This actor needs more money

"What about you, what do you think?"

After just thinking about it, Qin Lan said to Ding Xiu.

Ding Xiu was silent for a few seconds: "If you want to leave, I will help you get the best deal. If you don't want to leave and are willing to stay in the company, no one can force you."

Coming to his side, Qin Lan sat down: "I don't want to hear this. I just want to ask your opinion. Do you want me to stay or leave."

Smelling the familiar scent of shower gel, Ding Xiu didn't speak in a hurry, but waited for a few seconds.

"Leaving or staying is not that important, right?"

"Yes." Qin Lan said: "If it weren't for you, I might have left a few years ago. It's because of you that I stayed in Qin Chao Entertainment."

Ding Xiu didn't expect her to say that. He sighed secretly and chuckled: "If Lao Qin hears this, I'm afraid he will be so angry that he will vomit blood. He will definitely say that you have no sympathy for the company at all."

Qin Lan chuckled and folded his hands on his chest: "After so many years in the company, the company has trained me, but I have also made money for the company. We all benefit from each other. To put it bluntly, I am a wage earner. I work. The company pays my salary, and no one owes me anything."

"Old Qin really wants to be conscientious. Why doesn't he give me an extra 18 million in dividends every year... Forget it, let's not talk about this. If I leave, will you come with me? Let's start a new company or run a business Same studio.”

What answered her was Ding Xiu slowly shaking his head.

"I'm too lazy to take care of things and don't want to start a business. I'm living well here now and it's quite comfortable. But it would be a good thing if you set up a studio. If I can't survive anymore, I can still join you."

Qin Lan forced a smile and said nothing. She just gave it a try and didn't expect Ding Xiu to follow her. She just didn't know why. It was obviously expected, but why was she a little sad.

"Okay, I'll wait for you. When I become bigger and stronger, you can come back."

"Yes." Ding Xiu held her hand and nodded.

…

Qin Lan left anyway, in a very dignified way. The company opened a studio for her and allowed her to be independent without paying a penny in liquidated damages.

She chose Shanghai as her office location.

In name, this studio is still affiliated with Qin Chao Entertainment, but she can take more external work, and the company will no longer handle her business in the future.

Before leaving, Qin Lan returned the shares that Ding Xiu gave her back then without asking for any money.

Of course, Ding Xiu couldn't take her shares for no reason, so he bought them back for her at the market price and then transferred the money, only to be transferred back by Qin Lan, saying that he didn't want his money.

Helpless, Ding Xiu could only put the money into her studio, saying that it would be used as individual stocks and as a small shareholder.

With such a large amount of money invested in the studio, Qin Lan certainly could not give him a small shareholder, so he immediately gave him 30% of the dry shares.

Suddenly, the studio became a mom-and-pop shop again.

Qin Chao Entertainment, Ding Xiu was reading a novel in the office, and Yang Siwei came in with a cup of hot coffee.

"Freshly ground, have a taste."

"Thanks."

It was a bit hot, so Ding Xiu didn't take his mouth. He put the coffee aside and focused on Yang Siwei: "You didn't come here just to deliver coffee, did you?"

"It's nothing, just chatting about home affairs." Pulling up a chair and sitting down, Yang Siwei smiled coquettishly: "Brother Xiu, I heard that you have a stake in Sister Xiaolan?"

Ding Xiu joked: "Why, how many shares do you want to buy?"

"I have this idea."

Yang Siwei looked back, fearing that someone might eavesdrop.

Ding Xiu's smile solidified: "Really or not?"

The artist director ran away, and Lao Qin was afraid that he might have a mental breakdown.

Yang Siwei smiled bitterly: "My dream has always been to be someone like Sister Hua, an assistant, a manager, and an artist director. I have learned a lot in the company over the years, and I am very grateful for the company's training."

"It's just that I still want to go up and feel something I haven't experienced before, so I want to try Sister Xiaolan's place."

Leaning on the boss's chair, Ding Xiu tapped his fingers on the computer desk. Yang Siwei's words were actually easy to understand. To put it bluntly, he had finished his work in the company and had no room for advancement.

It is true that Lao Qin originally thought about how to prevent artists from running away, but he did not want to prevent management employees from running away.

"Do you really want to leave? Have you made up your mind?"

Ding Xiu still asked tentatively. Maybe Yang Siwei wanted to take this opportunity to get some benefits, such as a salary increase, shares, etc.

"I've thought about it, I'm sure I want to leave." Yang Siwei's tone was firm.

Ding Xiu sighed: "When are you leaving?"

"Just within these two months, I need to go through some procedures and hand over the work, and wait for Mr. Qin to find someone to take my place."

"Okay, then I wish you a bright future. Next time we meet, I will call you Boss Yang."

Yang Siwei's smile widened: "Wherever, you are still the boss, and I am still your employee. I am still working for you, Brother Xiu. I am your soldier wherever I go."

"If you go there, the salary and benefits will not be as good as they are now. Have you really thought about that?"

"But there are dreams over there."

Ding Xiu still wanted to persuade him again: "If Lao Qin gives you a salary increase and shares, will you still leave?"

Yang Siwei nodded heavily: "Yes."

She knew that the shares given by the company would not be too many to shake her determination to be the boss.

Ding Xiu picked up the coffee and took a sip. It was a bit bitter and hot. After a few seconds, the aftertaste was sweet.

“The coffee is delicious and the craftsmanship is good.”

"Thank you Brother Xiu for the compliment."

Yang Siwei submitted his resignation letter and left very cleanly. He left alone. He didn't take away a single artist, but took two assistants who were always with him.

On Qin Lan's side, Yang Siwei became the third shareholder. After taking office, he recruited troops and quickly recruited a group of new people.

After she left, Qin Gang hired a new artist director, as if nothing had happened and he would do whatever he was supposed to do every day.

At the end of the year, the Gui Blowing Lantern launch conference was held.

At the scene, Ding Xiu, Huang Bo, Gao Yuanyuan, and Liu Yifei were the leading actors, and dozens of media interviewed them.

Of course, it is impossible for a movie to have only these few actors, and there are also supporting roles that are missing. For example, Liu Xiaoqing, the once popular actress, is now a professional in supporting roles.

She would shoot the film if the director gave her money, but she didn't like being high-profile, so she didn't attend the launch conference, so she contributed a poster.

In addition, there is also a supporting role, the actor Xia Yu, the most low-key actor in history.

He debuted at the age of seventeen and was at his peak. He won the Best Actor at the Venice International Film Festival, the Best Actor at the Singapore International Film Festival, the Best Actor at the Golden Horse Award, and the Best Actor at the Golden Rooster Award.

In the past ten years, this guy has kept a low profile and rarely shows up.

This time Qin Chao Entertainment spent a lot of money, and almost begged him to play a supporting role, and the salary was second only to Ding Xiu.

Therefore, this drama brought together three Best Actors and one Best Actress. Although the first female lead, Gao Yuanyuan, is not a Best Actress, her two nominations can prove that she is not bad at it. Not to mention that her popularity has always been very high. The second female lead is also the fourth best actor. Liu Yifei, one of the female actors, has a super strong lineup.

The audience went crazy even before it started.

"The director knows how to play. There are so many big names. I have reserved movie tickets. I will definitely go see them."

"Finally I saw Ding Xiu and Liu Yifei working together again, childhood memories."

"You have to have good looks and good acting skills. It would be unreasonable for this wave not to be popular."

"Next year's box office champion is booked."

"Let's make suspense movies while they are available. I don't know if they will be released in a few years."

"Ding Xiu, Huang Bo, Gao Yuanyuan, Liu Yifei, the director is going crazy."

"Jiang Wen's Bullets Next Door also started shooting last month, starring Ge You, Jiang Wen, and Chow Yun-fa. I look forward to the collision of the two dramas."

"Good guy, Bullet Flying VS Ghost Blowing Lamp, young actor VS veteran actor, it's interesting, I don't know who is better."
