31. Start a film company (1st shift)

"Hey, hello." Half a minute after the bell rang, Ye Sumang picked up the phone.

"Hello, is it Mr. Ye Sumang's house?" It was a woman with a soft voice who spoke.

"I am."

After hearing Ye Sumang admit his identity, the voice on the other side immediately became much more enthusiastic.

"Hello, Mr. Ye Sumang. We are the representative of CA International Economics in Asia, and I would like to ask you to talk about your economic contract, do you have a brokerage company now? ”

The woman opposite did not hide her purpose and said it directly.

"Wait a moment, I'll get back to you later." Hearing that the other party turned out to be a representative of the brokerage company, Ye Sumang was stunned for a moment, and did not answer immediately, but hung up the phone.

At this time, Huang Bo and Ning Hao were looking at him suspiciously.

"An agency called CA said that it wanted to negotiate a brokerage contract with me, didn't it all actors need a brokerage contract? Do directors need to do the same? Ye Sumang was also very puzzled, and after telling the two of them the content of the phone call just now, he looked at Ning Hao, who was an expert in this regard.

"Of course!" Ning Hao replied as a matter of course: "Our famous directors in China, like Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou, not only have agents, but also a whole economic team to serve them." Their personal image, worth, endorsements, etc. need to be taken care of by the brokerage company. ”

"Oh, so many benefits, isn't there any harm?" Ye Sumang asked with a frown.

"No, the ultimate goal of the agency is to make money, and they have to charge a certain commission for the final profit of your salary after filming the film, and there are some event endorsements and the like that have to obey their arrangements at certain moments, but in general, it is still a win-win situation." Ning Hao thought about it confidently, and then analyzed the pros and cons for Ye Sumang one by one.

After listening, Ye Sumang did not speak, but sat on the chair silently and thought, this brokerage company sounds really good, signing a contract is equivalent to fame and fortune, and what is paid is only a part of the commission and free time.

However, all this is completely dispensable for Ye Sumang.

He just wants to shoot every drama seriously, he never wanted to be a star director, and appeared in front of the public in a high-profile manner, otherwise he would have gone to the acting department in the first place, wouldn't it be more dazzling to be a big star?

And he firmly believes that as long as he continues to launch haode works, he is afraid that his reputation and status will not go up, and the foundation of a director is still the achievements of his works, and the fame obtained by temporary packaging is too rootless.

The most important thing is that this brokerage contract makes him feel like a cage with a bird, as long as you sign it, the freedom will no longer belong to you alone.

"Yezi, how are you thinking about it, CA company, this is shijie's No. 1 brokerage company, opportunities are hard to find!" Ning Hao looked at Ye Sumang's calm face, and was a little anxious for him, didn't he agree to come down immediately?

Ye Sumang smiled and waved his hand, already having a confident idea.

"I'm going to set up my own film company, so this brokerage contract is pure chicken for me." Although CA is a large company, Ye Sumang will not be tempted by these false names.

"Film company?"

"When did you get this idea?"

"Of course it's been there for a long time!" Ye Sumang looked at Ning Hao and Huang Bo with shocked expressions, and wondered, "Don't you know? ”

"SHIT, when did you tell us!"

Ye Sumang then remembered that he had indeed never told his two brothers about it.

However, running a film company has been a dream of Ye Sumang since he was a child.

He always wanted to have a company of his own, make his favorite movies, and then grow this company into a super entertainment company like DreamWorks, Universal, and Warner.

And when Ye Sumang feels that he is old, he can still watch the honors he has won and the films he has filmed in his own film company, and reminisce about the struggle of this life.

"I see, I didn't say it earlier, I must participate in this film company!"

"And me!"

Ning Hao and Huang Bo heard Ye Sumang finish talking about his ideals, and their eyes also shone brightly, Shijie-level film companies, even in China, can reach it. If they did it, what a thing to be proud of!

"I've thought of the name of the company, it's called 'Tianxia', the meaning is very straightforward, that is, to make our film company to the point where everyone knows the world, okay?" Ye Sumang saw that his two brothers agreed with his ideals, and he was even more excited to say all his thoughts.

"The world, it's good, it sounds very domineering."

"I think it's good, too!"

Ning Hao and Huang Bo are very satisfied with Ye Sumang's name, the world, the whole world, is not the king's land. It's in line with the company's founding goals.

The three brothers clasped their hands tightly together. In this small room, the three giants of Shijie Entertainment Industry Colossus reached a consensus on this in the future.

The matter of running a company is not something that can be done simply by a few people getting together, especially for film and television companies, if there is no way, it will take at least half a year to get that set of documents, and Ye Sumang can't wait that long.

If you want to get these documents quickly, you naturally have to find someone who has a way, Ye Sumang doesn't know many people, and I'm afraid that the only person who has this ability is Ma Fatzi, the manager of Times Cinema.

Ye Sumang didn't expect that he would ask for this person so quickly, but fortunately, he didn't have a bad relationship with the other party at the beginning.

"Brother Ma, I'm afraid this matter is going to trouble you, you need to use the money to take care of it, you can tell me the number." In the afternoon of the same day, Ye Sumang made a phone call to Ma Fatzi and told him about starting a film company.

"Director Ye, you will slap me in the face if you mention money again!" Ma Fatzi swore on the phone and promised: "You give me the application materials or something, as long as it takes a week, all the procedures are complete!" ”

Ma Fatzi really did what he said, and on the sixth day after Ye Sumang called, Ma Fatzi had already arrived at Ye Sumang's house with the completed procedures.

During this period, the two inevitably pulled the relationship again, and Ma Fatzi sat until the evening when Old Man Ye came home, and then he reluctantly left Ye's house, but when he left, Ye Sumang still quietly stuffed him with an envelope, and only said that it was a letter of thanks, Ma Fatzi smiled knowingly, and accepted it very happily.

Back in the car, Xiao Li, the driver of the fat man, complained: "Brother Ma, do you need to give face to this little director like this, didn't you just make a blockbuster film, and maybe the next one will be like?" ”

"Do you know that you're driving and I'm driving?" Ma Fatzi slapped Xiao Li's head with an envelope and reprimanded: "Just because my vision is a hundred times stronger than yours, he is a dragon or a worm, I see it very clearly than you, and you really think that this time the favor is for nothing!?" This is called human exchange, do you understand it? ”

"Yes, Brother Ma, you are right, I will definitely learn more from you in the future." Xiao Li shrank his head and flattered the fat man.

"Well, drive your car well!" After Ma Fatzi said a perfunctory sentence to Xiao Li, he quietly opened the envelope behind the seat, and there was only a thin piece of paper inside, and he took it out and saw that it was a check from China Merchants Bank.

Ma Fatzi immediately moved his eyes to the amount column of the check, and saw a line of capitalized numbers written on the thin paper - two hundred thousand yuan!

At that moment, the fat man's heart couldn't help but skip half a beat, this is his salary for a full year!

He really didn't expect that the young director would be so generous!
