Chapter Thirty-Eight: Am I Really Stupid?
At 9 a.m. the next day, Zhang Yuanjun set off from school with gifts and went to Wang Jing's residence. I didn't go to someone's house to be a guest with a meal.
Wang Jing has a property in Beijing, right in the famous Palm Springs International Apartment.
When Zhang Yuanjun was welcomed into the door by Wang Jingqin, he saw You Naihai chatting with Wang Tianlin.
Should I say it or not, the old man is really fat.
And the mental head is very bad, the eyes can't be opened, and the look of can't wake up.
Wang Tianlin is the same age as his grandmother, but Zhang Yuanjun compared the two old men in his heart, and suddenly felt that his old lady's body was really tough.
Zhang Yuanjun greeted the two of them and gave him a gift to Wang Tianlin: "I know that you are from the old demon capital, and I have prepared a special product for you to taste." ”
said that this old man was energetic, and opened the bag on the spot and took out the gifts one by one: Jinhua ham, Qianyun leg, Jinling duck, Sanyang bacon, and a can of good Biluochun.
It's not very valuable, but Wang Tianlin smiled from ear to ear after reading it.
As soon as Wang Tianlin looked at the packaging, he knew that these goods were not bought in the capital, but should have been specially purchased in the magic capital.
The gift went to his heart.
Wang Tianlin laughed twice, and was said by Wang Jing: "You can still eat these now." ”
Wang Tianlin said: "Why can't I eat it? Eat a little a day, that's enough for me for months. When he got older, Wang Tianlin's diet was strictly controlled by his family.
After staying in the crew of "No. 1 in the World" for three months, Zhang Yuanjun's Cantonese level has improved, he can understand it slowly, and he has learned a few words himself.
But what Wang Tianlin said at this time, he didn't understand a word.
The old man's Chinese accent is also very strong, and Zhang Yuanjun can only listen to a rough idea.
However, Zhang Yuanjun's language barrier added a lot of fun to the whole meeting and shortened the distance between them.
Wang Tianlin and You Naihai took care of Zhang Yuanjun, slowed down their speech, and spoke Mandarin very seriously.
"I heard that the national highway catering belongs to your family?" Wang Tianlin began to inquire about Zhang Yuanjun's family background.
"Yes."
"I've eaten your family's dishes in Yangcheng and Pengcheng, and I met Jiangnan and the little chef, right?"
"Have you eaten? How does it taste? "Yujiangnan is a high-end catering brand, and the little chef takes the road of Chinese fast food.
"It's delicious, but it's a pity that your family doesn't have a store on Hong Kong Island."
Zhang Yuanjun was not interested in the catering business at home, but he had heard a sentence or two, so he joked: "The competition in Hong Kong Island catering is too fierce, and we can't get in." ”
A few people laughed, and Wang Jing asked again: "Why don't you learn business from your father, but come to learn acting and be an actor?" ”
"I'm not interested in opening a hotel management company." Zhang Yuanjun said, "I am the third, I have older brothers and sisters above me, so it will not be my turn to take over."
"But the eldest and second learned computer science and design, and my father's dream of cultivating a successor was shattered."
Zhang Yuanjun himself laughed as he spoke.
After some laughter, lunch was ready, and everyone was seated.
Chinese people like to talk about business at the dinner table, and when they are at the table, Wang Tianlin still dominates the conversation.
first said that he had watched the clip of Zhang Yuanjun in "No. 1 in the World" and felt that he acted very well.
then said that he and Du Qifeng were preparing a new play, and there was a lack of young actors, so he felt that Zhang Yuanjun was very suitable and wanted to invite him to Hong Kong Island to film.
Zhang Yuanjun wanted to agree, he liked the drama "Underworld" very much.
But he still kept calm and waited for the other party to open conditions.
Wang Tianlin introduced the basic situation, and then handed it over to You Naihai.
After introducing the story and characters of "Underworld", You Naihai said: "The role of Jimmy Zai has not yet been determined as an actor, I think you are very suitable." ”
"Thanks, hehe." After Zhang Yuanjun finished speaking, he closed his mouth and lowered his head to eat.
You Naihai remembered what Wang Jing had entrusted to him before: "In order to return to the role of the sea, he will find my office and directly talk about investment." He is very direct, don't go around in circles with him, just say it directly if you want to invest. ”
He has been in this circle for more than ten years, and he has seen everyone, and he has seen a lot of Zhang Yuanjun who waits for the other party to make a move without answering.
Immediately, he was not verbose: "Invite you to perform, and we can share 20% of the investment amount with you." Johnnie's films, for sure, make money. ”
"Underworld" is certainly an excellent movie, and Du Qifeng made an epic sense in 85 minutes.
If he is an actor, Zhang Yuanjun will agree to You Naihai's invitation without saying a word and play Jimmy Zai.
However, from an investment point of view, "Underworld" lost to grandma's family.
The total investment is 40 million Hong Kong dollars, with a box office of 6 million in the mainland and 2 million on Hong Kong Island.
can shoot the second part, completely relying on copyright and discs to return the blood.
Zhang Yuanjun thinks back at the moment, he will believe that this movie can cost 40 million when his head is in the water!
There must have been a trick on the account.
Zhang Yuanjun really wants to play Jimmy Tsai, but the cost of contracting is 20%, and he doesn't think he has the ability to play this group of people on Hong Kong Island.
So his answer was: "Of course, it is my honor to be able to star in the work of director Du Qifeng, but I don't have so much money on investment." ”
Zhang Yuanjun knew that they were fighting his parents' idea, so he said: "My family is just me and I am in the entertainment industry, my parents don't understand, I just want to act for the time being, and I have no intention of investing." ”
You Naihai persuaded two more sentences, saying that he had received an invitation from Cannes for this play, and he could take Zhang Yuanjun abroad to participate in the film festival when the time came.
But Zhang Yuanjun still doesn't let go, acting is okay, but investment is not good.
Maybe it was because he spent money to buy Guihai before that Wang Jing felt that he was stupid and had a lot of money.
This kind of rich second-generation people enter the circle to play tickets, Wang Jing has seen not a thousand but eight hundred.
Zhang Yuanjun is willing to spend 800,000 yuan to buy the role of Guihai Yidao, pulling Du Qifeng's banner, and it shouldn't be a problem to set him up with 8 million 10 million.
But Zhang Yuanjun will not plant the same person twice.
In the end, Wang Jing came out to play a round: "Xiao Zhang is a good actor, you bring his information to Johnnie and let him decide, aren't you just short of an actor." ”
In a few words, the investment was covered up, and only the actor was talked.
You Naihai borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and said with a smile: "Yes, let's talk about actors today." Xiao Zhang, don't worry, I can see that you are a good actor, I will go back to Hong Kong Island tomorrow and tell Johnnie about your situation, he will definitely like you. ”
Zhang Yuanjun also went down the steps and gave You Naihai and Wang's father and son a glass: "I'm young, I've just started acting, and I still need more guidance from my seniors." ”
Say a few kind words, it's over.
After eating, another round of tea was drunk at Wang's house, Zhang Yuanjun woke up most of the time, and then said goodbye.
It was very hot in the capital in July, and the scorching sun was shining, but you could still feel the scorching heat of the cement road under your feet. After waiting for the car for two minutes, Zhang Yuanjun was roasted and sweated.
Zhang Yuanjun got into the taxi, told the driver to go to the film school, and squinted his eyes to rest. When Zhang Yuanjun got out of the car, he still felt a little dizzy. Back in the bedroom, he took a handful of water and wiped his face, Zhang Yuanjun lay in bed and slept until he was awakened by hunger at 7 o'clock in the evening.
Searching for Zhu Yawen's hidden instant noodles and ham sausages, Zhang Yuanjun boiled water to soak himself.
