Perfect Life

Vol 5 Chapter 222: The trend is done

Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!

A very rhythmic knock on the door.

Hu Fei was leaning on the boss chair and rubbing his brows. Hearing the knock on the door, he sat up all of a sudden, his breath was steady as usual, and he said calmly, "Come in!"

Ming Xiaojing pushed the door and came in.

"Oh, Xiaojing is here? Come, come, come, sit!"

Hu Fei got up immediately, with a kind smile on his face, and greeted at the same time: "Liu, which cabinet did you put my tea in? Find it, find it!"

The secretary came in and asked which tea, Hu Fei replied, "Just the cake of dark tea I just brought yesterday!"

Xiao Liu immediately understood, turned around and went to Hu Fei's tea cabinet, and quickly found the tea leaves.

At this time, Hu Fei was already busy boiling water. Seeing that Ming Xiaojing was still standing, he greeted him again, "Sit, sit!" After he finished speaking, he sat down first.

Ming Xiaojing was somewhat surprised.

Hu Fei usually treats people very affectionately, which will make people feel that he is particularly willing to make friends with him, but today... how should I put it, in terms of the sixth sense of a more careful woman, he is a little too affectionate.

When he sat down, Ming Xiaojing sat down.

As an actor, he is not comparable to a director. Even if he is a celebrity and famous enough to be on the level of Ming Xiaojing, he is not very good when facing a boss and a big boss like Hu Fei.

Qin Wei can call Hu Fei a brother and call him "Old Hu" in person, no problem, but Ming Xiaojing has to be respectful - even if this old Hu is very affectionate with Kang Xiaolou's brother, but he is in the circle , you must know the rules, he calls you brother, don't put your nose on your face!

The two sat down, the secretary had already come over with the tea leaves, skillfully found the tea needle, about to pry up enough for a pot, took the tea handle, put it on the table, and asked, "Mr. Hu, should I come to rush it? …”

Hu Fei seemed to be in a really good mood today, and said with a smile: "No, I'll do it myself, let's talk for a while! Go get busy!"

Secretary Xiao Liu brought the door and went out.

Ming Xiaojing felt more and more that something was wrong.

When the water boiled, Hu Fei fluently brewed, opened and divided tea.

When the tea was divided, he asked with a smile, "How is Lao Qin's condition?"

Ming Xiaojing received a call from Hu Fei after he came out of Qin Wei's house. Naturally, Hu Fei wanted to be concerned about Qin Wei's current state.

Ming Xiaojing heard the words and said, "Not very good."

Hu Fei put away his smile, nodded, and then heaved a heavy sigh.

"Yeah, it can't be too good! This incident has hit him hard!" Hu Fei shook his head and sighed, "O Qin, a man who has never lost in his life! He has never been so embarrassed in his life! "

Ming Xiaojing nodded.

At this time, she simply didn't know how to describe her innermost thoughts to others.

regret? Grief? Pity?

neither.

Or, it can be roughly described with the words "inexplicable sadness".

At the time of her debut, Qin Wei was a well-known young and middle-aged director, and was hailed as a rare genius by the domestic film industry. Before she was forty years old, she had won various domestic awards. When the two met, the cooperation of a "Red Light District" directly brought both of them to the pinnacle of their respective careers.

At that time, Qin Wei was full of high-spiritedness and arrogance.

However, what he saw today is already a little old and has some sadness.

Seems to be getting old fast.

After Hu Fei sighed with emotion, he sighed and said, "Stop talking about this, drink tea and taste it!"

Ming Xiaojing forced a smile and took a sip from the cup.

It's the first time to drink black tea.

Hu Fei picked up the teacup and took a sip, then smiled and watched Ming Xiaojing put down the cup and asked, "How is it? The taste is okay?"

Ming Xiaojing said with a smile, "I don't know much about tea. If you, Mr. Hu, attach so much importance to it, then it must be good tea."

Hu Fei smiled and said, "I don't understand tea either! It's just this tea...hehe."

He left half of his words, and Ming Xiaojing couldn't help but look at him.

Hu Fei said: "We met for dinner two years ago. Li Qian took He Runqing and He Tianhou there. He Runqing brought these two boxes of tea and gave them to me. Yesterday, I suddenly remembered it. I found it at home and brought it over."

Ming Xiaojing was a little surprised.

In the past, when there were frequent exchanges, it seemed that I heard Li Qian mention that He Runqing's hometown produces dark tea, and Li Qian loves to drink tea. Obviously, He Runqing probably collected him a lot.

She still knows Li Qian very well.

Apart from creation, creation and creation, he himself doesn't really care much about clothing, food, housing and transportation. But the point is, the people around him are all people with good taste, so although he doesn't pay attention and doesn't care, but the people around him help him pay attention and help him care. There are almost no ordinary clothes for food and clothing around them. Once I went to his office with Xiaolou, they opened the cabinet and turned over cigars. The cabinet was a rare limited edition cigar, and Kang Xiaolou gave it to him on the spot. Shocked, I went home and talked for a long time.

The root of the problem is here. There are some things that you can't necessarily buy with your money!

But Li Qian is weird: he smokes cigars, someone gives them away, the top ones, he doesn't care about clothes, but Zhou Ai founded a clothing brand himself, he loves tea, and Xie Bing just bought a big piece of it with money. The tea garden, leave it to her father to manage, nothing else, just bring the most essential tea every year.

As the two most famous sweet sisters in the domestic music scene, Xie Bing can do that. Then you can imagine that He Runqing, who is smarter and more thoughtful, may have also bought a tea garden in HUNAN's hometown!

How to say it, it gives the impression that although Li Qian doesn't care about these things, in fact, the things he enjoys every day are the ultimate luxury.

Of course, this information is just flashing in my mind at this time.

It's not a big deal after all.

What matters is that Hu Fei called himself over and took out the tea that Li Qian gave him two years ago.

This is kind of interesting.

After careful calculation, starting from the fight between the two movies last year, until Li Qian couldn't bear it any longer, he took out the letter that shocked the entire entertainment industry, but the two sides have completely cut off communication for more than a year.

He picked up the glass subconsciously and took another sip.

Well, I still can't drink anything, but it seems to be quite moisturizing.

Hu Fei took a sip of tea, put it down, seemed to have brewed for a while, and then said: "I remember that "Unending Love" was set at the end of September?"

Ming Xiaojing nodded, "Yes."

After a pause, he said again: "After all, it's not a commercial film, and it's courting death to catch up in the summer season."

Hu Fei nodded, "Well, that's it, try to avoid risks!"

But soon, he asked again: "How is it? Do you have any new ideas? What are you going to shoot in the next film?"

Ming Xiaojing was stunned when he heard the words, and then said after a pause: "Aren't you afraid that I will lose "Unending Love"?"

Hu Fei laughed, "If you pay, you will pay! Movies are originally high investment, high returns and high risks. We have been making movies for so many years, and we have a little background and a little knowledge. Brother Hu, I It’s not like those people outside, I’m scared as soon as I say that I might lose!”

Having said this, he waved his hand and said in a grand manner: "Just your production cost, no matter how much you pay for it, where can you pay for it? Besides, after you are a dignified actor, you have nothing to say about your artistic talent. If you lose, you will understand what's going on, once you understand this level, one film can make all the money you lost in the past!"

Having said this, he laughed, "If it doesn't work, if you keep losing, and lose several films, then it's a big deal to sign a contract of sale, take a few more films and earn money back and pay me back!"

Ming Xiaojing couldn't help but smile.

Some elated.

But she soon understood that things were definitely not that simple.

It is true that Hu Fei is very generous and generous, but he has never been too generous in business investment and movie investment - on the contrary, if you say that you like a certain luxury dress, the boss dares to even talk about it. Don't ask the price, just say, buy it, brother will give it to you!

In short, work is work, investment is investment, and friendship is friendship.

Moreover, when I first proposed to shoot "Unfinished Love" back then, he was not in this attitude now - I approached him three times before and after, and the budget was finally cut from 4 million to 2 million, but he still asked him again and again. Killed directly.

In the end, he still found Li Qian. He was relatively soft-hearted. He knew that he would lose money, so he decided to invest half of it for himself.

So at this time, after being happy, Ming Xiaojing didn't say a word, just looked at him.

Hu Fei also looked at her.

We are not fools, and we are not laymen.

Just go around in circles. Although Hu Fei is a smooth person, he has never been the kind of person who goes around in circles.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and he said simply: "Xiaojing, the current situation is like this, Lao Qin's heart has been beaten all at once, and it is estimated that he will have to rest for a while before he can relax. The Minghu culture has become a general trend. Movies and TV series are invincible. Li Qian is not only talented, but also very good at coaching people. Feng Bicheng and Zhao He are already in their early stages! Jin Han also won the award! , As far as I know, Han Shunzhang is the top director in Li Qian's hands, and he hasn't shot yet! Besides, it is said that Li Qian has a high evaluation of Lu Lingxi!"

Speaking of this, he had a heavy face and said, "Think about it, what is this concept? In just a few years, Li Qian's three films must be famous and profitable. The director under his command also released one. One of the films is a big hit! The domestic box office has now exceeded 500 million yuan, including this "Once Upon a Time", there are a total of four films, and their company has accounted for three of them!"

Having said that, he sighed and said, "This battle is impossible to fight!"

Ming Xiaojing looked at him in surprise.

She really didn't expect that a big man like Hu Fei would actually say such a thing to herself.

The situation... has it come this far?

Hu Fei raised his hand, as if he wanted to do something, but in the end he put it down reluctantly, and just said: "If this wave of "Golden Terrace" rises, we can barely stand with Minghu, let's pull it up again Zhou Yanghua can last for a while, but "Golden Terrace" is thrown, and I can't do anything about it! Zhou Yanghua has even thought about finding a place where no one else has been crying since this year, and I'm about the same!"

"What should I do? We worked hard, we were very attentive, but we just couldn't get him!"

"On my side, Lao Qin is considered broken. He can't rest for at least a year. The key is that he has no self-confidence! Liu Chengzhang's new movie still doesn't know when it will be released. The key is, even if it is his new movie. I made a lot of money, but I can't count on him! He's not someone who can carry the flag! Besides, he doesn't have any deep friendship with us either, so he'll just leave!"

"On Zhou Yanghua's side, Wu Han's film may be released in the second half of the year, which is good news, but this year, even Lao Qin and Du Weiyun can do it like this, so Wu Han will do it? Besides, a few of the best-selling films in China this year. In this drama, he didn't even drink the soup, and Du Weiyun, who he relies most on, also threw himself like that..."

"I guess he can't stand it anymore. As long as Minghu Culture's future plays are not copied to him, he will stare blankly! You know, the cinemas of the Oriental Cinema are all in the bustling business district! The same film, he The attendance rate there is high, but the rent is also expensive! He costs a lot and has a lot of expenses. If he doesn't have films that everyone else has, he can't get them. Pay for it!"

"Zhou Yanghua's cleverness doesn't take a year and a half. I guess he's already reminiscing about it now. What is there to fight! What is there to fight? To put it bluntly, we are not like you, you are artists, we It's just a businessman! A businessman, the ultimate goal of making such a big business is not to make money? Because of vindictiveness, you can't even make money? Are you stupid?"

"So, maybe he also had intentions before, and I also had intentions, but now, my heart is like a mirror, and he probably already knows very well in his heart, even if our two families are united, plus Yuan Ke, of course, still If you can continue to wrestle with Minghu Culture for a while, if the three companies get together, they can still make up a foundation of Minghu, plus Oriental Media has a theater chain, it can be regarded as a strong army!"

"But, it doesn't make much sense!"

"It's still the same sentence, what are you fighting for! It is serious business for everyone to join hands to make money!"

"But the problem now is that, as you know, the relationship is dead! Very stiff!"

Speaking of which, he looked worried, raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, then waved his hand unconsciously, "I don't know what Zhou Yanghua will do, but I, we, have to turn around!"

Having said that, he looked at Ming Xiaojing and said, "Xiaojing, I know this will make you a little embarrassed. However, I can only find you! I know your relationship with Li Qian before, but later for the sake of the old man. Qin, I know that I have hurt this love, but what can I do?"

So far, Ming Xiaojing feels that this may be the longest and longest passage he has ever heard Hu Fei say in one breath—meaning, of course, it is clear, very clear.

only……

Hu Fei said: "In this way, you can draw up a book, even if you only have an outline! Just shoot what you want to shoot, and I will tell you clearly that Brother Hu is not afraid to pay for your film! I can only thank you, okay? You should practice again and play with confidence!"

After a pause, he said: "There is only one request, the hero and heroine, please invite someone from Minghu Culture! And you must invite me! The more important the better!"

After finishing speaking, before Ming Xiaojing could reply, he added, "If you can get Li Qian's script, that's even better!"

Ming Xiaojing looked embarrassed.

Are you going to find Li Qian again?

She really didn't have that confidence anymore, and felt that she really didn't have the face to make any more requests.

As we all know, Li Qian doesn't take on the drama except for one "Red Sorghum". Only in the drama of a friend, he will occasionally appear in a cameo role, but at the beginning, he had promised himself that he would play The protagonist of "Unfinished Love".

Think about what a face this is.

What a love this is.

but……

When she met at Cannes this year, she knew very well that her past affection was gone.

"Mr. Hu, I'm afraid..." She shook her head, wanting to refuse.

Hu Fei quickly raised his hand and stopped her words, saying: "Li Qian is a nostalgic person, and his heart is soft, as long as you go, he will definitely not refute your face! You believe in your brother Hu, I look at people and never make mistakes! "

Ming Xiaojing looked at him and wanted to say at this time, even if he would agree to me, I would have no shame.

But after thinking about it, what blurted out was another sentence, "I understand some of what you said just now, but there are others that I don't quite understand! Zhou Yanghua has a theater chain in his hands, and he wants to support the theater chain. , he can no longer get the screening rights of those big-selling movies over at Minghu, but we Huafei Film and Television..."

Hu Fei laughed, shaking his head while smiling.

Ming Xiaojing's words naturally stopped~www.wuxiaspot.com~ After a pause, Hu Fei said, "Last year Lao Qin's "Life and Death" stepped on Li Qian's "Once Upon a Time", you know, Outsiders are estimating that at least Minghu Culture will lose tens of millions of box office! So, what's next? Du Weiyun rushes, Lao Qin rushes, Li Qian is unstoppable! In this circle of people in China, who does he want to destroy? Destroy who! Don't talk about him, it's Feng Bicheng and Zhao He, who are also people who are feared by everyone!"

"What if Minghu Culture turns over and starts targeting our film, what should we do? If nothing else, he will make the third film of "Once Upon a Time" next year. Whatever schedule you set, he will set it. What schedule, what should I do? Go, make less money, lower the box office, and say, "Once Upon a Time" can directly crush all the films in the same period with the current power!"

"To put it eloquently, Shiyi has changed, we are now at a disadvantage! So I don't want to, and I don't dare to fight against them! And... I'm afraid!"

"So, I pay, you make the film, and you invite Minghu actors! Let's take this opportunity to ease the relationship, and hope that Minghu Culture will not target us in the future. You say, is this the reason?"

Ming Xiaojing hesitated for a moment after hearing the words, and said, "Li Qian... No way? He's not such a person!"

Hu Fei nodded, but said, "But Qi Jie will!"

Ming Xiaojing felt speechless.
