I really just want to make money

Chapter 403 A 100 million project!
Hefei Grand Theater

"This is the good project you said?"

Sitting in the VIP seat in the first row, Li Yu watched the drama performance on the stage with a dazed expression.

Now he has the urge to beat Dapeng to death, what the hell, I turned down the job of taking the temperature of the beautiful young woman Su Lin, so why don't you show me this?
This is Li Yu's first time watching a drama or something. He was not interested in such an elegant art before, and he probably won't be interested in it in the future...

Seeing Boss Li's cannibalistic eyes, Dapeng smiled awkwardly, and quickly explained:
"Mr. Li, take a look first, they are a comedy, very interesting..."

"Okay, if it's not interesting, I'll ask you to make a coal mining theme for the next drama."

Coal digging?

Dapeng's back was wet in an instant.

Nima, in order to invest in Lao Shenla, I sacrificed a bit!

Behind the stage, several actors in this drama are cheering each other up.

"Dapeng has already invited Mr. Li over here. Everyone must be motivated. Whether we can get investment depends on our performance tonight!"

A middle-aged man with a chubby round face and a sense of joy said with firm eyes.

"Old Shen, will Mr. Li really invest in our movie?"

Ma Li quietly opened a corner of the curtain, just in time to see Li Yu chatting with Dapeng.

So young, such a handsome boss!
Li Yu's name, Ma Li has heard countless times, all three costume TV dramas he invested in have exploded, and the surprise investment in "Huaxia Partner" before it was about to be released has also become an investment myth in the industry.

Now there is a saying in the circle, as long as it is a project that Li Yu values, it will be a big hit!

Seeing Ma Li's actions, several people who were happily twisting their heads came together to observe the big benefactor in the audience.

"Must! I'm so handsome, um, second only to President Li's handsomeness, I believe handsome guys think the same thing..."

"vomit!"

The others were immediately overwhelmed by Shen Teng's brazenness.

Several people exchanged a few words, and finally adjusted their nervous mood.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and get on stage quickly."

"come on!"

"For the movie dream!"

The curtain opened, and in the dilapidated classroom, a group of men and women in retro high school uniforms sat in the classroom, and the plot unfolded slowly.

In the first row, watching the time-travel and rebirth plot on the stage, Li Yu finally showed a little interest on his face.

Time travel to high school, and then all kinds of plagiarism, marrying Bai Fumei, and reaching the pinnacle of life, isn't this the classic rebirth plot in online novels?
Li Yu doesn't know drama, but he likes to read novels. This setting is a typical template for cool writing, and the audience is full of sense of substitution...

"It's interesting."

"Yeah, this drama team is very powerful. It is definitely the ceiling of the domestic comedy drama industry. It has been on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala for two consecutive years."

"Look at that hero, he is the one who played Hao Jian in the Spring Festival Gala sketch..."

"How cheap?"

Li Yu looked at Shen Teng's unbeaten face and nodded silently.

"He really lives up to his name."

The drama called "Charlotte Annoyance" lasted for 2 hours.

However, as Dapeng said, the live effect of this comedy mode drama is very good, at least Li Yu didn't feel the loss of time.

When the performance ended, there was a lot of applause at the scene.

"Mr. Li, what do you think of this show?"

Seeing that Boss Li was satisfied, Dapeng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It's nice not to have to dig coal...

"Not bad, at least you can see it."

"Ahem, President Li's pursuit of art is still as high as ever."

Dapeng patted his ass with a hippie smile, seeing that Boss Li was in a good mood, so he took the opportunity to say:

"Mr. Li, I'm quite familiar with the leading actors of this drama, and they have always admired Mr. Li. I would like to invite Mr. Li to dinner tonight, hehehe..."

"Hehe, you are so considerate, I'm afraid you have eaten less food from others."

Following Bubu Jingxin and Gongsuo Xinyu's fire, company bosses, celebrities, directors in the entertainment industry, and people who beat around the bush and wanted to invite Li Yu to dinner, he was used to it.

Too rich, there is always no way to avoid this kind of entertainment...

"Ahem, no, absolutely not, I just want them to play a few guest roles in the second season of "The Dirty Man". I'm all for the public."

Ignoring Dapeng's oath and oath, Li Yu readily agreed to the other party's invitation, because he was really hungry.

For the place to eat, Li Yu did not choose the hotel booked by the other party, but changed to his own club villa.

"Old Shen, we treated Mr. Li to dinner, why did it become Mr. Li's treat?"

Ma Li and the others were a little puzzled when the agreed five-star hotel started, but it turned out to be a private kitchen.

"You don't know that, the owner's own private restaurant, all the ingredients are specially customized green and pollution-free food, and the dishes in five-star restaurants are not at ease..."

"Damn it, you're so particular?" Chang Yuan couldn't help being speechless when he heard this.

"Five-star restaurants are disgusting. Can the boxed lunches we usually eat be considered human food?"

"No, what you eat is called pig food..."

"Fuck off!"

……

"I'll go! Is this a villa? Isn't it a bit extravagant to buy a villa just to open a private restaurant?"

Looking at the magnificently decorated villa in front of him, Shen Teng's eyes were shining.

Rich man!

"Whether you can make a movie or not depends on how you fool around tonight, err, how you persuade Mr. Li..."

Under the leadership of Shen Teng and Ma Li, several people in Happy Twist walked to the second floor, and then saw Li Yu and Dapeng.

"Come here, come here quickly, the food is ready, I'll be waiting for you."

Dapeng pulled Shen Teng over and introduced him with a smile.

"Everyone, this is President Li Yu."

"President Li, this is..."

"How cheap! Hahaha, I am familiar with this name."

The corners of Shen Teng's mouth twitched when he heard the word so cheap.

This name, following the effect of the Spring Festival Gala, has been firmly attached to his forehead. Now when people see him, the first thing that comes to mind is not his real name, but how cheap this person is...

"Mr. Li, I didn't expect you to have seen my sketches. It's a great honor! My name is Hao Jian, and my stage name is Shen Teng."

In order to attract investment, as long as the sponsor's father is happy, the name is not important anymore, as cheap as it is...

"Hahaha, come on, sit down."

Li Yu looked at Shen Teng with a smile. As expected of a comedian, he has no celebrity baggage when he is self-defeating.

Following Li Yu's arrangement, several people sat down, and after Shen Teng and the others introduced themselves, Li Yu basically didn't write down any of them.

After eating vegetables and filling their stomachs, Shen Teng and Ma Li began to bring the topic to themselves.

"Mr. Li, our happy twist team has been deeply involved in the stage drama industry since 2003."

"In the past few years, I have been performing dramas to accumulate experience, and I am quite famous. I am fortunate to be appreciated by the leaders of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. Since 2012, I have performed in the Spring Festival Gala for two consecutive years..."

After listening to the detailed introduction of Shen Teng and others, Li Yu was a little impressed by the members of this team.

In today's impetuous entertainment industry, this group of people has been silently persevering for ten years for their love of comedy. This perseverance alone is beyond the reach of ordinary stars.

"You can go to the Spring Festival Gala, which already represents the outside world's recognition of your drama performance." Li Yu gave them a pertinent evaluation.

Faced with Li Yu's evaluation, Shen Teng and others were very pleased, but they still smiled wryly.

"Yes, but the drama market in our country is still too niche after all. Even in the Spring Festival Gala, we still perform in the form of sketches."

"In the field of drama, we have reached the ceiling. If we want more audiences to know us and our comedy, we need to get out of the limitations of drama. We have been trying new forms of artistic expression over the years."

"Just like the show we performed today, we are going to make it into a movie..."

Hehe, here comes the meat scene.

Li Yu raised his eyebrows lightly, and said to himself that I am indeed Tang Monk flesh, and even actors in dramas have come to ask him to invest in making movies.

Is the threshold for movies so low now?
Li Yu quietly labeled Shen Teng and the others as liars, and then watched Shen Teng's tricks while eating.

Seeing Li Yu's performance, Shen Teng's burning hope suddenly faded.

The scene in front of them is so familiar. The father of the gold master they were looking for before had this expression before he refused...

The only thing that comforts them is that they don't need to spend money tonight, and the food is really good!

Looking at Chang Yuan and the others who were working hard, the corners of Shen Teng's mouth twitched, his face full of despair...

After eating and drinking, Li Yu looked at Shen Teng and Ma Li, whose smiles gradually disappeared, and felt a little bit unbearable.

Forget it, even though I know you guys are unreliable, I still decided to give you a chance!
Today's lottery turntable chance has not been used yet, just to see how unreliable these people are.

"Invest in a movie with happy twists."

Say a word silently in your heart, throw out 100 million, and successfully get a prediction message.

"Fuck!"

Looking at the few words of the future information, Li Yu almost popped his eyes out!
"Happy Twist series movies, the total box office exceeds [-] billion!"

Happy twist, so scary!
This is not a happy twist, it is clearly a happy grab for money!

Confirming again that he was not mistaken, it was tens of billions, not millions, Li Yu's eyes on Shen Teng and Ma Li changed.

Seeing Li Yu's fiery eyes, both Shen Teng and Ma Li tightened their chrysanthemums, and couldn't help thinking of the same sentence.

"Damn it, I'm just soliciting investment, I'm not selling myself as a performer!"

"Well, I like you very much."

Li Yu nodded in satisfaction.

Shen Teng: "..."

Mary: "..."

It's over, do you really want to dedicate yourself to art?
Just when the two were struggling, Li Yu suddenly asked a strange question:

"You guys, who is the boss?"

"Well, none of us are. We are just contracted artists of the company, but we are different from other companies. We got together because of our dreams. The boss usually doesn't care about things. Because we want to make movies, so we found investment by ourselves..."

Well, this is the first time that Li Yu was even more envious when he saw such a dedicated and full of ownership staff.

Such a good team, just buy it and herd the sheep directly, don't worry at all!

"I am very interested in your team and the business you are doing, and would like to ask your boss if he has any intention of selling."

"As long as I take over Happy Twist, don't dare to say anything else, the money is enough! I'll give you 10 billion, any good program you have, I can make it into a movie!"

"Hiss! 10 billion??"

"Mr. Li, you want to buy our Happy Twist??"

Not to mention Shen Teng and others, even Dapeng, who acted as a middleman for them, never thought that Boss Li would be such a rich man!

10 billion!
I'm still filming web dramas...

Isn't the gap between people too big?

Is it because I am not as handsome as Shen Teng?
No, is it because I'm not as wretched as he is?

Li Yu released a large satellite, and then he didn't care what Shen Teng and others thought.

Didn't you get together because of a dream?
Now I will use 10 billion pies to give wings to your dreams, and it depends on whether you can persuade the boss to sell the company...

100 billion box office!

It's still possible to earn 30 billion if you get rid of the messy dividends.

This is just the box office. You know, the bonus of a movie is not just as simple as the box office.

100 billion box office, as long as you use capital means to operate well, you can easily earn 100 billion...

After confirming again and again that Boss Li was not joking, Shen Teng and the others suddenly didn't know what to say.

Pulling an investment, it turned into a group selling themselves, who can argue with this!

The point is that the temptation to sell oneself is too great!

So big that they now want to persuade the boss to sell themselves!
Knowing that they have a lot to discuss now, Li Yu didn't keep them, and directly announced that the dinner was over.

After eating and drinking, Li Yu went to Su Lin's house again.

As a result, 100 billion was not earned, and billions of hot cash was lost...

It took Su Lin half an hour to recover a little bit of strength. After washing her body casually, she wrapped herself in a towel and lay flat.

"I hate it. Who are you going to see tonight? Why are you so excited?"

"Hey, I met a good project tonight, the kind that can earn tens of billions."

Satisfied, Li Yu held the car light and shone on the ceiling.

"A project that can earn tens of billions? Are you lying to ghosts..."

Su Lin didn't believe Li Yu's nonsense at all.

Don't say she doesn't believe it, if it weren't for the system never bragging, Li Yu would never believe it.

A company engaged in drama can actually make a movie with a cumulative box office of over [-] billion. People all over the country will not believe this kind of thing!
Don't believe me!

If you don't believe me, I can pick up a big leak!
……

After a night of discussion, Shen Teng, Ma Li and other Happy Twist members reached a consensus: the boss must sell themselves!
Of course, it's not easy for the boss to raise people like himself so big. Even if they want to sell, they have to help the boss sell it for a good price...

Early the next morning, the happy twist team took the high-speed train back to the imperial capital, and then the boss Zhang Chen was confused.

"What's the situation? You went to Hefei to perform, and when you came back, you rebelled collectively?"

"Ahem, Boss, don't make it so serious. We are not a traitor. We want you to cash out from a high position and retire with peace of mind."

"Yes, yes, we are also a team that has participated in the Spring Festival Gala twice, no matter what, we can sell [-] million, right? Boss, if you can sell [-] million, you will send it!"

"Boss, think about it. If you invest 30 yuan and earn 10 million yuan in 1 years, this return on investment is even better than Buffett!"

Shen Teng and the others sang together, leaving Zhang Chen, the owner of Happy Twist, speechless.

The reason seems to be such a reason, but it is not right!

The company is mine, why did you guys sell the company?
Well, the boss Zhang Chen is really more relaxed than Li Yu. He is only in charge of investment, and it is only 30. The rest is all the self-worth of the Happy Twist Team.

Although 10 yuan 30 years ago was very valuable, if it is exchanged for 10 million yuan 1 years later, this is definitely an unprecedented successful investment!

Looking at the group of old friends who have been with him for ten years, Zhang Chen understands a lot from their eyes...

They are no longer satisfied with dramas, they want to make movies and go to a bigger stage!

It’s okay for him to invest hundreds of thousands in dramas, but Zhang Chen really can’t do anything if he is asked to invest tens of millions or hundreds of millions in movies...

There is a kind of love called letting go, and it is time for me to let go, take the money and leave, and find a new love.
