Chapter 393 Win over After all, Aunt Liu is a person who yearns for the United States, and she has inherited some of the imperialist problems in her bones. Even though she has made the decision to compromise, as long as she feels that there is still a slight chance of being unreasonable, she can't help but want to continue to make trouble. So in the following days, she and Huayi had a repeated tug-of-war. She picked and chose the contract terms offered by Huayi, especially the contract term, and even proposed the delusion of signing a short contract of only three years. And every time the negotiations failed, she would propose the "old method" of signing the contract after the film was released, trying to force Huayi to make concessions. Of course, it would be better if Huayi could agree. Aunt Liu thought she had a good idea. Little did she know that such behavior would only allow Huayi to gradually figure out her little thoughts - this woman might really want to play Huayi for a fool! "fair enough." In the top floor office of Huayi, Wang Zhongjun said with a gloomy face: "There is nothing to worry about when using her in the future. We should take advantage of her current popularity and squeeze as much money out of her as possible to contribute to our listing plan." "rest assured." Wang Zhonglei rubbed his hands and said, "That Liu Xiaoli is just pretending to know everything. She keeps nagging about trivial matters. Once she signs the contract, whether the mother and daughter are on good terms or not will be decided by us!" Wang Zhongjun actually didn't want to bring up this topic. If it weren't for the reports made by Cai Yinong and Zhu Yawen, Huayi might have really been manipulated by that stupid woman.
He spent the whole day hunting geese but was pecked in the eye by a sparrow, which made him feel hot on the face. So Wang Zhongjun quickly changed the subject and asked, "How is Xu Kun's movie going these days?" "It should go smoothly." Wang Zhonglei said: "I heard a few days ago that the subsidy from Thailand was approved ahead of schedule, but the process is still going on in China. This guy is really lucky. Not only did he catch up with the establishment of the 'Thailand Film Affairs Department', but he was also used by the military government as a token of his loyalty to repair relations with our country. I have seen the list of equipment that the military government allows to be rented and used. If this were in our country, you might not be able to get it even if you have money! With these things, the scenes in this movie will definitely be huge. As long as Xu Kun himself doesn't let it down, it will probably be even more successful than "Assembly"! " "You can't say this in front of Director Feng." Wang Zhongjun gave some instructions and then said, "If this movie is a big hit, then his reputation as the 'unique movie in the past 30 years' will basically be established. At his age, his future is certainly limitless. When his contract expires in a few years, it may not be easy for us to keep him - and even if we can keep him, he probably won't be able to get a director contract. Unless he is given the same treatment as Director Feng - but in this case, Director Feng will definitely not be happy, and in the end, if things go wrong, it is likely that nothing will be done and neither side will be pleased. Fan Bingbing's approach has given me another idea. We can take the initiative to propose that he set up a studio, and then maintain a certain affiliation relationship with Huayi. This will benefit both parties." "Then we have to try to win him over in advance." Speaking of this, Wang Zhonglei couldn't help but sigh. When he first met Xu Kun, he was still a little-known rookie. He wanted him to join Huayi only for Ge You's sake. Later, when the negotiations really started, Xu Kun was just a standout among the second-tier young actors. If Huayi had not just suffered a heavy blow at the time, he might not have been qualified to become Huayi's key target for recruitment. As a result, after the consecutive punches of "Boss" and "Lost on Journey", Xu Kun suddenly went from being an "emergency choice" to the "good luck" that Huayi unexpectedly drew. To the extent that the two brothers began to worry that his momentum was too strong and whether he would become the second Wang Jinghua. Now that we see that this guy has hit the right spot again, although there is no guarantee that he will succeed, but because it involves China-Thailand relations, "Operation Kunpeng" has an innate advantage. Xu Kun has repeatedly emphasized that hosting the Olympic Games can promote national pride, and this movie will just cater to this atmosphere. This is also a major reason why the Wang brothers are optimistic about "Operation Kunpeng". This guy is different from other directors. He is really market-oriented. Once he made it...
Therefore, the Wang brothers no longer mention anything about "suppression" or "hedging". After all, at this stage, the only thing that can determine Xu Kun's future fate is the success or failure of "Operation Kunpeng". "In addition to trying to win over Xu Kun." Wang Zhongjun thought for a moment and then said, "You should also put more effort into Qin Lan, Huo Siyan, and Wang Baoqiang—especially Wang Baoqiang." "I understand. Xu Kun values brotherhood the most. As long as Wang Baoqiang is with us, this bond of loyalty will never be severed." …………Just as the Wang brothers were talking about Baoqiang. Wang Baoqiang was wearing a mask and sunglasses, standing on tiptoe in the waiting hall, looking forward to it. When he saw a familiar figure in the crowd, Baoqiang jumped up and down and shouted, "Brother Jing, Brother Jing, over here, over here!" Seeing that Wu Jing didn't seem to hear him, he hurriedly raised a sign that read "Operation Kunpeng" and shook it desperately in Wu Jing's direction. Wu Jing was somewhat absent-minded, so it was not until he got closer that he heard Bao Qiang's shout and then saw the sign for Operation Kunpeng. He quickly pulled the suitcase closer. "Brother Whale!" Bao Qiang danced with joy and said: "Your fighting skills in "SPL", "Black Fist" and "True Man" were so good. I watched these three movies over a dozen times!" "Is it? lol." Wu Jing's response was somewhat perfunctory. Firstly, he failed to recognize who the little man in front of him was. Secondly, among the three films, only "Black Fist" was starred by him. He played villains in the other two films. However, only "Black Fist" flopped at the box office. So since the end of last year, Hong Kong has been looking for him to play villain roles, and now even the new and famous directors in mainland China have positioned him as a villain actor. His status has also obviously declined compared to before he went to Hong Kong Island. This made Wu Jing very frustrated, and he even began to wonder if he had made the wrong choice. If he had stayed in the mainland instead of going south to Hong Kong Island, would he be better developed now? His mind was in a mess, so he naturally didn't pay any attention to the airport pick-up staff. He just subconsciously handed the suitcase to Baoqiang and followed him out of the waiting hall. It was not until he turned around and came to the vicinity of an Audi A6 that Wu Jing came to his senses. Then he saw a familiar figure pushing open the car door and getting out from the back seat. "Zhao Wenzhuo?" After seeing Zhao Wenzhuo, the logical chain that had just formed in Wu Jing's mind suddenly collapsed again. If he is an example of someone who moved from the mainland to Hong Kong Island and whose status declined, then Zhao Wenzhuo is a typical example of someone who moved from Hong Kong Island to the mainland and was ridiculed for being worse off. Going south doesn’t work, and going north doesn’t work either, so how can one become the next Jackie Chan or Jet Li? Just when Wu Jing was confused, Zhao Wenzhuo nodded at him and said "hello", then took the initiative to take the suitcase from Baoqiang. "No, no, I can do it myself." Baoqiang declined with a smile, motioned to Zhao Wenzhuo to help open the trunk, and then put Wu Jing's luggage in it. It was not until this time that Wu Jing realized that something was wrong. He asked Zhao Wenzhuo awkwardly, "Who is this?" "Wang Baoqiang."
Baoqiang rushed to introduce himself, then took off his mask and sunglasses, stretched out his hand to Wu Jing and said, "Brother Jing, I am an old fan of you and Brother Zhao. I have tried to imitate all the classic fighting scenes in your movies." "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't recognize you at first because of you." Wu Jing was a little flustered. Although Baoqiang was not good-looking, he was the leading actor in two movies that grossed over 100 million yuan [he was also a nominal leading actor in "A World Without Thieves"], and he was even more popular in the first half of the year's "Soldier Assault". Of course, the most important thing is his relationship with director Xu Kun, who is a close friend in times of trouble. Otherwise, how could this unprepossessing extra have so many opportunities, and how could he have surpassed so many action actors and become the second male lead with second only to Director Xu in "Operation Kunpeng"? Wang Baoqiang's luck is really bad... and many more! Wu Jing suddenly realized where the problem lay. The predicament he was facing now had nothing to do with whether to go to Hong Kong Island or stay in the Mainland, but rather the lack of support from noble people! (End of this chapter)
