Although Zhang Yan is usually used to hearing flattery and praise, she has long been immune to some flattering words. However, when I heard Ye Ming praise her for being "elegant and beautiful", and said that she should use a high-end perfume like "Royal Dignity" to complement each other, she still showed a little shy look on her face, glanced at Ye Ming with silky eyes, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ye, you have honey on your lips today, and the words you say are so sweet and beautiful, no wonder that Chu Chu shoddy thing is fascinated by you." Do you just have to be with her and say such sweet words every day? ”

Ye Ming shook his head and said with a smile: "To tell you the truth: I really haven't said anything like this to Chu Chu. If you don't believe me, ask her. When I was with her, I spent most of my time taunting each other and making fun of each other. She always called me a hillbilly and rarely changed my name. Hahaha! ”

Zhang Yan showed a look of envy in her eyes, smashed her mouth, and said: "As the saying goes: beating is kissing, scolding is love!" It seems that you have a deep relationship with Chu Shoddy, and they have reached the point of flirting and scolding. This dead girl, she's been hiding it from me! ”

Ye Ming saw that she had misunderstood, and it was difficult to explain anything, so he had to smile bitterly and rub his palms noncommittally.

While drinking, Ye Ming saw that although Zhang Yan had been smiling, there always seemed to be a faint sadness between her eyebrows, as if she had been thinking about something important, and she looked a little absent-minded. Sometimes, when he raised his glass to toast, she didn't even respond, and it wasn't until he repeated it that she came back to her senses in shock.

Ye Ming remembered that she said that she wanted to invest in making a movie by herself, so she asked: "Miss Zhang, you are now famous, why do you still want to invest in making your own movie?" That's a lot of risk! Besides, with your current acting skills and fame, you shouldn't worry about not being able to get a role as an actor, and the salary should be very considerable! Why would you take that risk? ”

Zhang Yan smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Ye, you are Chu Chu's boyfriend, I won't hide it from you: this showbiz, you should have also heard of it, is a place that hides dirt and dirt and has a bad reputation." You must have also seen the gossip news about me on the Internet and in the news media, where there are all kinds of distorted reports that lack morality and hurt people, and there are even people who say that I relied on the unspoken rules of the director to get to the top in the first place, and there are rumors that I participated in the infamous so-called feast held in a coastal city not long ago, saying that I made millions of dollars in three nights. These rumors, only I know are nonsense, but I have no way to distinguish them. It's good that you ignore things like this, and the more you try to argue, the more it will spread widely, and the more it will hurt you. ”

Ye Ming nodded and said, "That's right. It's just that this is necessarily related to the fact that you want to invest in making movies? ”

"Of course there is a connection. In fact, in the entertainment industry, unspoken rules do exist. Since my debut, I have acted in several movies. Some film directors, investors, and producers just want to take advantage of actresses. If I hadn't stuck to my principles, I guess I would have been diving several times. Because of this, although I starred in several movies that were well received and sold, and the box office was very good, the salary given to me by the investor was not high, and sometimes the salary for acting in a film was not as good as those second-tier actresses or supporting actors. Why? Just because I didn't agree to the unreasonable demands of those investors or directors, they stuck me on the salary and pressed my price. If I didn't accept their price, they threatened to change actors. Therefore, many people think that I acted in a few very popular movies and must have made a lot of money, but in fact, I myself am a dumb person who eats coptis - there are words of suffering! ”

Speaking of this, she glanced at Ye Ming and said, "You now know the reason why I want to invest in making movies by myself!" ”

Ye Ming nodded and said: "I understand a little: do you want to raise funds by yourself, form your own team, be the starring actor yourself, and make a good movie, not only without the coercion and exploitation of those investors and directors, but also use it to create your own career, am I right?" ”

Zhang Yan looked at him appreciatively, nodded and said, "Yes, that's what I thought." At present, I have found a good script, and I have also contacted a director with a relatively positive character and strong ability. In addition, I also pulled a part of the investment. However, the current investment gap is still relatively large. We once made a budget, and it would take 30 million yuan to make this film completely. At present, the investment I have pulled is 10 million yuan, I have 6 million yuan in savings, and the director promised to invest 4 million yuan, which is exactly 20 million yuan, and there is still a difference of 10 million yuan. So, these days I'm going around pulling big bosses to invest. A few days ago, my agent, Ms. He, contacted me with a coal boss in her hometown. Ms. He said: The coal boss admires me very much, and his family is also very rich, and the investment of 10 million yuan is just a drop in the bucket for him. It's just that he made a small request: he asked me to accompany him to have a drink tonight, at Xifeng Restaurant. If tonight had a good drink, he would write a check on the spot. ”

When Ye Ming heard this, he frowned and said, "Miss Zhang, when you say this, how do I feel a little wrong!" Investment is investment, this is a mutually beneficial thing, do you have to accompany him to have a drink? I've heard that many rich people who get rich overnight by mining are of relatively low quality, and they are a bit unkind to the rich. This coal boss made such a request, I'm afraid it's a little ill-intentioned! Of course, this is just a speculation on my part, maybe the boss just admires you, wants to have a few drinks with you, and when they return to their hometown, they have a little bit of capital to show off, and this possibility also exists. ”

Zhang Yan nodded and said, "I'm just like you, I've always had this kind of worry. Because Ms. He told me that the coal boss made it clear that Ms. He could not follow me when I was drinking, I was very suspicious of his motives. The reason why I said that I want you to be at my disposal at any time is because Chu Chu told me: You are not only good at literature, but also have a good martial arts. So, tonight I want you to pretend to be my driver and accompany me to drink. It's just, I don't know how much you drink? ”

Ye Ming laughed and said, "My amount of alcohol is okay, one or two people can handle it." It's just that I'm a little strange: why don't you hire one or two bodyguards for such a big star? I see many female celebrities going out, and they are all bodyguards who open the way, and they are more majestic than national leaders. If you also hired a bodyguard, wouldn't you have to worry about being bullied by someone? ”
