Especially in the field of pop music, it can be said that they are the creators in the first echelon.

His status in the music circle is by no means inferior to Shu Yihuan's status in the movie circle.

Does Shu Yihuan really not care what she thinks?

Du Caige did not confront him, but said in a very sincere tone: "I understand your approach, Shu Dao. In the future, if I have the opportunity, I also hope to cooperate with you again to explore some frontier areas of film and explore more interesting techniques. But this time, this is the first time Dream Huyu has made a major production, and I cannot allow failure."

Shu Yihuan's eyelids trembled: "Who are you going to call to rescue? Or do you do it yourself?"

"Myself." Du Caige said in a deep voice.

"Are you so sure that the movie you made will be profitable? You know, if you re-shoot, the total cost is not a small sum. At present, the cost of 18 billion has been incurred, and your re-shoot must be at least tens of millions more, and then add With post-production and publicity, the total cost of this movie may reach 35-4 million. That is to say, your movie box office needs to reach 12 billion to pay back. Are you sure you can do it?"

There was a sneer on the corner of Shu Yihuan's mouth, but in his eyes, there was no contempt or disdain, but more curiosity.

Du Caige shook his head: "Of course I'm not sure, I'm not a god. Is there any director in this world who dares to say that he will make a movie with a box office of more than 12 billion? No director can boast such a big mouth."

"So, why don't you choose not to invest more in my movie, let me finish it in a hurry, or even finish it badly, and then start anew by yourself?"

"As I said, this is the first big production of Dream Huyu, and I don't want it to be anticlimactic."

"That's not a reason at all." Shu Yihuan started pouring tea again.

The breeze with the smell of yellow sand blows, and from time to time a leaf swirls and falls.

Early August is the hottest time in this land.

But it might be because of the large tree canopy above, Shu Yihuan's yard is still cool.

At least Du Caige didn't feel sweaty all over.

Shu Yihuan's wife was not at home, so the huge house was quiet at this moment, only the rustling of leaves blown by the wind and the sound of boiling water.

"Director Shu," Du Caige finally said, "Because I am also a director, I understand your feelings, whether you believe it or not."

Shu Yihuan nodded slightly. "kindness."

"You and I didn't have any deep hatred before. Although this movie, so far, we have had some unpleasant quarrels. But the road is far away, and I don't want these grievances to continue. Mountains don't change, and in the future, there may be more Opportunities to work together. That’s what’s on my mind.”

"kindness."

"So, you quit. If you want, when the film is promoted later, it will be said that this is a work co-directed by the two of us. If you don't trust my ability, that's okay, we will announce it to the public, Shu Dao because Due to physical reasons, I withdrew from the drama, and I will take over. You can take a break by the way."

"The remuneration that I promised to give you is not a lot. The box office dividend, according to the contract, this is gone. The above are the conditions I proposed."

Shu Yihuan pondered for a while, then raised her head and said, "Your personal studio has already redeemed the investment shares of Jiutian and Zitian, right. So, now you can fully represent the investors, I can only choose to withdraw decently, or Rip face, withdraw indecently?"

"Yes."

"You really can't speak, Director Du. Your EQ is too low, and what you say makes people uncomfortable."

"Feel sorry."

"Forget it, those of us who are engaged in art, how many have high emotional intelligence." Shu Yihuan shook her head, and poured another cup of tea for Du Caige.

Then he changed the subject and stopped talking about it.

Du Caige wanted to turn the topic back several times, but suddenly understood what Shu Yihuan meant, so he also chatted and laughed casually with Shu Yihuan, talking about politics, culture, customs, geography, frontier science, economy, etc. as he pleased.

We talked about our understanding of movies, what movies we want to make next, and so on.

Because I drank too much tea, I went to the toilet several times in the middle.

At around 7 o'clock, Shu Yihuan said: "I won't keep you for dinner, my wife is not at home, and I order takeaway myself."

"That's okay, I can eat whatever I want," Du Caige got up, "Then don't bother me."

Shu Yihuan sent him to the gate of the courtyard, and suddenly said, "That's right."

Du Caige looked back at him.

"Beware of Shen Jinsong."

Du Caige was startled, "This is?"

Shu Yihuan shook her head: "I have never had any personal grievances with you. I never thought of having any grievances with you. I hope you can understand."

Du Caige seems to understand but not understand.But it can be roughly guessed that Shu Yihuan chose to let go of herself in this film project and bury investors, maybe it was Shen Jinsong's promotion.

"I know, I can understand."

"Next, I will rest for a while, and then Tianyi Entertainment will invest in me to make a new martial arts movie. It is a big investment, and the entire Dahuaguo Film and Television can rank among the top three big investments."

Du Caige was finally able to connect the clues.

Du Caige laughed and said, "Then Director Shu has to tell me in advance about your movie schedule, and I don't want to run into the movie Chasing Dream and Mutual Entertainment with you."

"The film market is so big that it can accommodate a few excellent films. There are only so many good schedules. As long as you have the heart to fight for it, you will eventually meet it."

"That's okay, if it happens, let's try it out." Naturally, Du Caige is not really afraid of hitting the schedule.

Who is afraid of who.

"After you take over, what are you going to shoot?" Shu Yihuan asked suddenly.

"Barely considered martial arts. Modern martial arts. But I think it is more appropriate to call it an 'action movie'. Because, in the movies I make, there are martial arts and no swordsman."

"You have martial arts, you have no heroes..." Shu Yihuan was still chanting these words until Du Caige walked away.

Chapter 563: Chasing Dream Interactive Entertainment Going Public

Shu Yihuan quickly posted a post on Weibo: "Because of physical reasons, I had to leave the 'Wudang' crew and go abroad to recuperate for a while. Director Hemingway will take over the next filming. In the process of working with him, I I learned that Director Hemingway is a young director with a solid foundation and great ideas. I hope he can bring you a visual feast and a good-looking story.”

What Shu Yihuan said was quite polite, which saved Du Caige a lot of trouble.

And he also called some important staff members of the crew to communicate, and told them to obey the arrangement and cooperate with Hemingway to continue filming.

It's hard to say whether he was moved by Du Caige's words, or whether he was willing to cooperate because he heard that "the salary will not be less than a penny".

Du Caige didn't want to peep into people's hearts either.

People can't stand peeping, there are too many ugliness.

It's good for each other to be farther away and see a little more blurredly.

Many things are rarely confused, so there is no need to delve into them.

And here, the official Weibo of "Wudang" also quickly followed up and issued an announcement: "Thanks to Director Shu Yihuan for his contribution, and I look forward to Director Hemingway injecting new vitality into the crew. Next, there will be some adjustments in the plot and actors. , but the original intention of the crew will not change: to bring you a wonderful martial arts movie."

And Du Caige is still busy with communication and negotiation.

After redeeming the investment shares of Jiutian Media and Dahua Zitian, the money he got was about 3500 million.

Then Xu Liang, the deputy film and television director of Zhumeng Huyu, came to the door and asked hypocritically if he needed more investment from Zhumeng Huyu.

Then he hesitated to explain the purpose of coming, saying that the chairman (Sun Yaling) said in private that he hoped that Du Caige would treat everyone equally and redeem some of the investment shares of Chasing Dream Huyu...

Du Caige was surprised.

I didn't expect that you, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would betray the revolution and join the new chairman.

He didn't spend too much time talking with Xu Liang, but just chatted with Xu Liang.

After sending Xu Liang away, he went directly to Sun Yaling.

"Is that what you mean? Or what Yan Yingzhen meant?"

"How dare I meddle in the affairs of you two big brothers?" Sun Yaling smiled wryly, "I'm just a mouthpiece."

"Then what exactly does she mean?"

Sun Yaling spread her hands, "I don't dare to ask. How about, lady boss, you can ask the boss directly?...Ah, I was wrong, boss, you can ask the boss lady directly?"

"You can call her Boss, but you have to call me Lao Du," Du Caige corrected the addressing problem. "Plus, I don't want to talk to her right now."

"Then it's useless for you to look for me! It's better to look for the boss, maybe there will be surprises."

"Can there be any surprises?" Du Caige sneered, "Is she going to pay me back?"

"When the boss lost his temper last time, he said: How dare he argue with me for this little money? I originally wanted to sell Hongyuan Cinema to him at cost price in the future, but now, it's gone!"

Du Caige said in a low tone, "Is this what she asked you to convey?"

"No," Sun Yaling was taken aback and quickly waved her hands. The chairman didn't seem dignified at all. "The boss even told me not to tell you! Brother Du, don't hurt me."

Du Caige sat down opposite her desk, lowered his eyelids: "I don't want to look for her, if you don't speak clearly, I won't leave."

Sun Yaling walked around the desk and sat down next to him, still with a wry smile on her face, "Brother, can you not hurt me? I didn't even dare to talk to you before. You don't know how much the boss thinks about you." .”

"...can you stop talking nonsense and get straight to the point?"

"The theme is..." Sun Yaling pondered.

It took a while to make up my mind, "I'll just make my own decision. Then I declare first that this is my guess and imagination, and the boss didn't ask me to convey it."

"You said."

"I think, the boss wants you to understand that business is business, and don't confuse business with personal feelings. You like making movies, which are very personal feelings. But this project is an investment and a business. This matter , she doesn't understand you at all, and is pretty sure you're doing something wrong."

Du Caige was a little blocked, thought for a while, and said slowly under Sun Yaling's gaze: "I actually don't know if I'm right. But I can be sure of one thing, when it comes to making movies, I don't think about right or wrong. I just want to make good movies. I'm just a director, I'm not a qualified company leader."

"Don't say that! Brother Du, your thinking circuit is a little more emotional. You are an artist, I understand." Sun Yaling said with a smirk.

"No in-depth discussion. So what does she want? Really want me to redeem the investment share of Chasing Dream Huyu?"

"Actually, this is my proposal, and the boss just nodded in acquiescence."

"Your proposal?" Du Caige was surprised.

"After all, I am the chairman of Chasing Dream Huyu now. I have to consider the company's financial statements for this year and make the statements look better in preparation for the next listing."

"Is it still on the market?"

"That's right, if this year and next year continue to produce blockbuster works, then the company must consider going public to make money." Sun Yaling said in a natural tone.

Du Caige was dumbfounded for a moment, "It's up to you. Anyway, I only hold 5% of the company's shares now, and I don't understand capital operations. You can play however you want."

Sun Yaling seemed very speechless: "Brother, is it necessary for you in front of me? You are still the major shareholder of Juzhi Investment, and Juzhi Investment is the major shareholder of Chasing Dream Huyu. In fact, Chasing Dream Huyu's business is You and my boss have the final say."

After a pause, she continued: "So, if you don't agree to the redemption, then of course I have nothing to say."

"But if you are not very sure of getting more than 12 billion at the box office, for the sake of the development of Zhumenghuyu, I sincerely suggest that your personal studio redeem the investment share of Zhumenghuyu. Anyway, you have Rich people, with a net worth of tens of billions, even if the movie loses everything, it will not hurt you. When the planning of Hongyuan Real Estate is completed, your net worth will skyrocket by a lot."

"But if you don't redeem it, the movie will suffer serious losses, and the financial statements of Chasing Dream Huyu this year will not look good, and it will be difficult to develop according to the original plan."

Du Caige was agitated for a while, got up and said, "Whatever you want, you can redeem it. Give me some time, and I will get the money."

Does he have confidence in his film?

Of course there are.

He always believes that he can make a good movie.

But does he have confidence in the box office of his film?

Saying "Of course there is" is for others to hear, to fool people.

In fact, I have a little confidence, but not firm or strong.

His real thought is "I think, the box office should be good, probably it won't lose money, probably. If it really loses, I can't help it. I'm not a god. There are movies that are popular or not popular every year, and I'm not bad. This one."

So Sun Yaling has talked about this, what else can he say?Go ahead and raise money.

Then this day, Chen Fufang brought Caiwei over.

Chapter 564 The Daughter’s Pocket Money For Dad

"Papa, when are you going to move there? I want to play with you every day!" Caiwei jumped into Du Caige's arms and acted like a baby.

Du Caige rubbed her little head, today Chen Fufang tied two short shofar braids for her, as cute as a doll in a New Year painting.

She has just passed her 8th birthday, and although her face is still round, her figure is becoming more and more slender.

Indistinctly, it seems that there is such a little bit of girlish breath.

But overall, she's still a naive, romantic little kid.

Especially when he spoke, the ignorant childlike air could no longer be concealed.Maybe he was overprotected. If he was a child from an ordinary family, he would probably be a little more sensible.

Du Caige hugged her for a while, then stuffed her to Long Jiumei who was waiting beside her, and asked, "Mom, when do you think it's appropriate to move?"

"If you want me to say, move right away." Long Jiumei has been home for more than half a year, and her complexion has become more rosy, and her expression has become more gentle and less fierce.

She hugged Caiwei with a kind smile and doting eyes.
