Chapter 105: Are Tangren Shares for Sale?

It has been more than half a year since Guangying Times upgraded from a shell company to a formal company, and employees in various positions of the company have gradually arrived.

Although there are not many people, including the more than 20 crew members who have signed contracts with the company, there are only more than 50 people, but Wu Yuan still rented two floors of office buildings in one go.

The first floor is mainly used by employees and is divided into cubicles. Each employee has his own office area.

The second floor is a large office space such as conference room, reception room, lounge, general manager's office, etc.

At this time, all the actors who came to audition "If Love" were waiting in the reception room, and Zhang Guorong brought his assistant director and the producer arranged by the company to call people for auditions in the conference room.

Originally, Wu Yuan should have been one of the audition officers.

However, he did not follow the interview of actors now, but entertained Cai Yinong of Tangren Film and Television in his office.

It has to be said that there are really few ugly people who can mix in the entertainment industry.

Even Cai Yinong, who works as a producer behind the scenes, is very beautiful and looks a bit like Liu Shishi.

Wu Yuan actually met Cai Yinong in his dream. At that time, he was just an assistant director, and Cai Yinong had gained weight, and she was almost two different people fatter than now.

But she is only in her early thirties this year, and she has not gained weight yet. If she were put on the street, she would definitely be considered a beauty.

"Director Wu, I have heard of you for a long time!"

"You are the leader among our Chinese directors. I have seen every one of your movies and I like it very much, especially the "Juno"..."

"I am so grateful that you invited our Sun Li to star in your "Departures"..."

The meeting between the two began with Cai Yinong's flattery. Wingdings: ♦︎♦︎⬧︎♦︎◆︎⌧︎♦︎♦︎□︎❍︎

Cai Yinong originally came from the film industry. In the 1990s, she planned to build a film company in Hong Kong Island. Although it didn't work out in the end, when she returned to the mainland to set up Tangren Films, she also wanted to make movies from the beginning and wanted to enter the film market.

So he admired Wu Yuan, a successful director, from the bottom of his heart, and was also jealous.

If he could get in touch with this person, wouldn't Tangren take off?

Look at how cool Huayi is now after getting in touch with Feng Xiaogang!

When she saw Wu Yuan asked her to talk, Cai Yinong of course flattered Wu Yuan first, and said good things to him as if he didn't care about money.

Of course, Wu Yuan is not a rookie who would be flattered by Cai Yinong's words.

He also greeted with a smile:

"Manager Cai, you Tangren have been doing very well in the field of TV drama production in recent years!"

"The Twins, Legend of Heaven and Earth, The Female Generals of the Yang Family, The Book and the Sword, and The Unparalleled are all TV dramas with very high ratings!"

The TV dramas Wu Yuan cited are all excellent TV dramas produced by Tangren in the five years since its establishment.

This is all due to Cai Yinong's experience in Hong Kong Island for many years, as well as her accumulation of numerous connections and resources, and her keen judgment of the market environment.

And her "virtuous wife" director Li Guoli.

Cai Yinong and Li Guoli met in 1993, when she was only 22 years old.

Five years later, in 1998, Cai Yinong and Li Guoli reached a consensus and moved to the mainland to jointly establish the company [Tangren], and served as general manager, Li Guoli served as production director, and the two held 50% of the shares each.

The division of labor between the two is very clear. Cai Yinong is in charge of planning, management, publicity and casting, while Li Guoli is responsible for film and television production.

It took another five years for Tangren to create a number of high-quality TV series with high ratings and excellent reputation.

The worst performance of these dramas was also a hit in the mainland, and the best performance was even popular in Singapore and Malaysia from both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

However, the leading actors of these TV series are all Hong Kong and Taiwan stars.

The "Detective Ke Lan" produced by Tangren used all mainland actors, and the ratings were much worse.

It is also because of this that Tangren has determined the actor configuration of Hong Kong and Taiwan actors as red flowers and mainland actors as green leaves.

In the first five years of its establishment, Tangren has been accumulating works and gaining recognition from the audience through such actor configuration, and now it has gained a certain degree of popularity.

From the current point of view, Tangren is definitely a film and television company with high-quality assets, good operation and bright prospects.

In another year or two, this company will enter its true peak period.

That's why Wu Yuan wanted to start as soon as possible. If he was any slower, it would be difficult to start!

"However, I remember the full name of your company is Tangren Film International Co., Ltd., right?"

Wu Yuan looked at Cai Yinong with a smile, and asked with some emotion: "Isn't it difficult to make movies?"

Yes, although Tangren is now and in the future, it is famous for making TV series.

But in fact, this company was founded with the goal of making movies.

Li Guoli is a director who started out as a movie director, and Cai Yinong also started out in the film industry!

The first project Tangren made in the year it was founded was a movie called "Spring Breeze in Meilong Town".

This is a co-production, Tangren co-produced with Shanghai Film in the shell of the Hong Kong Island branch.

Then this movie failed, and Tangren didn't dare to touch the film field for five years.

Wu Yuan now mentioned Tangren's failure in the film field, which made Cai Yinong's expression stiff for a moment.

However, she adjusted in an instant, "Director Wu, what do you mean by mentioning this?"

Wu Yuan still maintained his faint smile: "I just want to ask, does Tangren still want to continue making movies?"

"Now the mainland's film production market has been liberalized, and film production companies such as Huayi, Bona, Shanhai, and Lingyue have sprung up abroad."

"Don't people in Tang Dynasty have any ideas in this regard?"

I have an idea!

Why don't you have any ideas?

Cai Yinong sighed in his heart, but what could he do if he had an idea.

Now that Tangren has finally gained a foothold in the field of TV dramas, what it needs to do is to expand its market in the field of TV dramas, rather than blindly open up the film industry.

Even though movies and TV series are both film and television, the gap between the two is terrifyingly large.

No matter now or in the future, those who make TV series and those who make movies will never be in the same circle.

So even though he really wanted to make a movie, Cai Yinong's rationality still prevailed.

She considered it and said: "For the time being, Tang Ren will continue to work hard in the field of TV dramas and delve into the TV drama market."

“As far as movies are concerned, I have more than enough ambition but not enough energy.”

"Oh?" Wu Yuan raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

No wonder the Tang people will reach their peak in the next five years. The leader of the Tang people in front of them has very clear ideas and clear decisions!

Wu Yuan was so tempted, and he obviously wanted to bring Tang Ren into the film industry, but there were no conditions. Cai Yinong refused to step into this trap.

It doesn't matter.

The smile on Wu Yuan's face did not change.

He also has plan B!

"That's it." Wu Yuan's tone was still relaxed, and he asked again like a casual chat: "By the way, the two newcomers that Mr. Cai brought today are the newly signed actors from Tang Dynasty, right?"

"Do you, Tangren, plan to expand your operations in the area of ​​artist management?"

Cai Yinong was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Wu Yuan meant by this. After thinking about it, there was nothing he couldn't say, and then he said, "I have a plan in this regard."

now it's right.

Wu Yuan nodded: "But Tangren can't use film resources to cultivate its artists, right?"

"Mr. Cai, we can still cooperate."

Cai Yinong was a little moved, "How to cooperate?"

"My film company will produce at least two movies every year for the next five years, but my company has not signed any actors."

"It's hard to find good actors. Look at Guorong's "If Love" this time. We just had an audition like this."

"It would be much more convenient if there was a professional actor agency that could provide us with excellent actors."

Wu Yuan looked at Cai Yinong with burning eyes: "Perhaps actors under Tang Dynasty can help me share my worries?"

"What are the conditions?" Cai Yinong's expression remained unchanged. All benefits must be exchanged for a price.

Wu Yuan smiled and said crisply: "Mr. Cai, do you want to sell Tang Ren's shares?"
