My wife is in my arms

Chapter 919 is his fifth

However, it wouldn't be entirely true to say that Director Han Dong was wrong.

Forming one's own interest group can indeed be helpful to oneself to some extent. Take joint investment as an example: two entertainment companies promoting together and exerting their efforts simultaneously is undoubtedly very beneficial to boosting box office revenue.

But this also means that the profits will be divided up.

Moreover, Zhang You was indeed reluctant to part with it. You know, "The Vanished She" sold more than 3 billion copies on Earth. The reason he cooperated with Tianyu Entertainment in the past was because he didn't have enough money to invest independently.

It's different now.

Once this project is finalized, his album revenue share should be coming in. At that time... let alone this project, even if there were another project, it wouldn't be a problem for him at all.

Money is only truly yours when it's in your pocket. Sharing it with friends... It's fine if you make good friends, but the real problem is making fair-weather friends. Once you run out of money, these usually loyal friends will immediately scatter like birds and beasts.

Seeing Zhang You deep in thought, Han Dong did not disturb him.

Young people have their own ideas.

He only gave Zhang You a few pointers because of this young man and his daughter... who was very likely the father of the child in his daughter's womb. As for whether he listened or not, Han Dong not only had no say in it, but also no right to do so.

He was never really his son-in-law.

Han Wei also looked at Zhang You. The more she looked at him, the more she felt that this guy must be Li Zongsheng. Even the way he frowned was exactly the same. In addition to having the temperament of a mature man, he also had a faint air of nobility about him.

"You mean you can't direct unless you bring in Flying Sky Entertainment, right??"

Zhang You thought for a moment and asked.

"right"

Han Dong nodded.

He noticed that Zhang You seemed to still want to invest alone, so he couldn't help but add a few more words, saying, "Regardless of whether I can direct this film, I still advise you to invest jointly with the company. I'll say it again, your script is very good, but before it's released, nobody knows whether the film will make or lose money. Investment always carries risks, and bringing in investors can not only control the risks, but also... allow for more in-depth communication with other entertainment companies."

"..."

Zhang You wanted to say, "Investment does involve risks, but the risks of this film are not high."

The investment wasn't large, but the returns were substantial. However, he couldn't reveal his true thoughts in front of the renowned director Han Dong, though it was undeniable that what Han Dong said made some sense.

Zhang You had considered this issue long before he had the idea of ​​sole proprietorship, but having come from Earth, he was already used to the way these interest groups operated.

They were so friendly, helping everyone make money together.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe them as half-brothers, but once there's no profit to be gained, these people can be even more ruthless than outsiders when it comes to taking their own lives.

But now they've made it very clear: he can't direct without Fei Tian. If it were a movie like "Goodbye Mr. Loser," Zhang You could simply change directors. But in the original version, although the director's name was listed as Cui Rui and Liu Xiang, it was actually Chen Sicheng, who was also the producer of the film.

He personally trained all the actors' performance styles. After a moment's thought, Zhang You stopped hesitating and took out his phone to find Lin Bao'er's number. The phone rang a few times before he answered.

"Your Majesty, what business do you have with me?!"

Lin Bao'er addressed him in a sarcastic tone over the phone.

"I'm at Director Han's house right now, planning to invite Mr. Han to direct a script I just wrote. I'm thinking of giving you 15% of the investment, plus another 15% to Feitian Entertainment. Just tell me if you want to participate."

Just as he was about to say 10%, Zhang You reluctantly changed it to 1.5%.

Zhang You has no experience as a director. Even if he were given the opportunity to copy someone else's work, he probably would have a hard time doing it well. Everyone has their own area of ​​expertise. Singing is no problem for him, but acting is really a challenge for him.

"Participate? Why not participate?! One and a half is too little. Tianyu Entertainment and Feitian Entertainment each take 30%, and you take 40%. Young friend Zhang, you're something else! You have enough influence to get Director Han Dong to take the plunge. I heard from Tian Xiaobo that he tried to get this old man to come out of retirement a few days ago, but was refused! I didn't expect you to get him to do it. Indeed, a superstar is different."

Lin Bao'er teased, "At most 1.5, any more..."

After a pause, Zhang You gritted his teeth and said, "I'll direct it myself."

"giggle"

After a brief silence on the phone, a burst of laughter followed.

Zhang You also overheard Lin Bao'er on the phone jokingly telling her father about his plan to direct a movie, "Dad, Zhang Xiaoyou said he'd be the director, it's hilarious! This guy really thinks he's some kind of superman!"

Zhang You hung up the phone.

Since Lin Bao'er has agreed to invest... as for the investment share, Zhang You didn't want to discuss it further. He had already taken a piece of her flesh, and if she wanted to take a bigger one, she shouldn't even think about it. So in the end, Lin Bao'er would definitely agree to this 1.5% investment share.

"One point five!?"

Han Dong was somewhat dissatisfied.

"Mr. Han, that's enough. You've said that investing involves risk, and I'm willing to take on 70% of the risk. That's more than enough."

Zhang You said helplessly.

I'll talk to Xiaobo about it in a bit.

Han Dong was quite pleased to see that Zhang You was quite obedient to advice.

As for Zhang You's reluctance to give up his investment share, he understands. Young people, after all, always feel that the scripts they write will be huge box office hits after release.

Once you truly witness the cruelty of the ever-changing market, you'll realize that even the best script can't ultimately be dictated by the market.

With the matter settled, Zhang You chatted with Director Han Dong and his wife for a while before standing up and saying, "The rest is up to you."

Just as the two were about to get up to see him off, Han Wei, who hadn't spoken until now, said, "Mom and Dad, I'll go see him off!"

Done.

Before the elderly couple could speak, Han Wei smiled and escorted Zhang You to the gate of the courtyard.

"Thanks"

Zhang You said.

Zhang You knew very well that if it weren't for Director Han speaking up for him, Director Han Dong would never have agreed to be the chief director of "The Vanished She".

"Why are you being so polite with me!"

Han Wei reached out and smoothed her hair. It was already close to eight o'clock, and the gentle evening breeze had dispelled the lingering heat of the day. The city had lost its hustle and bustle at this moment.

This is only true here. As for other places, many people who have just finished a day of overtime work naturally want to take a walk and have some fun on the streets.

"gone"

Zhang You waved his hand and turned to leave.

"Wait a moment"

Han Wei suddenly stopped Zhang You. Under Zhang You's questioning gaze, she bit her lip lightly before raising her head to look directly into Zhang You's eyes and said, "I'm serious. If your wife treats you badly, you can come to me. I don't want any dowry."
