The next morning, Chen Zhibin's wine had completely woken up, and of course he wasn't really drunk last night.

At least I remember a lot of details clearly, especially when Meng Ziyi hugged him and shouted "Shizi" frantically.

Turning her head to look, Meng Ziyi was indeed lying next to her, probably because she was too crazy last night and her body was too tired and tired, at this moment she was immersed in a wonderful sleep and would not wake up for the time being.

As for the so-called drunken disorder, there is no such thing, because Chen Zhibin's mind is clear, and he clearly knows what he is doing.

Meng Ziyi also knew that she was only slightly drunk, but when she was pressed down on the bed by Chen Zhibin, she didn't stand up in time and push it away.

Maybe at that moment, even she didn't know what she was thinking in her heart! Young men and women, especially handsome guys and girls, will always have a strange special feeling when they get along under the same roof for so long.

Maybe not to take the initiative, but not to say no.

The main thing is that one does not take the initiative, does not refuse, and is responsible for the situation, which is regarded as a madness after the finale, and no one knows anyway.

After today, what should I do? I'm afraid only the two of them know how beautiful and charming last night really was.

As soon as she thought of this, Chen Zhibin turned around and hugged Meng Ziyi tightly, and she was directly woken up after she might have taken a long time to wake up.

Feeling that the experience in the dream was so real, and there was even a little bit of pain, the sleeping Mencius finally couldn't help but open his eyes, and then saw an arm on his shoulder.

"It turns out that everything just now is not just a dream!" Meng Ziyi sighed. Originally, she thought that she was thinking about it during the day and dreaming at night, after all, after experiencing what happened before going to bed last night, her mind was indeed full of this kind of picture.

But when I opened my eyes, I found that not only was everything last night real, but half of the dream this morning also came from reality, after all, it is impossible to be so real in an ethereal dream.

In other words, before meeting Chen Zhibin, Meng Ziyi never dared to dream of such an outrageous child, but now he has really experienced it.

"Awake?" Chen Zhibin saw that there was movement, and asked tentatively.

"Uh-huh!" Meng Ziyi nodded in response, but secretly complained in his heart: "You are like this, can I not wake up?" ”

If you haven't woken up in this situation now, it's not a matter of sleeping lightly and sleeping heavily, but that social pressure is too loose.

High school life is tight, this is a well-known thing, after entering the university or entering the society, the whole person will inevitably gradually relax.

But that's just for most people, Chen Zhibin has always been a forced example, and the competition between female stars is particularly strong.

After waking up, Mencius saw that it was Chen Zhibin, but he didn't move, and the two of them maintained a sideways reclining posture to "recuperate".

And the purpose of "recuperation" is naturally to make it even crazier, but fortunately, "Sword in the Snow" has been completed, and I don't have to get up early to go to bed today as usual, so there is still a lot of time to make it.

More than two hours later, it was not until it was close to noon that Meng Ziyi quietly left Chen Zhibin's room, and the two checked out and left the hotel where the crew stayed, and then reunited in another place.

The reason why there is no direct separation is because Meng Ziyi is going to record "Actors Please Be in Place Season 2" next, and Chen Zhibin is just going to find director Chen Kaige, who is currently serving as a mentor in this variety show.

In 2017, when Chen Zhibin made a cameo appearance as the villain "Demon Cat" in the movie "The Legend of the Demon Cat" directed by Chen Kaige, he could be regarded as having a good relationship in advance.

And in 2020, that is, at the beginning of this year, Chen Kaige was already preparing for the series of movies "Changjin Lake", and at the same time called Chen Zhibin and invited him to play the role of Wu Wanli.

It's just that because of the epidemic, it had to be delayed for a while, and now although the epidemic has passed temporarily, the fact that the overall economic level of the country is declining is in front of us, and the total investment amount of the film is too huge, causing many investors to choose to temporarily withdraw their funds.

There's no way, not to mention how Chen Kaige's movies have been at the box office in recent years? The total investment of 1.3 billion yuan alone has discouraged many people.

The investment cost of 1.3 billion represents that it will take at least 3.6 billion to 3.9 billion at the box office to fully recover the cost, although this is a series of two films, but the style of the film can almost be said to be the same, as long as one of them pounces, then the other will also suffer.

It is precisely because of this that he had to temporarily put it back on hold, and Chen Zhibin saw this opportunity and planned to talk to the other party, after all, the box office of the movie in its previous life successfully surpassed "Wolf Warrior 2" and became the new domestic film box office champion, and the sum of the upper and lower parts is as high as 9.8 billion, almost approaching 10 billion, this risk can still be taken.

Of course, other investors do not have front and rear eyes like Chen Zhibin, so it is inevitable to worry about losing all their money. After all, "The Legend of the Demon Cat" invested a lot at the beginning, and even built a city specifically for this purpose, but the final box office income was only more than 600 million.

"What are you doing with Director Chen Kaige?" On the way, Meng Ziyi couldn't help but ask, her mind full of curious looks.

For ordinary actors, as the authority of the director, Chen Kaige's status in the circle is still quite high, the kind that many people can't reach, after all, not everyone can be like Chen Zhibin, not only has a relatively high popularity in the entertainment industry, but also has other identities in the investment world.

"Talk to Director Chen about business." Chen Zhibin replied.

"How big?" Meng Ziyi asked.

"A hundred to a hundred million!" Chen Zhibin responded lightly. Sure enough, it was the invisible pretending to be the most famous, although he didn't want to pretend at first, but when Meng Ziyi took the initiative to ask, he still felt quite cool.

"Really?" Meng Ziyi felt incredulous.

In her consistent cognition, many people brag that it means a small business of hundreds of millions, how can anyone like Chen Zhibin directly blow to tens of billions.

Sure enough, the confidence was sufficient, and the bragging was extraordinary, Mencius secretly sighed in his heart.

"Of course it's true." Chen Zhibin really didn't brag this time, the theater box office share plus the online payment account, no matter how much he got in the end, the amount involved in the film project was really more than 10 billion.

"Then you take it easy, don't be squeezed dry!" Meng Ziyi kindly reminded. The legendary little driver is probably nothing more than that.

"Is it possible that I'm talking about serious business?" Chen Zhibin said. If it is really an improper business, it is only hundreds of millions at a time, even if Chen Zhibin is talented, it can't violate the physiological limit.

"I didn't say anything else!" Meng Ziyi smiled and said: "I am asking you to pay more attention to your body, a healthy body is the capital of the revolution, don't work too hard, otherwise the 100 billion or so will also be earned for others." ”

"Curse me!" Chen Zhibin pinched Meng Ziyi's neck from behind, pulled him over and said, "Since that's the case, how about I send you a few hundred million first?" ”

"Okay!" Meng Ziyi replied fearlessly. Now on the road, she believes that Chen Zhibin will definitely not dare.

"Okay, then you wait." Chen Zhibin really doesn't dare now, but he can save it for Meng Ziyi first, and then give it to the other party in one go.

The recording venue of "Actors Please Be in Place" is in the same city as the filming set of "Swords in the Snow", but the difference is that one is in the city and the other is in the county below, so it only took more than an hour to arrive.

In the afternoon of the same day, Chen Zhibin and Chen Kaige sat down for a meal together, and had an in-depth discussion and understanding of the filming of the movie "Changjin Lake".

Of course, it is necessary to mention that the in-depth negotiation here is a serious in-depth negotiation, not a messy operation.

After all, under the influence of his son Chen Feiyu, Brother Chen Kai, who was also picked up with some old black material, is also famous, no matter how much Chen Zhibin plays, but that is limited to female stars, and the other party is not necessarily.

It can only be said that it is radish greens, each with its own love!

I don't know if it's because it was exaggerated by the media in my previous life, "Changjin Lake" actually doesn't have such a high budget, of course, it can't be ruled out that it accidentally overspent later, and then increased it.

After all, Brother Chen Kai likes to shoot big scenes, build a city at every turn, or invite tens of thousands of group actors to be the background version, when it comes to burning money, it's a great thing!

In Chen Zhibin's view, these things are not the key to the box office, otherwise "Wuji" and "The Legend of the Demon Cat" would not be able to pounce so badly!

This is also a big director who has already become famous, and he is very representative in the domestic and even international markets, otherwise I am afraid that he would have been blacklisted by major film investors, where is there still a chance to not only continue to shoot like now, but also win various awards.

Finally, after three rounds of drinking, there is something about the investment share of the film, Chen Zhibin and Chen Kaige also talked about it, and the investment share that was temporarily withdrawn due to the epidemic is about 500 million in total, of which 300 million will be made up by Abin Film and Television Company under his name.

As for the remaining 200 million, it is up to Chen Kaige to figure it out by himself, as a famous director, if he can't even do this, then I'm afraid he won't have to mix in the circle of directors.

And the reason why Chen Zhibin chose to do this is naturally not because Abin Venture Capital Company can't take out so much money, but because he knows the truth that greed can't chew too much, otherwise he would just be aiming for the box office of nearly 10 billion, and he is afraid that he will digest all the 130 million by himself.

However, even so, Abin Venture Capital, which participated in the support, still became the largest share of individual enterprise investment.

Several other production companies are old and big factories in the circle, such as Bona Film and Bayi Film Studio......

Like "My Motherland and Me" released on National Day last year, this movie is also strongly supported and advocated by the state.

Being able to serve as the chief director of these two films one after another, I have to sigh that Chen Kaige's background is still very strong.

In the evening, after everything was negotiated, the overly enthusiastic director Chen Kaige had to arrange a second scene for Chen Zhibin, but he politely refused on the grounds of drinking too much.

It's not that Chen Zhibin doesn't want to experience the content arranged by the top domestic directors and enjoy their happiness and extravagant life, the main thing is that this is not a vain experience, and if you don't get the handle, it will fall into the hands of others!

In the mixed entertainment industry, everyone is not clean, but it is one thing to know, and it is another thing to have substantial evidence at hand.

is like "Brother Run" Ding Xiu, nicknamed "Jiaqian Jushi", said to his junior brother Jin Yichuan: I can eat your secret for a lifetime.

Besides, isn't there still a "sweet potato" Mencius Yi, Chen Zhibin promised the other party "hundreds of millions", but he has not successfully cashed it out!

Since Meng Ziyi is going to record "Actors Please Be in Place Season 2" next, and Chen Kaige happens to be the mentor of this show, Chen Zhibin simply brought her with her in this drinking party, but she can be said to be quite honest in the box, and she didn't dare to intervene when Chen Zhibin and Chen Kaige were talking about the whole process.

As soon as she walked out of the hotel, Meng Ziyi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, she knew that Chen Zhibin's popularity and status in the entertainment industry were very high, but she didn't expect that even Brother Chen Kai would sell him a little face, and she felt different in an instant.

"What? Why are you so honest at the dinner table today? Chen Zhibin asked with a smile. This is not in Mencius's style, after all, she was very wild last night, and she drove on the road when she came.

"Can you be honest, I'm going to record the actor in two days, please be in place, he is the first mentor of this show!" Meng Ziyi couldn't help but sigh. After all, even Er Dongsheng and Guo Jingming have to be ranked behind him.

"It's okay, don't be afraid, this meal just now was not for nothing, after tonight's incident, Director Chen will definitely not make things difficult for you tomorrow!" Chen Zhibin immediately reached out and touched Meng Ziyi's head and comforted.

To put it mildly, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, Meng Ziyi came with Chen Zhibin today, even if there is really no relationship between the two, Chen Kaige will definitely not make things difficult for her in Chen Zhibin's face.

"Then thank you, Mr. Chen, it's good to have you!" Meng Ziyi took Chen Zhibin's arm and thanked him sincerely.

"You just found out! The good ones are yet to come! When Chen Zhibin heard this, he immediately raised his hand and slapped Meng Ziyi's buttocks.

On the way back, Meng Ziyi suddenly thought: "Your surname is Chen, and Director Chen Kaige is also surnamed Chen, shouldn't you two be brothers?" ”

There is no way, no wonder Meng Ziyi thinks so, after all, at the beginning, who would have thought that Chen He and Chen Feiyu were cousins.

In fact, many stars in the entertainment industry are related, such as Guo Jingfei and Lu Yi are brothers-in-law, and Chen Yixun and Wang Zhulan are cousins......

"Do you think so?" Chen Zhibin asked rhetorically.

"Not really!" Meng Ziyi shook his head and said, "You are much more handsome than him!" ”

"That's not it!" Chen Zhibin shrugged his shoulders and replied with a smile in a mocking tone: "Don't ask me about this kind of thing, you first ask Chen Feiyu if you would like to have more of me as an uncle, or ask Chen Hong if you would like to have more of me as a handsome, golden, and talented little uncle?" ”

"Haha, why are you so narcissistic!" Meng Ziyi responded with a smile.

"Narcissistic? It's just a matter of stating the facts. Chen Zhibin said.

In the evening, Chen Zhibin borrowed here for another night, and gave all the "hundreds of millions" accumulated this afternoon to Mencius.

With the investment of Abbin Venture Capital, the film "Changjin Lake" was launched in Kyoto more than two months later.

In addition to Chen Kaige, the chief director, there are two other well-known directors, namely Xu Laomo Xu Hark, and Lin Chaoxian.

The latter is also an old acquaintance, and he cooperated with Chen Zhibin to shoot "Operation Red Sea", which won a total box office of 3.8 billion yuan as soon as it was released, which is the closest box office to "Wolf Warrior 2" among war films.

Even in the minds of many viewers, the quality of this movie far surpasses that of "Wolf Warrior 2".

And what is more coincidental is that these two movies have Chen Zhibin starring, which not only drove the box office, but also left a deep impression on the audience.
