Chapter 128: Huayu is pressurized
When Zhou Jingtian returned home, Zhou Jingrun was sitting on the sofa waiting for him, Zhou's mother was accompanying her husband in the hospital, her husband's health has been getting worse and worse recently, his biggest wish is to hope that the children will get married and start a family, but the boss has never talked to other women since he broke off the marriage contract with Ji Tongxia, and now the youngest son has reunited with the actress, what a mess.
Zhou Jingtian said hello to his eldest brother and wanted to go upstairs to rest, but was stopped by Zhou Jingrun: "I said that you are not allowed to associate with those female artists, why don't you listen?" ”
Zhou Jingtian loosened his tie, sat opposite the eldest brother, and asked: "Since I am not allowed to date female artists, what is the reason why the eldest brother has been raising an actress for so many years when he has Tongxia?" ”
"You!" Zhou Jingrun glared at Zhou Jingtian, his younger brother has been a little introverted and weak since he was a child, so he was so protective of him, but he didn't expect that one day he would also expose his scars.
"Brother has the kung fu to take care of my business, so it's better to solve his life's affairs. I was tired from the previous day's work, so I went up to sleep first! After speaking, Zhou Jingtian didn't go back to the upstairs.
Zhou Jingrun watched his back gradually disappear into the corner, and his face under the light became more resolute and cold. He didn't believe that his brother, who had always been well-behaved, would suddenly have such a big change, someone must have taught him to do it behind his back, and the person behind it ...... Huang Jialin or Xu Heyan?
Duan Lei suddenly received a call from Huayu, Huayu temporarily withdrew "Waves", Duan Lei was really anxious and sweaty, Huayu is the largest investor in "Waves", once the withdrawal is made, the crew will face a gap of 200 million funds, how can we find investors who are willing to invest and invest a huge amount in a short time. And the lack of money means that the entire crew is about to stop filming, so the funds invested in the early stage will not be returned, Huayu is rich and wealthy, but Hongyi and Dongying care very much, in addition to capital investment, there is also personnel investment.
Hou Yue also called Duan Lei to discuss countermeasures, and he was very dissatisfied with Huayu's approach during the conversation, but at the same time, he also had some complaints about Hongyi, and he did not deal with the love affairs of his artists in time. Now who doesn't know that Hongyi's Huang Jialin is in love with Zhou Jingrun's younger brother, and it is also a love that Zhou Jingrun strongly opposes, and Huayu's sudden withdrawal is aimed at Huang Jialin.
Huayu used his strong financial strength to force Hongyi and Huang Jialin to give up this relationship, although Duan Lei felt that it was dirty and shameful to use this method, but he was the owner of the money, so Duan Lei planned to temporarily separate Huang Jialin and Zhou Jingtian. It happened that Huang Jialin returned to the company after the end of the new play, and finally really stood at the center of the storm of public opinion, but she was not afraid at all, and even had great courage for the first time to maintain their relationship with Zhou Jingtian.
Duan Lei saw that he couldn't move her, so he ruthlessly pushed away all her itinerary, and the film and television dramas that he originally intended to sign were also given to others, in line with the principle that fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, Duan Lei gave all Huang Jialin's resources to Hong Yu, Hong Yu didn't expect that he would actually get benefits in this matter. Xu Heyan is also happy for Hong Yu, and she took over Huang Jialin's two TV series, which she liked very much at the beginning.
Now that Huang Jialin has no job, she lives her own life at home peacefully, Zhou Jingtian still often goes in and out of her residence, Huang Jialin will post some photos of her own food on Weibo from time to time, but without exception they are double bowls and chopsticks, which obviously shows her attitude, even if she is blocked, she will be with Zhou Jingtian.
Soon, Huang Jialin was really banned, there was no drama to shoot, commercial performances and advertisements were banned, and even the TV series that was about to be starred was suddenly replaced, making those manufacturers and producers who cooperated with her complain, but they dared not speak out, so they could only swallow this dumb loss. Huang Jialin was a little embarrassed about this, and returned part of the money to them, but fortunately, she has been filming all these years and has saved a lot of money, and her parents have also saved a lot of dowry for themselves, so she is not tight on money.
A month has passed, although Zhou Jingtian has been stiff with his brother, but because there is no progress, the news of Zhou Huang's relationship has gradually sunk into the rapidly changing information, Xu Heyan has been watching coldly, this time Zhou Jingtian and Huang Jialin's expression Xiàn surprised her a little, she guessed that these two people were estimated to last a week at most, but she didn't expect it to last so long.
Duan Lei is about to go crazy, "Waves" stopped filming for half a month, because the funds have not been in place! Hou Yue discussed with Duan Lei whether to suspend the plan of this movie first, otherwise if it was stopped like this, the loss would be even greater! Chen Meiru also contacted many companies to ask them to invest, but Huayu's name is there, who dares to buy it!
This month, Hongyi was tense up and down, and even Xu Heyan was sent out by Duan Lei to find investment, at first she thought of crowdfunding, but the amount was too large, not only is it difficult to achieve it by crowdfunding alone, but the cycle is also very long, which is not realistic. For this reason, she is also at a loss, people in the industry dare not invest, she doesn't know much of the local tyrants outside the circle, and it is extremely difficult to move them.
On this day, Xu Heyan went to attend the He family's dinner. The He family has the same red background as the Zhou family, but it is a little different from the Zhou family, the He family is now in business, and the scale of assets is huge, which is slightly better than the Zhou family, so Xu Heyan's goal is this family, especially He Qingzhi, the current head of the He family, who is less than 40 years old and has a very elegant temperament. Xu Heyan chose him because his wife used to be an actress, and now the family is happy and happy. What's more, the He family and the Zhou family are also world friends, if the He family invests in "Waves", Xu Heyan doesn't believe that Zhou Jingrun would dare to turn his face with He Qingzhi!
It was with this idea made up her mind that Xu Heyan temporarily asked Ji Qianyi to come out of the crew and accompany her to this banquet. The Ji family and the He family don't have a deep relationship, but Ji Tongxia and Jennifer are good friends, and Jennifer is He Qingzhi's only sister, so He Qingzhi has more respect for the Ji family.
Ji Qianyi admired Zhou Jingtian's actions, and his second brother, who had been in the bag for more than 30 years, finally remembered that there were still words "resistance" and "freedom" in this world, and of course he was even more unpleasant to Zhou Jingrun's behavior of being so unapproachable and unemotional.
Xu Heyan took Ji Qianyi's arm and planned to say hello to He Qingzhi and his family, but unexpectedly, Ji Tongxia also appeared at the door with Su Yun in her arms, and Jennifer immediately ran over to chat with them, making Xu Heyan's footsteps pause, and she turned to walk in the direction of Ji Tongxia.
Ji Tongxia couldn't help but show a knowing smile when she saw Xu Heyan holding her younger brother, Xu Heyan didn't hide it, but naturally nodded at her, everyone - knows.
Ji Tongxia has a heart to introduce: "This is Xu Heyan, my brother's agent." This is Jennifer, my classmate from middle school! ”
Jennifer quickly looked at Xu Heyan, and said to Ji Tongxia with a smile: "I know this Miss Xu, Xu Heyuan told me that she has a capable and beautiful sister, and this time it was really the case." ”
Xu Heyan was overjoyed, she didn't know that her sister had a good relationship with Jennifer, so she smiled even better: "I didn't expect Miss Jennifer to know my sister, that's really a coincidence." And I've worked with your magazine before! ”
Ji Tongxia took Xu Heyan's hand and said to Jennifer: "This is a wonderful person!" My parents treat her as goddaughters! ”
Jennifer looked at Xu Heyan thoughtfully: "Actually, Miss Xu is also fully qualified to be a graphic model, are you interested in joining our "Muse"?" ”
Ji Tongxia gently pushed Jennifer and said with a smile: "The work is stunned, the corners of the wall are dug to my brother!" She is my brother's agent. ”
"It's a pity to be an agent!" Jennifer said in a very regretful tone, causing everyone to laugh.
However, soon the laughter was forced to stop, and Zhou Jingrun also came, and he came alone. Although Ji Tongxia did not shy away from meeting him on such occasions, it was undeniable that he was not in a good mood as soon as he appeared, because he always felt that his eyes were chasing him, and he was very uncomfortable.
Of course, Zhou Jingrun was even more unhappy when he saw Ji Tongxia and Su Yun together, he never felt that separating from Ji Tongxia was the end of the relationship, he still loved Ji Tongxia, so he didn't like that there were other men around her.
Jennifer saw that everyone was suddenly a little embarrassed and a little cold, so he took the initiative to say hello to Zhou Jingrun: "I'm a busy man, but I finally see you again, my brother said that you will come today, I don't believe it yet!" ”
Zhou Jingrun's eyes swept over the group of people one by one, and when he saw Ji Tongxia tilting his head to the other side, he couldn't help but feel a little dim, but he still smiled and said to Jennifer: "Brother He's good day, how can I be absent!" ”
Jennifer looked at Ji Tongxia and Su Yun, and stepped forward to hold Zhou Jingrun's arm: "My brother is over there, I'll take you there!" ”
Zhou Jingrun glanced at Ji Tongxia again, and then said, "Thank you!" Then he followed Jennifer and left.
After Zhou Jingrun left, Ji Tongxia said to Xu Heyan: "He is here today, I guess there is no hope for you." ”
Xu Heyan smiled helplessly: "Even if he is not here, my success is not great." The He family has not been involved in film and television, and it is impossible for me to suddenly spend so much money on a movie, which is my wishful thinking. ”
Ji Qianyi frowned, it was the first time he heard Xu Heyan say such depressed words, no matter how difficult it was in the past, she was full of confidence. Su Yun didn't speak, hundreds of millions of funds did exist for him and the Ji family, but it was impossible to turn around for a movie, after all, the company still needed cash flow to operate normally. So this time, he and Ji Tongxia couldn't help.
No matter what, Xu Heyan still has to give it a try. It's just that in front of her, in addition to Zhou Jingrun, there is also Jennifer. Xu Heyan originally took a fancy to He Qingzhi that there was no one else around him, and wanted to go over to explore with him, but he was stopped by Jennifer just a few steps, and the two walked side by side in the garden.
"It's for the sake of your sister and Tongxia that I stopped you from reminding you, don't want to get investment in my brother's movie, it's impossible." Jennifer said quickly.
"Why?" Xu Heyan was puzzled.
"Don't look at my sister-in-law, who is also from the entertainment industry, but she is different from Huang Jialin. When my sister-in-law was a newcomer, she was taken by my brother, and the dramas she acted in were clear and watery, and my sister-in-law didn't even kiss as the heroine, and then she stopped after marrying my brother, why do you think that! So from the bottom of my bones, my brother and Zhou Jingrun are the same kind of people, do you think you have to talk about this kind of person? Jennifer looked at her with a straight face, and added meaningfully: "To be able to achieve this status at your age shows that you are a smart person, and smart people must not do stupid things!" ”
"Thanks for the reminder!" After Xu Heyan finished speaking, Jennifer left, she crossed her arms and shoulders, it was really cold in the spring evening, but she didn't want to go back to the banquet hall, although Duan Lei would not blame her for not getting He Qingzhi's investment, but Xu Heyan felt uncomfortable, seeing Duan Lei sad like that but unable to help him.
