Chapter 18 Get your wish
Shi Nansheng's eyes were a little hot, and he stared at Lin Qingxia closely, which made Lin Qingxia a little confused. Recalling Cai Zhiliang's expression before, he said uncertainly: "It should be so."
"That's good. I'm worried about who to invest in." Shi Nansheng finished handling the matter at hand and walked to sit next to Lin Qingxia.
However, Lin Qingxia did not understand Shi Nansheng's thoughts and asked: "The filming of that movie has already started, but the funds have not been received yet?"
"Alas..." Shi Nansheng sighed and began to tell Lin Qingxia exactly what happened in "A Better Tomorrow".
After finishing it, he said: "Wu Sheng makes movies too expensively. If we continue shooting like this, the funds originally used for the post-production of the movies will not be enough."
Lin Qingxia looked at Shi Nansheng, who was suffering from an acute illness and sought medical treatment, and said with a smile: "Even if people are interested in this movie, they may not invest in it. Otherwise, Zhao Shuo was here last week, how could Cai Zhiliang not know about this movie?"
"
"Let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor. Isn't he a fan of yours? During the negotiation, you were just a side drum. What if the negotiation was successful?" Obviously Shi Nansheng was not optimistic either, but he did not expect that Cai Zhiliang was regretting losing his investment at this time.
A Better Tomorrow opportunity.
"Forget it, let's talk about "Dao Ma Dan". My husband and I are very optimistic about you playing Cao Yun. How are your preparations?"
"You shouldn't ask me, have you finished writing the script?" Although Lin Qingxia has confirmed to play Cao Yun and heard Cai Zhiliang's narration, she still has not read the complete script.
"It's almost done." Shi Nansheng stroked Lin Qingxia's black and smooth hair and said, "But this hair is a pity."
Lin Qingxia smiled and said: "Then I have to think about it again."
While the two were talking, Cai Zhiliang and his party also rushed to Shi Nansheng's office.
"Hello, Ms. Shi."
Shi Nansheng smiled and said, "Sheng Cai, I prefer to be called Mrs. Xu."
"Okay, Mrs. Xu, just call me A Liang. Where is Director Xu?"
"He went to Happy Ghost to play a guest role and will be back soon." Shi Nansheng was obviously stunned when he saw Li Jie behind Cai Zhiliang. He obviously did not expect that Cai Zhiliang would get involved with Li Jie. Regarding Cai Zhiliang's investment in "A Better Tomorrow"
The probability has inevitably dropped by a few percent.
It seems that Xu Ke likes to make guest appearances very much. He can be seen in many movies, not only in the movies of New Art City, but also often in the movies of New Art City's rivals, Jiahe and Debao.
While Shi Nansheng and Li Jie were chatting, Cai Zhiliang found a seat close to Lin Meiren and sat down. Just as he was thinking about how to strike up a conversation, Lin Qingxia spoke first: "Just now, we were filming "A Better Tomorrow" over there.
》.”
"Um?"
Seeing Lin Qingxia's real face up close, the graceful beauty is so eye-catching. Cai Zhiliang couldn't help but take a few more glances, and for a while he couldn't follow Lin Qingxia's thoughts.
"That's the line you heard, Zhou Runfa's line..." Lin Qingxia reminded.
Cai Zhiliang also felt that it was not polite just now, so he sat upright and said, "I heard just now, are you going to visit the class soon? I am also going to go to Zhou Runfa to sign autographs, but unfortunately there are no stills from "Shanghai Bund"."
The visit was obviously not Lin Qingxia's purpose, so she asked instead, "We will discuss this later. Aren't you here to discuss investment?"
"Yes, I'm here today to talk about the investment in "Dao Ma Dan". Since Ms. Lin is confirmed to play the heroine, I can guarantee that funds will not be a problem." Cai Zhiliang looked confident.
"I don't have that much charm." Lin Qingxia smiled, stroked the hair in front of her forehead, and continued, "It's not "Dao Ma Dan", it's "A Better Tomorrow." Are you interested in investing?"
Cai Zhiliang was admiring the beauty stroking her forehead, but he didn't want to be asked so coldly, so he said: "The filming of that movie has already started. There is no shortage of investment."
Lin Qingxia said: "There are still some post-production costs."
If it is said that the post-production expenses are insufficient, then it is not misappropriated by the pre-production.
Cai Zhiliang leaned towards Lin Qingxia, then pointed at Li Jie who was chatting with Shi Nansheng, and said, "Do you know who he is?"
Lin Qingxia followed Cai Zhiliang's direction, glanced at it, shook her head, and waited for Cai Zhiliang's next words.
Cai Zhiliang said with a smile: "He is the investor of "A Better Tomorrow" and is ready to divest."
Lin Qingxia was not a qualified lobbyist, so she couldn't help but blush when she heard this. Fortunately, Shi Nansheng came over at this time and relieved the beauty's embarrassment.
"Cai Sheng, I heard from Mr. Li that you are interested in investing in "A Better Tomorrow"?"
Lin Qingxia did not expect that reality would change so quickly. She glared at Cai Zhiliang, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment.
Cai Zhiliang did not answer Shi Nansheng, but looked at Li Jie beside her and asked: "Ajie has decided?"
Li Jie nodded and said: "If we make additional investment, the cost will be close to five million. Ah Liang, I advise you to consider it."
The cost increase again became the last straw that broke Li Jie. Now Li Jie just wanted to withdraw the funds. Li Jie was obviously very resentful about the film. In front of Shi Nansheng, he persuaded Cai Zhiliang not to invest.
Shi Nansheng frowned and said: "This movie is produced by Xu Ke. The quality of the movie is absolutely guaranteed, and there is no need to worry about the box office."
Shi Nansheng only mentioned Xu Ke as producer and did not mention director Wu Yusen. He obviously knew that mentioning Wu Yusen at this time would not be flattering.
Only then did Zhao Shuo react and asked: "Do you want to invest in "A Better Tomorrow"?"
Cai Zhiliang patted Zhao Shuo on the shoulder and said, "Don't be so surprised. I think this movie has great ideas."
Zhao Shuo's face instantly darkened, and he thought to himself, in recent years, there have been few movies that were either well-received or not well-received. There have been a lot of movies with ideas that hit the market.
"A Liang, should we talk alone?"
Cai Zhiliang did not expect that the problem did not come from Li Jie, but from Zhao Shuo. He was speechless for a while.
Shi Nansheng glared at Zhao Shuo angrily and asked, "How about we avoid it?"
Cai Zhiliang still insisted on keeping his money safe, waved his hand and said: "No need, let's talk about investment while Ajie is here."
Zhao Shuo did not give up and continued: "Should we discuss it with Boss Cai before making a decision?"
Zhao Shuo also knew about Cai Minghe’s investment.
Cai Zhiliang pointed at Peng Cheng and said: "Ah Cheng can represent the third uncle. I also think this movie is good."
After speaking, Cai Zhiliang also winked at Peng Cheng.
When he heard Cai Zhiliang calling him, Peng Cheng could only helplessly spread his hands and said: "Yeah, I also think this story is good."
Cai Zhiliang waved his hand and said: "Okay, two to one, I will invest in this one."
Zhao Shuo glared at Peng Cheng and was about to speak, but was stopped by Cai Zhiliang. Then he turned to Shi Nansheng and said, "Investment is okay, but I have a few conditions."
Since the negotiation is in a favorable position, it is natural to put forward your own demands.
