Chapter 288 286. Busy, Teacher Chen is really busy!
Winter is about to pass, and there is only one tail left, but it seems a little reconciled, and there is another light snow before the arrival of early spring.

Under the eaves of the studio, Bai Qing was holding a cup of tea, looking at the slowly falling snow, his thoughts drifted away.

Chen Li'an came out from inside, looked at her and said, "Is there something on your mind today?"

"No, I'm just thinking about how to draw that painting, and it lacks a little feeling." Bai Qing took a sip of tea and turned to look at Chen Li'an and asked, "How is that part of your painting?"

"Same as you, I didn't think about it." Chen Li'an sighed and said: "This topic is not suitable for me, or the propositional composition is a bit difficult to write."

"Art creation will naturally be restricted once it is proposed." Bai Qing thought for a while and said: "In fact, you don't need to participate in the exhibition, and other themed exhibitions are much more free."

Chen Li'an shook his head and said, "I promised, I will definitely participate in the exhibition."

"What's the point of you doing this." Bai Qing handed the cup to Chen Li'an, stretched himself and said, "I went back to draw and just thought of an interesting place."

"Well, you go, I'll go out for a while." Chen Li'an returned the teacup to Bai Qing and said.

"It's okay, don't get involved in the crowd of women, your heart is disturbed."

"understood!"

Chen Li'an's voice echoed in the empty courtyard, and Bai Qing turned back helplessly. Chen Li'an's energy was too high and his thoughts were mixed, and he hadn't created quietly for a long time.

Bai Qing was worried that Chen Li'an would not be able to draw in the future.

After leaving the studio, Chen Li'an walked to the entrance of the alley. The driver was already waiting there. Liu Tao was also sitting in the car. Just as he was about to open the door to open the door for Chen Li'an, the driver next to him said, "No need to open the door, Chen Li'an. The teacher doesn't like it."

Liu Tao was stunned for a moment, wondering if he should believe the driver's words.

The driver didn't care if she believed it or not, anyway, he kindly reminded her.

When Liu Tao was struggling, Chen Li'an had already walked to the car door and opened the door to get in the car.

"Go to the company." Chen Li'an said directly after sitting down.

Liu Tao took a sneak peek and found that Chen Li'an was not in any mood. He was relieved and gave the driver a grateful look.

The driver put down the handbrake and stepped on the accelerator without any reaction, and drove towards the advertising company.

Sitting in the back seat, Chen Li'an said to Liu Tao, "Did you send the information about Huanzhu from Qiongyao?"

"It was sent yesterday, and I have a copy here." Liu Tao immediately flipped through his bag, took out two thick folders and handed them to Chen Li'an.

Chen Li'an took it and opened it for a while, then couldn't help frowning and closed it again.

Poor Yao had too many conditions, she had to decide the casting, and the actors had to sign with her company, and the investors couldn't intervene in the filming yet.

Isn't this just looking for someone to take advantage of? Chen Li'an rubbed his eyebrows and asked: "President Chen hasn't answered yet, right?"

"No, it's just letting out the news that a cooperation is about to be reached." Liu Tao immediately replied.

Chen Li'an hummed and closed his eyes to think about how to discuss cooperation with Qiongyao. In the field of TV dramas, Qiongyao is the only one in China. Although he is very helpless, there is no way.

It is very difficult to take the initiative in cooperation with Qiongyao. This woman is greedy and dark-hearted, as you can see from her writing.

The car arrived at the company in a short while, and Chen Li'an went directly to Chen Meiren's office. Chen Meiren, who was confinement, had already been at work for several days. She planned to finish her business of returning the beads quickly and travel to America with Chen Li'an to get married.

After Chen Li'an went in, he saw her and Li Dabai discussing the contract there.

"Li'an, why do you have time to come here? Aren't you painting in the studio?" Chen Meiren raised her head and asked strangely.

Li Dabai also called out to Mrs. Chen, and then sat beside her and stopped talking. She still didn't dare to act strange in front of Chen Meiren.

Chen Li'an didn't talk nonsense, and sat across from Meiren Chen and said, "You took the initiative to release the news about the cooperation with Qiongyao? Someone called me today."

"Well, is there any problem with doing this?" Chen Meiren asked strangely: "Who called you?"

Li Dabai was listening at the side, couldn't help but glance at Chen Meiren, first asked about the business, and then asked who called Chen Li'an, whether he was too professional, or he was used to Yingying Yanyan by Chen Li'an's side.

Chen Li'an shook his head and said, "No problem, but I saw the conditions of Qiongyao on the way here, and it was a bit too harsh."

"It's a bit harsh. Dabai and I are discussing it." Chen Meiren explained: "Poor Yao's daughter-in-law will arrive in the capital tomorrow, and will formally meet to discuss the details of the cooperation."

Chen Li'an hummed and said: "She can't agree to all the conditions. We also have the right to decide the first casting, and we have to supervise during the second filming. As for the signing of actors, the roles we have decided cannot be signed with her."

Chen Meiren nodded, thought for a while and said, "But Qiongyao probably won't let go. We can only choose two leading actors at most. I know her too well."

"Two are enough, but the little swallow must be decided by us."

"This is a bit difficult. If Qiongyao doesn't like it, she won't agree."

"Then try to convince her."

"."

Li Dabai sat by the side and watched Chen Li'an suspect that he had agreed to someone else's role, and Chen Meiren thought the same way, wondering who this person was.

Even for Jiang Qingqing and Chen Zihan, Chen Li'an had never arranged this way before, it was definitely weird.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Chen Li'an asked strangely, "You don't think I've promised this role, do you?"

Chen Meiren and Li Dabai nodded at the same time.

Chen Li'an said speechlessly: "You guys have misunderstood. I just feel that this drama will become popular. If you don't get the protagonist in your hands, you won't be working for the poor."

"Why should I invest millions of dollars in a drama? I'm crazy to invest in TV dramas."

It's a pity not to catch a group of stars who can directly win a group of stars, and they are stars with high national popularity.

A TV series can make money, but the money it makes is considerable, but stars are different. With the nationality of Huanzhu, as long as they don't kill themselves like swallows, they can eat for a lifetime.

The money he earns is much more than a TV series. Chen Li'an not only needs to earn money from the TV series, but also earns money in the future.

When doing business, you must not let go of a little bit of profit, and as a human being, you must not pay attention to returns.

Chen Li'an has always been very clear about the division. Chen Li'an didn't expect to make more money from investing in Huo Jianqi and Jia Zhangke, mainly because of favors.

But Zhang Guoli's Kangxi, Poor Yao's Pearl Return, Chen Li'an did it as a business, so naturally he had to consider how to make more profits.

Just because you don't care about money doesn't mean you're an idiot.

It's just that Chen Li'an's rhetoric obviously couldn't convince Chen Meiren and Li Dabai.

Li Dabai didn't say anything, he was used to hearing what Chen Li'an said, and he wouldn't contradict Chen Li'an, but Chen Meiren was different, she just wanted to find out who Chen Li'an promised this role to.

Chen Li'an looked at Chen Meiren's more serious appearance, and said helplessly: "I really didn't tell anyone else. It was because a friend called today that I remembered this, so I came here to talk to you."

Seeing Chen Li'an's serious expression, Chen Meiren believed it in her heart, and stopped worrying about this issue.

Chen Meiren is in charge of Qiongyao's drama, Chen Li'an will not intervene in the negotiations later, but Fan Bingbing will come over tomorrow, and he will come over to ask, so as not to prevent Chen Meiren and Li Dabai from deliberately embarrassing others.

Chen Li'an wouldn't be free today if he didn't intervene in the matter of returning the pearl, and Zhang Guoli came over again today.

Chen Meili is not popular enough to hold back Zhang Guoli, an old fritter, so Chen Li'an can only come forward.

Cooperating with Qiongyao is nothing more than negotiating and playing the emotional card, but people like Zhang Guoli have to be tougher.

This is the third time Zhang Guoli has come to ask to continue filming the second part of Kangxi.

It has been a long time since the first round of the first part has been played, and the second part has not moved yet.

"Mr. Chen, I really can't wait any longer. It will take almost a month to prepare the crew, and it will be too late if it is delayed."

Zhang Guoli looked at Chen Li'an anxiously, he was really convinced in his heart, and his patience was really exhausted.

Even if he didn't want to give in and bow his head, he could only come to Chen Li'an at this time, the initiative to sign the contract was in his hands.

Zhang Guoli now really regrets that he was too greedy at the time, and blindly signed a contract with Chen Meiren for the super high salary and dividends.

Originally thought that Chen Meiren was in charge of this project, who would have thought that Chen Li'an would talk to him about these things later, but now he was angry and didn't dare to say anything, and he didn't dare to play the emotional card, so he could only grind slowly.

Chen Li'an looked at Zhang Guoli and said, "Now I can prepare the production crew. During this period of time, my capital chain cannot be opened."

Zhang Guoli's expression froze for a moment, he didn't even write a draft for lying, did he?Lixin VCDs sold like crazy during Chinese New Year!

I really thought that the advertisement for the Spring Festival Gala had no face!The news has been reported several times, and Lixin VCDs sold at least hundreds of millions of sales during the Spring Festival!

Zhang Guoli thought that this was Chen Li'an deliberately prevaricating himself, and was about to say that he had prepared 200 million yuan to invest in it, when he heard Chen Li'an said calmly: "Now that the funds are sufficient, I am going to give 90.00% of the direct investment. Your 5.00% plus your original [-]% dividend is already quite a lot.”

"Mr. Chen, you are a businessman, and the capital chain is so important, why not keep more in your hands." Zhang Guoli said sincerely: "I can add 20.00% of the investment."

"Don't think about it for me." Chen Li'an smiled and said, "It's not easy for you to make some money, so be careful if you lose money again, that's the deal."

"But."

"Come on, get ready to prepare the crew."

Chen Li'an directly interrupted Zhang Guoli's words. It was Chen Li'an's mercy to give 5.00% of the shares plus [-]% dividends.

If it weren't for the desire to continue this series for a long time, Chen Li'an wouldn't have given away so many shares so easily.

Looking at Chen Li'an's unquestionable expression, Zhang Guoli sighed helplessly in his heart, it was really unwise to be greedy for money last time!And it's not level!

The first time he was inexperienced, and the second time Chen Li'an directly cut off all the retreats, this time he had no chance at all.

I can only wait for Kangxi to finish filming, and then reorganize myself to shoot another drama.

I will definitely not cooperate with others next time!Zhang Guoli made up his mind to save money in the future, and wanted to make a drama by himself.

After Liu Luoguo and Kangxi Zhang Guoli have tasted the sweetness, I have already started thinking about what I will shoot in the next series.

Chen Li'an didn't care what he wanted to shoot, he made Kangxi's money first.

After Zhang Guoli left, Chen Li'an just wanted to go back to the studio to continue painting when his cell phone rang.

Chen Li'an glanced at it, and found that it was Mr. Zhou calling, so he picked it up and asked, "Is the filming over today?"

"Well, I just came back to rest." Mr. Zhou coughed on the hotel bed, took the phone and said, "I don't have enough money, and the film is almost used up."

"What's going on? Didn't Lao Jia say that more than 30 yuan is enough?" Chen Li'an asked curiously.

"I used too much film, and now I have no money." Zhou Gongzi explained helplessly: "The director was a little excited, and he couldn't control the filming."

Chen Li'an: "." This is good news, passion can create good movies.

"I'm going to invest more in film for him." Mr. Zhou sniffled and said, "You ask someone to bring us a hundred tapes, 35mm."

"Is one hundred reels enough?" Chen Li'an calculated in his mind. Thirty reels of 35mm film can take more than 400 minutes at most.

"The director said enough." Mr. Zhou thought for a while and said with a little worry: "Then you can send two hundred discs."

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to send it over right away."

"Well, hurry up, the crew's film won't last for a few days."

Chen Li'an chatted with Mr. Zhou for a few more words before hanging up the phone. He was not surprised that Jia Zhangke's budget exceeded the standard.

As directors, I can't help but take pictures. Jia Zhangke, a poor director, is far behind Jiang Wen.

When Jiang Wen filmed The Devils Are Coming, he could use up the amount of Jia Zhangke's film in one day.

In this way, Lao Jia is simply a model for saving money!

Thinking of this, Chen Li'an planned to send Jia Zhangke some more film, two hundred sets would not be enough, and five hundred sets would not be much anyway, just over a hundred thousand.

It’s better to be a director like Lao Jia, who saves money and can make good movies, unlike TV dramas, where the cost of a drama is several million, or even tens of millions.

Chen Li'an called Liu Tao and said to her, "Arrange for someone to buy five hundred sets of 35mm film and send it to Xiao Wu's crew. Do you know where it is?"

Liu Tao immediately shook the notebook in his hand and said, "Yes, Sister Dabai wrote it down for me."

"Okay, then you go."

Chen Li'an felt that he was very busy today, all the things came together, first the pearl was returned, then Kangxi, and then Xiao Wu came, and he didn't know if there would be other things after that.

Chen Li'an looked at the time on his phone. It was almost six o'clock, so he didn't plan to go to the studio at all, and planned to go home and rest.

But just as he stood up, the phone rang again!

Chen Li'an really wanted to throw the phone away!Why is there no end!
Looking at the unfamiliar number, Chen Li'an directly picked it up and said, "Hello! Who are you?!"

Chen Li'an's voice was very impatient, and Xu Qing on the other end of the phone was also taken aback for a moment, and shouted angrily: "Did you take the gunpowder?"

Xu Qing wanted to hang up the phone after speaking, but she paused and shouted into the phone again: "I'm Xu Qing! The director asked me to inform you to have a meeting in the factory the day after tomorrow!"

After shouting this sentence, Xu Qing hung up the phone!Princess Xu really has no temper!
"It's all Huo Jianqi's fault! I must notify you!" Xu Qing couldn't help but cursed.

Listening to the busy tone on the other end of the phone, Chen Li'an couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

"Old Huo is really bored! He didn't tell me when he called yesterday, but he insisted on asking Xu Qing to call me!"

　The recent schedule is not good, and the body is a little bit unbearable, so I didn't update it last night. I will change the update time to noon update later, and the two chapters will be together.
