Huayu: Hard fight against Zhang Weiping at the beginning

Chapter 147 Little Feet Under the Table

After drinking, Zhang Chen suddenly approached Lao Li: "Lao Li, have you invested in other projects recently?"

Hearing Zhang Chen's words, Lao Li smiled bitterly: "How dare we invest casually? We have invested in four movies before, two comedies and two horror movies..."

"Alas~" Lao Li shook his head. "The little profit from Dark Invasion was basically lost. It's just like what you said before."

Old Li sighed a lot. He and Zhang Chen's father were friends, so they were not restrained when talking to each other.

Zhang Chen thought this was normal.

He had reminded Lao Li very early on that the film industry was extremely xenophobic.

Filmmaking is a circle game.

Why is it called circle game?

Even if you want to join the circle, you can't find the temple door even with a pig's head.

If no one leads you in, you'll be cheated.

Even if you are in the circle, you will be taught a lesson by those who are more familiar with the rules of the game.

Hollywood is a living example of this, cheating those rich Germans to the point of vomiting blood.

The situation in Hong Kong and the Mainland is not much better.

The Hong Kong team, relying on their better understanding of how the market works, blatantly cheated mainland film and television companies out of their money.

Both Star Media and Bona have been cheated.

They should be thankful that it is no longer the 1970s or 1980s and there are no longer any big circles.

Not all people in the mainland are good people. Coal bosses, iron ore bosses, Wenzhou businessmen, and even Internet companies have all been cheated.

No matter who you are, if you rashly enter this circle, you will have to pay tuition.

In fact, the reason is very simple. Whoever masters the more advanced rules of the game will win everything.

But Lao Li suddenly changed the subject: "Our Xingchen Entertainment is still good, and is willing to take us to play. We invested in "Dark Raid 2" and we also invested 20% in "Wulin Waijiao". If Director Zhang's new film needs funds, we can continue to invest..."

Everyone in the industry knows that Zhang Chen is now a famous brand. The two movies he has filmed since his debut not only made money, but also made huge profits.

Investing in Zhang Chen’s movies now is equivalent to picking up money.

Although he doesn't know what the future of the TV series will be, Lao Li has already identified Zhang Chen. As long as Zhang Chen needs it, he will invest even if he loses money, just to maintain their relationship.

Mr. Li also told him the same thing.

Zhang Chen was stunned, then looked at Dong Jianqiang, who was drinking and didn't hear what they were saying at all.

While Old Li was still expressing his gratitude, Zhang Chen suddenly felt something strange in his calf.

Under the table, there was clearly a foot rubbing his calf.

I can feel that the technique is very unfamiliar.

Zhang Chen glanced at Yang Xiaomi next to him inconspicuously. Yang Xiaomi was listening to Lao Li talk about how he was cheated and asked questions from time to time, as if she had nothing to do with this matter.

But judging from the angle, it could only be Yang Xiaomi.

Perhaps feeling Zhang Chen's gaze, Yang Xiaomi gave him a meaningful look.

Now it was finally confirmed that it was Yang Stinky Feet.

But, your nickname is Yang Stinky Feet, and you rubbed my feet with your feet. Aren’t you afraid of infecting me?

Yang Xiaomi appears calm on the surface, but she is actually feeling quite ashamed.

Although I have been on film sets since I was a child and am used to seeing this kind of thing, this is the first time I have actually done it.

"I'm not embarrassed, I'm not embarrassed~"

She kept reminding herself.

Zhang Chen is now a popular billionaire director in China. Being associated with her means getting on the fast track, and the boost to your career is indescribable.

Looking at the anxious Wang Luodan beside her, Yang Xiaomi became more determined in her thoughts.

Wang Luodan’s agent must have told her, so she was anxious to ruin her own good fortune.

Then I think about my agent, he is totally unreliable and I can only rely on myself miserably.

Fortunately, Chen Xi helped her.

As for whether there are any hidden rules or not, she doesn't care at all.

In the entertainment industry, as long as you are thick-skinned enough and willing to take risks, you will get a chance sooner or later.

Having been in the entertainment industry since she was a child, Yang Xiaomi knew that these things now were not even considered unspoken rules, but at most tickets. She was now seeking to be unspoken, but Zhang Chen had to be willing.

On the other side, Wang Luodan finally got his chance.

When Zeng Liren went to the toilet, Wang Luodan decisively moved to the other side of Zhang Chen and finally found an opportunity.

Then, Zhang Chen felt a small foot rubbing his left leg.

What is this doing?
Group seduction?
Zhang Chen couldn't help but look in the direction of Wang Luodan. The latter's face was so red from embarrassment that blood seemed to be dripping out, but he didn't stop what he was doing under the table.

Zhang Chen really wanted to say stop, because he really felt a tearing feeling, a tearing feeling caused by Ge You's teasing.

That's it!

Zhang Chen retracted his legs and made his position clear with practical actions.

The two mischievous little feet consciously retracted.

It's easy to guess why these two people are like this.

Alas, this is the entertainment industry.

It is indeed heaven~
Clearing his throat pretentiously, Zhang Chen suddenly said, "I will be making a new movie after the New Year, called "The Accidental Murderer", and there is a character of a daughter in it..."

Before he finished speaking, the two people on his left and right said in unison: "Director Zhang, do you think I'm suitable?"

Zhang Chen looked at the two expectant smiling faces on his left and right, and finally gave up on Sister Ge. He really couldn't imagine himself and Ge You rolling around in bed.

"Let's go with Yang Xiaomi. Her image is more suitable. Chen Xi, remember that the role of An An will be played by Yang Xiaomi."

"Okay, boss." Chen Xi agreed readily, but the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily.

What I mean is, what do you think, sisters, I’ll give you my support.

After hearing this, Yang Xiaomi, who was standing next to him, was so excited that she wanted to wave her fist, and kept saying thank you, and did not forget to give Chen Xi a grateful look.

Sister Chenxi, you are this.

Yang Xiaomi secretly gave a thumbs up.

Zeng Li came back just at this time, and even though Wang Luodan was unwilling, he had to give up his seat.

But my heart was full of doubts. Why did I lose?

If Zhang Chen could hear it, he would definitely reply: What did you lose? You lost because you have a good brother.

At this time, Ning Hao just came back from a drinking contest at another table. He was the director and the protagonist of today's wrap-up party, and he was drunk.

But even though he had drunk a lot, he was still happy, and sat down with a rosy face with the help of Xing Aina.

"Eat something quickly~" Xing Aina looked at Ning Hao with a distressed look on her face.

Zhang Chen also said: "Yes, hurry up and eat some food."

The worst thing about drinking is drinking on an empty stomach, as it will be absorbed quickly.

But it won’t taste good if you drink it after you’re full.

Zhang Chen asked Xing Aina again, "Sister Na, how is your script for Big Diamond going? After Black 2, are you going to put it on the agenda?"

That’s right, Zhang Chen was asking about Crazy Stone.

Xing Aina nodded when she heard this: "It's almost done. We've already revised it several times, but Ning Hao said we won't shoot it yet."

"Don't shoot first? Why?"

Zhang Chen thought his butterfly wings had affected something, and then he heard Ning Hao say, "Chenzi, I heard you're going to Hollywood soon~"

"Yes, I have a film contract with New Line~"

"Can I go with you~?"

?

"I want to see how the Hollywood crew works~"

It turned out to be because of this.

"Of course you can. Not only you, but Song Xiaofei has to go too. I plan to let him direct the next movie, 'Manslaughter'. It's a good opportunity to get used to each other in advance."

……

That's all for today, let's go drink
