compulsory contract

Seeing Xu Yi, Boss Jin changed his domineering attitude just now, nodded and bowed to accompany him with a smile: "Xu Shao, are you here to meet friends?"

Xu Yi glanced at him: "Yes." He cast his eyes on Lu Xingyao who was shy and trapped in the corner, and asked coldly, "Is this President Jin's new love?"

Boss Jin quickly let go of Lu Xingyao: "No, we're just discussing investment, discussing investment, haha."

Xu Yi raised his eyebrows and looked around the surroundings: "President Jin's taste is really unique."

Boss Jin laughed twice, pulled his clothes, and let Lu Xingyao go.

Xu Yi can think of what they "discuss" with his toes. He knows this Boss Jin. The coal industry was in a downturn a few years ago, so he simply quit coal mining. With a lot of money, he came to City B to seek Investment Opportunities.At that time, the rich coal boss did not know what kind of nerves he had, and he took a fancy to the entertainment industry.Wherever there is a plan to raise funds, he will drill there.He has two dollars in his pocket, and the small film crew who have no money are looking forward to seeing him.However, although Lao Jin has been quite successful as a coal boss, his qualifications as an investor are still young and his credit is not very good.It is said that he has been in S City for three years, and he has asked around for movies and TV dramas that he can invest in, but he has only voted for one, and the box office is still extremely poor.If you want to say what he has done in the past three years, he is focusing on spending money to play with various starlets.Every time I said that I wanted to invest, in the end, I saw that something was wrong, and immediately withdrew the capital and ran away.

Unexpectedly, Yang Wenfang's crew also found him.

"Is Mr. Jin talking about film investment again? Which crew is it this time?" Xu Yi glanced at Lu Xingyao, "You actually invited my senior brother to accompany you for a drink. Boss Jin is so proud of you."

Lu Xingyao's face burned up, and he quietly gouged out his eyes.

Boss Jin glanced at Lu Xingyao in surprise: "Master, brother?"

Xu Yi raised his eyebrows slightly: "Not like?"

Boss Jin rubbed his hands together and said awkwardly, "Like, like... I just didn't expect Teacher Lu and Mr. Xu to have such a good relationship."

"It's just average." Lu Xingyao hurriedly interrupted. He didn't want to refute Boss Jin's face. "Boss Jin, let's go back, don't make the director wait too long."

Boss Jin was so guilty by Xu Yi that he wanted to slip away, but when he heard what Lu Xingyao said, he quickly said, "Okay, okay, let's go back."

But Xu Yi blocked their way: "Wait, Boss Jin, my younger brother is also a member of the film industry, and has cast in several films. The investment industry is all about sharing, why don't you share your project and make money together. how?"

When Lu Xingyao heard it, the alarm bells rang in his heart: "Actually, it's not a big investment, it's just a low-budget movie, Xu Yi, you..."

Xu Yi smiled faintly: "Isn't it better to have a small cost? Less investment and less risk. If the script is better, there may be unexpected gains."

Boss Jin was half sober, and when he heard that Xu Yi was interested in this project, he immediately beamed with joy: "Mr. I should call you senior—you have to guide me well."

Lu Xingyao saw Boss Jin's eyes eager for cooperation, and he understood that this Boss Jin, apart from being good at mining coal, doesn't know much about movies, and he can't judge the market demand and film production level.Most investors like this will only follow suit. When they see capital predators entering the market, they will follow suit.Predators eat meat and he drinks soup.In the past two years, the domestic entertainment market has been booming. Even if he drinks some soup, he can earn more money than he used to work hard to mine.

Xu Yi glanced at Lu Xingyao again, and waved at him.

Lu Xingyao's mind was a little dull from drinking, and he didn't react for a while.But in the next second, he was pushed on the back. Boss Jin thought he was not smart enough, so he pushed him to Xu Yi's side.

"Drink so much." Xu Yi looked at his flushed face dissatisfied.

Lu Xingyao rolled his eyes, and denied with a big tongue: "No, I didn't drink much. If Mr. Xu still wants to drink, I can still accompany..."

Xu Yi shaved his face: "I don't drink much, but I have a lot of guts. I can't drink like this next time. Did you hear... let's go."

Looking at their intimate interaction, Boss Jin couldn't help breaking a cold sweat for himself.

Back in the private room, a table of human beings who were drinking so much that they were almost showing their original shape, everyone was surprised for a second when they saw Xu Yi, but they didn't expect that Boss Jin and Lu Xingyao went out to the bathroom, and then abducted them back for a while. Chicken with golden eggs.

Xu Yi saw that director Gao Yichen was also there, and he immediately cleared the door.This movie almost belongs to the type that has the potential of a dark horse, but it may not necessarily become a dark horse.Over the years, there have been countless successful examples of this kind of small-budget, solid script, and well-structured films.But these movies all have a common feature, and no one is optimistic about them in the early stage.First of all, people in the film industry are more impetuous now, and they like to make routine movies.The money that can be earned by using routines is never innovative.

This undoubtedly set a very bad example, causing some filmmakers to cheat and play tricks and lack innovative spirit.Second, because some pioneering attempts failed, leading to the movie box office Waterloo, so directors and screenwriters did not dare to make mistakes with investors' money.Generally, they are innovative and add some routines, which can at least guarantee half of the success.

Yang Wenfang's scripts usually take an unusual path.She is a well-known screenwriter, and her scripts express deep things and unique narrative methods.Others' films are lacking in innovation, but her films are over-innovating, and almost went ahead of the avant-garde.In short, Yang Wenfang's works in recent years are generally a bit cold, as if they were not filmed for the audience, but for the judges of major film festivals.

Investing in such a movie, if you cast well, you will gain both fame and fortune; if you cast poorly, you will lose both fame and fortune.

Coupled with the bastard next to him, Xu Yi looked over his shoulder, Lu Xingyao drank too much, and walked sluggishly.This crew is really amazing, it's not like a family, if you don't enter a family.

"Mr. Yang, you wrote a new script and are going to make a new movie, but you didn't invite me. I'm so sad." Xu Yi pulled Lu Xingyao to sit down, and said to the only sober person in the room.

Yang Wenfang smiled: "Mr. Xu is a very popular star. Our poor crew is really stretched, so we can't afford it."

Xu Yi smiled: "Mr. Yang was joking. I think your crew is not only rich, but also has mines. Look, the famous screenwriter Mr. Yang, the famous realist director Gao Yichen, the actor Lu Xingyao... this luxurious A strong lineup, I don’t feel reconciled if I don’t invest some money.” After a round of praise, in fact, except for Yang Wenfang, the rest of them are either outdated or haven’t made it to the top yet.What Xu Yi said was half for Boss Jin, and half for encouragement.After all, these people were once powerful and had potential.As long as you work hard, ensure the quality, and seize the market, you don't have to worry about making money.

When Boss Jin heard this, he immediately echoed, "I'm voting, I'm definitely voting for this movie!"

Gao Yichen was already lying on the table, already unconscious, when he heard someone talking about investment, he sat up like a dead body: "Okay!" Then he fell asleep sitting up.

Yang Wenfang pushed the director of the fraudulent corpse back to the table.She seemed to feel that the reversal of the dinner was too dreamy. At first, even Boss Jin was about to fly away, but now not only the uncooked duck flew back, but also a golden egg hen. She asked worriedly: "Mr. Xu Do you really want to invest? Are you kidding me?"

Xu Yi said: "If screenwriter Yang is worried, give me the contract now. I've finished reading and signed it. How about having someone deliver it to your house tomorrow?"

Seeing that what he said was quite true, Yang Wenfang took out the contract that he had prepared a long time ago from her bag, and handed it to Xu Yi with both hands: "Mr. "

Lu Xingyao had the urge to grab the contract.On the surface, this contract looks like a pie that fell from the sky, but its origin is unknown!Xu Yi signed the contract without knowing what he wanted to do. Isn't that too hasty?

But when he saw Yang Wenfang's eager face, and thinking that this was the last movie of the nearly 60-year-old screenwriter, he suddenly lost his courage.

Xu Yi said, "Okay."

Boss Jin also hurriedly asked Yang Wenfang for a contract.

Xu Yi looked at Lu Xingyao, who was already blushing from drinking, and took his hand: "I still have something to do with Xingyao today. If Teacher Yang and Director Gao are willing to let him go, I will be very grateful."

Knowing that they had a good relationship, Yang Wenfang quickly agreed, "Of course it's okay, we've eaten enough, right?"

A table of people responded with interest: "That's right, that's right, it's getting late, we have to close the stall and go home!"

Fu Yuhua looked at Xu Yi holding Lu Xingyao in his hands and was reluctant to let go. After thinking for a while, he quietly said to Xu Yi: "Xu Shao, be careful, don't let the reporters take pictures."

Xu Yi nodded: "Don't worry, I know it well."

Fu Yuhua got the guarantee, felt at ease, and ran away without even saying hello to Lu Xingyao, just like a parent who put a child into a kindergarten.

Xu Yi was very satisfied, he pulled Lu Xingyao up and walked out.

Lu Xingyao was dragged into a stumble, and protested behind him: "What are you doing? Where are you going?!"

Xu Yi didn't look back: "My home."

Lu Xingyao was dizzy, barely keeping half of his head clear: "Why are you going to your house?"

Xu Yi smiled: "If you don't go to my house, do you want to take me back to yours?"

Lu Xingyao had a great headache for his carbine-backing. He was so drunk that he walked fast and his head was dizzy, so he really didn't have the energy to fight wits with him: "All right, all right, you can go anywhere, you are the richest, you It's Grandpa..."

Xu Yi said: "You can talk quite well when you're drunk."

Lu Xingyao walked with his eyes closed: "Of course, I'm too tired to move my mouth."

Xu Yi felt itchy to see him so drunk that he let others get what he wanted. He quickly walked a few steps, found his car, and stuffed Lu Xingyao into it.

After being stuffed into the car, with the cold wind blowing, Lu Xingyao felt very comfortable. He leaned on the soft back of the chair and fell asleep quickly.
