Actor: Thank you.

Recently, Zhang Yuan has obtained a large amount of money through endorsements, film remuneration, etc.

Even though most of the investment income he had earned previously had been invested, he still had a lot of funds in his hands.

Excluding the dividends and bonuses given to Fan Bingbing, Ning Hao and others, he still had nearly 6000 million in funds.

Shu Chang is temporarily in charge of this money, which is distributed among various accounts.

Changchang has suggested many times that the money should be invested to buy another property, or at worst, put it in a bank for a fixed deposit or buy some financial products.

At least there's some interest.

But Zhang Yuan rejected them one by one.

Although this money seems like a lot, it is actually just a drop in the bucket if you really want to do big things.

And he saved the money just for today!

"I came with money." Zhang Yuan stood in front of the bed, looking solemnly at Hu Ge, who was still seriously injured, and Cai Yinong, who was exhausted.

He told the truth first, but then mixed it with lies.

"I should have come earlier."

"But I scraped together some money these days, went to the bank, mortgaged some properties, and got some money on hand."

"So I'm late."

"I'm here, just rest assured and recover."

"Don't worry about the money."

"The film is waiting for you, and the role is waiting for you too."

"You are the protagonist. If you are not here, how can the crew continue to work?"

After hearing what he said, Boss Cai was stunned.

These days, apart from the unknown life and death of Hu Ge, what made her most exhausted was the large number of colleagues who took advantage of the situation!
After Hu Ge got into trouble, at least twenty bosses from large and small film and television companies called her.

Apart from offering some condolences, most people have only one purpose.

"Hugo is injured now."

"Your company's The Legend of the Condor Heroes is in need of a leading actor."

"It just so happens that someone here is very suitable..."

Accidents are bound to happen when filming, but no one wants to face a major accident like this where something happens to the main character.

The later "Monster Hunt", after changing the protagonist, invested another 7000 million to supplement the cost!

If something goes wrong with the protagonist, it will be a big trouble for any producer.

For sugar men with small arms and legs, it is a disaster.

Other companies are eyeing this opportunity and want to take advantage of the opportunity!

Martial arts movies are very popular right now, and of course Zhang Yuan has contributed to this popularity.

After all, the most popular work at the moment is his "The Return of the Condor Heroes".

His fans are going crazy for the couple with Liu Qianqian!

Therefore, the works of Mr. Jin, especially masterpieces like "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", are now popular among whoever plays them.

I'll take advantage of the fact that something happens to you so that I can replace the leading actor.

In that case, the movie is made by you, the sugar man, but the one being promoted is me, how wonderful!

Others simply predicted that Tangren could not come up with a second Hu Ge, and no one could take on the role of Guo Jing.

But they underestimated Boss Cai.

I didn't expect this woman to be so stubborn.

After rejecting everyone, he planned to stop the crew and wait for Hu Ge to recover.

When those people heard her plan, they either sneered and told her to think it over carefully, or cursed and said she didn't understand the film and television industry at all.

Over the past week or so, Zhang Yuan was the only person who shared her support for Hu Ge to continue to star in the film.

Not only did he not add insult to injury, he also brought life-saving money.

"Are you serious?" Boss Cai asked softly with trembling lips.

"of course."

"Do you support Ge continuing to star in the film and are you willing to support him financially?"

"Yes, that's why I'm here."

Boss Cai's tear glands, which had been dry due to crying too much in the past few days, became moist again. He hugged him tightly.

I still feel that you are greedy for my body... Zhang Yuan had no choice but to pat her on the back a few times to comfort her.

"I'm so glad you said that!"

[Received thanks from Cai Yinong, Observation +4, Negotiation Skills +3, Endurance +5! ]

Then you may be happy too early... Zhang Yuan didn't say what was in his heart, but just smiled.

Hu Ge also tried his best, turned his head slightly, and looked at him with red eyes.

These days, there are at least eighty people who come to comfort him.

What they said was pretty much the same.

"fine."

"Will be fine."

"Let's wait until you recover."

"Take good care of your injuries, and work will be a piece of cake."

Only when Zhang Yuan came, not only did he not comfort me, but his words were particularly "stimulating".

It's not the content that stimulates him, it's the stimulation of his nerves.

Basically it means...

What’s the big deal? It’s just a disfigurement. Get up and get to work!

It was like someone was pulling him forward.

Or in other words, not only did he not take my accident seriously, he didn't even treat me as a patient.

Hu Ge just thought that the other party just wanted to cheer him up in this way.

Unexpectedly, the other party not only gave me strength, but also gave me hope.

Hope is the crew that has just started work.

"Are you kidding?" Hugo asked with difficulty.

"Do I need to joke about this?"

"Besides, I don't need your role. I wouldn't want it even if it was given to me."

Hugo: ...

What you said makes sense, but why is it so hard to hear?

Hu Ge knew that the other party was telling the truth.

Others might focus on the role of Guo Jing, but Zhang Yuan wouldn't.

He has acted in movies directed by Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou, so he really has no shortage of roles to play the leading roles in a TV series.

"Boss Cai and I will discuss what's next."

"You should recover quickly. Every day is money. Do you understand?"

"Woo..." Hu Ge agreed with a sob.

[Received thanks from Hu Ge, singing skills +2, appearance +2, hosting skills +3, vitality +7! ]

Hugo suddenly felt that his weak body seemed to have a little strength.

This is the power of hope.

People are afraid of having thoughts.

Only if you have dreams can you live.

"You should rest." After saying that, he and Boss Cai left the ward.

"Hello." As soon as he came out, he saw Xue Jianing, who was holding a washbasin, with a pale face and dark circles under his eyes.

"Hello, Cheng Hao often mentions you to me."

Don’t be fooled by her young appearance, she is actually one year older than Cheng Hao.

She and Hu Ge have a typical sister-brother relationship.

"You go ahead and do your work. I won't disturb you." He just said hello and left in a hurry.

Xue Jianing entered the ward and saw her boyfriend with red eyes and trembling all over.

"What happened to you!"

"doctor!"

"I'm fine, just excited." Hu Ge took a few deep breaths and then told him what had just happened.

"He is willing to help you..." Xue Jianing couldn't believe it: "Why?"

"He and I have known each other for a long time."

"You and Cheng Hao are sisters."

"Maybe it's because of these two levels of relationship." Hugo said after a little thought.

"Oh...it's possible." Xue Jianing thought to herself, no wonder Cheng Hao, such a smart woman, is always surrounding him, it turns out he is so nice.

At the same time, Boss Cai, who was being talked to in detail by Zhang Yuan, thought the same.

The relationship between Hugo and him, plus the relationship between his two girlfriends, these two levels of connection are already close enough.

In addition, this is not the first time Zhang Yuan and Tang Ren have worked together, so there is affection between them. As expected, in times of crisis, you have to rely on old friends.

"Boss Cai, let's find a suitable place to discuss this matter, shall we?"

"To my office?"

"it is good."

Soon, the two arrived at the Tangren Film and Television office in the MH district of Magic City.

Boss Cai is not often seen in the office here, as the main staff are all in Hengdian.

So the office seemed a bit deserted.

But this is just right for them to chat.

After he sat down, Cai Yinong personally made him a cup of tea.

"Thank you very much for coming."

"This is very important to both Hugo and us sugar people."

Boss Cai thought that Zhang Yuan was indeed different.

Before, no matter who came to see Hu Ge, he was still in a daze.

Only after he came, this great treasure of his became full of energy and spirit.

"As it should be, we are all friends."

Zhang Yuan smiled and waved his hand.

"Yes, yes, we are all friends." Cai Yinong quickly replied: "Then let's not talk about our differences."

"Regarding your willingness to invest in The Legend of the Condor Heroes, we can come up with a detailed plan."

"I will definitely give you returns and profits that exceed your expectations..."

"and many more!"

Boss Cai was expressing his goodwill passionately, but unexpectedly, he was interrupted by Zhang Yuan raising his hand.

"I think you may have misunderstood."

"I never said I was going to invest in The Legend of the Condor Heroes."

"All I said was that I support him to continue to be the lead actor."

"What?"

"You...are not?" Boss Cai felt like his CPU was going to burn out.

She recalled that Zhang Yuan had indeed never mentioned investing.

What he said was that he brought money with him to support Hu Ge as the lead actor... Doesn't this mean investing in a TV series?

Cai Yinong suddenly shuddered all over, and all the hairs and goose bumps stood up.

At that moment, she recalled the fear she once felt when she was dominated by Zhang Yuan.

From being stopped at the airport when they first met to being surrounded by hooligans in Taiwan.

Then there was that time when he punched a hole in his own door at night...

Only then did she remember that the other person was usually very kind.

But once its fangs are exposed, it is scarier than any other wild beast.

It's almost at the level of a ferocious beast!

She suppressed her emotions and asked carefully after a long time.

"Then what do you mean?"

Zhang Yuan did not answer directly, but told the story slowly.

"According to my analysis and investigation, the lack of a leading role in the TV series after Hu Ge's car accident is actually the smallest and least noticeable problem faced by Tang Ren."

"In addition, sugar people will also face the following major problems."

Zhang Yuan stretched out his fingers one by one.

"In Hengdian World Studios, you spent tens of millions to build the filming scenes."

"Apart from the construction costs, Hengdian has to collect rent, and the overdue fees are not a small amount."

"I heard that because of the subject matter, this play is selling quite well."

"You have already sold the film to the three channels of Xiamen, Taizhou, and Zhejiang Education and Science."

"Now we have to wait for Hu Ge to recover. The film will definitely be overdue, and Tang Ren will need to pay a large amount of liquidated damages to the TV station."

"At the same time, the contracts of other actors will also expire."

"Your options are to pay the penalty or re-sign the contract and give compensation."

"Either way, it's a big expense."

"This isn't over yet."

"As far as I know, the film and television copyright of The Legend of the Condor Heroes that you hold is about to expire, right?"

"Your shooting schedule was very tight to begin with, and it was almost a limit operation."

"Now that Hugo is in trouble, there is no way you can complete the filming within the copyright period."

"But the trouble is not the copyright renewal fee."

"Huace has already paid a deposit to Mr. Jin, and they will buy out the film and television copyrights for the next few years!"

"How should Sugar Man respond to this?"

"Presumably, it is nothing more than spending a lot of money to 'rent' the copyright from Huace, or directly giving Huace a share of the TV series' revenue to obtain the right to use it."

"No matter what, the other party will definitely take the opportunity to ask for a high price."

This is why Zhang Yuan came.

Apart from the actors, sales, shooting locations, film and television copyrights, all aspects of this drama had problems!
The penalty for breach of contract in Hengdian is as high as several million.

The TV station’s penalty for breach of contract is tens of millions!
The actors' losses also amounted to several million.

Huace, which is about to acquire the copyright, will definitely take a big bite of the meat.

Originally, Sugar Man was all-in and wanted to make a big splash.

The previous sugar figurine production of "Young Generals of the Yang Family" not only failed to make money, but also lost a lot of money.

This time he invested all his money, hoping to make a profit in one day.

I didn’t expect that something happened to Hu Ge!

Tangren’s capital chain collapsed.

Boss Cai has been contacting banks or seeking private loans these days.

She has already planned to mortgage all her properties and even sell most of her film and television copyrights to get through the difficult times.

This is also in line with Boss Cai's consistent style. In the early days, Sugar Man grew bigger and stronger step by step relying on Boss Cai's personal connections.

But this set of things is of no use to the young actors who came later.

The times have changed.

It would be impossible for Hu Ge to fully recover in less than half a year, or even a year.

The bank will only add icing on the cake and will not lend a helping hand when you are in trouble.

The interest rates for private lending are frighteningly high. To put it bluntly, it is actually usury.

So during this period of more than a year, until the payment for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" came in, even Cai Yinong herself had no confidence whether Tangren could survive.

What she is facing now is the "perfect state" of collapse on three fronts.

Tang Ren’s current situation is almost equivalent to Emperor Guangwu of Han being trapped in Kunyang.

Just waiting for a big meteorite to fall from somewhere to help me.

Seeing that his current predicament had been completely exposed by Zhang Yuan, Boss Cai felt ashamed of being naked in front of him.

"What exactly do you want to achieve by saying this?" Boss Cai became more cautious.

"I'm just helping you analyze your dilemma."

“You can only solve problems if you face them first.”

"And I'm here to help you solve your problem."

"Solve the problem?" Boss Cai looked hesitant.

"Yes, I'll take care of the copyright issue."

"I'll take care of the sales of the film."

"I'll take care of all the liquidated damages!"

"But nothing I do is in vain, I need a reward." Zhang Yuan was no longer polite.

"what do you want?"

"I told you, I came with money."

"I want to use this money to invest in shares."

"I will help you through this difficult time by investing in Sugarman."

Hiss... After hearing this, Cai Yinong felt a chill down his spine.

Others took advantage of the situation and at most stole some pots, pans, tables, chairs, and benches.

He was so good that he set his eyes on my property certificate as soon as he entered the door!

Zhang Yuan licked his fangs slowly.

I had already told Cheng Hao that he was waiting for dinner.

What I am waiting for is not Hu Ge's buffet, but the sugar man... (End of this chapter)
