As soon as he returned to the capital, Li Wan visited an investment boss in the circle, and in the office, Li Wan talked in detail about the financial difficulties in film production, hoping that people would invest.

The big guy is called Tang Weijun, a financial predator, but he is very interested in the film and television industry, established a company called Marriott Film and Television, and has invested in several blockbusters.

Now I heard that "The Wandering Earth" was short of funds, and I was a little surprised

"What? Didn't you say to invest 800 million? How is it not enough? ”

"There's no way, Yu Dongqing is too willing to spend money to make this movie, and you also know that special effects are the most expensive money, but a special effects shot was shot over and over again."

Tang Weijun smiled when he heard this.

"It seems that Yu Dongqing has invested heavily in this movie, Mr. Li, how about I think about this matter and then reply to you?"

Of course, Li Wan knew that such a big investment was not decided with a pat on the head, it was definitely a fool's comparison, but he still hoped to make a decision as soon as possible before leaving.

"Mr. Tang, Yu Dongqing's ability to make movies, I think you also know, it's all a box office guarantee, and you won't lose money!" Li Wan stood up and couldn't help but say.

"Hehe, I know this, Xiao Liu sent Mr. Li." Li Weijun spoke, looking at Li Wan's back, but a sneer appeared on his face.

But Li Wan, who had already gone out, didn't see it.

Li Wan didn't stay in Yanjing for a few days when he received a call from Tang Weijun, and he agreed to ask him to go to the company at nine o'clock tomorrow morning to discuss in detail.

Of course, Li Wan was very happy, and he drove to Tang Hongjun's company at eight o'clock in the morning and pushed open the door of the president's office, he was a little surprised.

Because Tang Weijun is not only alone in the office, but also a young man, a very "charming and charming" man.

Zheng Xiang!

Li Wan recognized it.

turned out to be today's traffic star Zheng Xiang!

How did he come here?

"Mr. Li, we meet again." Zheng Xiang crossed Erlang's legs, and his face seemed to be smiling.

"Hello, Mr. Zheng." Li Wan quickly adjusted his mentality, took the initiative to shake hands with Zheng Xiang, and then sat on the sofa next to him.

"Mr. Li, I just learned that Mr. Zheng's company invested in this movie, but you rejected it, if you don't refuse, your crew is in a dilemma now?!" Tang Weijun said with a smile.

"Mr. Tang, there is no need to mention the past." Zheng Xiang looked very generous, turned his head and looked at Li Wan again: "Mr. Li, until now, my company is still willing to invest, and I guarantee that all the funding gaps of your crew will be filled by my company!" ”

"Mr. Zheng, is there a prerequisite for being so generous?"

"Of course!" Zheng Xiang leaned back: "It's still the same condition as before, the male number one still lets me come from, with a salary of 60 million!" , Mr. Li, don't say that you have finished filming, the face swapping technology and even reshooting are not difficult for Director Yu, right? ”

it!

This Zheng Xiang doesn't know which tendon is wrong, why does he have to play the male lead in this movie?

But will Yu Dongqing agree?

Definitely not.

That's a bull, too.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zheng, I can't agree to your request, it's impossible for Director Yu to change the protagonist." Li Wan said apologetically.

"Really? I can't do anything about the investment. Zheng Xiang smiled.

Li Wan no longer paid attention to Zheng Xiang, but looked at Tang Weijun: "Mr. Tang, your company?" ”

"Look at you. Mr. Zheng is willing to invest and reduce his salary, why don't you agree? Tang Weijun sighed and continued.

"Mr. Li, my company's budget for film and television dramas this year is full, and I won't invest again, I'm sorry."

Li Wan was immediately disappointed.

"Mr. Tang, Mr. Zheng, then I'll go first." After Li Wan finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards the door.

Since there was no room for negotiation, Li Wan gave up directly, he wanted to find another investment company, but as soon as he walked to the door, he was dragged by Zheng Xiang's words.

"Mr. Li, think carefully about my words." Zheng Xiang looked at Li Wan's back and suddenly said, "Since Mr. Tang is unwilling to invest, I don't think there are many companies in the capital that are willing to pay." ”

What do you mean?

Li Wanhuo Ran turned around.

Tang Weijun just smiled and picked up the teacup.

Li Wan came out of Tang Weijun's company, and immediately came to several film and television investment companies non-stop, and sure enough, they all refused.

There are also many reasons.

Some are not optimistic about Chinese science fiction films, some are worried about the difficulty of recovering their investment because of too much investment, and some simply have no reason.

Li Wan was disappointed.

Coming out of the last company, standing on the overpass, lighting a cigarette and watching the traffic below.

Is it really not optimistic about China's science fiction, or are there other unknown factors in it?

Moreover, how could an investment tycoon in the financial circle get together with a traffic student like Zheng Xiang?

Could it really be that Tang Weijun invested in Zheng Xiang's company as rumored, and was actually his behind-the-scenes boss?

Never mind.

I don't want to.

He took out his mobile phone from his pocket and called Yu Dongqing.

At this time, Yu Dongqing had returned to Shanghai from Hangzhou, came to the studio of the digital audio-visual center, and met Du Xuefeng and them.

"Director Yu, seeing that you are full of spring breeze and refreshed, it seems that you have been doing well in Hangzhou these days." Du Xuefeng said.

"Of course, the ancients: What's going on in the mountains? Songhua liquor, spring water sencha, drinking the dragon well soaked in Hupao Spring every day, looking at the beautiful scenery of the West Lake, how can you be in a bad mood? Yu Dongqing replied with a smile.

"I really don't understand, what's so good about tea?" Shangguan Feifei also interjected: "My dad also likes to drink tea, and it's strong tea!" I've tasted it, and it's so bitter. ”

"Feifei, that's because you're still young, and when you get older, you might like this thing."

"As I get older, I'm still like my mom, with a cup of black coffee every day." Shangguan Feifei shrugged.

Everyone laughed.

That's the cultural difference.

Everyone was chatting, and suddenly Yu Dongqing's mobile phone rang, and he took it out and saw that it was Li Wan calling, so he took it casually.

"Holly, things aren't going well."

"Oh? How? ”

Li Wan explained the matter in detail, and Yu Dongqing walked outside the corridor while listening, his face became more serious.

"There's nothing I can do about it anyway." Li Wan finally said.

"Okay, I know, you've worked hard, rest at home for a few days and accompany your sister-in-law." Yu Dongqing comforted.

The two chatted a few more words before Yu Dongqing hung up the phone and walked into the workshop.

"Director Yu, what's wrong?" Du Xuefeng greeted him and asked with concern.

Du Xuefeng was his assistant, and Yu Dongqing had nothing to hide, so he replied in a low voice: "Mr. Li has encountered difficulties in returning to Yanjing to find investment, and no one is willing to invest for the time being." ”

Du Xuefeng gasped when he heard this: "What about the gap of 100 million?" ”

"I'm trying to figure it out."

"Or not." Du Xuefeng looked at Shangguan Feifei not far away: "Or stop paying to the three special effects companies for the time being, and pay after the production is over, anyway, the industry does this." ”

"How's that going to work? The contract is written in black and white! Besides, people also rely on this to pay their employees. Yu Dongqing immediately vetoed this approach.

It is because of the general non-compliance with the contract in the film and television industry that these special effects production companies ask for accounts like Sun Tzu.

"That?"

"You don't have to worry about this, keep an eye on the progress, you have to finish it on time!"

"I understand."

Yu Dongqing stood in place and pondered for a while, then took out his mobile phone and called Yang Liu directly.

"Yang Liu, how much money does the studio have at its disposal now?"

"About 45 million is the song copyright income of last year, and I have to ask the finance for the specific data."

In the past few years, Yu Dongqing has not held concerts to release new discs, etc., relying on the copyright income of the original singing and writing songs.

"In this way, transferring 30 million to the crew's account is regarded as an additional investment by the studio."

"What the hell is going on?" Yang Liu looked a little surprised on the phone.

"It's over budget, and Li Wan hasn't found funds for the time being." Yu Dongqing briefly explained what happened.

"The studio is out of 30 million, and I personally add another 10 million, and there is still a gap of 60 million. Alas, by the way, Yang Liu, didn't someone ask me to shoot an advertisement some time ago? I'll pick it up! ”
