Chapter 701, poaching!
Although he knew that Xiwen Laimer had good intentions, Tang Chong refused and said, "Mr. Laimer, I hope to become Tang Chong of China."
"Oh." Xiwen Lemel was stunned and said with a smile: "I finally understand why director Wu chose you as the leading actor in "Black Man"."
"Mr. Lemel, I hope you are sincere in praise."
"Of course." said Xiwen Lemel. "I like your performances and your personality. Don, I want to talk to you, don't know if you have time?"
"Of course." Tang said with a smile. "It's my honor."
Xiwen Laimer proposed to talk to Tang Chong alone, and the senior executives of Huasheng Entertainment could only help make arrangements immediately.
"Dr. Sun, will people from all over the world dig our corners? Do we have to be careful?" Li Le, general manager of the public relations department standing next to Sun Wenlin, whispered.
"Digging?" Sun Wenlin was stunned, then smiled and shook his head, and said, "They can't dig it away."
Tang Chong is the big boss of Huasheng Entertainment. Do they need to worry about Xiwen? Laimer poached the big boss?
In the small conference room, Tang Chong invited Xiwen Laimer to take his seat. After the secretary Xiaoling gave him tea, he tactfully stepped out.
Xiwen Laimer held the teacup in front of him, leaned over with his big nose and smelled it, and said intoxicatedly: "Tang, I like to drink tea. The aroma of coffee is too strong, and the aroma of tea is natural. I like nature."
"So too," Tang said with a smile. "Coffee is about emotions, tea is about pleasure."
"Oh. I like this statement. I want to write it down." Xiwen Lemel laughed. He looked at Tang Chong and said, "Tang, I want to thank you. You acted very well in "Black Man" and very well."
"Thank you, Mr. Lemel. This is my honor." Tang said with a smile.
"Tang, you are a very talented actor. It is amazing to be able to achieve such results in the first movie - I just praised you as Leonledo from China, but "Titanic" is not his first movie. I think you will have what he has today in the future. Of course, you need a broader platform."
“Broader platform?”
"Yes. For example, Hollywood works with the world's largest artists and has the most advanced shooting technology and production company." Xiwen Lemel did not hide his purpose.
"Mr. Lemel wants to invite me into Hollywood?" Tang Chong asked.
"Not bad. Join the world and enter Hollywood." Xiwen Lemel nodded with great affirmation.
"This--" Tang Chong felt a ridiculous feeling in his heart. He was poaching in front of the company boss, but he was still the company boss - what exactly did these Americans want to do?
"Don, please believe in my sincerity." Xiwen Lemel said seriously. "I will give you the most decent salary, the most comprehensive package, and create more opportunities for you - every artist wants to enter Hollywood, right?"
"Yes." Tang agreed. Every film and television star wants to enter Hollywood because it is the world's top film factory. No one can argue with this. "But if I leave, I'm afraid the people of Huasheng Entertainment will not do it."
"Oh. Don, do you agree?" said Xiwen Lemel happily. "As long as you want, I will communicate with them. I think they should respect the free choices of artists. Wouldn't they?"
"No, I mean - if I leave, Huasheng Entertainment may not be very good at operating." Tang Chong said.
"—"Xiven Lemel was silent.
Although he thinks this young man is excellent and has great potential, too much pride is arrogance?
It will be difficult to operate without your company? Is there such a big-name artist? Even Smith and Denzel from Hollywood dare not say such words, right?
"I am the boss of Huasheng Entertainment." Tang Chong said.
“—”
In an instant, Xiwen Lemel's expression became extremely exciting.
Surprise, frightened, embarrassing, and - unbelievable.
He really didn't expect that he came to China in person to negotiate with a star, but found the boss of a large company. This kind of thing was really ridiculous.
Moreover, his poaching behavior will make the young man in front of him view himself? How will the people in Huasheng Entertainment view him?
If there was a hole in the ground, he really wanted to get in.
Too embarrassing.
Seeing the ever-changing expression on Xiwen Laimer's face, Tang Chong naturally understood what he thought at this moment and said with a smile: "Mr. Xiwen, I really thank you for your attention. As an actor, being able to receive an invitation from a large company with excellent heritage is a supreme praise for me."
"Tang, I am eager to love - haha, I am eager to love." Xiwen Lemel said with a smile. Tang Chong's words finally found a way out for him. Otherwise, he would feel ashamed to sit there.
"Yes. I understand what Mr. Lemel means." Don echoed. "But, as I said, I really can't accept Mr. Lemel's invitation."
"Oh, it's a pity," said Lemel.
"However, I think we will have other ways of cooperation." Tang Chong said.
"What about?" Lemur asked.
"For example, Huasheng Entertainment invested in Universal Pictures." Tang Chong's face was smiling, and his eyes were very sincere looking at Xiwen Laimer's eyes.
"What?" Xiwen Lemer's face changed drastically.
Huasheng Entertainment invested in Universal Pictures? To put it nicely, it was a stake, and to put it badly, it was acquiring Universal Shares.
This young man has an age that is despised, but he has ambitions that are extremely disproportionate to his age.
"I said, let Huasheng Entertainment invest in Universal Pictures, and let our two companies achieve a win-win situation." Tang Chong repeated the words just now again. He knew that Xiwen? Laimer didn't hear what he said just now, but he just didn't want to believe it.
"Win win? What is the win-win method?" Xiwen Lemel asked back.
"Huasheng Entertainment injects funds into stakes and borrows Universal Pictures' resources. The two companies can invest in making movies together, and then pay box office dividends according to the shares."
"This is impossible." Xiwen Lemel refused directly. "I can't agree."
"Why?" Tang Chong asked.
"Don, you should know that if we were willing to do this, countless funds would have been injected in long ago." Xiwen Lemel said. "We will not be short of money as long as we need it."
"So, why don't you do that?" Tang Chong asked.
"Because--" Xiwen Lemel's tone was stagnant. Because his ancestors were unwilling to implement such a business model, what could he do?
"I know the reason," said Tang Chong. "But, Mr. Lemel, do you really use such reasons to block the development of Universal? To be honest, why does Mr. Lemel value the movie "Black Man" so much? That's because the good box office performance of "Black Man" eased the financial crisis of Universal Pictures. You have seen the current situation of Universal. Have you ever thought about the future of Universal?"
Xiwen Lemel's heart felt a faint pain.
Of course he had thought about the future of the world, but according to the current development trend, the future of the world is really not very beautiful.
Seeing that Xiwen Laimer didn't speak, Tang Chong knew that he had already made his mind move.
I am not afraid of him moving, I am afraid that he will not move.
"The one who made this decision was called Mr. Carle Lemel, but now the one who runs the world is called Mr. Civin Lemel. Universal is a company that I admire very much. It has made many movies I like. It should be said that I grew up watching Universal movies. I hope my children can also grow up happily. Mr. Lemel, do you think this wish can be realized?"
"Of course." Xiwen Lemel was just a moment of disrespect, and now it has returned to normal. "I believe that this willingness can definitely be realized. But even if we are willing to accept the injection of external funds, why should we accept Huasheng Entertainment?"
Don Chong did not answer Hivin Carlisle's question, but stood up and walked to the corner of the conference room.
He pointed to a map of China hanging on the wall and said, "Mr. Lemel, do you know how many people are in this part of my finger?"
Xiwen Lemel shook his head. He didn't even know what city it was, so how could he know how many people there were in that place?
"One thousand eight million." Tang Chong said. "There are only a little bit of locations on the map of China."
"Also, I forgot to tell you, but I think Mr. Lemel has known it for a long time. The total box office of "Black Man" in China is 1.65 billion - Mr. Lemel, you should be aware of this. What you accept is not only the investment from Huasheng Entertainment, but also the consumer group of more than one billion and the broad and vast film market."
"Working with Huasheng Entertainment, you will have all this." Tang Chong's words were full of demagoguery. "Tell me, what reason do you have to refuse?"
“—”
Tang Chong and Xiwen Laimer did not stay in the conference room for too long. After more than twenty minutes, the two walked out very intimately side by side.
"What did he say to you?" Wu Shu walked to Tang Chong and asked in a low voice.
"He wants to dig me to Hollywood," said Tang Chong.
"This cunning guy." Wu Shu cursed with a smile. "Then let's go to Hollywood to film?"
