Siege

Xu Jincheng found that sometimes he was ridiculously dull. He understood a long time ago that Yan Han was an out-and-out businessman who valued profit rather than affection, and it was because of this that he was able to make bucket after bucket of money.Xu Jincheng used to look down on Yan Han, who smelled more and more copper. He used to see it clearly. Today, how could he naively think that Yan Han would support Jiang Yuting without hesitation based on his past affection?How much money can the old things in the mirror be worth?A few days ago, Jiang Yuting was very pleased to say that she was very happy to receive Yan Han's full support. Xu Jincheng recalled Yuting's peaceful and satisfied appearance, and then looked at the sarcastic Yan Han in front of him. I met a ruthless, ironic joke that was comparable to cold scum.

Xu Jincheng resisted the urge to punch him, and continued to ask calmly: "Chen Xiaochuan knows?"

Yan Han admitted it generously, and said: "Of course he knows, but I advise you not to think about Chen Xiaochuan. Entertainment has recently encountered troubles, and there is a risk of being acquired. He is more anxious than anyone else. With the money, this movie is good, but it’s a pity that it didn’t catch up with the good time. Besides, the budget was too expensive to set up the scene, and the casting was too late. The salary of you and Jiang Yuting alone is too high. All in all, the movie is not an investment. great opportunity."

There is no reason to add guilt, Xu Jincheng's heart was completely cold, Yan Han obviously finished half of his speech, he analyzed the deep meaning of Yan Han's words, the more he thought about it, the colder he felt, the colder he felt for Jiang Yuting, the colder he felt for himself , he always catches the shadow of Jin Chi in the indistinct and chaotic clouds of suspicion.At this time, there is no time to be sad, so Xu Jincheng summoned up his courage and continued: "So you have found a better investment?"

Yan Han glanced at him, and said casually: "You have been in this industry for so long, you should know the high and low returns of film investment. Among the films released, only 20.00% can make money, and 70.00% of the money is neither earned nor lost. The remaining [-]% is loss. This year's market is average, and foreign blockbusters are too strong. I have already lost a few films. Just to be prudent, I can only feel sorry for Yuting. If you are not in a hurry, you can wait until I turn around When there is no problem, continue to vote.”

Yan Han seemed to have given enough face, he didn't say anything to death, and politely promised half-truths and half-false promises. Unfortunately, what Xu Jincheng lacks most now is not even money. He lacks time and can't wait for a minute go down.

Xu Jincheng already had vague calculations in his mind, so he simply asked directly: "You and Chen Xiaochuan can be regarded as senior people in the industry, and the big productions in your hands are sure to make money. Whether this film can make money, you should I know very well in my heart that you suddenly withdrew your capital, I am afraid it was intentional. Besides, regardless of Jiang Yuting and I, Di Chengye alone has a background. You left a bad name? Tell me, what is the reason for this sudden decision? What kind of money is there to earn so hard, and not hesitate to joke about the reputation, I am really curious, you can tell me."

Yan Han was a little annoyed by Xu Jincheng's words, so he stood up and issued an order to evict the customer, saying: "This is already an established fact, and there was no joint venture agreement signed at the beginning. Do you have any objections? If not, please go back. I am very happy here." If you are too busy to take care of whether you will make any films, you can consider raising money from the bank."

"What do you mean by not signing a joint venture agreement?" Xu Jincheng was surprised, which was obviously unreasonable.

"It's the literal meaning. I just gave Yuting a verbal answer first. She was too impatient, and she got wind of it with the media early." Yan Han replied.

"So you just took advantage of this gap and completely failed her trust?" Xu Jincheng said coldly, "Why are you taking your stinky money and love? I will definitely make the film. If it doesn't work, don't worry about it. You'd better take your single-plank bridge, I'll take my Yangguan Road, it's more comfortable for us if you don't get involved." After he finished speaking, he got up and left without giving Yan Han any attention.

Yan Han secretly shook his head nonchalantly, feeling that Xu Jincheng was just a clown sometimes, except for his good looks, he didn't have much ability, while Xu Jinchi seemed like a real person, a ruthless character who planned his strategies calmly, and didn't Knowing where Xu Jincheng offended Jin Chi, Jin Chi has the intention of killing them all. The Xu family's conflict of interests will probably be a good show soon.Yan Han knew that if he got involved, he would definitely offend people, but if he offended anyone, he couldn't offend money, money is the essence.

Xu Jincheng walked out of Yan Han's office, wondering if the air conditioner in his room was turned on too cold, Xu Jincheng only felt cold, and the bright sun outside the window could not melt the cold around him at all.He really wanted to ask directly just now whether Jin Chi was obstructing him, but when the words reached his lips, Xu Jincheng swallowed it back. Yan Han was right, since it has become an established fact, instead of delving deeper into it and embarrassing himself, It's better to think of a solution quickly.

Xu Jincheng didn't take the elevator directly to leave. He turned to the fire escape stairs beside him, took a few deep breaths, and calmed down.Yu Ting doesn't have much time to waste. It is impossible to re-invest in such a short period of time or obtain financing from the bank. He has seen the original budget and roughly knows Di Chengye's expected expenses.Xu Jincheng's economics degree is finally not in vain. At this moment, he is quickly calculating various filming costs in his mind. For online costs, Jiang Yuting, Di Chengye and himself can be exempted first. This is a big deal. , the rest of the cast and crew are easy to talk about. As for offline expenses, including renting a studio, setting, costumes, behind-the-scenes labor, etc., Xu Jincheng does not plan to cut it. A slight increase is also acceptable.After calculating the general cost, Xu Jincheng sorted out the property that he could use immediately. After he had a rough idea in his mind, he breathed a sigh of relief and made a decision immediately.

He can solve the money issue by himself, but the other issue requires the cooperation of Yan Han. When people are under the roof, there will always be times when they bow their heads. For Yuting, he is willing to bow his head.Xu Jincheng walked back into Yan Han's room again, Yan Han saw him turn back, his tone was full of impatience, and asked: "What's the matter?"

Xu Jincheng said calmly: "Whether it was before or just now, if I offend you, I apologize to you. Don't bother with me if you have a lot of words."

Yan Han stared at Xu Jincheng dumbfounded, feeling horrified and inexplicable. Is the dignified Xu Jincheng sleepwalking or insane?He asked lately, "What did you say?"

Xu Jincheng smiled slightly, and said, "I said I apologize to you, but I need your help with something."

It turned out that he wanted something, Yan Han heaved a sigh of relief, and said: "Forget about investing, it's impossible."

"I know. But the withdrawal of funds means that you don't want to post it. Also, please make sure you don't tell Jiang Yuting about your withdrawal of funds. I will invest in this movie myself. You don't need to spend a penny. There is only one condition, you withdraw the funds." The matter must be kept from Jiang Yuting, even if it is pretending that you are the producer."

Yan Han was confused and asked, "What do you mean?"

Xu Jincheng spoke firmly, and said: "No other meaning, I just don't want to make Jiang Yuting sad, a thousand dollars for a smile, if you don't do it, I will help you."

"You're not interested in Yuting, are you?" Yan Han was completely suspicious.

Xu Jincheng smiled and said: "Yeah, what should I do? After so many years, I finally realized that I love her so much and want to pursue her. We have agreed before that I will marry her when she is not married at 45." But she doesn't love me, so there is no other way but to make her happy. If she is happy, she might be able to marry me a few years earlier. But how much did she care about you back then? You don't want me to repeat the old story? You have to get her early Only if she has a knot in her heart, can she marry me with peace of mind, for the sake of friendship for many years, can you do it?"

Yan Han was embarrassed to death by Xu Jincheng, who was so humble and polite, and who talked about love and love without shame, but there was still an old relationship with Jiang Yuting in the middle. Forced by the current situation, Xu Jincheng gave the steps right now. Although it looked strange and half-truthful, he still complied and prepared to wait and see what happened.

Seeing Yan Han's agreement, Xu Jincheng felt a little relieved, and before leaving, he said: "The day when you don't make enough money, but people can't wait, please do me this favor, and our past accounts will be considered even. I hope you will keep your promise, not for me, but for Yuting, how she was at the beginning, and what she is doing now, you should know best in your heart that Yuting's life is not easy, but if you have any sympathy for her, please keep your promise , don't hurt her again."

In fact, if Jiang Yuting is allowed to bear all the investment by herself, she will also have this strength, but Yuting said that she plans to use her property to set up a student foundation for charity. Will use Yuting's money.As for other ways, he thought about asking Jinchi for help, but what if Jinchi was really the one who made trouble?Xu Jincheng felt that he had been made nervous by Jiang Yuting's affairs, and he could no longer bear other blows, so he simply paid for it himself, which was more worry-free.

After all, Xu Jincheng is a kind of romantic person. He spent all his wealth just to fulfill the last wish of his good friend Yu Ting, and even went so far as to make peace with Yan Han in a low voice, just to prevent Yu Ting's last time Chilling.After a long time, Xu Jincheng didn't get a single cent of the box office profit after the film was released, and all of it was transferred to the charity fund left by Yuting. Decide.

Xu Jincheng didn't let Jiang Yuting or Di Chengye know what Xu Jincheng did. He took it on himself and silently, allowing Di Chengye to create with confidence and boldly, and also let Jiang Yuting maintain a good mood to act in peace.His upright loyalty and integrity are so out of place in the mercenary environment, he can be dismissed as a stupid white lotus showing off.

It is also because of this that there has always been only one Xu Jincheng, and no one can surpass or replace him.
