It's not that he doesn't know how to be flexible, or that he doesn't give face, but that face is mutual.
For a movie, the investment is at least hundreds of millions. Wang Yifan himself has to be cautious, and the casting of the cast is naturally also crucial.
If Dai Ziyang recommended someone more reliable, Wang Yifan wouldn't refuse it, but it would be a suffocation for an actress of Qin Ni's style to play the heroine.
But Dai Ziyang didn't think so, he felt that Wang Yifan was not giving face.
However, Wang Yifan still underestimated Dai Ziyang's influence. In other words, Wang Yifan was really disappointed this time with the light and shadow of the times.
Because Dai Xinyue actually came to be a lobbyist.
"Director Wang, this is the artist list and information of the Times Artist Agency." Dai Xinyue found Wang Yifan and took out a pile of information and placed it in front of Wang Yifan.
"What does Mr. Dai mean?" Wang Yifan was a little puzzled, not knowing which one Dai Xinyue was playing.
"Director Wang, you are also a shareholder of Times, and you are also a major individual shareholder. In our movies, should we give priority to our own artists in our era?" Dai Xinyue looked at Wang Yifan and said.
Wang Yifan nodded and said, "Yes, but I remember the previous films. Under the same conditions, I have the priority to choose the artist of the era, right?"
Dai Xinyue nodded, then shook her head and said: "Yes, except for the heroes and heroines. So far, the movies directed by Wang have never used artists of the times. I have never intervened in your movies before. But please also consider it from my standpoint. If we don’t use our own artists for the films we invest in, it would be a bit too much."
I have to say that what Dai Xinyue said is indeed very reasonable.
From her point of view, she is understandable to say so. After all, if her parent company invests in projects that are not willing to use her own artists, it is indeed unreasonable.
However, from Wang Yifan's position, there is a prerequisite, that is, under the same conditions, he will give priority to artists under the banner of Times Light and Shadow.
But you can't just squeeze people over, right?
It is no problem to fight for roles for the artists under his banner. Comparing your heart to heart, Wang Yifan also gives priority to his family.
It's just that this one's own family is not a person of time.
Of course, Wang Yifan may give in, but he will definitely not give in unlimited concessions, especially, why did Dai Ziyang just be rejected by herself yesterday and Dai Xinyue came over to say such a thing today.
"Mr. Dai, I can give priority to the people of Time Light and Shadow, but I also have to be responsible for the film. Moreover, Time Light and Shadow invests in my films. I also hope that the film will be good and sell well, not for the artists under Time Light and Shadow. "Wang Yifan said indifferently.
Dai Xinyue nodded, but she sighed in her heart. Of course she knew the truth, but her current situation within Times Light and Shadow was not very good. Although Times Film’s performance was good, it really didn’t make the exception of Times Music. Other subsidiaries benefited, especially Time TV and Time Artist Brokerage.
But all this is related to Wang Yifan.
"I understand, in short, please try to give priority to artists of the times." Dai Xinyue nodded expressionlessly.
After Dai Xinyue left, Wang Yifan leaned back in his chair and muttered, "It seems that the pressure on Dai Xinyue is not small. Maybe it's time to think about the future."
During this period of time, there was more and more friction with the light and shadow of the times, and the performance of the light and shadow of the times really made him a little annoyed.
The first is the "Legend of the Sword and the Fairy". Wang Yifan doesn't think there is any problem with what he is doing. He is a shareholder of Times Light and Shadow, but only a small shareholder. He is not sold to Times Light and is not a wage earner.
However, people in the light and shadow of the times feel that they are'not kind,' and it seems that everything should be based on their interests.
But how is this possible?
To be more realistic, why did Wang Yifan cooperate with Times Light and Shadow?
If it wasn't for Time Light and Shadow to make his career further and make him more profitable, why would he cooperate with Time Light and Shadow?
But now, the other party of the cooperation seems to have not considered this at all, including Dai Xinyue, has also begun to change his mentality.
But didn't Dai Xinyue realize that the contract he signed with Times Light and Shadow was time-limited? Moreover, the content of the contract between the two parties has actually been completed by Wang Yifan.
Or are they determined that they have nothing to cooperate with except Time Light and Shadow?
As soon as Dai Xinyue left, Wang Yifan's phone rang.
This is his personal mobile phone. Not many people know it. After a glance at the caller ID, it is an unfamiliar number.
Wang Yifan picked it up.
"Director Wang, I'm Lin Husheng from Huaxin, remember?" Lin Husheng's hearty voice rang on the other end of the phone.
"Dong Lin, hello, hello." Wang Yifan said with a smile.
Lin Husheng asked Wang Yifan to talk about things, and Wang Yifan had nothing to do.
The place Lin Husheng met was a private club. When Wang Yifan arrived, Lin Husheng was already waiting there.
However, Wang Yifan sighed secretly in his heart, the so-called courtesy, everyone must ask for something. Lin Hushenggui, the chairman of a company, stood outside the door to greet him. It can be said that he gave Wang Yifan a lot of face. What is Lin Husheng asking for?
"I wanted to have a good chat with Director Wang, but the previous occasion was wrong." Lin Husheng said with a smile.
"Then let's have a good chat today. I also really want to learn from successful people like Lin Dong." Everyone carried the sedan chair. Wang Yifan said this. Although Lin Husheng said he didn't dare to be serious, he smiled. But it became more and more full-bodied.
After entering the private club, the two came to a buttoned window and sat down.
First ordered a pot of tea, Lin Husheng made tea for Wang Yifan himself.
Lin Husheng poured a cup of tea for Wang Yifan and a cup for himself, making a please gesture and said, "Please."
Wang Yifan took a sip from his teacup, then drank it all in one go.
"Good tea, with a lingering fragrance on the teeth, endless aftertaste!" Wang Yifan said sincerely.
"It's fine if you like it! I asked a friend to take it from the capital. If Director Wang likes it, you can take some back." Lin Husheng said with a smile.
"Then I'm not welcome." Wang Yifan laughed.
"Refresh!" Lin Husheng smiled heartily.
"Director Wang, I am here to make an appointment with Director Wang to cooperate with Director Wang." Lin Husheng suddenly changed his face and became serious.
"Cooperation? Lin Dong is referring to film distribution?" Wang Yifan subconsciously thought that Lin Husheng came to seek cooperation in film distribution.
"Not so, let me just say it, I want to invite Director Wang to join Huaxin!" Lin Husheng said bluntly.
"Dong Lin should know that I am very happy to cooperate with Times Light and Shadow, and I am a shareholder of Times Light and Shadow, so I can only thank Lin Dong for his kindness." Wang Yifan said indifferently.
Although he does have frictions with Times Light and Shadow, they are still in a state of cooperation. Moreover, to be honest, Huaxin has no advantage compared to Times Light and Shadow.
