Chapter 93 Go and kill Sun Wukong
After resting for two days, Lin Yu finally regained some of his energy.
On Monday morning, as soon as he arrived at the studio, he saw Lin Yufen nestled on the sofa in the reception room, with several hard disks on the coffee table in front of her.
"So early?" Lin Yu was somewhat surprised.
"What do you mean 'early'?" Lin Yufen looked up. "The special effects for the first ten episodes of 'My Love from the Star' are all done. Take a look and see if there's anything that needs to be changed."
Lin Yu was taken aback: "It's only been a little over a month, and the efficiency is already this high?"
"This isn't considered fast. The amount of time needed for special effects in this show isn't that much to begin with." Lin Yufen waved her hand and sat up from the sofa. "And most of it is light special effects, so this is considered normal efficiency."
"You've worked hard." Lin Yu poured her a cup of hot water.
"It's not hard work. After this show is finished, I'll have enough money to take a good rest for a while." Lin Yufen waved her hand. Although she had basically been living in the special effects company for just over a month, when she thought about the money she received, she felt that this hard work was nothing.
"Then you'd better get some rest." Lin Yu laughed. "I bought an adapted script, and it'll be finished in a few days. I'll need you to direct it."
"Alright then." Lin Yufen nodded.
Although she only signed a cooperation contract with Lin Yu for the drama "My Love from the Star", she doesn't mind working under Lin Yu after working together for a while.
It's not shabby to earn money.
"Then it's settled." Lin Yu stood up. "Shall we try it out now?"
"You decide."
She came today specifically for this. Lin Yu had left all the post-production work to her, so she wanted to show Lin Yu the results of her work over the past month. If there was anything she wasn't satisfied with, she could make adjustments in time.
"Let's wait until this afternoon. I'll call a few people over, and we can have an internal screening." Lin Yu picked up his phone and started scrolling through his contacts.
We need to ask China Film Group, since they invested money in the project. Even though Uncle Han is no longer with China Film Group, we still need to inform them.
We also need to ask Huayi. Although they didn't invest any money, those people did give some sponsorships through Huayi. Although Huayi cut ties with those people under Lin Yu's instructions, the channels of contact are still there, and Lin Yu is still hoping to swindle another sum of money.
Whether Wang Jinghua comes or not is irrelevant. Although the main actors in this drama are all under her management, they have little to do with her. It would be interesting if she were to fight with the two Wangs from Huayi Brothers.
I still need to call on my second brother. This time it's different from "12 Citizens". Last time it was my second brother's private investment. He embezzled, so be it. At worst he'd just get a beating when he got back.
This time, the money came from a foundation jointly run by several older siblings. If it gets embezzled, we'll probably be fighting from the Lunar New Year to the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Okay, that should be all. Oh, and we should also call those two old men from the Beijing Film Academy to show them how excellent his first "independently directed" TV series is.
Lin Yu calculated for a moment and figured out that was about all the people there were. He settled into the boss's chair and dialed his second brother's number first.
"My dear second brother," Lin Yu said, leaning back in his boss's chair with the phone in hand, "with all these years of brotherhood between us, do you think I would swindle ten million from you?"
"It's not a question of whether you can or can't, it's that you've already done it!" It was my second brother's angry voice on the other end of the phone.
When Lin Yu told him he wanted to make a movie, he took out ten million yuan and gave it to Lin Yu without hesitation. When the movie was released and the box office was pretty good, he also went to great lengths to get it recommended by the political and legal system.
He just stayed home waiting for Lin Yu to split the money, but the kid told him that he used the money to open a studio and it wasn't considered an investment.
My money! This is all clean money he worked hard to earn abroad!
Lin Yu listened to his second brother's roar without any emotion; he even felt a little amused.
He's been eyeing his second brother's secret stash of money for a long time. It's such a waste to leave such a large sum of money sitting there doing nothing. Doesn't he know the importance of stimulating domestic demand?
Since the second brother is just leaving the assets lying around unused, then it's up to him, the younger brother, to help "revitalize" them.
Besides, he only took a small fraction of that amount of money. To say he felt guilty? Absolutely not.
"Second Brother, think long-term," Lin Yu said slowly. "You only get a few dollars from a movie, but I'll convert that into shares in my studio for you."
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone.
"Then how many shares will you give me in return?" The second brother's voice calmed down.
"I'll give you five per thousand," Lin Yu casually gave a number.
"How much?" The second brother's voice rose again. "Your lousy studio has only been open for a few days, and its valuation has already reached 2.5 billion?"
"That's called future value," Lin Yu said confidently. "Don't you believe me, Second Brother?"
There was another silence on the other end of the phone.
"Five percent, that's the lowest I can go," the second brother finally spoke, his voice very calm. "I'm not going to take advantage of you."
Lin Yu smiled: "One percent, that's my bottom line."
Three percent.
One and a half percent.
"Deal." The second brother's voice suddenly became relaxed. "My dear brother, I'll have the lawyer draft the agreement. We'll meet this afternoon after the screening."
Lin Yu originally wanted to find a reason to give away some shares and make some money together so that their friendship could last.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yu leaned back in his chair and looked through his contacts.
"Wait, don't I have an assistant?" Just as he was about to dial another number, he remembered that Li Yitong was supposed to come to work today.
-----------------
Li Yitong was stunned when she saw the phone number Lin Yu had given her.
She came to the company early this morning to complete her onboarding procedures, a process that Sister Hua taught her yesterday when she helped her move.
Although Wang Jinghua also serves as the HR director of Lin Yu's studio, she spends most of her time at her own company. She casually taught Li Yitong the entire onboarding process so that she could handle it herself when she started work on Monday.
After getting her employee ID and sitting down at her brand-new desk, before she could even exclaim, "I finally have a stable job," Lin Yu called her in and handed her a number.
"This is the private number of Wang Zhonglei, CEO of Huayi Brothers," Lin Yu said casually. "Give him a call and tell him there's an internal screening of 'My Love from the Star' at 2 PM this afternoon, and ask him to come over."
Then, Lin Yu waved for her to leave.
Less than a minute before and after.
Li Yitong is now sitting at her desk, looking at her phone, feeling a little sweaty.
"Is it really appropriate for a new assistant like me to call the second-in-command at Huayi?" she muttered to herself. "What's the difference between this and sending Little Drill Wind to fight Sun Wukong?"
"Won't the boss have a problem with me?" Li Yitong's mind raced. "He just gave me a random number to contact Huayi's CEO, and when I couldn't reach him, he fired me because he's incompetent?"
No! I just moved! My new home!
