Lei Hongshen, who was sitting next to Xiao Yunhai, said, "Mr. Xiao, you're too serious. This is what we should do. There's no need to thank us."
Shu Junming smiled and said, "You're right, Mr. Lei. “
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "I'm mainly ashamed. As a director, I can't stay here forever. "
Lei Hongshen said, "Mr. Xiao, we all understand. Your identity is different now. You have too many companies under your control. It's normal that you're busy. Most artists enter the entertainment industry because they want to become famous and make money. It's not because they love their career. You're now the richest man in the world, but you can still spare a lot of time to shoot movies and TV series. This is something that more than 99% of people can't do. At the same time, it also shows that you really love this industry. I, Lei Hongshen, admire you very much. "
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "Mr. Lei, you're really my soulmate. The reason why I got to where I am today is because of luck. It's not because I'm capable. In my heart, I've always been an artist. "
Lei Hongshen smiled and said, "Come, let's drink to Mr. Xiao's words."
"Cheers."
This drinking session lasted for a full hour. In the end, the only ones who could remain sober, other than some people who really didn't drink, was Xiao Yunhai, who had a frightening alcohol tolerance. Lei Hongshen and Shu Junming were already lying on the table.
Seeing this situation, after Xiao Yunhai paid the bill, he had no choice but to ask more than ten service personnel to help everyone back to the hotel they were staying at.
After dealing with these drunkards, Xiao Yunhai went back to his room and took a hot bath.
Just as he was about to sleep, there was suddenly a knock on his door.
"Who is it?" Xiao Yunhai frowned and shouted.
"Mr. Xiao, it's me, Li Wenkang."
Li Wenkang was the director of finance sent by Hanhai Film Investment Company.
Xiao Yunhai looked through the peephole, opened the door, and saw a large stack of materials in his hand. He smiled and said, "Director Li, it's so late. What's the matter?"
Li Wenkang looked at the corridor and said, "Mr. Xiao, can we talk inside?"
Xiao Yunhai was stunned. He knew that he must have some secrets, so he nodded.
After the two of them sat down, Xiao Yunhai said, "Director Li, is there a problem with the accounts?"
Li Wenkang handed the documents to Xiao Yunhai and said, "Mr. Xiao, Assistant Director Shu Junming will be responsible for the use of funds.
I found some unsuitable places. "
Xiao Yunhai's eyes narrowed slightly, and he picked up the document to look at it. Written on it were Shu Junming's daily expenses ever since he started working. Any areas with problems had all been circled and annotated by Li Wenkang.
Xiao Yunhai looked at it from beginning to end and found that the bills were abnormal every day. When it was high, it was more than 6,000 yuan, and when it was low, it was only a few hundred yuan. The number of times they had to refuel was quite high, and even the accommodation fees were calculated according to each person. In a month, 265,000 yuan disappeared from the crew's funds.
Xiao Yunhai naturally didn't care about this small amount of money, but it was enough to show that Assistant Director Shu Junming's character wasn't good, and his hands were dirty.
Since Xiao Yunhai started filming, he had always hired experienced assistant directors to do the preparation work, and all of them had a lot of power. However, they had never encountered such a problem, and Shu Junming was the first.
Xiao Yunhai put the documents on the table and said, "This guy wants to make money, but he's doing it too openly."
Li Wenkang said, "Not only that, but the cost of the materials used to build the set is obviously more expensive. Shu Junming said that he used high-grade materials. In fact, it's no different from other crews. This difference is more than the previous ones added together. The initial estimate is around 400,000 yuan. In the entertainment industry, this is normal. Almost every crew has something like this. This Director Shu Junming hasn't been in Immensity Sea for long, and his old habits haven't been completely cured. Mr. Xiao, what do you think we should do about this? "
Xiao Yunhai thought about it and said, "When the water is too clear, there will be no fish. During this time, Shu Junming has done a lot for the Celestial Bane crew, and this is an indisputable fact. If we ask him to leave because of this, it won't make sense. Outsiders will also say that we're getting rid of him once he's done grinding. What's more, he's a member of our company, and he's quite capable. Give him a chance. If he changes, we'll treat it as if it never happened. If he doesn't change, we'll have done our best. "
Li Wenkang nodded and said, "Okay. I'll keep a close eye on this Shu Junming. I hope he doesn't make a mistake. "
After Li Wenkang left, Xiao Yunhai sighed and said, "The appearance is born from the heart. The ancients didn't lie to me."
It was a quiet night.
The next day, Xiao Yunhai finished his breakfast and went to the construction site of the Dripping Blood Cave.
Seeing that Lei Hongshen had already started working in front of the computer, Xiao Yunhai walked up and said with a smile, "Teacher Lei, did you have any problems last night? “
Lei Hongshen laughed and said, "Although my alcohol tolerance is average, I get drunk quickly and wake up quickly. I've never had a headache before."
Xiao Yunhai said, "The older the ginger, the spicier it is. Look at the other crew members. It seems that many of them aren't up yet. Assistant Director Shu didn't come either, right? "
Lei Hongshen said, "Mr. Xiao, you're wrong. Assistant Director Shu arrived an hour ago. We don't have enough materials for the Dripping Blood Cave, so he brought people to Hengdian Film City to buy materials. I think he'll be back soon. "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "So that's how it is."
Sure enough, in less than ten minutes, Shu Junming bought a lot of decorative items and came in with more than ten crew members.
When he saw Xiao Yunhai, Shu Junming hurriedly went up to greet him.
Xiao Yunhai asked, "Director Shu, where did you buy these? Are they expensive? "
Shu Junming smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Xiao, these things can only be bought from Hengdian Film City. They're expensive. These dozens of carts of materials cost a total of 100,000 yuan. "
Xiao Yunhai was stunned. He pointed at the items and asked, "Only these things cost 100,000 yuan? They're practically robbers.
They're robbers. "
Lei Hongshen clearly didn't expect these materials to be so expensive. He said, "When I was filming in Xiangshan, I used the same brand as this. At most, it cost 60,000 to 70,000 yuan. This Hengdian Film City is too shady. "
Xiao Yunhai looked at Shu Junming thoughtfully and said, "I, Xiao Yunhai, am rich, but I can't let people treat me like a fool. Director Shu, give me the invoice. I'll go look for the boss of Hengdian Film City personally. This is outrageous. "
When he heard Xiao Yunhai's words, Shu Junming's face turned pale. He said, "Mr. Xiao, there's no need to do this. Everyone has the same price. If we look for them because of this, I'm worried that it won't be easy to work with them in the future. After all, we'll be staying here for a long time. "
Xiao Yunhai snorted and laughed coldly. "Hengdian Film City won't dare to look for trouble with me. Unless they don't want to open it anymore. Hurry up and give me the invoice. I'll throw it at their boss's face. Hmph, I'd like to see if these greedy bastards have the guts to go against me. "
100,000 yuan for these materials was a joke.
Xiao Yunhai definitely didn't believe that Hengdian Film City would set such a ridiculous price. If it wasn't them, then it was clear who was behind this.
Xiao Yunhai had wanted to teach Shu Junming a lesson after hearing Li Wenkang's words last night. He didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly.
