There wasn't any jet lag between Chengdu and Seoul, but they landed in Shanghai again. Chengdu didn't have a direct flight to Seoul. Only some coastal developed cities in China had direct flights to Seoul. Of course, there were also flights to Beijing, or they could take a boat from Dalian.
As soon as Tian Xingjian got off the plane, he separated from Jin Taixi and Han Jiaren. This was not overseas, but in Han. These two people were very popular now. If he was photographed with them, it would not be good for them. Moreover, the two of them had established a management company together, which attracted many people's attention.
The two of them took a bus back to their own apartment. Tian Xingjian had to report back to the company. He had been absent from work for a month, and he had taken a month's salary for nothing. Shen Lie was about to explode. He didn't ask for an official leave, but he had just told Shen Lie to get away with it.
"Where's the script?" Tian Xingjian had just walked into Shen Lie's office when he heard a voice behind him.
"What script? Come in and say, brother, I brought you a box of good cigars this time. Let's go!”Tian Xingjian turned around and quickly pulled Shen Lie's arm into his office, as if the office belonged to him.
"You've been running around for a month. Do you really think everyone in the company is a fool? I told them that you needed creative space to come up with a script.”Shen Lie touched her lips and reached out for the new script.
"Give it another two days, give it another two days. By the way, how's 'Sunny' doing now?”Tian Xingjian naturally knew that the film had already been tested in the company, and the response was quite good. Otherwise, why would they agree to send the film to the exhibition?
"What else can I say? They gave me another 200 million won as publicity fees. Once I win the award, I'll add another 100 million won!”Shen Lie was also in a good mood. He didn't expect to have such a beautiful battle as soon as he arrived at CJ. It was perfect.
"It's indeed a big company. How bold. By the way, how's the cooperation between JJ and CJ?”Tian Xingjian thought about how bold it was to spend nearly 1 million RMB in 2005 to promote the movie. This was not a strategy that would be used ten years later. In this era, 1 million RMB could cover the entire Seoul. If you tried ten years later, 1 million RMB would not even be enough to take down a district. Of course, the 200 million won couldn't be used all in Seoul. It had to be used all over the country.
"Tell me honestly, what's going on between you and those two people!”Shen Lie said with his eyes wide open. His good mood was gone.
"Friends!" Tian Xingjian said without batting an eye.
"Brat, you're still too young to start your own business. Work hard at CJ for five to six years before you talk, you hear me?”Shen Lie was an old fox. How could he not know the thoughts of young people? He wanted to go out and do it alone just after he had some achievements. Not to mention a new director like Tian Xingjian, there were many celebrities. In the end, he still had to go back to his old boss and start all over again.
"How can that be? There's no production team or investment. Even if there are all these, there's no distribution, let alone theater chains.”Tian Xingjian continued to spout nonsense.
"Is that why you want to work with CJ? Even if I agree, do you think I'm CJ's publishing department?”How could Shen Lie not hear Tian Xingjian's words and decisively warned him, cutting off his thoughts long ago. A director was not an artiste. Even if they did not have the resources provided by the company, as long as they had fans, they would always have a market. Advertising endorsements were a considerable source of income. On the other hand, if you had popularity, there would always be people who wanted to make a fortune from your fame.
But as a director, are you talented? But what's the use of having talent without the company's resources? Do you have the money to invest in your own movie? Would the movie be released in theaters? How much cost do you have to control in a small country like Han to not lose money? Han's films were not distributed overseas, so they were basically losing money unless you were a movie with a good reputation. But could such a classic movie be casually made?
"I know, I know. Brother Shen Lie, how much investment can you give me next time if you have a script?”Tian Xingjian didn't expose him.
"Sure, I'll give you 10 million USD. Can you make 30 million for the company?”Shen Lie said with a smile. He knew that Tian Xingjian was quite smart and didn't bite off more than he could chew.
"It's not that I can't do it, but I don't have much motivation!”Tian Xingjian had a sullen expression on his face." This time, I went out to play. I took a plane, traveled, and went shopping. I've already spent all the profits from the script last time."”
