Chapter 13: Gamble with you again

"You can't be a singer or an actor just because you're good-looking." Zuo Mu sighed and said earnestly.

There are many reasons why he doesn't want to introduce the little beauty to Huo Wenxi, the most important one is that he really doesn't want to push people into the fire pit.

Although he himself is now deep in the entertainment industry, there are too many twists and turns in it, don't look at the surface scenery of the star, who knows the crime behind it.

"I sing so well! Don't believe me, I'll sing it to you! Zhou Linglin was a little anxious when she heard Zuo Mu's tone, and ran to the microphone with a red dress.

"Ahem, thank you for attending this ball, and let me dedicate a song to you!"

So the eyes of the guests were drawn to her.

Applause rang out.

Zhou Linglin spoke.

"I have a flower."

"Planted in my heart."

"Waiting to be let go."

β€œβ€¦.”

It's Sister Mei's woman who sings.

Sister Mei's last farewell concert just ended half a month ago, and Zuo Mu knew that the seriously ill superstar would pass away suddenly on New Year's Eve this year.

Although Zuo Mu and Sister Mei have nothing to do in this life, he knows very well that the departure of this beauty has caused an extremely huge blow to the entire Chinese music scene.

With Zhou Linglin's singing, the image in Sister Mei's movie kept coming to his mind.

The surrounding guests were also immersed in her singing.

Zuo Mu saw Huo Wenxi not far away, his eyes shining like a fine light on Zhou Linglin on the stage.

It seems that Huo Wenxi will find her without introducing herself.

After singing the song, the little girl bowed gorgeously in the applause of everyone.

"Well, I'm singing well!" Zhou Linglin raised her eyebrows at him proudly, obviously the little girl was very confident in her singing voice.

Zuo Mu nodded, he didn't understand music, but he felt that Zhou Linglin sang really well.

But good singing skills are only a prerequisite for becoming a singer, and now there is no shortage of people with good singing skills in Xiangjiang, what is lacking is original singers, and what is lacking is singers who can get out of their own way.

That Huang Dacai said that "the Xiangjiang music scene is dead" is not a joke.

A Miyuki Kaneshima feeds most of the Xiangjiang music scene, which is the truest portrayal of Xiangjiang today.

Maybe she can have a place in Xiangjiang with her singing skills, but it is difficult to compete with singer-songwriters like Dong Chou and E God.

Of course, it is impossible for Zuo Mu to talk to the little girl about this now.

"Sounds good!" Zuo Mu praised heartily.

"Isn't that the one that can recommend me to Mani!" Zhou Linglin happily held her hand.

"No introduction, look." Zuo Mu pointed behind the little girl.

Zhou Linglin looked back and saw that Huo Wenxi was already walking towards them with forty-two inches of long legs.

"Hello Miss Zhou, I am Huo Wenxi, Director of the Artist Management Department of Emperor Entertainment Group, you can call me Mani, I don't know if Miss Zhou is interested in being a singer."

Huo Wenxi showed a professional smile and handed a business card to the sluggish Zhou Linglin.

The little girl was stunned by the sudden surprise for a while, and took the business card blankly.

"I... I.. I do! ”

Zhou Linglin shook her head up and down excitedly.

"Uh... Should you discuss it with Grandpa Zhou first? Zuo Mu was a little speechless.

He felt that the little girl was a little too innocent.

Zhou Linglin also came back to her senses when she heard this, biting her lip as if she was making a very difficult decision.

"Director Zuo still cares about Miss Zhou." Huo Wenxi laughed.

I have to say that Zhou Linglin's singing skills still amazed her, the little girl not only has good singing skills, but also looks very beautiful, and she is very interested in her Huo Wenxi's appetite, and she is a good seedling to be an idol singer.

"I don't think Miss Huo should be happy too early, Sir Zhou doesn't seem to like Miss Zhou to enter the entertainment industry very much."

Zuo Mu glanced at Huo Wenxi and didn't explain too much.

"Hmph, I can do my own thing! Sister Mani, I'm joining Emperor! ”

I don't know if Zuo Mu's words stimulated Zhou Linglin, the little girl glanced at Huo Wenxi and said sweetly.

Zuo Mu didn't care about the stall hand.

Although the Zuo family and the Zhou family can be said to be world friends, he and Zhou Linglin are not too familiar, since everyone has decided, he will not say anything, at most let Huo Wenxi take care of the little girl more.

"Sister Mani, can I see E God, Ting Feng, Twins!" Zhou Linglin held Huo Wenxi's hand excitedly.

Looking at the two people who were talking happily, Zuo Mu was not easy to disturb, and walked to the balcony to blow the evening breeze, enjoying a rare quiet time.

Then, the phone rang out at an inopportune time.

"Old Zou, you still called me so late, is there any news from AmΓ©rica?"

"There's news, but it's bad news." Zou Wenhuai's voice came.

"Lionsgate has decided to invest $1.2 million in Wen Ziren to shoot "Saw", and filming will officially start in January next year.

Zuo Mu "sighed" in his heart.

It's not just bad news, it's bad news.

The return on investment of this film is nearly 5,000%, and he must win it.

"Old Zou, can you help me contact the top management of Lionsgate, I want to talk to them." Zuo Mu said in a deep voice.

In fact, until now, Zou Wenhuai doesn't know why Zuo Mu is so obsessed with this low-budget horror film.

Although he also watched that few minutes of demo, it was indeed a good thriller, but it didn't seem necessary to bother with it.

"Wood, you're so optimistic about it?"

"This film will definitely shake the whole world." Zuo Mu said affirmatively.

How scary is the Saw series?

In the previous life, the entire series of "Saw Horror" won nearly nine billion dollars at the global box office.

Although Lionsgate had two box office bombs before the Saw series, "America Psycho" and "Fahrenheit 911".

But what really made Lionsgate a second-tier Hollywood studio was the "Saw Horror" series.

There was nearly a minute of silence on the other end of the line.

"Actually, someone from Lionsgate contacted me the other day."

Zuo Mu was stunned and said: "The overseas broadcast rights of "Horror Cruise"? ”

"Yes, Lionsgate offered $8 million, but I turned it down."

Zuo Mu smiled bitterly.

He has memories of his previous life, so he knows that "Horror Cruise" can't even be called a younger brother in front of "Chainsaw", but he Zou Wenhuai doesn't know.

Zou Wenhuai only knows that "Horror Cruise" is now the "Light of Xiangjiang" and a trump card of Golden Harvest.

"Old Zou..."Zuo Mu just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Zou Wenhuai.

"Wood, since you have confidence, I will gamble with you again."

The moment he heard this, Zuo Mu had mixed feelings in his heart.

"Trust me Zou Lao, "Horror Cruise" will definitely not disappoint you."

The phone hangs up.

Zuo Mu only felt comfortable.

In his previous life, Lionsgate actually didn't pay much attention to "Saw Horror", but simply felt that this film was good, and it was also in line with their company's positioning.

In this life, compared to the already successful "Horror Cruise" and the uncertain future of "Chainsaw", he believes that Lionsgate should make the "right" choice.
