Chapter 336 He Has Been Promoted to Half a Capitalist
Just when the atmosphere dropped to freezing point, no one expected that Wu Hu looked at the director and said with a smile: "What did the director think of my acting skills just now?
"..."
This sudden big turn almost hit the backs of everyone present. They wanted to scold but were embarrassed to scold them. After all, they were really overwhelmed by the momentum displayed by Wu Hu just now. That scene was a complete disagreement.
To the extent that it is possible to draw a knife.
Don't scold me! I feel a little unhappy. These senior executives are usually aloof and arrogant. How could they have been frightened by a little Karami?
You really have to scold me! Isn’t this fat tiger really just using the topic as an excuse? Is he really just showing off his acting skills? What if he really turns his back?
Thinking of the consequences of falling out, they could only shut up and look at Lao Wan.
One by one, they could only take out their cigarettes and blow out the smoke, making the conference room filled with smoke. Wu Hu also took the opportunity to take out a cigarette from the cigarette case in front of Lao Li and lit it.
Let’s all hurt each other together!
Lao Li was stunned for a moment, looked at each other and applauded Wu Hu. "It's really amazing!
Because just now, they thought that the tense atmosphere was real, and that Wu Hu was retaliating against the rudeness of the production executive.
They couldn't tell whether it was true or false. But they couldn't refute Wu Hu's insistence that he was acting. They could only say that if his acting skills were real, he would be really great.
A young man who is clearly only twenty-three years old, and who was still an amateur before, participated in a variety show, and actually managed to develop such momentum.
You say he is arrogant and fearless like an ignorant person, or he is arrogant and domineering with confidence. In short, the momentum that this young man showed just now is definitely rare for his age group. That fierce and self-confident anger
From the look in his eyes, it's hard to tell that he's not acting in his true colors.
So, someone made a probing question, "It turns out it was a performance! Then the casting issue for this drama..."
As a result, Wu Hu, who was still smiling at first, instantly stopped his smile. "Although the expressions are acted, some of the words I said are not fake. The leading role can only be mine. Other characters must also fit the character's settings."
.I would like to emphasize again that Starry Sky Film and Television is not my only partner. I am the initiator of the project. Don’t try to override me.”
One sentence made these executives feel more angry.
In fact, we can't blame these executives for being narrow-minded. The main reason is that Wu Hu, a young man, really doesn't know how to respect the elderly. Although he is not old, his tone is not small, and he completely ignores them and puts them down.
It would be intolerable to anyone. What’s more, they are the ones who have the power of life and death over many actors participating in a play.
If your power is deprived and you are not respected, anyone who lets you go will be angry.
Even though Lao Wan looked calm and composed, he was actually angry. Firstly, he was angry that Wu Hu, a young man who didn't have martial ethics, gave these old comrades a piece of cake. Secondly, he was also angry that his subordinates were incompetent.
I was shocked by a young man.
But he can't be angry, otherwise Wu Hu will turn around and cooperate with other companies, and they will lose. I believe the Wang brothers must really want to cooperate with Wu Hu.
Even if there are no Wang brothers, there are other film companies, Bona, Guangxian, Wanda, etc. What's more, there is a big brother waiting there!
The Eagle Emperor Group behind Big Brother Cheng has been extending its tentacles northward in recent years, and Xiangjiang Capital has also continued to penetrate northward. This will undoubtedly become another opportunity for them. Of course, he has no hostility towards Xiangjiang Capital, but he believes that Wu Hu can
Just find new collaborators.
Thinking about it this way, Lao Wan realized that their previous ideas were somewhat wrong. Wu Hu could not be positioned as a simple actor. This guy was different from other actors. He had become a half-capitalist. Although his capital was still
Too small.
After having this change of mind, Lao Wan started to have a laugh and praised Wu Hu for his young talent. It was also a reminder to everyone that this young man has already opened a company and started investing in his own drama. No matter how successful this drama will be in the future
No, because before that, he was just an investor, so he couldn't be viewed the same way he was an actor.
The other people are also good people, but not good people. It is difficult for them to hold down the senior management position of a department for a long time. They soon heard the implication of Lao Wan's words.
As a result, the atmosphere finally became harmonious with one party deliberately catering to the other.
In this harmonious atmosphere, they finalized some things.
The initial budget for this drama was 80 million, and the background setting was changed to Kimchi Country. Kimchi Country Film and Television Company was also invited to cooperate, leaving an investment gap of 20 million for them.
The remaining 60 million, 20 million from Star Film and Television, 30 million from New World Media, and the remaining 10 million are left to the eldest brother Cheng. If he doesn't want it, they can take over again.
The preparation work of the film is handed over to Star Film and Television, and New World Media can arrange personnel to come in to supervise. Wu Hu has veto power in deciding the director and actors.
In other words, others can put forward opinions, and the final decision rests with Wu Hu.
Although it seems a bit childish to hand over an 80-million-dollar project to a young person to take final control, what is even more unreasonable is that they have no room for resistance.
Because this is the basis of project cooperation, if Wu Hu does not agree, he will change the partner.
Anyway, agree first and discuss it later. If this guy is really incompetent, then find a way to remove him from the crew step by step. Therefore, the choice of director is very critical, it must be them
People from Starry Sky Film and Television.
Star Film and Television proposed that Director Lou be the one to shoot it, but Wu Hu had some doubts because it was a commercial film, and mainland directors were really not reassuring in the field of commercial films.
Mainland directors, especially some veteran directors, like to make some metaphors through lenses and pictures to enhance the artistry of their films.
But this is a popcorn movie!
Enjoyment is the primary pursuit of movies.
If Director Lou is really allowed to film, can he give up those esoteric things and cater to the commercial market and the taste of the audience?
Therefore, Wu Hu expressed his concerns.
When Wu Hu raised these issues, the executives present felt more at ease with Wu Hu. Because their demands were the same as Wu Hu's, which was commercial.
How do movie companies survive? In addition to making money, they also make money!
If the project doesn't make money, the company will suffer losses; if it loses too much, the company will naturally collapse.
At this time, they remembered that Wu Hu, a newly minted small-time investor, could not afford to lose money because his fortune was so small.
Therefore, he tries his best to control it by himself. Is he also worried about others playing tricks on him?
Wu Hu looked at the director and said: "Although you are a senior in the industry, once you become the director of this drama, you may face my judgment. Some things that I feel dissatisfied with can only be addressed by me."
The opinions of the subject shall prevail. In this case, can the class director agree?
The director almost laughed out of anger, but Lao Wan was secretly winking at him. Old comrade, don't get angry yet! Agree and we will follow up step by step.
Lao Li also looked at Wu Hu and felt that Wu Hu was a little disrespectful. After all, the director was a veteran director. How could he be allowed to be a tool director?
Seeing the director's silence, Wu Hu said: "Actually, my idea is to just find any director. When I was writing the script for this movie, I already had many pictures in my mind. I just need to present these pictures."
Just come out. It's not that I don't believe in Director Lou's ability, but I'm worried that Director Lou will lose commerciality because of some artistry. This is a commercial film, it can have artistry, but the commercial elements must take priority."
After hearing this, the senior executives couldn't help but nod along.
Indeed, why do major film and television companies like to cooperate with directors from Hong Kong? It’s because they can ignore artistry and focus entirely on business.
As long as you can make money, who doesn't like it?
Who cares whether it’s art or not! Eating is the most important thing!
It’s just that some Xiangjiang directors took the opportunity to let go and create wildly, completely fooling investors into thinking they were fools, even daring to pay tens of thousands of dollars for a straw hat.
Although Lao Wan tried his best to get Director Lou to agree, Director Lou still shook his head in the end.
It’s not that Director Lou didn’t like the script, he even wanted to challenge the film “Infernal Affairs” artistically through this film.
But he knew that this was impossible, because there would definitely be a conflict with this young man.
He has already experienced the strong and domineering nature of this young man. He cannot accept being bossed around by a young man. He wants to lose face! So he might as well give up early.
This made Lao Wan somewhat disappointed.
But Wu Hu felt that he only needed to find a tool director. The tool director did not need to have his own ideas, because this was a successful movie in another world. He only needed to follow the process to shoot similar shots and then splice them into the movie.
Just one piece will do.
So he only needs an emotionless tool, and even he thinks he can be the director. Anyway, he has skills that can be added, and he still copies the scenes.
But when you think about being a starring role and wanting to be a director, investors will probably go crazy. If you are so capable, why don’t you go to heaven?
Moreover, he will definitely not have time to go out and experience the customs of Kimchi Country.
As we chatted into the evening, Wu Hu checked the time, stood up and said, "The director can find anyone who is obedient. I don't need him to have his own ideas, but he needs a certain level of execution. It's getting late, so I'll go back first.
I will communicate with my eldest brother once he is there."
Lao Wan smiled and said: "Why don't you stay and have a meal together? I'll treat you!"
Wu Hu waved his hand and said: "No, there are still friends waiting at home! You can contact the company in Kimchi Country! You can give them some supporting roles."
After saying that, Wu Hu took his leave.
Seeing this young man leaving resolutely, the senior executives present looked at each other and couldn't express their opinions.
In short, this confrontation made them feel quite embarrassed.
However, Lao Wan clapped his hands and said, "Okay! Let's take action. Now that the project has been established, everyone should seize the time to implement it. Lao Lou, please stay for a while."
…
After leaving Xingkong Film and Television, I got into the car driven by the driver, Sister Tang, and went straight home.
When he got home, Wu Hu rolled up his sleeves, put on his apron, and started processing the ingredients.
Yahuazi and Tietie were holding coffee and standing by the kitchen counter. While looking at Wu Hu's flowing movements and pleasing knife skills, they asked him about the result of his conversation with Starry Sky Film and Television.
Wu Hu boasted to them about his great achievements that had shocked everyone in the past, which made the two girls stunned. Even Ronaldinho and Sister Tang found it a bit incredible.
Sister Tang was invited to dinner by Wu Hu. Although Sister Tang is already married and has a five-year-old son, she is an outsider and came out to work in order to settle down in the local area. She will be able to take care of the iron in a while.
The train will send her back, and then she can get off work.
When working for celebrities like Wu Hu, it is normal to be on call 24 hours a day. There is no fixed time for commuting to and from get off work, but it is much better than being an assistant.
"Brother Hu, aren't you afraid that they will refuse to cooperate with us?" Tietie asked.
Wu Hu smiled and said: "Even if I am worried that they will not cooperate, I have to show that I still have a lot of choices, otherwise the other party will definitely take advantage of me. In fact, we also have a lot of choices, the Wang brothers
They are definitely willing to cooperate with us, but I don’t like those brothers. Starry Sky Pictures doesn’t even want to see us cooperate with other companies. What if we succeed in the future? They can’t afford to lose that person.”
Yahuazi also nodded, "Even if there are no Wang brothers, there is still Guangqi, Bona... and the eldest brother Cheng Jiang Capital over there! The Eagle Emperor Group is definitely willing to cooperate. But Fat Tiger, why
Why don't Starry Sky Films and Big Brother be connected? If Starry Sky Films and Big Brother are connected, I believe Big Brother will be more willing to believe in this project!"
Wu Hu said with a smile: "With Starry Sky Film and Television joining, it doesn't matter whether the eldest brother is willing to join or not. It's up to me to communicate with him, and he may hesitate. In this way, with his 10 million investment share, our New World
We can take over the business according to the trend. Even if we can't take over all of it, we can still share half of it. We have a registered capital of 50 million! Even if we renovate and open the business and pay the employees, it won't take much."
"..."
Everyone was speechless when they heard this. This guy actually wanted to trick Big Brother!
"So! We have nothing to worry about. Don't think that we are newcomers and we are not strong enough. Everyone opens a business just to make money. As long as they can make money and a little bit of face, they will easily accept it.
This kind of thing."
While chatting and cooking, it didn't take long for the aroma of food to fill the living room. Then Tie Tie mentioned Yahuazi's proposal to Wu Hu in the afternoon.
Wu Hu was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Isn't it the right thing to make money for you? After all, you have invested and bear the risk of losing money. I can't take advantage of everything! What's more, Qianqian also took the initiative to reduce her holdings.
10% of the shares."
Yahuazi chuckled and said: "I only have 10% of the shares, and Starry Sky Film and Television has 25%! They have taken a big advantage, so if you set up a personal studio, then we can let Starry Sky Film and Television take less advantage.
Isn’t it great?”
Wu Hu shook his head and said: "It's not necessary. Increasing my income in this way will only make people think that my appearance is too ugly. I know you are doing it for my own good, but New World Media still has to rely on the theaters of Starry Sky Film and Television
Where are the online resources? Offending them is not worth the gain."
After a pause, Wu Hu smiled again: "What's more, our New World Media is still investing in other movies, and all the money we earned has been invested in it. There may not be much dividends at the end of the year. But your five million arrears, I am sure
I will return it as soon as possible so that you will not be scolded by auntie."
"My mother is not that stingy!" Yahuazi defended her mother. Wu Hu smiled and did not argue with him on this issue.
Before long, the table was filled with tempting and delicious food.
The first time they enjoyed the delicacies cooked by a top-notch home-cooked chef like Wu Hu, Sister Tang and Ronaldinho were immediately conquered. They gave up on managing their bodies and went crazy.
After the meal, Sister Tang and Ronaldinho both rushed to clean up the mess and wash the dishes.
Wu Hu sat on the sofa and took out his mobile phone to call his eldest brother Cheng. Yahuazi and Tie Tie sat aside and looked curiously, wanting to see how Wu Hu deceived his eldest brother Cheng.
