Chapter five hundred and thirty fifth a bit despicable
Less than a few minutes after Tang An returned to the office, Xu Zheng hurriedly walked in and told Tang An about bad news.
"Hypnosis Master" has been filmed and is in the late stage. "Hong Kong Lost" is already looking for an outdoor scene, and the actors should also make sure.
This time, the heroine Xu Zheng still found Zhao Wei, the second male lead Wang Baoqiang.
The second female lead Tang Yan happened to have finished filming the second part of "Ghost Blows Out the Light". The heroine's brother-in-law found Wang Xun, and there were several other actors from Xiangjiang.
All of them are called "Hong Kong Empress", and there are not many actors in Xiangjiang.
In fact, I originally looked for Wang Xun at the beginning, but Wang Xun didn’t have a schedule at that time, so I recommended his good friend Huang Bo.
The actors were all together, and most of them were agreed upon. When it came to Zhao Wei and Wang Baoqiang, they both wanted to participate in the investment.
After listening to Xu Zheng’s talk about the contact with them, Tang An frowned, “Does he have to participate in the investment?”
"That's right, and the willingness is very strong. Although I haven't said I'm dead yet, it seems that I have to invest."
Xu Zheng was not in a high mood. He turned around now by pointing at this movie. Unexpectedly, someone wanted to divide a piece of cake.
In addition to the director's share, his studio only has 30% of the investment share, and Tang An accounts for the majority of the studio.
If he had been busy for more than half a year and the money was finally earned by the two of them, Xu Zheng would definitely not want to.
Besides, he and Han Tang signed contracts, and the investment ratio was written in the contract. Even if he had to give up a few points for them, who would give them?
Tang An was not very strange. The original "Hong Kong Empress" had Zhao Wei's investment, and Wang Baoqiang was also refused to take over "Detective Chinatown" because he asked to participate in the investment.
Wang Baoqiang has made investments in "Detective Chinatown".
It is normal for big-name stars to bring funds into the group, but you can't even think about sharing the box office.
Cheng Long and Li Lianjie have never received box office share in the mainland, and they all earn money to invest.
Actors are not as strong as directors in this regard. Big directors can get box office dividends, but big stars can't get them.
Tang An thought for a while and said, "Is there no other candidate except them?"
"There are definitely some, but they are the most suitable candidates regardless of their image or popularity."
Xu Zheng sighed and continued, "The heroine Cai Bo is a middle-aged woman. First of all, she cannot be beautiful. How many female stars who can stand out are not beautiful, let alone have high popularity and appeal."
"Cai Lala is completely based on the character set by Wang Baoqiang. Regardless of the lines or images, they are tailor-made for him."
That's true. Although not all the celebrities in the entertainment industry are top beauties, they can at least be considered pretty. If they don't have enough appearance and figure, they can't even get into the film and television academy.
Of course, it is almost possible to find a female star in her thirties and forties to let him play on camera without makeup.
But if someone agrees, there will be a ghost.
It’s okay to wear makeup and make you ugly, but if you don’t look camera-free, few people will agree.
If you deliberately pretend to be ugly, fans know it is fake, so there is no problem.
But if the audience and fans see their bare face, they may lose their fans...
Besides, the character of Cai Lala is easily disgusting if you just read the script.
Including the role of Wang Baoqiang in "Lost in Thailand" and "Lost in Thailand", I put myself in my shoes. If you were Xu Lang and Li Chenggong, with their situation at that time, wouldn't you hate such a person around you?
That is, Wang Baoqiang has so many honest and classic characters in the past, and has a good audience connection, so that the audience will not be annoying.
Tang An thought for a while and passed the post-70s actresses in his mind, suggesting, "Only one can be left, I will give up 4% of the investment share, Wang Baoqiang will keep it, and Zhao Wei will be replaced by Qin Hairu and Yuan Quan, what do you think?"
Qin Hairu is nicknamed "the ugliest actress in history". Although she is not ugly, she is not very beautiful and her acting skills are enough.
Yuan Quan has a good temperament, but in terms of appearance, she is really not very beautiful, so it is okay to play such a role.
If you really want to change it, it is undoubtedly the most appropriate to replace Zhao Wei. After the movie was screened, I was scolded a lot.
Tang An gave up 4% of the investment share, so Xu Zheng was of course happy to see it.
Not to mention that he gave 4% or not, it doesn't matter if he made 40%, as long as Xu Zheng himself had a lot of it.
But I can only change one, Xu Zheng thought for a while and said, "Dr. Tang, if I can only keep one, I still want to keep Zhao Wei. Her husband Huang Long and Ma of Ali have a good relationship. He promised that he would do his best to get the resources of Ali for the promotion of the movie."
Then Xu Zheng whispered, "It is said that Huang Long has the background of the Tomorrow Department, and more than ten banks and insurance kilometers that he holds can provide loans to the movie."
Tomorrow's...
There seems to be a saying that Huang Long is a white glove from Tomorrow.
Anyway, with all kinds of speculations, Ah Li later took down the shell of Cultural China from Dong Ping, which was the shell of Cultural China bought by Dong Ping.
Dongping's Peking University Huayi was established in a joint venture with Peking University Culture, a subsidiary of Tomorrow Group. After borrowing the shell of Shanglian Cement, it changed its name to Culture China and then listed it, and then it entrusted the shares of Peking University Culture into the listed company Culture China.
Almost exactly, Tomorrow Group put Peking University culture in the media industry into Peking University culture and sold it to Ma Yun.
After Ma Yun took over Culture China, his stock price soared.
Culture China had a market value of HK$5 billion at that time. Ma Yun spent more than 6 billion to buy 60% of the shares, and the stock price was twice the market value.
After the acquisition was completed, the market value became more than 36 billion yuan, and Huang Long bought nearly 10% of the shares for more than 3 billion yuan.
If Huang Long is really from the Tomorrow Division, 6 billion yuan will be the same as the Tomorrow Division and Ali played a trick, but the money was not paid, and the value of the shares in his hand increased several times.
They are all games of capital.
Of course, I don’t know whether it is true or not, so I’m afraid I’ll ask themselves.
Although Tomorrow Group has invested in more than a dozen banks and insurance companies, Tang An is not short of loans at all.
As long as it is his movie, the four major banks will not refuse, and the interest rate is also the lowest.
Compared to Zhao Wei, Tang An still hopes to leave Wang Baoqiang, so it doesn’t matter if he gives three or four points of investment share.
In terms of importance, Zhao Wei is far from comparable to Wang Baoqiang in this movie.
He advised, "I still think it's more appropriate to leave Wang Baoyun."
Xu Zheng insisted, "Dong Tang, I can find a suitable candidate for Wang Baoqiang, but Qin Hairu is still somewhat different from Yuan Quan and Zhao Wei."
Tang An felt a little strange in his heart, and did not answer, so he looked at him.
The combination of Xu Zheng + Wang Baoyun has already had a successful precedent, and at this time, he actually gave up Wang Baoyun in order to keep Zhao Wei.
Xu Zheng felt a little guilty when he saw him, and lowered his head slightly, holding the teacup and took a sip.
"Okay, you are the director, and I won't interfere with the actor. You can only give one investment share, at most four points, you can decide." Tang An thought for a while and nodded.
It is acceptable to have three or four points out of one piece, but it is not impossible for two people to have seven or eight points, but for the next one, should there be twenty or thirty points?
Xu Zheng hurriedly said, "Then Dong Tang, I'll find a suitable actor now and ensure that it meets the role and will not be worse than Wang Baoqiang."
After leaving Tang An's office, Xu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, his thoughts arose again.
If you give up Wang Baoqiang, then this series will become his own, no longer a partner movie.
As for whether it can be successful, he no longer doubts that he has been able to break one billion with the title of "Lost in Thailand".
As long as the shots are not bad, one billion is at least.
Moreover, it was decided by Tang An, and it had nothing to do with him.
......
In the office, Tang An probably understood Xu Zheng’s thoughts after a while.
He smiled and shook his head. No matter who Xu Zhengyan did not care about him, even if he was still Bao Baier in the end, he would not lose much.
"Hong Kong Empress" faces "Journey to the West to Suppress the Demons". Even if it uses Wang Baoyun, with the current market capacity, the two movies combined for the box office of 2.23 billion in the Spring Festival period.
Even if you lose, with the popularity of this series, one billion is still stable.
The next Tangan can lower the price.
It seems a bit despicable.
However, Xu Zheng himself had no choice but to persevere. Tang An had promised not to interfere in casting before, so he could not go back on his word.
You have to count what you say.
If every movie or TV series in the company is used in the wrong actors, Tang An interferes and replaces the person, then the directors will definitely feel unhappy.
Fortunately, it was a little bit too often, but every time it interfered, and those who were capable had already run away.
Wang Zhongjun could not interfere with Feng Dapao's role in the movie. The box office was high and each department sold it, making so much money for Huayi.
Unless Feng Dapao fails and is a big pounce, he will not have the confidence to refuse Wang Zhongjun's placement of actors.
Chapter completed!
