Chapter 9 Rejection
The big old man considered more about Zhou Xingchi's golden signboard. He hoped that Zhou Xingchi could continue to tie it to the carriage of Light.
Chen Lin held back and did not complain!
Haha, so naive.
How could a person like Zhou Xingchi kneel down and call him a little brother because of your personality charm?
He judged himself, ‘I love money so much!’
Originally, space-time, light is the largest investor in "Mermaid", accounting for 40% of all investments.
Originally, Xingchi signed a guaranteed 1.6 billion yuan contract.
"The Mermaid" was a big box office success, and Light became the biggest winner. It didn't take Zhou Xingchi to sue the court. Da Lao Wang automatically subsidized nearly 200 million yuan in box office dividends.
It's enough to give face!
As a result, the largest investor in "Journey to the West" was replaced by Alibaba Pictures.
The reason is very simple. Alibaba Pictures is rich and powerful. Zhou Xingchi will definitely have greater benefits when cooperating with them. Since that is the case, why should we cooperate with Light?
Since Alibaba’s father entered the entertainment industry, every step has been earth-shaking!
The simplest example is "The Ferryman", a romantic film that actually cost 400 million yuan!
Damn, a simple romance film costs as much as 400 million!
Do you think it is "Titanic"?
Joining forces with Chai Zhiping to create five movies in five years - Alibaba is really getting too much money, Chai Zhiping can only watch "Meteor Garden"!
The work of investing in the King of Sunglasses on a large scale - the famous King of Sunglasses has been circulating for a long time, and one piece is lost!
In short, Alibaba’s strategy is to use the most expensive people!
Where can Lao Wang get the courage to compete for jobs with Alibaba?
"Mr. Wang, you should give up Zhou Xingchi. Although this person has a good audience, I admit that he can create more wealth, but once money is involved, what can we fight against Ali?"
"Oh! I'll think about it again..."
Wang Changtian hung up the phone.
Chen Lin curled his lips.
I really didn’t expect that Comrade Lao Wang was so childish!
"You finished the phone?"
"What's wrong?"
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Liying came over.
"…Baby called me just now and said he wanted to treat us to a meal."
"Then let's go!"
Chen Lin doesn’t care about it, isn’t it just a meal?
"She said Huang Xiaoming would be there too."
"How normal, they are husband and wife."
As he spoke, Chen Lin changed into a clean white shirt, picked up a cup of white water, and took a sip.
"She also said..."
"What did you say?"
Liying suddenly felt a little hesitant, and didn't know why.
"She said Zhao Junqi would also be there!"
"Puff! Walter? Zhao Junqi?"
Chen Lin sprayed directly and couldn't help asking again: "Are you sure it's Zhao Junqi?"
"Um."
Zhao Liying's face was also a bit strange.
Huang Xiaoming has a crush on Zhao Junqi, which is well known to the whole network, and Baby is Huang Xiaoming's wife.
The former goddess lives in the same room with her current wife!
Brother Xiao Ming is so amazing!
"Haha, I really want Wendi Deng to go with him, let him carry the camera and capture close-ups of Huang Xiaoming."
Chen Lin smiled and joked.
"Hmph, what you said is like how honest you are..."
Zhao Liying has some meaning.
“…Let’s go, don’t be late.”
...
Chen Lin led Zhao Liying to the hotel Baby mentioned.
It is a very small private restaurant, but after entering, it is a unique world. Whether it is the decoration or the quality of the waiter is beyond the reach of an ordinary star hotel.
"Please beside you two."
Under the guidance of the waiter, the couple came to a private room and opened the door. Huang Xiaoming, Baby and Zhao Junqi were all sitting inside. By the way, there was also a person who was very surprised by Chen Lin, Liu Jialing!
It just so happened that Huang Xiaoming was talking to Zhao Junqi back then, and Liu Jialing interrupted from time to time, while Baby kept smiling stiffly and looked at the three of them.
"Director Chen, Liying, you are here."
Yang Ying's face changed quickly and immediately turned into a smile.
"Sister Zhao, Sister Jialing, Brother Xiaoming, Baby."
After Chen Lin and Zhao Liying took her seat, she started cooking.
"This private dish is the most famous in Beijing. I heard that his ancestors were the supervisor of the imperial kitchen, so the chef is very good. I order a few signature dishes and let's try it."
The one who spoke was Zhao Junqi.
Chen Lin looked at Huang Xiaoming and Baby a little strangely. It seemed that this time the treat was not the idea of these two people.
"By the way, I haven't congratulated Director Chen on winning the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and Zhao Liying won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress, and won glory for the country! Come on, let's clink the cup!"
After putting down the cup, Chen Lin and Zhao Liying looked at each other, and both of them were a little surprised.
The young couple had no intersection with Zhao Junqi.
The more enthusiastic the comrades of the military flag are, the more they feel a little nervous.
What is this guy doing this for?
He also called Liu Jialing over to accompany him?
Zhao Junqi was also very patient, and the reason why he never mentioned the banquet at the dinner table was Zhao Liying.
Finally, after drinking and eating, Zhao Junqi spoke: "Director Chen, I have always wanted to prove my acting skills. I wonder if I have the chance to join your movie?"
Finally I understand, I want to act in a movie together!
"I have three projects this year. "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" is a man's drama, and the actress's swing space is very small; "The Magic City" is a group drama, and the actress's swing space is very large. Unfortunately, there are not many shots, so there is really no project suitable for Sister Zhao."
Chen Lin refused directly.
"What about the third movie? I heard that the third movie was what you were going to use to hit the Oscars?"
"The third part is a musical and dance film, "La La Land". I plan to use all Western actors, after all, musical and dance films have never had a market in China."
Chen Lin’s statement is reasonable and well-founded, but his intention is obvious: Don’t think about it!
Zhao Junqi is over thirty years old and can't play the role of Xiaoyanzi from that time. In fact, the mother in "The Demon City" is very suitable for her, but Chen Lin suspected that the sisters could not play the role they wanted, so she should leave it to Qin Hailu or Hao Lei.
Zhao Junqi's acting skills are really not very good. Except for "Dear", she can tell a little about her attentiveness, the rest of her feelings are all at the level of being played out.
Whether it is "Tiger Mom and Cat Dad" or "Hong Kong Embarrassment", I really don't think there is any acting skills!
"…Let's do this, Director Chen, since I can't star in it, can I invest in your new project?"
Zhao Junqi still didn't give up. Since he couldn't get the trophy, he would make money!
Anyway, Chen Lin’s movies basically have no possibility of losing money!
"Haha, Sister Zhao, all of these three projects have been confirmed. Our company only accounts for 30% of the investment share. If I nod, what should other companies do?"
Chen Lin smiled but refused.
"Grave Robbers" has five production companies jointly invested and produced. The project of "La La Land" is also promoted by the touchstone. In other words, "The Magic City" has just been established and there are very few people who know about it for the time being, so there is no investor.
Chen Lin said it very tactfully, but the meaning is obvious, "Why should I take you to play?"
"Director Chen, sometimes one more friend is better than one more enemy!"
Chapter completed!
