Chapter 270 Disclaimer
"Isn't this a bad idea? We've just opened the business and we're using it to shoot a movie. It'll affect business." Hu Xiaoxiao considered everything for Luo Sheng. "Business is more important. We can't let it get delayed."
Li Huishan: What a bullshit business! What a bullshit business!
There are not many people in Jinjing Building now, it is probably full of ghosts.
Li Huishan wore a sincere smile on his face. "Movie production is also Luo Sheng's business. Whether it's Starlight Cinema or Jinjing Building, they're both Yi Hai Gang properties. It's only natural for the two companies to help each other. It's also only natural for the two companies to support each other's business. We're brother companies after all."
"However, the crew is short of funds and we can't pay the rent. That's why I thought of asking Master Xie for help."
"Why would we charge rent for our own business? Jinjing Building doesn't charge rent either. You can shoot however you want and for as long as you want."
"But..." Hu Xiaoxiao was very embarrassed. "When filming, there will inevitably be bumps and bruises. This is an action movie. What if the decoration of the building is damaged?"
Li Huishan didn't care at all and said, "It doesn't matter if it's damaged, we can just redecorate it."
Hu Xiaoxiao showed a look of surprise, "Are you serious? Does Luo Sheng have any objections? Otherwise, Brother Shan should go and ask Luo Sheng for his advice."
"Please rest assured, Ms. Hu. I can make the full decision for Luo Sheng."
"Then please ask Brother Shan to send a disclaimer to the crew. If there are any damages, the crew is not allowed to pay for it."
"It's a deal." Li Huishan was so happy that he persuaded Hu Xiaoxiao to use the Jinjing Building. He agreed to all the conditions Hu Xiaoxiao proposed and even provided three meals a day for the crew.
In other words, the crew saved some money on food.
Dong Peiyu, who was in charge of expenses, heard this and looked up in surprise. After exchanging a glance with Hu Xiaoxiao, she left the meeting room under the pretext of making a copy and went to inquire about what happened in Jinjing Building. She actually made Li Huishan beg for the invitation.
Li Huishan personally wrote a disclaimer and gave it to Hu Xiaoxiao, telling Hu Xiaoxiao to use it as long as he was willing to go there to film.
As long as the crew could successfully enter and film, it meant the building could operate normally. This was extremely important to Luo Sheng.
After accepting the disclaimer with signature and official seal, Hu Xiaoxiao said that he would ask the screenwriter to move the important scenes to the Jinjing Building, shoot as many scenes there as possible, and give the building sufficient publicity.
After seeing off the happy Li Huishan, Hu Xiaoxiao saw Dong Peiyu wink at her. The two got in the car and drove some distance away from the Starlight Cinema before they started talking.
"Xiaoxiao, I just went to check it out, and something happened in Jinjing Building again." Dong Peiyu said mysteriously.
"What happened again?"
"Didn't Luo Sheng invite a Thai master to come and exorcise the evil spirit? I heard that the master not only failed to exorcise the evil spirit, but also accidentally fell from the upstairs and broke his leg."
Hu Xiaoxiao laughed: "It seems that even the monks from outside can't chant the sutras well."
Dong Peiyu also laughed. "It is said that after the master's accident, the door of the building often couldn't be opened. The lights were always broken during the day, but at night, the lights that were clearly turned off would suddenly come on again."
Dong Peiyu felt a little creepy when she heard this. "Xiaoxiao, why don't you reconsider it? I don't think choosing Jinjing Building to film is a good idea. What if..."
What if there really is a ghost?
In broad daylight, Dong Peiyu felt a chill on her back.
"It doesn't matter." Hu Xiaoxiao said while steering, "No matter how evil you are, you can't be more evil than me."
After returning, Hu Xiaoxiao sorted out the effects of Zhijin Huoluo Oil, the taste characteristics of Shixunwei Wife Cake, and the advertising slogans given by the two companies, and faxed them to Liang Jiafeng, asking him to add them to the plot lines.
The two advertising companies were very quick to transfer the money, and it was quickly deposited into the accounts. Hu Xiaoxiao calculated that choosing the Jinjing Building as the main location would save a lot of money, and the money received would be enough to cover the crew's expenses.
So, Hu Xiaoxiao discussed the start date of filming with Director Du.
On the other side, Li Huishan returned and reported to Luo Cheng on the progress of the new movie and Hu Xiaoxiao's extraordinary ability to make money.
"Mr. Luo, you don't know how many advertisers wanted to place advertisements in "The Hitman's Bodyguard", but Hu Xiaoxiao only chose two." After Li Huishan left Starlight Cinema, he immediately checked the investment situation of "The Hitman's Bodyguard". He was shocked to find that there were indeed many businesses that wanted to give money to Hu Xiaoxiao, but Hu Xiaoxiao refused.
After he learned about this, he felt so hurt. How could Hu Xiaoxiao refuse money when it was offered to him? If it were him, he would take whatever he could get. Maybe the advertising fees would even outweigh the box office revenue.
Luo Cheng saw the bigger picture than Li Huishan and said, "Hu Xiaoxiao wants to make this movie a success. Too many advertisements will affect the quality of the film, which is not worth the effort."
Luo Cheng was concerned about the Jinjing Building. No matter how high the box office was, how much could the movie earn? He had spent a lot of money to buy the Jinjing Building. If it couldn't operate, he would lose everything.
"Since the funds are in place and the studio has been lent to them, you should let them start filming as soon as possible." Luo Cheng urged.
Li Huishan quickly agreed, saying, "I'll follow up on this matter. But Luo Sheng, is it really okay to lend them the building? What if something happens to the crew inside the building? News spreads quickly in the entertainment industry, so wouldn't it make things worse?"
Luo Cheng held a teacup, his hand heavy. "We can only try our best. Didn't Hu Xiaoxiao say that she has sufficient yang energy and is immune to all evil? Let her stay in the building for a while. If it's true, like she said, that she can suppress those evil spirits like the sun, maybe she can burn all those things."
"What if she is talking nonsense?" Li Huishan accidentally said the truth.
However, what happened on the opening day of Jinjing Building has always been imprinted in Luo Chengzai's mind. No one understands the weirdness of that day better than him, the person involved. Everything that was not going well for him, became smooth sailing in Hu Xiaoxiao's hands.
In addition, the Thai master who was hired at a high price failed to exorcise the evil spirit and was carried out with a broken leg. It was impossible for Luo Cheng to say that he was not afraid.
"I hope what she said is true. If it's not, then the ghosts in the Jinjing Building will teach her a lesson."
"By the way, Luo Sheng, Hu Xiaoxiao asked me to produce a disclaimer stating that if anything in the building is damaged during filming, no compensation can be claimed."
Luo Cheng nodded and said, "I understand. I believe they will know their limits."
It was his territory, and his men didn't dare to mess things up too much.
At this time, Luo Cheng still imagined things to be too simple.
