"Congratulations, Mr. Chen, the box office has exceeded 5 billion." Li Xiaoran and Shi Xiaolong walked over and said with a smile.

"It's okay, it's okay." Chen Zhibin said very modestly: "It's mainly the credit of Brother Jing, I'm a box office rubber!" ”

"That's too modest, isn't it!" Li Xiaoran said: "Director Wu said that this movie can have its current achievements thanks to your hard work. ”

As we all know, "Wolf Warrior 2" was a box office hit, and Chen Zhibin and his Abin Venture Capital Company are the biggest beneficiaries of this movie.

At the beginning of the preparation of the film, the investment share of Abin Venture Capital Company was 30 million yuan, but later it was not enough, Chen Zhibin stayed and added an additional investment of 50 million yuan, adding up to a total investment of 80 million yuan, accounting for 40% of the total investment of "Wolf Warrior 2".

In addition, Chen Zhibin starred in the second male lead "Zhuo Yifan", and his popularity has also risen a lot, and it is indeed not an exaggeration to say that he is the biggest beneficiary of the movie.

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Chen Zhibin waved his hand and said indifferently: "I'm just doing my part for domestic films, and I want to thank Sister Xiaoran and Brother Xiaolong for coming to support me today." ”

As he spoke, he first stepped forward and shook hands with Li Xiaoran, then hugged him shallowly to show his respect, followed by Shi Xiaolong.

"Yes, I just hope that fans won't say that we are hot at that time!" Li Xiaoran and Shi Xiaolong said with a smile.

Since they came, they definitely didn't worry so much about this problem, but if it was too ugly, there was still some resentment in their hearts!

"That can't, isn't this to celebrate the success of Wolf Warrior 2, how can it be said to be hot!" Chen Zhibin hurriedly comforted and said.

"I hope so." Shi Xiaolong next to him also nodded.

A five-billion movie box office celebration banquet that was supposed to be particularly hot ended in a bland and cold atmosphere.

At the end of the show, Chen Zhibin stopped Li Xiaoran, of course, he didn't have any other ideas, but there happened to be a drama that planned to cooperate with the other party.

"What's the matter, Mr. Chen?" Li Xiaoran turned his head and asked.

"It's nothing." Chen Zhibin shook his head and asked casually: "I just want to ask Sister Xiaoran if there is any schedule vacant after a while?" ”

"Looking for me?" Li Xiaoran almost just stopped and thought about it for a while, and instantly understood what Chen Zhibin meant, after all, everyone is in the entertainment industry, and there is a chance that there is a potential intention in this regard.

"At present, there is a drama in preparation, and the role of the second female lead in the play has not been decided yet, so I want to ask Sister Xiaoran if she is dissatisfied with the expiration of the schedule, I think this role is quite suitable for you." Chen Zhibin asked straight to the point.

After the intersection of a celebration banquet, he and Li Xiaoran also got to know each other preliminarily, so they just took this opportunity to talk about cooperation.

"Movie or TV series?" Li Xiaoran asked.

"TV series, the kind that invests hundreds of millions." Chen Zhibin revealed.

"Otherwise, let's talk about this in detail in another place." Li Xiaoran suddenly became interested when she heard this, regardless of movies or TV series, projects of hundreds of millions of dollars are still rare in the circle, and it is no wonder that she can still be so interested even when she knows that Chen Zhibin said that she is the second female lead.

In addition, the reason why I came to participate in the celebration banquet of "Wolf Warrior 2" was that in addition to coming to support Wu Jing as a friend, I also wanted to take this opportunity to seek some opportunities for myself at the banquet.

Saying a thousand things and ten thousand, it is impossible to say that you didn't think about it at all to rub the heat, after all, there are many bigwigs in the circle who participate in this kind of top-level celebration banquet, and more bigwigs mean more opportunities!

It's just that she didn't expect to come to the scene, and the celebration banquet that should have been bustling was so deserted, which surprised her a little.

However, after the banquet, Chen Zhibin took the initiative to find her, and now it can be regarded as a wish, at least it is not for nothing.

Shi Xiaolong is even more miserable, as the actor of General Nie in "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Army", he came to participate in the celebration banquet of "Wolf Warrior 2", which was a relatively good existence, but in the case of so few stars in the circle, he was secretly accused even if he was wrong, and he would be put on the bright side!

Chen Zhibin felt that when "Wolf Warrior 3" was filmed, if Wu Jing didn't invite Shi Xiaolong to make a cameo or play a role in it, he wouldn't be able to be so powerful to others, and when the number of celebrities in the circle was so small, he still resisted the pressure and appeared at the celebration banquet of "Wolf Warrior 2".

In addition, Chen Zhibin feels that Shi Xiaolong also needs such a chance to become popular, he and Cao Jun and Xie Meow, who are at the peak of their debut, and cooperate with various big names in the circle, such as Li Lianjie, Jiao Anjun, Wu Mengda, etc., it is still a pity that the martial arts child stars who were once so popular that they turned purple are still a pity.

is different from the young top performers who are now filming and selling rotten dramas, or out of the circle in variety shows, they can play and dance with acting skills, and they can do some real kung fu in their hands, and they can't be said to be completely disabled in their appearance, but they don't quite conform to the current mainstream aesthetics, and they look more masculine!

The most important thing is that because of the martial arts practice since childhood, it has caused a relatively consistent hard injury, so it does not have any advantage in terms of height at all, which does not meet the conditions for the cutest height difference between men and women in the current play!

In this way, the drama road will naturally become narrower!

So much so that Cao Jun matched Wang Dalu, Xiao Zhan and others in "His Highness the Wolf", and played a small role that was not even worthy of a name.

"I don't know if Mr. Chen has time now, if we can, let's find a quieter place near here to talk in detail." Li Xiaoran said with interest.

It's not that she's too anxious, it's mainly that the opportunity is relatively rare, and it is not easy to run into it, so you must take advantage of it.

In case after parting ways today, Chen Zhibin and noble people forget about it, forget about this matter, or give the opportunity to others, then they will miss it.

"Absolutely." Chen Zhibin smiled, he knew that the fish had been hooked.

In the entertainment industry, resources are everything, even if it is a "national goddess" like Li Xiaoran, who has debuted for more than 20 years, she still needs good resource projects to maintain her popularity and popularity, so that she will not be forgotten by the audience.

As for the second female lead, it is not the first time that Li Xiaoran has acted in it, as long as the investment in the work is large enough, she is still willing to play a supporting role!

After all, at Li Xiaoran's age, even if he doesn't look very old in terms of appearance, it is still quite offensive to play a girl!

The most representative ones are Zhang Zhiyi and Liu Xiaoqing, both of whom are already so old and still play girls in the play, which is indeed full of disobedience.

In recent years, Li Xiaoran has also begun to try to play some mother's roles in the play, but fortunately, the audience is quite good.

Therefore, the former "national goddess" is gradually adapting to the market, and seeking opportunities can be a good transformation.

Next, the two came to the vicinity of the celebration banquet and found a relatively secluded tea house, the antique, elegant and quiet single room seemed to be particularly suitable for discussing cooperation matters.

Originally, according to Li Xiaoran's proposal, he planned to take Chen Zhibin to the café next door to talk about cooperation, but he was not used to drinking bitter coffee, so he took the other party to this tea house in turn.

"Is this drama a costume drama or a modern drama? Are there any requirements for the actor role? Li Xiaoran asked tentatively.

"Costumes." Chen Zhibin replied quite happily: "There is no requirement for the request, but you may need to play the heroine's mother, I don't know if Sister Xiaoran can accept this matter?" ”

Many female stars can't accept the role of the heroine's mother, Chen Zhibin knows, Lin Xinru once publicly said in an interview that if she is not allowed to play the heroine, but let her play the mother of the heroine in the play, then she would rather choose to quit the circle than do that.

In fact, in recent years, there have been a lot fewer film and television works on the other side, I don't know if it's because of this.

As for Li Xiaoran's acting skills, Chen Zhibin also has some understanding, and he can't say that he is particularly good, but his acting skills are explosive, but he is not particularly checked, so there is not much need to audition at all.

Besides, the role he wants to give away as a favor was played by Li Xiaoran in his previous life, so it can be regarded as a matter of killing two birds with one stone.

"Of course you can, what's unacceptable about that!" Li Xiaoran does not have the persistence of Lin Xinru's views on this matter.

After all, who hasn't grown old one day, she was once beautiful, not to mention that she is still very beautiful now, but the age of beauty is different.

Compared with before, the current Li Xiaoran is obviously more charming, and it is not impossible to forcibly play a girl, but there will be a sense of disobedience.

Therefore, it is better to accept this fact calmly.

"It's just that I want to ask, is this drama produced by your company? What role does Mr. Chen play in it? Li Xiaoran was a little curious.

"It was jointly invested and produced by my company and other companies, and I played the male protagonist in it." Chen Zhibin said without hesitation.

"That's what it looks like!" Li Xiaoran nodded, although she had already vaguely guessed it, but when she learned that Chen Zhibin played the male protagonist in the play and fell in love with the person who played her daughter, there was still a bit of a gap!

"Xiaoran, don't you need to read the script?" Chen Zhibin asked with a smile.

"Huh? Did you bring the script? Li Xiaoran was a little surprised, the reason why she didn't ask about the script was because the cooperation was discussed in a hurry, and she met by chance at the celebration banquet of "Wolf Warrior 2", she didn't think that Chen Zhibin would carry the script with her.

"Not really! However, I have an electronic version of the script in my hand, so I can print some out first, and we can read it as we go. Chen Zhibin took out his mobile phone from his pocket and said, when he came, he saw something printed on the side of the road.

If you really don't have it, it's not impossible to ask the tea house to help, I believe they can still be very helpful.

"If there is a script, of course it would be great, Mr. Chen, you are not in a hurry in the afternoon, right?" Li Xiaoran nodded and asked. At present, no matter how well the two talk about it, it is just empty talk, and everything still depends on the script.

"There's no hurry." Chen Zhibin shook his head.

Soon, he opened the electronic version of the script, found a place to print out a small part of it, and let Li Xiaoran watch it roughly on the spot.

The two chatted while watching, and after opening the folder, they gradually talked from the original work to the script itself, and then to the personalities of the characters in the play, which is not in-depth.

It's just that in this way, three or four hours have passed before you know it.

Originally, today's celebration banquet on the side of "Wolf Warrior 2" was relatively late, and it was already past two o'clock when it ended, and now it was time to eat.

"I've been chatting for an afternoon, Sister Xiaoran, why don't we go eat something first and then continue to talk?" Chen Zhibin proposed. Although I finally ate quite full, I was indeed a little hungry after drinking tea here for a few hours.

Tea is a good thing to scrape oil, and this is indeed worthy of its name!

"Okay." Li Xiaoran did not refuse. She is indeed very interested in this script, and the most important thing is that the total investment amount is about hundreds of millions, not to say that such a high investment will definitely be popular, but it must be a high investment, and the probability of being popular is obviously greater than that of other ordinary works.

The cost of drinking tea at the tea house this afternoon was invited by Li Xiaoran, and Chen Zhibin did not rob the other party, and of course he did not really plan to rob the other party.

Next, the two didn't go too far, but still found a restaurant nearby that looked quite upscale to prepare for dinner.

"Would you like to have some wine, Mr. Chen?" Out of politeness, Li Xiaoran asked.

"Absolutely." Chen Zhibin has this intention, even if Li Xiaoran himself doesn't take the initiative to mention it, he will definitely persuade the other party a little.

After all, at the celebration banquet at noon, although Li Xiaoran was not drunk, he also drank a lot, and if he didn't drink at night at all, it would obviously not give face.

"Then I'll go to the front desk and get it." Li Xiaoran stood up and said.

"No, you don't." Chen Zhibin grabbed Li Xiaoran's hand and said, "I have a ready-made one, just with more trouble, drink it by the way." ”

As he spoke, Chen Zhibin opened the handbag he was carrying, which was the two bottles of limited edition Moutai that Yuan Renguo, the boss of Moutai Company, specially sent at the end of the celebration banquet of "Wolf Warrior 2" today.

The reason why it is said to be a limited edition is because it is specially made and specially supplied, and in the absence of special channels on the Internet, even money cannot buy it.

"It's wine!" Li Xiaoran was obviously a little surprised, and said with a slight sigh: "I thought it was an important document!" ”

When she had an in-depth exchange at the tea house this afternoon, she did notice this box, but she didn't expect that it was actually Moutai.

"Yes, the limited edition sent by Mr. Yuan!" Chen Zhibin nodded. In fact, it was not only Li Xiaoran, at the beginning, for this special packaging, even he and Wu Jing didn't see that it was actually a limited edition Moutai.

"That must be precious, or you might as well take it back." Li Xiaoran said. Although the wine I drank at the celebration banquet today is also Moutai provided by Moutai, in terms of price and preciousness, it is definitely not comparable to these two bottles of limited edition.

"There's no need to be that troublesome." Chen Zhibin shook his head and refused: "There is wine today and I am drunk today, and besides, I have to drink it sooner or later if I bring it back!" ”

"Okay, then I'll be wiped out!" Seeing that Chen Zhibin insisted on doing so, Li Xiaoran did not continue to stop it, she really wanted to taste this limited edition Moutai, which was different from what she drank at the celebration banquet during the day.

Even though she is a public figure and a star in the eyes of the audience and fans, there is still no such special treatment with Yuan Renguo, the boss of Moutai Company.

"What is not stained, just a bottle of liquor!" Chen Zhibin knows that this wine is very precious, but it is also artificially brewed, and it is obviously impossible to say that you can go to heaven with a sip!

What's more, Li Xiaoran didn't drink this wine for nothing, whether she was stained or not, this kind of thing can't be known until after drinking.

Soon, Chen Zhibin opened the box, took out a special bottle of limited edition Moutai, and poured a glass for Li Xiaoran and himself.

"It smells so good! The limited edition is really different! Li Xiaoran just lowered his head and sniffed the mouth of the cup, and couldn't help but sigh!

"It's such an exaggeration!" Chen Zhibin said.

"Yes, I don't believe you." Li Xiaoran said with some embarrassment.

"Okay, then I'll smell it."

Hearing this, Chen Zhibin also picked it up and smelled it, this wine tastes really fragrant, but it is not as exaggerated as Li Xiaoran said!

Of course, it can also be said that he is a tyrannical thing! Anyway, Chen Zhibin thinks the taste is just like that! It is far from smelling as good as Li Xiaoran's body.

If this is known to alcoholics who really love wine, it is estimated that Chen Zhibin will be angry and vomit blood!

Women, how can they be compared to wine!
