"Director Qin, I haven't thanked you in person."

Tang Wei's arrival made Zhang Mo swallow back the words that came to his mouth, and at the same time he was a little puzzled.

Hearing this, the two not only know each other, but also have kindness?

"Director Zheng thinks it's appropriate, it has nothing to do with me, get in the car."

Qin Muchu said with a smile.

Pull open the door and beckon a few people to get into the car.

Yang Mi rushed into the co-pilot first, and her eyes quickly scanned it, and she breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that there was no paper ball left.

The remaining Zhang Yimou and the three of them also got into the car and sat in the back, with Zhang Mo in the middle, and Qin Muchu and the two of them were just full.

As soon as he got in the car, Tang Wei said:

"I still have to thank you, Director Zheng also told me, if it weren't for your help, he would probably change his role."

"Xiaotang, did you take over the play?"

Zhang Yimou, who heard this, said suddenly.

He and Tang Wei had met before, and when they were just banned a few years ago, Li Yu and Jiang Zhiqiang took Tang Wei to ask him for help.

But helplessly, he has more than enough heart but not enough strength.

"Well, Director Zhang, Director Qin's TV series."

Tang Wei couldn't control the excitement in his eyes when he talked about it now.

When everyone thought she would soar into the sky, she was beaten to the eighteenth floor of hell, and the kind of drop and collapse was too harsh.

"It's good, play it well."

Zhang Yimou said with a smile.

He also thinks that the movie should not be paid for by the actors, and he is still a fledgling young actor.

"Hmm."

Tang Wei nodded heavily.

This is an opportunity that she finally has, she attaches more importance to it than anyone else, and she sleeps with the script every day.

Qin Muchu's car was chatting on this side, and Zhang Weiping's car on the other side was also talking.

Compared to the standard five-seater of the Big G, this car is much more spacious and comfortable.

The back seats are two rows of seats, and there are some champagne wines on the shelves next to the windows.

"You're all young, are you still a student?"

Jiang Zhiqiang asked the two movie protagonists very kindly, there was no shelf or anything.

Although they are unknown now, they have already acted in Zhang Yimou's movie, and they may not be the first line in the future.

It's always good to have a good relationship.

I have briefly introduced my name before, so Dou Xiao said directly:

"Yes, I'm a sophomore in film school."

"Haha, the future is bright."

Jiang Zhiqiang praised and looked at the heroine of the movie again.

In fact, he values this girl even more.

First, the heroine of "Hawthorn Tree" is heavier than the male lead, and if you choose the only protagonist, there is no doubt that she is the heroine.

Second, it's because I've only heard of "Mou Girl", when did there be a "Mou Boy".

"I'm a junior in high school and I'm taking an art exam."

Zhou Dongyu was a little nervous under Jiang Zhiqiang's gaze.

Although she doesn't know who this is, she can talk to Zhang Weiping on an equal footing, and she must be a big man.

Jiang Zhiqiang also saw Zhou Dongyu's nervousness, but he didn't care, it was normal for newcomers to be like this, and they relaxed while chatting.

So he continued to ask:

"Do you want to be admitted to Chinese opera or film school?"

"Try them all, it's best to go to film school, but I'm afraid I won't be able to pass the exam."

"How can it be, to be regarded as the heroine by Director Zhang, which school is rushing to ask for it."

Jiang Zhiqiang smiled and encouraged.

This gesture made Zhou Dongyu's nervousness fade a lot, and he smiled, and just wanted to be modest, but was suddenly interrupted.

"Xiaoyu, Mr. Jiang is right, you must be confident, you are a new generation of Mou girl, and Director Qin is also here today, two more glasses of wine at dinner later, won't it be stable to be admitted to Yanying?"

Zhang Weiping patted Zhou Dongyu's arm.

"Got it, Mr. Zhang, I may have drunk it."

Zhou Dongyu immediately agreed.

Zhang Weiping nodded with satisfaction when he heard this.

In fact, he was dissatisfied with the heroine of this movie at first, and felt that it was much worse than the previous "Mou Girl".

Not beautiful enough, with a ...... figure No figure.

But Lao Mouzi bit it to death and asked this girl to play the heroine, and he had nothing but to agree.

But later getting along made him change his opinion of Zhou Dongyu a lot, and his attitude is positive until now.

This girl is really not good enough than the previous girls, but she has advantages that they don't have.

Sensible, obedient, or so well controlled.

After experiencing Gong Li's rebellion and hatred, Zhang Ziyi's politeness and estrangement, this is what he values most now.

Thinking of this, he looked at Dou Xiao again, the male protagonist of the movie:

"Dou Xiao, you will also toast Director Qin with two glasses of wine later."

But Dou Xiao didn't immediately agree like Zhou Dongyu, but asked:

"Mr. Zhang, didn't you say you don't drink?"

Zhang Weiping's eyebrows wrinkled:

"It's because we don't drink, what do you say if you don't drink?"

"Okay."

Dou Xiao was a little embarrassed, but finally agreed.

But then he added:

"But I'm not drinking much, so I probably won't be able to drink much."

Zhang Weiping is an irritable person, especially this kind of "following offense" that he thinks is even more popular, but because there are outsiders, it is difficult to vent out.

It's just that his gaze turned cold, and he knocked:

"You are the same as Director Qin, but in you, this is called a problem, you have to be cured!"

Dou Xiao, a young man who had never been in contact with society in his sophomore year, was stabbed by these words, and he only felt that his face was red and hot, and he didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, at this time, Jiang Zhiqiang opened his mouth to ease the atmosphere:

"Haha, young man, I understand, I couldn't drink enough when I was his age, and I came out after practicing."

As he spoke, he patted the back of Dou Xiao's hand on his knee again:

"Do what we can for a while, otherwise if we drink too much, we won't be able to lift such a big one, ah, haha."

The young man immediately cast a grateful look:

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang!"

"Hey, thank me for what, I should thank you Mr. Zhang, he is mentioning you."

Although Dou Xiao was a little stunned, he was not a fool, he instantly understood what Jiang Zhiqiang meant, and he was even more grateful in his heart, and at the same time thanked Zhang Weiping:

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang."

This kind of "picked up thanks" Zhang Weiping naturally didn't have a good face, and he didn't say anything after looking at Dou Xiao.

The atmosphere instantly cooled down again.

Jiang Zhiqiang frowned, this Zhang Weiping ......

Suddenly, a mobile phone rang with a "ding dong", breaking the silence.

The middle-aged man who had been sitting next to Jiang Zhiqiang and had not spoken took out his mobile phone, looked at it, and smiled at Jiang Zhiqiang:

"Mr. Jiang, Director Li Yan asked us if we had seen Director Qin, let's call and ask first, he may not be in Yanjing, but on Hong Kong Island."

Jiang Zhiqiang also smiled when he heard this:

"Haha, he definitely didn't expect it to be such a coincidence today, not only did he have to eat together immediately after seeing him."

"yes."

The middle-aged man said replying to text messages on his phone.

The conversation between the two was heard by Zhang Weiping, and he didn't care about putting on a face for Dou Xiao, and asked:

"Do you want to see Director Qin?"

Jiang Zhiqiang nodded:

"Yes, in fact, I came to the mainland this time for a small matter, and he has a project that he wants to cooperate with Director Qin."

This is the first time that Zhang Weiping has faced up to this man who is not tall and looks a little comedy.

"Xiao Xu" smiled:

"Haha, let's get to know Director Zhang again, my name is Xu Chengyi, and I am an animation director and designer."

The reason why he said "again" is because he had already introduced himself when he first met Zhang Weiping today.

But at that time, Zhang Weiping may not have taken it to heart.

He didn't take it to heart either, he had experienced a lot of slighted experiences in the United States, and he had long been used to it.

However, introducing himself again, Jiang Zhiqiang couldn't watch the people he brought being despised, and added:

"Xiao Xu is not an ordinary person, he used to work in DreamWorks, and he served as the animation director and character designer for many Hollywood cartoons, such as "The True Story of Brother Ant", "Batman Forever", and "Shrek" series.

Speaking of this, Zhang Weiping is quite calm, because he has never heard of this string of animated movies, and the name of "DreamWorks" surprised him a little.

But Jiang Zhiqiang's next words made his attitude towards Xu Chengyi change directly.

"There is a spin-off movie of "Kung Fu Panda", which is the director of him."

"Kung Fu Panda"!

Even if Zhang Weiping doesn't watch cartoons, he knows this movie, because it was too popular in 08.

A group of foreigners made a martial arts movie with the national treasure of the Celestial Empire, which swept the whole world.

Even if Xu Chengyi is only the director of derivative movies, it is enough for him to pay attention to it.

……

Hotel.

Led by the waiter, the group walked into the box.

Dou Xiao and Zhou Dongyu fell last, Zhou Dongyu touched Dou Xiao with his arm, and whispered:

"Have you really seen that Director Xu's movie?"

Dou Xiao did not hesitate:

"Of course, I've watched every "Shrek" part."

Seeing that Zhou Dongyu was still suspicious, he said again:

"This series is very popular abroad."

However, Zhou Dongyu seemed to have grasped some loophole:

"How do you know about fire abroad?"

Sample, let's pretend to be stuffed.

If you pat the horse, you will pat the horse, and cover it up.

"I grew up abroad."

Dou Xiao took it for granted, and then patted his head:

"Yes, I didn't tell you, I immigrated to Canada when I was ten years old, and I didn't come back until '08."

Zhou Dongyu's smile stiffened, and he said a little unnaturally:

"It turns out that you are the second generation of the rich, no wonder you dare to be so tough with Mr. Zhang."

"It's not a rich second generation, and the family is not that rich."

Dou Xiao didn't notice Zhou Dongyu's abnormality and scratched his head.

But Zhou Dongyu suddenly pouted:

"The rich second generation is the rich second generation, pretending to be poor, and not borrowing money from you, hey."

After saying that, he quickened his pace and strode forward to chase after him.

Dou Xiao was a little dumbfounded in place.

Did you say something wrong?

Also, am I pretending to be poor?

……

Inside the box.

While waiting for the food, Qin Muchu and the others sat on the resting sofa and chatted.

Qin Muchu looked at the only man he didn't know, and asked Jiang Zhiqiang:

"Mr. Jiang, who is this?"

Jiang Zhiqiang was about to introduce Qin Muchu, but it was just right to hear him ask first:

"This is Xu Chengcheng......"

It's still the same set of introductions as before.

"Hello, Director Xu."

When Qin Muchu heard this, he immediately shook hands with Xu Chengyi.

"Long admiration, long admiration."

Xu Chengyi held it with both hands, very polite.

Jiang Zhiqiang said again:

"Today, Mr. Zhang invited us to dinner, I just wanted to take Xiao Xu and Xiao Tang to visit Yimou, but I didn't expect to meet you, we came to the mainland to find you this time."

"Looking for me?" Qin Muchu was puzzled.

"Well, we want to ......"

Jiang Zhiqiang was about to speak, when the box door opened, and it was the waiter who served the food.

"Let's go, let's talk at the dinner table."

Zhang Weiping greeted.

Because it was booked in advance, there was only one wave of waiters serving food, and after seven or eight people were all on it at once, they walked out and closed the door.

Zhang Weiping stood up and held a cup:

"Today, replace wine with tea and celebrate the gathering of friends!"

Everyone also stood up and toasted together.

In this way, chatting while eating, Zhang Weiping greeted Jiang Zhiqiang and Qin Muchu warmly during the banquet, and even smiled at Yang Mi.

If Yang Mi hadn't known who he was, he would have been treated like this when they first met, maybe he would have really had a good impression of him.

But now, the more enthusiastic Zhang Weiping became, the more vigilant Yang Mi became, and whispered close to Qin Muchu's ear:

"Nothing to do."

Qin Muchu nodded, he knew what kind of person Zhang Weiping was.

Today it is definitely in demand.

didn't expect Zhang Weiping to be like taking the wrong medicine today, not only enthusiastic but also wealthy:

"Brother Jiang, Director Qin, everyone is a family, and it is fate to be able to get together.

I am the most righteous person, I will never treat my friends badly if I have good deeds, I am willing to give up 40% of the share of "Hawthorn Tree", and everyone will earn money together. ”

Qin Muchu was surprised.

Previously, Zhang Weiping gave him only 10 percent, but now it is mentioned that 40 percent, even if he and Jiang Zhiqiang are divided in half, there will be 20 percent.

That's not a small amount.

Zhang Yimou and Jiang Zhiqiang were even more surprised.

Zhang Weiping is so righteous that he has money to earn together, and he is pure and farting.

After so many years of cooperation, when have I ever seen him take the initiative to spit out the fat meat.

Not to mention bringing yourself to make money, it is your own money, it can be delayed.

Is this demon-possessed today?

"Come, celebrate our happy cooperation."

Zhang Weiping said that he was going to settle this matter and raised his glass.

"Mr. Zhang, wait a minute, will it be too urgent, I haven't reacted yet."

Jiang Zhiqiang wanted to slow down, he couldn't figure out what melons were sold in Zhang Weiping's gourd.

But Zhang Weiping seemed to be in a hurry to settle this matter:

"What's the hurry, is Brother Jiang still afraid of losing money? There is a director and a screenwriter of Director Qin, how can this movie be earned, come, let's have a drink! ”

Jiang Zhiqiang always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.

And Zhang Weiping is not wrong about one thing, Zhang Yimou added Qin Muchu, just this gimmick, this movie can't be compensated.

So, he raised his glass in a daze.

Qin Muchu was still hesitating here, he didn't think Zhang Weiping could be so kind.

Suddenly, his arm was touched, and he looked at Yang Mi, who was shaking his head at him slightly, and immediately firmed down, and released the cup with his palm:

"Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry, I've invested all my money in theaters recently, and I can't afford to invest in movies."

This is a half-truth, his money is indeed on the construction of the theater, but he still has tens of millions.

However, Yang Mi hinted to him, although he didn't know the reason, he definitely believed his girlfriend.

Zhang Weiping's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he was a little anxious, and thought about it:

"In this case, I will advance the part of the money you invest, and when you have money, or simply deduct it from the future share, how about it?"

“……”

There was silence in the box.

Everyone stared at Zhang Weiping with wide eyes, and Zhang Yimou was more like he knew him for the first time.

He had a sense of confusion.

It's as if his bad perception of Zhang Weiping during this period of time is fake, he has always been the honest man who called himself "big brother" twenty years ago.

Qin Muchu's lips squirmed, and when he said this, he didn't know how to refuse.

He even had a bold idea.

Ping, have you been taken away?

"Cinema ......"

Fortunately, at this time, a voice as thin as a mosquito and a fly next to him made him re-firm in materialism.

Yang Mi's reminder reminded Qin Muchu of something she said before.

Zhang Weiping offended the theater because of the bombardment of Han Sanye......

Think about Jiang Zhiqiang's ability to distribute overseas, as well as the theaters that he has rolled out across the country.

He probably understood.

After figuring out Zhang Weiping's idea, Qin Muchu also had a bottom in his heart, and picked up the water cup:

"Then thank you, Mr. Zhang."

"Haha, it's still the same sentence, they are all friends, and they have money to earn together."

Zhang Weiping smiled happily, as if he had let go of a heart.

Qin Muchu also smiled, and at the same time gently patted Yang Mi's hand holding his arm, signaling him to be calm.

A meal, after completing the main task, is left to eat, drink, and chat.

But near the end, there were a few twists and turns.

"Teacher Qin, I toast you."

Zhou Dongyu stood up and held the wine glass in both hands.

Qin Muchu was stunned for a moment, and then he also stood up and raised his cup:

"No need to stand, let's just feel free."

Zhou Dongyu didn't expect Qin Muchu to stand up and drink with her, he squinted his eyes with a smile, and drank the cup as soon as he lifted it, and in an instant, his facial features were distorted together, and his mouth grew angry.

Qin Muchu saw Zhou Dongyu like this, and reacted:

"You're drinking?"

"Haha, she drinks and respects you."

Zhang Weiping confirmed it on behalf of Zhou Dongyu, and his expression was very satisfied.

set his eyes on Dou Xiao again, and the meaning was obvious.

Dou Xiao knew that he couldn't hide, so he was about to stand up, and suddenly Zhang Yimou spoke:

"Xiaoyu is still a child, what are you doing drinking?"

The old man's eyebrows were twisted, and he was a little angry.

From the perspective of an elder, when his parents handed over the little girl to him, he naturally had to protect it.

"What children, they are all eighteen adults, and this is a student respecting the teacher." Zhang Weiping didn't care.

Zhang Yimou had just overturned his idea that "Zhang Weiping has changed", frowning:

"What teacher, why did Xiao Qin become her teacher?"

These words also raised Qin Muchu's doubts.

He has no students, unless......

"I want to be admitted to the film academy, and Director Qin is also my teacher."

Zhou Dongyu, who was relieved, explained.

Zhang Yimou knew about this, and he also agreed with Zhou Dongyu's admission to the Film Academy for further study, but the teacher-student relationship was not too early.

He looked at Qin Muchu:

"Did you meet it on your first try?"

"Nope."

Qin Muchu shook his head.

At the first try, he didn't meet a familiar face in later generations.

Zhang Yimou's brows furrowed even deeper.

Looking at Zhou Dongyu, he felt that this little girl seemed to be a little different from what he imagined.

In the end, he waved his hand:

"You're still young, don't mess with these things, eat some food and press it, and if you don't feel well, go to the bathroom and spit out the wine."

"Oh, good."

Zhou Dongyu also noticed that Zhang Yimou was a little dissatisfied, but she only thought that Zhang Weiping had made her drink, and sat down to eat food honestly.

"Water."

As soon as I sat down, a glass of water was placed in front of me.

It's Dou Xiao.

After this came out, he didn't have to toast.

"Thank you."

Zhou Dongyu thanked him in a whisper.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yimou's brows relaxed.

"By the way, Director Zhang, the school wants to invite you as the examiner of the third exam."

When it came to the art examination, Qin Muchu also remembered one of the purposes of looking for Lao Mouzi today.

There are about one or two hundred people in Yanying's third test, and there is only one examination room, and the school is ready to invite a few celebrities in the circle to be examiners.

This is not a precedent, it has long been in the higher vocational class.

Inviting Lao Mouzi to be the examiner was also a joke that day, and someone really said it at the meeting, and the final result was that Qin Muchu invited Zhang Yimou on behalf of the school.

Correspondingly, he can avoid the re-examination invigilation.

"Excuse me?"

Zhang Yimou was a little surprised, frowned and thought for a while, and said:

"I don't necessarily have the time."

"The Hawthorn Tree" is about to start filming, and he will soon go to the filming location for a field trip.

"Just one day's work."

"That's fine."

Zhang Yimou nodded.

There's nothing to do in a day.

"I'll tell you when I get back to that."

Qin Muchu smiled.

If Lao Mouzi doesn't go, then it won't look good if he doesn't go to the re-examination and invigilation.

……

The meal ended quickly.

Originally, Qin Muchu planned to have a meeting with Lao Mouzi in the afternoon, mainly because he told the two actors, especially Zhou Dongyu, who had never acted or learned acting, about the role.

But Zhou Dongyu took a sip of wine, and it was nothing at first, but it gradually got up later.

In addition, she had to go to the first test of Chinese opera tomorrow, so she was simply asked to go back to the hotel to rest, and Qin Muchu didn't have to go to the meeting anymore.

At the time of parting, Jiang Zhiqiang grabbed Qin Muchu under Xu Chengyi's reminder.

was so shocked by Zhang Weiping's abnormality that he almost forgot to get down to business:

"Director Qin, there is something wrong, why don't you stay and talk, or change places."

Qin Muchu also remembered that Jiang Zhiqiang and the two said that they had something to do with themselves, and thought about it for a while:

"Then here it is."

"Then let's go first, we have to send Zhou Dongyu back."

Zhang Yimou said goodbye, and Zhang Mo hugged Zhou Dongyu, who was already confused.

Soon only Yang Mi, Qin Muchu, and Jiang Zhiqiang were left in the box.

Under Jiang Zhiqiang's eyes, Xu Chengyi took out a folder from his bag and put it on the table.

"Director Qin, look."
