Chapter Three Hundred and Fortieth: Everyone Has Ambition
Two days later, Nanjing Entertainment.
"Fang Jing, what do you want from me this time? Let's agree first that we must distribute this year's year-end dividend. You don't know, but my family is almost in trouble."
Sitting opposite Fang Jing, Xu Shi was pouring out his bitterness and chattering like a resentful woman in a deep palace.
Nanjing has been established for several years. In the first year, Fang Jing was almost the supporter, and it was only this year that it really started to make a lot of money.
Xu Shi's current savings are not as large as those of his employees, and he will not be able to pay the rent without dividends.
"It's my fault for not thinking carefully about this matter, but don't you usually take it from the account yourself? There's nothing wrong with it if it's 1.8 million. If it's not enough, you can tell me."
"It's public or private." Xu Shi shook his head, "You trusted me and handed over the management of the company to me. I can't do that kind of thing."
"Don't wait until the end of the year. I'll take the two million from my account later and use it first. I'll treat it as my year-end bonus in advance."
Fang Jing then remembered that he had made tens of millions of donations outside, but his family was still hungry. He usually worked as a hands-off shopkeeper and didn't pay enough attention to Xu Shi.
"Understood! Tell me, why are you looking for me? You usually go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and you won't even stop by when passing by."
"That's true. Am I that lazy?" Fang Jing smiled and handed the information in his hand to Xu Shi.
"Wolf Warrior 2, I want to vote for this movie, how about you watch it?"
"One hundred million! Is it such a big deal?"
Looking at the numbers above, Xu Shi was surprised. He kept scrolling and found that the terms, plans, and shooting conditions were all complete.
"Meeted Wu Jing? How was the conversation?"
"We've negotiated, this is the final price, and everyone has no objections."
Taking a deep breath, Xu Shi put down the information and frowned: "Since you have already discussed it, why are you showing it to me?"
Fang Jing smiled playfully, "You also have a share in the company. This is not a small amount of money. I must let you know."
"So you just finish the matter first and come over to inform me at the end?" Holding back his anger, Xu Shi looked gloomy and said, "Fang Jing, I know you have great vision, but can you inform me in advance for such a big project? Let's discuss it together.
Isn’t it bad?”
For a long time, the overall direction of the company has been controlled by Fang Jing, and Xu Shi felt that his position was that of an executor.
Although Fang Jing's decision proved to be correct in the end, Xu Shi was still a little unhappy.
On the surface, he is the CEO of the company, but no CEO is like him. He is not qualified to participate in projects worth over 100 million yuan.
"I'm sorry! It's my fault!" After a moment of silence, Fang Jing apologized, "It was decided just the day before yesterday. Wu Jing came to me temporarily because he was anxious."
After several years of working together, it was the first time I saw Xu Shi getting angry. After thinking about it, I realized that he really wasn't doing a good job in this matter.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this. I will keep the information and study it carefully with the team later. I will give you an answer in the next two days."
"Yeah! Let me know as soon as you get it done. We haven't gotten together for a long time. Do you want to have dinner later?"
"Okay, let's go now!"
Sighing, Xu Shi picked up his coat and walked ahead.
Taking this opportunity, he had to explain some things clearly to Fang Jing, otherwise the company would be over sooner or later.
In a local restaurant, two people were drinking one glass at a time.
"Old Xu, I'll apologize to you for this glass of wine. I didn't care about your feelings about the Wolf Warriors. Such a big matter should really be discussed together by everyone."
"Forget it, please pay attention next time. Let me explain first. I don't want much power, but I at least have the right to know about some things. Even if you call me when we talk, it will be fine."
"Don't ask me for money after everything is done. What's the difference between me and the accountant? Isn't this boss the same person?"
"Yes, yes, I'm wrong, I'll toast you again!!"
"Yeah! Let's forget about this. Have you ever done Wolf Warrior's job? Do you understand why they withdrew their capital and how risky it is? Don't be cheated and help count the money."
"Don't worry about this. I know the reason for withdrawing capital. It's hard to tell the Central Plains. I'll tell you later. There are definitely risks, but you won't lose money if you invest. I guarantee it."
…
A week later, Wu Jing left with the first phase of Nanjing’s 20 million yuan satisfied.
Fang Jing was not stupid, how could he get all the money at once? He paid it in several batches, and Wu Jing had to have a bottom line for all expenses.
If something happens midway and the crew cannot continue filming due to natural or man-made disasters, he will lose less.
"Teacher Huang, the food has been good lately!"
"Brother Bo, are you not going to be the host this time?"
At the Charity Harper's Bazaar Gala, Fang Jing signed autographs on the background wall. As soon as he entered the venue, he saw Huang Lei and Huang Bo not far away.
This year he made a big splash, donating tens of millions without blinking an eye. In addition, the organizer specially invited him as the final payment from Xiangnan Satellite TV's recent buyout of Swordsman.
The day after tomorrow is the day when "Swordsman" will be broadcast, it will be synchronized online, and the platform is Tencent Video. Brother Ma spent a lot of money and spent 170 million to buy the online broadcast rights.
Including the 230 million from Shonan Satellite TV, the drama sold a total of 400 million. Leaving aside the 100 million production cost, the company earned 300 million. After tax, there are still 250 million left for miscellaneous publicity and expenses.
"Fang Dahu is here, sit down quickly!!"
Huang Bo pulled out his chair and asked Fang Jing to sit aside.
"Hello, brother Fang Jing!"
There was another person on the table, the little sheep Zhang Yixing. He was lowering his head to answer the phone just now, but Fang Jing didn't recognize him yet.
"You are so happy!"
Because of the extreme challenge, Zhang Yixing is very popular now, with constant endorsements, and there is a vague trend of entering the front line.
In addition to singing and dancing, he has recently been involved in film and television, cooperating with some big names, very similar to Fang Jingluzi.
"Are you very free recently? Fang Jing? I heard that your schedule is full, how come you still have time to come here?" Huang Lei asked while eating an orange on the table without ceremony.
"Isn't that because I'm short of money? I'm busy, but now I'm not busy and I'm naturally wandering around."
When Fang Jing saw him last year, he was still a thin uncle, but this year he became a fat and greasy uncle.
Following Huang Lei's example, Fang Jing grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the plate, cracked them and threw them into his pocket.
There are so many media at the scene. If you throw it on the ground, you will be scolded, and if you throw it on the table, it is indecent.
"Yes, I heard from He Ling that your company Xiaoao sells a lot. Now that you have money, do you plan to donate tens of millions?"
Fang Jing shook his head and chuckled, but did not answer the topic.
His two foundations spend a lot of money every month. Although most of them rely on donations from caring people in society, sometimes he has to pay for them out of his own pocket when the money is not enough.
Thirty-five thousand and fifty thousand at one time, one hundred and eighty thousand, and several million in a year.
It was Yang Ning who drove him here. A donation of three to five hundred thousand would be nice.
Besides, it’s unclear whether the money collected will reach those in need.
"Fang Jing, I have a new play recently. Do you want to consider casting it?"
Huang Bo turned his head and said with a smile.
"Isn't Teacher Huang here? Why don't you ask him to surrender?"
"If someone else had directed it, I would have voted for it." Huang Lei rolled his eyes, "But this time he is the director. Do you think I dare to vote for it?"
Huang Bo's box office appeal is still very strong, and movies with him in them can't lose.
But strong acting does not mean strong directing. This industry is very deep. Huang Bo has never directed before and has no experience at all. It would be strange for Huang Lei to dare to cast.
