China Entertainment: I just want to give my child a home

Chapter 319 Investment? Actually it’s not necessary (Please subscribe!)

"Yang Mi, when was your studio established?"

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Zhong Lifang suddenly asked Yang Mi this question.

Yang Mi thought that this was a hint from Zhong Lifang.

After a pause, he said, "To be honest with you, Manager Zhong, we are already going through the process."

In fact, she has always been worried that the company would control the voice of her studio.

Now that the topic has come to this, and under the influence of alcohol, Yang Mi wanted to make some things clear in advance.

So as to avoid causing unhappiness to everyone in the future.

"Director Chen, Manager Zhong, my studio can accept Dongcheng's investment, but Dongcheng is a big company, so they shouldn't be concerned about my right to speak, right?"

Zhong Lifang was not sure about the answer. She glanced at Chen Dong, but he was eating seriously, as if he had not heard their conversation. She pondered for a while and continued to test Yang Mi, "How much investment share can your studio open to Dongcheng?"

Yang Mi had obviously thought about this question a long time ago. When she heard Zhong Lifang ask it, she stretched out three fingers without hesitation.

"Thirty percent."

Zhong Lifang glanced at the boss again, and seeing that he still had no reaction, she said to Yang Mi, "What is the maximum you can accept?"

Yang Mi was actually observing Chen Dong's reaction, but seeing that he seemed indifferent, she couldn't help but think too much.

This time he hesitated for quite a while before reporting a higher figure: "40% at most."

After saying this, both women turned their eyes to Chen Dong, and he finally put down his chopsticks.

Everyone was sitting at the same table. Chen Dong was not deaf, so he could naturally hear what Zhong Lifang and Yang Mi were discussing.

The reason why he didn't join in from the beginning was because the topics they were talking about were not as important as eating.

Or to put it another way, Chen Dong really couldn't think of what benefits investing in Yang Mi's studio would bring to himself?
It seems that apart from making a little money, that's pretty much it.

But the biggest problem is that Chen Dong has no shortage of money.

At this time, he was full and burped. He wiped his mouth with a tissue, then met the two women's gaze and said calmly, "Forget about the investment. But Yang Mi, since you want to open a studio, as... a senior brother, let me give you a tip. Professionals should do professional things..."

Yang Mi was a little confused at this time.

She didn't know if she had said something that offended Chen Dong, so that the "promised" investment was suddenly gone.

As for what Chen Dong said to her, she didn't hear a single word.

Chen Dong naturally had no idea what Yang Mi was thinking. Seeing that she was a little absent-minded, he thought she was thinking about and digesting his warning to her.

Having just drunk a lot of wine, Chen Dong did not plan to go back to the company in the afternoon, but planned to go home directly.

He had already sent a text message to his wife, and now she must be arriving soon, so she called him.

Chen Dong first ended the farewell dinner with the words "All good things must come to an end" before answering the phone and walking outside.

Zhong Lifang is a smart person. At first, she didn't understand why Chen Dong suddenly canceled his investment in Yang Mi's studio. It obviously didn't make sense to say that it was because Yang Mi didn't want Dong Cheng to control her studio, because she believed that Chen Dong's tolerance would never be so small.

Thinking about it from another perspective, Zhong Lifang came to her senses.

At this time Chen Dong had already left, but Zhong Lifang still looked puzzled when she saw Yang Mi.

After thinking about it, he reminded her: "Don't think too much. I guess the real reason why Director Chen no longer invests in your studio is probably... it's unnecessary."

Not necessary?
Yang Mi was getting a little too obsessed with something.

She kept thinking about how she had offended Chen Dong.

Now it seems that she didn't offend him as she thought, but as Manager Zhong reminded him, Director Chen felt that investing in his studio was actually unnecessary.

"Haha, I thought I was worthy of being served at the table, but it turns out that in other people's eyes, I am not even worthy of being served at the table."

Yang Mi laughed at herself, then said a few words to Zhong Lifang before leaving in the car. …

"Why didn't you let me go in and say hello to Yang Mi just now?"

Chen Dong did not answer the question, but turned his head to stare at the fair profile of the female driver, and asked instead: "Are you on good terms?"

Liu Yifei thought about this question seriously for a while, and then said, "It doesn't seem that good."

"Yeah, what's there to see?"

Liu Yifei didn't dwell on this issue too much and changed the topic to continue chatting with Chen Dong, but they were still talking about Yang Mi.

"Which buyer did she find?"

“Be prepared to be your own boss.”

"Opening a studio?"

"Correct."

"Then husband, will you invest in her studio?"

"No need."

"…Well, it seems unnecessary."

That afternoon, Dongcheng Pictures officially announced the expiration of Yang Mi’s artist contract!
Yang Mi subsequently updated a Weibo post, thanking her former employer Dongcheng for taking care of her for eight years, and also took the opportunity to spread the news that she was going to set up a studio. On the one hand, this was to discourage those companies that wanted to recruit her, and on the other hand, it could be regarded as an advertisement for the studio.

……

Yang Mi's departure has had little impact on Dongcheng Pictures, a non-listed company.

At most, it can be used as a topic of conversation when people are slacking off at work.

As usual, Chen Dong arrived at the company around nine o'clock. He first went to the editing room to monitor the post-production of "Comet", and then came to the office to deal with some not-so-much work.

When I have some free time, I go online. After all, the Internet fee is not expensive.

There are really a lot of gossips on the Internet recently——

"After Yuan Hua, Qing Lan, Eason Chan... Jing Tian, ​​Yang Mi, who just left Dong Cheng, also supported Zhao Wenzhuo online."

"Zhen Zhidan said in an interview with the media that if he was wrong, then his mistake was that he went against the public opinion and recommended Zhao Wenzhuo to play the role in "Special Identity"."

"..."

"The first-day box office of "A Simple Life," starring Deanie Ip and Andy Lau, reached 1300 million, proving once again that art films can not only win awards, but also achieve high box office."

"According to an insider, a certain famous director not only concealed his marriage, but also illegally had more children than allowed."

When he saw this news, although the reporter did not mention any names, Chen Dong knew it was talking about Zhang Yimou.

There has been more and more negative news about Zhang Yimou on the Internet recently, and any discerning person can tell at a glance that many of the revelations were made by acquaintances.

It is obvious that the war between him and Zhang Weiying has entered a white-hot stage.

Chen Dong also heard that many film and television companies have begun to contact him, and everyone knows what the purpose is.

Although Chen Dong also wanted to tie Zhang Yimou to his chariot, if he asked himself honestly, he really couldn't offer the same generous conditions that some film and television companies offered to Zhang Yimou.

Ultimately, it’s because his company’s demand for the great director Zhang Yimou is not as high as these companies’.

While I was thinking, my assistant came to report: "Director Chen, Director Xue Xiaolu is here and is in the conference room."

"……okay, I get it."
