Huayu 2009: Who should we call the Heavenly King?

"Did they really give that much?"

Li Guoli's face darkened.

"yes."

Cai Yinong handed the contract photos that Shen Yan had taken to Li Guoli.

"The contract is ready, and I've also heard rumors that Huayi is indeed interested in poaching him."

Li Guoli took the photos and quickly glanced through them.

The record contract is similar to that of Gold Typhoon. The copyright of the lyrics and music belongs to Shen Yan, while the recording copyright is shared by both parties. When the contract expires, Shen Yan can repurchase the copyright.

The contract is for seven years and five albums, with the production cost of the first album not less than three million, and a minimum of ten million guaranteed for promotion and distribution.

Signing bonus: 200 million.

In terms of film and television, there is a guaranteed spot for two film roles each year. In the first year, at least one male supporting role is secured, and in the second year, a male lead role in a film with an investment of tens of millions of yuan is guaranteed.

In addition, Huayi Brothers has made an extra commitment to provide the lead male role in a primetime TV drama every year.

After quickly reviewing the core terms, Li Guoli fell silent.

Although film and television-related clauses are highly operable, for example, a guaranteed second male lead role can be in either a big-budget production or a low-budget film with an investment of several million.

However, once Shen Yan becomes popular, Huayi will absolutely not compromise on this aspect.

To be honest, Shen Yan was genuinely tempted.

Huayi offered very generous terms.

However, he would never willingly jump into a cesspool.

Once you join Huayi, you lose control of many things. After all, the two Wangs have been working in China for over twenty years, with extensive connections, deep-rooted political and business relationships.

Although Huayi's market value plummeted later, the company suffered losses year after year and was mired in debt, what did that have to do with them personally?

A company is a company, and an individual is an individual!

Huayi Brothers enjoyed its glory for so many years, and the mere act of leeching off listed companies made them incredibly wealthy.

As for height restrictions?

Don't make your brother Wang laugh.

Rather than jumping into a murky pool of complicated issues, it's better to take this opportunity to ask the Chinese for something.

What is his personal attitude?

After reading all the content, Li Guoli gently pinched the bridge of his nose. No company would easily let go of a rising star with unlimited potential.

Even if Shen Yan isn't a huge star right now, he has already shown that potential. If he isn't, is Huayi a fool?

He said he quite likes Tangren.

"Is this all?" Li Guoli clearly didn't believe it.

"He has his eye on three novels and wants to choose one to act in."

Cai Yinong pulled out several A4 sheets of paper from the documents.

"This kid definitely planned this all along. Look at the contract signing date; he bought the novel's copyright last year."

Splash!

Li Guoli flipped through it, quickly reading the synopsis.

"Boss & Me," "Love O2O," and "Mary Sue Case Report"—three novels, two campus dramas, and one idol drama.

"This won't do."

As he spoke, Li Guoli put the "Mary Sue Case Report" aside.

"High school themes don't have a market, but these two are pretty good; they suit his appearance and age well."

"You just agreed like that?" Cai Yinong looked surprised.

"You can find someone to write the script first; screenwriters don't cost much."

Li Guoli smiled slightly.

"The adaptation will take several months. By then, his album will also be released. How far it will go depends entirely on him."

Anyone can make empty promises.

"So which one do you think is better?"

In terms of production, Cai Yinong still trusts Li Guoli.

"Let him choose for himself."

Since Li Guoli was willing to see things through to the end, he decided not to interfere with Shen Yan's "choice." If Shen Yan could become an overnight sensation, it wouldn't be a bad idea to make a modern drama for him.

Modern dramas are known for their low production costs, and they can also incorporate product placement.

Last summer, the Hunan TV remake of Meteor Garden had so many GG product placements, but it still became a hit.

If Shen Yan becomes popular, combined with his popularity and Tangren's brand, it shouldn't be difficult to attract millions in product placements.

With the implantation fee, and an additional investment of several million, the project can be established.

However, everything is predicated on 'red' (popularity).

Thinking of this, Li Guoli added another sentence.

"It would be best to choose someone Shi Shi can act in and let her play the female lead."

"Yes, I know."

Cai Yinong nodded in agreement. The two were not worried about scheduling issues, as Shen Yan had already made it clear that he would not be acting in "Scarlet Heart".

As for Liu Shishi, Tangren Media arranged for her to play the role of Lüwu, the confidante of the Thirteenth Prince. She and Yuan Hong will be working together again.

Not long after, Cai Yinong made a phone call to Liu Shishi, who was far away in Nanjing.

"Hey, K-sister?"

"Shishi, are you next to the computer?"

"Yes, I'm here."

"Okay, write this down. There are two novels, one is called 'Shan Shan Comes to Eat' and the other is called 'Love O2O'."

"Okay, I've got it."

"Take some time to read them, see which one you like, and which female lead you'd like to play."

"Huh? Me?"

Liu Shishi's eyes widened.

Do I have that much say?

How come I didn't know?

"Okay, we'll have Shen Yan act with you. You'll play the female lead, and he'll play the male lead."

Cai Yinong did not tell Liu Shishi the whole story.

There's no need for that.

In fact, Tangren also intends to explore new themes, such as period dramas, especially high-quality period dramas, which often involve investments of tens of millions of yuan and a long preparation period.

Taking "Scarlet Heart" as an example, they bought the copyright in 08 and it took more than a year of preparation before the project made any progress.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, filming should begin at the end of 10 or the beginning of 11.

"oh oh."

Liu Shishi understood completely.

It turns out it was all because of that big idiot Shen Yan.

He's being manipulated by a wicked woman; if he's not the biggest fool, then who is?

She overheard Zhang Junning making a phone call that day, but it wasn't intentional; she was in the bathroom at the time.

Zhang Junning went into the bathroom while on the phone, seemingly chatting with some close friend.

It's just for fun.

It tastes great.

Pooh!

Shameless!

She was busy "eavesdropping" at the time; she should have recorded it on her phone and then slapped it in front of Shen Yan later.

Women from Taiwan are really bad.

However, Liu Shishi was not prepared to tell Shen Yan.

Words alone are not enough to prove anything.

Telling Shen Yan in advance might make him think I'm stirring up trouble.

Anyway, once "The Weaver Girl" is finished filming, the big fool will realize that all those "sisters" are fake.

the other side.

The silly boy that Liu Shishi had been longing for was playing with his older sister.

As soon as the end-of-term performance ended, Shen Yan rushed back to Hengdian, where he was warmly received by the older sister.

I will unload for you.

It is for you.

I will sing for you.

For you, it surges forth.

Afterwards, Shen Yan brought up the old matter again.

"Junning, what was the gift you mentioned before?"

I won't tell you.

Zhang Junning raised the corners of her mouth and gave a mysterious smile.

"However, I've already sent that gift."

Don't ask.

She stretched out her finger and gently pressed it against Shen Yan's lips.

"I don't know exactly when I'll receive it."

"You wouldn't be thinking of giving me a child, would you?"

Shen Yan made a half-joking remark, but given Zhang Junning's words, it was hard for him not to misunderstand.

"Dream on."

Zhang Junning's cheeks flushed slightly, and she gave him a charmingly disdainful look before gently biting her lip.

"However, if I'm 40 and still not married, and don't want to get married, I might consider borrowing one from you..."
