Huayu became famous overnight

Chapter 15 You were kidding first

After three rounds of drinking.

Xu Ming has always kept his mouth shut and has not shown any sign of wavering in the face of Wang Zhongjun's overt or covert attempts to recruit him.

The latter gradually became impatient and said directly: "Although this film project is low-cost, there are many risk factors. For example, this is your first script as a screenwriter and you have never played the leading male role in a movie."

"You can invest in Huayi, but we will have to choose the female lead, and we will be responsible for the promotion of the film. Is it okay to book you a TV series contract?"

Xu Ming almost laughed out of anger when he heard this. This guy knew that he was a layman in the film industry and was trying to trick him.

Huayi has chosen the female lead, and will be in charge of the publicity and promotion. I also have to get a TV drama contract.

So all the good things went to Huayi. To put it bluntly, he now gets several million for a TV series, which means the other party is getting something for nothing.

Taking into account the publicity and promotion costs, he might even lose money while Huayi still makes money.

Although he knew that this was a necessary step for every newcomer to the industry to pay tuition, the high price he asked showed that the other party did not take him seriously at all.

"How about this, Mr. Wang, I will sell this script to your Huayi, how about one million?" Xu Ming answered seriously.

Wang Zhongjun was a little unsure, and asked suspiciously, "Are you kidding?"

"You opened it first." Xu Ming smiled back.

The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became freezing cold.

In fact, Wang Zhongjun has always been a very capable person, otherwise he would not have been able to build Huayi from an advertising company to its current position.

But the scorer, Xu Ming, who had just become famous, felt that it was an honor for this kid to be able to come and meet him.

I never expected that the rabbit would dare to kick back.

"Haha, you are really a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger. Even your master doesn't dare to talk to me like this."

Wang Zhongjun chuckled and stood up: "Take care of yourself, Hua Tao, I'm going back first."

After saying that, without even looking at Xu Ming, he took Huo Siyan out of the private room.

With his status, it would be disadvantageous for him to get angry with the other party. If what happened today gets out, Xu Ming will suffer the consequences in the future.

"What the hell are you bragging about? My master is really sitting here, so it's not too late for you to be so arrogant."

After Xu Ming finished complaining, he turned around and said to Teng Huatao, who had a stiff face, "Director Teng, I'm not blaming anyone but the matter. I definitely have no problem with you. To be honest, if I get investment, can you direct it?"

Strictly speaking, his master is from the Northeast circle, and the other party is from the Beijing circle. The two sides have some overlap, but their roots are not the same, so neither can do anything to the other.

Although Wang Zhongjun sounds arrogant, when he really arrives in Northeast China, the first thing he has to do is to pay a visit to his master.

As long as Xu Ming doesn't use the resources of the Beijing circle, there is no need for him to lick other people's asses.

The most important thing is that as a reborn person, he is very clear about the future decline of the Beijing circle.

What's more, in the film industry, it has never been said that whoever has power and connections will definitely have a high box office, otherwise there wouldn't be so many dark horses every year.

Director Teng will not drag Lu Ha into kicking back the door that has just been opened for domestic science fiction films in the future.

Teng Huatao was a little slow to react for a moment when facing Xu Ming, who scolded his boss and then turned around and asked respectfully.

Are you polite or rude?

"Well, normally I'm a contracted director of Huayi, so it's hard for us to work together, but I'm really optimistic about your script..."

Teng Huatao recalled his movie "Ghost in the Heart" which was released two years ago. It had a production cost of 07 million in and starred Li Ming, Fan Bingbing and Liu Ruoying.

With such a lineup, the box office didn't even reach five million, and it was a complete flop without making any splash.

As you can imagine, after such a disastrous box office failure, it was almost impossible for him, a director, to return to the big screen in a short period of time. Xu Ming was surprised and excited at first that this film project could find him.

Opportunities don't come easily.

After thinking this through, he made up his mind: "Making a movie requires not only funds, but more importantly, distribution channels. Huayi is out of the question, you have to bring in another one."

"Okay, I understand what you mean, just wait."

Xu Ming nodded, and when he heard the other party's willingness to join, he immediately understood what was going on.

The director is the most important thing in a movie. The success of the previous movie "Love Is Not Blind" is inseparable from the director Teng Huatao.

Even though this guy's science fiction films have been a complete failure, he still has talent and ability in the area of urban emotions.

Urban emotional TV series such as "Double-Sided Adhesive Tape", "Dwelling Narrowness" and "Naked Marriage" were all huge successes under his hands. However, this guy filmed too many small love stories and always wanted to make big movies, which led to the huge failure of "The Fortress of Devil City".

It's just like some online writers who write about urban life well, but then plunge headfirst into high-level martial arts and die without even a struggle.

The reason why he dared to invite Wang Zhongjun after offending him was that he knew the looseness of the Beijing circle.

No matter what circle it is, in the end it’s all about interests.

With Teng Huatao's family background as a director with a good family background, he would still have a place even if Wang Zhongjun was ignored.

……

Beijing Exhibition Theater.

All the fellow disciples gathered here, including Master Benshan.

March 3th was not only the first stop of Xu Ming's national tour, but also the first trial performance of Liu Laogen Grand Stage in Beijing.

"Xiao Ming, I heard someone say that Huayi is going to ban you?"

Uncle Benshan asked suddenly after finishing the rehearsal of the show.

At this moment, all the fellow disciples pricked up their ears.

block?

Listen to how advanced this word is.

Moreover, as Huayi is the leading private entertainment company in China, it is quite inexplicable that Xu Ming could come into conflict with the former, which is like the northwest wind blowing in the hottest days of summer.

"We were discussing the investment in my movie. After I went there, Director Wang wanted me to go to Huayi and said that investment in the movie was not a problem and that the contract had to be left to them. I said that my master had trained me with great difficulty and that I couldn't be a disloyal person. Who knows how I offended him."

Xu Ming complained to his master in a picky manner. These words were all the same ones that had appeared in the club that day, but the order might have been reversed and some sentences had been deleted by him.

The meaning presented naturally changes.

After all, this was the basic skill as a short video marketing account author in the previous life.

Uncle Benshan's face darkened a little. His career was at its peak, and he was far from being as low-key and peaceful as he is now. Otherwise, he would not have fallen out with Ha Wen and withdrawn from the Spring Festival Gala in 13.

In fact, he had a conflict with the Spring Festival Gala in 04. At that time, his apprentice Zhang Xiaofei was performing on the stage and was pulled off by the host in the middle of the performance. After that, he went on stage and got angry.

Then he was no longer in the Spring Festival Gala that year, and even the show "Marshal Ma" was stopped when it was supposed to be broadcast, which immediately made Old Zhao obedient.

"Master, how about I apologize in front of the media?" Xu Ming asked deliberately.

"No need. At least I'm here. I don't know how badly they can ban you. At worst, there's still Liu Laogen Stage."

Uncle Benshan waved his hand, obviously also angry.
