Chapter 294 Charity Dinner
Back in the evening, Tang An and Xu Manyun talked about the sequel of "On the Journey".

"I have already talked with Xu Zheng about the creation of the sequel of "People on the Journey". When the time comes, if he needs help, you can watch it yourself."

Xu Manyun leaned cross-legged on the sofa, tapping on the keyboard with his hands.

"How much production fee are you going to give him this time?"

"Not counting promotional fees and film remuneration, the maximum is 2000 million. The share of "People on the Journey" is enough, and there are more."

"2000?"

Xu Manyun asked in surprise, "Are you using film this time?"

"No, it's still a digital camera, but this time the shooting location may be abroad, so it will be more expensive." Tang An shook his head.

In fact, there is no difference between digital cameras and film for this type of movie, because its focus is mainly on the funny plot, and it is too wasteful to use film, and now the gap between digital cameras and film is very small. In two years Film film should withdraw from the stage of history.

Moreover, China Film Digital has replaced digital projectors across the country. Currently, half of the screens using digital projection have been used.

Xu Manyun suddenly thought of something, put the laptop on the coffee table, turned his head and said.

"Since "People on the Journey" is going to be made into a series, why not sign Xu Zheng to make two movies in three years or three movies in five years, or else if this series really has a future, he will pick it up Or how to divide it?"

Xu Manyun's worries are not unreasonable. The most worrying thing about the series of films is the high salary and the actors and directors who are required to bring capital into the group and share dividends.

In Hollywood, a big hit series can usually create a superstar in the 2000 million club, and even have a share.

Series superstars are also superstars.

Depp and Robert Downey Jr. are typical examples. It is not surprising that a movie earns 5000 to [-] million.

As the employer, I definitely don't want to see this kind of situation. The most sensible choice is to sign three or five film contracts at once, once and for all.

Tang An shook his head and rejected her proposal, "It doesn't make much sense. Xu Zheng is not only an actor, he is also a director. If he doesn't accept it, a director of the [-] million yuan club is still very valuable now. He won't worry about finding it." When it comes to the project, it is still a project that can be completely decided by itself.”

"Then what if he doesn't participate in the following series?"

"As long as the benefits are enough, naturally I am not afraid, and I will earn money together."

Capable directors and actors will definitely set up their own studios or even start companies in the future. It is impossible to bind people together.

In the future, he will definitely recruit some actors and stars to form a studio, and Tang An will be a part of it.

Occupy a certain share, but do not interfere with the operation.

It is equivalent to an investment, saving the trouble of running a studio.

And Tang An's casting is just the priority of some characters, and those who are suitable for their roles are given priority to them.

A competent director can participate in the investment in the name of the studio, and the interests are bound.

It saves the huge and bloated brokerage business, and unites a large number of excellent directors and actors around the company, which is much better than doing that troublesome brokerage business.

Tang An went to Huayi again the next day, but he forgot to mention something yesterday.

He went straight to Wang Zhongjun's office, knocked on the door and entered.

"Wang Dong."

"Mr. Tang is not resting at home, is there something wrong?" Wang Zhongjun asked suspiciously, "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" is going to be filmed in two days, so what's the big deal.

Tang An sat down opposite him and said, "Wang Dong, it will take a month for "Founding of the People's Republic of China" and I have to go to New York. Go to the computer, and then splice the material according to the script order, and then there will be more time."

"No problem, I'll talk to Mr. Chen later." Wang Zhongjun nodded in response.

"One more thing. There is a new entertainment charity dinner in Shanghai. Do we have any more invitations from our company?"

charity dinner?

Wang Zhongjun gave Tang An a surprised look. How could he suddenly remember to attend the dinner party? He didn't even go to Harper's Bazaar last year.

Although he was a little puzzled, Wang Zhongjun didn't say anything, and asked him to ask Liu Tao for a copy.

As one of the largest film and television companies in the industry, Huayi must have many invitations.

In this way, Tang An took more than 10 artists of the company to Shanghai by plane at noon.

Some artists from Huayi were going, and it happened that Tang An was also going, so he led the team.

This is considered a temporary arrest.

Wang Xiaoming, Lu Yi, Lin Xinru
Quite a few people went there. What the hell kind of charity dinner seemed to be hosted by the Shanghai Spiritual Civilization Construction Office, and it was also broadcast live by Dragon TV.

Tang An brought the dozen or so people to a hotel near the Shanghai Metropolitan Theater. It was a five-star hotel, which he had booked before he came.

Anyway, it was Huayi's money, and he booked 10 rooms in one go, and some of the lesser-known ones shared one room for two.

"Thank you Mr. Tang!"

These third-tier, or even third-tier starlets were very grateful, and they would just find a hotel for any activities they usually have.

The life of the low-level stars in the capital is not much better than that of some migrant workers in Beijing. Many events and red carpets cost money to go to, and they also have to buy cosmetics and clothes. If Huayi has a dormitory for them, they will probably live in the basement.

"Okay, go prepare yourself, and gather at 6 o'clock in the evening."

There are more than 3 hours, enough for them to put on makeup.

The female artists thanked again, and each went to their own rooms to make up and change clothes.

"Why are you two here? You're not tired after staying up for two months, aren't you? It seems that I'm still early from work every day."

Tang An turned to look at Wang Xiaoming and Lu Yi and said with a smile.

Wang Xiaoming quickly waved his hands and said, "Mr. Tang, I also stopped by to take a look. After the dinner, I will go to Nanjing with you. I also have a few scenes in "The Founding of the People's Republic of China"."

That's what happened.

"how about you?"

"I was shortlisted as the favorite charity star of the children in the disaster area, so I must come." Lu Yi said with a wry smile.

"Oh, what's going on?" Tang An asked curiously.

"Actually, it's nothing. Last year, I set up a poverty alleviation education fund for my daughter to help children from poor families complete their studies. Later, on the child's birthday in October, many fans spontaneously donated to the fund."

"Then you are well-deserved as a charity star."

Lu Yi said with some embarrassment, "Actually, I just want to do more good things to bless my daughter's safe growth. I didn't think so much."

"No matter what you think, at least you have done something good, and children who can't afford to read will benefit from it, and that's enough."

There's nothing wrong with winning prizes for charity. Could it be possible to let those who pretend to travel to the countryside to take some photos get them?

As for some people talking about putting on a show, if it really took energy and money, and there was no deceit, what about a show?
Spend your time and money to check it out!
Can't wait for everyone to put on a show!
Two hours later, those who should change their dresses changed their dresses and combed their hair.

Wang Xiaoming, Lu Yi, Lin Xinru, Li Xiaoru, BOBO Group, Deng Kai, Wang Kai, Wang Xiaochen, Zhao Liying
There are first-line stars and nine-line young actors, the lineup is not small.

"All ready, let's go!"

Tang An asked the hotel to arrange a convoy, and he didn't want a luxury car. It's better to keep a low profile for this charity party, otherwise he will be regarded as a fat sheep later.

The Shanghai Metropolitan Theater is not far away, less than a 10-minute drive away.

Since it is led by the government, the scale is not small.

The red carpet is indispensable, no matter what kind of event is going on nowadays, you have to walk on the red carpet.

Those entertainers were very excited, they didn't see such a big scene several times a year.

Tang An finished walking as fast as he could. He didn't come here today to attend any charity dinner.

He didn't go to the Harper's Bazaar charity dinner at the end of August last year. At that time, "Now You See Me" had already been drawn, so he didn't go to join in the fun, it was too noisy.

All year round, apart from promoting movies, or when I am bored, I will go out and participate in some activities.

Zhao Baogang and Yingda also came back from today's dinner, so Tang An wanted to stop by to inquire about Huayi's situation. After all, both of their companies are under Huayi's banner, so they have some understanding of Huayi's current situation.

It's too abrupt to come to the door suddenly, who would want to chat a few words if they meet by chance.

I rushed out of the reporter's long guns and shorts, entered the infield, and asked them to take some pictures.

"Hi Mr. Tang, welcome to the dinner party."

A person in charge of the organizer came out to greet him and brought Tang An to a table in the front row.

Dinner Dinner, of course, is a banquet, with food and drink.

There are nearly a hundred tables in the infield, and each table seats six or seven people, and the distance between each other is large enough, so it doesn't look crowded at all.
