Chapter 124 Celebration Banquet

9days ago Celebrity fiction 8
Not every movie that has to be successful is that the box office exceeds the previous one. Even if the screen growth rate is taken, the difference between "Happy Day of Death" released in 2007 and "People on the Road" in 2008 is less than one year, so it can be basically ignored.

Just like the next thriller that Wu Hao is going to shoot, the investment will be smaller and the audience will be narrower. The box office may not necessarily exceed "People are on the road".》

Of course for "Wenchuan!》, Wu Hao had considerable expectations, after all, "Wenchuan!》 is original by Wu Hao, and it has a lot of investment and is also very attentive in the creation.

If Wu Hao is compared to a teacher, then "Shake Beach" and "Happy Death Day" are like his students. Although he hopes to succeed, he is not concerned about it.

"Wenchuan!》 is like a biological son, pouring all his efforts and expectations into his own efforts.

Wu Hao never cared about the movies released abroad because they were all bought out now, and it doesn’t matter how high the box office abroad is, so Wu Hao was handed over to Fang Ying for the problem of the movie being released abroad. He only reads the report, but "Wenchuan!》Wu Hao plans to take the movie to Cannes in person.

Moreover, Cannes is not just an award ceremony. As a film festival, it is also a film trading platform. Here, copyright can be sold to different countries, instead of selling all copyrights except China as soon as they were sold.

Of course, global copyright is definitely more valuable than selling it to a single country, but it cannot stand the number of countries you buy.

(I'm a little confused as to whether the sale is the screening rights or copyright.)

In short, Wu Hao no longer cared about it after the release of "People on the Road". Huayi made a lot of money with Wu Hao this time. Moreover, as a Huayi artist, Huayi also held a celebration banquet. Wu Hao must attend as a director, even if the fairy sword crew is busy.

There is nothing I can do about this. I wanted to release "The Man in the Road" in July, so I would not have a conflict with him in filming "The Sword of the Immortals III". Unexpectedly, it was postponed to release in October, so Wu Hao had to ask for leave to deal with the matter of "The Man in the Road".

Fortunately, this celebration banquet was held in Hangzhou, which saved Wu Hao from running back and forth, which gave him enough face, which was also the reason why he was difficult to refuse.

In fact, he didn't want to participate, because except for Angelababy and Li Bingbing, Wu Hao didn't have a single female artist who was interested in.

The only men are Wang Baoqiang and Zhang Hanyu, but Wu Hao knows that these artists will not be allowed to leave Huayi, unless the contract is reached by the other person who voluntarily chooses Wu Hao's company, of course, it is another matter to have to pay the liquidated damages.

So Wu Hao has only one goal, which is Li Bingbing's sister Li Xue. Now she is still Li Bingbing's agent in Huayi, which is much easier than if she becomes a senior executive in the future.

Of course, this is not the first time he wants to poach Li Xue, but the other party has never agreed.

Although I know that Li Xue may not agree this time, it is always right to have more contact.

There are many reasons for digging Li Xue. She and Li Bingbing are sisters, they look pretty good, and the most important thing is that they are also very capable.

After Wu Hao arrived at the banquet venue, Wang Zhongjun was very happy to see him and came to greet Wu Hao in person: Director Wu, thank you for coming, we are waiting for you.Come on, let me introduce you to Mr. Chen...

Of course Wang Zhongjun was happy. He only invested 1.5 million, but earned 12 million, which was ten times more. This was not counted as the income from the issuance. In short, Wang Zhongjun was quite proud. The prince around him was not only the prince in the entertainment industry, but also a chicken who could lay golden eggs. Wang Zhongjun was extremely glad that he had already established a good relationship with Wu Hao.

Wu Hao rarely participates in social interactions, and it is difficult for both artists and businessmen who want to invest. Now, this time, those who know that he is coming to attend the celebration banquet. Even if many artists who are not Huayi want to come, Huayi will give them this opportunity, but those bosses can still let them come.

So as soon as Wu Hao appeared, Wang Zhongjun took him to meet various bosses.

However, Wu Hao was just dealing with it. He was not short of money and could immediately set up his own distribution channel and theater chain.

So some investments in the circle are acceptable, but those outside the circle will definitely not accept them.

These bosses have no choice. After all, Huayi is also from the Beijing circle, so the merchants here are either from the Beijing circle or are related to the Beijing circle. The matters about Wu Hao and Liu Yifei have been spread all over the Beijing circle, and they also know the relationship between Wu Hao and the top yamen. These people are just deliberately trying to please and dare not offend them at all.

After dealing with these businessmen, Wang Zhongjun took him to meet some Huayi artists. He was quite friendly to Wu Hao in the circle and would not refuse directly, but it is hard to say whether he can cooperate in the future.

Finally, after rejecting Wang Zhongjun's speech on the stage, Wu Hao came back free.

This time, Angelababy came with Huang Xiaoming, so she didn't have the same relationship with Wu Hao, and she didn't have the intention to pull Huang Xiaoming to get close to Wu Hao. The two basically just said hello and stopped contacting each other.

Wu Hao also sent her a text message quietly, not knowing whether she didn't bring her cell phone or why. Anyway, she didn't reply to Wu Hao, so Wu Hao put Angelababy behind her.

He glanced at the field again and headed straight for Li Xue.

Of course, Li Xue saw Wu Hao coming. This was not the first time Wu Hao invited her. Li Xue was still very grateful to Wu Hao for his value.

But there are many reasons why Li Xue refused to agree. First of all, her sister belongs to Huayi, and now she is almost the number one sister, and there is only Zhou Xun on it.

What if she leaves her sister?

Should I go to Wu Hao together, or would I let Li Bingbing stay in Huayi alone?

She also wants to help her sister compete for the position of No. 1 sister, how could she be willing to leave her sister alone?

Secondly, Wu Hao's company is just a small one, with only one film production studio, and only two or three artists. She didn't know that Liu Yifei had signed a contract with Wu Hao's company.

Although Wu Hao's background is against the sky, people in the circle have learned that Wu Hao is very rules-oriented after a long period of understanding, so Li Xue doesn't think Wu Hao can play with old foxes such as Wang Zhongjun.

As for Wu Hao, how can he make movies? Will Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou make movies?

Which one is worse than Wu Hao?

Not signing someone else's company right now.

Wu Hao’s ability to pay no attention to him depends on his identity.

Moreover, although the movies Wu Hao made are very profitable, they are all small costs and cannot prove Wu Hao's ability.

In short, for this reason, Li Xue is not optimistic about Wu Hao's future, or she thinks that Wu Hao is just like this and will not develop into a large company like Huayi, so she is unwilling to go to Wu Hao's company.

But Li Xue still admires Wu Hao, who is polite, handsome and talented.

So when Wu Hao came over, Li Xue still greeted him sincerely: Director Wu, long time no see, congratulations, another movie has succeeded.

Wu Hao toasted Li Xue with a glass of wine and said with a smile: Thank you, Sister Xue, why didn’t you see Sister Bingbing?

Li Xue smiled and said: Sister Bingbing is filming. Why? It’s useless to persuade me. Are you planning to save the country on the verge of success?

Wu Hao nodded jokingly: That’s right, Ah, I signed Sister Bingbing, didn’t Sister Xue come naturally?

Li Xue gave Wu Hao a blank look and said: My sister is now the number one sister in Huayi. Is Director Wu willing to pay the liquidated damages?

Wu Hao shook his head: This is not a problem of liquidated damages, but it is a bit offensive to poach people like this. It is not my style, but I know that Sister Bingbing’s contract will expire next year.I just hope Sister Xue will give me a chance. After the contract is over next year, I will not sign the contract for the time being and give me a chance to prove my strength. If my strength makes you satisfied, you will sign the contract with my company. If I am not satisfied, I will never force it. How about it?

Li Xue thought for a while, looked at Wu Hao and said seriously: OK, but it will only last until June at most, and I will give you half a year.

Wu Hao nodded with a smile and agreed.

Then the two chatted for a while, until Wang Zhongjun found Wu Hao again. When he saw the two chatting happily, he joked: Did Director Wu like us Li Xue or Li Bingbing?

Wu Hao also smiled and said: Of course, both of them are in love with each other. I am just about to dig them into my company.

After hearing Wu Hao's words, Wang Zhongjun didn't know whether he was joking or telling the truth, so he looked at Li Xue.

Li Xue did not hide it, and nodded to indicate that what Wu Hao said was true.

Wang Zhongjun was stunned for a moment when he saw this, but he just thought and laughed for a while.

Said: If Director Wu looks at Li Bingbing, he should follow the rules.

His meaning was obviously that he agreed to let Li Bingbing go, just to pay some penalty for liquidated damages. As for the amount of the penalty, maybe for Wu Hao's sake, Wang Zhongjun would only collect some symbolically.

Wu Hao and Li Xue were also stunned when they heard Wang Zhongjun's words.

Wu Hao thought that Wang Zhongjun didn't mind his poaching at all, so he agreed so generously.

Li Xue was thinking that Wang Zhongjun was not looking at their sisters like this. Li Bingbing was also the female artist with the highest paid pay in Huayi. She didn't expect to let it go if she said it.

In fact, this is also the heights Li Xue and Wang Zhongjun are at different levels, and the perspectives of looking at problems are also different.

In Wang Zhongjun's eyes, the company's development is the most important. Selling Wu Hao's favor is selling radio and television and a favor. There is nothing more cost-effective than giving up an artist and letting the official owe favors.

In Li Xue's eyes, it is the environment and future she lives in. It is obvious that Huayi is more promising now than Wu Hao's company. It would be fine if Li Bingbing was just a little artist, but Li Bingbing's status in Huayi is not low now, so Li Xue did not consider Huayi starting again immediately.
