Chapter 489 Vice Chairman Liu Shishi of Tangren Film and Television

In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Wei Yang wanted Liu Shishi to film "The Witch", otherwise he would be too full to make an action drama with a female protagonist.

However, Lao Cai's worries are not unreasonable. The risks of a subject like "The Witch" are too high.

Even now, people including Mr. Zhou and Fan Xiaopang dare not say how high their box office appeal is. In the film market, female stars are at a very obvious disadvantage.

There are very few chick flicks that can take advantage of the popularity and popularity of the actresses and achieve the goal of carrying the box office.

Nowadays, action movies are not even popular, let alone female-led action movies, which are the least popular.

Not to mention that although Liu Shishi has a good reputation for acting, he is not a professional action actor. In addition to the support of fans, the most important ordinary audiences and movie fan groups may not buy it easily.

The investment for this movie is expected to be quite high. If it is crowned as Liu Shishi's film debut, there will be too many people inside and outside the industry to watch.

In the past few years, Liu Shishi has been extremely prosperous and his career has been rising steadily, but he has also offended a lot of people.

There are many people who are willing to watch her do a somersault!

Once the rhythm picks up, not even Wei Yang can protect her, because the people who most want to see Liu Shishi overturn are Zhao Liying and Fan Xiaopang. I am afraid that her good sisters Tang Yan and Damimi will also have ambiguous attitudes. Even Wei Yang It can help it defend against open and hidden arrows from outside, but backstabbing from inside is no joke.

So Wei Yang's idea is to be conservative first, be steady when filming "Xiu Chun Dao 2", and also test everyone's opinions on her action scenes.

If the results are good and the reputation is good, he can take advantage of the opportunity to shoot "The Witch". Anyway, he has the script in his hands. It will only happen sooner or later, so there is no need to worry.

Wei Yang is also an actor, and he understands that actors need passion and personal identity when filming.

Only if you like a certain script and a certain role can you perform well and be in good condition. If you are only moderately interested in the script and the role, then you will get twice the result with half the effort when filming.

If you don’t have a choice, just do it. If you have a choice, try to take photos that you like.

As soon as Wei Yang spoke, the matter was basically settled.

Although Lao Cai felt that the drama "Xiu Chun Dao 2" could not particularly highlight Liu Shishi, she would rather make it a one-shot. But having said that, when an actor is filming, the most important thing is to be brilliant, and the cast is secondary.

Even if it is a movie with a leading female protagonist, no matter how many scenes there are, if the movie is not powerful, it will be in vain.

With Liu Shishi's fame and status, there is no need to pursue a role. Even if she plays a supporting role, no one dares to underestimate her.

Liu Shishi personally likes "Xiu Chun Dao 2", and Wei Yang is also more optimistic. Lao Cai has reservations about the former's opinions and attaches great importance to the latter's opinions.

Not only Boss Wei’s status and strength, but also his well-known precise vision in the industry.

The projects he is optimistic about will be successful nine times out of ten!

Listening to Wei Yang's analysis of "Xiu Chun Dao 2", Lao Cai silently raised the importance of this movie by two levels.

"What about "Get Out, Mr. Tumor"?"

Lao Cai was still a little unwilling. Wei Yang smiled and said, "The only choice is to change people. The director originally wanted to shoot it last year, and I have been holding on to it. I can't keep him waiting."

Although Han Yan is a new director, he has made films before, so he can still be considered a rising star.

Wei Yang is willing to invest and can ask the other party to postpone the project, but he cannot keep pressing, otherwise he is likely to find another sponsor. Blue Whale is not the only one who is interested in this book.

"Then who are you going to cast?"

Liu Shishi, who was standing next to him, suddenly asked. Wei Yang felt a bit of murderous intent and swallowed the words in his heart.

"It depends on what the director and producer want. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have anything to do with this project."

Since it's a chick flick and the shooting isn't that difficult, I definitely gave priority to my family.

Even if their box office appeal is not as good as that of Bai Baihe, their popularity will not be much different in terms of promotion and distribution.

As for who to choose in the end, Wei Yang was not sure, but as long as it was those few people, Liu Shishi was definitely not what Liu Shishi wanted to see, so Wei Yang directly picked himself out, and it would be the director and producer's fault later. .

Liu Shishi said nothing, but Lao Cai heard Wei Yang's subtext and looked at him with contempt.

Scumbag!

I’m not trashing you!

Wei Yang showed no weakness and felt guilty in front of Liu Shishi, but that didn't mean he would accept other people's criticism of him from the moral high ground.

Is it true that Boss Wei has a good temper? !

After reluctantly allowing Tang Ren and others to have a meal, Lao Cai wanted to stay for a while, but was driven away by Boss Wei in a strange manner.

A breakup is better than a wedding. They haven't seen each other for more than a month. Why are you being a lightbulb here?

As soon as the annoying person left, Wei Yang wanted to take Liu Shishi to take a mandarin duck bath, but she stopped her, slapped the offending hand off her body, and forced herself to be serious.

"Wait, let me tell you something serious."

"I can't wait any longer. This is my business!"

Wei Yang was confident. Liu Shishi was at home today, wearing a brown-red knitted dress. It not only fit her body well, but also made her skin look white. With her pure and gentle appearance, she was particularly attractive.

Maybe it was because they had been separated for a long time, or maybe it was because they secretly went to the bedroom to eat some nourishing dishes, but Boss Wei was in such a good mood now that he didn't care about anything else.

"Wait a moment."

He made Liu Shishi anxious and pinched him a few times before he got Boss Wei to be honest.

After taking a few breaths, Liu Shishi was afraid that Wei Yang wouldn't be able to bear it for long, so he hurriedly told the matter.

"Lao Cai came to discuss with me and planned to let me invest in Tangren."

When Wei Yang heard this, he calmed down for a moment: "She hasn't given up on going public yet?"

Lao Cai has always wanted to run Tangren to go public. He had made many moves before and even attracted financing from capital institutions, but the progress was not smooth.

I heard before that Tangren had considered suspending its listing plan, but now that Lao Cai was acting like a celebrity shareholder, Wei Yang immediately saw that she was not yet resigned.

The reason is very simple. The purpose of giving or selling artist shares is to bind and attract artists. The number will not be too large. Such a small number of shares has no actual rights. It is difficult to cash out without listing, and it is like useless.

Therefore, Tang Ren wants to use shares to attract a few leading artists, not only to give them shares, but also to let them see the hope of going public and cashing out.

"Lao Cai, who went public, did say that, but this time, she not only wanted me to invest in the company, but also wanted me to become an important shareholder."

Wei Yang raised his eyebrows and asked why Liu Shishi had such a serious discussion with him about buying a stake in Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty wanted to find Liu Shishi to invest in the stock. This has been said for a long time, even before Hu Ge, the first brother of the Tang Dynasty. Now that Hu Ge is a shareholder of Tangren, Liu Shishi has not made any move, mainly because he has little interest.

She had discussed with Wei Yang before that the development of the Tang Dynasty was not going smoothly, and she was becoming more and more popular, and some small temples could not afford to worship the big Buddha.

With Liu Shishi's current situation, she could open her own studio. With Wei Yang here, her resources would be indispensable. If she really became a shareholder of Tangren, she would not be able to lose her favor by turning around and leaving.

So when Lao Cai invited him several times, Liu Shishi made excuses to decline, and made up his mind to leave Tangren when his contract expired in 2016.

Maybe many people think that Liu Shishi is stupid to do this. After all, she is the first sister of the company and has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. She is eligible to take shares. It doesn't matter if we stay together or not.

But Liu Shishi felt that he was not short of the money, and would rather suffer a small loss. There was no interest between the two parties, and he could simply leave later.

But now he suddenly changed his tone. Based on Wei Yang's understanding of Liu Shishi, it was probably Lao Cai who had a lot of influence in this.

According to Liu Shishi, becoming an important shareholder of Tang Dynasty is not something that can be casually passed away with a few tenths of a percent or single-digit shares. It completely goes against the normal entertainment company's wooing and binding. Artist's operations.

Therefore, in Wei Yang's view, Lao Cai persuaded Liu Shishi to take shares this time, rather than binding star shareholders, it is better to say that Lao Cai wanted to raise funds from Liu Shishi.

A more accurate statement is that Liu Shishi obtained financing and resource support from Wei Yang.

Liu Shishi's own small treasury is quite large, and it is estimated that it can handle the financing funds, but financing is not just funds, but the various resources behind it are the key. These Liu Shishi does not have, but Wei Yang does not lack.

Once Liu Shishi becomes a shareholder of the Tang Dynasty, Wei Yang will provide some help even if it is for Liu Shishi.

Lao Cai's plan is so clever!

It turned out that Wei Yang intended to invest in the Tang Dynasty, but she stopped him, mainly because she was worried about attracting wolves into the house and being annexed by Wei Yang.

Later, Boss Wei had PPTV and became a platform party, so the possibility of annexation was reduced. Tang Ren wanted to ask for investment, but Wei Yang already had several film and television companies such as Blue Whale, Noon Sunshine, Bingyang, and Mixing. The Tang people on the downhill road were not very interested.

Therefore, Lao Cai began to take a roundabout route, attracting Liu Shishi to become an important shareholder, thereby obtaining financial resources from Wei Yang.

I'm "working" to save a dowry for your wife, so you can't just stand by and watch!

And compared to Wei Yang, Lao Cai believed in Liu Shishi's character.

Boss Wei may not be ungrateful, but as a mature businessman, he is not lacking in decisiveness. If Lao Cai does not do well, Wei Yang cannot sit back and watch his own interests be damaged. Even if he does not drive her out, he will take some measures.

But Liu Shishi obviously wouldn't do this. Even if Wei Yang wanted to intervene, she would help stop him. Such behaviors as annexing and seizing power did not exist in her case.

So the more Lao Cai thought about it, the more he felt that Liu Shishi was suitable to be an important shareholder of Tangren, and he wanted to bring her into the company.

It's just that Liu Shishi had already made up his mind to leave, and despite what Lao Cai said, he was too lazy to pay attention to these mundane things, but now he suddenly relaxed...

Wei Yang stared at Liu Shishi, making the latter blush and heartbeat, feeling guilty.

"What are you looking at me doing?"

"If you hold this share in your hands and put it aside whether you want to lose money or not, Lao Cai will trouble you less in the future. Aren't you most afraid of this kind of trouble?"

"Other people find it troublesome, but Lao Cai is my boss and nobleman. Without her, I wouldn't be where I am today. A drop of kindness is repaid by a spring. No matter how troublesome I am, I have to help."

Liu Shishi's explanation was clear and logical, but Wei Yang still saw the unnaturalness in his tone.

I'm afraid Liu Shishi changed his mind because he was stimulated by Zhao Liying!

Wei Yang knew well that last year's breakup had greatly stimulated Liu Shishi, not to mention that after that, Zhao Liying's crazy rise and strong momentum caused Liu Shishi's psychological fluctuations.

In particular, Wei Yang's move to appoint Zhao Liying as the deputy director of the TV Department had particularly prominent implications and had a profound impact, not to mention that both Damimi and Fan Xiaopang also started their own businesses.

Suddenly, like a spring breeze coming overnight, everyone is swept into a new track!

One by one, actors and actresses have not only achieved success as artists, but have also begun to work in the direction of capital. Liu Shishi has always been a Buddhist, but he did not stabilize his mentality this time.

After repeated stimulation, Liu Shishi felt that he could not remain passively defensive and had to do something.

But without his two good girlfriends as advisors, Liu Shishi couldn't make up his mind about what to do. At this time, Lao Cai took advantage of the situation.

Isn't it just being a senior executive and starting a company? We can do that too!

If you believe me, just invest in Tangren. I am the chairman, you are the vice chairman, I manage, you film, and we two sisters join hands to make it bigger and stronger, create greater glory, and beat those little bitches.

Liu Shishi is not stupid. She knows that Lao Cai has his own little ideas, but she does also feel that this is an opportunity.

She knows her character well. Being an artist is okay, but managing or starting a business is too difficult. If she wants to achieve success in this area, cooperating with others is a good way.

Although Tangren is in decline now, its heritage is still there. It is still a well-known film and television company, and Lao Cai is also capable. She helps with money and efforts. Tangren may not be able to sprout new buds from the old tree, helping her to overpower others.

After all, it is your own fault!

Wei Yang looked at Liu Shishi who was looking at him eagerly, and finally nodded: "It's not impossible to become a shareholder..."

Before she could be happy, Wei Yang's next words came: "However, there are a few conditions."

"You said."

Liu Shishi was very happy. She understood that it was easy to talk about investing in Tangren, but if Tangren really wanted to develop, it had to rely on Boss Wei. There is no free lunch in the world, and demands are inevitable.

"First of all, your shares cannot be less than a certain percentage. It is best to be a major shareholder. I am not a charity. I am here to help. Your interests must be guaranteed."

It must be clear that Wei Yang helped Liu Shishi, not Tang Ren. No matter how much Liu Shishi took, the meat would rot in the pot, but it was different for others.

"Second, you can't be a hands-off shopkeeper. Later I will introduce you to a senior executive who will become your spokesperson in Tangren."

It is essential to be on guard against others, and public and private matters must be distinguished. Wei Yang believes in Lao Cai, but necessary measures must be taken.

"Thirdly, I hope that Lao Cai's husband will leave Tangren. He can't get involved in the entertainment industry. Only Tangren, which is run by Lao Cai himself, has investment value."

One of the main reasons for the Tang Dynasty's loneliness in the later period was also the change of the head. Lao Cai retreated to the second line, and his husband took over, and then the Tang Dynasty declined all the way.

Wei Yang didn't know if there was any other inside story here, but the apparent situation also made him very unsure of his abilities.

If Lao Cai wants to retire in a hurry, he should make it clear in advance that there is no need to waste time.

Liu Shishi thought about it and realized that it was a normal request, and he readily agreed: "I will negotiate with Lao Cai."

Wei Yang nodded, then showed a smirk, and picked him up: "Fourth, Vice President Liu has to sacrifice himself and sleep with me..."
