Chapter 13: Self-defeating
…
From the 80s to the mid-90s, Li Saifeng can be regarded as the number one actress in Hong Kong action movies, and the same name as Hu Huizhong is the overlord flower, her appearance is sweet and lovely, and she is considered the most beautiful police flower in police and gangster movies.
Xu Cun, a slut, has a special fetish - he likes athletic women. Because, Xu Cun always thinks that athletic women have the best kung fu in bed!
Therefore, as soon as he heard the words 'Li Saifeng', Xu Cun's heart immediately became hot!
However, after Xu Cun saw Li Saifeng, his heart slowly cooled!
It's not that this Li Saifeng is not Li Saifeng, but the current Li Saifeng is too young - it will take at least one or two years to play, which makes Xu Cun, who is full of fire, unable to help but be disappointed!
Fortunately, although Li Saifeng is young, she can barely play the heroine of Xu Cun's movie.
……
took Lin Zhengying and Dong Wei to Li Saifeng, who was posing for a 'one' horse press, Xu Cun squatted down and looked at Li Saifeng, and asked, "Do you want to be a movie star?"
Li Saifeng looked at the guy who suddenly appeared and was slightly stunned, but asked rhetorically: "Are you ......?"
"Let me introduce myself, I am Xu Cun, the owner of DreamWorks Films. Xu Cun stretched out his right hand and said.
Li Saifeng put his legs together, slowly stood up, looked at Xu Cun, and then looked at Lin Zhengying and Dong Wei behind Xu Cun, and then stayed on Dong Wei for a moment before looking back at Xu Cun.
However, Li Saifeng did not shake hands with Xu Cun and did not speak.
Xu Cun naturally withdrew his right hand, then pointed at Dong Wei with his left index finger, and said: "His name is Dong Wei, and he is a neighbor with you, and he is also an actor in our DreamWorks, and he recommended you to me, so I will appear here." ”
Li Saifeng had seen Dong Wei, and heard Xu Cun say that Dong Wei recommended her to Xu Cun, and her wariness of Xu Cun immediately diminished a lot, but she still didn't speak.
Seeing that Li Saifeng was a little scared, Xu Cun pointed to a café not far away with a smile on his face and said, "In this way, you go and call your parents, I will wait for you in that café, and then I will talk to your parents directly, how about it?"
Hearing Xu Cun say that she wanted to see her parents, Li Saifeng's vigilance subsided, and she said to Xu Cun in a very small voice: "I'm going to find my old bean, please wait a while." ”
After finishing speaking, Li Saifeng nodded lightly at Xu Cun, and then hurried in the direction of her house......
……
After Li Saifeng disappeared from the eyes of several people, Dong Wei came to Xu Cun's side and asked, "Brother Cun, is she okay?"
Xu Cun said as he walked towards the café: "The appearance is okay, but I am a little afraid of life, and I have to train myself." ”
Dong Wei followed Xu Cun and asked, "Brother Cun, what is our movie called?"
"Happy ghosts. Xu Cun replied.
Since the idea of making a movie, Xu Cun has been thinking about what movie to make.
To be honest, for Xu Cun, there are many good movies that can be made by 500,000 yuan. For example: "Nightclub", "Buried Alive", "Once" and so on......
However, considering the current receptivity of Xiangjiang moviegoers, I am afraid that only filming "Happy Ghost" is both economical and the most secure!
Therefore, although "Happy Ghost" has no connotation, Xu Cun still chose it - Xu Cun really can't afford to lose, once he loses, it will not only delay him a lot of time, but also make him lose a lot of opportunities.
……
Half an hour later, Li Saifeng took her father to the café.
Father Li is a very shrewd middle-aged man in his forties, and after talking to Xu Cun for a few words, he said bluntly: "Mr. Xu, please forgive me for being blunt - before coming here, I inquired with friends in the film industry, and they all said that they had never heard of DreamWorks, a film company. ”
Xu Cun smiled and asked, "May I ask Mr. Li, do you read the newspaper?"
Although he didn't understand what Xu Cun meant, Father Li still replied truthfully: "Look." ”
"Then do you read novels?" Xu Cun asked again.
"Occasionally. Father Li replied.
"My novel, The Ethereal Journey, is now being serialized in the Oriental Daily...... As for my studio, it's honestly just been launched, huh...... To be more precise, I was going to apply for the company's business license in the afternoon, and the reason why I came to your daughter Li Saifeng first was because I was going to ask her to make the first DreamWorks movie. Xu Cun said unhurriedly.
After more than half a year of fermentation, "The Ethereal Journey" has reached an unprecedented level of popularity! It is no exaggeration to say that few people who like to read novels do not know "The Ethereal Journey".
Li's father, who occasionally reads novels, also knows the novel "Ethereal Journey". Therefore, after listening to Xu Cun's words, Father Li's eyes widened and asked, "Are you really the author of "Ethereal Journey"?"
Xu Cun took out his ID card from his arms and put it on the table, then pointed at Dong Wei and said, "His name is Dong Wei, and he is a neighbor of your family, and he also recommended your daughter to me." ”
Father Li nodded lightly at Dong Wei, and glanced at Xu Cun's ID card from the corner of his eye, and then he said in surprise: "Mr. Xu, you are only eighteen years old?"
"Uh......" Xu Cun really forgot that there was a date of birth on his ID card! So, it was indeed self-defeating for him to take out his ID card.
At the same time, Lin Zhengying and Dong Wei also showed surprise-they didn't expect that the person they had called Brother Cun for half a year had just come of age! And Li Saifeng, who had always lowered his head and looked at the milk tea in front of him, secretly raised his head to look at Xu Cun, and then lowered his head again.
Putting away his ID card, Xu Cun smiled faintly and said, "I'm careless, I didn't expect to prove to you that I am the author of "Ethereal Journey", but my age is exposed. ”
Then, Xu Cun put away his smile and said: "I sincerely invite your daughter to make a movie, and as the first female artist to sign a contract with DreamWorks, I am ready to train her to become a household name first-line female star." ”
When Xu Cun's words ended, Li's father began to fall silent - no one present knew whether he was thinking about Xu Cun's age or whether he should let his daughter Li Saifeng sign a contract with DreamWorks.
After a long time, Li's father asked Xu Cun: "I don't know if Mr. Xu wants to sign a contract with Xiaofeng for a few years?"
"Fifteen years. Xu Cun replied.
Father Li shook his head lightly and said in an uncompromising tone, "It's been too long! I can get her to sign for two years at most." ”
Father Li has his own considerations - he does not believe in the future of DreamWorks, a film company that does not even have a business license. So, he couldn't let his baby daughter be tied to the DreamWorks chariot.
Xu Cun asked the waiter for a piece of paper, wrote the phone number of the Li family on it, and then said: "It is impossible for me to spend huge resources and money to cultivate an artist who has no confidence in DreamWorks, you can call me after thinking about it carefully." ”
After speaking, Xu Cun put a hundred yuan on the table, then got up and walked outside the café.
Seeing this, Lin Zhengying and Dong Wei also followed.
When he was about to walk to the door of the café, Xu Cun stopped and said without looking back: "Mr. Li, my movie is a campus comedy, Dong Wei is your neighbor, and your daughter can be lucky to play the heroine directly." To put it mildly, if she misses this opportunity, she may only be an ordinary woman who has been working all her life. Well...... That's all there is to it. ”
After speaking, Xu Cun left the café with Lin Zhengying and Dong Wei.
