"What's the situation?"

Sima Jie clicked on one, looked at the little girl sitting in Lin Xiaozhi's arms in the front row, tilted his head and whispered to Zhu Zhishan, who was sitting next to him. Next to the two, Gao Sen, who was sitting straight, twitched the corners of his mouth, as if he wanted to laugh, but he had some scruples

The corners of Zhu Zhishan's mouth twitched, and he smiled bitterly and pouted in front of him, but he just shook his head and didn't speak.

Sima Jie was just about to ask again, but Lin Xiaozhi, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, said unhappily: "I said if you can make a few voices quieter, but you can hear it clearly in front."

He said unhappily, glanced down at the little girl who was squeezed in his arms, and who had quieted down for a while, sighed and said, "Anyway, let's go back to the hotel."

There is no way to explain this in the taxi, when he asked the little girl's family before, the little girl was reluctant to say where her family was, where she lived, her contact number and address. was in a hurry when he asked, the little girl almost ran away, but Lin Xiaozhi grabbed her quickly, lowered his head and threatened to send her to the police station if he ran away, so he quieted down and didn't speak.

Now, it stumped him. This little girl speaks fluent Chinese, looks at the hair color and eye pupils, and should be a native of Taiwan. According to his guess, it is very likely that the little girl he met ran out by herself, and she may have had some awkward trouble with her family and was unwilling to go back. He wanted to contact the local police station or send him back in person, but the little girl did not cooperate, and when she heard him ask about the situation at home, she kept her mouth shut and said nothing, but she was an alert little ghost. There was no way, I couldn't watch her run away and continue to wander after she and the others left, so I could only take her back to the hotel and find a way to contact her home.

got out of the car and returned to the hotel, Gao Sen and Sima Jie, who had been running for a day and sweaty, went back to their rooms to prepare to take a shower and come over, Zhu Zhishan was sent by Lin Xiaozhi to call Ke Shouliang and asked him to come over and ask him about the situation of the scholar company. As soon as the people were gone, only Lin Xiaozhi and the unknown little girl were left in the whole room for a while.

Lin Xiaozhi went to the bathroom and came out, and saw the little girl sitting on the sofa and turned on the TV by herself, and watched TV there, looking calm and calm, not at all like a runaway child, not worse than some adults, and a sense of stability that was not worse than some adults, which instantly made him feel a strong even feeling. Like, really like, this little girl is really in line with the image of Martha, the little heroine in "Killer Leon", in his mind.

In the amazement, Lin Xiaozhi threw some strange thoughts out of his head, took two bottles of Coca-Cola from the refrigerator, sat down next to the little girl, handed over one of the cans, opened one of the cans himself, poured half of it in one gulp, and felt the pleasure of the carbonic acid rushing to his head, he rubbed his head lightly and asked, "Little sister, what's your last name?" How old is this year? ”

After communicating with the little girl before, he also had some experience. As long as you don't ask her family and contact information, she will most likely reply, which is a bit polite

"Uncle, don't call me little sister, I will celebrate my 14th birthday in March."

Lin Xiaozhi looked at her in surprise for a while, and he really couldn't tell that she was 14 years old, but it also explained why she looked more stable than half of the children. Lin Xiaozhi shook the drink in his hand, "Okay, if I don't call you little sister, then what should I call you?" ”

"My name is Ajuan" She seemed a little wary and did not report her name: "You can call me Ajuan"

She opened the drink and took a sip, sticking out her tongue cutely, as if she was a little unaccustomed to carbonated drinks. Lin Xiaozhi was amused, and when he saw the dirty things on her face, he pointed to the bathroom behind her, "There are a lot of dirty things on your face, isn't it uncomfortable?" Shall we go over there and wash up? ”

"Hmm," she twisted, "and may I take a shower here?" ”

Lin Xiaozhi was stunned for a moment, just now he secretly praised this little girl in his heart for being more stable and not afraid of life, but now he was a little worried, how could this girl be taken home by a stranger without any vigilance, it would be okay to meet a kind-hearted person, in case she really wants to meet a trafficker or psychopath......

He shook his head in his heart, but he froze for a few seconds in the face of those big watery eyes, and then he nodded, and then saw the little girl's "Hooray", cheered, put the Coke bottle that he had only drunk to the side, said "Uncle is so good", and went to the bathroom.

The door to the bathroom had just been closed, and there was a knock at the door of Lin Xiaozhi's room.

He didn't have much interest in the TV series in Taiwan, so when he heard a knock on the door, he simply closed it, drank his drink, walked over and opened the door.

"Mr. Lin ......"

As soon as the door opened, Lin Xiaozhi saw Zhu Zhishan standing at the door, and there were a few people standing with him.

"Ha Luha, Lin Sheng. The last time you said goodbye at the celebration of New Asia, we haven't seen each other in a while."

A hearty laugh came from behind Zhu Zhishan, Lin Xiaozhi's eyes bulged and he was taken aback, why do you say? It turned out that the person who greeted him with a smile was not someone else, but Deng Guangrong, the boss of Ying Zhijie, who had accepted Zheng Zeshi's invitation and participated in the celebration party of New Asia's "Color is Empty".

Lin Xiaozhi and Deng Guangrong are not very familiar with each other, in fact, at the last celebration of "Color is Empty", the two met for the first time and only talked for a while before they found excuses to leave, and they could only be regarded as friends, and they had no friendship.

In Hong Kong, the three giants monopolized most of the Hong Kong box office, leaving only a small piece for the remaining one or two hundred film companies in Hong Kong to compete for, and the fierce competition was irreparable. New Asia and Ying Zhijie are both rated as the 'five small powers' by the Hong Kong film industry, and they are the five film companies second only to the big three in terms of scale and potential, and the competition between them is inevitable. At the end of last year, New Asia's "Can't Help It" also played with Ying Zhijie's "Ghost Mansion" for a while

"Boss Deng?"

Lin Xiaozhi glanced at him in some surprise, and then looked at Ke Shouliang again, and a very handsome and attractive middle-aged man next to him. I saw the middle-aged man smile and nod at him, "Hello, Mr. Lin"

The Cantonese he uses is also standard.

"Accident, indeed accident, I didn't expect to see you in Taiwan. Brother Xiaohei, Boss Deng, and this gentleman, hurry up, please come in and sit down

"Hehe, then we'll bother"

The group followed into his room, Zhu Zhishan came in behind the most man, deliberately slowed down, and when several people walked in, he whispered to him: "Mr. Lin, I just called Mr. Ke, but I didn't expect him to be in our hotel at the time." It turned out that the big guy he said was Deng Guangrong, the owner of Ying Zhijie Film Company, and he lived in the same hotel as us. That man is Cai Songlin, the owner of the scholar company, and it seems that Cai Songlin is here to talk to Deng Guangrong about film distribution

With him saying this, Lin Xiaozhi nodded slowly, and he already had a number in his heart.

The two of them didn't delay, they walked a few steps quickly and quickly entered the room, Lin Xiaozhi beckoned a few people to sit down, and heard Ke Shouliang say with a smile: "Don't be surprised Lin Sheng, I made the decision to help you book a room in this hotel yesterday." Hehe, my big guy was also arranged here by me."

He explained to Lin Xiaozhi that Ke Shouliang was admitted to the movie star school in his early years, and he has been working as a drama manager at the bottom for many years. In 75, he participated in the Taiwan motorcycle obstacle race and won the championship, and was accepted by Deng Guangrong as his team at a glance. In 77, Deng Guangrong made millions of dollars in Taiwan and wanted to go back to Hong Kong to work hard, and it happened that there was a wealthy film giant in Taiwan who also intended to operate Taiwanese capital to make movies in Hong Kong, which was more active, and the two hit it off and reached a cooperation, and Deng Guangrong also brought Ke Shouliang to the Hong Kong film circle.

Over the years, Ke Shouliang has always followed Deng Guangrong, he is extremely righteous, so people have always called Deng Guangrong 'big man,'.

Needless to say, looking at Deng Guangrong and Cai Songlin, who seem to have an extremely tacit relationship, Lin Xiaozhi finally knew who the Taiwanese boss behind Ying Zhijie was.

"I heard Xiao Hei say that Mr. Lin came to Taiwan this time to prepare to sell the Taiwanese distribution rights of "Color is Empty", right?"

To Lin Xiaozhi's surprise, Cai Songlin was an extremely gentle man. He had some scruples about this man before, after all, in the past few years, the reputation of Taiwanese capital in the Hong Kong film industry has been stinked by the hundreds of bad movies they have invested and filmed, and they have won the infamy of 'Taiwan's rotten bananas'. The preconceived concept made him feel a little uncomfortable in front of Cai Songlin's demeanor.

"Yes" The other party already knew that they were coming to Taiwan to sell flowers, and Lin Xiaozhi had no intention of hiding it.

Cai Songlin and Deng Guangrong glanced at each other, smiled slightly, and said, "Mr. Lin, you Xinya have always been cooperating with Li Guoxing's Meiya before. In fact, I had the idea of becoming a partner with New Asia before, but Meiya took the lead and became your Taiwanese publisher of New Asia long before we scholars, which has to be said to be a bit regrettable. Last year, you Xinya released three films in Taiwan. "Maoshan Taoist Fighting Zombies" was represented by Princess Jin, and their cinema strength was not good, so it was released in cooperation with Central, and only sold more than 1 million Taiwan dollars. "I'm Crazy for Qing" represented by Meiya has a good reputation in Taiwan, and I remember that it should be a box office of 240,000 Taiwan dollars. "Can't Help It" seems to have sold more than 20 million yuan, and many publishers in Taiwan are interested in New Asia, including scholars

He praised Lin Xiaozhi and Xinya with one mouth, not to mention other young people, even if it was half an old Jianghu like Lin Xiaozhi, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise, it can be seen that Cai Songlin is very good at being a man.

But before he could say a few words of modesty, Deng Guangrong next to him opened his mouth: "Taiwan's filmmakers, I, Deng Guangrong, only admire Boss Cai." The scholar company wants to make a movie, but Taiwan is congenitally bad, Boss Cai, you export hundreds of millions of dollars to Hong Kong every year to make movies, and take them back to Taiwan to boost the local market. If you want me to say that not only millions of viewers in Taiwan have to thank Boss Cai, but Hong Kong, if there is no Boss Cai's funds, at least dozens or hundreds of movies will have to be reduced every year."

Listening to this singing and harmony, Lin Xiaozhi narrowed his eyes. He is not a stupid person, the stupid people in the entertainment industry have become a stepping stone for others and have been stepped on. As soon as his head turned, Xixi tasted the meaning of the words of the two, and immediately understood what the purpose of the cooperation between the two of them was singing and harmonizing.

Not enough to understand the abacus of the two, he didn't break this little trick, and cooperated to say below, I wanted to see what kind of calculations this uninvited, visiting scholar company boss had in his heart.

"Before cooperating with Meiya, Boss Li offered us a good price. However, businessmen are very profitable, and although we also hope to maintain the cooperative relationship with Meiya, if the other party has been buying our movies at the previous price, then we can only find another partner."

He stared at Cai Songlin closely, seeing that the warm smile on his face remained unchanged, and he couldn't see any thoughts in his heart, so he continued with a little disappointment: "So, Xinya is now in Taiwan, we come with sincerity, and we want to contact an ally in Taiwan who can cooperate for a long time, and everyone can make money."

"Okay" It seems that the other party has already understood the meaning of their coming over this time, Cai Songlin turned a thought in his heart, clapped his palms lightly and praised it, not ready to continue to go around in circles, "Mr. Lin is so rich that everyone earns, it seems that now we scholars are also on the same line with other Taiwanese publishers." So let's do it, let me talk about a price first. 4 million Hong Kong dollars, we scholars bought out the exclusive distribution rights of "Color is Empty" in Taiwan; For 1 million Hong Kong dollars, the scholar is willing to bid out the rights to the Taiwanese videotape of "Color is Empty", which is the price of selling separately. Mr. Lin, my principle has always been that everyone makes money, if you Meiya give us the right to distribute "Color is Empty" to our scholars, package and sell it to us, at a fixed price of 5.5 million Hong Kong dollars, Mr. Lin just nods, and we will sign the contract tomorrow. ”

5.5 million Hong Kong dollars, which is more than half of the total price of Meiya's buyout of the Southeast Asian distribution rights of "Color is Empty" and the publication of Taiwanese videotapes, and more than the best price for this trip to Taiwan in his heart.

Lin Xiaozhi's eyes flickered, and Cai Songlin was not in a hurry, he lit a cigarette for himself, this handsome man who was called 'Taiwan Qin Xianglin' by the media was very confident, he waved his hand: "Today I believe that Mr. Lin should have contacted many Taiwanese publishers, and I believe that looking at the whole of Taiwan, there is no second publisher who can give a price that exceeds this figure." ”

None of them can give a price close to half of the scholar's, Lin Xiaozhi thought for a while, couldn't think of any reason not to cooperate with the scholar, and finally nodded heavily: "Boss Cai is a cheerful person, but he takes good care of us Xinya." 5.5 million is 5.5 million, happy cooperation"

He stood up and stretched out his hand, Cai Songlin smiled and extinguished most of the remaining smoke, stood up and shook hands with satisfaction, "Happy cooperation"

As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden knock on the door from the bathroom, and then a childish voice came: "Uncle, can you help me get a bath towel, my clothes are dirty"
