There are related records and evidence that there may be a prehistoric civilization underground in prehistoric times, and American scientists have even dissected the Gopherman.

Some anecdotes and anecdotes made the reporters on the scene listen with gusto and ask questions actively.

That night, when Lin Juan and others were talking about their lines for the second time, "Journey to the Center of the Earth" took advantage of the current popularity of "Going Home" and the popularity of its two leading actors to officially hit the trending list.

Chapter 22 Is there a problem?

On September 28th, in the large conference room of Chenguang Film and Television, thirteen figures sat around the conference table, each with their own nameplates in front of them. These 13 people are the board members of Chenguang, and they talked with each other with a smile, The atmosphere was joyous.

Sitting at the top was an obese man, at least over 200 jins, with a friendly smile. He was the chairman of Chenguang, Yang Lei, and Li Lan's husband.

At this time Li Lan was sitting under his left hand.

"Okay, then our meeting will officially start. Director Lin, report to us about the operation of this month." Yang Lei said with a smile. Anyone who sees him should have the first impression of a good person, bold and other words.

Director Lin is Lin Tao, a member of the board of directors and deputy general manager of Chenguang.

Most of these thirteen people hold some positions concurrently and belong to the company's veterans, while a small number are independent directors and do not participate in the actual management of the company.

"This month, our company's revenue mainly comes from the following sectors... revenue from film and television peripherals... There are three movies released this month, one in physical theaters and two in online theaters. Among them, the movie "Passing by You" in physical theaters The box office of "The World" has exceeded 400 million, and the total box office is expected to reach about 720 million. The two online movies... have a total box office of [-] million, of which "Going Home" has a total box office of [-] million. As for expenditures, we currently operate three projects..."

"The report is over." Lin Tao sat down after speaking calmly and forcefully.

Before Yang Lei could speak, a director sitting third from the left said dissatisfiedly, "Does that mean we are losing money again this month? I remember that the total investment of "Passing By" was [-] million yuan. , The announcement cost another tens of millions, and when the box office comes down, can we make money?"

"The Elf King, which was released last month, invested 3000 million yuan, and the box office was [-] million yuan. Chairman Yang, we didn't invest in you to make you lose money."

This director is one of the independent directors, named Wang Yu, and he looks quite angry at this moment.

The meeting room was silent, some people closed their eyes and rested their minds, some looked at their noses and noses as if they were wandering in the world, and some looked at Yang Lei and Li Lan worriedly, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn.

Yang Lei had that long-standing smile on his lips, and he was playing with his pen with his head down. Li Lan showed a gentle smile on his face, and turned to Wang Yu and said, "What does Director Wang think is wrong? Do you have any suggestions?"

"I'm an investor, you ask me? You have been losing money for more than a year, how much has your market value shrunk? More than 200 billion! Let me tell you, there are problems with the projects you invested in, and now you actually gave 20 million to a 5000-year-old director Is there such a thing as an investment project?" Wang Yu pointed his finger at the table and said imposingly.

"Yes." Li Lan nodded calmly.

"Hey, let me tell you, a 20-year-old director with no professional education has approved an investment of 5000 million yuan for his project. Do you think this is nonsense?"

Someone nodded secretly.

"What does Director Wang think?" Li Lan leaned back against the chair, her slender legs crossed, and she was smiling, not in a hurry, and her willow-leaf eyes seemed to be smiling faintly.

The beauty is beyond the skin, this woman in her 40s seems to have never been inelegant for a moment, and her temperament has penetrated into her bones. In the huge conference hall, except for a thin middle-aged man who is sitting on Yang Lei's right hand and resting his eyes, there is no one here. At that time, everyone's aura was suppressed by her.

"Remove him! Bring in an experienced director. Director Liu, who has worked with us before, is temporarily out of action. Let him come." Wang Yu scolded Fang Qiu.

"Substitution? It's not impossible, but the current script is changed by Lin Juan himself. Only he knows what effect he wants. Others may not be able to shoot well. If it is changed to Director Liu, the original script will be handed over to him. , How about letting him shoot according to his own ideas?"

"That won't work. It's all about to be turned on now. How can there be time to change it? Besides, Director Liu is very experienced and can shoot everything. Will he not be as good as that brat?"

"But if this is the case, Lin Juan will have an opinion." Wang Lan lowered her head and pressed the ballpoint pen in her hand.

"What's wrong with having opinions?! A small director, is his opinion important? He dares to have opinions! Besides, isn't he a signed artist of our company? Didn't we pay him a salary? Contributing to the company is what he should do Yes!" Wang Yu's desktop knocked loudly, and his words were domineering.

"I understand." Li Lan raised her head with a smile, stared at Wang Yu and said, "You guys have taken a fancy to Lin Juan's script and came to pick the fruit. Director Wang, have you shown the script to Director Liu?"

Wang Yu's complexion turned ugly in an instant: "So what if I've seen it? Will Director Liu be inferior to that young man? Besides, Director Liu also promised that if he shoots this project and invests 5000 million yuan, he will sign the contract." Our company, isn’t this bad? Are you at ease throwing [-] million to a kid who has never made a movie? Do you expect this movie to make money?”

"I just didn't intend to make money from this show, what's wrong? Can't I?" Li Lan put down her pen, and the smile on her face gradually faded.

"Listen, is this plausible? You are irresponsible to investors! You..."

"Wang Dong, let me remind you that what you have done is already a disclosure of commercial secrets." Li Lan said calmly, and then she scanned the audience, her face gradually sank at this moment.

"Everyone sitting here has invested in our Chenguang Film and Television from a very early stage. Over the years, we have grown Chenguang from tens of millions to tens of billions. Everyone sitting here should have made a lot of money over the years. Director Wang, if You think Chenguang is going to die, okay, I will take your shares, is there any problem?"

"You!!" Wang Yu blushed, but it was impossible for him to sell shares. Although the entertainment industry's share price has declined as a whole in recent years, everyone knows that this is only temporary. The future of the entertainment industry will be An essential part of the business sector.

hard top?That is also impossible, compared to the background, the relationship behind this woman Li Lan is very solid, and Yang Lei is not a simple character.

"It seems that you are fine." Li Lan said lightly.

Yang Lei curled his lips, what came to mind was the scene of Li Lan saying this to him all these years, these people are really Shi Lezhi, I dare not provoke her!

"Dear directors, I, Li Lan, am not unreasonable. I don't know if you have watched "Going Home". Lin Juan invested 1 yuan to shoot this movie with a mobile phone alone. We released a total of More than 80 yuan was invested in promotional fees, and now the box office is 700 million yuan, and the total box office is expected to be around 5000 million yuan, which is [-] times the income."

"This is a talented director. The current project has been adapted by him. Director Liu, who originally rejected our invitation, tried to take over this project. These all show Lin Juan's ability."

"Our company needs a great director. He has the potential. Let me explain more clearly."

"Today, no one should try to grab the project from him. I originally invested 5000 million yuan in this "Journey to the Center of the Earth" for him to practice. Even if he loses, I will still invest again. Young people, you should Give it a few more chances."

"Okay, I'm done, now who is in favor and who is against?"

Chapter 23 How Can Black People Have Curly Hair?

Wang Yu blushed, pointed at Yang Lei angrily and said, "Chairman Yang, is this how you treat investors and directors?"

"Hey~" Yang Lei said with a smile: "Wang Dong, don't be angry, women are self-willed, isn't that Miss Mingzhu also, I have to listen to him at home, calm down."

"And what Manager Lan said makes sense. After all, Xiao Lin is one of his own, right. He has a good reputation for this movie now. Can he give it a chance, Director Tian, ​​what do you think?" Yang Lei looked to his right hand.

The thin middle-aged man who kept his eyes closed opened his eyes and said with a smile: "I don't participate in the management of the company, but since Mr. Yang and Mr. Li support me, then I won't be a villain. Chairman Yang's ability Everyone is still on the same page.”

As soon as he expressed his opinion, three or four directors nodded along: "Well, since this is the case, let's give the young people a chance."

"Yes, who hasn't been young yet."

The overall situation has been decided. Seeing this, Wang Yu said with an ugly face: "Since Director Tian thinks that young people should be given a chance, then forget it, but you should change the current situation as soon as possible..."

"..."

Half an hour later, Li Lan pushed open the door of his office, sat in his seat and rubbed his forehead with his hand on the arm of the chair.

Seeing this, Hu Qin hurried to make a bag of coffee for her, and handed it over carefully.

Li Lan smiled softly at her, pulled herself together and asked, "How is Xiao Juan?"

"I heard that the Tianhai Studio has been set up. Director Lin went to check the situation."

"Yeah." Li Lan nodded with a smile while holding the coffee. Her mood seemed to be better. Hu Qin wanted to chat with Li Lan, so she smiled and said softly, "Sister Lan, you see Director Lin as a nephew, right?"

"This kid is honest, calm and talented. I wish I had such a nephew." Li Lan said with a smile.

"Well, when I met Director Lin, I also felt that he has a very good personality and is very calm. I read his interview and he said it very well, but Director Lin seems to dislike being interviewed and participating in activities." Hu Qin said with a smile , It is obviously something that others dream of, but Lin Juan feels very helpless.

"He is a pure director." Li Lan said with a smile: "But it doesn't matter, we are businessmen, we can help him deal with it. When his reputation is established, the appeal of a big director is much greater than that of a star. I've heard that directors favor stars, but I've never heard of stars favoring directors."
