Chapter 64: Trembling Minister Zhou
Swish swish swish swish!
Chu Shi and Fan Bingling confirmed the contract again, and they all planned to sign the contract one by one. The moment before Chu Shi finished writing, he suddenly seemed to think of something and suddenly looked up and asked, "I don't know which team Mr. Cai likes more about the production of the movie version of "Where Are We Going, Dad?"
“Production team?”
Cai Honglei's eyes fell on the contract that had signed the word "Chu". He also understood Chu Shi's meaning. He lowered his eyebrows and thought for a moment, and laughed, "If Chu Shi doesn't say it, I forgot. This time, we Tang Chao Entertainment plans to hire a production team for variety shows. But I heard that it has been incorporated by Bingling Studio. I wonder if it can be convenient?"
Although it is a movie, the shooting situation of the show is no different from that of a variety show. Choosing one or two experienced film assistant directors, plus the original cast of the variety show, is enough to shoot the movie version of "Where Are We Going, Dad?"
At best, it means that the salary of hundreds of thousands is something that can be trained in Chu Shi's opinion, but in Cai Honglei's eyes, it is nothing. There is no need to destroy the agreed contract because of this small matter.
Fan Bingling also reacted and hurriedly said, "Of course there is no problem. I also want to thank Uncle Cai for taking care of our Bingling Studio's business!"
"This is not care, mutual benefit, haha!"
Cai Honglei laughed and took the contract handed over by Chu Shi and quickly signed his name. After the two parties exchanged the contract, they chatted for a few words. Seeing Zhao Yue looking at the watch twice in a row, Chu Shi and Fan Bingling also stood up to say goodbye. The better the chance to get together in the future, Chu Shi and the other two also left Tang Chao Entertainment Company together.
"Minister Zhao, what do you think of this business?"
Seeing Chu Shi and the other two leaving, Cai Honglei was silent for a moment before turning his head to look at Zhao Yue. Cai Honglei really liked her style of acting that did not fight for power but could bring great benefits to Tang Dynasty entertainment. She is one of the few neutrals who Cai Honglei took great care of and respected her opinions very much in terms of movies.
"Just like the evaluation of the company's professional appraisers, with a large audience base, the movie version of "Where Are We Going, Dad" can definitely be sold well, but the contract is owned by Chu Shi, and we paid them 180 million in the surrounding areas. Even if we make money, it won't be too much."
Even when facing the company's president Cai Honglei, Zhao Yue looked cold and indifferent. "I personally think that in this cooperation, we can make money, but we may not be able to make a lot of money. The real profits are basically taken away by Fan Bingling and Chu Shi. Of course, this is the first season. If the second season and the third season are still like this in the future, Fan Bingling may not be able to make much money. The only real beneficiary is Chu Shi."
After pausing for a while, Zhao Yue then said, "This boy is not simple."
"Of course it's not simple!"
Cai Honglei sighed lightly, "Resolutely rejected Tang Chao Entertainment, chose to cooperate with Fan Bingling, giving up 90% of the profit in the first season, just to build this brand. If it were an ordinary person, even I would not have the courage to make this gamble. Once you lose, you will lose all your money!"
"I am talented and courageous. Not to mention that I am likely to continue to create such a popular program in China in the future. Even if I only hold the copyright of "Where Are We Going, Dad?", it will be an existence that cannot be underestimated in the entertainment industry in the future. I think Mr. Cai and Tang Chao Entertainment need to maintain a good relationship with him. Perhaps the signing artists of our company will ask for him in the future."
"Minister Zhao said, if there were no considerations in this regard, how could I share the box office share and give him such a generous contract in the surrounding area?"
For the old entertainment company Tang Chao Entertainment, there are many veteran singers and actors in their thirties and forties, and many of them have already started their own family. Cai Honglei cannot guarantee that there will be no request for Chu Shi in the future. When placing people in the show, a good foundation of cooperation is still necessary.
After talking about this, Cai Honglei and the others in the conference room did not speak anymore. Zhao Yue was also cold as ice. She closed her eyes and didn't say anything for the rest of her life. She waited quietly. Not long after, most of the senior executives of Tang Dynasty Entertainment also appeared in the conference room, and all the seats were filled. Obviously, the "conference" mentioned by Zhao Yue was not a vain, but a fact.
"You all gather here today to announce a new plan for our company to everyone here!"
At the beginning of the meeting, Cai Honglei didn't talk nonsense and announced directly to everyone present, "In the next few months, our company will do its best to create a new film, and it must be officially released in the 2008 Spring Festival!"
New movie plan?
Everyone was stunned and looked at Zhao Yue sitting next to Cai Honglei at the same time.
Even if Cai Honglei is the company's president, when it comes to matters related to movies, the one who has the most say is Minister Zhao Yue. When he nodded when he saw Zhao Yue, everyone felt relieved.
I was shocked and thought that Cai Honglei and Zhao Yue had a conflict and began to fight for power!
However, when the president and minister nodded in the movie Cai Honglei said, no one dared to say anything without knowing the specific situation.
"Mr. Cai, our logistics department will do all the budget work."
"Minister Zhao, our agency will definitely find any type of actors you need. Whether it is an actor from your own company or other companies, it is all for us!"
The Tang Dynasty Entertainment Film Production Department has been operating for many years. Every time it takes action, it is clear which departments need to contribute. It is clear that Cai Honglei and Zhao Yue decide at the same time no one can object, and they all patted their chests to ensure it.
Even Zhou Shuhai, the director of the Variety Show Department, said with a smile to Zhao Yue, a real-powered person who does not fight for power, "Although it may not be useful, as long as Minister Zhao speaks, our Variety Show Department will fully support it!"
"This time, I really need the cooperation of the variety show department!"
Zhao Yue, who had not spoken, suddenly turned his head and looked at Zhou Shuhai and said, "Even if there is already a production team, Minister Zhou will still need to borrow a few experienced screenwriters, deputy directors, and costume props from me..."
"this……"
Zhou Shuhai became confused and suddenly felt a bad premonition in his heart, "What kind of movie should I shoot? Do we actually need to use our variety show department?"
Not only Zhou Shuhai, but everyone else present also wanted Cai Honglei. Zhao Yue cast doubtful eyes, but Zhao Yue still had a cold face, "I believe everyone knows the next 'big production' of our company. The name is "Where Are We Going, Dad?"
"Where are you going, Dad?"
Zhou Shuhai suddenly widened his eyes, his whole body trembled slightly, and said in disbelief, "Yes, is it a variety show that Fan Bingling invested in and a movie adapted?"
Chapter completed!
