Chapter four hundred and seventy-ninth take over

Wu Yushen had nothing to say. No matter how brilliant he had had in the past, he had no say in front of capital. Thinking of the upcoming "The Wheel of Ping" Wu Yushen felt heartbroken. When he was preparing for this project, he was ambitious and wanted to make an epic movie, but his feelings were not worth mentioning in the face of reality.

Maybe he is really old and it is time to consider saying goodbye to the film industry, but he doesn't want to say goodbye in this way. He has been making movies all his life, at least he wants to remain decent, and he also wants to put a perfect end to his artistic career.

"Director Wu!"

Wu Yu looked in the voice and found that Zhang Hehuan had not walked away.

Wu Yushen nodded to him. He just heard in the office that Zhang Hehuan intends to accept "The Wheel of Taiping" and hope it will come true.

Zhang Hehuan said: "If you add 100 million, is there any hope of finishing the Taiping Wheel?"

Wu Yu thought deeply and said, "The cost of making this movie is the special effects and set. Mr. Li insisted on using the world's top special effects during his lifetime, so he found a way to invite the special effects team of "Titanic". The 3D special effects of this movie are the responsibility of the special effects team of "Pi's Fantasy Drift".

"As far as I know, the money in this regard has been basically paid."

Wu Yushen said: "The pay also accounts for a large part of it." He didn't want to continue to talk deeper, after all, Zhang Hehuan just proposed to take over the project...

Zhang Hehuan said: "Director Wu, let's go to the opposite side for tea and chat, and wait for Mr. Guo by the way."

Wu Yushen hesitated for a moment, and Zhang Hehuan said, "Maybe I can successfully take over this project, let's go."

Only Jin Yan and Guo Kaige were left in the office. Jin Yan said, "Mr. Guo, no wonder you brought people here. No wonder you were unwilling to invest additionally. It turns out that you had a plan."

Guo Kaige said laughing and crying: "I really don't know about this. Yes, I introduced Zhang Hehuan to Li Ming before, and it was also because of the "Taiping Wheel". The project is too big and the risk is too high. No one is willing to invest. You should understand the situation."

"I don't understand!"

"Okay, just pretend you don't understand. The movie was expected to invest 200 million. I invested 50 million, Li Ming invested 100 million, and there were 50 million that others invested."

Jin Yan said: "The budget is 200 million yuan, and now it has exceeded 60 million yuan. The movie has only been half made, and the subsequent movie will cost 15 million yuan. It may not be enough. I don't know how Director Wu made a movie. Can investors spend money as much as they want?"

Guo Kaige said: "I have to say fairness about this. Director Wu just now didn't have the nerve to say that I have a copy of the original plan. If you want to see it, I will pass it on to you. The initial special effects team was planning to use the domestic team. Li Ming insisted on using the world's top special effects team, and the Taiping wheel. Originally, Director Wu meant to use the model, and Li Ming insisted on copying 1:1, and those scenes were all money. In fact, many things can be completed later using green screen and computers."

Jin Yan said: "You can say whatever you want if Li Mingren is gone."

Guo Kaige said: "I guarantee my personality that I will not lie. Li Ming is my good friend. You should know, so I followed up with 60 million yuan. When I held an investor meeting, I encountered opposition from most people. Although I did not publicly oppose it, I did not invest additionally. Other investors also felt that there were problems with this project in risk control, so they only took out 10 million yuan in total, and the remaining 50 million was invested by Li Ming."

Jin Yan stopped talking, and she opposed it at that time, but Li Ming was very optimistic about listing, believing that as long as the company went public successfully, all problems would be solved. However, the company had problems in the listing process. Even if Li Ming did not die suddenly, the crisis faced by the company would sooner or later break out.

After a while, Jin Yan said, "What do you think about this movie?"

Guo Kaige said: "If Xinxingyuan wins this project, I will invest additionally. If you refuse to transfer, I will not continue to invest. The 50 million I invested before will be considered a waste of money."

Jin Yan stared at Guo Kaige: "You are so confident in him?"

Guo Kaige nodded.

Jin Yan sighed and closed her eyes. She could no longer afford to bet. She regretted that she had just said in front of Zhang Hehuan that she wanted to transfer the investment share to Guo Kaige for 20% off. After considering it for a while, she said: "Mr. Guo, tell him, 10% off."

Guo Kaige said: "He won't agree. I know him very well, and the 20% discount price is also fair to you. This project will only rot if it continues to remain in your hands, and no one else will take over it. I dare say that only Zhang Hehuan can revitalize this project in China."

Jin Yan mocked, "Li Ming is having a relationship with your friend, you don't care about him at all."

Guo Kaige doesn't think he is sorry for Li Ming: "Jin Yan, I'll tell you a brief moment. Even if you give me a 50% discount on the share, I won't want it. If you don't believe it, you can ask what others mean."

Jin Yan bit her lip. She knew that Guo Kaige was telling the truth. This is not a complete project. No matter who accepts it, the problem of subsequent investment must be solved. Zhang Hehuan spent 120 million yuan, and with the subsequent investment, the total investment was close to 300 million yuan.

Her cell phone rang again. It was Huang Xiaoming's call. Jin Yan didn't answer it. Calling at this time is definitely not just to comfort her, the vassal.

Jin Yan finally made up her mind: "You tell him for help, I agree."

Guo Kaige said: "As Li Ming's friend, I can also give you a suggestion. If possible, you can retain a part of your investment share, and you may have surprises."

Jin Yan shook her head. She didn't have such confidence in Zhang Hehuan: "It's 120 million yuan, I ask that the account must be received within a week."

Guo Kaige appeared in the teahouse and saw Wu Yushen with a sad face. He said hello: "Director Wu is here too, just talk about the movie."

Zhang Hehuan said: "Did she agree?"

Guo Kaige nodded and said, "I agree. You can sign a transfer agreement at any time, requiring that the money must be received within three days."

Zhang Hehuan said: "Mu Xichun has come here and can meet her in the afternoon. She is responsible for the specific agreement. After signing the contract today, the money will be deposited tomorrow."

Guo Kaige was surprised at Zhang Hehuan's efficiency: "Are you so sure she will agree?"

Zhang Hehuan said: "She has no choice, the price I give her is fair."

Guo Kaige said: "No one except you will give such a high price."

Wu Yushen fully understood that the young man in front of him took over the project of "Taiping Wheel". Although he didn't know Zhang Hehuan, it was always a good thing that someone took over the project, at least he could finish the movie.

Zhang Hehuan said: "Mr. Guo, if you quit now, I will give you a 20% discount."

Guo Kaige laughed: "I plan to spend half of the follow-up investment."

Zhang Hehuan looked at Guo Kaige, and the two of them laughed at the same time. This was a tacit understanding of each other.

Zhang Hehuan said: "There is still 60 million foreign investment. Mr. Guo, please call them to a meeting. If you want to withdraw now, I will take over."

Guo Kaige nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know what to do." He picked up the teacup and drank the tea and said, "It smells so good!"

Wu Yushen finally found an opportunity to speak: "Kaige, what do you mean is that Xiaoma Pictures transferred the share of this project to Mr. Zhang?" i

Zhang Hehuan reached out to Wu Yushen: "Director Wu, I look forward to our happy cooperation."

Wu Yushen shook hands with him, and for a moment he felt mixed emotions: "Mr. Zhang..."

"You'd better call me Hehuanzai."

"Hey, Hehuanzi, will you continue to invest in the film?"

"Otherwise? I can't spend so much to make the movie end?"

Wu Yu said with deep relief: "It's great. Now several major actors in the crew have asked for a full payment, otherwise they will refuse to fulfill the contract."

Zhang Hehuan said: "Director Wu, leave these things to me. You can continue shooting, and I will solve other things."

Wu Yu thought deeply about how to continue shooting? The crew is almost the same as the suspension of work. Several big names have stopped acting. At present, they can only shoot a group show. But after all, Zhang Hehuan just took over this project, so she can't ask for money now. The other person hasn't finished the handover. He feels a little distressed and has to waste a lot of money these days.

Of course, Zhang Hehuan knew that time is money, so he asked Mu Xichun to come over and get the transfer contract as soon as possible to make a smooth handover.

Guo Kaige also summoned other investors of the movie on the same day to inform them that Xiaoma Pictures had decided to transfer the project to Xinxingyuan. Not everyone has confidence in Zhang Hehuan like him, and no one wants to waste time in this ill-fated project. After some bargaining, Guo Kaige won the investment of others at a 15% discount. In this way, Guo Kaige's total investment in this movie also reached 100 million, and actually had a share of 110 million.

Xinxingyuan has a share of 150 million, but in fact, the total investment of the two companies is 220 million, which is equivalent to taking over the project with an investment of 260 million.

Next, Zhang Hehuan started to think about paying several celebrities because Zhang Ziyi had not yet officially joined the group. According to the contract, she has received a 10% advance payment and paid 70% before joining the group.

Zhang Ziyi's team threatened them to terminate the contract without seeking 70% of the salary, but Zhang Hehuan went with the flow.

Wu Yushen thought that after the new star field accepted the project, he would have a turnaround, but he didn't expect that the main actors would terminate the contract one after another. Zhang Ziyi, Huang Xiaoming, and Tong David all proposed to terminate the contract. In this regard, the three foreign actors reported it a little slower, and it is estimated that it will not take long before they will attack the crew.
