Chapter 452

452 Was Supposed To Allocate 50 Million Yuan, But I Haven’t Even Seen 5 Million Yuan Yet

When she heard that the proposal had been approved, Shi Xi was very happy.

She could finally film the movie she wanted to film!!

Han Chuan was also in a good mood. He asked Shi Xi who she wanted to act as the male lead.

Shi Xi said without hesitation, “Chu Yuan!”

!!

When he heard the name, Han Chuan’s face stiffened.

Shi Xi blinked. “Can’t I? Brother Han, don’t worry. I won’t have any scandals with him. I just think that he’s suitable for this role!”

“That’s not what I’m worried about.” Han Chuan rubbed the space between his brows and said, “We only have a total of 50 million.”

Shi Xi nodded.

She knew.

Han Chuan asked, “What do you think Chu Yuan’s salary is?”

Oh ho!

Han Chuan asked again, “Do you think we can afford to hire Chu Yuan?”

Shi Xi shook her head helplessly.

For Chu Yuan to act in this unknown movie, it would cost at least 18 million…

Han Chuan said, “50 million is mainly used for filming. As for casting, we can only use Kuai Xue’s artists or we can recruit some new ones.”

Hearing this, Shi Xi accepted her fate and said, “Alright, let’s hire the male lead.”

Han Chuan said, “There are many good actors in the new generation. Maybe we can bring out a Best Actor.”

Shi Xi agreed, “Maybe we can bring out a Best Actress.”

Han Chuan looked at Shi Xi and said, “I’ll go ask about the funding progress.”

Since the proposal had been passed, the money should be coming soon.

Why was there still no news?

Shi Xi did not care about the money anymore. She started to read her own script and contacted the director and scriptwriter to optimize the script.

At the same time, she had to contact the casting.

Shi Xi had only been an actor in the past and felt that filming was tiring enough.

When she formed her own team, Shi Xi realized that working behind the scenes was so tiring.

Even the preparatory work in the early stages was difficult.

Especially when she didn’t have the money.

Everything wasn’t going well!

At the beginning, Shi Xi didn’t care.

Kuai Xue ben already had some money, and Shi Xi was also quite wealthy, so she just used it as a cushion.

But when it came time to prepare the staff and venue, the Finance Department didn’t give her the funds. Even the reimbursement from before was stuck for a long time.

When she called to ask, there was only one sentence: “We are going through the process.”

Finally.

At the dining table, Shi Xi could not help but say, “We agreed to allocate 50 million yuan, but I haven’t even seen 5 million yuan yet.”

Shi Xu said, “Haven’t the money already been allocated?”

“But it’s only tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of yuan each time, and it’s still dragging on.” Shi Xi used a spoon to press on the rice and said, “If we do this, the efficiency is too low!”

“The Finance Department has two types of funding. One-time funding and batch appropriation funding,” Ning Yu said indifferently. “In order to prevent the subsidiaries from escaping with the money, they are now using the one-time funding model.”

“Then isn’t this one-time funding too detailed?” Shi Xi said unhappily, “It’s already been half a month, and we can’t even recruit enough people, and we can’t even set up the venue.”

Shi Xu said, “Isn’t that a school play? Can’t we just rent a school?”

Shi Xi said, “We don’t have any money! If the project exceeds 200,000 yuan, the Finance Department will have to review it for a few days. Then, they’ll say that it’s not standard and ask for a new application.”

“Is it that troublesome?” Father Shi said doubtfully, “I remember that every time I apply for 1 million yuan, it’s allocated very quickly!”

“It must be Xu Ziqing who is going through my review!” Shi Xi said softly.

Xu Ziqing did not like her to begin with. Now that she could be blocked, she would definitely not be satisfied.

“I’ll urge her tomorrow.” Shi Xu picked up a large drumstick for Shi Xi. “Don’t be angry.”
