Tang An picked up a chopstick and stuffed the spicy chicken into his mouth and chewed it twice.
""Super Body" hasn't been officially started yet, and there are so many things to do in the future. How could I start a new project so soon?"
To Tang An's expectation, Li Binbin asked if there was any suitable role for her in the new film.
With Li Binbin's age and experience, how could he ask such a "stupid" question!
And it's still so early, so it's too urgent.
Li Binbin could also see the displeasure in Tang An's eyes, but he was not angry either. He put a hand on his shoulder, leaned his head towards him, and said with a smile.
"Why, are you unhappy?"
"Tell me, is there anything else?" Tang An shook his head.
"The company has a big production to start filming next year, and I have the role of the second female lead. If I have a role in your next movie, I will turn it down." Li Binbin said bluntly.
"Big production, how big?"
"Nearly 600 million yuan!"
There hasn't been a movie with such a big investment in several years, and it's Li Binbin's second female lead, so isn't it "The King of Kung Fu"!
"When exactly will the filming start?"
"I don't know yet. The project has just been approved and preparations have just begun."
Li Binbin added, "It is said that Cheng Long and Li Lianlian have verbally agreed to find a foreign director to film it!"
It didn’t run away, it was just that movie.
"Where's the heroine? Since it's Huayi's film, could it be Zou Xun or Fan Binbin?" Tang An asked casually.
"None of that!"
"Xu Ban?"
"Liu Yufei!" Li Binbin called out a name unhappily.
"oh?"
Tang An looked at Li Binbin in amusement, gnashing his teeth like a little girl.
"You, Director Wang, are really not satisfied. There are three big beauties in the company, and you have found a popular little one. You are not afraid that the role is not enough!"
Li Binbin glared at Tang An angrily, "Aren't you and Chen Guofu coming?"
"None of my business!" Tang An shrugged.
"Originally, the company only directed Feng to make one blockbuster a year. If you come here, there will be one more every year. Chen Guofu will definitely have no shortage of projects!"
After Li Binbin finished speaking, he looked at Tang An sadly.
Tang An's scalp was a little numb. He had seen Li Binbin who was cold and cool, and he had also seen Li Binbin behave like a little girl, and of course he had done it before.
Suddenly he was staring at me like a resentful woman, and I got goosebumps!
"Who said I would go to Huayi? Let's not talk about this!"
"Boss Wang has asked people to open up two offices!" Li Binbin said.
"His office has nothing to do with me. Just accept your blockbuster movie. Although you are only the second-ranked character, I can't blame you for not filming well. You have someone taller to support you!" Tang An thought for a moment and said.
.
Li Binbin's eyes darkened, but he hid it well. He joked, "You know the film will not work well?"
"Obviously, although Cheng Long and Li Lianlian are both action superstars, their styles are completely different. How can a foreign director coordinate them well?"
"Moreover, a film of this level must be a period film. If a foreigner is to shoot it, the scenery and costumes will definitely be... to say the least, horrible!"
"As for another plot, if you look at Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, you will know that Li Yu is a Chinese-American after all. How was the box office of the film in China?"
"With any luck, this film will make some money overseas, but at home, we can only see how strong the appeal of Cheng Long and Li Lianhe is!"
...
Tang An analyzed them one by one.
After dinner, Tang An left first.
But when he opened the door, he turned around and said something again.
"We'll wait for the outcome of my discussion with Director Wang. We don't know what we're going to shoot yet!"
...
On August 15, Tang An met Wang Zhongjun in a hotel box near the studio.
Just the two of them, no one else around.
After being polite, Wang Zhongjun directly made his own conditions.
"Director Tang, deputy director of the production department, I can give you the greatest authority, no less than Director Feng, and Mr. Chen cannot interfere in your project at will!"
"For any movie you make, your personal studio can participate in 20% of the investment, with a share ratio of no less than 15%, and a 5% share of the director's remuneration!"
"The company will not interfere with the choice of any role in your movie. It is entirely up to you to choose, but I still hope to use our own actors as much as possible!"
"Your personal movie does not have a producer, but Mr. Chen will solve any difficulties!"
...
"This is the behind-the-scenes team I have prepared for you. The leaders of each group are top talents in the industry!"
A lot of conditions were listed, and Wang Zhongjun handed over a document, which recorded the detailed information of several photographers, art directors, makeup artists, prop artists...!
Tang An took it and looked at it carefully.
The first art director was a big shot, Ye Jintian, who had served as the art director for films such as "A Better Tomorrow", "Rouge", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Two Eyes", and "The Promise".
He has three teams of Fuhua Taoists under him, and they are all professional talents.
The photographer is American Bao Xuanming, who is well-known in the Baodao film industry.
Others such as makeup artists, sound effects artists, and various producers are also professionals in the industry.
When Wang Zhongjun saw how seriously Tang An took these resumes, he knew that his guess was right.
Huayi's biggest advantage is that it can build a first-class crew for Tang An.
The most important thing about the film "Super Body" is the post-production sound effects and special effects. You can find other companies to do this.
But film shooting requires a long-term cooperation with the crew. The director knows everyone's style. Others will know what the director is going to do just by looking at his gestures and eyes.
After reading it, Tang An thought about it for a moment and said, "They are indeed first-class talents, but can Wang Dong, the three people including the photographer, sound effects engineer, and visual effects director, change a group of people!"
These three people were all brought by Chen Guofu from Baodao and Colombia!
Wang Zhongjun's eyes narrowed, but he didn't say anything. He smiled and said, "Of course, Director Tang in the company can choose at will!"
"The photographer will be Mr. Zhang Li, the sound effects engineer Wu Qiang, and I'm not familiar with the visual effects director. Just wait and see and find someone else, Mr. Wang!"
Zhang Li was the photographer of "The Night Banquet", but he and Feng Xiaogang have not collaborated since "The Night Banquet".
Wu Qiang is Feng Xiaogang's long-term collaborator, and he has been cast in films such as "Tangshan Earthquake", "I'm Not Pan Jinlian", and "1942".
In fact, the heads of several departments of this crew were brought by Chen Guofu. These three, Tang An remembered, also followed Chen Guofu when he left Huayi, so they should be relatively "loyal" to him.
Ye Jintian also had a good relationship with Chen Guofu, but he still didn't follow him later.
"In addition, from the perspective of several producers and production directors, I would like to invite people from the "Super Body" crew to come over. After all, we have collaborated so many times."
"No problem!" Wang Zhongjun agreed immediately.
After the crew had finished talking, all other rules and regulations were empty. Regarding the sharing, Tang An talked about 30% of the investment, which would be divided in the same proportion. The director would not need to pay for the film, and would be directly paid a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan.
Even if the director gets a 5% share, that's still 7 to 8 million, and nearly half of it is directly deducted from personal income tax. It's better to go to the studio's account, even if his director's salary is converted into cost, and he pays less tax!
Wang Zhongjun thought about it for a while and agreed.
Now he needs Tang An. The profitability of Tang An's movies is no less than those of costume blockbusters with huge investments, and the risks are even smaller!
As for the position issue, Tang An, the vice president of the production department, did not ask for it, but asked for the title of art director!
It can be regarded as equal to Chen Guofan!
I am afraid that few directors in the country can obtain these conditions!
But Tang An is not only a director, he is also capital. Even if he does not rely on these big companies, he can still make money!
PS: The conditions are a bit high, but we are just writing a novel, a pleasant article. If it is too low, it will become a sadist.
Yesterday, I lost my money. I lost three to four hundred... My heart is not good, don't stimulate me. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
