Huo Qiliang laughed, his expression actually looked a little cowardly, in front of Ye Jintang, he didn't have the usual conversation and laughter to sway freely, and said respectfully: "Mr. Ye, do you know that we are currently filming "Storm on the Sea", right?"

Ye Jintang smiled and shook his head and said, "I don't have to ask about the specific business of Jincheng. There is nothing wrong with his words, he is such a big boss, and his business is not only Jincheng Pictures, so he can't make any movies in Jincheng clearly.

Zong Baoyuan hurriedly followed and said: "Brother-in-law, "Sea Storm" is our key project in Jincheng this year, which is scheduled for next year's Chinese New Year, and is currently being filmed intensively, ready to be taken to France to impact the Golden Palm Award." ”

Ye Jintang said: "Okay!" After speaking, there was no follow-up.

Huo Qiliang originally expected Ye Jintang to take the initiative to ask if there were any difficulties and whether he needed help, but he didn't ask, so he had to take the initiative to say: "It's just that there are some problems with funds at present." ”

Ye Jintang laughed, he smiled, Huo Qiliang and Zong Baoyuan both laughed.

Ye Jintang said: "How much is it missing?"

Huo Qiliang said: "At present, there is still a funding gap of 100 million. ”

Zhang Daxian was astonished that it costs so much money to make a movie? This is not a total investment, but a funding gap of 100 million.

Ye Jintang said to Zong Baoyuan: "What is the initial budget for the movie?"

Elder Zong Bao replied honestly: "One hundred and fifty million. ”

"Does it include publicity?"

Zong Baoyuan nodded.

Ye Jintang said: "That is, the funding gap is close to half, how did you budget in the first place? The error is too big!" His voice was unhurried, and he still had a smile on his face, but his words clearly meant blame.

Zong Baoyuan knows his brother-in-law very well, this is a smiling tiger, he looks approachable on the surface, but in fact he is shrewd and difficult to deal with.

Huo Qiliang said: "Mr. Ye, that's the case, considering the reason for the Chinese New Year, I added a lot of war scenes to this movie to attract more audiences to the theater, after all, the current movie trend is large-scale and large-scale scenes, and war scenes are very expensive." ”

Ye Jintang raised his wine glass to Zhang Chi, and Zhang Chi hurriedly accompanied him to have a drink. Ye Jintang actually drank this cup, Huo Qiliang could see it clearly, Zhang Chi was heavier than himself in Ye Jintang's heart, he just took a sip when he drank with him just now, and Zhang Chi drank it when he was dry, Huo Qiliang is also a person who is used to seeing scenes, and when he saw this scene, he realized that this money may not be easy to want.

Ye Jintang put down the wine glass, and Zhang Chi hurriedly got up and poured the wine for him.

Ye Jintang said: "If I'm not mistaken, Director Huo doesn't seem to have set foot in the field of war films. ”

Huo Qiliang was a little embarrassed by his question, people said it tactfully, but the meaning was very clear, you are not good at war movies, what war scenes are you filming?

Zong Baoyuan said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, for an international director like Director Huo, he is familiar with any theme, and I have read the script of the sea storm, which is definitely an ambitious work." ”

Ye Jintang smiled and repeated: "Ambitious work?"

Zong Baoyuan laughed twice, it's not easy to speak, brother-in-law has something to say.

Huo Qiliang said: "Mr. Ye, I am confident that my investment in this film will give the company a huge return, and I have a VAM agreement with the company. ”

Ye Jintang glanced at his daughter and said, "Wash your eyebrows and tell me your opinion." ”

Ye Ximei said: "I am a layman to the movie, but I think this kind of sudden increase in the budget is not advisable, if the budget is 250 million when the project is first established, it may not be able to pass the review of the company's board of directors, for us, we are just investors, and now we are halfway through the investment, Director Huo suddenly told us to make additional investment, what will happen if we don't invest? Is there a possibility that this project will be unfinished?"

Ye Jintang looked at his daughter appreciatively and said with a smile: "This only represents your own opinion." ”

Huo Qiliang's face flushed, and Zong Baoyuan secretly shouted that it was not good, it seemed that today's additional investment was going to be in vain.

Ye Jintang said: "Zhang Chi also said a few words. ”

Zhang Daxian said: "I? I don't know anything about film and television. ”

Ye Jintang encouraged him: "Say whatever you want, just like your childlike words." ”

Zhang Chi laughed: "I believe in Director Huo's ability, if I have money, I will vote for him." "The money is not his, 100 million is nothing to Ye Jintang, the key is that the heroine of the movie is Xiao Jiujiu, and the big production is good for her, Zhang Daxian is still very selfish, but he still has an idea, anyway, he doesn't count what he said, looking at the attitude of Ye Jintang's father and daughter, there is no intention of additional investment at all, in this case, it is better to be a good person in front of Huo Qiliang, and it can be regarded as a reward for him to promote Xiao Jiujiu.

Ye Jintang smiled and said: "Since my godson said it, then it is decided, but since we have done it, we must make the plate the largest, not only to award awards, but also to point to the champion of the Lunar New Year file, an additional 150 million, not including publicity." ”

Happiness came too suddenly, Huo Qiliang could hardly believe his ears, he thought there was no hope, but because of Zhang Chi's words, Ye Jintang actually changed his attitude and added a large amount of investment to himself, Huo Qiliang's excitement was overflowing: "Thank you, Mr. Ye." ”

Ye Jintang laughed and said, "You should thank Zhang Chi, it was my godson who persuaded me." ”

Zhang Daxian blinked a pair of confused little eyes, I don't carry this pot, I just said casually, how can I convince you? I don't believe it, I don't believe it, I don't believe it if I kill you.

After drinking at noon, Ye Ximei sent Zhang Chi back, Zhang Chi asked about it, Ye Ximei laughed: "This matter really has nothing to do with you, what did Uncle Huo Qiliang do here, can Dad still be unclear? Brother-in-law has been having a hard time recently, last time because of Hua Cheng's matter, my mother scolded him severely, but he will be honest in a few days and will relapse into his old ways, join the war drama, and additional investment are all his ideas, Dad knew before he came over today." ”

Zhang Chi already understood when he heard this, the father and daughter were singing a big drama of wanting to catch the old and indulge, if Zong Baoyuan was caught in pigtails again because of this 150 million, I am afraid that he would be completely out. Ye Jintang's routine is deep, Ye Ximei didn't tell himself when he knew, and in the end, he was the only one who was kept in the dark.

Ye Ximei noticed his resentful little eyes: "Are you angry?"

Zhang Chi said: "Don't be angry, if the investment fails in the future, will I also have to bear a responsibility?"

Ye Ximei laughed: "It has nothing to do with you, Dad just pushed the boat down the river and took advantage of you." ”

"Why? It's too much of a bully!"

Ye Ximei glanced at him charmingly: "I'll compensate you!"

Shidu Town's old Song and Xiao Wang made a special trip to find Zhang Chi, and brought him 50,000 yuan, which was to thank Zhang Chi for his help to them, because Zhang Chi introduced them to Cao Ruihai, the president of the Beijing Songworm Association, and made a lot of money in this year's autumn insect trade, how could Zhang Chi ask for their money, not only did not ask for them, but also invited them to have a meal, and won the thousand years of grace and fruit, Zhang Daxian is a person with clear grievances, when he was in trouble, fortunately people showed him the way and took him out of the mountains.

Lao Song and the two were very happy, and told Zhang Chi that they would stay in the capital for two more days, and they would invite the Songworm Association to dinner to deepen their relationship, which was of course as it should be, after all, after taking a smooth path, sales would no longer be a problem.

There is always joy and sorrow in the world, and the next day Lao Song and Xiao Wang were beaten for no reason, both of them went to the hospital, and Lao Song's right arm was broken.

Zhang Chi went to visit them as soon as he heard about it, Xiao Wang insisted that Luo Gensheng did it, in fact, the police had already understood the situation, Luo Gensheng had alibi evidence, and the suspicion had been ruled out, this kind of case was very tricky, the two were ambushed on the way back to the hotel at night, and the other party used a sack to cover their heads is a violent beating, especially to avoid public security monitoring.

Xiao Wang, who had a blue nose and swollen face, said: "It must be him, there is no one else except him, in the past, our goods were sold to the capital through him, but now we sell them ourselves, he thinks that we have cut off his financial route, so he is looking for someone to attack us." ”

Lao Song was more rational than Xiao Wang, and sighed and said: "There is no way to attract jealousy, the police said that they would find the murderer as soon as possible, I'm sorry, Brother Zhang, I made you worry about us." ”

After Zhang Chi comforted the two, he left the hospital, and just out of the gate of the hospital, he received a call from Fan Shiming, Fan Shiming also heard about the two being beaten, and told Zhang Chi that the car they had together that night, he and Cao Ruihai's cars were scratched, and no one could be found, so they could only report to the insurance to admit their bad luck.

Zhang Chi felt a little angry in his heart, after all, he was the middle introducer, he apologized to Lao Fan, Lao Fan didn't blame him, reminded him to be careful, they are all people who understand and know the Tao in this.

Zhang Chi first asked Lu Jianqiang, Lu Jianqiang told him that this case is not easy to investigate, it should have been targeted by someone for a long time, and the deliberate revenge is not an emergency, and from all indications, it is a veteran, according to the clues provided by Xiao Wang, the police also investigated Luo Gensheng, and there is alibi evidence, all in all, this kind of thing is not easy to investigate, it does not belong to Lu Jianqiang's jurisdiction, he can only help urge.

Zhang Chi came to the Beijing Songworm Market alone, because it has now entered the off-season, the Songworm Market is cold during the day, Luo Gensheng is a little famous in the market, Zhang Chi didn't take much time to find Luo Gensheng's store.

The door is not big, and a group of people inside are playing cards, because they are all swallowing clouds and spitting fog, making the room smoky.

Zhang Chi came to the door and looked inside.

attracted Luo Gensheng's attention, Luo Gensheng raised his head and saw that it was him, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, after all, the psychological shadow brought to him by this guy was too great, but he immediately calmed down, his eyes continued to stare at the cards, and said loudly: "Bomb!"

scolded at the door: "Blow up your paralysis, you blow up my cards too!"

Zhang Daxian knocked on the glass door: "Luo Gensheng, come out." ”

Several people turned their heads at the same time, among them were several familiar faces, and Long Hair, who was fighting against Luo Gensheng, was also one of the people who chased him in the barbecue life last time, when these people were teased enough by Zhang Chi. However, Zhang Chi was thinner and taller than when they met, and he was also darker, and he didn't dare to recognize the long hair at first sight.

Luo Gensheng whispered, and several people stood up at the same time, and said menacingly: "Yo, buddy is fat, he actually came to the door." ”

Zhang Chi didn't even look at him: "I'm not looking for you, I'm looking for Luo Gensheng." ”

Long Mao swaggered over with the others, crossed his waist, and said with a raised face: "Gensheng is my brother, and if you want to trouble him, you are troublesome to me, don't think I don't know you, you are the one who pits 100,000 people, right?"

Zhang Chi smiled and said, "It's me!"

Long Hair reached out to pull Zhang Chi's collar, and when his hand reached halfway, his index finger was grabbed by Zhang Chi and twisted slightly.

"Oops!" pounced and knelt down for Zhang Chi.

This group of people is just a merchant in the Songworm Market, don't look at the society dressed up one by one, in fact, they are not ruthless people, relying on the large number of people and showing off their power on their own territory, they really run faster than anyone else when they encounter hard stubble.

The others stepped forward to surround Zhang Chi and save Changmao, Zhang Daxian added a little force to his hand, and Changmao screamed in pain like killing a pig: "Let go, let go...... Broken...... Broken...... ...... all."

Zhang Chi sighed and said, "Luo Gensheng, let me talk to you, what are you doing with the people? It has nothing to do with other people." ”

Longhair shouted, "Let go of me, it's okay with me......"

Zhang Chi smiled and said: "Didn't you just be quite awesome? Don't think that you are invincible if you have a long hair and a tattoo, I look down on people like you, and it is not good to be a law-abiding citizen? I have to learn from society, and I don't know how to die in the future." ”

Zhang Chi let go of his fingers, Long Mao rubbed his hands and took a step back, then suddenly grabbed the chair with both hands and rushed towards Zhang Chi.

Zhang Daxian had been prepared for his actions, kicked out, the chair was kicked by him and scattered to the ground, Long Hair sat on the ground with a butt holding the chair, and the others saw that the momentum was wrong and wanted to escape, but Zhang Chi blocked the door, and no one could get out.

Zhang Chi said: "Luo Gensheng, come here!"

Logan walked over stiffly: "Don't come nonsense, there is a police station next to it, I can call the police." ”

Zhang Chi smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "What are you afraid of? I'm not here to beat people, you all go, it has nothing to do with you." ”

Hearing Zhang Chi say this, a group of people were relieved, and they rushed to flee one by one like grease on the soles of their feet, and Luo Gensheng said in a trembling voice: "Don't come nonsense......"

Zhang Chi said: "Don't be afraid, I'm here to ask, what happened to Lao Song and Xiao Wang? Who did it?"

Luo Gensheng said: "It's not me, the police have investigated, and I have alibi evidence." ”

Zhang Chi smiled: "That's it." He touched a mantra pill, pinched Luo Gensheng's neck and forcibly stuffed him, Luo Gensheng struggled desperately, but his little chick strength didn't play any role in front of Zhang Chi.
