my movie universe

Chapter 57 Will definitely win

Chen An smiled and didn't answer. In fact, he had already said what he wanted to say. Nothing could express his mood better than this line.

He understood what Wang Man meant.

It’s okay to make movies for you, but if you lose money, you have to make money back for me.

Sounds like nothing wrong with it?Makes sense, doesn't it?But if you think about it carefully, what kind of bullshit logic is this?The capitalists have played all the tricks!He is only allowed to take advantage and not to suffer losses, and he lacks the slightest respect for his collaborators. If Chen Anzhen agrees, how despicable it will be?
This is not borrowing money from him to shoot, but doing business!Invest!If you lend him money to shoot this condition, he agrees and is grateful to her, but this is an investment. Since it is an investment, how can you only be allowed to make money and not be allowed to lose money?

When he really has no choice, he can be mean. Not only him, but one of them is one. No matter what the reason is for a man to be forced to that point, it doesn't matter. For 30 years, all sentient beings are cows and horses, and for 60 years, all Buddhas, dragons and elephants, except for some who are born with With a silver spoon, who didn’t start by pretending to be a grandchild?

But as long as there is a chance, who is really willing to kneel all the time?Under those conditions, wouldn't it be nice for him to do it for himself?If he treats himself badly, that is because he has no ability, he admits, but what is the point of being willing to be mean to others?
Lick the dog?

Seeing Chen An's behavior, Wang Man also smiled. He was keenly aware that something was wrong in the atmosphere. He softened his tone and said gently: "Don't think that the company doesn't respect you and treats you as a money-making tool. After all, I am just the company's money-maker." tool, it’s just a proper hedge, and even that is risky for the company.”

Chen An couldn't bear it anymore, and said to Wang Man with a smile: "Mr. Wang, what you said is a little unreasonable. I agree that you regard yourself as a company's money-making tool, but that company belongs to you, or if you give me some I would also like to have a share, but I don't have one."

Wang Man stopped talking, and Chen An continued: "As for the second half of your sentence, I agree. Any investment is risky. Even if I lose money, I may lose money if I make a TV series for you, right? Otherwise, I won't It’s called investment, it’s called financial management. I know that you value me and give me several opportunities. I have always been very grateful to you, but I will not agree to this condition. I would rather open my own studio."

"If I make a movie and lose money and then go to make a TV series, then I am making a fool of myself. Even if I am incompetent, I will be responsible for my own profits and losses. But what does it mean for me to be a fool to you? Am I just trying to be safe? That's a bit worthless. , you think so?"

"Mr. Wang, don't try to persuade me. I am still grateful to you, but I have planned to open my own studio after the contract expires. At least I can decide whether to make a movie or a TV series, and I don't have to worry about which day The company won't approve the project for me, do you understand what I mean?"

Chen An finished speaking in one breath. To be honest, these words were somewhat inconsistent with his personality. He didn't like to quarrel with others, especially such sharp words, but he really held a breath in his heart, and this kind of involving Conflicts of interest are bound to lead to quarrels. No one is right or wrong. It is purely a matter of position.

After speaking, he let out a breath and felt comfortable.

After Wang Man listened quietly, she was not angry, but just looked ahead in silence, with a face as calm as water.

After so many years of strong winds and waves, what scene has she not seen?The number of times she patted the table and scolded her was not uncommon, but this time she didn't, and she didn't even get angry at all, because she understood what Chen An was thinking.

Quarrels will inevitably happen when one party's conditions cannot meet the other party's demands. She originally thought that Chen An would agree to her condition, because in her heart, Chen An is still the director who made two movies on the street, and her position in her heart is not. It was quite high, but I heard that his new movie was well shot but there was no specific image, so she gave a reasonable condition in her opinion.

Shouldn't you be grateful to me for giving you the opportunity to make a movie?Like you said, after you lose money, you may not be able to make it back by filming a TV series!Am I wrong?Can you guarantee that every TV series will be as popular as "Sleep"?

But she didn't expect Chen An's reaction to be so intense, and she obviously felt that she underestimated him.

Is it really underestimated?Or did you, Chen An, overestimate yourself?

"Hey……"

Wang Man sighed, and said to Chen An: "How about this, can we talk about it after your movie is released?"

This is the case with some issues. You can't decide right or wrong just by arguing. In the final analysis, Wang Man's dispute with him was a disagreement about his own value. In society, the respect a person receives is equal to his own value. He felt that he had not received the respect he deserved. Wang Man felt that the risk of making a movie was too high and it was only worth the price.

You can say that Chen An is right, you can also say that Wang Man is right, you can also say that they are all wrong, but in the end who is wrong can only be judged by the results.

Chen An wanted to say something, but finally held back, nodded and said in a deep voice, "Okay."

Most of the time, this world is based on strength. In many cases where right and wrong are not so clear, the one who wins is right. It's that simple, just as history is written by the victors.

However, no matter whether he wins or loses, he will not renew his contract with Sky Film and Television. At most, if he wins, he can walk away with dignity.

This is already important.

The two of them didn't speak again. Soon, Chen An was sent home. Wang Man said goodbye to him normally. Standing at the gate of the community, Chen An quietly looked at the sycamore tree under the street lamp and stood for a long time in the cold wind. rang, then turned and walked into the community.

This time he will definitely win.

……

After that, he stayed in the company's editing room for more than half a month. First, he used film to tape, edited on the computer, and then went to other post-production. After the holiday, Chen An went back for a week and then came back again, concentrating on music, art and other work.

It was not until the end of February that all this was considered to be completely done, and then the samples were sent for review, and after the review was passed, the magnetic transfer film was sent to the theater to discuss the film arrangement. By the time all these were completed, it was already mid-March.

The production of a movie is such a long time. Fortunately, there is no need for special effects, otherwise it will be delayed for several months. Sometimes the special effects companies line up and you want to vomit blood.

On March [-]th, Chen An was quietly watching a movie in his house in Shanghai, when a phone call came in, he glanced at it casually, it was Liu Shi, he answered the phone, and said lightly: "Hello?"

His voice is a little hoarse, which is caused by not speaking for a long time. He has been at home by himself for a week. Except for occasionally going out for a walk, he basically doesn't work. He either watches movies or writes scripts, alone. At home he could go all day without saying a word.

This kind of loneliness is unbearable for most people, but he is used to it, and he is very adaptable.

"Chen An, there's news from the cinema side, it's not very good."

"Come over and chat if you have time."

Chen An frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded in response.

"it is good."
