Chapter 538 Admit it! (The first update asks for a subscription!)
"I didn't expect his net worth to reach this point. We underestimated him and overestimated our capabilities." Zhao Wei smiled bitterly.

200 billion, there are not many people in the country whose apparent net worth exceeds this figure!
"You didn't give him the attention he deserved, and it's normal to lose. Otherwise, based on the gap between Han Tang and Ah Li, it's not like there's no chance if you're fully prepared."

"But there is no chance now. I estimate that the court will file the case in three days or so. What is Miss Zhao going to do?" Zhang Qiang asked.

"What else can I do? Bow your head to Tang An. In this situation, going to court will only make things worse."

"That's right, ending this matter as soon as possible can save a little impact."

Zhang Qiang said again, "How about I accompany Ms. Zhao to the premiere of "The Master of Hypnotism" tonight?"

"Mr. Zhang is willing to come forward?" Zhao Wei was a little surprised.

Zhang Qiang smiled, "Strictly speaking, this matter is caused by me. If I didn't want to buy your share, this matter would not have happened."

"Tang An got angry mainly because of the acquisition of Wenhua Zhonghua and the opening of "Tomb Raider Notes". Zhang Wei's Spring Festival and summer files will target him. I don't agree with these two things."

"Then thank you, Mr. Zhang."

Although I don't know whether Zhang Qiang's words will work or not, I can only try, and at this time I can only admit cowardice.

"However, it's not that simple to appease Tang An's anger. Why doesn't Ms. Zhao invite Secretary Zhang to come forward? If he comes forward to make peace, Tang An should save face." Zhang Qiang said again.

This.
Zhao Wei naturally knew who he was talking about, the former deputy director of the Photoelectric Film Bureau, the vice president of China Film, and the current Secretary of the Broadcasting Art Troupe.

This is an old subordinate of her cousin when he was the head of the cultural troupe in Shanghai. He has always had a good relationship with their family, and Zhao Wei often went abroad to visit with him.

It's just that no matter how good the relationship is, if the favor is used one time at a time, it will always be used up.

But right now it's really a difficult time, and that's the only way to go.

Zhao Wei nodded, chatted for a few words, and left.

Watching Zhao Wei go out, Zhang Qiang smiled.

Zhao Wei and his wife were already raising funds to buy shares in Ahli Films, and the higher-ups did not refuse. At this time, by helping her, they added an ally for themselves.

At [-]:[-] p.m., Xin'ao Branch of Hantang International Film City, the flagship store of Hantang Cinema Line in Beijing, has become the preferred venue for the premiere of movies produced and distributed by Hantang Media.

On the Wednesday before the Dragon Boat Festival, "Master of Hypnotism" officially premiered in Beijing, and it will land in major domestic theaters tomorrow.

It was a low-cost movie with an investment of 2500 million, but there were quite a few media who came to the scene, and many of them came for the change of roles in "Lost in Hong Kong".

Tang An was asked about this one after another when he attended the premiere.

"About "Lost in Hong Kong", I have given full authority to director Xu Zheng for this film. Other issues are also handled by various departments of the company. The legal department will continue to follow up on the communication with Ms. Zhao Wei."

"It is said that director Tang changed roles this time to target the newly established Ahli Group?"

"The film is only related to the film, we act according to the contract, and after careful consideration, Director Xu and I both found that Ms. Zhao Wei is not the most suitable actress for "Lost in Hong Kong."

"Ah Li Pictures has invested in "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" after acquiring Wenhua Zhonghua, and also announced that it will compete with "Tomb Raiders Notes" for next year's summer vacation. What's Tang Dong's opinion on this?"

"Mergers and acquisitions between companies are commercial activities. As for the big IP of "Tomb Raiders Notes", it is also a popular movie before the success of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Finding the Dragon". It is not surprising that it chooses a popular schedule."

"Director Tang."

After dealing with it for a while, Tang An stopped paying attention to these reporters.

In the aisle leading to the screening room, just as Xu Manyun came out of it, Tang An asked, "Have Director Han and Secretary Zhang come yet?"

"It's already here. It looks like I'm here to intercede." Xu Manyun nodded, and walked inside side by side with him.

"It's really troublesome. Anyone who pops up at random has a lot to do with it." Tang An shook his head.

After more than ten years of ups and downs, who will have nothing to do with the background? In a few years, those traffic stars really think that they can make money with just a face?

No one behind has already been kicked down.

This time the backstage came again, and he was worried that Tang An would not follow him, so he invited Han Sanping over.

"That Secretary Zhang served as the deputy director of the Film Bureau, and Director Han has come forward, why don't we see if we can take a step back." Xu Manyun suggested.

"Let's take a look first."

Entering the screening room, many colleagues had already come first, Han Sanping was surrounded in the middle, followed by a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes with a square face.

Tang An immediately put on a smiling face and strode forward to meet him.

"Han Dong, you are here."

"Hello, Secretary Zhang."

Tang An greeted them one by one.

Although he is only the secretary of the Broadcasting Art Troupe, at any rate, an old man in his 50s, from the generation of Tang An, give him some face.

Seeing that they had something to talk about, the others left politely.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, we got straight to the point.

"Tang Dong, you see, I'm really sorry. Zhao Wei has caused you so much trouble. I have already educated her. If you do something wrong, you have to bear it. Please, Tang Dong, don't bother with her. I'll see if this matter goes to court. It's completely unnecessary, I'll let her terminate the contract for the movie "囧囧 in Hong Kong" right away." Secretary Zhang said with a chuckle.

Tang An glanced at Han Sanping and said with a smile, "Secretary Zhang is serious. It's just a trivial matter. I haven't been able to contact her. The movie is waiting to start shooting, so I have to do this."

A small matter was revealed in a few words, and it was not the same as a negotiation.

Just then Zhao Wei and Zhang Qiang came in, Secretary Zhang waved to Zhao Wei.

"Director Han, Secretary Zhang, Director Tang."

Zhao Wei hurriedly stepped forward to say hello one by one, feeling a little uneasy when looking at Tang An.

"What's the matter with you kid, Mr. Tang has been looking for you for two days and he hasn't replied to a letter or apologized to Mr. Tang." Secretary Zhang reprimanded with a cold face.

"I'm sorry, Director Tang. I've been in the hospital for two days because I didn't feel well recently. I'm causing you trouble." Zhao Wei said hastily.

Tang An narrowed his eyes and smiled, and said indifferently, "It's nothing serious. I'm also quite worried because I haven't been able to contact Ms. Zhao."

After expressing his apologies, Secretary Zhang took Zhao Wei and left.

After Han Sanping watched them leave, Tang An said with a smile, "Isn't it difficult for you?"

Tang An waved his hand and said, "What you said, Mr. Han, is just a trivial matter. Without your help, I would not have gone so smoothly in the past few years. Let her return the film salary tomorrow, and then issue an announcement to apologize to the crew."

Tang An was telling the truth, from the military in "Edge of Tomorrow", the space agency in "The Martian", and the Icelandic government in "Interstellar", and other movies, Han Sanping was troubled.

Tang An has nothing to do with the military. Even if your film is to promote your own country, it is a positive image, and people don't necessarily care about you.

Wu Jing's "Wolf Warriors" series was approved by the Nanjing Military Region. The Military Region helped a lot in the review. It was because he trained in the Military Region for 18 months and got connected with the Art Center of the Military Region through Liu Mengcai.
If you want to change to someone else, you will be rejected in all likelihood with this notebook.

In the United States, if you have money, you can ask the military to assist in the filming. The US Department of Defense has set up a film liaison office. After passing the review, you can send warships and planes, even aircraft carriers.

It doesn't matter if you have money in the country, don't even think about it.

The harvest obtained through Han Sanping is not a one-off, at least it has connected with many domestic departments, and the senior officials of the optoelectronics and publicity departments all know each other.

Iceland could have contacted Fox and Columbia, but it owed them favors, and after all the calculations it was still not worthwhile, so I went to Han Sanping.

Anyway, the debt is not overwhelming, and Han Sanping has already owed a lot of favors.

Moreover, repaying Han Sanping's favor will not lose his own interests, and even have benefits.

"I'm doing this for your own good. Although I owed Lao Zhang favors before, his recent performances at the Broadcasting Art Troupe have satisfied the leaders above. The foreign leaders have praised him. I think I will retire in two years. It's going to be transferred back to the group." Han Sanping sighed.

"Take your class?" Tang An asked in surprise.

It's no secret that Han Sanping is going to resign. He's going to be 60 next year, and Tang An didn't say anything flattering.

It is also impossible. The chairman of China Film Group Co., Ltd. was taken over by Kang Pei, and Jiao Luofen, chairman of China Film Group, took over. It is unrealistic to jump directly from the Broadcasting Art Troupe to take over the leadership. Not to be Han Sanping's deputy.

Han Sanping shook his head, "That's not true, but it's either the vice chairman or the general manager. It's not sure whether it's China Film Group or China Film Group."

"But you don't have anything to worry about. Lao Zhang came here this time to save the face of Zhao Wei's deceased cousin. After ten years, no matter how sentimental you are, you have paid off. And you are now the number one director of commercial films in China. The leaders of the Propaganda Department are all registered there, as long as you don’t make mistakes.”

Tang An smiled, "What mistake can I make? The movies I make are all positive energy. Don't worry, Director Han."

"By the way, Director Han, I heard that China Film Group is planning to go public again. Is this true?"

Han Sanping shook his head, "The team will be handed over in less than two years. At this time, the listing authority will not agree, unless the domestic market explodes again."

Tang An smiled, "At that time, Director Han, do you think I can get a board seat?"

Han Sanping glanced at Tang An, "Don't think about it, it's useless if you fight, when the big banks, CCTV, and Cable TV will share a little bit, there won't be many loose shares in circulation, even if they are all collected, it will be too late." Can't get a board seat."

Tang An shrugged, "Forget it."

Since it's going to be listed, it's a big deal if you still hold on to the shares.

The seven theater chains in which China Film Group holds shares are enviable, and together they are stronger than Wanda.

Putting this topic aside, Tang An said instead, "Director Han, is the memorandum of understanding we signed with Mi Guo finalized?"

"Basically determined, the quota has increased by 14, and the share has been raised to 25%.".

"What about the question about the qualifications of private film and television companies to introduce overseas films?"

Han Sanping snorted, "I don't know which news is spread out, but the Americans think well. Do you think it's possible?"

It's really impossible. There was indeed news of this before, but there was no movement within two days.

The account sharing sheet still mentions 25% of the share, and the quota has been increased to 34. The life of domestic films is not easy.

PS; No black stars, no matter whether it is true or false, you cannot write, this is a red line, and I cannot touch it.
