Chapter 574 - I can only sell myself

What are you going to do with me? After sitting for most of the day, Director Chen finally came to his senses, he couldn't think about the question of which ending was better, he only thought about what to do next?

The contract has been signed, and he Chen Da director has completely lost, not only losing the box office dividend of 20 million, but also losing his directorial career.

Director Chen Da doesn't care about the 20 million box office, he feels that he can earn it back in a year or two at most. But if you can't make movies in this life, your life will be completely ruined.

"Go to the tnd contract, I don't care!" This was Director Chen's first reaction in his heart, but when he just came up with this idea, he heard Boss Jia say lightly, "It's okay if you don't want to abide by the contract, the contract is written in black and white, the liquidated damages are 1 billion yuan, just pay me the money!" ”

"1 billion! You are crazy? How is this possible! Director Chen Da exclaimed.

"Anyway, that's what it says in the contract, if you don't pay compensation, then as long as I find out that you have made anything related to film and television, even if it is only a few minutes of short films, I can apply to the court for compensation."

"It's okay for you to hide behind the scenes, but don't let me find out, or I can sue you. By the way, I have money, and if you have money, you can't hide it from me! Boss Jia said lightly.

"I don't have any money, even if the court raids my house, I won't be able to take out 1 billion!" Director Chen Da is quite a bit of a scoundrel.

"That's fine, just go in and lock up for a few years. I'm also the richest man in China now, and my words are a bit weighty, not to mention anything else, Director Chen Da has lived in for more than ten years, I think it can still be done! ”

"......" Director Chen Da shuddered, and at this time he remembered that Boss Jia in front of him was not his partner when he met for the first time, but had been upgraded to become the richest man in China.

Although there has never been any public data to prove that Boss Jia is the richest man in China, and Boss Jia himself does not admit it, everyone knows that Jia Yapeng is already the richest man in China.

And as the richest man, if he doesn't have something under his hands, how can he do such a position.

Although Director Chen Da won the Oscar, he is just a director in the final analysis.

Previously, because of the Oscar Awards, Director Chen Da was hotly praised by the national media, and the whole person floated to the sky, and now he was kicked back to the ground by Boss Jia, and he finally remembered the terrifying power behind Boss Jia.

"I was wrong, Mr. Jia, please forgive me for my arrogance!" Director Chen Da was completely cowardly this time.

If you don't admit it, Director Chen Da is definitely no better than Boss Jia in China, but if you go abroad, it seems to be a solution to the problem, but except for the United States, I'm afraid no country will be willing to invest in letting Director Chen Da make a movie.

In the United States, Director Chen Da remembered Boss Jia's large number of business cooperation relations in the United States, and the whole person was cowardly, completely cowardly.

That's the power of the rich.

"Do you still want to make a movie?" Boss Jia sat down and looked at Director Chen, who looked like a little daughter-in-law in front of him.

"Yes!" Director Chen nodded vigorously.

"Okay, sign this contract!" Boss Jia snapped his fingers, and the secretary sent a contract to Director Chen Da.

"It's a contract again!" Director Chen Da trembled up and down, and now when he saw the contract, Director Chen Da had an instinctive fear.

However, for the sake of his life and future, Director Chen Da obediently picked up this contract, read it carefully and carefully, and then breathed a long sigh of relief.

It turns out that this is a contract signed by Daqian Entertainment, as long as this contract is signed, Director Chen Da will be the contracted director of Daqian Entertainment. According to the provisions of this contract, this contract will be signed for 30 years, and within 30 years, if Director Chen wants to resign, he must pay 1 billion yuan in liquidated damages.

When he saw this, Director Chen Da was very resistant, because signing this contract was equivalent to completely selling himself to Jia Yapeng, which belonged to getting out of the wolf's den and entering the tiger pit, basically there was no difference.

However, after reading the details of the contract, Director Chen Da found that this contract is not impossible to sign.

First of all, although this contract was signed for 30 years in one go, the constraints on Director Chen Da are not too big. The most important point is that this contract does not restrict director Chen Da from receiving film shooting investment from other investors.

even took the initiative to write that as long as the director is willing and the company has no other film shooting plans, then he can accept investment from other companies or individuals to shoot movies according to his own wishes, but the company will charge 5% of the total investment as a signing fee.

At the same time, Director Chen Da is also very free in other aspects, only when the company has a film shooting plan and needs Director Chen Da to shoot, Director Chen Da cannot refuse, and shoots in strict accordance with the framework and scope of the company's requirements.

In addition, the company requires director Chen Da to maintain the company's reputation at all times, as well as cooperate with the company's various publicity plans and tasks.

In the end, Daqian Entertainment will pay 100,000 yuan every year as director Chen Da's salary.

To put it simply, after signing this contract, Daqian Entertainment is equivalent to having the right of first refusal of Director Chen Da, and when Daqian Entertainment does not want to use Director Chen Da, Director Chen Da has to appear immediately.

In addition, every time Director Chen Da receives an investment, Boss Jia can get a signing fee from Director Chen Da.

And when Daqian Entertainment was not interested in Director Chen, Director Chen was free, and he still had a salary of 100,000 yuan per year.

So Director Chen Da feels that this contract is still relatively okay for him.

However, Director Chen still feels that there may be a pit waiting for him in this contract.

"Mr. Jia, do you really agree that I accept other people's investment and help other people make movies and make money?" Director Chen asked with some curiosity.

"Well, as long as it doesn't affect my plans, you can do whatever you want!" Boss Jia nodded, he seemed to see Director Chen's concern, and said lightly, "Don't worry, I don't have much interest in you for the time being, and I won't ask you to make a movie in two or three years, you can rest assured to do your own thing!" ”

"Why?" Director Chen Da was a little puzzled, Jia Yapeng signed this contract by himself, and made it clear that he wanted to make money by making movies for him, but now he said such things, what did he want?

"Because you're too good to make a movie that can make money, all that can be used is the title of Oscar director!" Boss Jia said lightly, the angry Director Chen's nose is crooked again!

————————————

The reporters who went to the Imperial Capital Hotel at night are now very depressed.

originally said that the press conference would be held at 8 o'clock in the evening, but it was forcibly delayed to 10 o'clock in the evening, and Director Chen Da still had no intention of showing up, so he left these reporters dry for more than two hours.

But there is no way, this is the style of the Oscar director, if you want to interview people, then wait here honestly!

In fact, this is not Director Chen Da's original intention, but after watching the second movie, it was already 9 o'clock in the evening, and he tossed the film contract with Boss Jia, so it naturally dragged on until 10 o'clock in the evening.

However, the press conference was held as scheduled, and as all reporters had guessed, it was a celebratory press conference.

Because this time there was not only director Chen Da, but also the chairman of Daqian Group, the rumored richest man in China, Mr. Jia Yapeng, the two of them warmly hugged and shook hands in front of the camera, and then announced at the same time that the two-day box office of Farewell My Concubine exceeded 20 million yuan.

Finally, under the witness of all the spotlights, Director Chen Da and Daqian Entertainment jointly announced the signing of a 20-year long-term stable contract between the two parties.

However, director Chen Da also said that although he signed a contract with Daqian Entertainment, he can still accept film investment from other investors, but please contact Daqian Entertainment directly for all investments, and then Daqian Entertainment will be responsible for the transfer.

In short, in a harmonious and friendly atmosphere, Director Chen Da has basically sold himself to our Boss Jia in his life.
