When Chen Kaige heard the figure "5.36 million US dollars" from Tao Yushu, his mouth couldn't help but open wide, and his eyes showed a look of disbelief. This was not the first time Chen Kaige participated in the film festival, so he naturally knew the role of awards in blessing films, but

This number still shocked him.

After all, I had only heard about it before, but this time I saw it with my own eyes, even the amount of copyright transactions created by his own movies. After being shocked, Chen Kaige felt a little disappointed.

It only costs a few thousand yuan for him to direct a film.

Looking at Chen Kaige's expression, Tao Yushu smiled at Lin Chaoyang. The couple seemed to have a tacit understanding.

The so-called money moves people's hearts. Chen Kaige's remuneration for filming a movie is only a few thousand yuan. After knowing the profit of the movie, it is inevitable that his mentality will be unbalanced. Tao Yushu will not accuse him from the moral high ground, especially when he is used to seeing Hong Kong.

After those profit-seeking filmmakers.

Since we are doing business, we should talk less about emotions and more about interests, and talk about business in business. Chen Kaige deserves a lot of credit for "The King of Children" winning the award.

Although she did not mention dividends or bonuses in advance, she still decided to give Chen Kaige a certain reward, and Lin Chaoyang had no objection to this. Tao Yushu's idea was not only about rewards, but also became more and more sophisticated.

After talking about the overseas copyright transaction of "Kids King", Tao Yushu entered the room. When she came out again, she was carrying a black suitcase. Chen Kaige looked at her with some confusion. Tao Yushu put the black suitcase on the coffee table and said nothing.

Speak and open it in front of Chen Kaige.

With a "click" sound, the lid flipped up, and a large pile of paper tapes lay neatly in the suitcase.

The maximum denomination of the third set of RMB is only 10 yuan, commonly known as "Great Unity" because its front image is of workers, peasants and soldiers. Chen Kaige has seen money. He has handled hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars in making movies.

.

But when a large box of unity appeared in front of him uniformly like a military parade, the huge impact made his breathing quicken involuntarily.

There was only one question in his mind at this moment: How much money is it? "Kego!"

"Kego!"

Being distracted by the banknotes, Chen Kaige was called out by Tao Yushu a few times before he came back to his senses. He looked at Tao Yushu, a little embarrassed for his rudeness just now. But he didn't notice the lust flashing in Tao Yushu's eyes. Why did she use cash?

, isn’t it just for this effect?

"Kego."

"Aunt Lin!" Chen Kaige responded, straightening his back unconsciously.

The smile on Tao Yushu's face was gentle, "You have contributed a lot to "The King of Kids" winning the award. Although we have not mentioned it in advance, the company will definitely not treat you badly." When she said this, Chen Kaige already understood what she meant, and he was excited.

He secretly clenched his fists.

"Here is 100,000 yuan, which is our reward to you from Lin's Pictures!"

After finally hearing the answer he wanted to hear, Chen Kaige's breathing became heavy again, his nose widened, and he swallowed hard. Seeing that Chen Kaige was clearly tempted, but still trying his best to pretend as if nothing had happened, Tao Yushu smiled softly on his face.

.

She closed the suitcase and pushed it in front of Chen Kaige.

"There's no need to count, right?" she asked jokingly.

Chen Kaige had not fully recovered from the huge impact of money. At this time, he had already lost the ease with which he used to talk about movies or literature. "No... no need."

After Chen Kaige said these words, he felt that his voice was trembling. How embarrassing!

Tao Yushu's expression remained normal, and he didn't seem to notice his gaffe.

"What are you going to do with this money?"

Tao Yushu's homely questions made Chen Kaige relax a lot, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously. "Thank you, Uncle Lin, Aunt Lin. This reward is too sudden, I didn't think about it well."

"Invite your family to have a big meal first." Tao Yushu suggested. Chen Kaige nodded, this is a good suggestion.

Then the two chatted a few more words, and Chen Kaige felt more relaxed and happy. After chatting for a while, Tao Yushu asked: "Do you have any ideas about the new movie?"

Chen Kaige hesitated and said: "I haven't thought about it yet. The fact that "Kid King" won the award was a bit sudden, and it still doesn't feel real yet."

Tao Yushu said with a smile: "That's right. "Kids King" has just been filmed not long ago, so you should relax and experience the joy of success. "If you have nothing else to do, you can go to Xiangjiang to play, and you can also take a look at us.

The crew of the company.

The film industry in Xiangjiang has a relatively heavy commercial atmosphere, but there are still many merits for film production." Upon hearing her invitation, Chen Kaige's eyes lit up.

Because of his participation in film festivals, he has been abroad a lot in the past few years. He is not too excited to go to Hong Kong, but it is indeed a rare opportunity to learn more about the development of the film industry in Hong Kong.

"If I have the opportunity, of course I would be happy to do so," Chen Kaige said.

"Okay. Then you arrange your time here, and I will arrange the rest for you."

Chen Kaige nodded like a fool. He had just received a bonus of 100,000 yuan and was going to travel to Xiangjiang. Such a reward made him elated, and at the same time he was full of gratitude to Tao Yushu.

There are three investors in "King of Children", but the 100,000 yuan bonus that Tao Yushu awarded him was paid for by Lin's Pictures himself. For this reason alone, Chen Kaige had to admire Aunt Lin's magnanimity.

After having lunch at Lin Chaoyang's house, Chen Kaige was ready to leave.

Tao Yushu stopped Chen Kaige again, "You happened to be here today, take your father's share of the bonus." She said and handed Chen Kaige a leather bag. Chen Kaige's expression was stunned. He didn't expect that his father also had a share. "

Your dad is an art consultant and a producer, so isn’t it normal to have a bonus?"

Seeing his doubts, Tao Yushu explained casually.

Chen Kaige was right. His father did help him a lot during filming and post-production. After leaving Lin Chaoyang's house, Chen Kaige bumped into Zhang Yimou just a few steps away.

At this time, he was very proud. When he met his old classmate, he suppressed the thought in his heart of appearing holy in front of others and chatted with Zhang Yimou for a few words.

Only then did I learn that Zhang Yimou had just finished selecting roles for "Red Sorghum" and he came today to tell Tao Yushu that he was preparing to go to Shandong in the next few days. "Have a good time filming. If you need any help, just tell me, you're welcome!"

"

Chen Kaige patted Zhang Yimou on the shoulder and said grandly, "Absolutely."

The two chatted for a while and then separated. Zhang Yimou walked to Lin Chaoyang's home, while Chen Kaige hurried home. On the way, when no one was around, he couldn't help but secretly open the leather bag Tao Yushu handed him.

This leather bag is very valuable once you get it, and Chen Kaige has always been curious about it.

After opening it, he found that there were dozens of stacks of large unity inside.

Chen Kaige couldn't help but feel dazzled. Such a large amount of money must be at least 20,000 to 30,000, right? Aunt Lin was too generous to take action!

He closed the bag carefully, glanced around a few times, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and left quickly. He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he got home. "Brother, did you let the dog chase you?"

My sister Chen Kaiyan, who had just entered the house and was going home for dinner on the weekend, saw her brother looking nervous and panting, so she couldn't help but tease her. Chen Kaige glared at his sister angrily, "What do you know?"

After he finished speaking, he ignored Chen Kaiyan and shouted into the room: "Dad! Dad!"

Chen Huaikai, who was leisurely listening to the radio in the room, was called out by him, "Why are you back so soon?" It's already afternoon, why are you still planning to let me spend the night at Uncle Lin's house?

Chen Kaige secretly cursed and said: "I'll be back after we finish talking. Look at this...

He was carrying the suitcase and leather bag in his hands. He had been carrying these two things all the way, and his arms were so sore. If he were not tall and strong, most people would not be able to carry them for such a long time. "What is this?" Chen Huaikai asked with an eyebrow.

.

Chen Kaige did not speak, but placed the suitcase there, opened it and showed it to his father. All he saw were stacks of banknotes.

Such a scene made Chen Huaikai, who had always been reserved, couldn't help but widen his eyes. Chen Kaiyan on the side even screamed, then immediately realized that something was wrong and covered her mouth.

"Brother, what's going on? Where did this money come from? So much!" Before Chen Huaikai could speak, Chen Kaiyan had already asked.

Seeing that his father was only absent-minded for a moment, he immediately focused his eyes on himself. Chen Kaige explained

"Dad, Aunt Lin said that I was indispensable for the success of "King of Children". Everything in this suitcase is the bonus given to me by Mrs. Lin." Chen Huaikai's face seemed calm, but the waves in his heart were still turbulent. He asked: "What's the matter?

How much is it?”

"One hundred thousand dollars!"

"One hundred thousand yuan? Such a big bonus?" When Chen Huaikai heard this, he was not only unhappy, but his brows furrowed even tighter. Chen Kaige said excitedly: "Not only me, you also..."

As he spoke, he opened his bag and said, "Look! I haven't touched your bag, and I don't know how much it costs." While he was talking, Chen Kaiyan came up to her and reached into the bag to pull it open.

Then she said to Chen Huaikai with a happy face: "Dad, it's thirty thousand yuan!" She turned to her brother and said: "One hundred and thirty thousand yuan!"

As she spoke, her eyes flashed with light.

One hundred and thirty thousand yuan is undoubtedly a huge fortune for Chinese people in the 1980s.

Among the Chen family, father Chen Huaikai's salary is the highest, only 150 yuan a month, less than 2,000 yuan a year. 130,000 yuan is equivalent to his father's salary income of 60 to 70 years.

This is almost the amount of wealth that an ordinary worker or cadre can earn in two lifetimes of working. And this is actually just the bonus that his father and brother received after the success of the movie?

While Chen Kaiyan was feeling happy and excited about the incredible wealth of her father and brother, her father Chen Huaikai still had a serious expression. "What did Aunt Lin say when she gave you these bonuses?"

"It's nothing, just call it a reward."

"Tell me everything." Chen Huaikai pulled his son and asked him to recall today's scene as much as possible.

Chen Kaige could only tell the truth about the situation, and then he saw his father sitting on the sofa silently, with a serious face. "Dad, what do you mean? Can't we take the money that Aunt Lin gave us?" Chen Kaige was anxious.

asked.

Chen Huaikai glanced at his son, and then sighed deeply.

"This is life money, do you think it is so easy to get?" Chen Huaikai couldn't help but sigh after saying, "Aunt Lin, you want us, father and son, to work for her!" Chen Kaige actually understood Tao Yushu.

The purpose of Qianjin Shigu, but his ideas are different from his father.

Isn't it also a life-long commitment to make movies for a studio?

It would be better to make a lot of money by filming a movie for Aunt Lin. He couldn't dream of having such an opportunity to work hard! Seeing that his son didn't take it seriously, Chen Huaikai shook his head helplessly.

Tao Yushu was sure that he would work hard for Lin's Pictures for his son's future, and he couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

After being an old fox all his life, it is not a pleasant thing to be chased away from others, but he still has to be happy with it. "I have already taken their money, and then you have to think carefully about what movie you want to make." Chen Huaikai
