Chapter 605: Pulling Investment


Just as Zhang Yuan expected, the news of his reconciliation with Sister Hua quickly spread like wildfire in the circle.

Although it was a reconciliation, everyone's reaction was...

"Zhang Yuan has taken care of Sister Hua!"

That's the benefit of being low.

As long as you can finish the Paralympic Games, you are a hero. Liu Xiang was scolded for several years even if he retired due to illness.

If you have different psychological expectations and face the same result, you will of course come to different conclusions.

Wang Jinhua also saw the magazine report and understood how such a coincidence could happen.

They chose a hidden restaurant for their meal and reconciliation.

This was all photographed.

coincide?

She didn't believe it anyway.

I could only praise him for his good skills.

Of course she was dissatisfied with Zhang Yuan, but she was even more dissatisfied with Chengtian's boss Wu Kebo.

After this incident, Sister Hua started to stab her in the back again.

She also found it annoying.

Because she had made countless phone calls to block Zhang Yuan.

Now there will be countless calls back asking what happened.

She had to lick her face and explain each one.

It felt uncomfortable in my heart.

But at the same time, I also heard about Hua Yi’s actions.

Although it sounds ridiculous, Sister Hua understands that if she really touches this guy, Hua Yi will have an excuse to touch her.

It is difficult for him to reconcile with Hua Yi, but his subordinates still have to eat.

So I had to put my mind down for the time being.

"I wonder if he will be able to move around in a few more years?" Sister Hua muttered to herself.

The other two, Jiang Wenli and Chang Jihong, also received the news.

"Let me just say, the overall situation is undecided." Jiang Wenli said calmly, holding her shoulders.

"I have met him and know he is a smart man."

"You can't underestimate him."

Chang Jihong nodded with a bad expression.

Who knew he could get through it so easily.

If an artist of the same age had gone through this experience, even if he did not withdraw from the industry, he would have to stay dormant for several years and wait for a new backer to regain his momentum.

"Although Liu Ye's incident was related to him, it was not done by him." Jiang Wenli held a lady's cigarette in her hand and looked sideways at her old friend with a charming look.

"It's not just Zhao Baogang who wants to reap benefits, pimp him out, and fix things for Li Xiaoran."

"The result is our own fault."

"I heard that Xiaoran and Zhang Yuan have a good relationship."

"Because of Xiaoran's incident, Ye Zi left and memorized the words."

"This time because of Cheng Hao's business, he dared to have sex with Sister Hua."

"This kid is still a passionate seed." Jiang Wenli teased.

Chang Jihong understood the underlying meaning of his old friend's words.

Zhang Yuan can talk well without provoking his woman.

So even if Li Xiaoran is hers, she can't deliberately wear small shoes.

Don't worry, this kid has done something wrong again.

Chang Ji Hongye thought, thanks to Wen Li's intervention, if I had taken the initiative, the matter would have been settled before it was done.

Wouldn't he be ridiculed like Hua Yi?

"Okay, I understand, it's just that the water in the well does not interfere with the water in the river." Chang Jihong said helplessly.

"Huh..." Jiang Wenli put on a smoke ring: "It's not just well water, it's not river water."

"He is a person who will be polite to you if you are polite. Together we can benefit both sides."

While they were chatting, there were two middle-aged women chatting elsewhere.

"Haha, Wang Jinhua is nothing more than that." Li Shaohong chuckled.

This man has a very high self-esteem and has always looked down on people with "mud-legged" backgrounds like Chang Jihong and Wang Jinhua.

I came from a background with a primary school degree and went straight to Nortel.

What's my relationship? What's your level?

"In my place, if a young man like this dares to bare his teeth, I'll make sure he's docile and obedient!"

Li Shaohong said loudly on purpose.

Because she was not the only one in the office.

In addition to her, Li Xiaowan, a partner of Lungda, was also there.

But this was not meant for Li Xiaowan.

Because there was another person at the scene.

Yang Mi!

Zhong Mi Mi, who was not yet complete at this time, shook his shoulders when he heard the boss's shout.

Li Shaohong dared to speak so loudly not only because of her deep connections in the imperial circle, but also because of the confidence given to her by the company's recent big moves.

It was the "Dream of Red Mansions" that I took over from director Hu Mei.

The top IP is in my hands.

Everyone knows what is not allowed to be done, so we are honored to be in the limelight!

We must definitely recreate the glory of "Oranges Are Red" and "Ci of Daming Palace"!

At the same time, it also lets Zhou Xun, the first sister of the second and fifth generation, know what a stupid decision it was to leave our company.

And Yang Mi came here today for this reason.

Although the casting for "Dream of Red Mansions" has not yet been announced, the company has recently signed a large number of new people!

She thought something was wrong and went to inquire.

Only then did I realize that most of the main characters in "A Dream of Red Mansions" have been determined by others.

Zhou Xun is gone, and now Zeng Li is the only one left.

With Zeng Li's image, she can't play Lin Daiyu or Xue Baochai. At most, Jia Yuanchun would be more suitable.

Yang Mi has such a "big heart". After Zhou Xun, the first sister, left, she went straight to become the new first sister of the company.

But as a result, the company's "Dream of Red Mansions" project had a meeting.

She thought, I signed an 8-year contract with the company, I came early and I have seniority.

I have not participated in any of the company's projects in recent years.

I have contributed to the club!

It's good now that "Dream of Red Mansions" chose a storyteller... not a protagonist, but it swept me aside.

Of course Yang Mi went to Lin Daiyu.

Xue Baochai can take a step back.

As a result, you arranged for me a Qingwen who is even worse than a maid like Xi Ren...

In fact, Yang Mi also suffered from a lack of cultural background.

Qingwen ranked first among the twelve beauties in Jinling, while Xiren only ranked second.

In terms of importance, Qingwen is still higher.

Moreover, the book commented that she has eyebrows like jade, is good at needlework, articulate, and has a strong temper. She is an atypical female character with a new female image.

In terms of personality, he is actually a bit similar to Yang Mi.

But don’t be afraid that there will be no good things, just be afraid that there will be no good people.

As a die-hard member of the company, Yang Mi has questioned the company's arrangements. As the boss, you, Li Shaohong, have nice things to say.

But these old ladies also have a bad temper.

"Your acting skills, abilities, and appearance are not up to the requirements of playing Daiyu."

A direct attack on both professionalism and appearance.

What if Lungda calls it a "star training class"?

Anyone who is famous has to leave.

Yang Mi was naturally unhappy when he heard this.

In addition, Jiang Mengjie, Li Qin, Song Yi and other peers are coming.

Each of these newcomers has gained a role that is more important than themselves.

Yang Mi felt a strong sense of crisis.

Somewhat chilling.

If you treat old employees like this, you won't feel bad.

Besides, Li Shaohong has just gotten involved with Boyao Group.

The original shooting cost of 45 million was increased to 120 million!

This is a TV series!

This amount of money is all it takes to shoot "The Night Banquet".

120 million, enough to film 10 "Soldiers" and 4 "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

This is so awesome for Li Shaohong...

I can do what Hu Mei can't do.

I can handle the highest TV drama budget in the country!

The boss of Boyu Group is Ding Shumiao, who was an in-depth participant in the later major railway case.

Nicknamed Railway Sister.

Is the money well earned?

So at this time, Yang Mi didn't know that it was actually not a bad thing to only play the small role of Qingwen.

Unlike Li Shaohong, whose eyes are higher than his head, partner Li Xiaowan is counting on his fingers.

"Zhang Yuan first confronted Chang Jihong."

"Now I'm having sex with Sister Hua again."

"There are only three well-known female agents in the imperial circle."

"Based on the head count, it won't be my turn next..."

"He dares!" Li Shaohong raised his voice as he listened to his friend's mutterings.

Yang Mi, who was sitting obediently on the side, whispered in his heart: "What does he dare not do?"

"Xiao Mi, the casting for "A Dream of Red Mansions" has been decided." Li Shaohong turned to her and said.

"This play is very important. I want to make it a masterpiece."

"You can't act whatever you want."

"Then if there are other dramas on the same schedule, can I..." Yang Mi asked tentatively.

"What can you do?" Li Shaohong glared: "If you are asked to act, just act honestly."

"If you don't perform well, I will remember you forever!"

It is said that if you hit a stick, you will get a sweet date, but when it comes to Sister Li, all that is left is a stick.

If you are asked to act, you must act. If you don't act, you won't be able to do it. If you don't accept it, you won't be able to do it. If you don't act well, you won't be able to do it.

After leaving the boss's office angrily, Yang Mi pouted and looked back.

"You didn't take me seriously at all."

She just listened carefully and learned from the two bosses what Zhang Yuan had done recently. “If I had known, I wouldn’t have signed the contract for such a long time with Honor.”

"It's better to follow Zhang Yuan."

"At least he doesn't bully me."

"Maybe there's still a chance to be a boss lady."

Yang Mi lowered his head and looked at his chest: "Well, it depends on you two."

"Hmph!" Yang Mi raised her chin proudly: "Don't think I don't know that you keep peeking at my chest."

After she left the company, she found a secluded corner and called Zhang Yuan.

Thinking about "revolting" someday in the future, so as to leave a way out for myself.

"Well, there aren't many roles for you recently." After receiving the call, Zhang Yuan came to a corner of his home and said steadily.

"After all, it's not appropriate to give you a small role as a cat or a dog, right."

Although it was a rejection, Yang Mi felt much better after hearing what he said.

Hum, the same boss, Zhang Yuan speaks much better than Li Shaohong... Yang Mi increasingly feels that the company treats her badly.

"You have been focusing on your studies recently."

"Complete your studies first before you can achieve your goals."

"I know, if there is a role suitable for you, I will pay attention to it."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yuan thought for a while.

"Yang Mi is quite useful."

"But it's not yet time."

Zhang Yuan asked her to focus on her studies first because by the time she graduates from Nortel, her contract with Honorda would have almost expired.

"Don't rush yet."

With that said, he returned to the reception room.

He is also entertaining guests here.

The visitors are members of the "Apple" crew.

Except for Zhu Yawen, who had just been transferred by him, who seemed a little timid, Fan Bingbing and director Li Yu were both very impressive.

There was also a middle-aged man present.

It’s Fang Li, the film’s producer.

In fact, this person has some fate with Zhang Yuan.

Brother Fang Li is a person somewhat similar to Cameron.

"Apple" is the first time he has participated in the production of a movie, and he has also invested in several films before to test the waters.

But this man has a technical background, and he founded the world's largest geophysical instrument company.

When he later filmed "The Sinking of the Lisbon Maru", the instruments used to scan and detect the sunken ship were all made by his own company.

Cameron also loves tinkering with underwater instruments.

It is said that it is related to Zhang Yuan because the black box from the plane crash in 2002 was recovered using their company's equipment.

It’s just that I avoided an air crash in this life.

"As one of the producers, I have a few opinions to say." Zhang Yuan raised his arms.

"You mention it." The director glanced at Fang Li before speaking.

One look at this posture and you can tell that the director is still focused on Fang Li.

"First of all, our movie needs to be renamed. It can't be called "Lost in the Empire."

"Why?"

"The imperial capital is too sensitive." Zhang Yuan said bluntly.

"Change the name..." Li Yu looked at Fang Li again.

Brother Fang hugged his shoulders and said nothing.

"What else?"

"Also, since the name has been changed, the filming location of the film should also be changed."

"Stop shooting in the imperial capital, change it to the magical capital."

"Why?"

"The imperial capital is too sensitive." Zhang Yuan gave the same answer.

"But if we change the filming to the Magic City, we have to change the details of the script." At this time, Fang Li said.

"Moreover, moving the entire crew to Shanghai will significantly increase shooting and communication costs."

Fang Li was not very satisfied with him.

Why did a producer suddenly appear?

Not only has the male lead been changed, but now the title and filming location have also been changed.

Who has the final say on this crew?

Seeing that the two producers were not responding, Zhu Yawen hunched his shoulders and leaned back.

When Fan Xiaopang saw this, he wanted to smooth things over.

But Zhang Yuan raised his hand to refuse.

"Everything I do is for the film."

"A few days ago, I went to see Yang Buting and took the script with me." Zhang Yuan had no intention of giving in.

"These opinions are confirmed by the leader who is also the vice president of China Film and Television and the deputy bureau of the Radio, Film and Television Administration."

"As far as I know, you have submitted several films before."

"None of them have passed the review and can be broadcast in the country, right?"

There are many reasons why they cannot be broadcast, the biggest of which is that those films have foreign capital behind them.

Most of these literary and artistic films with foreign capital have impure purposes and are so-called "underground films."

The butt determines the head. Whoever gives you money is the one you have to talk to.

If you take money from a foreigner, you are just like a mistress, let alone an independent personality.

When this was mentioned, Fang Li became angry.

Why did you cast Fan Bingbing for this film?

If you don’t want to show it in mainland China, why not do it with Fan Bingbing?

"Since we want to broadcast domestically, we can't just focus on foreign awards."

"Then our goals should be the golden rooster, golden statue and golden horse."

Although he was on Fang Li's side, director Li Yu nodded slightly after listening to his analysis.

We can't keep making movies that only two or three people can perform without letting them be broadcast.

She also wants to make a name for herself in mainland China.

"Hmm..." Fang Li also calmed down.

Having invested in so many movies over the years, they are basically generating electricity for love, and he also wants to make money.

"Even if I follow what you said, what should I do if I can invest?"

"Will you make up for it?"

"No." Zhang Yuan shook his head.

"Isn't that enough..." Fang Li leaned back.

The film "Apple" was originally submitted by Bona, but in order to pass the review, the script had actually been revised several times, and it was much more restrained.

After the script became "conservative," Boehner was no longer interested.

This resulted in a sharp drop in film investment.

At first there were 10 million.

Now there are only 5 million left.

It was Fan Bingbing who significantly reduced her salary and turned her salary into investment.

He signed a contract with a salary of only 500,000 yuan, but participated in a 20% share of box office revenue.

Our funds are tight here, but you have also increased the cost of filming. It’s really...

"Mr. Fang, you may have participated in too many foreign awards and are not familiar with the award policies of the mainland and Baodao."

Zhang Yuan spoke leisurely.

"Leave aside the golden rooster, whether it's a golden horse or a golden statue, if you want to participate in the election, you must have investment and script members."

"The Academy Awards are the most stringent. Not only half of the crew members must be locals from Hong Kong, but the director must also be a resident of Hong Kong identity."

"Director Li, you don't meet the conditions, right?"

Li Yu shook his head.

It's Shandong...

"Where's the Golden Horse Award..." Zhang Yuang just spoke, and Fang Li immediately received it.

"There are no restrictions on the Golden Horse. The requirements are the loosest."

"There is no problem with the Golden Horse, but China Broadcasting and Television has requirements for mainland-owned films to go out to award awards." Zhang Yuan spoke immediately.

"Without investment from Xiangjiang or Baodao, theoretically, you are not allowed to participate in the local selection."

"Very few people mention this. You don't know."

Fang Li opened his mouth but said nothing.

Fan Bingbing glanced at Zhang Yuan with her big eyes, and then chuckled.

"Mr. Fang, Zhang Yuan may be more keen on policy and know more."

"Ah..." Fang Li could only nod.

Zhang Yuan knows it too well!

Because in the past life, this film was withdrawn by Radio and Television using this excuse!

"The Fallen Leaves Return to Their Roots", "The Sun Also Rises", and "The Ballad of Clouds and Waters" from the same period were all fine.

Because there are either Hong Kong or Taiwanese investors behind these films.

However, the reasons why this film was withdrawn are very complicated. The restricted content is one of them.

On the other hand, it can be regarded as bad luck...

The superiors introduced this regulation, which no one usually paid much attention to, and withdrew "Apple," a purely mainland-invested film.

Parents quarrel and don't let children play at the other side's house...that's pretty much what it means.

Therefore, to do things correctly, there must be connections.

The higher-ups can turn a blind eye, but once the official goes online, you really don't know how to die.

"Mr. Fang, we all hope that this film will win awards and become famous, right?" Zhang Yuan said sincerely.

Director Li Yuzhi nodded.

Zhu Yawen, who had been afraid to speak, also chewed his head.

"We can't reach the Academy Awards."

"We have a chance with Golden Horse."

"So we have to clarify our goals and unify our opinions before we can make the next plan."

"What do you mean?"

At this moment, Zhang Yuan showed off his ability, and the other party was willing to talk properly.

"So I can't pay for this."

"I will go to Baodao to find investors locally."

"The first to get the moon is the one near the water. If you want to get the golden horse, it's best to have local people to protect you."

"Just enough to make up for the increased costs."

"It's all on me."

Fang Li and Li Yu looked at each other, then nodded in agreement... (End of Chapter)
