Chapter 174 Negotiation
Zhang Qingxian nodded slightly: "Yes."

"Minister Zhang, I hope you can help me prepare more."

"With the connections Director Zhang has, it won't take long to set up a new team.

Minister Zhang winked at Zhang Qingxian.

"From your looks, you seem to be in a hurry, waiting to challenge Ren Guanyu?"

Zhang Qingxian just shrugged his shoulders and said nothing.

Minister Zhang took the manuscript and continued to flip through it.

"The girl we pursued back then?"

She uttered two words softly.

"The girl we once courted."

"Interesting. Just hearing the title makes me want to watch it."

She read the manuscript page by page, paying close attention to every word.

As he flipped through the pages, he couldn't help laughing.

You're riding behind, which is very childish.

A group of people who openly love the girls in the class who are good at studying and beautiful in appearance.

Dozing off in class, chatting, banging the table with the back, and scribbling on the book.

Performing magic tricks, deliberately throwing the ball in front of the girls, pretending to be mature...

What a childish way to pick up girls.

and……

She saved Shen Jiayi with her book, and was punished to sit on a stool and dance around the school like a frog.

The two have a good relationship.

Because of her, he studied hard and his grades soared.

Minister Zhang was totally unaware of this.

Her attention became more and more focused, and she was gradually drawn over.

There was already a smile on his face.

"What a fool."

Minister Zhang let out a breath and put the manuscript away.

“In terms of plot, it is more stable and touching than “Fleeting Time”.

"The popularity of 'Fleeting Time' is high enough to attract people's attention and arouse heated discussions.

"This play doesn't have so many gorgeous plots, but I like it better because it is touching enough."

"I was very sad when I watched "Fleet of Time". This one made me very sad, but also very warm."

After saying that, she returned the manuscript to Zhang Qingxian.

I didn't expect that he could say so much.

"I think the box office this time will definitely exceed the previous one."

“This is more realistic.”

No wonder he was once the head of Yunding's film and television department.

This is too strong.

You can tell the general idea from just one glance.

Zhang Qingxian smiled slightly and nodded.

"If Director Zhang agrees, then we can talk about the follow-up matters."

However, at this moment, Minister Zhang's voice suddenly rang out.

“This is also your original creation, right?”

"Of course." Regnar nodded.

Zhang Qingxian was puzzled. Why did she say that?
Minister Zhang raised a weird smile and said jokingly.

"I heard from Sister You Xiaobai that you said before that you have never had a girlfriend."

"But aren't you based on you?"

"There is another sentence that needs to be completed with a book."

Zhang Qingxian was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Director Zhang, please stop teasing me. This is just because of the nature of our work."

"But what about the story?"

"Can you write one too?"

Minister Zhang's question gave him a new idea.

This matter is not limited to "Those Years".

There are a lot of good things in his mind.

If this song can be made into a movie, then when I start my own company in the future, will I still have trouble getting TV series and movies?

"I just regret why I didn't give you a better treatment and let you come to work in my company."

Minister Zhang shook his head, a look of disappointment showing on his face.

She really regrets it now.

At first, he thought Zhang Qingxian was a genius, but he didn't expect that Zhang Qingxian was so talented. In just two weeks, he wrote a good script comparable to "So Young"!
However, he also knew that it was too late to say anything now.

"Let's talk about cooperation. From today on, I am no longer Yun Ding's subordinate. Whatever you want to do, I can help you do it."

Minister Zhang quickly entered into a discussion mode and began to speak.

Being in a high position for a long time, one naturally has an extraordinary temperament.

Zhang Qingxian still had a calm expression.

"I paid for it myself, directed it myself, and wrote the script."

"Chen Wei can be the assistant director, Li Xun can be the male lead, and the remaining actors have not yet been confirmed. Please, Master, gather them together, and then I will select them."

“In addition, the costumes, locations, crew preparation, filming of the movie, post-production publicity, etc. all depend on the great god.”

After hearing Zhang Qingxian's words, Minister Zhang's expression immediately became serious.

He is a very experienced man and is not someone who can be fooled so easily.

She came to a conclusion in her mind.

Zhang Qingxian made his point very clearly and did not give her a chance to refute.

Theoretically speaking.

Although the two have joined forces, they are not equal.

Zhang Qingxian single-handedly took on all the key tasks including investment, directing, and screenwriting.

Of course, this also requires the crew's preparation work and communication with theaters.

This is especially true in cinemas.

Even if the film is successfully shot, it is just empty talk if it cannot be released.

However, the most crucial person is Zhang Qingxian.

He is the core of this character.

It is obvious that Zhang Qingxian will receive a high dividend.

“It’s about the distribution.”

"After deducting the cinema's commission, I take 70% and Shenqi takes 30%."

Zhang Qingxian understood what Director Zhang meant and directly told him about the profit distribution.

"Not enough!" his voice rang out again.

Minister Zhang's attitude is very firm.

"It's a 50-50 split. I'm going to give it to those members of TVXQ, and I'll also have my own income."

"Also, go contact other people, especially the cinema."

"If you think about it this way, a 70% to 30% split means that we won't make any money!"

She looked unyielding.

Zhang Qingxian, on the other hand, remained calm and not affected at all.

“What if I can sell it for a good price?”

"If the price is high enough, we can make money, right?"

"Director Zhang himself said that this show will definitely surpass 'Fleeting Time'."

Minister Zhang felt helpless after hearing what he said, and cursed this cunning fox in his heart.

"Well, let's each give way."

"With a 40% to 60% split, we at Shenqi can also make a small profit."

Minister Zhang saw that Zhang Qingxian was so stubborn, so he had to compromise.

Anyway, she is still very confident about this film.

It doesn't matter if you earn less.

"Deal!" Regnar nodded.

Zhang Qingxian was a very obedient person and agreed immediately.

Generally speaking, cinemas take a 60% cut, which is a helpless move.

If there is no cinema, there is no place to show it.

Moreover, Zhang Qingxian does not currently have the ability to build a cinema.

The remaining 40%, even if Zhang Qingxian and Shenqi accounted for %, would still exceed the income of Fleet of Time. Minister Zhang sighed, looking helpless.

It now seems that Zhang Qingxian is planning on June 4th!

After the distribution was completed, Zhang Qingxian did not leave immediately.

he asked suddenly.

"Director Zhang, I have been looking for an assistant to take care of some trivial matters these days. Do you have a good candidate?"

Minister Zhang's expression suddenly became strange.

"You..." Chen Zhao sighed helplessly.

"Are you trying to trick me?"

As she spoke, she seemed to remember something.

"There is one."

"I just returned home and I have some skills."

"The point is, she's very beautiful."

Zhang Qingxian noticed the expression on Minister Zhang's face, and a strange emotion suddenly arose in his heart.

"Okay, thank you Director Zhang for the introduction."

Director Zhang immediately laughed, meaning that the man was still inside.

She dialed a number.

Not long after, a woman pushed the door open.

Director Zhang was right, this woman is truly a beauty.

He is very tall and wears a pair of black-framed glasses.

If an ordinary person wears a pair of black-framed glasses, they may look tacky, but with her facial features, they make people feel very comfortable.

"Dengdengdeng." She was wearing a pair of thin white high heels and a pair of long legs, which made Zhang Qingxian, a man who had seen many beautiful women in the entertainment industry, couldn't help but look sideways.

As soon as the woman entered the room, her eyes fell on Zhang Qingxian, and then on Director Zhang's face.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Mother?

Zhang Qingxian looked at the mother and son with some surprise. They really looked a bit alike.

"It doesn't matter. You are not interested in Shenqi's work, right?"

"It just so happens that Director Zhang wants to hire an assistant. Do you want to give it a try?"

Minister Zhang said to Zhang Qingxian with a smile, a hint of teasing in his voice.

She looked like a matchmaker.

Zhang Qingxian couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Director Zhang?" A familiar voice sounded.

"It's Director Zhang. He created "Back in Time" and "My Deskmate"?"

A gleam of light flashed in the woman's eyes, and she took two steps forward.

Zhang Qingxian held her tightly.

"Hello, Zhang Luyan.

"Zhang Qingxian." Wang Chenghao's voice rang out.

Minister Zhang looked at the two of them and exchanged a few words, then stood up and spoke.

"I'm going to go outside for a walk."

After saying that, she quickly walked out of her room, leaving only Zhang Qingxian and Zhang Luyan here.

Zhang Luyan immediately pulled out a chair and sat next to Huo Yuhao.

"My mother told me that you are a promising young man, a talented person, and a handsome guy."

Zhang Luyan looked Zhang Qingxian up and down and gave her mother an approving look.

Zhang Qingxian: “…”

We said we were going to recruit people, but it turned out to be like a blind date.

"Director Zhang has a really good eye. He is very good at judging people."

Zhang Luyan was shocked by Zhang Qingxian's answer.

"Then tell me about it."

"Ms. Zhang, how do you feel about being my assistant?"

Zhang Luyan's eyes flashed and she asked back.

"Director Zhang, what are your requirements for your assistant?"

Zhang Qingxian could feel that the other party had full confidence in him.

"Ms. Zhang, as you know, I made a bet with the famous director Ren. What do you think I should do?"

He threw a tricky question in front of Zhang Luyan.

Is it an interview question?

Zhang Luyan's expression turned serious.

"I know a little bit about it. It's not a complicated issue. It's very normal in the entertainment industry."

“In short, there are three plans.”

The best way, the best way...

Zhang Qingxian couldn't help but reveal a hint of doubt.

He is indeed full of confidence.

Zhang Luyan stretched out a hand and extended a hand to him.

“The best way is that Director Zhang’s next movie will be better than Ren Guanyu’s. By then, everyone will support you. Then, you will become famous and make money.

Whether Director Zhang wanted to show his magnanimity or make him fulfill his promise, the winner has the right to show off his strength. "

She observed Zhang Qingxian's expression.

There were no emotional fluctuations.

Then it was Zhang Luyan's second finger.

“The middle strategy is to secretly contact Ren Guanyu to make this matter bigger, create public opinion, and keep the attention on this matter going.

In this way, both parties can get sufficient share during the screening of the film to ensure that they will not lose money.

"We can make this bet clear in advance. The winner can just laugh it off and leave a good impression on himself."

She extended her hand again and spoke slowly.

“The worst option is to wait and see.

People on the Internet have short memories and will soon be forgotten.

As for that gambling game, we can ignore it."

Zhang Qingxian brought her a cup of boiling hot water.

"You want to compete with your rivals at the box office on your own?"

"Why is it the best way to join forces with them to hype the film and ensure the sales of the film? Is this the best middle policy?"

He said pretending to be confused.

Zhang Luyan picked up the water glass, took a sip, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"If it were someone else, I would definitely consider the best approach."

"In this circle, there are so many people who are only interested in profit. They are all obsessed with money. Why would they care about face?"

"But..." Regnar looked embarrassed.

Zhang Luyan was slightly stunned.

"I don't think Director Zhang is that kind of person."

"This matter is not a trivial matter. It is just a personal vendetta."

"Director Zhang, I think you are determined to take revenge."

"I believe I can win."

"Young man, if you only pursue fame and fortune without thinking about revenge, what is the point?"

Zhang Qingxian looked at Zhang Luyan in surprise, "What's going on?

She's right.

Ultimately, this is just a personal vendetta.

If it were any newcomer in the industry, they might be happy to be teased by Ren Guanyu like this, because it means that their popularity will continue.

however.

There is no need for Zhang Qingxian to do this.

If he wanted to, it would be a simple matter.

Just like what Zhang Luyan said.

He has enough strength and confidence. If he only pursues fame and fortune but fails to take revenge, then his life will be lived in vain.

“Secondly, what is my next plan?”

Zhang Qingxian suddenly asked an unexpected question.

Zhang Luyan seemed to have anticipated this situation.

"Director Zhang made a lot of money with 'Fleeting Time'."

“If you’re going to start your own business, start with a studio.”
