Chapter 8 Except for Marriage

The next morning, Zuo Xiaoyou took Weng Meiling to go around the company. Because the entertainment company has just completed the acquisition, many places are not complete, such as the office building of the head office.

The time you have been here is too short, and many things need time to change slowly. However, it is easy to do things with money in hand, and at present, the Terminators are looking for suitable land, and plan to build an eighteen-story head office building, and then get all the subsidiaries to the head office, and everything is a one-stop service, which is very convenient.

Of course, the training of artists is also indispensable, and Zuo Xiaoyou plans to build a training school that integrates acting, singing, and dancing, so as to absorb the most potential young people in this period and reserve strength for the development of the entertainment industry in the future.

To be honest, big-name artists are nothing remarkable, as long as the talent reserve is sufficient, the company can pick up a bunch of newcomers to replace the big names at any time. For example, South Korea and Japan, their artist reserves are very sufficient, and they can pull up a bunch of idols anytime and anywhere, of course, they are only idols, and powerful artists are still relatively rare.

Because powerful artists need to go through a long period of study and practice, but Korean and Japanese artists are basically assembly line operations, and there are many idols who debut in two or three years, in comparison, Chinese mainland is rich in powerful people, especially those old artists over forty years old, all of whom are powerful people with more than ten years of stage experience.

In reality, after the return of Hong Kong, Hong Kong began to cooperate with mainland actors, and then Andy was shocked by the performance strength of a mainland artist in the crew when he was making a movie, and he was ashamed.

That movie is called "A Mouse Falls in Love with a Cat", and the mainland artist is called Guo Donglin.

Why did Xiangjiang dominate the entertainment industry in the eighties and nineties, but after returning to China, it began to decline, and the successor was weak? The reason is simple, because there are too many powerful people and newcomers to choose from in the mainland, and they are all cheap. In addition, the artist training mechanism in the mainland is becoming more and more systematic, and there are millions of students who apply for art schools every year, and there are too many to choose from.

With such good and large resources to choose from, who would still stare at the land of Xiangjiang? Even in 2018, "Avatar", which ranked first in the historical box office list of Xiangjiang, only had a box office of more than 170 million, but the historical champion of the mainland box office list was the movie cooperated by Bai Coral and Xing Ye, 4.508 billion.

It's too bad, the Yankees are all interested in the box office market in the mainland, and now they are cooperating more and more with mainland actors. is optimistic, it is a 'mainland' actor, not a Hong Kong and Taiwan actor, and the artists in that place are not as good as Xiangjiang!

And now the mainland film market is relatively mature, and fans watch movies to watch good movies, see plots, special effects, and cool. Gone are the days when you relied on a star to make a bad movie and go crazy at the box office.

Xingye's box office appeal is indeed very high, but that is based on the good-looking Xingye's movie, if the movie itself is not good-looking, just because of Xingye, the box office cannot be very high.

For example, in the early days of Xing Ye's films, one of which Xing Ye appeared as a supporting role, and was strangled to death by the villain in the end, that movie was not Xing Ye's style at all, so the box office can be imagined.

Don't talk about the star, let's talk about Jackie Chan, who is guaranteed at the box office, although the box office of the movies he is making now is also good, but it is only good, and no movie in the mainland has exceeded one billion at the box office. Even Jackie Chan's appeal can't break one billion, which shows that mainland fans' demand for movies is good movies, even if there are movies with superstars like Jackie Chan, they don't buy it if they don't look good.

Zuo Xiaoyou understands the future development, so he will not put the film industry on the box office appeal of some film giants, the most important thing for a good movie is actually the script, a good script can make a good movie, without a good script, no matter how wonderful a movie is, it will only be empty and boring.

Either don't do it, or do it and do it to the best. When Zuo Xiaoyou informed Weng Meiling of the company's future development direction, Weng Meiling was shocked: "You want to be the entertainment godfather of Xiangjiang?" ”

Zuo Xiaoyou smiled faintly: "Xiangjiang is too small, how can you pretend to be me." But it's too early to say anything, and the most important thing is to do the things at hand. ”

Zuo Xiaoyou took out a new contract and handed it to Weng Meiling: "You are the first female artist signed by the company, this is a five-year contract, and I plan to push you to the big screen." In the future, you will have at least two high-quality movies as the heroine every year, and the rest depends on your interests, and the company will package you in an all-round way. In my opinion, you are the eternal and unchanging Qiao Huang Rong, very suitable for those quirky characters, and the company's promotion of you will also focus on the 'Qiao Meiling' deck of cards, and you will become the elf of the whole of Xiangjiang and even the whole of Asia. ”

After a pause, Zuo Xiaoyou said: "After signing this contract, you will be the heroine of the company's first film, and the script of this movie is written by me, and it is also the first step for you to sweep the big screen in Asia." ”

After listening to Zuo Xiaoyou's narration, Weng Meiling looked at the contract in her hand, was silent for a moment, and raised her head to look at her: "Why are you so good to me?" I don't believe it's just because ...... last night" Weng Meiling blushed: "And you have been with me all the time, this contract can't be newly printed." ”

The four eyes met, and Zuo Xiaoyou smiled slightly: "I said it!" In my opinion, you are the eternal and unchanging Huang Rong. I fell in love with you from your role two years ago, and then conducted an investigation on you, I didn't expect your personality in reality to be so similar to Huang Rong, but it's a pity that because of my own reasons, I can't marry you into the family, but I like you after all, if possible, I want to raise you as a canary, but you definitely won't accept it, then I can only make you the most popular actress, so that you can be grateful to me, I can't forget my kindness, and occasionally grinding my ears and temples is also very good. ”

After listening to this story, Weng Meiling stayed for a moment and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect you to be so frank." ”

"I don't hide anything from a woman I like." Zuo Xiaoyou said: "Ah Weng, although I can't give you marriage, I can give you everything you want, as long as you give me this opportunity, even if it is a star in the sky, I will pick it up for you." ”

Weng Meiling pursed her lips tightly: "But...... I have a boyfriend. ”

"Playboy." Zuo Xiaoyou said lightly: "A man himself is an animal that thinks with his lower body, there are so many beauties in the entertainment industry, and he himself is so handsome, what woman can't soak it?" And how can you hang yourself alone? So your current situation seems normal to me, and it would not be normal if he could defend you like a jade. ”

Speaking of this, Zuo Xiaoyou looked at her and said lightly: "What's more, we have already had this kind of relationship, to put it mildly, you are not qualified to let him guard you like a jade." ”

Weng Meiling's face suddenly turned pale, and her lips were bloodless.

"Awn." Zuo Xiaoyou said softly: "If you want a stable relationship and a happy marriage, you can't find an insider." There are so many temptations in the entertainment industry, no man will only guard one woman, you must be clear about this. ”

Weng Meiling lay on the desk a little weakly, and her tone was weak: "I'm so tired." ”

"Actually, it's not scary to break up." "I said that except for marriage, I can give you everything you want, including the lifestyle you like." ”

Weng Meiling raised her eyes, her big watery eyes were filled with confusion and longing for the future: "You really give it to me?" ”

"As long as you want it." Left and right nodded.

"That ......" Weng Meiling pursed her lips and said, "I want my own clothing brand." ”

Zuo Xiaoyou was slightly stunned, and then remembered that Weng Meiling studied textile design during college, if she was not an actress, maybe she would go to the fashion industry in the future.

"Okay." Since this is what Weng Meiling wants, Zuo Xiaoyou smiled slightly: "I'll invest in you." ”

Weng Meiling blinked: "Then I can't act for you." ”

"I said it." Zuo Xiaoyou looked at her: "As long as it is what you want, I can give it to you." After a pause, Zuo Xiaoyou said softly: "There are many actresses, but there is only one Aweng." ”

……

In the evening, Tang Zhenye, who had just returned home, received a call from Weng Meiling, and Weng Meiling hung up the phone after only saying one sentence: "Let's break up!" ”

Tang Zhenye stayed for a long time, and immediately called Weng Meiling's home, but the phone was not answered, and finally Tang Zhenye drove straight to Weng Meiling's house, but Weng Meiling's house was dark, and there seemed to be no one at all, which made Tang Zhenye even more worried and very suspicious: It's so late, where did she go?

Tang Zhenye heard yesterday that Weng Meiling's contract was bought by a mysterious company, but he and Weng Meiling were during the Cold War, so they didn't ask too much, but they didn't expect to receive a breakup call from Weng Meiling today.

Although Tang Zhenye and Weng Meiling had a conflict, the two have been together for so long, they must have feelings, and they have deep feelings. And between couples, how can there be less noise? Although Tang Zhenye had a cold war with Weng Meiling, he had no idea of breaking up, and he believed that Weng Meiling definitely didn't want to, but now ......

"Awn! Why did you break up with me? Tang Zhenye was unwilling to let go of his feelings for a few years, so he began to call those friends in Weng Meiling's circle, but without exception, they didn't know where Weng Meiling was now?

Tang Zhenye's heart was even more chaotic.

He would never have thought that he was trying to find a way to save his girlfriend, but at this time he was with another man.

In Repulse Bay Villa, Zuo Xiaoyou, who was barbecuing, looked at Weng Meiling who came out of the living room and asked, "Did you really say that?" ”

"Hmm." Weng Meiling's expression was a little gloomy: "I'm sorry, I'm in a bad mood right now." ”

"Understandable." Zuo Xiaoyou handed her two skewers of barbecue: "Before, I said to a girl: Don't go out, I'll raise you." ”

Weng Meiling took the barbecue and looked at him: "And then?" ”

"Heh......" Zuo Xiaoyou smiled and shook his head: "She said that she was not worthy of me, and she left me the next day." ”

"......" Weng Meiling sighed: "She's so stupid." ”

"I've been sad about this for a long time." Zuo Xiaoyou brushed some sauce on the barbecue with a brush, and said in a low voice: "I even decided not to marry for the rest of my life, because in my heart, she is the only one who can be my wife." ”

raised his head and looked at Weng Meiling: "That's why I told you, I can give you anything, except for marriage." ”

Weng Meiling was stunned, revealing a helpless smile: "She's so stupid, really stupid." ”

"But it's over." Zuo Xiaoyou said: "There are few people who will not be hurt by feelings, but time is the best healing medicine, time flies, when you have a happy enough love, marriage, and then look back at the beginning, the rest is just a smile." ”

There was a pause: "Ah Weng, I investigated you, and before Tang Zhenye, you also had a few boyfriends." ”

Weng Meiling's face suddenly turned red and she rolled her eyes: "I'm beautiful, and there are many people who pursue me, can't I?" ”

"Absolutely." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled faintly: "Since there are so many people pursuing you, why should you give up the lush forest for a crooked neck tree!" The worst thing is that you still have me, a rich man who is waiting to support you at any time. ”

After a pause, Zuo Xiaoyou said seriously: "I can give you four years, before you are thirty years old, as long as you find a new relationship, I will let go." If you still don't have a new relationship after the age of thirty, you give up the insistence of not having an identity and be the woman behind me. How is it? ”

"......" Weng Meiling was silent for a long time, and said, "Give me time to think about it." ”

Zuo Xiaoyou smiled faintly: "Don't worry, I believe in my charm, you will definitely promise me." ”

"Don't be ashamed." Weng Meiling rolled her eyes and took a bite of the barbecue: "Hmm????? It's delicious! ”

Seeing Weng Meiling gobbling up, Zuo Xiaoyou smiled and said, "Now I have more confidence." ”

Weng Meiling snorted lightly, but she couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food, and ate wildly.

After the meal, Weng Meiling, who was satisfied, rested for a while, then frolicked in the pool with Zuo Xiaoyou, and finally fell in love, and came to the pool with a water milk ~ blend.

Zuo Xiaoyou's charm is indeed very great, and the capital is even stronger, which makes Weng Meiling experience unprecedented pleasure, and the shadow of Tang Zhenye in her heart is gradually fading, but Zuo Xiaoyou's shadow is becoming clearer and clearer.

This night, Weng Meiling slept very comfortably, and it was the most restful night in several years.

In fact, since she played the role of Qiao Huang Rong two years ago, causing the effect of thousands of empty alleys, and becoming a popular actress in Xiangjiang in one fell swoop, Weng Meiling's career has gone downhill, and she has not made strong film and television works for two consecutive years, and her popularity has become lower and lower.

Coincidentally, Tang Zhenye's career has also been declining in the past two years, and the reason why the relationship between the two is not in harmony is not only too tempting in the entertainment industry, but also related to the unsatisfactory career. If your career is not going well, you will be impetuous, quarrels are inevitable, and sadness is inevitable. But now, Weng Meiling has seen her future very clearly, so she can finally sleep peacefully.

Tang Zhenye stayed awake all night. (To be continued.) )
