World-class directors in the entertainment industry

"Mr. Wang, you are a rare visitor. Welcome."

Before Qin Dong could take people abroad to film, an unexpected person appeared.

Wang Hua, the boss of Company 18 and the number one agent in the Mainland, appeared in Qin Dong's company in person.

He thought that there was no movement for a long time and that there was no chance, but the moment he saw Wang Hua, Qin Dong felt that there was a way out.

After Wang Hua was invited in by Xu Li, she did not speak directly, but casually looked at the surrounding scenery and smiled:

"Director Qin, I didn't expect you to be a frugal person."

Qin Dong was stunned:

"How do you say this, Mr. Wang?"

Wang Hua gestured around:

"Director Qin's films [in those years] must have earned more than 100 million in just one month of release. However, Director Qin's office environment turned out to be like this..."

Qin Dong laughed loudly:

"If you say that, it's really not my fault."

"Mr. Wang, sit down first. As you say, don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. Has Mr. Wang considered the suggestion I made before?"

After Wang Hua sat down, she looked at Qin Dong intently, and sighed after a long time:

"After I went back, I talked to my friends and my artist friends. Maybe what Director Qin said is right. The entertainment industry has changed and my methods may really be out of date."

"Maybe now is really an era for young people."

Qin Dong listened with a smile and did not interrupt.

"Director Qin, whether our cooperation can be concluded depends on your future plans."

Qin Dong nodded:

"It should."

Wang Hua looked at Qin Dong's confident expression and smiled:

"It seems that Director Qin has a lot of confidence to convince me, so I will listen attentively."

Qin Dong smiled and nodded. This is the truth. Why should a company let people buy shares with just a few words? He ordered Xu Li:

"Director Xu, bring a script prepared by the company to Mr. Wang for a look."

Xu Li came back less than half a minute after she left.

Wang Hua took it and looked at it. It was a novel and a script, both with the same title [Ruoxi and Yongzheng].

"Director Qin is planning to produce two TV series together?"

Wang Hua was a little surprised. This person has a big heart. Although his movies have made money, the two TV series and Qin Dong's "Thailand" movie have already made the whole country aware of it seven or eight months ago.

How much does it cost to make three certificates together? It's like using all your wealth to fight for it.

If you make even one mistake, you will surely fall into the abyss.

Qin Dong turned a blind eye to this and talked about other things:

"Mr. Wang, our company has signed three directors, and my dorm brother graduated from the photography department, so he will definitely be a director in the future."

"In other words, my company now has five directors including me, and the company will produce more and more movies in the future."

"Also, I have reached a cooperation with China Film Group Corporation. After filming [囧囧] is completed, I will immediately start filming my first co-production film."

Wang Hua was completely shocked this time.

Among the so-called great directors in the Mainland, only a few of them occasionally have films that go abroad.

But now this young man, who has just debuted for less than a year, has already planned a co-production for the second year, and China Film has actually agreed?

Wang Hua knows exactly what this means:

"Director Qin, you said you will start shooting the next movie immediately after filming [Thailand]? The script is already ready? The actors already have goals?"

"I will tell you even if Mr. Wang doesn't ask. I think with Mr. Wang's connections, it won't be difficult to check the script I registered, right?"

Qin Dong saw Wang Hua nod slightly and said softly:

"Three scripts [Codename 001], [Codename 002]. [Codename 003]."

The three scripts shocked Wang Hua again. What this young man did seemed very strange. It was completely different from the behavior of people in the entertainment industry that Wang Hua had known before. She was silent for a moment and stood up:

"Director Xu, could you please take me to a quiet room?"

Xu Li looked at Qin Dong, who nodded slightly.

I need to call for confirmation.

Twenty minutes later, Wang Hua came back, looked at Qin Dong intently for a while, and then took out a document from her bag:

"My company is just an independent entertainment agency. It has no plans to go public. It's hard to calculate the assets, but I don't want to worry about this little money."

"Director Qin, look at this, this is our company's revenue last year, about 34 million."

"So I priced the company at 100 million, and Qin Hao invested 33 million for 33.3% of my company's shares. How about that? This is the largest share I can give."

Qin Dong took it and casually looked at the financial statements of the Eighteenth Company last year. He put them aside. The price of Wanghua is very interesting. There is no need to read it. There are so many artists and established stars who only value the company at this point.

Nothing to say:

"One third, that's okay. Let's just settle it. But at the moment I can only put out two million as a deposit. The remaining money will be delivered within half a year. How about that?"

Wang Hua heard that there were still people doing such transactions. It was not a large commercial amount, but she thought of what Qin Dong said just now about producing several dramas in a row:

"Okay, I agree, but I also have requirements."

Qin Dong stretched out his hand to signal:

"Please tell me."

Wang Hua’s eyes flashed with calculation:

"It must be stated in the contract that in the future, in addition to using your company's artists for future films produced by you and your company, the remaining candidates must give priority to our company's artists. Unless they are really unsuitable for the role, we cannot recruit external talents."

Qin Dong thought for a while and nodded slowly:

"Okay, I agreed, no matter who you use it, but I still have requirements."

Having said this, Qin Dong raised his two fingers:

"First, your company's artists must have corresponding acting skills and professionalism."

"Secondly, I hope that all artists who are selected will have no problem with their morals, private ethics, public ethics, and that their hearts will be red, not other colors."

Wang Hua didn't take it seriously when she heard the first one, because it was the basic quality of an artist.

But I frowned on the second one. This statement was a bit empty, as if it was difficult to define, and it was separate from the current activities in the entertainment industry. It was as if the young man in front of me was in the entertainment industry, but his heart was outside the entertainment industry and he was watching indifferently.

"Director Qin really did something unexpected. No wonder he made a lot of money from two consecutive movies."

"This reminds me of a person who is also a director."

"Brothers and Friendship Company used to be just an advertising agency, but because of this director, it got involved in the film industry, and then further entered the entertainment industry, becoming one of the four private giants."

"Later, I took the artists away and almost caused the Brothers Friendship Company to completely collapse. It was this director who revived the company."

"This man also speaks arrogantly for a long time and is known as the Cannon."

"He talks a lot about what he's talking about, but Director Qin doesn't sound like an insider."

"Okay, I agree, these can be written into the contract."

Qin Dong laughed when he heard this:

"Director Xu, let Director Zheng prepare the contract."

...

The contract was quickly prepared, and there was nothing too complicated. Wang Hua could understand it herself. After confirming that it was correct, the two parties formally signed the contract.

"Sister Hua, it will be a pleasure to cooperate with you in the future."

Wang Hua laughed when she heard this young man call her Sister Hua for the first time:

"Most of the people I met before called me Sister Hua, and I'm used to it. But this is the first time that Director Qin has called me that after two meetings. I'm still a little used to it."

Qin Dong laughed loudly:

"By the way, Sister Hua, I will send an accountant to your company later, do you mind?"

Wang Hua shook her head:

"Normal business practices."

"Director Qin, we have now signed a contract and the two companies have officially formed an alliance. So, should we get down to business?"

"Oh, please tell me."

"Director Qin's company is currently producing three films, and I think the characters in them..."
