"Did you get Lao Huang?"

"Got it, it's a bit blocked, twenty minutes at most. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Okay, then we'll wait for you. ”

Cao Ping hung up the phone and put the phone in the right-hand storage box. Huang Lei counted him down and said: "You can't connect to Bluetooth?

Zhang Yishan looked back at the co-pilot and said with a smile: "Teacher Huang, did you say that Uncle Feng can act? I have never seen him act!"

Huang Lei said with a smile: "Don't say it, maybe it's really good! The director knows best what the director wants." ”

The three of them were talking, and their bones were surging on the elevated shelf, rubbing against the exit with the traffic.

This time the bureau was saved by Wang Zhonglei, and when Cao Ping was in Taiwan, he called and asked him to come back for dinner together, but it was just in time for such a matter as hospitalization, so it was delayed to today. The reason why I saved such a game is actually for a movie.

Although the food in various places has been captured by hot pot, the mutton shabu, which is the representative of the old Beijing cuisine, still has a large number of lovers. And if you want to eat old Beijing mutton shabu, it is natural that the dishes of Donglaishun are authentic, and this store in Xizhimen is the most authentic one among all Donglaishun branches in Beijing.

When Cao Ping and the three of them arrived, there was already a circle of people sitting in the box, and they swept their eyes, and it could almost be said that they were half of the entertainment industry. Wang Zhonglei deliberately asked for the largest 20-person box that could fit two tables, so that it could be enough to sit. Before the food was served, the big guys were all sitting on the sofa in the rest area, and those who had no place also pulled up chairs and sat together, almost like stars and moons, surrounding the three people in the middle - Wang Zhonglei, Feng Xiaogang and Guan Hu.

In the high-pressure profession of an artist, just a matter of staying up late is enough to knock down any strong man who claims to be able to endure hardships. Therefore, there are few people in the entertainment industry who don't smoke, and when Cao Ping and the three of them entered, they were choked by the rich cigar flavor first.

"Cao Ping, here, come and sit!" Seeing Cao Ping come in, Wang Zhonglei stretched out his hand to greet him.

There are only five seats on the sofa, Wang Zhonglei and Feng Xiaogang each sit on a single sofa, and Guan Hu, Zhang Hanyu and Xu Qing sit on the couch, which is already full. Seeing this, Cao Ping stretched out his hand to pull up the chair, but Wang Zhonglei stretched out his hand to greet him and said, "Come and sit here." "Did he mean to get himself on the couch?

This is the case with China's wine table culture, and in many cases, the difference in status can be seen in the arrangement of seats. In the case of scarcity of sofas, then the position of the sofa naturally becomes a symbol of social status. Wang Zhonglei said that he wanted to talk about the shooting of a new movie, and Cao Ping thought that he was looking for himself to make a cameo appearance, but the current situation does not seem to be so simple? In just a short moment, Cao Ping has seen many clues. Who got up to give way to his seat? And what was the reason for asking himself to sit over? In an instant, the thoughts that were scurrying in his mind turned around and analyzed all the questions, and Cao Ping already had a vague answer. After coming back to his senses, Cao Ping was a little surprised when he had so many extra fancy intestines, how could he figure out what other people were thinking? Without thinking too much, he smiled and let go of the hand holding the stool and walked towards the sofa.

At the moment, the people sitting on the chairs are also famous characters in the circle, Liu Hua, who has portrayed the classic character Brother Dao in "Crazy Stone", Zhang Yi, who became popular with "Soldier Assault", Lian Yiming, a famous action director and martial arts instructor in the circle, Liang Jing, the wife of the director, who is also a famous actor, and Li Yifeng, a little fresh meat...... There was no one chatting together, and Cao Ping also saw a familiar figure in it, which was actually Shang Yuxian, his classmate of Beiying, who was also sitting on the side, looking at Cao Ping in surprise.

Nodding lightly at her, Cao Ping walked past everyone and walked towards the sofa, while Huang Lei and Zhang Yishan pulled chairs to chat with Zhang Yi. Cao Ping walked over, Director Feng spoke, and said to Xu Qing: "Qing'er, you go to my car and bring my starling, I don't worry about other people's hands." "This meaning is already obvious, Cao Ping is here, Xu Qing has to move the nest. Although everyone knew what it meant, Feng Xiaogang gave her enough steps, so she didn't say anything, and went out with the car keys in response.

Cao Ping was not polite, and sat in the position she had just now, and he already knew what he was going to talk about today.

In this circle of people, there is also a small circle, that is, Wang Zhonglei and them, who are currently sitting on the sofa, Wang Zhonglei is the investor, Guan Hu is the director, Feng Xiaogang is the male lead actor who has long been known, Xu Qing who went out seems to be the female first, and Zhang Hanyu is an old friend who has been mixed with Wang Zhonglei and Feng Xiaogang since the beginning of filming New Year films, and Cao Ping enters this circle, what he needs to pay is obvious.

"You're Cao Ping, I've heard Lao Wang mention you......" Feng Xiaogang took a puff of his cigar and said.

Cao Ping suppressed the action of wanting to get up, but instead stretched out his hands to shake Feng Xiaogang's hand, and said, "Hello Director Feng, I love to watch your movies, I have watched every one of them." ”

After saying hello to Director Feng, he naturally wanted to say hello to a few others, stretched out his right hand and shook Guan Hu's hand, Cao Ping said with a smile: "Director Guan, I haven't seen such a good TV series as your "Survival Migrant Workers" for a long time. Guan Hu is a tall man of more than one meter and eight meters, but when he laughs, he looks harmless to humans and animals, and he said with a smile: "You're welcome." ”

Zhang Hanyu is a handsome uncle full of manliness, and before Cao Ping stretched out his hand, he took the initiative to reach out and shake Cao Ping, saying, "Congratulations on winning the award!"

"Luck, luck. Cao Ping said modestly, as for the others who didn't care about greeting one by one, Cao Ping nodded apologetically at everyone and said hello.

"Come?" Feng Xiaogang handed over his inventory, Cao Ping was not polite, took one and picked up a match to roast his tobacco feet.

"Where are you from?" asked Director Feng.

Cao Ping turned the cigar and let the flame burn evenly at the foot of the cigarette, and slowly lit it, while replying: "Shaanxi, ancestral home is in Anhui." ”

"Oh...... Then you don't have an accent?" Director Feng was like coming out to have a casual meal, and he was not in a hurry to speak, but his aura was very strong, and Cao Ping could feel that almost everyone present had paid some attention to him, but his posture was still leisurely.

This is the case with China's dinner culture, since you have invited you to eat, it means that things have not reached the point of burning your eyebrows, so you can leave the conversation to the dinner table and say, as long as the food does not come up, everyone will talk and wait for the dishes to be served.

Director Feng is already the top director of domestic commercial films, and Wang Zhonglei is also the second leader of the largest private entertainment company in China, and this circle can already be said to be the top circle in the industry. Although it was a little sudden, Cao Ping was still calm and relaxed, modest and polite, and appropriately showed some humility and temperament. Even if he didn't mention a word, he clearly knew that he should enter this circle as an investor at present, and to make commercial films, capital is naturally king, and if the attitude is too low, it will only make people look down on him.

Cao Ping: They were the last wave of people, and after they arrived, the back kitchen began to prepare for serving. Donglaishun is a large cloisonne copper pot, there are many of them, so they are divided into two tables, the sofa seat of the main discussion of the five people and Xu Qing, Liu Hua, Liang Jing, screenwriter Dong Runnian, art designer Yang Haoyu sat at one table, and the others sat at another table.

What I'm going to talk about today is actually very simple, that is, film investment, originally the investment in the entire film was made by Huayi, and the distribution was also taken from Huayi, but Wang Zhonglei pulled Cao Ping in, which means that he should be given a chance to enter, and it is also a ticket to enter the top circle of the industry. Without hesitation, Cao Ping directly promised an investment of 100 million yuan, which was not enough to continue to add.

This is a commercial movie, the only difficulty is that the script has been reviewed, this piece of Guan Hu has been done, and the rest is the easiest problem of taking money to shoot. None of the people here are short of money, even if Wang Zhonglei doesn't invest, Feng Xiaogang can invest in making a movie. This movie has enough gimmicks, and a discerning person can see that it can't be lost, and all parties want to enter, but this circle is Huayi's circle, and others can't get in. Therefore, to get this investment opportunity, Cao Ping wants to inherit Wang Zhonglei's favor.

That's all I really want to talk about, and after three or two sentences of hard work, the dinner will return to a normal situation. The people who came were all the people who were determined by the crew to participate, and everyone took this opportunity to get to know each other if they didn't know each other, and they got close to each other, and soon they staggered.

When drinking, Cao Ping's strength is naturally Cao Ping's strength, and after clearing the customs, he went to another table with the bottle.

The wine table is most afraid of persuading wine, Cao Ping does not have this bad habit, as long as he can clink glasses, no matter what is in the cup, Cao Ping will not refuse, so the pride of drinking suddenly brought the atmosphere on the wine table to the top, the table is full of trouble, and those who can drink and can't drink all come to Cao Ping with a cup to touch. Huang Lei came to be a drunk driver, and Zhang Yishan is also his own person, and he knows the amount of alcohol like Cao Ping's wine tank, so he doesn't look for Cao Ping to drink at all. Therefore, Cao Ping was a pair of eight, and he was stunned until no one dared to serve the cup again, and then returned to his table.

After returning to his seat, Guan Hu said to him with a smile: "Director Feng and I also said that your image is quite suitable for the villain No. 1 in the play, Zhong Lei said that you are also acting, how about it?

Cao Ping was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Okay! Am I bringing money into the group?"

"You're even bringing people into the group. Feng Xiaogang made a joke, turned his head and asked Guan Hu, "Then everything is ready, when will it be turned on?" Director?"

Guan Hu thought for a while and said, "Then how about this Saturday?"
