Huayu: Everyone's been reborn, who's still going to be an actor?

Chapter 108 Looking for trouble with Cheng Yuan? (6/40)

"Winning one of Europe's top three Best Actress awards isn't so easy."

Cheng Yuan remained silent for a moment before speaking.

Has she won the Best Actress awards at the three major European film festivals?

This is actually quite tempting.

"Give it a try."

Seeing that Cheng Yuan seemed interested, Fan Shuangbing quickly tried to persuade him.

Once I win one of the three major European Best Actress awards, I'll definitely crush those sluts and make sure they can never rise again.

"How do you know you can't do it if you don't try?" Cheng Yuan said. "Alright, if I have an idea and you're suitable, why would I look for someone else?"

"You can do it," Fan Shuangbing said. "How can a man say he can't?"

Cheng Yuan's lips twitched. This guy was making a dirty joke at his expense.

I'm sure I can do it!

"Has the director not been decided yet, or has an agreement not been reached?"

Seeing Cheng Yuan's reaction, Fan Shuangbing smiled and did not continue the topic.

Saying too much might backfire.

"Under discussion."

Cheng Yuan nodded in response.

Who is it?

Fan Shuangbing asked curiously.

Remote Films also has contracted TV drama directors. The current CCTV-1 opening drama "Crossing the Guandong" is very popular, with high ratings and excellent reviews.

Director Kong Sheng has also come into the view of many people in the industry.

I heard that Huayi contacted them, but then got a cold shoulder.

"Lin Yufen".

Cheng Yuandao said a name.

"People from Tang Dynasty China?"

Fan Shuangbing frowned, then remembered who it was, but still asked uncertainly.

"That won't be the case for long."

Cheng Yuan smiled.

Upon hearing this, Fan Shuangbing immediately understood that Remote Films was trying to poach Tangren's talent.

Lin Yufen is not very famous yet, and she is not highly regarded by Tangren Media.

She rose to fame with "Chinese Paladin 3," but she was only one of the directors of that series; the real director was Li Guoli.

What made her famous were "The Journey of Flower" and "Eternal Love".

"Can you dig it up?" Fan Shuangbing said. "Tangren hasn't achieved much in the film industry, but it still has a significant influence in the television drama industry."

"Why can't we recruit them?" Cheng Yuan asked. "Remote Film and Television's compensation is absolutely top-notch in the industry."

Upon hearing this, Fan Shuangbing's lips twitched.

The fact that Cheng Yuan gave Hou Hongliang shares became a joke in the entire industry, and countless people cursed him as an idiot behind his back.

However, Cheng Yuan is quite generous to his employees and signed directors, and the treatment at Yuancheng Films is indeed among the best in the industry.

The reason Huayi was rebuffed by Kong Sheng was because they couldn't offer the same high-level treatment as Yuanyuan Film & Television.

Although Cheng Yuan did not give Kong Sheng shares, he also gave him a share of the project's profits in addition to his salary and acting fees.

Other companies find it difficult to poach talent from Remote Film & Television, but very few people are not tempted by Remote Film & Television's talent acquisition efforts.

As for why Cheng Yuan poached Tangren, Fan Shuangbing hadn't thought about it in detail.

Can we dig it up?

Obviously, there's no problem.

Hou Hongliang was the one who negotiated this matter, and now everything is almost settled.

Fan Shuangbing left to discuss poaching Yan Kuang with her agent.

Yan Kuang is not famous now and mostly plays supporting roles in film and television dramas.

She'd use Cheng Yuan's name to poach talent; she didn't believe she couldn't.

A few days later, Cheng Yuan received a phone call from an unknown number.

"Director Cheng, this is Cai Yinong from Tangren."

"Hello, Mr. Cai."

Cheng Yuan replied with a smile, expressing his own surprise.

Why did she call?

To demand an explanation?

Besides that, Cheng Yuan really couldn't think of anything else.

After all, they just poached the director from that company.

"Director Cheng, Cheng Yuan Film and Television has gone a bit too far this time..."

'

"Did President Cai call to interrogate me about Director Lin?" Cheng Yuan interrupted her, saying, "People strive for better opportunities, water flows downhill. Director Lin didn't sign a contract of servitude with Tangren, did he? Tangren can't retain talent, is that my fault?"

Director contracts are obviously not as stringent as actor contracts, with far fewer restrictions, and the penalty for breach of contract is certainly not as high as that for actor contracts.

It didn't cost much to poach Lin Yufen from Remote Films.

Upon hearing this, Tsai Yinong was stunned for a moment, then became even angrier.

If not you, then who is to blame?

If you don't come to poach her, how could she possibly leave Tangren?

What do you mean by saying that Tangren can't retain talent?

If your remote video company gets poached, then you can't retain talent.

Thinking about this gives Tsai Yinong a headache.

Undermining remote film and television talent?

It is said that Hua Yidu tried to dig with a hoe, more than once, but he couldn't make a sound.

Cheng Yuan is truly willing to give up.

I shouldn't have called that idiot.

What does a moron who can give managers stock options know?

"Director Cheng, that's not a good point. We're all in the same industry, we'll run into each other all the time," Cai Yinong said, taking a deep breath. "If Tangren Media poachs people from your Remote Films, does that mean Remote Films can't retain talent?"

"That's right!" Cheng Yuan said, "If Tangren can poach people, it means that my Yuancheng Films didn't provide them with a good platform and good treatment. If we can't retain talent, it's because I, Cheng Yuan, didn't do a good job."

Are you implying that Lin Yufen's move to Remote Film & Television was due to my poor performance as Cai Yinong?

unacceptable.

"Director Cheng, it's always good to have more friends." Cai Yinong calmed herself down and said, "I've heard about Director Cheng's relationship with Huayi Brothers. Our two families can definitely cooperate."

Cheng Yuan understood perfectly. The implication was that since Cheng Yuan already had Hua Yi as an enemy, it would be unwise for him to continue making enemies of the Tang people.

You can make another friend.

However, that requires cooperation.

Cheng Yuan figured out the real purpose of Cai Yinong's phone call.

This is an attempt to collaborate with Remote Films.

It's clearly not a collaboration on television, but on film.

Tangren Media has always wanted to enter the film industry, but all its attempts have failed.

Cheng Yuan would never accept that remark.

Even if she hadn't said it explicitly, Cheng Yuan would still have refused.

Even the prestigious Bernard didn't get on board, so what makes you, Tangren, stand out?

"President Cai called to interrogate me over something so trivial, which clearly shows he doesn't want to be friends with Remote Films," Cheng Yuan said. "Since Director Lin is willing to join my Remote Films, I, Cheng Yuan, naturally welcome him."

Cai Yinong wanted to say something, but Cheng Yuan spoke up again, not giving her a chance.

"Mr. Cai, I'm busy here. Let's talk again when we have a chance."

Cheng Yuan hung up the phone without waiting for the other party to speak.

If it weren't for the fact that you, the head director of Tangren Media, own company shares, I would have even poached Li Guoli.

Hearing the dial tone on the phone, Tsai Yinong felt a pain in her chest from anger, but what could she do?

To cause trouble for Cheng Yuan?

Huayi Brothers couldn't do anything about him, and Tangren was far away in Shanghai, so they were even less able to do anything about him.

Cheng Yuan has connections with the Beijing Film Academy, China Film Group, and the Beijing entertainment circle.

I heard they have a good relationship with Emperor Entertainment Group.

It would be a losing proposition to truly antagonize remote video conferencing.

Remote Films does not manage artists, while Tangren Media has quite a few artists under its umbrella.

It's much easier to smear an artist than to smear their work.

Cai Yinong just didn't understand why she felt that Cheng Yuan didn't like her.

We had no connection, and I hadn't offended him.

and many more!

Cai Yinong suddenly remembered the recent rumors about Cheng Yuan and Liu Yifei.

They were classmates, or perhaps even closer.

No way.
