Chapter 155: Plan to Save Guo Rong
Xu Chen and Lou Ye discussed the investment details of "Suzhou River".
Actually, there is nothing to discuss.
The initial budget of this movie was only 1 million. Lou Ye begged for money while filming. When the movie was finished, the total investment was 4.5 million, and Lou Ye personally invested 600,000.
Xu Chen spent 3 million, and the total investment was 7.5 million.
Xu Chen calculated, damn, I am the one who was cheated by the Titled Douluo movie!
He spent 3.5 million of the total investment of 7.5 million, and he was immediately distressed.
Although Lou Ye did not lose money on "Suzhou River", this grandson has no limit on the budget for making movies.
Maybe in the post-production of the movie, he begged for money and put it into the movie, diluting the movie's share.
This kid has a criminal record. When the budget of "Suzhou River" was 1 million, the total investment was 20 million.
"Old Lou, how about this? I'll call Zhang Yimou to rent the post-production equipment from Beijing Film Studio." Xu Chen decided to send someone to keep an eye on him.
If Lao Mouzi dares to fleece him, he will dare to fleece Zhang Yimou to death!
Lou Ye's hand trembled as he held the tea.
Damn it, you call Zhang Yimou and Zhang Yimou will do things for you?
"Brother Chen, if we can get the equipment from Beijing Film Studio, the budget will be much more generous." Lou Ye called Brother Chen very smoothly.
Xu Chen has money! People!
Lou Ye has been wandering for half his life and has never met a wise master. Now that he has met Mr. Xu, Lou Ye feels that spring has come.
Holding the teacup, he is greedy: "Brother Chen, is there any hope that "Suzhou River" will pass the review in China?"
"It's difficult, Old Lou." Xu Chen glanced.
Lou Ye's last movie was released in Hong Kong in violation of the rules, and the superiors warned him once, but "Suzhou River" came.
This movie is not illegal, but Lou Ye is shooting the movie privately, without any connection with the major film studios in the mainland.
The bandits still want to get official certification, but Lou Ye is just imagining beautiful things.
"Ah~"
Lou Ye's face is originally bitter, and his face is as sad and sighing as if he is soaked in bitter water. His movie life is on thin ice.
"Lou Ye, let's have something good tonight." Xu Chen patted Lou Ye on the shoulder, and he had no choice.
Lou Ye's "Suzhou River" was released, and the movie was banned for 5 years. There are still many days to go.
However, Xu Chen thinks that Lou Ye's movie is banned. What's the point of always shooting some negative images of China for foreigners to see...
It's better to work hard for Time Pictures to shoot MVs and commercials, and there are unlimited money.
After completing the investment details of "Suzhou River", Lou Ye retreated very tactfully.
He feels that his movie life can still be saved. After all, Xu Chen is deeply trapped in the Shura field of three women, and his situation is much more "on thin ice" than his~
Xu Chen is indeed on thin ice.
"Old Xu, thank you."
As soon as Lou Ye left, Zhou Xun jumped in front of Xu Chen like a moth to a flame.
Xu Chen was sitting, Zhou Xun measured the distance, it was not easy to kiss, so he simply hooked his white and slender arms around Xu Chen, covered his chest tightly, and shouted happily: "Bad brother, I knew you wouldn't let me miscarry in vain."
Zhou Xun's young and white mouth was hooked with a sweet smile.
Bad brother must have invested in the movie because he loved her. There was a pig play in ancient times, anyway, he spent a lot of money for his beloved woman.
"Old Zhou, calm down..." Xu Chen put his face in pain.
Zhou Xun was white and tender, with a delicate figure. When Xu Chen shook his butt, Xiao Zhou knew how to stick out his back. The disadvantage was that he was extremely vicious and often bit him.
Zhou Xun's bright eyes inadvertently glanced at the princess and Gao Yuanyuan, a woman with a stinky face and a silly girl.
Xiao Zhou raised his eyes, held the bad brother with his white and tender hands, pouted his small and exquisite back, and kissed the bad brother on the lips.
The touch was cold, Zhou Xun carefully warmed the bad brother's lips, stared at the princess and questioned: "Xu Chen is with you every day, can't you buy him a few clothes, I kissed his lips and they were cold!"
If you can't take good care of him, I can take care of him!
"..." The princess had a cold face, thinking that Zhou Xun was unreasonable, frowned her heroic eyebrows, and said coldly: "Treat if you are sick."
After thinking about it, she moved her body lightly to sit next to Xu Chen.
She stretched out her white and plump hand to test the temperature, close to Xu Chen's forehead, and said strangely: "You don't have a fever, why is it so cold."
"Sister Fei, Brother Xun, I'm fine." The corners of Xu Chen's mouth were harder to suppress than the AK47 in the Middle East battlefield.
What you can't get is always in turmoil. The princess, Zhou Xun, and Gao Yuanyuan are all love-brained. Xu Chen likes love-brained, so cute!
The princess and Zhou Xun don't get along, and the close sisters-in-law of the past have become enemies.
Besides, the last time they met, it was too awkward, so Zhou Xun left after staying for a while.
The princess didn't want to stay any longer either. She and Xu Chen would go to Hong Kong in a few days, and Zhou Xun and Gao Yuanyuan would fight for the days in the mainland.
She didn't like palace fighting. The little milk dog had plenty of capital, and fighting would only add troubles. Besides, if the little milk dog got annoyed, it would be more trouble than gain.
The princess and Zhou Xun left one after another.
Xu Chen and Gao Yuanyuan were left in the office.
Xu Chen stared at the little girl, and took the little girl to sit on his knees, his eyebrows twisted in pain, his eyes slightly red, and he blamed himself and said, "Comrade Xiao Gao, I am very fickle, you will be hurt, if you want to leave me, I will wish you happiness, you will always be my good sister."
Gao Yuanyuan is different from the princess and Zhou Xun. She is too young and immature. It will be very painful for the little girl to be trapped in the wrong emotional whirlpool.
"Brother Chen, I'm not hurt..." Gao Yuanyuan felt a sore nose.
She once thought that she would not feel sad when she saw Xu Chen being intimate with other women. Comrade Xiao Xu loved her and she also loved Comrade Xiao Xu.
But when she really saw Comrade Xiao Xu being intimate with other women, Gao Yuanyuan was very depressed and felt that she was very bad.
Wang Fei was a queen of the music world, Zhou Xun could make movies, and she could do nothing. She liked Comrade Xiao Xu very much, but Wang Fei and Zhou Xun both liked Comrade Xiao Xu very much.
"Comrade Xiao Xu, I feel so bad..." The little girl's nose was sour and her eyes were red.
She pursed her lips and thought of another thing. The little girl didn't care about her own discomfort.
The white and tender little hand grabbed Xu Chen's clothes on his chest, raised his white and round chin, and said nervously: "Comrade Xiao Xu, Director Lou came to the company just now. I didn't want to pretend to be a manager. Director Lou misunderstood me as a manager. I didn't mess things up, did I?"
"No, Comrade Xiao Gao performed very well today." Xu Chen hooked the little girl's white nose.
Xu Chen was very surprised that Gao Yuanyuan could take the initiative to come out and receive Lou Ye. She was just 18 years old, young and ignorant, and just wanted to have time to be in a daze, and she could chat with Lou Ye.
It seems that Lou Ye has a very good impression of her. Xu Chen thinks that the little girl is very powerful.
"Comrade Gao, do you like movies? It's not acting, but personally managing a movie, watching it from scratch, many people working together, and then harvesting joy." Xu Chen tried to make it simple.
"Comrade Xu, I don't..." Gao Yuanyuan subconsciously wanted to refuse, she really couldn't.
But looking at Comrade Xu's hopeful eyes, Gao Yuanyuan said seriously: "Comrade Xu, I don't know, but I am willing to learn for you, and I will do our first thing seriously."
"So good~" Xu Chen's heart was warm.
Staring at Gao Yuanyuan's plump and moist lips, Xu Chen leaned over and kissed her.
"Well, Brother Chen, I love you."
…………
Xu Chen had been busy for half a year, and at the end of 1997, he finally lived the life of Mr. Xu that he had always dreamed of.
Except for the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal, Xu Chen had nothing to do all day.
Of course, sweating and working hard were inevitable.
Xiao Zhou raised the white flag of surrender and took the initiative to call his sister-in-law: "Well...you take him back. I think that in addition to love, there must be a career in life. I want to do a career!"
In addition to persuading Zhou Xun, Xu Chen also took Gao Yuanyuan to learn about company management knowledge.
Although Gao Yuanyuan's math grades are very bad, who says that running a company must have good math grades? It's enough to be able to protect the official seal.
Time passed to December 23.
Xu Chen and the princess met at the airport and prepared to go to Hong Kong.
The last concert of Leslie Cheung's 1997 global concert was held in Hong Kong Hung Hom.
Although Leslie Cheung was very arrogant, Xu Chen still decided to rescue Brother Zhang.
The white wedding dress in this concert is one of the attempts. Sometimes he or she should not be so stuck.
In addition, Xu Chen is also preparing to sing "Rose Boy".
This song was created by Jolin Tsai in 2018.
Xu Chen hopes that Leslie Cheung can bravely fight back: "Don't let anyone change you/You can be you or you/Someone will love you wholeheartedly!"
In addition, after the concert, Xu Chen will also attend the Formosa Golden Melody Awards.
Warner Zhou Jianbin spent a lot of money this time, and Xu Chen won a lot of prizes in the Formosa Golden Melody Awards.
Xu Chen thinks Zhou Jianbo must have been deceived.
The Formosa Golden Melody Awards is now a small regional award for self-entertainment. The king and queen of singing have not appeared to receive the award for several consecutive sessions.
Xu Chen is at least a little king of Chinese pop music. He showed up to receive the award, and the Formosa Golden Melody Awards will be glorious!
At 6:30 pm, at the gate of Hong Kong Airport.
Xu Chen held the princess' hand and met Brother Zhang and Lao Tang.
The wind in Hong Kong in December was getting colder, and the two of them were breathing in cigarettes in the dim night.
"Feifei, he and he are as affectionate as you and me," Xu Chen supported Brother Zhang very much. Indians are trans-species, so transgender is nothing!
"Stop talking nonsense~" The princess narrowed her eyes and stared at him: "He and he are as affectionate as you and me?"
"Chenzi, Fei..." Brother Zhang saw Xu Chen with his sharp eyes, and his face showed the same awkwardness and embarrassment as a child.
