Chen Minhao also imitated Kang Hui's behavior just now and rubbed his temples, "Let me think about it carefully. This 'simple' question really makes me feel a little dizzy."
Kang smiled back and added: "Actually, no matter which side you choose to stand on, the other side won't say it because of face, but in fact it is completely offended."
Chen Minhao nodded and murmured: "But if you become a bridgehead, both parties will undoubtedly be offended. The box office explosion of "Detective 1" should be a good thing, but why has it become so complicated now? I just want to act well! As long as If the script of "Detective 2" is not worse than that of "Detective 1", the final box office will definitely be good, but why do they want to make trouble like this? Moreover, when both sides are making trouble, they want to help me to be forced in the middle."
Kang Hui took a bite of the peeled apple and said, "You just said it, because they are all selfish smart people."
"A selfish smart person?" Chen Minhao snorted and said, "Actually, I have an idea."
Kang Hui raised his eyebrows and asked, "What can we do?"
Chen Minhao said with a smile: "We will be the investors of "Detective 2" ourselves, getting rid of the current producer. Wang Ruozhou and I will jointly invest, and then we will find other investors."
cough! cough! cough! Kang Hui suddenly choked on the half-eaten apple, and she coughed until her throat felt a little torn.
Chen Minhao's bold and almost crazy idea was completely beyond Kang Hui's expectations.
Kang Hui had imagined a scene in his mind where she would bring peace talks between the producer and Wang Ruozhou, and she would respond emotionally and rationally, but he was stunned that Chen Minhao would make such a crazy proposal.
After Kang Hui was stunned for a moment, he began to question the feasibility of this plan: "Will the director and screenwriter be on our side? Moreover, the copyright of "Detective 1" is in the hands of the current producers, and they have the right to adapt it later."
Chen Minhao glanced at Kang Hui: "The director and screenwriter are both Hu Defa. In fact, he had many disputes with the producer during the filming of the script. We can promise him more autonomy, and although the subsequent adaptation rights It is in the hands of investors, but the name of the leading actor can be changed. I have talked with director Hu Defa. "Detective 2" will be an independent story. As long as the leading actor remains the same, the director remains the same, and the screenwriter remains the same, only the name has changed. No problem,”
Chen Minhao paused and said meaningfully: "And we don't really want to kick the producer out. We just give them a new multiple-choice question."
Kang Hui put the apple down, and after thinking for a moment, he knew what Chen Minhao wanted to do, and said one word: "Like!"
Chen Qiang looked confused, looked at Chen Minhao and Kang Hui and asked softly: "What do you mean?"
Kang Hui smiled and explained: "This is the Nash equilibrium mentioned just now. The producers are smart people. They are now struggling with whether to give Wang Ruozhou benefits and how much benefits to give Wang Ruozhou. But if we give them two choices, One is investing and the other is exiting. They are both smart people and they will naturally know how to choose."
Chen Qiang thought about it for a moment, nodded, and said, "In this case, wouldn't we have completely offended the producer?"
"Offended?" Kang Hui tapped his fingers on the coffee table and said with a smile: "Those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be martyred."
Chen Qiang nodded and decided to buy himself two kilograms of walnuts tomorrow to supplement his brain.
Kang Hui glanced at Chen Minhao out of the corner of his eye and thought to himself: "What a talent."
Chen Minhao took out an ugly orange from the fruit plate and said, "Sister Kang, please go and talk to both sides about this matter first, and you can do it as a partner of my future studio. By the way, Wang Ruozhou has a good relationship with director Hu Defa. Hu Defa asked him to do it."
"Okay." Kang Hui nodded, and she felt the weight on her shoulders sink a little heavier: "I will talk to Wang Ruozhou first. The two parties will reach an agreement first, then convince the director, and finally go to the producer."
Kang Hui worked vigorously and resolutely, and made an appointment to meet Wang Ruozhou and his agent Lu Li in a private room of a tea house at noon the next day.
Kang Hui has met Wang Ruozhou many times, but this is the first time she has met Wang Ruozhou's manager Lu Li.
Lu Li is about 1.6 meters tall, and Kang Hui wore a pair of 6-centimeter high heels today. Lu Li and Kang Hui stood together, she couldn't even reach Kang Hui's shoulders.
When Kang Hui was looking at Lu Li, Lu Li, a woman, was also looking at Kang Hui calmly: Kang Hui was at least 1.68, wearing a ruffled one-shoulder and blue jeans. This outfit is good and her temperament is outstanding, but the blood red lipstick color makes her look a bit strong.
Kang Hui pulled out two chairs, asked them to sit down, and then made two cups of tea.
Wang Ruozhou took a sip of tea and asked, "Is Xiao Chen unable to come today because of something?"
Kang Hui naturally heard the implication of Wang Ruozhou's words. She smiled and said, "He has something to do and he won't be able to come today, but I can take full responsibility for his communication with you."
Wang Ruozhou nodded and said, "I know you are busy too, so let's get straight to the point."
Kang Hui nodded and made himself a cup of tea.
Wang Ruozhou said with a smile: "First of all, I want to say thank you. In fact, I know that Chen Minhao has put a lot of pressure on me because he has been dragging the producer not to sign the performance contract of "Detective 2"."
Kang replied with a smile: "The producer was originally not interested in Chen Minhao playing the role of Shao Fei. At that time, you, Feifei, and director Hu Defa came forward to give Chen Minhao the opportunity to take over this role. It is us who should say thank you." .”
When Wang Ruozhou saw Kang Hui being so arrogant, he laughed and said: "Chen Minhao's acting skills are good. If it were played by someone else, he might not have such a good box office. So I still want to cooperate with Chen Minhao in the future. The two actors of ours are on the paycheck." During the negotiation process, I don’t need to talk about the principle that cooperation is beneficial and division is harmful to both parties. I will also help Chen Minhao fight for his interests during the negotiation process.”
After saying that, Wang Ruozhou gave Lu Li a look.
Lu Li nodded, took out a folder from her bag, put it on the table, pushed it to Kang Hui, and said: "If you agree with us in the salary negotiation, we can pay you extra privately. The producer agreed I’ll give you 30% of your remuneration. To give you complete peace of mind, we can sign the contract first.”
Kang Hui picked up the teapot and made tea for the two of them. Then he pushed the folder back with a smile and said, "Who do you think Chen Minhao is? How can we have the nerve to take money directly from you?" Cooperation is beneficial, division is beneficial. The saying "two evils" is very true, but I think we can change the cooperation model."
