After the divorce, I became a rich girl

Director Zhang felt as if his eyes were darkening. This Xiao Wang always wanted to cut off his financial support and completely ruin his project!

Therefore, his stubborn temper also came out. As a director, and a well-known one at that, there are few people who don’t have a temper.

What the hell is this? If those people hadn't begged him to join this project, he would have let their small capital come in. Now that Universal Pictures has terminated the contract with him, they are trying to take advantage of him. He has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and he has seen all kinds of monsters!

Well, isn't it just a contract termination? Then let's terminate the contract. I just hope they don't regret it later.

Director Zhang's tone lost its smile, and he said in a calm voice: "There's no need to eat, just come to my hotel, I'll wait for you." After that, he hung up the phone without waiting for Mr. Wang to say anything else.

Producer Wang brought a few people to Director Zhang's hotel room. They all sat down in the living room. Director Zhang's face was gloomy the whole time, and he didn't look at them in a good mood at all.

Director Zhang said directly: "If you want to terminate the contract, just follow the contract. You all have the same proportion, and the liquidated damages are 30 million each."

Producer Wang smiled and said, "Director Zhang, please give me some face and forget about the penalty. Just return 50% of their investment."

Director Zhang looked at Producer Wang coldly. Some people really can't find their position. He said coldly, "Face? Mr. Wang, I already gave you the face you had with me yesterday."

When Producer Wang heard Director Zhang say this, the smile on his face immediately fell: "Director Zhang, what do you mean by this?"

Director Zhang sneered, "What do I mean? I also want to ask what Mr. Wang means?"

Producer Wang asked, "Are you going to completely break up with Universal Pictures?"

Director Zhang slammed his hand on the table angrily and said, "Yes, I am f*cking against you today. What's the matter? You guys at Universal Pictures are too bullying."

The few investors who came with Producer Wang were so quiet that they didn't dare to say a word. They just looked at Producer Wang to see how he would handle the situation.

Producer Wang sneered, "Director Zhang, are you getting old and confused? If you apologize now, I can pretend nothing happened.

Director Zhang said, "Pah! Don't do that! This is our last chance to deal with each other. I'm going to make this clear today. From now on, I will no longer cooperate with Universal Pictures in any form, nor will I use any of their actors."

When Producer Wang heard Director Zhang say this, his face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it. He stood up suddenly and said, "Zhang Wanhe, is this what you said?"

"Yes, that's what I said," and then pointed to the investors sitting nearby and said, "And you, follow the contract and pay the penalty. This is the last time I will cooperate with you."

Then Director Zhang threw out the contract and said, "Sign it quickly, and get the hell out of here after you sign it."

Several investors did not expect Director Zhang to be so angry. He did not give Xiao Wang any face at all and even said that he would never cooperate with Universal Pictures again or use Universal Pictures actors. This was really infuriating! Therefore, they looked at Xiao Wang helplessly.

Producer Wang was embarrassed by Director Zhang. He thought that even if Director Zhang was unhappy about this incident, at least they could both get by with each other. He didn't expect Director Zhang to flip the table over in his face.

But after so many years of being high and mighty in the entertainment industry, Director Zhang's move was undoubtedly a slap in his face, so with a flash of anger in his eyes, he said, "Okay, very good." Then he looked at several investors and said, "Sign it. We at Universal Pictures are going to launch a new project, and I allow you to invest."

But several people looked at each other. They had already invested more than 20 million yuan in this project, and now they had to pay 30 million yuan in liquidated damages. Where would they get so much cash?

Mr. Wang looked at the men and said angrily, "Sign. Isn't it just 30 million? Universal Pictures can lend you the money without interest."

When several people heard this, they immediately took the contract and signed their names. They wanted to get 30 million without interest, so they would do it for nothing. As for when they would have the money to pay it back to Universal Pictures, they would just wait until they had the money.

Now that they have signed the contract, they have cut their losses in time. Otherwise, if they continue to follow Director Zhang, they will lose more than 20 million in the future.

Director Zhang saw that they had signed the contract and said, "I hope you can transfer the liquidated damages to the company's account as soon as possible. Goodbye, I won't see you off!"

Watching the few people leave, Director Zhang sat irritably on the sofa, his anger still strong. He just felt that he must do the best for this project, and he wanted to see these people cry.

Director Zhang took out his phone and called Liang Yusen again: "Mr. Liang, Mr. Wang from Universal Pictures just came with several other investors to terminate the contract. Now you are our only investor."

Liang Yusen turned his office chair, looked through the French window at the flashing neon lights of the Magic City, and smiled, "It's faster than I expected!"

Director Zhang said uncertainly, "Did you expect Universal Pictures to do this to cut off the source of funds?"

Liang Yusen smiled and said, "It's just conventional thinking. The two CEOs of Universal Pictures have been in this circle for too long, so they have developed a conventional mindset, thinking that as long as they withdraw from the project, no other capital will be optimistic about it and invest in it.

It's nothing more than the theory that if you don't kill the bugs, you'll suffer from them! Moreover, Universal Pictures will soon launch a project of the same type as the one you're currently shooting, and they will release it at the same time as your movie, competing with it."

Director Zhang was full of admiration for Liang Yusen at this moment. He was worthy of being an investment tycoon who had experienced the bloody storms on Wall Street. He said, "Just now, when Mr. Wang was furious, he blurted out that they would start a new project and allow those investors to invest."

Liang Yusen smiled slightly after hearing what Director Zhang said. He was not happy about guessing the next move of Universal Pictures. He just said, "Director Zhang, this project is much cleaner now. Now you have more than just me as an investor. There are also Xiao Yi's studio and AT Pictures from abroad. I invested 400 million, Xiao Yi's studio invested 200 million, and AT Pictures invested 150 million. I hold 50% of the shares, and the other two investors hold 20% each. The remaining 10% belongs to you."

When Director Zhang heard about the distribution ratio proposed by Liang Yusen, the anger he had just felt at Universal Pictures' shamelessness had long since disappeared, because at the beginning he only had 5% of the distribution of this project. He was very pleasantly surprised and said, "Mr. Liang, isn't this a bad idea? I'm just filming, but you're giving me 10% of the shares. Isn't that too much?"

Liang Yusen said: "Not much, these shares are to thank you for your protection of Xiao Yi. You can stand on Xiao Yi's side. I know you are under a lot of pressure. I, Liang, will repay a favor."

Director Zhang said, "Then I would like to thank Mr. Liang."

Liang Yusen said: "You're welcome, I wish us a happy cooperation."

Director Zhang said, "It's a pleasure working with you! Mr. Liang, when will we openly cooperate?"

Liang Yusen said: "Ten o'clock tomorrow morning. It's too late today, let those programmers have a good sleep!"

Director Zhang smiled and nodded: "Okay, Mr. Liang!"
