Chapter 199: Goals

After the reception banquet at noon, the three of George's family went back to the room to rest, Zuo Jiang accompanied Tao Fei and Bai Xiaoyi and Liang Zijin and Li Da to finalize the details of the investment contract, and met at noon Liang Zijin and Li Da were very satisfied with Bai Xiaoyi.

Zuo Jiang considered that the Harry Potter Financial Investment Company in the United States must operate in a low-key manner, and there is no product just a capital operation, and there is no need to promote it in China at all, so he changed the investor of the "Eternal Beauty" movie to the Harry Potter Hotel, although the hotel has not yet been built, but the hotel was almost completed when the movie was released, and it was the time to publicize it. Of course, Liang Zijin and Li Da will not care about this kind of thing, what they need is money, and investment in that company is not a problem.

Liang Zijin's investment contract is very rigorous, and I believe that there are ready-made investment blueprints in the film industry, so they can borrow it. After reading the contract carefully, Tao Fei pointed to the terms of the contract and said to Liang Zijin: "Director Liang, there are three things in this contract that I think are inappropriate and must be modified!"

After reading the three clauses pointed out to him by Tao Fei, Liang Zijin asked with some doubts: "Mr. Tao, is there anything wrong with these three clauses?"

Tao Fei said: "Yes, the first item you wrote is to transfer the investment money directly to your Jinghua Film Studio's account, we can't agree, the money will be transferred to the film studio's account, and the money will be in the hands of the film, we are worried that the film studio will misappropriate our funds or not pay you on time, which will delay the progress of the film's shooting, cause an increase in costs, or the film's shooting will be aborted in the middle of the film, and we must be responsible for our investment."

Liang Zijin and Li Da didn't think about this problem at all. They just copied the blueprint of other people's contracts, Tao Fei felt the seriousness of the problem, they worked in the film studio for several years, such a thing has not happened, although the later stage has been solved, but the delay and increased costs are borne by the crew themselves, but the film studio that can decide your fate can be helpless.

Liang Zijin looked at Tao Fei and said, "Mr. Tao." So how can this problem be solved?" He had no experience in this area at all, so he had to ask Taufei for advice.

Tao Fei said: "Director Liang, this problem is very easy to solve, after you go back, you can go to the bank to apply for a special account, if the film studio has a different opinion, you will say that this is the investor's request, I believe the factory will not embarrass you."

"Okay, just do what Mr. Tao said!" Liang Zijin saw that the first problem was solved, so he asked: "Mr. Tao, what is the second problem?"

Tao Fei said: "The second clause in your contract says that we can't agree to the investment once it is in place. This movie will have to be filmed for a year, and we will invest all the funds in you at one time to occupy our bonuses, not to mention, and we cannot guarantee the safety of our funds, I mean, 7 million yuan of funds will be invested in you in three times, and we will give you the first funds in the preparatory stage after the establishment of the crew. The quota is 2 million yuan. As a preparation and start-up fund, we will give you a second fund of 3 million yuan after the start of filming, and a third fund of 2 million yuan at the end of the filming, and in order to ensure the safety of our funds, we must send a financial staff to the crew to supervise the use of funds. ”

Liang Zijin was a little unhappy when he heard this, he felt that this was Tao Fei's obvious distrust of them, and obviously said with dissatisfaction: "Mr. Tao." With this, we can still roll up your money and run away!"

Of course, Tao Fei could guess what Liang Zijin was thinking, and she said: "Director Liang, it is necessary to do this when it comes to such a large amount of money, and it has nothing to do with trust, your film industry has the rules of the film industry, and since our company has invested, we must be responsible for the safety of our own funds." Thank you for your understanding. ”

Liang Zijin calmed down and thought about it carefully. It is understandable for Taufei to do this, and the investment conditions for them are very generous. Another company will never be so lenient with them, and this condition cannot be regarded as harsh for such an investment, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, Mr. Tao, I agree with this."

Tao Fei continued: "This third and last article, the contract only says that you promise to finish the film and release it, but it does not state the time when the filming will be completed and the time of the release, that is to say, it can be understood that the completion of filming in one year is also completed, and the completion of filming in ten years is also completed, if you shoot for 20 years, we don't have that time to wait, so I think it is necessary to write the time of filming and the time of the release into the contract."

Liang Zijin and Li Da exchanged opinions, and felt that Tao Fei's request was not excessive, but it was difficult to decide how long it would take.

Tao Fei said: "Director Liang and screenwriter Li, you don't have to worry about this matter, you can estimate how long this movie will be completed, and we can give you half a year to a year, so that you will have more time and we have the bottom of our hearts."

Liang Zijin glanced at Li Da and then said to Tao Fei: "Mr. Tao, let's do it, the filming time is set to be completed within one and a half years, and the release time is set to be within two years, what do you think?"

Tao Fei said: "Okay, just follow what Director Liang said!"

After the contract is amended, it is written in duplicate, and both parties have carefully read it and have no objections, and then sign the contract separately, and the contract officially takes effect.

Liang Zijin and Li Da are like arrows after the implementation of the heroine and investment, they still have a lot of things to do after returning to Beijing, the most important thing is to hand over this contract to the film studio, after the film studio included the film in the second half of the shooting plan, they also have to do a series of work such as selecting actors and choosing shooting locations, but at this time Songjiang has no flights to Beijing, the earliest is tomorrow morning at 8:20, Zuo Jiang booked two sleeper tickets for them to go to Beijing at night, The time to arrive in Beijing is more than 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, so as not to delay their errands.

Liang Zijin gave the script to Bai Xiaoyi, telling her that she could familiarize herself with the script first during this time, so as to enter the role as soon as possible, and once the crew completed the preparation and determined the filming time, she would be notified by phone at that time.

After the contract was signed, Bai Xiaoyi, Liang Zijin and Li Da continued to study the script, Zuo Jiang and Tao Fei returned to the room on the 8th floor to study the matter of traveling to Changbai Mountain and Funing, and taking George's family to Changbai Mountain was just a simple tour, and the focus was to let George visit the ginseng and gastrodia planting base in Funing, and then visit the distribution center of Chinese herbal medicine in Changbai Mountain - Changbai Mountain Chinese Herbal Medicine Market, and these all need the support of the local government.

Tao Fei said: "Little brother, this matter is easy to do, I will ask Uncle Wu to come forward and say hello to the local government, with Governor Wu coming forward, you can be unimpeded!"

Governor Wu came forward to greet Zuo Jiang, of course, he couldn't ask for it, Tao Fei went over to call Wu Heping after speaking, the phone was answered by the secretary, and when he heard that Tao Fei was looking for Governor Wu, Wu Heping's laughing voice came from the phone for a long time: "Xiao Fei, I haven't seen you for a long time, why did you suddenly remember Uncle Wu today?"

Tao Fei smiled and said: "Uncle Wu, that's the case, my little brother Zuo Jiang wants to accompany Dr. George from the United States to travel to Changbai Mountain, Mr. George is a pharmaceutical expert with double doctors of nutrition and chemistry, I heard that Funing is our Chinese medicinal material base, so I want to visit where to visit, please ask Uncle Wu to say hello to the local government and ask them to give it a convenience!"

As soon as Wu Heping heard that he was a pharmaceutical expert from the United States, he immediately thought of the investment aspect, and asked with a smile: "Xiaofei, does this Dr. George have the intention of investing in our Songjiang?"

Tao Fei said: "Although Mr. George is here purely for tourism, if he is interested in Funing's medicinal materials, even if he does not invest, he may have the idea of purchasing a large number of them, after all, he is a pharmaceutical expert!"

Wu Heping smiled and said, "Xiaofei, you are right, since Dr. George wants to see it, he is interested in it, is it our potential customer!" Good! When they will go to Funing, I will ask the Funing County Government to make arrangements. ”

Tao Fei said: "Zuo Jiang plans to take them to Changbai Mountain tomorrow, and it is estimated that they will be able to go to Funing the day after tomorrow, Uncle Wu, just arrange it the day after tomorrow!"

Zuo Jiang considered the relationship between entering the mountains, so he decided to use the two Ford off-road vehicles, his driving level was clear, and it was okay to drive on the flat road, but it was definitely not possible to drive on the mountain as soon as he arrived in the mountains, so he asked Tao Fei to send someone to find Li Juncheng and Zhang Tianlong, and let them both be the drivers of the trip to Changbai Mountain this time.

After Li Juncheng and Zhang Tianlong came, Zuo Jiang told them about going to Changbai Mountain tomorrow, asked them to go back and prepare, and set off early tomorrow morning, and asked them to go and fill up the gas in the two cars now, and check if there was any problem.

After Li Juncheng and Zhang Tianlong agreed, they walked out, and when they walked to the door, Zuo Jiang stopped Li Juncheng: "Brother Li, ask Sister Xiaoli if you have time when you go back, if you have time, you can take her with you!"

Li Juncheng was very happy when he heard it, Wu Xiaoli told him several times, saying that when she had money in her hand, she would go to Changbai Mountain to have a look, and she wanted to see the big waterfall of Changbai Mountain with her own eyes!
