Mingdai hung up the phone and walked towards Yan Jiaxue.

"Director, are you calling me?" Didn't she have a part in the scene?

Yan Jiaxue held his cell phone and scratched his head irritably: "Investors may come to the set later, so I'll let you know in advance."

"Investor?" The confused Mingdai caught a glimpse of the complicated emotions on Yan Jiaxue's face and suddenly had an idea, "Is there something wrong with this investor?"

Yan Jiaxue was shocked at first, thinking that the news had been leaked somewhere.

But seeing Mingdai's inquiring eyes, she realized that Mingdai was probably just guessing, and immediately waved her hands with a forced smile:

"What's the problem? This investor is well-known in the industry, a super rich man! Investing in our small crew of less than 100 million is just a matter of chance!"

The more relaxed Yan Jiaxue spoke, the more suspicious Mingdai became.

I didn't notice it before because I wasn't paying attention, but now that I think about it carefully, I feel that something is wrong more and more:

"No, Sister Bai didn't come to the set for two days. Before, she would come to the set every day and stare at it. This is unreasonable."

Mingdai's tone was not a question, but an affirmation.

Even Yan Jiaxue had to worry about Mingdai's excessive sensitivity, which made him unable to hide even if he wanted to.

I had to insist on saying: "It's okay! It's really okay! Don't worry!"

Mingdai put on a stern face: "Director Yan! We are all part of the crew. If you have any problems, let's talk about it. Can't we all solve it together?"

Yan Jiaxue didn't have so many twists and turns in his mind, and subconsciously replied: "If you say it, it won't disturb the morale of the army... eh!"

Ming Dai knows it!

"Then tell me, okay? Don't you still have my investment in this movie?"

When discussing salary for this movie, Ming Dai received salary + dividends.

At that time, Mingdai had received several remunerations from commercial promotions and had some spare money, so she simply invested all the millions in the movie. With the box office dividend she negotiated, Mingdai now owns a total of 5% of the box office.

In terms of dividends, he is more or less a small shareholder of "Twin Lotus".

It's just that the news was tightly covered, and no one else knew about it except for a few senior officials such as Yan Jiaxue and Baige.

Therefore, when Ming Dai mentioned box office dividends, even Yan Jiaxue couldn't say no.

He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then sighed and said:

"Then I tell you, don't tell others for now."

"Don't worry, I won't tell you."

"Isn't the total investment in our movie 70 million? Only 10 million of it was invested by me, you, and a few other small shareholders. The remaining 60 million was invested by an investor named Wang Lei. This

Wang Lei is a wealthy man whom Baige worked hard to attract. He is very famous in the industry and has been included in many film investment projects."

Having said this, Yan Jiaxue also mentioned the other film investment projects of the investor named Wang, all of which are successful films that are well-known to the public, which is enough to show the unique vision of the investor Wang Lei.

Therefore, Yan Jiaxue and Bai Ge have always been very relieved and have never thought about any problems.

Mingdai: "...Is there a problem now?"

Yan Jiaxue ruffled his hair in frustration: "Isn't the investment money divided into batches? The original plan was to give 20 million in the early stage, 30 million during the filming, and the last 10 million will be given during the publicity period... Now the crew is preparing, machinery and equipment

, the expenses such as prepayment of salary have almost spent the 20 million received. According to time, it is time to pay the 30 million in the mid-term, but there has been no movement from the investors."

Yan Jiaxue thought that the film would encounter many difficulties, but the difficulties he imagined would occur after the film was shot and before it was released. Even if there would be negative reviews in the early stages of release, he was fully prepared!

But he never thought that now that the filming had just begun, the good crew would be ruined!

After Mingdai heard this, she also realized the seriousness of it.

"Is there something wrong with the investors' funds?"

"Baige and I were also suspicious, but Baige didn't find out anything in the past two days. On the contrary, the investor suddenly said today that he would come to the set to see and give the 30 million. And I always felt that if he came,

I didn’t have any good intentions on this trip.”

The difficulties Yan Jiaxue has encountered recently are not as simple as can be summarized in a few words today.

Seeing that funds are stretched thin, the attitude of the investors is unclear, and they always seem to be deliberately hanging on Qiao. Even now that he has said that he will come to the set to inspect in person, Yan Jiaxue still cannot feel at ease.

But seeing Ming Dai frowning slightly and looking worried, Yan Jiaxue didn't want her to worry.

So he deliberately said in a relaxed tone: "It's really because of my lack of experience that I don't know that eggs can't be put in one basket! Don't worry, I'll let Baige contact other investors in the next two days. We can't always let the initiative rest in our hands."

In one person’s hands, right?”

Mingdai knew it was not that simple.

She was not really eighteen years old. She had been in the entertainment industry for ten years in her previous life. Mingdai had also seen a lot of good and bad relationships. For example, in the middle of filming a drama, there were many investors who simply defaulted on the contract and ran away.

After all, film and television projects are known as "nine losses and one profit", which means that out of ten projects, nine are losses and only one is profitable. Some investors will stop in time when they are not satisfied with the filming progress and are worried about losing money.

Reduce sunk costs.

Mingdai thought that for Yan Jiaxue, compared with the investor's capital chain being broken and no money to continue investing, the investor's temporary decision to withdraw the investment due to unfavorability would probably be a bigger blow!

I just don’t know what investor Wang Lei thinks.

So Mingdai also concealed her worries and deliberately said in a relaxed tone:

"Well, at worst, I asked Sister Su to suggest that Weilan Entertainment participate in investment. Wouldn't everyone call me the little princess of Weilan?"

Everyone knows that Weilan attaches great importance to Mingdai, a rising star, and strongly advocates Mingdai as the future flagship of Weilan. It is really not difficult to invest tens of millions to make a movie for Mingdai.

But correspondingly, Ming Dai will definitely lose her current freedom to take on roles, and the company will become more strongly involved in her career planning.

Yan Jiaxue also understood the rules behind them, but no one revealed them.

Yan Jiaxue raised his eyebrows: "Then I might have to rely on you, little princess, in the future!"

Mingdai put her hands behind her back and held up her chest proudly: "It's easy to say! It's easy to say!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, and their worries about investment seemed to disappear.

In the afternoon, Mingdai finally met this mysterious investor, who is said to be Wang Lei, a well-known rich man in the industry!

The man looks to be in his forties, has tan skin, is slightly chubby, smiles like Maitreya, and seems to believe in Buddhism. He has precious small-leaf rosewood beads on his neck and hands, and he is playing with two Wenwan walnuts in his palms.

Speak slowly and slowly when you are angry.
