Jiang Xun
Chapter 64 Prelude Part 5
After mortgaging his freedom, Jiang Xun started his national award defense non-stop.
It is very difficult to win the National Award, but Jiang Xun has been preparing for this award for four years.Every year, it is a first-class professional scholarship. Jiang Xun's professional performance is also the top in the class, and the most mediocre physical test has a score of over 90.There are usually honors such as the school's three good students and outstanding class leaders, and Jiang Xun also has honors.Jiang Xun also participated in the social volunteer activity with a very utilitarian mood until the average time.In addition, as a class cadre, the relationship with the teachers is also good, and I successfully got the postgraduate quota.
Coupled with the blessing of competition awards in college, the publication of high-quality papers in college, and the patents applied for, it is not very difficult for him to compete for national awards through speeches.
It was within Jiang Xun's expectation to be awarded the National Scholarship, but to his surprise, he was awarded the honors of the city's outstanding graduates and the school's outstanding graduates together.
After showing off on social media, even Jiang Xun felt a feeling that "all efforts will not be in vain".
Gu Fanlin also took a picture of Jiang Xun's school poster on her mobile phone and showed it to her grandparents, because her mother never liked her second brother, so Gu Fanlin didn't show it to Gu Shoujing.
"It is very difficult to get outstanding graduates from the school. There are only a dozen outstanding graduates from the city in our school. Basically, there are only two in each department. Many colleges have less than one turn. My brother's name ranks In the first place." Gu Fanlin's eyes were bright, obviously very proud of Jiang Xun.
The city's outstanding graduates were also a surprise to Jiang Xun.Gu Fanlin has always been victorious, so she asked Jiang Xun about the tricks of winning. Of course, Jiang Xun has the tricks. He studied the conditions for winning scholarships as soon as he entered the freshman year, and taught them all to Gu Fanlin.Even how to prepare the thesis in the sophomore year and how to arrange the spare time in normal times are all tricks.
"Second brother, there is no difference between your university and high school, you still study all day long?"
"There is still a difference. Whether it is a classmate or a teacher, it is more interesting. In addition, I can do a lot of things that I am interested in."
"Then when are you going to play?"
"Our club often participates in comic exhibitions, and we can also invite classmates to compete together. The brothers and sisters in the laboratory will also take me out for dinner."
Gu Fanlin studied it for a while and thought it would be wise to give up the honor of the school's outstanding graduates.
The students who were looking for work and internships in July also returned to school to get their graduation certificates and take graduation photos, and they also had to attend the graduation ceremony together.There are also many students who are planning to go abroad for postgraduate study, and Meng Chun is also preparing to apply for postgraduate studies in foreign universities.
Jiang Xun posted the postgraduate admission notice on social media, and most of his friends expressed their congratulations. Guo Sheng was astounded, he really is a top student.
Ji Shiqian asked him, "I thought you had to go to the company after graduation."
"The company has senior Lin and early morning, so you don't have to go there every day."
Ji Shiqian said in his heart that a big boss like Jiang Xun who gave up his hands is also rare.Ji Shiqian asked him, "Are you ready to learn?"
"Well, why don't you have to study for a doctorate?"
Gu Shoufeng has never had any objection to Jiang Xun's continuing to study as a graduate student. Lin Yue and Li Qingchen at the company also knew about Jiang Xun's preparation for continuing to study. Way.
However, people always have various troubles in the rivers and lakes.
For example, Hou approached him at school to attract investment directors.
Investing in a movie requires selling one's body, how dare Jiang Xun invest in the second one, he gave the director a super business card, "You go to Mr. Lin, talk to him first." Let the slick senior Lin send The director.
"Mr. Jiang, I heard about you from Director Chen. It is true that our project was halfway through shooting, and the investor withdrew. If we can't get the investment, everyone's hard work for half a year will be in vain. Mr. Jiang, please give me It’s time for a cup of coffee, can you tell me about our project?" Although the director was dressed neatly, he could still see the anxiety between his brows and eyes, with a pleading look on his face.
Hearing that the self-introduction was directed by Director Chen, Jiang Xun wondered why Director Chen only knew these people who were short of money.He looked at the time, "We're going to take graduation photos soon."
The director immediately said, "I can wait! As long as I want!"
Speaking of this, Jiang Xun pointed to the coffee shop on the side, "You go and have a seat first, and let's talk about your project after my side is over."
The director followed suit and sent Jiang Xun to the coffee shop. Jiang Xun sighed in his heart. The career of a director sounds very glamorous. Those well-known directors are all brilliant figures when they go out.It's just that it's not easy for ordinary directors to attract investment.
While going to the lake to take graduation photos, he called Director Chen on the way and asked him who this person was.Director Chen said, "It's Xiao Qiao, my younger brother from the same school. The film was halfway through filming, and the investors withdrew. Now the crew has stopped working, and he sold his home house for this film, and his wife divorced in anger. I think Mr. Jiang If you have discerning eyes, let him try it.”
"Where do we have the money to invest in another blockbuster movie?"
"No, no, no, it's not a blockbuster movie. It's a youth movie, which is very popular. The script is short, Mr. Jiang, take a look at it. If there is investment value, you can invest. If there is no investment value, you don't need to invest."
"I don't know. The money you invest will be deducted from your post-production fee!"
Director Chen's expenses exceeded the standard in the later period, so he didn't dare to say anything, and flattered Jiang Xun.
After taking graduation photos, the next step is the graduation ceremony.
Jiang Xun still has to continue studying in this beautiful campus, so he doesn't feel deeply about parting.He followed the green shade to the coffee shop. The director was sitting by the window of the glass box. When he saw him coming from a distance, he got up and went out to greet him.
Jiang Xun heard him talk about the current plight of the project, which is basically the same as what Director Chen said. Investors withdrew their funds, and the follow-up funds were not in place. Now the project has been suspended for ten days. If no money can be found, everyone has to break up and go back to their respective teams Home.
"Let me take a look at the script." A toss-up movie that can divorce and sell a house, the determination is very unusual, it should be a good movie.
The director took it out of the briefcase and handed it over with both hands.
Jiang Xun now has some experience in reading scripts. Movie scripts are relatively short, so Jiang Xun finished it quickly, and he was relieved that he didn't need to invest money.
"Do you mind if I get straight to the point?"
"Boss Jiang just talks."
"It's a total mess. Girlfriends are tearing each other up because of a man. Does anyone still like this old-fashioned plot? Friendship is vulnerable to a scumbag. Can this be a friend? Are you looking down on the IQ of the audience, or are you treating women? What is the bias in friendship? And you two women, who is the first female and who is the second female, the lower the IQ the more you look at it, will anyone invest in this kind of book?" Jiang Xun put the script back in front of the director, "It's Chen It’s useless to guide yourself.”
The director was full of embarrassment, but Jiang Xun persuaded him, "I advise you to stop the loss in time, and it is impossible to make a box office after the filming." Hey, the house was sold for nothing. Selling the house for such a bad movie can't be done with this vision. throw money.
"No, no, the original script wasn't like this. This, it's been revised. Well, the original script is in my mobile phone, and there is a TXT file. Mr. Jiang, please take a look again. Our original script is really good, Well-known adaptation." The director frantically dug out the original script on the phone for Jiang Xun to review.Jiang Xun really had a good temper, so he continued to read it again, "This book is good. Romance movies, very suitable for couples to watch. The original book is even better, why did you shoot according to that bad script." Still can't vote.
The director was embarrassed, "It turned out that I just read the book to attract investment. The leading role is also a popular little flower, and the second heroine is recommended by investors. The young lady will add to the play and change the play. I, I can't do anything about it." , change it back and forth and it will become what it was later.”
This kind of thing is not uncommon in the film and television industry, and Jiang Xun has heard about it before. He Duanxiang, a somewhat skinny director, even though he has no idea for a while, can tell whether the script is good or bad. Let him shoot according to the script. Not a big problem.Jiang Xun finally said, "I know your name. I've seen the short film I made when I was in college. It's very warm and the editing is not bad. It's more suitable for shooting romance themes."
The director was flattered, and the little flame called hope in his heart jumped even more vigorously, "Mr. Jiang, you still know me. I just started in the industry and I don't have much fame."
"How about this. You come back to the company with me, let's talk about the current situation of the project, let's talk about it in detail. If I can take over, I will follow up, but within a reasonable range."
"Is good."
The investment in a romance film is not high. Jiang Xun just asked for [-] million yuan from Gu Shoufeng. After Qingchen made an assessment, he sent someone to buy the copyright of the film and television script from the original company. Yes, part of the director's supplementary funds from selling the house was directly used as an investment in this film.
In addition, because Lin Yue was with Director Chen early in the morning, Jiang Xun took over this project. His first step was to reduce the crew's expenses. The crew was only responsible for the star's personal board and lodging. The hotel was downgraded from five-star to three-star. If you want to eat takeaway, you can order it yourself, and if you want to upgrade the hotel, you also pay for it yourself.
For this reason, Jiang Xun asked Gu Shoufeng's assistant Ning Cheng to help.
Jiang Xun formulates the rules, and Ning Cheng will discuss the details. If he disagrees, the contract will be terminated.
Xiaoxiaohua's manager immediately felt insulted, and immediately wanted to take Xiaohua away.The director found Xiao Xiaohua privately and explained the current situation of the crew. The God of Wealth has found him. Although the God of Wealth has a bad temper, the script is now completely in accordance with the original script, and the second female lead who has changed the drama has been dismissed by Mr. Jiang.This book is pretty good, please let Xiaohua think about it.
Xiao Xiaohua said, "Not to mention, my makeup artist and stylist also need me to pay for it myself, your crew is too good at saving money."
"No, no, Mr. Jiang arranged for a new stylist, the famous teacher Nilu. Teacher Nilu is already buying new costumes. My eldest lady, you should think carefully about it."
Xiaohua quickly weighed it up. Teacher Nilu is also a celebrity in the industry. Being able to invite Teacher Nilu here shows the strength of this boss.Xiao Xiaohua asked, "Which boss is it?"
"You may not know it now, but it is the investor of "Blue Moon". The hundreds of millions of investment in "Blue Moon" are all paid by Boss Jiang alone."
"Since you're so rich, why are you so picky?"
"My eldest lady, Mr. Jiang is fine. If Mr. Jiang hadn't sent the life-saving money, our piece would have been yellow."
Xiao Xiaohua's schedule has been vacated, and the shoot is half done, so it's a pity to leave now.But having said that, she has already shot half of it, and there are still a lot of shots that can be used before. Could it be that she is really told to go?The crew also don't want to bear such a loss, especially the investors are so picky!
Xiao Xiaohua didn't agree with the crew's new contract, so she put on airs.
Director Qiao didn't try to persuade him, so Jiang Xun said directly, "Ask me who else is leaving the crew? Hurry up and audition for new actors." The female lead was also dismissed.
As for the issue of compensation, it is better to go to court.
Xiao Xiaohua was immediately dumbfounded, she didn't expect to ask her to leave, she felt a little regretful, and ran to speak nicely to Director Qiao.Director Qiao discussed with Ning Cheng that Ning Cheng was borrowed by Gu Shoufeng to manage film and television investment for Jiang Xun, and he was still a little uncertain about Jiang Xun's character, so he called Jiang Xun to ask.Jiang Xun said, "Don't cooperate with hypocritical monsters."
So, Xiao Xiaohua had no choice but to pack her bags and leave.
Because of the change of investor, Jiang Xun thought that the crew's morale would inevitably be unstable, so he personally set up a place for Director Qiao to bring the rest of the actors and staff to have dinner together.Director Qiao is very attentive to this drama, and even invited several veteran actors to join him.Jiang Xun asked a most respected person to take the first place. That old drama player was actually only in his forties, but he was ordinary-looking and could only be a powerful person.The entertainment industry has always been dominated by youth and beauty. He is almost middle-aged, so he is naturally an old drama player. He smiled and said, "President Jiang, you are an investor. Thanks to you, we can continue to shoot this drama. We have always been investors. Sit first."
"I've watched your "Tan Xinyue", it's really great. Especially the ending, it's really well received. You are an award-winning senior in the industry. I just entered the industry, so you can sit down."
Everyone pushed back, and Jiang Xun took the first place. He is an old actor on the one hand and the director on the other. The director is surrounded by the male lead, the third female lead, and several other actors.
Director Qiao is also a capable person, and he quickly found a good and cheap actor to fill in the film. Jiang Xun gave Director Qiao the time to shoot within two months, and the later dubbing and editing have been reviewed.
As long as a romance film is sweet enough, warm enough, logically self-consistent, the overall production passes the test, and there is a good schedule, it will be difficult to think about it.In particular, Jiang Xun hated the moaning and pretentiousness in youth dramas the most. He liked youthful love, warm and sweet love, and he didn't have any inexplicable diseases such as youthful pains.
After seeing the film in theaters, they also set the film for the New Year.The Spring Festival stalls have always been a battleground for military strategists, and they are highly competitive, so it is better to stagger them.
By the time of the publicity period, there was not much publicity fee left.
A lot of money is spent, so it's not easy to save money on publicity.
The production fee this time was divided from the [-] million li borrowed from Gu Shoufeng last time. Xiaopu had just been paid a few days ago, and Jiang Xun wanted Xiaopu to continue to work for him, which was a lot of money for a year.
Even if the film loses everything, the company closes down, and Jiang Xun sells himself to Gu Shoufeng to pay off his debts, Xiaopu's money must be set aside first, and nothing can be moved.
Therefore, Jiang Xun still had 3000 million immobile in his account.
Jiang Xun also didn't want to go to Gu Shoufeng. Gu Shoufeng was too treacherous. Last time he let him sell himself. This time, he might sell him for the rest of his life.
After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Xun set his target on Gu Shoufeng's friend Xingchang Wen.Gu Shoufeng has always liked to show off his son, so most of Gu Shoufeng's friends also know Jiang Xun.
That is to say, Jiang Xun knew people who often interacted with Gu Shoufeng.
He often used Gu's lawyer to work part-time for himself. Ning Cheng, who was helping him now, was also Gu Shoufeng's assistant. President Wen was the president of a bank that Gu's often used. President Wen always got close to Jiang Xun when he saw Jiang Xun.First, he asked Ning Cheng about Wen Xunchang, and Jiang Xun called Wen Xunchang to ask about the loan.
Wen Xun asked, "Ah Xun, how could you use the loan? Your father won't give you pocket money anymore?" Everyone knew that Gu Shoufeng sold [-] million yuan, because another bank leaked Jiang Xun's account information, and Jiang Xun was annoyed. , directly asked the lawyer to send a lawyer's letter.Leaking customer information is a taboo in the banking industry. In the end, the account manager resigned and the president was also punished for serious demerits.
"I just borrowed money from my dad last month, so it's not easy to ask. Uncle Wen's place is inconvenient, so it doesn't matter if it's inconvenient?" Jiang Xun has always been straightforward.
"How much?"
"3000 million." In fact, the production cost of a low-budget film is only more than 2000 million. Of course, it will cost less than 3000 million for publicity, but Jiang Xun's purpose is not limited to loans.He smiled and said 3000 million, which is neither high nor low.
"Come over tomorrow, I'm in the line."
Jiang Xun didn't expect to be so happy, so he told President Wen in advance, "I have nothing to mortgage."
Wen Xingchang laughed, "I'll find a guarantee for you with such a small amount of money. Anyway, you can run away and monks can't run away from the temple."
"I would like to thank Uncle Wen first, but please don't tell Miao about this."
"Relax. I have industry spirit."
Wen Xun also asked Jiang Xun what industry he was in and needed a loan. Hearing that Jiang Xun was investing in movies, Wen Xun wondered if Jiang Xun had been fooled.
However, with Gu Shoufeng, it's not his turn to worry about this matter.
This highly efficient romance film with a small investment has an astonishing rate of return.
Director Qiao, in particular, appeared on a dozen talk shows in one go, not only working hard to promote the movie, but also full of gratitude to Jiang Xun.The key point is that Director Qiao also has news hotspots such as selling a house to support the crew to overcome difficulties. Director Qiao said, "The movie was suspended at the time, so I went to Mr. Jiang. Mr. Jiang saw the script that was being filmed at the time and told me directly, what the hell is this?" My son, no one will invest. I said Mr. Jiang and our original script are not like this, and when I get the original script out, Mr. Jiang will fall in love with it at a glance."
Then, Director Qiao talked about the hot topic of killing people by adding drama to drama.
This young director, who is also good at management, holds up half the sky of publicity by himself.
After seeing the box office of this film, Lin Yue sighed, "Romance movies are simply incredible."
"Think about Titanic, it's also a romance movie in essence." However, Jiang Xun admitted, "It also shocked me, I thought as long as it didn't cost money, it would be considered charity."
"You're really good too. Anyone who rushes to the door can earn money."
"If you are a good person, you will have good luck."
Director Qiao promoted his film, and he also voted for Li to promote Director Chen who was filming "Blue Moon".It was Director Chen who introduced him to Boss Jiang, and Boss Jiang was indeed a discerning investor.
Boss Jiang, a very discerning investor, is calling President Wen to thank him, "Thanks to Uncle Wen's help, the box office is good. For low-cost movies, the loan will be paid off immediately after the box office splits."
"It's not urgent. A Xun, you have a good eye, and the movie is also good. I saw the news on the Internet, and my daughter bought a ticket to watch it."
"How can I let my sister buy the ticket by herself? I will send it to my sister. When Uncle Wen is free, I will treat you to dinner."
"Others please don't have time, you ask me to be free."
Jiang Xun finalized the place and invited President Wen to dinner.
Gu Shoufeng stood at the door of the house, and only knocked on the door after listening to Jiang Xun talking in a grown-up manner to the balcony. Jiang Xun was so frightened that he almost dropped his phone. When he turned around, he saw Gu Shoufeng and complained, "Why don't you knock on the door? It's scary!" Jump."
"What's wrong with you? You're so scared." Gu Shoufeng glanced at Jiang Xun, "A loan?"
Jiang Xun straightened his chest, confidently said, "Who told you to always lie to me."
"Looking for a loan from Lao Wen?" It was really hard to guard against, he just forced it a little bit, why was he so smart, he knew that he had taken the loan behind his back.
"I didn't borrow too much, but I borrowed 3000 million."
"What's the mortgage?"
"I don't have anything to mortgage. Uncle Wen found a guarantee company for me."
"Damn Lao Wen." Gu Shoufeng scolded, saying Jiang Xun, "Do you know Lao Wen? You can go to him for a loan."
"I asked Ning Cheng about it, and Ning Cheng said that Dad, you have a good relationship with Uncle Wen."
"That's my friendship. What kind of friendship do you have with Lao Wen? You're so thick-skinned."
Jiang Xun took it for granted, "Dad's resources are not my resources. Use it as soon as you use it, don't be so petty. What does this have to do with face, I call it flexible use."
"This time I made a profit. It depends on what you will do if you lose."
"Papa will pay it back for me if I lose money."
Gu Shoufeng laughed at Jiang Xun's shamelessness.
The father and son set up refreshments on the terrace and drank warm tea facing the snow-falling courtyard. Gu Shoufeng asked Jiang Xun, "Do you want to pay off part of the debt first after the box office split?"
"What's the rush? Dad, you said back then that my blockbuster movie should be paid off within half a year after its release, but now if you want to pay off your debts, you just don't keep your promises. Be careful of me reneging on my debts."
Gu Shoufeng paused for a while with the hand holding the black tea, and said with emotion, "It's really easy to borrow money but difficult to pay."
"You just know."
The unexpected income made Jiang Xun cock his tail proudly, and he was even more arrogant in front of Gu Shoufeng. He even asked Gu Shoufeng to call him "Jiang Daqiang" at home. Xun has always felt very majestic and arrogant, full of mystery.
"Three three." Gu Shoufeng called Jiang Xun that way from then on.
"Why do you call me that?"
"You are currently in debt of three hundred million three, referred to as three three."
Jiang Xun laughed and protested, "Don't call it that, the cat teacher in Natsume's friend account is called Sansan."
The author has something to say: PS: While writing, I suddenly thought of Mr. Sansan, "Natsume's Account of Friends" is really good, when will the seventh season come out?
It is still a fat update, there is no second update.Recently, I am sorting out the documents. This article was originally a full-text archive, but you must not know the feeling of revising the full-text archive. It is almost the same as rewriting it.
Write two small theaters and relax~By the way, ask for nutrient solution~~~~
Small Theater 1:
Jiang Xun: I have signed the 3000 million selling contract, so I'm afraid there will be another [-] million.
Gu Shoufeng: This is the common saying that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.
Jiang Xun was dissatisfied: Who is a pig?
Gu Shoufeng: Son, what did you say, the wind is so strong that you can't hear clearly.
Small Theater 2:
The road to sublimation of Jiang [-] million——
Jiang three hundred million.
Jiang Sansan.
It is very difficult to win the National Award, but Jiang Xun has been preparing for this award for four years.Every year, it is a first-class professional scholarship.

He Duanxiang, a somewhat skinny director, even though he has no idea for a while, can tell whether the script is good or bad. Let him shoot according to the script. Not a big problem.Jiang Xun finally said, "I know your name. I've seen the short film I made when I was in college. It's very warm and the editing is not bad. It's more suitable for shooting romance themes."
The director was flattered, and the little flame called hope in his heart jumped even more vigorously, "Mr. Jiang, you still know me. I just started in the industry and I don't have much fame."
"How about this. You come back to the company with me, let's talk about the current situation of the project, let's talk about it in detail. If I can take over, I will follow up, but within a reasonable range."
"Is good."
The investment in a romance film is not high. Jiang Xun just asked for [-] million yuan from Gu Shoufeng. After Qingchen made an assessment, he sent someone to buy the copyright of the film and television script from the original company. Yes, part of the director's supplementary funds from selling the house was directly used as an investment in this film.
In addition, because Lin Yue was with Director Chen early in the morning, Jiang Xun took over this project. His first step was to reduce the crew's expenses. The crew was only responsible for the star's personal board and lodging. The hotel was downgraded from five-star to three-star. If you want to eat takeaway, you can order it yourself, and if you want to upgrade the hotel, you also pay for it yourself.
For this reason, Jiang Xun asked Gu Shoufeng's assistant Ning Cheng to help.
Jiang Xun formulates the rules, and Ning Cheng will discuss the details. If he disagrees, the contract will be terminated.
Xiaoxiaohua's manager immediately felt insulted, and immediately wanted to take Xiaohua away.The director found Xiao Xiaohua privately and explained the current situation of the crew. The God of Wealth has found him. Although the God of Wealth has a bad temper, the script is now completely in accordance with the original script, and the second female lead who has changed the drama has been dismissed by Mr. Jiang.This book is pretty good, please let Xiaohua think about it.
Xiao Xiaohua said, "Not to mention, my makeup artist and stylist also need me to pay for it myself, your crew is too good at saving money."
"No, no, Mr. Jiang arranged for a new stylist, the famous teacher Nilu. Teacher Nilu is already buying new costumes. My eldest lady, you should think carefully about it."
Xiaohua quickly weighed it up. Teacher Nilu is also a celebrity in the industry. Being able to invite Teacher Nilu here shows the strength of this boss.Xiao Xiaohua asked, "Which boss is it?"
"You may not know it now, but it is the investor of "Blue Moon". The hundreds of millions of investment in "Blue Moon" are all paid by Boss Jiang alone."
"Since you're so rich, why are you so picky?"
"My eldest lady, Mr. Jiang is fine. If Mr. Jiang hadn't sent the life-saving money, our piece would have been yellow."
Xiao Xiaohua's schedule has been vacated, and the shoot is half done, so it's a pity to leave now.But having said that, she has already shot half of it, and there are still a lot of shots that can be used before. Could it be that she is really told to go?The crew also don't want to bear such a loss, especially the investors are so picky!
Xiao Xiaohua didn't agree with the crew's new contract, so she put on airs.
Director Qiao didn't try to persuade him, so Jiang Xun said directly, "Ask me who else is leaving the crew? Hurry up and audition for new actors." The female lead was also dismissed.
As for the issue of compensation, it is better to go to court.
Xiao Xiaohua was immediately dumbfounded, she didn't expect to ask her to leave, she felt a little regretful, and ran to speak nicely to Director Qiao.Director Qiao discussed with Ning Cheng that Ning Cheng was borrowed by Gu Shoufeng to manage film and television investment for Jiang Xun, and he was still a little uncertain about Jiang Xun's character, so he called Jiang Xun to ask.Jiang Xun said, "Don't cooperate with hypocritical monsters."
So, Xiao Xiaohua had no choice but to pack her bags and leave.
Because of the change of investor, Jiang Xun thought that the crew's morale would inevitably be unstable, so he personally set up a place for Director Qiao to bring the rest of the actors and staff to have dinner together.Director Qiao is very attentive to this drama, and even invited several veteran actors to join him.Jiang Xun asked a most respected person to take the first place. That old drama player was actually only in his forties, but he was ordinary-looking and could only be a powerful person.The entertainment industry has always been dominated by youth and beauty. He is almost middle-aged, so he is naturally an old drama player. He smiled and said, "President Jiang, you are an investor. Thanks to you, we can continue to shoot this drama. We have always been investors. Sit first."
"I've watched your "Tan Xinyue", it's really great. Especially the ending, it's really well received. You are an award-winning senior in the industry. I just entered the industry, so you can sit down."
Everyone pushed back, and Jiang Xun took the first place. He is an old actor on the one hand and the director on the other. The director is surrounded by the male lead, the third female lead, and several other actors.
Director Qiao is also a capable person, and he quickly found a good and cheap actor to fill in the film. Jiang Xun gave Director Qiao the time to shoot within two months, and the later dubbing and editing have been reviewed.
As long as a romance film is sweet enough, warm enough, logically self-consistent, the overall production passes the test, and there is a good schedule, it will be difficult to think about it.In particular, Jiang Xun hated the moaning and pretentiousness in youth dramas the most. He liked youthful love, warm and sweet love, and he didn't have any inexplicable diseases such as youthful pains.
After seeing the film in theaters, they also set the film for the New Year.The Spring Festival stalls have always been a battleground for military strategists, and they are highly competitive, so it is better to stagger them.
By the time of the publicity period, there was not much publicity fee left.
A lot of money is spent, so it's not easy to save money on publicity.
The production fee this time was divided from the [-] million li borrowed from Gu Shoufeng last time. Xiaopu had just been paid a few days ago, and Jiang Xun wanted Xiaopu to continue to work for him, which was a lot of money for a year.
Even if the film loses everything, the company closes down, and Jiang Xun sells himself to Gu Shoufeng to pay off his debts, Xiaopu's money must be set aside first, and nothing can be moved.
Therefore, Jiang Xun still had 3000 million immobile in his account.
Jiang Xun also didn't want to go to Gu Shoufeng. Gu Shoufeng was too treacherous. Last time he let him sell himself. This time, he might sell him for the rest of his life.
After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Xun set his target on Gu Shoufeng's friend Xingchang Wen.Gu Shoufeng has always liked to show off his son, so most of Gu Shoufeng's friends also know Jiang Xun.
That is to say, Jiang Xun knew people who often interacted with Gu Shoufeng.
He often used Gu's lawyer to work part-time for himself. Ning Cheng, who was helping him now, was also Gu Shoufeng's assistant. President Wen was the president of a bank that Gu's often used. President Wen always got close to Jiang Xun when he saw Jiang Xun.First, he asked Ning Cheng about Wen Xunchang, and Jiang Xun called Wen Xunchang to ask about the loan.
Wen Xun asked, "Ah Xun, how could you use the loan? Your father won't give you pocket money anymore?" Everyone knew that Gu Shoufeng sold [-] million yuan, because another bank leaked Jiang Xun's account information, and Jiang Xun was annoyed. , directly asked the lawyer to send a lawyer's letter.Leaking customer information is a taboo in the banking industry. In the end, the account manager resigned and the president was also punished for serious demerits.
"I just borrowed money from my dad last month, so it's not easy to ask. Uncle Wen's place is inconvenient, so it doesn't matter if it's inconvenient?" Jiang Xun has always been straightforward.
"How much?"
"3000 million." In fact, the production cost of a low-budget film is only more than 2000 million. Of course, it will cost less than 3000 million for publicity, but Jiang Xun's purpose is not limited to loans.He smiled and said 3000 million, which is neither high nor low.
"Come over tomorrow, I'm in the line."
Jiang Xun didn't expect to be so happy, so he told President Wen in advance, "I have nothing to mortgage."
Wen Xingchang laughed, "I'll find a guarantee for you with such a small amount of money. Anyway, you can run away and monks can't run away from the temple."
"I would like to thank Uncle Wen first, but please don't tell Miao about this."
"Relax. I have industry spirit."
Wen Xun also asked Jiang Xun what industry he was in and needed a loan. Hearing that Jiang Xun was investing in movies, Wen Xun wondered if Jiang Xun had been fooled.
However, with Gu Shoufeng, it's not his turn to worry about this matter.
This highly efficient romance film with a small investment has an astonishing rate of return.
Director Qiao, in particular, appeared on a dozen talk shows in one go, not only working hard to promote the movie, but also full of gratitude to Jiang Xun.The key point is that Director Qiao also has news hotspots such as selling a house to support the crew to overcome difficulties. Director Qiao said, "The movie was suspended at the time, so I went to Mr. Jiang. Mr. Jiang saw the script that was being filmed at the time and told me directly, what the hell is this?" My son, no one will invest. I said Mr. Jiang and our original script are not like this, and when I get the original script out, Mr. Jiang will fall in love with it at a glance."
Then, Director Qiao talked about the hot topic of killing people by adding drama to drama.
This young director, who is also good at management, holds up half the sky of publicity by himself.
After seeing the box office of this film, Lin Yue sighed, "Romance movies are simply incredible."
"Think about Titanic, it's also a romance movie in essence." However, Jiang Xun admitted, "It also shocked me, I thought as long as it didn't cost money, it would be considered charity."
"You're really good too. Anyone who rushes to the door can earn money."
"If you are a good person, you will have good luck."
Director Qiao promoted his film, and he also voted for Li to promote Director Chen who was filming "Blue Moon".It was Director Chen who introduced him to Boss Jiang, and Boss Jiang was indeed a discerning investor.
Boss Jiang, a very discerning investor, is calling President Wen to thank him, "Thanks to Uncle Wen's help, the box office is good. For low-cost movies, the loan will be paid off immediately after the box office splits."
"It's not urgent. A Xun, you have a good eye, and the movie is also good. I saw the news on the Internet, and my daughter bought a ticket to watch it."
"How can I let my sister buy the ticket by herself? I will send it to my sister. When Uncle Wen is free, I will treat you to dinner."
"Others please don't have time, you ask me to be free."
Jiang Xun finalized the place and invited President Wen to dinner.
Gu Shoufeng stood at the door of the house, and only knocked on the door after listening to Jiang Xun talking in a grown-up manner to the balcony. Jiang Xun was so frightened that he almost dropped his phone. When he turned around, he saw Gu Shoufeng and complained, "Why don't you knock on the door? It's scary!" Jump."
"What's wrong with you? You're so scared." Gu Shoufeng glanced at Jiang Xun, "A loan?"
Jiang Xun straightened his chest, confidently said, "Who told you to always lie to me."
"Looking for a loan from Lao Wen?" It was really hard to guard against, he just forced it a little bit, why was he so smart, he knew that he had taken the loan behind his back.
"I didn't borrow too much, but I borrowed 3000 million."
"What's the mortgage?"
"I don't have anything to mortgage. Uncle Wen found a guarantee company for me."
"Damn Lao Wen." Gu Shoufeng scolded, saying Jiang Xun, "Do you know Lao Wen? You can go to him for a loan."
"I asked Ning Cheng about it, and Ning Cheng said that Dad, you have a good relationship with Uncle Wen."
"That's my friendship. What kind of friendship do you have with Lao Wen? You're so thick-skinned."
Jiang Xun took it for granted, "Dad's resources are not my resources. Use it as soon as you use it, don't be so petty. What does this have to do with face, I call it flexible use."
"This time I made a profit. It depends on what you will do if you lose."
"Papa will pay it back for me if I lose money."
Gu Shoufeng laughed at Jiang Xun's shamelessness.
The father and son set up refreshments on the terrace and drank warm tea facing the snow-falling courtyard. Gu Shoufeng asked Jiang Xun, "Do you want to pay off part of the debt first after the box office split?"
"What's the rush? Dad, you said back then that my blockbuster movie should be paid off within half a year after its release, but now if you want to pay off your debts, you just don't keep your promises. Be careful of me reneging on my debts."
Gu Shoufeng paused for a while with the hand holding the black tea, and said with emotion, "It's really easy to borrow money but difficult to pay."
"You just know."
The unexpected income made Jiang Xun cock his tail proudly, and he was even more arrogant in front of Gu Shoufeng. He even asked Gu Shoufeng to call him "Jiang Daqiang" at home. Xun has always felt very majestic and arrogant, full of mystery.
"Three three." Gu Shoufeng called Jiang Xun that way from then on.
"Why do you call me that?"
"You are currently in debt of three hundred million three, referred to as three three."
Jiang Xun laughed and protested, "Don't call it that, the cat teacher in Natsume's friend account is called Sansan."
The author has something to say: PS: While writing, I suddenly thought of Mr. Sansan, "Natsume's Account of Friends" is really good, when will the seventh season come out?
It is still a fat update, there is no second update.Recently, I am sorting out the documents. This article was originally a full-text archive, but you must not know the feeling of revising the full-text archive. It is almost the same as rewriting it.
Write two small theaters and relax~By the way, ask for nutrient solution~~~~
Small Theater 1:
Jiang Xun: I have signed the 3000 million selling contract, so I'm afraid there will be another [-] million.
Gu Shoufeng: This is the common saying that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.
Jiang Xun was dissatisfied: Who is a pig?
Gu Shoufeng: Son, what did you say, the wind is so strong that you can't hear clearly.
Small Theater 2:
The road to sublimation of Jiang [-] million——
Jiang three hundred million.
Jiang Sansan.
