Chapter 1423: Better safe than sorry, two million investment
Powder room.

Su Mingzhe sat in front of the dressing table, feeling Ye Xiaolang's warm little hands brushing his cheeks from time to time. The fragrance of orchids kept entering his nostrils, making him feel distracted and starting endless reverie.

It was probably five minutes, maybe ten minutes later.

Su Mingzhe suddenly realized that the orchid fragrance was moving away from her. When she opened her eyes, she saw Ye Xiaolang standing not far away in the mirror, looking at her "masterpiece" with her big, black and clear eyes.

Ye Xiaolang was quite satisfied with her makeup skills. When she saw the man open his eyes, a gentle smile immediately appeared on her charming face:

"Teacher Su, are you satisfied?"

"Yes, this is the first time I know I can be so good-looking!"

Hearing Su Mingzhe's praise, Ye Xiaolang, a northern girl, couldn't hold back and laughed heartily twice before complimenting him:
"Teacher Su, you have a good image and good temperament. When you put makeup on other people, the effect is not so good."

People carry people in sedan chairs.

The fact that Ye Xiaolang was able to intern at a TV station shows that regardless of how capable he is, he at least has high emotional intelligence.

The two chatted and laughed, and their relationship immediately became much closer.

After a while, Assistant Dong came in and saw that Su Mingzhe had already put on his makeup. He quickly asked Su Mingzhe to go out to see if he was satisfied with the venue and lighting.

Because he doesn't show his face, Su Mingzhe doesn't care about anything else.

Of course, it was also because Assistant Dong was smart and sent the most beautiful Ye Xiaolang to accompany him.

With Ye Xiaolang's company, Su Mingzhe completed the interview video smoothly.

"Teacher Su, thank you for your hard work!"

Assistant Dong saw that the interview task was completed perfectly, and hurriedly shook hands with Su Mingzhe to express his gratitude.

"Thanks to everyone for their hard work!"

Su Mingzhe looked at Assistant Dong, who was bowing his head, and felt a surge of emotion in his heart.

He vaguely remembered that the entertainment industry twenty years later was very hierarchical, with big fish eating small fish and small fish eating shrimps.

But I didn’t expect that the film and television industry in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s would be like this.

After thinking for a while, Su Mingzhe took out ten big unity notes from his pocket and handed them to Ye Xiaolang beside him:
"Xiao Ye, could you please help me order lunch? Everyone has worked hard today. I'll treat everyone to extra meals!"

"..."

Ye Xiaolang looked at the money in his hand, feeling a little confused.

She had never encountered such a situation before and didn't know how to deal with it, so she could only look at Assistant Dong.

Fortunately, Assistant Dong knew that Su Mingzhe was not short of money, so he nodded and thanked him:
"Thank you, Mr. Su, for the treat!"

After expressing his gratitude, Assistant Dong promptly spoke to other staff members and told them about Su Mingzhe's treat.

There were only a dozen people working in the studio today, and a dozen idle staff members from the TV station acting as spectators, so all together there were less than thirty people.

The purchasing power of one thousand yuan in 90 is much greater than that of ten thousand yuan thirty years later.

Su Mingzhe's move was so generous that it naturally drew cheers from everyone.

After everyone thanked them happily, Su Mingzhe smiled at Assistant Dong and Ye Xiaolang and invited them:

"Xiao Dong, Xiao Ye, I have booked a table at the Crystal Palace tonight and I am inviting everyone to dinner. You two should come over and join in the fun!"

"Teacher Su, you are too polite. We won't go."

Assistant Dong knew his position. He was the most basic manager in the TV station. On weekdays, he could only suppress newcomers and interns like Ye Xiaolang. In front of a great writer like Su Mingzhe, he had no presence at all.

Now that Su Mingzhe had invited him to dinner, Assistant Dong thought it was just Su Mingzhe being polite and he couldn't take it seriously.

"Xiao Dong, please don't be polite. I'm really sorry to have troubled you for so long today."

Su Mingzhe said, laughed, and waved his hand to confirm the matter:

"You and Xiaoye must come over at night!"

"...Okay then, we will be there on time!"

Assistant Dong was no fool. When he saw Su Mingzhe repeatedly mentioning words like "you guys" and "Xiao Ye", a light bulb suddenly lit up in his head and he immediately realized that he was not qualified to attend Su Mingzhe's party. However, Su Mingzhe invited him in this way, which might be a case of "Xiang Zhuang dancing with a sword to target Pei Gong".

After realizing this, Assistant Dong stopped refusing. Watching Su Mingzhe go to find Director Zhang, Assistant Dong turned around, looked at Ye Xiaolang meaningfully, and smiled:
"Xiao Ye, count the number of people eating first, then go and order food. Everyone has worked hard. After lunch, clean up and everyone should go home early today!"

"Okay, Teacher Dong!"

Although Ye Xiaolang was smart, he had little social experience. Before he had the chance to experience the dangers of society, he excitedly took the money and went to a nearby restaurant to order lunch. He did not notice that Su Mingzhe and Assistant Dong had reached a tacit understanding on her issue.

the other side.

Su Mingzhe found Director Zhang and first told him about the party he was hosting in the evening.

Director Zhang agreed immediately, and Su Mingzhe handed him a cigarette and said with a smile:

"Brother, there is one more thing. Can you help me keep an eye on my interview video and make sure no one uses it inappropriately?"

"Don't worry, we are all family, no one dares to mess around!"

Director Zhang understood what Su Mingzhe was worried about.

In this era, journalists are the mouthpiece of public opinion, and are known as the "uncrowned kings" by word of mouth.

If they are righteous journalists, they will bravely expose the problems and dark sides in society, and then face the threats and difficulties coming from all sides.

As for those greedy and cunning reporters, their skill is to take things out of context, distort the facts, and call a horse a zebra, making it hard to guard against.

Although Su Mingzhe is not afraid of being messed with by the TV station, it would be best if he could avoid any accidents in advance.

After all, it takes only one mouth to spread a rumor, but it takes a lot of effort to dispel it.

Seeing that Director Zhang had agreed, Su Mingzhe said goodbye and went to find the other main creators and leading actors to explain the dinner plan.

night.

Crystal Palace.

A group of people gathered in a large box, toasting each other and drinking three rounds of wine.

As everyone got drunk, they inevitably started talking about the rumors that everyone has been paying attention to recently.

The TV station is preparing to make its film and television production center independent.

One of the important reasons why Director Zhang took so much effort to make "Desire" was that he knew about this matter in advance. Then, in order to gain control of the independent production center, he tried his best to show his talents.

Now, Director Zhang has shot the hit "Desire", and everyone is congratulating him in advance on his meteoric rise to fame.

Seeing Director Zhang's high spirits, Su Mingzhe didn't want to discourage him, but as an old friend, he still reminded him:
"Every unit is clamoring for reform now. In my opinion, it would be better to directly follow the operating model of the 'foreign trade company' and set up your own studio or media company, operate independently, and be responsible for your own profits and losses. You only need to pay the TV station some registration fees every year."

After hearing Su Mingzhe's proposal, everyone applauded.

Even Director Zhang was somewhat moved:

"Lao Su's proposal... Actually, I have thought about it, and it has even been mentioned above. However, it is easy to say 'self-financing', but there is a key question, where does the start-up capital come from? You know, to set up a studio, even if it shoots a TV series a year, the minimum cost is more than two million... If no one watches the TV series, it will all be wasted..."

"If you're willing to open a studio, I'll invest the two million. I don't ask for too much in shares, just give me 40%!"

Su Mingzhe still trusted Director Zhang's ability. Seeing that he seemed interested, he patted his chest and said that he was willing to pay.

Everyone in the box was shocked when they heard Su Mingzhe's heroic words.

Ye Xiaolang, who was sitting beside him, had little stars twinkling in his eyes.

As a college student in internship, she now has problems with clothing and food, but the man next to her actually asked for an investment of "two million". The impact of this is no less than hearing at a college gathering in later generations that a classmate can invest 200 million in the Internet.

"Brother, are you serious?"

Director Zhang was also moved.

If he could have his own studio that listened to him completely, why would he go to a production center?

"Of course it's true. Others have testified. As long as I take the lead, I can transfer the money to your account tomorrow!"

Su Mingzhe is really not short of money. His bank deposits currently exceed 10 million.

He would be happy to invest two million in Director Zhang even if it went to waste.

"Then it's settled!"
