Just after five o'clock, Liang Zijin and Li Da came to the Great Wall Hotel again, and the waiter on duty at the main station was still the waiter just now, and when she saw Liang Zijin and Li Da walking in, she immediately said with a smile on her face: "Director Liang, you are here!" Mr. Zuo, they haven't come back yet, you can wait for them in the rest area. ”

Liang Zijin smiled and said, "Thank you!" Then he and Li Da walked to the sand near the glass curtain wall and sat down, sitting here to see the scenery outside the hotel, if Zuojiang and they came back, they could see them for the first time.

At half past five, an elongated Lincoln car stopped on the steps in front of the door, and as soon as the door opened, Zuo Jiang, Li Biyu and George's family walked down one after another. When Lincoln just stopped, Liang Zijin and Li Da didn't have any special reaction, after all, it was normal to see this kind of top-level car in a five-star hotel, but when they saw Zuo Jiang coming down from the inside, their expressions were different, and they looked at Zuo Jiang in surprise, and their mouths couldn't close a little.

It wasn't until Zuo Jiang walked into the hotel that Liang Zijin and Li Da reacted, and Li Da pulled Liang Zijin and chased after him quickly: "Mr. Zuo, please stay!" ”

Someone shouted Mr. Zuo Jiang didn't realize that he was shouting himself, he was very unfamiliar with the title of Mr. Zuo, but he was so close to him and he still subconsciously looked back, and saw Liang Zijin and Li Da with an expectant look, seeing them Zuo Jiang was stunned for a moment, and immediately remembered who he was, and his heart suddenly became excited, but there was no expression on his face as if he didn't know each other: "Both." Are you calling me? ”

Liang Zijin also took care of Zuo Jiangdi's expression, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Mr. Zuo, my name is Liang Zijin, and I am the director of the upcoming movie "Eternal Red Face". It's the one who went up to the revolving restaurant on the top floor to eat at the table next to you the other day! ”

Zuo Jiang slapped his forehead and suddenly said, "It's Director Liang, hello, hello!" He shook hands warmly with him. Liang Zijin saw Zuo Jiang looking at Li Da, so he introduced: "This is Li Da, the screenwriter of "Red Face Through the Ages", and he is also my good friend!" ”

Zuo Jiang stretched out his hand and shook Li Da and said, "Screenwriter Li, hello!" ”

Liang Zijin said: "Mr. Zuo, that day you said that you liked the movie we were about to shoot. If we are interested, you can cooperate with us, we are here today to talk to you about this matter, you look ......" said and looked at Zuo Jiang.

As soon as Zuo Jiang stopped to talk to Liang Zijin and Li Da, Li Biyu and George's family, as well as the tour guide Jia Xiaoqian's driver Lao Zhou, all stopped to look at them, Zuo Jiang said to Liang Zijin: "Director Liang, let's go upstairs and talk!" He made a gesture of please, and walked towards the elevator.

When Liang Zijin heard that Zuo Jiang invited him upstairs to talk, he couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in his heart, secretly thinking that there was a door to this matter! As soon as he pulled Li Da, he followed. There was no one in the elevator. The 9 people were quite spacious, and it didn't take long to reach the first floor. After entering the room, Zuo Jiang asked Jia Xiaoqian and the driver Lao Zhou to sit in the big living room first, asked Li Biyu to greet them, and then took Liang Zijin and Li Da into the small living room of his room.

Zuo Jiang made a cup of tea for Liang Zijin and Li Da and said, "Director Liang, screenwriter Li, you sit here for a while, I will go and talk to the tour guide and the driver about some things first, and I will be back soon." ”

Liang Zijin said: "Okay. Mr. Zuo, you are busy with your land first, we are not in a hurry! ”

Zuo Jiang said with a smile: "Director Liang, I think you still call me Zuo Jiang, I am not called old by your Mr. Zuo and Mr. Zuo at such a young age!" ”

"Oh!" Liang Zijin nodded and said, "Okay, I'll call you Zuojiang in the future!" ”

George's family went back to the room to take a shower, and Li Biyu was left in the large living room to accompany Jia Xiaoqian and the driver Lao Zhou to talk. Zuo Jiang walked over and sat on the sand opposite them and said, "Miss Jia, Master Zhou, thank you very much for the excellent service you have provided us in the past five days, we will go back to Songjiang tomorrow, and we will leave you here today to express our gratitude and have a meal together in the evening." ”

Jia Xiaoqian hurriedly said: "No, no, this is our job, and it is what we should do." Besides, our hotel has rules. We are not allowed to accept guests, gifts and banquets, and we appreciate your kindness. You can't afford to watch us make mistakes! Due to Zuo Jiang's special explanation, Jia Xiaoqian's address to Zuo Jiang in the past few days has changed from Mr. Zuo to Zuo Jiang.

Lao Zhou also chimed in and said, "Yes! Oh, yes! ”

The rules are dead, but people are alive, Zuo Jiang knows the rules here, some tour guides say no, if you don't show that they are not satisfied, and the guests received by the Great Wall Hotel are more special, guests give them gifts or banquets, they will generally refuse, but if the guests are sincere, they will not refuse, and Zuo Jiang really wants to thank them for the five days of service that make people feel very comfortable.

Zuo Jiang thought of this and smiled slightly and said: "I have already considered this for the two of you, I did not order a meal at the Great Wall Hotel tonight, but at Quanjude, and we will eat roast duck in a while!" ”

Seeing that Zuo Jiang really wanted to invite them sincerely, and he was so thoughtful for them, Jia Xiaoqian glanced at Lao Zhou, and when she saw that Lao Zhou was moved, she said: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, Zuo Jiang, thank you!" ”

Zuo Jiangyi waved his hand and said, "Miss Jia, you're welcome!" As he spoke, he stood up and took out 400 yuan from his hand on the corner cabinet on the side, put 200 yuan on the coffee table in front of Jia Xiaoqian and Lao Zhou, and said, "Miss Jia, Master Zhou, a little heart, not a respect, please accept it!" ”

Jia Xiaoqian thought that Zuo Jiang would not tip her again after inviting her to dinner with Lao Zhou, but she didn't expect Zuo Jiang not only to give, but also to give 200 yuan per person, which can be her salary for half a month! In the past, when I took over the group, I often received some tips, generally 30, 2 places, the most one was 50 yuan, she wanted it very much, but she didn't want to take it, and hurriedly excused herself and said don't want it, but the voice sounded empty, and she didn't have any confidence at all. Lao Zhou, as a driver, had much less chance of getting a tip than the tour guide, and he was at a loss for a while in the face of the 200 yuan that fell from the sky, and hurriedly excused himself.

On the one hand, it was sincerely giving, and on the other hand, it was a resignation that wanted to refuse to return, and the result could be imagined, Jia Xiaoqian and Lao Zhou really "excused" it, so they accepted it half-pushed.

Zuo Jiang saw that the matter here was done, and said to them: "Miss Jia, Master Zhou, you take a rest here first, and I still have to talk to Director Liang about some things over there, so I will be absent!" ”

Jia Xiaoqian and Lao Zhou hurriedly said: "You are busy, you are busy, don't worry about us!" ”

As soon as Zuo Jiang walked into the small living room, Liang Zijin and Li Da subconsciously stood up, Zuo Jiang waved his hand to sit down, and then said: "Director Liang and screenwriter Li, what do you think about cooperating in the filming of the movie "Eternal Red Face"? ”

Liang Zijin saw that Zuo Jiang was so refreshing and went directly to the topic, and he was very temperamental, and his nervousness suddenly decreased a lot, and he spoke very directly: "Zuo Jiang, we talked to Zhang Fatzi that day, I think you also heard some of it, our film was not included in the shooting plan because of the shortage of funds in the factory, we can only raise our own funds to shoot, if you can invest us 5 million yuan, we can shoot this movie, the income of the film company after the screening, in addition to returning your investment, we can give you 30% of the net profit Divide it! ”

Speaking of this, Liang Zijin paused for a moment, swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and finally said: "I can't guarantee that this movie will make money, but I can promise that you will never lose money, if you agree, you can mention any conditions, as long as we can accept it, I will promise you!" ”

Zuo Jiang was very excited when he saw Liang Zijin being so straightforward, knowing that he was now with no way out, and it could be said that it was a desperate gamble. In Zuo Jiang's memory, the movie "Eternal Red Face" was released in 90, and it will be released next year at the latest, which means that this movie is two years ahead of history, maybe they have not been able to find funds to drag it out until 90 years.

After the filming of "Eternal Red Face", it participated in the Berlin International Film Festival and won three nominations for Best Foreign Language Film, Best Actress and Best Screenplay, and finally although it only won the Best Foreign Language Film Award, it was also a very sensational event in the Chinese film industry at that time.

Zuo Jiang thought of this and said to Liang Zijin: "Director Liang, money is not a problem, but I have two requirements, one is that this movie must be made into a high-quality product, and the other is that the heroine must be designated by me!" ”

Li Da was afraid that Liang Zijin would refuse to export again, so he hurriedly picked up and said: "Zuo Jiang, with the quality of my script and Zijin's artistic attainments, there is absolutely no problem in making this film into a high-quality product, but 5 million yuan can only barely make a movie, the quality is relatively low, and you need at least 6.5 million yuan to make it into a high-quality product!" ”

Zuo Jiang said to Li Da without blinking his eyes: "Screenwriter Li, I just said that money is not a problem, as long as you can shoot high-quality products, I can invest 6.5 million or even 7 million for you!" ”

"Ahh Liang Zijin and Li Da screamed at the same time when they heard this, Liang Zijin swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and finally compromised and said: "I agree to your two conditions, but, but, the image of the heroine can't be too outrageous!" ”
