Chapter 464: Reason
Faced with Chai Shao's overtures, Zhu Qiuhong felt very awkward.
But in front of everyone in the company, for the sake of the overall situation, she didn't want to show her personal likes and dislikes, so she had to bow her head and remain silent.
At this moment, Lu Menglin remained silent and watched the other party's performance very calmly.
I have to say that although Chai Shao is a gentleman, he has grown up in the entertainment industry since he was a child, and his acting skills are still quite good, I saw that his eyes were full of affection and remorse, and he continued with emotion: "In order to express Chai's apology and heart, I came to your company after communicating with my father." ”
"We at Chai would like to work with your company to make a legendary game movie together. We have some of the best directors on Hong Kong Island, and my father is the most professional producer, and we are willing to invest 60 million yuan to participate in the filming of the film, and as long as it accounts for 20% of the box office revenue.
And during the filming process, all the resources that need to be used, including actors and big names, we can help mobilize Chai's. This is our sincerity, please accept our apology. ”
Chai Shao's words came slowly, and he said it so loudly that everyone was stunned and dumbfounded.
Especially those heads of various departments, two-thirds of them are people who are begging for a living in the entertainment industry on Hong Kong Island, so they naturally know what Chai Shao's words represent.
If the company's film project can get such unsparing full support from Chai's family, it would be hellish if the work is not popular.
And the other party contributed money and efforts, but asked for so little, this kind of behavior can be called a righteous act, it is simply a direct gift of money to Legendary Pictures.
Even if there is no popular IP of legendary games, I believe that any movie, under the extremely relaxed conditions of Chai's Pictures, can make a lot of money.
For a while, everyone in the conference room was stimulated by the interests in front of them, and they couldn't wait to agree for Boss Lu.
Lu Menglin listened to Chai Shao's words, turned his head and glanced at Jiang Qizhi and Chen Jiannan.
The former still kept smiling, and his mood did not fluctuate much, obviously he already knew what Chai Shao was going to say.
If it weren't for that, I believe that Jiang Qizhi would not risk making Lu Menglin unhappy, and he would also change his way to invite Chai Shao in.
Chen Jiannan didn't seem to know about it, he frowned, not as happy as the others.
After Chai Shao finished speaking, a flattering smile appeared on his face, and he looked like a well-behaved boy who scattered wealth, if he didn't know him, he really thought that he was the legendary person who was stupid and kind-hearted!
Under the lure of such a big profit, it is difficult not to be tempted! He didn't believe that the kid surnamed Lu would not be tempted.
For a while, everyone's eyes were focused on Lu Menglin's face, and everyone was waiting for his decision.
It seems that the first half of today's meeting is actually all foreshadowing, all of which are deliberately arranged by Jiang Qizhi, and the ultimate goal is to draw out the words of Chai's Pictures.
"You Chai Pictures, why are you suddenly so generous?" Lu Menglin was stunned, as if asking casually.
As soon as he asked this, Chai Shao's face suddenly changed slightly, he didn't expect that the surnamed Lu would ask such a non-level question.
Is he a fool? Chai Shao's eyes flashed with contempt
But it disappeared immediately, accompanied by a more humble smile.
Jiang Qizhi on the side also shook his head when he heard it, he didn't expect Lu Menglin to ask such a non-level question.
Why is Chai's Pictures so generous and takes the initiative to send resources and money, the reason is too simple, as long as anyone with a little brain can think of it.
There are other people's tax evasion documents hanging on the legendary game login, not to mention the spread of this horror, just being able to get such a confidential internal document from the other party is already very revealing.
In this case, Chai Pictures can't be convinced. Because who knows what will be on that position next time, so if people want to make peace, they will naturally have to pay the price.
Obviously, the price offered by Chai's Pictures is very weighty, and it is also tailor-made, so that Legendary Pictures can't refuse, as long as Lu Menglin still wants to make that legendary movie on Hong Kong Island, cooperating with Chai's is the best choice.
This is also why Jiang Qizhi knew that some people would be unhappy, but he also led Chai Shao into this door, talking about business, which was due to his businessman personality.
"Mr. Lu, I think Chai's has a certain sincerity. For the sake of the company's business development, and for everyone here to make a lot of money, I personally think we might as well talk about it. Jiang Qizhi smiled.
Lu Menglin nodded, this extremely slight action made Zhu Qiuhong's heart sink slightly, and an extremely bad feeling suddenly swelled up.
Of course, Zhu Qiuhong also knew that the joining of Chai's Pictures would have an unimaginable help to the company's business development, and she had no reason to oppose it, but she still had an indescribable intuition in her heart, which made her extremely uneasy.
Under the conference table, Zhou Min gently reached out and held Zhu Qiuhong's cold wrist, giving his friend warmth and support.
"Okay, let's talk about business first. Chai Gongzi, can you Chai Pictures invite Zhou Xingchi to be the director?" Lu Menglin asked bluntly.
Chai Shao was slightly stunned by this question, and he was a little confused.
The entire Hong Kong Island entertainment circle knows that Zhou Xingchi and their Chai family have always been incompatible, Zhou Xingchi refused to renew Chai's contract that year, and the defendant went to court and lost a lot of money, and the two sides scolded and fought in the media for half a year.
Later, Zhou Xingchi's agent was killed in a car accident in the middle of the night, and many insiders speculated that it was Chai's murderer, but because there was no real evidence, he had to give up in the end.
With Xing Ye's extreme character, his deep hatred for the Chai family will definitely not change for any reason.
Therefore, Lu Menglin proposed to ask the Chai family to invite Zhou Xingchi to join, which is equivalent to Mars hitting the earth, which is almost impossible.
Chai Shaozu was stunned for a long time, and couldn't help but squeeze out a wry smile and said, "Mr. Lu, your request is really a bit difficult for a strong man." Our Chai Pictures is very sincere, but this request is difficult to obey. For the sake of the company and the release of this legendary movie, why don't you change your requirements?"
Chai Shao's words were very earnest, which moved the listeners.
Jiang Qi stopped talking and stopped, looking eager to try.
It wasn't until Lu Menglin glanced at him lightly that he didn't make a sound.
"Chai Gongzi, I can accept your apology, if it is indeed sincere. However, I am not ready to cooperate with Chai. Lu Menglin said.
Hearing this, Chai Shao was shocked, and he couldn't help but squint
eyes.
"Why?" Chai Shao asked rhetorically.
Lu Menglin smiled: "Because I am a person who has a clear distinction between public and private, I will never bring personal grievances to official affairs." Your conditions are good, but I'm not interested. ”
"Don't you dare?" Chai Shao laughed.
Lu Menglin shook his head and said, "It seems that your words have been finished, please do it." ”
Chai Shao laughed, shook his head, and turned to leave.
Seeing that Lu Menglin actually rejected such generous cooperation conditions from the Chai family, everyone present had different expressions.
Jiang Qizhi and several department heads all had undisguised regret on their faces, and they were angry.
Zhu Qiuhong and Zhou Min had a relieved and thrilling expression.
Chen Jiannan shook his head, he couldn't see through this situation, and he didn't bother to think about it.
Xu Ling and Zhong Liying looked at Lu Menglin with curiosity on their faces, they hadn't seen each other for a while, Lu Menglin gave people a completely different feeling than before, the person was still the same person, but they couldn't say what had changed in him.
After being silent for a moment, Jiang Qizhi finally couldn't help but smile and sighed: "Ha! I don't want the benefits sent to my door." Mr. Lu, you are really good at trading!"
Chen Jiannan listened to him with a little prickly tone in his tone, and frowned: "It's nothing to seek skin with the tiger, even if you don't do it." ”
"Ha! What kind of tiger is not a tiger, they put on their faces and hit me, let's bite hard first, and then say, what else have we done to be afraid of wolves and tigers?" Jiang Qizhi shouted disdainfully.
Jiang Qizhi's meaning, in fact, many people present agreed with it, but they didn't dare to say it.
It was not easy to beat Chai's soft, and people were willing to spit out some benefits, which were just used to strengthen themselves, which was no problem at all in the mall.
In the eyes of everyone, Chai Shaolai was soft, this was actually a spoils of war, and he didn't even dare to accept this, and our Boss Lu was inevitably too timid.
For a while, the eyes of many people present who looked at Lu Menglin changed slightly.
At this time, Xu Ling said with a smile: "Lu Menglin, your mind has always been good, why is this? ”
Xu Ling is Lu Menglin's dormitory classmate, and he opened his mouth at this delicate time, in fact, he didn't want others to look down on Lu Menglin, so he deliberately provoked the topic so that Lu Menglin had a chance to explain to everyone.
The prestige of a leader in front of his subordinates is very important, and only with prestige can he do the order and prohibition, otherwise, if the subordinates obey the yang and the yin, then it will not be able to do things.
Seeing that Xu Ling opened his mouth, Lu Menglin couldn't refuse, and said with a smile: "The reason is very simple! First, are we short of money?"
Seeing that everyone was stunned when they heard this, Lu Menglin smiled again: "Second, I just want Zhou Xingchi to be the director! Chai can't figure it out, why am I cooperating with him?"
This reason sounds unreasonable at first, but when you think about it, it seems to make sense.
Because Lu Menglin is not short of money at all! People have Menglin Group, and legendary games are constantly creating cash flow, and they can mobilize large sums of money to inject into legendary movies at any time.
In the final analysis, the idea of making this movie comes from Lu Menglin himself, because he wants to make this movie, there are so many people sitting here, rich and capricious, which in itself does not need a reason!
