The meeting with the leaders of Lin'an City was very smooth.

Wu Jianye got the piece of land he wanted, and Lin'an City brought in more than 100 million dollars of investment, and the two sides can be said to take what they need.

In order to express his gratitude, it was Director Wang who personally drove Wu Jianye back to Lin'an Shangri-La.

"Director Wu, I won't say any extra thanks, the previous misunderstandings are all the responsibility of my side, as long as Director Wu comes to Lin'an in the future, you must remember to call. Director Wang said with a smile.

Through this cooperation, Director Wang has completely surrendered to Wu Jianye, and at this time, Wu Jianye is no longer just a director in his eyes.

There is no director in China who can easily help AllAllah to invest more than 100 million dollars.

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Director Wang is polite, was there a misunderstanding between you and me before?

"Yes, yes, there is no misunderstanding!" Director Wang also laughed.

When he got out of the car and walked into the hotel, Wu Jianye saw Chen Hong in the lobby, because it was a little late at this time, so there were not too many people in the lobby at this time.

"Director Wu, you're back!" Chen Hong showed a smile like a flower after seeing Wu Jianye.

Wu Jianye nodded and said, "Yes, why haven't you rested yet, I'm going to Gusu tomorrow, be careful that you don't have energy on the road!"

Chen Hong covered her mouth and chuckled: "Looking at Director Wu now, there is really no way to connect you with your performance on the set, if you didn't know Director Wu, you would think it was two people." ”

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Didn't it scare you at the beginning!"

Chen Hong made a palpitating look, "That's not it, I almost thought that Director Wu was going to replace me, which made the family worry for a long time." ”

Wu Jianye looked at Chen Hong's pitiful appearance, and thought in his heart: No wonder Chen Kaige couldn't hold it, and he left the one who took care of his father's illness and bedridden for a long time for her, and was later managed to death, such a stunner in the world is indeed not something that ordinary people can control.

"Don't worry, since the crew has chosen you, I believe in your ability and perform well, this TV series will not be successful only in China, maybe you will be popular in Hong Kong and Taiwan in the future!"

Chen Hong said in surprise: "Really?"

This is not Chen Hong's pretending posture, mainly because public opinion in China has begun to be generally not optimistic about this TV series, but Wu Jianye said that this TV series can not only succeed in China, but also in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

So does this mean that he will become a star in Hong Kong and Taiwan in the future?

"Hehe, let's wait and see!" Wu Jianye knows what the domestic opinion of this TV series is now, and he also knows that even if he says what he says now, others will have a skeptical attitude, and only when this TV series comes out, they will know the power of this TV series.

"I really don't know how to thank Director Wu. Then Chen Hong said shyly: "If Director Wu needs anything, I will try my best to cooperate!"

Wu Jianye looked at Chen Hong's answer as if it were explicit, and smiled in his heart: "Let's talk about it later, let's work hard now to shoot the TV series well!"

Wu Jianye recruited Chen Hong into the crew, whether there are other ideas only God knows, but more importantly, Chen Hong is very suitable for the role of Xiaoqing, and now Zhu Yan is also in the crew, and he doesn't want to make these things happen during the filming, after all, if there is any moth in the middle, it will delay the filming of the entire TV series.

Chen Hong nodded with some disappointment, after all, at this time he was in the same crew with Wu Jianye, although Zhu Yan was also there, but it was also the best opportunity to get in touch, and after the filming of the TV series was completed, it would be rare to have such an opportunity, and now looking at Wu Jianye's attitude, is the other party really an egg without sewing?

Wu Jianye didn't want anything to go wrong during the filming, but Chen Hong took Wu Jianye's worries as Wu Jianye was a righteous gentleman.......

The ideas of both sides were at odds at this time.

The next day, Wu Jianye took the crew to Gusu to shoot the interior and exterior scenes.

According to the shooting task, when Gusu finished shooting, it was almost exactly two days before the New Year in 1989, November, December, and January were enough for three months of shooting.

Li Xiaowan had already contacted the filming site in Gusu, so after the crew arrived in Gusu, filming began immediately.

There was no delay.

.......

New York, Manhattan, Upper East Side, Sutton Square neighborhood.

A latest-model Lincoln pulled up on the side of the road, Linda held a wooden box in her hand, got out of the car and waved to the company's driver, and walked to townhouse 11 opposite.

Linda looked at the surrounding houses along the way, and there was no envy in her eyes from passers-by looking here, although this is the top wealthy residential area in New York, but for Linda at this time, as long as she wants, she can buy one here.

From Marilyn Monroe, Arthur Miller and other celebrities in the cultural and artistic circles, to many high-ranking political officials and business tycoons in the United States, they all like to buy houses and settle here.

The former owner of I.M. Pei's Townhouse No. 11 was a cousin of Roosevelt Sr.

"Ding-dong, ding-dong!"

A blonde young maid opened the small window of the door, looked out, saw that the visitor was a fashionably dressed woman, and asked, "Hello, is there anything wrong?"

"Hello," Linda smiled, "I'm Linda, the president of Phantom Entertainment, who came to visit Mr. Pei, and I made an appointment on the phone before. ”

The young maid immediately opened the door and said, "Mr. Pei has not gone out and has been waiting at home for a long time. Please come in!"

Linda was led by the maid to the garden, and there was an old lady carrying a kettle to water the flowers, and the maid immediately introduced: "Madam, this is the visitor that Mr. Pei has made an appointment. ”

Linda greeted with a smile: "Hello Mrs. Pei!"

The old lady's name is Lu Shuhua, and her English name is Erin Lu, and because of the transliteration, she is often written by Huaxia Media as Lu Shuhua, Lu Ailing, and Lu Ailin. She was born in a famous family in China, graduated from a prestigious school in the United States, and is almost 70 years old this year, and she looks intellectual and kind.

"Hello," Lu Shuhua put down the watering can, shook hands with Linda, "Miss Linda's reputation is thunderous in North America now!"

As Lu Shuhua said, with the development of Phantom Entertainment over the years, there is only a thin line between it and the seven major Hollywood entertainment companies.

As the president of Phantom Entertainment, Linda has naturally become a well-known business elite in the United States.

Linda smiled: "Ms. Lu is polite, I was also entrusted by someone to come to visit Mr. Pei this time." ”

Lu Shuhua was slightly stunned, the person who could make the president of Phantom Entertainment personally come out, it seems that there is a big man standing behind her: "Miss Linda, please." ”

"Thank you!" Linda held the wooden box in her left hand, followed Lu Shuhua's side, and walked into the living room.

When he came to the living room, Lu Shuhua personally made coffee for Linda, and shouted in Cantonese: "Old man, there is a guest at home!"

This townhouse has four floors, and after a short time, I.M. Pei walked down the staircase handrail, although the old gentleman is 71 years old, but his body is still very strong, and he does not need the support of the nanny at home.

When I.M. Pei finished walking the stairs, Linda held the wooden box and said, "Mr. Pei, this is a gift that my client has entrusted me to bring you." ”

Although Linda is now a well-known business elite in North America, Pei's reputation in North America is also good, and it can even be said to be very high, so Linda still respects this old man very much.

Pei opened the wooden box on the spot, revealing a bottle of red wine. He took out most of the wine bottle, carefully examined the signature on the bottle, and immediately smiled: "59 years of Lafite, ho, Miss Linda's gift is expensive enough." ”

Linda said: "I know you love red wine, so I auctioned a bottle at a previous auction. ”

I.M. Pei shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Such a precious gift, Miss Linda must have something to do with me." ”

In '82, Lafite was the most famous in China, but the rating given by professional wine tasting institutions was not the highest. The really top Lafite is 1901, 1953, 1959, 1986, 2000, and even Lafite 1996 is rated higher than '82.

Of course, whether it is Lafite in 96 or Lafite in 2000, it has not yet come out, as for Lafite in 82 and 86, Wu Jianye has been there a lot, but this is not what he bought, but Zhou Tao and Yan Wen helped him buy it before, both of them know that Wu Jianye likes to store wine, so as long as some famous foreign wines are auctioned, they will help Wu Jianye auction them.

I.M. Pei is a veteran wine lover, and when Château Lafite invites him to drink, he chooses Lafite '59 for his reception.

Linda smiled with a mixed Chinese and English smile: "Isn't there a saying in Huaxia called 'Sword for Heroes'!"

I.M. Pei can understand Chinese, but she is more familiar with Cantonese, and she also talks to Linda in English at this time: "Let's talk about Miss Linda's intention this time!"

Linda nodded and said with a smile: "This time, I was actually entrusted by Mr. Zhou Tao, President of Xiangjiang Yaoguang Group, to ask Mr. Pei Lao to help design a commercial building and a Jiangnan-style manor!"

I.M. Pei was not too surprised, as a well-known architect at home and abroad, he did not have any intersection with Phantom Entertainment, and the other party could not come to see him for no reason.

It's just that when Linda made a request, he still had some doubts in his heart, originally he thought that Linda came here this time to design a building in North America, but he didn't expect that he was invited by the Xiangjiang consortium.

I.M. Pei is no stranger to Yaoguang Group, the Xiangjiang Bank of China Building that is now under construction was designed by I.M. Pei, and now his son is staring at this project in Xiangjiang, and he will occasionally go to Xiangjiang, so he naturally knows very much about the Yaoguang Group, which is now famous in Xiangjiang.

What really puzzled him was that he didn't expect Linda to have a connection with Yaoguang Group, and even come over to invite him for Yaoguang Group in person.

"I don't know where the commercial building of Yaoguang Group is?"

"Huaxia Lin'an, Jiangnan-style manor is also in Lin'an!" Linda replied.

In fact, it was Wu Jianye who really made Linda come over, not Zhou Tao, and what really made Wu Jianye care about was actually the design of the manor, and the commercial building hoped to improve the popularity of the commercial building with the help of I.M. Pei's fame.

Of course, with such a huge project, Pei could not have followed it all the way to the end, but Pei's two sons are also very good designers, and the cooperation with them is a good thing for Hongkong Land.

After listening to Linda's introduction, I.M. Pei was also thinking about this matter, I.M. Pei was definitely not bad for money, but the suggestion of Yaoguang Group also made I.M. Pei very interested, and he himself is now fame and fortune.

But his two sons are now also mixed in this industry, if they can reach a strategic cooperation relationship with Yaoguang Group, then they can take this opportunity to earn a reputation for their two sons in the form of old and young.

After analyzing the pros and cons, Pei said with a smile to Linda.

"Since Yaoguang Group is so sincere, it is not easy for us to refuse, so let's take a time to go to Xiangjiang during this time to personally discuss specific cooperation matters with Mr. Zhou. ”

Linda smiled: "That's great, I'm sure your cooperation will be very pleasant!"

I.I. Pei smiled reservedly.

After Linda came out of I.M. Pei's villa, she called Wu Jianye and Zhou Tao separately and told me of I.M. Pei's decision.

Wu Jianye was over there was a call received by Dai Zhen, at this time Wu Jianye was filming the night scene of "The Legend of the New White Lady", and he didn't have time to answer the phone at all.

In order to be able to shoot smoothly in Gusu, Wu Jianye specially instructed Li Xiaowan to rent a few manors here, because many of them were interior scenes, and there were fewer onlookers, so the filming went smoothly.

After a day of shooting, Wu Jianye also learned about Pei's decision in Dai Zhen's mouth, which made Wu Jianye very happy.

called Zhou Tao again and discussed the specific matters.

At the end of the chat, Zhou Tao told Wu Jianye: "Hanshui Beverage has already researched its own cola products, and I asked the general manager of Hanshui Beverage to find you with samples in the past two days and let you taste it." ”

Wu Jianye was also very excited to hear the news, before this, the products of cold water drinks were somewhat single, only Jianlibao was a product, when filming "New Dragon Gate Inn", he had urged Zhou Tao to let cold water drinks step up the research and development of their own cola products, and now after a year of successful research and development, it can be regarded as adding a competitive product to cold water drinks.

Of course, it will take a while of marketing time to make this cola like Jianlibao, but this is already a process from 1 to 2 for cold water drinks.

Wu Jianye said, "Let him come over!"
