Chapter Thirty-Six: One Billion
"How many have you found?"
"I went to three companies this morning."
Three companies are unwilling to release them in a row. It seems that their movie is really difficult...
After hearing this number, Duane was silent for a while and suddenly said, "Lend me your phone to use it."
Shu Yu is a very qualified female driver. Her hands didn't leave the steering wheel at all, and just said, "I take them in my suit pocket."
Duan touched his nose, a little doubted whether Shu Yu didn't treat herself as a man: Where can a woman say "take it yourself" to a man? Isn't this encouraging the other party to take advantage of her?
Fortunately, Du An was very disciplined and touched his hand from Shu Yu's suit pocket, took out his cell phone, and then took out a black phone book half a palm-sized from the pocket of his jacket lined. He opened it and found a phone call on it. After dialing the number with Shu Yu's cell phone, he held the phone in his right hand and placed it in his ear, and supported his elbow on the ridge of the car window, looking out the window.
The guardrails on both sides of the road galloped backwards, and passers-by riding bicycles on the non-motorized vehicle lane disappeared into the window in the blink of an eye, and appeared in the rearview mirror the next moment.
The phone was also connected.
"Hey, Mr. Qi, it's me, Duan... Well, I'm back... Where are you now?... Are you free today? I want to talk to you about something... OK, then I'll go there in the afternoon."
After Duan finished speaking the phone, he stuffed his phone back into Shu Yu's suit pocket.
Shu Yu looked at the road ahead and asked, "Who?"
"Qi Sheng."
Duane said: "Their company has the ability to issue, so I'll see if it can be done through him. Today we have to fly to Beijin. You can find someone to buy air tickets."
Shu Yu remembered: Qi Sheng from Xiaoma Film and Television, who had watched their open-air screening of "Saw" in Shanghai, was also because of Qi Sheng's relationship that "Saw" was finally released successfully, and a series of things happened next.
Shu Yu asked casually: "Why did you have his phone number? He contacted you later? When did it happen?"
“More than a month ago.”
More than a month ago...
That was the time when the fake evidence incident was the hottest.
Shu Yu suddenly pursed her lips, and for the first time he drove, his eyes left the road ahead. He glanced at Du An fiercely, and three words popped out from the gap between his teeth.
"Son of a bitch."
Xiaoma Film and Television, Qi Sheng, fake certificate incident, Du An...
She knew that this bastard had a solution at that time!
...
Xiaoma Film and Television's headquarters is in the capital Beijin.
It was already evening after taking the afternoon flight from Nanyang to Beijin. The two of them found something to eat on the way, contacted Qi Sheng again, and took a taxi to Qi Sheng's house.
Qi Sheng's family is located in Sunshine City, Dongcheng City, opposite the Worksports Department, and the geographical location is unique. On Du'an Road, he asked the driver about the housing prices here. The average price of over 10,000 yuan made him frightened - Nanyang is the provincial capital, and the economic level is quite high, but the housing prices are only more than 3,000 yuan now, and Beijin is more than three times more than three times.
At the same time, Du An also appreciated the ability of the brother of Beijin to talk.
"...Don't think it's expensive. Why do you say that this is the emperor's feet? There's a reason for it. Just this price, I'm sorry if I don't increase it three or four times! This area is so good. I'm almost at the Forbidden City after taking two steps... Hey, where did you come from? Are you here on a business trip or a trip?" The driver said with a spit, and Du An asked, and the brother wanted to reply to the seventeen or eighteen sentences, and from time to time he glanced at Shu Yu sitting behind from the central rearview mirror.
Duan looked out the window and looked at the wide road, one taller than the other, as if he was in a competition, with a slightly melancholy expression, "It's from Nanyang."
He is a bit introverted. He couldn't handle Beijin's brother's enthusiasm, and he couldn't help but regret why he had to ask such a question just now. At the same time, he was a little envious of Shu Yu's intelligence - she had already closed her eyes and pretended to be sleeping.
This guy couldn't stop his mouth at all.
"Nan Yang..."
The brother ejaculated his tone and seemed to think of something. He suddenly paused, "I have been to Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, Zijin Mountain and other things, which are good, not bad." He said it, but he looked disapproving, "By the way, how much housing prices in Nanyang are now?"
After finally getting there, Duan paid the fare and quickly pulled Shu Yu, who was sleeping in the car.
Beijin's brother was so good at talking. He was almost dizzy when he passed by. Until he sat on the sofa at Qi Sheng's house, it seemed that there were hundreds of ducks clattering in Du An's ears.
"The hospitality is not good, there is only tea at home, so let's make do with it."
Qi Sheng brought out three cups of fruit tea, put it on the coffee table and sat opposite the two of them. He smiled and looked at Du An, and added: "No need to mention the evaluation, anyway, my skills are just like this."
This bald thin bamboo pole obviously still holds a little resentment when he was stunned by Du An's combination of punches in Shanghai.
Duane picked up the fruit tea and took a sip, looking at the surrounding environment: the room was mainly black and white, elegant and generous; the living room was very spacious, with a 40-50 square meters in shape, with several sofas and coffee tables arranged in an orderly manner, potted plants were placed on the corners, and a 42-inch LCD TV was hung against the wall.
Duane picked up the fruit tea and took it, calmly licked his lips, as if he was savoring the taste of the fruit tea.
Qi Sheng, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly felt as if he was facing a great enemy. His whole body tensed up and his eyes shot tightly like a falcon. He clearly remembered that when he was in Shanghai, Du An's expression and movements were exactly the same as now. Then this guy fooled a movie that cost 200,000 to 2.2 million to sell it to him - the most tragic thing is that he hadn't bought it yet!
Every time he thinks of this, Qi Sheng wants to open the window and jump from here - five million, just paying five million, a movie with a profit of more than 100 million will belong to them Xiaoma Film and Television! Not to mention that the profit of the sequel of this movie is an extremely solid and stable growth point, but he refused just because of five million!
If he hadn't been the inseparable iron triangle between him and Li Ming, and if the three of them had absolute voice on the board of directors, he would have stepped down because of this matter.
However, Qi Sheng's tense mental strength did not bring him any psychological advantages, and Du An's first sentence stunned him again.
"I have a movie that needs to be released and the global box office will not be less than 1 billion."
!
Qi Sheng's pupils suddenly expanded, Shu Yu's hand shook, and the cup almost slid down from his hand.
"Ahem!..."
Maybe he was choking by saliva, Qi Sheng kept coughing and it took him a long time to calm down.
It's really hard to guard against.
Du An smiled, "Mr. Qi, are you always tired when you are so tense? I feel uncomfortable when I look at it, now I'm relaxed."
Qi Sheng smiled bitterly and shook his head: Relax, fart!
If Duane continues to give various reasons to convince him that the movie Duane wants to make can have a box office of 1 billion, he will definitely be Duane farting. But Duane suddenly stopped after hitting such a fierce punch, which would make his heart turbulent.
What if there is really 1 billion?
Qi Sheng thought so.
People are always greedy and can't help thinking about things that cannot happen, such as buying lottery tickets - the huge purchase amount of each issue of Welfare Lottery shows how greedy people are, and how mentally retarded humans are when greed rushes to their brains.
Now I believe that Duane's new movie can have a box office of 1 billion, which is like buying a lottery. The only thing that is more reliable than buying a lottery is probably that Duane has had a miraculous precedent of creating a box office of nearly 500 million at a cost of 200,000.
Who said he couldn't copy this miracle again?
Qi Sheng hopes that Duan will say more and give him more confidence now, but Duan doesn't say anything, just reminiscing with him: "Mr. Qi, although I didn't accept you for helping you at that time, I have always been very grateful. This time I came here mainly to express my gratitude. But, you see, as the saying goes, I don't thank you for your kindness, so I didn't buy anything this time..."
Qi Sheng was absent-mindedly and tugged with Du An, and Shu Yu listened to him for a while, but he didn't hear anything else, but he probably heard about what they had happened more than a month ago.
It turned out that when the fake certificate incident broke out, Qi Sheng brought his lawyer to Nanyang to find Du An.
At that time, according to the lawyer's judgment, the key points of the fake evidence incident were in two aspects: First, was whether Rising Film and Television agreed to invest in Duane because of his identity as a "graduate of the Central Academy of Drama Director's Department" and second, it was the nature of this investment.
According to the articles of the Criminal Law, the crime of fraud is the act of defrauding public and private finance with a large amount of fictitious facts or concealing the truth, which is a result of the crime. If Rising Film and Television insisted that they were misled by Duan "a graduate of the Central Drama Director Department" and agreed to invest in him, the 200,000 yuan invested in Duan was indeed in the hands of Duan, then Duan was confirmed to be fraud unless the nature of the investment was problematic - this is also where Qi Sheng planned to make a fuss.
After seeing the contract signed by Duan with Rising Film and Television, the lawyer brought by Qi Sheng suggested that Duan insist that the investment was Rising Film and Television's own capital. Duan was just a worker. In that case, he would at most be punished for disguising the seal of an enterprise and institution, and at most he would be sentenced to three years, and as usual, only one year. If he put more efforts into "buying fake certificates", it would be even lighter, and maybe the administrative penalty would be over.
The lawyer was very excited at the time - the Chinese film and television industry was developing rapidly and hot, and because it was too fast, many legal guarantees did not keep up, such as Rising's capital nature appraisal of the 200,000 investment. Now this lawsuit has attracted the attention of the whole country. If this lawsuit can be defeated, it will definitely promote the perfection of the laws of the film and television industry. He will also leave a strong mark in history and become a nationally renowned lawyer.
Unfortunately, Duane rejected them and took the first way.
"... Qin Gang kept complaining to me later, saying that you made him lose the opportunity to become a barrister."
Qi Sheng said absent-mindedly, smiling slightly.
It was only now that Shu Yu realized that there was such a complex and tortuous scene here.
Du An waved his hand, "The matter has passed, so let's not talk about it. Okay, let's stop here today. Mr. Qi, you have to rest, so we will say goodbye."
Now let's go?
Shu Yu was a little confused: Apart from bragging about a box office of 1 billion, isn’t the release of the matter not talking about at all?
But Duan stood up, his left arm bent into a circle and a half, and his palm was supported by his waist.
Go away quickly, don't talk, and don't have any strange things on your face.
Shu Yumi understood the body language, so she cooperated to hold her hands over, and the two walked out like a young couple.
"Let's go slowly."
Qi Sheng sent them out of the door and waved to them with a smile.
Just as Du An and the others were about to leave, Qi Sheng suddenly said: "Lu Fanghe, deputy manager of our company's issuance department, seems to be planning to resign this month."
Then he muttered to himself: "Those theater owners only watch money but don't be conscientious, their tails are almost overwhelming. No one can give me any face. Chinese theaters need to be properly rectified."
After saying that, the door was closed.
It's done.
