Huayu started as a lecturer at Beijing Film Academy

"You're so blind! Why did you choose Wen Zhang to play the male lead in the first place? This Zhuo Wei is also sick! He won't break it sooner or later, but he chose this moment."

Wang Zhonglei has been in a very unhappy mood these days. Because of Wen Zhang's cheating scandal, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" was boycotted by the whole people. At the very least, it lost hundreds of millions in box office, which was all wasted money!

Because of this, people in the company have been scolded by him a lot recently, and he will get angry over the smallest things.

"It's such a coincidence. If that guy Gu Zhongyu didn't help behind this, I wouldn't believe it!" Compared to his younger brother Wang Zhonglei, Wang Zhongjun was much more rational. He asked someone to investigate. Although Zhuo Wei and Gu Zhongyu had no contact with each other on the surface, Within a few minutes of the Wen Zhang news being revealed, Zongheng immediately spent money to find someone to help promote the situation. It was obvious that he had already caught wind of it.

"Okay! Then let's find someone to break the news and ruin his reputation." Wang Zhonglei gritted his teeth. Destroying a person's wealth is like killing his parents. He felt that even if his own father was killed, he would probably be like this now. Angry.

"What are you breaking about him? Hidden rules or playing with female stars? He's a bachelor and doesn't even have an open girlfriend. It's useless to make some tidbits! And even if his reputation is really tarnished, the worst he can do is stop being an actor. Isn’t that enough, boss?”

Only then did Wang Zhonglei realize that he was so angry that he had even forgotten Gu Zhongyu's true identity. He is not an ordinary actor, and he has never set up a good man or a dedicated character. The whole scandal does not matter at all.

"Not necessarily. What if the other party is a married woman? Wasn't it because Gu Zhongyu fell into this three years ago and was ordered to quit the entertainment industry by his old man? Brother, we can find paparazzi to keep an eye on him 24 hours a day. There’s always something to dig up.”

Regarding this suggestion, Wang Zhongjun did not comment, and just said: "It doesn't make much sense, and Mr. Han called me last night and asked me to stop this matter. Unless Gu Zhongyu messes with us first, otherwise don't talk to us again in the future." He fought."

Wang Zhonglei's passionate thoughts were extinguished when he heard Mr. Han's words to call for a truce. This is the true master and a noble man of the brothers. What he says must be listened to.

Han Sanye, nicknamed Mountain Eagle, is the chairman of China Film Group. Radio and Television is responsible for review, and he can decide when the movie will be released and when it will be offline, and whether the quality of the movie can be exported abroad, etc., that is to say, domestically produced All the power of life and death in the movie is in his hands, and no one in the mainland entertainment industry dares to offend him.

"Let's think about how to minimize our losses this time!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

"Mr. Wang, Zhou Xingxing is here. He said he has something to discuss with you." While the brothers were discussing, the secretary knocked on the door and came in.

"What's he doing here? While the movie is still in theaters, he, the director, should be participating in the road show to cooperate with the promotion. Why is he always coming to our place? Forget it, let him in!"

Zhou Xingxing, who was white-haired and slightly tired, walked in, greeted the two brothers and sat at the table with a briefcase under his arm.

"My Director Zhou, why are you free to come to our company today?" Wang Zhongjun asked kindly. In fact, he has always hated Zhou Xingxing in his heart. He insists on asking for money and puts on a bad face every day. It's really annoying. Become an onion yourself!

Zhou Xingxing took out a stack of documents from his briefcase and put it on the table. He said solemnly: "Isn't the profit sharing agreement for our movie always just verbal? I found someone to draw up the contract. Everyone is here today, so let’s sign it!”

The Wang brothers were calm on the surface, but they were very confused in their hearts: Hasn't this old boy always been stupid? Why did he suddenly think of this?

"Although our film has been affected a lot because of Wen Zhang's incident, even according to the current box office trend, it will not be less than 500 million. According to what we discussed before, as long as the box office exceeds 500 million, I will be paid 80 million. I believe the two bosses won’t forget about dividends, right?”

The Wang brothers looked at each other and started to fight in a tacit understanding.

"Master Xing, you are serious, can we still deceive you? A gentleman's words are hard to follow, so what difference does it make whether we sign this agreement or not?"

"That's right, Director Zhou, it's boring if you make it so serious."

Zhou Xingxing didn't really trust the person who called. After all, how could a company as big as Huayi rely on his own account? But now, after seeing the two brothers' vague attitudes after he took out the contract, he had to believe it!

"Both Mr. Wang, I have a big family to support here, so it would be better if I sign it so that my employees will feel more at ease. Since you don't intend to default on the debt, it doesn't matter if you sign the contract."

Speaking of which, it would be rude not to sign!

Without saying anything, Wang Zhongjun took the contract, opened it, flipped through a few pages, and then threw it back to Zhou Xingxing: "Mr. Zhou, there is something wrong with your contract!"

"What's wrong?"

"We agreed at the time that we would only receive dividends if the box office exceeds 500 million. Your contract states that if the total box office exceeds 500 million, there will be 80 million. Isn't this bullying honest people?"

"What!"

Zhou Xingxing stood up from his seat and looked at the Wang brothers in disbelief.

The box office split exceeds 500 million, which means that the movie must have a similar score to "Avatar" to get dividends. Who the hell is bullying honest people?

"Mr. Wang, you are not smiling at all this!" Zhou Xingxing was so angry that he couldn't help but speak his hometown dialect!

"We are not kidding. We spent more than 100 million yuan on the investment of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons". If we can only give you so much dividends if the total box office is 500 million yuan, what can we earn? Just think about it and you will know that it is impossible!"

Anyway, we have already torn our faces apart. The box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" was not as expected, and the company invested tens of millions of yuan in publicity in the early stage. With such a high cost, it is impossible to give Zhou Xingxing dividends anyway.

"If Mr. Zhou feels that the director's salary is not enough, we are willing to give you a few million more, but 80 million dividends are definitely impossible, unless the final box office can exceed 500 million."

Are you sending away beggars?

Zhou Xingxing did not intend to argue with the two brothers anymore. This was simply making fun of people. If he stayed here for one more second, he would look like an idiot!

"In that case, let's see you in court!"

"I'm happy to accompany you." Wang Zhonglei almost couldn't help laughing out loud. They would definitely win the case in court. It seems that Zhou Xingxing not only does not understand movies, but also does not understand the law.

Without even saying goodbye, Zhou Xingxing left angrily.

"Stupid!" Wang Zhonglei cursed again after watching Zhou Xingxing slam the door and walk away.

After leaving Huayi, Zhou Xingxing contacted a lawyer to sue the Wang brothers, and ordered the studio staff to stop all publicity work for "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" and delete all Weibo posts, just as if the movie had never been made!

Just as Zhou Xingxing had just finished making a few phone calls and was about to leave, a fat man suddenly appeared and stopped him.

"Hello, Mr. Xing, nice to meet you, I am the manager of the film department of Zongheng Film and Television, my name is Gong Geer, our company has a film project and would like to invite you to cooperate."
