Chapter 276: Sickly Sweet

This sudden, strange meeting started just like that.

Strange was Liu Xiaoli's definition of this meeting.

Because she never thought that there would really be a meeting that was just as Chen Nuo said, "Everyone just treat it as coming to chat."

In her view, whenever someone said that, it was all bullshit.

Meetings only look like meetings, just as chatting only looks like chatting.

As a result, this meeting she had never seen before lasted for more than two hours, and it never looked like a meeting; it really looked like chatting.

Pulling here, chatting there.

Everyone said some things, as if they said a lot, and as if they said nothing at all. There were complaints and expectations, nonsense, and shy requests.

There were long-famous actresses, unknown female artists, newly promoted directors who were already quite famous in the mainland, and a perverted Hong Kong pervert who didn't act like a human.

No matter what anyone said.

Even if Liu Xiaoli wore polarized glasses, she had to admit at this moment that in this kind of meeting where people chat, that little guy was really quite charming.

Not at all like a young man in his 20s,

It was the charm of a mature man that only a mature woman like her could appreciate.

No matter who it was or what they said, he didn't have any airs, listened very seriously, gave his own opinions from the other party's perspective, and would also try to find ways to solve problems.

That feeling was really mature to the point of being scary.

While listening, Liu Xiaoli was thinking, if she were an artist under him and encountered such a boss, she was afraid she would also...

She couldn't help but sigh softly in her heart; no wonder Xixi would steal money for him, it was really a debt of fate.

Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but feel that maybe this matter should be forgotten; after all, that money of hers was indeed saved for Xixi.

This girl is young and wants to take money to raise a man, so she, as a mother, has no way.

After all, men should marry when they are old, women should...

No.

It's casting a long line to catch a big fish; you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing the child.

Although 20 million is a lot, if the relationship can be improved, thinking about it, it's still okay.

20 million, even if it's really lost, Xixi is still young, and her recent development momentum is good, maybe she can earn it back in a few years.

However, after this old cadre tea party ended, Chen Nuo announced the end of the meeting and specifically asked Liu Yifei to stay behind, Liu Xiaoli still felt a shock in her heart and raised her spirits to the twelfth degree.

This little bastard, don't push your luck with my daughter!

If 20 million is not enough, then I, Liu Xiaoli, can only sacrifice myself to...

No, it should be sacrifice my life to accompany...

Also no.

In short, this little bastard shouldn't think about cheating Xixi out of another cent!

However, contrary to Liu Xiaoli's expectations, after others went out, Chen Nuo didn't say anything, but directly threw over a contract and said: "Yifei, and Liu Ayi, you two take a look together."

Looking at this, Liu Xiaoli almost popped her eyeballs out.

Liu Yifei had never encountered such things and was still frowning, using her little head to understand what every word and sentence on the contract meant.

But Liu Xiaoli only flipped through a few pages and already raised her head, asking with a dazed face: "Little Chen, you... you are this..."

Chen Nuo didn't answer, but handed over another document, smiled, and said: "There's also this, Liu Ayi, you take a look, and then explain it to Yifei. I think she might not understand."

"You're the one who doesn't understand!" Liu Yifei raised her head and said a bit angrily: "Chen Nuo, I understood. I tell you, my money is for... is lent to you, not to buy your shares!"

Chen Nuo was too lazy to ignore this silly woman and said to Liu Xiaoli: "Liu Ayi, you also know that Liu Yifei lent a sum of money to me some time ago, or rather, lent it to the company, totaling 20 million. This 2% equity transfer agreement is actually not transferred by me; it was allocated by this Qi Yuntian, Qi Zong, from his shares."

"20 million, considered the money Yifei put in to buy shares in the company."

"The latter document is the brokerage agreement I, Chen Nuo, just signed with the Huanran Yixin company. Signed for 20 years, and the attachment contains my current advertising contracts and acting contracts."

"Starting from January 1, 2009, all my personal income, whether it's movies, TV dramas, or advertising endorsements, all related acting work remuneration, will enter the company account and be divided among the shareholders."

"Among them..."

Among them...

Liu Xiaoli was listening to Chen Nuo's words while flipping through the materials in her hand.

American Mattel, 4 years, 7 million US dollars.

American Harry Winston, 5 years, 10 million US dollars.

Chinese Li Ning, 4 years, 42 million.

Chinese Angel diapers, 3 years, 30 million.

According to Chen Nuo, just these four endorsements alone, Huanxin Company could bring in 50 million every year in the future.

Liu Xiaoli didn't know how many Chinese stars could earn 50 million a year just by endorsements, but at least she hadn't heard of one.

Even if there were, it would probably be Zhang Ziyi, who earned 78 million a year on this year's Forbes celebrity list, as well as Da Yao, Liu Xiang, etc.

This is still a small matter.

Most importantly, what made Liu Xiaoli almost unable to breathe was,

Chen Nuo's acting fee.

South Korea's *Mother* and *Under the Hawthorn Tree* were both filmed by Chen Nuo in 2008, and the acting fee was naturally recorded in 2008. Liu Xiaoli knew that this naturally did not appear in it.

However, he counted the acting fee for *Twilight*, which was signed and filmed in 2008, into this year's accounting, because it only started to arrive one after another from January 2009.

Needless to say, this was clearly sending money.

And it wasn't a small amount of money, it was a full 440 million RMB!

Just this 440 million plus the 50 million endorsement fee, Liu Xiaoli used elementary school math to calculate, and knew that it added up to 490 million, and of this 490 million, Liu Yifei's 2% could get 9.8 million.

Not including this year's *Twilight 2*,

On this document, it was clearly stated that his *Twilight* second and third parts were both signed with profit-sharing agreements!

Although not as exaggerated as *Twilight 1*, as long as the global box office sells 200 million, he can still get 10%.

Although Liu Xiaoli is not a box office analysis expert, even a fool knows,

*Twilight 1*'s shoddy production could get 635 million US dollars globally, so *Twilight 2*, which had a larger investment, couldn't be bad.

Even if it's a failed sequel, a global box office of 500 million US dollars should be no problem.

Calculated this way, Chen Nuo's pre-tax acting fee is also a full 50 million US dollars!

As long as that damn sci-fi suspense film by Nolan doesn't lose money, by the end of this year, the 20 million that Liu Yifei lent out behind her back can be recovered by more than half.

Starting from next year, 2010, every dividend brought to Liu Yifei by 2% of the company's shares will be pure extra income.

The most, most, most, most critical thing is that from this moment on, Liu Yifei cannot simply be considered an artist under Huanxin Company.

In a sense, it can even be said that not only is Chen Nuo her big boss, but she is also Chen Nuo's little boss.

Because not only does Chen Nuo have to take her share, but she can also share in Chen Nuo's endorsements and acting fees every year.

Think about the future money prospects.

In this 2009, just the acting fees and endorsements contributed by Chen Nuo will definitely be close to 1 billion.

However, does Huanxin Company have only one artist, Chen Nuo?

A portion of our own Xixi's acting fees and endorsements will also be recorded in the company's account, and there is also Fan Fan Binbing, Ning Hao, that little fatty, and those two new actors who look good in image and temperament...

From now on, Liu Yifei will have a share of all their income.

A company with an annual profit of about 1 billion, if valued in the capital market, 20 million occupying 2% is definitely a super bully meal that only the prince of princes can eat.

Perhaps this calculation is a bit rough,

After *Twilight* ends in the future, Chen Nuo's acting fee may not necessarily be so much, and Huanxin Company's annual profit may not always maintain such an unimaginably high level.

However...

Still the same sentence, so what? As long as God blesses, the film invested in this time can break even.

The 20 million they invested can be recovered in the first year, and every year after that will earn at least millions or tens of millions net.

Where in the world can you find this kind of business?

It's not that you can't find it, for example, Colombia, the Golden Triangle also has it.

But that requires the mentality of being ready to see King Yama at any time.

The glib-tongued Liu Xiaoli didn't know what to say at this time.

She held the information tightly with both hands and looked at the young man sitting in the main seat with complex eyes.

Compared to him, what was that Chen something-or-other before?

If she had met him earlier, how could there be so many things?

Oh no, no, he is only one year older than Xixi. It couldn't be earlier. Sigh.

"Mom, let me see again, what is written on your copy?" Liu Yifei next to her tugged at the agreement in Liu Xiaoli's hand, but couldn't pull it.

Liu Xiaoli, like Chen Nuo, ignored her silly daughter.

She looked at him.

Just like on the top of the Forbidden City, on the night of the full moon, Ximen Chuixue looked at Ye Gucheng.

The eyes were as focused as they could be, as serious as they could be.

"Little Chen, you're not joking?"

Chen Nuo smiled slightly and asked instead of answering: "Liu Ayi, do you need a lawyer?"

Fan Fan Binbing, invested 50 million, Chen Nuo transferred 5% to her from his own 80% shares.

Liu Yifei, invested 20 million, Qi Yuntian transferred 2% to her from his 20% shares.

This was the result discussed after Chen Nuo called Qi Yuntian to the villa that day.

Actually, at the beginning, Chen Nuo wanted to allocate both people's shares from his 80%,

But Qi Yuntian firmly disagreed.

Finally, Chen Nuo thought about it and felt that Qi Yun had a point; in business, let's do it this way.

So in the final share division, there were four shareholders in Huanxin Company.

Chen Nuo 75%, Qi Yuntian 18%, Fan Fan Binbing 5%, and Liu Yifei 2%.

The signing of the brokerage contract between Chen Nuo and Huanxin Company also meant that its original studio operation method, which looked like a makeshift team, officially embarked on a standardized company operation model.

From now on, Chen Nuo is not only the chairman of the company but also an artist under the company.

Just like Fan Fan Binbing and Liu Yifei, they are both artists and shareholders.

It can be said that the interests of several people are completely tied together from now on.

Just like Fan Fan Binbing said when she saw the contract Chen Nuo gave her before the meeting started, crying and laughing, and then crying and laughing again,

No one in this life should think about taking away from her, or forcing her to give up, the right to suck blood from Chen Mouren!

With these 5% now, she doesn't have to worry about what she worried about in the past.

She can even relax the strings on her body a little, not working as hard as before, as if she must earn enough money for a lifetime while her youth and beauty are still there.

"But, Chen Nuo, you know, I didn't, didn't want this." Fan Fan Binbing looked at the agreement at that time, crying while sobbing, and saying stutteringly.

She didn't call him Boss, didn't call him Chen Zong, and didn't call him any of those messy titles.

Chen Nuo smiled and said "I know, of course," rubbed her head, and hugged her.

Just preparing to say something.

But Fan Fan Binbing suddenly hugged him back tightly.

If it weren't for the fact that it was still early for the meeting, and the office building that bastard Qi Yuntian bought was really too big, even if half of it was for self-use, there were still 800 square meters, which was really sparsely populated.

Maybe in a while everyone would know that the sound of Fan Fan Binbing crying is no different from ordinary women.

If there is, it's at most when crying with joy, she will hug people and kiss them randomly.

When Liu Xiaoli was in the conference room, almost following Fan Fan Binbing, crying with joy for her silly girl.

Zhao Liying came to Hearing Qi Yuntian office.

Just now in such a meeting that didn't look like a meeting, she almost didn't say anything.

Qi Yuntian obviously didn't care about this, and after chatting with her for more than half an hour, she left with a complex mood.

Zhang Xinyu and Agent Zhou had been waiting outside for a long time.

Several people didn't leave the company; anyway, the place was big, so they found a corner hidden by a bookshelf and found a sofa to sit down.

Then Zhang Xinyu asked impatiently: "What did Qi Da say to you?"

Zhao Liying looked at her good friend and said with a complex expression: "Qi Da asked me to specialize in TV dramas in the future."

Zhang Xinyu gave an "ah," but immediately said: "That's also quite good, as long as the company is behind you, you will definitely receive female lead roles in the future! Definitely! Little Ying, we are going to be popular! Hahahaha... really want to tell Shishi this news quickly, she said at the time that we... humph, now let's see what she says!"

Zhao Liying didn't say that Qi Da called her back to prepare, because Chen Nuo said she was suitable for ancient costumes, so the company arranged two ancient costume drama auditions for her, one was Zhang Jizhong's *Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre*, and another was called *Beauty's Rival in Palace*.

She looked at her good friend with envy and said: "You are going to film a movie, and you are still the female lead. Xinyu, just like you said before, you finally waited."

Zhang Xinyu laughed and said: "Hahaha, no, it's not 100%. Just let me try. Heard from Qi Da, Director Li Yu has high requirements, I might not be able to. It's just that the company arranged it, so I had to bite the bullet."

Saying that, she suddenly remembered the perverted fatty she met just now. After she refused him, when the meeting ended, he followed the one surnamed Wen.

Hehehe, Wen Yongshan looks like she really broke up with Nuo Nuo. It's really gratifying and the whole world celebrates. If it weren't for the company's affairs being strictly forbidden to be spread, humph humph.

Today I really have to share it with the Nuomi sisters.

"Miss Wen, Miss Wen. Please, let me finish, okay?" Handsome Pang followed behind Wen Yongshan, begging bitterly in Cantonese.

Wen Yongshan walked to the water dispenser in the office area, poured a glass of water, drank two sips, and also said helplessly in Cantonese: "I've already told you, I have things at home recently, I'm very busy. I just came back from Hong Kong today. And, I haven't finished school, I'm not ready to take on roles."

Pang Ho-cheung laughed: "Miss Wen, of course I know. I also know you're studying."

"I can wait for you to graduate, you're graduating next year, right? It's okay to start filming then. It's just, please take the script to Chen Zong to take a look, if he thinks it's okay, then it's good to schedule. His schedule is so precious, is it too much to be a year in advance?"

"Miss Wen, I wrote this script, really for you two. If you don't film it, the script I wrote can only be acted by ghosts."

"Please, please."

For this shameless Hong Kong fellow, Wen Yongshan had no choice for a while, sighed helplessly, and said: "Alright, then I'll help you show it to Nuo Zai, but what the result will be, I don't know."

"Good, good, good." Pang Ho-cheung hurriedly piled up a smile, "Thank you, thank you Miss Wen. I'll take the script to you later."

"No need, no need." Wen Yongshan nodded, suddenly remembered, and asked: "By the way, what's the name of your script?"

"Called *Love in a Puff*, or *Love in the Buff*, anyway, whatever."
