Chapter 9 Refusal
Da Lao Wang thought more about Zhou Xingchi's golden signboard, and he hoped that Zhou Xingchi could continue to be tied to the carriage of light.
Shen Lin endured it and didn't complain!
Hehe, that's naΓ―ve.
How can a person like Zhou Xingchi directly kneel down and call him a little brother because of your personality charm?
He said of himself, 'I love money so much!'
In the original time and space, Light is the largest investor in "The Mermaid", accounting for 40% of the total investment.
Originally, Zhou Xingchi signed a guaranteed issuance of 1.6 billion.
"The Mermaid" was a box office success, and Guangguang became the biggest winner, without Zhou Xingchi going to court, Da Lao Wang automatically subsidized Zhou's box office dividends of nearly 200 million.
It's enough to save face!
As a result, the largest investor in "Journey to the West" was changed to Alibaba Pictures.
The reason is very simple, Ali Pictures has a lot of money, and Zhou Xingchi will definitely have greater benefits if he cooperates with them, so why cooperate with Guangguang?
Since Ali's father entered the entertainment industry, every step has been earth-shattering!
The simplest example, "The Ferryman", a romance film, actually cost 400 million yuan!
What's more, the cost of a simple romance film is as high as 400 million!
Do you think it's Titanic?
teamed up with Chai Zhiping to create five movies in five years - Ali is really rich and panicked, Chai Zhiping can watch a "Meteor Garden"!
Large-scale investment in the works of the King of Sunglasses - The prestige of the King of Sunglasses has been circulated for a long time, and one film is lost!
In short, Ali's strategy is to use the most expensive people!
Grab a job with Ali, where did the big king get the courage?
"Mr. Wang, you better give up Zhou Xingchi, although this person has a good audience, I also admit that he can create more wealth, but once it comes to money, what can we do against Ali?"
"Well, let me think again..."
Wang Changtian hung up the phone.
Shen Lin pursed his lips.
I really didn't expect Comrade Wang to be so childlike!
"You're done calling?"
"What's wrong?"
Before hanging up the phone, Zhao Liying walked over.
ββ¦ Just now Baby called me and said he wanted to invite us to dinner. β
"Let's go!"
Shen Lin didn't care, didn't he just eat.
She said Huang Xiaoming would also be there. β
"How normal, people are husband and wife. β
As he spoke, Shen Lin changed into a clean white shirt, casually picked up a glass of white water, and poured it down.
"She also said..."
"What did you say?"
Li Ying suddenly slurred a little, and I don't know why.
"She said that Zhao Junqi will also be there!"
"Poof, Walt, Zhao Junqi?"
Shen Lin sprayed directly, and couldn't help but ask again: "Are you sure it's Zhao Junqi?"
"Hmm. β
Zhao Liying's face was also a little strange.
Huang Xiaoming has a crush on Zhao Junqi, this Nima is a well-known thing on the whole network, and Baby is Huang Xiaoming's daughter-in-law.
The former goddess and the current wife share a room!
Brother Xiao Ming is really amazing!
"Hehe, I really want Wendi Deng to go with him, let him carry the camera and capture the close-up of Huang Xiaoming. β
Shen Lin joked with a smile.
"Hmph, it's like you're being honest..."
Zhao Liying meant something.
ββ¦ Let's go, don't be late. β
β¦β¦
Shen Lin led Zhao Liying to the hotel that Baby said.
A very small private restaurant, but after entering, I found that there is a different world, whether it is the decoration or the quality of the waiter, it is by no means comparable to the average star hotel.
"Two inside, please. β
Under the leadership of the waiter, the husband and wife came to a private room, pushed the door open, Huang Xiaoming, Baby and Zhao Junqi were all sitting inside, by the way, there was also a person who Shen Lin was very surprised, Liu Jialing!
It happened that Huang Xiaoming was talking to Zhao Junqi back then, Liu Jialing interjected from time to time, and Baby stiffly kept smiling and looked at the three of them.
"Director Shen, Li Ying, you're here. β
Yang Ying's face changed quickly, and immediately turned into a grinning appearance.
"Sister Zhao, Sister Jialing, Brother Xiao Ming, Baby. β
After Shen Lin and Zhao Liying took their seats, they began to cook.
"This private dish is one of the most famous in the capital, I heard that the ancestor is the director of the imperial dining room, so the chef is very good, I order a few signature dishes, let's taste it." β
It was Zhao Junqi who spoke.
Shen Lin looked at Huang Xiaoming and Baby a little strangely, it seemed that this time it was not the idea of these two people.
"By the way, I haven't congratulated Director Shen on winning the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and Zhao Liying for winning the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress, winning glory for the country!
After putting down the cup, Shen Lin and Zhao Liying glanced at each other, and both of them were a little surprised.
The young couple and Zhao Junqi have no intersection.
The more enthusiastic Comrade Junqi became, the more panicked Shen Lin became.
What is this whole show for?
also called Liu Jialing over to accompany him?
Zhao Junqi is also very patient, and the reason why Shen Lin and Zhao Liying have not been mentioned at the dinner table.
Finally, when he was full of wine and food, Zhao Junqi spoke: "Director Shen, I have always wanted to prove my acting skills, I don't know if there is a chance to join your movie?"
I finally understand that the co-author wants to act in a movie!
"I have three projects this year, "Notes on Tomb Robbery" is a men's play, and the actresses have very little room to play; "Magic City" is a group play, and the actresses have a lot of room to play, but unfortunately, there are not many shots, so there is really no project suitable for Sister Zhao. β
Shen Lin directly refused.
"What about the third one? I heard that the third movie is what you're going to use to hit the Oscars?"
"The third is a song and dance film, "La La Land", and I am ready to use all Western actors, after all, there has been no market for song and dance films in China. β
Shen Lin said it reasonably, but the intention was obvious: don't think about it!
Zhao Junqi is in his thirties, and he can't play the little swallow of the year, in fact, the mother in "The Magic City" is very suitable for her, but Shen Lin suspects that this sister can't play the desired result, so it's better to leave it to Qin Hailu or Hao Lei.
Zhao Junqi's acting skills are really not very powerful, except for "Dear", which can be seen a little bit of her intentions, the rest of the feelings are all at the level of being released.
Whether it's "Tiger Mom and Cat Dad" or "Hong Kong", I really don't think there is any acting skills!
ββ¦ That's it, Director Shen, since I can't act, can I invest in your new project?"
Zhao Junqi still doesn't give up, since he can't get the trophy, then make money!
Anyway, there is basically no possibility of losing money in Shen Lin's movie!
"Hehe, Sister Zhao, the investors of these three projects have all been determined, and our company only accounts for 30% of the investment share, if I nod, what will other companies do?"
Shen Lin smiled, but still refused.
"Notes on Tomb Robbery" is co-invested and produced by five production companies, and the project of "La La Land" is also promoted by the touchstone, and because the project has just been established, there are very few people who know about it for the time being, so there is no investor.
Shen Lin said it very tactfully, but the meaning was obvious: 'Why does Lao Tzu want to take you to play?'
"Director Shen, sometimes one more friend is always better than one enemy!"
Liu Jialing, who had been looking at Shen Lin very indifferently, saw that Zhao Junqi's face was not good, and said directly.
