When Wang Zhonglei received a call from Gu Cancan, he felt quite strange at that time.

The matter of cooperating with the bright times to shoot "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" was the hand of Wang Zhonglei, in fact, the crew of Thirty-three Days of Broken Love also has a producer of Huayi.

So for Wang Zhonglei, Gu Cancan's identity is not only a famous director, she is also the chairman of the bright era.

Gu Cancan proposed to meet Wang Zhonglei, and he happily agreed.

When it was time to make an appointment, Gu Cancan came to Huayi.

Wang Zhonglei's secretary was already waiting downstairs, and when he saw Gu Cancan, the good-looking secretary led Gu Cancan to Wang Zhonglei's office.

Gu Cancan was a little unhappy in her heart, although she usually does the work of a director, but in terms of identity, she is the founder of the bright era, the same as Wang Zhongjun, from a certain point of view, she is one level higher than Wang Zhonglei, the vice president of Huayi.

Wang Zhonglei is too big, but Gu Cancan also has a plan for coming this time, although he feels neglected, he doesn't take it to heart, he just has a faint unhappiness in his heart.

Seeing Wang Zhonglei, his attitude was still enthusiastic, and after chatting a few words, Wang Zhonglei smiled and said: "Miss Gu, this time I came about the release of "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love"? ”

"Yes, the movie has been filmed, and I think the distribution should also be discussed with Mr. Wang, after all, Huayi has also invested a lot of money." Gu Cancan said.

If Teng Huatao's invitation to Wang Kai as the male protagonist of "Snail House" is a goodwill release from the Beijing circle to the bright era, Gu Cancan let Wen Zhang be the male protagonist of "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love", and allowed Huayi to jointly invest in "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love", which can be regarded as the response and goodwill of the bright era to the Beijing circle.

Of course, Gu Cancan is not afraid of the Beijing circle, the future film and television industry is always quality king, as long as she and the bright times can always come up with excellent works, no one can help her.

Gu Cancan can't always go it alone, the current low-cost movies can come by themselves, low-cost comedies or youth films have a small investment and high profits, but in the future, Gu Cancan can't always shoot similar movies, there are only a few classics, and when they are all copied, what should Gu Cancan do?

In fact, Gu Cancan is also ambitious, of course she will not be satisfied with plagiarism, she also has her own pursuits, big scenes and big productions Gu Cancan will definitely be involved in the future, when the time comes, it will not be all invested in the bright times, and external capital must be introduced, when the time comes, it is inevitable to deal with other film and television companies and investment companies, and now cooperating with Huayi can be regarded as a trial.

It's better to have a friend by your side than to be the enemy of the whole world, even if it's a plastic friend.

There are also certain benefits to cooperating with Huayi, the other party's publicity and distribution channels are very strong, and they are good at hype, if "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" has the other party to release and promote, the box office may be unexpected.

Gu Cancan mentioned the release, Wang Zhonglei's eyes lit up, he smiled, and said: "This movie has our Huayi's investment, and it is the most suitable for our Huayi to release it." ”

"Hehe, today I just want to discuss the issue with Mr. Wang. In the past, the films of our bright era were all distributed by China Film, and the cooperation was very pleasant. ”

Wang Zhonglei frowned, could it be that Gu Cancan meant that she didn't need Huayi, she came today to tell herself to let Zhongying come?

The serialization of "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" is very hot, and the response to this article published on Gu Cancan's Weibo on the Internet is very enthusiastic, and it has a huge readership.

Therefore, when Hua Yi learned that Gu Cancan agreed to Hua Yi to jointly invest in the filming of the movie "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love", she was pleasantly surprised, Gu Cancan's directing ability has been recognized by many people, and this one has a wide readership.

However, the right to speak is still in the hands of the bright era, and who will issue it will have the final say.

With Huayi's investment, Wang Zhonglei has long thought that the publicity and distribution of "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" is already in Huayi's bag, after all, the bright era has no distribution ability, but now listening to Gu Cancan's meaning, he doesn't plan to let Huayi release it, so he was a little anxious, and hurriedly said: "Miss Gu, Huayi's publicity and distribution ability is no worse than that of Zhongying, especially publicity, I can say that Huayi is stronger." It is more appropriate for this film to be distributed by Huayi. ”

Gu Cancan hesitated and said, "But Manager Zhao of China Film contacted me, and our previous cooperation was very pleasant. ”

"Hehe, it's not a good thing that the publicity and distribution channels are fixed, Miss Gu must think about it carefully." Wang Zhonglei said: "The film has our Huayi's investment, and if we publicize it, we will definitely do our best." Miss Gu, the treatment of your own son will always be better than that of your godson, isn't it? ”

Gu Cancan smiled cooperatively and said, "Yes, of course I also know Huayi's strength, so let's think about it for two days and then give you an answer." ”

Wang Zhonglei was anxious, but he didn't show it on the surface, so he had to say, "Okay, then I'll wait for Miss Gu's news." ”

Gu Cancan nodded, made a gesture to leave, and then suddenly remembered something, and said casually: "By the way, Mr. Wang, Huayi has a little actor named Zhao Liying, who is not from a professional class, and has been playing tricks, she is my fellow countryman, it just so happened that I have met her twice, she is quite in love, I like her very much." Mr. Wang, I don't know if I can cut my love? ”

Gu Cancan suddenly mentioned a small actor under Huayi, Wang Zhonglei was completely unexpected, and he was stunned for a while.

After staying for a few seconds, Wang Zhonglei said: "Eh, this, the specific situation, Zhao Liying?" In fact, we attach great importance to our actors, so I will also ask her personal opinion, Miss Gu, I will reply to you later, okay? ”

Gu Cancan smiled and nodded, without explaining too much, and left adrift.

After Gu Cancan left, Wang Zhonglei instructed his secretary to bring Zhao Liying's information.

"Oh, it was her." After looking at the photos, Wang Zhonglei had no impression, and it wasn't until he saw the profile that he finally remembered who Zhao Liying was, the champion girl of Yahoo Star Search in 2004, and he also took an advertisement with Xiaogang.

It's quite beautiful, but it has a round face, and this appearance is not suitable for the entertainment industry.

At that time, it was because the show was signed, but looking at the work in the past few years, I can't see the future at all.

Wang Zhonglei tapped Zhao Liying's photo with his finger and thought seriously for a long time.

Gu Cancan wants her, is there anything special about it?

After asking the secretary to find out who Zhao Liying was following, Wang Zhonglei called He Ru.

He Ru is Zhao Liying's agent.

"Zhao Liying? is a very diligent little girl, but her appearance limits her acting path, at most, she is suitable for playing a small match such as a maid, and she is not from a professional class, she is wild, and her acting skills are not very good. The temper is quite strong, but it is quite tenacious, and it has been running around for so many years, and it has been persistent. Mr. Wang, you ask her? ”

He Ru seriously talked about Zhao Liying's situation and asked carefully.

Wang Zhonglei was silent for a moment and asked, "To be honest, do you think she has a lot of potential and a future?" ”

He Ru thought for a few seconds, and said slowly: "Don't dare to hide Mr. Wang, Zhao Liying's personality is quite hardworking, but her own conditions are too flawed, I think at most the eldest female partner is the apex." ”

"So, why, someone wants her, do you think you should let go?"

He Ru looked at Wang Zhonglei in surprise: "Someone dug Zhao Liying?" ”

"Yes. What contract did Zhao Liying sign? ”

"The E-level contract, signed for eight years, is now more than four years to expire."

Huayi's contracts are divided into grades, with grade E being the bottom.

Wang Zhonglei nodded, sure enough, Zhao Liying was not favored.

He said: "What, is it so that Zhao Liying has no value for cultivation? ”

He Ru said: "It can't be said that there is no at all, the little girl has a tough personality and has the strength to not admit defeat." But to be honest, I don't think it's worth much. Mr. Wang, let me ask more, who dug her? ”

There is nothing to hide from He Ru, Wang Zhonglei said: "It's Gu Cancan." ”

"Gu Cancan!"

How can his eyes roll, Gu Cancan is optimistic about Zhao Liying? In this case, should we re-evaluate the value of Zhao Liying?

Wang Zhonglei had already made up his mind, and from He Ru's narrative and his own judgment, this Zhao Liying's prospects were limited.

Although I don't know what the reason is that Gu Cancan wants Zhao Liying, it is obvious that this is one of Gu Cancan's conditions.

Obviously, Hua Yi wants to release "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love", and Zhao Liying's brokerage contract will be given to Gu Cancan.

Since Gu Cancan has something to ask for, then he can naturally make some requests.

……

Back in the bright era, before Gu Cancan walked to her office, she was stopped by Su Luo's secretary: "Little Mr. Gu, Mr. Su is looking for you." ”

When he came to Su Luo's office, Gu Cancan unexpectedly found that there were still a few guests in the office.

When Su Luo introduced these people to her, Gu Cancan knew what kind of people the other party was from an investment company.

I came to Gu Cancan to make a movie.

"As long as Miss Gu is willing to shoot for us, you don't have to worry about the delivery."

The other party behaved very generously.

But after talking, Gu Cancan and Su Luo found out that the other party might be here to launder money.

The film and television industry is naturally very suitable for money laundering, first of all, the production cost of film and television dramas is not transparent, and secondly, the income of film and television dramas cannot be verified. One harvest, both sides can be washed. Specifically, in terms of expenditure, extras, scene props, modeling and makeup, all need to spend money, but how much is actually spent and how much is the expenditure reasonable, there is no objective standard at all.

For example, a film and television company pays a newly established planning company 10 million yuan to hire a so-called Japanese master to design so-called special retro clothing and hairstyles, and the film and television company also blatantly uses this to promote the movie.

No one dares to say that there is a problem with this price.

Of course, if the shareholders of this planning company continue to track down, they will eventually find the film and television company itself. But what does it matter? Film and television companies don't need to announce these planning contracts, and the bank tax bureau will not be full of money anyway, spending a huge amount of time and energy to track down the final direction of film and television production funds.

Under the propaganda of film and television companies for many years, I am afraid that most people also believe in the reasonableness of spending tens of millions of dollars to make a styling, but in fact, the money really paid to fashion designers and stylists is only tens of thousands of yuan.

The person who claimed to be the chairman of Pudao Investment said to Gu Cancan: "Miss Gu, as long as you are willing to direct, I can guarantee that you can get hundreds of millions of remuneration in it." ”

It's a pity that Gu Cancan knew the other party's intentions and refused without hesitation.

Politely sent the other party away, Su Luo said apologetically: "Cancan, it was introduced by a friend, and I didn't know they had this in mind." ”

"It's okay, I don't blame you." Gu Cancan waved his hand and sighed: "The muddy waters of film and television are too deep." ”

She knows that in the original time and space, the tax issues of stars and film and television companies involved in the "Yin and Yang Contract" that broke out by Cui Yongyuan in 2018.

The problem of "money laundering" in the film and television industry has been around for a long time.

In January 2005, Jinling's "Weekend" reported that Shi Xue, the "No. 1 financial criminal in the founding of the People's Republic of China", invested 50 million yuan to participate in the filming of the TV series "The Son of Heaven", which was to launder money for illegal gains.

In the first major anti-drug case in 2007, the drug lord Li Xianhuan, who had been dormant for three years, lurked in the film and television industry as an investor, and at the end of 2006, he started filming the TV series "Money Laundering" in Hengdian Film and Television City. He also used the filming of TV dramas as a cover to manufacture methamphetamine in Hengdian.

In recent years, there has been a steady stream of film and television dramas in the circle, and their strange sources of funds are not unrelated to "money laundering".

For a long time, we seem to have walked into a misunderstanding, always criticizing how domestic TV dramas and movies are big and bad movies, losing more and more money, but there are fewer and fewer high-quality films.

In fact, it is not that Huaxia lacks Hollywood genes, it is not that the quality of domestic practitioners is low, and the actors are not dedicated, but that the capital side of many film and television dramas does not care about quality, and only cares about how to quickly bleach "money laundering".

Sun Honglei also exposed such shady scenes: "We receive scripts every day, and 70% of them cannot be filmed, and we will definitely lose money if we shoot." Some investors are making actresses and laundering money by filming film and television dramas, which is a mess, making the industry not as clean as before. ”

Director Li Kelong once pointed out: "I have met such investors many times, they say, I will invest 10 million to make a movie for you, of which 2 million is for you to make a film, you have to give me 10 million accounts, and the remaining millions will be returned to me in the name of box office or profits." This is a form of money laundering in movies, which is playing with the law, and of course I don't dare to do it. ”

To use a budget of 1 million to wash 10 million accounts, the crew will falsely report high prices on venues, costumes, props and sets, so that the money can be washed away quickly.

For example, if you want to shoot a costume drama, you can design a scene that blows up a city tower, and it costs 500,000 yuan to build this kind of city tower, and you can take 5 million material costs, anyway, the city tower has been blown up, and there is no proof of death.

There are also shrewd crews who don't have to be filmed and arranged in China, and they are easy to be checked, so they go abroad, because it is difficult to issue invoices abroad, and the budget can be reported casually, and these can't be checked clearly.

"Chinese movies are in chaos, and it's not just the pot of film and television itself." Gu Cancan sighed.

"Alas, in this environment, it's good for us to stand upright in the bright era, don't think about anything else. By the way, Cancan, Su Mang invited our company to participate in this year's Harper's Bazaar charity gala, you are ready. ”
