Chapter 43: Zheng Jun's Gamble

This day is destined to be unpeaceful, Zheng Hailan returned to a three-story villa covering several acres in Fengtai, south of the city, which is the residence of Zheng Jun, the real boss of Tianya Film Company. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Although his son Zheng Haitao is in charge of Tianya Film Company and his daughter Zheng Hailan is in charge of Tianya Records, the owner of the company is still Zheng Jun, and he is the real master of Tianya Company.

Zheng Jun is now sixty-three years old, thin and tall, his face looks very kind, the smile marks on his cheeks are obvious, but there is not much smile in his eyes, on the contrary, he often flashes with fine light, and his face casts a not very healthy pale.

He started as a theater projectionist at the age of eighteen, successively worked in some film companies, and used the golden age of the Chinese film explosion in the seventies and eighties to establish his own film company.

However, the stubborn tuberculosis caused by a sudden pneumonia five years ago made his body no longer able to bear the fatigue, and he could only hand over the family business to his only son Zheng Haitao to inherit, which also became a watershed in Tianya's performance.

From that time on, Tianya Company's performance began to decline step by step, first Tianya Records entered the quagmire, and some singers left one after another.

Up to now, even Tianya Film and Television Company has shown fatigue, gradually moving from profit to loss, and the impact of Zheng Jun's departure on Tianya Company can be seen.

"I called your brothers and sisters back today to have a meal together, your mother misses you, as a mother, I miss my children very much if I don't see them for a long time,"

Zheng Jun smiled and looked at his wife Wang Xia, less than sixty years old, Wang Xia, whose hair was still black and bright, and her demeanor was extremely graceful, gave him a white look, although she said that she missed the child, but today's family gathering was still the old man's Zhang Luo, but at this time, it was pushed on her, and the old man would make a mistake.

"You should come back from time to time to see your mother, too."

"Dad, you said this as if you didn't want us." Zheng Haitao interjected with a grin.

He is a tall middle-aged man with a ruddy complexion, Chinese New Year's Eve this year, when a man is at his most attractive, because he has been in the company for many years, so he is extremely decisive in speaking and doing things.

Of course, when you are at home, you are still extremely filial to your parents, and you can also adjust the atmosphere appropriately.

"It's like, Daddy doesn't want us." Zheng Hailan also agreed, a shallow smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, but the rest of his eyes looked at his mother, she was still closer to Wang Xia.

The meal was served, the family had a good meal together, Zheng Haitao chatted with his father, and Zheng Hailan and his mother muttered endlessly together, all of which were some things about women.

After eating, the family came to the living room, Zheng Jun picked up the hot tea that Wang Xia had already prepared, looked at the two brothers and sisters and asked,

"I heard that the two of you had a fight in the company, right, what the hell is going on."

Zheng Jun didn't have a trace of a smile on his face at this time, and he looked at the two children inquiringly.

"Well, there's such a thing,"

Zheng Haitao shook his head and looked at his father helplessly,

"At noon today, I accidentally learned that Heilan actually signed a contract with a rookie band that made other companies laugh and other artists in the company very dissatisfied, so...

Zheng Haitao shook his head again, in fact, he intended to take advantage of this matter to get mad, his father let his sister take charge of Tianya Records has the taste of a refined sister, he knows very well that this is his father beating him, expressing his dissatisfaction with his poor performance in the past few years in charge of Tianya Pictures.

Therefore, he no longer dared to underestimate the original yellow-haired girl, because this sister had already posed a serious threat to his status.

"Heilan has something to say."

Zheng Jun looked at his daughter and smiled encouragingly.

Zheng Hailan put away her smile, she smoothed her straight black hair to the back of her head, and raised her pretty face,

"Dad, I had a fight with my eldest brother in the afternoon, but I still have to insist on this matter."

Zheng Hailan's fair-skinned melon seed face smiled lightly, and his black and white eyes were calm and persistent.

"Look at you, you don't have any experience in the industry, how can you do it so recklessly." Zheng Haitao shook his head, he made up his mind to take advantage of this opportunity in front of his father to hit his sister, who was a complete layman.

"Since my dad appointed me as the manager of the record label, then I have the right to decide on this matter."

Zheng Hailan remembered that she was called to the office of the film company by Zheng Haitao in the afternoon to accuse the two of having a big quarrel, you are too naΓ―ve, you are too rash, how can you gamble so much, you are doing this to destroy the record company, this is what the old brother said at the time, but she still insisted that she was right.

"Okay, you made a lot of noise in the afternoon, and even the teacup was dropped, do you seem to be the company's decision-makers, and what do your subordinates think?"

Zheng Jun interrupted them in a deep voice.

Zheng Haitao twisted his body unnaturally, he did this, and his father has a lot of eyeliner in the company.

"Heilan, I said that this is your chance but it won't be long, if you do a good job, this record company will be handed over to you to operate, if not, you will dispel this idea, find me a good family to marry, and the two of us will be relieved of your future."

Zheng Jun looked at his daughter, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, obviously he was really not angry.

"I know that there is not much time left for me, but I am not gambling on the signing of the contract, I watched all the songs they sang, it was so exciting, and their strength was not inferior to that of the same line of singers,"

Zheng Hailan did not have a trace of timidity under the gaze of her father and son, her beautiful eyes looked at her father very firmly, she knew that if she couldn't pass the father's level, everything else would be nothing.

"Let's talk about this contract."

Zheng Jun withdrew his gaze and looked at the teapot in his hand.

"I signed a one-and-a-half-year contract with the five of them, and the profits were thirty-seven percent, and after a year and a half, they first signed with us under the same conditions, and gave the drummer and producer of this band 300,000 yuan to buy six songs in his hands, and at the same time asked him to supervise an album for each of the two female lead singers, and the songs were also provided by him. Well, the singer and producer are both one million yuan in contract breaking money. ”

Zheng Hailan laid out all the conditions.

"Look, what are the conditions, some singers of the company have expressed their dissatisfaction to the company through their assistants, after all, the income of the newcomers is the same as that of the old people who have released three albums, I can't bear it, their contract is about to expire, if this thing is not arranged properly, they have the possibility of leaving, after all, their album sales are not as good as the first line, but they also have their own fan base."

Zheng Haitao vented all his dissatisfaction at once, and he still can't accept this contract.

"What about your opinion," Zheng Jun asked his son inquiringly.

"It's not okay to give some compensation and let them go, I'd rather lose some money than make all the artists resentful." Zheng Haitao said what he said to his sister in the afternoon.

"No," Zheng Hailan looked at her brother firmly, "for them, even if the company loses all the artists, it's worth it." ”

"What are you talking about, those artists are the fruits of the past few years that have been hard to stay, and you have to give up easily."

Zheng Haitao was really a little angry.

Zheng Jun made a gesture to block Zheng Haitao's words,

"You're so sure this band will succeed."

Zheng Jun stared at Zheng Hailan, there was no tenderness in his eyes, only a sharp gaze, just like his subordinates who sat in the office and questioned him in the early years.

"I'm sure they're the future of the company, and maybe they can help the company go far." The corners of Zheng Hailan's mouth were slightly tense, extremely firm.

"Actually, you still gamble," Zheng Jun stretched out his hand to stop Zheng Hailan's rebuttal, "What has not been tested by the market and estimated is more or less gambling, and there are too many examples of gambling albums or films in the film and television industry, but I agree." ”

Zheng Hailan, who was originally a little dim, suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at his father in disbelief.

"But there's only one chance." Zheng Jun turned to his son who was a little surprised, "Don't think that I don't know the dilemma of the record company in the past two years, it is better to discard and secure the head office if it continues like this, and the situation of the head office is not too good." ”

This sentence made Zheng Haitao speechless, he didn't need to argue, for more than a year, the two films shot by the company and the three films it purchased, two of which were guaranteed and three of which were lost, can be said to be very bad.

"You still have compassion for Heilan." After the children left, Wang Xia was very satisfied.

"No, it's not, I'm betting on it too,"

Zheng Jun sat back, very tired.

"This, that's what to say."

Wang Xia was very surprised.

"The past two years have been both a test for me in the market and a test for my son, and the result is that he is not qualified, of course, the current situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for independent film companies like us, and he is too hard to support, but it is true that he has no ability to turn the tide."

Zheng Jun closed his eyes,

"Are you betting on your daughter," Wang Xia's voice trembled slightly, she didn't expect the current situation to be so unbearable.

"Yes, in my years of observation, in fact, Heilan's bones are most like me, from the fact that she dares to go alone without any help from the family, I can see that my daughter dares to fight hard and has ambition, of course, she has to be engaged, if she is the material of the Zheng family and her, if not, then marry and bring external force to the Zheng family."

Zheng Jun opened his eyes and looked at his old wife helplessly,

"Actually, I'm gambling."

There was silence in the room for a while.

Entering the Danxia community where she lives, Zheng Hailan drove the car into the underground parking lot, and walked to the elevator through the parking lot where there was no sound and no silence, she ignored the silence around her, and her years of life outside made her accustomed to being independent and self-reliant, and the wolf guard in her bag had three things.

Entering the ninth-floor residence, she suddenly sat down on the sofa, the day was really long, but it was worth it, she had her father's support, even if it was temporary.

Tianya, see if this Tianya can save the other world.

Zheng Hailan struggled to get up and take off his suit, revealing a carcass with amazing charm and walking into the bathroom.
