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

Chapter 141 The trend is unstoppable "Banned again, going crazy"

In the office of Qingshan Film and Television, Wan Qingshan looked at the report on Fan Bayi's founding of the company on the computer and frowned slightly!

Wan Qingshan knew at a glance that this news was the same as when Fan Bayi terminated his contract with Huayi and signed a contract with Qingshan Film and Television Company. It was Fan Bayi who took the initiative to reveal it - no, it should have been revealed by Yang Siwei!
Even if Yang Siwei didn't reveal the fact that Fan Bayi and he cooperated to establish Fanfan Company, they wouldn't be able to keep it secret for long.After a while, when Fanfan Company is opened, everyone will know about it.

Therefore, Wan Qingshan was not angry when Yang Siwei revealed this matter.

Now, Wan Qingshan is suspicious of Yang Siwei's approach.

The timing was so coincidental that Wan Qingshan had to wonder if Yang Siwei had made some deal with Chen Hong. She used news from Fanfan Company to reduce the popularity of "The Promise", and Chen Hong gave her some resources!
"Given Yang Sisi's shrewdness, she might actually do this. Sooner or later, Fanfan Company's affairs will have to be kept secret, so it's better to reveal them in advance in exchange for some resources!"

After Wan Qingshan muttered in his heart, his cell phone rang, and he saw it was Chen Hong calling.

Wan Qingshan is sure that the news about Fanfan Company was used by Yang Siwei to make a deal with Chen Hong. Otherwise, why would Chen Hong call him at this time?
After answering the phone, Wan Qingshan said with a smile, "Hello, Producer Chen."

"Director Wan, you should have seen today's news about you and Miss Fan starting a company!" Chen Hong's tired voice came from the phone.

"I see it, I see it. Producer Chen, your voice sounds like you are not feeling well.

Don't worry about "The Promise" news. These matters should be caused by the investors of "The Promise". If they cause it, then let them handle it. "

It must be true that "The Promise" stole the box office, otherwise the box office trend wouldn't be so strange.However, if Chen Kaige and Chen Hong were responsible for stealing the box office, Wan Qingshan would not believe it.

"The Promise" is a box office smash. No matter how much it steals the box office, it is impossible for "The Promise" to surpass "Hero" at the box office.Therefore, Chen Kaige will not do anything to steal the box office.

His current focus should be on how to win the Oscar. Only the Oscar can save "The Promise" and his reputation.

As for Chen Hong, she has already made a lot of money from her position as the producer of "The Promise".

No matter how high the box office of "The Promise" was, it didn't bring her as much money as she did.Unless her brain is short-circuited, she would think about stealing box office.

"Director Wan, Director Wan, you still understand me. Now everyone suspects that I did the thing of stealing the box office. Even Lao Chen is a little suspicious of me. Only you believe that I didn't steal the box office.

Now I don't dare to go out. As soon as I go out, a group of reporters jump out and keep asking me about stealing the box office.They wanted me to admit that I stole the box office before they would let me go.

They also didn’t think about it. Stealing the box office would be of no benefit to me. How could I possibly steal the box office? "

Listening to Chen Hong's choked voice on the phone, Wan Qingshan was stunned.

"I just said it politely, but she did it. Did I go too far?"

After Wan Qingshan muttered in his heart, he quickly changed the topic, "Producer Chen, don't worry, things will eventually pass.

By the way, Producer Chen, why are you looking for me? "

After several gentle sounds of wiping noses came from the mobile phone, Chen Hong's voice rang, "Director Wan, I'm sorry for making you laugh."

"It's okay, it's okay. Producer Chen, you are a gentle person. I can understand many things." Wan Qingshan replied without conscience.

"Haha, Director Wan, thank you for the compliment, haha."

After Chen Hong stopped laughing, he suppressed his smile and continued, "Director Wan, I'm looking for you because I want to say sorry to you.

Yesterday, Ms. Fan Bayi's agent came to me and offered to temporarily relieve me from the trouble of stealing box office news. This group of reporters really made me nervous, so I agreed to her.

I really didn’t expect that she was using the news about you and Ms. Fan Bayi to open a company to dilute the news about "The Promise" stealing the box office. I only found out about it when I saw the news.

Director Wan, I'm really sorry. I really didn't know she was using this incident to dilute the news that "The Promise" stole the box office. "

What Chen Hong said was sincere, but Wan Qingshan didn't know whether to believe it or not.

Chen Hong is not stupid. The news of Fan Bayi signing a contract with Qingshan Film and Television Company had caused quite a stir before, so she must have known about it.

Now that Fan Bayi's agent has a way to dilute the news that "The Promise" stole the box office, it will definitely release another big news.

Now everyone knows that Fan Bayi is from Qingshan Film and Television Company, so the news released will definitely be related to Qingshan Film and Television Company, that is, to him.

However, Chen Hong's tone sounded like she really didn't know.

Wan Qingshan thought about it and found that he was really unsure, so he put the question behind him.

"What do I mean, Producer Chen, you don't need to call me to apologize for this matter. If the news is not released now, everyone will know it in a few days."

"Director Wan, so am I..."

Chen Hong stopped mid-sentence. Wan Qingshan raised his eyebrows. Just as he was about to speak, Chen Hong's voice came from the phone.

"I'm also afraid of delaying Wan Dao's business. Wan Dao, now that this matter has spread, you have to be careful. I'm afraid Hua Yi and the others are now discussing how to deal with you."

"Haha, it's okay. Since I dare to open a company with Miss Fan, I'm not afraid of the impact of this matter."

Afterwards, Wan Qingshan comforted Chen Hong and hung up the phone.

As Chen Hong said, when Wan Qingshan and Chen Hong were talking on the phone, people from Huayi and other film and television companies were thinking of countermeasures because of Wan Qingshan and Fan Bayi's partnership in starting a company.

However, Chen Hong was so busy with the news that Chen Kaige was going to sue "Murder Case Caused by a Steamed Bun" and "The Promise" that the box office crashed, and another "The Promise" stole the box office, that she didn't even know about Tang Jianli presiding over the meeting.

As a result, she was wrong about the impact of Wan Qingshan and Fan Bayi's opening of a company!
,,,,,

"I originally thought that Wan Qingshan used the leading female role in his movie to attract Fan Bayi to change jobs. It was Fan Bayi who co-wrote it and she wanted to start a company of her own!
Wan Qingshan doesn't know what's wrong with him. It's not a good idea to just stick to his company and make money safely.Even if he wants to develop his artist business, that's fine.

But he actually agreed to start a company with Fan Bayi. He didn't want to make money with peace of mind.

Brother, we shouldn't have terminated Fan Bayi's contract in the first place, we should have hidden her until the contract expired. "

In the office of Huayi President, Wang Zhonglei walked around with an angry face.

Behind the desk, Wang Zhongjun put away the antique calligraphy and paintings with a calm expression, "Fan Bayi used Zhou Xun to terminate the contract with the company, and the company has not lost money, so why should she be hidden in the snow!"

"But she's going to open a company now! Brother, believe it or not, as soon as I go out, Li Bailian will definitely come to me to talk about opening a company!"

"If she wants to open it, let her open it. Only when Fan Bayi lets Wan Qingshan take a stake can her Fanfan company be opened.

If Li Bailian, like Fan Bayi, agrees to let Huayi invest in her company, then I will not stop her and support her in starting a company. "

Wang Zhonglei suddenly stopped and looked at Wang Zhongjun in disbelief.
"Brother, what did you just say?"

"I said, if Li Bailian is willing to let Huayi take a stake, then we can peacefully terminate the contract with her and support her in starting a company!"

When Wang Zhongjun saw Wang Zhonglei, he still had an expression of disbelief. He sighed in his heart and said with hatred for iron,

"Zhong Lei, don't be idle every day. Please pay more attention to the development process of Hollywood and Hong Kong Island's film and television industry.

The film and television industry has developed to a certain stage, and capable and ambitious celebrities will start companies.I thought it would take a few years for celebrity artists to open a company, but I didn't expect Fan Bayi and Wan Qingshan to advance this matter a few years.

After Fan Bayi and Wan Qingshan took the lead, they could not be stopped, because this was the general trend. If Huayi dared to stop it, it would be like the previous Shaw Brothers movies in Hong Kong, where all the artists were exposed and fell quickly. "

Wang Zhonglei was stunned for a moment and said in shock, "Brother, then Li Bailian and the others can all leave! Even Feng Xiaogang can leave."

"They are not leaving, they will become Huayi's 'satellite companies'. Just like in the Hong Kong film and television industry in the past, Golden Harvest had a bunch of 'satellite companies'.

As for Feng Xiaogang, don't worry, he can't open a company.He and Zhang Guoli opened a company together before, but they came back because they couldn't handle the company's affairs. "

Wang Zhonglei's demeanor suddenly became relaxed. Although he was dissatisfied with the fact that Feng Xiaogang could take away Huayi's shares as soon as he came in and out, he also knew that Huayi could not do without Feng Xiaogang now.

Immediately, Wang Zhonglei asked with a straight face, "Brother, then we just don't do anything?"

Wang Zhongjun suddenly frowned, scolded with a straight face, "What, what do you want to do? Wan Qingshan is hooking up with someone now.

Someone supports him.What else do you want to do? Do you want to bring Huayi down? "

When Wang Zhongjun got angry, Wang Zhonglei suddenly wilted like an eggplant beaten by frost and did not dare to say anything.

People in the film and television industry are not stupid. Wang Zhongjun can see it, and people like Wu Kebo can also see it.

Even if you hate Wan Qingshan and Fan Bayi, they have figured out the model for celebrities to start a company a few years in advance.But they all knew about Tang Jianli's obvious preference for Wanqingshan.

Therefore, they could only sigh and couldn't do anything.Three days later, the New Year's Day holiday came, and Chen Yumo flew to Beijing from Shenzhen.

Then, Wan Qingshan took Chen Yumo to attend the ribbon cutting of Fanfan Company.

Fan Bayi put a lot of effort into the ribbon-cutting ceremony of Fanfan Company. He invited many journalists and celebrities, and even shamelessly invited people from Huayi and [-] Brokerage Companies.

Wan Qingshan has always regarded Fanfan Company as Fan Bayi's company, not his company, so when faced with Fan Bayi's invitation to stand in the middle and cut the ribbon, he repeatedly refused.

With Wan Qingshan standing aside and Fan Bayi standing in the C seat cutting the ribbon, everyone went to the hotel nearby to celebrate.

"Director Wan, I don't know if it's inconvenient for you. I have something I want to talk to you about."

Wan Qingshan, who was laughing and chatting with Chen Yumo, heard this voice and looked up at Chen Kun, who had just walked over with a wine glass in his hand.

When Wan Qingshan was about to talk, Chen Yumo suddenly stood up and said, "You guys chat, I'll get something."

As Chen Yumo left, Chen Kun sat down opposite Wanqing Mountain.

"Director Wan, I'm sorry to interrupt your chat with Miss Chen."

"Haha, it's okay. Chen Kun, what did you want to talk to me about?"

Chen Kun looked around with the corner of his eyes. Then, he moved his buttocks, leaned forward, and stared at Wang Qingshan closely.
"Director Wan, I want to ask you, if I want to be like Miss Fan and come out to cooperate with you to open a company, I don't know if you think highly of me."

Wan Qingshan's heart trembled. Unexpectedly, Chen Kun actually wanted to start a company now.

Chen Kun and Zhou Xun are different. Zhou Xun is more ambitious about his career, while Rong Xinda left Rong Xinda because he had no film resources.

Chen Kun is a bit career-minded, but also a bit Buddhist, and he won't leave if he doesn't have any film resources.In his original life, he kept renewing his contract with Rong Xinda. The contract was renewed until 2010, before Chen Kun left Rong Xinda.
"It's passed, it's been passed, Chen Kun, with your reputation, how can you say that you don't like it?"

Chen Kun smiled coquettishly, "So, Director Wan, what do you think about me wanting to start a company with you?"

Wan Qingshan thought silently for a moment and asked, "Chen Kun, can I ask you why you want to leave Rong Xinda? With your temperament, you probably don't want to leave Rong Xinda just to save some commissions and film resources. !”

Chen Kun hesitated for a moment, then he picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine, "Director Wan, I won't hide it from you. The main reason why I want to leave is because there are some problems within the company.

The two bosses had some conflicts due to Zhou Xun's termination of the contract.

Now that the company is preparing to shoot a new movie, the conflict between the two bosses has become even greater due to differences in work.

If there is a problem within the company, it will naturally affect the work of us artists. Originally, I planned to endure it and let it go.

But when I saw Miss Fan cooperating with you to start a company, I thought, I might as well start a company, which would give me more freedom. "

Wan Qingshan suddenly felt enlightened!
In later generations, the saying "The termination of Rong Xinda's contract will lead to a fire" is very popular, but few people pay attention to why Rong Xinda, who has produced many high-quality TV series, declined.

Those who paid attention also said that it was because Li Xiaowan insisted on favoring her son that the artists left one after another and declined.

However, Wan Qingshan thinks this is all nonsense, and Rong Xinda is not the only one who is Li Xiaowan. When trying to flatter her son, causing great harm to the company, it is impossible for Li Shaohong not to stop him.

After listening to Chen Kun saying that the company was preparing to film "New", Wan Qingshan thought again that since "New", Rong Xinda had started to go downhill and gradually declined without any struggle in the middle.

The fundamental reason is that the two bosses have conflicts.

Wan Qingshan thought for a moment and said, "If you want to jointly open a company with me, of course I am willing. However, there are some things you don't know. I have to tell you first, and then you can decide whether to cooperate with me or not."

Chen Kun immediately sat up straight and said, "Director Wan, tell me!"

Chen Kun frowned when he heard Wan Qingshan say that when he cooperated with Fan Bayi, he would not have to pay anything but would take part of the shares!
I heard again that Wan Qingshan couldn't give him any resources. He would only give them roles in his movies if they were suitable, and he would also send financial officers to the company to keep an eye on the company's finances.Chen Kun frowned and almost knitted his brows into a ball.

"Director Wan, I may need to think about it carefully."

Wan Qingshan knew that Chen Kun said he was considering it, but in fact he refused.If he really just thought about it, Chen Kun wouldn't have answered right after he finished speaking.

"Of course, you think about it slowly."

"Director Wan, I'm sorry, I'm going to disturb you first."

Looking at Chen Kun's leaving figure, Wan Qingshan couldn't help but sigh in a low voice, "These artists really have to thank Fan Bayi. Without Fan Bayi, they would have wanted to start a company, but they wouldn't have much confidence to negotiate terms."

At this time, Chen Yumo, who had been paying attention to the conversation between Wan Qingshan and Chen Kun, came over and said, "What were you talking about just now."

"It's nothing, he just wants to start a company. Okay, let's not talk about work. Let's go to Nortel for a walk later. After you left school, I rarely go to Nortel."

"Okay, I haven't gone back to school for a long time. I really miss school life. After school, let's go to the Chinese Opera. I've been at Nortel for so many years and I haven't been there yet. It’s a Chinese drama.”

When Wan Qingshan and Chen Yumo were planning their schedule for the next two days, Huayi's vice president Xu Li came over.

When Chen Yumo saw her, she wanted to get up and leave as before, but found that Wan Qingshan was holding her shoulders and preventing her from leaving.

When Chen Yumo saw this, a happy smile appeared on his face and he leaned back with peace of mind.

"Director Wan, can I sit down here?"

"Ms. Xu, I'm just a guest. You can sit wherever you like."

Xu Li smiled and sat down opposite Wanqing Mountain.

Then she waited for a while and saw that Wan Qingshan acted as if she didn't exist and continued to discuss with Chen Yumo where to go the day after tomorrow.

She frowned and said with a smile, "Director Wan, Miss Chen, your relationship is so good, I can't help but envy you two."

"Ms. Xu, we have a good relationship outside. But behind closed doors, we will get angry with each other."

Xu Li was stunned for a moment, then laughed dryly and said, "Haha, Director Wan, you are really..."

She thought about the next word before saying, "Funny!"

Wan Qingshan smiled.Then, in order to change the topic, he randomly changed the topic.

"Mr. Xu, this year, no, it was last year. In October last year, I saw news reports that the island country copyright of Director Feng's "The Night Banquet" had been sold. I don't know when "The Night Banquet" will be released. I have been I want to see Director Feng’s costume blockbusters.”

Xu Li's eyelids twitched slightly!

After she returned from the island country, she learned that it was the news that Wan Qingshan was more suitable for the three major directors than Feng Xiaogang that Wang Zhongjun urged her to sell the island country copyright of "The Night Banquet" for US$500 million, which was less than the bottom line price of US$450 million. .

Now that Wan Qingshan mentioned "The Night Banquet" in front of her, Xu Li felt very uncomfortable!
Xu Li suppressed the messy thoughts in his heart and said with a smile, "The filming of "The Night Banquet" has not been completed yet. When will it be released? We have to wait and see when Director Feng finishes filming before we can determine the release time."

"As expected of Director Feng, the copyright was sold before the filming of the movie was completed. I can't achieve this kind of appeal."

"Haha, Director Wan, you are joking. Director Feng is also taking advantage of the subject matter. Director Wan, if you tell the outside world that your next movie will be a costume blockbuster, I think you don't even need to prepare a script, and there will be companies in Japan and South Korea. Come to buy movie rights."

Wan Qingshan curled his lips secretly, not to mention that he couldn't make a costume blockbuster for the time being, even if he could, he wouldn't do it.

At this time, you would be a fool to shoot a costume blockbuster.One "The Promise" and one "The Banquet" have made foreign film and television companies no longer willing to buy them, except for Chinese costume blockbusters shot by Zhang Yimou.

After Xu Li finished speaking, he didn't want to chat anymore and changed the subject to serious matters.

"Director Wan, I don't know when you will have time. Our king always wants to ask you to meet and talk."

A trace of surprise flashed across Wan Qingshan's face!
Wang Zhongjun actually wanted to talk to him. What did he and Wang Zhongjun have to talk about?

After Wan Qingshan cursed in his heart, he thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Xu, I may not have much time recently. I will be going home in two days. In the past two years, I have been busy outside and rarely come home.

Therefore, I plan to spend time with my family.If your Majesty is not afraid of delaying things, then we can make an appointment to meet at the end of February. I have just returned from Berlin at that time, so I should have time. "

"No problem, Mr. Wang said, it can be done anytime. Director Wan, then I will reply to Mr. Wang at the end of February."

Wan Qingshan's eyes flashed with surprise. It was only January now. He set the date at the end of February and made it clear that he wanted Xu Li to quit before the difficulties. Unexpectedly, Xu Li agreed.

"Director Wan, I have completed what Mr. Wang told me, so I won't disturb you and Miss Chen."

Watching Xu Li stand up and leave, Wan Qingshan cursed in his heart, "Wang Zhongjun, what on earth are you talking about!"
