With money, Chen Xiao naturally won't hold it in his hands.

The first thing to do at the box office was to please, Chen Xiao took out 300 million and handed it to Wu Yang.

Yes, at this time, you must take care of your old business first.

As for the traditional cinema chain, even if the one billion is taken out, it will not increase much strength, and it is better to take out some of it to consolidate its status as a drive-in theater.

As for why he gave the money to Wu Yang instead of Shen Yan.

That's because Wu Yang is more familiar with drive-in theaters, and he also has more experience in site selection and the like.

Although Wu Yang seems to be just an errand runner, it is also the reason why Chen Xiao trusts him more.

Of course, Wu Yang has been looking forward to this time for a long time, and immediately said on the phone that we must build our drive-in theater in the blank space.

By this time, Wu Yang had already regarded drive-in theaters as his own business.

Handed over to Wu Yang, Chen Xiao himself was relieved.

Of course, this matter still has to go through Shen Yan, so Chen Xiao asked Wu Yang to contact Shen Yan by himself, and it would be good to discuss some situations directly with Shen Yan in the future.

Chen Xiao said: "Wu Yang, we are brothers, but what about Shen Yan, he is more experienced than us in theater management, so you can discuss with him in terms of site selection." ”

As soon as the words changed, Chen Xiao said: "But if there is really something that you value more and Shen Yan disagrees, you can just find me directly when the time comes, and I will talk to him." ”

Although Chen Xiao and Wu Yang have a close relationship, they still don't give him the right to be arbitrary, they just say that they will help him and Shen Yan.

Maybe Chen Xiao can also say to Wu Yang: If Shen Yan really disagrees, you can decide for yourself according to your own ideas.

But Chen Xiao didn't say that.

Otherwise, it may be really unpleasant in the end, and Shen Yan will also feel constrained by Chen Xiao.

This is also detrimental to the management of the company.

Although Chen Xiao is not very proficient in how to manage the company, he still knows some things.

The company is not a Juyi Hall, this requires rules, even Chen Xiao himself has to abide by it.

However, Wu Yang didn't think that Chen Xiao forgot the old man when he had a newcomer, just Chen Xiao's sentence that we are brothers is enough.

He knows how much he can do and how much he can do, so he doesn't feel uncomfortable.

Wu Yang said: "I understand what you mean, I have no interest in the management of the cinema chain, and you know what I want to do now, which is to open a few more theaters, so ah, if you have money in the future, just give it to me, and I will help you open a theater." ”

Wu Yang's words still have a bit of a playful taste, which he really doesn't care.

Chen Xiao smiled: "With you watching the theater, of course I am relieved." ”

Wu Yang: "I'm still waiting for you to invite me to eat hot pot during the New Year." ”

"Haha, open to eat, I'm afraid you won't be able to finish it by then. ”

......

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xiao began to arrange the shooting plan for the next movie.

Yes, judging from the current situation, doing nothing is as fast as making movies.

Then the next day, Chen Xiao called Sun Xutao over.

"Resident Evil" has now been scheduled to be released, so Sun Xutao is naturally idle again now.

When he came to see Chen Xiao, Sun Xutao thought that Chen Xiao was asking him how he was doing in the crew of "Resident Evil", but he didn't expect Chen Xiao to ask anything, but directly gave him a script.

"What is this?"

Sun Xutao had some vague guesses, but he still didn't dare to believe it.

"This is the script I just wrote, you can read it, and if there is no problem, I will leave it to you to shoot. ”

Really.

Sun Xutao was a little excited, did he really have such a day?

Can you really host and shoot a movie yourself?

He looked at Chen Xiao, who just motioned for him to open it and take a look.

At this time, he was really glad that he was able to meet Chen Xiao, and he was remembered by Chen Xiao when he was shooting the MV for Chen Xiao.

It has always been his dream to make films independently.

It's not the immature casual dream of wanting to be a scientist when I was a child, but the kind of dream that I have been working in this direction for many years but has never been able to reach.

But then he met Chen Xiao, and then followed Chen Xiao to shoot "Charlotte's Troubles".

This was his first exposure to film, but it also made him more determined in his goals, but it was also the first time that he felt that his dream was so close to him.

And now, all his dreams are on these pieces of paper in his hands.

Slowly opening the script, Sun Xutao looked at the name of the script, "The Richest Man in Xihong City".

Yes, it seems that this movie is about a rich man, and this kind of movie should be a comedy, but thinking of the previous "Charlotte's Troubles", Sun Xutao feels that it should not be so simple.

Sure enough, after watching it slowly, Sun Xutao fell silent.

Sun Xutao admits that this script is wonderfully written, and if it is really filmed, it may be more popular than "Charlotte's Troubles".

But that's not what silences him, the reason why he's really silent is because of the cost of this script.

This...... It seems that tens of millions are not enough at all, right?

Could it be that Chen Xiao did not estimate the cost of this movie?

As for Chen Xiao, he will spend hundreds of millions of dollars in investment to let him shoot?

Sun Xutao hasn't thought about it, but it seems a little unlikely, which company is willing to spend hundreds of millions of capital to train a rookie director at once?

Yes, he felt that the first film he shot must have been a small-budget film to practice his skills.

So now, Sun Xutao was a little surprised, and he couldn't figure out Chen Xiao's purpose.

Could it be that Chen Xiao made this movie in order to see how he could control the cost?

couldn't help but think so much about Sun Xutao, he really regarded Chen Xiao as too important.

In the end, Sun Xutao said cautiously: "Mr. Chen, if I try my best to make this movie, I can control the cost at 80 million." ”

"Huh?"

Seeing Chen Xiao frowning, as if he was a little unhappy, Sun Xutao hurriedly said: "If there is less, there may be no way to watch the movie." ”

What is this?

Chen Xiao felt that Sun Xutao must be crooked, is he missing tens of millions?

You must know that he is now more than a billion, and it is the time when his waist is stiff, isn't it insulting?

So Chen Xiao said: "Where is 80 million enough? I have also calculated the cost of this movie, I will give you 150 million, but you must shoot it well." ”

"150 million?"

Sun Xutao was completely shocked, it was really 150 million, and he was able to get more than 100 million shooting costs for his first movie?

It's something you never dreamed of.

Thinking of the contract he signed when he joined Chen Xiao's company, sure enough, Chen Xiao values himself.

The so-called soldier dies for his confidant, Sun Xutao gritted his teeth and said: "Mr. Chen, don't worry, if I mess up this movie, then I will never make a movie again." ”
