Chapter 50: Digging the Foot of the Wall

Conference room of Dongying Group Building.

The Copyright Department, the Risk Control Department, the Investment Department, and Jiang Shouyuan's studio are holding four-party talks.

After Ren Shihui said Wu Huai's request, Zhang Yilin, the head of the investment department, immediately expressed his opposition!

"There is no need to continue to contact at all, and we Dongying have no shortage of scripts, who does he think he is!" Zhang Yilin said in a deep voice with a frown.

Just listening to Ren Shihui's description, he didn't have a good impression of Wu Huai.

People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, just with a novel, he got involved in the field of TV dramas, not only naïve, but also stupid!

Fan Yi'an of the risk control department said after a moment of silence: "We have done market research in the early stage, and in the past one or two years, costume dramas have been sluggish, and the market share has decreased, so it is not recommended to shoot costume dramas. ”

He glanced at director Jiang Shouyuan, smiled and said: "If Director Jiang insists on filming, the opinion of our risk control department is that the investment cannot exceed 30 million!"

"Huh...... Didn't that Wu Huai say that he could invest 36 million, so what kind of cooperation can he find, can't he just shoot it himself," Zhang Yilin snorted coldly and said, "Isn't it just that we like the resources of our Dongying, it's just a pipe dream!"

Jiang Shouyuan was a little unhappy in his heart, not to mention the situation on Wu Huai's side for the time being, the investment department and the risk control department were obviously not optimistic about his project.

He took a puff of cigarette, extinguished the cigarette butt and said in a deep voice: "My evaluation report and approximate budget have been made, and if you want to make this TV series well, you need at least 60 million investment!"

"Impossible, such a high investment risk is too great, even if we Dongying, it is impossible to take such a big risk!" Zhang Yilin, the head of the investment department, said with a frown.

"In this regard, I agree with Minister Zhang's judgment, with the current market situation, the risk level of investing more than 50 million yuan will reach an extremely high level!" Fan Yi'an nodded and said.

Of the four departments, only Ren Shihui from the Copyright Department had the lowest voice, so he did not participate in the discussion.

Just recalling Wu Huai's previous firmness, he still couldn't help but sigh at Wu Huai's courage and ambition!

Even Dongying Group did not dare to invest more than 50 million in TV dramas, but Wu Huai personally dared to invest 36 million...... It's amazing!

"I think you should take a closer look at my evaluation report, this "Langya Bang" has great investment value!" Jiang Shouyuan said in a deep voice with a frown.

"Director Jiang, we can understand your mood when you see Hunting, but we have to start from the real market, analyze calmly, and judge rationally!" Zhang Yilin also didn't let in at all, Zhengse said.

"If the investment amount of this work can be controlled within 30 million, my side will be able to approve it!" Fan Yi'an echoed.

Jiang Shouyuan was a little irritable in his heart, sometimes being in a large film and television group is a lot of restrictions, and he can't follow his own ideas!

"If it's because of the problem of funds, isn't that Wu Huai just able to invest 36 million, and we only need to invest another 20 million to be able to set up the project!" Jiang Shouyuan said with a deep breath.

"Director Jiang, you are secretly changing the concept, we just have less shares, but the risk is the same!" Fan Yi'an frowned and said, for such a tough director, they also have a headache.

"And in this way, Wu Huai is the main investor in this work, we just follow the investment, how can the quality of the TV series be guaranteed? Such an investment is still meaningful? I don't agree!" Zhang Yilin said resolutely.

"It's just tens of millions and it's crooked!" Jiang Shouyuan got up and said angrily: "I have earned more than this amount for Dongying in the past two years, you can't make a decision, I'll go to Mr. Hu!"

"Where the duty lies, Director Jiang, I'm really sorry!" Fan Yi'an said apologetically, but without the slightest regression.

Jiang Shouyuan snorted coldly and walked to the conference room with a black face.

After Ren Shihui finished watching the play, he unhurriedly put away his notebook and asked, "Then I will refuse Wu Huai's side?"

"Let him get out!" Zhang Yilin frowned and said angrily.

Ren Shihui smiled and got up to leave.

He didn't let Wu Huai wait for a long time, and ten minutes after the meeting, he called Wu Huai!

"It's a pity, Xiaohuai, there may be no way to reach a cooperation this time!" Ren Shihui was still testing to see if Wu Huai would lower his conditions because of Dongying's abandonment, he believed in Jiang Shouyuan's ability and vision.

"Well, it's okay, it's just delaying Minister Ren's time!" The voice on the other end of the phone was calm, and it didn't seem to be affected by the news!

In this case, Wu Huai was still able to stay calm, and Ren Shihui couldn't help but glance at him.

After pondering for a moment, he said: "I really hope that we can reach a cooperation, and Director Jiang Shouyuan is also fighting for this script to ......."

"Well, thank you Minister Ren for your appreciation...... I'll invite you to dinner when I'm free!" said Wu Huai on the other end of the phone.

……

in the office.

Wu Huai hung up the phone, and Xu Ke asked with some frustration, "The conversation with Dongying has collapsed?"

Wu Huai nodded and said softly, "Expected...... But there's still a lot to gain!"

"What's the gain?" Xu Ke didn't know why, didn't the talk collapse, did he want to use Dongying to make a fuss about "Langya Bang"?

"It's the director!" Wu Huai's eyes flashed, and he said with a chuckle.

Xu Ke was stunned and reacted: "Is it Director Jiang Shouyuan?"

Wu Huai nodded and said: "In fact, for us, directing and investment are big problems!"

Just now Ren Shihui revealed a very important information to me, that is, Jiang Shouyuan fought hard for "Langya Bang".

This shows that he is very optimistic about "Langya Bang", which is the basis of our cooperation!

If Jiang Shouyuan can direct "Langya Bang", coupled with the popularity of "Langya Bang" at this time, then the difficulty of attracting investment will be greatly reduced.

You don't think it's a big catch!"

Xu Ke couldn't help but be a little excited when he heard Wu Huai's analysis.

Indeed, using Jiang Shouyuan's fame and reputation to attract investment will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!

"But...... Isn't Jiang Shouyuan the contracted director of Dongying?" Xu Ke suddenly thought of this and asked hesitantly.

"I have already learned that Jiang Shouyuan and Dongying signed an employment agreement for one film and television work a year, not a labor contract.

Jiang Shouyuan has already filmed a TV series for Dongying this year, so it is entirely possible for him to direct "Langya Bang"!" Wu Huai said with a smile.

I've already checked it all......

Xu Ke looked at Wu Huai with strange eyes, maybe he was already working on this idea when he was negotiating with Ren Shihui......

"Then I'm going to contact Jiang Shouyuan?" Xu Ke asked softly.

Wu Huai nodded: "It's best not to be known by Dongying...... It's better to have more of this kind of thing than to have less!"
