Chapter 117: A Battle
After saying this, the topic of the two turned to auditions again.
Ning Xiaochen said, "I can't go down anymore, I must take down the role of the second female in "Chivalry" and make my debut with this role." ”
He Shao said: "I support you. ”
**
In the evening, at the end of the day's work, Xiao Xing watched today's audition video in the study.
In fact, he already has a candidate in his heart.
Of the five actresses who auditioned, Ning Xiaochen was the most eye-catching.
Two of them are also good, and one of them is very malleable.
Xiao Xing decided to use Ning Xiaochen after comprehensive consideration.
But when he announced the results to the investment group, two of the big investors objected.
Xiao Xing is also an investor and has a very high voice in the movie.
But if the two investors are against it, he will be a little difficult to do.
He wanted to know why they didn't agree, and he wanted them to accept his decision, and he had a heated discussion with them.
The reasons for their opposition ranged from Ning Xiaochen's insuitability and lack of strength, to the fact that Ning Xiaochen was a newcomer and risky without traffic, to Ning Xiaochen's too much black material, and finally to the end, anyway, he was resolutely opposed.
The two investors even said that if he insisted on using Ning Xiaochen, he would withdraw his capital.
The combined investment amount of the other party is more than 100 million, and if the capital is withdrawn, Xiao Xing is confident that he can attract another investment.
But one is a waste of time, and the other is that it is difficult for him to find such investors who are rich and easy to communicate. What's more important is that they are more skilled in the industry, and their words between the lines reveal a kind of information, if he insists on using Ning Xiaochen, he will offend them, and don't want to attract other people's investment.
Even if he can get investment, don't think about releasing the movie.
In short, using Ning Xiaochen will cause a lot of trouble.
At this point, how could Xiao Xing not know that someone was targeting Ning Xiaochen.
He was silent and hesitated, although he is a very backbone director, he is also a director who is afraid of trouble, and he has to think about the whole team.
He can't afford to offend so many people for the sake of Ning Xiaochen.
can't use Ning Xiaochen, Xiao Xing feels it's a pity.
Just as he was about to compromise, suddenly his phone rang.
It was an unfamiliar number, and Xiao Xing hesitated to connect.
Originally, he thought it was just an inconsequential call, but he didn't expect the other party to say that he was here to invest, and the amount could be up to 200 million, and he could add it if he needed it.
The important thing is that he does not interfere in the filming and production of the film, and everything is handled by him freely.
In short, he won't do anything that makes him unpleasant.
But he only has one request, the second female in "Chivalry" must be Ning Xiaochen.
Xiao Xingqi is surprised, some people want to abolish Ning Xiaochen, and some people want to protect Ning Xiaochen.
This Ning Xiaochen, what a skill!
Xiao Xing felt that this matter made him quite entangled, he liked Ning Xiaochen very much, but thinking of the words of those two old horsemen, he was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble.
And why should he believe his words? What about 200 million, just say it?
Xiao Xing talked a lot with the other party, he clearly felt the sincerity of the other party, and he checked the other party's company under the information given by the other party.
It was a medium-sized investment company in China with a long history, but recently there was a major crisis, and it was only resurrected by a foreign investment company.
Seeing this, he was a little skeptical, can this company come up with 200 million at once?
In order to dispel his concerns and show his sincerity, the other party directly transferred 100 million to his work account.
The funds are temporarily in the banking system, and if he agrees, the funds will arrive the next day, and the remaining 100 million will also arrive at the same time.
This is real wealth, Xiao Xing was shocked by the other party's "sincerity" full of operation.
Not to mention that the previous investors were also wealthy, but it was not so simple to let them pay money, and it took a long time to go through the company's process.
Xiao Xing was shaken, but he didn't directly agree to the other party, he needed to think about it, and the other party agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Xing went to the investment group to talk deeply about the words of the two investors, confirming that he could not afford to offend the person who entrusted them to target Ning Xiaochen.
After some understanding, Xiao Xing felt that in front of art, he could not bow to the evil forces.
He had to stick to his choice and solidify his position as a director.
The two investors were stunned when they saw Xiao Xing say that he insisted on using Ning Xiaochen, and asked him if he was crazy, they all said that he still insisted on using Ning Xiaochen.
Xiao Xing was actually reluctant to break with the other party, and tactfully told the other party that if they withdrew his investment, he would not worry about running out of money to make movies.
Friendly reminder to the other party that this movie is his painstaking work, who are the main creators, let them think about whether it is worth withdrawing for a female number two.
So, the two men fell silent.
Obviously, they are not very afraid of the people who secretly target Ning Xiaochen, and if they talk about friendship, it is not deep.
At this time, Xiao Xing received another phone call, which was from the special assistant to President He's, and he didn't say anything about investment, but just pulled him to talk about movies and industry phenomena.
seems to be chatting without rules, but Xiao Xing is a person who has been in the entertainment industry for many years, and he heard what the other party meant, he can act boldly according to his own ideas, don't have any worries, and he always escorts "Chivalry".
Xiao Xing was very strange, such a high-ranking existence as the He family had no contact with him at all, why did He suddenly care about this?
Zheng Tezhu's explanation is that Mr. He actually admires his talent and is very much looking forward to the movie "Chivalry".
I hope he can have no distractions, play well, and present the best works to the audience and fans.
Xiao Xing was almost moved to cry by him, but he was a human director who had been in the entertainment industry for many years, so he naturally knew that He Shao must have another reason for doing this.
He immediately thought of Ning Xiaochen.
slapped his thigh, Ning Xiaochen is Jiayin's person, and Jiayin is under the He family.
He heard a gossip that He Shao didn't pay much attention to Jiayin for three years in power, until this year.
And Jiayin has always been the main music, and film and television are shortcomings.
It seems that He Shao wants to enter the entertainment industry well, and Ning Xiaochen is testing the waters.
If He Shao paid attention to this matter, then what he was worried about would not exist.
By He Shao's means......
Anyway, under his hands, let's do it in peace!
As a result, Xiao Xing has more confidence to speak in the investment group.
Then, the two investors, emmm...... , Since you are so insistent, then we will take back the previous words, continue to invest, and use Ning Xiaochen if you want to.
They feel that the movie "Jianghu" will definitely explode, and they will definitely make a lot of money if they invest in it, and they don't want to get along with money.
In this way, the second female of "Chivalry" was decided, Ning Xiaochen.
When Ning Xiaochen received the news, he was not too surprised, and his heart was happy.
On the other hand, Qian Xiang'e is different.
