Chapter 194: The Wang Brothers
"Sister Hua, what do they say? Won't you agree?" In the office, Wang Zhongjun asked, next to him was his younger brother Wang Zhonglei, and opposite was Wang Jinhua, now Huayi's office is not big, but in his heart he felt that the world was infinitely vast at this time.
In fact, Wang Zhongjun is older than Wang Jinhua, and Sister Hua is the nickname of Wang Jinhua by the artists under him, in order to show closeness, Wang Zhongjun also called it so.
"He was not interested in an eight-year contract, and it was obvious that he was interested in signing with Huayi, but as soon as I proposed to sign a long-term contract, he directly refused. Wang Jinhua rubbed her brows and said.
"Isn't it possible that we can't attract him to brokerage contracts that are not restricted? In terms of contacts in the circle, he is far inferior to our Huayi brothers, so he actually refused. Wang Zhonglei didn't wait for Wang Zhongjun to speak, and said dissatisfiedly next to him.
Wang Jinhua's face was calm, and she didn't rush to answer, for the Wang brothers, Wang Jinhua After a period of getting along, she deeply knew that Wang Zhonglei was not as good as the rumors outside, and the real power was Wang Zhongjun who was sitting on the chair and thinking.
"Restrain your stinky temper, now with our strength, it's understandable that we can't attract the other party, who made us just start to formalize, and we haven't made any good achievements in the film market!" Wang Zhongjun glanced at his younger brother calmly, his younger brother dared to dare to do it, but he couldn't do it to cultivate his qi.
"Does he have his own conditions?" asked Wang Zhongjun.
"What they can accept is a maximum of two years, preferably one year, and the film project does not accept our investment greater than theirs, and does not accept a contract break fee higher than one million. Wang Jinhua sighed and said, she was really optimistic about Zhou Bai and Yuan Yu, but with such conditions, she knew that it would be impossible to accept them with the character of the Wang brothers.
"No way, who does he think he is, a student who has not grown up with hair, didn't he just take an actor and invest in a few independent films, and dare to put forward such conditions to us. Wang Zhonglei slapped the table, angry, the longest two-year contract is equivalent to not signing, maybe he will turn his head and throw himself into the arms of others.
Wang Zhongjun's face is not good-looking, he has just cooperated with Taihe Group, which is engaged in financial real estate, to set up a film company, and the funds are full of funds all of a sudden, and he has acquired Wang Jinhua's brokerage company, and is preparing to show his skills, but he didn't expect to be unfavorable and hit a wall in Zhou Bai.
The two Wang brothers have only been in the film industry for two years, before that, they were in the advertising business, and they were optimistic about this market, they only invested in a TV series in 98, but they didn't make any money, but they were not discouraged, and then invested in three movies, wanting to make money behind the big guys.
has continuously invested in Jiang Wen's "The Devil is Coming", Chen Kaige's "Jing Ke Assassinates the King of Qin", and Feng Xiaogang's "Endless", but only "Endless" really makes money, and the other two movies are basically lost.
"The Devil is Coming" is having an awkward relationship with the Film Bureau, the rumors are very tight during this time, anyway, there is no possibility of domestic release, it is too difficult to make money from overseas distribution, "Jing Ke Assassinates the King of Qin" has a huge investment, and the domestic box office is only two million, almost making them vomit blood, if it weren't for Wang Zhongjun who is really optimistic about this market, they would have stopped playing a long time ago.
People are more popular than people, Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei, the two brothers, have been in the shopping mall for many years, and only one of the three movies they invested in made money, but Zhou Bai, a student who is still studying, can make money with a small and broad investment in the film department, "Xiao Wu" won the award and got a soft hand, making money is absolute, "That Mountain, That Man and That Dog" has made a small profit, "Suzhou River" is also famous, and the overseas distribution rights are sold at a high price, which is simply very moisturizing.
What's even more annoying is that even Zhou Bai's uncle Dao Film Investment Company's TV series are also making money, and the ratings of "Iron Tooth and Copper Tooth Ji Xiaolan" are soaring, and they have also made a lot of money, and now they are talking about cooperation with Guo Bao, this is a CCTV project, he can participate in it, it is unreasonable.
The Wang brothers wanted to sign Zhou Bai and Yuan Xiang, just to set a benchmark, connect with the network behind Zhou Bai, and participate in Zhou Bai's project, but they didn't expect that even if they offered conditions that seemed to them to be sincere, they didn't impress Zhou Bai.
"It seems that this young man has his own plans, they are all begging for a living in a circle, and the business is not benevolent, so I will contact him after a while to see if I can talk about it. Wang Zhongjun said with a gleam in his eyes.
"Okay, it's hard to convince an assertive young man like Zhou Bai, even if we can't sign him, I suggest maintaining a good relationship with him, which is beneficial to us. Wang Jinhua smiled and said.
"I'll think about it carefully, thank you Sister Hua. Wang Zhongjun said, the expression on his face did not change.
"Okay, I'll go out first, you're busy. Wang Jinhua said, and walked out.
After Wang Jinhua went out, Wang Zhonglei said: "Brother, that kid is too unpopular, I think even if he is signed, we will have to pay a great price, and the most important thing is that it is not good for the company's management, I think it is better to give up." ”
Wang Zhongjun glanced at Wang Zhonglei, although Wang Zhonglei sometimes has a very temper, but he has his own views on the company's management, he nodded and said: "If he insists on such conditions and does not give in, there is really no need to talk about it, if we sign them with this kind of contract, it is a big hidden danger for management, even if Chen Daoming will have an opinion on us, it seems that we still have to miss this talent." ”
"Brother, isn't it just a lucky little kid, what's worth making a fuss about, there are a lot of outstanding students over there at Nortel, not necessarily worse than him, if you want me to say, this kid is going too well, you should give some color to see." Wang Zhonglei was very disdainful of Zhou Bai and felt that he was just lucky now.
"You, if you know more about this person, you won't think so, he is not just an actor, it's not easy to move him now, he is Zhang Yimou's disciple, and it won't do us any good to move him to annoy Zhang Yimou and his mysterious uncle. Wang Zhongjun shook his head and sighed and said, he was very ambitious, and he originally wanted to show his strength with satisfaction, but he failed here in Zhou Bai.
"I see, Zhou Bai is not a small person, maybe he will become our opponent at some point, but at present, it is still necessary to maintain a friendly relationship with him for the time being, I heard that he has a project in preparation, maybe there is room for cooperation. Wang Zhongjun said lightly.
"But if our investment is not as big as his, and we don't have the right to speak on the project, is it too passive? If the benefits to us are too small, the investment will not make much sense, even Chen Kaige has failed, and I think his project is also hanging. Wang Zhonglei said hesitantly.
"Sometimes it is not necessarily the party that invests more to have the initiative, and the doorway of this industry is deep, and see. Wang Zhongjun said with a light smile.
