I'm A Baller - Chapter 385
Chapter 385: Top Producer
With the help of Li Yixu, Wang Yan finally had the chance to visit the legendary MUSE bar.
It was amazing that a club actually opened on the fourth floor of Hong Kong Island Plaza, and there was a large ‘2’ hanging on the sign.
The facade was nothing much, and it could no longer intimidate Young Master Wang, who was gaining knowledge day by day. However, going to a nightclub at noon was quite a novel experience.
The bar was not open yet. It was empty and without lights. A messy and solemn atmosphere blew into their faces. It was hard to imagine the extravagance after the neon lights were turned on at night.
The waiter was not energetic, but he was respectful enough to lead Wang Yan to the VIP area on the second floor.
Li Yixu was waiting at the door of the private room. When he saw Wang Yan, he warmly came up to shake hands and hug him.
“Brother, you’re so handsome today!”
“Brother Xu, don’t mess around. When have I not been handsome?”
Li Yixu was very good at getting close to Wang Yan. Wang Yan did not pretend to be cold and aloof. He laughed and joked with him.
The private room was beautifully decorated. The three colors of gray, black, and gold were perfectly combined. The luxurious atmosphere did not have any explosive aura. It was better than the view outside.
There was only one person in the private room. It was a woman.
She was in her early forties. She had a round face and wore rimless glasses. She had an amiable temperament, but her eyes were sharp.
“An Xiaofang, president of Dacheng Media. I’m a famous producer in the industry. My name is Sister An. You can call me Sister An.”
“Sister An, this is my friend, the genius of the live broadcast industry, the behind-the-scenes boss of Wangting Yule, Wang Yan, Wang Shao.”
Li Yixu finished introducing the two of them in two sentences. Wang Yan and an Xiaofang’s eyes met, and for a moment, they sized each other up.
Wang Yan didn’t have any special feelings, but an Xiaofang was amazed.
This youngster’s aura was so strong!
An Xiaofang was the same as President Jia Li’ai. She wasn’t a pure service worker, but a controller who stood at the top of the entertainment circle. She had examined countless handsome men and beautiful women.
The first impression that Wang Yan gave her was different.
As the saying went, the residence moved to nourish the Qi and move the body. A real noble son couldn’t act it out.
On the big screen, no matter how noble a character looked, if one went to the filming location, most of them would be pompous and disjointed performances.
What elegant, calm, and gentle as jade, they were all nonsense.
However, there was something special about Wang Yan. An Xiaofang could not describe it for a moment, but she could feel that intense aura.
When she heard that Wang Yan was from a coal family, an Xiaofang couldn’t help but look down on him. However, at this moment, she completely dispelled it.
Interesting!
Let’s talk about it..
As she sat down, Wang Yan glanced at the coffee table and his eyebrows jumped.
Champagne with duck, spicy fried seafood, fruit plate with potato chips, steak with grilled wings, and egg fried rice.
It was a magical environment and a magical lunch.
“I didn’t have time to eat in the morning. I’m so hungry, so I’ll put some food on the table first. You two can order whatever you want. Let’s talk while we eat.”
An Xiaofang greeted Wang Yan and Li Yixu warmly. She picked up a small bowl and scooped a bowl of egg fried rice for herself.
Interesting.
Wang Yan saw that An Xiaofang was eating happily. He directly picked up the egg fried rice plate and asked Li Yixu, “I’ll give you a bowl? I’ll take the rest.”
His actions were natural, but his tone was more natural.
“Okay.” Li Yixu didn’t stand on ceremony and took the bowl himself. “I’m a small eater. Let’s eat more than half a bowl.”
They didn’t even exchange pleasantries and started to eat.
However, the atmosphere was very good. There was no tit-for-tat and utilitarian business negotiation. It was really like a gathering of friends.
As they ate and chatted, Young Master Wang finally knew what kind of big sister an Xiaofang was.
Jin Yiwei, Ye Wen 1, Ye Wen 2’s producer, producer, and publisher, as well as Tiny Times 12’s producer, publisher, and producer, were they good enough?
Wang Yan was shocked. He did not expect Li Yixu to invite such a big shot.
An Xiaofang was not a well-known producer like Han Sanye or Huayi Wangda, but a real production producer. ‘Jin Yiwei’ was considered the second production, while the ‘Tiny Times’ series was her first production.
Dacheng Media itself was a film company that covered the production and distribution business. It was a serious upper echelon of the food chain.
Sister An’s ability and connections in the entertainment industry could easily rank in the top 100.
In fact, her power was secondary. What Wang Yan valued the most was her experience in producing three action movies.
There were only so many producers in the country who had experience in producing action movies. After eliminating those company bosses who could not possibly take on external movies, there were only a few left.
An Xiaofang’s standard in distribution and marketing was very trustworthy.
Was ‘Tiny Times’ a good movie?
Wang Yan did not watch it and did not dare to make any comments.
However, the ‘Tiny Times’ series was definitely a successful movie. It was as easy as peeing in the toilet when it came to making money.
Master Wang did not think about how much money ‘The Witch’ could make, but he really wanted ‘The Witch’ to be popular. This required an experienced and capable producer to be the project sponsor as well as the marketing promoter.
If they could reach an agreement… it would basically be her!
Young Master Wang was very satisfied with An Xiaofang, but An Xiaofang was still investigating Wang Yan.
Every sentence that seemed to be a casual chat was basically to probe Wang Yan’s background.
Moreover, he was able to probe into things at a high level.
“Is this Young Master Wang’s first time visiting MUSE?”
“Yes.”
“Jia Ling’s MUSE used to be the headquarters of Shanghai and Hong Kong’s celebrities, and it was very lively. Unfortunately, MUSE2 no longer has that kind of popularity, and the MUSE in The Bund is even less interesting.”
Wang Yan couldn’t quite catch up. He was really unfamiliar with the entertainment industry.
The main reason was that he didn’t understand what she meant. Based on the principle of saying less and making fewer mistakes, he could just smile and forget about it.
An Xiaofang sighed again. “But no matter what, it’s better than the capital’s Beauty Association. The former celebrity clubhouse is actually about to close down…”
Young Master Wang had already realized that these two sentences were not endless sighs, but he really did not understand.
He smiled apologetically and said, “I’m young, so I don’t go to bars much.”
An Xiaofang saw this and immediately confirmed Wang Yan’s status.
He was really a layman, the pure white kind.
Shanghai MUSE, the capital’s beauty club, actually represented the headquarters of two celebrities.
There was no need to go there. If one had connections and background in the entertainment industry, they would definitely have heard of it. After all, there were only a few nightclubs on the mainland that were run by famous movie stars and frequented by people in the industry.
An Xiaofang was instantly disinterested in Wang Yan.
It was easy to scam laymen, but the coal mine boss was now the hardest to scam.
Since the coal mine boss’ investment boom subsided in the past 12 years, there were not many second-generation coal mine bosses who dared to project projects in a year. Even if there were, it was all for the sake of a honey. They were extremely stingy and cautious.
They were afraid of being cheated.
Moreover, Wang Yan was obviously a very smart and shrewd son of an influential family. It was not easy to get rid of him.
He was also a pure layman and could not produce any high-quality projects.
There was neither money nor prospects. It was too boring.
As a big shot who stood at the top, An Xiaofang did not want to waste time on this kind of nonsense where there was no profit to be seen.
She glanced at Li Yixu and secretly blamed this child for wasting her time. An Xiaofang was ready to perfunctorily say a few more words and find an opportunity to end today’s meeting.
At this moment, Wang Yan took out a script from his bag and handed it to An Xiaofang.
“Sister An, I came up with the first draft of the script myself. Please correct it.”
Huh?!
You’re really overestimating yourself? !
If you’re willing to act, I’ll support you no matter how much effort I put in.
You’re not even 20 years old, yet you dare to learn to write like someone else even though you majored in economics?!
An Xiaofang almost wanted to laugh, but Li Yixu had to give her face. After all, she was the biological nephew of her partner.
Fine, then take a quick glance and find a few mistakes so that this beautiful child would give up.
An Xiaofang took the script and smiled at Wang Yan without batting an eyelid. She lowered her head.
