China Entertainment Times

Chapter 46
After answering the reporter's questions, Lin Sheng wrapped a red envelope for each reporter, and then everyone went to the hotel box for the banquet.

And the middle-aged man who came uninvited before also followed in.

Seeing something unfamiliar, Tang An didn't have any impression in his mind, so he pulled Lin Sheng to ask.

"That's Zhao Jun, the vice president of Huayi's production department!" Lin Sheng introduced from the side.

People from Huayi?

What are you looking for?
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Tang An entered the big box and sat down. Zhao Jun also introduced himself without saying anything.

Fortunately, the celebration banquet was paid by China Film Group, otherwise there would be no money to pay for it later.

During this period of time, Tang An's savings are running out, and he doesn't know when the landlord will come back to demand the rent!

With little money in his pocket, Tang An couldn't care less about the embarrassment, and told Han Sanping about his embarrassment, asking him to pay a little of the box office share first.

"Of course it's no problem. Director Tang spent all his wealth on this movie. This is the determination we Huaguo filmmakers should have. After I go back, I will let the finance company settle part of it for you first!" Han Sanping laughed.

"Thank you Director Han, I offer you a toast!" Tang An picked up the cup and stood up, raised his head and drank it down.

"Director Tang has now become a multi-millionaire. He does not rely on his elders, but relies on his own efforts. There are not many millionaires in the whole country at such an age!" Chen Guofu sighed.

Multi-millionaire, 3000 million box office is not enough, and the movie is still in theaters.

In his previous life, apart from the house he bought in the capital, Tang An really never had so much money!
The guests and hosts had a good time at the banquet, and it ended after an hour.

Before leaving, Chen Guofu also told him that the overseas copyright of his next film must be handed over to the Colombian agency.

However, Huayi's deputy director, Zhao Jun, was at the end, and he explained his purpose after everyone had left.

"Director Tang, I wonder if you are interested in joining Huayi?"

Zhao Jun directly stated his intention, which shocked Tang An.

What's going on here? Some time ago, a large number of directors related to Hua Yi were still blackmailing me, and now they invite me to join.

Is this just trying to win you over?

"Mr. Zhao is joking, your company has no shortage of excellent directors, how could you fall in love with me!" Tang An said with a faint smile.

Huayi not only has many actors, but also many directors.After all, unlike Berna who specializes in distribution and occasionally dabbles in some big-budget movies, Huayi's main business is still film and television production. After all, there are so many actors in the company, and there are not enough movies to support them.

Tang An didn't have the idea of ​​joining Huayi. Now he wants money, money, and people. He doesn't have people yet, and because of the success of "Shark Beach", China Film will definitely give preferential treatment in the announcement of the next movie. , why go to Huayi?

Huayi's current distribution capacity is not even half that of Bernard's, and only Feng Xiaogang's films can get preferential treatment in major theaters.

And Bernard has almost monopolized the distribution of Xiangjiang films in the mainland, and they are more popular in theaters.

For Tang An's refusal, Zhao Jun expected it, after all, Hua Yi's shadow was in the previous incident.

However, he has confidence in himself. As the largest film and television production company in China, Huayi will not be rejected by any small director.

"Director Tang, you don't have a stable and excellent team yet. As a director, you should know how important a team has been working together for many years. As long as you join, we will recruit a group of professional talents to form a team for you. A directing team of your own!"

"Moreover, we will allocate an investment of 1500 million yuan to you every year, which is enough to make a medium-cost movie, and we will also devote the most resources to publicity and distribution!"

Zhao Jun spoke confidently, not worried at all that Tang An would refuse.

However, Tang An really simply refused.

"Sorry Mr. Zhao, I don't have the idea of ​​signing a company yet!"

"Director Tang!"

Zhao Jun frowned, "If it's because of Director Lu, we can ask him to apologize to you!"

"No need, Director Lu did nothing wrong. It was normal to have doubts in that situation!" Tang An waved his hand.

"Director Tang, everyone will work together in the future. It is not easy for Director Lu to be willing to apologize!" Zhao Jun said with some displeasure.

"Mr. Zhao, as I said, I don't have any plans to sign a company yet, so you should find someone else!" Tang An took Yang Mi out of the hotel regardless of his reaction after speaking.

Looking at Tang An's leaving back, Zhao Jun made calls one after another with a gloomy face.

"Wang Dong, Tang An refused!"

"I've said everything I need to say, but he still refuses!"

Back at the hotel, Tang An and Yang Mi could finally take a rest, instead of running publicity.

After sleeping until the afternoon, I got up and ordered a few dishes with the two of them in the restaurant downstairs, and then settled dinner in the room.

"Tang An, why don't you join Huayi, it's more convenient to have a company behind you!" Xu Manyun asked the question in his heart during the meal.

Tang An picked up a chopstick of green pepper, swallowed it without chewing twice, his throat felt hot and comfortable, and took another sip of cold beer before saying, "Do you know that the big shop bullies you!"

Xu Manyun was thoughtful, "Are you afraid that if you go to Huayi, you won't be free?"

"That's right!" Tang An nodded!

"Ordinary directors don't have project leadership in Huayi. Several directors in the production department can block you, and it's like working in a company. You are an employee, and you will shoot whatever the higher-ups ask you to shoot. There is no right to choose at all!"

"Only when you reach a certain level can you really lead your own projects. The Wang brothers and the production director will not interfere at will. The formation of the crew and the selection of actors can be decided with one word."

"Obviously, I've only made one movie now, and I don't have the qualifications yet. Once I join Huayi, I basically have the only chance to continue making this kind of low-budget thriller!"

Some are similar to Shaw Brothers in the last century. Ordinary stars are working part-time, and only some big stars can sign "total contracts"!
He ate and drank dinner for half an hour before Xu Manyun cleared away all the lunch boxes.

Watching Xu Manyun go out to take out the trash, Yang Mi whispered to Tang An, "Brother An, what are you going to do next movie!"

"It's still a horror movie. Let's practice with a small-budget movie first, but this role is not suitable for you, you are too young!" Tang An looked at her and smiled.

Why didn't he understand Yang Mi's thoughts, although she was usually quite simple.After all, I have been filming since I was a child, even the most innocent people will put more emphasis on fame and fortune in their hearts.

During this period of time, it was publicized every day that Yang Mi had completely entered the state that a star should have after the first two days of discomfort.

Although this movie is a typical film that is not popular, after all, it mainly relies on the story and rhythm to attract the audience. She is at most a third-tier star now.

But third-tier stars are also stars, and they can cause fans to scream wherever they go. Tang An found that Yang Mi was already immersed in this feeling, so he wanted to continue making his own movies.

It can't be said that Yang Mi is too utilitarian. At most, the little girl suddenly changed into a beautiful dress. She has been wearing coarse clothes before, so she will inevitably be fascinated by the beautiful skirts, and the more she wants more beautiful skirts!
