Huayu: Starting from managing the Mahua FunAge Theater Troupe

Shen Feiyang took out the script commissioning contract he had prepared in advance.

Xue Xiaolu took the contract and flipped through it.

The terms are clearly stated: the copyright belongs to Feiyang Film and Television, she retains the right to be credited, and the royalties are 150,000 yuan, to be paid in three installments.

The latest deadline for completion is April 16th.

That is, a two-month creative period.

Xue Xiaolu felt that time was very tight.

For her, doing it is something she can do.

However, Xue Xiaolu could not guarantee that the script would be of high quality.

Xue Xiaolu looked up at Shen Feiyang: "Mr. Shen, may I contact another screenwriter to work with me on the script? The royalties can come from my share."

"How can we let Teacher Xue pay for it?"

Shen Feiyang quickly stated, "As long as the scriptwriting process can be accelerated and the quality guaranteed, I'm willing to accept any additional scriptwriters or hundreds of thousands more in royalties from Teacher Xue. Teacher Xue understands the importance of the script better than I do. In addition, I hope this project can start filming as soon as possible."

After thinking for a moment, Xue Xiaolu also expressed her opinion: "President Shen, I will give you the first draft of the script by the middle of next month at the latest."

"Okay. Teacher Xue, feel free to collaborate with other screenwriters. If one isn't enough, just find another. Don't worry about the money." Shen Feiyang trusted Xue Xiaolu completely.

Before his rebirth, he had watched "Ocean Heaven" many times and read many behind-the-scenes stories about Xue Xiaolu's volunteer work.

Xue Xiaolu has indeed been doing charity work for over a decade, but she rarely publicizes it.

According to Xue Xiaolu, she is actually the one with a heart of gold.

……

After seeing Xue Xiaolu off.

Shen Feiyang turned around and went back to his office.

I just sat down.

The phone rang.

Shen Feiyang answered the phone: "Hello, Director Tian?"

"Mr. Shen, Gao Yuanyuan's agent just contacted me, asking when we will sign a contract with Gao Yuanyuan," Tian Youliang said.

Last month, on January 25th, filming for "Shanghai Dreams" wrapped up, and Gao Yuanyuan ended nearly two months of intensive filming work.

Because it was close to the Chinese New Year and she had a lot of business work piled up on her hands, she hadn't come to Feiyang Film and Television to sign the contract.

After the Lunar New Year, and after resting for almost a week, Gao Yuanyuan finally had her agent contact Tian Youliang.

Shen Feiyang casually said, "Have them come to the Zijin Building at 2 PM to sign the contract."

"Okay, I'll contact them."

……

It was a little past 1:50 PM.

Gao Yuanyuan, accompanied by her agent and lawyer, arrived at the 12th floor of the Zijin Building.

This is different from the last time I came to sign a letter of intent.

This time, as soon as you step out of the elevator, you can see the Happy Twist logo wall and the reception desk.

It seems that the entire 12th floor has been turned into an office space for Happy Twist.

It's developing so fast!

The agent stepped forward and chatted with the receptionist for a few minutes. After confirming their appointment, the receptionist called Yu Kai's assistant.

After a while, a young man in his twenties came out to greet them.

Gao Yuanyuan, along with her agent and lawyer, entered the conference room located on the left side of the floor.

Shen Feiyang, Tian Youliang, and the company's legal counsel were already waiting.

Shen Feiyang is currently the general manager of Feiyang Film & Television, and he is responsible for affixing the company seal.

After Gao Yuanyuan and her group came in, the two sides greeted each other.

The lawyer Gao Yuanyuan brought began to examine the contract.

Shen Feiyang looked at Gao Yuanyuan, who had taken off her mask, revealing a perfect face, and casually asked, "Did Miss Gao go to see the performance of 'Lost in Thailand'?"

Gao Yuanyuan clutched her mask and shook her head at Shen Feiyang: "After filming wrapped up last month, I was busy with other work. I only returned to Beijing before the Lunar New Year to spend the holiday with my family. After the holiday, I planned to go see this place, but I couldn't get tickets."

The agent chimed in, "I read in the newspaper that if you want to see Shen Teng perform, you have to be at the Haidian Theater by four or five in the morning to queue up. Tickets for other performances without any well-known actors are also extremely hard to come by."

Shen Feiyang: "Those who get up so early to buy tickets are all scalpers. These scalpers are really hard to deal with. We've tried to control the number of tickets that can be purchased by one person with one ID, with a maximum of three tickets, but there are still many people who can't buy tickets."

"Oh, I see," Gao Yuanyuan said, suddenly realizing.

The agent chimed in, "It's mainly because Shen Teng is so popular right now. I heard that a lot of people from other places fly over specifically to see his performances."

It's not uncommon for audience members to fly in to see a performance.

Chen Peisi's stage play "The Balcony," which she recently launched, also attracted many fans who flew in to see it.

The agent then asked, "Mr. Shen, do you have any free tickets left? Yuanyuan really wants to see 'Lost in Thailand'."

"Yes, we do have some, but they're for the top floor. These tickets are for safety and redundancy, some seats that the theater has set aside. If you don't mind, I can get you a couple later," Shen Feiyang said casually.

Gao Yuanyuan blinked her big eyes and asked, "Can we have another ticket? I want to bring my mom and dad with me. I can pay for the tickets."

"Talking about money is vulgar. I'll get you three tickets later."

"Okay, thanks."

"polite."

We chatted for a while.

The lawyer has also reviewed the contract.

A very formal "Actor Employment Contract".

Both parties signed and affixed their seals.

……

It was around 6:50 PM.

Haidian Theater.

Shen Teng's performance group's special show.

The areas open for sale were already full of people.

After Shen Feiyang toured the area, he sat down to Gao Yuanyuan's left.

Gao Yuanyuan's parents were sitting to her right.

Both of Gao's parents were highly educated intellectuals.

Gao Yuanyuan introduced Shen Feiyang to her parents: "This is Shen Feiyang, the general manager of Happy Twist and Feiyang Film & Television. The stage play we are watching is produced by Happy Twist."

Under the scrutinizing gazes of Gao's parents, Shen Feiyang politely said, "Happy New Year, Uncle and Aunt. I'm so sorry, all the front row tickets have been sold out. Only these few seats are still available. I'll arrange a better seat for Sister Yuanyuan when the new show comes out."

With a faint smile on her face, Gao's mother said, "Sitting here is quite nice too."

Before Jian Dan could finish speaking, the performance began.

The auditorium of Haidian Theater is much smaller than that of Beijing Exhibition Theater, but you can still see the performance on stage even from the top of the hill.

Gao Yuanyuan watched the performance with complete concentration.

After nearly two months of performances.

The reputation of "Lost in Thailand" has already spread.

It has been hailed by the media as the best Lunar New Year stage comedy ever.

Although the history of Lunar New Year stage plays is extremely short.

In short, Gao Yuanyuan is really looking forward to this stage play.

The subsequent performance also surprised Gao Yuanyuan.

Especially the part where Li Chenggong and Niu Geng stayed together in the hotel.

Shen Feiyang vaguely heard Gao Yuanyuan laugh out loud, as if she were quacking like a goose.

The two-hour performance passed in the blink of an eye.

"Thank you..." Gao Yuanyuan took the tissue Shen Feiyang handed her and wiped her eyes, which were filled with tears of laughter.

Mr. and Mrs. Gao also thought the stage play was unexpectedly great.

It perfectly balances commerce and art, humor and warmth, reality and idealism.

After wiping away her tears, Gao Yuanyuan turned to look at Shen Feiyang and asked, "Was this story your idea too?"

"Yes, I provided the story framework, and the other writers were responsible for refining it."

Shen Feiyang then asked, "What do you think of this play?"

"That's amazing. I think it would be a lot of fun to make into a movie."

"Wow, you have good taste."

"That's right."

……

The performance ended.

Gao Yuanyuan drove her parents home.

On the road.

The three chatted about the performance they had just watched.

Sitting in the back seat, Gao's mother suddenly changed the subject: "That Shen Feiyang is quite good. He started from scratch and has a clean record. I saw on the news that the 'Baby Come Home' program, which he and the Women's Federation jointly promoted, has already helped more than a dozen trafficked children find their biological parents..."

Gao Yuanyuan listened silently without saying a word; she knew her mother was getting to the point indirectly.
