Chapter 208: Chapter 169: Yang Mi, I Misunderstood You_2
As long as it doesn't lose money, that's fine.
"What a great story!"
Chen Sicheng's eyes lit up when he heard it.
Is this also considered a good story?
Chen Pingsheng didn't know whether he was serious or just pretending, but right now, there wasn't even a script.
He was unable to judge.
"I want to shoot a story like this right now. How long will it take you to write the script?"
"A month, no, at most half a month!" Chen Sicheng promised.
Fine, this guy must be either a genius or a marvel.
He could wait a mere month.
Chen Sicheng had gained some fame by now, primarily in the drama circle.
Directing and acting in Northern Love brought him instant fame.
"If you let me direct this movie, I will charge ten million for the director's fee."
"Fine, first write the script. Once it's written, we'll talk about money. Tengying might lack other things, but money is definitely not one of them."
Once the script was out, he could use Golden Finger to see the results.
It obviously made more sense to talk about money then.
The up-and-coming director took the idea and plunged into writing the script.
Half a month later, he really did bring a complete script.
The movie title "The Disappearing He."
Can this title make money?
Chen Pingsheng didn't believe it at all.
However, his investment in the entertainment circle always relied on Golden Finger Grandpa.
No matter how fervently the new director spoke.
He wouldn't even bat an eyelid.
"Target analysis: The Disappearing He."
"Analyzing target: Please wait."
One second, two seconds, three seconds passed…
A row of golden letters appeared in front of him.
"Target analysis completed."
"Movie title: The Disappearing He."
"Filming duration: Eight months."
"Total investment: 120 million."
"Investment return: 700%~1000%"
"Top five in annual box office."
???
What's happening here?
He was just genuinely trying to give a heads up to his sister Chen Qi.
Then, the idea turned into a script and was made into a movie.
Invest 120 million and at least eight to ten billion could be made in return.
Is he the genius or is this Northern Love director the genius?
What a marvel.
Chen Pingsheng was sure, this Northern Love director was definitely a great talent in the movie industry; a mere idea could turn into such a profitable film.
His Tengying wanted to break into the top-tier movie companies, and wasn't this kind of talent exactly what they lacked?
Why does Huayi have a market value of over six hundred billion? It's because they have Feng Kucha, Director Feng, who constantly holds the box office championship.
Now, his Tengying Entertainment already has Yang Mi and Zhao Liying, two top-tier actors in the drama circle.
If they could add a top-tier commercial film director, wouldn't the market value really go up?
Chen Pingsheng coughed and asked, "Your script isn't bad, I want to know if you have thought about signing with Tengying!"
Chen Sicheng paused slightly. Had he already become that desirable?
He didn't even know about it himself, but since that was the case, it was time to raise his price.
"Boss, you might not know, but my directing is very expensive."
"How expensive?"
"To have me direct a movie, you need at least twelve million for the director's fee." Find your next adventure on m_v l|e'm-p| y r
Chen Sicheng made a high initial offer, thinking Chen Pingsheng would bargain.
Little did he know the surprise would come so quickly.
"Twelve million is too little."
Chen Pingsheng said, "Here's the deal, from now on, for any movie you direct, I'll give you twenty million for the director's fee, plus a certain percentage of the film's earnings. How about that?"
Chen Sicheng: "Boss, are you kidding?"
"Do you think I need to joke?"
"Then I'll consider it for three days. No, I don't even need one day to think it over, I'll sign right now."
The contracts weren't even prepared yet, what's to sign?
Chen Pingsheng asked him to wait a few hours.
He had the legal department draw up the corresponding contracts.
This guy was absolutely a film genius, he wouldn't be surprised at all if he surpassed Feng Kucha in the future.
Truly a bit of a surprise.
It seemed he had wronged Yang Mi; this woman was still bringing fortune to him.
No matter what, he had to give her a bonus later.
Golden Finger Grandpa had seen it, so there would never be any mistake.
It said the movie could make seven to eight billion, so it definitely could.
If he could earn so much, why not distribute some bonus?
Chen Pingsheng called Yang Mi in; Yang Mi was just sitting outside, leisurely sipping a cup of health tea with her legs crossed.
She really knew how to live life.
But as soon as she came in, she couldn't wait to ask, "How about it, Chen Pingsheng, can we invest now?"
"Yes, we definitely can."
Chen Pingsheng said, "This time I called you in not to talk about the movie, but because the boss has decided to give you a bonus."
A bonus?
Yang Mi's forehead was full of question marks.
What had she done to deserve a bonus?
Counting the days she had spent at Tengying, besides frustrating the boss so he couldn't eat or sleep well and occasionally rolling her eyes at him,
she hadn't done anything!
And yet, she was eligible for a bonus?
Yang Mi certainly wouldn't foolishly voice her true thoughts; would that not be idiotic?
Who wouldn't be happy to get a bonus?
"How much, how much are you planning to give me?"
Chen Pingsheng held up two fingers for her to see.
"Two hundred thousand? That's not bad at all, thank you, boss."
Yang Mi was quite practical; when there was a bonus, he was Boss Chen, and without a bonus, he was Chen Pingsheng.
Chen Pingsheng shook his head. "You might have misunderstood, I'm giving you twenty million."
"Twenty million?"
Yang Mi extended her delicate hand and touched his forehead, "Chen Pingsheng, are you sure you don't have a fever?"
Chen Pingsheng wanted to give her twenty million?
Yang Mi didn't believe a word of it; she had been at Tengying for a month now.
She was well aware of what she had done. Besides irritating the boss daily, had she done any real work?
None at all.
If that was all it took to get a twenty million bonus, then she knew how to proceed in the future.
