Chapter 551 I’m sorry to pay off debt collection?
In early July, just as Li Ye was about to leave school, Director Xiong from Changan Film Factory suddenly came to Beijing University to find Li Ye.
"Oh, fortunately, I came in time, brother. If we missed it one day later, it was all my fault. I've been busy these two months, and I'm running around the country."
Director Xiong was obviously hot, so he grabbed the front of his open shirt and used it as a fan, but the sweat on his face still flowed down his neck, soaking his white vest.
Li Ye brought him a cup and poured him a cup of cold boiled water.
"I said Brother Xiong, you have to complain to the factory too! Since our movie was released, you have been out for almost two months, right? If not, let's change someone to let you take a break, right?"
Since the release of "Lonely Army in the Countryside", Director Xiong has been coordinating various trivial matters outside. When he met Li Ye last month, he complained that he had "passed through the house without entering", and was so tired that he complained.
But today Director Xiong did not complain, but laughed and said, "Change someone? There is a group of people queuing up to try to change me, huh, they think beautifully
Brother Li Ye, is it easy for us to plant trees and water them in the past two years? Now it’s time to bear fruit. I’m not going to brag about you. If I don’t give me a deputy director at the end of this year, it’s going to be unreasonable.”
""
OK! It’s Li Ye who is sloppy. "Lonely Army in the Countryside" has been more than two years from the preliminary preparations to the filming and release. Now the box office is booming, and it’s time for everyone to enjoy the results and reward them according to their merits.
"By the way, brother Li Ye, there are two more things,"
Director Xiong picked up the glass of water that Li Ye poured him, drank it down, and then said: This time the factory asked me to visit the capital and brought a batch of gifts to your literary club.
But this day was a coincidence, and the school was on vacation. Do you see if you are unloading at school now? Or should I find a place to save it and send it to you next semester?"
Li Ye thought for a moment and said, "Let's save the school! There are still a few students in the literary club that haven't left, and there are still left-behind teachers in the school."
Director Xiong smiled and said, "Okay, I'll have someone take it off for you right away. There is another thing I want to give it to you separately. I'll just send the car to your house later."
"Brother Xiong, don't be so polite. We've known each other for a day or two."
Li Ye said he was welcome, but in fact he was not polite at all. Director Xiong has made a lot of good things for him over the years, and he still brought invoices in a regular way. He is not a fool.
However, Li Ye and Director Xiong left the dormitory building and saw a full 130 truck.
Li Ye swallowed: "Brother Xiong, is this what you mean by visiting gift?"
It’s not that Li Ye makes a fuss, but that there are too many gifts.
Before, Director Xiong sent some local specialties to the Gujun Literature Club on a seasonal basis, just a few baskets.
But this time it was a car, and it was just a specialty, as well as a lot of white wine, canned food, wheat milk essence, etc. Li Ye even saw dozens of boxes of Pengcheng Red Bull.
If this thing is charged with a bribe, it can meet the standard of "huge amount".
Li Ye couldn't help asking, "Brother Xiong, tell me the truth. If you come to me today, is there anything wrong?"
"Hey, brother, you are a smart person, and I don't hide it from you,"
Director Xiong said frankly: "Those are the gods! Overseas audiences have written many letters to the factory, all saying that our movies have responded well locally. Film festivals in several countries have sent us invitations to participate.
What overseas box office data Mr. Pei sent us is also amazing.
So the factory always urges me to ask if the overseas dividends that I had agreed to be studied?”
“Overseas dividends? Research and research?”
Li Ye was a little surprised.
"Lonely Army in the Countryside" was decided to be released at the same time in the mainland and overseas at the beginning of filming, so it must have an overseas box office.
Because Li Ye's "The Flying of the Wind" sold three copyrights, it was rumored by many people that Changan Film Studio initially made a request to share some of the overseas box office.
There are currently no overseas promotion channels in the mainland, so Changan Film Studio didn’t have much hope at that time, just to have a date but no dates to make a shot.
After all, no matter how good the sales in the mainland are, it is RMB. Pei Wencong invested so much foreign exchange, so he needed to recover the overseas box office.
However, what surprised Changan Film Factory was that Pei Wencong agreed to distribute 10% of the profit to Changan Film Factory, making people call him "Boss Pei generous."
But today Director Xiong suddenly said something about "research and research". So some people are unsatisfied with desires. Do you think ten percent is too small?
In fact, Pei Wencong is a standard businessman, he is not very generous. Li Ye is generous.
But no matter how generous Li Ye is, he cannot spoil the problems of some people!
So Li Ye smiled and said, "Why, some people in your factory think that 10% is too small?"
"No, no, Brother Li, you are wrong," Director Xiong said quickly: "It's not that you think there are too few, but that you're afraid that there are too many people will not admit it.
It was originally expected to settle the bill at the end of June, but it was early July and there was no movement yet. I originally wanted to find Mr. Huo Renqiang to find out, but he has been on vacation these days.
So I thought about asking you brothers, when will you send money?”
""
Li Ye was stunned for a few seconds before he said funny: "Brother Xiong, you can formally ask the Hong Kong side for such a thing! Huo Renqiang is on vacation, so there should be others who stay behind, right?"
Director Xiong sighed and said, "I'm really embarrassed to ask them directly! Our factory held a conference a few days ago, and everyone said that Boss Pei was righteous and invested tens of millions of dollars in Chang'an City."
"I'm going to tell you brothers, two years ago, when we met Chang'an Film Factory, Beijing, Shanghai Stock Exchange, Bayi and Ji Provincial Film Factory, we looked at us with our noses on our back, and then we could only roll up our sleeves~"
"But now you ask, who dares to underestimate our Chang'an Film Factory? From now on, mainland film factories will not be the four majors, but the five majors."
""
Director Xiong said a lot, but the theme is the same - because Pei Wencong, our Chang'an Film Factory is proud.
In the 1980s, the film and television industry in the mainland was very underdeveloped, with only so much money a year and only a few movies shooting ability, so everyone's life was tight.
But Changan Film Factory suddenly had a lot of investment from foreign rich people and became stronger.
"Oh, I'm going to tell you brother, in the past two months, our factory has made more money in the first ten years and we have to invest a lot of money in this movie, but we haven't invested a lot of money!"
"Mr. Pei has given such a great kindness. Now we still have to ask for money from overseas. We really can't speak up!"
"and"
Director Xiong looked at Li Ye and whispered: "I'll tell you the truth, brother, the other families are staring at Mr. Pei! If one of us doesn't know what to do,"
""
Looking at Director Xiong who was a director of Qiqiaiai, Li Ye seemed to see the small suppliers that supply to large enterprises decades later.
He was obviously a natural creditor, but he could only smile at other people's faces, and even said things in a slight voice. He was cautious and afraid of offending the financial owner, so he replaced his supplier.
Don’t Changan Film Studio want 10% of overseas dividends nowadays?
No, mainland filmmakers are still very straight now!
They were afraid that their colleagues would pledge away the rich man Pei Wencong, so they wanted to pass Li Ye and not hurt the harmony of Tantan.
The film "Lonely Army in the Countryside" opened up the pattern of Chang'an Film Factory, and they also hoped that there would be a second and third.
Other film factories must have the same idea. Maybe they have promised many preferential conditions at this time, otherwise the Hong Kong side, which has always followed the rules, suddenly postponed the agreed overseas dividends!
"Brother Xiong, I will ask you about this later, but I think! No matter who we work with in the future, our own backs will still be straight."
"Oh, I know you are a friend of mine, so you have to do this."
Director Xiong happily held Li Ye's shoulder, but obviously did not listen to Li Ye's words.
Yes, the status of film investors is very special, let alone a righteous person like Pei Wencong?
...........
Two hours later, Li Ye called Aqiang.
"Is it Mr. Huo?"
""
The other end of the phone was quiet for five seconds before Aqiang's voice rang out nervously.
"I am Huo Renqiang, are you Mr. Li?"
"I am Li Ye, A Qiang, what's wrong with you? Why is this voice?"
Boss, aren’t you scared by you? You call me “Mr. Huo” well? In gangster movies, this is the rhythm of getting a lunch box!
