Chapter 239. The canopy is closed
"Okay, don't be stunned anymore. Tell me, what's the other thing? Chen Xuanting reminded Ma Weihao, who was still in a daze.
"Oh yes, when you talk about this, I suddenly remembered that there is a director named Chen Kaige in the mainland, who wants to invite our Leslie Cheung to shoot a "Farewell My Concubine", but there is a lack of funds, I hope we can-"
Chen Xuanting's eyes lit up, "What did you say?" "Farewell My Concubine"?! ”
Ma Weihao was surprised by Chen Xuanting's surprise and said, "Yes, what's wrong?" ”
Chen Xuanting laughed and said, "Promise him!" Ask for money for money, ask for people to give to people! But there is one condition, this drama must be included in our Thunder Pictures, and we have full authority to produce and shoot it! Got it?! ”
Ma Weihao: "I understand - but is it necessary? ”
Chen Xuanting smiled mysteriously: "It's not that it's unnecessary, but it's very necessary!" ”
Of course, Ma Weihao will not understand what Chen Xuanting has planned.
Coughed and said, "That-I'm going to try to get it done." ”
Chen Xuanting: "Is there any other problem?" ”
Ma Weihao put together his information and said, "The rest is nothing......
Chen Xuanting nodded, "Then you can go out and get busy!" ”
When Ma Weihao was about to turn around, he suddenly said, "I'm sorry, there's one more thing I don't know whether to say or not-"
Chen Xuanting was stunned: "Is it the company's business?" ”
Ma Weihao shook his head: "It's a matter of the sky!" ”
Chen Xuanting: "Tianmu? Andy: What's wrong? ”
Ma Weihao sighed and said: "Recently, Andy's Tianmu Company has filmed a few dramas, but unfortunately they have lost money, and even Andy's own savings have been lost~!" ”
Chen Xuanting was stunned, "Such a big thing." Why didn't he say a word to me? ”
Ma Weihao: "He probably doesn't want to trouble you." ”
Chen Xuanting was silent, as Andy Lau's friend, he knew Andy Lau's surname very well, and he would rather give in.
In his previous life, Andy Lau owed a large amount of debt because of the failure of investing in Tianmu, but Andy Lau was not discouraged, but sold himself to film, and it took three years of filming to pay off hundreds of millions of arrears.
Now that the events of his previous life are repeating themselves again, according to his surname, he will definitely face and solve it by himself, and he will not ask for his own help.
Ma Weihao: "Ting, do you want me to contact him for you?" ”
Chen Xuanting shook his head, "No, I'll go find him in person." ”
Ma Weihao nodded. Turn around and leave.
Chen Xuanting suddenly called out to him, "Ah Hao, can you tell me what love is?" ”
Ma Weihao paused for a moment and said, "Maybe it's just -- I'm sorry, I don't know." ”
Such a simple question, for many people, really don't know.
Chen Xuanting nodded, "Okay, let's go." ”
Ma Weihao turned and left.
Chen Xuanting was lying in a chair, smoking a cigarette, and the smoke was filled.
…………… Hong Kong Sky Canopy Film Company.
Andy Lau slumped in his chair. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you would never believe that the thirty-year-old man with a stubble in front of you was the suave Andy on the big screen!
During this time, Andy didn't know how he survived. At the beginning, the development of Tianmu was quite smooth, although he filmed a few films, he didn't lose much money, and he also earned the title of supporting rookie movie bosses. But immediately, Andy Lau found that such a title could not be eaten. More and more young people are chasing after them and asking themselves to give them opportunities, and more and more literary films hope that they can be filmed.
Andy Lau was quite cautious at first, but his heart was too soft, and gradually, Tianmu's investment direction became a little difficult to collect. All three plays in a row lost money. Andy Lau was a little anxious, he saw that Chen Xuanting's thunder was developing faster and faster, but his canopy was in a quagmire. At this time, he was like a person who lost in a casino, and wanted to speed up to catch up with Chen Xuanting. So he formulated an investment plan for five dramas in a row. I hope that through this investment, I can get back the last loss. It's a pity that he doesn't have Chen Xuanting's sharp "front and back eyes", and he doesn't have Chen Xuanting's detailed plan for the dynasty. These scenes completely pulled him into the water and put the canopy in his hand in life and death.
The creditor forced the door to collect the debt, if it weren't for the fact that Andy is a celebrity in the film and television industry, those actors who were filming were embarrassed to ask him about the salary he was going to owe in arrears, Andy Lau didn't know how to get through it.
Seeing that Tianmu couldn't go on, several big bosses in Taiwan were interested in buying Tianmu, just waiting for Andy Lau to nod and agree.
In his previous life, Andy Lau finally sold the company out in 94 for this reason, and after owing a lot of debts, he sold himself to pay off the debts, and worked hard for several years!
Jingle bells! Jingle bells!
The phone on the desk rang.
Andy Lau doesn't need to pick it up to know that it must be those who collect debts. He was already a little numb to such a call.
In a materialistic society like Hong Kong, relationships between people seem to be based only on money. When you are proud, everyone is your good brother and buddy, and when you are in trouble, no one knows anyone about the blow.
Taking a deep breath, Andy Lau still reached out and picked up the phone, for him, there are some things in this world that cannot be escaped, it is better to face him and solve them.
"Hello-" Andy Lau picked up the phone.
The other end of the phone is indeed his biggest creditor. However, the creditor's tone of voice at the moment was pleasant, and he was not as vicious as before.
"Andy, I'm really sorry, I didn't expect you to have such a great ability, the money you owe me has been repaid, I just want to say, the previous things were all in business, I am also forced to do so, I hope you don't have any mustard in your heart, in the future, we will cooperate again!"
Andy Lau was stunned, "What did you say?" Still on? ”
Creditor: "Hehe, Andy, you really know how to act, don't you know?" Everyone knows the relationship between you and Chen Xuanting and Boss Chen, there is no reason why he shouldn't help you, look, now it's a shot, isn't it?! ”
Andy Lau: "Chen Xuanting? You mean he helped me pay off my debt? ”
Creditor: "Hey, yes, don't you really know?" ”
Andy Lau couldn't listen to the latter words anymore.
Before Andy Lau came to his senses, the phones rang one after another, and basically those creditors called to apologize. If you don't apologize, you can't do it, look at it, who is the person who helped Andy Lau repay his debts? Chen Xuanting! Hong Kong's No. 1 person, more awesome than the Governor of Hong Kong, and even more awesome than Li Ka-shing! If you don't want to mess around, just offend him!
At this moment, Andy Lau understood that he had never wanted Chen Xuanting to know about it, but he still knew.
Andy Lau was about to beckon himself to come in as a secretary, but the secretary knocked on the door and walked in first, she said, "Andy, Mr. Chen Xuanting is looking for you!" The secretary's eyes were visibly excited and happy. In the past few days, he has suffered a crime as Andy Lau's secretary.
Many debt collectors can't find Andy Lau and use her to operate, making her a mess. Of course she knows Chen Xuanting, you must know that Chen Xuanting was one of the bosses of Tianmu in the past, if he hadn't parted ways with Andy Lau halfway, maybe the current Tianmu and the current self would be a different scene. Compared with the people who followed Chen Xuanting when he left the canopy before, this secretary felt that he had really chosen the wrong person to assist. However, Andy people are very good and treat people very kindly, which makes her a little comforted.
"Why did he come?" Andy Lau was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that he must have come for what happened just now.
Before Andy Lau got up, the door of the office had been pushed open, and Chen Xuanting quietly stood in front of Andy Lau with his hands behind his back and a familiar smile on his face.
Chen Xuanting looked at Andy Lau, and Andy Lau also looked at Chen Xuanting.
Chen Xuanting said: "Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing happening in the sky? ”
Andy Lau said: "When did you come back?" Aren't you in the book? ”
Chen Xuanting said: "Don't divert the topic. Tell me why? Don't you think of me as a friend? ”
Andy Lau sat down stupidly and said, "I can solve this matter, you don't need to interfere!" ”
Seeing that Andy Lau was still so stubborn at this time, Chen Xuanting laughed angrily, "You are still the same, you don't listen to persuasion at all!" ”
Andy Lau: "Don't you be the same, you always love to be blind!" ”
Chen Xuanting: "Look at your beard, you're so anxious!" ”
Andy Lau touched it, "This is enough to have a surname, I am willing!" ”
Chen Xuanting: "You are a boiled duck - with a hard mouth!" ”
Andy Lau: "I, I-you're here to quarrel with me?" ”
Chen Xuanting: "Of course not, I'm looking for you to drink!" ”
The two looked at each other and burst out laughing.
The female secretary originally watched them-for-tat, with harsh words, and was inevitably worried; But immediately they all laughed again, and they were even more surprised, are they all insane?!
…………… Chen Xuanting and Andy Lau didn't go to any bars or hotels, they directly asked for a few bottles of whiskey in the office of Tianmu Company, opened them, and did not use whiskey glasses, but directly mouth-to-mouth, and the two of them blew a bottle and started talking.
"To tell you the truth, I didn't think about asking you for help - but I can't get my face off. When you and I parted ways, I swore that I would take care of the Tianmu Company, but now, it has been like this in less than two years! Andy Lau took a sip of wine depressedly.
"Hehe, why do you still say that? Am I the kind of person who likes to see my friends in distress and gloat? Andy, you can't get enough of me! Chen Xuanting also took a sip of wine.
"Besides, the canopy also has memories of my struggle, and I won't let it collapse like this!"
Andy Lau sighed and said: "It's a pity that you can't help for a while, unless, if you are willing to buy Tianmu and merge it into your Thunder Group, maybe it can come back to life!" ”
"What? Spend it on you - are you willing to do it? Chen Xuanting said in surprise.
"Why are you reluctant? I can see it, I am not the material to be a boss, I have been a boss in the film industry for so long, and my only achievement is to sell my reputation and mix the name of an auxiliary newcomer, hehe, but I buried myself in the soil! Andy Lau smiled sadly.
"Are you really willing to let me swallow the canopy?"
"At least in your hands, I won't feel too cowardly, besides, the canopy is also your hard work, you will take care of it a little!"
Chen Xuanting smiled, "You're calculating me!" You know I'm not going to swallow it, and as you say, it's my brain! ”
Andy Lau smiled: "What should I do then?" Who's going to run it? Don't look at me, I can't do it! ”
Chen Xuanting: "Then you should work hard and be an honorary director of this company!" ”
Andy Lau was stunned: "What do you mean?" ”
Chen Xuanting said with a smile: "I plan to set up Tianmu Company as a base for cultivating new film talents, and create an Asian new star director program!" ”
Andy Lau: "Asian Rising Star Guide? ”
Chen Xuanting: "Yes, specifically, the company pays to support those new directors and gives them a certain amount of money to try to shoot their own style of films. ”
In fact, Chen Xuanting's new star guide plan comes completely from the new star guide plan advocated by Andy Lau in his previous life. It can be said that Andy Lau's support for Asian directors has always been obvious to all. In his previous life, with his support, mainland director Ning Hao relied on the funds he gave to shoot a good film like "Crazy Stone". With a small and large investment, only two or three million investments, but it has gained a box office of five or sixty million. It is known as a legend in Chinese films.
At this time, Andy Lau, under Chen Xuanting's explanation, understood who this so-called "new star guide" was. He slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, Ah Ting!" Your plan is fantastic! I can't believe you'd have such a mind! ”
Chen Xuanting: "Hehe, do you think that a philistine like me would not do such a loss-making business?" ”
Andy Lau sneered: "Hehe, there is a little bit. ”
Chen Xuanting: "You guy, I knew you were counting me behind my back!" ”
Andy Lau said wrongly: "No, I have always admired you!" ”
Chen Xuanting: "I admire your size-" His eyes rolled, "In this way, in order to punish you, I have to write a script, and you must stand up and play the starring role for me!" ”
Andy Lau was stunned: "What did you say?" You're going to help me write the script? "I was surprised.
You must know that Chen Xuanting basically didn't help people write scripts much after becoming a billionaire, and the company was still too busy with a lot of things, how could he have the time to help people write this. But now he said he would write it for himself...... Andy Lau is not a fool, he immediately understood what Chen Xuanting meant, and said gratefully: "Ah Ting, I really don't know what to say!" I know you're helping me, and I know how to thank you—"
Chen Xuanting: "Thank you, thank you?" If you really want to thank you, you can rely on the script I wrote to get an actor! ”
Andy Lau: "Actor? It seems a little difficult, but you don't know that I'm going the idol route! ”
Chen Xuanting smiled mysteriously: "Not soon-as soon as my script comes out-"
Seeing Chen Xuanting smiling so "silverly", Andy Lau couldn't help but wonder, what kind of script can this hand of God write? !
I'm looking forward to it!
