Chapter 168 Join forces
Zhang Qingxian had been waiting for three days, but he did not show the slightest bit of anxiety.

After all, he wrote both this song and this one.

The Yunding was used without his permission. According to the rules of this continent, there will definitely be big trouble!
This is the real seller, and Zhang Qingxian is the real winner!

"Boss Zhang is here. I'm in Huadu. Do you think we can meet?"

You Xiaobai's voice was clear and pleasant, and Zhang Qingxian was startled as soon as he opened his mouth.

in fact.

Inside the hotel, You Xiaobai was obviously more surprised than Zhang Qingxian.

There are several documents and contracts on the desk.

You Xiaobai never expected that when Zhang Qingxian asked her to come and meet Zhang Qingxian, the company actually agreed!

What’s more, the company is planning to invest money in the name!
The most surprising thing is.

That is... Zhang Qingxian!

A student in his twenties created a song and script that shocked everyone!
"Huadu?" a voice came from behind.

Zhang Qingxian recalled with great interest what You Xiaobai had just said.

He knew very well that this Yun Ding must have done some research on him.

Yunding Entertainment is a big company, so it is normal for it to be known by others.

In fact, he had no intention of hiding it, otherwise he would not have used his real name and contacted via email.

If the two of them were to join forces, they would inevitably have intersections.

"Then let's go to this barbecue restaurant in front of Huadu Academy of Fine Arts at 6:30 pm. Let's go together."

Zhang Qingxian chose a place at random.

You Xiaobai pondered for a moment, then replied.

"See you at six-thirty then."

She hung up the phone, feeling both angry and amused.

A huge project worth over tens of millions of dollars actually requires us to meet at a barbecue stall in front of the school?

This is too hasty!
She sighed and continued applying her makeup.

With her current popularity, who knows what would have happened if she hadn’t disguised herself and gone to Huadu Art School!
……

At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Qingxian sat down in a small private room of a barbecue restaurant.

five minutes later.

There was a knock on the door.

You Xiaobai wrapped himself tightly in cloth and pushed open the door.

"At such a young age, it's a bit surprising."

You Xiaobai sighed and stretched out his hand.

Zhang Qingxian immediately stood up, stretched out his hands and shook them gently.

Her fingers were slightly cold.

"Hello, You Xiaobai."

"My name is Zhang Qingxian, nice to meet you."

No unnecessary politeness.

You Xiaobai came to the barbecue restaurant alone. He sat down, took off his hat, put on a scarf, took off his sunglasses, revealing his true face.

Zhang Qingxian looked at the young queen with interest.

Even in this entertainment industry full of beauties, she is definitely a top figure.

The key is.

That kind of fresh and refined temperament seems particularly abrupt in this chaotic circle.

"It's just like I said."

"First, a 500 million recruitment reward."

"Second, I want to use this song as the ending theme."

"Miss You, what do you want?"

Zhang Qingxian was stunned for a moment and then started discussing the contract.

He had seen many beautiful women.

In the previous life, many people would use this method to exchange for resources.

You Xiaobai is a top figure both in his past life and in this life, but he will not give up his goals for a woman.

Of course, he was so straightforward for another purpose.

This is what Yunding meant.

If this were not the case, he would never have let You Xiaobai come to him in person.

indeed.

You Xiaobai took out a contract from his backpack, pushed it towards Zhang Qingxian, and said in a deep voice.

"Okay, whatever you say is fine."

"I have brought the contract, Boss Zhang. If you sign it directly, 500 million can be transferred to your account within five minutes."

"But..." Having said this, he paused and continued:
You Xiaobai tilted his head and actually handed over another contract.

"Boss Zhang, do you want to think about this contract again?"

"Yunding Group invested 1000 million in your "Fleeting Time"!"

"During filming, Yunding's venue and personnel can be used, and we will also send an assistant to cooperate with you."

"As for the role, we can still find it for you here."

"What do you think of this contract?"

Zhang Qingxian was a little surprised when he took the contract from You Xiaobai.

"So Young", Yunding is going to invest money?
This move was beyond his expectations.

Zhang Qingxian originally firmly believed that if You Xiaobai's song became a hit, he could use this opportunity to obtain more funds and start filming.

However, You Xiaobai's song has not been recorded yet, so this matter remains a mystery.

Therefore, Yunding not only has to invest 500 million, but also 1000 million!
Zhang Qingxian couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, this is true courage!

After all, he is still a student with no directing experience.

While the performances are excellent and the songs and script are appealing, his level of conducting is questionable.

Yunding’s investment this time can be described as a huge gamble.

It just depends on whether he can act well in this film!
Zhang Qingxian was so immersed in an agreement that he didn't even notice You Xiaobai's eyes on him.

A strange look flashed in You Xiaobai's eyes.

Of course she knew what Yun Ding meant.

Zhang Qingxian was assigned an assistant director and provided with a series of support for the filming of the film. The intention to sideline Zhang Qingxian was obvious.

the reason is simple.

Zhang Qingxian said it very clearly that he wanted to shoot this movie.

He holds the copyright, so even the currently popular Yunding Company has to give in.

You Xiaobai was confused and wondered whether Zhang Qingxian understood this.
He is still a student after all. No matter how talented he is, he can never understand the complexity of the entertainment industry.

of course.

This is not necessarily a good thing.

If Zhang Qingxian really has the ability to be a director, Yunding will give him the position.

"There is nothing wrong with this contract, just some changes in details."

Zhang Qingxian's words brought You Xiaobai back to reality.

“Yunding Company sponsored 1000 million US dollars, and my company sponsored 300 million US dollars.

"Besides, as an independent director, I want 15 percent of the shares, which is not too much."

Zhang Qingxian shrugged and came up with a very bold plan.

15%! If it was in the previous life, this would be a number that would cause a sensation!

After all, the box office of a film is a very complicated matter.

Cinemas will occupy the largest share, reaching more than 60 percent.

They can only get 40% of the profits.

In addition, some actors, directors and screenwriters also want a piece of the pie.

He is a retail investor, so of course the allocation is not simply based on the amount of investment.

After all, Yunding is responsible for the actors, venues, publicity, etc.

Zhang Qingxian asked for a sky-high price of 15% because he was the screenwriter, director, and investor!
This is equivalent to dividing his company and Yunding’s company equally.

However, this is already too much.

The previous version of "Lost in Thailand" was directed by the director himself, and with his own funds, he eventually earned 1.2 billion in box office share.

The reason why Zhang Qingxian could offer such a high price was entirely out of respect for the screenwriter and director.

Without waiting for You Xiaobai to answer, Zhang Qingxian immediately interrupted him.

"I signed a bet contract with Yunding. It's a 100 million movie, but I won't take a dime."

"From 100 million to 500 million, I want 5 percent. From 500 million to 1 billion, and from 1 billion to 1.5 billion, I want 15 percent."

He had already thought about how to explain it.

One to one and a half billion - this is the upper limit in Zhang Qingxian's mind.

At worst, there is still 50 billion.

If this film can earn 100 million within a year as I expected, it will definitely not be a big problem.

In this era of extreme scarcity of entertainment resources, it will surely be a huge success!
"Wait a minute, I'll make a phone call."

Seeing Zhang Qingxian's firm attitude, You Xiaobai immediately called Yunding's senior executive.

She remembered.

That day, she and Mr. Yang submitted the script and lyrics of the film.

The female president of Yunding Film and Television stared at the script in silence for a long time. Finally, her voice choked up and she said firmly that this film must be made!
As long as he can satisfy Zhang Qingxian, he can complete the last step!
Considering his status in Yunding, such words still carry a lot of weight.

The outcome of this battle was not beyond his expectations.

"The contract will be modified in a while, and I will send you the new contract."

You Xiaobai felt like he was dreaming.

With just a few words, the two of them finalized an investment of more than 10 million, and also finalized the future profits, which would reach tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions!
Zhang Qingxian is no longer surprised.

In his previous life, he was in charge of a large-scale game, so a mere 10 million was nothing to him.

He is now bargaining with Yun Ding to accumulate initial capital for himself.

With enough funds and fame, he can definitely stand on equal footing with those entertainment companies!

After being in this circle for so many years, what kind of tricks have you not seen?

Yunding is injecting capital, sending people, and providing resources. Its intentions are obvious.

Let him be an actor, let him be an actor, let him be an actor, let the people from Yunding be actors?
Zhang Qingxian rushed over without fear.

As long as he demonstrates his ability and guarantees the quality of the film, Yunding, as an investor, would not be so stupid as to give up the funds.

"Miss You, thank you for your hard work."

Zhang Qingxian stood up, stretched out his hands, and gently held You Xiaobai's hands.

You Xiaobai smiled sweetly, looking like a girl next door.

"No need to be polite. It is my honor to represent Yun Ding and join forces with Teacher Zhang!"

"Mr. Zhang, if you have another good song like this in the future, just come to me and I will pay a high price."

Do you want to buy one?
Zhang Qingxian curled his lips into a sneer.

"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. I do have some ideas."

His words immediately aroused You Xiaobai's curiosity. He stared at Zhang Qingxian with his eyes lighting up.

"I also graduated from Huadu Academy of Fine Arts, and I haven't been back to school for a while."

"Let's go."

You Xiaobai invited him out loud, and a slight blush appeared on her face.

Zhang Qingxian naturally would not refuse the beauty's invitation.

She put on some light makeup, a baseball cap and sunglasses, and followed Zhang Qingxian out of the barbecue shop.

They didn't touch the barbecue on the table either.

Dusk.

The famous female singer was walking in the sunset with the man who had just learned her name.

If this were discovered by the paparazzi, it would definitely become the number one trending search!

Unfortunately, no one knows.

the next day.

Zhang Qingxian waved his hand and signed the revised investment agreement.

I heard that he got 10 million yuan in funding from Yunding. The top leaders of the entire college approved of his work and even gave him a year's vacation.

The only condition is that the play must be filmed at Huadu Art School.

This actually gave Zhang Qingxian an excellent location for filming.

Not long after, Yunding's money came.

The rest is about shooting.

The preparation work for the shooting scene is a very tedious and tedious task.

Fortunately, Zhang Qingxian had Yunding behind him, and with the help of the experts sent by Yunding, everything went smoothly.

I am very sure of that.

Of course, there is also an important factor, which is that it is not expensive to produce.

Because this is a movie that doesn't require any special effects, the shooting location had been determined long ago, and with the help of a dedicated team, everything went smoothly.

Set design, photography, lighting, costumes, art direction…

This is the advantage of working with a large company. There are enough people and you don't have to take on a part-time job in addition to being a director like in the previous life.

The assistant director sent by Yunding is named Chen Wei, who is considered a top figure among the younger generation. The films he has directed have grossed over 100 million yuan, with the highest one even reaching nearly 500 million yuan.

Relying on his experience from his previous life, Zhang Qingxian quickly finished writing the script.

During the filming process, Zhang Qingxian had almost nothing to do.

It can almost be said to be negligible.

Chen Wei was responsible for most of the work.

He knew very well that Yunding sent him here just to keep an eye on this talented but imaginative director to prevent him from doing anything wrong.

If necessary, he will turn his competitors into puppets to ensure the quality of the film!
So, like a real director, he handed over all the work to Qin Guan.

Zhang Qingxian didn't care.

The plot of this TV series is relatively simple, and is mainly set in school.

As an experienced director, Chen Wei would definitely not have any problems letting them do this kind of thing, and it could even save him a lot of effort.

He only started getting involved in the film when the film was casting.

In a class at Huadu Art School.

Zhang Qingxian picked up the manuscript on the table and flipped through it page by page.

Chen Wei sat down on his left and looked Zhang Qingxian up and down.

He had only one thought about Zhang Qingxian...

Young, smart, and a little clever.

But at this moment, his opinion of Zhang Qingxian was somewhat different.

focus.
