"Golden Harvest plans to invest 150 million Hong Kong dollars to start filming this movie, and I hope Lin Sheng will support it."

Hearing the news from Zou Wenhuai's mouth, Lin Youlun was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but think in his heart that Jiahe was really generous this time.

He Guanchang's eyebrows twitched, as if he wanted to say something, but he still held back. He looks calm on the surface, but in fact, he has set off turbulent waves in his heart.

Golden Harvest's investment plan for "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" is only 120 million, how did Zou Wenhuai get an extra 30 million out of thin air?

Saying this in front of others can also be interpreted as a bluff, but the special effects production of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" has to go through the hands of Aurora, and it is easy to deduce whether the cost of Golden Harvest's investment in this movie is 150 million.

Besides, even if you do some tricks and feet in special effects production, with Lin Youlun's knowledge, can't you see the difference between 120 million and 150 million movies?

Zou Wenhuai would not fail to realize this, and the only reasonable explanation is that what he said is true.

This is what surprised He Guanchang, just met and chatted with Lin Youlun for a few words, and raised the production cost of the movie by 30 million, although this money Jiahe can still bear, but after all, it is not a small number.

If Cheng Long hadn't developed in Hollywood, he would have stayed in Hong Kong to make a movie, which is almost the same number.

Zou Wenhuai decided to make this decision with his own considerations, in the conversation just now, Lin Youlun obviously did not have much interest in participating in the investment of this film, Zou Wenhuai wanted to persuade Lin Youlun to let Aurora Company help Golden Harvest give priority to the production of this movie, there were only two ways left.

First, Zou Wenhuai put down his body and took the initiative to beg for it. I believe that Lin Youlun will give him this face no matter what; The second is to show Golden Harvest's ambition and courage to shoot this film. aroused Lin Youlun's interest in this movie.

Not cornered. Zou Wenhuai didn't want to use the first method, so he raised the investment cost of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" by 30 million, and the investment cost of 150 million was enough to attract Lin Youlun's attention.

It seems that he was also infected by Zou Wenhuai's determination, Lin Youlun nodded and said:

"Mr. Zou and Mr. He are determined to make this movie bigger, and I can say hello to Aurora and ask them to cooperate with Golden Harvest as much as possible."

Zhu Yanping paced anxiously around the living room. Keep raising his hand to look at his watch, his ears are always listening to the footsteps outside, always paying attention to the sound of cars coming in outside the door, walking through the window to the courtyard in front of the door for a look or two, and then sitting back on the sofa, he is very anxious, and he can't wait to see Lin Youlun immediately.

Seeing Lin Youlun's nanny Wu Ma walking in, Zhu Yanping immediately stood up and looked at each other expectantly.

"Have you contacted Mr. Lin?"

"Mr. Lin is meeting with several important guests, and I don't know when Lu Dao will return. Director Zhu may have to wait a little longer. ”

Wu's mother's answer made Zhu Yanping's heart sink to the bottom suddenly, and a huge disappointment enveloped him. He slumped heavily on the couch with an indescribable look of frustration.

"Director Zhu, you're fine, right?" Mother Wu saw that Zhu Yanping's expression was a little wrong, and asked with concern.

Zhu Yanping also realized his gaffe, collected his emotions, waved his hand and said, "I'll continue to wait." ”

I felt that Zhu Yanping's reaction was a little strange, but Wu's mother didn't ask more, turned around and walked out of the living room, and secretly made another call to Lin Youlun's assistant Ajie.

Lin Youlun, Zou Wenhuai, and He Guanchang were talking about things, and Ajie first learned that Zhu Yanping was coming to the door, but he didn't immediately tell Lin Youlun about it, because in his opinion, Zhu Yanping is just a director, and no matter how urgent his affairs are, it can't be more important than what Lin Youlun talked about with Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang.

Wu's mother called again, and Ajie heard Zhu Yanping's reaction, and then realized that the matter might be more urgent than he imagined, so he didn't hesitate, walked over directly, and told Lin Youlun the news.

Lin Youlun promised to facilitate the filming of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" by Golden Harvest, Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang were very happy, and were about to invite Lin Youlun to have dinner together, but they didn't want Lin Youlun's assistant to walk in at this time, leaned over and whispered a few words in his ear, and then Lin Youlun's face changed.

Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang are such shrewd characters, they naturally saw at a glance that Lin Youlun estimated that there were other things, the two glanced at each other quickly, and then Zou Wenhuai said: "Since Lin Sheng has other important matters, we will not bother, and we will hold a banquet to thank you another day." ”

Seeing off Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang, Lin Youlun did not rush home in a hurry, but asked Ajie to pick up Zhu Yanping.

Zhu Yanping is now helping Lin Youlun film, no matter what happens, Lin Youlun can't let him talk about it hungry.

——

Zhu Yanping was taken to the restaurant by his assistant Ajie, Lin Youlun had already ordered the food and was waiting for him there, facing a table of food, Zhu Yanping had no appetite, and sat down with a very depressed expression.

"Mr. Lin, what did you give me...... I smashed it. ”

Lin Youlun was cutting a piece of steak, and when he heard this, he stopped and raised his head to look at Zhu Yanping, his eyes were calm and sharp.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Lin Youlun's tone was still flat, and he couldn't hear any joy or anger at all, but Zhu Yanping was even more worried in his heart.

"It's Zhang Yusheng, he refuses to appear in this movie." Zhu Yanping's expression darkened, Zhang Yusheng was originally the candidate he recommended to Lin Youlun, but now that he said this, it was tantamount to slapping himself in the face.

This is not the most important thing, if Lin Youlun mistakenly thinks that he is teasing him, then the situation will be bad.

"What's going on?" Lin Youlun's gaze poured on Zhu Yanping's spine like ice water, and there was already some displeasure in his tone.

Lin Youlun knew very well in his heart that even if he gave Zhu Yanping a hundred guts, it was unlikely that he would be happy with this kind of thing, and there must have been something unexpected in it.

No matter what the reason is, it can't hide Zhu Yanping's incompetence in this matter, which is also the reason why Lin Youlun is angry.

Zhu Yanping originally wanted to hide some things, but when it came to this, it was impossible for him not to offend both ends, and under the forced gaze of Lin Youlun, he had to tell the matter one by one.

"Mr. Lin, this incident is mainly my fault, I shouldn't have told the story in front of the Taiwanese media before the filming of "My Sassy Girlfriend" started, and then caused the current trouble...... Zhang Yusheng had already agreed, but because of the intervention of a big man later, he had to push off this role, so as not to get into trouble, and then I had no choice. ”

"Who?" Lin Youlun squeezed out the word from between his teeth, and his eyes became cold and translucent, as if he could see through people's souls.

In fact, Zhu Yanping didn't say it, Lin Youlun had already guessed a rough idea of this matter, which could make Zhang Yusheng so jealous, and force Zhu Yanping to run to ask for help from him, and the identity of the other party was already about to come out - except for Taiwan's black. Outside of the social power, who has such energy?

Lin Youlun's first suspected target was Wu Dun, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was unlikely, since Wu Dun lent Zhu Yanping to himself, there was no reason to meddle in this matter again.

If it's not Wu Dun, who will it be?

"Yang Dengkui." Zhu Yanping stubbornly said the name of this person.

Lin Youlun suddenly looked puzzled, he only met Yang Dengkui at the Golden Horse Awards the year before last, at that time Yang Dengkui came for Hou Xiaoxian's "City of Sadness", that movie involved sensitive themes in Taiwan, although Yang Youkui was willing to invest in Hou Xiaoxian, but he didn't dare to take this risk, so he asked Lin Youlun to help name the producer of this film.

Lin Youlun didn't have much affection for Yang Dengkui, and agreed to this matter purely because of Hou Xiaoxian.

"City of Sadness" won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival, for which the Taiwan Information Bureau also specially commended Yang Dengkui, who has always been black. The image of Dao has also faded a lot, but he didn't expect that this time, he actually stretched out his hand to the movie invested by Lin Youlun.

Hong Kong Film Circle and Taiwanese Black. Dao Shi has always been good water and does not interfere with river water, but Yang Dengkui has crossed the line by doing this!

"What's going on?" Lin Youlun held back the anger in his heart and asked coldly.

"Does Mr. Lin know that Yang Dengkui has a son named Yang Zongmi?"

Lin Youlun shook his head, not understanding how Yang Dengkui's son had anything to do with this.

"Before Yang Dengkui was arrested for the 'Yiqing Project', I had been filming under him." Zhu Yanping mentioned this past, obviously not particularly pleasant, once coerced him to film. Among the social bigwigs is Yang Dengkui, and Zhu Yanping's popularity is also indirectly killed at the hands of Yang Dengkui.

"Yang Zongmi just turned 20 years old this year, Yang Dengkui intended to support him in the development of the entertainment industry, and then I heard from somewhere that I was looking for Zhang Yusheng to film, so I found someone to threaten Zhang Yusheng and let him not take over the role, and then he personally found me, hoping that his son would play this role."

As soon as Zhu Yanping said Yang Dengkui's purpose, Lin Youlun snorted coldly.

Yang Dengkui's wishful thinking played very well, he knew that "My Sassy Girlfriend" was invested by Lin Youlun, and the heroine was Wang Guxian, and the movie would definitely be a hit when it was made, so he wanted to insert his son into it.

If the actor of this movie is a Hong Kong actor, or the director of this play is not Zhu Yanping, Yang Dengkui may not have such a plan, but he is confident that he can eat Zhang Yusheng and Zhu Yanping, so he will put his hand in.

Yang Dengkui threatened Zhu Yanping not to tell this matter, thinking that he could hide it from the world, but he didn't expect Zhu Yanping to tell this matter in front of Lin Youlun without concealment.

"This role must be played by Zhang Yusheng, there is no negotiation at all!" Lin Youlun said categorically. (To be continued......)
