Tao Yushu is willing to invest in Ang Lee, not just to make things difficult for the Wandao News Bureau.

The script of "Wedding Banquet" is very solid. It tells the story of Gao Weitong, a gay man who settled in the United States, who was forced to marry her parents and illegal immigrant female painter Gu Weiwei.

Today, the gay rights movement in the United States is like fire and is still radiating in the white world. If a script like "Wedding Banquet" is filmed, the box office will be guaranteed.

Furthermore, the movies Ang Lee studied in the United States are true, but it should be considered a training from the Bay Island News Bureau.

Tao Yushu specially found his "Pushing Hand" and watched it. The style is very delicate and has its own unique insights on the integration of Eastern and Western cultures. Lin's Film now enters the United States and needs such talents.

Ang Lee is considered a director trained by the Wandao News Bureau. Lin took it and used it directly, without any expenses.

"Prepare a contract for Director Li."

Tao Yushu said, and soon Wu Meizhen sent the contract, but it was different from what Ang Lee imagined.

He thought he was given an investment agreement, but in the end he was a labor contract.

"Madam Lin, this-"

Ang Lee looked surprised at the contract in front of him.

Tao Yu chuckled in writing, "With Director Li's talent, he should still be troubled by investment. We, Lin, attach the most importance to the accumulation of director talents. After Director Li joined Lin, financial problems will no longer bother you.

We will also equip you with excellent teams and pave the way for you to participate in international film festivals.

Director Li should also hear about the strength of our Lin family. Director Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, and Ann Hui, who shine at the three major European film festivals are all under our Lin family.

Oh, by the way, the Berlin Film Festival is recently inviting Yimou to serve as the chairman of the festival jury next year.

If your "Wedding Banquet" is efficient enough, you can go to the Berlin Film Festival to show off your appearance."

Lin's unique advantages really made Ang Lee very excited, and the terms of the contract were indeed very generous, but the average age and film distribution of the contract made him numb.

If this contract is really signed, he will basically explain it to the rest of his life.

Seeing that Ang Lee was a little hesitant, Tao Yushu did not urge him, but said he would consider it.

After leaving the office, Shi Nansheng complained to Ang Lee: "What Mrs. Lin gives you the best conditions. What else do you have to hesitate about?"

"I just—"

"I'm just what? I'm afraid our company will cheat you, right? Ang Lee, don't think I'm talking badly. With your current fame and strength, what's worth the Lin family's cheating?

If you ask about the film industry in both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the Three Places, is there any company that is stronger than our Lin family and treats employees more generously?

As long as we can make good movies, we will make no less money than those big stars.

Not to mention fame, when you make art films, look at Zhang Yimou, who is the three major European Grand Slams, just because they are the Palme d'Or in Cannes.

Take a commercial film, look at John Woo, the movie "The Ultimate Target" has a global box office of more than 90 million US dollars, and is now very popular in Hollywood. Twentieth Century Fox invests tens of millions of dollars to beg him to direct a new film."

Compared with Tao Yushu's persuasion, Shi Nansheng's words were sharper and more naked.

Ang Lee was a dull man. After talking for a long time, he didn't speak, which made her lose her temper.

"I'll take you back to the hotel first, you can think about it."

Shi Nansheng was about to send Ang Lee away, but a noisy sound suddenly came from the other end of the corridor.

"Director Zhang!"

"Hello Director Zhang!"

Zhang Yimou walked along the way, smiling and polite greetings. Not far away, he saw Shi Nansheng and waved to Shi Nansheng to say hello.

Shi Nansheng immediately walked forward and started chatting with Zhang Yimou enthusiastically.

After Venice won the gold medal, Zhang Yimou returned to the mainland to participate in the event for a few days. He returned to Xiangjiang today and immediately came to meet Tao Yushu.

After chatting for a few words, Shi Nansheng introduced Ang Lee beside him to Zhang Yimou.

"This is Ang Lee, the director of "Pushing Hands."

Zhang Yimou smiled and said, "I watched that movie, it was very good, Director Li is good!"

Ang Lee said a polite word in fear.

Shi Nansheng asked Zhang Yimou again, "I heard that the Berlin Film Festival is going to invite you to be the chairman of the jury next year?"

"I haven't confirmed it yet."

Zhang Yimou didn't seem to want to be too ostentatious, and Shi Nan didn't ask more questions after the business meeting.

"Then - you guys are busy first, I'll report to the boss!"

"good."

Shi Nansheng watched Zhang Yimou enter Tao Yushu's office, turned to look at Ang Lee, and saw that his expression was full of envy.

"I'm envious, right?"

Ang Lee withdrew his gaze and looked a little embarrassed.

Shi Nansheng said quietly: "Five years ago, he was just an unknown photographer."

"Director Zhang's talent in movies is rare."

"There are horses that are often found in a thousand miles, but the Bole does not."

Ang Lee looked at Shi Nansheng with a little struggle in his eyes.

"Lin's Pictures is not short of good directors, but you may not encounter a few such good opportunities in your life."

With his lips pursed, Ang Lee made a decision.

"Okay, I'll sign the contract!"

Ang Lee left the Yulang Building an hour later, and Tao Yushu asked Shi Nansheng, "How did you convince him? Have you changed your mind so quickly?"

Shi Nansheng smiled, "What I said doesn't matter at all. It's because he realized how rare this opportunity is to be appreciated by Mr. Lin."

"Don't say these flattering words. You will be the producer of Ang Lee's film. It's a bit tight to attend the Berlin Film Festival."

"No problem, I will cooperate with you."

The main reason for handing over "The Wedding Banquet" to Shi Nansheng is to consider the fast pace of the producers of Xiangjiang in handling crew affairs. After all, it is too close to the Berlin Film Festival now.

Tao Yushu gave Ang Lee a sufficient budget and cooperated with an efficient team, so there should be no need to worry too much about progress.

Shi Nansheng left the office and was about to get off work. Tao Yushu planned to get off work early tonight and have some meals with his family.

Unexpectedly, Tao Yumo suddenly ran over and blocked her in the office.

"I have something to talk to you." Tao Yumo was serious and looked serious.

"What's up?"

"I found that Yulang's current business strategy is really too conservative."

"Conservative?"

"Conservative, quite conservative."

Tao Yumo said with a firm tone, "The account has been 300 million Hong Kong dollars. It is said that it is a three-legged game that is strong in comics, animations, and games, but now, in addition to the comic business having some achievements overseas, the development of animation and game businesses is too behind.

Now."

"The development of these two businesses is a bit slower, but it cannot be said to be backward. After all, comics are the main business of Yulang's organization and cannot be compared together."

"Why isn't it considered backward? If the game business does not acquire Sugar Games, it will only have some agency businesses, and the revenue of less than 60 million a year will only account for more than 5% of the total revenue.

Okay, the game business now has sugar games, so we can not mention it for now.

The animation and comics business are closely related. "Chinese Heroes" was a great success. The box office in the local and foreign countries exceeded HK$80 million, but we could only share 12 million. Why?

"Do you think the Yulang organization can make "Chinese Heroes" a big hit? Will it be so easy without the technical strength of Shanghai and American factories and the promotion and promotion of Lin's family?"

"Okay, then I'll take a step back. The Yulang organization used to have no experience, but now with the successful experience of "Heroes of China", should we continue to pursue the victory? Develop other works?"

"this-"

This is indeed Tao Yushu's negligence. In addition to the first two years of the acquisition, her attention to Yulang's organization has not been too high in the past two years, mainly because the company's development is too stable and its performance is difficult to explode.

"We develop animations, and the surrounding benefits are also very good," said Tao Yushu.

"Don't interrupt it for now. Of course I know that the surrounding area is impressive, but this does not mean that we have to give up the profits of film and television development.

After all, you still don’t pay attention to Yulang’s organization, you just think about Lin’s Pictures.”

Tao Yushu was a little inappropriate when her sister's accusations made Tao Yushu feel a little wrong. She pretended to be serious and said, "Don't say these useless things, what are you going to do?"

Seeing her speak out on her own initiative, a trace of joy of victory flashed across Tao Yumo's face.

"I heard that last month you were planning to talk to a Hollywood animation company about acquisitions?"

Tao Yushu looked at her suspiciously, "How did you know?"

"Don't worry about what I know for now, why didn't you continue to talk to them?"

"What's there to talk about? They have been burning money in recent years, burning hundreds of millions of dollars, but they still have no trend of profit.

The company boss couldn't stand it and wanted to change his hands, but he asked for it too high."

"What does it matter if the asking price is high? It mainly depends on whether there is potential for making money."
