It was noon, and there was a steady stream of cars on the road. Xu Zheng also returned to the hotel next door.
He was thinking about Wang Zhonglei's conditions, which were indeed very tempting.
There is no need to sign with Huayi, and the studio he established will not interfere with it. He will be given a 30% investment share. In addition to the requirement of three films in five years, it can be said that it gives him the greatest freedom.
But this is not what he wants. 70% of the share is given to Huayi. The entire project still belongs to Huayi. If there is another blockbuster series like the "囧" series and the copyright is not in his hands, then It would be a big loss.
What he wants is to invest in his own filmmaking, and it must be led by him.
However, he now understands that if he does not meet this requirement, he can only wait for the success of his next starring role in "Modern Times" before he can talk to big companies on an equal footing.
It's just that when I came out of the hotel before, I seemed to feel a strange look, as if I was being stared at by someone.
He didn't notice the cars passing by on the road, maybe he was overthinking it.
"Brother An, those were Director Xu and Mr. Wang from Huayi just now, how come they met here?" Yang Mi also followed Tang An's gaze in the car and spotted the two people and asked involuntarily.
Tang An turned around and said with a smile, "There's nothing surprising. Almost every company in the industry has approached Xu Zheng. Wang Zhonglei came too late."
Seeing Tang An's nonchalant look, Yang Mi asked curiously, "They are all here to poach Director Xu, aren't you worried, Brother An?"
Needless to say, everyone can guess why those companies contacted Xu Zheng. It was probably to say hello, chat and drink tea.
Every famous star and director will often be poached by people from other companies who offer better conditions.
Depending on your ability and potential, your treatment will be different.
Having Huayi's president, general manager, and vice chairman Wang Zhonglei come to recruit in person is enough to show Huayi's sincerity.
Then the conditions they offer are definitely not ordinary, at least they are top-notch in the industry.
With such a high salary to recruit people, Yang Mi didn't believe that Tang An was not worried at all. After all, Xu Zheng's movie had a box office of over 500 million.
Looking at Yang Mi's confused gaze, Tang An reached out and touched her head and smiled.
"What am I worried about? It's up to Xu Zheng whether he wants to leave or not. Even if he leaves, he still has to pay me a liquidated damages. The two contracts between the director and the artist's manager are quite expensive."
"Besides, I own all the copyrights for the "囧" series. At worst, I'll have to hire someone else to film them."
The most popular series now is the "囧" series. Even if Xu Zheng is gone and someone else is in charge of filming, as long as the quality is high enough, the box office will not be bad.
The absence of Xu Zheng in the third part may have some impact, but his mark will be completely eliminated in the fourth part.
If it doesn't work, Tang An can make a movie "Thailand: Detective Chinatown".
By leveraging the fame of the "囧" series, it not only made another series popular, but also eliminated Xu Zheng's mark.
This can be broken down into two series, two golden mountains.
Of course, it depends on how Xu Zheng walks, I hope he won't go too narrow.
As long as Xu Zheng is willing to cooperate, the next Tang An will naturally give him a share, and he is never stingy with capable people.
"But Director Xu was discovered by you, Brother An. Without you, how would he have the chance to direct two movies in a row now?"
Yang Mi was very unhappy with Xu Zheng's ungrateful behavior.
Tang An shook his head, "You can't say that. He helped me make a lot of money, and he doesn't owe me anything. There is no betrayal."
A solid camp and flowing soldiers are just business.
Just like football transfers and nba trades.
Players can change jobs, and teams can trade and sell players.
If you don't renew the contract and change jobs, you will be disloyal to the team. How can you say that the team has traded away so many players before?
Seeing that Yang Mi was even angrier than himself, Tang An rubbed her head and comforted her, "Okay, okay, don't talk about this. We will be on the set soon. If there is any problem, I will go find Mr. He and Yu I’ll always tell you something.”
When Yang Mi heard this, he immediately started counting with his fingers.
"I want to add meals, I want to change hotels, I don't want to shoot night scenes
Before Yang Mi could finish speaking, Tang An immediately shouted to the driver, "Turn around and go back to the capital!"
Yang Mi stopped what he was doing and asked in confusion, "Brother An, why are you going back to the capital?"
"You have so many demands and there is only one solution. Just lie down at home and stop filming." Tang An said angrily.
"But that's what you wanted me to say."
Yang Mi looked at Tang An aggrievedly, with a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes.
"Then how about I find an actor with a similar body shape to you and put on a human skin mask to act for you."
"Okay." Yang Mi agreed immediately.
"What a great guy you are. There's no need to discuss anything you said. I'll go say hello to Director Li later and ask her to be stricter with you." Tang An said angrily.
Yang Mi immediately said with a grimace, "Director Li is already very strict, and many people on the crew complained."
She quickly rushed over and hugged Tang An's arm, "Brother An, I'm actually joking, that's all."
"Just what?"
"That Feng Shaofeng looks a bit perverted," Yang Mi said hesitantly.
"What did he do?" Tang An asked quickly.
"No, he didn't do anything. He just looked very uncomfortable in his eyes, and I heard that actresses often go to his room at night."
"That's it?" Tang An asked, looking at her assistant Zhao Luoyao.
Zhao Luoyao nodded and said, "Director Tang, Director Li takes good care of Mi Mi on the set. Nothing is wrong."
"Then when we get to the set, I'll ask the kid to calm down a little, but this is his nature. He was like that in Huayi before."
It is not strange at all for this character of a wealthy second-generation young man who has countless women wanting to fall in love with him.
However, although his father is rich, he has not yet reached a certain level, and he is in two industries, so his influence is limited.
In the afternoon, I rushed to the hotel where the crew was staying. The crew of "Gong Lock Heart Jade" had almost arrived and were preparing for tomorrow's filming.
He Jing, general manager of Mango Film and Television, Yu Zheng from Dongyang Huanyu, and two directors Li Huizhu and Huang Wenjun also arrived.
"Mr. He, Happy New Year to Mr. Yu."
"Hello, Mr. Tang."
"Director Li, Director Huang, and Yang Mi, thank you for taking care of me during this time."
"Don't worry, Mr. Tang, Yang Mi played the role very well."
After chatting for a while, in addition to director Li Huizhu, there is also Huang Wenjun, who worked as an assistant to Li Guoli in "Sword and Sword III". His name is in the director column. Both of them have directed Yang Mi before. The crew member Tang Ann has nothing to worry about.
Then Tang An asked about Feng Shaofeng's room. He had just joined the team at noon and was still resting in the room.
