Mi circle

Chapter 36

Sure enough, I received a notice from the crew the next day, and I was temporarily on vacation for two days.

Shu Yue took the opportunity to read the script "Legendary Hua Dan" written by Screenwriter Liu for Director Qian. Shu Yue read it at an amazing speed.But if you think about it carefully, the story seems to be not vivid and interesting enough, and the content is a bit thin.She immediately contacted Director Qian,

"Master, I read the script written by Screenwriter Liu, have you read it?"

"Xiaoqi, I was just about to contact you, but I haven't read it yet. Xiaojie hasn't sent it to me yet!"

"Master, then I'll pass it on to you." Ge Ercha again, why didn't he send the script to me and the master for so long?Shu Yue pondered.She remembered that she and Screenwriter Liu had exchanged WeChat messages.

"Hello, Screenwriter Liu! I'm Li Shuyue."

"Miss Li, it's a pleasure to meet you. I haven't seen you for a few days. I should call you Seventh Princess."

"Princess Seven?" Shu Yue was puzzled.

"You don't know yet, it's spread in the capital circles, you are the closed disciple of Director Qian, the Seventh Princess of course!"

"Scriptwriter Liu, it's just a name, don't pay too much attention to it. I want to know how much you will be paid for helping my master write the script this time?" Shu Yue asked very directly.

"Isn't it in your contract? Princess Seven doesn't know?"

"I want to know how much you really took? The master said that you can't treat a talented person like you badly!"

"What I received now is an advance payment of 30."

"How much is the total price?"

"Ask my agent about this. After the film is finished, I can get another 50 yuan. You can find out about this by looking through your company's previous contracts. It's an old practice. Why bother to ask me, Seventh Princess!"

"I'm out of town, it's more convenient to ask you for verification."

"The seventh princess wants the new official to take office?"

"No, I just read your masterpiece last night. I was curious about how much such a talent can be paid, so I called directly. Excuse me, screenwriter Liu, I will treat you to tea when I go back."

"Don't bother, Seventh Princess, please give more suggestions, thank you for your appreciation!"

Shu Yue felt that it was not too late, she had to go to Feididu, which happened to be two days.

When the plane landed, Shu Yue took a taxi directly to Qian Dao's eleven villa, and Qian Dao was waiting for her.I met with Qian Dao, and we boarded the car together to go to Qian Dao's office building in the CBD.When we arrived at the studio, there were not many people working there, so Director Qian made a surprise inspection this time.They went straight to the finance department.

"Mr. Qian, why did you come here suddenly today when you are free?" Finance Lao Yang smiled.

"Show me the company's transfer records and the corresponding contract a few days ago." Director Qian said.

"Director Qian, you are old, don't you never ask these questions? It's too tiring."

"Hurry up and open it for me!"

"Okay, okay." Lao Yang looked a little flustered, and he started to operate on the computer, "Oh, what's the password, why can't I remember it all at once."

"Hurry up and open it!"

"I'll be fine soon, I'll be fine soon!"

After turning on the computer, it took more than ten minutes to see the transfer record displayed on the screen.

"How much did you pay for the deposit for screenwriter Liu?" Director Qian asked seriously.

"80, look here." Lao Yang pointed at the screen.

"What about the contract?" Director Qian said.

"Here is the contract." Lao Yang flipped through the contract nervously, and handed "this" to Director Qian.

Director Qian handed it to Shu Yue, a total of 268 million, 30% deposit, 80 to be paid first... But screenwriter Liu only received 30, what about the other 50?
"Sort out the company's bank records and contracts for the past three years." Director Qian said.

"Yes, yes, tidy up right away." Lao Yang started to tidy up, but his movements were very slow, obviously a bit of a delay.

"Xiao Zhang, you can do it, Lao Yang, take a break." Director Qian said.

Xiao Zhang is a female accountant. She started to work quickly, and within an hour, she had brought over the sorted contracts and collection and payment records.

"Xiao Qi, take a look."

Shu Yue began to look through, checking each item, and the contract amount and transfer records corresponded.An overseas account appeared several times and caught her attention, "Who is responsible for the business dealings of this Hong Kong company?"

"Boss Jie is in charge." Accountant Zhang said.

"Check the legal person of this Hong Kong company."

"Jie Ercha." Ten minutes later, Accountant Zhang said.

All arrows point to Geercha.Accountant Zhang said, "Director Qian, should we report the crime?"

"No, call him and ask him to come back to see me. I'll wait for him in the office."

Shu Yue sat in the office with Director Qian, waiting, waiting, waiting until it got dark.During this period, accountant Zhang showed the company's accounts for the past three years to Director Qian.After Qian Dao's big apprentice left three years ago, Qian Dao handed everything over to Jie Ercha.The business of the studio has not been good in the past few years. Director Qian always thought that he was old and could not get work.I don't want the person I trust the most to betray me and eat inside and outside.He had always had a faint feeling that there was something wrong with the studio, he just didn't want to believe it, and he didn't want to accept someone he trusted betrayed him.So he recognized Shu Yue as a closed disciple, hoping to help him, but in fact, he just hoped to have someone around him who could tell the truth to him.The words he heard in the studio were always good news but not bad news, always "Director Qian, with your fame and influence, if you say a word, the respondent will gather!".The fact is that his business has been decreasing year by year, and he can't shame himself to take the initiative to ask for business from the younger generation.Although his goal is no longer to make money, if art is not combined with business, its vitality will become fragile, and the development and inheritance of art requires vigorous vitality.

"Director Qian, let's call the police. He has been greedy a lot in the past few years. He gets kickbacks on both sides." Accountant Zhang said.

"Why didn't you tell me before?"

"I dare not say. You only come to the company once in several months, and you hardly enter our finances. Although I feel that there is something wrong with the accounts, it is difficult for us part-time workers to ask. I think it is all the boss's intention."

"I was careless!" Director Qian sighed, "Xiao Qi, what do you think?"

"You have given him a chance, and you usually treat him well. He has done too much. I think you should call the police. It is difficult to recover the money."

After struggling for a while, Director Qian finally asked Xiao Zhang to call the police.

Two days later, when Shu Yue returned to Shanghai, the newspapers were full of news about "Famous director's company's financial problems", "Famous deputy director's corruption...", "Famous director was cheated by his assistant..." The entertainment gossip newspaper wrote "Seven The princess finds out the inner ghost "...
Jie Ercha fled abroad.

Shu Yue found that Qian Dao's studio had a loose organizational structure and a lot of redundant personnel. Due to the less workload of Qian Dao in recent years, the people in the studio usually took on other jobs except for working after Qian Dao got the job.It is also understandable that in order to make a living, taking on several projects at the same time is something that all colleagues are doing.This Vanity Fair is too much a test of human nature.

"Shu Yue, you are a celebrity now!" Xiao Ya made a video call.

"The memory of the entertainment industry is very short, and I don't have any works." Shu Yue said calmly.

"Peter also wants to invest in the movie directed by Qian!"

"Sheng's and Feng's funds are enough."

"Princess Seven, please tell Director Qian, Peter also wants to invest."

"Mr. Chen wants to invest for his precious daughter, Chen Jiayi, right?" Shu Yue said lightly.

"Sure!"

"There are too many investors, and the selection of actors and creation will be difficult, which will affect the quality of the film. But I will find an opportunity to mention it, Mr. Xiao! Director Qian will not compromise on the selection of roles. We can recommend them. In the end, He decides who to use."

"See that your elbow is turning outward?" Xiao Ya pretended to be angry.

"No way, too many things have happened in the past few days, and I feel very sorry for Director Qian. The old man is old, and he has to support so many people, but also wants to inherit culture and make good works. People betrayed, so I feel a little bit!"

"Our little Yueyue turned out to be a doctor who saved lives and healed the wounded, full of justice and compassion!"

"Don't tease me, it's not you who dragged me into this muddy water."

"I know the pearl with my eyes, haha! I hope you will be a clean stream!"

Xiao Ya really trusts Shu Yue unconditionally.After hanging up her phone, Shu Yue immediately dialed the number of screenwriter Liu.

"Seventh Princess, what are your orders?"

"Uncle Liu, you must already know about Jieercha. I checked the internal contract, and the remuneration I gave you was 268 million, with a deposit of 80 in advance, but you only received 30. We will digest this matter internally." .”

"You have the final say, Seventh Princess!"

"Director Qian said, as before, your script is very beautiful, but this time we want to combine art and commerce better, that is, not only the films we make can win international awards, but also make a lot of money at the domestic box office. kind of."

"Well, I'm listening, meaning the script needs to be changed?"

"Yes, you can find two experts in the industry to write the script more interestingly. There are many interesting things about the four famous actresses fighting each other, similar to the current battle for position, and Du Yuesheng, the boss of the gangsters in Shanghai, was also one of them. Die-hard fan."

"Understood, I'll do it now. Then, the reward? You know I'll find a helper to create this..."

"According to international practice, script costs account for 10% of the total investment."

"All right, all right, then it's easy to handle, just watch, I'll definitely give you complete satisfaction."
