Chapter 371 The Boss's Vengeance Is So Strong!
After Zhou Xia thought about it carefully, he decided not to play the male lead Wang Xiaojian.

The company has signed so many young and potential actors, and if they don't give them a chance, it will be a problem for actresses to play in the future.

He can't play for them one by one, to praise them, can he?

There is actually no problem with Tangtang playing the role of Huang Xiaoxian, and this is also a good opportunity to correct her acting attitude.

Tangtang's main problem is that she has acted in too many TV dramas, and her image has solidified, which always makes people feel silly and sweet. In fact, as long as her acting skills and image are well trained by the director, she can still complete this role very well.

"Senior, although I haven't read your script, I have read Bao Jingjing's book, and I wanted to buy it at the time. She said that she had already told you that she planned to make a movie, so our company gave up. But I didn't expect to turn around. You still found us.

How about this, I won't be the hero, I can play a cameo role, the hero and heroine, I recommend our company's King Kaikai and Tangtang to play?what do you think? "

Zhou Xia looked at Teng Huatao who was sitting across from him, and politely asked what he meant.

Teng Huatao graduated from the Literature Department of Nortel, and has a wide network of contacts in the film and television industry.

In the past few years, he has directed several well-received TV dramas such as "Double-sided Tape", "Snail House", and "Wang Gui and Anna", which have been recognized by the circle, and he has won the praises of Haiqing, Zhang Jiayi, Wei Zheng and others, and has accumulated some contacts.

In addition, he also has some contacts from his father.

His father, Teng Wenji, is a famous director of the fourth generation. Together with directors such as Xie Fei and Wu Tianming, he created the second golden age of domestic films.

When Teng Huatao heard Zhou Xia's words, he hesitated to speak and became silent.

"What's the matter, senior? Don't you have someone in mind?"

Zhou Xia recalled that Teng Huatao had a very good relationship with her coat of arms. They seemed to have decided to work together on this movie when they were filming "The Era of Naked Marriage".

"Yes, I want to use the coat of arms for the male lead. I know him very well. His image and acting skills are very suitable for the male lead." Teng Huatao still said it.

"That's it..., he is impossible. The senior should have heard about us. Besides, he is not the only one who is suitable for this role. You can meet our two actors first, okay?" Zhou Xia said nothing. Hesitant to refuse.

He had had conflicts with the seal because of the two battles for roles before. Although the seal was born in the abandoned capital, he has a very close relationship with the Beijing circle.

Some time ago, Zhou Xia argued with the directors and actors of xj, as well as two big shots in the Beijing circle, and the coat of arms came out and dissed him.

"Well, in terms of actors, I can use Xia Hua's people. King Kai Kai and Tang Tang are both from Chinese dramas. I have seen their plays, and their acting skills are basically fine, but I hope Xia Hua will not interfere with my creation. "

Teng Huatao hesitated slightly, but gave in.

King Kaikai and Tangtang's popularity and acting skills are very good. If you don't agree, you're afraid you'll miss out on this investor and you won't be able to find another one.

"Don't worry, senior. I'm also the director. I won't interfere with your creation. Just send a producer to assist you. By the way, this drama needs several guest couples. You can choose Xia Hua's actors to participate."

"Okay, okay, this is the best. It would be the best if Sisi and Xiaohu could be invited to play guest roles." Teng Huatao was happy when he heard Zhou Xia agreed to his conditions.

"You have to communicate with their managers to see what they want."

"understood."

The two discussed the movie for a while, and Teng Huatao left the script for Zhou Xia to have a chance to read it, so he said goodbye happily.

After seeing off Teng Huatao, Zhou Xia and Zhang Zhao came back to continue talking about things.

"Boss, the Green Hornet's reputation is very mediocre. Apart from taking away 15% of our film schedule, after the first week, it shouldn't pose much of a threat. But next week, around Valentine's Day, three films will be released.

Hollywood blockbusters, "Deadly Companion" starring Depp and Jolie; and "I Know Women's Hearts" starring Gong Huang and Hua Tsai; and "Love to the End" directed by Zhang Yibai may pose a threat to us. "

"Actually, if we talk about these few films, they won't threaten us. The main reason is that we have too many films, which has a great impact on us."

Zhou Xia sighed slightly, there are still too few domestic screens, and the reduced film schedule will have a great impact on the box office.

"The boss doesn't like these movies?" Zhang Zhao's opinion of Zhou Xia, the boss, is now very important.

"Yes, "Deadly Companion" can't even attract European and American audiences, how many audiences can it capture us? As for the other two movies, "Jiang Ai" should be good because of the genre and the previous TV series; For "I Know Women's Hearts", it will only be popular for a few days. The most important thing is to see if our attendance can be stabilized and we can get more films."

Zhang Zhao nodded slightly, "Well, the theater has an agreement with us. As long as the attendance rate is high, our schedule should be stable at 25% to 30%, or even higher."

"If we can really maintain a 30% screening rate and show it for a month, the box office may exceed one billion!" Zhou Xia said expectantly.

"Yes, I will try to communicate with the theaters. It seems that there is still a market for successful comedies. Think about "Crazy Stone", "If You Are the One 1, 2", "People on Journey", which movie? It's not about making a big difference with a small one, and achieving success.

Our movie is a comedy, with idols, youth, music and other elements, whether it is combined well, it has achieved such a great success, which provides a good model for the company! "

Zhang Zhao said happily, and said again: "Boss, I heard that Xu Zheng has been planning "On the Journey 2", and not many companies are optimistic about his transformation to become a director. His good friend Chen Zhixi is everywhere in the circle. He is looking for an investor, do you think I want to contact her?"

"Of course it's good. Teng Huatao can be a film director, why can't Xu Zheng? He is a comedy star!" Zhou Xia immediately became happy when he heard the news.

If Xu Guangtou can be brought to Xia Hua, not to mention one more cash cow in the future, Xia Hua will have another successful director of commercial films in terms of movies.

"Okay, there is nothing else, then I will go to work first."

"Well, hurry up and do this. "People on the Journey" is a series. I remember that Xu Zheng has no copyright. You go to get the copyright first, and then talk to Xu Zheng. By the way, Hua Yi is like us now. , pay attention to their various movements, they have also got together with Sugar Man!"

"Understood, if you have such a trouble with Hua Yi, I'm afraid they will cause trouble for many awards in the future. Hua Yi is very influential in this regard."

"It's okay. Hua Yi has been in business for a long time. She has contacts in the Beijing circle and has made many seniors. Speaking of circles, I don't think the Beijing circle is better than the Northwest circle. It's just that the Beijing circle likes to form small groups, and more Unity only.

The Northwest circle is just a family background, there is no clear circle. Speaking of the judges and directors of the older generation, how many of them are not from the West Film Studio back then, or are inextricably related to the West Film Studio.

We, Xia Hua, must get closer to and respect these old seniors in this regard. In the future, we will invite them to participate in cultural activities such as TV dramas, movies, and film seminars. The more times we have, everyone will get closer to us Xia Hua stand up.

Awards are such a thing, otherwise why are there always big upsets?If the level is similar, then the bias of the judges is very important at this time. "

"This company can do it, but I'm afraid those old artists won't buy it and think we are bribing them." Zhang Zhao said helplessly.

"Well, let's use my own name, especially the seniors who have worked with me these few times, don't give any expensive gifts during the holidays, just a greeting card, a movie ticket from the company or something.

If the company's play is suitable, just invite them to act in it, keep in touch and cooperate, and there will be no problem.I'm too busy to take care of it, so the company will think more about it. "

"Okay, got it."

Zhang Zhao stood up and was about to go out when he suddenly remembered something: "Boss, this adaptation of your best-selling novel has been a great success. I think the circle will definitely imitate it. At present, Han Han and Guo Jingming are two It should be the best choice, and I want to contact them and talk to them about adapting their best-selling works."

"This..." Zhou Xia was slightly taken aback.

In that time and space, wasn’t Zhang Zhao the one who discovered Guo Xiaosi’s first movie "Little Times"?
Later, Han Han also started directing movies with the support of capital.

Speaking of which, these star idols started to make movies, and it was because Lao Xu and Zhao Yanzi made more of them.

But now because of his instant popularity, it is not impossible for the situation Zhang Zhao mentioned to happen two years earlier.

"Boss?" Zhang Zhao reminded Zhou Xia when he saw that he was thinking.

"Well, okay, senior, you are the CEO of Xiahua Films. In the future, you can decide on your own. The company must sign contracts to train more directors and creative teams. Now there are only Xue Xiaolu and me. Just one or two projects are really not in line with the company's development."

"Okay." Zhang Zhao was also very happy to have Zhou Xia's trust and support, so he left and went to work.

Within a few minutes, Yang Tianzhen came to report that he was negotiating with Sugarman about withdrawing shares on the phone.

"Boss, Sugarman, please think again. I don't want you to withdraw your shares. Sister K said that although they plan to accept shares from Huayi and Juren.com, the controlling stake is in Sugarman, so there will be no conflict with Xia Hua. Hope to work with us again like before.”

"Miss K thinks very well, she wants to eat both, how is that possible!" Zhou Xia couldn't help but sneer.

Sugar Man hadn't seen the great success of "Charlotte's Annoyance", so he regretted having an issue with him.

Sugar Man's full name is Shanghai Sugar Man Film Production Company, but it has been in business for more than ten years. Up to now, it has voted in three films, and all of them have suffered big losses.
They no longer dare to take risks in movies, so they can only make TV series with their hearts.

After the artists under Ketangren become famous in TV series, if they still want to develop into movies, they can only rely on other companies.

Tang Ren had cooperated with Hua Yi before, but because Hua Yi wanted to merge Tang Ren, the two parties stopped the cooperation.

Now that they got together again and wanted to tie Xia Hua, how is this possible?

"Okay, I'll finalize the result with them right now. But your 15% stake in Sugar Man has earned nearly 1000 million in less than half a year. If you wait a little longer, when "Scary Step by Step" is released, it will definitely increase in value of."

Yang Tianzhen kindly reminded.

"No need, isn't the increase in value due to the high price of the new shareholders' investment? It's not the level of profitability of Sugarman itself. Moreover, we have to stop "Scary Step by Step", so that they can't make much money!"

"Boss, that's a TV series starring you and Sisi." Yang Tianzhen was stunned, the boss has a strong desire for revenge.
