Chapter Eighty-Six: The Ascendant

Zhou Baoshan's face was a little embarrassed again, and he didn't know what to say.

But I have to say that thinking about Li Qian's statement, he is indeed quite proud in his heart.

Yes, in the entire Minghu culture, he is the first person who is qualified enough for Li Qian to come forward to suppress - this face is indeed big enough.

"But that's not my main purpose!" he said, shaking his head, "I just don't think it's a shame to watch you waste your energy on such a small thing!"

At this moment, Zhou Baoshan was interested and looked at him seriously.

Li Qian said: "Of course, I will give you the opportunity to choose, and everything is up to you to decide." My opinion is for your reference only. ”

"I had people collect relevant information before, but it was used for my own reference at the time, before I came back this time, I remembered it, I asked someone to make a copy of it for you, brought it over, and after returning to the filming, you asked Juanzi to get it, in her hands. After you get it, you go back to the room by yourself, you can take a good look, it is the resume of some of the most famous stars and actors in Hollywood in the past ten years, you can see how they succeeded and how they fell into the pit step by step. ”

"To put it bluntly, the movie, once it is filmed, has a scary rate of return and is definitely a profiteering industry, but as long as it is profiteering, it will inevitably be accompanied by huge risks. ”

Therefore, in the past ten years, there have been countless new stars emerging in Hollywood, and they were all smash hits, but there are only one or two people who can ensure that every step is not wrong, every step is successful, and step by step is steady and finally to the position of first-line and super-first-line superstars. What happened to the others? Why did they disappear?"

"Because they made films with high salaries, they hit the streets, one hit the street, and another hit the street, so everyone didn't pay attention to them. They still live in Hollywood, but in the eyes of investors, producers and audiences, they have been eliminated, so there is no need to pay attention. It was as if they had completely disappeared from this world. ”

"And these people, when they are at their most popular, almost every one of them is not inferior to you!"

"Choosing a film is a technical job, and no matter how good the technology is, there are risks. When you finish filming "Shaolin Temple", the company can temporarily stop the third part of "Once Upon a Time", and if you want, go to Hollywood to pick up a film! Before you go, remember to take a serious look at the information I gave you, although it can't completely avoid failure, but at least it will allow you to avoid a lot of pitfalls!"

Zhou Baoshan hesitated, "Master Qian, I ...... I...... I didn't have to go to Hollywood, I ......"

Li Qian waved his hand, "Baoshan, I'm not afraid of you making mistakes, others are afraid, I'm not afraid." Even if you hit the streets in Hollywood and the American studios think you're worthless, I still have the ability to pick you up and bring you back to the top with a single film! So I'm not afraid! I just don't want to waste time. ”

"We've been behind for too long, and now we're catching up, so I don't want to waste too much time, and I want you to be able to figure things out before you go through bumps and failures," he said. Only then will you be able to continue to follow me on a further path. ”

"Go back and have a good look and think about it. I'm here to tell you these things, and I'm here to personally send you those materials. I hope you can understand something, but I don't want to force you to think and do it the way I do, so you can think for yourself!"

Standing on a rock, he looked back and saw the filming area set up by the crew under his sight, and said: "You are the most successful international actor I have won so far, if you want money, you can tell me, it doesn't matter if I give you money, because I am not short of money." But I want you to understand that you are the one I have chosen, that your life goals should be higher, that you should aim globally, that you should look back fifty years from now and see your place in the history of cinema. ”

"Because if you continue to follow me, the things you will do in the future will be things that are countless times more important than money and countless times greater than everything else. ”

"That's the fundamental reason why I came here in person. ”

…………

The dinner in the evening was very lively, and everyone drank a little wine, but after dinner, Li Qian and Zou Wenhuai went directly to the airport by the crew's car, and they were going to take the plane back to Shuntianfu at nine o'clock in the evening.

So much so that Zhao Qing, the heroine of "Shaolin Temple", that is, Ziwei in "Huanzhu Gege", except for a glass of wine during the meal, didn't get the opportunity to say a few more words, and when Li Qian and Zou Wenhuai left, she had some undisguised disappointment on her face.

Of course, Zhong Yuanfu stayed.

After everyone finished eating, Zhong Yuanfu was not in a hurry to go back to the guest room arranged by the crew, but ran to Zhao He first, chatted with him for twenty minutes, and then knocked on Zhou Baoshan's door.

Tonight, he called the English teacher he hired in advance and asked her not to use it today, so at this time, Zhou Baoshan's agent opened the door, and then hurriedly went to make a pot of tea, and there were only three people in the room.

Zhong Yuanfu smiled and chatted with the agent for a few words, and made two jokes, and then euphemistically said that he wanted to talk to Zhou Baoshan alone.

The agent had no choice but to withdraw.

He asked several times just now, but Zhou Baoshan was stunned and refused to say what Li Qian told him when they came and they went out for a walk. The stack of materials in his hand is for him to see, but they are just the resumes of some Hollywood actors over the years, shriveled and seemingly meaningless.

He guessed that Mr. Li might want to use these materials to remind Zhou Baoshan that Hollywood films are very risky?

But this doesn't make sense, Hollywood films are risky, but domestic films are not?

It's all the same.

Unless you have been only receiving films from Minghu Culture, the risk may be smaller, at least so far, there is no precedent for commercial films produced by Minghu Culture to hit the streets.

But looking at the rivers and lakes, who can always be lucky and only make money and not lose money? In the future, it is expected that there will be a film of Minghu culture hitting the street, and even a film of Li Qian hitting the street.

It's just that the luck of the past few years has always been on Minghu Culture and Li Qian's side.

Everyone is on the rise.

But Zhou Baoshan is now an international superstar, he should not tie his future development prospects with "Minghu Culture Production", he should go out to develop a larger market for Chinese filmmakers, for the image of Chinese actors, and of course for himself.

And I just want to pick up Hollywood films, not to say that I want to change jobs, whether I want to change jobs, whether I am or Zhou Baoshan, but I have always been loyal to the company and Qianye, and the reason why I want to go out is actually to expand my career territory for Minghu Culture - whether it is himself or Zhou Baoshan, he can say this to anyone for his gratitude and loyalty to the company, because he feels that he is worthy and selfless.

But it's a pity that he is just Zhou Baoshan's agent.

Not only when Li Qian went out to talk with Zhou Baoshan, he was not qualified to follow, even if he wanted to come over to toast during the dinner, he could only follow the big guys, and he was not qualified to go over alone to say a few words, show loyalty, and explain his thoughts with Zhou Baoshan.

What's more, Boss Zou is there!

He can not be as afraid of Li Qian as Zhou Baoshan, but he is really a little worried about Zou Wenhuai from the bottom of his heart - this Zou boss trained people, it was really ruthless, and his power was so great, like himself, although he was Zhou Baoshan's agent, but for him, he would kick it, because Zhou Baoshan's brokerage contract was signed in Minghu Culture, and he was just an executive agent and was arranged to be in charge of his brokerage affairs.

And now, although Zhong Yuanfu spoke tactfully, his meaning was categorical - he wanted to sum up some things and say something with Zhou Baoshan, and he was not allowed to listen, let alone participate.

Although he was very aggrieved, he still reluctantly retreated.

He knew that at least for the moment, Zhong Yuanfu's status in Zhou Baoshan's heart was a thousand or ten thousand times more important than himself. This kind of thing can't be rushed.

When he left, Zhong Yuanfu leaned on the sofa and said, "You did a very bad job this time!"

Zhou Baoshan raised his head and glanced at his senior brother, lowered his head again, and said "um". Then he said: "Today, Master Qian said me, and I have already apologized to Director Zhao!"

"That's not enough!" Zhong Yuanfu said, "You yelled at people in the morning, you don't know, unless the staff did something wrong, or sloppy or something, in short, it was a mistake, otherwise, even Master Qian would not reprimand people as loudly as you." What qualifications do you have to do that?"

Zhou Baoshan continued to lower his head, "Then what else do you want me to do?"

Zhong Yuanfu said: "Go to someone to apologize, preferably in public." ”

Zhou Baoshan raised his head in amazement and looked at Zhong Yuanfu, and opened his mouth, "I...... I...... There's no need for this, brother, I didn't really do anything to him, I just spoke a little louder......"

Zhong Yuanfu said: "Think about it, when we were still doing group performances, this was a few years ago, and it wasn't the previous life, do you remember? The assistant director in charge of the group performance, now you think about it, what a big character is that, just yelling at us, scolding a dog at every turn, don't you bother him?"

Zhou Baoshan was silent for a moment and nodded, "Okay! I'll go to him tomorrow to apologize." ”

Zhong Yuanfu listened to this and listened to this sound, and it seemed that there was resentment and dissatisfaction in it.

But he didn't care.

After saying this, he stood up and said, "That's okay, you rest, I'm leaving!"

Zhou Baoshan was stunned.

He thought that the senior brother deliberately broke up the agent to have a long chat with him, at least to talk about some important things!

At this time, he couldn't help but stand up and said, "Senior brother, I ......"

Zhong Yuanfu suddenly stopped, smiling, but didn't look at him, just a little emotional, and said, "Do you remember how our master died?"

Zhou Baoshan was shocked when he heard this.

I thought it was good, but when I actually wrote it, I couldn't write the flavor I wanted, and it felt a bit thankless. It's too verbose.

Well, I'll try to end this episode tomorrow.
