I just want to copy books quietly

"And if this movie ends like this, even if the final box office is only tens of millions, and it is a big loss, I will only lose 1 million. Then I will re-establish your movie, and the 2 million investment will be mine. 12 billion The box office can make me a net profit of 2 million yuan, even if the 1 million yuan loss is removed, I can still make a net profit of [-] million yuan."

"Now you understand why I don't support your idea!"

Du Caige lowered his head, shook his head after a while and said, "You are just doing financial calculations."

"What about you, what account do you want to consider?"

"Word of mouth, favor..." Du Caige stood up, "I don't want to force you. Before you bought the shares of Chasing Dream Huyu from me, you borrowed all the money from me and invested it in Hongyuan. That money Can I get it back now?"

"No." Yan Yingzhen said with a straight face.

"That's how it is, go to bed early." Du Caige didn't get angry, but just left quietly.

Chapter 557 Finally Has an Eye

Du Caige didn't want to speculate on Yan Yingzhen's state of mind.

Since she said so, let him believe it for the time being, and believe that she is really in trouble and can't come up with money.

You can't doubt the child's mother.That's not authentic.

Even if you have doubts in your heart, you can't doubt it.

What depressed him the most was that Yan Yingzhen felt that she was thinking for him and making the best choice and arrangement for him.

But he doesn't need to.

This is probably the biggest factor preventing him and Yan Yingzhen from getting together.

Her strength made him at a loss.

With no support or money from Yan Yingzhen, Du Caige went to the northern border the next day.

Seek out some of the cultural people he knows and ask if anyone is willing to contribute.

Two days passed with nothing.

At this time, Shu Yihuan's crew was ready to restart.

Du Caige asked Ouyang Jin to inform everyone that he would rest for a few days and not start work for the time being.

Ouyang Jin said that it was very difficult to do, but Du Caige only told him: It must be done even if it is difficult.

Du Caige himself stayed in the northern border and continued to look for new investors.

This was something he was not good at, but he had to bite the bullet and do it, because he didn't have enough money, Yan Yingzhen didn't cooperate with him, and Zhumeng Huyu couldn't afford much cash.

After another day of nothing, at night, Du Caige wanted to have a drink.

He wandered over to the "if" bar.

Behind the bar, the uncle disappeared and was replaced by a young bartender.

Du Caige went over to order a glass of Dalmore-Porter, looked around, and asked, "Where's the original boss?"

"It is said that after watching 'Old Boy', I suddenly wanted to pursue my dream, so I transferred the shop to our current boss." Said the young man who can still be regarded as a boy.

"Oh." Du Caige was a little disappointed, but he was even more happy with that uncle.

"Who is the new boss?" He asked curiously.

"It's me." A neutral voice sounded behind him.

"Brother Li!" Du Caige turned around, looking at Li Minjun in surprise and joy, "Long time no see! I haven't been able to say thank you to you."

"What can I thank you for?" Li Minjun smiled and said to the bartender, "All the consumption of this guest today will be paid by me."

He was wearing a looser dark polo shirt and loose cropped pants on his lower body, and his overall attire was relatively neutral.

It seems... His skin has become more delicate. He said before that he was going to have an operation, so it must have been cut, right?This thought flashed across Du Caige's mind.

"Have you made a fortune? It probably costs a lot of money to buy this store." Du Caige asked tentatively.

"I borrowed some money. Besides, I'm only the store manager in name, and the real shareholder is someone else." Li Minjun smiled mysteriously.

He picked up a wine glass, asked the bartender to pour him half a glass, picked up the glass and said, "Come on, let's sit and talk next to you."

After sitting down, Li Minjun naturally asked why Du Caige came to the north this time.

Du Caige was filled with unhappiness, and at this moment, under the influence of alcohol, he said everything like beans poured out of a bamboo tube.

After finishing speaking, he regained his sanity, but felt that something was wrong. How could he tell such things to a near-stranger?He hurriedly said, "Don't tell anyone else this."

"Don't worry, Brother Hemingway, my mouth is tightly sewn." Li Minjun smiled.

After a pause, he said, "So, Brother Hemingway, I think the beautiful CEO you mentioned earlier is right. From a business point of view, it is right to stop the loss in time. Director Shu, I will definitely be unhappy, but it is impossible to be a human being, and you will always offend some people. For business and to reduce losses, what are you afraid of offending people?"

Du Caige sighed: "I'm not afraid of offending him. It's just... this is our company's first major production, and I don't want to make a bad start. Moreover, I don't want to trick those collaborators, and I want to try my best to recover their losses."

"Also, if you continue to use the name of this movie, the remuneration of those actors needs to be increased a little, but there is no need to re-sign the contract. If a new project is established, then the contract must be re-negotiated with them and an increase in remuneration expenditure."

"In the end, it's because I'm very confident, and I believe that what I shoot can recover the loss."

In fact, if there is anything I haven't said, I just want to pretend to be a beep.

Who wouldn't like to pretend to be beeping in the field he is good at.

"So," Li Minjun said with a smile, "if you want to find funds, first buy the investment quota of Jiutian Media and Dahua Zitian, so that they can retreat without any damage; and then invest about 1 million in you , Let you make a new movie, but still use the current crew, just change the name of the movie and change the story by the way. What is this called? Resurrection of the dead? Li Daitao dead? Backdoor listing? Anyway, that’s what it means.”

Du Caige nodded. "That's right."

"I'll ask others, it will cost a lot of money, I dare not give you any guarantee now." Li Junmin said.

Du Caige didn't count on it, which is different from lending money to Chasing Dream Huyu.

How much confidence do you need to have in him, Du Caige, to lend him money to do such a foolish thing in the eyes of ordinary people?

After chatting for a while, Du Caige looked at Li Minjun's increasingly charming and feminine face, and tentatively asked: "What is the relationship between you and that President Cui? How can you contact her to lend us money to help us out?" Dream entertainment."

"She! She is my acquaintance." Li Minjun laughed.

After a pause, his expression became serious, "Brother Hemingway, in fact, I lied to you about one thing before."

"It's okay." Du Caige said calmly.

In fact, he has long felt that at least half of what Li Minjun said to him before was untrue.

It's just that Du Caige is too lazy to pursue it.

When you meet by chance, why should others treat you with heart and soul?

People make do with what they say, half-truths and half-falsehoods.You will just listen to it, half-believe it.

So at this time Li Minjun said that Du Caige was not surprised at all when he lied to him.

"Brother Hemingway... It's a little hard to say. I told you before that when I was very young, my mother and my father divorced."

"Actually not?"

"No, actually they are not married at all. My father is a very rich man, and my mother is his mistress." Li Minjun looked embarrassed.

Du Caige was still skeptical, but he didn't show it, just nodded: "Heroes don't ask about their background, you don't need to worry about these."

Li Minjun shook his head: "I don't care anymore. It's just that you asked, what is the relationship between President Cui and me."

"what relationship?"

"She is my half-sister, and her mother is also my father's mistress." Li Minjun laughed.

Du Caige almost knocked over the wine glass in his hand.

He stared at Li Minjun carefully, and suddenly realized: "It looks quite similar... No wonder when I saw President Cui, I always felt like I had seen her somewhere. So you are siblings!"

"Yes!" Li Minjun said with a smile, "Of course, I believe you can understand that my relationship with her is not very good. Even if we share the same disease, it is difficult for us to get close. We used to be incompatible, but then we all grew up. I gradually reconciled when I became sensible. But I still can’t get close. But I can still do it by passing a word to her.”

"I don't want to embarrass you, Brother Li. If you don't want to contact her, forget it."

"It doesn't matter to me. After all, she is my half-sister. I don't have any deep hatred with her, but we just don't like each other. In fact, we understand and sympathize with each other in our hearts." Li Minjun curled his lips and smiled.

"By the way, Brother Hemingway, let's add a WeChat account so we can get in touch easily."

"Okay." Du Caige had no reason to refuse.

He immediately took out his mobile phone, scanned Li Minjun's QR code, and added him as a friend.

Li Minjun happily sent Du Caige a smiley face on WeChat.Then put away the phone and rubbed his hands together, looking a little shy, hesitating to speak.

Du Caige smiled and said, "What do you want to say? Tell me."

"That's right," Li Minjun didn't know whether it was because he was drinking or because he was excited, his delicate face was a little flushed, "I also want to play a role in your movie, can I? The one with lines. I used to only be I’ve done group performances, and I don’t even have lines. I’ve always wanted to act! But I don’t know martial arts, so I can’t act in martial arts scenes. Can you arrange a role for me?”

Chapter 558 Goodbye Cui Minzhen

"Small things, no problem at all. In fact, shooting martial arts scenes is also a trivial matter. You don't need to know martial arts. As long as the action director designs a few cool moves for you, and then through the setup of the camera position and editing, you can easily put You became a martial arts hero." Du Caige wasn't boasting.

To the uninitiated, this may seem like magic.

But for a film director, this is nothing more than basic light and shadow magic.

If you don’t even know how to do basic exercises like this, go home and nurse your child as soon as possible. Filmmaking is not for you.

"What role do you want to play? If it's an unimportant role, you can even think of one yourself, make your own character design, and I'll find a way to add it to the script."

Li Minjun asked excitedly: "Really? I can also act as a female...hero?"

Du Caige smiled and nodded: "Of course."

Li Minjun thought for a while and said, "I think...forget it, let's talk about it next time. I'll think about it carefully first, and I can't waste this hard-won opportunity."

Du Caige laughed: "It's hard to come by. As a friend, you are welcome to play a small role or two at any time."

Li Minjun's tone suddenly became faint, "Really, do you really think I'm your friend?"

This tone is too girly, it makes Du Caige's hair stand on end.

"En." He looked away and lowered his head to drink.

He doesn't dislike lgbt, but he definitely doesn't want to be the target of the other party.

"Well," Li Minjun seemed to have made up his mind, "As a friend, I must persuade my sister to help you."

"You really don't have to force it. She must have a lot of involuntary things in that position, and I can understand." Du Caige persuaded instead.

"No, if it's for friends, it must be done!" Li Minjun said seriously.

……

The next day, someone called persistently early in the morning, interrupting Du Caige's sound sleep.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes and glanced at his phone.

This glance made him jump up immediately, and swipe to answer.

"Hello, President Cui." Du Caige greeted with a smile.

Cui Minzhen's voice was a little indifferent and distant, but with a hint of resentment: "Director Du, you obviously have my number, but why did you still find me through that kid Li Minjun? Can't you just call me?"

Du Caige smiled awkwardly but politely: "I'm worried that if I speak to you directly, it won't be good if I get rejected. Just like a man chasing a girl, sometimes he has to make a detour, make indirect remarks, and be more reserved, right?"

"So Director Du, are you going to chase me? But don't you have a girlfriend?" Cui Minzhen's tone sounded serious, which made Du Caige stunned.

I thought that this woman's ability to tell cold jokes with a straight face was comparable to my own.

But Cui Minzhen quickly added: "I'm sorry, did I misunderstand what you mean? Actually, you want to chase me? I'm sorry that I grew up in Bangzi Country, and I may be a little estranged from the culture of Dahua Country. .”

Du Caige thought, even if you don't know much about the culture of Dahua, you don't understand my words so biasedly, right?

Or, there is indeed a big ambiguity in my words, but I didn't realize it?

Du Caige fell into self-doubt.

"Okay, let's get down to business. Director Du, I'm very interested in your movie. But I'm still a little hesitant about investing. So, if it's convenient this morning, let's meet and talk. I want to hear it in person. Your opinion."

"No problem." Du Caige thought for a while, and asked her to meet at a "Blue Bottle" coffee shop, which was not far from GS Co., Ltd.

"can."

When I saw Cui Minzhen again, she was wearing very casual clothes: a white cultural shirt printed with a language that Du Caige didn't know, which was very loose.

The lower body is a pair of short hot pants, and the two smooth and straight long legs are in direct contact with the air. Under the feet are a pair of very breathable white tennis shoes with pink stripes.

Wearing a white baseball cap and carrying a black lambskin backpack.

There is no luxury in the whole body, and even the pair of earrings can be seen to be glass imitations, not real gems.
