right now."

Sincerity is always the ultimate weapon.

At this point, we can't try to be clever. We should just tell the truth. Chairman Han is a seasoned veteran and knows exactly what's going on.

"Stop patching, just hurry up!"

Han Shanping urged.

I was just short of kicking that brat in the butt.

"Uncle Han knows about film studios, right?"

"Of course, many companies are doing this. Huayi Brothers is also promoting its move away from filmmaking and aiming to create a Chinese Disney. Is there any necessary connection between the two?"

"My idea is different from theirs. I envision immersive tourism projects that allow tourists to participate, truly hear, see, and feel, transforming them from bystanders into participants. Uncle Han, if you were a tourist, visiting a scenic area, changing into ancient clothing, walking through ancient streets, playing ancient games, eating ancient dishes, spending ancient money, and even interacting with NPCs to earn ancient money, how would you feel?"

Chen Mo was referring to the new generation of immersive experience-based cultural and tourism consumption that the country has been promoting since 2020.

Its core is to transform tourists from bystanders into participants in history by combining cultural IP, technological empowerment, and scene reconstruction, thereby promoting the transformation of the cultural tourism industry from a sightseeing-oriented economy to an experience-oriented economy.

Its representative attractions include the Tang Dynasty Never Sleeping City and the Qingming Riverside Landscape Garden.

If any film and television city takes the lead in transforming itself in 2009, the profits it earns will be immeasurable.

and.

With the rapid development of the domestic economy and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the wave of outbound tourism has officially arrived.

The wealthy second generation, sophisticated white-collar workers who want to broaden their horizons abroad, and elderly people with large sums of retirement money, all go abroad to shop 'til they drop.

In 2009, there were approximately 4765 million outbound tourists.

In 2010, there were 5739 million visitors.

In 2011, there were 7025 million visitors.

In 2014, the number of outbound tourists officially exceeded 100 million.

A huge amount of money was earned by foreigners.

The higher-ups are watching with concern, but they can't say it out loud. It's the people's freedom to choose where to travel. If the country can't retain tourists, they can only look for the reasons within themselves.

In December 2009, a relevant document was issued, subtly proposing to focus on domestic tourism while developing outbound tourism in an orderly manner.

Chen Mo's meaning was clear: they needed to find a way to keep tourists and their money in China.

How can Han Shanping's predicament be resolved?

In a word.

They are accountable to their superiors but not to their subordinates.

I won't go into details here.

all in all.

Chen Mo's suggestion was adopted. The failure of a film was no big deal. As the main promoter of the project, Han Dong was not only blameless but also meritorious.

"Xiao Mo, tell me in detail."

Han Shanping narrowed his eyes and his heart raced. If he weren't afraid of being looked down upon by the younger generation, he would have jumped up excitedly long ago.

This idea is too ahead of its time.

He truly is a master of ideas!

"Master Han, let's do it this way: I'll write the script and make the movie. Let's establish the intellectual property first, giving this film studio a story..."

Chen Mo spoke eloquently.

The three listened attentively, occasionally making clicking sounds.

The brain is a wonderful thing.

Why don't I have one?

"In short, we'll use Benshan Media and Liaoning Province as pilot sites first. We'll see how it goes. If we can't attract tourists, then everything we say will be in vain."

Chen Mo was very confident, but he didn't rule out any possibility of a definitive answer.

"I think it's no problem, Lao Han. Last time I went home, several leaders also talked to me about building a film and television city. I had a lot of concerns at the time and didn't agree. Who would have thought that this brat would actually take it seriously and do it? Hahaha, it's like a fart in my pocket, what a coincidence."

"I will always remember what my master did. Benshan, it's another day of envying you. Xiao Mo, how long do you have to give Uncle Han a complete project plan?"

"Tomorrow, that's a good idea. The higher-ups will see it immediately. Our goal isn't to make money, but to create a new tourism model, using film and television to drive related industries and keep tourists spending money domestically."

"Haha, you little rascal, you always make making money sound so noble, but Uncle Han likes that principle."

"You little rascal, you're always coming up with mischievous ideas. It'd be great if it could help Uncle Han. We're in a good mood today, how about a few more drinks tonight?"

"We absolutely have to do it. I'll call and order some drinks."

"No need, no need, I'll have my wife go buy some, and a few good dishes too, so the three of us can have a good drink."

The two old men were having a great time chatting.

Chen Mo pulled Liu Yifei along and secretly slipped out of the room.

"Crunch!"

"Hey kid, where are you going!"

"Well, Master, I'll go back to my room to write the project proposal first. You and Uncle Han can have your drinks."

Chen Mo's voice faded into the distance.

"That brat!"

Zhao Benshan pretended to be angry.

"Haha, Benshan, we were all young once, long live understanding, long live understanding!"

Han Shanping offered a word of advice with a smile.
