"Okay, Teacher Jiang~" Li Xiaole smiled and took out the outline script of "Let the Bullets Fly" that had been prepared from the drawer, but he felt ecstatic because he understood that no matter how the box office of "The Sun Rises As Always" ended, Jiang Wen was finally interested in talking with him about cooperation. The most important step in the formation of the crew of "Let the Bullets Fly" is being completed.

Two weeks later, although nearly 10 million yuan of publicity expenses were invested, "The Sun Rises As Normal" still did not improve in the box office. The total box office was only over 100,000, which was far from expectations. Although China Film Group only invested 10 million in the early stage, the best publicity expenses of the second studio exceeded 14 million, which is almost certain to become the biggest loss-making film in China Film Investment this year.

As the director of the second studio trusted by Li Xiaole, who made this bad decision, and Jiang Wen, became the target of everyone's common criticism at the group's weekly meeting.

"I really don't understand. Since the box office results are so unsatisfactory, what is the reason for adding a promotional budget? Let's accompany more money?"

"This is definitely the worst project in our group this year. Director Li obviously lacks experience in handling projects."

"It's unreasonable, really unreasonable. Why do art movies use so much money to promote?"

Shi Dongming, Liu Xiaoheng, Fu Guocang and other ten board members spoke one after another, expressing their incomprehension of the investment in this project.

Han Sanpin also felt a little headache when he presided over the group meeting for the first time, but he was silent, as if he was thinking about something. He had just been promoted to the chairman of the group, and his current situation was also very delicate.

In the past, Xie Yang and Yan Jie controlled everything in the group, and the ten members of his board of directors were relatively stable. Now, he, a person with a low foundation, took over as the chairman. The ten directors here are all his predecessors and even teachers. The relationship between the two parties is also in a stage of reconstruction.

Now Yan Jie himself retreated to the second line, Yan Fusheng was investigated by the Commission for Discipline Inspection. Everyone in the group knew that this was a good thing Han Sanpin did. Many people were happy, but more because Yan Jie's old subordinates were resentful, and they hated Han Sanpin for cutting off their financial path and destroying their roots.

At present, for him, Han Sanpin, the most important thing is to stabilize the turbulent people's hearts, and stability is the most important thing.

"Director Li, do you want any report on this project?" Han Sanpin coughed lightly and looked at Li Xiaole in a stern tone.

"No, I just made the decision I thought was right." Li Xiaole looked unrepentant and had no intention of bowing his head.

"Director Li, I remind you that although the second producer now has 180 million production funds, you have the right to allocate them at will, but it does not mean that this is your private property. The loss group of the project must hold you accountable." After Han Sanpin reminded him, he asked Li Xiaole what he meant with his eyes.

The two have a deep relationship, and they can be regarded as a friendship in times of hardship. Of course, Li Xiaole knows what Han is always expressing.

In this situation, everyone in the group knows that they are Han Sanpin's confidant. The most fear is that they have just become chairman Han Sanpin is nepotism. If President Han protects himself here today, it will be a disgusting heart of the others present, so they nodded to Han Sanpin, which means: "President Han, come on, I understand."

"Okay, now I announce that according to the group regulations, the total responsibility for this project loss is to be with Director Li, the evaluation is as bad as the file, and the file is recorded." Han Sanpin said seriously.

Everyone at the scene looked at each other and was surprised. Unexpectedly, Han Sanpin was so cruel and was so merciless to Li Xiaole, whom he relied on the most. He was rated as poorly, which means that Li Xiaole's bonus for the whole year was ruined... This year, he filmed "If You Are the One", and as the producer director, he had a profit commission of 8%... This money is at least 10 million yuan!

The atmosphere at the scene immediately stabilized. Everyone was suppressed by Han Sanpin's iron-fisted policy. Everyone was wondering when they had made a mistake. Han Sanpin's time to do this for him was amazing, and they were much more at peace.

"Hey~ Mr. Han, this is not the case." Jiang Wen, who had been beside him, finally spoke out, stood up and stared at Han Sanpin, and said in his thick voice:

"I'll be honest. I'm forcing him to take out the money for this matter. If you want to deal with it, you should deal with it. I take the advantage of it. I will take the responsibility. I think this matter is unfair."

This statement made the people who were gloating around him anxious, and they all shouted: "Teacher Jiang is not what you said. You are an artist, you are only responsible for art, and the budget is the responsibility of the factory director."

"Teacher Jiang, let me be honest. If you change a factory to release your movie this time, the box office will not be so bad. This is not only a budget issue, but also a lack of experience in Director Li. Young people always make mistakes. You can't take responsibility on yourself. How can young people grow up like that?"

There was also a director who usually didn't like Jiang Wen, who slapped the table and pointed at him and shouted: "Jiang Wen! Is Li Xiaole the factory director or you the factory director! Now we are the factory director accountable! You have no say!"

Seeing the scene in chaos, Li Xiaole quickly pulled Jiang Wen back to the bench. Jiang Wen was reluctant at first, but he felt that Li Xiaole's little hand was extremely powerful and could not twist him. He was pressed back to his seat and could only look at him in surprise.

"Teacher Jiang, always Han is winning people's hearts. If you yell, my money will be fined in vain." Li Xiaole whispered in his ear.

Jiang Wen was stunned for a long time before he realized that Li Xiaole was setting up a stage for Han Sanpin to perform. He did this in a desperate situation. Finally, he looked at him with his head tilted and said in a deep voice:

"This time I, Lao Jiang, owes you what I owe you, I'm sorry to you, I will pay you back in the future." After saying that, he closed his eyes and never said anything again.

No matter what, Li Xiaole lost a huge sum of money for him, Jiang Wen, and the kid looked very willing and well-behaved, which made Jiang Wen feel even worse and more uncomfortable than him. He actually knew in his heart that Li Xiaole was full of colorful things and didn't like such cunning people, but he still couldn't get over it when he was so kind to him.

Li Xiaole saw his performance and smiled in his heart. This is the effect he wanted. Although Jiang Wen is very wise, he is still an art person after all. He doesn't know the financial skills. Han Sanpin was fined him openly. He secretly made many ways to spend money to him. How could a leader of Han Sanpin really suffer a loss?

Moreover, Jiang Wen didn't know that he was not helping him, but actually cheating him... He was the most chasing the issuance funds even though he knew that his movie box office failed. This time he was definitely generous to others. If Jiang Wen knew the truth, he would be amused.

After this small farce, the scene finally became quiet. After Han Sanpin punished Li Xiaole, the meeting was extremely smooth. Han Sanpin also issued various instructions without any scruples, and no one dared to refute it on the spot. At most, he dared not speak out.

The issue soon turned to the next quarter. China Film Group's new projects came up. Each studio proposed its own projects and budget funds, hoping to get the production funds issued this year.

"Last year and this year, the film market has improved, and the leaders of the bureau have greatly strengthened the support for our group's local films. "Shaanhe Feng" directed by Feng Feng and "Smart People's Confused Things" directed by Li Yongjian, we think it can be filmed, and the funding must be in place in time..."

Han Sanpin announced news that made everyone happy one by one, making everyone feel that although Mr. Xie and Mr. Yan are gone, the group is still moving upward.

But although everyone was happy, they looked at Li Xiaole at the same time, curious about what Li Fengnan will film in the next quarter. A 300 million-yuan box office "If You Are the One" has given him enough capital to make greater demands. Will he shoot a big-produced movie this time?

"This time, the project applied for by the Second Studio is "Let the Bullets Fly", and the model adopts the factory director's responsibility system..."

When Han Sanpin was thinking about this project proposal, he looked up at Li Xiaole. The stiff face clearly showed the surging inside from the tips of his eyebrows, the bottom of his eyes to the corners of his mouth.

"Mr. Han..." Han Xiaoli was stunned when he saw him and gently reminded him. Everyone on the conference table looked at him and waited for the words behind him.

Han Sanpin reacted, coughed dryly to hide his embarrassment, and then read: "The project applied for by the second studio is "Let the Bullets Fly". The model adopts the factory director's responsibility system. Director Li Xiaole's investment amount for this project production is 110 million yuan, and all adopts the factory director's personal financing model."

"One hundred million..." Everyone present was stunned, and then they fell into silence.

The so-called factory director responsibility system means that the studio cooperates with the group through independent production institutions, and the studio director raises funds and produces movies by himself. China Film Group is responsible for issuing the theaters and taxes, and divides the share in a 3:7 share. In the end, the share ratio of the factory manager is 37% of the total box office.

According to the regulations of China Film Group, the top-level A-level production is within the range of 0 million to 50 million. For example, the production fee of "If You Are the One" is 45 million, which is an unprecedented large production.

110 million yuan in production fees... So that means that this factory director Xiao Li has to bear the box office risk alone? No... Not only Li Xiaole has to bear the risks, but the group itself also has to bear the risks in distribution. Now Li Xiaole is the factory director of the second production and has the right to apply for the highest specifications of Class A distribution specifications. The cap of Class A specifications is 40 million issuance funds.

In this way, the total investment is 150 million, and the box office will cost at least 300 million to recover the investment. Although according to the history of "If You Are the One", this is not a goal that you are eager to achieve, but the theme of this movie is indeed a Western film in the Republic of China, which has never been seen in mainland movies, no one can predict the audience's response to this film. This is simply a gambling...

"Okay, Teacher Jiang~" Li Xiaole smiled and took out the outline script of "Let the Bullets Fly" that had been prepared from the drawer, but he felt ecstatic because he understood that no matter how the box office of "The Sun Rises As Always" ended, Jiang Wen was finally interested in talking with him about cooperation.
