Chapter 634 This unfortunate artist cannot be brought along anymore (1 update)
Mu Chenan has been in the industry for so many years, and he has heard about investors running away before.
However, at that time, he was a nobody in the company. He basically took advantage of the company's basic salary and the teachers hired by the company with high salaries. He took classes and studied with a group of newcomers who had dreams of becoming stars.
After hearing this every time, he just treated it as a joke to adjust the boring courses.
He was like a wild animal in a melon field. After listening to it every time, he would make a few comments in a proper manner, symbolically sympathize with the main creators of the crew, and then continue to attend the class.
Maybe it was retribution. Now, the same thing happened to him.
Mu Chenan was so worried.
The original investment in this drama was only 8 million.
8 million sounds like a lot, but this is a TV series. With the current minimum investment of tens of millions, 8 million is really not even enough to pass.
The key director is still a person who strives for perfection. Most of the funds were used on costumes and makeup. Except for Mu Chenan, a well-known artist, all the actors in the entire crew are newcomers.
Mu Chenan himself took a pitiful 800,000 yuan salary, but he was already the highest paid in the entire crew. For
this drama, the director invested 3 million, the screenwriter invested 1 million, and the remaining 4 million was raised by the two of them with great effort.
The other party was also trying the film and television industry for the first time. He knew nothing about this industry and would not randomly squeeze people in. He perfectly met the director's requirements.
However, this investor happened to have problems with his business. At this time, he naturally had to take care of his main business. Naturally, his side business like investing in TV series had to be sacrificed.
As a result, the crew was in trouble.
The moment he heard the news, Mu Chenan immediately said that he did not want any salary, and took out 2.2 million, which was considered an investment of 3 million in the crew.
When the agent learned about it, his face turned black.
Since Mu Chenan became famous, the company has changed his agent.
The two of them cooperated well. When the agent heard that he not only did charity and took this drama with a very low salary, but now he didn't even want the salary, but took out 2.2 million from his small treasury, he just felt his head buzzing.
"Grandfather! What are you thinking? Although this is your first time playing the leading male role, you don't have to pay so much for a leading male role, do you?"
"What do you think? What if the show can't be filmed? Your investment will be wasted. Not only will you not make any money, but you will even lose money!"
"You've made a fortune, do you know that?"
Mu Chenan looked at the piggy bank he had earned this year. After taking out 2.2 million, there was not much left.
The endorsement fee was too high.
If he hadn't just paid the down payment for a villa in Beijing, he would still be very wealthy.
Don't get me wrong, the film remuneration in the piggy bank is very small. The vast majority of it is the endorsements from various big brands he took last year.
Speaking of this, we have to talk about Sang Yian.
You have to know that those who wanted to exchange for the mushroom last year couldn't find this person, and in the end, they could only throw resources at her brother. Those
who were given endorsements were given endorsements, and those who were given roles were given roles.
The scene at that time simply shocked the entertainment industry.
There are many second-generation rich people in the entertainment industry. These people enter the industry with their own resources and have extremely strong money-making abilities.
But what about Mu Chenan?
He was born in an ordinary family, with no identity or background, let alone connections.
But he has a sister.
Others all brought capital into the group, but he didn't need to bring capital, and the capital was directly thrown at him! This is more enviable than those second-generation rich people!
Last year, those endorsements came one after another, making many artists drool with envy. Why don't they have such a magical sister!
The agent naturally knew the inside story, "Why don't you ask our sister? Even if you invest 3 million, you should know that this is definitely not enough. Our crew will definitely exceed it!"
Mu Chenan, who had been nonchalant just now, immediately became serious, "That won't work!"
The agent was confused, "Our sister shouldn't be short of those 3 or 5 million, right? Since you have invested, you definitely can't let the crew go to waste halfway through filming due to lack of funds, right?"
"My sister works hard to make money. She is just a middleman, and the suppliers make the biggest money. If the filming really can't go on, then all the investment will be wasted. How can this be possible? I can't cheat my sister."
Mu Chenan's tone was very serious. Obviously, this is what he thought.
The agent was dumbfounded. "What kind of logic is this? Since you know that this investment is risky and may fail, why do you still invest?"
"Why, your money just came from the wind?"
The agent was furious.
Mu Chenan smiled, "That's different. This is a good script. If it can be filmed, it will definitely be a classic masterpiece! I can't bear to see such a good script shelved due to insufficient investment! So I invested."
The agent didn't understand.
Mu Chenan continued, "I want to try all kinds of roles and I want to make classic works. This is my ideal. For this ideal, I can take risks and invest."
"But this matter has nothing to do with my sister in essence! I don't want her to take risks for my ideal."
"Besides, it's much easier for me to make money working in the entertainment industry than for her. Even if I lose this time, I can make money again."
Okay, the agent understood.
I thought this topic had come to an end, but when I turned around, I heard Mu Chenan continue, "Why don't you invest some too?"
"You made a lot last year, and you definitely can't get involved in big projects. If you want to invest in film and television, this is a great opportunity! If you miss this opportunity, you'll never get it again!"
Mu Chenan's tone was very provocative, "Our crew has a great opportunity to make a small profit!"
"With the quality of our script and the acting skills of all the actors in the crew, plus the director's training, the quality of the film will definitely be high! If we make money, it will be a big profit!"
Mu Chenan's pie was really big and round, "What do you think? Take a chance and turn a bicycle into a motorcycle!"
The agent's face turned even darker, and he rolled his eyes at him without any hesitation, "It's not easy for our sister to make money, but it's easy for me to make money?"
"You can't compensate our sister's money, but I can compensate my money, right?"
The agent turned around and left in anger, and asked the legal department to see if there were any traps in the investment contract of the unlucky artist, and whether it could be signed.
Oh, and by the way, he also invested 2 million.
It was definitely not that he was attracted by the big pie drawn by Mu Chenan, but just to support his own artist.
Yes, that's it.
The agent who was optimistic about the contract originally wanted to give his own artist a surprise. The crew had money and could continue filming. However, the lounge was empty.
After asking, he found out that our sister came to visit!
