This is equivalent to Liu Shijie only spending 10 million to earn 60 million.

This method has a higher rate of return than Ark Culture's TV series.

If the return rate of "Nirvana in Fire" is more than three times, then he will earn more.

For a small company like Huahuo Media with only one profitable artist, a profit of RMB 60 million from one project is a classic operation case of making a big difference.

Moreover, Liu Shijie does have some cards in his hand.

Because he was approached to talk about not only Ark Culture, but also "Warm Spring Nights in the Lotus Tent" urging him to sign a contract.

Moreover, "A Warm Spring Night in the Hibiscus Tent" does not exclude investment.

Chen Wenhan reserved this project. The initial investment was 100 million. Later, celebrities brought investment into the group, and it gradually increased to 120 million.

If Huahuo Media continues to invest, the total investment in the project will rise to 140 million.

Qiao Yinghong pondered for a moment and said: "Mr. Liu, we sincerely invite Mr. Wang Kai to star in "Langya Bang", and if the drama becomes popular, it will be good for your company and Mr. Wang Kai. Can't you simply get paid to participate?

?”

Liu Shijie shook his head and apologized: "I'm really sorry, our company is not as wealthy as Ark Culture. Our business is under great pressure, so we need to make more money.

"I'm not afraid to tell the truth. The salary offered to us Ah Kai for "Spring Night in the Furong Tent" has already reached 12 million.

"If your company does not accept my cooperation proposal, then I can only choose "Warm Spring Night in the Hibiscus Tent"."

Fang Xing listened and remained silent.

Seeing Liu Shijie's tough attitude now, Fang Xing looked at him for a while and asked: "Is this cooperation plan your company's idea? Or is it your personal idea? Does Wang Kai know about this?"

Liu Shijie kept smiling and replied: "What I mean is what the company means. I am fully responsible for Ah Kai's work arrangements."

Fang Xing nodded slowly, shook his head and chuckled: "To be honest, my original intention was to find the original cast of "The Pretender" to film "Nirvana in Fire", but I didn't think it would be impossible to film the film without a certain actor.

degree.

"Since we can't come to an agreement, let's get together and part ways. I also wish you happy cooperation with other crew members."

Saying this sentence is basically equivalent to the collapse of the conversation.

However, at this moment.

Xiao Qiao at the front desk led another person to the door. It was Wang Kai who had just arrived from business activities.

Wang Kai only brought one assistant with him. As soon as he walked to the door of the conference room, he heard what Fang Xing said.

He was stunned for a moment.

A week ago, during the audition, he and Fang Xing had a very pleasant chat.

At that time, Fang Xing's attitude was very clear. The role of "Jing Prince Xiao Jingyan" belongs to him.

Moreover, he and Fang Xing played brothers in "The Pretender", filmed together, and later promoted the show, and spent almost half a year together.

It can be said that the two of them are very familiar with each other, and he understands Fang Xing's character.

Since it was said during the audition that the role of "Jing Wang Jamel Xiao" was cast for him, there was no way he could go back on his word.

Wang Kai was stunned for a moment, then quickly walked into the conference room and said, "Director Fang, I really like the script "Nirvana in Fire", can you give me another chance?"

Fang Xing sighed and said, "The contract has not been negotiated. Let's discuss other matters in private."

Qiao Yinghong also looked at him, raised the film contract in her hand, and said, "This is the contract, do you want to see it?"

Wang Kai wanted to go over and get the contract, but Liu Shijie stood up, pressed his shoulder and said, "Ah Kai, the contract has not been negotiated, let's go back first."

Huahuo Media's team took Wang Kai away, and this negotiation was considered a failure.

After the meeting.

Fang Xing informed the crew to find new actors to audition for "Jing Wang Jamel Xiao".

The preliminary preparations for "Nirvana in Fire" are almost completed and will be launched in two weeks.

It is impossible for this project to delay the work of the entire crew just because one actor's contract cannot be negotiated.

Moreover, the schedules of other actors have been finalized. If the start of filming is delayed because Wang Kai's contract has not been negotiated, this will cause problems with the schedules of other actors.

Therefore, regardless of whether Wang Kai's contract can be negotiated or not, the crew must start filming on time.

If Wang Kai cannot star, he will have to find another actor to replace him.

The role of "Jing Wang Jamel Xiao" does require certain acting skills, but it is not particularly difficult to play. There are many domestic actors who can play it.

Of course, in terms of salary and image, he may not be as suitable as Wang Kai.

…

During lunch break.

Fang Xing's cell phone rang, and it was a WeChat message from Wang Kai.

Wang Kai: Director Fang, do you have time to say a word?

Fang Xing:Okay.

The message was sent and a voice call was initiated on the other end.

After Fang Xing got through, he took the initiative and said: "The contract has not been negotiated this time, so don't be upset. There will definitely be opportunities to cooperate in the future."

Wang Kai sighed and said, "I roughly know what's going on. In fact, I really want to act. It doesn't matter if the pay is lower."

Fang Xing complained: "Your Mr. Liu wants too much. Doesn't the boss of your company care about things? Do you listen to him in everything?"

Wang Kai reluctantly replied: "Actually, the big boss of the investment company is not from the film and television industry, but the big boss of the cold chain meat products business. He invests in the company, but never asks about the company's affairs. Mr. Liu is in charge."

"That's it..."

Fang Xing didn't expect that the big boss of Huahuo Media was actually an outsider.

However, this situation is quite common in the entertainment industry.

This boss is lucky because the company has a profitable artist. Otherwise, most of the money he invested would be wasted.

After the chat, Fang Xing thought about it seriously, and then asked his assistant to invite Qiao Yinghong over.

"Boss, are you looking for me?" Qiao Yinghong knocked on the office door.

"Go check the background of Huahuo Media and see if you can contact Huahuo's boss." Fang Xing arranged a job for her.

Qiao Yinghong said with a smile: "Wait a moment."

As she spoke, she turned around and went out. She came back not long after, placed a piece of information in front of Fang Xing, and said, "I have checked the background of Huahuo Media a long time ago. The company has been registered for less than two years, and the background is very simple.

"The boss who invested in Huahuo Media is in the cold chain meat products business. To put it in a joking way, he sells pork.

"Of course, this boss's business is very big. Investing in the film and television industry is just a hobby. He probably didn't intend to make money from this at the beginning."

Fang Xing flipped through the information and said, "Then contact this boss Tao and ask him to have tea."
