(Bow and thank "Zhao Weihang" for the monthly pass support!)

That night, Zhou Ming drove to the Sunflower Restaurant, and after arriving at the restaurant, Zhou Ming walked into a luxury box under the guidance of the waiter, where a Chinese man about thirty years old was sitting, his face was full of melancholy.

"It's been a long time since I saw Tang Lin. ”

Zhou Ming greeted him as soon as he entered the door, this person was the one who had instructed Hoover to take Tang Ran away, and took Zhou Ming and Tang Ran to Tang Lin, the fifth heir to Quan'an Island, the ancestral hall of the Tang family. When he heard Zhou Ming's greeting, he suddenly came back to his senses and smiled at Zhou Ming, but his smile seemed a little reluctant to Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming sat down next to Tang Lin, looked Tang Lin up and down a few times, compared with the high spirits when they first met, Tang Lin who Zhou Ming saw again now was like an otaku who had lost his hard drive, and he felt that the whole person exuded a sense of melancholy from the inside out.

Tang Lin said goodbye to his cuffs, he took the initiative to bring a wine bottle for Zhou Ming and himself to pour a glass of wine, Tang Lin took the initiative to raise a glass to Zhou Ming and introduced: "This is a red wine made in the best winery in Bordeaux, although it is not called Lafite, but the vines he chooses are at least 30 years old, and the wine made from the grapes picked from this old vine will be particularly rich and rich in the sweet flavor of Bordeaux." ”

Zhou Ming didn't say much, and clinked glasses with Tang Lin and took a sip, Tang Lin shook the wine glass and said to Zhou Ming: "I said that I would invite you to drink, but I didn't expect to realize this promise today, I'm really ashamed." ”

"Actually, it doesn't matter, after all, we all have our own things to do, I can understand that. Zhou Ming said casually.

Tang Lin smiled and touched a glass with Zhou Ming: "But when it comes to busy things, I heard that the situation of your Jieke company is very good, not only participated in the Futai Science and Technology Exhibition, but even invited the cooperation of Aipai Company, and finally signed a big order of five million, which is very remarkable!"

Zhou Ming waved his hand and said: "Mr. Tang Lin is just laughing at me, it is true that because of the Futai Science and Technology Exhibition, I signed a lot of orders, but then some people deliberately targeted Jack behind his back, you don't know, right?"

Faced with this question, Tang Lin replied with some embarrassment: "It seems to be true, but I believe that it is not a big problem in front of Mr. Zhou Ming, right?"

"It's a big problem to deal with, if there's nothing to be done, it's a big problem, but if there's another way, it's not a problem. After Zhou Ming finished speaking, he asked, "Mr. Tang Lin, I don't want to waste time, although it has indeed been a while since we were separated last time, but I don't think the relationship between the two of us is enough to sit here and talk about this, are you right?"

Tang Lin was stunned at that time, he didn't expect Zhou Ming to be so direct, but he was stunned for a while, and then sighed: "That's right, I will specially ask Mr. Zhou Ming to come out today, there is indeed something very important to discuss with you." ”

Tang Lin's expression became tangled as he spoke, as if he wanted to go to the toilet, but had to hold back the feeling, Tang Lin struggled for a long time before asking, "I want to ask if you are working on any projects now, and do I have a chance to participate together?"

After asking this question, Tang Lin's heart was as if the urine he had been holding for a long time could finally be released, and he was extremely happy.

Perhaps from some points of view, it was a very confessional performance for him to ask Zhou Ming like this, but for Tang Lin, compared to the grievances in the past period, these are just trivial matters.

In the past period of time, as Zhou Ming and Tang Ran took over the Jieke Company, they were doing a lot of work here, and even the elders in the ancestral hall were nodding their heads when they talked about this matter, while on the other side, Tang Yu, Tang Yi and Tang Wan'er also met in the private dining room of Shengna almost every day to discuss how to target the Jieke Company and how to block Zhou Ming and Tang Ran.

It can be said that one of them is the protagonist and the other is the villain, and they have a lot of fun playing the story, but he, the fifth heir, is completely left aside like an inconsequential passerby.

If Tang Lin is just a passerby, then forget it, but the key Tang Lin thinks that he is the fifth heir of the Tang family, and he is very likely to inherit the Tang family.

It is precisely for this reason that there will be the story of Tang Lin asking Zhou Ming to come out for dinner today.

Of course, Tang Lin didn't choose Zhou Ming from the beginning, and Tang Lin was also very entangled in which side to contact, but thinking about it, even if he helped Tang Yu, Tang Yi, and Tang Wan'er's three brothers and sisters, with Tang Yu's careful eyes, he wouldn't do any good, in contrast, Tang Ran was found by him, and he also brought it to Quan'an Island, and more importantly, it was more reliable than the three brothers and sisters, so Tang Lin finally chose Zhou Ming.

Listening to Tang Lin's explanation, Zhou Ming was a little surprised at first, but then he was relieved, after all, in the inheritance war, the mediocrity of inaction is more shameful than failure, at least failure represents that he has worked hard, and mediocrity is the complete loss of fighting spirit.

It seems that Tang Lin also understands that sentence very well: there is no shame in losing, it is only a matter of ability, and it is a shame to be afraid, because it is a matter of attitude.

Zhou Ming thought about this for a while and said to Tang Lin: "I do have a very powerful project recently, but before I say it, I want to ask you a question, that is, do you have a relationship with a film company? Because I want to make a movie, but there is no channel for publicity and distribution, so I need a large professional film company to cooperate with it, but I don't have this channel myself, so I want to ask you do have such a channel?"

Faced with Zhou Ming's question, Tang Lin was completely taken aback, because he remembered that Jieke Company shouldn't just be an information technology company? How could he suddenly make a movie? You must know that interlacing is like a mountain, although California is the most developed place in the world with the film industry, a completely layman wants to make a movie, it is still nonsense, but the problem is that Zhou Ming is a serious face no matter how you look at it.

Tang Lin hesitated for a moment and then replied, "Because of my father's relationship, I don't dare to say how deeply involved I am in the film industry, but at least I can help you connect with many famous Hollywood studios such as Disney, DreamWorks and Twentieth Century Fox." ”

Getting Tang Lin's answer, Zhou Ming smiled at the time: "I didn't expect this to be a blind cat running into a dead mouse, Tang Lin, you still have this relationship, so please help contact Disney, I have a very good animated movie, which needs to be promoted and distributed through his channels, of course, the cost of this will be borne by Disney and Tang Lin." ”

Tang Lin looked at Zhou Ming, he was stunned at that time, he didn't understand at all that he had to pay to contact Disney, and he had to help Zhou Ming pay for the promotion of his movie, did he look so wronged?

Originally, Tang Lin wanted to protest, but with Zhou Ming's next words, Tang Lin had no opinion at all.

"I can guarantee that this movie will be released within a month, as long as this movie can be released, I can guarantee that your Tang Lin's name can also surprise the elders of the Tang family! Zhou Ming said.

Tang Lin looked up at Zhou Ming and asked, "Hearing you say that, it seems that you are very confident in this movie?"

Zhou Ming replied: "Fortunately, at least I can be sure that this movie can bring me enough profit." ”

"It's good to have faith, but I'd like to ask a few more questions. Tang Lin said, "As far as I know, the production cycle of an animated film is relatively long, from conception to setting to drawing and production, it takes half a year at the shortest, plus publicity and communication with the theater ...... scheduling."

Tang Lin finally asked Zhou Ming: "Do you plan to let this movie be released in the summer of this year? But if that's the case, let's not talk about the quality of this movie, don't you think it's a bit too long in terms of time alone? Because the Tang family can't wait that long now, because the ownership of inheritance will definitely be determined before the release of this movie." ”

"So I never planned to let the movie be released in the summer, I planned to release it within this month to compete for the Spring Festival box office. Zhou Ming saw Tang Lin's confused face, so he explained, "I'm talking about our Chinese Lunar New Year, isn't it also the time of school holidays? ”

After listening to Zhou Ming's words, Tang Lin's whole body was petrified, he looked at Zhou Ming in a daze and said: "Do you understand movies? According to Hollywood's standard film production process, the output of a commercial film takes at least half a year, and you have to release a movie every month, aren't you crazy? Unless you tell me that you don't know where to pick up a complete movie and come back!"

"I wish I could pick up such one, but unfortunately, my animated film is still in the works, and it will take about a month. Zhou Ming continued, "So I plan to arrange the publicity and distribution of the film within a month of film production, so that when the film is produced and reviewed and graded by the Film Association, it can be directly sent to various theaters for screening." ”

Listening to Zhou Ming's words, Tang Lin suddenly had the illusion that he and he were not living under the same time line.

"My God, why can you say it so easily? This is a movie, not an animated short film, but a question involving profit and the assessment of the Tang family's inheritance, why can you still take it for granted so casually?"

Tang Lin asked incomprehensibly: "You said that it sounds like it is quite time-saving to promote and distribute the film while it is being produced, but have you ever thought that even the movie has not been made yet, what do we use to promote it, and what do we use to convince those Hollywood film distributors who only have money in their eyes?

"And even if we're lucky enough to convince the film distributors, what if something goes wrong in the review process, what if the review needs to be extended or re-edited?"

Tang Lin continued: "You must know that in order to prevent the monopoly of the film industry, the distributors of the film have been separated from the theater chain a long time ago, in other words, they do not have any subordinate relationship, that is to say, once the schedule of the theater chain is down, it is impossible to change, if there is a problem in the middle, it is a breach of contract, which not only has to compensate the theater chain, but more seriously, it will no longer be able to get the schedule of the theater chain, do you understand?"

"It is precisely for these reasons that the film goes from selecting the script to selecting the actors, to filming and production, to sending it for review, and finally to the publicity schedule, this process has his reason, and it can't be thought out by just shooting the brain!" Tang Lin said loudly to Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming still sat in his seat, looked at Tang Lin with a smile and said, "Of course I know what you said, so what I want to tell you is that these are not problems, I can solve them, is it okay? Or, if you want to fight for the inheritance of the Tang family, if you don't do something jaw-dropping, it doesn't make any sense, isn't it?"

Faced with Zhou Ming's words, Tang Lin was silent, he grabbed his wine glass and drank it up, then gasped and said to Zhou Ming: "You are really a madman. ”

Zhou Ming smiled at this: "As the saying goes, if you don't go crazy, you can't live, sometimes you should be crazy in life, it's just a matter of whether you dare or not." ”

Tang Lin also laughed, and he finally said, "What's not to dare, just let me play this game with you!"
