Global Movie Emperor

"Look, the funds are here."

After Feng Changhao operated the computer for a while, he stood aside and gave up his position to Lu Ze, but his expression was a little strange. As for what was strange... Lu Ze couldn't tell.

After taking a look at Feng Changhao, he was smoking a cigarette. After meeting Lu Ze's eyes, he smiled. Then he inadvertently moved away, looked out the window, and flicked the ashes in the ashtray.

Lu Ze felt a little strange. He was sitting on the chair. When he saw the computer screen, his face suddenly turned livid. He looked at Feng Changhao again. He was looking at Lu Ze. This expression seemed... to Lu Ze. Anger is not unexpected.

"Where's the money? Where's the money!!"

"The money is all here. Mr. Yang withdrew his capital and took away more than 80 million. The rest is here."

"Boom!"

"Are you not literate or am I not literate? I don't know how much this is? I graduated from fucking high school! How much is this? More than 270 million! Feng Changhao! Don't think of me as a fool!"

The money is simply not worth it! There should be a total of 550 million in the account. After excluding the 85 million Yang Yong took away with his divestment, there should be 465 million left. As for the money for special effects production, because the current technology has broken through barriers, the audience However, there is still not much innovation in the way of filming, and production has not become as difficult as before, so the price has dropped a lot.

The quotation given by the Rubik's Cube Project is 320 million, and it is paid in three installments. At present, only 35% of the total amount has been given, which is 112 million. There should be 350 million left in the account. Thirteen million, even if the salary and daily expenses of the crew are taken into account, there is at least about 320 million left. And now? Two hundred and seventy million! Including Yang Yong's 85 million, the account is now less than 130 million! Where did this money go?

Lu Ze suddenly felt like he was being fooled. He slapped the table and stood up. The veins on his forehead bulged. He glared at the Minister of Commerce, who had no conflict with him before. Due to his height and body shape, Lu Ze suddenly felt like he was being fooled. Advantage, Lu Ze looked particularly intimidating at this moment, frightening Feng Changhao into taking two steps back.

"Lu Ze, please be careful with your words when you speak? What are you excited about? What? Do you still want to hit someone? More than 270 million is correct. Don't you need money for filming? It's clearly written on the expense account. Every penny is right! Do you want to see it? If you want to see it, I will find it for you!"

Feng Changhao pursed his lips. He had expected Lu Ze's anger, but he didn't expect him to be so violent. He felt a little nervous, but he still gritted his teeth and pointed at the computer to prove that the amount was correct.

"Why don't you watch it? Why did a crew that didn't even go to the scene spend more than 70 million for filming for more than a month! Light a fire to keep warm? You are fooling me like a fool, right?"

Feng Changhao didn't respond. He carefully walked around Lu Ze and sat on the chair. He found a list of the crew's expenses. Then he put down the mouse and made way for Lu Ze to sit on it again.

Lu Ze slowly scrolled down the page, and his anger suddenly went out as if someone had poured cold water on him. He just felt that his body was getting colder and colder. He had figured out a lot of things, and now he finally solved all the confusion in his heart. .

Lu Ze looked at Feng Changhao and wanted to speak, but felt that his voice was a little hoarse and he couldn't open his mouth. He suddenly showed a self-deprecating smile and pointed at the computer.

"Minister Feng, can you tell me how an explosion scene cost more than seven million? I remember that the explosions were all cardboard boxes and plastic foam, right? These things plus explosives... Can it be worth more than seven million?"

"I'm not a professional in explosions. How do I know that it can blow up more than 7 million yuan? I don't know how to spend so much, but people who make explosions cost more than 6 million yuan. I can't pay for one cent less." It cost more than seven million to make, plus the scenery, approvals, connections, etc."

"You laundered the money, didn't you?"

"What? This kind of joke can't be made casually. Even if you are from the company, you can't joke about this matter. It's illegal! Don't mention it now. I'll just pretend you didn't say it."

"Heh... not only money laundering, but also corruption, right?"

Lu Ze thought things through from beginning to end. Apart from feeling stupid, he was only disappointed with Sega. He was extremely disappointed. Since Li Shanjun took over, this company has really changed and become unscrupulous. Lu Ze Ze is disgusting!

Perhaps, he is not stupid, but sincerely regards Qian Sega as his family. Even if the adults in the family change and he loses his parents, as long as the Qian Sega brand is still standing here, he will regard Qian Sega as his home. This is his Inherited from a family of martyrs, the root of the old Lu family is just one word, loyalty!

In fact, he and Hu Zhiguang... are the same person, willing to foolishly guard the Sega brand for the rest of their lives.

If Lu Ze's conjecture is true, then everything makes sense. On the premise that Sega wants to launder money, let's explain the whole story from the beginning.

First of all, Li Shanjun wants to launder money, and he has a media company in his hands. What is the best and safest way? Of course, making a movie.

How to launder movie money? It's not that he lied about the amount of investment, but that after the movie was released, the United Cinemas sold tickets in empty theaters. After all, there were no invoices for movie tickets. He could claim as much box office as he wanted. This thing cannot be checked, and who owns the largest theater chain? ?

Rongchuang!

Then Lee Sun-kyun doesn't even need to cooperate with other theaters to launder money. He only needs to operate it by himself. The film schedule is improved. The whole show is full in the middle of the night, and the seats are full of air. But the box office is just like this. Lee Sun-kyun wants to wash three One billion, then the box office is three billion. He has the final say on the box office.

So back to the movie itself, because it is a money laundering movie, it is best for the director to be one of his own, and the famous director Qian Shijia cannot sign the contract now, so he can only sign Bai Xiqun, and Bai Xiqun is eager to make a high-box office movie, even if it is a fake Yes, his reputation will also be greatly improved.

As for the script, Li Shanjun didn't think much about it at first, so he just found a script and started filming. However, Lu Ze was not satisfied with the script. Li Shanjun didn't care about what he filmed, so he asked Lu Ze to find someone to write whatever he wanted to film, while Bai Xiqun Woolen cloth? Of course he wouldn't refuse, because he was free to take photos of whatever he wanted.

It wasn't until Lu Ze brought out such a big notebook that Li Shanjun came up with the idea. Instead of washing out only a few of them, it would be better to find a notebook with a good reputation and wash out more books per ticket. It would be best to wash out all the books in one ticket. Li Shanjun would laugh out loud when he saw a good book with such a large investment. After calculation, Lu Ze was also confused as one of the money laundering plans.

The reason for looking for Lu Ze is even simpler. This movie needs a pillar, and it also needs to be one of his own. Lu Ze's participation only makes such a high box office more justified. It is also for this reason that Li Shanjun will Give Lu Ze the right to decide the script, as long as Lu Ze can act.

As for these young talents, I just give them a thumbs up in the hope that they can get a share of the glory of high-box office movies, so they use these young actors who have never even filmed a movie, otherwise it will be a big movie with hundreds of millions of investment. ! It's okay to bring one or two little ones, but who dares to let these kids play there?

After the filming started, Bai Xiqun's attitude was actually that Lu Ze had made a mistake. It was not because he was jealous that Lu Ze had seized power. Maybe there was just a little bit of such thoughts in it. More importantly, he really didn't care and was just messing around. .

As for Li Jianni, she has the same idea as Bai Xiqun, she is just fooling around. Are you talking about word of mouth? Her reputation was ruined when she was too busy attending commercial performances to make money and delayed filming. It was just a broken pot.

And the reason why she ignored Lu Ze's anger and still went her own way made Lu Ze's heart sink to the bottom. She was very close to Meng Nixin, so she may have received the news, and she dared not listen to Lu Ze, the first brother, It also means that Lu Ze's reputation as the first brother has basically existed in name only. This proves that... Li Shanjun wants to replace him!

Li Shanjun may be cultivating a new first brother, and the current goodwill towards Lu Ze is just a temporary soft policy. When the new guy grows up, there will be a smooth transition and then kick Lu Ze out. It would be a little bit to infer this from Li Jianni's attitude. It's too subjective, but if this movie is a money laundering movie, and Li Shanjun insists on having Lu Ze, who is in the spotlight, to participate, it can confirm the authenticity of this matter.

He is consuming Lu Ze's reputation and value. He doesn't care about Lu Ze's reputation at all. All he needs is to squeeze out the last value of Lu Ze, so that he can use the most economical way to put new people in the position. By then, Lu Ze will lose his reputation. Guang, if he drives Lu Ze out again, there won't be any trouble, so Lu Ze can be sure that Li Shanjun is ready to kill the donkey, and he is the donkey that is about to be slaughtered.

And he is not worried that Lu Ze will resist, at least he will not resist this money laundering movie. First of all, he has seen through Lu Ze's loyalty, and he has given Lu Ze a high degree of care and freedom during this period, such as It was said that Lu Ze was given the power to choose the script and so on.

Just as he imagined, if it were before, out of loyalty to Qian Sega, Lu Ze would probably keep silent about this matter and accept the company's arrangement. He only needs to play his role well. He doesn't care about anything else, and after the filming of this movie is completed, he will no longer follow the company's arrangements, and plans to decide all future movies by himself.

Li Shanjun might have expected this idea, but he didn't care at all, because even if he squeezed Lu Ze's value into dregs, he couldn't squeeze out the billions laundered by this money laundering movie!

Then again, if you lie about your investment, for example, you claim to have invested one billion, but in fact you only invested two to three billion, and you just use an explosion to show off where the rest of the money went, you won’t be able to find out after the explosion anyway. , I said how much it cost to blow up, that’s how much it cost to blow up. What is this called?

corruption!

The only person who dared to embezzle more than 50 million yuan was Li Shanjun. For him, the word "deduct" may be more appropriate, so why did he withhold the money? Lu Ze guessed it was because he couldn't bear it.

After all, if this money is considered money laundering, it is indeed a waste of money. Lu Ze even suspected that Yang Yong, or simply the other three shareholders, were fake! They are all people arranged by Li Shanjun. When the time comes, he can withdraw part of the funds in the name of divestment, and outsiders will not be able to find any fault.

So how much money did Lee Sun-kyun take away at once? More than 130 million! He couldn't bear to spend it, so he withheld it all. He didn't want to spend the money. It was a money laundering movie anyway, so he could make do with it, which made perfect sense.

In other words, everything from the establishment of the project to the draining of Lu Ze's value was within Li Shanjun's plan, but the only thing he didn't expect might be that Lu Ze's mental problems were exposed this time. After all, he is not a god. He didn't initiate this kind of thing, he definitely wouldn't have thought of it.

Before this, maybe Lu Ze would have kept silent about this money laundering movie, but now, even if he has not thought about these things, he will not compromise. Why? Because he feels uncomfortable! Is he willing to be the villain with a gun blocked? Doesn't he feel bad that he has become a villain?

But he is also human, and he will definitely be selfish. Compared with sacrificing his own future, it is obviously better to sacrifice the future of someone he hates, but his conscience is uneasy.

He dared not say that he had never done a single evil thing in his life, but he really didn't expect that one day he would do this kind of business that even disgusted him, even if it was the most appropriate solution given by the company. It was true that he blocked Lu Ze's storm perfectly, but now he can't sleep well!

He still remembered what Han Tian said to him. His situation today would also happen to him. If he acquiesced in the money laundering matter, and this matter was exposed in the future, wouldn't his situation be like what Han Tian said? Does that really happen?

If this incident breaks out, it will not be comparable to the neutral news that Lu Ze is mentally ill, but a real scandal. He does not want to be involved in such a scandal by then, and he does not want to give it to someone who is not from a famous family. But the old Lu family, who can be regarded as a well-established family, was humiliated! If he doesn't do this, even if he is beaten to death, he won't be able to do it.

Looking at Feng Changhao, whose expression gradually calmed down, he seemed to think that Lu Ze would choose to remain silent. It seemed that Lu Ze had calmed down and would not beat him up.

"Do you think I will admit it? I will turn a blind eye and finish filming this movie? And I won't beat you up?"

"What do you mean?"

Lu Ze suddenly stood up and grabbed Feng Changhao's collar. Looking at the panicked Feng Changhao, he smiled mockingly, then gently let go of Feng Changhao's collar and smoothed out the wrinkles he had pulled out.

"You're half right. I won't beat you. The other half is wrong...I won't choose to remain silent."

Turning around, he picked up the knitted windbreaker on the table, patted the non-existent dust on it, put it on himself, took out the cigarette case from his pocket, took out a cigarette, tilted his head slightly, lit the lighter, and blocked it with his right hand. Above the lighter, even though there was no wind in the room, the flame was beating, burning the tobacco. After taking a puff, the tobacco turned red for an instant, and then dimmed again.

He stuffed the lighter into the cigarette case, put it in his pocket, exhaled a puff of light blue smoke, and a smile appeared on his face. He glanced at the astonished Feng Changhao again, turned around and walked out.

Perhaps what she loves most is not watching Lu Ze smoke, but the manly choices he makes while smoking...

At this moment, he was indeed handsome.

"Do you know the consequences?"

"Consequences? I hate Han Tian very much, and I really fucking annoy him, but I did something wrong in this matter, and I owe him, so I have to pay him back. He is probably willing to accept it, and I... ....and get a good night’s sleep too.”

He answered Feng Changhao's words without looking back. He opened the door, walked out, and then gently closed the door. There was a click, and the door lock fit the door slot.

He came out.

Feng Changhao was left trapped in the room with a complex expression. He sat down, closed the computer, put his right elbow on the table, rubbed his forehead, and let out a long sigh.

"crazy."

"...."
