Aug. 7, 4 p.m.

Yanjing, Huarui Film and Television's president's office.

Just after a meeting, Shen Zhuo returned to the office, sat on a chair and rubbed his temples and closed his eyes to recuperate.

The female secretary reminded: "Mr. Shen, there is still a meeting to be held at half past four o'clock." ”

Shen Zhuo still closed his eyes, nodded, and said casually: "Well, you go out first, I'll take a rest, and you come in and call me at 4:20." ”

"Okay, Mr. Shen." The female secretary turned around and went out and gently closed the office door.

Shen Zhuo was a little tired, and leaned back in his chair for a while.

At this time, the mobile phone on the table vibrated and indicated that there was a call.

Shen Zhuo opened his eyes, picked up his phone and looked at it.

The caller's name is Fang Bo.

Well?

Shen Zhuo raised his eyebrows, answered the phone without hesitation, and said with a smile: "Hey, Director Fang." ”

Fang Bo asked politely, "Mr. Shen, are you free now?" ”

"Yes, of course." Shen Zhuo smiled kindly and asked, "Director Fang, do you have something you want to tell me?" ”

"Well, that's the case, I wrote a new movie script during this time, it's a comedy, if Mr. Shen is interested, I think maybe we can ...... investment" Fang Bo didn't go around the bend, went straight to the point, and said the intention of making this call.

Fang Bo has written a new script and wants to find investment?

Hearing this, Shen Zhuo was refreshed, no longer sleepy, his body left the back of the chair, and listened carefully to the voice from the mobile phone.

"Knock knock."

There was a knock at the door, and after waiting for a while, the female secretary pushed the door open and said softly: "Mr. Shen, the meeting is about to start." ”

Shen Zhuo's whole mind was on Fang Bo's new movie at the moment, so he covered his mobile phone receiver and said, "Let them turn it on first, and I'll go over later." ”

"Okay, I got it." The female secretary closed the door and left.

"The background of the movie is...... The plot is roughly like this, in terms of production costs, I expect it to be around 35 million, I don't know if Mr. Shen has any intention to communicate further? ”

Fang Bo didn't say too much detail, just briefly introduced the plot direction of the movie, and there was not much information given, and it was not easy for Shen Zhuo to judge how much commercial value it could have.

However, "Night Club" won more than 100 million box office at a cost of only 400,000 yuan, Fang Bo's ability has been proven, and if possible, Shen Zhuo is of course willing to participate in the investment of the film.

After thinking about it, he said with a smile: "Director Fang, just listening to what you said, I'm very interested in this movie." It's better to make an appointment for a face-to-face interview, and after reading the script, we will discuss the investment in detail. ”

"No problem." Fang Bo didn't think about completely getting the investment with a phone call, as long as he could determine an intention, and the rest of the things could be discussed slowly and in detail after meeting, so he agreed directly.

"I'll go back to Yanjing in a few days, and I'll visit Huarui Film and Television when the time comes."

Shen Zhuo said politely: "Okay, I will definitely wait for you then." ”

"By the way, Mr. Shen, there is one more thing."

Fang Bo paused, and said a little embarrassedly: "I want to advance 2 million from the box office share of the movie, is it okay?" ”

"Advance?" Shen Zhuo was stunned.

"Well, I know that the movie hasn't been released yet, and the box office payment won't be available for a while. However, I need money for the time being, so I want to advance 2 million from Huarui Film and Television first, and then deduct it from my share after the payment arrives, and the interest during this period can also be counted in it. ”

Fang Bo also knew that the payment had not yet arrived, and it was a bit inappropriate to advance in advance, but after the release of a movie, the payment time was often several months, and even it was common to delay it for half a year and a year, and he really didn't want to wait so long.

In order to support him in making movies, his parents took out many years of savings, and now that he has finally made money, he naturally wants to improve the living conditions for his family as soon as possible.

So after thinking about it, he still spoke to Shen Zhuo.

"Well, since Director Fang needs money, of course it's okay." Shen Zhuo did not hesitate, and quickly agreed.

"Night Club" has brought tens of millions of profits to Huarui Film and Television, and Fang Bo has shown enough talent, although it is a bit troublesome to advance in advance, but in order to maintain a good cooperative relationship with Fang Bo, Shen Zhuo does not mind giving him a convenience.

Besides, Shen Zhuo was not afraid that Fang Bo would not be able to pay it back.

You must know that Huarui only accounts for 25% of the divisible box office of "Night Club", and the estimated income is more than 10 million, and the remaining 75% can be returned to Fangbo.

As soon as the payment arrives, 2 million square berths is just a small amount.

Therefore, Shen Zhuo was willing to sell him a favor, and after thinking for a while, he proposed: "Of course it's okay to advance 200, but Director Fang, you also know that Huarui is a listed company, and 2 million is a trivial matter, but it also takes time to go through the accounts." ”

"Otherwise, we won't go through the company's accounts, and I'll transfer 2 million to you in my personal name, how about it?"

"Then thank you, Mr. Shen." Fang Bo thanked politely.

Shen Zhuo smiled: "Eh, Director Fang, what are you talking about, it's just a gesture." ”

Anyway, he is also the chairman and president of a listed company, and 2 million is really nothing, but having said that, Fang Bo still wrote down this favor.

……

Shen Zhuo's movements were very fast, and he transferred the money to Fang Bo that afternoon.

In the evening, Fang Bo's family had just had dinner.

"Dad, Mom, I'm going to Yanjing in a few days, there is a card here, there are 2 million in the card, you can take it and use it first."

Fang Bo took out a bank card and put it on the table and pushed it to his parents.

2 million?

Xiao Mei, who was about to clean up the dining table, stopped her movements, did not reach out to take it, but pushed the card back in front of Fang Bo, and said seriously: "What are you doing with the money for us, we are not short of money, you can keep it with peace of mind, you will have more places to spend money in the future." ”

"Hmm." Fang Lei on the side nodded, not at all tempted by 2 million, but said: "I know that your movie has a box office of over 100 million, and you must have made a lot of money, but you still have savings at home, and your mother and I have no place to use money." It's you, you're going to make a new movie, you must be able to use the money, take it to Yanjing. ”

Fang Bo pushed the card over again.

"Dad, Mom, I don't need this money for the time being, you can just take it. How nice it would be to buy a bigger house, a bigger place to live, and a new car. ”

In order to reassure his parents, he said with a smile: "Besides, the box office of my movie is tens of millions, can there be a shortage of these 2 million?" ”

Tens of millions?!

Xiao Mei and Fang Lei glanced at each other in surprise, it has only been half a year since the movie was made, and his son has become a multimillionaire?

Seeing that his parents' attitude had changed, Fang Bo struck while the iron was hot, and after some persuasion, he finally let them accept the bank card.

Seeing this, Fang Bo said happily: "If you want me to say, our noodle restaurant doesn't need to be opened." You've been busy for half your life, and it's time to enjoy life, so just close the noodle shop and go out for a trip. You have raised me for 20 years, and I will support you in the future! ”

Fang Lei smiled and said: "You kid, now that you are a big director, you look down on my small business, right?" ”

Xiao Mei also shook her head, and said happily: "Your father and I are both idle personalities, it's okay to rest for a few days once in a while, but if you really close the noodle restaurant, you have nothing to do every day, you have to be idle." ”

"That's okay, it's okay to open the noodle shop, but don't be as busy as before, just open the door for a few hours every morning and afternoon, pay more attention to rest, and don't be reluctant to ...... where you should spend money."

In the past, it was his parents who told Fang Bo to take care of his body, but this time he was about to leave home, and Fang Bo couldn't help but become more talkative, chattering and talking.
