Chapter 109 The Awesome Huang Xiaoming

The next day, Mr. Zhou’s house.

Shen Lang handed two large bundles of thick A4 paper to Huang Bin, Huang Xiaoming, Mr. Zhou, Sun Li, Li Xiaoran, and the specially invited Zhang Guoli and Zheng Xiaolong.

"The Legend of Zhen Huan, the Legend of Ruyi? Two?" Mr. Zhou looked at Shen Lang doubtfully.

Shen Lang sat down and picked up the apple on the table, wiped it and took a bite: "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace is for you. Didn't you say that you are too tired from filming the movie? I will give you the entire TV series to relax."

Mr. Zhou rolled his eyes: "It's even more tiring to film a TV series. You are so considerate of me. I'm a movie buff and you want me to film a TV series. What do you think?"

"Well, as long as you accept it, I will give you a salary of 10 million."

"How many???"

Everyone here was dumbfounded, 10 million? Are you kidding me?

Shen Lang raised his lips slightly: "It is estimated that this drama will take 70 to 80 episodes to complete, so 10 million is not much on average."

Zheng Xiaolong looked at the thick pile of Zhen Huan: "You probably have quite a few."

"It's about 70 to 80 episodes."

Zheng Xiaolong smiled bitterly: "Xiao Shen, you don't understand the circle of TV dramas. In the past few years, there were TV series with dozens or even hundreds of episodes. But to the audience, those TV series were like The old lady's foot binding is smelly and long. The leaders of the General Administration have issued a limit order of no more than 42 episodes. They encourage everyone to compress the plot and not make such a long drama. Of course, it can be made into a series, but the series must also comply with it. As a rule, every film must have a formal ending before filming can continue.”

"Director Zheng, I know that I invited you here today just to let you take a look and see if you are interested in this play. As for the series, there is no need for this play, and there is no follow-up plot. There are many characters and they are very complicated. This I started writing the play when I was a freshman, and it took me three years to complete it. Please take a look first.”

Zheng Xiaolong nodded and said nothing more, but he still refused in his heart. He came here today because Zhang Guoli and Shen Lang were both from the Beijing circle.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, my little dragon will fall into it as soon as he sees it.

The cigarettes were smoked one after another, and the whole house was like a chimney.

But no one else cared, they were all fascinated by the story written by Shen Lang.

Time flies, 3 hours passed.

Zheng Xiaolong shook his stiff neck and felt a little hungry.

"Uh, Mr. Zhou, do you have anything to eat at home? Let me get you some."

Mr. Zhou also woke up from Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace, which was so well written.

Then he looked at Shen Lang: "Shall we go out to eat?"

Shen Lang looked at Zheng Xiaolong: "Director Zheng, let's have something to eat first?"

Zheng Xiaolong looked at the script in his hand a little reluctantly, and once he got into the mood, he felt like he was forgetting to eat and sleep.

"How about you go get something to eat and bring me some when you come back. I'll continue watching."

Shen Lang raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Then I'll go get takeout. You guys will watch next. I'll go and order the food. Do you want to eat chili?"

Zhang Guoli stood up and said, "I'll go with you."

"I'll go too." Huang Xiaoming also stood up.

The three of them went out.

Zhang Guoli looks like Shen Lang: "Little Lang'er, as long as Old Zheng accepts your role, you can succeed. He never fights a battle that is uncertain. As long as you can get him to accept the role, all major domestic TV stations will sell it." Because of his reputation, the price will be much higher than that of ordinary directors, but I think he will take it.”

Huang Xiaoming rubbed his hands and put his arms around Shen Lang's shoulders and said happily: "Lang'er, it's up to you. If we can get Director Zheng in this movie, our company will become famous."

"Brother Xiao Ming, don't get too happy too soon, don't forget. We haven't got the money yet."

Huang Xiaoming said nonchalantly: "With Director Zheng here and your name, I also know a lot of investors. Money is not a problem. Good projects never lack investors."

"Then have you ever thought about what the king would think after this drama became popular and he knew about the three of us doing business together?"

"Uh..." This really stopped Huang Xiaoming from asking.

"Well, it seems to be nothing. My contract has almost expired. If it really becomes a hit, being my own boss will not be better than being a Chinese." Huang Xiaoming said nonchalantly.

Shen Lang raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "I'm afraid that you will be too involved and cannot get out. You have taken a lot of resources from the Chinese over the years, and the Chinese are not clean."

"Lang'er, you are thinking too much. I never do anything illegal. Over the years, I have a bottom line because I know what is most important to an artist in this circle, reputation, this thing You can’t smash it, otherwise you won’t be able to eat it.”

"You haven't been involved in the Yin-Yang contract and other things?"

"Basically no, even if there is, I will pay the taxes later. If you don't do anything bad, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door."

Shen Lang nodded: "Don't blame me for overthinking. Brother Xun is different from you. She is just a stick. She was hired into the company with a lot of money. She has been squeezed out like this, but you are pampered and favored by Chinese Americans."

Huang Xiaoming smiled: "Lang'er, are you guarding against me, or are you afraid that something will happen to me and will implicate you?"

Shen Lang rolled his eyes: "You're not talking nonsense. I'm just afraid of doing business with you. I'm just afraid of something happening. It's okay if it doesn't come out now. Once it comes out, it will be a disaster. Why don't I sign a long-term contract with a Chinese?" It’s not just because of this.”

"Isn't it because you want to start a new business and be your own boss?"

"Well... there is also this reason. Of course, I am still afraid of getting stuck in it."

"By the way, since you have ulterior motives, why does Wang Zhongjun still support you so much? I heard that you have 1.8 million internal shares, which is not worse than Feng Kuazi."

Huang Xiaoming raised his lips slightly: "Want to know?"

Shen Lang nodded: "I really don't understand."

"Then let me tell you, at the millennium, Sister Hua took the lead in bringing her "strong general" Li Lianhua to join Huayi, followed by Tong Dawei, Su Jin, Fan Xiaopang, Ren Quan, Teacher Chen, Hu Jun and others. Now you see these are big names, but in fact, they were just like that at the time - film companies rely on works!

Although there are many people, they don't seem to be very "powerful". But I am different. At that time, I was very popular with "Shanghai Beach" and "The Return of the Condor Heroes". No. And I have Brother Bin behind me. Another thing is that when I signed the contract, I didn't take the signing fee. I just had a meal with President Wang and then I joined the company. "

Shen Lang gave a thumbs up: "Others are paying a lot of money to buy horse bones, but you are asking others to become a good person."

Huang Xiaoming raised his mouth slightly: "At the beginning, Huayi's cash flow was not much, and Director Chen cheated him badly. To be honest, if I wanted to sign my brother, I would be unworthy of my reputation if I didn't take a few million signing fee, but I didn't take a penny."

"So Wang Zhongjun remembers this favor?"

Huang Xiaoming nodded: "President Wang is still a sentimental person. I have never embarrassed him over the years, so he won't embarrass me either."

Shen Lang couldn't help but sigh, Huang Xiaoming is really high-minded. Others make money in the present, but Huang Xiaoming accumulates connections and then slowly reaps the benefits.

The 1.8 million internal shares given by Wang Zhongjun alone are compensation for Huang Xiaoming's failure to collect the signing fee. If you are a decent person, others will remember your kindness.
