Chapter 53: Huayi Wang Zhongjun

2005, mid-January.

The domestic film market has entered a low ebb, with only 4 new films released in January, and the current daily box office champion is still dominated by "Kung Fu", which has been released for more than 20 days, and there are still about 400,000 box office in a single day.

There are enough films, no audience!

That's the case!

And this is also the time when major companies conduct year-end inventory, counting the revenue and profits of the past year.

Find ways to work together to avoid taxes and analyze the gains and losses of the past year.

Those investments were successful, why they were successful, and what were the factors!

Those who lost money, is it luck or necessity?

As a first-echelon film and television company in China, Huayi has participated in the investment and distribution of many films this year.

"Kung Fu" and "No Thieves in the World", two blockbuster movies at the box office, were invested and distributed by Huayi, and they made a lot of money.

Chairman Wang Zhongjun was looking at the financial statements in his office, and the string of numbers on them obviously put him in a good mood.

"Knock knock!"

The knock on the door took Wang Zhongjun's thoughts, put down the report, took a sip of tea, and leaned back on the boss's chair, "Come in!"

The person who came was Zhao Jun, deputy general manager of Huayi's production department, and as soon as he entered the door, he reported to Wang Zhongjun, "Wang Dong, there is news about the project over there in Tang An!"

"Oh, tell me!" Wang Zhongjun's eyes lit up and he nodded.

"It can already be determined that it is a horror film, but the script has only been read by Han Dong and Lin Sheng from the distribution department, and there is no project on the photoelectric side!" Zhao Jun replied truthfully.

"What does Han Dong mean?" Wang Zhongjun asked.

"I've already said hello to the production department, the crew is being formed, and the logistics department is also preparing equipment!"

"Does that mean that Han Dong is more satisfied with the script?" Wang Zhongjun crossed his lower abdomen and nodded slightly.

"It should be right, Lin Sheng is also full of praise for the script, but he hasn't revealed the details to anyone!" Zhao Jun agreed.

Although the vice president of the production department of the dignified Huayi was rejected by a rookie director who had only made one movie, Zhao Jun would not make up bad words about Tang An because of this.

Back then, in order to dig Lu Chuan from China Film, Wang Zhongjun set up a director studio for him, all of whom were first-class professionals in the industry, which shows the degree of attention.

There are only Feng Xiaogang, Teng Huatao, and Lu Xuezhang who can enjoy this kind of treatment.

But now that Lu Chuan's film failed at the box office in the mainland, in order to win Tang An over, he actually persuaded Lu Chuan to apologize to Tang An in private, which is much more important than paying more attention to Lu Chuan at the beginning.

Don't look at Zhao Jun as the deputy director of the production department, he really can't control these four directors, and he can only hold back any dissatisfaction in his heart.

Wang Zhongjun pondered for a moment and asked, "Are you sure you haven't set up the project yet?"

"I just came from the photoelectric side, and I really didn't!" Zhao Jun immediately replied.

"Do you have Tang An's phone number?"

"Hmm... Yes. Zhao Jun was stunned for a moment and said.

"Ask him to meet for me!"

"Okay Wang Dong!"

Zhao Jun didn't ask much, took out his mobile phone and dialed Tang An.

"Hey, Director Tang, I'm Zhao Jun from Huayi..."

...

Zhao Jun hung up the phone, "He said he would arrive around 10 o'clock!"

"Okay, you go get busy!" Wang Zhongjun waved his hand.

Wang Zhongjun then made a phone call, and 10 minutes later the secretary came in with a stack of papers.

......

At this time, Tang An, who was far away in the studio, was confused.

"This Zhao Jun won't come to woo me again, his attitude was so obvious last time, he really didn't give up!"

"It doesn't matter what they're going to do, just go and see them!" Xu Ruoyun lowered his head and went to work again.

"It's not about which hotel to be in, go directly to Huayi, I guess it's not Zhao Jun who wants to find me!"

"Okay, I'll go over, you can eat by yourself at noon!"

Tang An put down the work in hand, went out to take a taxi, and went straight to Huayi.

No matter how Hua Yi persuades him now, Tang An will not join, and now even Feng Xiaogang's degree of freedom is not high, so he can only make Hua Yi's movies, and he is not allowed to take on other companies' films.

But he's better, at least that's his own project, and he won't take on foreign films.

The only directors with the greatest degree of freedom in China are Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, Zhang Weiping did not sign any contract in order to tie Zhang Yimou to the new picture, as long as Zhang Yimou is willing, he can leave at any time.

The capital at this time is not congested, and it takes less than 1 hour to arrive.

Explain the intention to the front desk, and immediately someone respectfully leads the way in front.

As the year approaches, the whole company is fast-paced, as if everyone wants to get things done in a hurry so that they can have an early holiday.

"Director Tang, Wang Dong is waiting for you inside!"

The girl at the front desk took Tang An to the chairman's office, knocked on the door and waited for him to go in and brought it from the outside.

"Hello Wang Dong!"

No matter what Wang Zhongjun's intentions are, the other party is a big boss in the entertainment industry, Tang An still shows enough respect.

"Hehe, Director Tang is here, please take a seat!" Wang Zhongjun got up and beckoned Tang An to sit down.

There is no arrogance of talents, this is Wang Zhongjun's first impression.

That's it!

"I heard that Director Tang's new film is already in preparation?"

"Yes, is Dong Wang also paying attention to my movie?" Tang An said with no surprise at all.

"Director Tang got a box office of 31 million with a movie with an investment of 3 million, and no one in the entire entertainment industry doesn't pay attention to it!" Wang Zhongjun laughed.

"Wang Dong praised it, it's my first time making a movie, I'm just lucky!" Tang An waved his hand.

After a scene, Wang Zhongjun explained his intention.

"I don't know if Director Tang's movie has any financial problems, maybe I can help!"

"Thank you Wang Dong for your kindness, but this time it's still a small-budget movie, and there is no financial problem!" Tang An declined.

Wang Zhongjun didn't continue, with Zhongying, even if Tang An was short of money, he wouldn't look for Huayi.

"Is there a candidate for the actor?" asked Wang Zhongjun with a smile.

It turned out to be for this!

What Huayi lacks most is actors, and what is most lacking is roles.

The huge artist agency is also a burden on the company!

The success of "Shark Beach" made Tang An, a horror film of the same genre, very popular, and the characters in it naturally became fragrant.

Han Sanping also asked him about the candidate for the heroine before, and when he learned that Tang An already had a candidate, he didn't ask anymore, and he couldn't look down on several supporting roles.

Tang An pondered for a moment and said, "Don't hide it from Wang Dong, I don't have a suitable candidate for other supporting roles other than the heroine!"

"Still no male protagonist?" Wang Zhongjun grasped the key to his words.

"There are male roles, but there are not many scenes, and there are four supporting roles, if Wang Dong has a suitable candidate, you may wish to help introduce it!"

In addition to the heroine, it doesn't matter who the other characters are used, and there is no conflict with the plot in terms of identity background, occupation, appearance, etc.

It's not impossible to sell him a favor, and it's also troublesome for Tang An to find someone by himself! ยท
