Returning to Donghai City from Wanwan, Ma Lie spent a day with his family before starting to work the next day.

Less than five minutes after coming to the office, the secretary Tang Ningya knocked on the door and came in to report, saying that Gu Shaotang, chairman of Tiansi Film and Television Group, had visited.

"Call him in."

Ma Lie replied, but secretly thought in his heart: "It seems that Gu Shaotang is very anxious, what could it be?" ”

After a while, Tang Ningya led Gu Shaotang in, and then served him tea before leaving.

As soon as Tang Ningya closed the door, Ma Lie immediately said: "What's the matter, let's talk about it quickly, I don't have time to spend it with you." ”

Gu Shaotang snorted, glared at Ma Lie angrily, and said hatefully: "You are really insidious, you dug Fan Bingbing's Bichi away from me, and deliberately let her argue with Yang Mi to slander us......"

Ma Lie unceremoniously interrupted Gu Shaotang's words, and said coldly: "I have already said it just now, say something quickly, don't talk nonsense." ”

Seeing Ma Lie's tough attitude, Gu Shaotang was furious, but because he had a plan, he could only suppress his anger and said: "I lost the Jiale Group to you last time, because you insidiously poached Fan Bingbing's Bichi, I don't accept it!" If you have one, we'll take another gamble! ”

Ma Lie's eyes lit up, and he said calmly: "How do you want to bet?" ”

Gu Shaotang said: "Just like last time, we still each invest in making a movie, and the one with the highest box office wins!" ”

"What about the bets?" Ma Lie asked again.

Gu Shaotang threw a piece of information he brought on the table in front of Ma Lie and said, "I want to use the ownership of these properties to bet on your Tianma Group and the controlling stake in Jiale Film and Television Group that you won in the past." ”

"What a big deal!"

Ma Lie sighed, but to Gu Shaotang's surprise, he didn't look at the information he gave, but laughed meaningfully.

Gu Shaotang secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, and he used the agitation method and said, "What's the matter, I didn't plant it this time?" ”

Ma Lie said lightly: "I have a kind or not, it's not up to you to decide." However, I really don't have much interest in your bet. As you know, I already have Tianma Group, as well as the Jiale Film and Television Group that I won from you, and my career is big enough, just integrating the two groups is a lot of busy things. ”

Hearing Ma Lie's words, Gu Shaotang couldn't help but be stunned. Ma Lie has always given him the impression of moving forward bravely and not afraid of challenges, but this time Ma Lie actually retreated, which made Gu Shaotang a little uncomfortable.

"Could it be that this stinky boy knows that I have the trump card of Qin Yan? Damn, it must be Fan Bingbing's Na Bichi who sued him. ”

When Gu Shaotang thought of this, he couldn't wait to dig up Fan Bingbing's ancestral grave.

At this moment, Ma Lie said: "If the bet is changed to what I want, I would like to gamble with you again!" ”

Gu Shaotang was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "What do you want?" ”

"Your Gu family's part of the Ziyuan Divine Skill!" Ma Lie said slowly.

"It can't be."

Gu Shaotang didn't think about it, and refused. Although the part of their Gu family's Ziyuan Divine Skill, cultivated to a certain level, will lead to delirium, but after all, it is a treasure passed down from generation to generation by their ancestors, and it is impossible to take it out for gambling.

In addition, they also have the dream of collecting all six parts of the Purple Yuan Divine Skill! If this dream comes true, there is a chance to achieve the ascension of the sun and the immortal immortality!

Ma Lie rolled his eyes and said: "Ziyuan Divine Skill is cultivated alone, and there are very strict sequelae, with the emergence of various powerful weapons now, Kung Fu is becoming more and more useless, I estimate that there must be fewer and fewer people who are willing to risk delirium to cultivate." ”

As soon as these words came out, Gu Shaotang couldn't help frowning, because Ma Lie's words were right, with the emergence and popularization of various powerful weapons with great lethality, the enthusiasm of their Gu family's children to practice was indeed much worse than before.

Because, if you cultivate well, you may become a delirious neurosis. It's not good to practice, as long as the enemy brings a gun, he can still finish playing, so it's better to practice marksmanship himself.

Seeing Gu Shaotang's expression change, Ma Lie was secretly happy in his heart, and continued: "Your part of the Purple Yuan Divine Skill, the cultivation value will become smaller and smaller. ”

Gu Shaotang snorted coldly and said, "Then we can't use it to bet with you, it's our ancestral treasure." ”

Ma Lie sneered and said, "You don't want to take it out, it's because you still have a dream of taking the Ziyuan Divine Skill **, right?" ”

Gu Shaotang didn't answer, taking it as a default.

Ma Lie said slowly: "For so many years, your six major families have been fighting for each other, and you are still one family. Next, do you think this will change? Hmph, forget it. ”

Hearing this, Gu Shaotang's heart shook a little. He had fantasized many times that he would combine the six parts of the Purple Yuan Divine Skill into one, and then become an immortal immortal. However, if you think about it rationally, it is indeed too difficult and too difficult to realize this dream, because the six major families all regard their part of the Purple Yuan Divine Skill as more important than anything else, and it is almost impossible to grab all six of them.

"Anyway, with Qin Yan's help in this gamble, it's almost a sure win......"

Thinking of Qin Yan's trump card bargaining chip, Gu Shaotang was even more shaken in his heart. He pondered for a moment and said, "I'm betting on the global box office, not the domestic box office." ”

"Global box office?"

Ma Lie was stunned, his mind was racing fast, and he quickly thought of Qin Yan, and then understood what tricks Gu Shaotang wanted to play!

Ma Lie thought about it for a while and said, "Yes, but I have a few conditions. ”

Gu Shaotang said: "The bet is our family's Ziyuan Divine Skill, I want to go back and think about it." However, you can talk about your conditions first. ”

Ma Lie said slowly: "First, my bet is only on Jiale Film and Television Group, not including Tianma Group, I think Jiale Film and Television Group is already equivalent to your Gu family's part of Ziyuan Divine Skill." ”

Gu Shaotang couldn't help but say, "We ......"

Ma Lie coldly interrupted him and said, "Listen to me!" Second, you have to address the issue of mutual trust, and I don't want to see that sort of thing happening after the fact. Thirdly, there is the issue of trust, but this is about the box office, and you have to provide a trustworthy plan for statistics, monitoring, and verification. In the end, that's my last bottom line, no longer accepting bargains. ”

Gu Shaotang originally wanted to argue and get better conditions, but when he heard Ma Lie's last words, he could only give up.

In desperation, Gu Shaotang could only leave: "I'll go back and think about it." ”

"Okay, feel free to let me know when you've thought it through." Ma Lie smiled and waved his hand to make a gesture of please.

Gu Shaotang got up and left, his brows furrowed. He originally planned well, but he didn't expect that Ma Lie didn't follow his plan at all, but pushed him into a dilemma......

After Gu Shaotang left, Ma Lie let out a long breath and said, "It's a pity that it's not the Gu family and it's not Gu Shaotang's business, otherwise this gamble will definitely be successful." Now, I can only hope that the old guys of the Lu family think that they have won, so they are willing to take out that part of the Ziyuan Divine Skill as a bet. ”

After a few more minutes, Ma Lie calmed down from the huge temptation of Ziyuan Divine Skill, and then after some analysis, he found that his chances of winning were actually very small.

"The Road of the Female Stock God" was popular before it was filmed, but it was an unprecedented success in China, with a box office of more than 4.2 billion, which not only set a record, but also threw the second place away by almost one billion.

However, the overseas box office of "The Road of the Female Stock God" is less than 700 million. Among them, this is thanks to the appeal of Keiko Kitagawa in the Waguo market, otherwise there would not be so much.

What makes Ma Lie even more depressed is that the box office of "The Road of the Female Stock God" is already the best overseas box office for domestic films, and it is much, much better than the second place.

"Western culture really still occupies the mainstream of the world, no wonder there are so many domestic movies with a box office of two or three billion, and only a few hundred thousand or millions of box office overseas."

Ma Lie sighed bitterly, and finally understood why Stephen Luna advised him many times that the next movie should use some Western big stars with box office appeal to participate.

"Qin Yan's X organization can make Fan Bingbing an Oscar-winning actress, so it is not impossible to invest in a movie for Gu Shaotang to make an Oscar-winning actor and actress as the male and female protagonists respectively! In comparison, even if I take out the trump card of Emma Watson, I don't think it will be enough to see ......."

The more Ma Lie analyzed, the more he felt that the situation was unfavorable to him. However, he did not regret the gamble just now, but was secretly happy.

Because, the bigger the Gu family's chance of winning, the greater the chance that they would be willing to take out the Ziyuan Divine Skill as a bet. As for the situation being unfavorable to him, Ma Lie was not very worried. He still has time, he has to force himself to use his brains more, think of more ways, and strive to create a miracle.

After all, in addition to Emma Watson's trump card, he also has the big killer trick of spiritualism to improve his acting skills. As long as he plans well, he is not without a chance to win.

Thinking of this, Ma Lie pressed the intercom on the table and instructed the secretary Tang Ningya: "Let Zhang Guoyi send me a sample of the script of "Survival on a Dangerous Island" immediately. ”

"Got it, Mr. Ma, I'll notify Advisor Zhang immediately." Tang Ningya replied.

"Survival on the Dangerous Island" is the second film that Ma Lie plans to make, and the project has been set up before he goes to the bend. Among them, Zhang Guoyi is responsible for contacting the screenwriters and asking them to write the script during this time.

The film "Survival on the Dangerous Island" will tell the story of Ma Lie, Emma Watson, Keiko Kitagawa and Li Bingbing after the crash, struggling to survive on the Alto Road Island, where there are many poisonous insects and beasts. Because Ma Lie and the three beautiful stars have discussed a story synopsis together, and then handed it over to the screenwriters, Ma Lie feels that during this time, those screenwriters should have almost made the script.

After a few minutes, Zhang Guoyi sent five script samples, and Ma Lie read them one by one, and the results all shook his head and smiled bitterly.

He was not satisfied with all five script samples
