"Mr. Tang in the morning!"

"Mr. Tang is early!"

"Good morning, Mr. Tang!"

“……”

Tang Shuxuan walked into the elevator with an old cloth bag on his back, and the employees in the elevator greeted one after another.

Although he is the vice president of film and television at Oriental DreamWorks, in charge of DreamWorks' film and TV series shooting, Tang Shuxuan's dress is still very plain. With black-rimmed glasses and short hair, she was wearing a rustic and outdated coat, and at first glance she thought she was a native girl from the countryside.

After ascending to the fourth floor, half of the people in the elevator were gone. Before the elevator door closed, Tang Shuxuan vaguely heard an employee talking outside: "Have you read today's newspaper?" "Love Saint" and "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" were banned by the Taiwan Information Bureau. ”

"It's really fake, doesn't it mean that Mr. Kang's relations in Taiwan are very tough?"

"What's hard, the backers of the black and white are all down."

"Mr. Kang is also really, if Phoenix TV is not allowed to cooperate with the G Industrial Party, now even the Taiwan market will be lost."

"He himself swam from the mainland, of course, towards that side."

“……”

The elevator slowly rose, and the chatter outside finally disappeared, and the few remaining employees in the elevator all bowed their heads. Because Tang Shuxuan's face was very unsightly at this time, no one dared to jump out and touch his head.

The news in the newspaper in the past two days has become more and more outrageous, saying that the total blockade of DreamWorks is just a trivial matter, and there are even rumors that the Taiwan authorities have banned Kang Jianfei from entering the country.

Repeating a lie 10,000 times is the truth, and the news can make people believe it, not to mention that the two movies "Love Saint" and "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" have indeed suffered setbacks in Taiwan.

Although there is no panic in DreamWorks now, rumors are already spreading, and the heads of various departments can't control the mouths of employees after repeatedly refuting the rumors.

Screenwriting Section, Television Production Department, DreamWorks.

Wen Ruian, who has only been officially joining DreamWorks for a week, also feels that the working atmosphere around him is a little wrong in the past two days.

No, early in the morning, Li Yizong of the screenwriting department was talking about the new news that "Love Saint" was blocked. Several screenwriters who have never even been to Taiwan chatted enthusiastically.

When they heard the sound of footsteps outside the writing room, the screenwriters immediately adapted the conversation and began to discuss the script of "Divine Kitchen".

"Mr. Kang's plot is really well designed, I think "God Chef" can be added to this bridge......"

"Hey, this seems really good, and it must be very joyful to write it."

“……”

The director of the screenwriting department took a turn in the office, learned about everyone's progress in the script, and said some words of encouragement and urging.

As soon as the leader left, the screenwriters began to talk nonsense again. Li Yizong suddenly asked Wen Ruian as he spoke: "Xiao Wen, I heard that you were deported from Taiwan?" ”

Wen Ruian was compiling the script of "The Four Famous Catchers of Beijing", and the filming of this drama will start in two days, when he heard Li Yizong's question, his face suddenly became gloomy.

He was deported by the Taiwan authorities. has always been a stalk of Wen Rui's peace of mind. No unit in Hong Kong dared to publish his novels for fear of offending the Taiwan authorities. As a result, Wen Ruian almost failed to get a work visa in Hong Kong.

Wen Ruian endured and did not have a seizure. With a blank face, he said: "What do the Taiwan authorities have to fear?" It's just a tiger made of paper, and my novel wasn't banned in Taiwan at the beginning of the year? ”

Li Yizong was about to say more, when suddenly the director of the screenwriting department walked in and shouted to Wen Rui'an: "Mr. Wen, Mr. Xu is going to shoot "The Four Famous Catches" in advance, you first revise the script of the first few episodes. I'm going to get the script before I get off work in the afternoon. ”

Wen Ruian nodded and said, "It's good, it must be completed before four o'clock in the afternoon." ”

The director of the screenwriting department said: "Don't be in a hurry, just sort out the scripts of the first three episodes first." After saying to Wen Ruian with a pleasant face, he said to the other screenwriters with a straight face. The script of "Divine Kitchen" was written carefully for me, this is a TV series planned by Kang Jianfei. If anyone spreads rumors again and is heard by me, he will directly take this month's salary and leave! ”

After speaking, the director of the screenwriting department turned around and left, and the screenwriters looked at each other, and finally tacitly stopped mentioning the fact that DreamWorks was blocked by Taiwan.

DreamWorks is a little better here, and Oriental Entertainment is really panicking.

At this time, Pan Yingzi's office was sitting Zhong Zhentao and Alan Tam, they came in and began to pull around, until they heard Pan Yingzi's secretary remind someone to wait outside, Alan Tam took the lead in speaking: "Miss Pan, my economic contract with Oriental Entertainment Company is signed once a year, and it expires in two months this year, I want to cancel the automatic renewal." ”

Pan Yingzi no longer went around in circles, but said with a smile: "The two of you don't have to listen to the rumors outside, not to mention that DreamWorks cannot be completely blocked by the Taiwan authorities, even if DreamWorks is really blocked, it will not affect the contracted actors of Oriental Entertainment Company, you can still take the film outside like before." ”

Stars like Alan Tam and Zhong Zhentao, who are not worried about filming, signed with Oriental Entertainment Company just to increase some opportunities to appear in DreamWorks movies. Now that DreamWorks is going to be blocked by the Taiwan authorities, what are they still doing in Oriental Entertainment? If it is an external contract with another company, you can make more money without the brokerage company.

And they, like Zheng Shaoqiu, have huge popularity in Taiwan, for fear that they will be affected by DreamWorks and lose the Taiwan market.

Zhong Zhentao and Alan Tam exchanged glances, and the former asked very directly: "Miss Pan, my brokerage contract is still more than half a year, if I terminate the contract early now, I don't know how much liquidated damages Lu Dao will have to pay?" ”

The smile on Pan Yingzi's face was a little reluctant, and she used the procrastination trick to say: "It seems that the two of you are determined to leave, so let's give me three days, and I will give you an answer." ”

Alan Tam and Zhong Zhentao didn't want to make too much trouble, and said, "Then we'll leave first." ”

"Walk slowly!" Pan Yingzi smiled, and as soon as the two of them left the office, she immediately put away her smile and paged Zeng Bolin.

After more than ten minutes, Kang Jianfei called back and asked, "Good Ah Zi, what's the urgency?" Phineas, I'm filming. ”

"When are you still joking," Pan Yingzi said angrily, "From yesterday to now, there have been seven star actors who have asked to terminate their contracts." ”

"Who are they?" Kang Jianfei asked.

Pan Yingzi said: "Zhong Zhentao, Alan Tam, Chen You, Tian Niu, Xu Guanying, Zheng Peipei and Hui Yinghong. These seven people are all very popular in Taiwan, and they must have wanted to dissociate themselves from DreamWorks as soon as possible. ”

"Chen You and Hui Yinghong are also going to terminate the contract?" Kang Jianfei asked in surprise, although Chen You and Hui Yinghong have not been promoted to the ranks of top stars, they are also actors who have been highly praised by DreamWorks for a long time, and they have to shoot at least three DreamWorks dramas a year, and the film contract has hardly been interrupted.

Pan Yingzi analyzed: "Chen Youyou seems to be going to form a film company with Zhong Zhentao, as for Hui Yinghong, I guess it is Jiahe who is poaching people." ”

In this way, it makes sense, the competition on the DreamWorks side is too fierce, and Hui Yinghong can't surpass Lin Qingxia and Zhong Chuhong no matter how hard she tries. And there are very few signed actresses on Golden Harvest's side, and Hui Yinghong has been treated as a lady in the past.

And now Hui Yinghong's mentor Liu Jialiang also opened a film company with the support of Zou Wenhuai, and Hui Yinghong used to be covered by Liu Jialiang.

Kang Jianfei was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly said, "If you want to go, go." Three-legged toads are hard to find, and two-legged actors are everywhere. As for the liquidated damages, they will come up according to the contract. ”

Pan Yingzi said worriedly: "The loss of a few of them is acceptable. I'm afraid that more and more people will leave, and we have to kill this trend. ”

Now they are all big-name stars, as for the second- and third-tier stars, they really don't dare to go, they can't afford to pay the liquidated damages themselves, and no one will help them pay, and the contract is not for fun.

"I'll take care of it, you don't have to worry about it. All right. I'm going to get busy soon, bye! Kang Jianfei hung up the phone after speaking.

Pan Yingzi listened to the busy voice and said angrily: "This bastard, he won't say a word more than a phone call." ”

Kang Jianfei is still in the mood to flirt with Pan Yingzi on the phone, and the situation in Taiwan is becoming more and more confusing. Newspapers here in Hong Kong spread bad news about DreamWorks. It must be the ghost of Taiwan's eight major film companies, but it is impossible to find out which one or several of them made the move.

And Yu Huanping's negotiations with China Film have also reached an impasse, firstly, the lion of China Film opened his mouth and actually asked for 80% of the distribution and theater sharing (China Film has both distribution and cinema business); The second is that China Film has taken a fancy to the distribution rights of "Love Saint", but this film has signed a contract with the scholar and Long Xiang, and the latter two companies are of course unwilling to make profits for nothing.

Of course, the negotiations have to be slowed down, but DreamWorks can't afford to wait now, because after "Love Saint" and "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers", DreamWorks' "Happy Ghost 5" and "Best Friend" and "Public Servant" are all banned from being sold in the Taiwan market due to unqualified political censorship.

The situation is completely unfavorable to DreamWorks, which is also the real reason for the fluctuation of people's hearts in Oriental Entertainment Company. It is important to know that when Ye Zhiming's Binbin Film Company cooperated with leftist cinemas, the Taiwan authorities not only banned the films of Binbin Film Company, but also banned Ye Zhiming's jeans brand from being sold into Taiwan, causing the Binbin jeans empire with a market value of hundreds of millions to collapse in an instant.

With the consistent urine nature of the Taiwan authorities, if DreamWorks is to be banned, then Kang Jianfei's Phoenix Channel, Fengxing Records, and Oriental Entertainment Company will all be blocked, how can Alan Tam and others dare to leave their agents in Oriental Entertainment Company? In case Oriental Entertainment is banned, their contracted artists may also be blacklisted.

Kang Jianfei ended today's filming early, contacted Yu Huanping by phone, and asked, "How did you talk to China Film?" ”

Yu Jianping reported: "The box office share has talked about 70%, and the other side will not let go. However, the most troublesome thing is the distribution right of "Love Saint", China Film promised that if the film was handed over to them for distribution, they would be responsible for doing the work of the Information Bureau and making the film pass the censorship smoothly, but Long Xiang and the scholar dragged the distribution contract and did not let go. ”

Kang Jianfei didn't take Yu Jianping's headache seriously at all, but he was overjoyed when he heard his report, and asked: "In other words, as long as "Love Saint" is handed over to China Film for distribution, then the so-called ban on DreamWorks by the Information Bureau will be lifted?" ”

"It can be said that China Film should be able to do the work of the Information Bureau," Yu Huping said embarrassedly, "but scholars and Long Xiang are unwilling to hand over the distribution rights of "Love Saint". ”

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "Lao Yu, you are too straightforward to do things. What is the difference between a scholar and a Long Xiangjiao who does not hand over the right to publish? The copy of the movie is with us, so why don't we just hand over the copy to China Film for release? ”

Yu Huping said: "But this is a breach of contract!" When the time comes, the more popular "Love Saint" will sell in Taiwan, the more money we will compensate scholars and Long Xiang! ”

Kang Jianfei smiled: "If I don't lose money, they can still bite me?" If you want to fight a lawsuit, you can fight it slowly, and when the lawsuit is over, "Love Saint" will be screened, and I don't know how many years it has been. And this kind of thing shouldn't be a headache for us, since China Film has taken a fancy to the distribution rights of "Love Saint", it is up to them to make efforts to solve it. ”

Yu Huanping was silent for a while before saying, "I'm afraid this is not good......

"There's nothing bad about it," Kang Jianfei was still not at ease with Yu Jianping's level of service, and said, "Forget it, I'll go to Taipei in person in two days, and you can continue to talk with China Film first, and strive to divide the conversation into a high point." (To be continued......)
