Chapter 20: Fooling the Eldest Lady
Although Fang Bei was a little annoyed that Liu Mang didn't understand his central idea, he couldn't say it clearly.
So he decided to give it a hint.
"Lao Liu, don't worry, everyone is a layman after all, this movie should be used as a practice for everyone, we can't be ambitious. ”
Liu Mang obviously didn't understand his hints.
"But it's a 7 million investment......"
"I'm a producer, and I'm in charge. Don't wave your hand, "Finish work today, you remember to manage here, the equipment and everything are collected, I'll go to our investors...... Let's talk. ”
Liu Mang was a little worried: "Our new budget plan...... Isn't that a bit excessive?"
"It's not too much at all. Don't pick up the budget plan and leave, "You guys can film with peace of mind, remember, it's just practice!"
Looking at his back slowly moving away in the sunset, Liu Mang's eyes turned red again.
"Qiumei, we must make this movie well!
What a good person, in order not to put pressure on everyone, he actually took the initiative to choose to carry the pressure on his shoulders.
"Hmm. Zhao Qiumei responded, but there was an unquestionable firmness in her flat tone, "Definitely!"
............
Standing at the door of the company, Fang Bei's mind once again passed the words used to fool Su Murin.
After a long time, he took a deep breath and was about to knock on the door.
But the door opened on its own.
Su Murin's eyes were faint: "It's just time that the rice is ready, try how the steamed sea bass tastes." ”
Fang Bei's hand stopped in mid-air, and he smiled when he heard the words: "Okay." ”
At the dinner table, the two sat opposite each other.
Su Mulin was looking at the budget plan that Fang Bei had brought back, while Fang Bei was fiddling with the fish on the plate with his chopsticks.
Pick up a chopstick and put it in your mouth, don't be stunned, and then slowly savor it.
Su Mulin seemed to be looking at the budget, but in fact, her eyes fell on Fang Bei.
"How does it taste. ”
The tone was flat, but the crumpled edge of the budget exposed the inner tension of Bai Fumei's high school students.
"Hmm...... How to say it. ”
Fang Bei smashed his mouth, as if he was reminiscing: "A little disappointed." ”
The budget was crumpled into a ball, and Fang didn't look up, but he looked at a pair of emotionless eyes.
"Where to be disappointed. ”
Fang Bei didn't seem to be aware of it: "It doesn't feel like it matches your personality." ”
Su Mulin frowned slightly: "What do you think I should be." ”
"Hmm...... How to say it. Fang Bei supported his chin with one hand, with a smile on his face, "It's the kind of weird and unpalatable food that the eldest lady makes clumsily, although it is very hard, but it is still very clumsy, this is the qualified character setting of an eldest lady." ”
"Heh......"
Miss Su sneered and was about to start mocking, but Fang Bei spoke again.
"But the food you cook is really delicious, tsk, if you don't mix in the entertainment industry, you can feel bigger and stronger even if you go to open a restaurant." ”
"It's useless to pat yourself on the back. ”
Miss Su wanted to pretend to be calm, but she couldn't help but the upturned corners of her mouth betrayed her good mood.
It's still a seventeen-year-old girl after all.
"Uh-huh. Don't raise your chin, "How is the budget, if you have any questions, you can bring it up." ”
Then I'll find a way to fool you.
"There are some problems. The eldest lady put down the budget plan in her hand.
"You mean a boxed lunch?" the smile on Fang Bei's face was flawless, "Actors also have to eat something good to give you a serious performance, since we want to do it, we must do the best in the industry." And after the word of mouth goes out, what kind of films do we want to make, do you say those group performances will come to our crew or to other crews?"
The eldest lady, who knows a little about the film and television industry, turned her head and thought about it: "It seems to be ...... That's the truth. ”
"Right. "Don't start striking while the iron is hot," and the staff. We must have our own set of teams in the future, rather than looking for outsiders, it is better to simply train ourselves, so it is also a very reasonable and logical thing to improve their treatment. ”
Su Mulin was moved by what he said.
"Isn't that seven million enough? ”
Fang Bei was stunned: "Where else can you go to raise money?"
Anyway, the one million "fruit money" given by Daddy Su will definitely not be used to make movies.
Let's not talk about anything else, even if the eldest lady asks questions, he can't answer them.
Su Mulin's good-looking eyebrows were about to twist into a ball, and after a while, she pursed her lips: "Sell the car again, I will ask Yan Shuangying to go to my eldest brother and drive his Maybach out and sell it." ”
Fang Bei took out his cigarette, saw that the young lady's eyes were not good, and stuffed it back: "No...... Do you want to sell it to your second brother at a high price?"
Su Mulin said lightly: "What's the problem." ”
"It's not...... This wool can't catch a sheep. ”
"Then what do you say. Miss Su clasped her hands in front of her chest and crossed Erlang's legs, "Anyone can ask questions, and if you can ask questions and give solutions to solve them at the same time, this is a qualified social person." ”
You're my boss, how did you say the same thing as my manager at a meeting......? Fang withdrew his gaze from the black stockings wrapped around the eldest lady's long legs without a trace.
"Can't you get that Bentley back from your second brother and sell it to your eldest brother for a high price......? I've been caught up in by you. Fang Bei patted his head, "I mean the seven million is enough, there is no need to add any more money." ”
After all, it's a movie to hit the street, and it's a little bit to save a little.
"Are you sure?"
Of course, Miss Su is not that stupid and sweet.
The reason why she wants to add money and doesn't question Fang Bie at all is because she believes in Fang Bie's talent and personality.
But Bai Fumei's awkward careful thinking made her unable to say it directly.
"Absolutely. Fang Bei took a pair of chopsticks and put the fish meat into Su Murin's bowl, "Let's pay the bottom first, what is the box office you expect?"
"My bottom line is 10 million, but my expectation is 100 million. ”
expects 100 million because she has read the script and believes in Fang Bei's level of talent.
The bottom line is 10 million, as long as it is not less than 10 million, she can continue to shoot the next step from the surplus money of the cost.
Although Su Mulin is only half of the film and television industry, she is not the kind of stunned youth.
This first movie has neither a big name nor a powerful publicity, she just needs word of mouth.
With word of mouth, she can pull Fang Bei to shoot the next one.
After a pause, the fish on the chopsticks fell into the bowl.
"The bottom line is 10 million? My eldest lady, aren't you going to lose miserably?"
Don't worry about losing money? Of course not!
What he worries about is that the loss is not bad enough!
What's more worried is that Miss Su's psychological expectations are too low!
If Su Mulin expects a billion-dollar and then a box office of hundreds of thousands, then she can't collapse her mentality and obediently go home to inherit hundreds of millions of family properties?
But what if her mentality doesn't collapse?
