Chapter 489 Liu Shishi, Vice Chairman of Tangren Films

In fact, deep down, Wei Yang wanted Liu Shishi to shoot "The Witch", otherwise he would have nothing better to do than to make an action movie with a female lead.

However, Lao Cai's concerns are not without reason. The risk of a theme like "The Witch" is too high.

Even now, including Zhou Gongzi and Fan Xiaopang, they dare not say how high their box office appeal is. In the film market, the disadvantages of female stars are extremely obvious.

Chick flicks are one of the few that can play to the popularity and fame of female stars and relatively achieve the purpose of carrying the box office.

Now even action movies are not popular, let alone action movies with female leads, which are the most unpopular among the unpopular.

Not to mention that although Liu Shishi has a good reputation for fighting scenes, she is not a professional action actor. In addition to the support of fans, the most critical ordinary audiences and fan groups may not easily buy into it.

The estimated investment for this movie is not low. If it is crowned as Liu Shishi's film debut, there will be too many people in and out of the circle watching the excitement.

In recent years, Liu Shishi has been in great glory and her career has been rising steadily, but she has also offended a large group of people.

Many people are willing to see her fall!

Once the rhythm is set, even Wei Yang can't protect her, because the ones who want to see Liu Shishi fall the most are Zhao Liying and Fan Xiaopang. I'm afraid her good sisters Tang Yan and Da Mimi will also have an ambiguous attitude. Even if Wei Yang can help her defend against the open and secret attacks from outside, the internal backstab is no joke.

So Wei Yang means to be conservative first, shoot "Embroidered Spring Blade 2" to stabilize, and also test everyone's views on her action scenes.

If the results and reputation are good, then shoot "Witch". Anyway, the script is in his hands, it's nothing more than a matter of time, no need to rush.

Wei Yang is also an actor, he knows very well that actors need passion and personal recognition to shoot.

You can only play well if you like a certain script and a certain role. If you are in good condition, you will get half the result with twice the effort when shooting.

If there is no choice, it's fine. If there is a choice, try to shoot what you like.

Once Wei Yang said it, the matter was basically settled.

Although Lao Cai felt that the drama "Embroidered Spring Blade 2" could not highlight Liu Shishi, she wanted her to be the first. But after all, for actors, the most important thing is to perform well, and the ranking is secondary.

Even if it is a movie with a female lead, no matter how many scenes she has, if the movie is not good, it is a waste of effort.

With Liu Shishi's fame and status, there is no need to pursue the ranking. Even if she plays a supporting role, no one dares to underestimate her.

Liu Shishi personally likes "Embroidered Spring Blade 2", and Wei Yang is also optimistic about it. Lao Cai has reservations about the former's opinion, but attaches great importance to the latter's opinion.

Not only is Boss Wei's status and strength, but also his well-known accurate vision in the circle.

Nine out of ten projects he is optimistic about are successful!

Lao Cai listened to Wei Yang's analysis of "Embroidered Spring Blade 2" and silently raised the importance of this movie by two levels.

"What about "Go Away Tumor"?"

Old Cai was still a little unwilling, Wei Yang smiled and said, "Then we can only change people. The director wanted to shoot last year, and I kept pushing him. We can't let him wait forever."

Although Han Yan is a new director, he has works before, and he can barely be considered to be emerging.

Wei Yang is willing to invest, so he can let the other party postpone the project, but he can't keep suppressing it, otherwise he is likely to find another sponsor. It's not just Blue Whale that is interested in this script.

"Who do you plan to let play it?"

Liu Shishi, who was next to him, suddenly asked a question. Wei Yang was keenly aware of some murderous intent and swallowed his words.

"It depends on what the director and producer mean. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't ask about this project."

Since it is a chick movie and the shooting difficulty is not high, then it must be given priority to their own family.

Even if their box office appeal is not as good as Bai Baihe, their popularity is here, and they won't be much worse in publicity and promotion.

As for who will be chosen in the end, Wei Yang is not too sure, but as long as it is those few people, it is definitely not what Liu Shishi wants to see, so Wei Yang directly removed himself from the list, and it was all the director and producer's fault.

Liu Shishi did not say anything, but Lao Cai heard Wei Yang's subtext and looked at him with contempt.

Scumbag!

I didn't scum you!

Wei Yang did not show any weakness. It was okay to feel guilty in front of Liu Shishi, but it did not mean that he would accept other people pointing fingers at him from the moral high ground.

Do you really think Boss Wei is good-tempered? !

After reluctantly letting Tangren and a few others have a meal, Lao Cai wanted to refuse for a while, but was directly driven away by Boss Wei with a sarcastic tone.

A short separation is better than a new marriage. The couple had not seen each other for more than a month. Why are you acting as a light bulb here?

As soon as the annoying person left, Wei Yang wanted to take Liu Shishi to take a bath together, but she stopped him, slapped off the hands that were making trouble on her body, and forced herself to be serious.

"Wait, I'll tell you something serious."

"I can't wait, this is also serious!"

Wei Yang was confident. Liu Shishi was at home today, wearing a brown-red knitted dress, which not only fit her figure well, but also made her skin look white. With her pure and gentle appearance, she was particularly attractive.

Maybe it was because they had been apart for a long time, or maybe it was because of the nourishing dishes he had just secretly eaten in the bedroom, Boss Wei was in a very good mood and had no intention of asking about the other two things.

"Wait a minute."

Liu Shishi was so angry that she pinched him a few times, and then Boss Wei was calm.

After taking two breaths, Liu Shishi was afraid that Wei Yang could not bear it for long, so he quickly told the story.

"Lao Cai came to discuss with me and planned to let me invest in Tangren."

Wei Yang paused for a moment after hearing this: "Has she not given up on the IPO?"

Lao Cai has always wanted to operate Tangren to go public. She has taken many actions before and even brought in capital institutions for financing, but the progress has not been smooth.

I heard before that Tangren has considered suspending the IPO plan, but now Lao Cai is doing the celebrity shareholder thing again. Wei Yang immediately saw that she was not resigned.

The reason is very simple. Giving or selling shares to artists is to bind and win over artists. The number will not be too large. Such a small number of shares has no actual rights. It is difficult to cash out if it is not listed, just like chicken ribs.

So Tangren wants to use shares to hold on to several leading artists. It is not only to give shares, but also to let them see the hope of cashing out through listing.

"Lao Cai did say that we will go public, but this time, she not only wants me to invest, but also wants me to become an important shareholder."

Wei Yang raised his eyebrows, and he asked why Liu Shishi discussed the matter of investing in Tangren with him so seriously.

There was a saying that Tangren wanted Liu Shishi to invest a long time ago, even before Hu Ge, the top brother of Tangren.

Now Hu Ge is a shareholder of Tangren, but Liu Shishi has not made any move, mainly because she is not very interested.

She had discussed with Wei Yang before that Tangren is not developing smoothly now, and she is becoming more and more popular, and some people think that the temple is too small to support the big Buddha.

With Liu Shishi's current situation, she can open her own studio. With Wei Yang, she can't do without her resources. If she really becomes a shareholder of Tangren, she will be embarrassed to leave.

So Lao Cai invited her several times, but Liu Shishi found excuses to decline, and made up her mind to leave Tangren when the contract expires in 2016.

Maybe many people think that Liu Shishi is stupid to do this. After all, she is the number one sister of the company and has made great contributions to Tangren. She is qualified to get shares, and it doesn't matter whether she leaves or not.

But Liu Shishi feels that she doesn't need this little money, and would rather suffer a little loss. There is no interest involved between the two parties, and she can leave cleanly.

But now she suddenly changed her tone. Based on Wei Yang's understanding of Liu Shishi, I'm afraid Lao Cai has made a lot of efforts in this.

According to Liu Shishi, becoming an important shareholder of Tangren is not something that can be achieved by just having a few tenths of a percent or a single-digit percentage of shares. It is completely contrary to the normal operation of entertainment companies to attract and bind artists.

Therefore, in Wei Yang's view, Lao Cai persuaded Liu Shishi to invest this time, not to bind celebrity shareholders, but to say that Lao Cai wanted to raise funds from Liu Shishi.

To be more accurate, it is through Liu Shishi that Wei Yang raised funds and obtained resource support.

Liu Shishi's own small treasury is not small, and it is estimated that it can cope with the funds for financing, but financing is not just about funds. The various resources behind it are the key. Liu Shishi does not have these, but Wei Yang does.

Once Liu Shishi becomes a shareholder of Tangren, Wei Yang will provide some help even for Liu Shishi.

Lao Cai's calculations are very clever!

Originally, Wei Yang intended to invest in Tangren, but she stopped him because she was worried that she would invite a wolf into the house and be swallowed up by Wei Yang.

Later, Boss Wei had PPTV and became a platform, so the possibility of annexation was small. Tangren wanted to ask for investment, but Wei Yang already had several film and television companies such as Blue Whale, Noon Sunshine, Ice Ocean, and Mixing, and was not very interested in the declining Tangren.

So Lao Cai began to take a roundabout route, pulling Liu Shishi into the shares and becoming an important shareholder, thereby obtaining financial resources from Wei Yang.

I "work" for your wife to save dowry, you can't just stand by and watch!

And compared to Wei Yang, Lao Cai believes in Liu Shishi's character.

Boss Wei may not be ungrateful, but as a mature businessman, he is not lacking in decisiveness. If Lao Cai does not do well, Wei Yang will not sit idly by and watch his interests suffer. Even if he does not drive her out of office, he will take some measures.

But Liu Shishi obviously will not do this. Even if Wei Yang wants to intervene, she will help stop him. These behaviors of annexing and seizing power do not exist in her.

So the more Lao Cai thinks about it, the more he feels that Liu Shishi is suitable to be an important shareholder of Tangren, and he wants to bring her into the company.

However, Liu Shishi had already made up her mind to leave, and she didn't care about these mundane things, no matter what Lao Cai said. Now she suddenly relaxed...

Wei Yang stared at Liu Shishi, making her blush and feel guilty.

"Why are you looking at me?"

"If you take this share, whether you pay or not, Lao Cai will trouble you a lot in the future. Aren't you most afraid of this kind of trouble?"

"Others find it troublesome, but Lao Cai is my mentor and noble person. Without her, I wouldn't be where I am today. I will repay a drop of water with a spring of water. No matter how much trouble I have to help."

Liu Shishi explained clearly, but Wei Yang still saw the unnatural tone of her voice.

I'm afraid that Liu Shishi changed her mind because she was stimulated by Zhao Liying!

Wei Yang knew that the breakup last year had a great impact on Liu Shishi, not to mention that Zhao Liying rose wildly and had a strong momentum after that, which made Liu Shishi's psychology fluctuate.

In particular, Wei Yang's move to let Zhao Liying serve as the deputy director of the TV department has a particularly prominent meaning and a profound impact, not to mention that Da Mimi and Fan Xiaopang also started their own businesses.

Suddenly, like a spring breeze, they were all involved in a new track!

Not only did they strive to become artists and actors, but they also began to open up in the direction of capital. Liu Shishi has always been a Buddhist, but this time she didn't keep her mind steady.

Under multiple stimulations, Liu Shishi felt that she couldn't always be passive and defensive, and she had to do something.

But without the two good girlfriends who were both talented, Liu Shishi couldn't make up her mind about what to do. At this time, Lao Cai took advantage of the opportunity.

Isn't it just being a senior executive and starting a company? We can do that too!

If you believe me, just invest in Tangren. I am the chairman, you are the vice chairman, I manage, you film, and we two sisters join hands to make it bigger and stronger, create greater glory, and defeat those little bitches.

Liu Shishi is not stupid either. She knows that Lao Cai has his own little ideas, but she does feel that this is an opportunity.

She knows her character well. Being an artist is okay, but managing or starting a business is too difficult. If she wants to achieve success in this area, cooperating with others is a good way.

Although Tang Ren is in decline now, its heritage is still there. It is still a well-known film and television company, and Lao Cai is also capable. She helps with money and efforts. Tang Ren may not be able to sprout new buds from the old tree and help her beat others.

After all, it is your own fault!

Wei Yang looked at Liu Shishi who was looking at him eagerly, and finally nodded: "It's not impossible to become a shareholder..."

Before she could be happy, Wei Yang's next words came: "However, there are a few conditions."

"you say."

Liu Shishi was very happy. She understood that it was easy to talk about investing in Tangren, but if Tangren really wanted to develop, it had to rely on Boss Wei. There is no free lunch in the world, and demands are inevitable.

"First of all, your shares cannot be less than a certain percentage, and it is best to be a major shareholder. I am not a charity, I am here to help, and your interests must be guaranteed."

It must be clear that Wei Yang helped Liu Shishi, not the Tang Dynasty. No matter how much Liu Shishi took, the meat would rot in the pot, but it was different for others.

"Second, you can't be a hands-off shopkeeper. Later I will introduce you to a senior executive who will become your spokesperson in Tangren."

It is essential to be on guard against others, and public and private matters must be distinguished. Wei Yang believes in Lao Cai, but necessary measures must be taken.

"Third, I hope that Lao Cai's husband will leave Tangren. He can't get involved in the entertainment industry. Only Tangren, which is run by Lao Cai himself, has investment value."

One of the main reasons for the Tang Dynasty's loneliness in the later period was also the change of the head. Lao Cai retreated to the second line, and his husband took over, and then the Tang Dynasty declined all the way.

Wei Yang didn't know if there was any other inside story here, but the apparent situation also made him very unsure of his abilities.

If Lao Cai wants to retire in a hurry, he should make it clear in advance that there is no need to waste time.

Liu Shishi thought about it and realized that it was a normal request, and he readily agreed: "I will negotiate with Lao Cai."

Wei Yang nodded, then showed a smirk and picked him up: "Fourth, Vice President Liu has to sacrifice himself and sleep with me..."
