"Why am I alone?" Xu Zheng said sullenly.

"What are you trying to express?" Ye Xiangdong asked rhetorically.

"What about your promise?" Xu Zheng raised his head and looked at Ye Xiangdong.

The reason why he came to Dongye Film and Television was because of Ye Xiangdong's talent and potential, and Ye Xiangdong also guaranteed that he was treated the same as Huang Bo, and the most important thing was that he would make at least one starring movie every year.

But in the past few months, Ye Xiangdong's commitment to Huang Bo has been achieved, and Huang Bo's development has been very smooth, first through "Crazy Stone", and then the studio also took over two big dramas for him, one male lead, one male second, and recently it seems that he has begun to talk about advertising endorsements.

In comparison, he is now almost the same as before, with or without a studio, and the resentment in his heart has been for a long time, and he is not unhappy.

"I told you at the beginning, success is for those who are prepared, and it is obvious that you were indeed not ready at that time, so I fulfilled my promise to you." Ye Xiangdong methodically returned.

"But now? I think I'm completely ready, whether it's the director's ability or the actor's acting skills, Wei Changjun and Liu Kai together don't have half of me, why give them the script of "Never Expected" and not give it to me, this time, I'm really not convinced! Xu Zheng's eyes were red and he roared in a low voice.

"Not convinced?" Ye Xiangdong's face was a little strange, numb, how did he feel as if I was bullying him.

Now that the words have been spoken, Ye Xiangdong said bluntly: "Before you are not convinced, should you explain it to me." What did you have with the producers of Star Pictures privately? ”

"How do you know?" Xu Zheng was startled, the original angry momentum dissipated instantly, and he said: "They are looking for me, I"

Ye waved his hand to the east. interrupted: "I don't care who of you looks for first, I just want to tell you one thing, since we have entered Dongye Film and Television, we are a big family, and we must be honest with our families, Huang Bo, Wei Changjun." Liu Kai, Zuo Xiaomei, and several of them have done it, and so did you before. But what about now? Do I dare to train you with all my might now? You can only choose one of them. ”

"This" Xu Zheng showed a hint of struggle on his face, Star Pictures offered very generous conditions, and the resources of the director and actors were chosen by him. It's just relative to a high-quality environment. He prefers Ye Xiangdong, because as long as Ye Xiangdong exists, high-quality scripts will not be scarce.

After all, a good work is always a good work, and it is the same wherever it is placed, but the problem is that Ye Xiangdong has not reused him before, which makes him very hurt, so. will hesitate before.

After thinking about it again and again, Xu Zheng finally had an answer in his heart. Perennial Dao: People go to high places, water flows to low places, and if they go to Star Pictures, they are at most second-rate directors and male leads, but here in Ye Xiangdong, as long as he is willing to wait, there will always be a day when he will get ahead.

After thinking about this, Xu Zheng looked at Ye Xiangdong seriously and said, "I will refuse Star Pictures, relatively speaking, you are more worthy of my follow." ”

"Got it figured? Don't regret it? Ye Xiangdong asked rhetorically.

Xu Zheng nodded heavily and replied: "I have thought about it, and I will never regret it." ”

"Good." The corners of Ye Xiangdong's mouth hooked, and he said with a smile: "Take a good rest during this time, I will be tired at the beginning of November." ”

Get a good rest? Tired of some?

Xu Zheng was slightly stunned, but soon seemed to understand, looked at Ye Xiangdong with a look of surprise, and asked with a slightly trembling voice: "I can be the protagonist?" ”

"Yes, I will tell you with the facts that you made a wise choice." Ye Xiangdong said confidently.

"Thank you, thank you really."

Suffering from gains and losses, Xu Zheng couldn't help himself with excitement, the corners of his eyes were slightly moist, he understood that his opportunity had come, and secretly clenched his fists, this time he must hold it firmly in his hands and never give up.

"Okay, you've been tired for a few months, I'll give you a long vacation, go out and have fun, take care of my mental outlook, don't drop the chain for me when the time comes." Ye Xiangdong instructed with a single glance.

After Xu Zheng thanked him for his kindness, he also left one after another.

Ye Xiangdong sat alone in the private room, drank the last glass of wine, and the depression in his heart gradually disappeared.

Before filming "Yanjing Meets Seattle", Su Yi once told him that the people in Star Pictures had a relationship with Xu Zheng, but he didn't believe it at the time, so he sent someone to inquire about it, and only then did he confirm that the two had a relationship.

But fortunately, Xu Zheng has never agreed to Star Pictures, which is one of the reasons why Ye Xiangdong plans to reuse him.

Now the situation is becoming more and more complicated, and there are more and more industries under his hands, and the funds needed are even more bottomless.

Not to mention the small, take Chang'an Film and Television City as an example, there are still 20 days left, design drawings and capital budgets, etc., a series of data tables will be completed, and then there is the construction problem, according to the specifications of the previous life, the investment in the film and television city is not less than 500 million.

There is also the acquisition of Minghui Film and Television Company, he received information in the circle, several directors who wanted to sell their shares at a high price before are now interested in lowering the price, although there are no other companies or consortiums willing to buy for the time being, but the time will definitely not be too long.

Therefore, he must think of a way to raise a large amount of money at the end of the year, even if it is a loan, he must take 51% of the shares of Minghui Film and Television Company before others start work.

"League of Legends" he doesn't expect this thing to make money for the time being, as long as he doesn't lose money.

In the final analysis, the background is too poor, and he can now have very few means to make money, only novels, movies and shooting commercials.

Thinking of this, Ye Xiangdong opened the notepad in his mobile phone and made a preliminary calculation.

Expenditure: The acquisition of Minghui Film and Television Company will be 300 million, plus 500 million in the film and television city, a total of 800 million will be needed.

Income: In terms of novels, the publication fee of "Road to Heaven" and "Yanjing Meets Seattle" plus this month's share of the manuscript fee is nearly 20 million in total.

In terms of movies, "Crazy Stone" has a good box office in Treasure Island, Hong Kong, and Singapore, and in just over two weeks, he made a crazy profit of 390 million, and it is estimated that when he gets off the file, there will be almost 70 million, as for "Yanjing Meets Seattle", although it has not been released, according to Ye Xiangdong's estimate, the box office will be at least 1 billion, that is, he can earn at least 160 million.

In terms of advertising, there are more and more endorsement products in Di Li Hot Bar, and there are now as many as 6 under his name, all of which are 2-year endorsement contracts, deducting the share, the studio can earn nearly 18 million, Huang Bo's endorsement is still negotiating, with his current reputation, it should not be a problem to connect with 7 or 8 endorsements, and nearly 20 million will be credited by then.

Summing up, by the end of the year, the entire studio will be able to earn up to 400 million.

Clearing the data to zero, Ye Xiangdong touched his chin and had a plan in his heart.

Although there is still a gap of 400 million, the matter of the film and television city is not overnight, and all the funds cannot be in place at one time.

Therefore, this matter is simple, first Minghui Company and then Film and Television City.

After sorting out these things, Ye Xiangdong returned directly to the studio, and his work continued, editing the reused footage in the film "Yanjing Meets Seattle".

In the afternoon, under Su Yi's reminder, the two went to the Paradise Private Club together. (To be continued......)
