Chapter 332 Signing

The next day, Zhang Duo, Jin Yutang, Sun Rui, and Fu Keming, a legal adviser of Wanbang Film and Television, and one of his assistants, flew to the capital and went to the China Film Group Building to review the contract.

The reception of Zhang Duo and others was Huang Shiqing, vice president of China Film Group, a man with a big belly and official appearance. After sitting in the conference room, Huang Shiqing laughed and said, "I heard from my nephew Zhang Wenguang that his assistant's words were inappropriate and offended Mr. Zhang. I apologize for him and ask Mr. Zhang not to care about villains. Don't mind."

Zhang Duo said, "I have forgotten a trivial matter!"

Huang Shiqing smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang really has a large number of people who do great things! I'm afraid that he will lose points with Mr. Zhang and can't participate in Zhu Xian!"

Zhang Duo said with a serious look, "Mr. Huang, with all due respect, the external image of his nephew is so good that it does not match Zhang Xiaofan's description in the original work, so it is impossible to star."

Huang Shiqing said, "Oh, Mr. Zhang, this is easy to do. Just ask the makeup artist to draw an ugly point for him. Now the audience likes handsome men and beautiful women, and it doesn't matter if they are more handsome than the original work.

Jin Yutang said, "Mr. Huang, that's not the case. We have discussed before that the final decision of the role is on our Wanbang Film and Television. You want the protagonist when you come up. It's not in line with the rules!"

Huang Shiqing laughed and said, "Young Master Jin, it's meaningless for you to say that. As the saying goes, juli is nothing more than humane. Is there anything wrong with me as an uncle to help my nephew get some opportunities?

Huang Shiqing was so "honest" that Jin Yutang had nothing to say.

Zhang Duo said, "Mr. Huang, we can give Zhang Wenguang a chance to audition, but whether we can get the protagonist depends on his performance. After all, it is a film with 500 million investment. Everything should be done according to the regulations and be responsible for the investment.

Huang Shiqing laughed and said, "It's so good. Let's review the contract together!" After Huang Shiqing finished speaking, he asked his secretary to call in the legal team of China Film Group, a total of four legal advisers and a notary.

Huang Shiqing introduced Zhang Duo and others one by one, and then said, "The content of our contract is not much. We try our best to finish it tonight. Please work hard!"

Seeing that Zhang Duo and Jin Yutang had no objection, Huang Shiqing clapped his hands and two staff in suits took out a pile of contracts from the safe and put them on the table. Zhang Duo glanced at it and said that it was worthy of the contract representing 100 million. It was really thick enough!

Domestic is different from foreign countries. Legal principles are important at home and relations are important at home. The relationship between China Film Group and Wanbang Film and Television is very unusual. Like foreign countries, it is much less likely to rely on contracts to dig pits to calculate each other, because everyone is not a vegetarian and no one is easy to get with each other.

In the process of the review, there are some rules of disputes, but they will never be like the negotiations in foreign movies. Because when the two bosses set the tone, the dispute is easier to solve.

In the afternoon, the question of the art director was reviewed, and this position has a very important right! That is, before any film is released, it needs to be signed by the art director. If the art director doesn't sign, the film cannot be released.

Huang Shiqing said, "Mr. Zhang, I suggest that our Zhongying people take this position."

Jin Yutang sneered and said, "Mr. Huang, I have always been the artistic director in Zhang Duo's films. What do you mean by robbing my job now?

Huang Shiqing smiled and said, "Mr. Jin, how can this be robbed of your job? With so much money invested in China Film, it is impossible for any position in the crew to belong to you, right?

Jin Yutang said, "You invested in Jade Dynasty, and you are naturally a reader of the novel and a player of the game of the same name. In fact, I think this film is more likely to sell well. I prefer to be shot by sole proprietorship!"

When Huang Shiqing heard this, his face suddenly turned red with anger and said to himself that if you can really own the shooting, don't come and sign a contract with us! However, he knew Jin Yutang's dage and the company's attention to this investment, so he didn't dare to say anything like Jin Yutang.

"Mr. Jin, you are insincere when you say that. But you have to give us a position and let me have an explanation, right?

Jin Yutang thought for a moment and said, "You can send someone as a producer!" Huang Shiqing nodded, but there was no objection.

By 10 p.m., all the terms had been reviewed, and Zhang Duo and Huang Shiqing signed their fingerprints respectively, which was regarded as the completion of the signing process.

After pressing the fingerprints, Zhang Duo stretched out his hand and said to Huang Shiqing, "Mr. Huang, I wish us a happy cooperation."

Huang Shiqing smiled and said, "Happy cooperation."

After the contract is signed, it will be notarized within three days. Within a week after the contract is confirmed, the film "Ji Xian" will be prepared for character selection, and the start-up time is scheduled to be one month later...!"

After signing the contract, Wanbang Film and Television held a small press conference to announce the preparations for the film Jade Dynasty. At present, the preliminary budget is 500 million yuan, and the investors are Wanbang Film and Television, Sacred Heart Film and Television, China Film Group and Jiangnan Film and Television Group. In addition to Wanbang Film and Television's 200 million yuan, the other three companies each contributed 100 million yuan.

The script of the whole film was written by Zhang Duo and Wang Cheng, and the producers were Song Siwei, Dai Anmin, Li Wenfeng and Huang Shiqing. Supervisor Gu Zongling, art director Jin Yutang. General director Zhang Duo, deputy director Wu Jiangxiong and Chen Feiyang. The rest of the crew are basically Zhang Duo's former team.

The vast majority of people are not interested in the behind-the-scenes preparations. For the audience, they want to know who plays Zhang Xiaofan and who is lucky to get the roles such as Baguio and Lu Xueqi.

The audition was carried out a week after signing the contract with China Film Group. The actors participating in the audition were basically selected from the artists of four film and television companies: Wanbang, Sacred Heart, China Film and Jiangnan. If you can't find it here, consider artists from other companies.

In Xingshan Film and Television City, there is a busy elephant at this moment, and many places are piled up with costumes and props for ancient costumes. The "Qingyun" people in ancient costumes and carrying swords are everywhere.

You Zhongkang and Zhong Zhicheng sat on the chairs at the gate of the hall of Qingyun Gate, while the staff on both sides held fans to fan the wind for the two.

You Zhongkang has been doing well over the years, his acting skills are becoming more and more exquisite, and he has the title of the first gold medal supporting role in China. As for Zhong Zhicheng, he became the first comedy star in China after the release of The Deer Tripod.

Although Zhang Duo later went to the United States, Wanbang Film and Television still made several films tailored for Zhong Zhicheng, and the effect was very good. Zhong Zhicheng actually came to the top and became the first brother of the artists under Wanbang Film and Television.

Although the two are not what they used to be, if they want to participate in Zhang Duo's movies, they have to come to the audition honestly, and they can't be a big star at all.

Zhong Zhicheng smiled at You Zhongkang and said, "I said, Lao Youzi, you are so handsome and extraordinary. Isn't the role of competing for the field difficult? Isn't it a little condescending? I think it's better for you to fight for the role of Daoxuan!"

You Zhongkang said, "Fuck you, can you have less bad ideas? Tian Buyi's character is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, which is extremely protective and outstanding. I have gained more than ten pounds for this role!"

Zhong Zhicheng waved his hand to drive away all the assistants around him and whispered, "Lao Youzi, tell me the truth, is the role of Tian Buyi for you?"

You Zhongkang said cautiously, "Director Zhang just asked me to read more about Tian Buyi's description and make my stomach fat."

Zhong Zhicheng said, "No, he didn't explain anything to me, so I'm not out of it!"

You Zhongkang said, "I think it's a joint venture shooting after all, and a lot of things have to go through. However, Director Zhang still has the direct power to make a small role like Tian Buyi. But Zhang Xiaofan is different. The good change of performance is directly related to whether the cost of 500 million can be recovered. So don't take it too seriously!"

Zhong Zhicheng sighed, "Actually, I'm very good at acting, but the audience wants to laugh as soon as they see me. It's impossible for Zhu Xian to be made into a comedy, so I basically ran away this time."

You Zhongkang said, "I know you are still wandering around here. If you want me to say that you'd better find a crew to shoot."

Zhong Zhicheng said, "Aren't I trying to get acquainted with Director Zhang? He is becoming more and more international now. If Zhu Xian is going to be released around the world, I have to keep up with the pace of the director!"

You Zhongkang praised: "You still think more! According to you, I would be very lucky if I could get the role of Tian Buyi!"

Zhong Zhicheng said, "What do you think! I heard that in order to cater to the global market, this film will also have Hollywood actors!"

You Zhongkang exclaimed, "No, the appearance of foreigners is so different from us, which is a serious violation!"

Zhong Zhicheng smiled and said, "What's the matter? Let them play the demon religion. Naturally, it doesn't matter what kind of evil spirit they grow into!"

You Zhongkang smiled and said, "Your mouth is really bad!"

In the hall, Zhang Duo, Song Siwei, Jin Yutang, Huang Shiqing, Dai Anmin and Li Wenfeng sat behind the long table, and Zheng Zecheng of Sacred Heart Film and Television auditioned in front of the stage.

After several judges scored, Zheng Zecheng left sadly. After a while, Zhong Zhicheng came in.

For the first brother of Wanbang's film and television artists, several people present performed very politely. However, the ordinary action always exudes a funny meaning in the eyes of these people.

At the end of the performance, Zhong Zhicheng couldn't help laughing and said helplessly, "It seems that I have been fixed. I'd better give up the role of Zhang Xiaofan!"

Jin Yutang said, "Sincere, don't be discouraged. We want to laugh when we see you, which shows that your comedy talent is super strong and well developed. It's good to be a comedy king all the time."

Zhong Zhicheng said, "I really want to participate in Zhu Xian. It seems that there is no chance this time.

After Zhong Zhicheng bowed to several examiners, he wanted to end the stage. Zhang Duo suddenly said, "Wait, Lao Zhong, try the role of Zeng Shushu!"

Zhong Zhicheng heard this and said happily, "Okay, I'll get ready!"
