Chapter 436 Cast

Only the blue platform and cool related personnel were left in the conference room.

Lu Yiming was obviously angry, and he shouted: "What are you doing? Don't you have any spirit of contract? Why should the promised contract change?"

Zhang Yihe said: "I didn't pay attention to this at the time. He did have a hand in the contract, but he proposed such a big adjustment that I didn't expect."

Lu Yiming said: "This is the first quarter that I made money. What if I lose money? Will he propose additional investment?"

Xu Mingfeng sighed in his heart that "The Voice of China" has now become a phenomenal variety show. Those who want to invest and sponsorship are queued up. The money-making effect has been formed and they will not take any risks at all.

Although Zhang Hehuan's adjustment proposed by him was under the guise of additional investment, he actually wanted to spend more money.

Xu Mingfeng realized that the directors of Youku would not agree to such a change. The plan of Xinxingyuan is equivalent to compressing the profits of Lantai and Youku by 10% each. However, Xu Mingfeng's reaction was not as excited as Lantai. He took the initiative to ask Zhang Hehuan to talk to him to see what the other party's bottom line was.

Zhang Hehuan expected Xu Mingfeng to talk to him soon in the morning, and the two met in the hotel that afternoon...

Xu Mingfeng said earnestly: "Mr. Zhang, our cooperation last year was so pleasant, there is no need to break this balance."

Zhang Hehuan said: "In the first season of the Voice of China, the reason why I didn't invest was not that I didn't want to invest, but because I had no money to invest. Now that I have funds, you don't let me invest."

"Mr. Zhang, "The Voice of China" is jointly invested by Blue Channel and Youku. You provide creative and variety show designs, we provide platform and promotion. At that time, I finally won the dividends of 10%." Although I acknowledged Zhang Hehuan's talent, Xu Mingfeng believed that Zhang Hehuan did not take risks in the first season.

Zhang Hehuan said: "So, I plan to invest with you in the second season. I will invest as much as you invest in the new star field. Isn't my idea too much?"

Xu Mingfeng thought to himself, not just too much, but too much. He sighed, "We are not only collaborators, but also friends. Let me tell you the truth. We cannot accept the ratio you requested. Let me give you a briefing, what is the lower limit?"

Zhang Hehuan laughed and said, "That's it, both of you invest 35%, and the remaining 30% will be invested by me, and the dividends will be based on this proportion."

Xu Mingfeng shook his head and said, "I guess it's hard for me to convince them."

Zhang Hehuan said: "That's it, I'll give up on investment and will still charge the part I deserve every year in the future. "The Voice of China" will be operated by you for the next four seasons, and I will not interfere in your production."

Xu Mingfeng understood that Zhang Hehuan was not planning to contribute. In fact, for a successful program, if it continues to operate according to the current model, there should be no problem in the short term.

Xu Mingfeng said: "After all, we did this show together. Are you planning to let it go?" He was full of expectations for Zhang Hehuan's endless creativity, and he still hoped that he would come up with new tricks in the second season.

Zhang Hehuan said: "It's not that you don't care, but you don't want me to intervene too much. If my profits cannot increase, I don't need to invest too much experience in this show. As long as you don't make any major mistakes in production, this show will definitely make money, and it's reasonable for me to collect 10%."

Xu Mingfeng said: "In this way, I will try my best to help you fight for it to see if it can improve the share ratio of the new star field." He understood very well that Zhang Hehuan is the soul of "The Voice of China". If Zhang Hehuan became the boss of the hand-off, it would be hard to say that this show can maintain a sustainable and stable development. What makes him even more worried is, what will be said about the copyright after five seasons?

Zhang Hehuan saw through Xu Mingfeng's thoughts and smiled and said, "Brother Feng, if it's really hard to do, then forget it. It's just executed according to the original agreed contract."

Xu Mingfeng really wanted to continue to cooperate with Zhang Hehuan from the bottom of his heart. In his heart, Xinxingyuan is a good partner, but this is not the case in Zhang Hehuan's heart. During the cooperation between China's Good Voice, Zhang Hehuan found that Lantai and Youku still lack some pattern.

After breaking up with Xu Mingfeng, Zhang Hehuan embarked on his return journey to Nanjiang, and this time he took a business car with Mu Xichun.

Mu Xichun asked about the result of his meeting with Xu Mingfeng.

Zhang Hehuan laughed and said, "He must protect the cool interests. Now everyone knows that the Good Voice makes money, and no one wants to share their own interests."

Mu Xichun said: "Thirty percent of them will not accept it?"

Zhang Hehuan said: "It is impossible to accept that if the income has been determined, it is not that easy to increase the share ratio."

Mu Xichun said: "Will they give in?"

Zhang Hehuan shook his head and said, "I won't want to make concessions if I can't achieve the ideal. If I guess correctly, they will make some concessions. Being able to accept our investment will not exceed 15%, and other conditions will be attached."

Mu Xichun said: "Mr. Zhang, are you not optimistic about cooperation with them?"

Zhang Hehuan smiled and said, "For a successful variety show, we don't need to devote too much energy to it. According to the original contract, we will collect 10% of the dividends every year, which is good. Of course, it would be better if they are willing to give in and be willing to give up some benefits."

Mu Xichun realized at this time that Zhang Hehuan's real purpose was not to increase the share to 30%. He used this incident to test Lantai and Youku's sincerity. From the situation at the meeting, it can be seen that Lantai and Youku are not Zhang Hehuan's favorite partners.

Zhang Hehuan also talked with Mu Xichun in the past. Compared to Lantai, he prefers to Tomato's style of doing things. After today's things, it is likely that the New Star Domain and Tomato will get closer and closer.

Zhang Hehuan's style of doing things is decisive and he quickly completed the script of "Old Cannon" and sent the script to Brother Long and Xue Chunhua.

As he initially estimated, Xue Chunhua's purpose of investing in movies was to support Ling Tiantian as the leader. After reading the script, there was no news.

Brother Long also read the script and gave a reply. It can be seen that Brother Long is not very interested in the script, which is what Zhang Hehuan expected. Brother Long became famous in Xiangjiang and has accepted Hong Kong circle culture since he was a child. He lacked understanding of Beijing-style culture. Although Lao Paoer's story is good, the Jianghu in Brother Long's mind and the Jianghu in the capital are completely different things. It is difficult for him to understand the love, hate, and hatred of the stubborn rulers in the Sijiu City.

Zhang Hehuan did not propose to ask Brother Long to help contact Jiang Wen. He planned to invest in this video by Xinxingyuan himself.

Zhang Hehuan also gave the book to Zhang Yimou, and Jiang Wen made it famous by Zhang Yimou, and the two have worked together many times.

Zhang Yimou contacted him late at night on the same day he received the script.

"Xiao Zhang, have you fallen asleep?"

Zhang Hehuan looked at it was already 11:30 in the evening. He smiled and said, "No, Director Zhang hasn't gone to bed so early?"

Zhang Yimou said: "I have read this book of you, it's great!"

Zhang Hehuan said: "I plan to invest in this movie. Director Zhang, you know a lot of people. Can you recommend a suitable director and actor for me?"

"Xiao Zhang, how about you doing this book for me?"

Zhang Hehuan was stunned for a moment. The reason why he had not considered Director Zhang was that Director Zhang was now in-depth and bound to Huanshi. He thought Director Zhang would not have a schedule to make this movie.

Director Zhang said: "I like this script very much. If you agree, I can talk to Huanshi and strive to ensure your best interests."

Zhang Hehuan said: "Aren't you preparing to film "Return"? Do you have a schedule?"

Director Zhang said: "The preparations for the return are not so smooth. They may start at the end of the year and will be released in 2014 at the earliest. I have read several books recently but are not satisfied with them. I will like your script at a glance. If you agree, I will coordinate other aspects and I can solve the investment."

Zhang Hehuan laughed and said, "Director Zhang, the overall investment in this movie is not large. Xinxingyuan can bear it, but I can leave 50% of the investment space." No matter what industry you are in, you can't be too thirsty. Money cannot be made by you alone. If Xinxingyuan refuses to invest in foreign countries, then he is very likely to face a situation of being surrounded by enemies.

If Director Zhang can direct "Old Cannon", then the movie will gain a lot of attention before it is released. However, Director Zhang has a deep cooperative relationship with Huanshi. If Huanshi cannot see the benefits, it will definitely create obstacles."

Director Zhang said: "Okay! There will be basically no big problem with this matter. By the way, do you have the candidate you want?"

Zhang Hehuan said: "Yes, you have read the script. Are there anyone who chooses it?"

Director Zhang said: "There are many good actors of this age, but there are not many people who are suitable for the role of Liu Ye. If the funds are sufficient, Jiang Wen is a good choice."

Zhang Hehuan laughed in his heart. Investment is definitely enough. Although Jiang Wen is not easy to control, who will score? If Zhang Yimou's directing comes true, he will definitely cooperate, but the pay will definitely not be small.

"If you want to reduce costs, Jiang Wu and Li Chengru are also good choices."

Zhang Hehuan said: "Director Zhang, I'll send you a list of actors in my heart."

The ideal lineup given by Zhang Hehuan is that Liu Ye (Zhang Xuejun) - Jiang Wen, chatter - Xu Qing, Mon Saner - Zhang Hanyu, Lanternshade - Liu Hua, Zhang Xiaobo - Jiang Yishan, as for the villain Xiaofei, he left it to himself.

Zhang Yimou suggested that the conversation be left to Gong Li to play. Gong Li is more competent in acting. After so many years, Jiang Wen and Gong Li collaborated again is extremely explosive entertainment news. As for Uncle Gong, played by Yu Hewei in the past, Zhang Yimou suggested that Cheng Daoming make a guest appearance.
