Chapter 244. Chapter 242.
The film and television industry has never been a circle that abides by rules, and there is a set of rules under the rules.

They have their own unique way of playing, using some small rights in their hands and some so-called inner circle rules to achieve some dark thoughts of their own.

This is commonly known as unspoken rules. Unspoken rules are not just referring to sleeping actors, there are many things in it.

Stealing investors' money is also a common perception among everyone. The various departments of the crew will find ways to steal some money from the producers, and the producers will want to steal some money from investors.

Chen Li'an didn't find it strange that Zhang Guoli wanted to invest more. From the very beginning, he knew that Zhang Guoli would do such a thing.

In his previous life, Chen Li'an had heard about some things about Zhang Guoli, that he had spent a lot of money in Kangxi's series, and in the end the copyright of Kangxi was auctioned off.

Originally, Chen Li'an thought that there would be no big problems if Chen Meiren was the producer, but they would have blackmailed a dozen or 20 yuan at most.

But who would have thought that Chen Meiren was secretly pregnant, and now there is no supervision at all, and the whole crew is in the hands of Zhang Guoli and Zhang Zien, so they can be greedy as much as they want.

It is true that the crew has no funds now, but the money is not used for filming, and at least [-]% of the initial investment has been taken away by them in various ways.

These people are really greedy. If it is in Xiangjiang, it is estimated that the sea will be reclaimed, that is, the environment in the mainland is good, otherwise who is used to their stinky problems!
This incident also exposed the company's current problems, such as imperfect management and lack of talents. Most of the matters were handled by Chen Meiren herself.

Even the advertising business is mostly negotiated by Chen Meiren, so there is no way to make a company bigger.

Chen Li'an has never been a businessman, and he doesn't understand management and accounting. His only advantage is that he has some memories of the future, but it is too difficult to turn these into wealth.
His rebirth brought him only some artistic talents, not any business talents.

Otherwise, whoever is reborn in the literary and artistic circles, wouldn't it be nice to go into business and make money?

Chen Li'an thought outside for a while before returning to Chen Meiren's office. At this moment, Chen Meiren had calmed down.

It's not that she hasn't been in the crew before, and it's not that she doesn't know these things, it's just that she is a little angry after the role changes.

In the past, I took money from other people's pockets, but now others take money from my own pockets. It feels completely different.

Seeing Chen Li'an coming in, Chen Meiren frowned and said, "You better not show up on this matter, let me handle it."

"Let me handle it, don't get angry." Chen Li'an said worriedly.

Chen Meiren shook her head and said, "I know you don't like this kind of thing, you don't have as much experience as I do, and I will be in charge of the company in the future, so I can't rely on you for everything."

Chen Li'an looked at Chen Meiren's serious look, nodded slightly and said, "I'll be with you, and I'll sit in the rear for you. This time, it's not a big deal, so take it as a lesson."

"The question is, do the film crew still have the money to continue filming?" Chen Meiren said with some concern, "The 600 million invested in the front can't really be in vain."

"The money is definitely gone, but the crew's lack of money does not mean that Zhang Guoli and the others have no money. This cooperation has already benefited a lot. He is a bit too greedy."

"You want Zhang Guoli to spit out the money?" Chen Meiren thought for a moment and shook her head, "It's unrealistic, how can you spit out what you eat."

Chen Li'an smiled and said: "It's fine if you don't vomit, it depends on whether he has the ability to digest it!"

Seeing Chen Meiren's irritated appearance, Chen Li'an grabbed her hand and said: "The most important thing now is not whether Kangxi can continue to shoot, but the problems exposed by the company. It doesn't matter if a few million is in vain. It's not that there is no money."

Hearing Chen Li'an's words, Chen Meiren couldn't help but give him a blank look and said, "That's millions, not hundreds of dollars! That's my son's milk powder money, I have to make him spit it out!"

Hearing what Chen Meiren said, Chen Li'an couldn't help but burst out laughing, wondering if Chen Meiren could be regarded as being a mother.

Chen Li'an thought for a while and said to Chen Meiren: "Now send someone from the company to check the accounts. You don't want to come forward. Give Zhang Guoli and the others a little time to make up for it. If they really plan to eat it and not spit it out, then we will come forward."

"Are you still going to leave room for him?" Chen Meiren was a little annoyed, thinking that this was too cheap for Zhang Guoli.

"Zhang Guoli isn't that stupid. I'll leave room for him, and he will catch it." Chen Li'an said with a smile: "And you said it, it's an investment of several million dollars, not hundreds of dollars."

"It's good to know." Chen Meiren couldn't help but said angrily, "I thought you really didn't care about money."

Chen Li'an shook his head, but did not explain to Chen Meiren, he really didn't care about the millions, what he cared about was that Zhang Guoli took him for a fool.

I really thought he donated several million and everyone said he was a second idiot, so he really is a second idiot.

I'll knock your head off!

Chen Meiren sat on the boss chair, subconsciously twirled on her toes, looked at Chen Li'an after thinking for a while and said, "But I have no one in my hands to send them over."

Chen Li'an didn't know very well about the company's situation. If there was really no suitable person, he could only ask Li Dabai to go there temporarily.

You have to give her a financial pretense. After all, it's not a real audit, and it's meaningless to actually check it out.

After confirming to send Li Dabai to put on a show, Chen Li'an said to Chen Meiren: "You should go recruit people first, the company has too few talents."

"Well, I will."

Chen Meiren also felt that she thought it was too easy to start a company before. If Chen Li'an hadn't had a good vision and made money by investing in two dramas, she probably would have made the company dirty.

Chen Meiren has gone to recruit talents. In the past few years, she has known many people in the industry. In the past two years, several major film studios have been in recession, and there are many people who need to work.

Li Dabai was ordered to put on a show when she was in danger, but she was a little nervous, a girl in her twenties would still be a little flustered when encountering such a thing.

"Mr. Chen, I'm afraid I can't do well, and I haven't checked the account yet." Li Dabai looked at Chen Li'an nervously.

Chen Li'an said with a smile: "It's okay, don't talk too much after you go, just keep a straight face and check the accounts every day, just to scare them."

"Scaring them?" Li Dabai was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses, looked at Chen Li'an and asked, "Did you really plan to check the accounts?"

"No, if you really check, you won't be allowed to go."

"."

Sure enough, he was just a tool man, Li Dabai couldn't help but mutter in his heart, when will he stand up!
In Kangxi's crew, Chen Zihan and Jiang Qingqing sat together, whispering to each other, turning their heads to look at Zhang Zien and Zhang Guoli from time to time.

"Qingqing, you said how dare they cheat Li'an of money, they are too courageous, it's still 100 million."

"Be brave." After Jiang Qingqing finished speaking, she turned to look at Chen Zihan and said, "How many times have I told you, don't call me by my name!"

Chen Zihan shrank his neck, took Jiang Qingqing's hand and protested softly: "Didn't you say that you can be called by your name outside?"

Seeing Chen Zihan subdued, Jiang Qingqing snorted triumphantly, squeezed her hand lightly and said, "Forget it this time, I will punish you next time."

Thinking of Jiang Qingqing's punishments that she didn't know where to learn, Chen Zihan blushed, lowered her head and let out a groan.

Zhang Guoli and Zhang Zien, who were not far away from them, were also bothered at this time, and they had a disagreement on this matter.

"Why should you return the money?" Zhang Zien looked at Zhang Guoli and said, "I don't believe that he is really willing to let the previous 600 million be wasted!"

Zhang Guoli looked at Zhang Zien, who was still struggling, and said speechlessly: "Then you say that the crew has no money now, so how will the next scene be filmed!"

"Let him invest more, at most, he needs a little less." Zhang Zien felt his heart bleed when he thought of spit out the hundreds of thousands of embezzled money.

"Do you think people will still give it?" Zhang Guoli sighed and said, "There are not many scenes in the future, let's get together and finish the filming."

Zhang Guoli was different from Zhang Zien, he had only gained a firm foothold in the capital, and he had just made a small fuss with Liu Luoguo, if he offended Chen Li'an, it would be really difficult in the future.

Chen Li'an is different from ordinary investors, he is not an outsider who only has money, otherwise Zhang Guoli would have fooled him.

It's a pity that Chen Li'an is a member of the industry, and he is well-known in the literary and art circles. He has been published in magazines in the organization many times. If you really want to make things difficult for him, his hard work in the past few years has really been in vain.

Knowing about Zhang Guoli's situation, Zhang Zien was silent for a while, and thought about the funds needed in the future, and said with some distress: "At least 80 yuan is needed to finish the filming, so I can't afford so much."

"How much can you take out?" Zhang Guoli asked immediately when he saw Zhang Zien let go.

Zhang Zien hesitated for a moment and said, "I can take out up to [-]."

Zhang Guoli: "." You fucking took more than 40 from the crew, and now you only spit out [-]? !

Looking at Zhang Guoli's ugly face, Zhang Zi'en made amends: "I have spent all my money, I really have no money! Why don't you talk to Chen Li'an again and ask him to add another 50."

If you have money, you don’t give it. When you and your wife got the money faster than anyone else, now that something happens, you should ask me to pay the money first, right?
Zhang Guoli couldn't afford 70 yuan, even if he could, he wouldn't take it. How could he fill it with his own money.

Seeing Zhang Zien's look like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, Zhang Guoli sighed helplessly and said, "I'll try, but it's probably useless to find Chen Li'an, we can only try if Chen Meiren is willing to pay for it." .”

It's just that before Zhang Guoli called Chen Meiren, Li Dabai had already brought finances to the crew.

Li Dabai kept Chen Li'an's account in mind, and after arriving at the crew, he just greeted Zhang Guoli and asked to take out all the accounts of the crew, and he had to check the accounts himself.

Zhang Guoli looked at Li Dabai's young appearance as a little girl, and he was not so vigilant. He vaguely guessed what Chen Li'an meant, and cooperated with him to hand over all the accounts to Li Dabai's finances.

Anyway, there are no problems with the accounts, but there are many things with inflated prices. I really want to find out the problem. It's really hard to find out if I don't send seven or eight people over.

After Li Dabai and the others left holding the accounts, Zhang Guoli sighed slightly and said to Zhang Zien: "It seems that Chen Li'an didn't intend to go into it."

Zhang Zien's eyes lit up and said: "That's not right, then ask him if he would like to invest more."

Zhang Guoli glanced at him and said: "But I also plan to give the money, otherwise it's not like sending a little girl to check the accounts."

Deng Jie beside him also said worriedly: "Then what should I do?"

After finishing speaking, Deng Jie glanced at Zhang Zien, feeling a little annoyed that he was only willing to pay 10 yuan if something happened, and the couple should pay the remaining 70 yuan?
Zhang Zien pretended to be stupid and looked away. He really had no money. He had already spent all the previous money, leaving only 15 yuan.

Being willing to spend [-] is already the limit.

The most important thing is that Zhang Zien is not that afraid of Chen Li'an, and he is not a member of the Beijing circle, so at worst he will not cooperate with Chen Li'an in the future.

Seeing Zhang Zien's reluctance, Zhang Guoli made up his mind that he would not cooperate with him again in the future.

But now the crew really didn't have enough money to continue filming, so they could only ask Meiren Chen for money.

After Zhang Guoli thought for a while, he said to Deng Jie: "Now I can only go to Chen Meiren. You go back to the capital and ask for 80, come back with [-]!"

"I'm going to ask for money?" Deng Jie was stunned for a moment, looking at Zhang Guoli's subtle eyes, she probably guessed what it meant, and then immediately changed her words: "That's the only way, I'll go as I go."

"Yes, it's best to go to Deng Jie. It's easy for women to talk to each other." Zhang Zien said with a smile.

Zhang Guoli pulled out an ugly smile and said nothing, thinking about how to clean himself this time.

Chen Li'an is not clear about Zhang Guoli's small thoughts, and he doesn't bother to think about it. Although he is not a big figure in the circle, he is not a big director or a second generation, but he can still do it if he really wants to punish a person. .

There is someone above us!Even if no one still has money, it’s not too much to think about how to fix a person.

After all, the entertainment circle is still a circle, and Zhang Guoli has just stepped into this circle with one foot, and it is not impossible to kick him out.

Chen Li'an, who was calm in his heart, didn't think about it now, he was busy going to see Yu Feihong.

But this time it was not in a cafe, but in a private teahouse. Chen Li'an couldn't understand why Yu Feihong, who said he liked drinking coffee the day before yesterday, suddenly invited him to the teahouse.

The girl finished reading the novel that night, and called Chen Li'an the next day, wanting to chat with him.

I don't know what Yu Feihong is talking about, but after reading it, I feel that I don't have a lot of words in my heart, and I have an inexplicable impulse.

Maybe it's the same as seeing all the classmates in the class fall in love when I was in school, and I want to fall in love too.

When Yu Feihong was reading novels, Chen Li'an's voice from that day would always echo in her mind.

The unhurried and contagious voice tells the story of ginkgo and ginkgo very poignantly, as if whispering in the bottom of my heart.

Yu Feihong always unconsciously substitutes Chen Li'an's image into the heroine of the novel, and herself into the heroine.

The protagonist in the novel has an image in an instant. When Yu Feihong read the whole novel, she felt as if she had an unforgettable love with Chen Li'an in the book.

Although it was fake, when she saw Chen Li'an, Yu Feihong still couldn't help but have a strange emotion in her eyes.

Seeing Chen Li'an's good-looking face and melancholy demeanor, Yu Feihong felt that he was really similar to the hero in the novel, with a handsome appearance.

Literary and artistic young women have outstanding brain power and love fantasy, especially when they are in their 20s.

Looking at Yu Feihong's strange eyes, Chen Li'an always felt full of affection, which made him flustered.

He had only seen such eyes from Mr. Zhou, but Mr. Zhou's temper, who was crazy in love, was obviously not the same as Yu Feihong.

The most important thing is that he and Yu Feihong have only met twice!

Chen Li'an couldn't help coughing lightly, looking at the herbal tea in front of him, he turned the cup subconsciously.

Yu Feihong looked at Chen Li'an's slender and beautiful fingers, looked at the cup of herbal tea and said mysteriously, "The tea is cold, I'll refill it for you."

Hearing Yu Feihong's words, Chen Li'an immediately stopped. Isn't this the most common sentence that the heroine of Gingko Ginkgo said to the hero? !

Is this girl reading books and seeing demons? !
