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

Chapter 85 Light Media
"Qingshan, didn't you go to the celebration banquet? Why are you back so soon?"

Chen Yumo, who was lying on the sofa watching TV, felt a little strange when he saw Wan Qingshan coming back.

"It's not interesting, just come back early."

Wan Qingshan said, sitting on the sofa, grabbing Chen Yumo's hand and playing with it.

Seeing that something was wrong with Wan Qingshan's expression, Chen Yumo moved his body, rested his head on Wan Qingshan's legs, looked at Wan Qingshan's chin, and asked softly,
"Qingshan, what happened?"

Wan Qingshan hesitated for a moment, then forced a smile and said, "It's nothing, I just missed an opportunity to make money."

After Han Sanping left the box, Wan Qingshan thought for a long time in the box, wondering about the attitude of his replacement, Ning Hua.

Finally, after much deliberation, Wan Qingshan wondered why he was thinking so much. He would just go and test Ning Xiao and he would know.

That's why he asked Ning Hua to make a movie.

Ning Hua said he had no idea.But Wan Qingshan, who had been paying attention to Ning Hua's expression, knew that Ning Hua already had ideas for the next movie, but he just didn't want to take him with him.

Although he originally invested in Ning Hua, Wan Qingshan was motivated by utilitarianism.

But as the saying goes, no one is perfect at heart.

As far as the matter is concerned, when Ning Hua was filming "Green Grass", Wan Qingshan invested in it, and later paid [-] yuan in director fees and script fees.

When filming "Crazy Diamond", Wan Qingshan was worried that Ning Hua would think he was making too little money after the box office hit, so he gave Ning Hua two options to choose from.

Not to mention the treatment Wan Qingshan gave Ning Hua.

Let's just say that "Green Grass" was invested by Wan Qingshan, half of "Crazy Diamond" was invested by Wan Qingshan, and half of the investment by China Film was brought in by Wan Qingshan. Otherwise, Ning Hua himself would not be able to talk to Han Sanping.

All in all, Wanqingshan can be said to be Ning Hua's boss.

But Ning spent the next movie without him, which was hard for Wan Qingshan to accept.

So later Wan Qingshan specifically said, remember to think of him in the next movie.

But he was still rejected by Ning Hua, which made Wan Qingshan confused. He thought he was good to Ning Hua.

Even if Ning Hua makes more money for the next movie, we can still discuss the investment share. Why refuse even if we don’t discuss it?

When he heard that he was depressed because of making money, Chen Yumo threw a hygienic eye at Wanqingshan.

"That's it. You can't make enough money. If you miss it, you'll miss it."

"Yeah, I got distracted for a moment." Wan Qingshan forced a smile.

After watching TV for a while while lying on Wanqingshan's lap, Chen Yumo suddenly thought of something.

"Qingshan, you should be fine by the end of the year."

"It's okay, what?"

"Then after the school holidays, we will go to your house." Chen Yumo said with a slightly red face.

Wan Qingshan was stunned for a moment and said in shock, "Hmm! Why, the ugly daughter-in-law can't wait to meet her parents-in-law."

"What an ugly daughter-in-law, you went to my house last year, so of course I should go to your house. And I have to go home to work next year, so I won't have so much time in the future."

Wan Qingshan took a breath and said quickly, "I'm not an ugly daughter-in-law, I'm not an ugly daughter-in-law, let go, let go."

Seeing Wan Qingshan begging for mercy, Chen Yumo let go and took his hand out of Wan Qingshan's clothes.

Wan Qingshan immediately lifted up Chen Yumo, stood up and lifted up his clothes, only to see a red patch on his belly caused by Chen Yumo.

"You are really cruel."

"Hmph, who told you to call me ugly?"

"It's just ugly."

After Wan Qingshan finished speaking, he turned around and ran back to the room. Upon seeing this, Chen Yumo immediately got up and chased after him.

Wan Qingshan and Chen Yumo went to bed while fighting.

The next day, after Wan Qingshan had breakfast and drove Chen Yumo to school, he suddenly remembered what he had promised others.

When he was about to drive to Han Sanping, his cell phone rang suddenly.

After being connected, Wan Qingshan heard the first words coming from the phone. It took a while before Wan Qingshan said,

"I agree. Just give your resignation letter to Chen Chen."

After hanging up the phone, Wan Qingshan cursed angrily, "Fuck!"

Then, after a while, the phone rang again, and Wan Qingshan saw that it belonged to Sun Yao.

After answering the phone, Wan Qingshan's first sentence was,
"Are you going to resign like those two?"

"No, Director Wan, I'm asking you, if those two people resigned, will you hire an editor?

If you are recruiting, I would like to recommend two people to you. They are my senior sisters from the Nortel Literature Department and they have very good literary skills. "

Wan Qingshan felt much better immediately and said with a smile, "Here, you tell them that the conditions are the same as those of the two people. If they are willing, you can bring them to the company tomorrow.

Also, you will be the head of the screenwriting team from now on, and your monthly salary will double from now on. "

"Hey, Director Wan, look, I didn't resign and you want to give me a salary increase, and you don't need to make me a team leader. Apart from you and Sister Chen, I am the only one in our company. As a team leader, I can only look after myself."

"Aren't your two senior sisters joining us tomorrow?"

"There are only three of them, and they are all my senior sisters. How can I be the leader of this team?"

"Then do you want a salary increase?"

"Yes, of course."

"Then you will be the team leader. Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I have something else to do."

"Then Director Wan, bye."

After hanging up the phone, Wan Qingshan drove to China Film Studio to find Han Sanping.

Han Sanping was a little surprised when he saw Wan Qingshan. We just talked with him last night, why did he come to see him again today.

"Qingshan, why did you come to see me?" "Director Han, "Crazy Diamond" has been released. I would like to ask how long it will take for the theater chain to settle the bill."

"It will probably take a month anyway. Why, are you in a hurry for money?"

"Ah."

Han Sanping thought silently for a moment, "Most of the box office of "Crazy Diamond" is in the Chinese theater chain. Since you are in a hurry to spend money, then I will ask the Chinese theater chain to seize the time to settle the money. When the time comes, I will advance your share first. for you."

"Director Han, thank you. I'm really in a hurry."

"It's okay, it's all small things."

Afterwards, Wan Qingshan and Han Sanping chatted for a few words and left China Film.

As soon as he left China Film Academy, Wan Qingshan received a call from Wang Changtian, asking him to have lunch.

Wan Qingshan guessed that Wang Changtian came to him for dinner because he wanted to cooperate with him just like other film and television companies.

Last night, after knowing from Han Sanping that China Film Group would not help him, Wan Qingshan was thinking about who to find as a partner. He would not be able to survive alone.

After much deliberation, his No. 1 choice was Enlight Media.

Compared with the film and television companies that approached him before, although Enlight Media's main business is now in TV programs, once it makes efforts in the film industry, it will not be comparable to those film and television companies.

At yesterday's celebration banquet, Han Sanping led Yu Dong to greet him.

Wan Qingshan understood that although Han Sanping no longer helped him, he had found someone for him, and that was Yu Dong from Bona.

Bona is very powerful, and Bona's publicity ability is one of the best in the industry.

But compared to Dong, Wan Qingshan was more willing to cooperate with Wang Changtian.

Although Wang Changtian had many problems, he was stingy and refused to give shares to the hero Zhang Zhao, which caused Zhang Zhao to run away.

Enlight Media invested in many vulgar movies in the future and used unscrupulous means to compete in publicity and distribution.

For the box office of "Painting on the Wall", the sentence "The White Snake of Zhao Yazhi comes from heaven to earth, and the white snake of Huang Shengyi comes from heaven and earth" from "The Legend of White Snake" in the same period made Yang Zi fly into a rage.

However, in Wan Qingshan's view, Wang Changtian's stinginess is an internal matter within the company and does not affect cooperation.

As for investing in vulgar dramas, as long as you can make money, why not invest in it?The purpose of running a company is to make money. No company dares to say that the money they make is clean money.

From Wan Qingshan's point of view, the competition in publicity and distribution is completely normal. Which film and television company has not hacked its opponents? It's just that Enlight Media was caught for not being secretive enough.

Compared with Yu Dong, who will make money from the patriotism of the Chinese people while making movies with main theme in the future, while cashing in on emigrating overseas, Wang Changtian has a better affinity with Wan Qingshan.

So facing Wang Changtian's invitation, Wan Qingshan agreed to attend the appointment.

At noon, Wan Qingshan met Wang Changtian and another person in a hotel box.

"Director Wan, this is Zhang Zhao, the president of Enlight Pictures under Enlight Media."

"Zhang Zhao, Director Wan, I don't need to introduce you."

"Whoever works in the film and television industry doesn't know Director Wan."

Wan Qingshan stretched out his hand and shook it. This was the hand of the "white knight" who would later leave Enlight Pictures due to Wang Changtian's stinginess and was recruited by Jia Yueting to establish LeTV Pictures, the "white knight" of LeTV Corporation.

"Mr. Zhang is joking, I am only slightly famous."

"Director Wan, if you are somewhat famous, almost no one in that circle will be famous." Wang Changtian said with a flattering smile.

After the three of them exchanged a few polite words, Wang Changtian called the waiter to take orders.

During the meal, Wang Changtian and Zhang Zhao did not mention any topic of cooperation and kept praising the three films made by Wan Qingshan.

When the three of them were full and put down their chopsticks one after another, Wang Changtian got to the point.

"Director Wan, there must be a lot of film and television companies looking for you these days, and I won't beat around the bush with you.

Although Enlight Pictures was just established this year, it is backed by Enlight Media and is still very powerful in film promotion and distribution, so I want to have in-depth cooperation with Director Wan. "

"Mr. Wang, since you don't beat around the bush, I'll speak out. There are many film and television companies looking for me to cooperate, but they don't have much strength. I can go to the appointment because I fancy the strength of Enlight Media.

But I want to ask Mr. Wang, what is in-depth cooperation? "

Wang Changtian was surprised and happy.

Joy, Wanqingshan intends to cooperate with Enlight Media!
Surprisingly, before he even put in the effort, Wan Qingshan was willing to leave China Film and Television and cooperate with Enlight Media.

"Director Wan, the in-depth cooperation I'm talking about is that we sign a contract and agree that within a few years, you will shoot several movies, and Enlight Pictures will take half of the investment. At the same time, Enlight Pictures will also handle the publicity and distribution.

Of course, I won’t let Director Wan sign the contract in vain. I am willing to pay a signing fee of 500 million.When the contract time is up, we can renew the contract. "

Wang Changtian wanted to sign Wan Qingshan to Enlight Pictures, but what he learned made him know that Wan Qingshan had a gambling habit.

Wan Qingshan is not like Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou, who are only willing to pay expensive director fees.Qingshan Film and Television Company has invested in all three of his films and holds the leading rights.

That's why Wang Changtian made this condition.

Wan Qingshan was very surprised. This condition would not matter in the future, but now, the condition Wang Changtian offered him was the only one in the industry.

"Mr. Wang, I am a little flattered by the conditions you have offered."

"Haha, Director Wan, I think if we all make money together, we can go further."

"That's right. I can't refuse the offer you made, Mr. Wang.

It’s just that it’s hard to discuss the specific details of the contract at the dinner table. I’ll go to Enlight Pictures to see you tomorrow and we’ll discuss it in detail, okay? "

Seeing that Wan Qingshan readily agreed, Wang Changtian couldn't hide the joy in his heart. He said with a smile on his face,

"No problem. If it's inconvenient for Director Wan, I can also go to Director Wan's company to talk."

"It's no inconvenience. I'll go see Mr. Wang tomorrow morning."

"Okay, then Zhang Zhao and I will wait for Director Wan at Enlight Pictures."

Casually, the three of them chatted about the film and television industry for a while. Finally, Wan Qingshan and Zhang Zhao exchanged business cards and left.
