Chapter 318: Tears of gratitude, want to worship my godfather!
Chapter 318 I am so grateful that I want to become my godfather~!
Sister He He was familiar with all the Cheng girls from Second Life Star, so she naturally recognized Zhang Aiai and Li Muchen at a glance.
Chen Jincheng had just sent Li Xiaoling and the other two away, but he actually took two more back?
"Chen Jincheng, what do you mean?" Sister He He stepped forward and asked angrily.
Chen Jincheng knew why Sister He He was angry, and explained with a smile: "Haven't you invested in a lot of film and television projects? Let them come over and see if there are any suitable roles for them."
Hearing this, smiles appeared on Li Muchen and Zhang Ai'ai's faces. What they cared about most now was the issue of roles.
Sister He He didn't care about that and asked directly: "What about what I told you before you left for the airport? I've bought all the clothes."
Chen Jincheng is now really convinced by Sister He He.
Too persistent.
He shook his head and said, "Sister He He, look, I sent Li Xiao Ling and the others away, and I spent the night with them. Now that I've brought them here, shouldn't I spend the night with them first?"
Really, he felt that he had gone too far. After all, he did let the other person eat a bite of his food.
But what he didn't expect was that when Sister He He heard what he said, she said viciously: "Then you can only accompany them for one night, and then it's my turn. Three times is the limit."
After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the hotel with the clothes in her hands, leaving him with a graceful and beautiful back.
"Uh!" Chen Jincheng really didn't expect Sister He He to be so tolerant?
Is she a Ninja Turtle?
"Boss, you and Sister He He." Li Muchen asked in a low voice.
Zhang Aiai also looked at him curiously.
Everyone watched the boss’ live broadcast yesterday, so they naturally know that this top lady on the list is a loyal fan of the boss.
Now, from what Sister He He said, it's clear that there's something going on between her and the boss.
Surprisingly, Chen Jincheng did not answer. He took the two girls inside, but found that Sister He He was already at the service desk.
He walked over with the two girls, and she said to them, "Give me your ID cards, and I'll get you a luxurious room so you can have more fun with your boss."
“???” Li Muchen.
“???” Zhang Aiai.
Both of them looked at Sister He He in confusion. She asked them to have more fun with the boss, but it didn't sound right to them.
Zhang Aiai only felt her heart beating faster.
Could this be a special arrangement by the boss to give her special hints?
She used to be a minor actress in the film and television industry and had heard too much gossip. There were too many examples of hints being given in a roundabout way.
Thinking of this, she subconsciously glanced at her boss, then took out her ID card with a puzzled expression and handed it to Sister He He.
Seeing this, Li Muchen also handed his identity to Sister He He.
Sister He He had already handed her ID card to the waiter at the service desk and booked a room for the two girls.
After the two girls got the room cards, she personally went to press the elevator. Looking at Chen Jincheng who was still in a daze, she called out, "What are you still standing there for? The elevator is coming down."
After entering the elevator, Chen Jincheng finally couldn't help asking, "Sister He He, what tricks are you playing again!"
"Chen Jincheng, are you touched by my thoughtful arrangements for you?" Sister He He asked back.
Chen Jincheng said speechlessly: "Why should I be moved? I am a little panicked now. There is something wrong with you."
Sister He He snorted, "Have fun tonight. Tomorrow it's my turn. Don't let me down, or I'll be really angry."
“……”Chen Jincheng was stunned.
At this moment, his cell phone rang. He looked at the number and saw it was from Guo Fan, the director of "The Wandering Blue Planet". Apparently, he would be arriving soon.
After answering the call, Director Guo's voice came over: "Mr. Chen, this is Guo Fan. I've arrived in Beijing and am on my way to the hotel. Let's have lunch together at noon."
Seeing that this was indeed the case, Chen Jincheng also smiled and said, "Director Guo, there is no problem with having dinner together, but I will make the arrangements."
"Then let's listen to Mr. Chen." Guo Fan responded immediately.
When Chen Jincheng hung up the phone, Zhang Aiai and Li Muchen were already staring at him.
They knew that this must be Director Guo from "The Wandering Earth", but they didn't know if they would have the chance to be involved in this movie.
You know, the boss invested 2.1 million in this movie.
After a while, the two girls moved into their own room. It was really a luxurious king-size room, really big.
This shows that the hotel is very honest in this regard.
In Li Muchen's room, after Chen Jincheng followed her into the room, she put down her suitcase, closed the door, and then pulled her to sit on the sofa. She sat on his lap, hugged him with both hands, and buried her head in his shoulder.
The two of them just hugged each other like that, without any unnecessary movements.
Li Muchen also let his hand wander, and whispered, "Boss, why didn't you look for me?"
"I'll go find you, do you dare?" Chen Jincheng said jokingly in her ear: "Could it be that they got your cousin and Ai Ai drunk again, and you secretly sent them there?"
When Li Muchen heard her embarrassing story being told to her face, she asked with a shy face: "Then why don't you ask me to go to the hotel? It's not like I can't find an excuse to stay out all night. I can just say I'm going to an event and then go to the hotel to accompany you."
"Aren't you staying with me in the hotel now?" Chen Jincheng said jokingly, "Don't shout at night. I want to see you hold back your voice the whole time. It must have been very tempting."
"Boss..." Li Muchen was embarrassed. After a while, she remembered the important matter and asked in his ear: "Boss, you asked Sister He He to make special arrangements and even indicated to us in person that you wanted to play with us. Do you also want to sleep with Sister Ai?"
"Fuck, don't wrongly accuse me." Chen Jincheng immediately said righteously: "Sister He He is sick. She acted on her own. It has nothing to do with me."
Li Muchen answered the question irrelevantly: "Do you want to sleep with Ai Jie?"
"Am I that kind of person? Don't insult your boss's character." Chen Jincheng was speechless. Why are these girls like this? Do they really think she is the kind of scumbag who wants to sleep with every girl he sees?
Li Muchen still smiled and said, "Give Sister Ai a role as the heroine of a drama, and I will test her."
"Cough...cough!" Chen Jincheng coughed in shock at the words. Is it necessary to be so direct?
Or is the entertainment industry just so direct?
It's kind of destructive to your worldview, okay?
"I understand." Li Muchen laughed sweetly.
“???” Chen Jincheng was even more speechless. What did she understand?
Did he say anything just now? …
In a car, Guo Fan hung up the phone and looked at Wu Jing, who was accompanying him, with a distressed look on his face: "Hey, I really don't know how to tell Mr. Chen."
Wu exclaimed, "If I had known earlier, I should have stopped you from telling the truth about the special effects production, then there wouldn't be this problem."
"Who would have thought that the other party didn't even have this little confidence? Didn't they see that President Chen had so much confidence in us? There's really no way to compare people." Guo Fan couldn't help but sigh.
Chen Jincheng promised to invest 2.1 million yuan to develop special effects for him. He was planning to restore the perfect special effects plan and was ready to go all out.
Who would have thought that suddenly three more investors would withdraw their investment, with the total amount reaching 3 million.
They found it hard to accept that the cost of the film had increased to 6.5 million.
They have no confidence that a movie can make a profit of 20 billion.
So, now the situation is at a stalemate. Either give up on making perfect special effects, persuade them not to withdraw their investment, and then Chen Jincheng will not want the 1.5 million special effects investment, but only the initial 6000 million investment.
Either they agree to withdraw their investment, then Chen Jincheng's extra 1.5 million investment still won't be enough to produce perfect special effects, and the entire investment cost will fall on Mr. Chen, which is a bit unfair.
"Forget it, it seems we really can't make perfect special effects." Guo Fan finally sighed: "Tell Mr. Chen that we don't want the 1.5 million investment, and convince the other three parties not to withdraw their investment."
Wu Jing nodded: "The return risk of our movie is too high. We really can't put the investment cost on Mr. Chen."
The two talked and made a decision.
Not long after, the two arrived at the hotel and called Chen Jincheng. Not long after, the two saw Chen Jincheng coming down from the stairs with two girls beside him.
When Guo Fan and Wu Jing came here, they also got to know the girls of Ershi Xingchen. They knew that these two girls were Cheng girls who specialized in shooting plot videos.
What impressed them most was that these two girls had acting skills, which were not comparable to those internet celebrities like Ershi Xingchen.
Chen Jincheng also helped the two of them to complete the check-in procedures, and then quickly called Sister Hong, Sun Ji, and Zhao Lei over.
Since these two were being entertained at lunch, people from the Second Star Film and Television Department would naturally participate.
The subsequent signing was still carried out by Sun Ji, Zhao Lei and Guo Fan.
After briefly introducing each party, they went to the restaurant together.
Wu Jing was surprised to see this restaurant: "I've heard of this private restaurant, but most people can't make a reservation. I've been in Beijing for a while, but I haven't tried it. I didn't expect to be able to try it today thanks to Mr. Chen."
Chen Jincheng smiled and said, "It's all because of Mr. Lei. He reserved a private room here during this period of time."
This made Guo Fan and Wu Jing sigh with emotion. Yes, although the other party is already very powerful to them now, there is an even more powerful boss behind the other party.
To be honest, I really envy each other for this.
After all, not everyone can rely on that kind of big boss.
The dishes came out quickly.
However, Chen Jincheng found that there was something wrong with the atmosphere.
After sitting down, Guo Fan and Wu Jing kept looking at each other subconsciously for several times. It would be strange if nothing happened.
Finally, Guo Fan couldn't hold it in any longer and said awkwardly, "Mr. Chen, I'm really sorry. There were some problems with the film project again. So, I'm embarrassed to come here today to see you."
When Chen Jincheng heard this, he subconsciously asked, "Did any investor withdraw their investment?"
In the previous life, "The Wandering Earth" had no other problems except funding issues.
Now that we have sufficient funds, it is unlikely that any problems will arise.
That should be the only problem that Mr. Lei is worried about.
Guo Fan was stunned when he heard this: "Mr. Chen, have you guessed this?"
Wu Jing also looked at Chen Jincheng with surprise. Now only the two of them knew about this problem. For fear of causing panic among other investors, they did not tell anyone else.
Now Chen Jincheng actually guessed it out of thin air, isn’t this too amazing?
Chen Jincheng did not take credit for this: "This is what Mr. Lei said after I went off the air yesterday."
"Ah!" Guo Fan was even more surprised. You know, at that time they had not received any news that the three investors were going to withdraw their investments, but President Lei actually guessed it first.
However, they think it is normal for such a big boss. After all, without this ability, how can he reach that position and become such a big boss?
Afterwards, Guo Fan said embarrassedly: "Mr. Chen, so, I'm sorry to reject your kindness. We plan to give up your 1.5 million investment and proceed as planned. You only need to invest 6000 million."
Chen Jincheng was a little confused when he heard the news. He finally caught Director Guo and invested an extra 1.5 million yuan. He could have a big piece of cake, but now the cake in his mouth has to be taken back from him?
This is a bit much.
So, he also asked Guo Fan: "Director Guo, even if you compromise in this way, are you sure that 6000 million will be enough in the end? Besides, this movie is like a child to you, right? Do you want it to be released with imperfections? It could have been more perfect."
When Guo Fan heard this, it really hit him in the heart, but sometimes reality is irresistible. He could only sigh and say, "Mr. Chen, sometimes people have to succumb to reality. After all, if the three investors don't withdraw their capital, we will face a gap of 1 million."
Hearing this, Chen Jincheng's eyes lit up and he said hastily, "I can back Director Guo up. We, Second Life Star, will pay for the 1 million."
"Ah?" Guo Fan was shocked when he heard this. He had thought about whether there was any way to get this person to invest at the bottom, but he was embarrassed to do so. After all, the other party had agreed to invest 2.1 million yuan in a movie and another 1 million yuan. No one would do this in the domestic capital market.
If they really have such capital, directors like them who spend a lot of money will kneel down to the other party, really, that is because their godfather is above them.
Therefore, they were all embarrassed to put all the costs on this person, but who knew that the other party would take the initiative to increase the investment.
Chen Jincheng's face was indeed full of joy, this good thing really happened, he had to continue, adding this 3.1 million, he accounted for 10 million, almost half, the box office share alone could get more than billion, not to mention the surrounding and overseas copyright and network copyright income.
But obviously, Guo Fan and Wu Jing had no idea of the sensation this movie would cause in the future, and were directly shocked by Chen Jincheng's decisiveness.
Seeing this, Chen Jincheng also said righteously: "Director Guo, really, I admire your persistence in film and your pioneering spirit. Similarly, I also like the movie "Wandering Blue Planet". I hope it can be perfectly presented and let everyone prove that we can have hard science fiction. We can also proudly tell the world that this is our movie. Then, as an investor of this movie, I will be very proud."
Really, Guo Fan doesn’t know what to say now.
Mr. Chen's words made his heart surge and his blood boil. He could even imagine what the situation would be like at that time.
When the time comes, he will definitely say everything Mr. Chen said today in the interview, so that everyone will know Mr. Chen’s contribution to the film.
Everyone says that the other party is an outsider and an internet celebrity, but his attitude towards movies is incomparable to any insider.
In the end, his excitement was reduced to just one sentence: "Mr. Chen, do you need anyone else at Second Life Star? My contract with Walker has ended for this movie, and I want to go to Second Life Star for the next sequel."
