Chapter 271 Lu Zheng’s Bait
Zhang Chen went upstairs and went straight to the reception room.
In the reception room, two groups of people sat on separate sides, but they did not speak to each other.
There were more people on Liu Tianxian's side, including Liu Tianxian's mother and daughter and Chen Jinfei, while on Jing Tian's side there was only Lu Zheng.
Everyone knew the purpose of each other's coming, and they were all competitors, so there was no chatting or anything like that. Not drawing a sword on the spot was already the greatest accomplishment.
Liu Tianxian didn't squint, but in his heart he was disdainful of Jing Tian.
After "Fairy Sword", her popularity is at the peak of its popularity.
She has the appearance of being the first person of her age in the field of TV dramas. Her godfather said that after the broadcast of "The Condor", her popularity will definitely increase.
So she doesn’t care about Jingtian.
She knew that Jing Tian had robbed her of the role of her daughter in "Hurricane Rescue", but she just thought that the other party offered more money than her.
In terms of looks, reputation, and hard work, Liu Tianxian is confident that he is a few steps ahead of Jing Tian.
On the other side, Jing Tian didn’t take Liu Tianxian seriously either.
When it comes to relationships, there is no one in the entertainment industry who can beat them.
Lu Zheng said that Wanda’s Wang Zhizhi has promised that its theater chains will support him, and at the same time, Lu Zheng is still trying to contact other theater chains.
She doesn't think Liu Tianxian can be her opponent. At the premiere, Ali Ma had to sit behind her. This is her greatest confidence.
The door of the reception room opened, and Zhang Chen appeared. As soon as he appeared, he attracted everyone's attention. Everyone stood up to say hello, and Director Zhang's voice could not be heard.
"Hello everyone, I'm sorry, I just went to China Film and Television..."
Looking at the two groups of people in front of him, Zhang Chen also had a headache.
"My fault, my fault, it was my improper arrangement." Dong Jianqiang appeared at the right time. In fact, the two groups of people had not made an appointment before coming, because Zhang Chen did not answer anyone's phone calls at all in the past two days. .
But at this time, Dong Jianqiang must come out to smooth things over and take the blame on himself, so that everyone will not be embarrassed.
"Director Zhang, the fairy sister has been waiting for a long time. Why don't you talk to them first? Mr. Lu and Miss Jingtian, let's have tea first and wait a moment, okay?"
Dong Jianqiang reminded vaguely, in fact, Just tell Zhang Chen that Liu Tianxian and the others came first.
It’s easy to offend people about who talks first and who talks last, but according to the first-come-first-served basis, no one will be able to find fault.
"Okay, how about Mr. Lu and Miss Jing wait a moment?"
"It's easy to talk."
Zhang Chen spoke, and the two people definitely had no objection.
Although they are not afraid of offending Liu Tianxian, they certainly cannot allow Director Zhang to be a villain, as that would appear to be ignorant.
"Okay, Mr. Chen, Ms. Liu, please come to my office to chat..."
The group followed Zhang Chen to his office, and then Chen Jinfei smiled and said: "Today It's really presumptuous..."
Zhang Chen waved his hand: "The past two days have been really busy with everything. If my guess is correct, is it because of this co-production?"
< br>
Time is limited, so there will be no detours.
Chen Jinfei and others also understood and nodded with a smile: "It's not just a co-production. We heard that Director Zhang will have a drama called "Painted Skin" next year. We are very interested in both dramas. I don't know. Is there any chance to work with Director Zhang again? "
Zhang Chen smiled and turned to look at Liu Tianxian. Unexpectedly, this little girl had a big heart. She was not only thinking about "A Quiet Place", but also "Painted Skin".
Zhang Chen shook his head with a smile: "Sorry, Mr. Chen, Ms. Liu, the casts of these two dramas have been confirmed, and there really is no suitable role for Yifei."
Chen Jinfei Hearing this, he frowned and couldn't figure out why Zhang Chen stopped cooperating with Liu Yifei after "Manslaughter". He only thought it was because of Jing Tian outside.
He already knew that Jing Tian was the guy who competed with their Sissi for the role of the daughter in "Hurricane Rescue" last time. However, he had not found out Jing Tian's background so far, so he did not dare to act rashly.
Aunt Liu was even more unwilling to give in and wanted to fight for it again: "Director Zhang, our Sissy's English is very good. If you make a co-production, you will definitely need English."
Zhang Chen smiled and said nonsense in his mind. As an American, of course his English is good.
But he would not offend people for no reason. He just said verbally: "I heard that Yifei doesn't intend to develop into the music industry? Even if it is suitable, do you have the time to make a movie? Will Sony let you go?"< br>
Aunt Liu was stunned by Zhang Chen's words, wondering how Zhang Chen knew the news.
In fact, they have just signed a contract with Sony Music and are preparing to develop into the Japanese music scene.
It’s just that this news hasn’t been announced yet, so I don’t know where Zhang Chen learned about it. "Well, there is definitely nothing we can do about the role of "A Quiet Place". All changes in the selection will need to be agreed upon by us and New Line before they can take effect. The main roles of "Painted Skin" have also been decided, and there will be some guest appearances at most. It’s a small role. If Sissi’s schedule is suitable, she can make a guest appearance..."
Zhang Chen didn’t say it to death, but he also made it clear that even if there is a role, it will be a guest appearance. Look It doesn’t matter whether the other party sees it or not.
The reason why I opened this hole is because the popularity of Tianxian is really high.
Later, there was a visualization video of the popularity of actresses at Station B. Liu Tianxian was on the list in June 2003, and she dominated the list from the second half of 2005 to the beginning of 2008, which lasted for nearly 700 days. The length of time she reached the top was only Second to Zhao Yanzi back then.
In 2005, Liu Tianxian created a miracle - nearly 36 websites, 117 forums, and 17,000 QQ groups were all related to Liu Tianxian.
In that era, there was no such thing as top class. If there was, Liu Tianxian was the top class, the top class among the top classes.
This is her personal golden age!
After talking for a long time, he only got the promise of a guest appearance. Chen Jinfei was a little unwilling. He also wanted to emphasize that he could bring money into the group, but suddenly he thought of Jing Tian outside.
How much money Star Spangled finally spent to win the role of the daughter in "Hurricane" is actually not a secret. You can find out with a little inquiry.
20 million.
Chen Jinfei asked himself that he couldn’t do it if he spent 20 million to buy a role, but she was not the heroine.
He didn't even pay such a high price in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
In the end, the group left in anger.
Then Lu Zheng and Jing Tian came in with smiles.
“Long time no see, Director Zhang, you must be very busy recently, right?”
“Yes, I’m so busy that my feet don’t touch the ground. Why didn’t I get asked by Mr. Han again today? "Stone" has kept you waiting for a long time..."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, we didn't say hello in advance..."
Lu Zheng smiled, and then faced Jing again Tian said: "Xiaotian, you keep clamoring to see Director Zhang every day, why do you say hello when we meet~"
This was obviously to reprimand Jing Tian, but in fact it was to give him a topic.
Jing Tian lowered his head shyly: "Hello, Director Zhang~"
Zhang Chen hurriedly smoothed things over: "We are all so familiar with each other, there is no need to meet outside, sit down and say..."
< br>Inviting everyone to sit down, Chen Xi served tea, and Lu Zheng said: "Director Zhang is busy, so I won't go around in circles. I came here today just for "A Quiet Place". I wonder if we will have a chance to participate... …”
What Lu Zheng said was actually asking us how much we need to spend to get a role.
Zhang Chen also got straight to the point and said: "Sorry, Mr. Lu, Miss Jing, the role of "A Quiet Place" has already been decided, and it was agreed with New Line. There is no way to change it. I can only have another chance next time." Let's work together again..."
Hearing that he was rejected, Jing Tian was a little disappointed. Lu Zheng actually had a premonition and was not surprised at all. Hearing this, he suddenly said: "Is it possible for Director Zhang to do something for Xiao? Tian is making a movie alone, and the price is up to you. We will provide all the filming funds, but we will not be involved in the shooting. Director Zhang has the final say on everything. We don’t want the box office and copyright, they all belong to Director Zhang..."
After Lu Zheng finished speaking, the office suddenly became quiet.
What a courageous person.
Others brought money into the group to get roles, so he simply became the banker himself and gave all the profits to Zhang Chen, which was equivalent to binding Zhang Chen.
Of course you can just make a few bucks and do whatever you want.
But Lu Zheng said that the box office and copyright also belong to Zhang Chen, so Zhang Chen will definitely not mess around.
The better the film, the higher the box office, and the more he earns himself.
People see this very clearly. We only want reputation, not money~
Are you tempted? Of course we are.
Zhang Chen is no longer a small director. If nothing else, his directing fees are quite high.
What's more, Lu Zhengdu said that Zhang Chen has the final say in everything.
In other words, even if Zhang Chen asked for 50 million, the actual cost was only 5 million, and Lu Zheng accepted it.
At least there is still gambling. Lu Zheng didn't even gamble, it was just giving away money for free.
Zhang Chen said nothing. Lu Zheng and Jing Tian looked at him quietly. After a while, Zhang Chen said: "Let me think about it..."
