Chinese Entertainment's Shining Star

"I'm going to get up and wash up, take this time to call Sissi, and we'll discuss where to go while we have breakfast later."

"Got the order!"

Seeing the comfort of leaving the room in high spirits, Nie Wei smiled. However, he did not get up and wash up directly. Instead, he first picked up the mobile phone on the bedside and dialed a number.

The call was quickly connected, and after exchanging pleasantries, Nie Wei asked directly: "How is the contact with Xiangjiang?"

"We have reached an advanced stage of negotiation and the other party is very attracted to the amount we proposed. It is expected that the final transaction price will be around US$12 million."

"I will give you a quota of 15 million. Get the 20% of the shares as soon as possible. Please call me as soon as possible about any progress. In addition, prepare another 1 million US dollars for me. I have other uses." Nie Wei ordered.

"I know, is the $1 million going into your personal account?" the other party confirmed.

"No, the money will be transferred to Mr. Zhou Aiguo's account."

"Understood."

After making the first phone call vigorously and resolutely, Nie Wei continued to make a second phone call. This time the person was Zhou Aiguo, mainly to report the million-dollar matter.

"What are you going to do with this money, and why do you want to transfer it to my account?" Zhou Aiguo asked in confusion when he heard that Nie Wei wanted to transfer one million US dollars to his account.

Nie Wei smiled bitterly and asked: "Uncle, as one of the big investors of the crew, can you also take good care of the crew? After all, there are still millions of your money thrown here. If you want to know why, just take a look at this morning. entertainment news headlines.”

"What news? Wait a minute, I'll look for it." Zhou Aiguo said and was about to turn on the computer.

"Uncle, you'll be watching the news later. I'm calling you to tell you about the money. In addition, you may need to come forward to manage the money in a few days. I will contact you then." Nie Wei said directly. .

"I understand, don't worry." Zhou Aiguo agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Nie Wei finally started to get up and wash up. After breakfast, she had to rush to the set. After all, although she already felt that she would not be able to start work today, she still had to go, as long as she had to report in.

Just as Nie Wei was already preparing his backup plan, the senior management of the crew was also holding a small meeting, mainly to deal with the news that suddenly broke out this morning.

Not many people attended the meeting, only director David Li, chief screenwriter Liu Guoquan and producer You Jianming.

It was said to be a meeting, but a few people got together to discuss the direction of this matter. After all, this has seriously endangered the future of the crew, and it is difficult for just a few of them to make a decision on the current situation. .

The meeting took place in David Li's lounge. The cabin was filled with smoke. In less than two hours since the three of them had been together, the ashtray had already been emptied twice.

After two hours, there was no result at all. In addition to scolding Cheng Kun for not revealing any news, the three of them also discussed two plans.

One is to protect Cheng Kun and close all communication channels between the crew and outside media.

However, the risk of doing so is also quite high. Not only is it easy to offend the media, but it also affects a series of publicity activities during the filming of the TV series. Of course, the biggest risk is the ratings of future broadcasts. After all, Cheng is surrounded by scandals. Kun is an unknown bomb at this moment, maybe it will blow up the entire TV series to pieces.

Apart from the first method, the only option they can choose is to change roles.

It seems that the three people present are more inclined to this choice. After all, it has only been less than a week since the filming of the TV series started. The loss of changing roles at this time is not big, but how to deal with Cheng Kun's contract and the investors behind him?

What's more, how to determine the candidate for the male lead after changing roles? This is a headache for them.

And for these three people, there is another difficulty that is more difficult to overcome, and that is the attitude of several major investors in the crew.

"After a while, two companies have already decided to withdraw from investment, and because of Cheng Kun's reasons, the endorsement companies behind him are expected to withdraw their investment. It is expected that our total investment amount will be at least 5 million," the producer. After You Jianming finished answering the phone, he frowned and reported to the other two people.

"What should I do? Five million is gone in one morning. How much is the total investment? Do you want me to shoot only twenty episodes for forty episodes?" David Li complained angrily.

"What's the use of talking about this? The key is to find a solution!" Liu Guoquan glared at David Li. This kid just couldn't calm down and even gave him a workout.

However, for the sake of his son's TV series and for the sake that his hard work would not be in vain, Liu Guoquan still asked You Jianming expectantly: "What is the attitude of the other big investors, especially the real estate developers? Are they willing to increase investment?"

"I haven't asked yet, but...it's difficult." You Jianming pondered for a while and gave a less optimistic answer.

After all, the current situation of the crew is very pessimistic. It would be a good thing if those smart businessmen don't withdraw their capital. The possibility of investment is really not high.

"Always try to ask, don't ask where the hope comes from." Liu Guoquan said, but just as she finished her words, You Jianming's phone rang again.

David Li was trembling at the moment. He had never been so afraid of one thing as he was today, and that was You Jianming's phone call.

Because every time this phone rings, his investment will be reduced by millions. If this continues, his crew will be disbanded in a few times.

In fact, not only Li Dawei is afraid, but You Jianming, the owner of the phone, is even more afraid. After all, he has invested a lot of money in this play. If it really fails, he will lose a lot of money.

What makes him even more terrified is that the call comes from Zhou Aiguo, a big investor who has invested more than five million. If he is also here to withdraw his investment, it will be a fatal blow to the crew.

You Jianming answered the phone nervously and greeted him carefully at first, but as the other end of the phone said something, his face became more and more strange. He was nervous at first, then unpredictable, and finally grinned and started to laugh.

"Okay, Mr. Zhou, I will do my best to fight for it, I promise!" You Jianming breathed a sigh of relief after hanging up the phone, and then he could no longer hold back his excitement and excitedly punched the air several times.

"Yeah yeah yeah!!! Hahaha!!!"

"Old You, what are you crazy about!" Liu Guoquan asked in fear when he saw You Jianming's crazy look.

"I'm happy." You Jianming replied excitedly: "Zhou Aiguo called just now and said he is willing to invest an additional 10 million!"

"What!!!???" Liu Guoquan and Li Dawei exclaimed together after hearing the news.

Ten million, plus the previous 5 million, Zhou Aiguo's total investment has exceeded 15 million, accounting for more than 50% of the investment in the entire TV series.

However, he could not have no purpose for the additional investment at this time. Liu Guoquan calmed down and asked You Jianming, and he got the answer.

Zhou Aiguo's only requirement is that the male lead must be given to Nie Wei!!!
