Actor: Thank you.

I had a meal with the main team members of Happy Twist, and we drank quite a bit.

The final solution was that he would temporarily retain 40% of the shares and sell 10% of the shares to the two founders, Zhang Chen and Yu Kai.

The remaining 10% will be used as employee incentives.

It was sold to Shen Teng for 500,000.

Yan Fei and Peng Damo, two highly capable individuals who can both write and direct, each purchased 0.5% of the shares.

Zhang Yuan will hold onto the remaining 8% for now and gradually distribute it to capable individuals.

Everyone in the group was delighted to hear this and was greatly encouraged.

For these three individuals who acquired shares, the important thing is not the percentage they hold, but the change in their status.

He was promoted from employee to partner in the company.

On the other end of the crosstalk club, Mr. Guo and his wife officially responded to his request and will soon conduct legal negotiations.

He then contacted Huang Xiaomao, the music production manager he had arranged for Yuehua Entertainment, who is also Li Jing's husband.

Let him work with me to run this entertainment company, and get the team, management, and distribution channels up and running first.

This person is very impressive in two ways. First, he was the general manager of Sony Music Greater China, so he has experience in managing large enterprises.

Secondly, he is a legitimate member of a prominent family in Beijing and a top student in the Journalism Department of Renmin University, making him well-connected in both the Beijing and Hong Kong music circles.

By bringing him along, along with himself, the entertainment company already had the support of Deyuan Society, Happy Twist, and a group of veteran musicians even before it officially opened.

These alone generate tens of millions in revenue from performances annually, enough to make any industry peers blush with shame.

When it comes to starting a business, skills are secondary; capital and connections are more important. If you also choose the right market, you'll achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Another point is that entertainment companies are involved in a large number of performances, both offline and live, whether it's concerts or fan meetings, which require a large number of security personnel.

I'm also a member of the "army," so I need to find some more ways to make a living for Brother Long and his underlings.

By making your own arrangements, you can gradually form a complete internal cycle, which is the only way to gain a firm foothold in this industry and work in it for a long time.

After a few days of running around trying to secure various contracts, he finally completed the initial plan.

Cheng Hao was heartbroken when she learned that he had sold off a large portion of his shares in the two thriving companies.

If that's how it works, why don't you just sell it to me?

Zhang Yuan smiled helplessly.

This kind of left-hand-to-right-hand transfer is not only meaningless, but it also makes the other shareholders unhappy.

In particular, Deyuan Society's 50/50 shareholding model is widely recognized as the worst, making it the most prone to conflicts among shareholders.

Think about it, in a husband-and-wife shop, with only two people working, you still have to distinguish between primary and secondary responsibilities, who is in charge of internal affairs and who is in charge of external affairs. If problems arise or something serious happens, whose advice should you follow?

Therefore, Zhang Yuan took the initiative to concede at this time, thus establishing Guo's absolute say within the team.

Doing this at a time when the team is "recovering from a serious illness" is just right.

The other party will not only agree, but will also leave a good impression.

Meanwhile, Shu Chang had reported to me two years earlier that the crosstalk club's accounts were fine, but the net profit margin was not high.

The reason is that commercial performances have low profit margins.

The performance fees that the team usually uses are from a small company, and Wang Hui has invested in this company.

She was making reasonable back-and-forth transactions.

Zhang Yuan's move completely ruined her chance to "pass the buck" later.

You don't need to use any other companies, and you don't need to invest in them either. Leave everything to me.

By doing this, it may seem that his voice in the group has diminished, but in fact, his control has actually increased.

Because commercial performances are the main source of income for employees!
In the future, I will have a strong sense of self-discipline in deciding who to appoint and who not to appoint.

Brother Qian called and immediately offered his congratulations.

"Please take good care of me in the future and arrange good performances for me."

“No problem,” Zhang Yuan replied generously. “I’ll arrange all the performances in Dongguan from now on.”

"How can I possibly concentrate on performing?"

Brother Qian is a sensible person; he said he picked a good time.

Zhang Yuan didn't explain; the good times were something he had created through a lot of waiting and maneuvering.

After finishing his business here, he arrived at an old residential area in the capital.

"Teacher Li, I'm here."

He carried two bags of imported fruit to the home of Mr. Li Xuejian, a senior figure in the industry.

"This must be Teacher Yu, right?"

After entering the house, Zhang Yuan changed into a pair of dark blue woolen slippers with multi-layered soles, which are very common in middle-aged and elderly households, and then greeted Li Xuejian and his wife.

The house is a standard three-bedroom, two-living room apartment, with an area of ​​just over 100 square meters.

For people of these two statuses, this is quite modest.

My brother Song Jiang's place is really too small.

This only shows that they are pure actors and don't care about those superficial and flashy things.

Li Xuejian is a versatile actress who has handled all kinds of roles and is very popular with audiences.

Can you imagine another side of Brother Song Jiang, which is "If you don't take it, how can I take it?"

Despite being the same person, they can portray characters with completely different personalities without any sense of incongruity.

Its level is so high that it ranks among the top in the country.

However, despite his abilities, Teacher Li has a bit of the air of a son-in-law living in the family home.

Because his wife, Teacher Yu, comes from a very good family with excellent financial conditions and social class.

My aunt was a student at the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University and one of the first drama actors in China.

My uncle graduated from Fu Jen Catholic University in Beiping, one of the earliest private universities in China. Yang Zhenning and Li Zhengdao are his juniors.

"Sit down, sit down and talk... Oh, you've gone to so much trouble." Teacher Li Xuejian pulled him to sit down.

The lady took the fruit to wash and brought over two cups of hot tea.

The cup was the classic type with red and yellow squares and a black rim; Zhang Yuan suspected that this thing was older than him.

A quick glance revealed that the interior design and furnishings of this home were classic, possessing a beauty that seemed to have stood still in time.

He came today to "seek guidance".

Many years ago, he reminded the other person about a nose problem, which can be considered a good connection.

Later, when the crew of "The Little Fish and the Flower Without Flaws" ran into trouble, the other party also offered their support, deepening their friendship.

The reason for this visit is ostensibly for the purpose of learning.

He told Teacher Li that he had been given the opportunity to participate in a documentary film about Mr. Qian Xuesen.

Li Xuejian has acted in "The Birth of a Warrior"!

The timeline of "Qian Xuesen" begins earlier than that of "The Birth of a Nation," but the climaxes of the two are simultaneous.

Because the development of nuclear weapons and the early Dongfeng series missiles were carried out at the same time, they were eventually combined, assembled, and tested.

Therefore, when the two plays, "Qian Xuesen" and "The Birth of a Warrior," are combined, they tell the complete story of Miss Qiu and the apple tree.

Li Xuejian delivered a truly outstanding performance in "The Birth of a Nation," which Zhang Yuan personally believes overshadowed Li Youbin, the male lead.

Especially the two long takes in the film.

Create mushroom eggs and stand tall.

And: It should be said that America is a beautiful country, but it shouldn't be like this now, bullying people at the drop of a hat, making you want to shout at it, NO, to hell with it!
Back then, movies allowed "swearing." It wasn't about swearing for the sake of swearing, but about expressing emotions.

Teacher Li Xuejian expressed it very well; no one will find it vulgar or offensive.

The drama "The Birth of a Nation" is inspiring no matter which era you watch it in.

The producer, supervisor, and distributor of this film are all Lao Han.

This time, Han Yu did not credit himself in the book "Qian Xuesen," but the team members were all acquaintances of his.

Because making this kind of patriotic film isn't something just anyone can do.

What if there are bad people in the team?
What if someone deliberately sabotages you and produces films with distorted values?
You need trustworthy people and teams.

When Han was in power, there were absolutely no problems in this regard.

But after he went down... well, you know, Poet Chen, right?

Therefore, Zhang Yuan sought advice from teacher Li Xuejian beforehand, as he was the most qualified to speak on this kind of play.

"Oh dear!" When talking about the play "The Birth of a Nation", Teacher Li shook her head vigorously and wiped her face with her hand.

He said he regretted it whenever he talked about the show.

It's not that we shouldn't have taken the photos, but that we didn't take them well.

Actually, the performance was already above 95 points.

But what Ms. Li regrets is that she is too fat.

The character he plays in the film, Feng Shi, is based on General Zhang Yunyu.

He passed away during the 08 Olympics.

General Zhang's distinctive feature is his fondness for wearing sunglasses, a trait that Teacher Li perfectly embodies.

But this person is very thin.

Li Xuejian brought Shen Yun to life. When comparing photos, even though they look different, they seem very similar.

He was a little fatter then.

Veteran artists have high standards for themselves and feel they are letting their work down.

Because this person combines the methods of experience and the method school, when filming "Jiao Yulu", Jiao Yulu's wife said he was too fat, so he lost dozens of kilograms.

I was so hungry on set that I got really irritable, and I would stare at other people eating with envy.

Therefore, he regretted that he could have lost weight for the role, but why didn't he lose weight when he filmed "The Birth of a Warrior".

The difference between celebrities, actors, and performing artists lies not only in their skill level but also in their attitude towards work.

Only when people know shame can they make progress.

Zhang Yuan silently reminded himself that he must constantly remind himself that he cannot stop doing what he could do before just because he has become famous.

"Don't take it too seriously. Nobody's perfect, and even the finest jade has its flaws," Zhang Yuan comforted her.

"How embarrassing!" Teacher Li squinted her eyes. "I never wanted to watch that play again after that."

When talking about filming, Teacher Li said that you need to have faith to film this kind of movie.

We must firmly believe that our country will become stronger and stronger, and we must remain steadfast in this belief.

People of that era were very determined; otherwise, they could not have achieved great things in such a terrible material environment.

And the arrogance of scientists, especially top scientists.

These great scientists often have personality flaws, and they are quite obvious.

We cannot simply portray characters as perfect; otherwise, they will lack humanity.

"You should read some books, not just Qian Lao's biography and materials."

"You also have to read the books he likes, even if you don't understand them, you have to read them to get that feeling."

"To fill your surroundings with that kind of atmosphere."

Zhang Yuan told Teacher Li that he was already watching and learning, which surprised and pleased the teacher.

"That's good."

"I have high hopes for you and hope you can bring out the charm of Mr. Qian."

"You have a more reserved wisdom than other young actors I've met, and I hope you can apply that to your characters."

After discussing these "refined" topics, Zhang Yuan had to move on to the more mundane ones.

His second purpose for this trip was to seek advice on a matter.

"Teacher Li, do you think I'm qualified to join the Film Association?"

"I mean, if I portray Qian Xuesen well, is there a chance for me to get the role?"

Li Xuejian was already the vice chairman of the Film Association at this time.

Furthermore, Zhang Yuan also knew that he was the next chairman!
They already had a good relationship, so they should get even closer.

"Well..." Teacher Li leaned back on the sofa and said in a deep voice, "Your abilities are not a problem, and we welcome young people like you to join us."

"But now the Film Association's requirements are getting higher and higher. It's best to have a background in a major theater troupe or a professional school."

The other party directly pointed out his shortcomings.

Just like in the performing arts, if you want to be officially registered, you need a master.

Joining was easy, but Li Xuejian knew that he certainly wasn't just there for the title.

To get in, you need to have a certain status, and with status come certain conditions.

"Or they hold a position at the deputy senior level or above."

“Or a major award recognized domestically would also work,” Teacher Li suggested.

This is exactly what Zhang Yuan has been waiting for!

“Oh, so I do have a chance,” he quickly replied.

"Hehehe, let me brag a little. I received five nominations for this year's Hundred Flowers Awards."

"Isn't the Hundred Flowers Award a major award?"

"Definitely, it's organized by our film association, so it's definitely a major award."

"That's great, you're very good. Getting so many nominations shows that the audience really appreciates you." Teacher Li looked at him with a kind smile.

"If you win the Hundred Flowers Award, I will personally recommend you for membership in the association."

“But,” Zhang Yuan said, feigning concern, “I’ve heard some rumors lately.”

"It seems like someone is orchestrating this to prevent me from winning the award."

"Actually, if I am not good enough or lack the ability, and therefore cannot win the award, I will accept it."

"I'll go back and practice. Once I've practiced well, I'll make an even better film and then come back to win the award."

"But if it's because of off-field factors, I think it's unfair and not good."

Li Xuejian nodded slightly, understanding the situation.

"I understand. Okay, I'll look into it when I have time."

"Such a prestigious award should be fair and impartial."

"Then I'll leave it to you."

After visiting for several hours, he got up and left before dinner.

"One Li Xiaowan, plus Teacher Li Xuejian."

Zhang Yuan clicked his tongue in the car, wondering if that would be enough... (End of Chapter)
