my crew is not human

Chapter 16
The call was connected, and Ren Zhi's crying sounded: "Brother, you really have to help me this time!"

"How much do you want to borrow?" Li Xianyun knew what he was going to do as soon as he heard his cry.

"It's not a loan, but the investor has found it."

"Huh? What's going on?" Li Xianyun was surprised.

Ren Zhi began to complain.

The investor also knew about the original case.

When the police want to handle the case, they naturally have to investigate all aspects, so the investor also received a call.

As soon as they heard that the production team encountered a murder case, which paralyzed the filming progress, the management immediately panicked.

He directly sent someone over to order Ren Zhi to deal with the matter, and asked the crew not to stop no matter what.

Hearing this, Li Xianyun said: "The case has been settled, and your crew is fine, so you can still shoot your film. At most, you can't use that house. Can't you just rent another venue and continue filming?"

"But the problem is that Rong Dasheng and the others quit!" Ren Zhi said helplessly.

The production crew is actually a very superstitious place. Many people believe in ghosts and gods, and there are various taboos.

One of the most typical ones is that anyone who plays a dead person, no matter how much the film is paid, must give a red envelope after the performance.

Anyway, as long as you can get red envelopes, you can believe in earthworms, let alone ghosts and gods.

It's bad luck to play a dead person with a red envelope, but if you really meet a dead person, what will be the result?
So as soon as the old house incident came out, everyone felt that the crew was unlucky, and many people retreated.

Knowing this, Li Xianyun said sternly: "They all signed the contract, can you refund it if you say it? Even if you want to refund it, you have to return the money you got before, right?"

Ren Zhi said helplessly: "It's only a small amount of money in total, and there are tens of thousands of things to share with each person. I can't go to the lawsuit one by one, right? Besides, if I win, I will have to return part of the wages. Before that What about the venue rental fee? What about the equipment rental fee? Transportation, accommodation, three meals a day, and the cost of props and art? Who do I go to get back? If people run away, the play has to be completed. But if the actor changes, the machine has to be restarted , none of the original shots can be used, all have to be re-shot, and all the money spent before will be wasted.”

"What did the management say?" Li Xianyun asked.

"They didn't care about it. They said it was all left to me, and I was responsible for any problems. I am responsible!" Ren Zhi was about to cry.

This is the most feared situation in the middle of filming, and because it is a small crew, everyone is from the bottom, not famous, and there is no need to worry about any influence.You Ren Zhi can sue us if you are capable, and if you lose the lawsuit, you will get back the money you took before.

Are they afraid of a ball?
This kind of thing is common in the circle.Every year, there are a considerable number of film and television dramas that are not finalized; and even if they are completed, they will not be released for various reasons; and even if they are released, there will still be a large number of production losses.

It can be said that the film and television industry is a high-risk and high-return industry. If you succeed, you will get a lot of money, but if you lose, you will lose everything. Therefore, it is popular to invest in a combination of risks, that is, risk diversification, and high returns to balance high risks.

After all, Ren Zhi's years of fighting geese will eventually have a day when he will be pecked at - in order to attract investment, he signed a full responsibility agreement to ensure that the film must be completed!

After all, only with a full responsibility agreement can we confidently let the management not intervene in the affairs of the crew, so that we can make money for ourselves.

It's just that he didn't expect that he couldn't even make a film.

The full responsibility agreement comes into play, just kill yourself!
After thinking about it for a moment, Li Xianyun said: "You take out the money you cheated, and it should still be possible to remake a movie."

"But I really don't have so many, and...they still have to take over the finances." Ren Zhi replied with a bitter face.

Investors are not fools. Although some things are not clear at the beginning, they often come back to them afterwards. Especially after this incident, the investors came to contact them, and they may have discovered that the size of the crew is different from what they knew. Suspicion arose in my heart.

Therefore, it has been clearly requested that people will be sent to monitor the finances next.

In this way, it is difficult to conceal the true expenditure of the crew.

This is the disadvantage of Ren Zhi taking money directly from investors-it is easy to be targeted by investors.

In contrast, some mature companies will obtain investment through a special film and television fund. The biggest advantage of this is: I get money from the fund, which has nothing to do with your investors, and your investors have no right to dictate to me.But the investors went to the fund, and the fund's hands were spread: I was not in charge of making the film, so ask me to do ass.

As soon as the ball is kicked, small money is in hand.

The fund side and the producer side are colluding and cheating money together, which has a high safety factor. Correspondingly, there are more people who share the money, so the cheating is even more ruthless.

So if you really want to invest in movies, try to bypass the fund to do it safely, because you can keep an eye on the finances yourself - staring at the finances cannot guarantee that your film will definitely make money, but at least it can guarantee that the money will be spent in place, but the premise is that you understand a little bit Click OK.

If you don't know how to do it, even if you focus on finances, you can still cheat you!

Now Ren Zhi is in such an embarrassing situation. Investors were fooled by him before and did not send anyone to monitor the finances. Now that he wants to make up for it, he will have to pay out all the money he made before, and he will probably have to pay a sum.

"None of my business." Li Xianyun sneered.

"I have an idea, but I need your help." Ren Zhi said.

Li Xianyun sneered: "I guess it's not a good idea for me."

Ren Zhidao: "You take over this plate, and I am sure to persuade those investors to give up their shares."

Depend on!
Li Xianyun was also drunk.

Do I just look that stupid?Are you catching my sheep?

Ren Zhidao: "You don't need to pay too much. As long as 30, it counts as your 30.00% of the shares."

Li Xianyun scolded angrily: "Get lost!"

Ren Zhi shouted: "Forty, 40.00%! I'll give you my ten-point share!"

Ren Zhi doesn't think he makes bad movies professionally, but he is a fan of self-confidence and always feels that his movies will sell well, so every time he talks about cooperation with people, he will use his producer's fee plus some other things. Resources account for some shares - anyway, he doesn't rely on labor for a living.

It's the same this time.

Li Xianyun was not interested in his 40.00% at all, and was about to reject him, when he suddenly thought of something.

Looking at the host house ghost in front of him, a thought came to his mind.

The notebook he wrote this time is essentially a murder case in a secret room.

The Chamber of Secrets is the key.

But the broken place that Ren Zhi found was basically impossible to play the role of the secret room, and it became a simple murder case.

But now there is a ghost house...

I rub!

Li Xianyun was taken aback by her own boldness.

But once the idea is born, it can't be lingered - Li Xianyun was not born to me, ghosts and movies are so blah!

At this moment Ren Zhi was still begging on the phone, Li Xianyun thought for a while, turned on the phone recording and said, "Please tell me clearly how much the crew spent and how much you can give. Be honest!"

Ren Zhi didn't dare to lie to him again.

The investor of this film contributed 150 million to account for 90.00% of the shares, and Ren Zhi contributed 160% of the resources, so the total offer was calculated as 200 million, and the report was calculated as [-] million.

In the actual shooting, it has only cost about 50 yuan so far. According to his original plan, he can spend a maximum of 30 yuan to complete the film, plus 20 yuan for publicity, and he can make a net profit of 50 yuan in cash plus a percentage [-]% of the equity, and in the part of the announcement, it is estimated that there is also his profit. Anyway, there is no difference of [-] to [-]%, and I will not be satisfied.

He regards this money as something on his own plate, and not long ago he even used it to repay a debt of 30 yuan, so what he actually has left is only about 70 yuan.

Because the management wants to take over the finances, it is no longer possible for Ren Zhi to use the 70 to fool him.

Li Xianyun smiled and said: "If the crew changes, the previous 50 yuan will be basically useless, and there may not be a few useful shots left. If you take out the 70 yuan, I will help you pay 30 yuan, and then it will account for 30.00%?"

"Forty, and my ten points." Ren Zhi emphasized.

Li Xianyun sneered: "Come on, if you signed the film agreement, if you can't produce the film and pay back the money, you have to bear all the consequences. You have no chance of winning the lawsuit, and you will have to pay for it when the time comes! In this case You still count shares with me? Thinking too well, right?"

I rub!

This kid is just getting into the industry, how does he know so much?

Should not be!

Ren Zhi said pitifully: "Give me a hand, brother, or I will be completely finished."

"You did it yourself." Li Xianyun sneered.

Ren Zhi had no choice but to say: "It's not that I don't want to take out the 30 yuan. But firstly, I don't have so much in my hand now, and secondly, even if I do take it out, it's only 100 million yuan, and it needs to be made into pieces. They still ask for 150 million yuan. Standards, but also financial, what do you want me to do?"

Li Xianyun chuckled: "So you want to use me to stir up the muddy water?"

"Brother!!! I kneel down for you!" Ren Zhi screamed miserably, and then there was a plop.

This is kneeling?

The frightening kneeling of a classmate who panicked kneels, but actually used it on himself?
Too bad I can't see it!
If you want to kneel, shouldn't you start a video first?

idiot!

Li Xianyun didn't talk nonsense, and directly called out Jingui and Zhang Yan, and after making them manifest, he hung up the phone and took a photo.

Sure enough, the image of the second ghost is still there.

Li Xianyun felt confident.

Calling Ren Zhi again, Li Xianyun said: "The connection was disconnected just now. I'll think about it. You are also my friend. Even though I have you as a friend, I am unlucky."

His words gave Ren Zhi hope: "Brother, give me a hand!"

Li Xianyun said: "I can lend you 30 yuan first to help you make up the money. As for the production of the film... find a time in the afternoon and call out the investors, and I will talk to them."

Ren Zhi said with a bitter face, "Isn't that appropriate?"

Li Xianyun turned on the tyrannical and cool mode, and his voice was cold and arrogant with special effects: "First, you are begging me now. Second, I am taking your order, so I will decide the rest! You know me If you don’t want to practice with this film, do you think I would agree to help you?”
