Huayu Chunqiu, starting from being adopted by a fairy mother

Chapter 246 I'm a casual person

Why are all the older sisters jumping out one by one?
To put it bluntly, it all comes down to money.

Jiahe's market value has increased several times, and the money invested in it has also increased several times.

Before Golden Harvest's restructuring, Spring Autumn Film & Television acquired 72% of its shares.

After the restructuring, Spring Airlines' shares were diluted, leaving 43.2%.

The second largest shareholder is Jiamiao Investment, which holds 12% of Jiahe's shares. The company's shareholders include Wang Jing, Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, Vivian Chow, Chingmy Yau, and others.

The third largest shareholder is Qinshi Capital, which holds 10% of Jiahe's shares.

The fourth largest shareholder is Chunhe Asset Management, holding 4% of Golden Harvest's shares. There are many shareholders, mostly employees and artists of Spring Autumn Pictures.

When the company increased its capital and expanded its shares, Zhang Min secured a 50 million yuan share for Chunqiu Film and its various subsidiaries.

Gao Yuanyuan invested eight million yuan, taking the lead in subscribing. Chen Zihan, Li Xiaoran, Zeng Li, and Yan Danchen each invested three million yuan, Bai Bing invested two million yuan, Duan Yihong invested one million yuan, and other artists invested five hundred thousand yuan.

Apart from Tang Yan and Zhou Yang, everyone else contributed funds, with the brokerage department subscribing to 25 million shares.

As for these two, long before rumors of Golden Harvest's acquisition surfaced, they and Yang Mi had already managed to buy Golden Harvest stock. Tang Yan and Zhou Yang bought 500,000 yuan worth, while Yang Mi directly bought 1.5 million yuan worth.

Later, as Jiahe's stock price continued to fall, the three of them did not sell their shares but instead took the opportunity to buy some more.

Even someone as composed as Zeng Li couldn't remain so. In all her years of acting, she'd never made as much as she'd made from the stock market lately.

The resumption of trading in Jiahe shares has stirred up a storm in the capital market, causing quite a stir among investors.

Spring and Autumn Pictures and its branches have greatly improved their cohesion, and have also bound some key personnel together through shared interests.

The film and television industry was further stimulated, with several leading companies accelerating their IPO process, and companies that previously had no intention of going public also starting to contact capital markets one by one.

These were all distant matters to Jing Tian, ​​and her attention was not on them.

She hung up the phone, very happy.

Her friendship with Sister Xixi has gone from a yellow light to a green light.

"There's no need to fight to the death over a womanizer. There's always a way in the future," Jing Tian comforted herself.

Feeling that she had handled things well, she was in a good mood and hummed a Shaanxi folk song as she skipped back to her office.

"My treat. Let's watch 'Curse of the Golden Flower' first, then we'll go to the most expensive restaurant in Kyoto..."

Jing Tian didn't continue speaking because Bai Bing was on the phone.

"Jing-ge's phone call?" Jing Tian asked Liu Shishi in a low voice.

"Hmm. How did you know?" The little lion was surprised; it seemed this phone call was related to Jing Tian.

"No need to guess, judging from Dongdong's expression, it must be her boss." Jing Tian chuckled, then said loudly to Bai Bing, "Dongdong, if Brother Jing comes over, tell him that there's no time for rehearsal tonight, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

"Huh! He's walking this way..." Bai Bing was even more surprised.

A minute ago, the boss told him, "After thinking it over, I realized it wouldn't be right to leave you guys behind. Since the rehearsal is almost over, I'll cancel another appointment and come see you right away."

Bai Bing had nothing to say after the boss said that.

"Sister Xiaoran, Sister Shi, let's go..." Jing Tian held Little Lion's hand with one hand and Li Dabai's hand with the other, not even waiting for Brother Jing to come over.

“Hey, you guys…” Bai Bing shouted.

"Don't forget to lock the door. Once you've dealt with him, call me," Jing Tian replied.

"Boss, you'd better not come." Bai Bing was on the verge of tears; she didn't want to wait here either.

The boss still had a conscience. "I won't go up. You come down too. Take me back to the company first, then go have fun with them. Use my card; you're treating tonight. Don't let Jing Tian spend money."

Liu Jing stood up several women and felt guilty.

He didn't want to come back; he was kicked out of the car by Zeng Li, which is why he came back here.

"This woman is really strange. She kicked me out of the car, but my favorability rating actually increased by three points." Liu Jing sighed. Zeng Li's favorability rating is now 72 points, an increase of six points since the bond was first established.

At three o'clock, I was hugged; at three o'clock, I was kicked off the bus.

He still doesn't quite understand what happened inside the car just now.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Jing immediately tried to think of how to stand Zeng Li up.

"Is something wrong?" Zeng Li asked first.

"I suddenly remembered I still have work to finish. Drop me off downstairs at the office, and I'll come find you after I'm done." Liu Jing needed to go back to the company first, since his car was still parked in the underground garage, and he couldn't very well take a taxi to pick up Qianqian.

"I'll wait for you downstairs. When are you done with your work?" Zeng Li said as she prepared to turn around.

"I..." Liu Jing had a headache. One lie would require ten more to cover it up. "I'll be done with my work tomorrow."

"Liu Jing, are you scared?" Zeng Li suddenly stopped the car, almost causing a collision with the car behind, and honked her horn angrily.

"Ahem, I'm not a casual person," Liu Jing said with an awkward laugh.

"Then you can get out. I'm a casual person." Zeng Li got out of the car, opened the passenger door, and pulled Liu Jing out as well.

Zeng Li looked at Liu Jing, who was standing by the roadside with a blank expression, through the rearview mirror, and felt relieved.

While waiting at a traffic light, she took out a mirror. "Sigh! I'm thirty now, and I'm not as attractive as younger girls. What a jerk! He's completely unsuitable. One phone call from a young girl and he's a total slacker. What a waste of all that effort, such a complete waste..."

I sighed, but also felt a little relieved; after all, he was a good child.

She was indeed prepared to take a nap. She had made money in the stock market and landed the lead role, so she felt that a good reward was worth it.

Sacrifice a sleep, and from now on, the road will be the road, and the bridge will be the bridge.

Liu Jing was unaware of Zeng Li's many thoughts; he was simply puzzled as to why his favorability rating had increased.

He thought that a hug would increase his points by three, but after a night's sleep, Zeng Li witnessed his own strength and his favorability rating skyrocketed.

The fact that they didn't end up sleeping together actually increased their favorability towards each other.

Liu Jing, filled with confusion and dissatisfaction, drove straight to Hongxingwu, where the "Fairy Sister" had been working overtime at the company for the past few days.

There wasn't much to say along the way, because Sisi's phone kept ringing.

One minute he's speaking Korean, the next English, and then his native dialect...

"This shabby place? Jackie Chan is such a big star, inviting us to eat here. He's really shameless. There's even a stinking ditch in the yard. Doesn't he care about attracting flies and mosquitoes?" Liu Jing parked the car and looked at the three-story private restaurant, feeling very annoyed.

What a beautiful night! The older sister took the initiative to invite me out, but Cheng Long ruined it all.

"I treated him to dinner, and I made the reservation." Sisi tried hard to suppress a laugh.

She was also very annoyed, but after seeing Liu Jing's sour face the whole way, her mood gradually improved.

"If you look closely, this restaurant is quite nice. The decor is rustic, and the feng shui is good. The environment is elegant, making it a good place for entertaining guests or giving gifts," Liu Jing replied earnestly.

"It's alright," Sisi said with a smile, "Good thing you changed your tune so quickly." "Wait a minute! Cheng Long gave you a script and asked you to act in a play, why are you treating him to dinner?" Liu Jing suddenly realized something was wrong, his expression suspicious. "That old guy didn't make any unreasonable demands, did he?"

"What are you thinking about?" Sisi punched Liu Jing, already prepared with an explanation, "When we were filming 'Rush Hour,' he took good care of me. When he came to Yandu for dinner, as the hosts, how could we let him treat us?"

"The old guy really can't sit still. The dubbing for 'Rush Hour 3' hasn't even started yet, and he's already making another movie. Three years ago, he came from Hollywood..." Liu Jing rambled on, recounting Jackie Chan's achievements over the past few years.

A few years ago, after Jackie Chan returned from Hollywood, he was either making movies or preparing for them.

First, he filmed "New Police Story," and before that film was even finished, he went on to film "The Myth."

Not long after "The Myth" finished its theatrical run, "Rob-B-Hood" started filming.

As filming for "Rob-B-Hood" wrapped up, "Rush Hour 3" began preparations.

Before Rush Hour 3 was even finished editing, he was already preparing another big-budget production with kung fu as its theme.

Sisi smiled, occasionally chiming in with a few words, and walked toward the reserved private room.

This private restaurant often caters to celebrities, so they weren't too surprised by the two's appearance.

There was another reason for this meal, which Qianqian wouldn't tell Liu Jing.

This story begins two days ago when the executive agent received a notebook. If it had been submitted by someone else, the team would have gone through various reviews, but since it was submitted by Jackie Chan, the agent gave it directly to Sissi.

This is a kung fu movie with a female lead who has many action scenes, and the production team and investors are from Hollywood.

When she filmed "Rush Hour" last time, Sissi had very few action scenes, which she felt was not enough.

She had another chance to play an action heroine in a Hollywood movie, but she didn't tell Sister Li, fearing that Sun Shangxiang's story would repeat itself.

Today, Sisi contacted Cheng Long directly and said she wanted to take on this project.

Cheng Long happened to be in Yandu and wanted to invite Qianqian and Liu Jing to dinner, but Qianqian politely declined.

Just as it was about time to leave work, Jing Tian called and said that Brother Jing had taken Zeng Li to a hotel.

Sisi was furious. "You piece of trash! You're utterly rotten! I'm still in Yandu, Jing Tian is right in front of you, and you're taking other women to a hotel room! You completely disregard us!"

She thought for a moment, then made a phone call to Cheng Long, asking him to treat her older brother to dinner.

Cheng Long was now in a dilemma, as he had plans to meet friends that evening. Qianqian generously said, "Your friends are our friends too, let's all sit together."

Cheng Long laughed and agreed. He loved making friends, the more the better, ideally he would have friends all over the world.

For him, it didn't matter who paid for the meal; no one was short of money. What mattered most was who he ate with.

"Sigh! If all of you were as dedicated as Cheng Long, I could sleep with a smile on my face," Liu Jing concluded.

"You're not as dedicated as him, yet you expect us to be dedicated? Have some shame," Sisi said disdainfully.

Before they arrived, there were only the two of them in the private room, along with a case of Moutai that Liu Jing had brought.

"That's true." Liu Jing accepted the criticism; he was indeed a bit lazy. If this system were in someone else's hands, it would probably be at level four by now.

"Xianzi's surname is actually Zhang, that's really..." Xixi didn't know what to say, feeling that she was being too sensitive.

The first singer Liu Jing helped sign at Red Starwood was Zhang Liangying, the second was Zhang Xiaofei, and the third was Xianzi.

She only learned the day before yesterday that Xianzi's surname was Zhang.

"Zhang is a common surname, the kind that doesn't require formalities. Many celebrities in the entertainment industry have the surname Zhang, such as Jacky Cheung, Leslie Cheung, Jeff Chang, Angela Chang, Cecilia Cheung..." Liu Jingzheng explained, as someone entered the private room.

"Uncle, what brings you here?" Liu Jing asked in surprise.

"Haha, kid, I didn't go to the wrong place, did I?" Li Lianjie laughed and hugged Liu Jing.

"You must have gone to the wrong place," Liu Jing joked.

"Miss Yifei, nice to meet you. Shake hands." Li Lianjie patted Liu Jing on the shoulder and extended his hand to Qianqian.

"Uncle, it's a pleasure to meet you. Call me Sisi." Sisi smiled, then changed the subject, "This isn't our first meeting, Uncle, perhaps you should think about it."

"I need to think about it carefully." Li Lianjie scratched his head. Had he seen him at some event? Anyway, it couldn't be a set visit; he never does set visits.

"That year you filmed 'The Demon Cult Leader' with Sister Min and Mu Tou, and Little Guangzhu was soaking in a wooden tub," Xixi reminded her.

"Hahaha, I remember now, you're that little girl who was watching the little naked pig." Li Lianjie laughed.

Sisi was stunned. "Did I watch it? Good heavens! Am I really that shameless? I don't remember."

"Ahem, uncle, what brings my brother here?" Liu Jing quickly changed the subject.

"I should say, I invited him." Li Lianjie sat down on the stool, picked up his water glass, and took a sip.

"The two male leads in the script, could it be you and him?" Liu Jing was very surprised, as the two had never acted together before.

Both domestically and internationally, countless people hope these two will fight.

No wonder the movie is called "The Forbidden Kingdom," Liu Jing thought he understood.

“Last year, John Fusco was telling his son the story of 'Journey to the West' when he suddenly had an idea to make a kung fu movie that combined Chinese and Western elements. He wrote a script and submitted it to Lionsgate. Lionsgate was also very interested and brought in Rob Minkoff to direct. The Journey to the West theme is very popular in the Chinese-speaking world. Lionsgate wanted to collaborate with a Chinese company to produce the film. Huayi Brothers was looking to enter the Hollywood market, and the two sides hit it off immediately.” Li Lianjie quickly explained to the two enthusiastic listeners before the other guests arrived.

"A blend of Chinese and Western styles." Liu Jingzhi clicked his tongue; this concept has become quite popular lately.

Many film and television companies, inspired by John Woo and Ang Lee, want both the domestic and international markets.

These film and television companies are not only domestic, but also some foreign companies; they are very optimistic about the potential of the Chinese market.

Liu Jing always felt that it was a hodgepodge, and that the combination of Chinese and Western styles might ultimately lead to both sides not being compatible.

“The production team approached me, and I persuaded Jackie Chan, who then recommended Sissi.” Li Lianjie smiled and added, “That’s the whole story.”

"How much did they pay?" Liu Jing went straight to the point, ignoring the talk of it all; money was the most important thing.

“I have ten million US dollars, and my sister-in-law has fifteen million US dollars,” Li Lianjie said without hiding anything.

The "sister-in-law" he was referring to was Cheng Long.

“You’re not as valuable as him,” Liu Jing said bluntly.

"Huayi Brothers promises that for every movie ticket purchased after the film's release, they will donate one cent to the One Foundation, and their affiliated cinema chain will donate one cent. In addition, for the next ten years, all films produced and controlled by Huayi will support the One Foundation in this manner." Li Lianjie looked gratified; supporting his cause made him happier than supporting him personally.

"Uncle, please donate all my earnings to the One Foundation," Sisi suddenly said.

"How much are you paid?" Liu Jing asked quickly.

“One and a half million,” Sisi replied.

"So cheap? One hundred and fifty is too little. If your record sells well, take out another one hundred and fifty. The charity that Uncle does is real charity, we have to support it." Liu Jing said earnestly.

“One and a half million US dollars.” Sisi rolled her eyes.

"How come you have so much when I only have so little?" Liu Jing was shocked, then felt sorry for her, and cursed his spendthrift wife in his heart.
