Zhong Shi was completely unable to keep up with Lu Jian’s thinking loop: “What do you know?”

"How much do Wei Shengjin know about our plan?"

"Just talk about the outline."

"Is it possible that it will be destroyed now?" Lu Jian raised his arm and waved it, "Destroy all without leaving any traces, crush the hard disk."

“???”

"It's too late to explain." Lu Jian grabbed Zhong Shi's shoulders, "If we are friends, you will do this first and ensure that there will be no traces on Yimao."

"Are you afraid that we will pry it away? Like Huang Meiling?" Zhong Shi shook his head firmly, "No, we have a strict confidentiality agreement. This story belongs to yours. If the project is not agreed, it is still yours. Yimao cannot do such a thing. If it really does, I will appear in court to testify for you."

"Old Zhong! I don't have time to explain." Lu Jian pinched Zhong Shi's shoulder, "I have backups here. If I continue to cooperate, there will be no loss. You just need to listen to mine and destroy it."

“…”

"Is that OK?"

"Okay..." Zhong Shi nodded helplessly, "It's all in Zhao Lu's hard drive. I'll go in and ask him for his computer first."

"Thank you." Lu Jian remakes Zhong Shi.

Zhong Shi begged again: "Don't give up..."

"I'll try to endure..."

The two of them returned to the conference room again, and the first thing they heard was

"Mr. Wei, the plan has been sent to your email address."

Project manager Zhao Lu couldn't wait to show his loyalty.

Lu Jian's face darkened: "Fuck."

"What's wrong with Mr. Lu?" Wei Shengjin opened his laptop and smiled, "Shouldn't I understand the company's projects?"

"It's okay, sit down." Lu Jian waved his hand and sat opposite Wei Shengjin.

Zhong Shi also sat back and then entered the formal agenda. Zhao Lu introduced the project situation and progress to Wei Shengjin. Wei Shengjin was also constantly looking through the project plan.

After Zhao Lu's introduction, Zhong Shi finished.

"There is no problem with the review now, the content has been finalized, the budget has been completed, and the contract process can be entered." Zhong Shi turned to Wei Shengjin, "Do you have anything else to know about here?"

"It's pretty good, all are pretty good." Wei Shengjin nodded, closed the computer, and turned to Lu Jian, "But it looks... not easy to sell?"

Zhong Shi didn't dare to let Lu Jian answer the conversation, and quickly said: "We have evaluated this point. Lu Jian's box office effect plus black comedy and suspense elements have enough box office support."

"But this is still a bit brain-burning, right?" Wei Shengjin smiled, "Anyway, we all know there are risks here."

"There are certainly risks when making movies." Zhong Shibi said, "In ten movies, 7 losses, 2 losses and 1 draw, and what we bet on is a big profit."

"Of course I know this." Wei Shengjin turned on the contract draft, "But the popular business model now is to share interests and spread risks evenly. I don't oppose gambling, but in this contract, it seems that the risks are completely borne by Yimao unilaterally."

The cube brow frowned and became more sensitive.

In the modern film business model, betting has become commonplace, especially for such high-risk subjects. Either the producer delegates power to the investors, asks them to select people, lets them implant advertisements, and earns a labor fee by themselves. If the producer wants to be independent, he or she will probably sign this bet.

"Do we have a risk assessor here?" Wei Shengjin said in a glance. "This project is equivalent to all the money we paid, and at the same time we gave up all the power. What should we do if something happens? Is anyone responsible for the movie?"

Wei Shengjin finally looked at Lu Jian: "Are you?"

Before Lu Jian could speak, Zhong Shi said first: "I'll take charge of it. I'll follow this project from beginning to end."

Wei Shengjin nodded seriously: "I believe in your determination, but this is not a matter of determination. I have to make up for it if I lose money. Mr. Zhong, are you going to make up for it personally?"

Zhong Shi immediately said: "I can use my annual salary for the past two years to make up for it."

"Old Zhong!" Lu Jian was about to explode, "Are you sick?"

Zhong Shi raised his hand and ignored Lu Jian at all. He just looked at Wei Shengjin and said in an almost begging attitude: "It is not easy to encounter a good project. We have to believe each other. This is the basis of cooperation. Now Lu Jian believes in me, and I believe in Lu Jian. This sounds quite simple, but it is actually a very difficult thing. I don't interfere in other projects, I just want to be fully responsible for this project. This is my limit. Mr. Wei."

It is obvious that Zhong Shi is CEO, and Wei Sheng has just landed, but the current situation seems to be a migrant worker bowing to the big slave.

"Mr. Zhong, don't talk like this." Wei Shengjinke politely slowed down his tone, "Good project, this is of course a good project, but at present, what we, Yimao, needs the most is a profitable project. I'm very clear. I don't object to this project, but only one thing is that Lu Jian is responsible for the box office. He should guarantee at least 500 million yuan. Isn't that too much?"

After all, he is a super manager, and this business logic cannot be refuted.

Although Zhong Shi has limited means, his ideas are extremely clear: "I don't think the director should be put on such pressure. Under box office anxiety, they will have to make some... dangerous compromises, which will have a terrifying impact on the quality of the film. A director who has been proven to be talented is here, and everyone supports the project. Why must this be done?"

Wei Shengjin shook his head and said, "I'm in a dilemma for you to force chicken soup against business logic."

Zhong Shi replied without stopping: "Then I talk about business logic. There are dozens of companies that are rushing to invest in Lu Jian's movies. Why should we choose us to cooperate without giving generous conditions?"

Zhong Shi was already red in his eyes. He had never encountered such a good project, and secondly, he and Lu Jian have paid too much. He must stick to the seeds of such a good movie.

There is obviously an irreconcilable contradiction between Lu Jian and Wei Shengjin. The only way is to prevent Lu Jian from opening his mouth and blocking all the bullets by himself.

"Old Zhong, calm down. You are too kind and may not know this person very well." Wei Shengjin patted Zhong Shi and pointed at Lu Jian slowly. "He once violently poached me from me and used the political trend to destroy a company. In your eyes, he may be a pure director and wanted to make a good movie, but in my eyes, he has a plan."

Wei Shengjin said, his face slightly lowered and looked at Lu Jian with his eyes narrowed: "He doesn't care so much about money, but he cares about the recent reputation of "Lady War". He wants to get rid of the label of kitsch, but everyone in this industry knows that if he is not kitsch, he will not make money, so he needs to find a big funder and use the money of the funder to help him shoot a high-scoring blockbuster. Simply put, he is using our money to wash his own face."

Wei Shengjin patted Zhong Shi again: "Don't be sold and help people count the money."

Everyone sighed, followed by a complete silence.

Lu Jian also squinted his eyes at Wei Shengjin.
