Chapter 239: A Close Friendship
ding dong...

A text message came.

It was already the next day when Yang Mi's text message finally arrived.

"She is fading away in the Jade Hall in her beauty and beauty, while I am blooming alone in my bamboo hut in the cold. Meeting you is her luck, and it is also my luck. You said that the two plants will bloom differently in different places, but I believe they will bloom in the same way. We first met at Fengling Ferry, and the first sight of Yang Guo ruined my life. Guo Xiang is like this, and Yang Mi is no exception. But I am luckier than Guo Xiang, because her big brother is always just a big brother, and he only has Little Dragon Girl in his eyes. My big brother, besides his Little Dragon Girl, also has Yang Mi in his heart."

Liu Jing edited a paragraph and then deleted it.

Rewrite it and delete it again.

This happened three times, and then another text message came.

It was still Yang Mi. Compared to the previous long post, this one was very short. "Good night! My boy, you are even more dazzling at the age of 19."

Liu Jing let out a sigh of relief and said, "Forget it, I'll just pretend to be asleep and talk about it tomorrow."

He put his phone aside and closed his eyes.

I tossed and turned, but couldn't fall asleep.

"Hey! Mu Tou, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Min was half asleep and was woken up by Liu Jing.

"It's okay, go to sleep." Liu Jing responded.

"Well! If you're still not satisfied, go find Yang Mi. She's the only one in Yandu..." Zhang Min was in a daze, but her words were quite coherent.

Xixi is filming "Nine-Tailed Fox" in Korea, Gao Yuanyuan is filming "The Third Man" in Qingdao, Tang Yan is recording a music video in Shanghai, and Fan Xiaopang is promoting "The Warring States"...

Only Yang Mi was in Yandu, following her elder brother's arrangements, attending classes well, and filming during the holidays.

Liu Jing secretly praised himself, thinking that he was such a good boy. He had had sex with only five women.

I am also the second generation, and I really bring shame to my second generation friends.

Zhang Min, Gao Yuanyuan, Yang Mi, Tang Yan, and Fan Xiaopang, these five people kept circling in his mind.

As for the others, those without official status do not count.

"I'm thinking of a script, not..."

Liu Jing shut up, Zhang Min turned over and fell asleep again.

She was sleeping soundly, and Liu Jing was even more sleepless when he heard that she was going to find Yang Mi.

ding dong...

The pleasant sound of text messages is like the flowing of spring water.

"Haha, Yang Mi, ah Yang Mi, you must be suffering from insomnia too." Liu Jing picked up the phone, it was not Yang Mi, but Xixi, the message was very stupid.

Xixi: "I am afraid that there are too many blessings today and you will not see my greetings. I am afraid that today is too noisy and you will not hear my blessings. I am afraid that today's dishes are too fragrant and you will not smell me. So, I choose to wish you a happy birthday now."

Liu Jing remained silent for a long time. He wondered where the text message was adapted from. It looked so familiar.

Xixi added another message, "Night owl, you must not have slept. I stayed up until now just to be the last one to wish you a happy birthday. I won't compete with Yang Mi for the first place, she uses her hands for playing games. I'll be the last one, hahahaha, I'm so smart."

It’s Yang Mi again. Today would be meaningless without Yang Mi, right?

Liu Jing replied, "You idiot, it's 1am in the morning in Yandu, are you sending me birthday wishes for next year?"

Xixi replied after two minutes, "Oh my god, I'm such a fool. I forgot that the time on my phone was in Yandu time zone, so I calculated it according to Korean time. It's one o'clock Korean time, but it's midnight where you are. Woohoo, I've made it this far, please forgive me..."

Liu Jing chuckled. He even remembered to pay attention to the time zone, but unfortunately he calculated it wrong.

He quickly responded, "You are a pig. One o'clock in Korea time is equal to two o'clock here. They are one hour ahead of here, not one hour behind."

Xixi replied quite slowly this time, and Liu Jing guessed that she was adjusting the time zone of her phone.

After a while, she sent a message, "Don't tell anyone, good night."

"Good night."

Liu Jing murmured and sent it to Xixi, to Yang Mi, and also gave this blessing to himself.

"Hmm!" Zhang Min turned over, leaned into Liu Jing's arms, and murmured.

Holding one in my arms, chatting with one in my hands, and thinking of one in my heart.

"I have to grab it with both hands and both hands have to be strong. I seem to be a bit of a scumbag." Liu Jing muttered a few words and fell asleep smoothly.

Zhang Min muttered again, frowned, and held on tightly.

Liu Jing slept soundly and dreamlessly that night.

The biological clock woke up on time, and Yang Mi's bond skills were quietly generated in her sleep.

【Bond: Yang Mi】

【Level; Level 1】

【Fame value: 63】

【Favourability: 90】

[Entertainment spirit: 12564/90000]

[Bond Skill: Golden sworn brotherhood. When you two become a couple in a production, the entertainment energy rewarded by the fine play will be settled separately.]

Liu Jing was stunned. How could it be done this way?

He and Yang Mi co-starred in a movie, which grossed 100 million yuan.

He is the director, with a reward coefficient of 1, and can get 0.9 points of entertainment energy. Yang Mi is the first female lead, with a reward coefficient of , and can get points of entertainment energy.

If he didn't have this skill, then after the movie ended, Liu Jing could only get the maximum number, which is 100,000 points of entertainment energy.

With this skill, Liu Jing can obtain 190,000 points of entertainment energy.

After Liu Jing figured it out, he was quite happy, as it was equivalent to adding half of the bond.

He was so focused on the separate settlements that he ignored the crew members and the technical aspects of the fine play.

It is easy to shoot a movie, but it is not easy to make it a masterpiece. The right time, place and people are all essential.

The domineering president was like a kitten, hiding in his arms. Liu Jing climbed the mountain and forgot about his elder brother.

Zhang Min was awakened by a slight pain in her chest. She looked at the traces on the snowy mountain and slapped Liu Jing.

"You didn't drink enough milk when you were a child, right?" Zhang Min rubbed her chest angrily.

"What's wrong?" Liu Jing was at a loss.

"Look for yourself." Zhang Min handed it to Liu Jing. What happened last night, midnight, and this morning were all clear in his mind. They were all evidence of his guilt.

Liu Jing was not polite at all when he brought food to him early in the morning.

Zhang Min was originally looking for trouble, and was soon taught a lesson twice.

Getting up early and exercising is beneficial to your physical and mental health.

The overlapping hills are covered with golden lights, and the clouds in my hair are about to cover the snow on my cheeks. I am too lazy to draw my eyebrows, and I am too late to put on my makeup and wash.

Liu Jing steamed a bowl of egg custard and personally brought it to the bedside as the elder sister had some difficulty walking.

"You know that John Woo is going to make a blockbuster movie, right?" After eating and drinking, Zhang Min started talking about business.

"He is going to shoot the Battle of Red Cliffs. The preparation for this drama started two years ago and it has been two years and is still in progress. I heard that the investment is not small and no one dares to invest. After two years of waiting, Lao Han finally came. Lao Han wants to make a blockbuster, which is exactly what he wants." As an insider, Liu Jing had naturally heard about it.

"Yes! China Film Group has signed a financing and distribution agreement with Lion Rock. Lao Han said that no matter how much money is invested, he will fully support the filming of the movie. Taiwan's Central, Japan's Avex, South Korea's Showbox, and Orange Sky have all followed suit. China Film Group asked me if our Spring Airlines should invest some. I heard that they have also contacted Eagle King, Jinyingma and Bona, and they are willing to invest." Zhang Min got up from the bed, hissed softly, and walked slowly around the room.

Below the Lion Rock is a company founded by John Woo in the United States, in partnership with Nick Cheung.

Among all the Chinese directors, this one is the most successful in Hollywood.

Unfortunately, that was in the past. Now he has returned to China to film.

"You've looked for so many companies, how much are you planning to invest?" Liu Jing was very curious.

"Even though we prepared 80 million and found so many companies, the funds were still not enough. In the end, Standard Chartered Bank provided the funds no matter how much was shortfall." Zhang Min sighed. "Assembly also invested 80 million. Huayi found two companies and the money was taken out. This so-called blockbuster doesn't seem to work either." Liu Jing laughed.

"US dollars." Zhang Min chuckled.

"Uh! I think it's better not to invest. An investment of 500 to 600 million yuan will require a box office of more than 1 billion yuan to break even. With the current market conditions, unless there is a market in North America, you will definitely lose everything." Liu Jing shook his head.

"China Film Corporation has issued a hero invitation, so we should invest some money. Besides, someone wants to push Zhao Yanzi to play the leading female role, but I won't let her do so." Zhang Min looked disdainful.

She and Zhao Yanzi had some disputes. Wang Dashao had pursued Zhang Min in the past. After Zhao Yanzi and Wang Dashao got together, she did not hesitate to spread some negative information about Zhang Min.

The two have broken up now, but Zhang Min and her still have a grudge against each other.

"Who is the heroine?" Liu Jing asked.

"Sun Shangxiang, how about it? Familiar, right? You said I should let Qianqian compete for the female lead, what do you think?" Zhang Min was very interested.

"Not very good, what a weird idea." Liu Jing said disdainfully. Sister Li had played this role before, so Xixi would definitely not be willing to do so.

"Haha, Sister Li is known as the most beautiful Sun Shangxiang. Her daughter is going to play Sun Shangxiang. This is a sign of inheritance. Netizens will definitely support it. I am taking a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, I am making suggestions as an investor, and on the other hand, I am inciting... silk..." Zhang Min laughed so hard that her movements were so exaggerated that she couldn't help but cry out in pain twice.

"She may not be willing." Liu Jing was tempted. With an investment of 600 million yuan, even if the box office is not ideal, he should be able to make 600 million yuan.

If Xixi became the heroine, she would get a huge entertainment reward of hundreds of thousands.

“It’s hard to say. Sun Shangxiang has a lot of fighting scenes, and Qianqian likes to play the role of a female knight and a warrior the most.” Zhang Min said with a smile.

"How much are you prepared to invest? What are the configurations of this play?" Liu Jing was completely tempted.

"I'm going to invest 10 million RMB, of course. We don't want to be taken advantage of and can't afford that much USD. In addition, we will provide support at the internal price for costumes and makeup. This way, we can have more say in the crew." Zhang Min moved slowly, took out a document from the bag on the table, and handed it to Liu Jing, "This is what I received the day before yesterday, you can take a look at it yourself. I have to go put on makeup for my flight at noon."

"Are you in such a hurry? Are you healthy enough?" Liu Jing said worriedly.

"You are quite experienced. It seems that you have done a lot of experiments on Fat Fan. I didn't suffer much." Zhang Min curled her lips. She didn't know what those foreign women were thinking. They were all really perverted.

"Chow Yun Fat plays Zhou Yu, Leung Chiu-wai plays Zhuge Liang, and Lin Chi-ling plays Xiao Qiao. Wow, it's hard for such a tall girl to act with Chow Yun-fat. Tim Yip is in charge of art design and costume design, Zhang Li is the director of photography, Zhang Jinzhan is the executive director, and Taro Iwashiro is in charge of composing the music..."

Liu Jing flipped through the information and was secretly surprised. It was indeed comparable to a Hollywood blockbuster. Just looking at the cast and the fact that it was based on the Three Kingdoms, the box office would not be low.

In the Chinese cultural circle, especially in Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea, the Three Kingdoms theme is still very popular and has a large market.

The information Zhang Min gave was very thick. She packed her luggage and prepared to leave for the airport, but Liu Jing had not finished reading it yet.

She refused Liu Jing's offer to send her to the airport. There was a driver to pick her up, so why bother the little man?

Liu Jing read until noon before he finished reading the information.

Today is the weekend, so I don’t have to go to class.

Liu Jing's motorcycle was still at Sister Li's place, so he stopped by to have a meal.

Teacher An took the old man and the old lady to travel to BJ, and only Sister Li was at home packing her luggage.

She will fly to Hong Kong tomorrow to deal with the acquisition of Golden Harvest.

Everything has been agreed upon, and we are just waiting for her to go over and sign and hand over the documents.

After dinner, Liu Jing told Sister Li about the cooperation between Xinsheng Film and Television and Golden Harvest.

After listening to this, Sister Li did not express her opinion, but instead talked about Li Mengdie.

"Li Mengdie..." Sister Li had a complicated expression. She was the last one to know Li Mengdie's identity.

She secretly felt lucky that she found out late, otherwise she would have to help Liu Jing find a wife.

Yang Mi, Liu Shishi, Jing Tian and Yang Yongqing were all arranged by her.

Without her fanning the flames, Liu Jing's relationship with those people wouldn't be so good.

"Her father is very supportive of her career in the entertainment industry and is planning to acquire a Hollywood production company to allow his daughter to show her talents." Liu Jing also sighed.

Back then, he rescued Li Mengdie and tricked her into entering the entertainment industry, with some bad intentions.

Marvel is in crisis and faces bankruptcy again.

Liu Jing wanted to trick Lao Li into investing in Marvel, but unfortunately failed.

But they ignored Marvel and secretly invested in DreamWorks and hooked up with Paramount.

"That's their business, we have no right to interfere. Xinsheng Film and Television wants to sell it to Golden Harvest Holdings. What do you think we should do?" Sister Li asked.

"What is the current value of Xinsheng Film and Television? We will pay as much as we buy shares. We will not take advantage of this." Liu Jing responded.

"The compensation has already been given to Xixi. She invested several million dollars a few months ago, and now it has increased several times. Li Mengdie took the initiative to give up her shares to Jiahe to confirm the compensation." Sister Li sneered.

"She also wants to give away shares for free..."

Sister Li glanced at Liu Jing and said, "What you said is bullshit. How could Golden Harvest acquire Xinsheng Film's shares for free? You think you are a listed company and can do whatever you want with it."

"It's up to you. Anyway, I have brought the message." Liu Jing looked a little embarrassed. Old Li was in a hurry to use money to offset his life-saving grace.

"Didn't Zhang Min want to invest 10 million in "Red Cliff"? Tell her that Chunqiu doesn't need to invest anymore, and Golden Harvest will invest 30 million." Sister Li was flipping through the information that Liu Jing brought.

"You're crazy. With an investment of 30 million, it would be good enough if you can get back half of it in the end." Liu Jing was surprised.

"They made an offer, and I wanted the distribution rights in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia."

Liu Jing was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "You haven't even taken the position of Chairman of the Board of Directors of Jiahe yet, but you have already started to fight for the rights and interests of Jiahe."

"Golden Harvest has been sluggish for a long time and is in a critical condition. It needs a transfusion and drastic measures to stimulate it. I was just racking my brains over how to start three new projects, and this time you've delivered it to my door. Golden Harvest has invested in Xinsheng Pictures, which is in turn a shareholder of CJ, SM and DreamWorks. Holding shares in Xinsheng is an indirect entry into the Korean market, and this is the first step. Red Cliff is a blockbuster with an investment of 600 million yuan, and Golden Harvest can participate in it and get the distribution rights, and this is the second step." Sister Li was in high spirits and radiant as she paced in the living room.

"What about the third fire? The cinema chain?" Liu Jing asked.

"That's right! The third fire is precisely the mainland cinema chains. Golden Harvest has teamed up with Spring and Autumn Annals to enter the mainland cinema chain market. With these three fires, Golden Harvest's stock will continue to rise. Even if "Red Cliff" loses money, that will be two years later. It doesn't matter if the 30 million is lost. If the stock price goes up a little, it will not be 30 million anymore." Sister Li clapped her hands.

"Lion Rock intends to sell the distribution rights of Hong Kong to Meiya. Zhang Jiazhen and Meiya have an old friendship." Liu Jing poured cold water on him.

"Intentioned? That means the contract hasn't been signed yet, so everything is subject to change. Golden Harvest is still Golden Harvest, and this brand is more famous than Meiya. Many mainland and Hong Kong and Taiwan filmmakers want to laugh at us. But there are also some people who don't want Golden Harvest to go bankrupt. Golden Harvest's legacy is richer than you and I can imagine. I'm not referring to those shabby cinemas or those scrap metal, but this brand." Sister Li smiled slightly, and was very glad that she acted early, and even more glad that she chose the right time.

"How does Jiahe plan to change its blood?" Liu Jing asked.

"Employees have to be replaced, equipment has to be replaced, and concepts have to be changed. Replacing the three fires when they are burning the hottest can minimize the losses. All discordant voices will be drowned out by the raging fire," explained Sister Li.

"You're not afraid of burning Jiahe to death." Liu Jing said with a smile.

"It's just a few hundred million. It's better than throwing it away."

"Jiahe's money may not be enough."

"Expand the share capital to raise funds and take the opportunity to replace the shareholders."

"It's enough if you have a plan in mind. Just tell me what you need me to do and I'll do it wherever you point me." Liu Jing sighed. After these years of experience, his aunt, Zhang Min and Sister Li have become more capable than the other.

With these three people leading the way, Liu Jing has more time and energy to earn entertainment money.

"Wow! It's rare that you say it so readily. I've arranged a musical for you and Xixi." Sister Li took out a piece of information and handed it to Liu Jing.

"What a joke, you know my weight. I'm not afraid of any movie, but let's forget about the musical." Liu Jing refused.

"This was handed over by Kangmei's planning department. It's more of an advertising video than a musical. It tells the love story of the two founders of Kangmei. I think you two are quite suitable for acting. It's our own business, you won't refuse, right? Don't worry, you won't be asked to sing the song. You don't have to worry, but I'm afraid of ruining the reputation." Sister Li smiled. The trouble with the landscape love has been resolved, and the next step is to gradually push it to the forefront.

The frog is boiled in warm water. Sooner or later, everyone will urge these two to be together.

"In principle, I agree. Whether Xixi is willing or not, I can't be the head of the family." Liu Jing took the information and flipped through it.

"Aren't you going to Korea? Give these documents to Xixi on your way." Sister Li took out another file bag.

"With her temper... Hey, how did you know I was going to Korea?" Liu Jing looked up suddenly. Did someone tell on me? Who was the traitor?
No! I haven't even bought my plane ticket yet, and I haven't decided when to go.

"I didn't know it just now, but I know it now." Sister Li smiled.

"I... I have something to do, mainly to meet Lee Kun-hee." Liu Jing felt guilty.

"Don't bully Xixi." Sister Li looked gloomy.
