Chronicle of Emperor Jing

We all know that when investors invest in films, they are doing business, not charity. This kind of non-return, or returns that do not meet expectations, has happened one after another, and it has lasted for several years. Wei Yan really didn't understand what was going on when Director Li did this.

"Because, at the beginning, everyone really didn't know that Director Li was a scam!" The director of the marketing department, surnamed Liu, joined the discussion, "Artistic films don't make money. Investors have psychological expectations before investing. Anyway, they The purpose is not to make money, they don’t care too much about the box office, but if director Li wants to play this way for commercial films, no matter how commercial the script is, he will have to re-create the script when he writes the script, and let it fly infinitely. The investors really didn’t know it at the beginning. He'll do it."

"Later, didn't all the investors know, how can Director Li continue to play this game?" Wei Yan was still puzzled.

After suffering a loss and being fooled once, these people should learn how to be good, and in the end they will continue to suffer losses. Are they all shaking girls?

"The big and small investors in this circle are sometimes partners, sometimes competitors, and some don't know each other at all. Afterwards, some investors who have been tricked have analyzed it. Director Li obviously took advantage of the lack of smooth news. Asymmetry, this time he cheated one, next time he cheated another, anyway, there are so many people who can cheat, he didn't need to catch a sheep and put wool hard, but kept changing targets, so what was the problem in the first place Everyone doesn’t know that, after all, everyone misses, and it’s nothing to fail once or twice.” Lin Dayong took up the topic, “Besides, even the players in the circle later knew that Director Li was a trap, so let him lead the team Passing through the dungeon will definitely destroy the group, but this game has a steady stream of new players joining, new players see his achievements are high on the achievement list, if they are fooled by him casually, they will fall into the pit."

Lin Dayong swallowed his inner thoughts and did not say anything.

There are many people in this circle who don't understand anything and take advantage of it. When they see other people making money, they want to invest. These people are usually fooled by people who say it casually.For example, his current new employer was obviously taken advantage of by him. It was too easy for these people to be tricked by Director Li.

"Is there no investor who has ever played a game with Director Li?" Whether it is in the film and television industry or any other industry, capital is powerful, and Wei Yan does not believe that these people will be so bad-tempered and do not take any remedial measures. lose money.

Oh, it seems that a loss is not considered a loss, but the profit is very low. However, for capital operations, no profit is a loss. Obviously you can make excess profits, but you can only get a little profit, which is even more loss.

"The problem is that high-level players sometimes need to use Director Li. Even if they are tricked by him, they can't tear themselves apart from him except to ensure that they won't be tricked by him next time. They can only try to walk around him. If Shen is blocked by him, he will still give hundreds of thousands of friendship donations, which is regarded as a relationship maintenance fee. Since he only invested such a small amount of money later, he will not bother with him at all. As for low-level players, they don’t understand anything. , Director Li must have said what he said." Director Liu shrugged and said.

"I understand. The current situation is that there is no problem with the script, and there is no problem with Director Li on the technical level. The only problem is that Director Li cannot be allowed to fly during the filming process, otherwise the investment will be in vain. In this case, everyone Let's discuss, is there a good way to prevent Director Li from doing this?" Wei Yan finally understood the cause and effect, and began to ask everyone present for their opinions.

Those present here, screenwriter Lin, director Liu, and Wei Yan's two assistants are considered real insiders. Others, some are pure laymen, such as Wei Yan and Tao Yibai. This circle was a little bit mixed, and it was obviously the first time they heard these secrets, and they all listened with gusto.

Now, Director Wei who was sitting on top spoke, and they began to think deeply.

"Perhaps, we can sign a strict investment contract with Director Li, prohibiting Director Li from changing the script." The lawyer in charge of legal work is of course thinking about solving problems through legal means.

"Has anyone tried this method before?" Wei Yan wanted to hear the experience of his predecessors before deciding whether to consider this suggestion.

"I've tried it. Director Li won't accept this kind of contract, but chooses to continue looking for wronged...investors." Director Liu replied.

Hearing this answer, everyone was silent for a while.

Director Li is not stupid, and he can always find people who are stupider than him. This is the real reason why he has been in the circle for many years, cheated countless people, but has never met an opponent.

"It's getting late, let's stop discussing here today, and we'll all have a welcome meal together later." Wei Yan looked at his phone and found that it was past 5 o'clock, announcing that the meeting was over and going to eat.

Wei Yan was too lazy to socialize, so he arranged the farewell dinner and welcome dinner on the same day. He asked Tao Yibo to book two adjacent private rooms in the same hotel, and planned to take turns to attend at that time, and it would be done in one go.

He saves time so much, it is enough to fight for the house.

Jing Li knew that Wei Yan was going to dinner tonight, Wei Yan had invited him, but he didn't want to steal Wei Yan's limelight, so he set himself a low-key investor profile, in order not to collapse the profile, he refused Wei Yan's invitation.

As a result, he was not rewarded for his kindness, so he had to eat alone alone.

Except when nagging him, Wei Yan is not a talkative person, but once Wei Yan is away, Jing Li feels that the whole room feels empty.

He ate and took a shower alone, watched his news broadcast, climbed into bed alone, and hugged Wei Yan's pillow to meditate there.

You can't have both.

Wei Yan changed jobs, so he had to socialize. Originally, his social circle did not overlap with Wei Yan's, but Wei Yan likes to stay at home. He only needs to adjust his socializing time, so that it can coincide with Wei Yan's work and rest time. .

Now, Wei Yan's social circle and his still don't overlap, even if Wei Yan still likes to stay at home, sometimes he has to socialize.If the schedules of the two of them want to overlap, they have to adjust together.

So, he is causing trouble for himself, making it more difficult for himself?

After Jing Li wanted to understand this truth, he was really upset, but there was nothing he could do, everyone was an adult, so could he hold Wei Yan by the corner of his clothes and not let him go out?

Even if he had such a thick skin to do such a thing, Wei Yan would not pay attention to his unreasonable troubles.

What's more, he doesn't have such a thick skin.

Jing Li, who felt that he was not thick-skinned, hugged the pillow and complained for a while, then picked up the phone to harass Wei Yan.

Therefore, this night, Wei Yan was really busy. Apart from rushing to two events, he also had to deal with the bombardment of Mr. Jing's news.

Nine Layers of Abyss: Are you tired of rushing to the scene? If you are tired, let Tao Yibo help you take care of it.

Jiuzhongzhiyuan: Don't drink, ask an assistant to drink for you, and you will feel uncomfortable if you drink too much.

Jiuzhongzhiyuan: I have almost eaten, when will I be able to come back?

Jiuzhongzhiyuan: What about people, are you so busy, and you don't reply to any news?

Nine Layers of Abyss: Wei Yan, are you there?Are you there?Just squeak!

……

When Wei Yan saw it, he had already accumulated several messages.

He pulled it down and looked at it, a smile on his face.

His WeChat name was changed by Mr. Jing to "Pearl of Thousand Gold". He had already discovered this, but he didn't change it back.

It's a really good feeling to have someone who wants to take him to heart.

When you encounter something, you should cherish it, not do it.

Qianjinzhizhu: Here I am, I just drank a little, it’s all right, I’m going to leave soon, I’ll be right back.

He answered all Mr. Jing's questions with one sentence.While typing, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Seeing him looking at the phone with a bewildered smile, everyone looked at each other and booed.

"Director, it's my sister-in-law over there, hurry up and let her come over for dinner."

"Yes, yes, sister-in-law should come with me from the beginning."

"It's not too late now, the director calls my sister-in-law to come over."

sister in law?

Wei Yan laughed even more when he heard this.

He thought of the day when Mr. Jing knew that he was called sister-in-law, Mr. Jing's expression must be very funny at that time.

As for why others speculate that he has a "wife", because he wears a wedding ring.

"I called him. He has something to do and can't come." Wei Yan replied with a smile.

"No, no, no, Director, you are showing your affection. You must be fined three glasses. Assistant Xiao Fang, you can't replace these three glasses. Everyone understands this, don't they?" booed up.

"Yes, yes, you must be punished, just for leaving your sister-in-law at home alone, you must also be punished!"

"Punish, punish, punish!"

"Okay, okay, I accept the punishment." Wei Yan raised his glass and accepted the punishment. After drinking, he turned the three wine glasses upside down one by one, put them on the table, glanced around, and said with a smile, "Next, whoever throws his wife at home, Should he be punished for leaving his girlfriend at home?"

He understands the routines on the wine table, but sometimes he is too lazy to use them, but since everyone is so excited, he is not polite.

The people who were drunk a little bit over their heads, what is the reason for the punishment? When he said this, everyone nodded and shouted that they should be punished. After so many rounds of punishment, everyone except Tao Yibai I'm drunk.

Tao Yibo waited until they were almost done drinking, settled the bills on both sides, arranged for someone to take them back, and then sent Wei Yan back with his assistant.

On the way back, while driving, he lowered his voice and began to impart experience to Wei Yan's two new assistants.

"Don't be so blind when you do things in the future. It's really not easy to drink instead at this time, but will it be possible to change the wine or mix it with water? What are you doing so sincerely?"

"Brother Tao, I was wrong. I will definitely handle this kind of thing well next time." Xiao Fang, one of Wei Yan's assistants, immediately admitted his mistake after hearing what he said.

When Xiao Fang said this, another assistant in the passenger seat also reacted and assured him that he would not do it again next time.

Tao Yibo glanced at Xiaofang from the rearview mirror. This kid is young, quick-spoken, quick-responsive, and has a good capacity for alcohol. He is a seedling of a caring assistant. If you train him well, he will come in handy in the future .

As for the other one, he was a little more honest, but this Director Wei, he glanced at the person in the back seat with his eyes closed, he didn't know if he was asleep or resting his mind, and his boss refused to intervene. As for the selection, he will not talk too much, he can only try his best to teach these two, so that they can adapt to this position as soon as possible.
