Chapter 244 You should understand the situation first!
the next day.

Chen An took a car and arrived at the hotel booked by the other party.

Originally, it was Chen An who invited the other party, but the other party had already made preparations and invited Chen An over.

"Director Chen, I've heard a lot about you. It's my first meeting and you look just as young and promising as you appear on TV!"

As soon as he entered the door, Chen An heard a loud voice.

Following the direction of the voice, I saw that the huge room was luxuriously decorated, with thick carpets on the floor and magnificent decorations. A huge round table was placed in the middle, and the person who was speaking was sitting at the innermost part.

A middle-aged man wearing a T-shirt inside and a suit jacket over it, with a Zhou Runfa-style slicked back hair, stood up and clapped as he spoke.

She had an armband with something unknown but obviously expensive on it, it was shiny, and she also had several gold rings on her hand.

It perfectly fits Chen An's stereotype of a nouveau riche coal boss.

"Boss Xu?"

Chen An walked into the room and asked curiously. Zhao Xiong followed him in and closed the door.

The middle-aged man laughed and nodded, saying, "That's right, Mr. Chen, I have admired you for a long time. I, a rough man, admire artists like you. We have a chance to meet today, and we must have a good drink together."

"Just a little drink is enough, I have things to do."

Chen An refused without thinking.

Boss Xu didn't care about Chen An's rejection. Instead, he said, "That's right. Mr. Chen's career is booming and it would be bad if it was delayed."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and except for the woman sitting next to him, the other two people in the room took the initiative to sit next to Chen An.

But Chen An stopped him, "Mr. Xu, this is not necessary, let's talk about business."

Although the two women arranged by Boss Xu were both good-looking and could be considered pretty beauties, Chen An didn't buy it.

There's someone in my family who pays my salary every day, but he doesn't even look at this kind of stuff.

"Mr. Chen, these girls all admire your talent and want to get to know you. They have no other ideas."

"There are so many girls who admire my talent. There are long queues from home and abroad. They all want to meet me, but I can't meet them all."

Chen An didn't give any face to this at all.

After all, you didn’t beg others to invest in you before. If you want to invest in Lightyear Media’s movie, this is the opportunity I give you!
However, the girl's preparation could not be wasted. Looking at the other party's embarrassed expression, she pointed at Zhao Xiong next to her.

"My brother Zhao is also very talented. You guys might want to get to know him."

Based on the principle of not wasting, we can also give Zhao Xiong some benefits.

Boss Xu looked a little embarrassed when he heard Chen An's refusal, but then he burst into laughter when he heard Chen An's words.

"Hahaha, listen to Mr. Chen, this level is not enough."

The two women also sat next to Zhao Xiong.

When Zhao Xiong saw that there was such a good opportunity, he didn't care about what the other party said and felt that he had followed the right boss.

He just took them in his arms and without hesitation, let two of them sit on his lap.

He touched her all over. Chen An looked at her, lit a cigarette and laughed.

"Is that the lady with the dream next to Mr. Xu?"

"Xiao Man, Mr. Chen has asked, why don't you say hello?"

After hearing this, the woman who had been sitting next to Boss Xu and had not spoken a word finally spoke up:
"Hello, Mr. Chen. It's an honor to meet you, an international director. My name is Yu Shiman."

I've never heard of her name, but she's really good-looking, with a nice figure. She's not very old, and she has a pure air about her, yet she dresses a bit seductively. It's a very unique combination, no wonder Boss Xu is so willing to spend money on her.

"Mr. Xu has a good eye, but filming still requires a certain level of acting skills. Does Miss Yu have that?" "Don't worry, Mr. Chen. Xiaoman graduated from an art college and has good acting skills. I know that."

Boss Xu hugged the other person and moved his hand down. The woman in his arms moaned coquettishly. It seems his acting skills are pretty good.

Chen An took a deep puff of the half-smoked cigarette and put it in the ashtray. "That's fine. We at Lightyear Media have accepted Mr. Xu's investment, but some requirements will be written into the contract."

"Heroine?"

Yu Shiman in the other person's arms couldn't help but ask.

"The heroine!" Chen An nodded in confirmation.

"Godfather~" Before Boss Xu could say anything, the woman in his arms started to act coquettishly.

But Boss Xu was no fool after all. He comforted the woman in his arms and asked, "What's your request?"

"I will provide the script for the film and the copyright of the film will also belong to me, but you will still have the right to profit."

It’s better to make it clear in advance. The female lead can be given to you and you will make money, but the copyright belongs to Chen An.

But what Chen An didn't expect was that the other party didn't care about this. "No problem, as long as Mr. Chen is willing to take over the production, but from what Mr. Chen said, the director is not Mr. Chen?"

"Yes, I will provide the script and the company will produce the movie. The director will also be from the company."

"It's not appropriate, even though the money isn't much, but I came here for Mr. Chen. It's not good to let someone else direct it, right?"

"You can rest assured. I personally selected the directors and wrote the scripts myself. The directors of the company have all worked with Jiang Wen before. There will be another movie released after the previous one. If you are not sure, you can make a decision after watching it."

At this point, Chen An also explained to the other party, "My current salary in Hollywood is 20 million US dollars per film plus dividends, and this is when I did not write the script myself. The previous "Time Clue" was invested by four parties and I did not charge the director's fee. The production cost of the film was 20 million US dollars."

The meaning is very clear, let the other party understand the situation.

"At present, the company also has other directorial works. I wrote the screenplay for "Looking for the Gun" directed by Diao Yinan, with a production cost of 2 million and a box office of over 11 million. "The Labyrinth of the Heart" directed by Chen Wei, which is still in production, was also written by me. If you are interested, you can also go and have a look. There is also a movie directed by Zhang Guorong that is currently being filmed."

Having said that, Chen An didn't say anything else and he would not participate in the directing.

All that can be provided is the production by Lightyear Media and the script provided by Chen An himself.

After listening to some of Chen An's explanations, Boss Xu also felt his scalp tingling.

In fact, he didn't know much about it. He only knew how powerful the other party was after listening to the introduction of Mr. Lin from Shanghai.

Later I asked some directors with small investments.

Now when I hear that a movie pay of 20 million US dollars is more than 100 million!

However, since the other party has come, I am still willing to accept the investment. It’s just that I am not the director of the other party, so the risk is a bit high.

The woman in his arms immediately started to act coquettishly when she saw the other party's hesitation. In the end, Boss Xu made a decision. Those directors said that Chen An's script was also very good, and they had originally planned to make a loss.

"Hahaha, then I'll listen to Mr. Chen. As long as Xiaoman is the heroine, it'll be fine. I'm an outsider and I can't compare to Mr. Chen in terms of expertise. I'll listen to Mr. Chen!"

"Well, I'll make the arrangements so that Mr. Xu won't suffer any loss."

Chen An smiled. Although he didn't ask for the other party's investment, he couldn't let go of such a sucker. It was a unique opportunity to give it to his directors for training.

This movie, produced with an investment of 30 million, is a perfect opportunity for Chen Wei to practice his skills.

To be honest, even if there is a script now, it is impossible for Chen An to give tens of millions to Diao Yinan or Chen Wei for filming.

After all, the other party doesn't have the same picture in their mind as you do, so they can modify it to suit their own style.

A good script doesn’t necessarily make a good movie.
