Chapter 470 The company has never treated you badly (second update)
Ning Yu was not surprised by the man's answer, "Director Jiang, do I need to send you a copy of the form?"
"Send me email."
"OK."
Soon, Jiang Zhi was about to open the mailbox when he saw a new email notification, when the voice of Zen Master Yicheng came from behind him, "Jiang Benefactor."
Jiang Zhi turned off the phone, turned around, "Zen Master Yicheng."
Zhan Master Yicheng solemnly performed a Buddha ceremony, "Thank you, Master Jiang, for your generosity."
Jiang Zhi looked indifferent, "Master Fuhui has saved my life, and I can only do a little in return."
"Benefactor Jiang specially came here to see Master off. Master Quanxia knows, and I must be very pleased."
Jiang Zhi was silent, "In the future, if there is a need in the temple, just ask, and within my ability, I will do my best."
Zhan Master Yicheng smiled and shook his head lightly, "Probably it will be rare for me to meet Master Jiang in the future."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Jiang Zhi to ask, he took the initiative to explain: "Before the master died, he had already made arrangements for me and the disciples in the temple. After the master's funeral is over, I will take the disciples from the temple to Daming Temple in Yangzhou.
Yangzhou is far away from S city, benefactor Jiang, if there is a destiny in the future, we will definitely see you again. "
Jiang Zhi was stunned for a moment, then looked up at the temple, "Will anyone stay here to look after it?"
Zhan Master Yicheng shook his head lightly, "After we leave, the gate of the temple will be closed. From now on, Donor Jiang will not have to come."
"Okay, I see. I wish you all the best of luck."
"Thank you, Benefactor Jiang. After finishing the last ceremony at 4:00 p.m., we will send Master's body to the funeral home for cremation.
Early tomorrow morning, Fengsi will leave, benefactor Jiang please do what you want. "
After a while, Jiang Zhi nodded slightly.

Zhao Meimei pushed open the door of the cherry blossom private room, saw the carillon sitting inside, and closed the door while explaining casually: "I answered a phone call before going out, and I wasted time."
Zhong Qin's expression was indifferent, showing no signs of life, "Sit down, you've been filming on a film set recently, so you have to keep fit, I only ordered tofu and vegetable soup for you."
Zhao Meimei sat across from Zhongqin, picked up her teacup and took two sips, then looked up at Zhongqin, "Why do you have to meet and talk?"
Zhong Qin picked up her chopsticks to eat, "Eat first, let's talk after eating."
A look of impatience quickly crossed Zhao Meimei's face, but she still picked up the spoon and lowered her head to drink the vegetable soup.
After nearly ten minutes, the two of them did not speak, only the sound of cups, plates and dishes colliding and chewing.
Having almost eaten, Zhong Qin put down her chopsticks and picked up a wet towel to wipe her mouth.
Seeing this, Zhao Meimei, who was eating tofu without a bite, immediately put down her spoon.
Seeing that Zhao Meimei stopped eating, Zhong Qin took the initiative to speak out, "Why did you refuse to act in "Madame Kyushu"? The company bought the copyright at a high price for you, and it took three years to adapt the script. I won't act anymore, give me a reason."
Zhao Meimei took a towel and wiped her mouth and hands, drank tea again, and spoke calmly.
"Sister Qin, today is different. Three years ago, costume dramas were very popular, and I hadn't won the Yulan Award at that time.
Now that I am the double-award winner of Flying Eagle and Magnolia, do you think it is appropriate to act in an IP network drama that is not popular? "
Zhong Qin picked up her teacup and lowered her head to take a sip, "When you tried to persuade me and the company's board of directors to pay a high price to **** the copyright of "Mrs. Kyushu" from TV S, did I remind you? What did you say?"
Zhao Meimei defended with a bad face: "If I bought the copyright at that time and started shooting immediately, I would definitely make a lot of money!
Speaking of which, it’s also your fault. If you hadn’t had to wait for Hanyan to adapt it, and waited for a year in vain, and then bumped into the radio station’s ban on ancient times, it wouldn’t have been delayed until today! "
Zhong Qin always looked calm, neither happy nor angry, "Zhao Meimei, it was a joint decision between you and me, as well as the entire project team, to ask Han Yan to do the adaptation, and it was not my will."
"But then Han Yan didn't have time, I said to change to other things, but you refused to change!"
""Madame Kyushu" cost 10 million yuan in copyright fees alone, and the investment in follow-up filming and publicity is no less than 80 million yuan, and the investment of nearly 100 million yuan. If you just find a screenwriter who has no experience in costume dramas to adapt it, you will be screwed. Responsible?"
Zhao Meimei's face turned cold, "Sister Qin, to tell you the truth, I have decided to fight for the number one female lead in the show "Happy Family" and compete for next year's Golden Peacock Award.
Not only was "Mrs. Kyushu" rejected by me, I also rejected all the scripts handed over by other directors. "
Zhong Qin smiled, "It's good to have goals and ambitions, as your manager and company leadership, I will fully support you.
But can you think from the perspective of me and the company? "Madame of Kyushu" is the leading actress, and you are the only female artist in the company who can play the leading role.
This show has been dragged on for three years, and a lot of preparations and announcements in the early stage have been in vain. If you go outside to invite popular actresses to play the role, you will spend at least 20 million more, and you may not be able to get it.
The company has made you a top-notch domestic leader. Shouldn't you also give back to the company? "
Zhao Meimei smiled softly, "Sister Qin, it is true that the company has cultivated me, and I am also very grateful for what you and the company have done for me over the years.
But I did not take the company's resources for nothing, nor did I live up to the expectations of the directors and shareholders.
In these years, the profit I created for the company by myself is casually one billion, right?
Go outside and ask, among female artists like me, who has an annual income of not more than 100 million, or even hundreds of millions?
Since I joined the company, all the incomes add up to less than 200 million, which is still before tax!
No one will believe me when I say it. It is rumored that I am a rich woman with a net worth of over one billion. "
Zhong Qin looked at her, and calmly explained: "At the beginning, you asked to sign the long-term contract. You said that you would make money for the company to pay off the debts, and all the income sharing was also set by you.
In the first three years since the establishment of the company, you were the only artist in the entire company, and all resources and publicity were used to praise you.
Also, you said just now that your combined income is less than 200 million yuan, and that is only in terms of income as an artist.
When the company was established, Mr. Lin gave you and me 5% of the shares respectively. You didn't pay a penny for the 5% of the shares.
You can share 5% of every penny earned by all contracted artists of the company for the company. Not only that, you can also get 5% of the profits of all the company's investment projects.
Meimei, the company has never treated you badly. "
Zhao Meimei's face was unnatural for a moment, "Okay, let's not talk about these for now, you think it's not impossible for me to take the role in "Mrs. Kyushu", but I have a request."
The two have been partners for nearly ten years and know each other very well.
Even before Zhao Meimei said anything, Zhong Qin guessed the other party's intention.
"How much do you want to be paid?"
“I just ask the company to treat me equally, and give me as much as it gives to others.”
By drinking tea, Zhong Qin concealed the ridicule in her eyes.
