My Side Job is a Trader

After Ai Xiaoqi made such a fuss, Li Guosheng's mood became particularly bad. What's worse, the consequences of falling out with the big benefactor have yet to come.

The quarrel between the two was very loud just now, and Li Yingchao, Li Guosheng's assistant outside the door, also heard it clearly. After Ai Xiaoqi left, Li Yingchao walked in, comforted Li Guosheng, and then said worriedly : "Director, will our falling out with Jiaqi affect our filming?"

Li Guosheng snorted and said: "I hate being threatened the most. These capitals really feel that they are great because they are rich. There are many rich people in the world. Even if they withdraw their capital, at worst, we will go find them again." Some investments are nothing more than delays for a few days. But they shouldn't withdraw their capital and leave just because of a quarrel, right?"

Li Guosheng said this very without confidence, so he told Li Yingchao to be mentally prepared, even if Jiaqi Film and Television suddenly withdraws its capital, it will not be in a hurry.

The next day, Ai Xiaoqi brought Lin Zhenzhen over again to find Li Guosheng, and said, "Director Li, I'm sorry, I was Meng Lang yesterday, and now I'll bring Zhenzhen here for you to have a look and see if she's suitable for you." suitable."

Li Guosheng glanced at Lin Zhenzhen's typical Internet celebrity face, then shook his head and said, "No, her appearance is not suitable for costume dramas."

Ai Xiaoqi said: "Is Director Li being too prejudiced? I see that there are many costume dramas filmed by Internet celebrities, and even Fan Bing often acts in costume dramas. Isn't it pretty good?"

Li Guosheng said: "The role of Huang Rong is a typical Jiangnan woman, so the most suitable actor is a sweet-looking actor. Although Lin Zhenzhen is also very beautiful, she is more suitable for those high-cold roles like Yujie."

"Okay, Director Li, don't make excuses anymore, since it doesn't work, forget it, I'll bother you today."

Ai Xiaoqi stopped Li Guosheng's long speech, and took Lin Zhenzhen away very simply.

After the two left, Li Guosheng asked Li Yingchao to contact Lu Lu to formally sign the contract.

Li Xueer was living in her apartment with Lu Lu and Yayi at this time.

The three women were busy preparing meals. Lu Lu received a call from Li Yingchao, informing them to sign the contract formally in the afternoon.

"It's done. We'll go over and sign the contract this afternoon. Congratulations, little Xue'er. I didn't expect to receive the role of the female lead in this second play. There's a lot to do in the future."

Li Xueer said modestly: "Where, it's just luck, and thanks to Sister Lulu for helping to contact me."

Yayi also booed: "Sister Xue'er, if you become popular in the future, don't forget about me."

"Okay, don't milk me anymore, the horoscope has not been written yet, let's talk about it later."

In the afternoon, the three of them came to the crew. Lu Lu went through the contract first, and after confirming that there were no problems, she told Li Xueer that she could sign with confidence.

But just as Li Xueer was writing, Li Yingchao came to Li Guosheng's ear and whispered, "Director, they have withdrawn their capital."

Li Guosheng frowned, but soon relaxed, telling him to keep quiet.

Li Xueer's ears moved, stopped, and looked at Li Guosheng with a smile on her face.

Upon seeing this, Li Guosheng knew what she might have seen, so he came over and explained: "I'm sorry, Ms. Li, because one of our investors suddenly withdrew the funds, the current funding of the crew may be a little tight, but please rest assured, what should be given I won’t lose a single penny.”

Lu Lu asked curiously: "Did something happen? It's rare for ordinary investors to withdraw their funds suddenly!"

After all, Li Yingchao is young and energetic. When he heard the question, he blurted out: "What else could be the matter? Of course, someone wants to use his identity as a producer to randomly arrange traffic stars into the crew. The director knows the consequences of doing so." , so he resolutely rejected the other party's request, and as a result, he was naturally unwilling to continue investing in us."

While several people were talking, Ai Xiaoqi appeared. She first sized up Li Xueer and the others, and then said to Li Guosheng: "Director Li, let me make one final confirmation. If you go back on your word, I will revoke the decision to divest. Why not?" Do you think about it again?"

Li Guosheng said unceremoniously: "Miss Ai, please go ahead, we still have to sign a contract, so we won't welcome you."

"snort!"

Ai Xiaoqi glared at them and left angrily.

"She seems to be the investment director of Jiaqi Film and Television. I have seen her from afar."

Lu Lu looked at Ai Xiaoqi's back and said.

Li Guosheng apologized: "Sorry everyone, I made you laugh, let's continue."

Lu Lu asked: "Is it convenient for Director Li to reveal how much investment is left in the crew?"

Li Guosheng nodded at Li Yingchao, and Li Yingchao said: "At present, about 10 million yuan is ready to be put in place, but it needs to be used for renting venues and inviting group performances. According to estimates, the total investment in this drama is 3000 yuan. We plan to find investment while filming, and if nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to find enough investment before the current funds are almost used up.”

Li Xueer glanced at Lu Lu and asked, "Sister Lu Lu, does our company still have an investment budget? Or let Ruihua Film and Television invest in some."

Lu Lu said: "I'm not too sure about this, but it may not be too big, because the company's plan for this year has already been set, and it is currently being implemented step by step."

Li Xueer has a good impression of this director who dares to be uncompromising with the capital. From this, we can know that the TV series he shoots will most likely not be "sacred dramas". street.

Li Xueer thought for a while and asked, "Director Li, can I invest in this filming?"

Although Li Xueer was recommended by a friend, she did not tell him her true identity, so Li Guosheng was surprised by this. This is not something a rookie actor can easily do.

"What does Miss Li mean? You mean you invest in your own name?"

Li Xueer smiled and said: "What? Can't you? Others can bring money into the group, so can I. When the time comes, give me the identity of a producer. I promise, at least during the filming, I will not let people disturb you .”

"Miss Li, it's like this. What we may need is 20 million, and there may even be a little more. This is not a small number."

"I know, it's not a lot, I don't even need to discuss it with my husband, I can make up my own mind."

Li Xueer replied with some disdain.

Li Guosheng was a little excited, and then confirmed again: "Miss Li, this is not a joke, are you sure you want to invest 20 million?"

Li Xueer nodded and said: "Okay, but I have one request, that is, don't be stingy. For actors, props, costumes, make-up and even post-production, what I need is excellence. If the funds are not enough, I can add more. The final income will be based on the proportion of the investment." What do you think?"

Li Guosheng said: "It's really suitable, you are my confidant, I just want to be able to shoot a TV series that does not fool the audience."

"Okay, then let's make a deal like this. Let's draw up an investment agreement later. Of course, my salary must not be less."
