Dreams of the Fragrant River
: Four hundred and sixty-seven [discontinuation of the contract]
"Mr. Tang morning!"
"Mr. Tang is early!"
"Mr. Tang, good morning!"
"..."
Tang Shuxuan walked into the elevator carrying an old cloth bag, and the employees in the elevator greeted each other. [;Starting]
Although she is the vice president of film and television of Oriental DreamWorks, in charge of the filming of DreamWorks' films and TV series, Tang Shuxuan's dress is still very simple. Black-rimmed glasses and short hair, wearing a rustic outdated coat, at first glance, she thought she was a country girl.
After ascending to the fourth floor, half of the people in the elevator had gone out. Before waiting for the elevator door to close, Tang Shuxuan vaguely heard an employee talking outside: "Have you read today's newspaper? It was taken by the Taiwan Information Bureau."
"It's true, doesn't it mean that Mr. Kang has a very hard relationship in Taiwan?"
"What's the matter, the backers of black and white have all fallen."
"Mr. Kang is also true. If Phoenix TV is not allowed to cooperate with the production party, even the Taiwan market will be lost now."
"He himself came from the mainland swimming, of course, heading there."
"..."
The elevator slowly ascended, the chatter outside finally disappeared, and the few remaining employees in the elevator bowed their heads. Because Tang Shuxuan's face was very ugly at this time, no one dared to jump out and touch the bad head.
The news in the newspapers in the past two days has become more and more outrageous, saying that DreamWorks has been comprehensively dismissed is just trivial, and it is even reported that the Taiwan authorities have banned Kang Jianfei from entering the country.
A lie repeated 10,000 times is the truth, and the news of the rumors can be believed, not to mention that the two films have indeed suffered setbacks in Taiwan.
Although DreamWorks does not say that people are panicking, rumors are already spreading, and the heads of various departments have repeatedly refuted the rumors and could not control the mouths of employees.
DreamWorks Television Productions Screenwriting Section.
Wen Ruian, who has only officially joined DreamWorks for a week, has also felt that the working atmosphere around her is a little off these two days.
No, Li Yizong of the screenwriting department was talking about the new news early in the morning. Several screenwriters who had never been to Taiwan were chatting enthusiastically.
When they heard footsteps outside the office, the screenwriters immediately adapted the content of the conversation and began to discuss the plot of the script.
"Mr. Kang's plot design is really good, I think it can be added to this bridge..."
"Huh. This seems really good, and it must be very joyful to write it."
"..."
The director of the screenwriting department took a turn in the writing room, got to know the progress of everyone's script, and said some words of encouragement and urging. He took a work call halfway and went out.
As soon as the boss left, the screenwriters started talking nonsense again. Li Yizong said and suddenly asked Wen Ruian: "Xiao Wen, I heard that you were deported from Taiwan?"
Wen Rui'an was writing the script. The filming of this play will start in two days. At this time, I heard Li Yizong's question. His face suddenly turned gloomy.
He was deported by the Taiwan authorities. It has always been a stalk of Wen Rui'an's head. No unit in Hong Kong dares to publish his novels. Just because he was afraid of offending the Taiwan authorities, Wen Ruian almost failed to get a work visa in Hong Kong.
Wen Ruian resisted the attack, and said with a blank face, "What should the Taiwan authorities be afraid of? It's just a paper tiger. Wasn't the ban on my novel lifted in Taiwan at the beginning of the year?"
Li Yizong would like to say more. Suddenly, the director of the screenwriting department walked in and called Wen Ruian: "Mr. Wen, President Xu is going to shoot in advance. You should revise and sort out the script of the first few episodes. I will take the script before I get off work in the afternoon."
Wen Ruian nodded and said, "Okay, it must be done before four o'clock in the afternoon."
The director of the screenwriting department said: "Don't be too rushed, just sort out the scripts of the first three episodes first." After speaking to Wen Ruian with a pleasant face, he said to the other screenwriters with a stern face, "Write the script carefully for me. This is Kang Jianfei. The planned TV series. If anyone spreads rumors and is heard by me again, I will directly take this month's salary and leave!"
After finishing speaking, the director of the screenwriting department turned around and left. The screenwriters looked at each other in dismay, and finally tacitly stopped talking about DreamWorks being taken to Taiwan.
DreamWorks is a little better, and Oriental Entertainment is really panicking.
At this time, Zhong Zhentao and Alan Tam were sitting in Pan Yingzi's office. When they came in, they started chatting, until they heard Pan Yingzi's secretary reminding that someone was waiting outside, and Alan Tam was the first to say: "Miss Pan, my economic contract with Oriental Entertainment is a one-year contract, and this year's still It expires in two months, and I want to cancel the automatic renewal."
Pan Yingzi no longer went around in circles, but said with a smile: "You two don't have to listen to the rumors outside, not to mention that DreamWorks can't be comprehensively controlled by the Taiwan authorities, and even if DreamWorks is really caught, it won't affect Oriental Entertainment Company. Signed actors, you can still take pictures outside as you did before."
Stars like Alan Tam and Zhong Zhentao who don't have to worry about filming, the reason why they signed up with Oriental Entertainment is only to increase their chances of appearing in DreamWorks movies. Now that DreamWorks is about to be taken by the Taiwan authorities, what are they still doing at Oriental Entertainment? If it is an external film contract from another company, you can make more money without a brokerage company.
And they, like Zheng Shaoqiu, have huge popularity in Taiwan, for fear that they will be implicated by DreamWorks and lose the Taiwan market.
Zhong Zhentao and Alan Tam exchanged glances, and the former asked very directly, "Miss Pan, my brokerage contract is still about half a year away. If I terminate the contract early, how much liquidated damage will I have to pay?"
The smile on Pan Yingzi's face was a little reluctant. She said using the tactic of dragging words: "It seems that the two of you are determined to leave, so let me give you three days and I will give you an answer."
Alan Tam and Zhong Zhentao didn't want to be too stiff, and said, "Then let's say goodbye first."
"Walk slowly!" Pan Yingzi smiled, and as soon as the two left the office, she immediately put away her smile and called Zeng Bolin.
More than ten minutes later, Kang Jianfei returned the phone and asked, "What's the urgency, dear Azi? Brother Fei, I'm filming."
"When are you still joking," Pan Yingzi said angrily, "From yesterday to now, seven star actors have asked to terminate their contracts."
"Who is there?" Kang Jianfei asked.
Pan Yingzi said: "Zhong Zhentao, Alan Tam, Chen You, Tian Niu, Xu Guanying, Zheng Peipei and Hui Yinghong, these seven people are very popular in Taiwan, and they definitely want to distance themselves from DreamWorks as soon as possible."
"Chen You and Hui Yinghong also want to terminate the contract?" Kang Jianfei asked in surprise. Although Chen You and Hui Yinghong have not been promoted to the top stars, they are also actors who have long been praised by DreamWorks. At least three DreamWorks movies are filmed a year, and the contract is almost never interrupted.
Pan Yingzi analyzed: "Chen Youyou seems to be forming a film company with Zhong Zhentao. As for Hui Yinghong, I guess Jiahe is poaching people."
In this way, it makes sense. The competition on DreamWorks is too fierce, and Hui Yinghong can't surpass Lin Qingxia and Zhong Chuhong no matter how hard she tries. However, there are very few actresses signed by Jiahe. Hui Yinghong has been treated as a leading actress once in the past.
And now Hui Yinghong's mentor Liu Jialiang has also opened a film company under the support of Zou Wenhuai. Hui Yinghong was covered by Liu Jialiang in the past.
Kang Jianfei was silent for a few seconds. He suddenly said, "Let anyone who wants to go. Three-legged toads are hard to find. Two-legged actors are everywhere. As for the liquidated damages, they will be paid according to the contract."
Pan Yingzi said worriedly: "The loss of a few of them can be accepted, but I'm afraid that more and more people will leave. We must kill this trend."
Now all the big stars are walking. As for the second- and third-tier stars, they really don't dare to leave. They can't pay the liquidated damages themselves and no one will help them. That contract is not a joke.
"I'll take care of it, you don't have to worry about this. Well, I'll be busy here soon, bye!" Kang Jianfei hung up the phone after he finished speaking.
Pan Yingzi said angrily after listening to the busy voice: "This bastard, don't say a few words on the phone."
Kang Jianfei was still in the mood to call Pan Yingzi*, and the situation in Taiwan was getting more and more complicated. The newspapers in Hong Kong spreading the bad news about DreamWorks must be the ghosts of the eight major film companies in Taiwan. But it is impossible to find out which one or several companies shot it.
And the negotiations between Yu Kanping and China Film also reached a deadlock. First, the China Film Lions opened their mouths, and actually asked for 80% of the distribution and the academy to share (China Film has both distribution and theater business); Second, China Film has the right to distribute, But the film has already signed contracts with scholars and Long Xiang. Of course, the latter two companies are not willing to give up their profits for nothing.
Of course, the negotiation is going to be slow, but DreamWorks can't wait now, because after that, DreamWorks and other films were all banned from being sold to the Taiwan market due to unqualified political censorship.
The situation is completely unfavorable to DreamWorks, which is the real reason for the floating of people's hearts at Oriental Entertainment. You must know that Ye Zhiming's Binbin Film Company cooperated with the leftist theater chain. The Taiwan authorities not only made the films of Binbin Film Company, but also prohibited Ye Zhiming's jeans brand from being sold to Taiwan, causing the Binbin jeans empire with a market value of hundreds of millions to collapse instantly.
With the usual urgency of the Taiwan authorities, if DreamWorks were to be wanted, then all of Kang Jianfei's Phoenix TV, Fengxing Records and Oriental Entertainment Company would all be detained. How could Alan Tam and others dare to keep their brokerage contract at Oriental Entertainment Company? In case Oriental Entertainment is caught, their contracted artists may also be blacklisted.
Kang Jianfei ended today's filming early, contacted Yu Ganping by phone, and asked, "How is your talk with China Film?"
Yu Gan Pinghui reported: "The box office share is about 70%, and the other side is not willing to let go. But the most troublesome thing is the distribution rights. China Film promises that if the film is handed over to them for distribution, they will be responsible for the work of the news bureau, so that the The film passed the review smoothly, but Long Xiang and the scholars held on to the distribution contract and did not let go."
Kang Jianfei didn't take Yu Ganping's headache seriously at all. He was overjoyed when he heard his report, and asked, "That is to say, as long as it is handed over to China Film Distribution, then the so-called "DreamWorks" by the Press Bureau will be lifted. already?"
"It can be said that ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ China Film should be able to do the work of the news bureau," Yu Ganping said embarrassedly, "but scholars and Long Xiang are unwilling to hand over the distribution rights."
Kang Jianfei laughed and said, "Old Yu, you are too straight. What's the difference between a scholar and Long Xiang or not handing over the distribution rights? We have the copy of the movie here, so why not just hand it over to China Film for release?"
Yu Kanping said: "But this is a breach of contract! The more popular it is in Taiwan, the more money we will pay to scholars and Long Xiang!"
Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "I don't lose money, they can still bite me? If you want to fight a lawsuit, just take it slow, and it will be many years after the lawsuit is over. And we shouldn't have a headache for this kind of thing, since China Film has taken a fancy to it. It is up to them to make efforts to solve the issue.”
Yu Ganping was silent for a while before he said, "I'm afraid this is not good..."
"There's nothing wrong," Kang Jianfei said, still worried about Yu Kanping's level of work, "Forget it, I'll go to Taipei in two days. You should continue to talk with China Film first, and try to make a high point."
