Chapter 278 I'll Take the Boss's Investment
After hanging up the phone, not long after, Peng Mo drove over to pick up Shen Lang.
In the car...
“Brother Lang, all the original team members are here, except you!”
"What about investment? Do you want me to help you contact an investor?" For this kind of film, you have to give the boss a share of the profits.
Unexpectedly, Peng Mo shook his head and said, "No, no, Director Ning wants to make a movie now, and we don't lack investors!"
Times have changed, and it is indeed true. I am moving forward, and my brothers are also running!
“Who is the big shot investor?”
"Han Ping, they are all familiar!"
Damn, it’s Old Han again, that’s not surprising.
Last time, when "Crazy Stone" was released, Lao Han became familiar with everyone and witnessed with his own eyes how "Stone" went from being worthless in a toilet to being a dazzling emerald.
So it is reasonable for Lao Han to invest!
……
"Teacher Shen!"
"Oh! Teacher Shen is here! Please come in!"
"How can we let Teacher Shen sit near the door? Quick, quick, take your seat, take your seat!"
As soon as he entered the door, familiar and unfamiliar faces all greeted Shen Lang warmly with smiles on their faces.
How could Shen Lang possibly sit at the top seat? After some humility, he and Ning Hao finally sat down with Han Ping at the first seat.
After Han Ping sat down, he still held Shen Lang's hand and said, "Teacher Shen, you are still so humble and low-key. It really touches us old friends!"
Everyone nodded in satisfaction.
How many people from the mainland film and television circles have been nominated for foreign awards?
It is said that he was nominated for Venice, Berlin, and South Korea, but Shen Lang looked down on him and rejected him.
Not long ago, Shen Lang went abroad for the first time to film a movie. Pulp Fiction became an instant hit. As one of the screenwriters, Shen Lang also became a Chinese actor and screenwriter that filmmakers all over the world began to pay attention to because of his Oscar nominations for Best Picture and Best Screenplay!
Despite his achievements, he is still so humble and low-key after returning to China.
Look, look, Teacher Shen is interacting with old friends in a friendly and intimate manner, and the atmosphere is particularly good.
"Peng Mo, why the hell did you write "Crazy Stone" without me? Don't you consider me a friend?"
"...Teacher Shen, you have a little misunderstanding about me!"
"Misunderstand?"
"How about the screenwriter add your name?"
"Haha, you want to have sex with me for free?"
"hiss……"
The two of them were talking with smiles on their faces, which made Han Ping's face freeze.
Damn, Teacher Shen is not alienated from everyone. Teacher Shen has never considered himself an outsider!
While sighing, Shen Lang turned around and asked Han Ping: "Boss Han, how much money are you going to invest in Director Ning's play?"
"Ah, haha, Teacher Shen, we have sufficient funds this time, 20 million!" Han Ping said confidently, finally coming to the point where he could stand out.
"Twenty million?" Shen Lang smacked his lips, as if wondering how much twenty million was.
In other words, Ning Hao knew Shen Lang better, so he listened carefully and said, "Actually, the funding is still a bit tight. Teacher Shen, would you like me to help you think of a solution?" Han Ping was anxious. He was very optimistic about this movie. He had asked someone to calculate it in the early stage. 20 million was not a small amount. Why did he need more...
At this moment, Ning Hao touched his calf, and he suddenly came to his senses: "Ah, haha, isn't twenty million a little too little? Can Teacher Shen help me get some more funds?"
"Really? Not enough?" Shen Lang was surprised. "Okay, I'll ask Ms. Gu. Her film company has just been established, so she should have plenty of funds!"
Little Karami, who was sitting at the same table, was immediately touched: "Teacher Shen is really a good person. He solved a big problem for the crew right after he arrived!"
"Teacher Shen is eager to help others and is a timely help to the imperial capital!"
"Teacher Shen is such a big shot, but he always thinks about his brothers wherever he goes! I'm going to toast Teacher Shen later!"
Ning Hao: "...That's fine, having extra funds isn't a bad thing anyway!"
Peng Mo: “All the things that I dared to think of but not write before are now available!”
Han Ping: "Who the hell did I offend? The profits were originally mine, right? Forget it, I'll just get along with this guy. It's not a bad thing anyway!"
……
Shen Lang called Gu Jialan and told him about this in front of everyone.
Gu Jialan was in cahoots with Shen Lang. No, she was used to being in sync with Shen Lang. When she heard this, she knew that this was an opportunity for Shen Lang to make money for her, so she quickly said, "It just so happens that before the filming of Slumdog Millionaire starts, I need to raise funds. This is an opportunity. Do you think it's okay for me to invest two million?"
"What? Boss, you want to invest 20 million?" Shen Lang turned to Han Ping with an angry face and said, "My boss is really asking for too much. She said she can invest, starting with 20 million. Boss Han, you are really..."
Gu Jialan: “…”
Han Ping wiped his sweat and said, "It would take 4 million to invest..., hahaha, million is fine, more money makes things easier, welcome to invest, Mr. Gu!"
Shen Lang looked apologetic and turned to the phone, scolding: "Boss Han only invested 2000 million, what's the big deal about you investing 1999 million? Boss, you invested million! The investor at the end of the credits still needs to be named Boss Han!"
Han Ping: I really want to thank you. If anything goes wrong, I will have to take the main responsibility. I am the one who does all the hard work. Your boss has no risk and makes money while drinking coffee. And I should thank you for giving me the position of producer? ? ? ? ? So sad!
Gu Jialan had no idea what was going on on the other end of the phone and was in a daze, but she knew that Shen Lang would never let her down, so she agreed without hesitation.
As soon as Shen Lang arrived, he took the initiative.
Read the script before serving.
The script was still similar to the one in another time and space. Shen Lang raised his head and asked, "What about the actors now? Have you made any arrangements?"
Talking about business, Ning Hao said seriously: "Not yet, we are considering it, let's decide on you as the protagonist first! We can talk about other roles later."
Shen Lang waved his hands and said, "Director, I don't think I'm suitable for this role. I feel more comfortable playing villains!"
When everyone heard this, they all had strange looks on their faces. Most people would avoid villain roles, but this guy was actually begging to play the villain role.
However, there are indeed many outstanding villain characters in this drama, which is understandable.
"Teacher Shen, what do you think of the character of Geng Hao..."
Just then, the door of the box was pushed open. Everyone looked towards the door and saw a middle-aged man in his sixties walking in.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard the clattering of stools in the box. It turned out that everyone stood up to welcome the visitor.
The man came towards Shen Lang holding a wine glass, and said with a smile: "Teacher Shen, I heard you were next door, so I came all the way to meet you!"
Shen Lang raised his glass with a smile: "Teacher Guoli, I have heard of you for a long time!"
