Du Caige's sharp eyes immediately fell on him.
Tang Yezhi smiled: "I don't smoke, I just smell it."
After a pause, he asked, "You came to me today because you wanted to talk about Xiao Jiang. Why haven't you gotten to the point?"
"That's a trivial matter, don't worry."
"Small matter? Damn, Xiao Jiang is now a first-line star after all. The affiliation of Huayu Entertainment's No. [-] artist, you who are paralyzed, tell me it's a small matter?" Tang Yezhi was so angry that he laughed, and the fat on his chin twitched shake.
Du Caige raised his sword-like eyebrows, "How big can this matter be? We'll have a chat and make arrangements later."
Tang Yezhi chuckled and put the cigarette in his mouth. Although he didn't light it, he still took a few puffs.
This action reminded Du Caige of Wu Mengda's performance in "Fight Back to School", taking a piece of bamboo to suck out the smoke.
I couldn't help laughing when I thought about it.
Tang Yezhi smiled and said, "Laugh at your sister. You can talk to Mr. Li. I'm just the deputy director of the music business department. I can't do what I say."
"Brother Tang, you are right!" Although Li Xiaoqiong is not young, she still has a bit of charm when she is coquettish. "At the beginning, the boss said that even if it is the position of general manager, you can sit. It is you who don't want to take care of things. A title in the music business department. Which one of us dares to take care of what you say and do, and which one of us dares to treat you as a subordinate?"
"You can make up your own mind about Xiao Jiang's matter. I just came here today to chat with Mr. Hemingway."
Li Xiaoqiong's attitude was so low, Tang Yezhi was very helpful, he laughed.
"Brother, what do you say, I know Xiao Jiang wants to go with you, and our Huayu is not the kind of impersonal company, so we will definitely not embarrass him."
Du Caige shook his head and smiled, "You've said that, I'm still ashamed to take advantage of your company? How about this, Xiao Jiang's contract has 6 years left, right? His liquidated damages are 5000 million?"
"That's right now."
Du Caige understood what he meant, "This is the case now", but it will definitely be different if the contract is renewed. ,
The contract renewal is a sure thing.
Jiang Youxi was only a small star in the fourth and fifth tiers before, but now he is rushing to a position close to the first-tier stars, the contract must be different.
Chapter 399
"How about this, you guys renew the contract with him, and the new contract is only signed for 2 years, or 2+2. You can figure out the rest of the terms. Liquidated damages, let's say 15 billion. After one and a half years, I will pay the liquidated damages to dig Him." Du Caige gave the conditions.
This amount was calculated repeatedly by him.
In his last life, he worked in the entertainment industry for several years, and he still has a certain understanding of liquidated damages for first-line stars.
One hundred million less, three or four hundred million more.
What seven or eight billion, one billion, that is bluffing.
On Azure Star's side, 15 billion Dahua Yuan is equivalent to more than 4 million, close to 5 million soft sister coins. This liquidated damages is worthy of Jiang Youxi's worth, and it is not too high.
The higher part is compensation for Arima Entertainment.
With Jiang Youxi's current 4-year contract, if Huayu Entertainment is determined to make money from him, it will not be difficult to earn back 4 million in 4 years.
It's just that Huayu Entertainment is a humane company, so it won't do this.
At the beginning, Jiang Youxi wanted to concentrate on training and improving, but he didn't accept commercial performances or run announcements, Huayu Entertainment also tolerated him.
So even if Du Caige wanted to poach Jiang Youxi away, he still had to take care of this little love.
Although now he can poach Jiang Youxi away with only 5000 million yuan, but this would be too offending, and it will also make it difficult for Jiang Youxi to face Huayu Entertainment in the future.
And the reason why he promised to dig Jiang Youxi again after one and a half years is to let Huayu Entertainment make some money.
After all, Arima Entertainment spent so much money on cultivating Jiang Youxi—although it didn't spend much on Jiang Youxi.
But it was only among dozens or hundreds of trainees that Jiang Youxi was able to make a lot of money.
The money spent on training dozens or hundreds of people is actually a cost.
If Du Caige only spends 5000 million to poach Jiang Youxi, although Arima Entertainment won't be losing money, it will be a waste of years of time and cost, and it will definitely be very uncomfortable.
Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, Du Caige gave this condition.
After Du Caige finished speaking, Tang Yezhi smoked his unlit cigarette, but remained silent.
Li Xiaoqiong also had a calm face, not showing any signs.
"What do you say?" Du Caige asked.
"What's there to say?" Tang Yezhi glanced at him and said angrily, "You said it yourself. This is a trivial matter. Since it is a trivial matter, there is nothing to say. Whatever you say is what you say. Paralyzed old man Would you still argue with you over such a trivial matter?"
Li Xiaoqiong also smiled, and said in a gentle tone, "I only hope that I will have the opportunity to cooperate with Mr. Hemingway in the future."
"Let me translate: Whether it's making movies or making music in the future, remember to bring us to play together!" Tang Yezhi said.
"Then don't worry about it. If you feel that you have lost money in the future, just ask me for other compensation."
"I feel so bad right now," Tang Yezhi laughed, "Take 10 songs to make up for my fragile heart!"
"My songs are never given to people casually." Du Caige's tone was light.
Li Xiaoqiong's pupils shrank, and although she didn't show any displeasure, the smile on her face obviously stiffened.
Tang Yezhi patted the table with a smile: "Okay! I'll give it to you later."
Li Xiaoqiong quickly turned her head to look at him, and asked with her gaze: What are you giving him?
Tang Yezhi shook his head: Don't worry about it.
Tang Yezhi was too aware of the temperament of this year-end friend.
Whether it was when he was called Lin Ke or he changed his name to Hemingway now, his songs are indeed never given to anyone casually.
It's not that you don't give it to others, but you must give it to the right person.
Therefore, if you want to praise someone, you can record the sound and let Du Caige listen to it carefully. Du Caige will naturally come up with suitable songs.
And if the person he pushed to the stage really couldn't make it to the stage, Du Caige would rather offend his friends than settle down.
When it comes to this, things are basically settled.
The rest of the time is just chatting.
When it was close to noon, Du Caige got up to say goodbye, and asked Fan Yuhong to take him to the vicinity of the Magic Opera, and invited several teachers of the Magic Opera to have dinner.
Of course Du Caige is someone who doesn't know the magic show, but Xu Qingya made a connection before.
In addition, he himself is the boss of Chasing Dream Interactive Entertainment—yes, the other party values his status as a capital rather than a director—so it is not difficult to make friends with the teacher of Magic Show.
The point is, he didn't ask others to do something, he just made friends.
So these teachers did not resist.
The purpose of Du Caige, on the one hand, is to consider that his younger sister wants to study in Magic Opera; Practitioners.
The former reason is relatively more important.
After all, the cooperation between Chasing Dream Huyu and Moxi can be negotiated by other high-level officials.
He is just an artist and doesn't like to socialize.
If it wasn't for Du Yuqi, he wouldn't be bothered to do this.
At present, the magic show teachers he has come into contact with are not high-level, and the highest are senior professors and middle-level administrators.
Higher-level people, such as department chairs and vice principals, can only get in touch slowly and step by step.
The meal went smoothly, and I recognized the faces of these teachers.
After dinner, Fan Yuhong sent him to meet Meng Zhaolong again.
On the way, Du Caige said: "Brother Fan, your son is capable and can make a lot of money; you are not short of money now. Although I need your help very much, I really don't want you to affect my health. If you look at it like this, you Help me build a team, from now on you will only be in charge of some things, and let others do the specific things, so you can relax a bit."
Fan Yuhong smiled and said, "I've thought about this a long time ago, and I'm still waiting for you to ask. Don't worry, I won't be brave. I still want to live a few more years to enjoy my happiness."
"Don't just talk and don't do it."
"I have to form a satisfactory team for you. I can't just use some crooked melons to fool you. You also know that I was not very satisfied with the team I led before. I definitely can't use it to deceive you."
Du Caige really cared about him, "It's almost as good as everything in the world can be."
Fan Yuhong gave him a promise letter: "I'm still observing some people, wait until the New Year is over, and I'll start bringing people to you one after another after the New Year, to get in touch with you."
After sending Du Caige to the field, Fan Yuhong left first.
In fact, he was very busy, Du Caige spread the stall too big, although Du Caige himself was the most tired one, he was not much better.
Just the copyright issue of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", including physical publishing copyright, physical publishing copyright overseas (Chinese-speaking regions such as Southeast Asia and cultural radiation areas of Dahuaguo such as Sakurajima), audiobook copyright, film and television copyright, etc., he met with people , dinners, and private talks totaled no less than 300 hours.
And Du Caige's other books, those fairy tales, music, and comics, each of which involved most of his energy.
And his current team is actually not capable, it was hastily formed before to support the family, some of them he can't trust at all, and he has to do many things himself.
Now that he is busy, he really feels that his body is a bit overwhelmed.
So, even if Du Caige doesn't say anything, he still plans to form a new team to take over, and he wants to retire—not to enjoy the blessings, but to recuperate.
Otherwise, let alone 5 years, it would be very difficult for him to live for 3 years.
……
In fact, Du Caige once had fantasies after the last audition for the male lead of "Tang Detective 1" failed.
Thinking of the plots on the Internet that he had seen before, he had imagined that he would find a young talent in a certain repertory troupe, and he had also imagined that he would run into a bad artist who had an accident.
However, the bridge in these scenes did not happen.
After the unsuccessful audition for a group of second-tier male actors, although Meng Zhaolong did not hold the audition with much fanfare, he made several announcements one after another, and asked his familiar friends and acquaintances in the industry if there were any suitable candidates.
These days, he has received more than 200 resumes, all of which are young actors in the fourth, fifth, or even eighteenth ranks.Some resumes also come with a video.
After going through layers of screening, this time he and Du Caige selected more than 20 people, sent a message to these people, and organized an audition.
One two, three five...
Actors walked into the audition room one by one. When they entered, they were either nervous or trying to be calm; manner……
After another actor thanked him, he walked out of the room and closed the door thoughtfully.
"Director Du, actually that Tan Quanxiong just now was pretty good, don't think about it anymore?"
Du Caige shook his head: "It's just that the dwarf is taller than the short one. The protagonist of this play will never settle, and must find the right one."
"I think it's quite appropriate..." Meng Zhaolong muttered.
Du Caige was shaken for a moment.
Thinking about it carefully, the director of "Tang Detective 1" is not him, but Meng Zhaolong.
Should Meng Zhaolong be the one to decide on the leading actor?
After all, it was Meng Zhaolong who wanted to cooperate with this actor.
But soon Du Caige shook his head, slowly but resolutely.
Although he is also a director himself, he can understand Meng Zhaolong very well.
But he is now participating in the audition and casting, as the employer.What I have to consider is how to ensure that a good script like "Tang Detective 1" can be filmed as well as possible, and get enough word-of-mouth and box office feedback.
Meng Zhaolong's feelings are the last thing to consider.
Meng Zhaolong hasn't proved himself yet, can he make good commercial films?
This is something that cannot be determined.
So Du Caige can only try his best to meet the various conditions for making "Tang Detective 1".
For example, in-depth discussions with Meng Zhaolong helped Meng Zhaolong form a shooting idea.
For example, invite excellent actors.
Also, hire a skilled crew.
Even if Meng Zhaolong is used as a marionette, it is necessary to ensure that the box office and reputation of this movie will not be too bad.
Meng Zhaolong also understands this point. He is also evolving from a literary film director to a commercial director. He understands that in such commercial productions, it is inevitable for the director to suffer some grievances.
"Call the next one in." Du Caige said.
Chapter 400 Let me ask you, is it good-looking?
When the last person came out, Meng Zhaolong looked at Du Caige's expression, and the corners of his mouth drooped, "Hey, it still doesn't work, right?"
