Chapter 324: CCTV... What's going on?

"What? You want to shoot a TV series?"

Hearing Su Meng's words, Duan Jiangping was confused again.

Didn't they say they were going to shoot a movie? How did it turn into a TV series again?

But then he thought, a TV series is good; the shooting cycle for a TV series is long.

If you go shoot a movie again, will it take three days? Or five days?

At this stage, you should better hide your identity and stay safe.

A TV series is good; won't you have to shoot for several months?

By then, the storm will have mostly passed, and you can come out and make a scene then.

But...

Before he could think it through, Qin Jie has already spoken first.

"No problem! If you want to shoot, just shoot!"

"Let the boss be your producer, handle those messy trivial matters; you just focus on acting."

"How much investment are you preparing this time?"

Su Meng stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and finally made a decision.

"This time I'm preparing to play big; let's set the investment at one hundred million!"

"How much? One hundred million?" Hearing this number, Duan Jiangping's face turned green.

Have you ever shot a TV series? Zhang Zui just asks for one hundred million?

Qin Jie glared at him, then turned to Su Meng and became all smiles again.

"No problem! Isn't it just one hundred million? Sister has money!"

"By the way, how do you plan to split the ratio?"

Su Meng thought for a moment and went straight for a lion's share.

"I'll put in thirty million, write, direct, and act myself, holding 60% equity. The company puts in seventy million, holding 40%..."

"The company has no money!" Duan Jiangping's face turned green.

So you're treating the company as a sucker? Where does that leave me, the boss?

"Get lost!" Qin Jie kicked him right there.

"Look at your poor, shabby look! Isn't it just seventy million? Sister will pay! Sister has money!"

"Let Old Duan handle those messy matters; we'll just lie back and make money!"

Duan Jiangping was almost crying.

You have money? Where did your money come from; don't you have a clue in your own heart?

Wasn't it snatching my private savings, the money earned from "Sparkling Youth"?

This movie, which Su Meng shot in three days, "457", took away a full five hundred million from Bilibili, including the guarantee and revenue sharing!

There were also cinema box office revenues, product placements, and subsequent derivative copyrights...

A casual calculation showed the total revenue exceeded one billion!

But the problem is, the total investment for this movie was only a mere three million! How many times the return is that?

In this investment, Qin Jie held 40%, a full several hundred million in profits!

This money originally all belonged to me...

Duan Jiangping's heart was bleeding.

Seeing the matter settled, Su Meng nodded and continued speaking.

"Alright, let's settle on this for now."

"This time it's a war drama, the scale is quite large; I can't handle it alone, so I need a co-director skilled in large-scale scenes assigned to me."

"Then, matters like the TV series project initiation and filing, I'll leave those to you, boss."

"Regarding the actors, this time I need a large number of veteran actors; I'll draw up a preliminary list first."

"Alright, I'll leave first."

Watching Su Meng walk out, Qin Jie suddenly beamed with joy.

"Our Su Meng has finally grown up; he knows to bring Qin Jie along when making money."

"Last time three million earned several hundred million; how much will he earn this time?"

Duan Jiangping looked on, seeing her lost in the joy of counting money, her drool almost flowing out.

He really couldn't hold it back and said gloomily.

"Um... Qin Jie, I have to remind you of one thing."

"This is a TV series! It's going to be broadcast on TV stations!"

"But now, Su Meng has offended CCTV; which TV station would dare to take it?"

"Your money..."

Huh? Qin Jie froze instantly, her face suddenly turning incredibly pale.

"So that means... I'm going to lose seventy million this time?"

Duan Jiangping silently nodded; although a face full of gravity was on his face, his heart was incredibly happy.

Hahaha, made you show off! Did you learn your lesson this time?

After a long while, Qin Jie stamped her foot and finally made a decision.
