Chapter 112 Sign Six
"Are you kidding me!?"
Zhang Jianhua immediately became unhappy and said, "Although your commission is very tempting, it's unknown how many views this newly filmed web series will get. It's just started airing, let alone a million for product placement, it will be difficult to even get fifty thousand."
It's not like I'm a complete novice.
How could Zhang Jianhua possibly fall for the promises made by the general manager of Dongsheng Film Industry? He said, "Don't try to fool me, I'm not buying it." After saying that, he reached out to open the car door and get out.
"If the viewership is good, there will be a second season. You're the Minister of Commerce, so you'll definitely be the one negotiating then."
A light, airy voice drifted over.
Zhang Jianhua, who had already touched the car door, froze for a moment, then turned around and asked, "Will the company reimburse the cost of getting GG sponsorship from the brand?" As he spoke, he pondered to himself.
If it's reimbursed.
It seems to have some potential.
He got commissions, went out for drinks and karaoke, and even took advantage of company benefits, but Su Qing's words pulled him back to reality: "No reimbursement, you'll have to bear the consequences yourself."
"I'm sorry, I can't play along."
Zhang Jianhua opened the car door directly.
But before he could take more than a few steps, he heard Su Qing speak again, "From now on, you'll be in charge of negotiating any product placements in Huang Min's movies." Zhang Jianhua, who was about to pick up the cardboard box next to his car, froze.
His mind raced, then he turned and got back into the car.
Product placement in movies is quite different from that in web series. Web series might only cost a few hundred thousand yuan at most, while product placement in movies can easily reach hundreds of millions or even tens of millions of yuan.
Even if he spent a lot of money on entertaining guests, he could recoup it through commissions. Realizing this, Zhang Jianhua didn't hesitate any longer and asked directly, "When do I start working?!"
Su Qing took out a contract and a pen from her bag and handed them over: "Now that you've signed the employment contract, you're officially the head of the business department at Dongsheng Film Industry."
"it is good"
Zhang Jianhua neither wanted nor cared about the opportunity presented by online dramas.
But movies are different—he has to have a piece of the pie, and he'll fight anyone who comes along. Without much hesitation, Zhang Jianhua flipped through the contract and, seeing that it was indeed a formal employment contract, he signed his name directly on it. Then he asked, "What kind of projects does the web series need, and how many are required?"
"No limit on the number of brands; invest as much as you have."
This was Su Qing's thought after reading the web series script that Huang Min gave to the company.
Since it's all about parody and memes, there's not much to it. The more brands the better, since a few tens of thousands of yuan can be used to make an episode. If Zhang Jianhua can really get a few brands to work with, he can make back the production costs of the web series "Unexpectedly" written by Huang Min.
"it is good"
He handed the labor contract to Su Qing.
Zhang Jianhua took out his phone, found a number, and dialed it directly.
After the call connected, he laughed and said, "Mr. Zhu! Do you have time tonight? I know the product placement we did for your brand last time didn't work out. Don't worry, I'm not calling you because the company has a movie that needs sponsors. By the way, I'm no longer working at Huatian Entertainment. I've joined a new company. It's not that I need to talk to you, but Xiaoman misses you. Remember when we sang together a few months ago? That girl still can't get over you. Do you have time tonight? If not, that's fine. If you do, see you tonight."
I hung up the phone.
Zhang Jianhua told Su Qing, "Remember the 5% commission you promised me."
"Dongsheng Pictures will abide by the contract."
Su Qing waved the contract in her hand.
"That's good."
Zhang Jianhua opened the car door: "I'm going to work now. Take the contract back to the company to get it stamped. I'm going to Dongsheng Film Studio tomorrow. Send me the address later."
"no problem"
Su Qing responded.
She thought to herself, "This work efficiency is really high." After reviewing Zhang Jianhua's resume and making inquiries for a while, Su Qing realized that Huatian Company had indeed put him in the wrong position.
This person can drink a lot.
He also likes to brag.
There was another key reason why Su Qing brought him into Dongsheng Pictures: with this guy there, Dongsheng Pictures would meet the hard requirements to apply for film distribution qualifications when it produced and released its second film. In addition, this guy had served as a senior executive in Huatian Company for so long and had a wide network of connections.
Spending 20,000 yuan to recruit him into the company is not only a way to secure sponsorship, but also a way to indirectly take back his network of contacts for our own use.
Su Qing took out his phone and dialed Huang Min's number. He didn't necessarily have to tell Huang Min about the recruitment of the Minister of Commerce, but since the person recruited was Zhang Jianhua, he definitely had to inform Huang Min.
Upon learning that it was Zhang Jianhua from Huatian, who had made exorbitant demands, Huang Min's tone became somewhat unpleasant: "How did you manage to hire him into the company? And give him such an important position? He's a lunatic."
The thought of the 20% commission made Huang Min angry.
He lived two lives.
I've never seen such a high distribution agency fee.
"That's why I put him in the position of Minister of Commerce. Didn't your sister ask me to recruit someone who can drink a lot? Zhang Jianhua can drink a lot. I heard he once drank five people under the table."
Su Qing knew what Huang Min was thinking, and she said, "Don't worry, once he fails to achieve results as Minister of Commerce, there are plenty of ways to force him out. He's so old; let him sit on the sidelines for a while, and he'll understand."
"Alright then!"
Huang Min nodded: "You decide what to do with this. Use him if you can, otherwise get rid of him."
"There's one more thing. Are you really going to let my brother play the male lead in 'Unexpectedly'?!"
In this regard.
Su Qing remained skeptical.
"I've said it many times already, it's true."
Huang Min replied.
"It's definitely not because my brother called you 'brother-in-law' a few times!?"
Su Qing was still a little worried.
She looked him up and down, but couldn't see a single thing about her brother that made him an actor. He had the face of an unlucky young man, and when he wasn't making any expression, he looked like a fool. If she had to find one redeeming quality in her brother, it would be that he could blow bubbles with his saliva.
Like a little goldfish.
Disgusting.
Sometimes, if you don't manage to spit it out, saliva will still drip down the corner of your mouth, which is extremely disgusting.
Moreover, he's incompetent at doing things, can eat two or three bowls of rice, and talks a lot of nonsense. In short, Su Qing finds him annoying no matter how she looks at him. Huang Min laughed and said, "That's part of the reason, but the main reason is that I saw potential in your brother's face that you can't see. Just wait and see, maybe your brother can become famous because of this web series."
"He needs to become famous—"
"Be my girlfriend!?"
Before Su Qing could finish speaking, Huang Min asked with a smile.
"I made him work sixteen hours a day to make money for Dong Sheng Film Studio."
