Wancheng Washington.

I don't know how long I slept, and Bian Xuedao, who was sweating profusely, woke up suddenly.

Gasping for breath, he sat on the bed, and his brain ached because he woke up so quickly.

Press the bedside lamp, Yanjing outside the window is raining at night, the rain is not heavy, you can't hear the sound, you can only see the water marks on the glass, in response to the sentence "the spring breeze and rain moisten things silently".

Get out of bed, put on your pajamas and go downstairs, turn on all the lights that can be turned on, and the huge villa is deserted.

It's just that it's cold, and he's not scared at all.

In his previous life, when Bian Xuedao walked in such an empty house in the middle of the night, he might think of the ghost movies and horror movies he had watched, and secretly broke out in a cold sweat.

But now he was not afraid.

He is a reborn, and even if he returns to the body of his "self" who is more than ten years younger in another time and space, he still can't change the fact of resurrecting the soul, or, in a less terrifying term, possession.

"Lao Tzu himself is a ghost, and he is still afraid of his mother's ghost?"

Opening the wine cabinet and pouring a glass of Penfolds 407, Bian Xuedao sat on the sofa and took a sip, recalling what Yu Jin said at dinner in the evening.

Hedong Garden......

It is a good choice to transfer assets, although the investment is large, but if you demolish and build a villa and sell it, you will definitely not lose money.

As for "2012"......

It was because I remembered some scenes from the movie "2012" before going to bed just now, which made Bian Xuedao have nightmares.

In the dream, he spent a lot of money to buy a piece of land and build an amazing mansion, he invited Seo Sang-so to his new home, wanting to get praise from Sang-so, but before he could speak, the world in him began to fall apart.

Huge storm clouds covered the sky, the earth under his feet was broken by a great earthquake, the sky was on fire, the earth was surging with magma, the sky was cracking, and the people in the city screamed and wailed and ran for shelter, but they could not avoid the cracks in the earth.

The well-built mansion collapsed and shattered, the proud garden pool was unrecognizable, Bian Xuedao took Xu Shangxiu's hand and ran wildly, ran a long way, turned around sharply, and found that the person he led all the way was not Xu Shangxiu, a strange woman he didn't know. He ran back, and in the huge crack in the ground, he saw Xu Shangxiu who let go of his hand and fell, he lay on the edge of the crack and reached out to fish, but he couldn't reach it, he watched Xu Shangxiu fall into the dark red and blazing abyss like Sun Wukong who watched the Zixia Fairy float away in the great sage's marriage, and wanted to shout but couldn't make a sound......

When he woke up, he comforted himself: Dreams are reversed! Dreams are reversed!

Throwing away the illusion in his dream, Bian Xuedao, who was not sleepy, began to ponder the movie "2012".

For Bian Xuedao, "2012" has a meaning that is difficult for others to know.

That's right, the first time Bian Xuedao and Xu Shangxiu walked into the cinema to watch the movie together in their previous life was "2012".

The ghost made God choose "2012" inexplicably.

After watching the movie and walking out of the movie theater, there was a light snow drifting in Songjiang in December.

Bian Xuedao took a taxi to send Xu Shangxiu back to the community where she lived, and downstairs in the unit, he reluctantly had nothing to say: "Is the movie good?"

Xu Shangxiu: "Hmm. ”

Bian Xuedao looked at the tip of Xu Shangxiu's beautiful nose and asked, "It won't scare you into having nightmares at night, right?"

Xu Shangxiu looked up at Bian Xuedao with a smile and said, "No! movies are all fake!"

Bian Xuedao said, "What if it's true?"

Xu Shangxiu was stunned: "Huh?"

Bian Xuedao said: "What if 2012 is really the end of the world?"

Xu Shangxiu blinked, not knowing how to answer.

Bian Xuedao took a small half step forward, smelled Xu Shangxiu's fragrance, and whispered: "It's almost the end of the world, can we hold on to some ......?"

Xu Shangxiu listened, took a small half step back, stared at Bian Xuedao's eyes for a few seconds, and suddenly said, "Pay attention to safety on the way back." After speaking, he waved his hand to Bian Xuedao, turned around and entered the unit door.

As it turns out, "2012" was not in vain.

The effect of "grasping up" is that 6 months later, Xu Shangxiu married Bian Xuedao.

is such a movie with special significance, it doesn't matter if there is no intersection, now that it has been encountered, Bian Xuedao will not let it go.

In fact, "2012" is more suitable for investing while learning the way.

Because "2012" in the previous life was a propaganda gimmick with "Chinese elements" and "China saves the world", the movie even said half-truths - "Such a huge amount of work can only be done by China!"

Of course, Bian Xuedao, who has watched "2012", knows that the so-called "Chinese elements" in the movie are very nonsense, for example, in fact, in "2012", China plays the role of the world's factory, not the world savior; For example, in the movie, China is represented by several old people and a **** lama, and the **** lama tells a famous Zen story in the movie.

One side is plausible, the other side is wishful thinking.

If......

If Bian Xuedao's "Youdao Film and Television Media" becomes an investor in "2012", of course, it is only one of the investors.

You must know that movies like "2012" are all "burned" by burning money, and the production cost starts at 200 million US dollars. Even though he knew that this movie would not lose money, but before the big earthquake, Bian Xuedao was under a lot of financial pressure, and he estimated in his heart that if he invested in "2012", he could come up with a maximum of $50 million.

All right......

If he really becomes one of the film investors, Bian Xuedao will definitely put forward some requirements for the script of "2012", such as the proportion of "Chinese elements" in it; such as the casting of Chinese faces; such as the appearance of a prop marked with the word "Beixing" in the movie, and the human feelings of Qi Sanshu; such as the image of China and the Chinese.

In addition, if the line "China is a responsible big country" can appear in the movie, even if you try your best, Bian Xuedao will increase investment, and $50 million is not enough, then $100 million is good.

Movies themselves are the battlefield of cultural games, if the films invested by "Youdao Film and Television Media" can win this game, it is much more than spending money on advertising in Times Square in New York!

………………

On May 4th, it rained all day in Yanjing.

The rain caused the temperature in the capital to drop significantly, from 28 degrees Celsius on May 1 to 10 degrees Celsius on May 4.

The sudden cooling has led to a polarization of the "dressing season" in the streets - some with half-sleeved bare legs, others with umbrellas and down jackets.

On the 4th, Bian Xuedao had a full-day meeting with his subordinates in the office.

The main content of the meeting includes three parts, one part is the promotion plan of Zhiwei Weibo in the second half of the year, one part is the Olympic coverage plan of Zhiwei Video, and the other part is the development plan of Youdao Film and Television Media Company.

During the lunch break, Bian Xuedao called Liao Lian and asked her to talk to Sony about investing in "2012".

Liao Lian said to Bian Xuedao: "The original name of the movie was "Farewell-Atlantis" (Farewell-Atlantis), and "2012" is the tentative title. Besides, Sony is not the Obaro Pictures you worked with, they are not short of money, and the conditions you put forward are a bit harsh, so I can only try to talk to them, and I guess there is little hope of negotiating. ”

Bian Xuedao asked, "Are my conditions harsh?"

Liao Lian smiled and said, "It depends on the other party's acceptance." ”

Bian Xuedao said: "It's okay, the conditions I just said, you put them forward word for word." For a $200 million movie, our family paid 100 million, which is equivalent to helping them share half of the risk, and they can't help but agree. Besides, since they want to come to the mainland film market to share the cake, they have to weigh the influence of Weibo, if they really reject me, don't blame me for not giving them face at that time. ”

Liao Liao asked in surprise: "Why don't you give face?"

Bian Xuedao said with a wicked smile: "Spoilers, bad reviews, plus gun version." ”

Liao Li said: "You're not...... right"

Bian Xuedao said: "I am a careful person and do what I say." ”

Liao Li sighed and said, "Boss Bian, you better talk to Sony with another person." ”

Bian Xuedao said: "My words are for execution, and I refuse to bargain." ”

………………

At 8 p.m., the rain stopped.

Li Bing drove, and Maserati drove in the brightly lit and colorful city at night.

Looking out of the car window, on the high-rise building, every window with lights on exudes the warmth of home, and on both sides of the road, every shining neon is filled with the sultry night of the night.

When he was about to arrive at Wancheng Huafu, Bian Xuedao picked up his mobile phone and dialed Fan Qingyu's number.

"It's me. ”

"I know. ”

"Do you have an appointment for the evening?"

“…… Not. ”

"I'm in the community. ”

“…… Oh. ”

An hour after Bian Xuedao arrived home, the doorbell rang, and Fan Qingyu appeared in the video access control.

Bian Xuedao, who had just finished taking a shower, walked over in a bathrobe and opened the door, the door opened, and Fan Qingyu, who was standing at the door, was wearing light makeup, wearing a black Burberry Kensington long windbreaker, with a slightly cramped expression.

Bian Xuedao didn't speak, and turned sideways slightly.

Fan Qingyu bit her lip lightly and walked into the door with her head down.

With a "click", the door closed, cutting off the scenery inside the door.
