China Entertainment Times

Chapter 51

2005, mid-September.

The domestic film market has entered a period of low tide, and only 4 new films were released in January. The current daily box office champion is still occupied by "Kung Fu", which has been released for more than 20 days, and still has a box office of about 40 in a single day.

Enough filming, no audience!
Such is the case!
And this is also the time for major companies to conduct year-end inventory, counting the revenue and profits of the past year.

Find ways to work together to avoid taxes, and analyze the gains and losses of the past year.

Those investments were successful, why they were successful, and what factors were there!
Those who lost money, is it luck or necessity?
As the first echelon film and television company in China, Huayi participated in the investment and distribution of many films this year.

"Kung Fu" and "A World Without Thieves" were two box office hits, both of which were invested and released by Huayi, making a lot of money.

Chairman Wang Zhongjun was looking at the financial statement in the office, and the strings of numbers on it obviously put him in a good mood.

"Boom boom boom!"

The knock on the door disturbed Wang Zhongjun's thoughts, he put down the report, took a sip of tea, leaned on the boss chair, "Come in!"

The person who came was Zhao Jun, the vice president of Huayi Production Department, and he reported to Wang Zhongjun as soon as he entered the door, "Wang Dong, there is news about Tang An's project!"

"Oh, tell me!" Wang Zhongjun's eyes lit up and he nodded.

"It's already confirmed that it's a horror movie, but only Director Han and Lin Sheng from the distribution department have read the script, and Optoelectronics has not approved a project!" Zhao Jun answered truthfully.

"What does Director Han mean?" Wang Zhongjun asked.

"I have already greeted the production department, the crew is being formed, and the logistics department is also preparing equipment!"

"That means Director Han is more satisfied with the script?" Wang Zhongjun clasped his hands in front of his lower abdomen and nodded slightly.

"It should be right. Lin Sheng also praised the script very much, but he didn't reveal the details to anyone!" Zhao Junhe said.

Although the vice president of Tangtang Huayi's production department was rejected by a new director who had only made one movie, Zhao Jun would not make bad things about Tang An just because of this.

Back then, in order to lure Lu Chuan from China Film Group, Wang Zhongjun set up a director's studio for him, all of whom were first-class professionals in the industry, which shows how much he attaches importance to it.

Only Feng Xiaogang, Teng Huatao, and Lu Xuezhang can enjoy this kind of treatment.

But now that Lu Chuan's movie failed at the box office in the mainland, in order to win Tang An over, he actually persuaded Lu Chuan to apologize to Tang An in private, which was more important than Lu Chuan at the beginning.

Although Zhao Jun is the deputy director of the production department, he really has no control over these four directors, and he can only hold back any dissatisfaction in his heart.

Wang Zhongjun pondered for a moment and asked, "Are you sure you haven't approved the project yet?"

"I just came from Optoelectronics, it's true!" Zhao Jun replied immediately.

"Do you have Tang An's phone number?"

"Yes." Zhao Jun said in a daze.

"Ask him to meet for me!"

"Good Mr. Wang!"

Zhao Jun didn't ask any more questions, and took out his mobile phone to call Tang An.

"Hey, Director Tang, I'm Zhao Jun from Huayi."

Zhao Jun hung up the phone, "He said he would arrive around 10 o'clock!"

"Alright then, go get busy!" Wang Zhongjun waved his hand.

Then Wang Zhongjun made a phone call, and 10 minutes later the secretary came in with a stack of documents.

But Tang An, who was far away in the studio at this time, was at a loss.

"This Zhao Jun is not here to win me over again, is he? His attitude was so obvious last time, so he really doesn't give up!"

"Whatever they are going to do, you will know if you go and meet them!" Xu Ruoyun bowed her head and went to work after finishing speaking.

"It's not a hotel, I went directly to Huayi, probably Zhao Jun is not looking for me!"

"That's fine, I'll go there, you can have lunch by yourself!"

Tang An put down his work, went out, took a taxi, and went straight to Huayi.

No matter how Hua Yi persuades him now, Tang An will not join. Even Feng Xiaogang's degree of freedom is not high now, he can only make Hua Yi's movies, and he is not allowed to take on other companies' movies.

But he's better, at least it's his own project, and he won't accept foreign films.

The directors with the most freedom in China now are only Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige. Zhang Weiping did not sign any contract in order to tie Zhang Yimou to the new screen. As long as Zhang Yimou is willing, he can leave at any time.

The capital city during this period was not considered congested, and it took less than an hour to arrive.

Explain the purpose of coming to the front desk, and someone will immediately lead the way respectfully.

As the end of the new year approaches, the entire company is very fast-paced, as if everyone wants to get things done in a hurry so that they can have a holiday earlier.

"Director Tang, Director Wang is waiting for you inside!"

The girl at the front desk took Tang An to the chairman's office, knocked on the door and waited for him to go in, then took him from the outside.

"Hi, Dong Wang!"

No matter what Wang Zhongjun's intentions were, the other party was a big boss in the entertainment industry, Tang An still showed enough respect.

"Hehe, Director Tang is here, please sit down!" Wang Zhongjun stood up and asked Tang An to sit down.

This is Wang Zhongjun's first impression of not being arrogant.

That's easy to talk about!
"I heard that Director Tang's new film is already in preparation?"

"Yes, is Director Wang also paying attention to my movie?" Tang An was not surprised at all, and smiled.

"Director Tang won a box office of 300 million with a movie invested 3100 million. There is no one in the entertainment circle who doesn't pay attention!" Wang Zhongjun laughed.

"Wang Dong praised me, it's my first time making a movie, I'm just lucky!" Tang An waved his hands.

After some scenes, Wang Zhongjun finally explained the purpose of his visit.

"I don't know if Director Tang has any financial problems with this film, maybe I can help!"

"Thank you, Director Wang, for your kindness, but this time it's a low-budget movie, and there is no financial problem!" Tang An declined politely.

Wang Zhongjun didn't continue talking. With China Film Group, even if Tang An was short of money, he wouldn't go to Hua Yi.

"Does the actor have a candidate?" Wang Zhongjun asked with a smile.

It turned out to be for this!
What Hua Yi lacks most is actors, and what he lacks most is roles.

The huge artist management department is also a burden to the company!
The success of "Shark Beach" made Tang An's horror film of the same type very popular, and the characters in it naturally became popular.

Han Sanping also asked him about the candidate for the heroine before, but when he learned that Tang An already had a candidate, he stopped asking, and he didn't like the supporting roles.

Tang An pondered for a while, and said, "To tell the truth, I don't have any suitable candidates for supporting roles other than the heroine!"

"Still no leading actor?" Wang Zhongjun grasped the key point in his words.

"There are male roles, but there are not many roles, and there are four supporting roles. If Director Wang has a suitable candidate, please help introduce him!"

Apart from the heroine, "Horror Cruise" doesn't care who is used as the other characters. There is no conflict with the plot in terms of identity, background, occupation, and appearance.

It's okay to sell him a favor, and it would be troublesome for Tang An to find someone by himself! ·
