As soon as Fan Binbin left, an uninvited guest came in front of Tang An.
Lu Chuan put his right hand into his trousers pocket and came to Tang An with a glass of champagne.
He shook the cup, glanced at the plate in Tang Shan's hand, and said with a joking smile, "Director Tang didn't eat before he came here. You can eat more. Only when you are full can you be energetic for filming!"
Lu Chuan, who won a trophy for Best Feature Film, has regained his confidence and wants to tell Tang An that "Kekexili" is the "Best Feature Film".
Tang An glanced at Lu Chuan and was speechless when he saw his smug look.
The legendary brainless villain?
Tang An wiped his mouth with a napkin and said calmly, "I really didn't eat when I came here, let alone the food prepared by the organizer is really good!"
"Then Director Tang will have to eat more..."
Before Lu Chuan could say the next half of the sentence, Tang An then said, "Director Lu must be full. Is he too full? There is a park nearby. Many elderly people will dance there in the evening. You can go
Exercise, eat, eat!”
Surprisingly, Lu Chuan did not get angry, as if he had expected it.
"Director Tang is still so eloquent!"
He smiled disdainfully and shook the cup in his hand, "It's a pity that no matter how good you are, you can't get the judges to give you the trophy. "Kekexili" is the best feature film!"
Lu Chuan emphasized the words "Best Feature Film" very seriously, and I still remember Tang An's disparaging words about him back in San Sebastian.
He even said that what he was filming was a documentary, and it was purely to cater to the audience!
"That's right, Director Lu won the best feature film, didn't he? Congratulations!" Tang An said calmly.
Tang An really couldn't understand why someone in his 30s still looked like a primary school student!
Why don't you come here with the trophy to show off!
Lu Chuan was furious for a moment, thinking that Tang An was ignoring him, so he lowered his voice and said directly, ""Kekexili" is a better movie. Your "Shark Beach" can only go abroad to deceive foreigners!"
After saying that, he looked at Tang An with a proud look on his face.
"What about that? What happens next?"
Tang An was not in the mood to chat with him. After the dinner, he had to rush back to the crew to check the film he had shot this afternoon, and then prepare for tomorrow's mission!
Putting down the plate, Tang An looked at him indifferently, "So you're just showing off in front of me like a child?"
"Put away your childish thoughts and come back to me when you can get 30 million box office. Maybe I will give you a high look then!"
"People like you who only make popcorn movies don't understand the meaning of movies. What else can you think of except the box office?"
Tang An frowned, this man is a bully.
When you talk about box office, he talks about art. One day when he wants to make a popcorn movie to cater to the audience, he will say it is to let more viewers understand what he wants to express.
Later, he made a movie called "The Nine-Story Monster Tower". When asked why he changed the original work beyond recognition, he said that he was worried that filming a tomb robbing scandal would cause him psychological shadow, so he made a monster movie.
Movie.
He really pretended to be a cousin and built an archway, hung up his name to gain popularity, collected money and pretended to be aloof.
Seeing that Tang An was silent, Lu Chuan looked sullen and said, "Director Tang, doesn't he want box office? Then I'll see how much box office your movie can get this summer!"
"I don't need to worry about Director Lu. You should just worry about your own film!"
"Director Tang is not confident, right? Director Xu Ke also has a martial arts film to be released this summer, and it seems that the schedule is about the same as yours!"
Lu Chuan was still there, but Wang Zhonglei came over.
"Director Tang!"
He nodded to Tang An, then looked at Lu Chuan, "Lao Lu, I have something to do with you!"
"What's going on? Tang Anzheng and I were having a nice chat!"
"About your new movie!" Wang Zhonglei whispered in his ear.
"Then Director Tang, I'm looking forward to your new film being a hit at the box office!"
Lu Chuan frowned, said a word without a smile, and left with Wang Zhonglei!
After taking Lu Chuan aside, Wang Zhonglei felt a little bitter.
Now that Tang An is the person his eldest brother is recruiting, Lu Chuan suddenly provokes him, and it will be troublesome if he misunderstands him.
and!
Wang Zhonglei glanced at Lu Chuan without any trace and shook his head secretly.
"Lao Lu, your project was rejected by my elder brother. If you film it, you will be scolded to death!"
"I took the photos based on real history. I went to the museum and read a lot of diaries of the soldiers. What they wrote in their diaries were very small things, such as robbing a pig, digging some yams, and preparing to make a meal. And they are the team that entered Nanjing City, we must face up to that period of history!" Lu Chuan said puzzledly.
Face it!
Wang Zhonglei sneered at this statement and thought that Lu Chuan had lost his mind.
But the French guy was also very busy, so he was so full that he encouraged Lu Chuan to shoot such a movie.
"But you are asking for too much money. It will cost 30 million just to restore the real Nanjing City. Add in the extras, explosions, and war scenes. Without 80 million, it would be impossible to film!"
"Director Qin of Xingmei has promised to provide half of the funds, and two other investors will provide 15 million. Director Wang only needs to bear the remaining 25 million. This number is not a lot!" Lu Chuan frowned.
Wang Zhonglei persuaded him a few more times, and when he saw that he refused to give up the project, he made up his mind.
"Lao Lu, let me tell you the truth. My eldest brother wants to invite Tang An to join Huayi. He has promised to give him 30 million yuan for his next movie. Plus Director Feng has to bear more than half of the 120 million yuan cost of the new movie. There is not enough money to give you. Got it!"
"What!" Lu Chuan was shocked.
"Director Wang invited Tang An to join? And also gave him an investment quota of 30 million?"
Wang Zhonglei was silent for a moment and nodded.
"Brother, he also took a fancy to Tang An's box office potential in the mainland!"
"Then what should I do!" Lu Chuan shouted angrily.
This is a slap in his face!
"No, absolutely not, with him and without me!"
"I have also advised my eldest brother that Tang An's first movie was just a matter of good luck. I don't know how his next movie will be, but you also know him. Most people can't persuade him to make decisions!" Wang Zhonglei sighed. .
"Then how can I stay in the company? Wang Dongming knows that I don't get along with him, but he wants to recruit him!"
...
In the end, the conversation between the two broke up unhappily, and Lu Chuan said he wanted to terminate the contract and left angrily.
Looking at Lu Chuan's back, Wang Zhonglei sighed and then took out his mobile phone.
"Brother, Lu Chuan has taken the initiative to terminate the contract. I think he will come to see you early tomorrow morning!"
"Well, I know!"
Investing 80 million yuan to make a movie with that kind of subject, and the content is so sensitive, not only will the cost not be recovered, but the entire Huayi will be affected if there is even the slightest mistake.
At this time, they just used Tang An to stimulate him and let him take the initiative to terminate the contract. When the time came, they repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay, so it was not considered unkind on their part.
With Lu Chuan's temper, even if his eldest brother denied recruiting Tang An, he would not believe it.
And Lu Chuan was too embarrassed to tell others about this kind of thing, after all, he was squeezed out!
Safely remove an unstable factor without carrying the reputation of burning bridges!
Although Wang Zhonglei had a good relationship with Lu Chuan before, for the sake of the overall situation, he had to do this.
Moreover, Lu Chuan is indeed a bit extreme. God knows what more outrageous ideas he will have in the future.
Watching Lu Chuan's back go away, Wang Zhonglei put on a smile again and walked towards Tang An.
