Chen Jiaying couldn't help but wonder if Zhang Qiurui had a deeper agenda. After all, in this profit-driven world, granting artists such generous freedom and respect doesn't seem to conform to conventional business logic.
"Director Zhang, I am willing to sign a ten-year contract." After Wen Meiling heard the three versions of the contract that Zhang Qiurui said, she immediately made a decision.
Although the ten-year contract is long, it is more beneficial to their artists. She is very satisfied with the treatment, salary and commission. Moreover, after becoming famous, the share in the contract will be changed.
I'm afraid that no agency in Hong Kong can compare to the contract with BroadSky Pictures. She would be stupid not to sign it.
"Director Zhang, I'm also willing to sign a ten-year contract." Lan Jieying followed closely.
"Don't worry, there are two small requests later.
Listen to me first. First of all, neither of you has any acting background. I plan to send you to TVB training class for a year to lay a solid foundation. After all, acting skills are the foundation of an actor.
The company will arrange for you to film a movie one year later.
Second, the contract you signed cannot be disclosed to others.
I'm sure you all know that no agency in Hong Kong can match the contract terms I've offered you. Once word gets out, our company will inevitably be targeted by other film and television companies." Zhang Qiurui proposed his other two conditions.
Upon hearing this, Wen Meiling and Lan Jieying naturally agreed without any objection.
However, Chen Jiaying, who was standing next to him, nodded secretly in his heart when he heard this. The boss's decision undoubtedly showed his far-sighted vision and his true desire to cultivate artists.
In the impetuous world of the entertainment industry, being able to calm down and hone one's acting skills is undoubtedly extremely valuable for an artist.
"Very good, the contract is settled. I will have someone prepare the contract and you can sign it at any time." Zhang Qiurui said with a smile.
........。
Beijing, Yenching Film Academy.
"Teacher Situ, we are now strongly demanding that Zhang Qiurui return to China to film a movie. We must also film a movie that can win awards at the three major film festivals.
Now Zhang Qiurui is in Hong Kong, having filmed two films, both of which won international awards, and it has nothing to do with us. This has made the leaders above very dissatisfied and anxious.
They believe that as the top film school in China, the students trained by the Yenching Film Academy should shine in the domestic film industry. Cheng Ying, the president of the Yenching Film Academy, was also very frustrated when he received the above notice.
"What do you mean by abroad? Isn't Hong Kong Chinese territory?
Besides, when making a movie, you can't just win an award if you want. Isn't this embarrassing?" Situ Zhaodun frowned, his tone filled with helplessness and dissatisfaction.
"Teacher Situ, I have no choice. During the Cultural Revolution... you know that our college was implicated, which is why the school ended up in Zhuxinzhuang.
Let’s not talk about whether the movie will win an award or not. Let’s first call back Zhang Qiurui and shoot a movie to shut these people up.
As far as I know, Zhang Qiurui's adaptation of "The Garland at the Foot of the Mountain" has been garnering rave reviews since it was made into a film. It's receiving a lot of attention from government officials, and it seems they're considering awarding Zhang Qiurui the Best Screenplay award at next year's Golden Rooster Awards. Cheng Ying revealed this to Situ Zhao Dundao.
“That’s pretty close.
However, for the film shot by Zhang Qiurui in China this time, regardless of whether it wins an award or not, I hope the production studio can give a reasonable purchase price.
Zhang Qiurui's last film, "The Fault in Our Stars," grossed over 100 million yuan, yet the purchase price was only 400,000 yuan. "That's a complete bargain." Situ Zhaodun was furious when he thought about this.
Becoming famous at a young age and being promoted based on seniority, who are you looking down on?
Hearing this, Cheng Ying sighed softly, nodded, and said, "Teacher Situ, don't worry, I will communicate well with the distribution studio this time.
After all, Zhang Qiurui's current achievements cannot be ignored. She has not only achieved success in Hong Kong, but has also won numerous awards internationally. Our academy needs outstanding students like her to bring honor to the academy, and the studios will also understand this."
Upon hearing this, Situ Zhaodun's expression softened slightly. "I hope so," he said. "Zhang Qiurui is developing very rapidly in Hong Kong. Her classmates who went there with her have all made movies and have achieved impressive box office results there."
If it is absolutely necessary, I don’t want to call Zhang Qiurui back.”
........。
In less than two days, Zhang Qiurui received a telegram from Situ Zhaodun.
"What a hard life, and he really knows how to choose the timing!" After reading the telegram sent to her by Situ Zhaodun, Zhang Qiurui shook her head helplessly, with a bitter smile on her lips.
The school called me back to Beijing to shoot a movie, and the superiors also asked me to make a movie that would win an award at the three major international film festivals. This requirement is really unprecedented.
If this task fell on someone else, it might be difficult, but for Zhang Qiurui, it was much easier.
She had seen many movies that won awards at the three major international film festivals in her mind. Zhang Qiurui was thinking about which movie she should "copy" to compete in the three major festivals.
She has already won the top awards for Best Director and Best Picture at the Cannes Film Festival, and also won the Best Director award at the Berlin Film Festival. In February next year, "Spirited Away" will continue to compete at the Berlin Film Festival, and if nothing unexpected happens, it will also win the Best Picture award at the Berlin Film Festival.
