Chapter 229: Dinner
"The picture is cool!"
"You!" Looking at Zhou Linlang's stubborn and aggrieved eyes, Zhou Min couldn't say all the words of persuasion. Zhou Min couldn't help but sigh, "Why do you bother, what's the benefit of working with the company." ”
"I didn't screw it. Zhou Linlang bit her lip, I just wasn't convinced, why should everything be decided by the company, I can only be the company's tool. This was the case in the previous life, and it is still like this in this life, so what is the meaning of her living two lives?
"I wasn't impulsive. I was well thought out. Zhou Linlang said, "After my comeback, the resources given by the company are getting less and less, the quantity has not changed, but the quality has declined very much. That's why I took advantage of the invitation of the director of Hollywood to go directly to overseas development, just to find some good resources. However, as Brother Zhou said, my foundation is in China, and I must return to China. I didn't expect to offend the boss because of the Queen Victoria when I just came back. ”
"Either you have to rest for three months, or you can rise to the challenge and go your own way. Zhou Linlang looked at Zhou Min seriously, "You know my contract, Brother Zhou." I am a person with pursuits, and it is impossible to sit still and tie myself to the company to death. Therefore, I want to find resources on my own, and if I have good resources, the company should not be overwhelmed with money. Brother Zhou, are you willing to help me?"
Zhou Linlang's contract with the company, Zhou Min also understood it after becoming an agent, in Zhou Min's opinion, Zhou Linlang was a little young and frivolous when he signed this contract, and he was cheated. But the contract is already like this, and he doesn't want to become a tool for the company to make money (Zhou Minda feels that Zhou Linlang can't become a money-making machine for the company even if he loses, after all, with Zhou Mingqin here, it's a big deal to pay liquidated damages.) You can only work hard.
The same goes for him.
"We are grasshoppers on a rope, since you don't want to rest and want to work, of course I can only listen to you. ”
"Thank you, Brother Zhou. ”
"Don't thank me, as long as you don't complain in the future that I arrange too much work for you, and dislike me for squeezing you, I'll thank God. After discussing it, Zhou Min took a businesslike attitude, and said, "Now the only resource we can contact is Zhang Chuan's "Green Jade Bracelet", but I haven't replied for so long, I always feel that it's no fun." The rest of my books are the resources provided by the company.,There's a boss who speaks.,It's not our turn to give it.,We can only find something else.。 ”
"It's okay, look, it's okay if you can't find it. Zhou Linlang said honestly, "I just want the company to know my attitude, I am not a puppet in their hands, I can do whatever I want." ”
"You. Zhou Min sighed, "In three months, it is very likely to toss around, offend the company, and have no results." Hey, thankless!"
"I know, but, if people fight for a breath of Buddha and receive a stick of incense, if they don't fight for steamed buns, I want them to see, and I'm not easy to bully. Zhou Linlang said firmly.
"Hey, you!" Zhou Min couldn't help but sigh again. He felt that he was really heartbroken, and he sighed more often tonight than last year, but Zhou Linlang just didn't listen, and he was stubborn. But what can I do, the little girl who grew up watching her, of course, can only help her.
Zhou Min opened another room for Zhou Linlang to rest, and the rest will be talked about tomorrow.
The next day, before Zhou Linlang got up, Zhou Min's phone called.
"Brother Zhou?"
"Linlang, pack up your things and get up, good news. ”
"What's the good news?"
"Don't ask, get up, I've made an appointment with the studio, and we'll do the styling in a moment. ”
"Styling? Who?"
"You'll know when you arrive, absolute good news. ”
On the way, no matter how Zhou Linlang asked, Zhou Min just didn't say it. can see Zhou Min's excited appearance, it must be a good thing, Zhou Linlang suddenly thought of Zhang Chuan's movie audition, and couldn't help but beat wildly. Could it be that the audition results have come out? Could it be that the object of the meal is Zhang Chuan? Zhou Linlang was also very excited, and when he arrived at the door of the private room, his heart was not quiet.
Pushing open the door of the private room, as Zhou Linlang guessed, Zhang Chuan was sitting inside. But another accident, Yan Ming also sat in it. In addition to them, there were several people sitting at the dinner table, assistant director, producer, Zhang Chuan and Yan Ming's assistant.
"Director Zhang, Yan Ershao. ”
Zhou Min greeted first, and Zhou Linlang also said hello next, and at the same time greeted the others, and then sat down. Yan Ming's assistant stood up first and gave up his seat to Zhou Linlang, who could only sit generously on Yan Ming's left hand side, and smiled with Zhang Chuan on Yan Ming's right hand. Zhou Min originally wanted to sit down by Zhou Linlang, but that position was sat by Yan Ming's assistant, and Zhou Min could only sit in another seat, next to him was the assistant director on one side and the crew producer on the other.
"When everyone comes, let them serve the food. Yan Ming said.
Soon, the waiters rushed in, and all kinds of delicacies were served on the table.
Huaguo people always have a natural ability to eat and persuade wine, and the atmosphere on the table is quickly hot. Zhang Chuan and Yan Ming were the protagonists at the dinner table, and everyone surrounded them to say flattering words. As soon as Zhou Linlang came in, he was treated warmly by Yan Ming's assistant, and the people in the private room privately speculated that the relationship between Zhou Linlang and Yan Ming was ambiguous, and they all showed favor in Zhou Linlang's eyes, obviously for Yan Ming's sake.
When he entered the room and saw Yan Ming, Zhou Linlang felt that he should be pitted by Zhou Min again, and turned his head to glare at him. can see that the surprise in Zhou Min's eyes is not pretended, he really didn't expect Yan Ming to be there, Zhou Linlang felt that Zhou Min shouldn't know that Yan Ming was also there, but he was stunned by Zhang Chuan's invitation, and he didn't ask who was eating.
Zhou Linlang didn't dare to eat with Yan Ming, but she was a little awkward. Yan Ming had pursued her before, and now he didn't let go of his thoughts about her, but he didn't say it clearly, and Zhou Linlang couldn't refuse Yan Ming amorously. It's embarrassing to hang like this, and Zhou Linlang can't see Yan Ming as much as possible. Especially after she had an affair with Ning Yuan, Zhou Linlang paid more attention to the distance between her and men, for fear of being misunderstood by Ning Yuan.
"Linlang, why are you unhappy?" Yan Ming asked with his head down.
Everyone else at the dinner table was chatting and drinking, but Yan Ming's status was there, he didn't want to drink, and no one else would come over to find it uncomfortable. And with Yan Ming, everyone will not be uninteresting to find Zhou Linlang to drink, so on a table, Yan Ming and Zhou Linlang are clean around.
"It's not that you don't want to see me. Yan Ming smiled and spoke, but there was suppressed anger in his eyes, but unfortunately Zhou Linlang didn't see it, he just thought Yan Ming was joking,
"No, how could it be. Zhou Linlang said.
"I feel like you've been avoiding me, on the boat, and today. ”
"Uh...... Nothing. Although it is the truth, Zhou Linlang will not admit it. After all, everyone is a face-saving person. "You think too much, where do I dare to hide from Ershao. ”
"Look, it won't be said. We are friends, and you still call me Ershao, this is not a raw part. When you are with Zeng Zijie, you will never call her Miss Zeng as well. ”
"Hahaha...... It's not like everyone calls it that, I call it too. ”
If there is a crack in the ground, Zhou Linlang wants to get in, it is too embarrassing. Fortunately, Yan Ming didn't catch this matter, and chatted with Zhou Linlang about other things, and Zhou Linlang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yan Ershao, I toast you. Zhang Chuan suddenly raised his glass, "I didn't expect that in my most difficult time, it would be you who would lend a helping hand." Don't say anything, everything is in this glass of wine, I salute you!"
"Director Zhang tortured me like this. Yan Ming immediately spoke to Zhang Chuan enthusiastically. Although Zhang Chuan has no background, he is talented, and those who can make money like this, of course, Yan Ming should be treated preferentially. "I've watched your movies since I was a child, and I've always admired you, and it's my honor to be able to help you. If you need to tell me directly, I have already reached the crew's account for the first part of the investment, and the second part of the investment will be credited to the account this month. If there is anything in the crew in the future, you will take care of it when you are old, and if there is anything that needs to be done by me, you will command. I don't understand movies, but you are the idol of our family, and what you decide must be right, I will cooperate with you, and then wait for the movie to be released and collect money. Haha, I'm really lucky to be able to cooperate with you. ”
Zhang Chuan, who has experienced betrayal by investors, is trusted wholeheartedly and moved in his heart. It turns out that I, an old man, have not been disliked, and there are still people with unique vision. Now, Yan Ming, who has a unique vision, has been regarded by Zhang Chuan as a year-old friend, and he can't wait to burn incense and kowtow to worship as a brother with a different surname.
"Hey...... I can't say anything nice, but don't worry, since you trust me, I will definitely not live up to your trust, I will do my best to make you money in this movie. ”
"Director Zhang, we all make money. Fame and fortune, next year's box office and word-of-mouth are the first to us. ”
"Haha, yes, the first one is us. ”
Yan Ming and Zhang Chuan discussed the "big plan" together, and their words made Zhou Linlang on the side hear it in a fog, and wanted to inquire about what was going on, but when he looked for Zhou Min, he found that he was drinking with the assistant director, and he didn't have the time to solve his doubts. Zhou Linlang couldn't help frowning, so, what did they come to this dinner for, did they come to drink with them, or did they come to witness Yan Ming's investment in Zhang Chuan's movie?
Zhou Linlang was thinking about it, and suddenly heard Zhang Chuan mention himself.
“...... This is the heroine I chose in the movie "Green Jade Bracelet". Xiao Zhou, give Yan Ershao a toast, Xingyao Entertainment invested in our crew, knowing that you are the heroine, I am especially optimistic about you......"
I am the heroine of "Green Jade Bracelet", when did Zhou Min not say it.
Zhou Linlang was stunned for a moment, and when he turned his head, he saw that Zhang Chuan was giving himself a look and asked him to toast Yan Ming, while Yan Ming looked at him with a smile, looking like he had already known.
