My artist wants to quit the entertainment industry every day

Chapter 125 Guo Fan Borrows Money, Chi Yu Registers a Company
Qindao, the Oriental Movie Capital.

Eleven o'clock in the evening.

The post-production team of "The Wandering Earth" is still working hard.

Looks like it's another 007 day.

However, the entire production team has long been used to this kind of life, and they have long looked down on the blessings of 996, and now they basically have no time to die.

"Guo Zi, I have good news for you, we have no money in our account again."

Gong Geer, the producer of the accounts, found Guo Fan and said helplessly.

Guo Fan was speechless.

How can this be good news?

Are you working overtime until your brain is broken, not knowing what is good news and what is bad news?

"Why is there no money again? I remember last week, didn't I have several million?"

"There are millions. But you know what you've been doing for the past two weeks."

Guo Fan said with a bitter face, "Okay, the burning of money this week is indeed a bit serious. Then what do you think we should do? I really don't know who to ask for money."

Gong Geer shook his head: "Then we have to find a way, and we won't be able to uncover the pot soon."

"The Wandering Earth" up to now, Guo Fan and Gong Geer have been advancing their own funds. Guo Fan has advanced 100 million, and Gong Geer has hundreds of thousands.

But it really can't move.

But without money, there is really no way.

"No way, I can only talk about ideals with those technicians."

Because it is a sci-fi movie, there are too many special effects shots in the later stage. The first shot, every second and every frame, is money.

Without money, we can only talk about ideals.

Gong Geer said bitterly in his heart: "It's not the way to talk about ideals all the time."

Ideal, how much is it worth?
"then what should we do?"

"Our movie is about 90.00% complete up to now, but as long as one of those special effects shots needs to be redone, it is a string of digital money."

As a product maker, Gong Geer knows how it feels to watch money change from a string of zeros to several zeros.

"The actor's money, which can be saved, has already been saved. Those who can attract investment have the cheek to attract investment. Now, where else can I borrow money from, and who can I borrow money from?"

Guo Fan also knows that talking about ideals all the time is a bit like playing hooligans.

Gong Geer suggested: "Why don't you ask Su Tang Media? They were very happy to give money before. And I heard that the strength of this company is actually quite strong."

"Not so good." Guo Fan was a little embarrassed.

When Chi Yu came for the first time, he fudged an investment of 3000 million while negotiating the remuneration with Su Aifei, which once solved the urgent need of the crew.

but now?

The movie has already been filmed, and you want to invest in it?
"Then why don't you ask Chi Yu, I heard that his previous film "Buried Alive" was released abroad, and the box office is also good, so he should be able to get a lot of money. Also, since he is so popular now, the amount of advertising endorsements should be even higher. many……"

Gong Geer proposed again.

It seems that his original intention probably lies with Chi Yu and Su Tang Media.

It's hard to find Wu Jing again.

Capitalists, all the capital that can be found have been searched.

Yida's departure did cause some troubles. Coupled with the dilemma of Huaguo's sci-fi movies, many people actually invested in it, and they didn't have the idea of ​​being able to recover the cost at the beginning.

It wasn't until I saw the crew's preparations, some of the shots, and the hard work of the actors and staff that I added some more investment.

Of course, Chi Yu's rapid progress in the circle also played a role in this process.

But after all, it takes too much money to make a sci-fi blockbuster.

"The Wandering Earth" currently has more than 4000 special effects shots in the early stage, and each frame of special effects is burning funds and the amount of technicians.

But it is already very cheap.

Compared with filming in Hollywood, it costs at least ten times more than here.

is at least.

Save money and satisfy the discerning audience for sci-fi movies, and they currently seem to be doing it.

However, saving money must also comply with the Basic Law.

Now we have reached the bottom line of the Basic Law.

"Okay, let me call and ask."

Guo Fan rubbed his face and said.

There is no way, the production team will not be able to get rid of it, even if they call for money, they will probably get stared at and scolded, so they have to ask.

He called Chi Yu directly, and he felt that Chi Yu was not very good at rejecting people.

At this time, Chi Yu had just finished writing his work diary for the day, but he was actually watching the whole crew in action, and was about to go to bed.

The phone rang.

Thinking it was Su Aifei, she took a look and found it was Guo Fan, frowned, and connected: "Director Guo, it's so late, haven't you slept yet?"

"I don't have time to sleep. I've been here for several days, and I haven't gone to bed before two o'clock in the middle of the night. Time is tight and the task is heavy." Guo Fan said with a smile.

Chi Yu could hear the exhaustion in his voice: "Director Guo, you can't do this all the time. You should rest. It's not a good way to use your body."

"There's no way. Funds are tight and technology is outdated, so we can only use the stupid way of working overtime."

Guo Fan lit a cigarette and worked overtime every day. He really couldn't bear it.

Espresso is no longer working, and cigarettes have lost their refreshing effect.

The only use of smoking now is that, according to scientific big data analysis and verification, when people smoke, they generally do not fall asleep.

This is different from eating. Some people can fall asleep while eating.

Chi Yu heard something, and pointed it out: "Director Guo, are you short of money again?"

Guo Fan laughed, and the night sky was full of orphans and desolation: "Well, I am really short of money."

"..."

Chi Yu suddenly didn't know what to say.

Seeing that he was silent, Guo Fan could only talk about ideals and reality: "Brother Chi Yu, you know the quality of our movie. In order to open the door to science fiction movies in Huaguo, I spent every penny on it." On the cutting edge..."

After talking for a long time, in short, I was emphasizing that this movie is not only the crystallization of ideals, but also a golden rooster that can lay eggs.

And the core idea is:

I, Guo Fan, make money.

Chi Yu naturally believed in "The Wandering Earth".

The last time he went for reshoots, he saw some finished special effects shots.

Although there is no dubbing yet, I just watched it on the computer screen.

But it has shocked him a lot.

If the movie comes out and can reach the level he saw those few shots, there is no reason why he would hit the street.

Moreover, although the plot of the whole movie is an anti-Hollywood-style spiritual and humanistic core, the narrative structure is completely Hollywood-style narrative.

Everything serves the plot.

Besides, even if it's going to the street, it's just a loss of this year's labor income.

Including income from filming and advertising endorsements.

Especially the income from advertising endorsements, because he won the best actor again and again, it is very considerable.

But even if it is a rush, he still has the salary of this "Farewell My Concubine" movie, so that he won't go home at the end of the year without even the money for gifts and red envelopes.

So Chi Yu said: "Director Guo, the problem is that I don't have much money in my hand. Right now, I'm spending a lot of money on my body, and it's estimated that I can have 1000 million, but this can't solve the funding needs of a crew."

Chi Yu took out the bulk of his money.

After all, the more than 1000 million yuan is not enough to buy a big house, especially the quadrangle courtyard that he has been thinking about.

"Enough! Enough!"

Guo Fan immediately said loudly: "Most of the work is almost finished now, and the money needed is not so much. If it is 1000 million, save it, and it will last until the movie comes out with a rough cut version."

Being able to produce a rough cut version means that it can be taken out and used to fool another investment with the work, including the largest investors, China Film Corporation, and Beijing Culture.

When asking friends for money, you can be cheeky and just open your mouth.

But if you want money from the company or the investor, you have to talk about your work.

"Well, Director Guo, I can't do without Director Chen's crew now, why don't you come here for a while?" Since Chi Yu had spoken, he would not hesitate.

"Okay, I'll go there tomorrow. Huairou, right?"

"Ah."

When he was about to hang up the phone, Guo Fan suddenly asked: "Chi Yu, how do you calculate your money plus the previous film salary? I don't mean the ratio, it is your 1000 million, and the previous film salary. counted together."

He raised a more critical question.

The remuneration is included in the company.

But the 1000 million is obviously his personal behavior, which is a bit troublesome.

"You can register a company yourself. But in this case, the process will be a bit troublesome. I really need money urgently here, and I really can't get rid of it."

Guo Fan's suggestion only mentions half of it: "However, personal investment is also possible."

"Okay, let me talk to Su Aifei and see what she thinks."

"Okay, you have discussed it here, write me back."

After hanging up the phone, Chi Yu immediately called Su Aifei.

"What? It's already 11:30, haven't you slept yet? How was filming today? Director Chen didn't scold you, did he?" Su Aifei answered the phone in seconds, asking a series of questions.

"I haven't shot my shots yet. It's not that fast. And Director Chen's directing style is very kind and patient, but the requirements are relatively high."

Chi Yu said, and then asked, "Where are you?"

"Come with Ruobai. She has a few commercials to shoot, and a movie to shoot."

"Is she going to make a movie? That's good."

Although it was a bit unexpected, but given how popular Di Li Ruobai's performance in "Three Lives III" was, it was reasonable to find it with the script of the movie.

"What kind of tone are you, don't look down on people!"

At this moment, Di Li Ruobai's voice came over.

Chi Yu was a little embarrassed, he laughed and said, "I'm not looking down on you, I'm just happy for you. Come on, Ruobai."

"Yeah! I must work hard!"

Di Li Ruobai seemed to clenched her fists, then nodded vigorously.

Then I heard Su Aifei push Di Li Ruobai away: "Put on your clothes! Don't dangle in front of me!"

"..." Chi Yu felt that he shouldn't listen to this.

Su Aifei also noticed, why did she say something immediately, and changed the subject: "You called so late, do you have anything important to say?"

"Yes, I have something to tell you."

Chi Yu went straight to the point: "I asked you to find a house, but you haven't started looking yet, have you?"

"Ask a few, either the distance is a bit far, or the house price is too high. With your little money, you can't go up or down. It's embarrassing."

"That's fine."

"what?"

Chi Yu said: "Just now, Guo Fan called me to borrow money. He said that the crew couldn't get out of the pot. I was soft-hearted and said that I could invest 1000 million in it."

"..."

Su Aifei was speechless, rolled her eyes, and said, "Okay, anyway, it's your own money, you decide for yourself."

"I just don't know, how to invest in the 1000 million? Is it the kind of personal investment?"

"Yes. Personal investment is also available now."

Su Aifei nodded, then hesitated, and said, "Actually, you can also register a company and invest in "The Wandering Earth" in the name of the company."

"Is it convenient to register a company?"

"There's nothing wrong with that."

Su Aifei said: "If you want to register a company, I will go back tomorrow and find someone to do it for you. If you take the fast track, it will be done on the same day."

Sure enough, the background is strong.

Chi Yu was not talking about this, he said: "I'm not talking about speed. Of course, it's better to hurry up. Director Guo seems to need money urgently. What I want to say is that I am an employee of the company now, and I can register myself. Company, is this inconvenient?"

"this is nothing."

Su Aifei nodded, and then suddenly said: "Why don't you add me? Then no one in the company can say anything."

Sure enough, the boss's sister is the manager, with a strong background.

Having said all this, what else can Chi Yu say?

"That's how it is. Let me talk to Director Guo and ask him to come back in two days. Let's settle the company's affairs first, and then talk about investing in movies."

"Row."

Su Aifei said, and then asked with a smile: "Just now Ruobai asked me if she could also participate."

"Hiss. Is she serious? This is actually for investing in "The Wandering Earth". It is estimated that there will be very few opportunities to invest in other movies in the future."

"Why not? Even if you don't invest in movies, you can invest in other things, right?"

"How do I feel that you are pushing me to be independent from the company?" Chi Yu was a little bit dumbfounded when he heard Su Aifei's words, and said, "Let me declare first, I don't care about the company's affairs."

"Don't worry about it, don't you still have me?"

"I see, you want to be independent, right?"

"Haha, nothing. We are considered a studio, yes, it is a studio."

Su Aifei laughed twice, and said: "Besides, you are now an actor with three best actor trophies, and it is completely reasonable to have your own studio."

"I don't know if it's reasonable, but I always feel that you should tell your sister."

"Of course I will. Don't worry, my sister will definitely agree."

After hanging up the phone, Chi Yu was suddenly a little dazed.

What is your situation now?

However, he still called Guo Fan: "Director Guo, the day after tomorrow, what my agent means is to register a company for easy operation."

"Okay, then I'll wait for your news. There is no rush for a day or two."

Before hanging up the phone, Guo Fan thanked Chi Yu solemnly: "Thank you, brother!"

It made Chi Yu a little embarrassed: "Thank you, I am one of the main creators of this movie. I am just like you, and I am eager to see it come out, and then shock people's attention!"

"Yes, shocking people's eyeballs!"

After borrowing money, Guo Fan was in a very good mood, and his fatigue was swept away.

Then I smoked a cigarette until it burned my hand.

Naturally, he couldn't smoke half of a cigarette forever like Ye Weimin did.

If he knew that Ye Weimin only smoked half of cigarettes, he would probably have the idea of ​​picking up cigarette butts.

On the other side, at home in Beijing, Su Aijia was lying on the bed reading a book.

Seeing that the time was almost up, she gracefully placed the bookmark where she read it, then closed the book and put it on the lamp table beside her.

Then I got out of bed and went to the bathroom, looked at my phone again, and got ready to sleep.

Just as I lay down and was about to turn off the lights, I heard my phone ring.

"It's so late, what's the matter?"

Seeing that it was her younger sister's phone, Su Aijia muttered and connected immediately.

Then I heard from Su Aifei that she would start an investment company with Chi Yu to invest in "The Wandering Earth".

Regarding Chi Yu's starting a company, she agreed with it with both hands.

Anyway, Chi Yu is still an employee of the company, and the employees of the company start a company. Is there any problem?

completely fine.

And in the future, if it is convenient, Sutang Media can also hold shares in Chiyu's company, and similarly, Chiyu can also hold shares in Sutang Media.

In this way, it is a strong alliance to create greater value.

At present, many companies are taking this path.

And there are many good outsiders, not enough for outsiders.

"I knew you would agree, sister."

Su Aifei said happily: "Sister, you don't know. When Chi Yu asked me just now, I was still worried that the company would think that it was not good for him to do so."

"Really? What did you say?" Su Aijia asked with a heartbeat.

"I said it's normal to open a studio. But he said it's too troublesome."

Then Su Aijia's mind appeared Chi Yu's appearance.

What does he usually look like?

In the spare time of filming, most of the time, Chi Yu likes to spend most of his time in quiet places, such as the courtyard house deep in the flowers, such as the office given to him by the company.

Just sit there, holding a thermos, reading, or writing, and be a quiet and handsome man.

He really seems like a person who doesn't like trouble.

Su Aijia smiled, and asked again: "How is he doing in Director Chen's crew now? Is it going well?"

"Well, it went well. But he said that he hasn't been filmed yet."

"Well, you can go back and ask Chi Yu, when we can get someone to visit the set after his scene is filmed. Oh, remember to ask him to get along with Director Chen and don't make up his own mind."

"Well, I know."

"How about Ruobai?"

"It went well, too."

"What about you? Take good care of yourself when you are away from home."

"I'm fine. Sis, you should go to bed earlier."

The two hung up the phone and smiled slightly.

The next day, after morning exercise and breakfast, he came to the set with a thermos, and Chi Yu saw a scene that made him worry.
