Within a few minutes of Tang An's return to the office, Xu Zheng hurriedly walked in and told Tang An a bad news.

"Master of Hypnosis" has been filmed and is in the post-production, "Hong Kong Embarrassment" is already looking for a location, and the actors should be determined.

This time, the heroine Xu Zheng still found Zhao Wei, the male number two Wang Baoqiang.

The second female number happened to Tang Yan after filming the second part of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", and the heroine's brother-in-law found Wang Xun, and there were several other Xiangjiang actors.

It's called "Hong Kong", and few Hong Kong actors are not suitable.

In fact, "Thai Embarrassment" was looking for Wang Xun at the beginning, but Wang Xun had no schedule at the time, so he recommended his good buddy Huang Bo.

The actors are all together, most of them have been negotiated, and when it comes to Zhao Wei and Wang Baoqiang, something went wrong, and both of them want to participate in the investment.

After listening to Xu Zheng's talk about the contact with the two of them, Tang An frowned, "Do you have to participate in investment?"

"That's right, and the will is very strong, although I haven't said dead yet, but it seems that I have to invest. ”

Xu Zheng's mood is not high, he is pointing to this movie and turning over now, but he didn't expect someone to want a piece of cake.

In addition to the director's share, the studio only has a 30% investment share, and Tang An accounts for the majority of the studio.

If he had been busy for more than half a year, and the money was finally earned by the two of them, Xu Zheng would definitely be unwilling.

Besides, he and Han Tang have signed contracts, and the investment ratio is written in the contract, even if he wants to give a few points to the two of them, who will let them?

Tang An is not too strange, the original "Hong Kong Embarrassment" had Zhao Wei's investment, and Wang Baoqiang also took over "Detective Chinatown" because he was refused to participate in the investment.

Wang Baoqiang invested in "Detective Chinatown".

It's normal for big-name stars to bring money into the group, but don't even think about getting a box office share.

Cheng Long and Li Lianjie have never received a box office share in the mainland, and they are all paid to buy shares.

At this point, the actor is still not as strong as the director, the big director can get box office dividends, but the big star can't.

Tang An thought for a moment and said, "Isn't there anyone else besides them?"

"Yes, there must be, but the two of them are the most suitable candidates in terms of image and popularity. ”

Xu Zheng sighed, and then said, "The heroine Cai Peng is a middle-aged woman, first of all, she can't be beautiful, there are a few female stars who can come out and not be beautiful, let alone have high popularity and appeal." ”

Cai Lala is completely in accordance with the character set by Wang Baoqiang, whether it is lines or image, it is tailor-made for him. ”

Indeed, although not all the stars in the entertainment industry are top beauties, they can at least be regarded as beautiful, and if they don't have enough looks and figures, they can't even enter the film and television academy.

Of course, it is almost feasible to find a female star in her thirties and forties to make him photogenic without makeup.

But if people are willing to agree, there will be ghosts.

It's okay to wear makeup and look ugly, but if you don't wear makeup, few people will agree.

Deliberately pretending to be ugly, fans know it's fake, that's no problem.

But if you want the audience and fans to see the state without makeup, maybe you will lose your fans...

Speaking of the role of Cai Lala, just by reading the script, it is easy to be disgusting.

Including the role of Wang Baoqiang in "Thai Embarrassment" and "People in Embarrassment", put yourself in your shoes, if you were Xu Lang and Li Chenggong, with their situation at the time, would you not hate such a person by your side?

That is, Wang Baoqiang has so many honest and honest classic characters in the past, and the audience is good, so that the audience does not hate it.

Tang An thought about it, passed the circle of post-70s actresses in the circle in his mind, and suggested, "I can only keep one, I will give up 4% of the investment share, Wang Baoqiang will keep it, and Zhao Wei will be replaced by Qin Hairu and Yuan Quan, what do you think." ”

Qin Hairu is known as "the ugliest actress in history", although she is not ugly, she is not very beautiful, and her acting skills are enough.

Yuan Quan has a good temperament, but he is really not very beautiful in terms of appearance, and it is no problem to play this kind of role.

If you really want to change it, replacing Zhao Wei is undoubtedly the most appropriate, and after the movie was screened, he was scolded a lot.

Tang An gave up 4% of the investment share, and Xu Zheng was of course happy to see it.

Don't say that he let 4%, it doesn't matter if he lets 40%, as long as Xu Zheng has a lot of his share.

But if you can only change one, Xu Zheng thought for a while and said, "Tang Dong, if I can only keep one, I still want to keep Zhao Wei, her husband Huang Long has a good relationship with Ma Dong in Ali, and promised to do his best to win Ali's resources to promote the movie." ”

Then Xu Zheng whispered, "It is said that Huang Long has a background in the Tomorrow Department, and more than a dozen banks and insurance kilometers in which he participates can provide loans for the movie." ”

Tomorrow Department...

There seems to be a saying that Huang Long is the white glove of tomorrow.

Anyway, all kinds of speculations, Ah Li later took down the shell of Cultural China from Dong Ping, and Cultural China was bought by Dong Ping again.

Dongping's Peking University Huayi was established as a joint venture with Peking University Culture, a subsidiary of the Tomorrow Department, and after borrowing the shell of Shanglian Cement and changing its name to Culture China, it pledged the shares of Peking University Culture into the listed company Culture China.

It's almost the same, Tomorrow Department put the Peking University culture of the media industry into Peking University Culture, and then sold it to Ma Yun.

After Ma Yun won Cultural China, the stock price skyrocketed.

Culture China was worth 5 billion Hong Kong dollars at that time, and Ma Yun spent more than 6 billion to buy 60% of the shares, and the stock price was twice as high as the market value.

After the completion of the acquisition, the market value became more than 36 billion, and Huang Long bought nearly 10% of the shares at a price of more than 3 billion.

If Huang Long is really from the Tomorrow Department, 6 billion will come and go, which is equivalent to playing a trick with the Tomorrow Department and Ah Li, the money is not more, and the value of the shares in his hand has doubled.

It's all a game of capital.

Of course, I don't know if it's true or not, I'm afraid I'll have to ask them themselves.

Although Tomorrow has invested in more than a dozen banks and insurance companies, Tang An is not short of loans at all.

As long as it is his movie, the four major banks will not refuse, and the interest rate is also the lowest.

Compared with Zhao Wei, Tang An still hopes to keep Wang Baoqiang, and it doesn't matter if he gives three or four points of investment share.

In terms of importance, Zhao Wei is far from being able to compare with Wang Baoqiang in this movie.

He persuaded, "I still think it's more appropriate to keep Wang Baoqiang." ”

Xu Zheng insisted, "Tang Dong, Wang Baoqiang, I can find a suitable candidate, but there is still a gap between Qin Hairu and Yuan Quan and Zhao Wei. ”

Tang An felt a little strange in his heart, didn't answer, and looked at him twice.

The combination of Xu Zheng + Wang Baoqiang has a successful precedent, and at this time, he gave up Wang Baoqiang in order to retain Zhao Wei.

Xu Zheng was a little weak by him, and lowered his head slightly and took a sip of the teacup.

"That's okay, you are the director, I don't interfere with the actors, you can only give one investment share, up to four points, you just decide. Tang An thought about it and nodded.

It's acceptable to let one go out with three or four points, and it's not impossible for two people to have seven or eight points, but what about the next one, shouldn't it be twenty or thirty points.

Xu Zheng hurriedly said, "That's okay Tang Dong, I'll go find a suitable actor to ensure that he meets the role and will not be worse than Wang Baoqiang." ”

Leaving Tang An's office, Xu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

All of a sudden, the thoughts in his heart came up again.

Give up Wang Baoqiang, then this series will become his alone, and it will no longer be a partner movie.

As for whether it can be successful, he no longer doubts it since "Detective Chinatown" can break one billion in the name of "Thai Embarrassment".

As long as the shooting is not bad, one billion is at least.

Moreover, it was Tang An who made the decision, and it had "nothing to do" with himself.

......

In the office, Tang An probably understood Xu Zheng's thoughts after a while.

He smiled and shook his head, no matter who Xu requisitioned him, it didn't matter to him, even if it was still Bao Barium in the end, there was not much loss.

"Hong Kong Embarrassment" is facing "Journey to the West", even if Wang Baoqiang is used, with the capacity of today's market, the two movies will add up to a box office of 22.3 billion during the Spring Festival.

Even if you lose, with the popularity of this series, one billion is still stable.

The next Tang An can keep the price down.

It seems a little mean.

However, Xu Zheng can't help it if he wants to insist, Tang An has promised not to interfere in the casting before, and he can't go back on his word.

If you say it, you have to count it.

In the future, if the company uses the wrong actors in every movie and TV series, Tang An will interfere and replace people, then those directors will definitely be unhappy.

It's okay once or twice, but every time I interfere, and those who have the ability have run away early.

Wang Zhongjun couldn't interfere with the role of Feng Dacang's movie, the box office was high, and the department was a big seller, making so much money for Huayi.

Unless Feng cannons hit the streets, and it was a big pounce, then he would not have the confidence to refuse Wang Zhongjun's installation of actors.
