Investing in a film is a very complicated matter, but it becomes much simpler for Si Mingyu. He only needs to make the decision, and the company's legal team is responsible for the contract and other matters.
The two protagonists were on the phone, and the supporting actors Zhang Binbin and Reba took this opportunity to have a few more drinks with Si Mingyu.
Don’t look at how much wealth those rich people have. A large part of it is in properties or company stocks. There are really not many people like Si Mingyu who can come up with 100 million yuan while chatting and laughing, at least not many who are under 30 years old.
And from what happened to Zhuang Feida, they learned that he was a very kind person. If what you did made him happy, he would definitely not let you suffer any loss. In this situation, how could they not know what to do?
Yang Mu quickly completed the discussion, and the investment was finalized. Lin Shirui was then handed over to oversee the follow-up. Of course, this investment was only financial, and if Si Mingyu needed to use his connections, he would have to earn a higher share of the future profits.
Why did he get so much from the previous film? First of all, of course, his investment accounted for half of it, and secondly, the director including Xu Jinglei and many actors gave up the additional box office share.
These actors have already made no loss after receiving their own remuneration. They all know that without Si Mingyu, the drama will not only not be popular but may even lose money, so they choose to give up profits to gain fame.
Want to gain both fame and fortune? Don’t you even look at who the other party is? Who among these second- and third-tier actors dares to touch the capital’s cake?
After a while, Tang Yan came back, and it was clear from her expression that things were not going well.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Si, the producer and other investors don't agree with you sending someone to supervise the crew." Tang Yan felt embarrassed when he said this.
There are many people in the circle who make money by investing in movies, but this cannot be considered a scam.
They're all legitimate film and television companies with all the necessary qualifications. If you pay them, they'll actually make a movie according to the script, but forget about the quality. They've already received their due compensation, so it's none of their business if the film doesn't get released. So many movies are made every year, most of which never get released.
As for the cost of filming, it is even harder to say. There is no standard for this, but those who understand the things involved will understand.
Of course, they wouldn't dare take advantage of Si Mingyu, but that doesn't mean they can't take advantage of him. Otherwise, why would Si Mingyu ask for someone to supervise? He invests to make money. I can't control others, but no one should touch my money.
After hearing Tang Yan's words, Si Mingyu acted indifferent: "Sister Tang, you are an insider, and you understand many things better than me. No one's money falls from the sky. This is my condition. If it works, I will invest. If not, forget it."
"I understand. I'm so sorry, Mr. Si. I'll talk to them again."
Tang Yan was also angry. They had agreed on something, but now it had changed. How could she explain this to Si Mingyu? If she had known this would happen, she would never have released the script for this film. Now that she had left Si Mingyu with the impression that she was unreliable, it had a huge impact on her.
"Sister Tang, I'll give you this face. Three days, and then we'll let this matter go." Si Mingyu didn't care about these things. If he had money, would he be afraid of having no place to spend it?
"Thank you, Mr. Si." Tang Yan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Since the matter was settled, Si Mingyu didn't stay any longer.
On the way back, I received a message from Zhang Ningxi, and I wanted to convey Zhuang Feida's gratitude. Yes, Si Mingyu didn't have any friends with her at all.
As for calling directly to express her gratitude, Zhuang Feida didn't dare. Si Mingyu had been drinking quite a bit at the dinner table earlier. What if she called and upset him? Who knew what tempers could become after drinking too much? So she chose to maintain her relationship with Zhang Ningxi.
After leaving the hotel, Tang Yan immediately called the producer again.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Investors like Si Mingyu are almost extinct now. Let alone 50 million, even if it's a few million, many investors will ask questions non-stop, and all kinds of conditions will come one after another.
On the other hand, it is normal for Si Mingyu to ask for someone to supervise since he has invested. I should know where my own money is spent, right?
But the entertainment industry is full of all kinds of people. Tang Yan had already discussed the matter with the producer before receiving the script, but when he called just now and found out that Si Mingyu was a second-generation rich kid, he immediately changed his mind and refused to send someone to supervise.
To be honest, Tang Yan had no idea how powerful Si Mingyu was in the entertainment industry. She had previously spoken to Xu Jinglei about the casting change in a previous drama, and she was told that it was a junior leader from a related department who called her. While his position wasn't high, he happened to be a supervisor.
So I don’t know whether Si Mingyu just happened to know such a person or he could find the supervisor whenever he wanted.
But Tang Yan had no way of telling the producer on the other end of the phone about this sort of thing, and she had no way of telling him about other things like arranging theaters, because even she didn't know whether it was really arranged or just luck that led to the scheduling of the film.
In this case, the producer would definitely not believe Tang Yan's words. In his opinion, Si Mingyu was just a rich second-generation who invested money just to make a living in the entertainment industry. Such a person didn't know anything about making a movie. If he didn't cheat him, who else would he cheat?
Besides, the producer is not stupid. He couldn't find out the situation of Si Mingyu's family after searching for a long time. I am a person in the entertainment industry, and you can't do anything to me after I cheated you because we are in different circles.
Under normal circumstances, if you'd increased your investment at the last minute, the worst that could happen would be that I wouldn't invest, and you could go and screw someone else. But this time was different. These scripts were all negotiated by Tang Yan, and she was the one who thought they were worth investing in. But after Si Mingyu agreed to invest, he discovered that the production team was actually trying to screw him over. The film you recommended turned out to be like this. So, are you complicit?
Tang Yan certainly wasn't an accomplice; how could she have dared to cheat Si Mingyu out of his money? But with things now at this point, you're just going to let it go with a single word? Even if the other party was magnanimous and didn't think so, does that mean you're not responsible for the script you chose? So she hoped the investment would go smoothly.
But the producer refused to agree. Since Si Mingyu had proposed sending someone to supervise, this had to be written into the contract. If something inappropriate was found, it could be dealt with according to the law.
Moreover, the producer also realized that there must be a reason why Tang Yan was holding on to his film, so he became even more tough.
This made Tang Yan very angry, and he finally made up his mind not to vote.
Then I called Si Mingyu directly to apologize, saying that I didn't handle the matter carefully and that you can beat me or punish me as you like.
Si Mingyu didn't take it seriously and comforted her with a few words.
