Chapter 315: Investing in Films

"I'm back!"

Fluttershy takes her responsibilities to the extreme, and as soon as Zhou You enters the door, she comes over with slippers and reminds her in passing, "Boss, Sister Yao is studying your collection in the study, but she has brought a very serious aunt to see if she wants you." ”

Zhou You nodded and headed straight for the study.

The villa was large enough for thirty or forty people, and now it was only home to five people: Zhou You, Fluttershy, Dazhi, Forrest Gump, and his mother. But this is also a helpless thing, what Zhou You likes is a quiet, free, and comfortable life, and there are more people who are uncomfortable, so Zhou You does not continue to invite people.

As for Zhou's father and Zhou's mother, Zhou You strongly asked them to live with him, but Zhou's father couldn't let go of Shenlin and Yuanzhen Group, so he insisted on not living in the city;

However, what made Zhou You excited was that Zhou's father and Zhou's mother finally got their heads of hands and actually bought a large piece of land from the village, which was intended to be used to build a manor, which surprised Zhou You. After careful consideration, they realized that they were worried that Zhou You would one day run out of luck or encounter unstoppable forces and be beaten back to its original shape, so they built a manor to leave a way back for Zhou You.

The good intentions of his parents greatly touched Zhou You.

It is precisely because of this that Zhou You cherishes everything he has now.

"You, you're finally back!"

Yao Jiahui stepped forward enthusiastically, and his body did not shy away from sticking to the tour.

Although Zhou You has been busy to death in the past few days, and Yao Jiahui is also very sad about the merger of the two jewelry companies, Yao Jiahui is very nervous about traveling around, for fear that he will be upset by the events of that day, so no matter how busy she is, she will come over, at least help decorate the furniture or something.

I have to say that Yao Jiahui's rare initiative made Zhou You very happy, so even the study was allowed to come and go at will.

You must know that the study room around is the same as Xu Lao, which stores a large number of high-value antiques, including high-value porcelain pillows such as Jun kiln Wanhua porcelain pillows, Ru kiln blue glazed bowls and pastel Zhang Fei pots, etc., which are placed here for many friends to appreciate.

"Mr. Zhou is good!"

Fluttershy's serious aunt takes the initiative to greet Zhou You.

The aunt looked at Zhou You slightly nervously and shook hands with Zhou You.

Originally, she thought that Yao Jiahui might introduce some kind of rich man, but she didn't want it to be a young man like Zhou You. But she is not worried about the identity and money of Zhou You, she can afford to live in such a luxurious villa, and she can take tens of millions of things to furnish, such a character is no longer something that can be measured by the word "rich". Yes, she is looking forward to this time.

Zhou You replied: "Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

Yao Jiahui hurriedly introduced Zhou You: "You, this is Director Lin that I told you before, and he is my good sister." ”

Zhou You nodded, he finally knew what Yao Jiahui and Director Lin were doing here. However, Yao Jiahui focused on the word "sister", which made it difficult for Zhou You.

Director Lin saw Zhou You's surprise and helplessness, but she really couldn't help it.

Yao Jiahui continued to remind: "You, Sister Lin is really talented. is a highly talented student who graduated from the film school of the University of Southern California in the United States, and has directed several ultra-low-budget movies in the United States. ”

Director Lin said with a little shame: "Mr. Zhou, I believe Xiaohui has also told you about my problem." Before, I was arrogant and tried to get tens of millions of investment without qualifications, and after repeatedly hitting a wall, I recreated a comedy with a small investment, hoping to get your approval. ”

After speaking, Director Lin handed the latest edited plot blueprint to Zhou You.

Ay...

Zhou You sighed, and because of Yao Jiahui's face, he had to take over.

Director Lin also knows that such an occasion is not formal, but the problem is that China's film market is like this, the investor is the strongest part of the film market, and the director is just a part-time job in disguise. In addition, Director Lin is really desperate now, so he can only try his luck here, hoping to use Yao Jiahui's face to shoot his hard work.

Of course, the script that Director Lin gave to Zhou You is not the most comprehensive and detailed script, it is just a condensed version, but it is enough to point out the gimmick of the movie.

"It's kind of interesting. ”

Soon, Zhou You finished reading the script at a speed, but showed a little surprise, and asked: "Director Lin, the theme of your movie is very good, with the help of the gimmick of the Spring Festival, various social phenomena are embellished one by one, and there is no lack of warmth, which is a very touching movie." But I want to ask you, with the penetrating power of the plot you depict, if there are no mature actors to star, I am afraid it will be difficult to express the emotions in the script;

Director Lin knew that if he couldn't answer this question well, the movie would lose its last almost and would be strangled in the cradle, so he sorted out his thoughts and replied seriously: "Those movie stars with high salaries and high exposure rates will not be my choice." This movie highlights the joy of warmth, as well as the beauty and ugliness of human nature during the journey, so the protagonist can't let the audience have a preconceived impression, and they can't even be too handsome, too beautiful or something, they can only have an ordinary, easily accepted face by the public. ”

Zhou You smiled and asked, "Listening to your tone, it seems that there is already a candidate." ”

Director Lin reported a person's name.

After listening to Zhou You, he smiled slightly.

The person Director Lin said traveled around and knew him, and he was a Hong Kong Island actor with excellent acting skills, but the roles he played were not well-known roles and were not well-known in the eyes of the public.

Director Lin also added: "If Mr. Zhou is not satisfied, we can also choose another. I know a lot of talented Chinese actors in the United States, and they all have excellent acting skills, but they have never had a chance. ”

Zhou You shook his head and said, "I, a layman, won't interfere with you, an insider." ”

Zhou You knows that in the past ten years, many movie lovers who yearn for Hollywood have tried every possible way to study at film schools in the United States, but it is a pity that Chinese actors have not performed well in the American film industry, either they have not been given a chance or their strength is not good. However, so many people study abroad, and I believe that there are two or three poor worms with excellent abilities but no talents. As the saying goes, things gather like and people are grouped, what Director Lin said, Zhou You has no doubts at all.

Director Lin shook his head when he saw Zhou You, thinking that the matter was blown. But Zhou You's ensuing outstretched hand surprised her.

Zhou You said: "I hope we can cooperate happily!"

Director Lin replied affirmatively: "I will not disappoint Mr. Zhou. ”

And so the agreement was reached.

"I'm sorry, You, I made my own decision to embarrass you!"

Yao Jiahui said goodbye to Director Lin, who urgently went back to get the agreement, and immediately returned to the study where she traveled, ready to make amends.

Zhou You replied with a smile: "It turns out that you still know the mistake!"

Yao Jiahui was so persuaded that she could barely raise her head.

Zhou You didn't want Yao Jiahui to be too embarrassed, and said: "That's it, it's just an investment of tens of millions, with the plot of that movie, as long as Director Lin's ability can, he shouldn't lose money." ”

Yao Jiahui still didn't dare to look up.

"Light a cigarette for me!"

Zhou You remembered the first time he met Yao Jiahui, and suddenly wanted to smoke.

Yao Jiahui didn't know what she thought of, her face was slightly red, but she was very obedient to help Zhou You.

Zhou You didn't swallow the clouds and spit out the fog, just held the cigarette and let the cigarette butt burn slowly, while his thoughts didn't know where to wander to the world.

Yao Jiahui admires this kind of travel very much, and thinks that this kind of travel is mature enough, deep enough, and very tasteful, maybe it is this kind of travel that makes Yao Jiahui want to stop, and even put away the so-called pride and be a good daughter-in-law in front of Zhou You.

Time passed drop by drop.

When the smoke was about to finish, Yao Jiahui obediently took it down for Zhou You and snuffed it out.

At this time, Zhou You seemed to come back to his senses, broke the calm of the scene, and asked, "Sister Hui, can you live together? ”

Since the relocation, Zhou You has not lived with Yao Jiahui, and Yao Jiahui still lives in the old house.

Yao Jiahui wanted to let go of her reserve, but she felt embarrassed and felt that it was easy to be criticized. However, Yao Jiahui heard from his father that Xu Man had launched a fierce offensive against Zhou You, and his position was in jeopardy, and he had to do something to save it.

Yao Jiahui, who was in the midst of a contradiction, didn't know how to answer, but gave Zhou You a misunderstanding.

I only heard Zhou You sigh and say, "Since you can't erase it, then don't want it." ”

Yao Jiahui suddenly felt a thorn in her heart, and hurriedly said: "I can move to my father's villa, we are still very close." ”

But Zhou You replied: "It's different, the taste is completely different." ”

Yao Jiahui also knows why it tastes different.

Huang Jianming, Xu Jie and Amamiya Qinyue all live here, if Zhou You is entangled with Yao Jiahui all day long, just ask them how it will feel, I am afraid that Zhou You's situation at that time will be even more embarrassing than in the old mansion.

Yao Jiahui suddenly had a bad idea: "It's better to move back and live with me!"

Zhou Youden was speechless.

Yao Jiahui said a stupid question, became embarrassed again, and lowered her head again.

"Hey, forget it!"

Zhou You reluctantly got up and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Yao Jiahui.

"I'll stay here for a day or two if I'm fine!"

While speaking, Yao Jiahui actually took the initiative to hug Zhou You's waist.

Zhou You turned around, hugged Yao Jiahui, sat back on the chair, and asked with a smile: "This reason is similar to you living here, is it interesting?"

"Yes!"

Biting Zhou You's ear, he said, "Since there is no way to be open, then let's play cheating." For example......"

"Like what?"

Zhou You's breathing was heavy, but he hadn't lost his mind yet.

Yao Jiahui replied: "Like now!"

An evil flame erupted in Zhou You's heart, instantly.
