The whole entertainment circle thinks I'm confused

In the early morning, Zheng Teng's heart almost jumped out of excitement.A call was made to Tao Tang's work phone.

"My investment in this movie is only 300 million, and it has already paid back. I didn't expect it to be popular, and I am very happy to win a few awards. I really want to thank Mr. Tao this time. The cost of promotion is still the same as last time. It is the same?"

The last time Zheng Teng's movie "Drowning" relied on Xia Yu's studio, it only won [-] million box office.But the last movie was not invested by him.Moreover, the investment was more than double that of this time. At that time, he was worried that he would not be able to pay back the capital, so he had the cheek to ask for Xia Yu's studio.

This time, the filmmakers were unwilling to invest again, and it was he who gritted his teeth and invested.

There is no extra money for publicity, but his reputation was more or less publicized last time.

This time, he didn't expect to make money either. He really wanted to win an award, and he was already very satisfied without losing money.

Overseas copyright has been sold, 200 million.At the domestic box office, the 960 million box office has already paid back.

Zheng Teng's idea was how much he could earn in the remaining two weeks. Unexpectedly, Tao Tang's Weibo made his movie become popular all of a sudden, and it also got the attention of Huaxia's official blog.

Yesterday afternoon, an official from Huaxia Film Network had already discussed with him about purchasing the copyright, which made his whole heart feel hot and hot!

"Director Zheng, you're welcome. This time it was just an accident. I went to see the movie. You really did a great job. I don't think this kind of excellent movie should be buried. It doesn't mean to make money from you. I hope you will return it in the future. Make better movies."

"If Director Zheng doesn't have enough money for filming in the future, he can come to our studio if he is looking for investment!"

Tao Tang's words are considered polite, because Zheng Teng invested in the movie this time, and the box office has already increased tenfold on this day. When the movie is released, Director Zheng Teng will probably realize the real economy in the future. free!
The cost of the movies he shot is not high, and they are all in the millions.

Even if the tax is paid, the remaining money is enough for him to continue to make a few movies he wants to make, Tao Tang thinks, it's pretty good.

Tao Tang didn't want the money, but Zheng Teng felt uneasy because he had never made so much money himself.Turning his head, he said, "I remember that you took over the Casting Wing Fund. You don't want the promotion fee. I will donate part of it to this public welfare fund. It should be okay, right?"

Tao Tang laughed immediately.

"Of course!"

She agrees with this one.

'Take it from the people and use it from the people? '

at the same time.

beautiful country.

PM 13:01
Xia Yu waited for half a month, just when she and Zhuang Ling were about to contact Mingdeli Films.

Gu Zhao finally called.

Xia Yu waited for three to five seconds, and the phone was connected, Gu Zhao's first words were.

"Tao Tang fought another beautiful counterattack. Your family Tao Tang's public relations are really good!"

October No. 16, wait until November No. 16, Xia Yu still has patience, and it is almost used up.

Zhuang Ling and Ashley have long been impatient, and Ashley complained more than once:
"The agreed fifteen days, he's already twice as late. He's too lacking in contract spirit and punctuality!"

But Xia Yu still insisted on waiting.

Today is the last day, or half a day.If the call was an hour late, Zhuang Ling's call would have reached James. If it was earlier, he might meet Mindley Pictures in the afternoon or evening.

Gu Zhao's phone call seemed to have been calculated at the right time, and he stepped on the right spot to call in.

In fact, at this time, Xia Yu no longer had such high hopes. If Gu Zhao had the willingness to cooperate, he would definitely facilitate this cooperation as soon as possible, but after the release of "Black Moon Project 1", he delayed it again half a month.

Gu Zhao's phone call was made to Xia Yu's work machine, not his personal phone, the choice is self-evident.

He said: "I thought about it again and again, and after thinking about it for a whole month, I still felt that it was too risky. It took me 30 to [-] years to complete the accumulation of my career and contacts. I just need to follow the steps and follow my original plan. Poor will also be among the top [-] greatest directors in the history of global cinema—unfortunately, I am too old to move forward.”

And his answer also made Xia Yu stunned for a moment, then quickly calmed down and asked, "Is it because of Luo Ming's revelation?"

"There are certain factors, but it's not the key."

This month, if we talk about the first fifteen days, Xia Yu's emotions were anticipation, confidence, and excitement.

Then the emotions in the next fifteen days are apprehension, anxiety, restlessness, silence, and calmness.

When hearing this answer, Xia Yu's mood was not depressed, but he let out a long sigh of relief.

Because she had been hanging on Gu Zhao for half a month, especially after she said, "I can't wait to sign the contract right away".

Xia Yu was particularly dissatisfied with the half-month wait, but she still felt that waiting was necessary, and everyone needed to consider gains and losses.

But if Gu Zhao can't come up with an appropriate reason that can convince her, Xia Yu will also be full of doubts about this cooperation.

Gu Zhao is very important. It is a key factor for Xia Yu's career start in the beautiful country, and it can reduce Xia Yu's many troubles in cooperation.

However, this is not absolute.

What Xia Yu is looking for is a mutually beneficial and win-win partner, not an ally of pure interest!
Xia Yu didn't ask the specific reason, because he didn't cooperate anymore, so there was no need to ask in detail.

Moreover, from making the call to hanging up, Xia Yu never waited for an apology.

One, "I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long", didn't exist, which made Xia Yu accumulate another disappointment.

"Okay, I respect Director Gu's decision!"

……

As soon as the phone was hung up, Gu Zhao fell silent. He and his assistant were actually at the bankrupt sister film and television company, on the side of the street one kilometer away.

You can see at a glance that within a radius of two or three kilometers, the tallest building is the bankrupt sister film and television company building.

The driver and assistant glanced at Gu Zhao sitting in the back seat through the interior rearview mirror, and he caught the movement.

Gu Zhao glanced at the assistant and asked him, "Are you curious why you gave up working with Xia Yu?"

The assistant smiled, "Curiosity, but what Director Gu does must be deliberate, as long as it is Director Gu's decision, it is right!"

"Is that right?" Gu Zhao's eyes flashed, full of regret and regret.

He originally planned to talk to Xia Yu in person this trip, after all, he was quite sorry for leaving Xia Yu alone for half a month.

However, after thinking about it seriously, he was really afraid of seeing Xia Yu—he was afraid that Xia Yu would come up with another script that even surprised him, and he might not be able to walk.

Maybe I really can't help it, and use the contacts and capital I have been operating for more than 20 years to fight!
If he wins the bet, he, Gu Zhao, may really be able to leave his name in the history of entertainment, if he fails, then all these years of hard work will be in vain!
'I'm too old to gamble! '

He smiled wryly in his heart.

As for the conditions offered to him by the head of Victoria Films, he also laughed.

After he repeatedly assured that Xia Yu's three scripts of "Twilight Series", "The Day After Tomorrow" and "Devil's Letter" were absolutely excellent.

What did he hear?
"Let Xia Yu take out the script and give it to Victoria Films for shooting.

She can be selected for the role of the second female lead. If it is a little worse, they will shoot it by themselves, and she will play the first female lead. However, Victoria Films needs to let 50.00% of the film and television equity of the bankrupt sisters be controlled. "

"You really dare to think!" Gu Zhao didn't know how to calm down the complicated heart for a while.

'Fortunately, fortunately, he kept his eyes open and didn't roughly disclose the content of the script, otherwise, he might be a sinner in the Chinese film industry! '

If he really said it, there is no guarantee that Victoria Films will not have a similar script.

Even if Xia Yu has already established the copyright.

Do you think there will be no plagiarism in Hollywood?It's just more subtle, and the screenwriter is more 'beautiful'!
That's why he left Xia Yu alone for half a month.Because in the past half month, he is still fighting for it, and still making choices.

"She can also sign a contract with Victoria Films and become our second-tier actress. This is an opportunity that many actors in the world can't ask for?"

"You don't think she can refuse this kind of opportunity, do you?"

"Their screenwriters? Do you think we are short of excellent screenwriters in Victoria Films? Do you think we can catch up with their Chinese screenwriters? Don't be kidding, Gu——If it wasn't for your sake, I wouldn't even give it to them." Such a generous offer!"

The words of the head of Victoria Films are also very "bright", "Our Victoria Films theaters are all over the world, and our Victoria Films is now one of the largest film companies in Hollywood. This is our reason!"

The head of Victoria Films looked at Gu Zhao with a hint of sarcasm.

"Gu, you don't need too many partners, let alone someone like them."

"We can make [-] million U.S. dollars in China, but we will never allow them to make [-] million U.S. dollars in our country."

"Of course, if they are willing to share [-]% of the [-] million US dollars they earn each time with us, I think we can still talk about cooperation!"

Gu Zhao sneered in his heart at that time.

'Insatiable! '

Of course, Gu Zhao can hold a general meeting of shareholders.

Although his shares in Victoria Films are very small, less than one percent, there are quite a few directors who support him, nearly half of them.

However, if this decision is made, then while the bankrupt sisters get help in the future, they will also offend the faction behind the head of Victoria Films, and by then, it will turn into an internal struggle in Victoria Films.

If it cannot be calmed down with huge benefits, in order to resolve the internal strife, it has already been squeezed, and the bankrupt sisters film and television company that has paid a lot of effort will either offer greater benefits, or it will only become a reality under this factional struggle. victim!
Gu Zhao couldn't help laughing at himself. He thought that he had made a blockbuster movie, won a few awards, and earned more than 20 billion US dollars for Victoria Films, so he could really have the right to speak , now it seems that far away.

As for really "bringing" Xia Yu in, as he said, then it's not helping Xia Yu, but defrauding Xia Yu!
Of course the main reason.

Still alone.

Kate Elizabeth Middleton has confirmed her debut.

middleton.

The film and television family behind Victoria Films.

Kate Elizabeth Middleton is also the niece of the current boss of Victoria Films.Therefore, not only Xia Yu, but also the capital market that Victoria Films can control must make way for this little Victoria princess!
Gu Zhao was by the road, looking at the bankrupt sisters building through the car window for about ten minutes, and finally sent Xia Yu a text message——

""Black Moon Project Final Chapter: Wings of Redemption" Kate Elizabeth Middleton."

[SMS sent successfully]

Gu Zhao glanced regretfully at the "Bankrupt Sister Film and Television Company Building" for the last time, waved his hand, and said softly, "Let's go, go back to the company!"

The assistant glanced at the rearview mirror of the car from the corner of his eye. He rarely saw Gu Zhao being so heavy, and he didn't dare to touch bad luck, put the gear, handbrake, and drive.

……

A month of time wasted, all the blood was wasted, and there was no loss at all. It seems that it is not the past?

In Xia Yu's office, the atmosphere was eerily quiet, as if there was only the sound of water flowing in the fish tank.

The original manuscript of "Twilight 3" has been written, and Ashley has finished reading it, and urged Xia Yu several times to prepare for the specific time of the field trip to the shooting location. At the moment, she is anxiously drawing "Twilight 2" in her office the storyboard.

Xia Yu also changed the storyboard of "Twilight 1", and it was completely perfected, which was approved by both of them.

Zhuang Ling was watching "Twilight 3".

She doesn't go to her own office recently, and usually attends classes at school;
When they arrive at the company, they either sit in the reception room, or lie down on the sofa in Ashley or Xia Yu's office, reading the original manuscript.

It happened to be at Xia Yu's side today, and the two of them were about to discuss the matter of contacting Mingli.

A phone call from Gu Zhao broke the anxiety and boredom of the past half a month. You are hesitant to make a decision, and you are wasting the time of both parties-although it has been expected, Xia Yu and others really want to cooperate with Gu Zhao.

But in her cognition, impression, and understanding, Gu Zhao is not this kind of person.

But did he really do such a thing?

Putting down the phone, Xia Yu put the phone aside and glanced at Zhuang Ling.

Zhuang Ling smiled slightly, shrugged, also full of regret, and asked, "Refused? Why don't you ask?"

Xia Yu shook her head and only asked once, "Since it's not because of Luo Ming, then it has nothing to do with us."

"I refused, even if I refused, an adult, even a smart person like Gu Zhao - ask, there is no room for redemption."

"Then shall I formally contact James now? Or should I let you take it easy?" Zhuang Ling said thoughtfully.

"Let me take it easy?" Xia Yu accepted it, but she didn't want to be too hasty about the next cooperation.

"You have to prepare, whether it's the mentality or the material, isn't it?"

Zhuang Ling pursed her lips and said, "I don't know what the reason is for Gu Zhao, but I think that in the future, not only him, but also Victoria Films will probably be upset. But for Gu Zhao's abandonment of cooperation, I think there must be some Tricky."

"The old man and Gu Zhao are old acquaintances, and he still has a good eye for seeing people. There are so many directors in Huaxia, and he can be sure of them. Not many, Gu Zhao is one of them—even Teacher Yongxia praised him a lot. Since he said that he will seriously consider it, he will not refuse casually!"

Zhuang Ling spoke his mind.

"Today's phone call is really too perfunctory, it doesn't look like Gu Zhao's style!"
