Chapter 158: Bao Qiang
I still took the train when I went back.
Jiang Bai now feels that it is quite interesting to sit in this kind of high-level soft sleeper, at least he can have a companion on the road, and it is not boring, but it is not too noisy.
But on the morning of the second day on the train, he was communicating with Su Rou, but at this time he suddenly received a call from Wang Baoqiang.
"Hey, Baoqiang, what's wrong?"
"Brother, I want to tell you something."
Jiang Bai was a little sad when he heard Wang Baoqiang's voice on the phone, and thought that the other party had encountered some difficulties: "What's the matter?" Is it money? How much? Don't be embarrassed to ask, although I don't have many right now, I can help you turnaround. ”
Bao Qiang follows him all day long, and if something really happens, he still has to help.
"It's not money, it's the movie I made before."
"What's wrong with the movie?"
"That movie hasn't been reviewed, I asked Director Li, and he said that he couldn't pass after submitting it several times, and now he doesn't plan to release it."
"I can't pass the trial." Jiang Bai sighed, "Actually, it's normal, it's normal that this kind of realistic theme can't pass the trial, Baoqiang, don't be sad, anyway, after you finish this play, won't you get the salary?" ”
After speaking, Jiang Bai patted Su Rou's head with his hand, this little girl took advantage of her phone call to make a mistake, no big or small.
"But that's the case, but it's still sad that the first male number one movie I made in my life can't be released, although I don't want people I know to see me shoot that kind of shot, but now I always feel that my heart is not ......"
"Alas, this is also something that can't be helped, but what is Director Li's plan next? If you can't release it in China, you can consider going abroad, and the outside censorship is a little looser, so maybe it can be sold outside. ”
"Really?"
"Of course, many directors operate like this, I don't know if you've heard of Jiang Wen, I came to XJ this time to make a movie with him, he had a film before that couldn't be released in China, and he went directly to the Cannes Awards, and won several awards, but the consequence was that he was banned for five years after coming back and couldn't be a director to film."
"It's so troublesome, then I still won't tell Director Li." Wang Baoqiang heard that Jiang Wen took the movie to a foreign country for awards, and he would be punished when he came back, so he immediately broke off the idea of suggesting such a proposal to Director Li.
"It's okay, let's talk about it, anyway, I feel like even if you don't say it, he'll probably do it."
"Then I won't let me mention, when the time comes, Director Li will do whatever he wants, no matter at home or abroad, I feel good if it can be released anyway, it's not a vain shot."
Jiang Bai smiled: "You kid is quite ambitious, okay, that's it, is there anything else?" ”
"No, Brother Jiang, I'm just telling you about this."
"Okay, that's it for now, my signal on the train is not very good, I can hear it for a while, I can't hear it for a while, and I have to guess when I speak."
"Okay brother, then I won't bother you for now."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Bai began to punish Su Rou for being dishonest just now.
After taking the train for more than four hours, it was not Zhao Zhe who came to pick him up after arriving at the station this time, and after getting on the train, Jiang Bai found that it was Huang Bo who was driving.
"Brother Bo, why are you here today, Brother Zhao?"
"Lao Zhao, he's outside today, and he won't be able to come back for a while, so I'll come over."
"It's okay, how is Brother Bo doing?"
"It's not been much lately, Brother Zhao got me a few more supporting roles, but I'm waiting for Director Ning's new film now, he said that when he wrote it, he used me as the protagonist to write it."
Jiang Bai listened to Yile: "That's a good feeling, Brother Bo, I think you have the potential to be the protagonist, and you must be popular when the time comes." ”
"Haha, it's hard to say, just like me, where can the fire go? Now everyone likes to look good. ”
"That's not necessarily, those who like to look good are superficial people, and people who really have connotation look at the inside, and they are interesting souls."
"Isn't that what I am? I'm a soul thief, it's funny. ”
"Then you deserve to be on fire, Brother Bo."
Su Rou sat in the back row, and during the period, she spoke with them for a few words, and the rest of the time was very quiet.
She just watched Jiang Bai talk with people like this, and felt that Jiang Bai was also very handsome.
Huang Bo sent Jiang Bai directly to the house and then left, after arriving home, Jiang Bai first packed up his things, and Su Rou helped Jiang Bai take out all the clothes he had worn during this time and wash them off.
After that, I stayed here for a while and then went home.
Although she also wants to stay here a little longer, she has just come back, and she also has some things to deal with there, this time she will be out for a month, and the house she shares with her roommate will also need to go back and rent it to the other party.
Zhao Zhe came directly to Jiang Bai's house in the afternoon.
"Jiang Bai, during this time, I will give you all the next things you have done, first of all, the contract for a pair of embroidered shoes on Director Xu's side has been signed for you, the male number one has a salary of 500,000, and I didn't ask for much from Director Xu, so I gave a friendship price, and Director Xu also agreed happily, and then the contract on the Matrix side was also negotiated for you, the content is still the one mentioned before, when the time comes, you look at it, don't teach them the real thing.
In the morning, I went to talk to Yanjing TV again, and the conquest you sold them has been set to premiere at 0:00 in the evening on their TV station at the end of this month, which is really not a prime time, there is no way.
The rest is that you sign the contract of the Matrix, and then you have to do the visa yourself, and I will go with you when the time comes, but this matter is not so anxious, a pair of embroidered shoes was also taken in Yanjing, and it is good to take time to do it early in the middle. ”
Jiang Bai nodded: "It's hard Brother Zhao." ”
Although the conquest of this TV series did not pass the company and belonged to Jiang Bai's own investment, Zhao Zhe still helped him run away, and Jiang Bai also planned to give the other party some money as a hardship fee.
It's just that after saying this, Jiang Bai talked about Jiang Wen's side.
"Brother Zhao, there is one more matter, I want to discuss it with you."
"What's the matter? A good thing or a bad thing? ”
"It's good for the company, but not necessarily for you."
"What's the matter?"
"It's just that I went to shoot the hero of heaven and earth this time, isn't Jiang Wen also in the crew, and then I chatted with him, and after chatting, I found that he was quite interested in coming to our company."
Zhao Zhe couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this: "This is a great thing, what kind of person is Jiang Wen?" To be able to come to our company can be regarded as condescending, people are a proper big yard disciple, well-connected is not like talking, and he has taken several actors, to our company is to put gold on our company's signboard, what conditions does he have, if he can, even if he smashes the pot and sells iron, he has to get him over. ”
"Brother Zhao, it's not enough to smash the pot and sell iron, but the condition on his side is to take a part of the company's shares."
After that, Jiang Bai said the content of the previous drink and bet they had that day: "Brother Zhao, the condition is like this, you need to give 10% of the shares on your side, and 5% on my side." ”
Zhao Zhe's smile disappeared when he heard this.
Because he now accounts for 51% of the company's shares, Jiang Bai holds 49%, but once he takes out 10%, only 41% is left, and Jiang Bai takes out 5%, and there is still 44% left.
let Jiang Wen hold 15% again, so that he became the second shareholder of the company, and Jiang Bai became the boss.
Thinking of this, he sat down and began to ponder, letting Jiang Wen sign in to the company is indeed very beneficial to the company, and now the only people in the company who can make money are basically Jiang Bai and Ning Hao.
As a director, although Ning Hao is talented, he may not be able to make a movie in the future, so the most stable income point is Jiang Bai.
But even if he gave Jiang Bai shares before, it was just to keep Jiang Bai firmly in the company.
He wants to make money, he also wants to make his own movies, he also wants to make the company full of talents, and he wants Jiang Wen to sign in to the company, but in this way, he is bound to lose the dominance of the company.
And he felt that he also understood Jiang Bai's character, and knew that since Jiang Bai said this, it meant that Jiang Bai wanted to take the most shares of the company.
For a moment, Zhao Zhe felt that his mind was a little chaotic.
"Jiang Bai, is this matter urgent?"
"Don't worry, Brother Zhao."
"Then I'll go back and think about it."
"Okay, Brother Zhao." Jiang Bai nodded.
But after finishing speaking, Zhao Zhe asked again: "Jiang Bai, we have been working together for so long, and I have always treated you as a brother, so I don't want the two of us to have a quarrel over money in the end, so I will ask you directly if there are some words, that is, if Jiang Wen fails to sign in our company this time, will you leave when the contract expires in the future?" ”
Hearing this, Jiang Bai knew that Zhao Zhe really had no choice, according to the other party, he must have wanted to sign Jiang Wen again, and he wanted to take the lead in the company, but the other party's ambition and his own ambition conflicted, so there was bound to be someone who needed to make concessions.
If everyone does not budge, the result can only be a parting of ways.
"Brother Zhao, I know that you are very good to me, and you have helped me a lot over the years, but no matter what, I will definitely have to open my own company in the future, to be honest, although I also want Jiang Wen to sign in to our company, but compared to him, I still want to work with you more."
Jiang Bai's words were a little tactful, but Zhao Zhe still understood.
Because he is indeed a small temple here, with Jiang Bai's current value, even if he stands on his own after going out, he can live very well, and he can directly express his willingness to stay here.
In the remaining two years of the contract, he still has to put more resources on Jiang Bai, and Jiang Bai can also wait until the contract expires and directly choose not to renew the contract.
When Jiang Bai doesn't take these people away from the company, it will be regarded as saving face.
But Jiang Bai still chooses to confess to himself, which means that Jiang Bai still remembers his friendship.
Maybe Jiang Bai will continue to sign a contract with the company after the expiration of this five-year period, but it will not be five years at that time, it is estimated that it will be three years at most.
Working for another three years is also Jiang Bai's last reward for himself.
He didn't complain about Jiang Bai for doing this, if it was him, he would do the same.
Hundreds of actors graduate from major film and television drama academies across the country every year, and tens of thousands of group performances are performed every year in Hengdian, Beiying and major film and television bases.
And among the people, there are countless talented actors to be discovered, but no matter how many people there are, Jiang Bai is only one.
"I'll go back and think about it."
Finally, Zhao Zhe said.
"Okay Brother Zhao, don't be too psychologically burdened, even if I really want to leave in the future, I will definitely bring you a few more people who can fight, just like you just said, I don't want the two of us to break up because of this kind of thing, no matter what happens in the future, I hope the two of us are good buddies and good brothers."
"Hmm." Zhao Zhe nodded heavily, and then left.
In fact, Jiang Bai is indeed very grateful to Zhao Zhe, and he has already treated the other party as a brother.
But even if Jiang Bai treats Zhao Zhe as a brother, he can't be under the other party's hands for the rest of his life.
In the next few days, there was no reply from Zhao Zhe's side, and even if everyone met, no one tacitly mentioned this matter.
Before officially signing the contract, Jiang Bai also personally communicated with the crew of the Matrix and put forward several requirements.
That is, there can be no insulting content in the play, all relevant scripts must be changed, and he must wear Tang costumes in the play, otherwise he has the right to refuse to act.
"No problem, we can accept these, and you can get a part of our shares after starring, and as long as the Matrix still has income in the future, then you can get dividends."
"Yes." Jiang Bai said.
"There are also the remaining important terms, we also need to confirm with Mr. Jiang, that is, the live shooting on our side is three months, and the remaining six months you need to put on motion capture equipment and play out your Chinese martial arts."
"I can also accept this, but what I also need to tell you here is that we have a lot of martial arts in China, and I can't show them all to you, I have also sorted it out during this time, and when the time comes, I can show you eighteen sets of martial arts, and the average is three sets a month, how about it?"
"Mr. Jiang, eighteen sets is too little, as far as we know, there are more than 100 kinds of Chinese kung fu, and we paid you millions of dollars, plus the follow-up dividends, far more than the value of eighteen sets of Chinese kung fu, so we prefer that you can show more, such as at least fifty sets."
"Sir, you are embarrassing me, you must know that even if we learn martial arts, most of us can only master one or two in their lifetimes, because each set of martial arts may derive hundreds of moves, you let me show a set in about three days on average, it is too difficult for you to show me a set on average, unless I don't eat, don't drink water, don't sleep, twenty-four sets is my limit, because the kung fu I pursue is perfect, not skilled, just be able to fight."
"Can there be more?"
"It's too much, or you can ask Yuan Heping here, can you use this money to pass on so many things to you."
"Okay, then twenty-four, I'll send another supplementary contract later, I'm looking forward to our cooperation this time."
"I'm also looking forward to it, and I hope to have a good time working with you then."
Don't rush, don't rush, it's really not the author's own brush, I have to pay 10,000 in my pocket, and it's really a bestseller before this book is not worthy, because the author himself thinks so, the editor also asked about the situation, big guy, you don't want to come out and say something
