This actor has something

Chapter 251 Everyone has their own thoughts

This situation made He Daqi raise his eyebrows.

It seems that the quality of the movie is good, and all four companies want to participate in the distribution. The reason why they are lingering and not leaving should be because they have other purposes, just like Yu Dong just now.

"Nice to meet you two. I'm Guanglian Wang Changtian, and this is my wife Du Yinglian."

Wang Changtian smiled and shook hands with He Daqi and Zhou Huimin.

"Hello."

He Daqi and Zhou Huimin responded together.

He Daqi wanted to see what this was going to do, but he didn't expect Wang Changtian to start chatting with him.

"Da Qi, to be honest, I haven't really watched Infernal Affairs 2, but I did watch the movie today. Your acting skills are impeccable, and you deserve the Golden Elephant Award for Best Actor."

"Uh..." He Daqi felt like he'd been ambushed. He was ready to counterattack, but Wang Changtian just chimed in. Speaking of bullshit, He Daqi was no slouch. He immediately smiled and said, "It's all thanks to the seniors, plus I'm lucky. I've actually benefited from our new regulations, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten my turn."

"Don't say that. You wouldn't be able to make it if you didn't get an acting nomination. Getting a nomination already means your acting skills are better than the average actor. You're only 20 this year, right? I can't even imagine how bright your future is."

He Daqi twitched the corner of his mouth when he heard this, and said cheerfully: "I don't deserve the praise."

The two of them chatted casually here, and Zhou Huimin next to them was also chatting with Wang Changtian's wife. They slowly walked to the first floor.

There are several restaurants on the first floor of Yonghui Qiming Building. Liu Ying contacted a restaurant in advance because she had considered the issue of the movie being slow and they would dine together.

The food is prepared. If the people from the publishing company do not stay for dinner, the prepared dishes will be sent to the third floor as employee benefits. If they do stay for dinner, they will be brought to the private room.

There are thirteen people in total, in addition to the four from Yonghui Qiming, there are three from Huayi, two from China Film, two from Guangxian, and two from Bona.

The place was quite full and everyone was quite happy.

After all, no one has much money in their pockets right now. Except for China Film Group and Yonghui Qiming, the other three companies rely on investment to make films. Huayi is not much better, so we have to be happy. We can't get angry before we make much money, right?

The group of people pushed and shoved their way, and finally the general manager of China Film Corporation sat in the main guest seat.

Not long after we sat down, the waiter started serving cold dishes. Wu Nannan stood up, picked up the two-liang wine glass, and raised his hand to toast everyone:
"Come on, CEOs, I'll drink first as a token of my respect. Feel free to do whatever you want. Especially for those CEOs who want to discuss specific distribution issues later, please take it easy."

After saying that, he drank the cup of Fenjiu in one gulp, then filled another cup, held the bottle in his left hand and the cup in his right hand, and started to clink glasses in circles.

He Daqi gently nudged Zhou Huimin, gestured towards Wu Nannan, and whispered softly, "See? That's called drinking."

"Why are you telling me this? If you have the guts, you can do it this way too." Zhou Huimin rolled her eyes and replied with disdain, then picked up a cucumber soaked in old vinegar with chopsticks and ate it with such a crisp taste.

He Daqi chuckled, touched his nose, and said embarrassedly: "I was just talking. I wouldn't dare to say that. This is a professional player. I can't compare, I can't compare."

Seeing Zhou Huimin only eating her food and ignoring him, he nudged her again and whispered, "Just now when I came down, that Guangxian boss pulled me aside to talk about a bunch of useless things without saying anything. Did you talk to his wife about business?"

"Well, we talked about it. They wanted to participate in the investment of our company's next project. I said there were only four children's dramas, and the projects had already been approved. I will contact them when there are other film and television dramas." Zhou Huimin also leaned over to He Daqi's ear and whispered.

"Are you serious or just pretending?"

"Both. We definitely can't just make co-productions in the future. When we launch projects in mainland China, I guess Huanya will also find people to cooperate. The economy is in recession now, and only a fool would spend money on every movie himself."

The two were interrupted while chatting. Wang Jinghua was also a good drinker. She came over to the two of them with a glass of wine.

He Daqi quickly stood up and clinked glasses with Wang Jinghua. "Sister Hua, my boss is allergic to alcohol. This is basically known to everyone in the industry. I'll clink beer with you. You can do whatever you want. I'll drink it."

"No, no, Daqi, you should drink less too. You're an actor, you can't drink like that. It's not good for your condition."

Wang Jinghua smiled and stopped He Daqi from drinking. She didn't bother with He Daqi and Zhou Huimin, but instead passed them by to go find Yu Dong. The meal didn't last long, as they were busy with business. After a while, Wang Changtian and his wife exchanged phone numbers with Wu Nannan, then found an excuse to leave.

Taking their departure as a signal, the others quickly put down their chopsticks and stopped eating.

After half a day, everyone basically understood that there was still something to discuss, so everyone stopped pretending and happily returned to the third floor of Yonghui Qiming.

When they arrived at the small conference room, Wu Nannan continued to chat. President Wang looked at the remaining people from China Film Group and Bona Film Group. He stood up first, smiled, and went to the screening room next door.

Liu Ying, Zhou Huimin, and He Daqi are all waiting here.

"Mr. Wang, do you have something else to say?" Liu Ying asked with a smile.

"I guess they're all busy, right?" Da Wang asked with a smile. After sitting down, he straightened his expression and got down to business. "Will all future films from your company be co-distributed, or is this just one?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ying immediately guessed what Mr. Wang was thinking. Without hiding anything, she revealed a little inside information: "If nothing unexpected happens, all mainland films will be jointly distributed. Yonghui Qiming will no longer be responsible for film and television production. Mr. Wang, if you want to discuss deepening cooperation, you need to talk to Huanya."

"Is that so...Okay, I understand." Da Wang responded, then turned to look at He Daqi: "Daqi, our company has a movie coming out at the end of this year and the first half of next year. Can you spare some time?"

"It seems not possible. My schedule is quite tight this year. But since you asked me in person, Mr. Wang, I have to squeeze in some time even if I have to rush. Of course, it won't be too long. I can only make a cameo appearance."

When the King heard He Daqi's excuse, he didn't look disappointed at all. As if he had guessed it in advance, he smiled and said, "It's okay. There will be plenty of opportunities for cooperation in the future. I don't want to use my favor for this. We are all from the Forbidden City, so we should take care of each other in the future."

"That's a must." He Daqi nodded.

President Wang turned to Liu Ying again and asked, "Do we have to have four distribution companies? Is that possible if we want to grab a larger share? For example... kicking out Bona; their distribution capabilities are pretty average. Kicking out Guangxian is also fine; they're not much better than Bona."

"Mr. Wang, I really can't make the decision on this. I just said that Yonghui Qiming will not be responsible for film and television production in the future. You can ask Wu Nannan, she is in charge of this aspect." Liu Ying responded with a smile, with no other expression on her face.

"Okay, let's stop here for today. Let's have a good drink when we have time in the future. I didn't drink much today because I was afraid that drinking would cause trouble." Mr. Wang laughed and stood up and said.

He Daqi and Liu Ying sent him out of the screening room door and found that Wang Jinghua and the middle-aged man who came with them were already waiting at the door. The three of them did not return to the small conference room. They turned around to say hello and took the elevator directly to leave.

As soon as the three of them left, Yu Dong came out of the small meeting room as if he had smelled something.

He smiled and pushed He Daqi back to the screening room, acting like one of them, and happily pulled a chair over and sat down.

"Does Wang Zhongjun want to kick me out?"

Liu Ying smiled and said nothing when she heard this.

He Daqi looked at Yu Dong strangely. Did these people know that they were playing tricks on each other?
Seeing no one answered, Yu Dong didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he smiled and said to He Daqi, "Daqi, we just started talking about family. My cooperation with Huanya has always been good. They want to exclude me and secretly take advantage of Hong Kong's resources. I don't even need to guess what that Wang guy said just now."

Zhou Huimin suddenly interrupted and asked, "I remember that you guys at Bona have been trying to get people to come north to film dramas, right?"

Yu Dong didn't deny it. "Yes, but we're not the only ones. Now everyone is investing in Hong Kong directors. This is a big trend. I stayed here just to ask if you have any intention of investing. Didn't you invest in Tian Xia Di Yi before? I do have a lot of projects over there, but the key is that I don't have the money."

Zhou Huimin shook her head. "We rarely invest in other people's projects. You should have asked Guangxian."

"They are poor too." Yu Dong said with a smile. He suddenly clapped his hands, as if remembering something, and turned to He Daqi:
"Da Qi, I've teamed up with your company, Huan Ya, for a racing-themed project. When I went to Hong Kong last week, Huan Ya said they wanted to ask you if you'd like to play the male lead. If you refuse, they'll look for someone else. You said you're busy in the second half of the year, but you're not talking about that movie, are you? That movie won't take long to shoot, probably less than two months. If you squeeze it in, wouldn't you be available?"

As soon as he said this, Zhou Huimin, He Daqi and Liu Ying were all stunned.

He Daqi looked at Liu Ying and then at Zhou Huimin, realizing that they hadn't heard the news either, so he said to Yu Dong cheerfully, "No, I probably won't act. The project I'm talking about is something else."

"Really? If you don't accept, I'll have to think carefully about this movie. Who else of your age could be more popular than you?"

"Not necessarily. There are many people who are around my age but more popular than me. For example... uh... isn't crossover popular now? Zhou Jielun might be able to act as well. She is also very popular." He Daqi thought for a long time and couldn't think of anyone of his age who was as popular as him, so he directly recommended a singer.
