Chapter 834: Another Gambling Match? ? Just Sit Back and Watch the Contract Termination Incident and Get Blacklisted!

Chapter 834: Another gambling? ? Wait and see... Termination storm... Put yourself on the blacklist!

Two days have passed in a flash. Since Zhang Hanyu returned from the Venice International Film Festival, he has also joined the promotion and roadshow activities of "Operation Mekong" as soon as possible.

As the National Day is getting closer, the main creative team can't help but get nervous.

The last main theme commercial movie "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" directly cut 2.235 billion yuan in box office after it was released.

Now, "Operation Mekong" has a higher investment and a bigger lineup than the former.

In this case, if the box office results are too bad, it would be a bit unreasonable.

"Anyway, my goal is 3 billion box office, you can look forward to it, maybe we will succeed?"

Chen Fei's prediction would have been better if he didn't say it. Once he said it, the main creators became more nervous.

The goal of 3 billion box office is not something that can be achieved casually. We have to work hard to achieve it!

"Director Chen, after the event is over, can I take up a few minutes of your time?"

Zhang Hanyu's words made Chen Fei curious.

"Is there anything?"

Zhang Hanyu nodded: "Someone wants me to help pass on a message."

"Okay." Chen Fei smiled and said: "Come to my car after the event is over."

The two of them sang in unison and attracted a lot of attention, but no one took the initiative to ask, after all, gossip is taboo in this situation.

They were busy until 10:30 in the morning. After saying goodbye to a group of fans who came to support them, Chen Fei and Zhang Hanyu returned to the nanny car.

As soon as the car door was closed, Zhang Hanyu went straight to the point: "Director Feng Xiaogang contacted me last night and said that he wanted to meet you and asked me to ask you in person when you are free."

Feng Xiaogang?

Chen Fei raised his eyebrows: "Why didn't he call me in person?"

Zhang Hanyu shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

"Then let's do it this afternoon. It just so happens that I have nothing to do in the afternoon, so let him book a place."

Chen Fei was still quite curious. After all, his social interactions with Feng Xiaogang have become less and less in recent years, and he didn't know why the other party suddenly made such an invitation this time?

"Okay, I'll reply to Director Feng right away."

Zhang Hanyu responded, opened the car door and got out of the car.

It was still early, so Chen Fei simply returned to the villa, picked up Liu Yifei, and went out for a meal first.

At 1 o'clock, a text message suddenly appeared on his mobile phone, and the location of a teahouse was marked on it.

The meeting time was at 3 o'clock, and Chen Fei was not in a hurry. He leisurely sent Liu Yifei back to the villa, accompanied her to sleep for half an hour, and then set off for the destination.

The location of the teahouse was not far away, and Chen Fei arrived at the door in less than half an hour.

"Mr. Chen, please follow me."

As soon as he entered the room, the waiter who had been waiting at the door came to greet him and took him to the VIP room area.

As the door of the room opened, Chen Fei saw Feng Xiaogang, who was grinning and chatting with the tea artist.

Feng Gangpao is an old man with a young heart. He made the little girl's face blush and was about to collapse.

"Director Feng is so elegant!"

Chen Fei teased and sat down in front of Feng Xiaogang.

"Come, drink tea, drink tea, hahaha!"

Feng Xiaogang had gained a lot from this trip to the Venice International Film Festival. He gained a lot of fame and benefits, and he seemed even more proud at this moment.

The two chatted casually for a while, and when the tea artist made a pot of new tea and got up and left the room, they got to the point.

"I invited you here this time mainly to talk to you about my new project."

As Feng Xiaogang spoke, he took out the draft of "I Am Not Madame Bovary" that he had prepared long ago and handed it directly to Chen Fei.

"This is a script co-written by Liu Zhenyun and me. It is a realistic theme. It mainly tells the story of a rural woman who was deceived and verbally insulted by her ex-husband. In order to seek justice, she started a decade-long lawsuit and petition, encountered many obstacles, and finally let go of her ex-husband's accidental death..."

When talking about movies, Feng Xiaogang's mouth was like a machine gun.

He introduced Chen Fei in detail the script, cast, market prospects and other prospects of the movie.

Finally, he directly revealed his purpose: "I actually have two purposes for inviting you here this time.

One is to invite you to participate in film investment, and the other is to learn about your "New Art Film Recovery Plan" to see if my script is qualified to be selected?"

Chen Fei's expression suddenly became a little subtle.

"Director Feng actually thinks highly of the 'New Art Film Recovery Plan'? That's just a channel I use to provide opportunities for some frustrated young directors. At most, I can give them some investment and give them more preferential treatment in terms of theater scheduling."

Feng Xiaogang laughed: "You should also understand that in terms of making award-winning films, I am actually no different from those frustrated young directors."

"Director Feng, you are joking. You have Huayi behind you. You have money and resources. How can it be as bad as you say?"

Chen Fei began to play witty words with Feng Xiaogang. Anyway, he didn't believe that Feng Gangpao would lack money and resources.

"Then I'll tell you the truth."

Seeing that what he said could not convince Chen Fei, Feng Xiaogang stopped hiding it and said in a deep voice: "I have just established a film and television company called Dongyang Meila."

Chen Fei nodded slightly: "Well, I know this."

The media had previously reported that Feng Xiaogang's film and television studio was upgraded to a company, and it turned out to be Dongyang Mira.

However, this news did not cause any ripples in the circle.

"After the company was established, I signed a betting agreement with Huayi. They would use 1.05 billion to purchase 70% of my company's shares. The price is that I need to invest every year from 2016 to 2020. Make an after-tax net profit of no less than 100 million, and increase it at an annual rate of 15%..."

Hearing this, Chen Fei's mouth began to twitch.

You know, the gambling agreement signed by Zhang Guoli and Huayi is still in progress.

The former has been so busy in the past few years that his heels are almost off the ground, just to fulfill the gambling conditions.

But Feng Xiaogang was lucky. He had learned from the past and still jumped into the pit. Wasn't this asking for his own death?

However, Chen Fei had to admit that he still underestimated Feng Xiaogang's confidence.

"The agreement has been signed, and this "I'm Not Pan Jinlian" is the project I plan to use to cope with the first year of the gambling agreement.

The main reason I came to you this time is that after the movie is released, you can provide some support in arranging movies in theaters. If we have money, we can make money together, right? "

Hearing this, Chen Fei started to feel a little pity for Feng Xiaogang.

It has to be said that the two brothers of the Wang family are really doing a lot of damage. They even cheated their partners and the company's major shareholders.

Once the gambling agreement is signed, won't Feng Xiaogang become their family's "long-term employee"?

Poor Feng Xiaogang is still full of joy, thinking that with more than 1 billion, he can soar into the sky and make the company prosperous within 5 years.

However, the fact is that it is not that simple for a film and television company to achieve excess profits?

You know, there are at least 500 movies produced in China every year, but only a handful of them can really make money, and some of them are not even qualified to go to theaters.

Under such circumstances, how could Feng Xiaogang maintain a winning streak?

After realizing this, Chen Fei suddenly lost interest in the proposals he mentioned.

"Director Feng, first of all, I'm very grateful for your trust in telling me so many inside stories, but I'm sorry that I can't participate in this project."

Feng Xiaogang frowned slightly when he heard this, but quickly regained his composure.

He knew very well that top film investors like Chen Fei could not be persuaded so easily.

So, he tried to impress Chen Fei with a more sincere tone: "Although I don't know what your concerns are, this movie means a lot to me!

And I believe it will also become a highlight in your investment career. If you are willing, we can explore more ways of cooperation together. "

Chen Fei has made up his mind, and naturally he will not change his mind just because of these two words.

“I still say the same thing, just forget about investing, because our company has so many confirmed projects in the second half of the year, and I don’t have the energy to pay attention to external projects.

Of course, if you are very interested in the "New Literary Film Recovery Plan", you can wait until the finished film is produced and show it to me. If it is suitable, Pan-Asia Cinemas will definitely give you preferential treatment in scheduling the film. "

Feng Xiaogang opened his mouth and wanted to persuade him again, but looking at Chen Fei's serious expression, he suddenly realized that it would be useless to say anything now.

"Oh well."

…

Chen Fei did not stay at the teahouse for long and left within an hour.

After seeing him off, Feng Xiaogang took out his mobile phone and dialed Wang Zhonglei's number. He said regretfully: "Director Wang, we failed. It's too difficult to convince him."

On the other end of the phone, Wang Zhonglei was silent for a long time, and asked with some reluctance: "We haven't secured the investment, how about the theater arrangement?"

"He said he would make a decision after watching the finished film."

"Hmph! This kid is as slippery as a loach!" Wang Zhonglei couldn't help but complain a few words, but in the end he had to give up: "Since you can't win him over, let's try other companies.

I heard that Dong Chengpeng also established his own film and television company? Try to see if you can win him over. His recent popularity is no less popular than those idol stars. "

"Okay, let me give it a try."

Feng Xiaogang agreed without much thought.

He had high expectations for "I'm Not Pan Jinlian", and he even had enough confidence in the betting conditions. He never even thought about the consequences of failure.

…

On the way back to the company, Chen Fei couldn't help but mutter:

"Can this group of directors, stars, and artists not even know how to do the simplest arithmetic? Or are they simply blindly confident? Doesn't the success rate of a bet that spans such a long time not count?"

He couldn't figure it out, couldn't guess, he could only sit back and watch the show.

After returning to the company, he went out of his way to take a look at the current state of the film market.

September is already halfway through, and with the exception of "One Hundred Regiments", all mainland Chinese films that claim to be "blockbusters" have been cleared by theaters in advance.

Looking around, imported blockbusters once again occupy half of the country.

Especially the Mission: Impossible 5: Rogue Nation, which grossed 550 million yuan in the first week of its release, which is incredible!

Looking around, many domestic media have already focused their reports on the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony to be held in three days.

The film market is really too bleak, and there is nothing to report.

However, the related reports on TV series and variety shows are quite eye-catching.

"The crime-themed online drama "Undocumented Crime", exclusively produced by Feiyue Films and co-starred by Qin Hao, Deng Jiajia, Yao Lu, Dai Xu, Wang Zhener and others, was announced to be completed yesterday."

"The "Princess Agents" officially announced the start of casting, and the heroine is suspected to have been internally selected..."

"The TV series "The Pretender" has set a new record in ratings, and the total number of online broadcasts has reached 3 billion people, successfully becoming the only anti-Japanese spy drama in the top 10 of the half-year TV series online broadcast volume list, and ranked third!"

"The outdoor reality show "Extreme Challenge", which is controlled by Youku and invested by Feiyue Films and Guangguang, has reached the last episode and will be officially broadcast on September 20.

The current market share of this variety show is the highest in the entire network, and the online click and play data has surpassed the second season of "Running Man"..."

After taking a glance, Chen Fei found that the hot searches in the two major sections of TV series and variety shows were almost all linked to Feiyue Films.

Looking around, it seems that Feiyue Films has monopolized it.

If it were five years ago, this kind of "eating alone" behavior would definitely be besieged by other peers, but now, who dares to come up and tease the tiger's whiskers?

As long as Feiyue Films does not go public, it can guarantee that it will always be invincible!

…

The next day, when many stars, actors, artists, and singers set off for the Golden Rooster Awards to prepare for the upcoming awards ceremony, the news about Tangren Company suddenly became a hot search!

Following Hu Ge, Liu Shishi, and Lin Gengxin, another actor Jiang Jinfu announced his decision to terminate his contract with Tangren Pictures through Weibo.

For a time, the relationship between Cai Yinong and his artists once again became the focus of everyone's attention.

Looking around, Jiang Jinfu spoke frankly in his statement, admitting that there were many contradictions in the cooperation process with Tangren Pictures, and after careful consideration of his personal character and future development, he decided to terminate the contract with Tangren.

At the same time, he also said that he had the dream of independent development and hoped to set up his own studio, and expressed his desire to continue to cooperate with friends in the industry, including Tangren.

As for the specific matters of the termination of the contract, he has entrusted a lawyer to handle it, and he will no longer respond.

On the other hand, after Jiang Jinfu issued a statement, Tangren Pictures responded quickly, indicating that it had received the termination letter and had taken legal measures to hand the matter over to judicial procedures.

Before the court's verdict, Tangren issued a notice emphasizing that the contract with Jiang Jinfu was still valid, and called on peers in the industry to be cautious in this matter.

Cai Yinong even held a press conference in an emotional manner, expressing shock and disappointment at Jiang Jinfu's decision.

During the press conference, she recounted Tangren's investment and cultivation of Jiang Jinfu, accusing him of violating the spirit of the contract without communication and being tempted by the interests of a third party.

In her words, she revealed her strong dissatisfaction with Jiang Jinfu's behavior and her strong condemnation of the behavior of the third-party company.

Not surprisingly, this contract termination storm directly pushed Tangren Pictures to the forefront again.

A lot of netizens were like moths to a light, frantically pounced on it, and expressed their opinions and views:

"The company's former top brother Hu Ge and top sister Liu Shishi all terminated their contracts and left, Lin Gengxin was willing to sue to leave, and now it's Jiang Jinfu... I wonder, how does Cai Yinong run the company?"

"Tangren is completely ruined this time, all the actors have left, and there are not many resources. It will soon fall from the second line to the third line or below, right?"

"Anyway, I am not optimistic about the "Chinese Paladin 5" they are making. It's a group of young actors with no characteristics. It would be strange if it could succeed."

"The female actor who played with Hu Ge's feelings Jiang Shuying is also a contracted actor of Tangren, right? What kind of boss is what kind of actor! "

"Look at the termination of the contract between Feiyinghuang Agency and Wang Baoqiang. That is a textbook response. Look at Tangren, it is just a pile of stinky dog ​​shit."

"Fortunately, Hu Ge and Liu Shishi left early, and their development has become better and better after leaving the company. The latter was criticized by the whole network at the beginning, and now a "Sicario" has directly found a suitable development path."

...

Looking around, the netizens who eat melons on the Internet are almost all biased towards Jiang Jinfu, and there are only a handful of people who choose to stand on Cai Yinong's side.

The eyes of the masses are sharp, and they can still understand the truth of distinguishing right from wrong.

In addition, Tangren had too many tricks before, which directly led to the loss of a large number of hardcore fans.

In addition, Tangren has not made any achievements in the past few years, which has caused a large number of people to quit.

As it has evolved to this point, Cai Yinong has no popularity except for a large number of online trolls, and public opinion is not on her side at all.

To be honest, Chen Fei also admires her operation.

Previously, Cai Yinong brought the project book of "Chinese Paladin 5" to Dianjing Digital, saying that she wanted to cooperate in special effects.

The quotation has been given to her, and the letter of intent has been signed. She even took advantage of the popularity of Dianjing Digital when the show started filming.

But damn, there was no follow-up!

When it was their turn to pay, they pushed back and even proposed installment payment and even credit.

In the end, Su Guohai also saw through Cai Yinong's true face and directly withdrew the technicians of Dianjing Digital and ignored them.

When the money is transferred, the work will start, otherwise everyone will break up.

Now a month has passed, but Tangren still has no intention of paying. It is obvious that they are determined to take advantage of the popularity during the early publicity period.

Su Guohai did not indulge them, and directly put Tangren on the blacklist and stopped playing with them.

Cai Yinong went to the door several times in person, but he couldn't even get in the door. It was really embarrassing.
