Actor: Thank you.

In any negotiation, there are active and passive aspects.

Taking the initiative will give you the first-mover advantage.

In negotiations, you will have the upper hand.

Now, Zhang Yuan pretended to be anxious and sad, sitting uneasily opposite Xiao Wang, shaking his legs constantly, looking uncomfortable all over.

Wang Zhonglei's expression was indifferent.

But from time to time he would glance at the white director Rob who was sitting between the two of them.

When negotiations encounter difficulties, it is common to have a third party step in to help move things forward.

After all, a triangle is the most stable structure.

At this time, the three people formed a triangle, restraining and entangling each other.

Xiao Wang needs Rob's team to direct the work.

Rob needs Zhang Yuan to participate in his work.

Zhang Yuan needs to reach an agreement with Xiao Wang.

The three of them are in "rotational debt".

"To ensure that the filming of The Forbidden Kingdom can start smoothly."

"I think we can talk freely here today and resolve some minor problems." Rob said and glanced at Xiao Wang.

He already knew what Huayi had done.

Emotionally, he sympathized with Zhang Yuan.

But from a business perspective, he sees nothing wrong with this kind of personnel turnover.

As for race, I don’t care what you Chinese people do!
I just want the film to be shot well, released smoothly, and to give an explanation to the company and investors.

"I don't agree with Yao Cheng leaving my company early!"

"We signed a contract!"

Zhang Yuan spoke first.

"Zhang Yuan, you are still young and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future." Xiao Wang gave a very standard greasy middle-aged man's speech.

"As for Yao Cheng."

"If it rains, it will rain; if my mother wants to get married, nothing can stop it."

"Since she wants to leave, there's no point in forcing her to stay."

"I'm just trying to save face!" Zhang Yuan replied viciously.

"So you are still young, there is no point in being angry." Xiao Wang said calmly.

"In this way, we Huayi will not let you down."

"As for the 1500 million investment, as long as you terminate the contract early, we will pay you immediately."

"That's my money!" Zhang Yuan clenched his fists and looked angry.

Rob patted his shoulder and told him to calm down.

"Mr. Wang, Huayi can show more sincerity." Robert looked at the other party and said.

"Okay, since you asked, I'll give you some more conditions."

Zhang Yuan laughed secretly in his heart.

Are you two acting with me?
It's too obvious that they are singing the same tune.

After all, he is not a professional actor and his acting skills need to be improved.

However, Zhang Yuan did not expose the other party, but continued to act along with them.

"How about this, we at Huayi give you another termination compensation?"

"I don't want compensation, I want the person!" Zhang Yuan refused to give in.

"There are only a few people there."

"Yao Cheng is still the most popular female star."

"How would you feel if someone else poached your leading actress?" Zhang Yuan asked in return.

“Hehehe…” Xiao Wang chuckled.

I thought to myself that it was impossible, we were the only ones poaching others, how could others poach us?

"You want someone, right?" Xiao Wang pointed to the ceiling.

"We have plenty of people in Huayi."

"If you like any of them, you can take them away."

Zhang Yuan was just waiting for him to say this!
Suppress the excitement in your heart.

"Then I want Li Bingbing." Zhang Yuan raised his hand.

Wang Zhonglei: …

Return Li Bingbing to us!

Why don't you let me go with you?
To be honest, even if Xiao Wang wanted to come, he wouldn't want to be accepted!

"How about Zhou Xun?" Zhang Yuan continued.

"Haha." Xiao Wang didn't take his words seriously at all.

"But in my heart, Yao Cheng is the future Li Bingbing, Zhou Xun, and Fan Bingbing!" Zhang Yuan answered, deliberately exaggerating.

"Okay, okay, stop making such impossible requests."

"Let's talk about money."

"I'll make it up to you."

"Make a price."

"I want……"

Before Zhang Yuan could finish his words, Wang Zhonglei interrupted him.

"Don't go too far."

"Then I won't say anything." Zhang Yuan hugged his shoulders and shut his mouth.

Wang Zhonglei thought to himself, I knew you would definitely make up a sky-high price.

"Let's be honest."

"Zhang Yuan, our Huayi has been very kind to you and has given you many opportunities."

Zhang Yuan wanted to laugh, but he held it back.

Damn it, I asked Peter Lam for the role in The Banquet myself, and he treated me very well.

Good things never come to me.

I am the first one to be dug into a trap.

"We need to collaborate on this film, The Forbidden Kingdom."

“There will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future.”

"There's still a long way to go." Xiao Wang played the emotional card.

"This is just a normal turnover of people, which is not uncommon in the entertainment industry."

"You can tell me whatever you think."

He deliberately took a step back, wanting Zhang Yuan to take a step back as well.

Zhang Yuan saw that the time was almost right, and he sighed heavily.

"Hey……"

This long sigh was both helpless and sad.

The sadness is acted, but the helplessness is real.

Zhang Yuan is helpless because he does not have more time to develop.

If you give him a few more years, I will be able to kill you!

But now this is the best result.

He understood it from the beginning.

It is a foregone conclusion that Yao Cheng will leave.

Of course, he didn't dare to stay if the woman wanted to.

Who dares to keep a traitor around?

So his goal has always been to reduce losses.

Use Yao Cheng to exchange for more things.

The prerequisite for exchanging things is that the other party is willing to talk and negotiate with you properly.

Therefore, he could only use the popularity of "Blue and White Porcelain" to drag Robert into the water.

There is no way, the Eight Banners descendants are only afraid of foreigners.

"Now that it has come to this."

“I misjudged him, too.”

"Boss Wang, are you sure you want her that much?"

"Just like you said, she can be the next Li Bingbing, Zhou Xun, or Fan Bingbing." Xiao Wang answered confidently.

"But the prerequisite is with the help of our Huayi."

What he meant was, you can't do it, we have to do it.

"Okay!" Zhang Yuan slammed the table, startling the remaining two people.

"Well, I want the money."

"I want people too."

"Also, I have a few additional conditions..."

……

A few days later, Zhang Yuan signed an early termination agreement with Yao Cheng in Huayi’s office building.

Both parties are clear of all claims, and Yao Cheng does not have to pay Zhang Yuan any compensation for breach of contract.

After signing the agreement, Xiao Wang waved his hand and Huayi’s financial director immediately transferred the money.

Zhang Yuan's account soon received a sum of more than 1500 million yuan.

At this point, the principal and interest of "Soldier Assault" finally returned to him.

Zhang Yuan deeply felt the difficulty of living in this world.

It turns out that in this era, those who owe money are the boss.

As for the subsequent continued copyright income of "Soldier Assault".

Zhang Yuan no longer expected the other party to give it to him.

It would be great to get this money back.

At the same time, he felt relaxed.

The points that Hua Yi could use to control him were eliminated by himself.

He glanced at Yao Cheng.

Even if there was still a year and a half left on the contract, this woman could not earn back 1500 million yuan for him. Then, Zhang Yuan signed another termination agreement with Yao Cheng.

This was one of his conditions.

You can leave if you want.

Spit out the heroine of "Insidious" for me!

Yao Cheng hesitated for several times with great reluctance before finally signing his name.

Xiao Wang also noticed her dilemma.

After signing two more contracts, Zhang Yuan and Xiao Wang shook hands and made peace.

"Director Rob, I will be at the crew's training base on time next week."

"And I will double my training to make up for the previous losses."

"Very good, Zhang!" Rob also smiled when he heard him say that.

"You are very professional, I look forward to your performance..."

And the box office you'll bring me.

After saying this, he said goodbye to them.

When Xiao Wang saw Zhang Yuan leaving, she took Yao Cheng to visit the private office and lounge prepared for her.

There will also be a welcome party held for her in the evening.

"Don't worry." Xiao Wang comforted cheerfully.

"Are you still struggling with the film you just cancelled your contract with?"

"Don't worry, we will immediately arrange a work for you after you come to Huayi."

“And it’s a film work.”

"It's not the low-budget movie you starred in before. It's a big production."

"Besides, it's just a TV show!"

After being persuaded, Yao Cheng also nodded.

“Yes, I will make movies in the future.”

"No matter how good "Insidious" is, it's just a TV series..."

After returning to the courtyard, Cheng Hao was waiting for him anxiously.

"done?"

"Ah."

"Come, sit down and have some water first." The good sister immediately asked the aunt to pour him tea.

After a while, the good sister leaned over and asked carefully.

"Terminated the contract?"

"Did you get the money?"

"Yes, it's all done." Zhang Yuan confirmed.

"But in this way, we are still at a loss." The good sister got angry when she thought about it.

The two brothers of the Wang family are really inhumane and always bully their own people.

"You are nominally from Huayi, how could they do this?"

"He's just a bully at home." Zhang Yuan waved his hands and didn't care at all.

"What you mentioned before, the capital increase..." The good sister couldn't remember the term for a moment.

“Increase capital and expand shares.”

Zhang Yuan added.

“They agreed to this condition.”

Zhang Yuan did not ask for cash compensation.

Instead, he added a clause to his equity contract.

After financing, Huayi cannot dilute its shares in the bet agreement.

Increasing capital and expanding shares will dilute the original equity and issue shares to new shareholders.

So when you have this situation, if you add an anti-dilution agreement, there are a few outcomes.

In addition to a very small reduction in shareholding, you can also supplement proportional funds to maintain your equity share.

For example, if the capital increase is 1 million, and you have 1% of the shares, you should pay the company 100 million to maintain your own equity ratio.

This is just a simple example, the actual situation is much more complicated.

The new contract Zhang Yuan signed is to let Huayi help him bear this part of the cost to ensure that his equity share will not be compressed by financing.

Otherwise he would have to pay Huayi money.

"You really want Huayi's shares so badly."

"Of course." Zhang Yuan replied firmly.

No matter how much conflict there is between me and Huayi, I still have to make money.

"Okay, I support you no matter what you do." Cheng Hao expressed his position.

"By the way, someone is here to see you."

"Yes!" Zhang Yuan immediately stood up: "Where is it?"

"I have arranged to rest in the small reception room and wait for you."

"Tea and snacks were served."

"It's been a while."

"Let's go and meet him!" Zhang Yuan rubbed his hands and went to the reception room with his good sister.

After opening the door, I saw a girl who looked short but was actually not short, eating and drinking heartily.

When he saw someone coming, he turned his head and stood up.

At this stop, the pastry crumbs on the bright yellow dress fell to the ground.

Zhang Yuan saw that her cheeks were puffed up and she was still chewing.

Obviously he ate a lot.

"Hello, it's our first meeting. Please take care of me in the future." Zhang Yuan greeted warmly and extended his hand.

He was stunned for a moment, then he choked hard to swallow the food in his mouth, then he smiled innocently and shook hands with him.

After letting go, Zhang Yuan clapped his hands.

Hands full of the flavor of osmanthus cake.

"You love these cakes. I'll ask Auntie to give you some more."

"Okay." He nodded.

The good sister thought to herself, how can a girl eat like this?

Besides, most people shouldn't be polite and say no at this time.

Cheng Hao turned around to greet his aunt and whispered to Zhang Yuan.

"Is this the person you exchanged for?"

"Why do you look not so smart?"

When the person came, Cheng Hao looked at him carefully.

She thought to herself, has Zhang Yuan changed his taste?

There are no big waves either.

He has an average build and doesn't look very tall.

As for appearance... small round face, a little rustic.

There was still a hint of country red on her cheeks.

When she smiles, she looks a little silly, which is still quite cute.

So she wondered if Zhang Yuan's preferences had changed.

Are you feeling cute now?

Her looks and figure are not particularly outstanding in the entertainment industry.

He has not appeared in any well-known works.

I'm not a professional yet.

So, what did Zhang Yuan see in her?
"You can't judge intelligence by appearance alone."

"If it's all about looks, then what's Baoqiang?"

"That's right." Cheng Hao nodded in praise.

This person is the last condition proposed by Zhang Yuan and Hua Yi.

He used Yao Cheng to exchange someone from Huayi.

He pretended not to know about Yao Cheng's contact with Hua Yi, and acted so excited and angry when Xiao Wang confronted him, just to hide the fact that he already knew the inside story.

At the same time, it is also to cover up this person.

I can’t let Xiao Wang know that I know everything.

He must feel that he was forced to do it, or even that he did it on impulse.

Otherwise, based on their understanding of me, if I set my eyes on someone, Hua Yi would definitely hold on to them and not let them leave.

In order to reduce their suspicion, he had to start from the beginning.

Fortunately, Huayi was no longer concerned about anything else because of Yao Cheng, a famous actress, and the listing.

Moreover, the person that Zhang Yuan "replaced" was indeed not valued, so they agreed.

In Zhang Yuan's opinion, this person's potential is much greater than Yao Cheng's.

It's just that I didn't have the chance to get involved before, so I have been waiting for her contract with Huayi to expire.

Now, as soon as there is a chance, he will pull it to his side in advance to save the effort later.

"Just sit down, don't be nervous."

"From now on, this will be your second home. You can come and play anytime and eat whatever you want." Zhang Yuan asked her to sit down.

Look at this girl with a hint of spirit between her eyebrows.

"If you have any problems in the future, you can always look for your sister Cheng Hao."

"Whether it's acting or life."

For a girl, it's not always appropriate to look for myself.

"Yes, come to me if you have any problems." Cheng Hao took out his cell phone.

"Please leave me a phone number."

"By the way, how do you write your name?"

"Why don't you fight it yourself?"

Cheng Hao handed the phone to the other party.

The girl lowered her head and slowly typed the three characters "Zhao Liying" on the screen... (End of this chapter)
