Entertainment: Since 1990

Chapter 224 Aunt Ximen
In the "Young and Dangerous" film crew, Yang Junjun sat in the reception room, drinking coffee.

She came today with sincerity, wanting to invite Cao Jian, who is currently very popular, to film a TV series with her.

As for the price, she believed that with her abilities, she could let him name his price.

Yang Junjun comes from a prominent family and runs businesses in catering, agriculture, and film and television. His businesses are very large, and his agricultural products are even exported all over the world. He is not short of money at all.

"He probably won't refuse, and it seems he hasn't adapted any of Gu Long's novels into films before."

As Yang Junjun was thinking, the door was pushed open, and a handsome young man walked in.

"Wow"

The moment Yang Junjun saw this young man, despite the lighting, he felt that he was even more handsome than on TV.

He quickly stood up: "Mr. Cao, hello, I am Yang Junjun, yes, a fan of both songs and movies."

"So it's the legendary Aunt Ximen?"

The moment Cao Jian saw this person, he immediately wanted to grab the bucket and run away.

To be honest, Yang Junjun is not ugly. If she were ten years younger, she would definitely be a very beautiful woman.

However, "Aunt Ximen," who is nearly forty years old, may not have taken good care of herself, as there is almost no collagen left on her face.

Although not as old as they will be in five or six years, their youth is clearly gone.

Other actors are still charming at forty and can play young girls, but this person is thirty-eight and that's it?

Cao Jian immediately recalled the videos of this woman being mocked in later generations, especially the scenes of her playing in the water with a handsome man, which were simply an eyesore.

It is said that this woman wanted to hire He Jiajin and Ma Jingtao to act in a movie. When the two saw the female lead, they ran away overnight with buckets, each one faster than the other.

Later, Yang Junjun got smarter, raised his salary, and changed the penalty for breach of contract to an exorbitant amount, thus tricking Jiao Enjun into signing him.

As a result, the most handsome Erlang Shen painfully finished filming this movie, and was even left with psychological trauma.

I never imagined that I would be targeted by this woman in this lifetime.

Was it she who asked me to act in her movie?

She's the female lead?

Faced with a woman like that, being asked to act affectionately and even have kissing scenes is like asking someone to jump into a river.

However, out of politeness, Cao Jian still said, "Miss Yang, hello, what can I do for you?"

"Here's the thing, I really admire Mr. Cao's acting skills and would like to cast you in a TV series. You can be the male lead and I can be the female lead. Name your price."

Yang Junjun, who was wealthy, was unaware of Cao Jian's capabilities and directly asked him to name his price.

"hehe."

Cao Jian was amused. "You probably don't know my worth. You're asking me to name my price?"
"Mr. Cao, what are you laughing at?"

Yang Junjun was completely baffled by Cao Jian's smile.

I asked you to act because I think you're pretty good, and I was worried I couldn't afford it.
Just as they were guessing, Cao Jian said, "Miss Yang, I am someone you can't afford to invite."

"I can't afford it?"

Yang Junjun looked at Cao Jian in surprise. Was this young man really that arrogant?
You asked someone to agree to this yourself; all you did was start a milk tea business and a magazine, right?

I can't afford to hire you?
She immediately held up five fingers: "Fifty million, is that enough?"

To be honest, 50 million NT dollars is equivalent to nearly 20 million Hong Kong dollars, which was a huge sum in the 1990s. Some people could not earn that much money in their entire lives.

Even if it were Chow Yun-fat, Stephen Chow, and Jackie Chan, they wouldn't get such high salaries.

Even if you have money, my 50 million NT dollars is practically free.

If it weren't for my infatuation with a handsome young man like you, I would have offered a maximum of ten million for anyone else.

Cao Jian laughed instead, "You mean US dollars?"

"."

Yang Junjun was stunned for a moment by these words.

US dollars?

That's most of his assets. No matter how extravagant he is, he wouldn't spend 50 million US dollars to hire someone to make a movie.

Yang Junjun, who had been confident, was intimidated by Cao Jian's imposing manner and whispered, "It's in Taiwan Dollars."

"Hehe, Miss Yang, you'd better find someone else. I'm very busy lately."

After Cao Jian finished speaking, he was about to leave.

Yang Junjun was embarrassed by this, but because he liked Cao Jian, he said, "Mr. Cao, why don't you take a look at the script? If you think five thousand NT dollars is too little, Hong Kong dollars are fine too."

"Really spending a lot of money."

Did Cao Jian never expect his fans to be so crazy?

However, he recalled that in recent years, whether it was martial arts dramas, modern dramas, or mythological dramas, they were all dominated by men.

Although "Ximen Wuhen" was ruined by this woman, there are really not many dramas with women as the main characters.

The easiest people to make money from in the world are women. If her milk tea business could be promoted through this drama, it would definitely make "Honey Fragrance Ice City" milk tea a standard accessory for women in love.

If you make a show that women like to watch, as long as it's well-made, it's bound to have good reviews and high ratings.

In addition, the original novel of this drama, "The Legend of Peach Blossom," is quite good and has been adapted into a TV series.

It's also because this woman's directing skills are terrible, and she's also frighteningly beautiful.

The kind of skin that even lighting and smoothing can't save.

Thinking of this, Cao Jian turned around and said, "How about you sell me this script? I'll film it, and you can just be an investor."

"why?"

Yang Junjun was naturally unhappy.

She admired Ximen Wuhen and felt that the peerless beauty in the book was herself.

"If you film it yourself, the show might never air."

Cao Jian said calmly, "If I were to film it, it would not only become a hit, but it would also make you money. Why wouldn't you want that?"

"this."

Yang Junjun didn't want to agree and wanted to leave, but seeing her idol's handsome appearance, she hesitated.

But what Cao Jian said next finally moved her.

Cao Jian said, "You know, I have a business that makes milk tea. You're doing very well in your career and you're also involved in the catering industry. We can cooperate to expand the milk tea business globally."

Cao Jian's business is growing bigger and bigger.

In the VCD and electronics sector, there's Guo Aiming; in the clothing sector, there's Yang Yuying.

I can handle the film and entertainment magazine business myself.

But milk tea is only famous in Hong Kong and Taiwan. The mainland is so big, and if it really wants to expand into the mainland market, it needs a very capable person to help.

But among the women around me, there are actually very few who are truly capable of doing business.

Therefore, if you want to expand your milk tea business, you must find someone who is good at business to cooperate with.

Since most people who like milk tea are women, it would be best to find a woman to work with.

Although the woman in front of me, Aunt Ximen, is not a good actress, she should be a good businesswoman.

Since we're going to cooperate, we need to set a high goal.

Starbucks can be found all over the world, so why can't Honey Fragrance Ice Cream?

At worst, I can just choose a fancy name abroad.

"You want to take your milk tea business global?"

Yang Junjun immediately looked at Cao Jian with new respect, and at the same time felt that it was a ridiculous thing for him to ask Cao Jian to act in his movies.

How could he have such ideals, and even be interested in someone as insignificant as me?

Because of her fondness for Cao Jian and being a fan of his, Yang Junjun felt that they could collaborate.

Regarding copyright
“Mr. Cao, I’ve always liked your songs and enjoyed watching your movies. How about this, I agree to collaborate with you, and I’ll give you the copyright to ‘The Legend of Peach Blossom’.”

Although he couldn't act with his idol, Yang Junjun felt that the trip was worthwhile because he could collaborate on business.

"Give it to me?"

Cao Jian was somewhat surprised.

This woman didn't sell the copyright, but gave it to herself.

interesting.

If we acquire the rights to this film, we can have the women around us direct it and promote them.

Since he was getting the novel's copyright for free, he laughed and said, "Ms. Yang, if there are any handsome young men in the company in the future, I can introduce you to them."

"Don't call me Miss Yang, just call me Junjun."

Yang Junjun wasn't interested in other boys for the time being, and said with a smile, "But I think you're the most handsome."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiu Shuzhen knocked on the door and came in.

"Director Cao, everything on set is ready, waiting for you to start filming."

Qiu Shuzhen waited for Cao Jian for quite a while, but her man didn't come to find her, and everyone on the film crew was getting impatient, so she finally came over to check on him.

Of the entire crew, only the beautiful Qiu dares to do this.

Yang Junjun was somewhat taken aback when he saw Qiu Shuzhen.

This woman is not only beautiful and has a great figure, but she also speaks to Cao Jian in a sweet and coquettish way. The two of them might definitely have a relationship.

I have this appearance.
"It's better to just help him with his business. As long as I can be with my idol and make money for him, it doesn't seem so bad."

Yang Junjun sighed inwardly, thinking to himself, "Fortunately, my daughter is quite good-looking. If she gets along well with Director Cao, she might become a star in the future."
