Chapter 127: Hong Jinbao's embarrassment
It's really normal for friends to bring some people who want to know Wu Cheng over like this. Just like Zheng Shaoqiu brought Wang Jing, a fat man, over before.
This time, in addition to Zeng Zhiwei brought by Hong Jinbao, there is also Sister Dudu Zheng Yuling, who came with Zhou Yanfa, and Depolia, that is, Xie Tingfeng's mother. However, at this time, Deborah has not yet married Xiao Xie and his father Lao Xie, let alone Xie Tingfeng.
These actresses in their youth are all quite beautiful, but compared with Zhao Yazhi and others, these are not his dishes at all. In this regard, he just politely chatted with them, and as for the opportunity to cooperate, it was basically just polite words.
In the corner, Lan Jieying pursed her lower lip and said, "They are coming, and Brother Cheng can't stop them from coming! Moreover, if you look at Brother Cheng's appearance, it is estimated that he is just polite to them, just like my parents laugh with the guests, it is also polite!"
Compared with Zhou Huimin, Lan Jieying is somewhat mature, after all, she is thirteen years old, although she looks small and exquisite, like a child who can't grow up.
Compared with her in the previous life, she should have changed a lot in this life, at least Wu Cheng feels that she is very lively and cheerful, and if there is anything, she will also talk to him, which is a good change.
"Adults are really hypocritical!" Zhou Huimin pursed his lips and said.
Lan Jieying smiled: "We will grow up too! Last year, Brother Cheng was as old as me, and now he has grown so big! Maybe, I will grow that big next year!"
When Zhou Huimin heard this, he looked at her, then at Wu Cheng in the field, and said cautiously with some concern: "If you look as big as Brother Cheng, will you still play with me? In school, my classmates call me a chubby girl, and if they don't play with me, they will bully me!"
"As long as Xiaomin is obedient, I will definitely play with you!" Lan Jieying smiled, reached out and took a handful of Zhou Huimin's chubby little face, giggling.
"I hate it! and make people's faces again. ”
……
"Mei Mei, have you thought about it, do you want to go back and mention it to him together, or I think he will forget about it!" On the other side, Zhong Chuhong stayed with Mei Yanfang, whispering.
But her eyes kept glancing at Wu Cheng, and Zhong Chuhong felt very uncomfortable about Wu Cheng taking Zhao Yazhi to greet her friends and throwing her aside.
However, in front of so many people, she didn't want to embarrass Wu Cheng, otherwise, she would only let outsiders see the joke. She can still tell the weight of the matter.
Moreover, when Wu Cheng was provoking her, she knew that Wu Cheng liked others, and she was willing to drill into them, and she couldn't blame others.
Just like Wu Cheng said at the beginning, with an example like him by her side, her vision of picking a boyfriend is indeed much higher, and she can't compare with Wu Cheng every time.
This made her very disappointed at the same time, and she also gritted her teeth at Wu Cheng.
Of course, thinking about Wu Cheng's sweet words to her, she felt blushing and heartbeat, and her heart was full of happiness. She felt that she was a little stupid, knowing that she couldn't fight, and she had to do it herself.
Mei Yanfang was also confused in her heart, but she felt that Zhong Chuhong was luckier than her, because at least Wu Cheng had a deeper relationship with Zhong Chuhong than her. She felt that Wu Cheng just treated her like a sister, which made her empty heart even more unsettled.
She was also hesitating whether to continue this hidden feeling, because she knew that there was more than one woman Wu Cheng liked, in addition to Zhao Yazhi, there was also a Zhong Chuhong next to her who was eyeing her there! This made her a little overwhelmed by the love she once longed for.
In addition, she also felt that her sister had similar feelings to Wu Cheng as her, but she felt that her sister's chances were smaller, because she could feel that Wu Cheng was better to her than her sister.
Even she doesn't have a chance, what other chance can my sister have?
Before, she heard Zhong Chuhong mention to her that Wu Cheng planned to ask them to make a movie called 'Happy Ghost', and she was still very happy, at least so that she could get along with Wu Cheng more.
But now, she doesn't know if she is going to act in this play.
Yes, Zhong Chuhong's question made her hesitate. In addition, Wu Cheng has high expectations for her in music, and she doesn't know if she has the talent to act, for fear that she will delay her singing because of acting, so presumably, he will be very disappointed!
This mood makes it even more difficult for her to choose!
As they whispered about these trivial matters, music played.
Wu Cheng played a song for everyone, and then gave the opportunity to communicate with a group of friends, and he took Hong Jinbao to the study on the second floor.
In the study, Aunt Chen brought two cups of coffee in and withdrew.
Wu Cheng picked up the coffee, took a sip, and said, "Brother Sanmao, try it, it's good, the authentic goods I brought back from California, Aunt Chen's hand-grinding, not instant goods!"
Hong Jinbao picked it up with a smile, took a sip, and said with a smile: "It's a little bitter, I'm not used to it!"
"This flavor is authentic!" Wu Cheng smiled, baked him another cigar, threw it to him, and then pushed a whole box in front of him, and said, "This is also what I brought back, but I'm not used to smoking, you can bring it back later!"
Seeing that Wu Cheng was letting him drink coffee and roasting cigars for him, Hong Jinbao smiled and said, "Ah Cheng, you are running a film company in Hollywood, are you going to enter Hollywood?"
Wu Cheng shook his head and said, "It's not time for Xiangjiang Films to enter Hollywood. But you can test the water over there first and cultivate the audience base first. After all, our film is different from Mr. Li Xiaolong's original film. Moreover, our fame cannot be compared with Mr. Li Xiaolong in Hollywood, and the chance of failure will be very high. ”
Wu Cheng said, then laughed again, and said, "Today, I mainly want to tell you about some of our Donglong's investments in Hollywood." I mentioned it to you on the phone before, although at that time you rejected the offer to invest in Hollywood. Still, I want to make sure, are you really not willing to continue to invest in Hollywood's branches?"
When Hung Jinbao heard this, he was a little embarrassed, he felt that he refused to invest in Hollywood, and he felt a little unrighteous. But he really doesn't have much confidence in investing in Hollywood movies.
In Hollywood, once the investment in a film fails, the loss can be tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, and he feels a little unbearable.
Although he also yearns for Hollywood, he also knows that the road has to be taken step by step. He is not as energetic as Wu Cheng, and he has little confidence in Wu Cheng's investment in the movie "Star Wars".
So he refused to invest in the Hollywood branch, which made him, who has always been righteous, feel that he is a little unkind and not righteous enough this time.
"Ah Cheng, I'm sorry!" Hong Jinbao said embarrassedly.
Wu Cheng waved his hand to stop him from continuing to apologize, and smiled: "It's okay! I know that my behavior seems to you to be a little impulsive." However, since none of you are willing to invest in Hollywood movies, the name of the branch needs to be changed. ”
"Ah Cheng, I'm sorry!" Hong Jinbao said again, "I know that your investment vision has always been very accurate. But I really don't have much confidence in investing in Hollywood movies!"
Wu Cheng laughed when he heard this, and finally got up and came to Hong Jinbao's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Brother Sanmao, I have said it, don't be polite to me! We are brothers, if you are polite to me, then should I also be polite to you? Although you refused to invest in Hollywood, don't you have a branch in Treasure Island!"
Baodao Branch, Hong Jinbao is willing to participate in the investment, first, Baodao's film investment will not be too large, and second, Baodao Branch, most of them may be making literary films.
A company does need some films to win some awards to support its face. Otherwise, a film company that shoots all commercial films can't be justified.
"Actually, I think I'm taking advantage of you! With your current value, if you cooperate with someone to start a film company and they give you half of the shares, you will definitely not be willing! Thinking about it this way, don't you think that if you cooperate with me, you are actually losing a lot?"
Hong Jinbao laughed when he heard this, and finally shook his head and said: "Ah Cheng, don't say these nice things to coax me! I have a few pounds and a few taels, can I not know? If I hadn't cooperated with you to start a company, I would have been making movies at Golden Harvest at most. Even if you open a small company like the Xu brothers, you have to be restricted by Golden Harvest, can it be the same as now?"
Hong Jinbao was quite self-aware, and said: "Besides, although I only have one and a half shares in Donglong International, but this half of the shares, the current value is already several million, and if you add the shares in the theater chain, it will be nearly 10 million." Although most of these are bank loans, the value of our company is there. ”
In addition, he can direct and act, get enough salary every time, and he doesn't need to worry about shooting funds, compared to the Xu brothers, he feels much better.
Wu Cheng smiled, sat back in his chair, and said, "How is the filming of "The Loser"? I think after you finish filming this one, you will directly start filming "Fuxing II" and take over next summer." ”
"No problem, I've wanted to shoot 'Fuxing II' for a long time, and I have also conceived some scripts, and I'll go back and sort them out for you to see if those scenes are useful. ”
"Okay!" Wu Cheng paused, and said: "In the future, the 'Fuxing' series will be handed over to you to operate!
"That's okay!" Hong Jinbao nodded, excited.
However, thinking of Hu Huizhong, the actor of Overlord Flower in 'Fuxing II', Wu Cheng hesitated a little, whether to go to Treasure Island to find this actor?
(Ask for a ticket!)
