Chapter 535 Wang Baoqiang Wants to Be a Director! (Second update! Please subscribe!)

\"Has Zhao Wei not replied yet?\"

Early in the morning on the 12th, Tang An called Zhao Jun to ask about the termination of the contract with Zhao Wei.

\"I already looked for her yesterday afternoon, and the conversation was not pleasant. I thought she wanted to think about it, but I made four consecutive calls this morning and no one answered.\" Zhao Jun answered truthfully.

\"No one picks up?\"

Tang An was a little surprised, no matter if he wanted to negotiate terms or something, he wouldn\'t stop answering the phone, even if you let the manager deal with it.

Tang An thought for a while and said, \"It\'s fine if she doesn\'t want to talk about it. I\'ll let the legal department prepare it. Don\'t worry about it. The filming of \"Lost in Hong Kong\" will start in a month, and it won\'t be long before the Spring Festival. Get the film ready first. The preparations for \"Interstellar\" cannot be left behind.\"

\"Then what if she comes to contact me later?\" Zhao Jun asked again.

\"As of five o\'clock this afternoon, if she is willing to resolve it peacefully, that\'s fine. Otherwise, the contract will be terminated by force, and I will spit out the 200 million yuan!\" Tang An said in a deep voice.

\"That\'s fine, Chairman, I understand.\" Zhao Jun nodded and went on busy.

Tang An then made a phone call to get the legal department ready.

After staying in the company for a while, Tang An took people out of the company and came to a hotel in Haidian District, where he saw Wang Baoqiang in the box.

I rejected him before, but now I want to invite him to continue to star in \"囧带\". Even though Tang An is much higher than him in terms of status, I still have to give him a step down and give him enough face.

\"Baoqiang, Mr. Song, hello.\" Tang An and Wang Baoqiang greeted his manager Song Ze.

The two of them also hurriedly greeted each other.

\"Hello Tang Dong.\"

After a few words of pleasantries, they were seated. Tang An didn\'t talk about business directly, but chatted casually.

\"The last time Baoqiang saw you, you were still in Huayi. Now you are your own boss. How is the company going?\"

Wang Baoqiang said hastily, \"The company is not bad. It\'s because of your success, Mr. Tang, that I have set an example. Otherwise, I wouldn\'t have done it myself.\"

Tang An smiled, \"What you said doesn\'t mean that if I don\'t leave, you won\'t be able to start your own company.\"

\"I really don\'t know if I have the courage. After all, there are many difficulties in doing it myself.\" Wang Baoqiang said.

Song Ze next to him also answered, \"You don\'t know Tang Dong, but I hesitated for a while when I advised him to go it alone.\"

Tang An said with a smile, \"It\'s good to be cautious, but when it\'s time to take risks, you still have to fight hard.\"

To be honest, Tang An still admires Wang Baoqiang very much. From a grassroots to a big star to a successful capital, he can be regarded as an absolute success in any industry.

And he is smart enough, not like a human being.

At the beginning, it may be simple, but after staying in the entertainment industry for a long time, people will always mature.

The divorce case with his wife is a classic, and it is impossible for people with no brains to do it.

Later, after he didn\'t get the investment share of \"囧囧 in Hong Kong\", there were two movies in front of him.

There is a Chinese-Korean co-production \"The Bad Guys Must Die\", produced by Feng Xiaogang, with an investment of over [-] million yuan, and \"Detective Chinatown\".

\"Bad Guys Must Die\" had a higher investment and a higher salary. In the end, he chose \"Detective Chinatown\" and participated in the investment.

After chatting casually for a while, Tang An also got down to business.

\"Baoqiang, I guess you know what it is this time. You are the leading actor in \"囧囧 in Hong Kong\". How about I give you 5% of the investment?\" Tang An looked at him with a smile.

\"Tang Dong, you are looking for me because you think highly of me, and I will accept \"Lost in Hong Kong.\" Wang Baoqiang agreed without thinking too much.

The next thing is to talk about the price, the salary is 700 million, and Xu Zheng is also at the same price. When he signed the contract with Xu Zheng, he just rushed to \"Modern Times\". The salary is not high. The director\'s salary is 800 million, and the actor\'s salary is 700 million. 1500 million, the dividend is 5% of the domestic box office producers.

Wang Baoqiang didn\'t worry too much about the salary, Xu Zheng took 700 million, and he couldn\'t exceed this amount at most.

With a 5% investment share, if the box office exceeds one billion yuan, plus a salary of 700 million yuan, the movie can earn nearly 2000 million yuan.

This is not counting the other benefits of the success of the movie, there is no reason not to accept it, especially since I just came out of Huayi and I don\'t have any particularly good resources.

Tang An had settled the deal, and Wang Baoqiang had to sign the contract with the crew, and they had a meal together at noon.

After the dinner, Wang Baoqiang and his manager Song Ze returned to their newly established company by car.

After sitting down, Wang Baoqiang said, \"Lao Song, Director Tang personally invited me this time. It seems that he should pay more attention to me. If \"Lost in Hong Kong\" is successful, I want to try to make a movie by myself.\"

Song Ze asked someone to pour two glasses of water, and said in surprise, \"You made a movie by yourself, did you make a mistake?\"

At this time, there has not been a large-scale upsurge of actors, singers, hosts, writers, etc. who have achieved a lot in various aspects to switch careers to become directors. Wang Baoqiang\'s words made Song Ze baffled.

Wang Baoqiang took a sip of water and continued, \"I finally understand that actors have no status. In \"Lost in Hong Kong\", I only have a 5% investment share in addition to the film salary. Xu Zheng\'s director\'s share is 5%, and his studio has 30% % investment, even if he only owns 30% of the studio’s shares, that’s still 9% of the share, if the box office has one billion, he can earn at least 4000 million.”

\"I make my own movies, and the cost of comedy movies doesn\'t need to be too high. It\'s better to ask Director Tang to distribute it than to take the movie and get that little salary!\"

There is no doubt that everyone wants to make more money, Xu Zheng can earn so much from actor to director, Wang Baoqiang also has this idea in his heart.

Song Ze smiled and didn\'t take it seriously. Is it easy to be a director? He probably doesn\'t even know the models of cameras.

On the early morning of the 13th, Tang An got up early.

During this period, I was not too busy. I went to bed early and woke up early every day, and I could go for a run in the morning, and sometimes I went to the next-door international championship golf course.

Of course, not to play, he will not.

Today is the first game of the NBA Finals. Playing golf is better than watching basketball. The first game seems to be that James was beaten up by Du Xiaoshuai and lost.

After going out for a run, the driver, bodyguard, and secretary were already waiting at the door.

Seeing Tang An coming back from the outside, secretary Zhou Li immediately walked up to him, her face full of worry, \"Chairman, something happened!\"

\"What\'s the matter, come in and talk.\" Tang An wiped his sweat and let them enter the room.

\"what happened?\"

\"Chairman, someone on Weibo suddenly broke the news that we wanted to unilaterally break the contract and change actors because of Zhao Wei\'s high salary, and the person who broke the news claimed to be an employee of our company.\"

Zhou Li immediately opened the tablet and handed it to Tang An.

\"Our internal employees broke the news? Interesting.\" Tang An took the tablet with a smile.
