Tang An ate three bowls of rice in a row, finishing almost all the food on the table before putting down the bowl.
He sighed with satisfaction, drank half a glass of water, and asked about what happened in the company this month.
"It's nothing. Several of the movies I invested in last year were cancelled, and they all lost money at the box office. Of the 4 movies, 3 did not exceed 1 million, and the highest box office of "Blessed Ears" was 1.7 million."
"It's normal to lose money. Movies with hundreds of thousands of dollars invested will basically not have many viewers." Tang An didn't care.
"However, three movies have sold TV rights. "Blessed Ears" sold for 300,000 yuan, the other two martial arts movies sold for 500,000 yuan together, and there was also a movie starring Supergirl that basically didn't get back 20,000 yuan. In total, the loss was less than 100,000 yuan."
"If you lose 100,000 yuan, you will lose money. How is the production of "Painted Skin" going? Is the filming going smoothly?"
After all, Wu Ershan is a new director without any experience in film and television drama directing. Zhao Wei and Zou Xun are higher than him in any role. If there is any conflict, he can't control it.
"I went to "Painted Skin" twice. There was no problem with Wu Ershan, and the crew was pretty calm. It was Zhao Wei and Zou Xun who didn't seem to get along very well."
Tang An frowned, it had only been filming for more than a month, and it really didn't stop.
"Nothing happened, right?"
"I asked Yang Mi about that matter, fighting over the dressing room, etc., but nothing happened. Don't worry, they have been filming for more than ten years, and they still have basic professional ethics. , will not affect the filming progress!" Xu Manyun said with a smile.
Why does a woman care about professional ethics when she acts violently? It seems that it is best to go to Hengdian and have a look!
After dinner, I rested for a while, took a shower and went to bed.
Tang An lay on the bed and turned on the TV. Some TV programs even mentioned ***, and he changed all the channels. He watched seven or eight variety shows, but there was not a single Hong Kong star.
"What TV are you watching?"
At this time, Xu Manyun came out wrapped in a bath towel after taking a shower, came to the bed and untied the bath towel, revealing her seductive body without even a strand of hair, lifted the quilt and got in.
"Not in pajamas either!"
Tang An shook his head, patted her breasts, and turned up the air conditioning temperature.
The capital is much colder than Omen, with temperatures even below zero.
But it's better if the wind doesn't blow up. If the wind blows while walking outside, it can crack your face.
Xu Manyun also sat up and leaned on Tang An, lifting the quilt to cover the spring scenery before the murder.
"Don't you have to take off your clothes after wearing them? It's not very cold in the room." Xu Manyun hugged Tang An's arm and chuckled.
Well...
"You're talking about me as if I'm some kind of pervert, thinking about those things all day long!" Tang An said speechlessly.
"Aren't you? Whose hands are in the quilt?" Xu Manyun rolled his eyes.
"I don't know, maybe it's your own."
Tang An seemed unaware and continued to fumble in the darkness.
Xu Manyun's face suddenly turned red, he rolled his eyes at Tang An, turned over and sat on him, and took the initiative to kiss him.
As there was a rustling in the bed, Xu Manyun adjusted his posture slightly and supported Tang An's wrist...
It didn't take long for Xu Manyun to lose his strength, and his whole body was weak and limp on Tang An.
Tang An had no choice but to do it by himself, rubbing his hands slowly on her smooth back, and from time to time...
The scene of the Big Bang was being played on the TV, and a sharp roar came from the high-end speakers.
The fireball expands, the stars are dying, the sun explodes, sending out huge fire shock waves, and the galaxy is destroyed in fanatical destruction...
As the feeling expands, the universe begins to shrink, wrapping around planets. The violent explosions make people feel warm, moist, and tight in front of the TV.
The universe shrank to the extreme, followed by more violent explosions and tearing, countless sparks were ejected, destroying planets one after another, and the entire TV screen was filled with flames.
Moreover, this video is made to give people a strong sense of shaking, as if the universe is shaking violently, which is very real.
After 10 minutes, the universe returned to calm!
...
After a busy month, I rarely had a day of rest. I woke up very energetic early in the morning.
He stretched out his hand and touched the side. The bed was still cold. Xu Manyun had already gotten up.
The little brother got up with his slippers on, and his fighting spirit was also high. Obviously, the more than two hours of fighting last night was nothing to him.
Not to mention two hours, all night is not a problem!
After brushing his teeth and washing his face and having breakfast, Tang An didn't go to Huayi immediately.
"In addition to "Painted Skin" and "Now You See Me" during this period, you should go to Jiangcheng and find a Jiangcheng Huaqi Film and Television Production Company. They are currently preparing a small movie "People on the Road" to win
This project.”
"Jiangcheng Huaqi Film and Television?"
Xu Manyun was puzzled as to why such a small-budget film invested by a medium-sized company was worthy of attention.
"That's right, the location is at No. 7 Xudong Street, Hongshan District. If they want to sell the script, they can sell it. If they don't, they can make a joint venture and get the copyright. It doesn't matter if they spend an extra million or two!"
It takes at least half a month to write a complete script. Even if you copy it according to the impression in your head, the storyboard script will take time to complete slowly.
Anyway, when others have it ready-made, why bother spending that energy? It’s just a matter of spending more money.
As for how to negotiate for the maximum benefit, there is no need for Tang Anjiao. He has been the general manager for three years. If he doesn't have this ability, it will be in vain.
"Is copyright necessary, all of it?" Xu Manyun asked puzzledly.
"Once you get the copyright, you can invest at a premium."
Xu Manyun nodded without going into details.
"Is there anything else?"
"Wu Jing has a project that is looking for investment. You should go and get in touch."
Xu Manyun wrote down, "Do you have any other requirements?"
"Just invest, it's only two to three million."
It’s not that Wu Jing, Xu Zheng, and Tang An want to sign them, but those projects will definitely get a share of the pie if they have the chance.
In the future, it will be no different than now. Major directors will start their own companies. People like Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou who are capable and willing to stay in the same company can no longer be found.
Chen Guofu used Huayi as a springboard. Tang An himself could not stay temporarily for two years. Other capable people would still have the same idea.
The greater the ability, the greater the ambition.
Ning Hao stayed at Galloping Pony for a while and left to become his own boss.
Even if Xu Zheng faced a giant like Guang Xian, he could still get most of the share of "囧". Excluding the distribution fee, Guang Xian really didn't make as much as Xu Zheng.
Is it possible that Cheng Cheng supported them in the early stage and then followed them wholeheartedly?
impossible!
Everyone is heading for higher places. Not only Chen Guofu has left Huayi, but Zhu Mo, the director of the public relations department, will also start a business with Chen Guofu. Half of the other senior executives will leave within a few years.
Emotions and kindness are all nonsense. This is a world where profit comes first.
After winning "Journey to the Road", I guess after "囧囧", Xu Zheng will be divided into the following series.
There's nothing you can do if you don't give it. Ten years from now, instead of now, people will make their own movies. Even if they don't use the name of the "囧" series, the box office won't be too bad. Just make two movies and the IP will be raised.
By then there will be more than enough companies willing to issue them.
Unlike now, there are only a few distribution companies in China capable of distributing a movie worth over 100 million yuan. Even if you make your own movie, you will still have to kneel down if there is no big company to distribute it!
