Shenhao starts from system downtime

Chapter 331 Capital Chain Break

Gao Yalin, a well-known actor, screenwriter, director, and producer, once starred in "Family with Children", can be said to be a household name and has become a childhood memory of many post-90s.

Since 2010, Gao Yalin has basically retreated behind the scenes. Now this "In the Name of the People", he is both the producer and the producer, accounting for 20% of the investment of the whole drama.

Compared with when he was young, Gao Yalin is a little fatter now, but he is only slightly fat, not too fat.

In Meiyuan, many old drama characters are chatting and laughing, and there are bursts of laughter.

But in the smoking room of Meiyuan, Li Lu, the director of the whole TV series, was frowning. He never put down the phone in his hand. He smoked one cigarette after another. The ashtray was full of cigarette butts.

Gao Yalin walked outside the smoking room, looked at the smoke in the smoking room, sighed softly, and then stretched out his hand to open the glass door of the smoking room.

"Old Li, it's almost time. Food has already started to go ahead, so it's time to go back."

Looking at Li Lu with a somewhat decadent expression inside, Gao Yalin frowned slightly, and said softly to Li Lu.

"How many investors have come?"

Li Lu turned his head to the side, and he asked Gao Yalin.

"Five."

Gao Yalin first sighed deeply, then responded softly.

"A total of fifteen investors, and finally five came, hehe..."

Li Lu pressed the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray, and he walked out of the smoking room with a little sarcasm on his face.

"Lao Li, don't put too much pressure on it. The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. Isn't it still more than half a month before the start-up? Let's find a solution for the funding problem."

Gao Yalin looked at Li Lu's body filled with depression, he stretched out his hand and patted Li Lu's shoulder, and comforted him.

He and Li Lu have been good friends for many years, and he knows how much effort Li Lu has poured into this film. It took 700 days to polish the script and design the movie script. Even the screenwriter's remuneration was paid in advance from Li Lu's own pocket.

Now that the show is finally about to start, the result...

Crashed!
Of the fifteen investors, ten broke the contract.

The originally estimated 6000 million yuan investment, based on the current situation, is a gap of [-] million yuan from the expected [-] million yuan investment.

Forty veteran actors, with a total salary of 4000 million, the investment that can be obtained now is just enough for the salary of these actors, and the remaining production costs...

zero!

In such a situation, how could Li Lu not worry.

"The symposium still needs to be held, and the meal still needs to be eaten. Now we can't hide the situation of our crew, so we can only tell the truth to Mr. Zhang and Mr. Wu. If they are willing to let us deposit their salary Pay later, then we can start the machine first, and then solve the funding problem while filming.”

"In short, this drama must be filmed!"

The red blood in Li Lu's eyes was very thick, and his tone was firm, as if he was about to die.

"Let's go."

Gao Yalin patted Li Lu's shoulder again, and motioned softly.

Li Lu responded. He looked at the people in the Meiyuan, took a deep breath, and then strode towards the Meiyuan.

……

"Well, this salted duck is not bad. The skin and flesh are tight, fresh, salty and tender. It is indeed the signature restaurant of Huaiyang Cuisine in Jinling. It is indeed a bit up-to-date."

After the waiter started to present the dishes to the table, Lin Qian didn't pay attention to anything, just picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

Jinling Salted Water Duck, Famous Soft Duck, Boiled Dried Shredded Dried Shredded Dried Shredded Duck, Lion Head with Crab Meal...

The signature dishes of Huaiyang cuisine were served one after another, and Lin Qian tasted them one by one, and each dish gave him a lot of novel taste experiences.

Just as Lin Qian was savoring delicious food, he suddenly felt that there was someone more beside him. He saw that the rather bulky middle-aged man who was originally sitting opposite him had sat next to Lin Qian at some point.

"Little brother, from Eggshell Media?"

The middle-aged man spoke to Lin Qian with a smile.

Hearing the middle-aged man's question, Lin Qian looked him up and down, then nodded slightly.

"What do you call my little brother? I'm Guan Lishan, the project manager of Haisheng International Media."

Seeing Lin Qian's lukewarm attitude, the middle-aged man's expression remained unchanged, and he introduced himself again with a smile.

"My surname is Lin."

Lin Qian filled a spoonful of crabmeat tofu with a spoon, and put a full spoonful into his mouth. It was so delicious that Lin Qian's eyes lit up three points. After tasting it, he casually responded to Lishan.

"Brother Lin, have you heard any recent gossip?" Guan Lishan suddenly lowered his voice a little, and said with a gossip look on his face: "It is said that all the ten investors originally scheduled for our show have broken their contracts. Now that there is a huge gap in the crew's capital chain, our show is likely to end up in a yellow market!"

Lin Qian, who concentrated on savoring delicious food, was originally quite interested in the so-called gossip in Guan Lishan Pass, but after he finished listening, he couldn't help but look at Guan Lishan speechlessly and said, "Brother Guan, what are you doing?" What kind of gossip, you see, there are only two of us on the investor's round table, and this alone is enough to explain everything."

Seeing Lin Qian's speechless expression, and seeing the emptiness of the table, the smile on Guan Lishan's face froze immediately, and then he smiled a little awkwardly.

"Brother Lin, I just want to ask, what is your attitude at Eggshell Media? Are you going to continue to vote for this drama?"

Guan Lishan glanced at Li Lu and Gao Yalin who were walking not far away, and asked Lin Qian in a low voice.

"That's natural. If I don't plan to continue to follow the vote, why am I here? Is it just for a meal?"

Lin Qian squinted at Guan Lishan, and said in a natural tone.

"No, brother Lin, look at the table full of investors and we are the only ones left. Now that the situation is like this, why don't you report to your company leaders?"

Guan Lishan looked at Lin Qian who had been eating happily, his eyes widened slightly, and he said in a very incomprehensible tone.

"There is nothing to report, no need."

Lin Qian replied indifferently, his tone was simply out of control.

The whole Eggshell Media belongs to him, and he is the god of Eggshell Media. Whether to vote or not to vote, to vote more or less, is all in his mind.

"Brother Lin, can you..."

"What a bullshit!"

Guan Lishan's expression was very exciting. He silently extended a thumbs up to Lin Qian, and then ignored Lin Qian. Qian's food was so delicious that he was a little greedy after watching it. He picked up his chopsticks and followed Lin Qian to join in the CD activity.

While the two were chatting, Li Lu and Gao Yalin returned to the round table in the center of Meiyuan...
