I became famous after I didn't grow tall

Lu Kaiming was interested: "What gambling agreement?"

"Use the return rate of my movie as a standard to determine my future director contract." Wei Lan answered.

After listening to it, Wei Lan already knew the current predicament of Wei's and the difficulties of Wei Mingjie.

Chen Yuanhang should have been the director of Wei's company. He originally belonged to Wei Mingjie's faction. Unexpectedly, the other party stabbed him in the back and jumped to the rival company, making it difficult for Wei Mingjie to move forward in the board of directors. Zhou Wei now wants to support a director to replace Chen Yuanhang's position in Wei's company to enhance his voice in the group.

Wei Lan is a director herself, so she naturally stands on Wei Mingjie's side. She didn't have any concept of family affection in the past, but the Wei couple gave her unconditional support and trust, and she was willing to support them unconditionally.

As for becoming the second Chen Yuanhang?

Wei Lan never thought about it. She had seen Chen Yuanhang's movies. Judging from his performance in "Star Wars (Part 1)", he was not qualified to be her goal.

It's just the object that needs to be surpassed at present.

Wei Lan's goal has always been to surpass herself, not to catch up with the past.

Of course, if anyone could hear Wei Lan's inner thoughts at this time, including Wei Mingjie, they would probably think she was fanciful. After all, with the 2 billion yuan closing of "Star Wars", Chen Yuanhang's status in the current entertainment industry can basically be said to have reached the top. If you randomly pick someone on the street and list a list of big directors, you can count Chen Yuanhang's name.

The only thing he lacks now is a work that will be remembered in film history. Although "Star Wars" has a high box office revenue, the score on Guangying.com is 7.3, which is considered good, but it cannot be called excellent. Most of the good reviews are praising the grand scenes of the interstellar.

Now, judging from Chen Yuanhang's actions to poach a group of Wei's superstars, he may want to achieve this goal in the next "Star Wars".

Lu Kaiming glanced at the gloomy Wei Mingjie and the expressions of other shareholders in the field, knowing that he should give in on this issue, otherwise they would be embarrassed: "Of course no problem, let's do this, as long as the investment return rate of the movie you shoot can reach 20%, we will sign a normal B-sign contract, if it reaches 40%, we will sign the terms mentioned by President Wei, and if it can reach 60%, we will directly give you an S-sign!"

When it comes to the last S-sign, Lu Kaiming couldn't help laughing, obviously thinking that it was a joke that Wei Lan could get an S-sign. He looked at the other shareholders present: "I think this, everyone has no objection?"

"Not bad." The other shareholders thought about it and nodded in agreement.

The return on investment of the movie mentioned here is not the total box office, but the net profit that the producer can obtain after deducting the theater share and distribution costs and the proportion of investment. Movie investment is originally a high-risk industry. Although there are many box office myths with amazing returns, in fact, the movies that can finally get a positive return rate in the entire industry are less than 10%.

The regular cinema share is 55%. The agreement condition proposed by Lu Kaiming is that the total box office revenue of this movie must be at least more than 2 times the investment funds.

Lu Kaiming looked at Wei Mingjie, waiting for the other party to bargain. In fact, his condition was still too high for a new director who had never been involved in the film industry.

As a result, before Wei Mingjie had time to say anything, Wei Lan on the other end of the phone had already replied: "I accept this condition."

Lu Kaiming was stunned. He was really a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers! He shouldn't have said that this director was bold or naive.

"I have a question." Wei Lan's voice sounded again: "I want to know what if it exceeds 60%... or even more in the end?"

Lu Kaiming was stunned when he heard it. It just happened to cater to the market and made a TV series popular. I really don't know where this new director got the confidence. He immediately slammed the table and said:

"If it exceeds 70%, you can set the contract terms!"

The other shareholders obviously regarded Wei Lan's "shameless" as a joke. Lu Kaiming and the shareholders of Zhou Wei's faction even rolled their eyes.

Wei Lan waited for a few seconds, and seeing that no one expressed any objection, he said, "It's a deal."

After that, he hung up the phone.

Seeing this, Wei Mingjie no longer paid attention to the other people in the meeting room, and stood up from his chair: "That's all for today, adjourn the meeting."

...

After dealing with the company's affairs, it was already 8 o'clock in the evening when Wei Mingjie got off work.

There was a corresponding crisis public relations strategy for the subsequent things. The company's stock price quickly stabilized, and the book loss would not be too large, but the negative impact on Wei's subsequent development was difficult to estimate.

After returning to the villa, Wei Mingjie did not forget to find Wei Lan.

At this time, she was using her mobile phone to check the news about the sequel to "Star Wars" released by Chen Yuanhang. The name of the sequel has been decided, called "Star Wars (Part 2)". The original plan should have only two parts, but now a group of superstars who jumped from Wei's have joined, it seems that they want to make it a trilogy.

Seeing Wei Mingjie coming over, Wei Lan put down his mobile phone, and the two spoke at the same time.

"Dad, you said you don't want Wei's investment..."

"Lanlan, that gambling agreement..."

The two stopped at the same time. Wei Mingjie looked at Wei Lan's dark and clear eyes, and his little adult-like demeanor. The frustration and depression in the conference room seemed to be swept away by something, and he showed his first real smile today.

"The achievements of Sword 4 are obvious to all. You deserve the A-level director contract. You don't need to propose a gambling agreement with them for me. It doesn't matter if you don't sign it. You want to make a movie, and we will invest ourselves." He is not a fool. Of course, he can see that Wei Lan will propose a gambling agreement today to support him.

Wei Lan waved her hand and said calmly: "I just don't want to surrender without a fight."

Wei Mingjie was amused by her arrogant look.

"Okay, this movie will definitely sell well, and they will beg to sign you!" As she said that, she thought of what she had mentioned before: "The eight million investment you mentioned before, is it enough?"

Wei Lan's eyes lit up when she heard it: "Is it okay?"

At first, she didn't dare to ask too much. Her ideal was eight million, but if she worked hard to reduce the budget, five million should be enough to shoot it.

"Okay, if it's not enough, you can add more." Wei Mingjie said here, looking embarrassed: "But..."

"What?" Wei Lan asked hurriedly.

Wei Mingjie lowered his voice and approached Wei Lan, winking at her: "Tell your mother that only five million was spent, and the extra money was your father and my private money, she doesn't know..."

Wei Lan was stunned, and her big eyes curved into crescents.

"Okay! It's a deal."

After thinking about it, she stretched out her little hand and made a move that matched her current appearance.

"Let's make a pinky promise!"

Wei Mingjie also laughed, stretched out his right pinky finger, and hooked it with Wei Lan's pinky finger.

The father and daughter, one big and one small, smiled at each other.

'Wei Mingjie's favorability +5'

'Ding! Wei Mingjie's favorability has reached above 80, and the emotional feedback section is opened. The host can view Wei Mingjie's current emotions and historical positive emotions. '

Wei Lan blinked in astonishment, and when she looked at Wei Mingjie again, she immediately sensed his emotions at this moment - full of warmth.

'System, what does this historical positive emotion mean? '

The system replied: You can now see all the scenes in which Wei Mingjie had positive emotions in the past.

It turns out that this system is not only a death warrant, but also has a golden finger, but from the functional point of view, it seems to be for the purpose of better gaining the favor of others.

Wei Lan tried it and chose to view the happiest moment of Wei Mingjie from birth to now, and then a dynamic picture appeared in front of her:

Wei Mingjie, who was still a child, was held in a chair behind an old-fashioned camera by a man who looked 70% like him now. He put his face behind the camera and observed the set through it, with a big smile on his lips.

Through this smile, Wei Lan suddenly understood why Wei Mingjie was so open-minded and supportive of her filming.

Because some things may not have anything to do with money for Wei Mingjie.

According to her understanding, in addition to the entertainment industry, there are many other industries under the Wei Group, which are all Wei Mingjie's sphere of influence, and he has done better than the film and television industry, but he has never given up control of this business, but he has not made any great achievements in recent years, and was also tricked by Chen Yuanhang, which is why he was targeted by the other two directors.

Wei Lan continued to ask the system: Can only people with a favorability of 80 see it?

System: No, for other objects whose favorability does not meet the standard, the host can choose to spend points to view it.

As expected...

"Have you thought about the subject of the movie?"

Wei Mingjie's voice brought Wei Lan back to his senses.

"I have thought about it." Wei Lan remembered the news she had found on her phone before. "Star Wars (Part 2)" is expected to start filming in October this year and will be released around March of the following year. The production cycle is medium to long on average. One reason is that holographic movies save special effects and scenery, and the other is that the sequel saves a lot of time in scene construction.

"I want to make a science fiction movie."

Wei Mingjie was shocked and looked at Wei Lan in disbelief:

"You, you don't want to?"

"It's what you think." Wei Lan nodded in agreement.

Yes, not only did she want to sniper Chen Yuanhang with the subject matter, but she also planned to match the release time with "Star Wars (Part 2)".
