I am a director, but I have the skills of an actor

Chapter 120 Scandal (It was banned before, so don’t click it if you’ve read it!)

Neither Wan Qingshan nor Fan Bayi are professional negotiators. The two of them went back and forth, and in less than half an hour, the negotiation reached the final stage!
After hearing Fan Bayi say a number in a very strong tone, Wan Qingshan saw this and estimated that Fan Bayi would have to give up if we talked about it again.

So, Wan Qingshan, who had been aggressive before, said with a gentle expression, "Miss Fan, I can understand your concerns. I have never thought about how much money I can make from the company I partner with you. Well, I will take a step back and press You said 27%.”

Fan Bayi suddenly felt a sense of relief. When she said 27% just now, she had planned that if Wan Qingshan still didn't agree, then she would give up starting a company and continue to return to Huayi!

Although 27% has exceeded the bottom line she had previously thought.But fortunately, as long as it goes beyond a certain point, no one can take away the company’s leadership in the future.

Fan Bayi breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said, "Director Wan, thank you for your understanding. My contract with Huayi will be terminated early next year. As soon as the contract is terminated, I will immediately prepare for the company. I hope you will take more care of me, Director Wan." Me."

"Haha, Miss Fan, we will be considered a family from now on. Don't talk about taking care of us. Let's help each other."

"Haha, what you said, Director Wan, is that we will be a family from now on. Director Wan, I will ask the waiters to serve the food, and we will celebrate." Fan Bayi said with a sweet smile.

"Okay, it's time to celebrate. However, I won't drink anymore. I have a bad drinking ability, and I have something to do later."

"Then don't drink, so as not to delay Wan Dao's business."

Next, Fan Bayi and Wan Qingshan chatted meaninglessly while eating.

After finishing the meal with Fan Bayi's constant compliments, Wan Qingshan and Fan Bayi walked out of South Beauty together!

After the two got into the car, not far away, in the passenger seat of a van, Zhuo Wei, the future number one paparazzi in the entertainment industry, put down his camera and pushed the man sleeping in the driver's seat with a joyful expression.

After the man woke up with a start, he quickly asked, "Brother Zhuo, what's wrong?"

Zhuo Wei pointed at the car that was already moving in Wanqingshan and said hurriedly, "Stop sleeping and follow me quickly."

The man quickly started the car and followed, asking, "Brother Zhuo, you are so happy, did you take a photo of something?"

"Feng Ke, guess who Wan Qingshan is here to see?" Zhuo Wei pretended to be mysterious with a smile.

Looking at Wanqingshan's car in front, Funk yawned and replied, "Brother Zhuo, how could I have guessed this? I followed Wanqingshan for a week and found nothing, no signs. How could I guess?" .”

"Before, when Chen Yumo was around, Wan Qingshan would not show any signs. Now that Chen Yumo is gone, Wan Qingshan no longer has to hide." Zhuo Wei said with a proud smile.

Funk's eyes lit up and he asked, "Brother Zhuo, did he go to see Zeng Li just now?"

Zeng Li became extremely popular because she starred in two Wan Qing Shan movies.The two movies increased Zeng Li's salary and endorsement fees hundreds of times.

Nowadays, apart from Zhang Ziyi and Gong Li, Zeng Li has the highest endorsement fee and film salary among female celebrities.

In one and a half years, Zeng Li went from a third-tier actor to a popular first-tier actress, all thanks to Wan Qingshan.

Therefore, there have been rumors in the industry that Zeng Li was taken over by Wan Qingshan, otherwise Wan Qingshan would not have invited Zeng Li to star in two consecutive movies.

"It's not Zeng Li, it's Fan Bayi!"

"Fan Bayi!" Feng Ke was surprised and asked curiously, "Brother Zhuo, Fan Bayi has never interacted with him before. What are they doing?"

"Ask me, I'll ask who is going." Zhuo Wei replied angrily.

Feng Ke smiled and followed Wan Qingshan's car attentively without asking any more questions.

,,,,,,
After Wan Qingshan left Beauty Jiangnan, he originally wanted to return to the company, but in the middle of the film, Zhang Zhao called and said that the distribution rights in Europe and the United States had been negotiated with [-]th Century Fox.

Wan Qingshan turned around and headed to Enlight Pictures.

As soon as he saw Wan Qingshan, Zhang Zhao, with a smile on his face, said excitedly, "Director Wan, how much do you think it was sold for?"

Seeing Zhang Zhao's smile, Wan Qingshan knew that he was definitely not low.

"Mr. Zhang, I can't guess the exact amount, but I'm sure the price exceeds the price of the Japanese and Korean distribution rights, otherwise, Mr. Zhang, you wouldn't be so happy." Wan Qingshan smiled.

"Director Wan, of course it's more than that, it's still a big one, 500 million US dollars, haha." Zhang Zhao laughed.

"Fifteen million!" Wan Qingshan couldn't help but repeat it in surprise.

Wan Qingshan really didn't expect that it actually exceeded his expectation by one-third!

Although the price of US$500 million is not even comparable to the price of the North American distribution rights of "Heroes", Wan Qingshan is already very satisfied.

"Hero" is a martial arts blockbuster full of Chinese connotations, which is not available abroad. There are many movies of the type "Loyalty Liver, Righteousness and Brave" abroad, but they are not as good-looking as "Loyalty Liver, Righteousness".

Therefore, Wan Qingshan never thought that the European and American distribution rights of "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness" could compare with "Hero".

Wan Qingshan had thought that if Twentieth Century Fox came to the door, it should be sold for about 1000 million U.S. dollars, but he didn't expect it to be so much more.

"Director Wan, if you are shocked, then the audience will be even more shocked. I plan to spread the news soon, which will definitely increase the box office."

Zhang Zhao was certain, but Wan Qingshan believed that the news would not stimulate much box office.

He put a lot of effort into the promotion of "Loyal Liver and Brave". Photos of the cast and crew were posted on entertainment programs, he promoted Cheng Long and Li Lienjie online to promote it, and he fabricated news about martial arts textbooks being included in Japan and South Korea. He used all these tricks to control the box office trend. Still, how much effect can 500 million US dollars have?

This news will not stimulate the box office, but pirates will definitely be happy.

Those movie fans who have watched it will definitely buy the CD of "Loyal Liver and Brave" and watch it again at home or collect it because of this news. As for going to the theater to watch it a second time, don't even think about it.

How much does a movie ticket cost? How much does a CD cost?

However, it was announced that the European and American distribution rights had been sold for US$500 million. This was a trivial matter. Wan Qingshan was too lazy to worry about it. He had an urgent matter now. "Mr. Zhang, I want to discuss something with you."

"Huh? Director Wan, what do you mean?" Zhang Zhao replied in surprise.

"Mr. Zhang, I want to wait for 500th Century Fox to transfer the money, and then we will divide the fifteen million US dollars first."

"No problem, Director Wan, the contract has been signed, and [-]th Century Fox will transfer the money tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Director Wan, if it's not enough, I can lend you my account share. "

Normally, they are all in the same branch after the movie is released.Therefore, as soon as Wan Qingshan asked for money, Zhang Zhao thought that Wan Qingshan was in urgent need of money.

"Mr. Zhang, thank you for your kindness, but this division of accounts is enough for me."

Afterwards, Zhang Zhao and Wan Qingshan chatted for a few words and left Enlight Pictures.

In the middle of the night, at the entrance of the alley outside the Wanqingshan Siheyuan!

In the van, Funk took out his cell phone and checked the time.

"Brother Zhuo, it's already one o'clock. Fan Bayi probably won't come."

"Shouldn't it?" Zhuo Wei murmured doubtfully.

"Brother Zhuo, what should I do now? Are you still waiting?"

Zhuo Wei hesitated for a moment, then rubbed his face vigorously to drive away the sleepiness, and said energetically,

"No wait, the photo of the two of them at the door of South Beauty is enough to write news. Let's go back."

When he heard that there was no need to wait, Funk immediately became energetic and replied quickly. "well,"

Early the next morning, the news carefully written by Zhuo Wei that 'popular actress Fan Bayi and popular director Wan Qingshan both ended up together' appeared on the front page of a medium-sized entertainment newspaper!

Wan Qingshan didn't have the habit of reading newspapers. He came to the company in the morning and was preparing to interview the driver and bodyguard that Chen Chen was looking for. Chen Chen put down the newspaper with a strange expression, and he only found out about it.

After reading the news, Wan Qingshan didn't take the scandal seriously. How many directors were stoned and it didn't happen at all, not to mention that it was fake.

The news headline was a photo of Wan Qingshan and Fan Bayi walking out of South Beauty together, and then there was the story that Zhuo Wei carefully made up.

What, Fan Bayi met Wan Qingshan when he was auditioning for the heroine of "The True Meaning of Love". Although he didn't get the heroine in the interview, he developed a relationship with Wan Qingshan.

What, because Wan Qingshan is a great director, and Fan Bayi often asks for help.

It was also said that Wan Qingshan and his girlfriend Chen Yumo had been separated for a long time, which led to Wan Qingshan and Fan Bayi getting together!

It's exactly like the kind of news of later generations that starts with a picture and the content is all made up.

Although he didn't take it seriously, Wan Qingshan still called Chen Yumo.

As soon as the call was connected, before Wan Qingshan could speak, Chen Yumo on the other end spoke first.

"Hey, you are calling me right now, do you want to tell me that the news is fake and tell me not to believe it?"

Hearing Chen Yumo's smiling tone on the phone, Wan Qingshan also started joking.

"No, I want to tell you that the news is true."

"It's really true. I don't have time to tell you more. I have a meeting soon."

On the other end of the phone, Chen Yumo didn't believe Wan Qingshan's words at all. As for Zeng Li, she was a little worried.

But Fan Bayi, who is constantly making scandalous news, would not accept the offer even though Wan Qingshan, who is a bit hysterical, would not accept it.

Wan Qingshan, who originally wanted to make a joke, suddenly lost interest and said half-heartedly,
"Since you are going to have a meeting, I won't joke with you. The news is false. I met Fan Bayi to discuss cooperation with her."

Chen Yumo was very curious about the cooperation between Wan Qingshan and Fan Bayi, but at this time the assistant asked her to go to a meeting, and she could only say quickly, "No more, I have a meeting."

After hanging up the phone, Wan Qingshan began to interview the driver and bodyguard Chen Chen was looking for.

Although Wan Qingshan was well-known in the past, he was only the director of "The True Meaning of Love", which was a hit at the box office. It has been more than two years since the gambling news that made the rounds, and everyone has long forgotten about it, so many viewers don't know his appearance. .

Nowadays, "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness" has become a hit. As the starring role, he is remembered by the audience.

As a result, it is now impossible to go out without covering up, so some time ago Wan Qingshan thought that he should recruit drivers and bodyguards.

Chen Chen was recruiting bodyguards and drivers from outside, and the treatment offered was quite high. There were many applicants. It took Chen Chen and Yu Ying several days to select a driver and two bodyguards.

The driver selected was a veteran, and the two bodyguards were also veterans and had several years of experience working as bodyguards.

Wan Qingshan didn't have any special requirements for drivers and bodyguards. After roughly asking a few people about their situation, he decided to use them.

Later, Wan Qingshan asked Yu Ying to recruit someone who knew finance.

Wan Qingshan planned to transfer this person to Fan Bayi Company to keep an eye on the tax payment after Fan Bayi Company opened.
