I have nothing to do

84.

Cheng Xinyuan didn't like dealing with Mingze very much, he felt that he was not in the same league as him.

Although he wants to transform into a commercial film, he still positions himself as an artist in his heart, while Ming Ze is a businessman through and through, a businessman who only seeks profit, and Weng Chi is also a businessman, but he is still different from Ming Ze. Weng Chi has a human touch But Mingze only had the smell of rotting blood on his body.

But Mingze asked him to come, he had to come, he is short of money now, very short.

Originally Mingze said to let Weng Chi come to talk, but Weng Chi refused to come if he died.

Weng Chi said that although he occasionally met with Mingze, it was all business entertainment, which was different in nature.

He didn't want to have too many personal relationships with Mingze. If Cheng Xinyuan was a director he didn't know, or someone he didn't know well, he might go there. If it's a business negotiation, he would have no problem at all.

But Cheng Xinyuan was Weng Chi's friend, a good friend, and Mingze knew about it.

"Stay away from him, you know, I'm doing it for your own good." Weng Chi said.

But Cheng Xinyuan felt that Weng Chi was so naive, who in this circle could stay away from Mingze?Mingze Company is involved in every link from production to distribution of movies, and it is not easy to stay far away.

Cheng Xinyuan sighed and stepped into the elevator, since it's here, let's take it easy and play by ear.

Cheng Xinyuan came here on time, it was not too early or too late, but Mingze's secretary told him that it was a bit of a coincidence that Mr. Ming suddenly had something to do, so he asked Director Cheng to wait for a while, Cheng Xinyuan didn't care, he just said it was okay, he can wait.

About ten minutes later, Cheng Xinyuan saw a black dress passing by through the open door, and the sound of high heels clicking was accompanied by a strong smell of perfume.

The secretary invited Cheng Xinyuan in, and Cheng Xinyuan got up, and the moment he opened the door, the fragrant wind blew over. He felt that he was not in the Empire Company in the entertainment industry, but in Pansidong in Journey to the West.

Seeing Cheng Xinyuan coming in, Mingze greeted him with a smile and shook hands. He said, "Xinyuan, I haven't seen you for a while."

Obviously, I only saw it last month, so it can't be said that I have a "day", I'm afraid it's because I took medicine again and got confused.

But these words can only be said in the heart and cannot be said, so Cheng Xinyuan also smiled and explained that it has been a long time.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two gradually got to the point. Mingze frowned and smiled, and asked Cheng Xinyuan how the film preparations were going. Cheng Xinyuan was honestly still in the initial stage and hadn't found a suitable investor yet.

"I believe that with Cheng Dao's reputation and talent, it's not difficult to find an investor." Mingze took a sip of the coffee in front of him, then frowned slightly, he called his secretary in and ordered him and Cheng Xinyuan to make a new cup.

Cheng Xinyuan looked at the secretary's frightened face, rubbed his hands together, and said, "Nothing, it's still quite difficult. After all, I've always been a literary film director, and the industry still has reservations about my ability to make commercial films."

Mingze nodded: "Well, I actually understand that the current domestic film industry is not so tolerant of our young directors. Many young directors have the ability and ideas but have no way to realize them."

"Mr. Ming is right. In fact, before I came here, I heard that Yuexing had a support plan for young directors..."

Before Cheng Xinyuan came, Director Wang called him and mentioned Yuexing's support plan for young directors. He suggested that Cheng Xinyuan can sign up for this project, and he should be able to get funding.

"Yes, our company has a support plan for outstanding young directors. Every year, we will fund young and promising directors in our country to realize their dreams. Because I know that the domestic film and television industry has always lacked excellent young directors, so the company launched This program provides opportunities for young film and television talents to show their talents."

While talking, Mingze asked the secretary to bring in a copy of the promotional documents of the Young Directors Program when he came.

The secretary quickly brought in the re-brewed coffee, and handed the promotional documents to Cheng Xinyuan, Cheng Xinyuan said thank you, and then looked through them.

"We have also funded a lot of young directors before, giving early-stage capital investment and post-release assistance, and many of them have both word-of-mouth and box office success, such as the previous "Road to Madness", I remember Ming Chi's The company also has investment. With the relationship between Cheng Dao and Ming Chi, I believe that this movie has also benefited from it, but I have to tell the truth that among the directors funded by the Young Director Support Program, the final box office can reach that of "Frenzy Road" "The level is really rare, and most of them still end in dismal box office."

Mingze took another sip of coffee, this time his expression relaxed a lot, he said with a smile:

"But I don't regret it, because as a filmmaker, promoting the sustainable development of the Chinese film industry and cultivating reserve forces is what I should do."

"Then," Cheng Xinyuan leaned forward, his attitude was very sincere, and he said, "Mr. Ming, can I apply for help with this plan?"

Mingze didn't speak, he drank his coffee quietly, taking one sip after another, as if the coffee was some kind of delicacy in the world.

Cheng Xinyuan gradually became restless, he didn't know what Mingze meant.

Fortunately, the silence didn't last too long, Mingze finally put down his cup, looked at Cheng Xinyuan and said leisurely:

"Xinyuan, I admire your determination to transform, and I appreciate your courage to break the boat. But Xinyuan, I have to remind you that although you are a well-known young director in China, your qualifications are not suitable for our young directors. plan."

Cheng Xinyuan's heart immediately "thumped".

"The condition of our youth program is to have a copyrighted feature film script that has not yet been filmed, and new directors must have no theatrical feature film work." Mingze spoke very slowly, and he said word by word, "Although You are a good friend of Ming Chi, and I appreciate you very much, but the company has company rules and regulations, if you make an exception, it will affect the credibility of our plan."

It seemed that it really was not possible, Cheng Xinyuan was immediately disheartened, it seemed that Mingze's way would not work.

"However, don't worry. Although the Youth Program cannot give you support, we still have other ways of cooperation."

"Other ways of cooperation?"

At this time Mingze stood up, walked to the sofa where Cheng Xinyuan was sitting, and sat down next to Cheng Xinyuan on the single sofa.

"For example, we can make a valuation adjustment agreement."

"What do you mean?" Cheng Xinyuan knew nothing about these terms.

"It's very simple." Mingze curled his lips in a relaxed tone, "You can go to Huanshan to register and set up a company, and then I will buy your company or part of it for 4 million yuan, so that you will not have money Yet?"

"4 million? Is it that simple?!" In Mingze's mouth, 4 million is the same as 400 yuan.

"Of course, the condition is very simple. The cumulative after-tax net profit realized in four years is 4.2 million yuan."

"If it is not completed, it doesn't matter much. It only needs 15% annual rate of return to repurchase my shares or make up cash."

Hearing these numbers, Cheng Xinyuan's mind was in chaos. He had never really cared about them. It was Weng Chi who helped him take care of them before. He asked suspiciously, "Will anyone really agree?"

"Of course someone agreed." Mingze couldn't help laughing when he saw Cheng Xinyuan's surprised expression, "This kind of entertainment operation is very common in the entertainment industry and in the capital world. You are not the only one who does this. Many directors and actors Studios do it all, it's just a win-win approach."

"Win-win?"

"Of course it's a win-win. You got the money to realize your dream, and I also made money. Isn't that great? And it doesn't matter if you don't complete the bet, you can pay it back slowly, and once your movie If it succeeds, the profit may be completely more than that.”

Cheng Xinyuan suddenly felt a little parched, he picked up the coffee and took a sip, but Mingze was very calm, he stood up and patted Cheng Xinyuan's shoulder, saying:

"How about this, Xinyuan, you go back and think about it carefully. Anyway, if you are not in a hurry about this matter, I am not in a hurry."

When Cheng Xinyuan was leaving, Mingze said behind him:

"I'm waiting for your answer."

--------------------

The valuation adjustment agreement is a VAM agreement. I wrote it relatively simply, and the value is also made up, but this is indeed a very common... emmmmm, method.

In the middle of the night, there should be another chapter of about 1000 words (if it is finished) to get emotional.
