Chapter 30: The Four Sons of Whampoa (2)
Meiyuan is a high-end club in Shanghai, integrating fitness, sports and leisure, located in a corner of Huangpu Park, quiet and chic.
The outdoor parking lot is full of all kinds of luxury cars, as if a luxury car show is being held, and none of them can be afforded by Lin Qirong, which shows that the people who come here to consume are either rich or expensive.
If it weren't for Qiao Feng's reason, Lin Qirong wouldn't have known about this place at all.
One of the four sons of Huangpu introduced by Qiao Feng, Jiang Jingdong made an appointment to meet here, so he came to this place.
Standing at the door of the clubhouse, Lin Qirong pulled the clothes on his body.
This outfit cost him a lot of money, but wearing it on him did add a lot of color to him, and it did give him some courage.
After sorting out his mood, he stepped into the clubhouse, and a tall beauty wearing a retro cheongsam immediately greeted him, and Wu Nong's soft words, which were full of Jiangnan style, made people feel like a spring breeze.
"I'm looking for Jiang Shao, and I have an appointment. Lin Qirong explained his intention.
The cheongsam beauty didn't show any expression and nodded, "Come with me." ”
Walking behind her, Lin Qirong had time to observe the surroundings.
There is a hall in the club, a beautiful woman is playing the guzheng on the stage, and many men and women in the audience are toasting each other with wine glasses, and the atmosphere is very warm.
Many waiters dressed like the cheongsam beauties in front of them shuttled among them.
The overall building is antique and has a unique charm under the background of lighting.
The owner of this plum orchard must not be simple.
Walking through a long corridor, Lin Qirong followed the cheongsam beauty to a separate room.
Pushing the door in, there were four people sitting at a uniquely shaped tea table inside.
In the middle is a handsome young man, drinking tea with a smile on his face, it should be what Qiao Feng said Jiang Jing Dongjiang is less.
Next to him sat a young woman with a beautiful face, a pair of long legs, and a pair of skinny jeans, which outlined her invincible long legs with extremely moving curves, which was particularly eye-catching.
Next to her was a middle-aged man with a pair of glasses, laughing and talking to them.
The last girl is also dressed in a cheongsam, and she should also be a service staff in Meiyuan.
She was sitting across from the three of them making them tea, her graceful movements pleasing to the eye.
"Jiang Shao, your guest has arrived. The cheongsam beauty who brought Lin Qirong said a word, and then said goodbye and left.
"Thank you. Lin Qirong nodded with her, walked into the room and smiled at the three pairs of eyes, "Jiang Shaohao Yaxing, I really opened my eyes this time." ”
"You may be seated. Jiang Jingdong glanced at him, nodded and motioned for him to sit down, and the cheongsam beauty quickly poured him a cup of tea.
"Thank you. Lin Qirong nodded with her, picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, his mouth full of fragrance.
"Xiao Qiao didn't come?" Jiang Jingdong said in surprise.
"Yes," Lin Qirong nodded and said calmly, "He helped me take care of the children at home, so I came alone." ”
"With children?" Jiang Jingdong was stunned for a moment, and the girl next to him also looked at him in surprise.
Lin Qirong said, "Yes, there is no one to take the child, but fortunately, Qiao Shao can help." ”
"Little Joe with the children, if other people hear this, they will probably go crazy. ”
Jiang Jingdong shook his head, "But Xiao Qiao, don't worry, you come by yourself, it seems that you are very confident in your script?"
"I also want to ask Jiang Shaoduo to help. ”
Lin Qirong took out the script of "The First Half of My Life" from his briefcase and handed it to him.
Jiang Jingdong didn't pick it up, but the middle-aged man next to him took it.
"It's no problem to help, but I'm not going to do a loss-making business in this business, and if your script satisfies me, then I'll be happy to buy your rights."
But if you can't satisfy me and can't see any hope of making money, I can't accommodate you because of my relationship with Xiao Qiao.
He is director Wu Qingsong and my partner, he will judge whether your script is good or not, do you have any opinions?"
Although he was asking for his opinion, his tone was full of undeniable tones, and the momentum of the fourth prince of Huangpu was fully revealed.
Lin Qirong nodded, "It turned out to be Director Wu, although I haven't met, but I have long admired the name."
I have enough confidence in my script. ”
Although Jiang Jingdong was domineering, Lin Qirong was not crushed by his momentum, and his answer was quite calm, and his tone was full of confidence.
The girl next to Jiang Jingdong glanced at him in surprise, then turned back again.
After director Wu Qingsong took over Lin Qirong's script, he quickly read it and completely ignored other things, which shows his professionalism.
Lin Qirong was not in a hurry, and drank tea slowly.
Jiang Jingdong explained the matter well, did not pay attention to him anymore, but concentrated on talking to the girl next to him.
"Qiyun, we have a party here tomorrow night, and all the friends who come here are familiar friends, do you want to come over and have some fun too?"
The girl known as Qiyun shook her head, "I heard how good the plum garden is, so I want to come and take a look."
Forget it tomorrow, you know I don't like to be boisterous. ”
"Okay, then I'll take you around another day, there are still a lot of places to do in Shanghai. ”
"We'll talk about it then. ”
Lin Qirong watched coldly, and naturally knew that this girl was not an ordinary girl.
Her temperament and conversation are obviously cultivated from a young age, and ordinary families can't cultivate them.
Jiang Jingdong was obviously in a flattering tone when facing her, in addition to the intention of pursuing her, maybe this girl's identity was not ordinary.
Obviously, she is not very interested in Jiang Jingdong.
But this obviously has nothing to do with him, and he waited patiently for Wu Qingsong to read the entire script.
"Whew. ”
Wu Qingsong finally finished reading the script, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked faintly excited.
Jiang Jingdong also saw him and said, "Old Wu, just say your opinion directly, I still trust your vision very much." ”
Wu Qingsong slowly calmed down, nodded and said, "It's not a bad script." ”
Jiang Jingdong said with some surprise, "If you can tell you a good script, it means that the quality is not bad." ”
"There's something new and the plot is interesting.
However, there is also a certain risk, and it may not be accepted by the audience if it is filmed. ”
Wu Qingsong gave a specific opinion, "500,000, I think you can give it a try." ”
Jiang Jingdong nodded, "Then give it a try, when you give Xiao Qiao a face, there are not many opportunities for him to beg someone." ”
He turned to Lin Qirong and said, "You leave the book, 500,000, it can be regarded as giving you a chance." ”
Lin Qirong did not speak, but looked at Wu Qingsong meaningfully.
Wu Qingsong was a little embarrassed to show him, frowned and said, "Mr. Lin, 500,000 yuan is already a good price, based on 42 episodes, each episode is more than 10,000 yuan, which is already the price of a well-known screenwriter in the screenwriter's industry." ”
Lin Qirong shook his head and smiled, "Director Wu, do you really think this script is only worth 500,000?"
Jiang Shao, you also know who Qiao Shao is, do you think he will owe you a favor for a script that is only worth 500,000 yuan?"
Wu Qingsong glanced at him, "Your script has a lot of novelty, I admit it, but it is also risky, and if you are not careful, Jiang Shao's investment will be wasted." ”
Lin Qirong said, "I also know a truth, that is, the greater the risk, the greater the gain, Director Wu should not understand this truth." ”
Jiang Jingdong came back to his senses and did not answer Lin Qirong, but looked at Wu Qingsong, "Old Wu, what's the situation?"
Wu Qingsong opened his mouth and did not explain.
How Jiang Jingdong didn't understand what he meant, this was a very common means for him to lower prices, and he had done the same thing before.
But this time he obviously hit a hard stone, Lin Qirong was not persuaded by him, and he was very confident in the quality of his script.
A trace of anger flashed in his heart, Wu Qingsong was indeed for his own good, but it also depended on the occasion, didn't he see Qiyun by his side?
Sure enough, Qiyun beside him seemed to be interested, and reached out to take the script in Wu Qingsong's hand.
"Let me see. ”
Jiang Jingdong glared at Wu Qingsong and said with a smile, "I also think that Xiao Qiao can't recommend a script that is too bad to me, Qiyun, you also know how to do it, why don't you help me with my staff." ”
Qiyun ignored him and flipped through the script in his hand intently, the expression on his face changing with the plot.
Lin Qirong glanced at Wu Qingsong, who looked frightened, shook his head slightly, and patted the horse's legs.
But this girl's serious demeanor is really refreshing and pleasing to the eye.
After a long time, Qiyun put down the script in his hand and handed it to Jiang Jingdong.
"You'd better see for yourself, if you want to make money, it's better to take it, and if you want to win, it's better to take it.
Filming it should cause a sensation, just like the previous "City Beauty". ”
"City Beauty"?" Jiang Jingdong's face changed slightly, it was a hit drama with explosive ratings, and it was very popular because it depicted the real life of a group of young women who worked hard in a big city, and won numerous awards.
This script also has such potential?
He didn't doubt Qiyun's words, because she was a famous talented woman in the capital, and her judgment should not be wrong.
When he lowered his head and opened the script, it didn't take long for his face to change, and he raised his head and glared at Wu Qingsong fiercely.
Wu Qingsong was sweating profusely.
"If you don't want to, I can buy this script. ”
Qiyun waited for him to roughly read the script before saying, "Sister Chen Meng should be happy to make such a TV series, and I can make a small profit." ”
"No, no, no," Jiang Jingdong shook his head again and again, "I want this script." ”
He turned to Lin Qirong, "I want five million." ”
The price has risen tenfold all of a sudden, reaching 100,000 episodes, which is already the level of a famous screenwriter.
Qiyun frowned slightly, "It's a little low, that idea alone is worth a lot, and the plot is good enough, and the topic heat caused by it is definitely not low." ”
"Deal, Jiang Shao is refreshing. ”
Lin Qirong didn't open his mouth again, this price has exceeded his psychological price a lot.
After all, he is not a famous screenwriter yet, and no matter how good the script is, it must be subject to certain restrictions.
