Hu Shuo didn't expect the name of "Hu Zuozuo" to be so loud, and after the report came out, everyone in the conference room knew about it.

And after getting this answer, Li Yuqing's face added a little bit of confidence, as a young director, of course Li Yuqing has seen the popular "Love Apartment", and at that time, he admired the editor "Hu Zuozuo", and it was really not easy to intersperse so many laughs in a play.

Therefore, after learning that the script of "Predecessor Raiders" was from him, Li Yuqing had a little more expectations for this play.

The meeting ended, and the crowd dispersed.

However, Yang Jian and Zheng Xue did not leave.

"Mr. Hu, I want to discuss something with you. Yang Jian walked up to Hu Shuo and said.

"Well, Brother Jian, you say. Hu Shuo nodded.

"The director of "Heart Blossom Road", does Mr. Hu have other candidates in mind?" asked Yang Jian.

"Not yet. ”

Hu Shuo looked at Yang Jian: "What, Brother Jian is interested in directing?"

There are too many examples of acting and directing, and there are many successful cases.

"Well, I want to try. ”

Yang Jian nodded, and added: "Mr. Hu, if you agree, my family Xiao Zheng and I don't need to be paid." ”

It can be seen that Yang Jian is really interested in being a director, and he is worried that Hu Shuo will not agree, so he directly said that his husband and wife will not get paid.

In fact, Yang Jian really has always had a dream of directing, after saving some money by filming before, he also invested in a movie by himself, but unfortunately the box office results were not satisfactory and he suffered heavy losses, and it was precisely because of that failed experience that he and his wife Zheng Xue joined Wanli Pictures, thinking that it would be good to act in a down-to-earth manner.

However, the dream of becoming a director has always been in Yang Jian's heart and he has never given up.

And Zhang Fan's withdrawal gave Yang Jian the idea of taking over, because he also carefully read the script of "Heart Flower Road" and felt that this script was very interesting, and such a comedy definitely has the potential to hit the high box office.

So, Yang Jian and his wife Zheng Xue discussed it and decided not to take the salary to appear in this play, as long as Hu Shuo gave him the opportunity to direct.

"Well, since Brother Jian wants to direct, then I won't look for a director. ”

Hu Shuo nodded in response, he had a good impression of Yang Jian and Zheng Xue, and among the actors of Wanli Pictures, except for Chen Aoshi, the two were the most well-known, however, in the audition process just now, the two of them were very active and serious, and they did not have any emotions because they were well-known actors but wanted to try out with others.

"However, you will take the salary, but the director company will not pay the director's fee, which means that Brother Jian, you will get one salary and do two jobs!"

Hu Shuo smiled lightly: "Count it up, it's still the company that earns it." ”

"This ......"

Yang Jian was a little surprised, he didn't expect Hu Shuo to be so generous, not only agreed to his request, but also paid the salary.

"Mr. Hu, thank you for your trust!"

Yang Jian said this very sincerely.

"Work hard to shoot "Heart Flower Road", and show it to the people who left by the way, such a configuration is not impossible to win a high box office!"

Hu Shuo replied lightly.

"Well, I will definitely do my best to make this scene a good one. Yang Jian nodded solemnly.

Leaving the conference room, Hu Shuo followed Tian Kai back to his office.

"Lao Tian, you have to work hard for the next period of time, the movie "The Richest Man in Xihong City" starring me was completed a few days ago, and now it has entered the post-production stage, and the publicity and distribution of the movie will be handed over to you. ”

After getting along with Tian Kai for most of the day, the two have become familiar with each other a lot, and Hu Shuo has become more casual in addressing him.

"Well, this Mr. Hu rest assured, I will focus on the publicity and distribution of "The Richest Man in Xihong City". ”

Tian Kai immediately expressed his position with a solemn expression, because he knew that this was also a test for Hu Shuo for him and the management of Wanli Pictures.

The reason why Wanli Pictures is still worth one billion in the poor business situation is mainly because of the company's strong publicity and distribution capabilities, from the perspective of the company's scale and volume, Wanli Pictures is barely a medium-sized film and television company, but the company's publicity and distribution capabilities are first-class, one of the important reasons is that Wanli Group is backed by Wanli Cinemas, at the same time, because it is a subsidiary of Wanli Group, Wanli Pictures also relies on a strong background to open up the relationship with various David TV, media and websites.

And this relationship can be used directly, which will play a big role in promoting a movie.

"Mr. Tian, Mr. Hu ......"

Just as Hu Shuo and Tian Kai were talking, someone knocked on the open office door, it was Xie Lan, Chen Aoshi's agent.

"Sister Lan, come in. Tian Kai beckoned.

Xie Lan walked into the office, looked at Hu Shuo, and said with an embarrassed face: "Mr. Hu, I want to talk to you about Aoshi." ”

"Well, sit down and talk. ”

At this moment, Hu Shuo was sitting on the sofa in the office, and he pointed to the seat next to him.

Xie Lan sat down and said, "Mr. Hu, I talked to Aoshi just now, and he has realized his mistake and asked me to apologize on my behalf." ”

"Apologize?"

Hu Shuo smiled: "If you want to apologize, just come by yourself." ”

Xie Lan rubbed her hands awkwardly, she also told Chen Aoshi this, but although the latter also realized that her reaction in the conference room was a little excessive, she refused to bow her head, and just told Xie Lan to apologize on her behalf.

"Mr. Hu, that person is actually a bit of a stinky temper and a little crazy, but he doesn't have any bad intentions. Xie Lan sighed faintly: "Just because of his temper, he has offended many people." ”

Hu Shuo picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip lightly, without interjecting.

"Mr. Hu, Aoshi said, he doesn't really want to terminate the contract, but he is also the biggest actor in our company, the company opened two plays at once, how can he give him a male actor, Geng Hao doesn't need him, do you see if you can play Meng Yun, the male protagonist of "Predecessor Raiders", to him?"

This is Chen Aoshi's own demand, and in his opinion, it can be regarded as a concession.

As soon as he heard this, Hu Shuo smiled: "The protagonists of "Predecessor Raiders" have been decided. ”

"Mr. Hu, isn't this just decided? Besides, changing roles is not a matter of your words. Xie Lan said with a smile.

Hu Shuo put down the teacup in his hand and looked serious: "Let me tell you this, Sister Lan, I may be different from the bosses of other companies, maybe a coffee like him occasionally plays a temper in other companies, no one will do anything about him, but not with me!"

"He didn't say that he wanted to terminate the contract, then let's terminate the contract, my company won't want such an actor!"

When he said this, Hu Shuo's tone was very calm, but there was ten thousand firmness in his eyes.

Originally, Xie Lan still wanted to say a few more words for Chen Aoshi, but when she saw Hu Shuo's attitude, she knew that it was completely useless.

And the reason why Hu Shuo is so determined to kick Chen Aoshi out of the company is that one is the reason why he said that there is no room for actors who play big names and put on a show in his company, and the other is that Hu Shuo needs to stand up and set a benchmark here.

In his company, playing big names and losing his temper is what happened to Chen Aoshi!

It doesn't matter if you are a first-line or a big name, you will be treated the same, and you will never be soft!

"Sister Lan, you are an employee of our company, now I need you to make a statement, do you want to continue to stay in the company, or follow Chen Aoshi? If you choose to stay, the company will reassign you as an artist, if you want to leave, the company will not embarrass you, after all, this matter has nothing to do with you. ”

Hu Shuo said to Xie Lan again.

"I ......"

"Stay!"

After hesitating for a second, Xie Lan made a decision, although she and Chen Aoshi had some friendship, but she didn't need to gamble on her future because of the other party.

"Mr. Hu, what about Chen Aoshi?"

After making a decision, Xie Lan's address to Chen Aoshi also changed from "Aoshi" to his name.

"It's best if he takes the initiative to terminate the contract, if he doesn't terminate the contract, he will hide until the company's brokerage contract with him expires, and he will not be assigned any work!"

When Chen Aoshi slammed the door and left, Hu Shuo already had a plan in his heart to deal with him.

"Mr. Hu, Chen Aoshi is unable to pay liquidated damages now, so he should not take the initiative to terminate the contract. Xie Lan said.

"Well, then let's hide it, and then hand over his contract dispute to the legal department to deal with. ”

As he spoke, Hu Shuo turned his head to Tian Kai and said, "Lao Tian, you turn around and let me know." ”

"Good. ”

Tian Kai nodded, he raised his hands in favor of Hu Shuo's decision, he had long been unaccustomed to Chen Aoshi's style of acting, but the company had no choice but to be a baby as a first-line artist like him.

And now Hu Shuo is doing what he wanted to do but couldn't do, so he is very comfortable in his heart, but this is only from a personal emotional level, if it is from the perspective of the company's interests, Hu Shuo's approach will obviously lose some benefits.

After all, Chen Aoshi is a well-known actor, and he still has a brokerage contract with the company for more than a year, and for more than a year, even if he is not used for the company's internal dramas, he can just help him take on other companies' dramas or other advertising and endorsement work, and the company still has a revenue share.

And if you hide the other party directly, although Chen Aoshi will directly have no chance of work and exposure, but in the same way, the company will not make money on him, so this is actually a lose-lose choice.

"Mr. Hu, who should I bring?"

As soon as he heard that Hu Shuo had directly hid Chen Aoshi, Xie Lan no longer had a glimmer of hope for him, and had already begun to think about his future work.

"Then you can take Ma Ye with you!"

Hu Shuo thought about it and replied.

"Uh...... Ma Ye??" Xie Lan frowned slightly, from bringing one first-line to bringing one eighteenth-line, this gap naturally made her difficult to accept for a while.

"Don't worry, in less than a year, he will be more popular than Chen Aoshi!" Seeing what Xie Lan was thinking, Hu Shuo replied lightly.
