Beijing.
After all, Chen Kai was a well-known director in the industry and had seen countless big scenes.
Although today's matter was a little inexplicable, he still sent that person away politely.
"What's wrong?"
His wife, Chen Lan, walked over and asked gently.
She was not an ordinary person.
Back then, she was able to rely on her son to successfully force Auntie Ni to take over the position.
After she married Chen Kai, she left the entertainment industry and started to go behind the scenes.
All these years, Chen Lan had been the producer of most of the movies directed by Chen Kai. Although the box office sales of the movies were a lot of failures, the couple had made a lot of money. Otherwise, they would not have sent their son to study in America.
Seeing her husband's serious expression, she walked over and asked.
"It's a little troublesome."
Chen Kai lit a cigarette for himself and said lightly,"Someone is targeting me for the new movie."
"Hmm?"
Chen Lan was stunned when she heard Chen Kai's words.
One had to know.
Her husband wasn't one of those new directors. Generally speaking, when it came to Chen Kai, he didn't need to go to his door to attract investors.
It was always the investors who took the initiative to approach him, hoping to invest in his new movie.
Of course.
There were many ways to go about it.
Some people really wanted to make money, while others just wanted to wash their money clean.
This was the truth.
Nowadays, many people in the entertainment industry did not come here to make money at all.
Their goal was very clear, which was to clean up their dirty money.
For example.
Nowadays, there were more and more movies that claimed to be big investments and big productions. Did they really have to spend so much money?
There was a lot to this. For example, in a war drama, the construction of the city tower actually cost 500,000 yuan, and the financial department could charge one million yuan. Anyway, the city tower had already been blown up, and the dead could not testify.
If they went overseas to film, there would be no receipt, and the production cost would be false. There was no way to investigate.
Chen Kai had done such a thing before.
After all, making movies was one of the most common ways to launder money.
For example, investing tens of millions of yuan, hiring a few unknown actors, filming a movie or television series that was so bad that it was unwatchable, then expanding the investment and income. In the end, they would walk around the industry and become clean. Everyone they met would say that they had earned this money from investing in movies and television series.
Of course.
A great director like Chen Kai did not need to do this. He only needed to say that he had invested 500 million yuan in a movie.
After all, 100 million yuan was enough for the salary and filming expenses. The remaining 400 million yuan could be said to be the publicity and distribution agency fees.
Although it sounded ridiculous, the money was clean after one round.
Back when Enlight Media promoted " The Colors of Heroes 2018," they claimed to have spent 37 million yuan on publicity fees. When the movie was released, only 10% of the screening time was used, and the total box office sales were 63 million yuan.
The producer asked Enlight Media to provide a detailed breakdown of the publicity fees, but it was rumored that Enlight Media only gave a form with dozens of lines. Then, they said that the contract did not specify that Party B had the obligation to provide Party A with the details of the money.
He spent 37 million yuan and only took a few dozen lines of documents. In the end, the box office sales were only 63 million yuan.
Why?
The answer was actually very simple. They didn't actually spend that much money on publicity!
That was why he didn't have a detailed account of the expenses because he couldn't take it out, and he didn't want to make up a fake account that could be easily exposed.
He had gone off topic.
Chen Kai and Chen Lan were both smart people. With investors withdrawing their investments one after another, this meant that their new movie had already been targeted. The only thing they did not know now was who was targeting this movie.
"I'll contact Wang Zhonglei."
Chen Lan thought for a moment and said to her husband.
"Alright."
Chen Kai nodded.
As the main investor, as long as there were no problems with the Huayi Brothers, the movie would definitely be able to shoot as scheduled.
"Right, Arthur seems to have banned an extra in Hengdian.”
Chen Lan thought of something and said to her husband casually.
"An extra?"
Chen Kai frowned when he heard that." What's wrong with him? What's his status? How embarrassing is it to go against an extra?!"”
Yes, it was.
In Chen Kai's opinion, it was really embarrassing for his son to go against an extra.
He was one of the top directors in the country and had a high status in the entertainment industry.
Chen Yaser was his son, so he naturally represented him. Being related to an extra was simply making him famous!
"It seems that Arthur was woken up by the actors while he was sleeping.”
Chen Lan explained," These extras these days really have no quality at all. I heard that the extra even seduced female directors and group leaders in private."”
"What a scum!"
"I'll make a statement later. The entertainment industry's environment has been ruined by this group of people!" Chen Kai said coldly.”
When he said this, his face was filled with righteousness.
After all, he was a famous director. His acting skills were still very good.
He indeed had the capital. He was born in a big courtyard and had connections with all the good people. He also had a high status in the Beijing circle and was one of the best in the director circle.
To put it bluntly.
Chen Kai was the kind of scumbag whose talent was the inverse of his character.
As for why he was so arrogant now, the reason was actually very simple. It was because the Internet was not developed at that time. Not many people knew about his little tricks.
Now that he was older, he naturally became an old artist.
This was the reality of the entertainment industry.
The longer one lived, the easier it would be to create an image.
