My movie scared the global audience to tears

"Hello."

Song Qi stretched out his hand to shake Tian Xiaojun's hand and asked doubtfully, "Mr. Tian came to see me. What's the matter?"

"I'm your fan."

Tian Xiaojun said with a smile: "Jaws and Deep Chill, I have watched each of them no less than five times. They are very good. I came here this time just to get to know each other. If you are free, we can go out and sit for a while."

, I wonder if it would be convenient for us to chat together?”

He spoke straightforwardly, and Song Qi looked at him, thinking secretly.

He and Mr. Tian didn't know each other before, but he ended up inviting him to dinner. There must be something wrong with this.

After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "We just want to go to dinner. If Mr. Tian doesn't mind, let's come together!"

"good!"

Tian Xiaojun nodded unceremoniously and asked with a smile: "Then just take my car!"

He stretched out his hand to say hello, and the driver drove his Mercedes-Benz business car over.

"No, I have a car."

Song Qi picked up the key and pressed it, and a hoarse horn sounded from the corner of the parking lot.

Xiao Ma took the keys and ran over, and after a while, a car drove over.

Tian Xiaojun looked at the small car that was almost half the length of his own car. He was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll just follow you."

Several people got into the car respectively, with the pony driving in front, and drove to the restaurant.

In the car, Xiao Ma glanced at the rearview mirror, shook his head and said, "Brother Qi, I think this Mr. Tian seems to be coming with bad intentions!"

Song Qi also felt this way. Hearing this, he rubbed the bridge of his nose and said, "Just wait and see what happens!"

Soon, two cars arrived in front of a Sheep and Scorpion hotpot restaurant.

"It's cold, let's eat something hot. Mr. Tian can eat spicy food, right?"

Song Qi rushed out of the car and greeted Tian Xiaojun, who was looking at him.

"Okay, no problem."

Tian Xiaojun was very calm and smiling.

Song Qi and others entered the store first. When they were communicating with each other at the bar to reserve information, the cashier was suddenly startled when he saw Song Qi. He pointed at him and opened his mouth wide, shouting "Ahhh", but couldn't say his name.

Seeing that she was feeling uncomfortable holding back, Song Qi reminded her: "Big octopus."

"Ah! That's right! You are the big octopus! Ah... no!"

The cashier blushed and said excitedly: "You are the leading actor in the big octopus movie!"

"That's right, it's me."

Song Qixiao asked: "Can I get a discount by brushing my face?"

"hey-hey!"

The cashier smiled sheepishly: "I'm just a part-time worker."

"I know, I am teasing you, as much as I should."

Song Qi smiled and followed the waiters to the box.

"Director Song is really famous!"

Tian Xiaojun sat down and made a joke.

"We come here often, so it's not surprising to recognize me."

Song Qi was too lazy to be polite to him, so he got to the point directly and asked: "Mr. Tian, ​​what do you want from me? Just tell me!"

"Haha! Director Song Qi is really quick to talk, so I won't talk nonsense."

Tian Xiaojun smiled, and then said seriously: "Actually, the reason why I came here this time is to invite you to join Eternal Pictures."

Hearing the word "join" in his mouth, Song Qi's eyebrows wrinkled.

Cooperation is okay, join?

After taking a sip of tea, Song Qicai said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Tian, ​​for your love, and thank you to Eternal Pictures for your attention. However, I have already established my own film and television company, and I have no intention of joining anyone else's team at the moment."

"Hey! Director Song, don't be too busy refusing, let's talk first!"

Tian Xiaojun smiled and said: "You may not know much about our Eternal Pictures, let me tell you about our Eternal Pictures first!

The predecessor of Eternal Pictures was the Second Branch of Magic City Film Studio. It has been 78 years since its restructuring.

Over the past 78 years, Eternal Pictures has shot a total of 1,829 films, trained three super directors, 67 first-class directors, 33 movie kings, 62 movie queens, and countless related practitioners.

In terms of film and television production, Eternal Pictures is definitely one of the top companies in China..."

Song Qi looked at Tian Xiaojun's gushing appearance, and exchanged glances with Xiao Ma helplessly.

After Tian Xiaojun finished explaining, Song Qicai said again: "I'm sorry, Mr. Tian, ​​I really don't have this idea."

Tian Xiaojun's smile did not change: "How about we talk about the treatment?"

"..."

Song Qi was speechless, but Tian Xiaojun thought he had acquiesced and said with a smile: "We at Eternal Pictures have a special talent training mechanism. For industry talents with great potential, we will have special funds and teams to assist them."

Build up a tree.

If you join Eternal Pictures, we will invest one billion in you every year. You can use the money to shoot works or invest in yourself. The company will completely respect your choice, and apart from some basic requirements, no

There will be too many harsh restrictions on you, but it is still very humane."

One billion a year... Listening to this condition, Song Qi was somewhat moved.

The concept of investing in yourself is very broad. Buying yourself a mansion and a luxury car, cultivating your aristocratic temperament and social circle are all within the scope of investing in yourself, which is equivalent to giving him one billion dollars a year.

After all, it is Eternal Pictures, which is really wealthy!

But it was a pity that Song Qi still shook his head: "Sorry, Mr. Tian, ​​I still want to try starting my own business."

Tian Xiaojun was finally a little surprised: "Start a business? In today's film and television industry, where are there any opportunities to start a business?"

"You have to give it a try!"

Song Qi smiled.

"How naive..."

Tian Xiaojun shook his head and explained: "Don't mind if I speak a bit bluntly. What I want to say is that today's film and television industry is a game of capital. Almost no one can start from scratch. This is determined by the market environment."

He looked at Song Qi and said seriously: "You have experience in three movies, so you should know this. Why do you Xinyu Film and Television have to bring in so much investment when you can obviously invest on your own and make all the money? Let's jointly produce it."

?If you have money, everyone needs to make it together, otherwise we will screw you. That’s how the market is.”

Seeing his serious look, Song Qi suddenly asked: "Then if I insist on trying it myself, will Tian always do it to me?"

"meeting."

Tian Xiaojun was very calm: "Don't mind if I speak frankly, but the market pie is so big. If a newcomer comes up, it means there is one more mouth to grab the cake. Even if Eternal Pictures doesn't engage you, other film and television companies will.

you."

"..."

Tian Xiaojun's directness made Song Qi a little confused. Is this the communication method of large companies?

"I'm talking about extreme situations. Blindly suppressing newcomers is not a virtuous circle of business. Therefore, our goal at Eternal Pictures is to make the cake bigger so that everyone can eat. This requires many outstanding people like you, Director Song.

If more filmmakers join in, we can work together to achieve win-win results and become bigger and stronger!"

Tian Xiaojun smiled and was very confident: "As the saying goes, you can enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree. We at Eternal Pictures will never treat our people badly. If you choose us, you will not regret it. I will use my career as a guarantee!"

Song Qi was silent. Tian Xiaojun was a good negotiator. He used both kindness and power when speaking, even giving and beating, so that he didn't know how to refuse.

"Does Mr. Tian bring the contract?"

he asked.

As if he had expected this question, Tian Xiaojun took out a standard contract with a smile and handed it to Song Qi.

After a quick browse, Song Qi's expression changed. After a long while, he smiled and shook his head and said: "Mr. Tian, ​​I'm sorry, I still can't join Eternal Pictures. Everyone has their own ambitions. I hope Mr. Tian won't force it."

This time, Tian Xiaojun was really surprised: "Are you dissatisfied with the terms? This is just a standard contract, and the specific details can still be discussed."

"No need."

Song Qi shook his head: "I have decided, let's eat!"

The terms in this contract are quite overbearing, not only taking away the director's final editing rights, but also taking away all content copyrights and surrounding copyrights of the work.

After signing the contract, he completely became a pure wage earner, but with a higher salary.

Song Qi knew very well that Tian Xiaojun's so-called negotiability was only about salary and the amount of special funds. He couldn't even think of negotiating any of these copyrights.

Copyright is the most valuable thing. How could Song Qi agree to such a domineering contract?

Tian Xiaojun was silent for a long time, then he put away the contract with a smile, stopped mentioning it, and started laughing and chatting with Song Qi and others.

He is cheerful, good at self-deprecation, and also likes to joke. The few of them chatted while eating, and the atmosphere soon returned to joy.

Not only that, Tian Xiaojun also took advantage of the time to go to the toilet and went to the bar to buy the order. He also issued a membership card worth 10,000 yuan, so that Song Qi and others could come and spend money when they were free.

The two parties said goodbye at the door of the hot pot restaurant. Xiao Ma watched Tian Xiaojun's car leave and asked worriedly: "Brother Qi, can you sign the contract?"

"Of course not." Song Qi replied without thinking.

Hearing this, Xiao Ma became even more worried: "If we don't sign, will this guy mess with us?"

"well!"

Song Qi sighed: "We will definitely do it, it just depends on whether we can stand it or not."

"Don't be afraid!"

Xiao Ran was cheering on the side: "We don't steal or rob, so what can he do to us?"

Song Qi smiled and did not explain.

If only society could be this simple.

The blow Song Qi expected came quickly, and it came faster than he expected.

A few days later, Xiao Ma received news that Xinyu Film and Television seemed to have encountered some trouble with the payment convenience.

Theater chains that were originally scheduled to settle payments at the end of the month suddenly changed their tune, saying that they had difficulty with capital turnover and could only settle with commercial acceptance bills.

A commercial acceptance bill is a kind of bill issued and paid by an enterprise with credit as the endorsement. To put it bluntly, it is an IOU. The bank does not recognize it at all, and it is basically impossible to spend it in the market.

The originally promised cash turned into a commercial acceptance bill overnight, and everyone knew there was someone behind this.

As for the person who caused the trouble, if nothing else, it is Eternal Pictures.

Except for Eternal Pictures, there are not many companies with such influence that can influence so many theater chains to change their faces at the same time.

The 10,000 yuan membership card was obviously given by Tian Xiaojun, and this wave of cash turned into a business deal was naturally a big deal.

Song Qi didn't expect Tian Xiaojun to be so decisive and ruthless. After this move, things got really tricky.
