Full-time actor

Chapter 252 [79] Cai Yinong was so scared that she peed!

"Does it take that long for him to make a phone call?"

In a tea room in the imperial capital, a middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses looked slightly impatiently at Xu Xiaofang who was on the phone outside the door.

There is also a young woman with long hair sitting next to him. She is about 20 years old. She cannot be said to be very beautiful, but her features are delicate and regular. If she puts on makeup, she should look better than she does now.

The two people are Cai Yinong, the current general manager of Tangren International, and Li Guoli, the production director.

Cai Yinong is a famous agent in the entertainment industry who founded Tangren Film and Television.

Li Guoli is considered a veteran of the rise of Tangren and one of the shareholders of Tangren International. He and Cai Yinong each hold half of the shares, and one is responsible for the management of the company, while Li Guoli is filming various film and television dramas invested by Tangren.

In the industry, Li Guoli is actually a very famous director.

Before establishing Tangren International, he was already well-known, having filmed many well-known movies and TV series, and collaborated with many movie kings and queens.

Since the establishment of Tangren International in 98, he has successively filmed many masterpieces with high ratings, such as "The Two Proud Heroes", "The Legend of Heaven and Earth: The Mermaid, Lotus Lantern", "The Female General of the Yang Family", " "Book of Swords and Enmities" and so on.

Li Guoli is very good at costume dramas.

Cai Yinong asked immediately.

"Chen Yu?"

Xu Xiaofang shook his head: "He still wants to shoot a little more!"

"Who?"

In fact, as early as a few months ago, she contacted Xu Xiaofang and asked him if the copyright of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" could be transferred to her. She came to the conclusion that the copyright currently belonged to two people, and Xu Xiaofang could not do anything unilaterally. For sale.

After finally getting the copyright extension for "Sword of Immortality" from Softstar Technology, how could he possibly sell it?

Cai Yinong smiled slightly: "Mr. Xu, what do your partners say?"

Cai Yinong's expression changed instantly: "Is it the one who won the Berlin Best Actor...Chen Yu?"

After Xu Xiaofang finished talking to Chen Yu on the phone, he walked up to Cai Yinong and Li Guoli with an apologetic expression.

Xu Xiaofang then smiled and said: "Mr. Cai is interested in the copyright of Fairy Sword. Of course Chen Yu is also interested in it. Moreover, he bought the shares when my copyright expired..."

This is also a very common operation mode in many film and television dramas; in the previous life, Tang Ren and Xu Xiaofang signed this type of contract.

Finally, the filming of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" started in December 2003 and continued until May next year, which lasted for half a year.

It is normal for the copyright owner to become an investor.

"Sorry!"

As the publisher, Modu Yitong Culture is responsible for all the approval procedures of the show and also takes 20% of the dividends.

"He doesn't have any problem starting filming of "Legend of Sword and Fairy", but he said that he also wants to participate in the investment of this drama!"

"Conquer" has become a hit all over the country, and Chen Yu is actually very famous in Xiangjiang.

This is not the first time that Cai Yinong and Xu Xiaofang have contacted each other.

"fine!"

"No, except for copyright investment——"

Of course, he didn't want to sell either.

She is a woman who was born in Xiamen but grew up in Xiangjiang. To put it bluntly, she broke into the mainland and didn't know anyone at first. There are really not many 30-year-old women in Hong Kong who can achieve the results they have now. It can be done.

"This is Chen Yu, he is my partner!"

Xu Xiaofang recounted Chen Yu's original words.

The total investment in "Sword and Sword 1" is 2500 million, including the 500 million copyright fee.

The last Tang Ren was responsible for all the creation, filming and post-production work of the show, and received 60% of the dividend!

Therefore, Cai Yinong had no choice but to settle for the next best thing with Li Guoli and conduct a new round of negotiations in the form of copyright shares.

The success is certainly due to Li Guoli's filming, but the operation of the TV drama broadcast market is inseparable from the connections Cai Yinong has built over the years.

Cai Yinong glanced at Liu Guoli beside him, and there was not much surprise between the two of them: "Copyright investment?"

Many people will be deceived by the young face in front of them. Cai Yinong is currently 29 years old, but she is already the boss of three companies. She has worked no less than 10 jobs, including reporter, film promotion, Academy Awards production coordinator, and actor. Resource Director... Her resume is extensive and her ambitions are very high.

Cai Yinong took a sip of tea and said slightly.

As early as 5 years ago, she saw the huge potential of the Chinese mainland market, and then established Tangren International with Li Guoli beside her. Currently, their company has launched 11 TV series, and the market response has been very enthusiastic.

"Chen Yu, do you know him?"

"Didn't he just say that he alone doesn't have the final say on copyright? I guess the other person is a bit difficult to deal with..."

"He...how does he have the copyright of your "Sword of Immortality"?"

Xu Xiaofang, also known as Didu Yongyule Company, occupies 500% of the dividends from "Legend of Sword and Fairy" based on an investment of 20 million yuan discounted from the copyright fee.

Cai Yinong doesn’t quite understand!

Li Guoli on the side obviously also knew who Chen Yu was. In fact, during this period, this man was quite famous.

"Yes, Mr. Cai really knows the entertainment industry very well!"

Cai Yinong and Li Guoli looked at each other. Just when they were about to refuse, Xu Xiaofang smiled and said: "Mr. Cai, Director Li, aren't you curious who my partner is?"

"..."

"I see!"

Cai Yinong somewhat understood.

She knew about the expiration of the copyright of "Sword of Immortality", so she actually asked Xu Xiaofang about it. At that time, Chen Yu happened to cut off the copyright, so she lost the opportunity; of course, she would not choose to co-operate with him like Chen Yu. There is copyright in this program.

Either buy it or wait until it expires and ask Daewoo to buy it.

But no one expected that Xu Xiaofang's contract renewal was successful; in fact, in his previous life, Xu Xiaofang was desperate and had to mortgage his company and real estate to pay the renewal payment.

In this life, he was obviously much better.

"Chen Yu's meaning is very simple. We will invest in "Sword of Immortality" together, and he can even play the role of Li Xiaoyao as a friend!"

"What?!!"

This news made Cai Yinong unable to believe her ears.

"He...he really said that?"

Cai Yinong stared straight at Xu Xiaofang in front of him.

Xu Xiaofang smiled faintly: "Yes, he bought the copyright of "Sword of Immortality" just for Li Xiaoyao, and he is a game fan and likes this character very much!"

"That's really great!"

Cai Yinong looked at Li Guoli on the side, and Li Guoli was a little worried: "Can we talk to him in person?"

"Okay, I'll give you his contact information!"

"Okay, then let's contact him and make sure we sign a contract with Mr. Xu?"

Li Guoli was still calm, Xu Xiaofang smiled: "Okay, no problem!"

"Will Mr. Xu invest?"

Li Guoli couldn't help but ask.

“Do you think I’m someone who can afford to invest?”

Xu Xiaofang is not afraid of jokes between two people. The most valuable thing in his body now is probably the copyright of "Sword of Immortality", and it was Chen Yu who saved him.

So now Chen Yu will agree to whatever he says, except for buying 50% of the copyright of "Sword of Immortality" in his hands.

"Haha, it's okay!"

"If Mr. Xu is interested in "Sword of Immortal", he has already made a lot of money!" Li Guoli sighed. Xu Xiaofang was certainly not an ordinary person who knew about the game adaptation film and television market in 99.

The two parties talked for a while, and after Xu Xiaofang handed Chen Yu's contact information to Cai Yinong, he left the tea room.

"Director Li, do you fight, or do I fight?"

Cai Yinong pinched the note in her hand, and Li Guoli smiled: "Let's go together, you can open the phone on speakerphone!"

"it is good!"

"However, I have to understand this Chen Yu first..."

Although I have heard of Chen Yu and Cai Yinong, it seems that the leading male lead in the drama "Conquer" has become popular all over the country.

But she really didn't know much about some of his other works and personality preferences; at least she knew people in the circle, and she would know it after a little inquiry.

If you know yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger!

Cai Yinong's character is not to fight an uncertain battle.

Then after making a few calls, her expression became more and more serious.

"what happened?"

He didn't listen to Cai Yinong's phone calls very much, but looking at Cai Yinong who just hung up the phone with a solemn expression, he felt that it was not that simple.

"I don't know, is it a good thing or a bad thing!"

Cai Yinong smiled bitterly, and Li Guoli smiled a little: "First tell me what you think is a good thing!"

"The good thing is that if Chen Yu plays the male lead, then our drama will definitely become a hit!"

"That's indeed a good thing!"

Isn’t making TV series just for the sake of popularity?

However, Li Guoli was a little confused: "Why do you think so? Are there many actors who are more popular than him in China?"

"no the same!"

"Chen Yu is only 19 years old and is a freshman in Chinese drama. He is now the Berlin Best Actor!"

"But that's not the most exaggerated thing, you know? He has several dramas to be aired right now. Do you know which ones? I'm scared to death when I tell you!"

Cai Yinong said with a shocked look on his face. He had no chance to ask Li Guoli: "Dragon Babu, with a big beard!"

"..."

This is the current ceiling for domestic TV dramas.

Although Li Guoli is awesome, he doesn't dare to challenge Zhang Beard!

They are all in the film and television industry, so of course they know the importance of Zhang Beard TV series!

"Chen Yu actually played the male Duan Yu in "Tian Long Ba Bu"!"

"..."

Li Guoli looked stunned. This mainland version of "Dragon" is destined to be a hit when it airs. Even if the filming is not good, the traffic and popularity are there. How many people are looking forward to the actors Wang Yuyan and Duan Yu?

"It is said that it will be broadcast in December!"

"Then, what is even more awesome than "Dragon" is that he will soon film "House of Flying Daggers" directed by Zhang Yimou, playing the second male lead opposite Andy Lau!"

He has just grown a big beard, which is the ceiling of mainland TV dramas.

Now Zhang Yimou is the ceiling for mainland film directors.

"besides!"

"besides?"

Is there anyone more awesome than Zhang Big Beard and Zhang Yimou?

"Correct!"

Cai Yinong's face was already a little bitter: "Master Xing, the new drama that Master Xing just launched in Shanghai, he is also the second male lead!"

"..."

Li Guoli's expression was completely dull.

I thought Chen Yu was awesome, but I didn't expect him to be so awesome now.

Zhang Beard, Zhang Yimou, Zhou Xingchi?

Which one is not the top of the film and television industry.

"It is said that there are also Jiang Wen and Huo Jianqi, do you know them? They seem to be great directors as well -"

"okay!"

Li Guoli stretched out his hand and took a deep breath: "I know what you mean!"

"Well, I can't afford it!"

"The salary is at least one million..."

Cai Yinong really can't afford it.

With such a celebrity status, which actor in China can compare with him?

The key person is not only his works, but his title is even more terrifying!

Berlin actor!

Then film a TV series from a small company like theirs, or a small costume drama adapted from a game?

Cai Yinong felt numb just thinking about it.

"Softstar still has the decision-making power!"

Li Guoli did not forget to remind.

"Decision-making sucks!"

Cai Yinong directly cursed: "If Chen Yu really played the male lead, Yao Zhuangxian would have to wake up laughing in his dreams, and smoke would rise from his ancestral graves!"

"Hahaha!"

Li Guoli laughed immediately. There was indeed nothing wrong with his words.

The words are rough, but soft stars are having a hard time now. The game "Sword and Sword 2" was just released in January this year, and there was a lot of criticism on the Internet. The sales volume was good in the first two months, but now it can be described as bleak. One month Thousands of copies cannot be sold.

Moreover, the development of Fairy Sword 3 also requires money.

So Yao Zhuangxian is also worried now.

This is also the reason why Daewoo and Softstar did not invest a penny in the TV series "Sword and Sword".

Because they don’t have any money, it looks like they will lose money if they don’t launch a new game this year.

"There must be no nonsense from Daewoo!"

"Such a big name comes to play the male lead for you. If I were Daewoo, I would sign him as a spokesperson immediately and launch a new game immediately..."

Cai Yinong was talking there, and Li Guoli hurriedly said: "Let's get down to business, how do we do this?"

"I originally wanted to star some newcomers!"

Now Chen Yu had emptied the entire budget by himself.

"What else can we do? Make a phone call?"

Cai Yinong didn’t know Chen Yu’s thoughts anyway: “We can’t talk to him face to face to see what he really means. I think we will suffer a loss by converting his salary into investment, but otherwise, others may not I’d love to come and act!”

"Call, call quickly!"

"If it works, if it doesn't work, we have to change the project. But we haven't filmed a drama yet this year!"

"Okay, I've thought about how to open this conversation with Chen Yu..."

Cai Yinong considered the content of the phone call with Chen Yu, and finally gritted his teeth and dialed the phone directly.
