Chapter 110 box office 3000 million!Wang Zhonglei was slapped in the face! (Please subscribe!)

Director, actor.

Just one word difference, but their status in the circle is completely different.

If Lin Xuan is just an actor, then the more popular he is, the greater the resistance in the industry will be because you are taking away other people's jobs.

But if he were still a director, the situation would be different.

There will be more and more people fawning over him, because actors can only make themselves famous, but directors can make a bunch of people famous.

Lin Xuan's prediction was wrong, and his cell phone did not stop for four hours.

It wasn't until Fan Xiaopang almost fell asleep while sitting at the dining table waiting that he hung up the phone and turned off the phone.

When you become a director, your treatment is indeed different.

Fan Xiaopang, who usually loves to eat and is lazy, will also take the initiative to cook for him.

After dinner, Lin Xuan didn't need to wash the dishes. He ate fruit and watched TV, just like a grandfather.

Fan Xiaopang put on an apron and happily washed dishes in the kitchen, humming a song.

…………

The next day, the single-day box office of "Adult Style of Love" exceeded 300 million!
The media and newspapers began to report wildly, and various titles were placed on Lin Xuan's head.

What about "a rising star in the mainland film industry", "a talented director", "the youngest director with a box office of over [-] million"...

The fermentation of word-of-mouth, coupled with the bombardment of media reports, once again boosted the film's box office performance.

Even on the Internet, there are many discussion posts about the plot.

Many people said they couldn't understand it, and the movie ended suddenly at the end.

Some people said they understood it, but they didn't know the complete timeline of the story.

There are also some die-hards who firmly believe that the last minute is all the protagonist's fantasy, because he was seen falling asleep at the woman's house at the time.

Several groups of people said something to each other, and the level of the posts became higher and higher.

Many netizens who came in were confused. After being amwayed, they also went to watch the movie, and then came back to discuss it together.

Three days after its release, a prominent figure appeared on an online forum and finally calmed the debate somewhat.

The boss claimed to have watched the movie five times and didn't understand it the first time. From the second time, he took his notebook to the cinema.

He recorded all the time and place actions in the movie.

In addition, he also found out all the foreshadowing left by Lin Xuan.

He compiled the final results into a table and posted it on the forum.

The form was written in great detail, and two timelines were compared, attracting countless netizens to watch.

After reading it, they were so impressed that the boss was so awesome and so idle.

On the ninth day of release, the movie's box office exceeded 2000 million.

The media went even crazier, and interview invitations flew into Wang Jinhua's hands like flakes.

Lin Xuan is also going crazy. He has been living these days more accurately than the clock.

Every day when he opens his eyes, there are a lot of interviews with media reporters waiting for him, and even CCTV comes to join in the fun.

These media came from all over the world, and there were many places that Lin Xuan had never heard of in his entire life.

This was a good opportunity to expand his reputation. Wang Jinhua directly gave him interviews from more than a dozen magazines, media, newspapers, and TV stations.

During the interviews for several days, Lin Xuan talked so much that his lips became thin.

When the box office exceeded 2000 million, an "evil" media revealed that Wang Zhonglei had laughed at Lin Xuan.

Huayi suddenly became a laughing stock both inside and outside the circle.

A movie with a box office potential of 3000 million has been criticized as worthless by you.

With this vision, you still have the nerve to open a film and television company, so just go to sleep.

Beijing, Huayi Company Building.

"Snapped!"

A stack of newspapers was slammed onto the desk.

Wang Zhonglei was furious, patted the table and said: "Whose newspaper is this? Someone must be messing with us behind the scenes!"

There are so many film and television companies in the mainland, and Huayi is the most popular.

Now we finally have the opportunity. Other companies do not need to join forces and start to blackmail Huayi spontaneously.

The key thing is that Huayi doesn't care about it, saying that Potian is also blind to him.

Wang Zhongjun read the contents of the newspaper and said casually:

"Ignore them, they are just clowns. When Xiaogang's movie is released, Huayi will still be Huayi, the sky will not fall."

After saying that, he looked at Wang Zhonglei and said: "Every time you learn something, you gain wisdom. This incident will also teach you a lesson.

No matter how much you look down on someone, some words should be buried in your heart. Don't yell around after drinking. "

Wang Zhonglei is really arrogant. When Lin Xuan said he wanted to make a movie, all the media were ridiculing him.

Now that his movie is a hit at the box office, no matter how hard it is, all the shit is being dumped on his head.

I have forgotten what the media said before.

Wang Zhongjun looked at the words 2000 million in the newspaper and said:
"Depending on the increase, there should be no problem with the final box office exceeding 3000 million. What does Wang Jinhua say? Has Lin Xuan not signed the contract yet?"

The negotiations between Wang Jinhua and Huayi are almost complete.

It will be announced by the end of the year at the latest that the two companies will engage in in-depth cooperation.

Hearing this, Wang Zhonglei shook his head and said: "No, I said I have to wait for the final box office results.

Huh, the villain is greedy and greedy, he just wants a good contract. "

“This matter cannot wait any longer, we must sign a contract with him immediately.

Although Wang Jinhua temporarily trapped him with the interview notice, other people will definitely find ways to contact him, and it will be bad if he is preempted. "

Wang Zhonglei also realized that the matter was a bit serious and asked: "What should I do? I can go and hurry up?"

"Forget it, he doesn't have a good impression of you, I'll go in person."

Wang Zhonglei looked unhappy and asked again: "But Lin Xuan is determined to wait for the final box office results to be released before discussing the new contract. There is no point in going there in person, brother."

“The reason why he did this was that he was sure that the movie’s box office would exceed 3000 million.

Then we will negotiate with him based on the box office performance of 3000 million. No, we will negotiate with him based on the box office performance of 3500 million. "

"Would this be too cheap for him?"

"You, you have to take a long-term view when doing things."......

Thirteen days after the movie was released, the box office performance finally began to decline.

People in the industry finally breathed a sigh of relief. If it keeps rising like this, even 4000 million won’t be able to stop it.

Lin Xuan, who was at the center of public opinion, was in a private room of a restaurant in Beijing.

There were only three people in the huge box: Lin Xuan, Wang Jinhua, and Wang Zhongjun.

"Lin Xuan, congratulations. Your first movie was a hit, and you will become a famous director in the industry." Wang Zhongjun stood up and poured the wine himself.

"Mr. Wang, you're welcome. It's just a small achievement. It's still incomparable to a great director like Director Feng."

"Zhong Lei has an upright personality and doesn't know what to say. Don't worry about it. I have already criticized him."

Wang Zhongjun was not angry at all.

He has a way of getting along with people, especially those who are capable and talented.

This type of person thinks very highly of himself and doesn't have a good temper, but he can tolerate it as long as the cooperation between the two parties is profitable.

After tasting half a glass of wine and eating a few bites of food, Wang Jinhua opened her mouth and went straight to the topic.

"Lin Xuan, you also know that Mr. Wang and I are going to cooperate at the end of the year.

Everyone in the company has decided to follow me, now it depends on your attitude. "

Wang Jinhua was very kind to him and helped him a lot, so it was impossible for Lin Xuan to break up with her.

On the one hand, he repays his kindness, but on the other hand, no one likes White Eyed Wolf.

If he leaves as soon as he becomes famous, his reputation in the industry will be ruined, and his image outside the industry will be seriously damaged.

Therefore, whether in public or private matters, he would follow Wang Jinhua into Huayi.

But he also has to think about himself, so he has delayed the contract until now, just to strive for a condition that satisfies both parties.

Lin Xuan said: "Okay, the matter has dragged on for so long, it's time to resolve it. Sister Hua, Mr. Wang, how do you want to sign the new contract?"

The two looked at each other, and finally Wang Jinhua said: "The actor's appointment, the manager's appointment, you and the company have an 8:2 score.

The director's contract is also signed with the company, and the company has priority investment rights.

If you are a director, the company gives you a 5% profit sharing ratio, and the screenwriter adds 2%.

If you're a starring role, it's based on your salary. If you want to invest personally, it'll be extra.

The contract was signed for eight years and the liquidated damages were 5000 million.

In addition, the company also has many benefits, including two assistants, five bodyguards, and..."

Lin Xuan listened to the contents of the contract and thought that this contract was not bad, much more refreshing than the last time.

After the first day's box office came out, Wang Jinhua wanted to sign a contract with him, but the conditions were much worse than this time.

This contract should be written by Wang Zhongjun.

Although Sister Hua is a nice person, she only focuses on the immediate future when looking at problems and interests.

Before coming, he also analyzed the needs and discussion points of both parties.

What Huayi and Wang Jinhua want here is his people.

With Lin Xuan, a super-popular actor and a director with a box office worth millions joining the cast, Huayi's strength can be greatly enhanced.

Moreover, he can act, write, and make movies, so there will be many ways to make money in the future.

For Lin Xuan, first he wants to change the share ratio of actor contracts and manager contracts.

At first, his bottom line was 2000-3000. As the box office exceeded 28 million and the target was [-] million, his psychological expectation was raised to [-].

Both families have a tacit understanding on this point.

As for the director's contract, there's no problem signing it with Huayi.

The share-sharing is fairly generous, as you can take up 7% of the investment without investing even a penny.

As for benefits, no one cares at all.

Even if he is not a director, a popular niche student of his level can still enjoy such treatment.

After hearing the full contents of the contract, Lin Xuan said: "Sister Hua, I am quite satisfied with the contract."

Hearing this, the two people opposite smiled, but he continued: "There are two points that need to be changed. The first is that the contract period is too long.

Your cooperation is only for five years. If I sign for eight years, it is too long. I will change it to five years. After five years, I will decide whether to renew the contract based on the cooperation situation. "

Hearing this, Wang Jinhua turned her attention to Wang Zhongjun.

Wang Zhongjun nodded and said: "Okay!"

He is very optimistic about the cooperation between the two companies.

On one side is the leader of mainland film and television companies, and on the other is the number one agent in mainland China.

In five years, Huayi will definitely grow into the sole dominant player in the mainland film and television industry.

Lin Xuan will definitely renew his contract by then.

“The second point is that I am going to open a personal studio and then join Huayi in the name of the studio.

It doesn’t mean anything else, it’s mainly a tax issue. There is a huge difference between personal tax and corporate tax.

And after making money, I also want to do some investment business. It is much more convenient to have a company. "

In 2000, I wanted to open an artist studio, which was considered a Scorpion's only choice.

Both of them were fooled by Lin Xuan's request.

I wanted to refuse, but I couldn't find a reason.

Because his appeal is very reasonable and is just for legal tax avoidance.

His actions did not harm Huayi's interests, but were mainly about issues of status and control.

When Lin Xuan joins Huayi, one of them is the boss and the other is an employee.

When the studio joins Huayi, both parties have an equal partnership.

After saying the two requests, Lin Xuan continued to eat, leaving time for them to think slowly.

Wang Zhongjun frowned and discussed in a low voice with Wang Jinhua, carefully analyzing the pros and cons of this matter.

The two discussed for a long time, then looked up at Lin Xuan with an indifferent expression.

It seems that he will not let up on this matter.

After a long silence, the two nodded in agreement!
