I'm the man behind the big stars

Chapter 30 Open the door and send fruit

"Self... Investing by yourself???"

Hearing what Lu Chen said, Cheng Ming was stunned. He wondered whether Lu Chen really didn't understand or was just joking with him.

"Our company is currently relying on the artist Shiyin to make money. Where can we get so much money to invest in movies?" Cheng Ming asked.

Lu Chen squeezed his chin with his hands, thought for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Try to control the cost to 3000 million."

This……

"Lu Chen, do you really plan to invest exclusively?" Cheng Ming asked cautiously.

Lu Chen nodded and said, "Yes."

Seeing that Cheng Ming seemed to have doubts, Lu Chen asked, "Do you think 3000 million is not enough?"

Cheng Ming didn't answer right away. He glanced down at the script in his hand and said: "It's definitely enough, but the quality is probably hard to guarantee. If this movie doesn't hire a better actor and a better director , it may appear a bit nondescript when photographed.”

Hearing Cheng Ming's words, Lu Chen fell into deep thought again. It's not that he didn't think about what Cheng Ming said.

An investment is faced with great risks. The first is the problem of insufficient funds. Although the cost can be controlled, the quality is likely to decline.

Secondly, if the investment fails, the consequences of the failure will be borne by the family alone. If you find several other investors to invest together, you can share the risk of failure.

Of course, there is another problem with finding more investors, that is, the final profits are divided among several investors.

After a long while, Lu Chen finally said, "I thought about it, and I still think it's better for our family to invest. As for the actors and directors, we can also use newcomers like the one in Dreamland when we filmed the obstinate princess."

This is a gamble in itself. If you win the gamble, the movie will sell well at the box office, and Chenyin will develop greatly. A little loss is nothing.

Seeing that Lu Chen had already made a decision, Cheng Ming didn't say anything more.

Lu Chen then continued to say:

"By the way, I wrote the script of Journey to the West. Don't let Shiyin know..."

As soon as Lu Chen's voice fell, Shi Yin pushed the door open and came in, and then asked suspiciously, "Why don't you let me know? What are you discussing furtively?"

Seeing Shiyin walking in, Lu Chen was stunned, this guy must have heard the conversation between him and Cheng Ming.

"Did you hear that?" Lu Chen asked.

"I just heard, don't let me know these words, what are you not letting me know?"

Having said that, Shi Yin stared straight at Lu Chen.

"You guys, aren't you talking about murdering me?"

Seeing that Shiyin didn't hear the conversation between Cheng Ming and himself, Lu Chen was relieved a lot. Now is not the time to let Shiyin know that he is the provider of film and television resources. In case the two of them get into a deadlock one day, Shiyin will leave The company, if Shi Yin knew that Lu Chen was the provider of all the company's resources, she would definitely consider whether to quit in a hurry. Lu Chen could provide so many high-quality film and television resources, why did she leave.

But if she didn't know that these film and television resources were provided by Lu Chen, she could pat her butt and sell the shares and leave directly.

In the late stage of Chenyin's development, if Shiyin wants to leave, it will be beneficial to Lu Chen. Lu Chen can take advantage of that opportunity to take back all the shares in Shiyin's hands. behind.

Whether it is useful or not will be known later. Maybe this idea will appear extremely naive in the future, but it may also be a wise decision.

At this moment, Lu Chen looked a little helpless and said: "I discussed with Cheng Ming about the company dinner tonight, and I didn't intend to inform you. You should have overheard it, so I still don't hide it."

Hearing this, Shiyin froze for a moment, and then said with a little anger: "What! The company dinner didn't even notify me! I'm also a major shareholder of Chenyin!"

"If I inform you, what if someone recognizes you at the restaurant? Wouldn't it make us unable to eat well?" Lu Chen said calmly.

Seeing Lu Chen and Shi Yin arguing again, Cheng Ming smiled and left Lu Chen's office quietly.

I really don't know what these two people are doing.

In Cheng Ming's eyes, Shi Yin and Lu Chen are a couple. After all, Shi Yin was recommended by him to audition for the Diao Man Princess crew, and the relationship between the two seems to be good, and they also founded the company together. They would hide some things from each other, although they were all trivial things, which made Cheng Ming a little confused.

In the evening, all the staff of Chenyin went to a nearby hotel for dinner.

Of course, in the end Shiyin still went.

After dinner, Lu Chen, Cheng Ming, and several male employees of the company went to the hotel's KTV to sing, while Shi Yin and other female employees went back.

Several big men in the company came to sing a song after drinking, and when Cheng Ming finished singing, Lu Chen immediately got up, walked to the song jukebox, and searched for the song he wanted to sing.

At this time, Lin Zijie from the personnel department stood up and said to Lu Chen and the others, "You guys sing first, I'll go out and answer the phone."

After finishing speaking, Lin Zijie glanced at the group of drunk guys. He was the only one here who didn't drink. Originally, he planned to go back after the dinner, but when Shi Yin asked him to watch Lu Chen and the others, he stayed. Come down, but his girlfriend is calling, and he has to go out to answer it.

It's just that he still felt a little uneasy, so he walked to the door and said to the waiter girl: "Little sister, do me a favor and watch them for me. If they want to leave, let them wait until I come back."

Tong Huan was suddenly accosted by a guest, and she trembled in fright, she turned her head slowly.

Today is the first time for her to work in a KTV. It is rumored that KTV is a place where good and bad people are mixed. What she fears most is meeting those little hooligans. The KTV they are in is a relatively large one. Each large private room has a dedicated The waiter, and she is the waiter in Lu Chen's private room.

After being entrusted with the matter by the guests, Tong Huan responded tremblingly: "Don't worry, I will help you take care of those guests."

"Thank you."

After finishing speaking, Lin Zijie walked to a special place for smoking on the second floor of the KTV, and then called his girlfriend back.

Tong Huan walked into Room K cautiously, and then closed the door gently. The door was not closed. She was afraid that these men would plot against her. Men who drank alcohol were full of wildness in their bodies, so they had to guard against them.

However, it was obvious that Lu Chen and the others didn't notice her, and didn't even look at her.

At this time, Lu Chen finally found a song he wanted to sing, and after clicking the song, the prelude began to play.

Hearing this familiar melody, everyone in the room fell silent. In the early morning, the song "Let Me Stay By Your Side" has been very popular recently, and now it has become one of the must-play songs of K songs, but these songs in the private room People don't know that Lu Chen is actually the original singer of this song.

At this time, the prelude ended, and Lu Chen began to sing with his wine-soaked voice.

i never speak
because i'm scared

no one answered

……

As soon as the first two songs were uttered, everyone in the private room was stunned. Lu Chen's voice gave people a sense of vicissitudes and helplessness. Maybe it was because he drank alcohol, and his voice was already a little hoarse. Because of this hoarseness, it exaggerated a sad atmosphere. At this moment, Lu Chen slightly closed his eyes and continued.

Hearing the end of the first stanza, everyone in the private room felt as if their hearts were being pierced. This song was sung so badly!Especially the tearing feeling, which goes straight to the soul, Lu Chen almost integrated all his emotions into the singing, they seemed to see a person who was struggling in the swamp, but could never break free from the shackles of the quagmire .

In the next melody, Lu Chen opened his eyes, and he quietly looked at the big screen in the K room.

In the last life, because of a woman, because of his own incompetence, he lost all his family property, and no one knew when he finally died. It was extremely miserable. In this life, he will never repeat this process again.

At this time, while waiting for the melody to end, Lu Chen continued to sing.

the smallest me
humblest dream
……

never the end

don't be afraid to let me stay by your side
I will spend it with you~~~
When the singing was over, the whole private room fell into a deathly silence, and people didn't know what to say. This is exactly the same as the original song. No, it's better than the original song, and it's more emotional. There are rumors on the Internet that early morning is Lu Chen , that early morning can't really be their boss, right?Thinking of this, Cheng Ming and the others looked at Lu Chen with unbelievable but somewhat expectant eyes. At this moment, Lu Chen had fallen into a state of ethereal thinking, as if he had seen through everything.

At this moment, a faint cry suddenly came from the corner of Room K.

This……

It was only then that Lu Chen and the others realized that a strange woman had entered their private room.

They all looked in the direction of the door, and saw a waiter with a single ponytail raising his hands, holding his tears and sobbing.

Lu Chen was dumbfounded.

He didn't cry, why is this woman crying?
Cheng Ming and the others were also stunned. Who was this little sister and when did they come in? Why didn't they know at all.

Also, why is she crying?
Seeing the girl's clothes, Cheng Ming suddenly realized that this is not the waiter in their private room.

Because of drinking, Cheng Ming immediately played the role of a confidant big brother. He got up and walked to Tong Huan, and said to her: "Little sister, why are you crying? Did you suffer any grievances? Don't hold back if you have grievances." Come on, it feels a lot better to say it..."

Being comforted by Cheng Ming, Tong Huan burst into tears and squatted down.

Cheng Ming was dumbfounded. Does he look so scary?
Lu Chen's singing just now was so sad that it infected Tong Huan.

Tong Huan has been relatively introverted and timid since she was a child, and she is afraid of talking to others. Even in college, she is still like that. She is defensive towards her roommates. It can be said that she suffers from severe autism.

But she is such a person, but she has always had a dream in her heart, that is to become the idol of the girl group, to be able to sing and dance on the stage, so after graduating from university, she left the city she used to be familiar with, and left the city she was familiar with. From a small town, she came to Hwaseong alone to pursue her dream.

It stands to reason that her good looks are enough, she looks youthful and beautiful, with medium-length black hair, a single ponytail, and fair skin, whoever likes it, but it is a pity that her character is too timid. As for her being extremely nervous every time she stands on the stage, she is speechless.

She has participated in more than a dozen programs recruiting girl group members, but none of them selected her. The prices in Hwaseong are too high, and the rent is also high. She was forced to choose a job. However, her personality always There were troubles at work, which caused her to be fired several times, and she failed the probationary period almost every time.

Today is the first time for her to work in this KTV, and it is also a trial period. Just thinking about the environment of KTV that her classmates told her in the past, she is terrified.

Lu Chen's singing reminded her of her hardships along the way. With her character, she was able to stay in Hwaseong for two years. During these two years, one can imagine the hardships she has endured.

Wronged, she has never felt wronged, she feels more small than herself.

As Lu Chen sang, "The smallest me, the humblest dream."

She hates herself for being cowardly, but she can't overcome her fear of the outside world anyway. On the contrary, work has brought her into contact with some real injustices, some real unspoken rules and filth, which made her want to escape this society even more.

Seeing Tong Huan crying like rain, Lu Chen put down the microphone, coughed twice, and said, "Ahem, little sister, did I scare you by singing too loudly just now, I apologize to you, don't cry okay."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside Room K.

Cheng Ming asked, "Who is it?"

"Send fruit." The male waiter outside the door said.

"Wait a minute."

Cheng Ming said to Tong Huan again: "Little sister, someone wants to come in, can you let me go first?"

Cheng Ming's words didn't have any effect, Lu Chen's singing tore a hole in the soul of this autistic girl, it was obviously not so easy to integrate.

The male waiter at the door saw that the door had not been opened for so long, he looked in through the crack of the door suspiciously, and found that no one was sitting on the sofa.

He muttered, "Strange, where are people?"

He pushed on the door, which was blocked by something.

The male waiter said again: "Guest, bring fruit."

Under the impetus of alcohol, Cheng Ming shouted loudly: "I told you to wait!"

At this time, the male waiter seemed to hear a faint cry. At this moment, a song with a relatively low key was already queued up on the karaoke device in the private room, so the sound of the stereo was not very loud, and the male waiter could hear Tong Huan's crying. to some.

The male waiter suddenly realized that they had a beautiful little sister here today, and that little sister is the waiter of this box, but her voice was not heard at the door.

Thinking of this, a terrible scene suddenly appeared in the male waiter's mind. He was frightened and pushed open the door, and Tong Huan was pushed to the ground because of blocking the door.

As soon as the male waiter came in, he saw the scene in front of him, and said to the walkie-talkie in panic, "Call...the police, call the police, someone in room 1103 is molesting our employees."
