The cannon fodder awakens and kills like crazy with the God of Wealth

"Director Lin, please show your face." Wang Mingyue looked towards the closed tea room inside the box.

Before sitting down, Wang Mingyue noticed that Xu Yi subconsciously looked at the tea room, and the doors of the function rooms inside the dining rooms were usually open when someone was dining there.

Wang Mingyue had a hunch that Lin Zhenyuan was in the tea room in the private room.

"Eavesdropping is not what a gentleman does." Wang Mingyue said calmly, leaving no one knowing her attitude.

The young lady stared at the door. Is there a living person hiding in the box?

Wang Mingyue guessed that Lin Zhenyuan was hiding in the tea room, so there was no point in pretending to be a quail.

Lin Zhenyuan opened the door of the tea room and came out with a polite yet awkward smile on his face. If he had known he would be discovered, he would not have hidden and eavesdropped like a thief.

He and Wang Mingyue had no friendship, so he just stood there blankly, and said with a lack of confidence, "Hello, Mr. Xu, Hello, Mr. Wang, I am sorry for being so presumptuous."

"Director Lin wants to cooperate with our Chaoxi Media, but he has no sincerity at all and is hiding it. How shameful are you?"

The eldest lady never suffers grievances. "No matter what your considerations are, Director Lin, we can't cooperate with you with this attitude. Shen Ling's script will not be given to you to shoot. Just give up on this idea."

The eldest lady was just saying that out of anger. She took one look at Wang Mingyue's expression, which was like a cat that had stolen some dried fish, and knew that cooperation was inevitable. She just wanted to lose her temper and play the good cop role.

Wang Mingyue calmly tried to smooth things over, "Chao Chao, Director Lin might just be worried that the last Tangyi incident would affect our cooperation, so he hired someone to lobby for him. Why don't you give him another chance?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I am narrow-minded and judge others by my own standards. I hope Mr. Xu will give me a chance and not make a fuss with me."

Lin Zhenyuan never thought that Wang Mingyue was such a magnanimous person and would speak up for him. If he had known earlier, he would have been braver and directly approached Chaoxi Media. Why bother?

Lin Zhenyuan didn't know, but Wang Anning and Xu Yi knew that Wang Mingyue was in charge of major matters at Chaoxi Media, and for small matters like investing in a drama, whatever Xu Chaochao said was the final word.

If we don't make Xu Chaochao happy, there's really no way to discuss this matter.

So Xu Chaochao elegantly picked up a piece of sweet lotus root with osmanthus and didn't continue.

Noticing that everyone was looking at her, the hospitable lady called out to everyone, "Come and eat. The food in this hotel is pretty good. It has a different flavor compared to the food in Shanghai."

Avoiding the topic, Lin Zhenyuan was unsure what the eldest lady meant.

"The young lady doesn't want to talk to someone who is insincere." Wang Mingyue told Lin Zhenyuan compassionately.

Wang Mingyue felt that she had to bring an assistant with her when discussing business. As a boss, it was a bit embarrassing for her to personally give Lin Zhenyuan advice.

Lin Zhenyuan suddenly realized, "In order to express my sincerity in cooperating with Chaoxi Media, I only want 5% of the profit share."

As a well-known director, Lin Zhenyuan can still get 5%-10% even though the majority of the profits are taken by the investors. The remuneration of 50 to 100 million per episode is calculated separately.

After Lin Zhenyuan became famous, his prices were basically above 5%. He gave the lowest price right away, which was considered sincere.

Wang Mingyue was still not satisfied.

But a low share ratio alone is not enough. Every bit of savings counts.

Xu Chaochao still didn't say anything. Wang Mingyue talked to Lin Zhenyuan, Wang Anning and Xu Yi about the pay standards of Chaoxi Media.

"At Chaoxi Media, the pay is generally between 2,000 and 500,000 per episode. I can't afford actors who are too expensive."

It’s not that I can’t afford the money, I just feel it’s unnecessary. Many veteran actors are paid tens of thousands of yuan per episode.

Wang Mingyue will not tolerate the trend of popular idols who only have fame but no acting skills receiving sky-high pay.

Chaoxi Media does not hire people without acting skills and does not offer high salaries.

It’s up to you to act or not. If you don’t want to act, forget it. There are plenty of people who are willing to act for you.

Wang Anning and Xu Yi said they could accept it. They were straightforward and Wang Mingyue was not stingy either, offering 500,000 per episode.

Lin Zhenyuan said that 500,000 per episode would be fine.

The silent young lady looked away from the food in surprise, slowly looking at Lin Zhenyuan's face, and asked doubtfully, "Director Lin has participated in the profit sharing, does he still need to get paid for the film?"

Lin Zhenyuan went crazy. That was money. Five hundred thousand per episode. How much would that cost for dozens of episodes?

Disappearing money is a breathing pain.

"When I filmed other dramas, I got both commission and pay." Lin Zhenyuan wanted to fight for himself.

"Then Director Lin can go and film other dramas." Xu Chaochao didn't even raise his head, looking unmoved.

Lin Zhenyuan wanted to say something else.

Wang Mingyue picked up a piece of lotus fish for the eldest lady and interrupted the conversation, "We'll talk about work later. Let's eat first. The food is getting cold."

"We have to eat while it's hot. If we don't, we'll get tired of the dish and won't want to eat it anymore. Even if the dish is good and we reheat it, we won't pick it up again."

It seemed like he was talking about the food, but it also seemed like he wasn't talking about the food. Lin Zhenyuan reluctantly agreed, "Yes, Mr. Wang is right. Let's eat it while it's hot."

Lin Zhenyuan was struggling with his conscience while eating. After finishing his meal, he called Wang Mingyue and Xu Chaochao.

"Mr. Wang, Mr. Xu, I can get the share only." The words "I can" came out of Lin Zhenyuan's throat as if they were pierced by something. It was obvious that Lin Zhenyuan himself was not willing to do so.

"I came here with sincerity, and I also have a small request." It is understandable that Lin Zhenyuan has some requests after giving up such a large sum of money.

Wang Mingyue smiled sincerely, "Director Lin, please feel free to ask for anything you want."

"I want to sign a contract with Chaoxi Media to guarantee investment in three film and television works directed by me and written by Shen Ling."

Wang Mingyue thought it was something else. This was just a pillow for him to throw away when he was asleep. Who could refuse to invest in Lin Zhenyuan's drama?

Add to that Shen Ling, this little cash cow, it’s so sweet.

Lin Zhenyuan was determined to cooperate with Shen Ling. He couldn't wait to sign the contract and urge Shen Ling to write the script that he had been itching to write.

Wang Mingyue and Xu Chaochao played in Kyoto for two days. When they returned to Shanghai, Lin Zhenyuan was already waiting to sign the contract.

Wang Mingyue discussed the cooperation with Lin Zhenyuan with Shen Ling in advance.

Shen Ling was present when the contract was signed and took the opening written by Lin Zhenyuan and handed it to her.

"So it's because of this script." Shen Ling stood quietly aside and looked through it. "This script has been completed a long time ago."

"Really?" Lin Zhenyuan took two steps forward excitedly. "Where is it?"

"I sold it to the company." Shen Ling replied with a smile.

Even though Lin Zhenyuan liked the script and wanted her to film it with him even if he had to cede land and pay compensation, she still didn't think she lost money by selling the three scripts as a package for one million.

Wang Mingyue was very kind to her and transferred her mother to Xincheng Hospital for surgery and paid the surgery fees. She also transferred 20,000 yuan to her for emergency without hesitation when she was penniless.

Which boss can do this? He is not only her boss, but also her benefactor.
