Chapter 479: Signing a Director (First Update)
A few months ago, the task assigned by Zhang Chen to Liu Ai finally came to fruition, Liu Ai met a few insiders who wanted to open a film and television company, and in the end, he chose Zhang Guoli.
Zhang Guoli is one of the earliest actors in mainland China to get involved in film and television production, and last year's hit prime minister Liu Luoguo had a small part of his investment, and he was also one of the actual producers, but because Zhang Guoli was too gullible and coupled with the system problems of China Film at that time, not only did he not make any money, but he also lost more than 100,000 yuan.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Guoli made up his mind that he must engage in film and television production by himself. At the beginning, there was a wealthy businessman surnamed Deng in Guangdong who set up a film and television production company and wanted to cooperate with Zhang Guoli, Zhang Guoli met him a few times, although he felt that this person was too slippery and a little uneasy, but he couldn't find a too suitable opportunity for a while, so he wanted to cooperate with this surnamed Deng in one or two dramas to test the water.
At this time, Zhang Guoli heard that there is now an American investment company in Beijing that wants to get involved in the film and television industry, and is looking for people to cooperate with.
After meeting with the representative of this company, Zhang Guoli felt unreliable in his heart, and the person he met was a twenty-three or four-year-old girl, who knew nothing about the film and television industry before.
What makes Zhang Guoli most angry is that this little girl actually asked herself to write a project plan?
Zhang Guoli almost walked away, with his current popularity and status in the domestic film and television industry, although he does not dare to compare with those famous old artists, but among this group of people in the Mesozoic generation in the circle, he is undoubtedly a leader.
But in the end, he wrote it anyway, and he wrote it seriously.
Film and television are a circle, there are no secrets in the circle, Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang got one or two million investment funds from this investment company called Suihuang Investment, and it didn't take long for it to reach his ears.
Zhang Yimou is just that, after all, he is the No. 1 director in China, but Feng Xiaogang is very clear. He and Feng Xiaogang have known each other for many years, and he has also seen Feng Xiaogang's book, which is the stubborn master he filmed ten years ago.
Feng Xiaogang wanted to ask him to play the role of Yuguan at first, but Zhang Guoli refused. On the one hand, he is preparing to shoot his own Kangxi Weifu private interview, on the other hand, in his opinion, this book is too sparse, it doesn't look like a movie at all, it's a collection of jokes and sketches.
But even Feng Xiaogang has got so much money, how can Zhang Guoli not be blushing?
In this way, Zhang Guoli apprehensively summarized his understanding of the industry over the years into a detailed plan and handed it to Liu Ai. It didn't take long for Liu Ai to talk to him again, but Zhang Guoli found that in just ten days, Liu Ai had actually changed from a novice in the film and television entertainment industry to a quasi-professional with a considerable understanding of the industry and circles, and the questions asked were much more professional and sharp.
Zhang Guoli also secretly inquired, and many people around him have submitted plans to this investment company, many of which are not less famous than their own big names, and some high-level executives from the Film Bureau are involved, which makes Zhang Guoli's feelings of gain and loss even more serious.
Just when Zhang Guoli already thought that there was no drama and was about to re-contact the businessman surnamed Deng in Yuehai, Liu Ai took the initiative to contact Zhang Guoli.
Shen Nanpeng came forward to negotiate the final negotiation, and after only talking for about half an hour, Shen Nanpeng asked Liu Ai to hand over the first draft of the agreement to Zhang Guoli and let him see what else he had.
Liu Ai has already drafted the investment agreement, although it is a thick pile of provisions for the rights and obligations of both parties, but the key clauses in it Zhang Guoli can still be found at a glance.
The investment of 15 million yuan gave Zhang Guoli 20% of the shares, and at the same time gave Zhang Guoli full management rights, and the investment company only dispatched the chief financial officer and a third-party company to conduct regular audits, with the right of preferential liquidation.
Zhang Guoli almost couldn't believe that this matter was so simple? From contact to getting the agreement, he didn't even get a month's investment, and he got 15 million investment?
Zhang Guoli took the agreement and went back to discuss it with his wife Deng Jie, and found a few lawyer friends to help check it, and after confirming that there were no traps in the agreement, Zhang Guoli signed his name on the agreement both excitedly and apprehensively.
Feng Xiaogang heard that his old acquaintance was in charge of this Spark Media, and that Spark Media had just been established, and it had an investment of 15 million, so he couldn't help but be very interested.
In short, let's finish filming "Good Dream Day Trip" first, but I can talk to Lao Zhang recently and talk about his style.
Zhang Yang listened with envy next to him, this kind of signing conditions, even if it is an international director, when signing a contract with some film and television companies, it may not be possible, Feng Xiaogang, a so-called film director who has not released a single work, can be recruited by Zhang Chen like this, it is really shit luck.
Zhang Yang had the intention to recommend himself, but seeing that Zhang Chen didn't mean to recruit himself, he didn't mention it, but just thought in his heart that before coming to the hotel, Zhang Chen told himself that he lacked investment and told him how this matter should work.
"Is Miss Liu Bei interested in joining? Now that Xinghuo Media is in ruins, it is the time to employ people, if Miss Liu is willing to sign a brokerage contract with Xinghuo, she will definitely have better development. "Zhang Chen is really a pity, and then Liu Bei's career. He is beautiful and has good acting skills, but he never gets a good opportunity, half red and not black.
Liu Beiwaner smiled and took a good Beijing film: "You are polite, I am used to being free and casual, and I am not used to being managed by a company." If Xinghuo has the right film to think of me, I will definitely go all out. ”
Lin Xiaoxia sat next to Liu Bei and whispered: "Sister, you think about it again, Zhang Chen is very good." ”
Liu Bei looked at Lin Xiaoxia's real face, this little girl was so innocent, she couldn't help sighing, and said in a low voice: "Xiaoxia, this circle is very complicated, in fact, I advise you to make one or two films for fun, there is no need to enter the entertainment industry." ”
Lin Xiaoxia showed a smile on her face: "I actually studied dance, and it was by chance that I was able to make a movie this time, and I will go back to school after filming, and I will have an art exam next year, and homework is still important." ”
Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief, she really didn't want to see such a pure girl enter the big dye vat of the entertainment industry, and just wanted to say something, but she heard Lin Xiaoxia say again: "However, after this time, I really like acting, as if I am experiencing another person's life, I may apply for film or drama school next year." ”
Liu Bei was startled and pulled Lin Xiaoxia's sleeve: "You didn't hear what I just said? This circle is too complicated, and girls are easy to be bullied." ”
Lin Xiaoxia smiled: "No." ”
Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, but saw Lin Xiaoxia's eyes looking at Zhang Chen softly, "He won't let me be bullied by others, he promised me." ”
