Chapter 1287: Treated as a Distinguished Guest (24)

After the Lantern Festival, all work returned to normal and people were busy again.

The figures of Lao Bai appeared again on the construction site of Huangjia Village.

The New Year and Spring Festival officially ended, but the kindergarten and elementary school would not start for another week. Xiao Bai still had time to complete her winter vacation homework, and Zhang Tan began to spend more energy on work.

The studio next to Xiaohongma Academy started normal operation on the eighth day of the first lunar month, and everyone returned to their posts. Xiaohongma Academy closed earlier on New Year's Eve, and has been operating normally since then.

Before the New Year, several screenwriters in the studio sent their best scripts to Zhang Tan, who read them and gave feedback. These days, they discussed together, revised them repeatedly, and continuously improved them. Gradually, the scripts were basically formed.

Together with "Mo Di" and "Love Letter" written by Zhang Tan during the New Year, plus Wu Shiying's "Heartbeat", the movie plan of the love trilogy will be put on the agenda.

The scripts have been written, and Zhang Tan and several people in the studio have also had sufficient discussions. Now they just have to implement these scripts.

Who to cooperate with became the first question facing Zhang Tan.

He could shoot the film on his own, but he didn't plan to do so. The film industry has a very long industrial chain, relying on division of labor and cooperation, sharing risks, and cooperating with other film companies, which can not only share risks, but also further strengthen the relationship.

The film industry is originally a circle with complicated relationships. Without friends, it is difficult to move forward, and it is impossible to fight alone!

Even if your film can ensure that every film makes money, it is actually more dangerous, because there are always more jealous people than admirers.

For example, this time's "I am Zhan Er", which was released during the Spring Festival, because they did not have a strong relationship with the film company, they always wanted to strive for a higher screening rate but failed. It was not until the box office of "I am Zhan Er" exploded that the film company saw that it was profitable and took the initiative to increase the screening rate.

The popularity of "I am Zhan Er" brought Zhang Tan and Xiaohongma Film and Television into the public's field of vision. While becoming famous, it was also dangerous. I don't know how many people are watching, and there are many people with bad intentions.

Because Zhang Tan had an agreement with Kuxun Video, he had to cooperate in filming every year.

So Zhang Tan's first choice is Kuxun Video, not to mention that he also has some shares in this company.

"I am Zhan Er" is their joint work, and they had a pleasant cooperation during the filming, so there is no reason to give up on them and look for another one.

However, there are many film companies eyeing Zhang Tan, and Pujiang Film Studio is one of them. Before and after the New Year, they were very active and always wanted to know Zhang Tan's next filming plan for further cooperation.

Zhang Tan does not exclude Pujiang Film Studio, but in his mind, he has already distinguished Pujiang Film Studio from Kuxun Video.

In the future, he will first cooperate with Pujiang Film Studio on animation film and television projects, and cooperate more with Kuxun Video on live-action films.

If the management of Pujiang Film Studio knew what Zhang Tan meant, I wonder if they would cry in the toilet! At the beginning, they had the earliest and most in-depth cooperation with Zhang Tan, but because of a few stupid moves, they pushed such a cash cow to others. Seeing "I am Zhan Er" harvesting box office during the Spring Festival and making a net profit of billions, they were really envious and wanted to take advantage of this favorable situation and work with Zhang Tan again.

Tang Hao, deputy director of Pujiang Film Studio, has called Zhang Tan to win him over, and said that as long as Zhang Tan is willing, they are willing to invest, provide people and money for any work, and the project will be completely decided by Zhang Tan.

While Pujiang Film Studio is vigorously trying to win over Zhang Tan, Kuxun Video is not sitting still. They use the good relationship foundation they have laid to further strike while the iron is hot and determine the next shooting plan with Zhang Tan.

On this day, Zhang Tan came to the headquarters of Kuxun Video as scheduled. It was not Kucheng who invited him, but Xiao Ming, the general manager of Kuxun Video's entertainment division.

Before the New Year, Xiao Ming specially invited Zhang Tan to dinner, and the two talked quite harmoniously.

Xiao Ming benefited greatly from the box office success of "I am Zhan Er". Last year, the entertainment division he led was the company's most profitable business unit. Although the Spring Festival has just passed this year, the profit will definitely exceed that of last year, just based on "I am Zhan Er".

For this reason, Xiao Ming naturally treated Zhang Tan as a distinguished guest. In the morning, Zhang Tan drove to the headquarters of Kuxun Video. As soon as he got off the car, an employee greeted him enthusiastically.

Zhang Tan looked at the other person and didn't know him, but the other person knew him.

He took the elevator to the floor of Xiao Ming's office. A beautiful woman in a professional suit was guarding the door. As soon as he came out, she greeted him warmly and introduced herself as Xiao Ming's secretary, who was here to greet him.

Xiao Ming's entertainment division occupies the upper and lower five floors of the building. The floor where Xiao Ming is located is the highest of the five floors, and the entire floor is an administrative office department.

Zhang Tan, led by his secretary, scanned his face and entered the glass door. As soon as he turned a corner, he suddenly heard a neat voice.

"Welcome Teacher Zhang!!!——"

Then there was warm applause.

Zhang Tan was startled to see that both sides of the corridor were crowded with men and women!

These people looked at Zhang Tan and applauded while laughing. Zhang Tan saw Xiao Ming, the leader, in the crowd.

Xiao Ming was also laughing and applauding, and Xie Ou was there too.

Xiao Ming said: "Teacher Zhang, congratulations on your movie's big hit! The box office is booming!——"

Everyone said in unison.

Zhang Tan was a little amused. This situation caught him off guard and he didn't expect it.

Xiao Ming is very good at handling things. Formalism makes outsiders hate him, but it makes the parties very happy.

Zhang Tan is no exception.

He was in a very good mood. Surrounded by so many people and surrounded by applause, how could he be unhappy?

A beautiful female employee brought flowers, Zhang Tan took them in his hand and said thank you.

Xiao Ming said loudly again: "Teacher Zhang is the youngest director in history to break 5 billion box office. Please ask him to say a few words to everyone."

Everyone cheered and applauded.

Saying two sentences is definitely not enough. You have to say three sentences, so Zhang Tan said two or three sentences and added one more sentence at the end.

"It's hard to have a second chance when luck favors you."

Xiao Ming said: "Success does have a lucky component, but not everyone can be favored by luck. Only those who are always prepared can be favored and seize opportunities."

Xiao Ming knows how to grasp the scale. After a simple welcome ceremony, he let everyone go.

Zhang Tan and Xiao Ming came to the office and sat down. The secretary followed them in, made two cups of tea for them, put them on the coffee table in front of him, and quietly left.
