On this night, the cold wind in Yanjing was howling, and the pedestrians on the street put on down coats, shrunk their bodies, and hurried by.

Li Shengyao and his assistant came to Guoxin Hotel.

Just got out of the car, just watched an old acquaintance.

Chai Zhiping stood at the entrance of the hotel, wearing a down coat, in the cold wind, she stomped her feet slightly, but she never left, poked her head out, and looked into the distance.

Seeing Li Shengyao's car, Chai Zhiping's eyes lit up, and then quickly greeted him.

"Director Li, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule, thank you, thank you."

"Director Li, I have already booked a box and ordered a table of good wine and food, please come in."

"Director Li, here, be careful."

Chai Zhiping walked in front, leading the way as she walked.

After a while, they came to a box together, and when they opened the door, they felt that it was much warmer and brighter than outside, and there was a vague fragrance wafting through the air.

There was already a table of good dishes ordered in the box, which were still steaming, and they had obviously just been served.

There were two rows of sofas at the table, and three young long-haired women were seated, all three of them with long hair shawls and innocent faces.

I had already taken off my coat and was wearing a sweater and jeans at this time.

When they heard the voice, they immediately stood up, and then looked at Li Shengyao.

Zhang Junning, Guo Biyao, Chen Yanxi.

They were all people Li Shengyao knew in his previous life, and his eyes lit up and he looked at Chai Zhiping.

"Director Li, they are all newcomers in the showbiz, anyway, it's okay to be idle, I'll bring them over, you look at it."

Chai Zhiping then waved his hand, and the three girls immediately stepped forward and stood in a row, "Director Li." ”

The voices are all shy, and the crooked accents are obvious.

All very polite.

Li Shengyao likes polite children very much, and nods with a smile.

After a while, Li Shengyao, Chai Zhiping, and Guo Biyao took their seats.

He sat in the middle, and Guo Biyao and Zhang Junning sat on either side of him.

"The three of you, be eye-catching, Director Li is not good at picking vegetables, you have to help him."

Chai Zhiping spoke, and the three girls hurriedly served vegetables to Li Shengyao.

Li Shengyao smiled and nodded.

They then chatted while eating, mainly Chai Zhiping said and Li Shengyao listened.

From Chai Zhiping's mouth, he learned some about the current state of the film and television industry.

Fenghua Film and Television Company has filmed a large number of idol dramas, and has achieved great success, sweeping Southeast Asia and exported to Zhongdong South Magnesium.

Seeing this, Wanwan Film and Television Production Company immediately followed up and filmed a lot of idol dramas, but except for a few dramas that were more successful, most of the idol dramas were not as good as Fenghua dramas.

In the bend the water splash is not big.

Chai Zhiping and his company have almost wiped out all the crooked handsome men and women, on the one hand, they are filming idol dramas, and on the other hand, they are cooperating with Hong Kong Island Film and Television Company in the mainland.

With F4 as the pioneer, they have created some good results, Chai Zhiping's status in the bend is getting higher and higher, gradually overpowering Qiong Yao, and she is known as the godmother of the new bend idol drama.

Guo Biyao and Zhang Junning will also say a few words, supplementing or echoing Chai Zhiping's remarks.

Guo Biyao was relatively shy, she could see that there was not much ink in her stomach, her speech was not concise and accurate enough, she didn't dare to look at Li Shengyao, she looked at it secretly, and turned her head with a red face.

Zhang Junning and Chen Yanxi are much better, these two people are well-organized, they are people who have studied in college, and they are more active in the face of Li Shengyao, and they will actively look for opportunities to look at Li Shengyao.

After about an hour of chatting, we finished eating.

The waiter came in and served some pastries, and Chai Zhiping whispered: "Director Li, I think there must be something you need in the Wanwan film and television industry, you can't forget us."

The young director who made TV series at the beginning has now become one of the best commercial film directors in the mainland.

and has a net worth of billions, a video website, and a theater chain, which has reached a height that Chai Zhiping cannot reach.

Chai Zhiping can be said to be full of emotion.

After knowing each other for so long, watching Li Shengyao take off quickly, she naturally wanted to get a piece of the pie.

TVB, as well as the mainland's three David TV, and even Hong Jinbao, Wang Jing have all benefited.

Chai Zhiping really wanted to work with Lee Shengyao.

Hearing this, Li Shengyao raised the teacup and shook it gently, but did not immediately agree, nor did he express his objection.

Chai Zhiping saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart.

Compared with the previous direct refusal, this time Li Shengyao's attitude is much better.

It's a play.

Happiness came so suddenly, she couldn't even believe it.

She immediately drank a cup of tea, calmed down a little, and then continued: "Director Li, we really have great sincerity, you must not treat me as an outsider, we have known each other for so long, will I lie to you?"

When Li Shengyao heard this, he smiled, "It's hard to say. ”

"Director Li, you really wronged me, I will never lie to people, and my parents will not lie to you."

Chai Zhiping stood up a little excitedly, and almost swore to the sky.

Li Shengyao watched Chai Zhiping acting, and smiled secretly in his heart, "Okay, Mr. Chai, don't be like this, I know what you want." ”

Chai Zhiping breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Li Shengyao expectantly, "Director Li, Fenghua has so many projects, can you give us a chance, we are definitely the best partners." ”

"Well...... this"

Li Shengyao got up and glanced at Guo Biyao, "It's too late tonight, let's talk about it tomorrow morning." ”

Chai Zhiping saw it in his eyes, his heart was happy, he took a step forward, and said in a low voice: "Director Li, the three of them are all newcomers, and they all want to get your guidance, they can listen to the class together."

Do four play mahjong together?

Is this a concubine?

Not quite right?

Chai Zhiping was already relatively thin, and Li Shengyao looked over condescendingly, feeling that Sister Chai had a sharp-beaked monkey cheek.

He shook his head, "I've been busy lately, so it's just her." ”

Li Shengyao has been for a while, except for Dong Xuan and Chen Hao, he has not touched other women again.

This time, Chai Zhiping sent the girl thousands of miles away, and he planned to smile a little, so as not to chill the people's hospitality.

As for why you choose one person, not three.

That's naturally because Director Li has principles and a bottom line, and he can control himself.

A moment later, in the presidential suite of Guoxin Hotel, Li Shengyao took Guo Biyao's hand and explained to her the basic skills of the actor.

From the pronunciation of lines, to physical performance, to the connotation of actors, he has taught them all once.

Guo Biyao is very studious, she was shy when she just ate, she was very active at this time, she was just talented, but she had a pair of innocent big eyes...... Enough is enough.

……

At nine o'clock in the morning of the next day, Li Shengyao left the suite, and Guo Biyao was still in bed recalling last night's knowledge.

Li Shengyao then met Chai Zhiping, and the two of them ordered breakfast, and then ate breakfast while talking.

This time, Lee Shengyao plans to cooperate with Chai Zhiping.

"Punch, Dad" and "Extreme Escape" couldn't be screened in Wanwan, and his movies couldn't make money in Wanwan.

This made him a little uncomfortable when he remembered it occasionally.

Wanwan came to the mainland and got so much benefit, but his movies could not be exported to Wanwan.

Li Shengyao later decided that if he had the opportunity, he would copy some very popular crooked movies to make money indirectly.

He had actually been waiting for the crooked person to come over, and Chai Zhiping was here, just in his heart.

"Mr. Chai, after some careful consideration last night, I felt your sincerity, and I plan to cooperate with you."

Chai Zhiping was overjoyed, she had been thinking about it for several years, and it was finally going to come true, "Director Li, you won't regret your choice, I am definitely your best partner." ”

Li Shengyao smiled, "I have a movie here, I think it may be very suitable to shoot in the bend." ”

The movie is good, the movie is compelling, and it can fool investors.

"What kind of movie?"

"A youth film."

In addition to literary films, the best thing in the film and television industry is youth films.

Needless to say, the four major directors are all masters, and they are all people who can leave a name in the history of film.

In terms of youth films, Li Shengyao is also puzzled by this.

The previous youth movies in the mainland were good, such as "Seventeen-Year-Old Don't Cry", "Flower Season and Rainy Season", and "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle", which are obviously very interesting.

But later, represented by Xiaosi and Zhao Yanzi, mainland youth movies changed shape, either betrayal, fetus, fight, or neurosis.

It has nothing to do with the youth of the vast majority of people.

He was also a person who went to school in his previous life, why has he never seen those youth films.

Hong Kong Island, the former stronghold of Asian cinema, is equally strange, as if there is no such thing as a youth film.

The photographer and the twins made a few movies, which seemed to be youth films, but there was no sense of substitution, and they were fake at first sight.

And the youth films of the bend are really good, probably because the buildings are relatively old, probably because there are more antennas on the bend side, probably because the people like to ride motorcycles, and their youth movies are always very old.

It's easy to get in.

This is the reason why Lee Shengyao is willing to cooperate with Wanwan.

When Chai Zhiping heard this, she was somewhat disappointed, she thought it was a blockbuster.

However, when I think about it, the investment in youth films is small, and it is suitable for making a try.

She noticed that Lee needed a tissue and immediately handed it over.

"Director Li, what is this movie called?"

"The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years."

"The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" is the work of Nine Talks, which should have been written at this time, but it has not yet been published.

This dog is a lone, and Lee Shengyao copied his movies without any moral pressure.

"The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" got more than 400 million ~ yuan in Wanwan, more than 60 million yuan on Hong Kong Island, and more than 70 million in the mainland.

At the time of the release, there were already high-definition resources in the mainland, and if it was released at the same time as Wanwan, it should be able to exceed 100 million.

The movie was later remade by the island nation.

There are many crooks, and if you cooperate with them, they may be able to do things at the box office.

However, on Hong Kong Island and the mainland, Lee Shengyao can call the shots.

And he doesn't plan to bend the box office, he wants the box office in the mainland and Hong Kong Island.

The box office belongs to Chai Zhiping, and the box office in the mainland and Hong Kong Island belongs to him, so he can make the same money.

In addition to "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", the follow-up can also shoot "The Little Thing of First Love", "My Girlhood", and "Introduction to Architecture".

He plans to hand over this type of movie to Wanwan.

When Chai Zhiping heard this, he read two sentences softly, and then asked, "Director Li, what is the story of this movie?" ”

Li Shengyao then chatted with Chai Zhiping, one is to tell the story of the film, and the other is to talk about his plan.

The film invested 8 million, he and Chai Zhiping each had 4 million, he provided the script, he didn't bend the box office, as long as the box office on Hong Kong Island and the mainland.

When Chai Zhiping heard this, he immediately felt that he had lost.

The current movies in the mainland are hundreds of millions, and the domestic movies over there are at most 40 or 50 million.

"Director Li, I'm too sorry for you to make such an allocation."

"Don't lose money, Mr. Chai, don't stare at me, think about yourself, it is equivalent to you investing 4 million to make a movie, it is easy to return to the capital, and you don't want to watch movies with more than 100 million yuan in the mainland, you think you can get a high box office in the mainland. Those are all commercial films with an investment of tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, and we are youth films with small fights. ”

Li Shengyao paused for a moment, and then said: "If you don't agree, then forget it, I'll find someone else to cooperate."

"Director Li, you are really ...... It's so out-of-the-box, I ......"

Chai Zhiping still feels that she has lost money in such an allocation, but she has always wanted to cooperate with Li Shengyao.

And investing 4 million to make a movie is indeed very cost-effective, in case it explodes, even if she gets 20 million in Wanwan, she will make money.

"Director Li, I believe in you, and I am willing to cooperate with you."

Li Shengyao was happy in his heart, but his face was indifferent, "Let's find a time to sign a contract, I will send you the script next month, and strive to start shooting before April." ”

Chai Zhiping nodded, "Director Li, the hero and heroine?" ”

"You see the script, according to the plot setting, choose it first, and then show it to me, it's pretty much fine."

Li Shengyao doesn't plan to stuff actors in youth films, the mainland has a different accent and temperament, and it is very awkward to forcibly arrange them together.

Chai Zhiping was overjoyed, and she couldn't hide her smile.

She realized that if she used her own people, the movie could be made without even eight million, wouldn't it mean that she could fill her pocket.

She just felt that Li Shengyao's distribution plan was not good, and she was at a loss, and she was depressed.

I was in a much better mood at this time.

Li Shengyao saw it in his eyes and didn't say anything.

It is indeed childish to make TV series, but the movie is quite detailed, in his previous life, "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" was produced by Chai Zhiping.

This woman is indeed greedy, but there is a bottom line and quality will be guaranteed.

Chai Zhiping then thought of Guo Biyao, who had made outstanding contributions, "How about the heroine let Guo Biyao play?" ”

Li Shengyao shook his head, "Her acting skills are too bad, let Chen Yanxi act, she fits the image quite well." ”

Phew, scumbag, I played Guo Biyao, and I was worried about Chen Yanxi again.

Chai Zhiping thought of a possibility and despised it in her heart.

Naturally, she didn't say it, and smiled ambiguously.

"I'll ask Chen Yanxi to come over, and you can teach her a lesson."

Li Shengyao looked at Chai Zhiping strangely, knowing that this woman had misunderstood him.

"No, I'm not interested."

Chen Yanxi's ancient costume is indeed not good, but the modern costume is okay.

And she has really read books, has a good level of education, and can play a class flower.

Guo Biyao is really not talented in acting, and she is a wooden beauty.

Director Li has always been very serious about his works.

"Mr. Chai, that's it, happy cooperation."

A moment later, Li Shengyao left the Guoxin Hotel in a car.

The cold wind was still there, and the pedestrians were in a hurry.

He lit his chair, a smile on his lips.

He will go back to his hometown with Chen Hao for the New Year in a few days, and strive to write the script of "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" when he was in his hometown.

Then he waited for Cheng Long's side.

If you agree, you will shoot "Hurricane Rescue", and you will not agree with him to make a war movie.

Don't wait, everyone, there is no more today, and every weekend I have to set aside a day to go back to my hometown.

I'll make it up tomorrow.
