World-class directors in the entertainment industry

Daqin Empire Entertainment Company.

There were women talking about Qin Dong behind his back. A certain man didn't know anything about it. At this time, he was meeting an important guest.

A beautiful woman in her thirties who still retains her charm.

"Welcome Mr. Cai."

Mr. Cai Huan, the founder and general manager of Magic City Sugar Man, is here.

This strong woman with a red Hu Changsu in one hand flew to Kyoto to meet Qin Dong in person.

"Mr. Qin, since the last phone call, I have been wanting to see you sooner."

Cai Huan looked at Qin Dong. This was the first time she saw this unusually young director in person. The phone call made her think about it and finally made up her mind.

Qin Dong listened with a smile on his face and extended his hand to invite the other party to sit down:

"Sit down first. Since Mr. Cai is here, it seems that Mr. Cai thinks Qin's original suggestion is feasible."

Faced with Qin Dong's direct topic, Cai Huan did not nod or shake his head, but asked first:

"Mr. Qin, I came here in person because I want to hear your plan with my own ears."

"Whether it's feasible or not depends on whether your plan is worth it. Let me give up the artists that the company has worked hard to cultivate for several years."

When Qin Dong heard this, he nodded in agreement:

"Mr. Cai's words are correct, but it's impossible to show you the script now."

"Because everything is still in preparation, the manuscript has not been completed, and it has not been registered. I hope you understand."

Cai Huan nodded upon hearing this, waiting for the next words.

"The outline has been prepared. In my expectation, this is a film with a single male protagonist. The female protagonist is just a foil, and other supporting roles have very few roles."

"So for the heroine, I decided to invite a young star of the new generation in Hollywood, Miss Scarlett [Black Spider], who has made a name for herself in commercial films in recent years."

"I hope it can be an instant hit. It's difficult for me to guarantee you the specifics."

"Who knows how the film will be received internationally after it is released in China."

"However, we can discuss it based on the film's box office."

"The cost of this movie is probably more than 200 million yuan."

"If the theater box office alone loses money, then I will still make another movie for Hu Changsu in the future. If the theater box office alone makes a profit, then our agreement is over. What do you think, Mr. Cai?"

Cai Huan was shocked when he heard this. This young man has so much confidence and a great tone.

He just made his first movie, and the total box office was barely 200 million, but this person actually plans to spend more than 200 million to shoot a movie a year later.

After contemplating for a long time, Cai Huan spoke:

"Mr. Qin, I really admire you for your great ambition."

"I agree with most of what you said. I just want to add one thing, that is, the overseas box office must be excellent."

"The cost of more than 200 million, even if calculated based on the domestic box office, would be worth 500-600 million."

"You know what my needs are. I don't value the domestic box office. I hope the film's overseas box office will be outstanding. Should we set a goal for this?"

Qin Dong was stunned, thought about it carefully, and understood.

Cai Huan wanted to completely promote Hu Changsu out of China, not to mention internationally, at least to make him famous in Southeast Asia.

Therefore, she hopes that the overseas box office of the film will be higher than the domestic box office.

"This is not non-negotiable, but you also know that outside the country, the share of the movie released in other countries is very small, so we have to discuss this data carefully."

Cai Huan nodded and continued to add:

"President Qin, we will also add a liquidated damages. If you fail to complete the film as agreed next year, then the Great Qin Empire will compensate Sugar Man 300 million."

Qin Dong frowned, he was trying too hard, and shook his head:

"I don't agree with what Mr. Cai said. Liquidated damages are allowed, but isn't the amount a bit exaggerated?"

Cai Huan smiled when he heard this:

"Mr. Qin, don't you know the value of a popular female star?"

"Various endorsements outside the show, appearance fees for attending events, etc."

"More than three hundred million?"

Qin Dong curled his lips and said with a sneer without giving any face:

"A top female star is worth a lot, but Liu Sisi is still a newcomer. I don't think the profits she creates every year are that exaggerated."

"Besides, it seems that her contract with you sugar men only has three years left. Oh, three years are not even there yet."

"With her current fame, you told me she could earn 300 million in three years?"

"Mr. Cai, I don't like bargaining and I'm too lazy to kill time. In one sentence, I'll pay 50 million liquidated damages."

"Otherwise, you can just go wherever you came from."

Thinking of Liu Sisi's face, Qin Dong still paid a high price for liquidated damages. He didn't think he would fail.

What's more, the liquidated damages only require him to shoot a co-production with Hu Changsu as the male protagonist next year. As long as he shoots it next year, there will be no liquidated damages. So be generous, Qin Dong endured it for the sake of women.

Cai Huan's expression froze. He didn't expect the young man to have such an irritable temper and not have the back-and-forth of a businessman at all. Forget it, I don't have the same experience as him.

"Okay, let's just follow Mr. Qin's amount."

Qin Dong didn't bother to care about Cai Huan's reluctant tone. He was obviously getting an advantage. If it weren't for Liu Sisi, Qin Dong wouldn't want to train artists for other companies. He directly pressed the landline on the table:

"Director Xu, please call Director Zheng and come in."

Half an hour later, all the relevant details were settled, and after the contract was negotiated, Qin Dong breathed a sigh of relief.

Communicating with a strong woman is really not a pleasant activity.

"Mr. Cai, I hope that before the end of the year, Hu Changsu's figure and temperament will lean towards a tough military look. If you fail to achieve my goal by then, it means you have breached the contract. Manager Zheng of our company will follow up on the follow-up procedures.

.”

When he finally shook hands with Cai Huan to say goodbye, Qin Dong informed him.

He really doesn't want to deal with complicated things.

...

"Mr. Qin, why are you so urgent?"

After the guests left and they were all on their own, Xu Li asked bluntly.

It feels like Qin Dong’s conditions for poaching an actress are too high.

Qin shook his head and said nothing.

Can he say that he is greedy for body?

Can he say that the videos he makes may not be very popular, but it is basically difficult to lose money?

"Sister Li, have you obtained your passport?"

Xu Li didn't get the answer to the question and didn't ask further. After all, she was just a part-time worker:

"It's done, Mr. Qin, I'll give it to you now."

Qin shakes his head:

"No, let Zheng Dajun hold it, you... wait a moment."

Qin Dong thought of other things, took out his cell phone and started calling:

"Hey, Director Gao, could I please help you?"

"What I told you a few days ago, if it is suitable, I will go to the Radio and Television to register the script later, and I will take people to Hollywood tonight."

"I don't have much time. I hope your people over there can make good arrangements and finish it as soon as possible so that I can come back early to shoot my second movie."

"Huh? No problem, right? Okay, thank you. Okay, okay, bye."

Qin Dong put down his phone and told Xu Li:

"Sister Li, book a flight ticket and ask Dajun to prepare relevant documents. He and I will fly abroad tonight."

Xu Li nodded and agreed while walking outside:

"good."

Xu Li had a premonition when Qin Dong asked him to apply for his and Zheng Dajun's passports a few days ago.

After Xu Li went out, Qin Dong took out three scripts from the drawer.

"Code 001."

"Code 002."

"Code 003."

These three scripts are all co-productions prepared by Qin Dong, and they must be registered early, not only domestically, but also abroad.

I'm afraid that someone abroad has registered a similar script in advance, so I have to act first.

If we bump into each other, they will take the photo first, and a cross-border lawsuit will be a hassle.

Especially now in 2010, there are still rumors about the end of the world on Aquamarine.

So after Qin Dong thought about this matter before, he immediately paid attention to it and decided to do it immediately.

At that time, I called Gao Liang of China Film Group Corporation to inquire. After all, I was unfamiliar with the place. China Film Group Corporation is still influential in Hollywood, and most people don’t understand.
