Entertainment News: You gain half of your ex-girlfriend's abilities after breaking up!

Chapter 127 Same Neighborhood, Let's Have a Drink? (Second Update)

"Well, there's no need for anyone else to tell," Mingbei thought for a moment and continued, "Actually, not many people in the industry know about this, only a handful. Let's just continue to get along as before."

""

Even so, they still had some different thoughts in their hearts, after all, their status and position had changed compared to before.

Fortunately, everyone sitting here was shrewd, and with Baoqiang's earlier banter, the atmosphere quickly warmed up again.

"So your sponsorships in 'Detective Chinatown' were actually helping promote your family's business, weren't they?"

At this moment, Xu Zheng's previous guess was confirmed once again. "Sigh, I'm really curious, how exactly should this money be divided?"

In the movie "Detective Chinatown," Orange Phone, Today Tomorrow, and beauty apps were all featured.

However, under Mingbei's guidance, the overall effect was not awkward and was very smooth.

Unlike those mindless, forced insertions of GG content that might cause people to feel rebellious.

If the box office is good, it will bring a significant positive publicity effect.

"Let's keep things separate," Mingbei explained. "This sponsorship is calculated based on box office revenue!"

"In other words, the higher the box office, the more sponsorship money will increase, thus achieving a win-win situation!"

The ability to make such a betting agreement basically indicates sufficient confidence in one's own capabilities.

Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to easily engage in a betting and profit-sharing arrangement.

Moreover, if this sets a precedent and achieves good results, there will definitely be plenty of subsequent commercial sponsorships!

Upon hearing this, Mingbei keenly noticed a subtle change in Fan Bingbing's expression.

Because he noticed that his heart rate had increased by two points, reaching 72.

It can only be said that once you have the halo of status, many things you do will be seen as positive by others.

His actions already demonstrated that he was a promising young talent, fearless and daring.

But what I didn't expect was that he was actually from a wealthy family and had built his fortune from scratch in the early stages!

In the eyes of many girls, this is what is called a super high-quality stock!

He's rich, capable, and good-looking. In a few years, the title of "national husband" will probably fall on his head.

Although Mingbei was extremely averse to this title, he was clearly more suitable than the one surnamed Wang.

The dinner party didn't last long, ending after just over two hours.

Because they hadn't drunk much, everyone was still relatively sober, and each had an assistant or driver to pick them up.

"By the way, Mingbei, where do you live? Want a ride?"

Mingbei originally arrived alone in casual clothes and took a taxi to make a cameo appearance.

Seeing that no one came to pick up Mingbei, the others thought about whether they could send him back together.

"No need to send me, I live in COFCO Ocean View One, I can just take a taxi later..."

'

"?"

Upon hearing this, Fan Bingbing was immediately astonished. "What a coincidence! I live over there too!"

Oh?

Mingbei raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise in his voice. "Fan Ye, you live over there too? Which building?"

"I have three buildings, what about you?"

"Five buildings!"

"That's quite a coincidence!"

This is actually quite normal, because that neighborhood is now a well-known luxury residential area in Shanghai.

Before other luxury homes came out, the neighborhood where COFCO and Liu Yifei lived was always among the top three choices for many celebrities and wealthy people.

However, Mingbei had lived there for so long, yet he didn't know that Fan Bingbing also lived there!

It's possible that because Fan Bingbing doesn't spend much time in Shanghai, but rather in Beijing or other places, the two haven't had a chance to meet.

Furthermore, they don't live in the same building, and they both use the underground parking garage, so the chances of them meeting are even lower.

"Then, together?"

Fan Bingbing spoke with a smile, her face radiating a captivating charm.

"No way," Mingbei shook his head, "If the paparazzi take pictures of that, wouldn't your reputation be ruined, Fan Bingbing?"

"I'll just take a taxi. I live nearby anyway, so it won't make a difference if it takes a little longer!"

"Okay, whatever you say~"

Upon hearing this, Fan Bingbing did not press closer but chose to comply.

After greeting the others, he got into the black van and drove away first.

"We're leaving too!"

Afterwards, Huang Bo, Xu Zheng, and the others took the opportunity to say goodbye, leaving only the two of them behind.

Looking at Baoqiang, who had stayed behind with him, Mingbei asked in confusion, "Brother Bao, didn't you have a car to pick you up?"

"Yes," Baoqiang nodded, "but my agent took my wife shopping, so they'll be here a little later!"

'

""

Mingbei's lips twitched slightly. He took a deep breath. "Brother Bao, I'm planning to start a fund and get some acquaintances involved in some investments. I was wondering if you'd be interested?"

"I don't really understand this," Baoqiang said, looking a little confused. "Besides, my wife controls most of my money; I don't have much to spare myself!"

Mingbei pursed his lips. "Although husband and wife may not distinguish between each other, I think it's more convenient to keep some money on hand."

""

"That's alright," Baoqiang said with a simple, honest smile. "She just gave birth to my child, and I feel she's made a huge sacrifice. I have no objection to her wanting to control the family finances!"

Seeing Baoqiang's unwavering faith in his wife, Mingbei felt he shouldn't say anything more.

However, he couldn't just watch Baoqiang continue to sink deeper into the mire, until he couldn't extricate himself, or even if it threatened his life!

"How about this," Mingbei said after a moment's thought, deciding to take a roundabout approach, "If Detective Chinatown surpasses 5 million at the box office, then if you terminate your contract with Huayi Brothers, you can sign directly with my company, how about that?"

"I guarantee that if you join my company, you'll get much more than you did before!"

He paused, then continued, "More business opportunities, more film and television opportunities—it will definitely be much better than it is now, and it won't let you down!"

If you sign with his company, you'll have more leeway in handling many things.

His agent's authority won't be as strong anymore, since there's a company above him to keep things in check.

In the past, Baoqiang might have still refused.

However, now that Mingbei's identity is public to them, joining his company is like having an extremely powerful backer, and no one in the entertainment industry will dare to mess with him in the future.

Moreover, if Detective Chinatown really does break 5 million yuan, it will truly be a box office phenomenon.

Therefore, strengthening cooperation in the future is not impossible.

"Okay, I'll go back and think about it and get back to you!"

"Okay, I'll wait for your message!"

A moment later, Mingbei hailed a taxi and went home first, leaving Baoqiang to wait for a long time before his driver and agent finally arrived.

After getting on the bus, he looked at Manager Song, who was sitting in the second row, and asked, "Where did you go today?"

"I was just strolling around near my home, not very far!"

"Oh, that's alright!"

Seeing that Bao Qiang didn't ask any more questions, Manager Song secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, there's something I'd like to talk to you about."

"What's wrong?"

Mingbei still wants to invite me to his company...

""

While they were discussing important matters, Mingbei received a message on his way.

"Mr. Ming, are you home yet? Would you like to come over for a drink?"
