Huayu: You were supposed to be a top star, but you've become capital?

Chapter 111 Brother Shen, let's have some sunflower seeds.

Lin Shen listened from the side without saying a word.

But a thought crossed his mind.

Goodbye Mr. Loser.

Of course he knew about this film.

I watched it several times before I traveled through time. How much did it gross? Was it 1.4 billion or 1.5 billion?

In short, it's the biggest dark horse of next year's National Day film season, leaving everyone stunned.

Back then, the internet was buzzing with news of Shen Teng and Ma Li jumping straight from the theater world to the film industry and becoming an overnight sensation.

Happy Twist later released several more films, but this one remains the most classic.

But at this point in time, everyone thinks this film is no good.

The director is a newbie, the lead actor is a newbie, and it's adapted from a stage play—it's a disaster no matter how you look at it.

Lin Shen picked up his teacup and took a sip, his face expressionless.

But in my heart I was thinking: This film needs to be invested in.

Li Xiaoping, standing nearby, asked, "Who has invested in this film so far?"

Cao Huayi said, "We and Happy Twist each took a portion, and Tencent also invested a little. Wanda hesitated for a moment, but ultimately didn't join in."

Li Xiaoping nodded but didn't reply.

Seeing her expression, Lin Shen understood that Guang Guang wasn't very interested.

He put down his teacup and casually said, "Sister Xi, let's go and find out about it when we have time."

Cao Huayi heard this and turned to look at him: "Is President Lin interested?"

Lin Shen smiled and said, "I just want to learn about the projects that you and your colleagues have taken a liking to, Mr. Cao."

Li Xiaoping chimed in from the side: "Tencent has already invested in this film."

Lin Shen waved his hand dismissively: "Penguins are penguins, and we are us. They cast a wide net. We just want to follow in the footsteps of our seniors and see what happens when we have the chance."

Cao Huayi looked at him and smiled: "President Lin's attitude is much better than those who want to hog everything from the start."

Lin Shen smiled and said, "President Cao, I'm genuinely curious about this project. I've never been involved in a comedy project before. I'd love to visit the set sometime."

Cao Huayi was taken aback for a moment, and before he could speak, a man in his forties next to him smiled and asked, "Is President Lin interested?"

Why don't you just act in one?

Lin Shen then noticed that there was another person sitting next to Cao Huayi who hadn't spoken until now.

Cao Huayi quickly waved his hand: "Old Zhou, don't talk nonsense. The lead actors have already been cast. What would you want President Lin to play?"

The man called Lao Zhou chuckled awkwardly, "Yeah, I was just too anxious. Mr. Lin, please don't misunderstand, I just said it offhand."

Lin Shen waved his hand dismissively: "Mr. Zhou, you're too kind. Even if I can't play the lead role, I can still have a cameo role and experience the atmosphere of a comedy film set."

As soon as he said that, Chen Zhixi glanced at him from the side, her eyes looking a little strange.

Lin Shen knew what she was thinking.

Previously, the production team of "Jianbing Man" approached him, wanting him to make a cameo appearance, but he refused outright without leaving any room for negotiation.

Now look what's happened, they've offered to make a cameo appearance in "Goodbye Mr. Loser".

Lin Shen sighed inwardly, unable to explain to her.

What kind of movie is "Jianbing Man"? It's just a money-making machine that capitalizes on the popularity of "Men's Diary". The script is terrible, and it relies entirely on marketing to push it forward.

He had seen it before he traveled through time, and after watching it, he wanted to curse. If he were to make a cameo appearance in this film, the audience would remember him for the rest of his life.

But *Goodbye Mr. Loser* is different. The script is solid, the humor is natural, and most importantly, its reputation is strong enough to withstand criticism. Even if nobody's optimistic about it now, everyone will shut up when it's released.

Moreover, Happy Twist is still a small company at the moment. If we can take this opportunity to invest a little, we can make a lot of money later.

Unfortunately, these words cannot be said now.

After listening to Lin Shen's words, Li Xiaoping's expression changed, and she said with a smile, "Now that Lin Shen has said that, I should have someone go back and re-evaluate this project."

Cao Huayi was taken aback for a moment, then laughed: "Sister Ping, your attitude changed too quickly. You didn't have this attitude when I asked you just now."

Li Xiaoping rolled her eyes at him: "That was then, this is now. With Lin Shen involved, things are different. At least this film won't lose money, right?"

Lin Shen quickly waved his hand: "Sister Ping, please don't flatter me. I'm just going to make a cameo appearance. What good will it do?"

Everyone laughed.

As we were chatting, a staff member came over and said that the party was about to start and asked the guests to take their seats.

Li Xiaoping stood up, nodded to the group, and said, "Okay, I'll go first. I still have to go on stage later."

Cao Huayi also stood up and said to Lin Shen, "President Lin, come visit Xinli sometime. We have a few more notebooks; maybe one will interest you."

Lin Shen smiled and nodded: "Okay, Mr. Cao, when is a convenient time for me to come over and have a cup of tea?"

Cao Huayi patted him on the shoulder and left with Lao Zhou.

After they had walked away, Chen Zhixi looked at Lin Shen with a half-smile: "What's this? You want to invest in every project you come across?"

Lin Shen leaned back in his chair and said with a smile, "If there's anything suitable, we'll take a look. Anyway, the money's just sitting there."

Chen Zhixi rolled her eyes at him: "Your habit is quite good. If you come a few more times, the streets will probably be full of people asking us for investment."

Lin Shen smiled: "Isn't that perfect? ​​With Sister Xi overseeing things, I feel at ease."

Chen Zhixi was amused by him and was about to speak when Lin Shen suddenly glanced to the side.

In a corner not far away, a few little girls were huddled together, their heads huddled together, peeking furtively in their direction.

Bai Mengyan stood in the middle, with Tian Xiwei, He Handan, and Xiao Zhang on her sides. Yang Chaoyue had also joined them at some point, and the five of them huddled together, whispering among themselves.

Lin Shen couldn't help but laugh, turning to Chen Zhixi: "Sister Xi, why did you bring them all?"

Chen Zhixi followed his gaze and looked over, then smiled and said, "There are only so many people in the forest. It's good to bring them along to broaden their horizons. Are they all like you who don't care about anything?"

"She said, waving to the other side."

The girls were stunned for a moment, then quickly walked over.

Bai Mengyan walked at the front, her steps quick. When she reached him, she subconsciously took an extra half step forward, almost standing in front of Lin Shen.

Then she paused for a moment, turned around, and stood next to Chen Zhixi again.

Lin Shen raised his hand, but it was empty.

The atmosphere quieted down for a moment.

Yang Chaoyue suddenly appeared from the side, holding a handful of sunflower seeds that he handed directly to Lin Shen.

"Brother Shen, you can drink this when you're bored." She laughed quite naturally.

Lin Shen paused for a moment, then smiled and took the sunflower seeds: "Okay."

Bai Mengyan stood next to Chen Zhixi and respectfully greeted him, "Sister Xi, Brother Shen."

The others followed suit, but Tian Xiwei, standing next to He Handan, spoke the softest and shrank back after shouting.

Lin Shen's gaze swept over the group of people, lingered on Bai Mengyan's face for a moment, and then turned to Tian Xiwei.

"Is this Tian Xiwei?"

Tian Xiwei was stunned for a moment, her face flushed red, and she whispered, "Yes, yes, Brother Shen."

Lin Shen nodded: "The one from Chongqing?"

Tian Xiwei was even more confused and could only nod vigorously.

Lin Shen smiled and said, "Study hard, and ask your teachers anytime if you don't understand anything during training. When the opportunity arises, I'll arrange for you to join a film crew."

Tian Xiwei's eyes lit up, and she quickly nodded, "Thank you, Brother Shen!"

Chen Zhixi glanced at Bai Mengyan, then checked the time, and said to Lin Shen, "Alright, you can go ahead and get busy. The awards ceremony will be held soon."

She turned to Bai Mengyan: "Mengyan, come with me, I'll introduce you to some people."

Bai Mengyan nodded and followed Chen Zhixi to the side.

Chen Zhixi took a couple of steps, then looked back at the remaining people and said to Yang Chaoyue, "Chaoyue, take them around the venue, but don't let them wander too far. Come find me when the event is over."

Yang Chaoyue nodded: "Okay, don't worry, Sister Xi."

Chen Zhixi left with Bai Mengyan. As Bai Mengyan left, she glanced back at Lin Shen, who nodded at her. She pursed her lips and followed Chen Zhixi into the crowd.

Yang Chaoyue turned to the remaining three people and said with a smile, "Let's go, let's take a look around."

Tian Xiwei's eyes lit up: "Sister Chaoyue, can we go to the front and take a look?"

'

Yang Chaoyue thought for a moment and said, "Okay, just don't go too far forward."

He Handan and Xiao Zhang followed behind, and the group walked to the other side of the venue.

Lin Shen stood there, watching them walk away, then turned and walked back to his own table.

Deng Chao and Huang Xiaoming were already sitting there, talking to each other with their heads down.
