After returning from Li Xuejian's place, Cao Xuan did not immediately see Lao Mouzi, who was still filming "The Thirteen Beauties of Jinling" in Jinling.

It is not convenient for Cao Xuan to go there, otherwise Boss Zhang will be in trouble immediately in the new scene.

But thanks to the advanced communication technology, I can’t meet in person, but I have a lot of fun talking on the phone.

The treatment Cao Xuan gave to Lao Zhang was definitely top-notch in the industry, with basically everything except Fanxing's shares.

In addition to the directing fees and dividends from Lao Zhang's works, Cao Xuan also agreed to the latter's permission to open a film and television company in the name of his wife or family members. At that time, this company would have priority in investing in Fanxing's works.

With Fanxing's current brand, I dare not say that all film and television projects are guaranteed to make money, but nine out of ten of them will make money.

There are some projects that Fanxing works on its own and produces independently, but they are basically small and medium-cost investments or extremely promising projects.

Many large-scale productions with large investments are often unsure of their prospects, so Fanxing only assumes the main control role and then uses part of its investment share to share risks.

Often these shares, except for a few well-established China Film and Television Group companies, are firmly entrenched, and the rest will be snapped up by private companies and retail investors when taken outside.

Now giving Lao Mouzi a priority share of investment is, to put it bluntly, giving him the opportunity to make money with Fanxing.

Mom and dad are not as close as money. The entertainment industry is a vanity fair. If you want people to obey and work hard, you have to feed them. Cao Xuan is a generous boss, and he is naturally willing to make huge profits at critical moments.

Investment share is just one of the benefits of Fanxing. If it can bring huge profits to Fanxing, Boss Cao will be willing to spend money.

Just do what Huayi did, make a small bet, and then spend hundreds of millions of real money to acquire or inject capital into the company.

Of course, Fanxing is not listed on the market, and all it costs is Boss Cao's money, not cutting someone else's leeks...

Currently, within Fanxing, we can count on one hand the number of people who have received preferential treatment for participating in Fanxing projects, and all of them are the pillars of Fanxing’s facade.

Cao Xuan gave Lao Mouzi this treatment as soon as he came up, which shows how much he valued him.

Lao Mouzi was also very happy.

Look, this is what it's like to be a boss. In the new picture, Boss Zhang has sex with his elder brother every day, but it's always him who eats the meat and lets Lao Mouzi drink the soup.

Not only did Boss Cao have enough soup, but he was also willing to share the meat with him. This alone moved the hearts of Lao Mouzi and even his family and friends to the stars.

In particular, Lao Mouzi's daughter-in-law Chen Ting has completely sided with Cao Xuan.

If Lao Mouzi still has some old feelings for Boss Zhang, then Chen Ting has annoyed him enough.

Rumor has it that Boss Zhang regarded Lao Mouzi as a cash cow, so he was very strict with him. At one time, he even had to control Lao Mouzi's love life.

It seems that this person was responsible for the breakup of "Zhang Gonglian" back then. When Gong Li participated in "The Golden Armor", she chatted and laughed with Lao Mouzi freely, but she never wanted to see Boss Zhang.

Later, Chen and Lao Mouzi fell in love, and Boss Zhang kept pushing her. He felt that Chen was up to no good. The couple had several children. He also regarded her as a nanny, and was suspected of preventing the two from obtaining a marriage certificate.

Therefore, Chen Ting has been extremely dissatisfied with Boss Zhang for a long time. There was a quarrel between the original time and space, and Chen even publicly attacked Boss Zhang.

He claimed that after so many years of cooperation between the two, Boss Zhang only allocated 12 million to Lao Mouzi, and that he wanted to use the "child matter" as an excuse to defraud Lao Mouzi.

Of course, since both parties hold different opinions on this matter, it is difficult to tell whether it is true or false.

But Chen Ting definitely doesn’t like Boss Zhang. It’s hard to say whether Lao Mouzi’s change of job was due to the pillow wind behind him.

But Chen Ting was indeed very active in this matter. I heard that Cao Xuan was worried about Boss Zhang causing trouble and even taking over everything.

"It's not convenient for Mr. Cao to get involved in this matter, and it's not easy for our family Yimou to come forward. It's better for me to do it. We have been worthy of Zhang Weiping over the years. On the contrary, he doesn't regard us as human beings. If he makes trouble, we will accompany him."

Let’s see who ignores it.”

Chen Ting was very confident, because Boss Zhang could not be said to be treating Lao Mouzi favorably, and if things really went wrong, public opinion would not suffer.

Moreover, when the two sides started to argue, Lao Mouzi, the person involved, ended up arguing, and his words were easily picked up, and if it caused a bad impact, his career would be delayed.

But Chen Ting is different. A wife who fights for her husband can speak more freely and gain sympathy points easily. Even if someone catches her, she will admit her mistake and shut up.

After all, she is just an ordinary housewife, and no one can do anything to her.

"Director Zhang, my sister-in-law is a good wife."

Cao Xuan admired her very much. She was indeed the woman who took down Lao Mouzi. She was indeed a bit extraordinary.

Of course, it is also possible that the two of them had discussed it in private, but in any case, Chen Ting was able to express her position like this, which shows that Lao Mouzi is indeed convinced of the heartbeat trough Fanxing.

"Sister-in-law is interested, but she's not in such an extreme situation. Let's have a good chat with Boss Zhang later. We can make money by being harmonious, and it's best not to break up if we can."

Cao Xuan actually wanted to go back and give a share of Lao Mouzi's cake to Boss Zhang, but he could not interfere with Lao Mouzi's project and only invested money to share the dividends.

If Boss Zhang agrees, everyone will be happy and make a fortune together.

"It's difficult."

Lao Mouzi shook his head. He had worked with his boss Zhang for more than ten years and knew his character best.

Cao Xuan thought that he was trying to make money by being friendly and leaving a dignity for his old employer. However, others would not consider that it was Lao Mouzi who took the initiative to change jobs. He felt that Cao Xuan had pulled out his money tree and then given away some of his bones. How could he agree?

"Let's talk. If he doesn't agree, let's talk."

Of course Cao Xuan knew that this move was unreliable, but Fanxing's sincerity and attitude had to be shown, and Boss Zhang not buying it was another matter.

And from a selfish point of view, Cao Xuan really doesn't want to cause too much trouble. If Boss Zhang can think about it, he is really willing to cut a piece of cake for him.

The key to this matter is Lao Mouzi's attitude. He is determined to leave. Everything else is just trivial matters, nothing more than a disturbance.

However, Cao Xuan still reminded Lao Mouzi specifically: "I heard that Director Zhang and his sister-in-law did not get the certificate. Don't think that I am too lenient. If you are determined to get the certificate, the child's matter will be troublesome."

Right now, the two of them are unmarried, so it's okay to have as many children as they want, but once they get married, regardless of the two- and three-child policy in later generations, it's illegal right now.

Cao Xuan's meaning is very simple. Fanxing signed a contract with Lao Mouzi, and if he wants to sign a clean Lao Mouzi, he must deal with the unexploded minefields on his body.

In addition to the children's problems, Cao Xuan also suggested that he look into tax issues, which are the easiest to make a fuss about.

But the main reason was to prevent Boss Zhang from counterattacking. Cao Xuan was not afraid, but Boss Zhang knew a lot about Lao Mouzi.

This matter is actually very simple, either you pay the fine honestly or you don't get married.

There is no need to think about the trust relationship. With the threat of Boss Zhang, if you think about it, you have to take the clear path.

Cao Xuan only reminded them and did not suggest which one they should choose. It was up to the couple to make a decision. Cao Xuan would be wrong to say more.

Not getting married is definitely not possible. Chen Ting may not agree, and it is actually risky to expose it. The outside world may think that they are not getting married just to avoid fines.

But if Cao Xuan proposes to pay a fine, if the policy is changed a few years later, hundreds of millions will be wasted, and people will hate Cao Xuan to death.

Therefore, this matter can only be decided by Lao Mouzi and Cao Xuan. Cao Xuan just left a final message that you can come to him for any difficulties, especially financial aspects.

It can also be seen from the last sentence that Cao Xuan is determined to pay the fine. The original Shikong Lao Mouzi paid more than 7 million, but now the fine is at most tens of millions.

Although it is a large amount of money, if Lao Mouzi will follow Boss Cao from now on, will he still have to worry about making money? Just treat it as spending money to buy peace...

Lao Mouzi was very decisive this time and it only took him two days to make up his mind.

He called Cao Xuan and asked Cao Xuan for two things.

The first thing is to borrow some money from Cao Xuan. He doesn't have much cash on hand and is afraid that he won't be able to plug the hole.

The second thing is to ask Cao Xuanpai’s professional team to help him check his accounts to prevent loopholes in tax issues.

Cao Xuan sent his personal financial team over without saying a word, and then asked Fanxing to give Lao Mouzi 10 million.

This money does not need to be repaid by Lao Mouzi. It is directly regarded as the director's fee for the first film signed by Lao Mouzi. Dividends will be calculated separately.

In fact, many times when such artists and directors change jobs, the new owner has to pay a signing fee, but Fanxing didn't have such a rule before. If it were given to Lao Mouzi, it would easily cause dissatisfaction among others.

Therefore, Cao Xuan plans to make compensation in other ways, but the signing fee will not be paid.

The two parties have negotiated this point, and Lao Mouzi has no objections. Instead of directly charging a sky-high signing fee, he would prefer to have a long-term cooperation with Fanxing.

You know, Lao Mouzi's efficiency is very high, with an average of one movie a year. If the performance is good, the director's fee + director's dividend will be extremely considerable.

What is even more profitable is that you can give priority to investing in Fanxing Film and Television projects. If you are not particularly unlucky and the operation is successful, it is not difficult to make tens of millions a year.

Cao Xuan's 10 million was transferred to his account, which was in stark contrast to Boss Zhang. It was the straw that broke the camel's back.

Without saying a word, Lao Mouzi directly asked his lawyer to contact Fanxing to prepare a draft contract.

Due to the discord in the past two years, Lao Mouzi has retained a hand and has formed a cooperative relationship with New Picture instead of being a subordinate. It is easy to escape and there is no contractual fetters.

However, Cao Xuan originally planned to boil the frog in warm water and deal with the matter slowly.

But whether Lao Mouzi is really fed up with Boss Zhang or he wants to show his loyalty to Fanxing, he hopes to sign the contract with Fanxing directly after getting rid of all the dirty tricks.

As for "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", according to the normal cooperation process, he will come forward when it is time to come forward.

This is also understandable. Regardless of whether Lao Mouzi succeeds or not, Cao Xuan will not lose anything, so he naturally considers the plan to be slow and low-key.

But the person involved, Lao Mouzi, didn't have such a good attitude. If he blew the whistle, he would be passive, so he hoped to cut off the mess quickly, lest things change later.

Comparing his feelings with his own, Cao Xuan also understood Lao Mouzi's mentality.

So the two parties agreed that after Lao Mouzi settled his own affairs, and then finished filming "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", they would have a formal showdown, and then sign the contract.

………

Cao Xuan was very happy after finishing Lao Mouzi, and had a drink with his father in the evening.

This is the top guide in the industry, and he has the reputation of being a "National Master". If he joins Fan Xingxing, he will be even more powerful to Fan Xing, and his prestige will be even higher.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Fanxing were a listed company and announced that Lao Mouzi would join the company, the stock price would at least increase by several percent.

The Empress of the East Palace is also very happy. She is not very clear about Lao Mouzi. She is happy for Damimi.

On September 21, the 25th Golden Eagle Festival concluded in Xingcheng, Hunan Province.
