Verse 433: Impenetrable
After entering the room, the middle-aged man stood up, Dong Qiao took the initiative to step forward, stood between the two, and introduced each other: "Meigao Pictures, Kang Duancheng Kang, DreamWorks, Shen Huan Shen Zong." ”
Shen Huan took the lead in reaching out his hand, "Hello Mr. Kang." ”
Kang Duancheng also stretched out his hand to shake it with him, with a smile on his face, and his expression was very kind, "Hello Mr. Shen, I have admired my name for a long time, and when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary." ”
Shen Huan also smiled, "Mr. Kang praised it falsely, Mr. Kang acquired Meigao Pictures as a Chinese, which really makes me admire." But there were some doubts in my heart.
His observation is very keen, so it is not difficult to find that the sense of distance between Kang Duancheng and him is a little strange.
There is indeed a sense of "distance" between people.
The different relationships between two people will lead to this difference in the sense of distance: if you are just in contact, the sense of distance will be larger, and as the intimacy of the relationship progresses, the distance will continue to shrink. And this sense of distance is not ethereal, it can be seen from many places.
For example, the distance between the two people's bodies, the position and angle of the toes of the two people, the tendency of the body, the micro-expressions of the face, etc., can be seen in this sense of distance.
Of course, this requires rich life experience and keen observation, and Shen Huan has such an ability. So he could see at once that the distance between Kang Duancheng and him did not match the distance that two strangers who met for the first time should have, but had to be shortened.
This sense of distance has been shortened to a degree that surpasses the level of appreciating by hearing.
"You don't have to flatter each other anymore,"
Dong Qiao rolled his eyes at the two of them and said, "Sit down and talk about business." ”
These two people are very close to her, and she does have a certain dislike for Kang Duancheng's visit to China this time, so she is not very polite. And through this way, she can also implicitly convey some information to Shen Huan, she believes that with her understanding of Shen Huan, Shen Huan will definitely be able to receive the information she wants to express.
Shen Huan did hear something from her words, and had a further understanding of the relationship between Kang Duancheng and Dong Qiao.
Kang Duancheng is not a vegetarian, Dong Qiao's abnormal performance today attracted his attention, he glanced at Dong Qiao meaningfully, smiled, and said, "Hehe, what Xiao Dong said is, then let's sit down and talk." ”
Kang Duancheng smiled and invited Shen Huan to sit down, and the two sat opposite each other, while Dong Qiao stood next to Shen Huan and did not sit down.
Shen Huan glanced at her and asked, "Why don't you sit?"
Dong Qiaopi didn't smile, "I think I'm going to have work to do soon." ”
Kang Duancheng smiled again when he heard this, and said: "Xiao Dong is right, this time I returned to China, one is to cooperate with Mr. Shen on this project, and the other is for the in-depth cooperation between Meigao and China Film, this matter is not possible without Xiao Dong." ”
As he spoke, he raised his hand to look at his watch, raised his head, and said, "But the time hasn't come yet, Xiao Dong, you don't have to leave in a hurry." And what I want to talk to Mr. Shen this time, you can also express your opinions, after all, in this project, you are the producer designated by our Meigao, and it is necessary to participate. ”
Dong Qiao raised his eyebrows, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, as if he didn't expect Kang Duancheng to say this, and then said, "That's okay." ”
As he spoke, he walked between the two of them, that is, sat down on the Chinese-style hard sofa where Kang Duancheng had been sitting before, and looked as if she was the master of today's meeting.
Kang Duancheng didn't pay attention to her, and looked directly at Shen Huan, "This time I will return to China, and the time is limited, so I won't be polite to Mr. Shen, let's go directly to the topic." ”
"I invited Mr. Shen to come today, mainly to talk to Mr. Shen about the project we are about to cooperate on. ”
"Mr. Shen, you have conveyed some intentions before, many of which we think are very good suggestions, but there is one point that we feel is a little inappropriate. ”
Shen Huan's face did not move, and asked, "May I ask what point?" but in his heart, he felt more and more incomprehensible about today's meeting.
At first, he thought that there was a difference of opinion on the Meigao side of this project, so there was today's meeting, but Dong Qiao's words and performance just now made him guess the nature of today's meeting from a private aspect, but Kang Duancheng's next style changed his mind.
Kang Duancheng said directly: "It's the candidate for the leading actor." ”
"Mr. Shen, you think that the male protagonist should be chosen from white people, especially well-known white male movie stars, and I have some objections to this. ”
Shen Huan was stunned.
At the beginning of wanting to make this new movie, Shen Huan's idea of the main filming lineup was very clear: it was still the same as his previous films, the director was him, and the actor was also him. However, in the preparation stage of this project and the contact with Meigao Pictures, his idea gradually changed.
He decided to change his original idea, the director is still himself, but the actor is replaced by a white actor, which is mainly considered from the market side. After all, his film is a risky joint venture project, and the overseas market is the main battlefield of this movie.
The director is a little better, after all, he is a behind-the-scenes staff, but the actor is the face of a movie, if it is still played by a Chinese, it will affect the overseas market very much, and the risk factor will be even greater.
This is a joint venture project, and the main investor is not yet him, and he needs to be responsible for the investor.
"That ......"
Shen Huan really didn't expect Kang Duancheng's words, he froze for a moment, and quickly collected his mind before returning to normal: "Then what is your opinion?"
Dong Qiao didn't seem to know the news, and looked at Kang Duancheng in surprise.
Kang Duancheng continued to smile mildly and said, "Our opinion on this is that we should follow the plan proposed by Mr. Shen at the beginning, and you will be the actor in person, Mr. Shen." You've done a good job of doing this before, you've proven that you have what it takes, and we have confidence in you. ”
When Shen Huan heard this, his head became even more messy.
The impact of this news on him was a bit big, and for a while, he couldn't take care of his expression management, and looked at Kang Duancheng opposite with a frown.
He didn't believe that a big man like Kang Duancheng would not see the consequences of doing so, which would greatly increase the risk of the project, leading to a decline in expected returns, and the decline would not be a small amount: given the size of the project, the magnitude would be in the billions of dollars.
Kang Duancheng said that he wanted to do this, he was simply joking with the fate of all the investors in this joint venture project, especially Meigao Pictures, and he was simply smashing his own job and rushing to throw the money into the water.
But Kang Duancheng still said this, which really made Shen Huan unable to see through.
Dong Qiao was also surprised, his mouth was slightly open, his eyes flickered, but his mind was different from Shen Huan.
Could it be that he drove the old man crazy like this? But there is no need, Shen Huan is not the leading actor, it has no impact on their plans, as long as Shen Huan is still the director, it is enough.
Or is there any deep meaning in it that I don't know?...... It's not impossible, the old man may be crazy, but Uncle Kang is still more reliable, and he said it himself......
Dong Qiao's thoughts continued, and she had an excellent memory, and she even thought of the first American high school meeting when Kang Duancheng agreed to this item, at that time, Kang Duancheng's words gave her a meaningful feeling, and now that she thinks about it, she feels even more meaningful.
The little couple was thinking about their thoughts quickly, but Kang Duancheng was as immobile as a mountain, always smiling. And he didn't urge Shen Huan to respond, but leisurely made tea, looking leisurely and complacent.
He even took the time to glance at Dong Qiao, pouted, and motioned to her to pay attention to her image with her eyes, don't sit there stupidly with her mouth open like a silly girl, and ask for a lady.
