Shi Xi was very happy to learn that the proposal had been approved.
Finally, I can make the movie I want to make!!
Han Chuan was also in a good mood and asked Shi Xi who she wanted to play the male lead.
Shi Xi answered without hesitation: "Chu Yuan!"
Upon hearing this name, Han Chuan's face stiffened.
Shi Xi blinked, "Is it not allowed? Don't worry, Brother Han, I will never have any rumors with him. I just think he's suitable for this role!"
"That's not what I'm worried about," Han Chuan said, rubbing his temples. "We only have fifty million in funds."
Shi Xi nodded.
She knows.
Han Chuan asked, "What do you think Chu Yuan's salary is?"
Oh wow!
Han Chuan then asked, "Do you think we can afford to hire Chu Yuan?"
Shi Xi shook her head weakly.
To get Chu Yuan to act in this obscure film, it would cost at least ten or eight million...
Han Chuan said, "The 50 million will mainly be used for film production. As for casting, we can only use artists from Kuai Xue, or we can recruit some newcomers."
Hearing this, Shi Xi resigned herself to her fate and said, "Alright, let's hire a male lead."
Han Chuan: "There are many good new generation actors. Maybe we can produce a Best Actor."
Shi Xi agreed, saying, "Maybe we can produce a Best Actress."
Han Chuan glanced at Shi Xi, "I'll go ask about the progress of the funding."
Now that the proposal has been approved, the money should be available soon.
Why is there still no movement?
Shi Xi stopped worrying about money and started reviewing her script, contacting the director and screenwriter to improve it.
At the same time, we need to contact the casting committee.
Shi Xi used to only work as an actress, and she felt that filming was tiring enough.
When Shi Xi assembled her own team, she realized how arduous the behind-the-scenes work was.
Even the preliminary preparations were extremely difficult.
Especially when you're broke.
That's really bad, nothing's going right!
At first, Shi Xi didn't pay any attention.
Kuai Xue already had some money, and Shi Xi was also quite wealthy, so they covered the difference.
However, when it came time to prepare personnel and venues, the financial department delayed allocating funds, and even previous reimbursements were stuck for a long time.
When you call to ask, you always get the same answer: "It's in the process."
finally.
At the dinner table, Shi Xi couldn't help but say, "They promised to allocate 50 million, but I haven't even seen 5 million yet."
Shi Xu said, "Wasn't the money already allocated?"
“But they only give tens or hundreds of thousands each time, and they keep dragging it out.” Shi Xi pressed down on the rice with a spoon and said, “Doing it this way is too inefficient!”
"The financial department has two methods of allocating funds: one-time allocation and phased allocation," Ning Yu said calmly. "To prevent subsidiaries from absconding with funds, we are currently using the phased allocation model."
"Isn't this batching too detailed?" Shi Xi complained. "It's been half a month, and we still can't recruit enough people or set up the venue."
Shi Xu said, "Isn't that a campus drama? Can't you just rent the school directly?"
Shi Xi: "We don't have the money! For projects exceeding 200,000, the finance department takes several days to review them, and then says they are not in compliance with regulations and makes us reapply."
"Is it really that complicated?" Mr. Shi asked doubtfully. "I remember that every time I applied for a million, the funds were disbursed very quickly!"
"It must be Xu Ziqing who blocked my approval!" Shi Xi whispered.
Xu Ziqing didn't like her to begin with, and now that she has a way to get back at her, she definitely won't let her have her way.
"I'll urge them tomorrow." Shi Xu put a big chicken leg on Shi Xi's plate. "Don't be angry."
