Inside Luo Chen's office.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Luo Chen took in Gong Xing's expression, his own expression dark and unreadable.
The person on the other end of the phone smiled and flattered, "Mr. Luo, I heard you've been investing in movies lately. Would you be interested in collaborating with us?"
The vice chairman of Minyue Group is named Qi Jianye. He is now over fifty years old and is a well-known director in the industry.
Luo Chen said coldly, "I already have an investment plan in mind."
Gong Xing, sitting opposite him, straightened his back, leaned forward slightly, and strained his ears to try and reach towards Luo Chen.
When Xiaoyouzi saw that he had two fingers tightly intertwined and his face was stern and very serious, it was clear that he was on high alert.
Seemingly noticing Xiaoyouzi's gaze, Gong Xing licked his dry lips and sat up straight.
Seeing this, Luo Chen turned on the speakerphone.
Qi Jianye's malicious voice came through the phone: "You mean that 'Phoenix'? That script isn't good enough. How about investing in our 'Flying Heroine'?"
"Commercial films, well-known directors, big stars, direct and effective publicity, high traffic, and high returns."
Upon hearing this, Gong Xing could hardly sit still.
But he suppressed his unhappiness and forced himself to sit down.
The fact that Mr. Luo was willing to turn on the speakerphone proves that he had no intention of hiding anything from me.
Stay calm.
Xiao Youzi raised an eyebrow and continued listening to Qi Jianye's nonsense: "President Luo is a businessman, there's no need for him to turn down money, right?"
"Besides, the director of 'Phoenix' is also an unknown person."
Luo Chen glanced at it and said directly, "I prefer something a little niche."
"The thing I have in abundance is money."
Upon hearing this, Qi Jianye on the other end of the phone twitched his lips violently.
Yes, yes, everyone knows that the Rockefeller Group has assets all over the world and spends money like water.
Gong Xing is really lucky; even at his age, he still has the opportunity to come into contact with the Luo family.
But Qi Jianye has no intention of giving Gong Xing a chance to turn things around.
Qi Jianye flattered, "I know President Luo is not short of money, but as far as I know, the production cost of 'Phoenix' is very high, and the promotion will cost another amount of money. It's better to use our 'Flying Heroine'. The comic is already very popular, and you can make a good profit no matter how you film it."
"No need, Mr. Qi, please find someone else." Luo Chen refused decisively.
Qi Jianye stared at his phone, which was stuck on a busy signal, and slammed his hand on the table.
The assistant next to him was startled, and then heard Qi Jianye say fiercely, "Gong Xing, I will never let you turn things around!"
After the call ended, Gong Xing looked at Luo Chen with a hesitant expression.
Luo Chen noticed and raised an eyebrow, asking, "Director Gong, is there anything you'd like to say?"
"Thank you, Mr. Luo." Gong Xing knew that Luo Chen refused because of him.
He still had many questions he wanted to ask, but after thinking about it, he decided to keep quiet.
"Hmm." Luo Chen nodded indifferently.
Gong Xing stood up and said awkwardly, "Then I have nothing else to say. Goodbye, President Luo."
"Looking forward to your performance." (Reading)
With Luo Chen's words, Gong Xing felt full of confidence.
At that moment, Kshia knocked on the door and came in with two contracts.
When the contract arrived, Gong Xing felt a slight tremor run through his body.
It's excitement.
He suppressed his excitement and carefully examined the contract.
Three hundred million!
That's a real 300 million!
While signing the contract, Gong Xing said, "President Luo, special effects are very expensive, so I plan to spend 200 million on them."
"You decide what to do."
After a pause, Gong Xing said, "The problem is with special effects. They're expensive, and we can't find anyone with good technical skills."
Luo Chen waved his hand dismissively: "Let nature take its course, let's decide on the person first."
After Gong Xing left in a good mood with the contract, Xiao Youzi rushed into Luo Chen's arms.
She poked Luo Chen's chest with her finger, her tone rising with a hint of teasing: "Brother, something's not right with you!"
"What's wrong?" Luo Chen asked with a low laugh as he looked at Xiao Youzi.
Little Yuzu looked at Luo Chen with a suspicious look in her eyes: "I feel like your behavior towards Uncle Gong is a bit off."
"So what do you think we should do?" Luo Chen looked at Xiao Youzi with a leisurely air.
Frowning, Xiaoyouzi couldn't say, "Anyway, that's not how it is. Do you like Uncle Gong?"
"Actually, I really admire director Gong Xing. I've watched his debut film many times," Luo Chen said, his eyes full of admiration.
Little Yuzu immediately understood what Luo Chen meant: "So, brother, the director uncle is your idol, right?"
"I guess so, I quite admire it."
Luo Chen didn't show much emotion; being able to appreciate it was already considered liking him.
Little Yuzu smiled and continued, "Then why didn't you just tell him you like him today? When he asked you why..."
This made Gong Xing extremely nervous.
They were terrified of losing Luo Chen as their sponsor.
Luo Chen pursed his lips and said, "I'm afraid he'll think I'm helping him because I admire him, rather than because I genuinely like the script."
"Although he looks down on his luck, he has his own principles and pride." This is one of the reasons why Luo Chen admires him.
Having been suppressed for decades, he would rather work on a construction site than make bad movies.
Little Yuzu blinked, her beautiful grape-like eyes looking at Luo Chen's handsome face: "Then, brother, why did you vote for him?"
She had just heard it too; the vice chairman of Minyue invited him to invest in commercial films with higher commercial value.
Fantasy films like "Phoenix" have no future.
"First of all, his script is indeed very interesting, and the setting is also very novel."
"Secondly, I really admire him and I trust him."
"In the end, I have plenty of money."
Luo Chen's three reasons all sounded quite serious.
Little Yuzu looked down at the information she had found on Baidu: "Brother, the special effects technology in China isn't that advanced. The director mentioned that when he was chatting with you earlier."
Luo Chen shrugged and said, "It doesn't matter. I'll ask someone for help to achieve the best results."
Creating 3D effects and special effects are very expensive things to do in movies.
To achieve the perfect results, you can't skimp on money.
Little Yuzu asked curiously, "Even if the investment costs are high, and you lose money, don't you care, brother?"
Master Qi once said that business is business, and talking about feelings is a very costly thing.
Luo Chen's reaction was quite calm: "All investments carry risks."
"High risk means high reward, but I really don't expect any reward. If I lose money, so be it," Luo Chen chuckled.
For the first time, her brother admired someone so much, and Xiaoyouzi stopped talking.
Her brother thinks highly of this director, and she also thinks he'll be a hit.
"Big brother, can I put money into this movie?" Little Yuzu rubbed her hands together expectantly, waiting for Luo Chen's answer...
