Chapter 182 Uncle Fu
"I'm going to the company. You guys have a good rest for the day. Wake up in the afternoon and go shopping or something."

After receiving two big looks, Chen Xinghe said goodbye angrily and rushed to the company, buying two breakfasts on the way.

When he arrived at the office, Chen Xinghe quickly finished two breakfasts. After a long night of work, he was really hungry. He was really hungry this morning and ate twice as much as usual.

After finishing the meal, Chen Xinghe looked at the report table on the table and looked at last month's income and expenditure.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Zhao Ting arrived at the company and came to Chen Xinghe's office, "You're here so early."

"Well, didn't you get up early to exercise?" Chen Xinghe responded with a smile.

"Why do I think the dark circles under your eyes are so serious? You'd better pay attention to your health and get more rest."

Wouldn’t it be serious to have dark circles after exercising all night? Chen Xinghe thought to himself in his heart, but did not show it on his face. He responded with a smile, "I understand, Sister Ting. I came back too late yesterday. Come early tonight." Just sleep and have a good night's rest."

Zhao Ting nodded, "Yeah, that's fine. I made an appointment with the Olympic bidder yesterday. He will come to the company before nine o'clock."

"Okay Sister Ting, is the post-production of "Under One Person" like this? I haven't paid attention to it for more than a month."

"Director Jiahe is keeping an eye on me. Don't worry, he is much more interested in you than you are."

"Don't I have too much to do? Let him continue to work on "Bad Person" after he finishes the post-processing of "Under One Person"."

"Row."

After talking about work, Zhao Ting chatted with Chen Xinghe about home affairs, then left to deal with other matters, while Chen Xinghe continued to read the report.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Chen Xinghe heard a "dong dong dong." knock on the door. He adjusted his instruments, took out a pair of Prada goggles from the drawer and put them on before saying: "Please come in."

A man in his 30s with glasses walked in the door. When he saw Chen Xinghe, he quickly introduced himself, "Hello, Mr. Chen, I am the director and the screenwriter of the movie "All or Nothing" and I am bidding for the Olympics."

Hearing the words of the director of the Olympic bid, Chen Xinghe responded with a smile: "Hello, director of the Olympic bid, you don't have to be so polite. We are both graduates of the Beijing Film Academy. Since we are related, I should call you senior brother."

"Mr. Chen is so polite, but compared to you, I haven't brought much glory to the school, and it's really a shame to add any color to it."

"Don't say that. Compared to the seniors in school, I'm still far behind. Please sit down."

The two chatted for a while, and then got down to business, "Director Shen, how much investment do you think this movie needs?"

"Mr. Chen, I'll tell you the truth. I made a budget a long time ago, and I also found a location for the film's shooting. Not counting the actors' remuneration, the production cost is about 5500 million."

As the director of the Olympic bid spoke, he looked at Chen Xinghe, his eyes revealing sincerity.

Chen Xinghe nodded. This investment was not much different from what Chen Xinghe expected.

"Then let's make a total investment of 3500 million from the 9000 million actors' salary." Chen Xinghe said directly.

"What about your salary?"

"My salary is 1500 million. It shouldn't be a problem to hire a few capable actors for the remaining salary. By the way, I have already decided on the two roles of Lu Bingkun and Anna. Who do you want to hire to play the other roles?"

The reason why Chen Xinghe invests his own money and gets paid for the film is because he was reminded by Fu Ruoqing, the former director of China Film Group Corporation, who said that film remuneration and investment should not be confused, and it is best to get whatever they deserve. Chen Xinghe thinks he is right, but for his own movies, There is nothing wrong with charging less for the film.

"Mr. Chen, I think Zhao Dongran's character, Teacher Yongmei, is the most suitable person to play. Pan Sheng and Lu Bingkun are the two most difficult leading actors, and you and Wang Chuanjun are two talented actors. The other characters are relatively easy to portray. .”

"Okay, as long as you have goals ahead of time, take a good rest these days. The crew will be set up soon."

Hearing Chen Xinghe's words, the candidate's face was filled with joy, and he quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your support. I will definitely do my best to make this movie."

After seeing off the Olympic bid, Chen Xinghe went to the editing room upstairs and found Li Jiahe staring at the editing. After chatting with him for a few words and asking about the progress of the editing, he called Lao Xu and left the company together.

"Where is Xinghe going?"

After getting in the car, the driver Xu Wenbin asked about Chen Xinghe.

"China Film Group."

At present, Chen Xinghe and Fu Ruoqing are very happy to cooperate, and Chen Xinghe learned from Wen Muye that the future head of China Film Group is likely to be Fu Ruoqing, and film distribution is the top priority of the film. Cooperation with China Film Group always suffers No loss.

Soon the car arrived at China Film Group Corporation, because he had called Fu Ruoqing in advance. Under the guidance of the excited receptionist, Chen Xinghe soon arrived at Fu Ruoqing's office, "Mr. Fu, Mr. Chen is here."

"Xiao Chen, come in quickly. Come in quickly." Fu Ruoqing stood up and welcomed Chen Xinghe through the door very enthusiastically.

"Mr. Fu..."

Before Chen Xinghe could finish what he said, Fu Ruoqing quickly interrupted him and said, "What's your name, Mr. Fu? Last time we drank, you said you were about the same age as your father. Just call me Uncle Fu." Chen Xinghe understood Fu Ruoqing. His enthusiasm was due to the high box office of the movie "Life Events", but this did not prevent him from climbing up the pole, "Okay, Uncle Fu."

"Hey, that's right. Apart from official business, in private, it's fine that you and I are the uncle and nephew of each other."

The China Film Festival will elect a new chairman next year. Originally, this matter had little to do with him. However, after the box office hit after the release of "Life Events", his name appeared on the list for the next election, and the voice continued. As the box office of "Life Events" approaches 50 billion, his voice is getting louder and louder.

If he is really elected as the chairman because of this "Life Event", what does it matter if he becomes a real uncle and nephew.

"Uncle Fu, I have another project now. I think this movie is very exciting. Do you want to see if China Film Group has any idea of ​​investing in it?"

"Yes, I must have an idea." Fu Ruoqing's eyes changed when Chen Xinghe said he had a new project.

"Uncle Fu, here is the script, please read it." After Chen Xinghe said this, he took out the script and handed it to Fu Ruoqing.

Fu Ruoqing did not read the script directly, but poured him a cup of tea first, "I prepared this in advance when I heard you came to the company. Try it."

Chen Xinghe took the tea and sat on the sofa to rest, while Fu Ruoqing read the script seriously. Although he was not a filmmaker, he had studied the script after being immersed in the film and television industry in the past few years. .

After a while, Fu Ruoqing put down the script, looked at Chen Xinghe and tapped the table with his fingers twice, "The script is a good one, but it may be very difficult to film it."

Chen Xinghe was a little puzzled, and then asked: "It shouldn't be difficult just to shoot, right?"

"It's not difficult to shoot. It's rare that there's some external pressure. Some movies can't be made just because you want to, but..."

At this point, Fu Ruoqing paused and looked at Chen Xinghe.

Chen Xinghe frowned, but soon regained his composure and said, "If you have any difficulties, Mr. Fu, just tell me."

"Xiao Chen, what did I just say?"

"Uncle Fu."

"Yes, that's right. There is a lot of external pressure when shooting this subject, especially when it comes to external and public legal issues. However, this also varies from person to person. I will help you find a way to solve these troubles, but I must be the producer and producer of this movie." Fu Ruoqing said with a smile.

"Of course, it's perfect for you, Uncle Fu, to take the lead."

After Chen Xinghe finished speaking, Fu Ruoqing instantly showed a hint of joy, "Seeing that your investment budget is 1 million, let's see how it goes. Although I am very optimistic about this script, after all, China Film Group Corporation is not my sole proprietor. In order to avoid risks, China Film Group Corporation invested 2000 million yuan." It’s okay to hold 20% of the shares.”

"No problem, of course no problem." Chen Xinghe's face was full of joy. I will give you a name, and you will give me a profit. Uncle Fu, you are really my good Uncle Fu.

"By the way, besides China Film and your Canruo Xinghe, who else are you going to ask to participate in the company?"

"Penguin Pictures is very close to me, so I'm going to bring them together this time." Chen Xinghe thought for a while and told Fu Ruoqing the truth.

"Yes, this circle cannot operate without capital. You are right to recruit Penguin, but there is another company you should consider carefully."

"Which family?"

"Wanda."

When Chen Xinghe heard that it was Wanda, he was a little stunned, "Wanda? It's not appropriate, isn't it? Wanda Film and Television just sold 49% of its shares to Ruyi. Now, wouldn't it be fun to bring Wanda and Penguin together? ?”

Fu Ruoqing smiled and said to him as if he were looking after his own child: "Son, Wanda Film and Television is a film and television business, and its business is film industry. Although their film and television investment company has some conflicts with Penguin, after all, we are a family now, you know? The film industry comes in to attract theaters, and they will only remember you selling well to them."

Chen Xinghe nodded. If Wanda is really involved in this way, it is not impossible. As for whether it will reduce Canruo Xinghe Studio's shareholding? There’s no need to worry about this, because it’s impossible to be alone in this industry. Otherwise, no matter how good your film is, if you don’t schedule it and there’s no market, it will be a dead end.

"Uncle, I have a good relationship with Penguin, but I have nothing to do with Wanda. Can you please come forward and call them out for an appointment?"

"Hey, that's right. Don't worry. It's just a phone call. Let's go have a meal together later. I'll introduce you to Xiao Chen. This time, I'll give you some benefits and not let you suffer. I'll leave it to you. How about 40% and 20% each for the remaining two families?”

"No problem, uncle, thank you."

"What you said, uncle, can you suffer a loss?"

Then Fu Ruoqing made a phone call in front of Chen Xinghe, and Chen Xinghe also called the person in charge of Penguin Pictures.

At 12 noon, people from several parties met in a private restaurant.
