Chapter 293 Li Ye: I’m not qualified to tell you?
"Mr. Li, after listening to Xiaohui's narration, I really regret not going to watch your debate live."
Li Ye did not go with Li Huaisheng and the others to the dinner after the debate. Fengzeyuan, because Pei Wencong asked his sister to find Li Ye and said that there were some things that needed to be discussed.
So Li Ye cooked a few dishes in the courtyard of Zaojun Temple and sat down to have a drink with Pei Wencong.
Li Ye toasted Pei Wencong and said with a faint smile: "You are not going to discuss the debate with me tonight, are you?"
"Of course not."
Pei Wencong sipped the flavor of Erguotou, frowned and said: "I followed your instructions and contacted several mainland film studios. They almost all had the same reaction. Li Sir, what’s your reaction?”
Li Ye smiled and said, “They all thought so. Why did you meet a liar?"
"Yes!"
Pei Wencong said with a smile: "I, Pei Wencong, have sold fruit, worked as a small worker, and resold pornographic magazines, but I’ve never been a liar, so how did they hear that I looked like a liar?”
Li Ye smiled and said: "When you gave the budget for the movie, were they all stunned for a few seconds?"
Pei Wencong was stunned for a moment and said thoughtfully: "Yes. , and they checked with me over and over again to see if it was in US dollars. What Mr. Li meant was that I only reported the initial budget, which was only five million!”
Li Yedao: “That’s not it! It's obvious that they think the budget you gave is too high, too high, and too high to be realistic."
"Oh~, that's it."
Pei Wencong suddenly realized. Then he praised Li Ye repeatedly: "Mr. Li still understands the situation in the mainland. If I were asked to guess by myself, I wouldn't be able to guess it tomorrow!"
Li Ye smiled and did not expose him.
Because in his previous life, he saw the biggest boss in his group smiling and taking it calmly when faced with the flattery of his subordinates.
My subordinates are full of respect, you can’t chill their hearts!
More than a year ago, Pei Wencong and Li Ye had a purely cooperative relationship, but now that he has learned this, he must be encouraged.
Pei Wencong poured a glass of wine for Li Ye and said: "Then I will explain to several film studios tomorrow? Or should I quote a lower price?"
Li Ye shook his head and said: "It's better to wait for them to come to you! You know that there are so many people who are fooled, but they are not stupid, so why are they still fooled?"
"The benefits are attractive, but they clearly know that there are risks. , but I will still come to find out. When the time comes, you Let them make their own quotations, and you will know the mainland’s unique advantages in historical films and war films.”
Historical films and war films require a lot of manpower to create scenery and a large number of group performances to build momentum. This is in terms of labor costs. Expensive overseas expenses are a big part of the budget.
But when Brother Jie was filming "Shaolin Temple" in 1982, his daily salary was only one yuan. As for venue usage fees, there was probably no such thing.
So Pei Wencong quoted an initial budget of five million, plus a US dollar BUFF bonus. It would be strange if people didn't regard him as a liar.
"But I heard something from Wu Jinyuan yesterday," Li Ye suddenly said: "There are rumors on Hong Kong Island that a film company has already taken over your 35 million US dollars contract. Is this a sign of intimidation?" You surrender?”
“Forcing me to surrender?”
Pei Wencong said with a smile: “They still don’t know how much money we have. You won’t do such little tricks.”
Seeing Li Ye’s suspicion, Pei Wencong shouted outside the house: “Aqiang, come in.”
He was outside with Dahuang. Aqiang, who was staring at Pavlov, hurriedly opened the door and came in.
Pei Wencong said: "You call back to Hong Kong tomorrow and tell that guy Xiong that his boss should stop using me as a scapegoat, let alone spread rumors and cause trouble.
I want to give him food, so I have to be willing. If he dares to play tricks, don't blame me for ruining his job."
Aqiang blinked and suddenly said: "Boss, do you want to ruin his job now? As long as they get 300,000 U.S. dollars, I will have them copy it."
"Pa~"
Pei Wencong slapped Aqiang on the forehead.
A Qiang was a poor boy. He joined a club for several years when he was a child, so he still had a lot of charlatanism in him. He had restrained himself when he was down and out, but now that he is prosperous, he can't help but miss the scenery of his "big brother".
"You have already put on a suit, so stop thinking of yourself as a short mule. If you want to join the club, then ask your reporter Pan first to see if she is willing?"
< br>"I'm just talking! Why did you do it? I warned you You, please don’t hit me on the head again”
“.”
Aqiang ran out cursing. Although he knew that he was Pei Wencong’s younger brother, he had gone through so many years of hard life together. , I will never be soft-spoken.
Pei Wencong was so angry that he immediately rushed out to beat him, but was stopped by Li Ye.
“Aren’t you also wearing a suit? Why are you still so arrogant and hitting him on the head?”
“That boy, he’s been itchy all over after not being beaten for three days, and he has no father or mother. If I didn't discipline him from time to time, he would have gone to work in a kiln in Stanley."
"."
Li Ye then understood that Pei Wencong's friendship with Aqiang was greater than his own. The imagination goes deeper.
"Ah, forget it, let's not talk about Aqiang," Pei Wencong said: "Mr. Li, I would like to ask, are we going to enter the film and television industry in the future? It is not easy to make money by making movies, so we might as well continue to engage in finance."
"Our main business in the future is manufacturing, but we must not give up on culture."
"Manufacturing?"
Pei Wencong did not immediately agree with Li Ye, Because he now somewhat looks down upon those industries where money comes in slowly. Fenghua Clothing Factory and Talang Literature Publishing House, working tirelessly for a year, are not as good as making a lot of money in a few days in the foreign exchange market and the stock market. They really can't generate passion!
Li Ye glanced at Pei Wencong and said: "Making a movie this time will allow you to get a ticket to enter the mainland for development.
Next, you will set up a factory in Pengcheng, covering clothing, electronics, and machinery. As long as the mainland What we need is what we have to do, can you understand?"
Pei Wencong looked at Li Ye with a solemn expression and licked it. lips, and then said frankly: "I can't understand it yet, but please don't doubt Mr. Li, I am definitely willing to follow your advice."
"Can't understand?"
Li Ye smiled softly and said, "Then you should be able to understand after you attend the National Day ceremony in a few days."
Pei Wencong smiled and nodded and said: "Okay, okay, please take care of Mr. Li when the time comes. If you don't understand anything, be sure to remind me so as not to make a fool of yourself later."
". "
Li Ye looked at Pei Wencong without speaking for a long time, and his cheeks seemed to be twitching a few times.
Pei Wencong realized something was wrong and hurriedly asked: "Mr. Li, is there a problem?"
Li Ye gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words: "Celebration If you have to go with someone else, I can’t go with you.”
Pei Wencong asked strangely: "Why?"
I am not qualified to enter that area, do I still have to tell you? Look how arrogant you are.
"The meal is finished, you should go back first!"
Pei Wencong looked at the four dishes with few chopsticks, and he couldn't even guess where he had offended his beloved. .
. . . . . .
On the last day before the National Day, two groups of people from two film studios in Shanghai and Chang'an rushed to the capital after a long journey, and then found Li Ye almost at the same time.
"Comrade Li Ye, right? We are from the Shanghai Film Factory. Can you please contact Mr. Pei in Hong Kong Island now?"
"We are from the Chang'an Film Factory. We also need to find Mr. Pei."
Li Ye looked at their IDs. One was named Xiong and the other was Zheng. They were both directors.
He asked with some confusion: "Didn't Mr. Pei leave you a contact address? Why did you come to me?"
Director Zheng from Shanghai City said: "We arrived at the hotel where Mr. Pei was staying, but we couldn't find anyone. I heard that Li Ye knew Mr. Pei very well, so we wanted to come over and ask."
Li Ye shook his head and smiled. He said: "If you ask me, I don't know Mr. Pei Where did he go? He will attend the National Day ceremony tomorrow. Can't you just go find him the day after tomorrow? "
"National Day ceremony?"
Director Xiong and Director Zheng looked at each other. , between the collision of eyes, something seemed to spark.
In a competitive relationship, a spark is nothing.
Li Ye thought that the two groups should have gone to the hotel to look for Pei Wencong, but Pei Wencong was not there, so they bumped into each other while waiting outside.
If you still had some doubts before, but after hearing the four words National Day Ceremony, your doubts will probably disappear.
Can scammers attend the National Day Ceremony?
"Does Li Ye smoke?"
Director Xiong from Chang'an took out a box of cigarettes and chatted with Li Ye with a smile.
Li Ye shook his head and said with a smile: "You're welcome, just ask if you have any questions! But I really don't know where Mr. Pei is."
Li Ye doesn't want to get into trouble all day long, so he always claims that he is The relationship with Pei Wencong is that of the author and the owner of the publishing house.
Director Xiong did not light up a cigarette himself, put the cigarette case back into his pocket, and then asked: "Classmate Li Ye, we just want to know if this Mr. Pei will really cost five million dollars to shoot. Movie?”
“How much does this cost? I don’t know about the money,” Li Ye said implicitly: “But he said that the best director, the best actors, and the best sets will definitely cost a lot of money!”
Director Zheng! He hurriedly asked: "Does he have so many dollars?"
Li Ye said calmly: "I don't know this, but he just donated 300,000 US dollars in cash to our Peking University."
"300,000 US dollars in cash."
" ."
"Thank you, classmate Li Ye."
"Thank you, little comrade."
The two directors smacked the food, then suddenly turned around and left.
A moment later, in two phone rooms next to each other in the Beijing University Post and Telecommunications Bureau, two people reported to the factory at the same time.
"Hey, call me the director quickly. There is a big deal here. Let him bring the best director. It is not my responsibility to bring the best actor. Let the director make the decision. "
"Director, don't worry about the meeting. I met the old bear from Chang'an. I can't beat him and I need support!"
