Huayu Chunqiu, starting from being adopted by a fairy mother

Chapter 209: Sissi Can't Float
You know I know, and I know you know.

You know I know you know, I know you know I know.

You know I know you know I know, I know you know I know you know.

……

Xixi eavesdropped on the whole process, especially the second half. Liu Jing didn't know about it, but he definitely eavesdropped on it.

The mother and her two daughters were sitting at the dining table, talking and chatting, when they suddenly fell silent.

It's not that we follow the rule of "don't talk while eating and don't talk while sleeping" and no one cares about these things when Teacher An is not at home.

Sister Li smiled and looked at this and that. It was so interesting.

Liu Jing had a thicker skin than a city wall. He was calm and composed and did not delay eating and drinking.

Xixi couldn't sit still any longer, so she pushed the bowl and chopsticks aside and said, "I'm full. I haven't driven for a long time, so I'll go for a drive first."

"Go wash the dishes and the pot." Sister Li ordered.

"Why should it be me..." Under Sister Li's gaze, Xixi's voice gradually weakened, and she went to the kitchen with the dishes and chopsticks.

"What did you just say? Tangren is going to go bankrupt? Didn't they get the mainland film and television distribution rights this year?" Sister Li still felt a little regretful. The scene just now was so interesting, but it ended.

When Tangren was first established, it always adopted the policy of "Hong Kong and Taiwan actors as red flowers, and mainland actors as supporting roles". This configuration was quite in line with the market at that time.

"The Legend of Sword and Fairy" was a turning point for Tangren. It boldly used newcomers and received a strong response, which also made Tangren's name famous.

Tangren is very poor. It was poor when it was founded, it was poor when it was developing, and it is still very poor now.

They do not have mainland distribution channels and usually make films through project financing, and then sell the films to other companies for distribution.

This has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that the risk is reduced, but the disadvantage is that the profit is less.

Tangren only produces one or two plays a year. Lao Cai says that this is to create quality products, but in fact the deepest reason is that there is no money and no people.

A few years ago, Lao Cai made a rule that the actor budget cannot exceed one-third of the investment of the entire play, and two-thirds of the cost must be spent on production.

This rule is indeed good and ensures the quality of the play.

This year, the sugar man finally has a distribution channel, and Lao Cai is ready to make a big move, launching it for the first time and fighting a good battle.

With the popularity of martial arts dramas in recent years, remaking Jin Yong's novels may not necessarily make huge profits, but it will certainly not lose money.

So after much choice, Lao Cai decided to release "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" as his first work.

"Hu Ge was in a car accident last night and his injuries are very serious. He may be disfigured. The protagonist is lying in the hospital, and The Legend of the Condor Heroes will definitely have to be suspended. You also know how much the crew will lose if they stop working for a day. Besides, Tang Ren can wait, and the other actors can't either. Even if the protagonist is changed temporarily now, the play will have to have additional investment." Liu Jing explained.

"Oh! He was a very good kid, but such a change happened at the peak of his career." Sister Li sighed.

She had a good impression of Lao Hu. When filming "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", he was quite respectful to her. More importantly, he was very well-behaved with Xixi.

Her impression of Jimmy Lin was quite good at first, but she was not happy with some of his remarks later.

"His assistant could not be rescued. I just spoke to Lao Cai on the phone. Someone took the opportunity to spread rumors that Tangren is about to go bankrupt. The staff are in a panic. The partners are worried." Liu Jing shook his head. There are many people who take advantage of others' misfortunes and fan the flames. Tangren will only have a harder time in the future.

"Oh! I've met his assistant. He was a nice person. I didn't expect he's gone like this." Sister Li's expression was full of regret.

"This is a blow to Tang Ren and Lao Hu." Liu Jing sighed.

"Sugar Man's funds are indeed tight, but it's not impossible to make ends meet. Don't underestimate Lao Cai, she has built up from nothing to where she is today, she has the vision and means. A crisis is indeed a crisis, but behind danger is often an opportunity, which may be a good thing for Sugar Man. Hu Ge became famous at a young age and was suddenly praised to a certain height. He acted a little too arrogantly some time ago. After this ordeal, I believe he will change his character and settle down." Sister Li has her own opinion.

"Xixi also became famous at a young age, so why doesn't she become proud of herself?" Liu Jing wondered.

"Haha, how can I be proud of myself having such an outstanding brother?" Xixi had just finished washing and came out of the kitchen wiping her hands.

"It's your honor." Liu Jing habitually hit back.

"It's your honor to have a sister like me." Xixi curled her lips and put her hands into Liu Jing's collar, making Liu Jing's hair stand on end.

"You want to freeze me to death, like an ice cellar."

"You guessed it, it's just out of the refrigerator."

"Hehe, Mu Tou, do you have any ideas about the sugar man?" Sister Li couldn't bear it anymore. The scene that was quite heartwarming before now looked quite awkward.

"See if we can make an investment." Liu Jing did have an idea. It was too slow for a single company to earn entertainment revenue, so he decided to invest in a few more film and television companies.

"Old Cai is petty and has a strong desire for control, so she may not agree. In the past two years, many people wanted to invest, but she rejected them without hesitation. When Xixi was filming "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" that year, I talked about this with Old Cai. She and Li Guoli have a good cooperation, and she is worried that if a new partner invests in Tangren, he will definitely interfere with Tangren's operations. Instead of quarreling and having conflicts in the future, it is better not to invite anyone in. If capital is introduced, people will want a return, which is not conducive to the company's operations." Sister Li smiled. She also had the idea of investing that year, but was rejected by Old Cai.

"If it works, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't matter." Liu Jing stood up and looked at Xixi, "Don't forget to wash the dishes. I'll make a phone call."

"No." Xixi rolled her eyes. When did washing dishes become my job?

"And mine." Sister Li also finished eating and wiped her mouth with a tissue.

"It's me again." Xixi was very dissatisfied.

"Wash it clean, I'll check it later."

"mom……"

"Calling ancestors is also your job."

"Ancestor."

……
-

Sister Li was right. When Liu Jing expressed his desire to buy shares, Mr. Cai did not decline politely but rejected him outright.

At this time, Lao Cai was looking at Liu Jing with a disappointed face, "I thought we were friends, but I didn't expect you to take advantage of the situation and add insult to injury. Liu Jing, I really misjudged you."

Time: September 9st afternoon.

Location: Jiaxing Hospital.

At the time of the incident, Liu Jing had just finished visiting Lao Hu when he happened to meet Lao Cai coming over. They chatted casually for a few words and revealed their intentions.

"You guys at Sugar Man have nothing. How can you compare with us at Chun Qiu? What can I want? I can't bear to see you go bankrupt. The Sugar Man brand has just been established, and it's a pity that it collapsed. I have this money, and it will make more money anywhere than giving it to Sugar Man." Liu Jing was in a bad mood, as if I had abandoned him.

"Sister K, Liu Jing is different from them." Liu Shishi also tried to persuade her.

"What's the difference? All men in the world are the same." Old Cai glared at Liu Jing and felt that he was overreacting.

What Liu Jing said makes sense. Instead of investing 10 million, it would be better to invest it in Chunqiu, so that the benefits can be seen faster.

Chunqiu Pictures is now ranked among the top three in the mainland film and television industry, while Tangren has just gained a foothold, and there is a big gap between them.

Of the two companies, Tangren was established earlier than Chunqiu. But Chunqiu has money and connections, and can release several dramas a year, which means more than a dozen in two or three years, which is equivalent to Tangren's ten years of hard work.

Today, Chunqiu has several branches, including Chunqiu Cinema Line, Chunqiu Fashion, which is responsible for clothing customization and rental, Chunqiu Prop Design, which is responsible for prop production and rental, and Chunqiu Beauty, which is responsible for makeup business...

When they were filming sugar figurines, they often rented costumes and props from Chunqiu.

"Don't look at me like that. I have good taste and I don't have any feelings towards you." Liu Jing was unhappy.

"You little brat, you even tease me." Old Cai rolled his eyes, pulled the little lion, and said earnestly, "Shishi, stay away from this guy in the future. He is a playboy, don't bother with him."

"Old K, can you please be frank with me? I won't interfere in how the company is run, just don't let it go bankrupt." Liu Jing was impatient and criticized me in front of me.

"You really won't interfere?" Old Cai asked suspiciously.

"I don't care about Chunqiu, let alone you Tangren. You are really narrow-minded. If I want to sabotage you, I will definitely stab you in the back first, and then drive Tangren into bankruptcy. If I show up as a savior at this time, let alone 20% of your shares, I will give you your entire company, and you will have to be grateful." Liu Jing sneered.

"Sister K, although Liu Jing is a bad guy, he always keeps his word. When we were filming 'The Book and the Sword' before, Liu Jing said that he would not interfere with the filming or casting and would only do the work of martial arts director. Later, when we were filming, he didn't ask anything at all." Liu Shishi helped from the side.

"Little lion, what's wrong with me? Be careful or I'll sue you for defamation." Liu Jing was dissatisfied.

"Whether you are a bad person or not, you know it in your heart. Do I need to tell you?" Liu Shishi looked gloomy. Twelve months a year, nine months of classes. When I was in Beijing Dance Academy, you came to our school nine times a year. On those days of the month, you were more punctual than my relatives. Every time you talked about casting, I never saw you choose one.

After a few years of this, Liu Shishi developed the illusion that Liu Jing wanted to pursue her.

She waited for Liu Jing to speak, and waited, only to find that it was not the case at all.

Liu Jing not only went to their school every month, but also went to the Affiliated High School of Beijing Dance Academy to find Jing Tian.

"Ahem, let me talk it over with Lao Li." Lao Cai couldn't stand it anymore and flirted with me in front of me.

She still felt a little jealous in her heart. She treated Liu Shishi as her own sister, and now her own sister was speaking for Liu Jing.

The girl was extroverted and had a tendency to be disloyal. She had no doubt that Liu Jing could easily take Liu Shishi away.

In addition to his financial ability, Hu Ge is currently in a low point, so it is not difficult to kidnap Hu Ge.

Because of filming "The Book and the Sword" together, Liu Jing has a good relationship with many employees of Tangren.

If he used the hoe, he could dig the sugar man down.

Old Cai shuddered when he thought of this. What Liu Jing said just now was clearly a warning.

"Old K, how are you going to break the impasse? The longer this matter ferments, the harder it will be to handle." Liu Jing was curious.

"We have already filmed half of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, especially Guo Jing, who has few scenes left. If we make a temporary replacement, not only will all the previously filmed scenes be invalid, but the morale of the company will become even more unstable. At this time, we can only suspend filming temporarily and wait for Hu Ge to recover. Over the years, only others have abandoned Tang Ren, but Tang Ren will not abandon its own people. This is my style of doing things, and it is also the cornerstone of our Tang Ren's livelihood. Don't abandon, don't give up, and everyone will work together to overcome the difficulties." Lao Cai gritted his teeth.

“If The Legend of the Condor Heroes cannot be resumed in time, Tangren may really go bankrupt and be acquired. Not to mention the expenses during the suspension period, they will also have to pay the TV station more than 10 million yuan in liquidated damages. Tangren can afford to wait, but they may not be able to wait for the adaptation rights of The Legend of the Condor Heroes.” Liu Jing poured cold water on him, trying to make Lao Cai face up to reality.

"Since my debut, I have encountered many difficulties, and I have solved them one by one. As long as I, Cai Yinong, don't fall, Tangren will not fall. I believe that Tangren will definitely have a tomorrow." Old Cai looked excited, as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

"It's a problem that can be easily solved, but you chose the most difficult path." Liu Jing shook his head.

"Sugar Man has his own stubbornness and style. It is because of his unique style that he has come this far. If I accept capital investment, Sugar Man will lose its soul and will no longer be Sugar Man. It is better to let it go bankrupt." Lao Cai said coldly.

"Liu Jing, Sister Cai treats us like family. I like the atmosphere of the sugar man." Liu Shishi looked at Liu Jing with tears in her eyes and anticipation.

Liu Jing's heart softened, and he took out a check. "Old K, this is 20 million. I originally wanted to invest in Tangren, and I wanted 10% of your shares for million. My price is not low. More than two months ago, Ma Jieke used to buy % of Huayi's shares. Tangren is far worse than Huayi, so I am more honest than Ma Jieke."

"You should take the money back." Old Cai refused to accept it. When Ma Jieke invested in Huayi, the two brothers were not interested in Ma Jieke's money, but Ma Jieke himself.

"This is a loan to you sugar men. It's not an investment and you have to pay it back." Liu Jing was annoyed. If it wasn't for Liu Shishi, he wouldn't have cared at all if Lao Cai had said that.

"Lend it to us? Aren't you afraid that Tangren will go bankrupt and we won't be able to pay it back?" Old Cai was very surprised.

"Shishi's face cannot be measured by ten million." Liu Jing said lightly.

Favorability +1
Favorability +1
After reading two messages, the little lion's tears finally fell.

This person is so bad, why is he so bad?

You are so bad, how can I forget you?
"Thank you." Liu Shishi choked.

"Why are you crying? Didn't I tell you that I'll take care of everything?" Liu Jing scolded.

"Yeah." Liu Shishi wiped her tears, and the more she wiped, the more tears she had.

Old Cai took a deep look at Liu Jing and said, "Give me another five million and I'll give you 30% of the shares."

"You should discuss it with Lao Li." Liu Jing was confused. He had no intention of investing anymore. Lao Cai responded very straightforwardly. It was no time to discuss it with Lao Li.

"When jackals come, we have shotguns; when friends come, we have good wine. Sugar men don't welcome jackals, but they welcome friends," Lao Cai explained.

Liu Jing sighed, saying that women are just as capable as men. What Sister Li said was right, Mr. Cai does have the means.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly. These middle-aged ladies he knew were more powerful than the other.

Sister Li, Zhang Min, my aunt, and Old Cai in front of me are not vegetarians.

What he didn't know was that the young women he knew were not vegetarians.

"If I'm not here, what are you going to do next?" Liu Jing asked.

"The filming of The Legend of the Condor Heroes can be stopped, but the filming of Sugar Man cannot. When filming Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, there was still some content that had not been filmed. Lao Li is ready to start this script, and the crew of The Legend of the Condor Heroes has been set up. The people cannot be idle, so as to reduce losses." Lao Cai explained.

"It seems that there is not much money in the sugar man's account."

"It's really not much. Lao Li and I are ready to sell everything we have. At worst, we'll just have to eat coarse food for the next two years."

"This is a last-ditch effort."

"Only by burning your boats can you be reborn from the ashes. Moreover, God will not let down those who work hard. I have been waiting for you. With your funds, the sugar man will be more confident and can face the crisis more calmly." Old Cai was in high spirits.

"I suddenly have confidence in Tangren." Liu Jing invested in Tangren originally to have another channel to earn entertainment revenue, but now he suddenly discovered that Tangren seemed to have a good future.

"Haha, I'm very curious, why do you like sugar men?" Old Cai laughed. Just as the storm came, she seemed to have seen a rainbow.

"Probably the name Sugar Man." Liu Jing sighed.

Chunqiu Pictures and Qinshi Capital now want Tangren Pictures.

Should Kangmei Pharmaceutical change its name?
"Isn't it because of Shishi?" Old Cai said with a smile.

The little lion's face flushed, and Liu Jing didn't explain.
