Chapter 43: Chen Kai Ge and Chen Hong are manipulated, while Zhai Wei becomes a "Daoist Descending the Mountain" investor!
Liu Wei felt like laughing!
The future female tycoon, in order to rise quickly, had to "flirt" with him!
It has to be said that Tian Tian was very good at utilizing her advantages!
She was a flexible female tycoon.
"Before cooperating with me, you still need to establish yourself in Xinli Media. If you can't stand your ground, everything we talk about is a mirage,"
said Liu Wei.
"I understand, we will cooperate,"
Tian Tian said confidently.
...
Liu Wei returned to the set where the last scene was being filmed, only to find that the final obstacle was already completely built!
This scene cost the most!
Because it was the climax, the props used were all high-quality!
No cheap or shoddy items were used!
"This is the last scene, don't get discouraged. Once we finish, we'll have achieved great things, and all the previous hard work won't have been in vain!"
Before the shoot, Liu Wei encouraged everyone.
Yang Mi, Tang Yan, Reba, and Wen Yong Shan nodded!
The setting for the final obstacle was: after escaping from the secret room, they arrived outside!
But they were discovered by robots outside!
And these robots were sentient beings!
To kill them, they could only destroy their brains!
They worked together, destroying the robots and finding the real safe passage.
After the real passage appeared, the robot that had been dealt a finishing blow suddenly revived, and Wen Yong Shan, unable to dodge, sacrificed her life!
In the last moments before her death, she pushed the three into the safe passage…
"Wen Yong Shan, you're being too deliberate. You should act as if you didn't know the finishing-blow robot would revive, as if you were completely unprepared, caught off guard... your current expression looks like you were just waiting to be killed,"
Liu Wei's expression turned serious after Wen Yong Shan's death scene was filmed twice and still didn't pass.
"Director, I'll try again,"
said Wen Yong Shan.
"It's the final stretch, don't be nervous!"
Da Mi Mi reassured her.
She also found it strange, why Wen Yong Shan, who had been performing exceptionally well, was dragging her feet at the last moment?
"Ready?"
said Liu Wei.
"Yes,"
Wen Yong Shan nodded.
"Action!"
said Liu Wei.
Wen Yong Shan's face showed a relaxed expression as she looked at her companions Yang Mi, Tang Yan, and Reba, "We, we made it?"
"We should be successful,"
Yang Mi, exhausted, grinned, her smile looking very tragic.
After all, in this game, they had witnessed the death of so many companions, going from so many to only four left, and it had taken a toll on her.
"Don't rest, let's go to the safe passage!"
Reba reminded them.
"I have a bad feeling about this..."
said Tang Yan.
"You're overthinking it. We're the final winners…"
Before Wen Yong Shan could finish her sentence, she was suddenly shot, her body lunged forward. She knew she had been hit and didn't turn back, immediately rushing towards the three, pushing them into the safe passage.
Yang Mi, Tang Yan, and Reba realized something was wrong and turned their heads to see Wen Yong Shan hit by the robot. The three were incredibly shocked and grieved.
They wanted to save her, but the safe door was closed at this time.
"Cut, that's a wrap!"
Liu Wei was very satisfied with the third take!
After escaping from the safe passage and connecting with the guest appearance segment featuring Zhen Zi Dan, the movie "Limit Escape" was officially wrapped!
It took almost a month, which was quite efficient!
"Hubby, we finally finished filming, I was about to collapse,"
Da Mi Mi was extremely happy.
She came over to hug her husband.
Tang Yan was also excited and came over, followed by Reba and Wen Yong Shan.
Then the crew members began to cheer!
They felt unbelievable that they managed to film in a month, with such high difficulty and dangerous scenes happening one after another!
"We're wrapped. We'll have a wrap party tonight. This movie is our own exclusive investment, and we'll go into post-production without a break, aiming for a summer release,"
said Liu Wei.
"Hubby, it's all up to you,"
said Mi Mi.
...
The "Beijing 81" crew.
"What? Liu Wei wrapped?"
Ye Wei Min was dumbfounded after hearing Wen Jun, the supervisor, say this.
He was completely numb.
That speed was too fast.
This efficient speed would greatly compress costs, giving them a cost advantage in competing with similar genres.
Fortunately, their genre was different, and their target audience was different, otherwise, they would be worried if they were released during the same period.
"He wrapped. I knew Brother Wei would finish before us,"
said Lin Xin Ru.
She had experienced Liu Wei's strength, so tough, so fierce, filming hardcore adventure themes would definitely be a breeze for him.
Because when Liu Wei messed with her, he used all sorts of tricks effortlessly, clearly a gifted individual, and such people are usually versatile.
If Liu Wei knew Lin Xin Ru understood him this way, he would be shocked.
Because Liu Wei was indeed versatile.
...
The "Daoist Descending the Mountain" crew.
"Director Chen, I just received the news that "Limit Escape" has officially wrapped, while your "Daoist Descending the Mountain" has only finished half. Halfway through, you've already exceeded the budget. Don't you think you should give me an explanation?"
Tian Tian said to Chen Kai Ge with a serious expression.
"We agreed from the beginning that you wouldn't interfere with my creation. It's clearly stated in black and white in the contract. You're asking for an explanation? What kind of explanation do you want?"
Chen Kai Ge was incredibly strong and didn't care about Xinli Media's new CEO at all!
"Speaking of the contract, I have to talk about it in detail. The contract states that if the budget is exceeded when half of the scenes are filmed, if you don't cooperate with the investors to make adjustments, the investors have the right to withdraw the remaining investment!"
said Tian Tian.
"Xinli Media has already invested a lot of money. You just took office and are letting the investment go to waste. What will the shareholders think of you?"
Chen Kai Ge scoffed.
"It's also a skill to cut losses in time. I'll convince the shareholders!"
"If you can't adjust and cut costs in time, I'll pull out today. Then when Columbia finds out that Xinli Media is pulling out, do you think they'll also pull out?"
"You know Columbia is going to invest when half of the scenes are filmed. Their money hasn't arrived yet."
said Tian Tian.
"Daoist Descending the Mountain" had three investors!
The first was Kai Ge Film & Culture, owned by Chen Kai Ge and Chen Hong. The second was Xinli Media. The third was Columbia!
The first two were lead investors, and Columbia took on the majority of the investment after 50% of the scenes were filmed.
If Tian Tian pulled out to cut losses, according to the contract, Columbia had the right to void the investment agreement and legally withdraw their investment, regardless of whether Kai Ge Film & Culture or Xinli Media withdrew halfway through.
"You're threatening me? I don't believe you have the guts! You just took office and dare to make the shareholders lose so much money!!!"
Chen Kai Ge sneered.
"Don't be afraid to know, I held a meeting before I came and got the majority support. I have the right to choose whether to withdraw or continue investing,"
said Tian Tian.
“……”
Chen Kai Ge's face changed.
...
"Limit Escape" wrapped, Liu Wei, Da Mi Mi, Tang Yan, Reba, and Wen Yong Shan were about to visit the "Hua Qian Gu" set, when Liu Wei's phone rang.
It was his father, Liu Qing Ji, calling.
"A Wei, the acquisition of Columbia you asked me to do was finalized yesterday, all conditions were agreed upon, and the acquisition contract was just signed. From today on, that company is under our Liu's Investment Group,"
said Liu Qing Ji.
"I thought we'd have to wait a little longer, after all, it's not just our family that's interested in Columbia, Wan Da is also interested, they'd definitely drive up the price, I didn't expect you to finalize it so quickly, old man,"
Liu Wei teased.
When he went to Hong Kong Island during the Chinese New Year, Liu Wei gave Liu Qing Ji an investment list, which included Columbia Pictures in the United States.
On Earth, this company had already been acquired.
But on Blue Star, although its business was mediocre, it had been holding on until now, giving Liu Wei the opportunity to invest.
"Wan Da owed me a favor and said they would cooperate with you in the future, so as long as it's suitable, you can cooperate,"
said Liu Qing Ji.
"Okay, Dad, Mi Mi is beside me, do you want to say a few words to her?"
"Then I'll give the phone to your mom, let your mom talk to her,"
...
After Mi Mi finished chatting with her mother-in-law, Li Mi Ying, Liu Qing Ji said to Liu Wei, "I've finished auditing all of Columbia's current investment projects, I'll send them to your email later, have a look and then decide what to do next, whether to continue investing in some projects or stop some investments,"
"Just send them over. I'll take a look at the audit results after visiting the "Hua Qian Gu" set,"
said Liu Wei.
...
While Da Mi Mi was showing off her boss lady's authority and strutting her stuff on the "Hua Qian Gu" set, Liu Wei received an email in his secure inbox.
After reading it, he was stunned.
It turned out that Columbia had invested in "Daoist Descending the Mountain".
He previously thought that only Chen Kai Ge's Kai Ge Film & Culture and Xinli Media were investing, he didn't expect Columbia to be involved.
That meant that he now had the power to decide whether or not to continue investing in "Daoist Descending the Mountain"!
"Brother Kai, don't blame me for being unrighteous, it's because you're too bad, I'll lose all my money if I invest!"
After regaining his composure, Liu Wei resolutely decided to abandon the investment in "Daoist Descending the Mountain".
He had just made the decision and was about to inform Chen Kai Ge and Chen Hong and Tian Tian, when Tian Tian and Chen Hong arrived at the "Hua Qian Gu" set.
"Brother Wei, let's chat,"
said Tian Tian with a smile.
Chen Hong, with her charming demeanor, looked very unhappy.
They were being manipulated by Tian Tian!
"Okay,"
Liu Wei nodded.
