Chapter 126 [Dimens and Companions] (Part 1)

The earth couple’s Dharma and wealth are the four essentials of Taoism. The law is the alchemy method; the partner is the fellow Taoist; the earth is the place where you practice, the blessing of the earth and the sky; the wealth is the expense required for practicing Taoism, and the other is the place where you cultivate your family and support your parents’ resources...

If one of the four is missing, it is difficult to achieve the great way.

This investor from a certain province is a coal businessman. He is very wise and doesn't look like he has a lot of fun and has a very appetite for Zhang Hai.

According to him, although he made money in a coal business, he was not of high quality and was not shining enough, so he wanted to invest in filming. For this reason, he made a special trip to the screenwriter to write the script and received guidance from a certain "master". He calculated that Chu Du was the most powerful, and the name Chu Feng was even more pleasing to him, so he came to him.

In theory, Zhang Hai is also a gangster from the world who is born in a dock. He should not be fooled by his dignified disciples, but this geese who are blind all year round will inevitably be pecked by the geese.

This coal boss looked rustic and straight, and he was already very fond of him, but when he caught up with Tianyu Group's Seoul Film and Television Base, it was about to be completed and cut the ribbon. Zhang Hai dreamed that he would make a noise in order to attract the attention of Su Bingkun and Su Da Boss, so he was moved at that time.

The script brought by this coal boss is really good, called "The Hero of the Desert", martial arts, gun battles, beauty, desert... It's simply a modern version of "New Dragon Inn", and there is no shortage of popular elements. Zhang Hai has been running a film and television company for several years, and is not an outsider. This drama is definitely popular, so he became interested.

The next step is to talk about cooperation. The conditions given by the coal boss are even more incredible and are simply too generous.

The script was provided by the boss of coal, and he was responsible for the later filming and promotional expenses; Chufeng Film and Television Company only had to bear the initial expenses. Finally, it was estimated that the total investment of the entire drama was about 10 million rmb, and the initial expenses were only about 2 million, which Zhang Hai could bear.

The coal boss acted like he was neglecting wealth and values ​​friendship. After the film was released, Chufeng Company could get 50% of the profit, which was simply a gift to the door. The investment amount was only 20%, but 50% of the profit. Isn’t this a pie falling from the sky?

Zhang Hai was not without doubts, but he had prepared the contract. Zhang Hai looked around and even found a professional lawyer to see it. There was no problem with the contract. The agreement inside was just like what the coal boss said, without any difference.

If there is a problem with the contract, it is the coal boss who requested that Chufeng Film and Television, as the actual producer of the film, must ensure that the male protagonist of the film is a first-tier star in Hong Kong, otherwise it will be considered a breach of contract. Not only will he refuse to provide later funds, but he will also hold Chufeng Film and Television Company responsible for breach of contract, and Chufeng Film and Television Company will compensate 1 million yuan.

Of course, if Chufeng Company fulfills its obligations in accordance with the contract and he cannot inject funds in time, he will compensate Chufeng Company for a penalty of 2 million yuan.

This requirement is also very reasonable. People have invested nearly 10 million yuan, so can't they ask for a decent actor?

However, in order to be cautious, Zhang Hai also specially commissioned a lawyer to conduct a letter of consultation investigation, proving that the coal boss does own a coal mine in a county in Shanxi, and his economic strength is unquestionable.

Zhang Hai contacted a company specializing in intermediary services in the film and television industry and asked about the schedule and value of several top stars in Hong Kong. After 1997, the Hong Kong film and television industry actually retreated instead of advancing. Zhang Hai estimated that the value of these movie stars will only fall and will not rise.

Sure enough, there was a reply from Jinling. A male fighter star was very willing to play the leading role in the film. With the assistance of Jinling Company, Chu Feng and the male fighter star also signed a letter of agreement, agreeing that after Chu Feng's preliminary shooting work began, the male star must sign a performance contract with Chu Feng and give up the schedule unconditionally. Any party breached the contract should compensate the other party for a penalty of 500,000 Hong Kong dollars.

After finishing all these tasks, Zhang Hai no longer hesitated.

There is no problem with the coal boss, the male protagonist's problem has been solved, and the script is not the same. Chu Feng only needs to make 20% investment to get 80% profit; at the same time, using this drama can also attract the attention of Tianyu Group and defeat the old rival of Hanjing Company...

If you don’t do such a good thing, Zhang Hai feels a little sorry for the people, the party, and the good opportunities given by God. In Zhang Hai’s opinion, you will definitely make a fortune after the filming of this drama. At that time, not only can you fill the previous deficits, but you will also have the capital to discuss cooperation with Tianyu. In the future, you will be the film and television tycoons in Chudu, northern Jiangsu, the entire Suzhou Province, and even the entire China.

A beautiful film and television empire was gradually constructed in Zhang Hai's mind, as if he was already the emperor of this dream empire...

"Since there is no problem in any link, will something happen?"

After all, Zhang Dong had a little experience. After all, he didn't hear anything wrong with his father's story. He couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"Hey, it seems that there is no problem with any link, but I can't resist it because I have a calculating and unintentional..."

Zhang Hai shook his head, feeling a little depressed and after signing the contract, I went to the bank to borrow money and borrowed some from there. Finally, I collected the preliminary fees, involving the second-tier actors and the special invitations and extras. The filming of the scenes involving the second-tier actors and the special invitations and extras has also started... But when the company contacted the male star and hoped that he would come to film as soon as possible, he said that he had recently taken on a more important scene and had no schedule."

"Didn't he sign a letter of intent?"

"After all, it's just a letter of intent. The terms formulated are not detailed enough, not a formal contract. And the other party expressed his willingness to compensate 500,000 yuan in liquidated damages, and we had no choice..."

Zhang Hai sighed, I was negligent. The other party paid us only a penalty of 500,000 yuan, but we could not find a first-line male star in Hong Kong. The coal boss can hold us accountable for the breach of contract and refuse to invest later funds. The loss my father said was only the initial funds we invested. If we included the penalty for paying the coal boss, it would be more than 3 million. Even if we received the 500,000 yuan liquidated damages from the Hong Kong star, we would still have to pay nearly 3 million.... It's over, it's all."

"Hey, what a well-designed trap."

Zhang Dong sneered repeatedly when he heard this. It was obvious that the coal boss had contacted Hong Kong Star Player. The purpose of the other party doing this was probably not mainly money, but to destroy Chufeng Film and Television Company.

"The other party obviously wants to destroy us, but Dad, can you be sure that Chen Siming's Hanjing Company is doing it?"

"Hi, once the Seoul Film and Television Base is built, with the style of Tianyu Group, it will definitely outsource the actor affairs business. Xiaodong, you may not know that with the scale of the Seoul Film and Television Base, Chu Du will be Hollywood in the East, and the country will be temporary, special actors and groups will gather. These people are working temporary workers for the crew. They contact the crew, collect salaries, and establish an actor union. These must be operated by companies, and the profits in them are very amazing..."

Zhang Haidao, in Chudu, he talks about relationships and strength. Only our company can compete with Hanjing Company for this fatty meat. With Chen Siming's insidiousness, it is not surprising that he uses such a method. And... look at this lawyer's letter..."

Zhang Dong took the lawyer's letter and saw that it was sent by the name "Dayuan Entrepreneurship Coal Co., Ltd.", which means that Chufeng Film and Television Company failed to invite Hong Kong first-line male stars to star in "The Desert Heroes" within the agreed period, which constituted a breach of contract. According to the contract, Dayuan Entrepreneurship Coal Co., Ltd. has the right to terminate the contract and find a partner again, and requires Chufeng Company to compensate one million liquidated damages as agreed, otherwise it will resort to the law...

The most annoying thing is that the lawyer's letter actually pointed out the new partner, which is the rival rival of Chu Feng Company, Chen Siming's Hanjing Company.

Zhang Dong looked at the lawyer's letter and was only two days apart from the Hong Kong movie star's letter of agreement to tear apart the contract. In just two days, this large original startup company found a new partner? If Chen Siming had not colluded with the coal boss, he would probably not even be a ghost.

It's outrageous. After Chen Siming finished his plan, he still had to show off and slapped his face in public, leaving no way out for things. He was really worse than even a bad person.

"After receiving the lawyer's letter, I asked Lawyer Hua to investigate in detail. It turned out that Dayuan Venture Company and Chen Siming's Hanjing Company had cooperated a few years ago, and also filmed a TV series with very little influence... Alas, it's all my fault that I am obsessed with. I only want to achieve results and cooperate with Tianyu Group, but I didn't expect it to be plotted against..."

Zhang Hai bit his lips tightly, his face flushed and white. It doesn’t count if the company collapsed, but he was plotted against him like this and there was no place to reason with him. Even if he hired a lawyer to sue, it would be useless. He has a strong personality all his life, and he was even a rampant person in the world when he was young. He was so frustrated when he was so aggrieved?

"Dad, you're no wonder. Someone has dug a trap and waited for you. Is there a way?"

Although Zhang Dong is a cultivator, he became a little angry when he saw that his father was bullied like this. He snorted softly and said, "Dad, let me solve this matter. Our Zhang family does not bully others, but we can't let people bully you..."

"Xiaodong, you still have to go to high school entrance exams. In the future, you will be a doctor to save lives and help the wounded. Can you burn your body together?"

Zhang Hai is a master, maybe even more clever than Jiang Hua, and he couldn't help but be wise. He thought Zhang Dong wanted to solve the problem by using martial arts and lakes, so he waved his hands and said, "Hey, your dad, I'm also a trainee, you're plotting in business, and we can't win a lawsuit, but it doesn't mean there is no way to vent your anger. A man is angry and bleed five steps. Damn, I want to let someone named Chen, and I'm not easy to mess with."

Zhang Dong was so amused that he couldn't hear it. It seemed that his father was completely understanding. He was about to explain, but suddenly he heard footsteps coming from the front desk, but he was not like the employees of his father's company...
