Huayu: Female celebrities are looking for treasures in me

Chapter 160: What a great alliance! Become the big winner
"Yes, everything I do is for you."

Zhang Li admitted it without hesitation, his eyes serious.

"After all, you are my Yifei."

Lying on the same bed, Zhang Li said whatever he wanted to say.

Liu Yifei certainly understood that Zhang Li did so many things not just for her to get a female lead, but she still felt very sweet when she heard his words.

At this time, it is natural to listen to what you want to hear first.

"Then I must reward you."

"Whatever position you want today, I will accompany you to the end."

Zhang Li: “!”

This really motivated him to work hard.

That night, Zhang Li did not practice Taoism.

Liu Yifei said any way of playing is fine.

He had a little taste of the devil.

"魔" was first seen in the small seal script of "Shuowen Jiezi" and began to appear along with the translation of Buddhist scriptures in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Its original meaning is the abbreviation of the Sanskrit word "Mara".

It is extended to refer to demons, monsters, and later also to evil people or forces.

Monsters can easily arouse people's curiosity, so it is also extended to mean magical, being obsessed with something, etc.

Immortals are pure and high above, while demons lead people to ruin.

The joy here cannot be told to outsiders.

Early the next morning.

After covering Liu Yifei with a blanket, Zhang Li went to the balcony and lit a cigarette.

He usually doesn't smoke, after all, it is harmful to health. If he wants to help the country build an aircraft carrier, all he needs to do is pay the "taxes that should be paid."

When the technology matures, the cost of building an aircraft carrier (Fuzhou is the most profitable) will be around 50 billion yuan.

If I earn hundreds of billions in my lifetime, the taxes I pay will be enough to build at least one.

A good body is more important.

The reason I smoke is just to find the feeling.

"boss."

Not long after, Qin Nanshan called Zhang Li.

"How is it? Has the information been released?" Zhang Li asked.

"It has been released. The information has been released."

"Everyone in the industry who's more informed should know that Zhou Xun and Li Bingbing will leave Huayi after their contracts expire, and sign with Rong Xinda and..."

Qin Nanshan told her the consequences of what Zhang Li had asked her to do last night in cooperation with Xiaoyu.

Announcing that Zhou Xun and Li Bingbing will no longer renew their contracts with Huayi is naturally a two-pronged approach.

There are a lot of things going on within Huayi right now, and it is still being targeted by Wang Jinghua and others.

Knowing that Zhou Xun and Li Bingbing are planning to leave, can other entertainment companies resist interfering?
The reason for not taking action before was, on the one hand, the fear of becoming hostile to Huayi, and on the other hand, the fear of not being able to poach people, weighing the pros and cons.

Huayi is in a bad situation now, and it is confirmed that Zhou Xun and Li Bingbing are thinking of leaving. No one in the film and television industry with a certain status can help it.

After all, both women are mature first-line actresses. Not only do they have their own connections in the circle, but they have also gone international.

It is no exaggeration to say that when signing such an artist, the company only plays a supporting role and the relationship is one of equal cooperation.

Once these people leave, it will naturally put greater pressure on Huayi.

Since Li Bingbing and Zhou Xun are planning to leave, how can Huayi be willing to continue to provide them with resources?

"Book me a room at XX Teahouse. I want to meet Li Guofu."

The first step was a complete success, and Zhang Li prepared to start the second step.

After returning to the bathroom and washing up quickly, Zhang Li changed his clothes and left.

As for Liu Yifei, she definitely won't wake up before noon, so it would be better for her to have afternoon tea directly after waking up.

At the same time, inside the Huayi Company in the imperial capital, President Wang's eyes were bloodshot as he looked at the documents passed to him and became so angry that his mind exploded.

When his younger brother's negative information was exposed, he rushed abroad to calm down for a while, and the way he calmed down turned out to be gambling.

If you want to gamble, just gamble. It’s nothing to lose a few hundred or tens of millions of pocket money, but that idiot was set up and lost hundreds of millions.

Huayi had just suffered heavy losses from "The Forbidden Kingdom" and only got a break through the accumulation of profits from several movies, especially "If You Are the One".

So, when Xiao Wang wanted to ban Liu Yifei, he expressed his support.

So, when working with Zhang Li, he did not refuse because of his relationship with Liu Yifei.

And now, that idiot has lost hundreds of millions of dollars, and several of the funds intended for investment have been misappropriated.

If that were all, he would have plenty of solutions.

As a result, there were cases of defections and leaks within Huayi again.

When he was purging those with problems within the organization, he was sniped by Wang Jinghua and others.

Another batch of backbones from various departments were poached, which made him want to vomit blood.

And now, he learned that Zhou Xun and Li Bingbing were leaving.

"The wings have hardened and I can't keep them."

"If we break off relations with them and become enemies, it will only bring disaster upon Huayi."

"They have to wait until Huayi gets back on its feet, and the resources they get outside are not good enough, so they realize that children cannot survive without their parents!"

This is the only way the king can comfort himself.

But he knew in his heart that Huayi would be tempted by more companies.

If Zhou Xun and Li Bingbing both left, the situation would become even worse.

He also knew that Huang Xiaoming and Deng Chao also wanted to leave.

But Xiao Wang had some negative information about Huang Xiaoming, so even though he was wealthy and had a company, he didn't dare leave.

Deng Chao and Xiao Gangpao had a conflict, so leaving was inevitable.

"We must find a way out!" President Wang tightly grasped the document in his hand and didn't even notice it when he tore off a corner.

"Director Li, please have some tea."

Zhang Li personally made tea and filled Li Guofu's cup.

The latter picked up the teacup, blew on it gently, and suddenly asked, "Did you reveal the news about Zhou Xun and Li Bingbing?"

"Why would Director Chen think that?" Zhang Li smiled a perfectly appropriate bitter smile and shook his head, saying, "In this matter, I can only say that I was lucky."

"If I really had this handle, I wouldn't have had to talk to Brother Hua about all that yesterday."

Chen Guofu looked at Zhang Li seriously, but couldn't find any flaws on his face.

So, is this really a coincidence?
Come to think of it, if Zhang Li had this leverage, he would have released the information long ago.

As long as there is a rift between Zhou Xun, Li Bingbing and Huayi, the role of the female lead in "Detective Dee: The Mystery of the Phantom Flame" will naturally not be theirs.

He would be suspicious, but he just thought it was too coincidental.

"My method is 'If You Are the One 2'." Zhang Li smiled faintly, took out a script and nodded.

"Huayi and Director Feng have been urging me to write the script for the second season."

"I originally thought of waiting until the Chinese New Year, but now I'm willing to trade it."

"I have the copyright to the script and extended works of If You Are the One. Huayi only has the film copyright to If You Are the One 1. They cannot film a 2nd part without my authorization."

"I'm willing to give up 2 now, but I just want Huayi to give up some of their investment in Tongtian Empire and let Sister Yifei play the female lead. Is that okay?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Guofu believed it completely.

He really knew how much Feng Xiaogang and Huayi wanted "If You Are the One 2", which was a golden goose.

"You have put up such a bargaining chip, why did you ask Huazi yesterday whether he was willing to invest in Tongtian Empire?" Chen Guofu was a little confused again.

If Zhang Li took "If You Are the One 2" to negotiate with Huayi, it would not be difficult to ask Wang Daxiao and Wang Xiao to give Liu Yifei the female lead.

"Director Chen, your question is a bit naive." Zhang Li took a sip of tea. "If I trade 'If You Are the One 2' with Huayi, how much investment do you think I can still get in this project?"

Chen Guofu: “.”

Well, he was indeed stupid.

If Zhang Li were to negotiate with Huayi with "If You Are the One 2", then this script would be the bargaining chip.

Huayi promised not to ban Liu Yifei and give her a role, so naturally Zhang Li had to offer some bargaining chips.

By then, the investment share you can take will be reduced and the money you can earn will also be less.

The money earned from investing in movies is definitely more valuable than having Liu Yifei play a leading female role.

No matter how much Zhang Li likes Liu Yifei, he would not sacrifice the car to save the king, or throw away the watermelon to pick up sesame seeds!

"Huayi is in a bad situation right now and needs a project that everyone thinks is excellent."

“‘If You Are the One 2’ is this project.”

“But investing in this project requires another sum of money.

"The pre-production for Detective Dee: The Mystery of the Phantom Flame has already concluded and filming is about to begin. We can't possibly stop it now."

"So, we'll take out a portion of the investment and add another portion to make If You Are the One 2."

"Letting Andy in is just a fig leaf for Huayi, and using Sister Yifei is not a complete slap in the face."

"At the same time, I also made friends with Hua Zai."

"All this is necessary, don't you think?"

Chen Guofu:!

Looking at Zhang Li's faint smile, he felt a chill on his back.

It turned out that Zhang Li was waiting here.

Indeed, given Huayi’s current situation, it is absolutely impossible to expel both the party and the public servants.

But the filming of "The Empire of Heaven" had already been in the early stages of preparation last night, and Chen Guofu would not allow it to be stopped.
And "If You Are the One 2" is another piece of cake that Huayi has been eyeing for a long time. It is a hot commodity that can bring benefits to Huayi and it is impossible for Huayi to let it go.

Therefore, Huayi can only give up some interests on both sides in exchange for opportunities.

But if Huayi wants Zhang Li to hand over the script, it must show some sincerity, right?
This takes everything into account. !
Add to that the "east wind" that Zhou Xun and Li Bingbing were about to leave.
"Director Chen, please read the script."

"Make an assessment and tell Mr. Wang whether we can invest."

Zhang Li smiled and held up three fingers: "This time, I want a 30% investment share."

As for Liu Yifei's role, it's insignificant!

The investment in If You Are the One 2 is about million.

However, by relying on advertising placement, the investment can basically be recovered, which is equivalent to an investment of less than 10 million.

This is also the reason why Huayi has been keeping an eye on "If You Are the One 2". This project is a sure win.

If Huayi wasn't such a huge mountain to overcome and Feng Xiaogang was a Huayi employee, Zhang Li would have wanted to play on his own.

So, if you can earn more, you must earn more.

"I'll give President Wang a call."

Chen Guofu spent more than an hour watching the optimized version of Zhang Li in "If You Are the One 2".

In his opinion, the power of this book is no less than that of If You Are the One 1.

With the previous work as a foundation, there is a high possibility that the box office will exceed 400 million.

"please!"

Zhang Li made a gesture.

Chen Guofu took out his cell phone and called Mr. Wang.

The whole process only takes five minutes.

"Old Chen, is the script finalized?"

"It's no longer inferior to If You Are the One 1. If the original cast works together, the quality won't be a problem."

"Okay, promise Zhang Li!"

The king's eyes are bright.

This is the breakthrough point he was looking for!
