When the casino was publicized and prepared for the opening, Lin Shixuan had also written the script for the casino with a screenwriter before, and on this day, Lin Shixuan and Lan Ying came to Wumeng Mountain to see Shi Haodong, and Shi Haodong invited the two into the living room.

After Lin Shixuan sat down, he handed a stack of thick printed scripts to Shi Haodong, and said: "Brother Dong, in the past, I used to improve with you to find a screenwriter to write a script, but now that screenwriter has written it, this is the script, you can take a look, if you have investment intentions, I will bring the screenwriter to meet Brother Dong, and talk about what needs to be changed in the script." ”

Lin Shixuan didn't come this time, Shi Haodong almost forgot about it, took the script with a smile, and said: "I don't understand the script, you just think it's okay." After a pause, he added: "The most important thing is whether the investment in the film can get a corresponding return." ”

Lin Shixuan muttered: "I have been out of this circle for several years, and the specific market is not accurate, so it is difficult to judge. However, I looked at the script and it was still well written, and if the funds and publicity were in place, it should not be a problem to recover the cost. Most importantly, this is equivalent to promoting the casino in disguise, which is very helpful in increasing the popularity of the casino. ”

Shi Haodong thought for a while, felt that Lin Shixuan's words were very reasonable, and asked at the moment: "How much money does it take to invest in this movie?" ”

Lin Shixuan said: "This all depends on Brother Dong's wishes, if you want to make a blockbuster, one billion or two billion is not too little, if you just want to make a general blockbuster movie, a few hundred million is enough." Investing in making movies does not have to be a sole proprietorship, and Dongge can also seek other partners to invest together. ”

In the past two years, Shi Haodong's entertainment venues have been profitable, although the Far East Construction and Transportation Company have not yet made a profit, but they have been able to be self-sufficient, plus the dividends distributed by the auction square, there is about 300 million spare money in hand, and he said at the moment: "Since this movie is mainly to promote the casino, I should inform Chairman Xu to see what she means." ”

Lin Shixuan said: "In fact, according to my concept, if this movie can be grandly released a month before the opening of the casino, sweeping the major domestic lists, and at the same time selling VIP on major websites, the promotion of the casino will have an unexpected effect." Of course, if Dongge has enough funds, it will be better if he invites well-known domestic directors and international superstars to shoot and participate in international film festivals. ”

Shi Haodong's eyes lit up when he heard the international film festival, if it was just domestic publicity, there would not be much need for investment in this film, but if he could participate in the film festival and show his face in the world, even if it was short-lived, it would definitely make the name of the casino spread all over the country.

While thinking about it, a voice sounded in the fundraising: "Making a movie is such a beneficial thing, our brother Dong naturally won't miss it." Looking back, Xu Fengjiao walked slowly.

Although she also has her own villa, Shi Haodong's roots are in Wumeng Mountain, and she lives in Wumeng Mountain most of the time in order to tie Shi Haodong, fortunately, she has great means, and she gets along very well with Xiang Yuchen, but she didn't make any trouble.

Lin Shixuan saw that Xu Fengjiao's face was a little unnatural because of the ghost in her heart, so she immediately returned to normal, stood up, and said with a slight smile: "Does Mrs. Shi also agree to this plan?" ”

Xu Fengjiao smiled: "Agree, why don't you agree?" Not only do we have to invest in this film, but we also have to do it as a sole proprietorship. ”

Lin Shixuan said: "That's great." ”

Xu Fengjiao said, "Mayor Lin, please take a seat." Then he walked to Shi Haodong and sat down, lit a cigarette, cocked Erlang's legs, and continued: "But I still have one condition, and I ask Mayor Lin to agree." ”

Lin Shixuan said: "Mrs. Shi, please speak." ”

Xu Fengjiao said: "I have heard before that you want to cooperate in making a casino-themed movie, and this is indeed a very good idea, fame and fortune." However, I have a little suggestion in terms of casting, the heroine of this movie must have Mayor Lin as the lead. ”

Lin Shixuan looked at Shi Haodong and wanted to know what Shi Haodong meant.

Shi Haodong knew that Lin Shixuan had a lot of opportunities, and how could he have time to make movies, so he said with a smile: "Mayor Lin has so many things, how can he have time to make movies, your request is too difficult." ”

Xu Fengjiao extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray on the table and said, "This is not difficult for a strong man, but it is really for Mayor Lin's consideration." ”

Lin Shixuan was surprised and asked, "How do you say this?" ”

Xu Fengjiao said: "Mayor Lin is a star, and his popularity has almost been consumed in the past two years, if he doesn't make one or two popular classics, I'm afraid he will be forgotten by fans." Mayor Lin's term of office is less than two years, if he doesn't maintain his popularity, what should Mayor Lin do when his term of office expires? ”

Lin Shixuan groaned when she heard this, although the integrity department she led in the past two years has made quite achievements, but the wind of corruption has long been erosive, and various forces are intertwined, how can it be eliminated in just two years? There's a long way to go.

Xu Fengjiao saw Lin Shixuan's move, and further persuaded: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Mayor Lin took out his free time to participate in the filming of this movie, which can not only evoke the memories of fans, but also ensure the box office of the movie, get a lot of remuneration, kill two birds with one stone." ”

Shi Haodong is also thinking about it, in all fairness, Xu Fengjiao's words are a little selfish, but they are very reasonable, and if this movie can be made into a classic, the benefits to Lin Shixuan himself are also extremely huge.

Lin Shixuan actually wanted to agree to this plan a long time ago, but because he was the mayor, his time was very limited, so he said at the moment: "There is no problem with me being the heroine, but I am afraid that my limited time will slow down the filming process of the whole movie." ”

Xu Fengjiao said: "It's not a big problem, the filming process of the movie can be arranged according to your time." He groaned and said, "You should have two days of weekend vacation every week, and the rest of your free time shouldn't be much slower." ”

Lin Shixuan immediately had no doubts and agreed.

Shi Haodong, Xu Fengjiao and Lin Shixuan then discussed the details of filming this movie, because Lin Shixuan had been in the entertainment industry before, and he was familiar with some well-known directors and actors in the entertainment industry, so he proposed several candidates at the moment.

After sending Lin Shixuan away, Shi Haodong and Xu Fengjiao turned back to the living room, and after sitting down, Shi Haodong asked: "We have limited funds in our hands, and Xiaoqing doesn't know what it means, how can you take care of everything, saying that you want to invest in this movie alone?" ”

Xu Fengjiao said with a smile: "Xu Qing shouldn't object, I believe that she is a person who distinguishes between public and private, and she will not see the benefits of investing in this movie." And don't forget, we have a rich man in our hands. ”

Shi Haodong came to his senses and said with a smile: "You mean Zheng Shiheng's kid?" ”

Xu Fengjiao nodded and said, "If that kid knows that he has the opportunity to insert into the film and television circle and contact beautiful stars, he will automatically post it without us looking for him, and he is worried that he will not invest money?" ”

Shi Haodong laughed and said: "That's right, with that kid's virtue of not being able to walk when he sees a beautiful woman, he must be very generous this time." By the way, how is Fang Ping's old woman? ”

Xu Fengjiao said: "It's not far from death, she has been addicted to drugs for the past two years, and now she can't satisfy her by smoking, she has to rely on injections to satisfy, and the amount is larger than one time, and it won't be long before she will definitely die of drug overdose." ”

Shi Haodong was not very happy when he heard this, drugs are not shallow to people, although Huaxing City is now under the control of the East Gang, although the circulation of drugs is the least in the country, there are still many people who are smoking. Then he looked at Xu Fengjiao and said, "I want to go to Xu's house." ”

Xu Fengjiao said: "Want to see your old lover again?" ”

Shi Haodong really wanted to see Xu Qing, but he said: "Since I always have to do a full set of plays, it will be more realistic for me to meet her." ”

Xu Fengjiao said: "Whatever you want, I don't bother to care about what you want, and I can't care about it." ”

Shi Haodong immediately stood up, asked Ao Kui to prepare the car, and went to Xu's house again.

When she arrived at Xu's house, Xu Qing originally didn't want to see Shi Haodong, but when she heard that Shi Haodong had business, she made an exception to meet Shi Haodong.

After Shi Haodong sat down, he told Xu Qing about the matter, and when he spoke, his eyes kept glancing around, wanting to see Xu Ao, but he didn't know that he didn't see the figure, and he didn't know whether Xu Qing did it intentionally or unintentionally.

After listening to this, Xu Qing expressed her preliminary agreement, and waited for Shi Haodong to determine the amount of film investment before making a final decision.

In the following month, Lin Shixuan took the screenwriter of the film to Wumeng Mountain to meet Shi Haodong three times, made changes to some small details, and selected the director.

Lin Shixuan's choice of director is Huang An, the chief domestic director who has worked with her and won awards at international film festivals.

After repeated negotiations, the investment amount of the film was finalized, and it was initially estimated that it would be 600 million, with Shi Haodong contributing 200 million, Xu Qing investing 200 million, and Zheng Shiheng's 200 million also contributing 200 million.

Among them, Zheng Shiheng's kid picked up a big bargain, a third-rate actress took the initiative to hook up with this kid in order to get a role in this movie, this kid naturally had a relationship with the third-rate actress without hesitation, and then fought for the third-rate actress in the director's office, and Huang An gave him an insignificant role after consideration.

The film is in full swing, and the progress of the casino is not lagging behind.

Before, Shi Haodong asked Shi Pan to tell Rattlesnake not to expand and stop business after the casino opened, and now it was time to give an ultimatum.

Shi Haodong thought that Rattlesnake had a set of casino operations, and his subordinates did lack relevant talents, so he asked Shi Pan to send an invitation to Rattlesnake as the deputy manager of the casino when he gave an ultimatum to Rattlesnake.

And the casino manager and the soul CEO of the entire casino do not yet have the ideal candidate.

In particular, the selection of the CEO is very important, this position is the top head of the casino administration, and must be familiar with all the operations of the casino, develop the corresponding strategy at any time, and deal with emergencies that may occur at any time.
