Chapter 89: Soaring to the Sky
After finishing his meal, Chen An left the other person's house.
The matter has not been settled yet, and Chen An has no idea of making a big production for the time being.
I haven’t finalized next year’s award-winning work, and my Hollywood movies haven’t been released yet, so I have no idea what to do.
Seeing that Chen An kept refusing, Han Sanping didn't say anything more and didn't talk about this topic again during the meal.
But Chen An felt that the other party's idea had not been extinguished.
It was not until after the Lantern Festival that Chen An returned to the company. This was his first time back since returning to China.
As soon as I got downstairs, I took the elevator upstairs, and as soon as I went out, I saw Zhao Xiong standing at the door smoking.
After not seeing each other for a few years, the other person hasn't changed much.
"Director Chen, long time no see." Zhao Xiong said in surprise when he looked up and saw Chen An appear.
In fact, he had already joined the company a long time ago, but Chen An was always abroad, so he just stayed in the company.
I arrived at the company early after the New Year holiday.
He did nothing for the past two months but still received his salary, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
Chen An nodded and patted the other person on the shoulder: "Brother Zhao is finally here. Things are different now. This time if we go abroad again, we can do more than just sightseeing." He was joking.
We went to the three major film festivals twice, and each time we went, he/she accompanied us. If we can be shortlisted this time, we will visit all three together.
"Is Sister Xiaoping here? I have something to talk to her about." Chen An took the cigarette handed to him, lit it and started smoking.
Zhao Xiong turned around and pointed to an office inside. "Manager Li has arrived a long time ago and is in the office."
"Okay, I'll go find her first. I have to start work today." Chen An smiled. Since the other party came, she would definitely follow him.
It's nice to have a driver instead of having to drive yourself.
After smoking, Chen An walked into the company and came to the door of the other party’s general manager’s office. He knocked on the door before opening it and going in.
When I saw Li Xiaoping again after a few months, she looked much more capable, with her hair tied up and sitting at her desk.
"Director Chen, you're back without even notifying us in advance." Li Xiaoping stood up immediately and said when she saw Chen An coming back.
Chen An sat down on the chair in front of her desk. "There's not that much to do. I'll be back naturally after filming the movie. How's the investment going?"
This is what Chen wants to know most compared to other things.
Li Xiaoping naturally knew that Chen An was talking about the investment in the pig farm, and she specifically reminded him before he left the country, "The other party only accepts 11 million for % of the shares, and you need to invest in person."
"It's probably because of your fame. As one of the best directors in the country, it will also be beneficial to the company's publicity."
Li Xiaoping discussed with the other party several times before finally finalizing the share.
"I can't be considered one of the top directors, but it's no problem. I'll tell you when I can sign the contract." Chen An didn't care.
Chen An seriously felt that it was not because he was a director, but because of his previous outrageous actions, he was a celebrity on the Internet.
These shares are enough, and if there are too many, people will definitely not do it.
Li Xiaoping picked up the phone and said, "I haven't set a time yet. Mainly, I don't know when you will be back. I'll contact you now." After saying that, she dialed the number.
Chen An did not disturb him and waited quietly.
"Director Chen happens to have time and wants to meet you." Li Xiaoping said with a smile after hanging up the phone.
Chen An nodded and stood up, "Let's go, Brother Zhao is here, let's go together." After saying that, he started walking towards the door.
After going out, he saw many new employees he had never seen before. Chen An greeted them with a smile, then found Zhao Xiong and took Li Xiaoping and the lawyer hired by the company with him to set off.
The Mercedes-Benz he bought before also came in handy. Zhao Xiong drove fast and steadily, and his driving skills were amazing.
"Sister Ping, how are the three people in our company doing now?" Chen An asked Li Xiaoping while sitting in the car, referring to the three actors currently under contract.
"Chen Kun has currently accepted some commercial performances and a movie, and Zeng Li is the same. They haven't been given too many commercial performances or TV series. Yu Jinghong has received many TV series offers."
Li Xiaoping reported the situation, saying that the two students at school had not taken on too many commercial performances and had each taken on one or two movies.
They were all tribute films. Only Zeng Li had many film offers from Hong Kong Island, but she rejected them all.
"When they are in their senior year, they can all take the course. As long as they have a solid foundation, it all depends on their own talents." Time flies, and both of them are juniors now.
I will be in my senior year when school starts in the second half of the year. After that, the school’s teaching will be of no use. It all depends on my own understanding.
Mr. Zhou's unconventional approach relies purely on talent.
"Also, Zeng Li originally auditioned for Director Chen's senior, Director Zhang, last year, but he felt that her image in your movie was too profound, so she was not selected. The role was snatched away by one of her classmates."
"Really? There's nothing we can do about it. Zeng Li is doomed to die." Chen An shook his head and didn't care.
I still lost, I just thought silently in my heart.
The other party missed this opportunity in the previous life. Zhang Ziyi originally wanted to play Zeng Li in his famous work "My Father and Mother", but the role was snatched away because of his poor performance.
I didn't expect that I would lose this opportunity in this life, and it was because of my own reasons. It seems to be God's will.
Taking part in a Zhang Yimou movie is a great opportunity for all actors, and the title of "Mou Girl" is at its peak.
He is quite good at praising others.
And Zhang Ziyi really soared to fame after that, directly following Li An's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which was also a huge success.
After that, she took part in "Rush Hour 2", which was considered a step into Hollywood, and later she became an international celebrity.
Of course, my senior brother Zhang also contributed to this, but I have to say that the other party’s ability and means of seizing opportunities are remarkable.
Unlike Zeng Li, who is just a vase and a complete troublemaker.
"Director Chen, Manager Li, we've arrived." Just as Chen An was thinking quietly, Zhao Xiong, who was driving in front, slowly stopped the car in front of a building, turned around and said.
Chen An stopped thinking and nodded, "Brother Zhao, please stop the car and wait for a moment."
"No problem, I'll find a place to park first, and you can call me when the time comes."
After the two of them finished talking, Chen An got out of the car through the door that Li Xiaoping opened, and followed the other party and the lawyer into the building.
Not long after, I met Ding Sanshi, one of the Three Musketeers of the Internet, who was a famous Internet tycoon in his previous life.
The round, round face, wearing a pair of glasses, greeted Chen An with a smile: "Director Chen, I have heard of your name for a long time. I love watching your movies. I have wanted to meet you for a long time."
"Everyone who meets me says that they like my movies. It seems that there are still many people who like my movies." Chen An shook the other person's hand and said with a warm smile.
Ding Sanshi's face was full of smiles as he said with his mouth open, "That's right, Director Chen's movies are well-known all over the country, but I didn't expect Director Chen to be so optimistic about my company."
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't want to invest in Mr. Ding. I am very optimistic about your company and believe it will be one of the leading companies in the future." Chen An also echoed the other party's words.
The company is yours, I just think highly of your prospects and want to invest in it.
"Okay, okay. I believe I won't let Director Chen down." Ding Sanshi smiled even more happily.
The contract had been prepared long ago. Li Xiaoping had negotiated it with the other party before and was just waiting for Chen An to come back.
After the lawyer confirmed it, Chen An and Ding Sanshi both signed their names on it.
Chen An purchased 11% of the other party's shares and equity for million yuan. He did not hold any position in the company, but was only listed as one of the directors in name only.
Both parties were very satisfied with this, but Chen An was happier.
This is Zhuchang, one of the real giants in the future Internet companies!
