Chapter 354: A Misunderstanding [One Update]
Lin Youlun and Tang Jili sat down side by side in front of the bar, and the three tall bodyguards stood by the side, with expressions on their faces that no one should approach.
"Brandy or whiskey?"
Lin Youlun said that Tang Jili couldn't get used to the two kinds of high-altitude wine, "Just give me a glass of beer." ”
Lin Youlun nodded and said to the bartender in front of him, "Two beers." ”
The bartender quickly took out two fist-sized tempered cups and put them in front of Lin Youlun and Tang Jili, poured them full of wine, made a gesture of please, and turned to greet other guests.
Lin Youlun picked up the wine glass that was still foaming at the mouth, took a shallow sip, and then asked, "Have you watched all those videotapes?" ”
Tang Jili picked up the wine glass and didn't drink it, but when he heard Lin Youlun ask, he put the wine glass down again, "Mr. Lin is really going to find that mainland actor named Chen Hong to be the heroine?" ”
Lin Youlun turned around, faced Tang Jili and asked, "Do you think she is inappropriate?" ”
"No, it's just a little curious."
Tang Jili was somewhat insincere when he said this, so he had to drink to avoid Lin Youlun's sight.
From the moment he was confirmed to be the director of "Myth", "Ancient and Modern Wars of Qin Warriors" has become a stone in Tang Jili's heart.
Cheng Xiaodong directed "Ancient and Modern Wars of the Qin Warriors", the heroine is Wang Guxian, who is popular in Hong Kong and Taiwan, Japan and South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand with the female ghost Xiaoqian, and is well-deserved as the first popular actress in Hong Kong, and the male protagonist is played by Lin Youlun himself...... On the other hand, looking at the cast of "Myth", the male protagonist is a boy who is not famous at all, and the heroine is still studying at the drama school, which can be seen from the cast alone. The film is both in terms of attention and the various available resources. There will be a big difference.
Sometimes Tang Jili can't even help but think about it. Lin Youlun's investment in the movie "Myth", will it be specifically for "Ancient and Modern Wars of the Qin Warriors" as a foil?
Of course, at the same time, Tang Jili also constantly comforted himself, it was already very good to have a movie, no matter how much Lin Youlun didn't pay attention to this movie, it was always a movie produced under his name, and he casually invested one or two hundred million, which was enough for Tang Jili to wake up with a smile in his dreams.
If Lin Youlun knew that Tang Jili had such thoughts, he would definitely scold Tang Jili for being unproductive. One or two million may be able to make a very good action adventure movie, but it will definitely not be able to make the kind of visual blockbuster that Lin Youlun envisioned.
This time, in order to shoot "Myth", Lin Youlun prepared at least 100 million Hong Kong dollars.
Lin Youlun's words thundered in Tang Jili's eardrums, and all the noise around him was automatically isolated by him, and there was only one thought in his mind, Lin Youlun wasn't joking with himself, right?
Seeing that Tang Jili's mouth was round in shock, like a fish sucking water, Lin Youlun picked up his wine glass and said with a smile: "I thought you would toast with me when you heard the news." ”
Tang Jili hurriedly picked up the wine glass. After clinking glasses, he didn't say anything, and drank all the wine in his glass.
Lin Youlun didn't have much wine left in his cup. He threw his head up and drank it all, put down his glass, knocked on the bar, and motioned for the bartender to come and refill the wine.
When two glasses of yellow, orange and orange foaming beer were placed in front of the two of them again, Lin Youlun finally spoke: "I will leave Hong Kong tomorrow and go north, and it may not be convenient to contact me at that time, so if there are any questions, it is best to say them all now." ”
Tang Jili hadn't completely recovered from the shock of the 100 million investment, and suddenly heard Lin Youlun say this, and subconsciously asked: "The investment in "Ancient and Modern Wars of the Qin Warriors" is also 100 million? ”
Lin Youlun looked at Tang Jili thoughtfully.
"You care about this?"
Tang Jili regretted what he said just now, and at this time, he didn't know how to answer.
"The special effects scenes of "Ancient and Modern Wars of Qin Warriors" should not be as big as "Myth", but it still depends on Cheng Xiaodong's plan, if it is just a simple action-adventure movie, the estimated shooting cost is tens of millions, if some special effects are used, it may be higher, but I think it should not exceed "Myth"."
Lin Youlun's answer surprised Tang Jili, because it was completely reversed from what he had thought before.
"I know that you may be a little worried in your heart, because I am the starring role of "Ancient and Modern Wars of the Qin Warriors", and then this movie will be taken care of, in fact, you are wrong, from the perspective of film investment, my expectations for "Myth" are higher than those of "Ancient and Modern Wars of the Qin Warriors". Lin Youlun looked sideways at Tang Jili, "You may not believe it, but my requirements for the two movies "Ancient and Modern Wars of Qin Warriors" and "Mythology" are indeed different. As long as Cheng Xiaodong plays at a normal level, I will be very satisfied with what he shoots, and on the basis of "Myth", I also hope that the actor of the film can be popular. The actor I told you about named Li Yuanba has better physical fitness than Cheng Long, and he is younger than Cheng Long, it depends on how you tap more potential from him. ”
Lin Youlun did not say the idea of preparing to train Li Yuanba into an action actor who can compete with Cheng Long, because Cheng Long's current success is accumulated by one movie after another in the past, and everything needs to have a process of accumulation. Lin Youlun just wants to set up a threatening opponent for Cheng Long, and he has not yet let Li Yuanba completely replace Cheng Long.
Tang Jili was about to make a statement, but at this moment, there was a quarrel behind him.
Lin Youlun's bodyguard stopped a young man, "Boy, there is still a seat over there, this piece has been covered by our boss!" ”
"Hey, man, don't be kidding, okay, the bar is so big, you say it's chartered? People who have a wallet market go directly to a nightclub, how can they come to this kind of place to show off? The young man looked disdainful.
Lin Youlun and Tang Jili both turned their backs to each other, looking over from this young man's point of view, they only saw two men sitting in front of the bar, and the bar stools next to them were lonely and empty.
Thinking of this, the young man became more and more sure that the other party was just bluffing, pushed away the hand stretched out by the bodyguard to block the way, and was about to rush in.
Seeing this, the other two bodyguards immediately surrounded the young man quietly, and surrounded the young man in a zigzag shape, and one of them directly put his hand into his waist, looking at the action of pulling out a gun.
The young man was slightly stunned, and then realized that he had encountered a hard stubble, and the hero did not suffer the loss in front of him, so he immediately waved his hand and said: "Several, this may be a misunderstanding, I will go somewhere else, so I won't bother you." ”
As he spoke, he stepped back, his eyes glancing in both directions, wondering if there was anything he could pick up as a weapon, and the one who was going to pull out the gun would be overturned first, and the other two would be able to do it with his fists and feet.
I was thinking about how to deal with the three people in front of me, but I bumped into a person in the back defenselessly!
"Decrepit boy, you don't have long eyes when you walk!" The man in the back scolded.
"Say I don't have long eyes, do you have long eyes on the back of your head?" The young man didn't look back, his eyes continued to fix on the three bodyguards opposite.
Before he could find the right moment, an angry shout came from behind him: "Li Yuanba, what kind of plane are you doing?" ”
Hearing someone call out his name, the young man turned his head, and then he was stunned for a moment.
"Uncle Wu, why are you?"
Wu Siyuan lifted his glasses angrily, "I still want to ask you this!" ”
"It's too noisy in the bar, so I ...... just now" Li Yuanba grabbed the back of his head like a child who had done something wrong in front of Wu Siyuan, not knowing how to explain it.
"I asked you to wait for me at the door of the bar, why did you run in alone?"
"I came ten minutes early, and I wanted to come in for a drink."
"Did I call you here to drink?" Wu Siyuan suddenly became angry, "Do you know how important today's meeting is, Mr. Lin and the director of the film are here, you are full of alcohol, what will the other party think?" ”
Li Yuanba didn't dare to talk back, but he was a little unconvinced, if he couldn't drink, why did the other party make an appointment to meet at a bar?
Wu Siyuan took his eyes off Li Yuanba, but collided with Lin Youlun, who turned his head when he heard the quarrel at the bar, and both of them were surprised.
After a short period of stunned, Wu Siyuan immediately walked up to greet Lin Youlun, but before he took two steps, he was stopped by the three bodyguards who had just forced Li Yuanba back.
Li Yuanba was immediately unhappy, pointed at the three bodyguards and said, "Hey, what are you doing blocking the road?" ”
"Can you keep your mouth shut?" Wu Siyuan suddenly turned his head, and his cold eyes flickered so that people didn't dare to look directly.
"Uncle Wu, they ......" Li Yuanba was about to explain, but was stopped by Wu Siyuan: "Enough!" Aren't you ashamed enough? ”
At this time, Lin Youlun had already walked over, and the three bodyguards automatically made way for him, Wu Siyuan no longer paid attention to Li Yuanba, quickly stepped forward, and said in the first sentence: "Mr. Lin, this is a misunderstanding." ”
Lin Youlun smiled and nodded, his gaze crossed Wu Siyuan, and fell on Li Yuanba, who almost clashed with his three bodyguards just now.
Li Yuanba only wore a jacket, probably because he was afraid of the heat in the bar, and the zipper was opened very low, revealing a vest that was tightened by strong muscles, giving people the first impression that he was strong.
Lin Youlun turned his head to look and asked Tang Jili beside him: "How is it, it's not bad for me to find you this actor, right?" ”
Tang Jili looked Li Yuanba up and down, "The personality is a little impulsive, but it seems that he should be very capable of fighting." ”
"This kid dares to do any dangerous action in "Tiger Watch", so you have to take it easy when filming this film, and don't have any accidents." Lin Youlun ostensibly reminded Tang Jili to pay attention to shooting safety, but in fact, he hinted that Tang Jili could take out any difficult action ideas, and this kid could withstand the toss.
Wu Siyuan didn't have a chance to interject just now, but when he heard Lin Youlun say this, he was dumbfounded, Li Yuanba, this kid is stupid, and he can be favored by Lin Youlun like this! (To be continued.) )
