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

Chapter 101 Fan Bayi

Shanghai Film Studio did not treat Wanqingshan as a pig, but the asking price was higher than the market price, 180 million.

For a special effects production that ranks high in the country, this price is considered normal. Wan Qingshan signed a contract with the Shanghai Film Studio on the spot.

After staying at Shanghai Film Studio for two days, Wan Qingshan explained the desired effect to the people at Shanghai Film Studio and prepared to fly to Shenzhen to find Chen Yumo.

But a phone call from Chen Chen made Wan Qingshan transfer back to the capital.

Back at Qingshan Film and Television Company, Wan Qingshan asked Chen Chen, "Tell me, why did Fan Bayi ask me out?"

"Director Wan, Miss Fan didn't say anything to me. She just said that she wanted to ask you to have lunch tomorrow."

Wan Qingshan was a little confused. He and Fan Bayi were not familiar with each other, and now that he had not made a new movie, how could Fan Bayi invite him to dinner.

With doubts, Wan Qingshan came to South Beauty's box at noon the next day and met Fan Bayi.

"Director Wan!" Fan Bayi, who looked youthful and beautiful with light makeup and light blue casual clothes, stood up and called.

"Hello, Miss Fan!"

After exchanging pleasantries, the two ordered some dishes. When the waiter brought the exquisite and rare dishes, Wan Qingshan simply took a few bites and stopped being polite. He asked directly, "Miss Fan, what do you want from me?" What's the matter?"

Fan Bayi put down his chopsticks, pushed his long hair behind his ears, and said with a smile, "Director Wan, you don't even let me eat this meal. I've just taken two bites, and I'm going to talk about business."

Wan Qingshan laughed dryly and said, "Miss Fan, I'm sorry, I'm impatient and can't wait. Let's eat first and then talk after we finish."

Fan Bayi clasped his hands and smiled, "Director Wan, you have already spoken. If I don't speak first, you won't be able to enjoy this meal with peace of mind."

Wan Qingshan smiled, put down his chopsticks and waited for Fan Bayi's next words.

Fan Bayi took out a piece of paper, wiped his mouth, and asked, "Director Wan, have you thought about the future development of your company?"

Wan Qingshan suddenly frowned, "Miss Fan, what do you mean by this?"

"Director Wan, don't get me wrong. I have no other intentions. I just want to ask you about the future development of Qingshan Film and Television Company."

Wan Qingshan looked at Fan Bayi's smiling expression and said with a smile, "Thank you, Miss Fan, for your concern. Everyone in the industry knows that Qingshan Film and Television Company is just a handbag company. What kind of development does a handbag company want?"

"Director Wan, you are kidding. As long as you are still making movies, no one in the industry would dare to treat Qingshan Film and Television Company as a company."

Fan Bayi is telling the truth. Last year, Qingshan Film and Television Company made more money than many big companies in the industry. No one dared to underestimate Qingshan Film and Television Company.

I couldn't understand why Fan Bayi mentioned Qingshan Film and Television Company. Wan Qingshan didn't want to guess Fan Bayi's thoughts, so he asked directly,

"Ms. Fan, just say it directly. No need to beat around the bush."

The smile on Fan Bayi's face froze, and then she stopped her smile and said solemnly, "Since Director Wan said so, I won't beat around the bush. I plan to terminate the contract with Huayi and sign with Qingshan Film and Television Company."

Wan Qingshan stared at Fan Bayi with some disbelief.

"Do you want to sign my company?" Wan Qingshan asked again, wondering if he had heard wrong.

"Well, Director Wan, I want to sign with Qingshan Film and Television Company. This is a decision I made after careful consideration."

After Wan Qingshan confirmed it, he paused for a while, and then he suddenly terminated the contract with Fan Bayi. Then,,,
"Miss Fan, Wang Jinghua is leaving Huayi."

Faced with Wan Qingshan's words, Fan Bayi was not surprised. There were already rumors in the industry that Wang Jinghua was leaving Huayi.

"Yes, Sister Hua is leaving Huayi. She talked to me and asked me if I would leave with her. She said that she had already found a next owner with strong capital and would not lack my resources."

Fan Bingbing smiled and said slightly proudly, "Not only did Sister Hua come to me, but Huayi's boss also came to me and said that if I was willing to stay, I would be the heroine of a blockbuster movie."

Wan Qingshan picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and said with a smile, "Miss Fan, since Wang Jinghua and Mr. Wang have negotiated with you, the terms they offered are also good.

Then why do you want to sign with my leather bag company? I can't give you any resources.

If you think that Qingshan Film and Television Company has no artists and think that after signing the contract, you can star in my movie, then you are wrong.

When I make movies, I hire people based on whether the actor fits the role. "

"Haha, Director Wan, you said this at Nortel, and I've heard it a long time ago." Fan Bayi said with a smile.

Immediately, Fan Bayi suppressed her charming smile and changed the topic, "However, Director Wan, I have to say something that may not sound nice, if you really only cast actors based on whether they suit the character or not!
So, what about Zeng Li?Although I don’t know yet whether Zeng Li is suitable for the heroine in your new film "Loyalty and Bravery".

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that she doesn't quite fit the role of Zuo Zhi in "The True Meaning of Love." "

What he just said was slapped in the face, which made Wan Qingshan a little embarrassed.

The role of Mai Xinxin was very suitable for Zeng Li, but for the role of Zuo Zhi, Wan Qingshan really thought that he was friends with Zeng Li, so he let Zeng Li play the role even though he didn't fit the role.

Seeing Wan Qingshan's embarrassed expression, Fan Bingbing suddenly laughed dumbly.

This time her smile came from the heart. She didn't expect that Wan Qingshan would be embarrassed. There was no one as thin-skinned as Wan Qingshan in the circle.

After smiling, Fan Bayi said solemnly, "Director Wan, it's normal for a character to miss his friends.

I wanted to sign with your company, and I didn’t think I would definitely be able to star in your movie. I just hoped that when your movie has a suitable role for me, Director Wan would be slightly biased towards me. "

Wan Qingshan suppressed his embarrassment and asked curiously, "Miss Fan, just for this request, you would give up the great conditions of Huayi and Wang Jinghua and sign a contract with my company. It doesn't make sense."

Fan Bayi leaned forward slightly, looked closely at Wan Qingshan, and said with a serious expression, "Director Wan, of course I'm not just for this condition. I want to sign a contract with your company. It's different from signing a contract with a normal artist. It's a contract. But it can be said to be a cooperative relationship.

I want to open a small company of my own under the banner of Qingshan Film and Television Company, and I will let Qingshan Film and Television Company take part of the shares for free.

Nominally, this small company is a subsidiary of Qingshan Film and Television Company, but I have independent management rights and Qingshan Film and Television Company cannot interfere in it. "

Wan Qingshan understood that Fan Bayi's small company was simply a studio.

At the same time, Wan Qingshan was also surprised that the No. 1 star to open a studio in later generations was Fan Bayi, but that was in 2007.Now in 2005, she has already thought of opening a studio.

After Wan Qingshan thought for a moment, he slowly said, "Miss Fan, I understand what you mean. To put it bluntly, you need the name of Qingshan Film and Television Company.

You neither ran away from Wang Jinghua nor renewed your contract with Huayi, so you are not pleasing both parties.Wang Jinghua will not help you, and Huayi will even add insult to injury. You need a company to support you.

When cooperating with other companies, Ms. Fan will worry that the company will gradually exclude you.However, Qingshan Film and Television Company is just a leather company, and I am not a person who wants to control myself, so it is most suitable for Miss Fan. "

Fan Bayi nodded, "Director Wan is right, Qingshan Film and Television is the best fit for me, and signing with Qingshan Film and Television will give me great convenience.

However, Director Wan, you don’t get nothing. Every money I make, Qingshan Film and Television Company can also share. "

Fan Bayi's conditions were very tempting. After a few years, her ability to attract money skyrocketed, and her annual income ranked first among domestic actors. Qingshan Film and Television Company just gave her a name and they could just sit and divide the money.

The conditions are very tempting, but——

Wan Qing frowned and remained silent for a long time. Fan Bayi frowned slightly when he saw this, "Director Wan, I don't know what worries you have. You can get part of my company's shares for free without paying anything."

Wan Qingshan thought for a while and said slowly, "The conditions you mentioned are very tempting, but if something happens to your company, it will definitely affect Qingshan Film and Television Company."

Fan Bayi's expression froze. He never thought that Wan Qingshan would be worried about this.

"Director Wan, please worry too much. The company I opened will at most go bankrupt. Director Wan won't get any money. How can it affect Qingshan Film and Television Company?"

"That's not certain. Think about Liu Xiaoqing's case. To put it bluntly, if you are involved in tax evasion, even though Qingshan Film and Television Company only occupies a small share of the shares, you will not care about anything. I, a member of Qingshan Film and Television Company, will not let me The legal person will go to jail, but there will definitely be repercussions."

Fan Bayi's expression changed suddenly. She hesitated and whispered, "Director Wan, she was fucked by someone under her command, otherwise nothing would have happened."

Wan Qingshan's pupils shrank slightly. Fan Bayi's words meant that she was already evading taxes.

Fan Bayi's tax evasion was nothing to Wan Qingshan. How many people evaded taxes?

Xiao Cui revealed that Fan Bayi was not the only one who evaded taxes, so why was Fan Bayi the only one to withdraw from the industry?It's not that she was too popular at the time and was regarded as a typical example by the superiors.

This is nothing, it is a premise that it does not involve myself.If it was linked to Qingshan Film and Television Company, then there would be nothing wrong with it.

Wan Qingshan was afraid that he would be implicated in the future, so he wanted to refuse Fan Bayi.

But he suddenly thought that if he rejected Fan Bayi, Fan Bayi would probably stay at Huayi until 2007 like in his previous life.

Thinking of the people in the Beijing circle, Wan Qingshan thought that he could still persuade Fan Bayi. If Fan Bayi didn't listen, then forget it.

"Ms. Fan, since the past two years, have you noticed that actors' salaries have increased every year?"

Fan Bayi was a little confused as to why Wan Qingshan asked this question. With doubts, she nodded.

"Yes, the film and television industry has begun to develop in the past two years, and film salaries are getting higher year by year."

"Ms. Fan, your annual income is quite high now. If it continues to increase like this, in a few years your annual income may not be lower than that of a company.

At this point, do you think the authorities will still ignore celebrities’ taxes? "

Without waiting for Fan Bayi's answer, Wan Qingshan answered his own question and said, "One star can pay a company's taxes. As long as there are a few more high-income stars, it is impossible for the higher-ups not to check the taxes."

Fan Bayi frowned and fell silent.

Seeing this, Wan Qingshan stopped persuading and made his final request directly, "Miss Fan, if you want to list the company under my company, I can agree.

But I will send people into your company to keep an eye on the finances. If there is tax evasion, our cooperation will end immediately. "

Fan Bayi hesitated for a moment and said, "Director Wan, I have to think about this."

"No problem. Miss Fan needs to think carefully about such a big matter."

Afterwards, the two stopped talking about the signing and started chatting.Then, Wan Qingshan discovered that Fan Bayi was really good at chatting and could always compliment you in every aspect.

After the meal, the two of them did not continue chatting, got up and left the box together.

When he walked to the door of the box, Wan Qingshan thought about Fan Bayi's compliment to him just now. He turned around and said,

"Ms. Fan, no matter you don't sign with our company in the end, I advise you to still pay the tax.

Even if you pay taxes, you can make a lot of money in a year that others cannot make in a lifetime.If you can make money, it's better to be safe. Think about Liu Xiaoqing's fate. "

After saying that, without waiting for Fan Bayi to speak, Wan Qingshan opened the box and walked out.

Fan Bayi looked at Wan Qingshan's back, frowned and thought for a moment before taking steps to walk out of the box.
