The meeting with the leaders of Lin'an City went very smoothly.

Wu Jianye got the piece of land he wanted, and Lin'an City attracted an investment of over [-] million U.S. dollars. It can be said that both parties get what they need.

In order to express his gratitude, Director Wang personally drove Wu Jianye back to Lin'an Shangri-La.

"Director Wu, I won't say any unnecessary words of thanks. The previous misunderstandings are all my responsibility. Whenever Director Wu comes to An'an, he must remember to call." Director Wang said with a smile.

Through this cooperation, Director Wang has completely admired Wu Jianye, and at this time, Wu Jianye is no longer just a director in his eyes.

There is no director in China who can easily help Lin'an with an investment of over [-] million US dollars.

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Director Wang, you are being polite, was there a misunderstanding between you and me before? Why don't I remember it at all!"

"Yes, yes, no misunderstanding!" Director Wang also laughed.

When he got off the car and walked into the hotel, Wu Jianye saw Chen Hong in the lobby. Since it was a bit late at this time, there were not many people in the lobby at this time.

"Director Wu, you're back!" Chen Hong smiled like a flower after seeing Wu Jianye.

Wu Jianye nodded and said, "Yes, why haven't you rested yet? I'm going to Gusu tomorrow. Be careful not to lose energy on the road!"

Chen Hong covered her mouth and smiled softly: "Looking at Director Wu's current appearance, there is really no way to connect you with your performance on the set. If you didn't know Director Wu, you would think there are two people."

Wu Jianye chuckled and said, "Did I scare you at the beginning!"

Chen Hong made a look of lingering fear, "That's right, I almost thought that Director Wu was going to replace me at that time, and it made people worry for a long time."

Wu Jianye looked at Chen Hong's delicate and pitiful appearance, and thought in his heart: No wonder Chen Kaige couldn't control himself, and he wanted to leave the one who took care of his father who was sick and bedridden for a long time because of her, and was even put to death later. Damn, it's true that such a stunner in the world cannot be controlled by ordinary people.

"Don't worry, since the crew has chosen you, they just believe in your abilities and perform well. This TV series will not only be successful in China, maybe you will become popular in Hong Kong and Taiwan in the future!"

Chen Hong said in surprise: "Really?"

It's not that Chen Hong is pretending, it's mainly because the domestic public opinion has generally begun to dislike this TV series, but Wu Jianye said that this TV series can not only be successful in China, but also in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Same.

So does this mean that I will become a star in Hong Kong and Taiwan in the future?
"Hehe, let's wait and see when the time comes!" Wu Jianye knows the current domestic views on what this TV series is, and he also knows that even if he says what he says now, other people will have a skeptical attitude. He can only wait for this TV series to come out. Only then will they know the power of this TV series.

"I really don't know how to thank Director Wu." Then Chen Hong said shyly, "If Director Wu needs anything, I will try my best to cooperate!"

Wu Jianye looked at Chen Hong's answer as if he had made it clear, and smiled in his heart: "Let's talk about it later, let's work hard for the TV series now!"

God knows if Wu Jianye recruited Chen Hong into the crew, but the more important thing is that Chen Hong is very suitable for the role of Xiaoqing, and now Zhu Yan is also on the crew, and he doesn't want these things to happen during the filming Come out, after all, if there is something wrong in the middle, it will delay the filming of the whole TV series.

Chen Hong nodded in disappointment. After all, he and Wu Jianye were in the same crew at this time. Although Zhu Yan was there, it was also the best opportunity to get in touch. After the filming of the TV series was completed, it would be rare to have such an opportunity, and Looking at Wu Jianye's attitude now, could it be that the other party is really a flawless egg?
Wu Jianye didn't want any mistakes during the filming, but Chen Hong took Wu Jianye's worry as Wu Jianye was a gentleman
The ideas of the two sides deviated at this time.

On the second day, Wu Jianye set off for Gusu with the crew to shoot the interior and exterior scenes.

The shooting task in Gusu was the heaviest, accounting for almost two-thirds of the entire shooting task. According to the shooting task, when the shooting ended in Gusu, it was almost exactly two days before the new year in 1989, in November and December. , The shooting time of three months in January is enough.

Li Xiaowan had already contacted the shooting location in Gusu, so after the crew arrived in Gusu, they started shooting immediately.

There is no delay.

New York, Manhattan, Upper East Side, Sutton Square neighborhood.

A newest Lincoln car stopped by the side of the road. Linda held a wooden box in her hand. After getting off the car, she waved to the driver arranged by the company and walked towards the No. 11 townhouse opposite.

Linda looked at the surrounding houses along the way, and there was no envious look in the eyes of passers-by. Although this is the top rich housing area in New York, for Linda at this time, as long as she wants, she can buy here. one building.

From cultural and artistic celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller to many high-ranking political officials and business tycoons in the United States, they all like to buy houses and settle here.

The No. 11 townhouse where I.M. Pei lived was formerly owned by Roosevelt's cousin.

"Ding dong, ding dong!"

A blond young maid opened the small window of the front door and looked outside. Seeing that the visitor was a well-dressed fashion beauty, she asked, "Hello, what can I do?"

"Hello," Linda smiled, "I'm Linda, the president of Phantom Entertainment, and I'm here to visit Mr. Bei. I made an appointment over the phone."

The young maid immediately opened the door and said, "Mr. Bei has not gone out and has been waiting at home for a long time. Please come in!"

Linda was led by the maid to the garden. An old lady was watering the flowers with a water bottle. The maid immediately introduced, "Ma'am, this is a visitor that Mr. Pei has invited."

Linda greeted with a smile: "Hello, Mrs. Bei!"

The old lady's name is Lu Shuhua, and her English name is Irene Lu. Because of the transliteration, she is often referred to as Lu Shuhua, Lu Ailing, and Lu Ailin by the Chinese media.She was born in a famous Chinese family and graduated from a famous American school. She is almost 70 years old this year, and she looks intellectual and kind.

"Hello," Lu Shuhua put down the watering can, and shook hands with Linda, "Miss Linda's reputation is very popular in North America now!"

As Lu Shuhua said, with the development of Phantom Entertainment over the years, there is only a narrow gap between it and the seven major entertainment companies in Hollywood.

As the president of Phantom Entertainment, Linda has naturally become a well-known business elite in the United States.

Linda smiled and said, "Ms. Lu, you are welcome. I was also entrusted this time, and I came here to visit Mr. I.M. Pei."

Lu Shuhua was slightly taken aback, the person who can get the president of Phantom Entertainment to personally act, it seems that behind her is a big shot: "Miss Linda, please."

"Thank you!" Linda followed Lu Shuhua into the living room with the wooden box in her left hand.

In the living room, Lu Shuhua personally made coffee for Linda, and shouted in Cantonese: "Old man, there are guests at home!"

This townhouse has four floors. Not long after, I.M. Pei walked down the stair railing. Although the old man was already 71, his body was still very strong and he did not need the help of the nanny at home.

After I.M. Pei finished walking the stairs, Linda held the wooden box and said, "Mr. Pei, this is a gift that my client asked me to bring you."

Although Linda is now a well-known business elite in North America, IM Pei's reputation in North America is not bad, it can even be said to be very high, so Linda still respects this old man very much.

IM Pei opened the wooden box on the spot, and there was a bottle of red wine inside.He took out most of the wine bottle, looked carefully at the signature on the bottle, and said with a smile: "59 Lafite, oh, Miss Linda's gift is quite valuable."

Linda said: "I know you like red wine, so I bought a bottle at the previous auction."

IM Pei shook his head and smiled wryly: "For such a precious gift, Miss Linda must have business with me."

82年拉菲在华夏名气最大，但专业鉴酒机构给出的评分却不是最高。真正顶级的拉菲，分别是1901年、1953年、1959年、1986年、2000年这些年份，就连1996年的拉菲都比82年评分更高。

Of course, neither the Lafite of 96 nor the Lafite of 2000 have come out yet. As for the Lafite of 82 and 86, Wu Jianye has already stocked up a lot, but he didn’t buy them. , but Zhou Tao and Yan Wen helped him buy it before. Both of them knew that Wu Jianye liked to hide wine, so as long as some famous foreign wines were auctioned, they would help Wu Jianye take pictures.

I.M. Pei is a senior red wine lover. When Château Lafite invites him to drink, he always chooses 59 years of Lafite to entertain him.

Linda smiled in both Chinese and English: "Isn't there a saying in Huaxia called 'a sword is given to a hero'!"

I.M. Pei can understand Chinese, but he is more familiar with Cantonese. At this time, he is talking with Linda in English: "Let's talk about Miss Linda's visit this time!"

Linda nodded and said with a smile: "This time I was actually entrusted by Mr. Zhou Tao, the president of Xiangjiang Yaoguang Group, to ask Mr. Bei to help design a commercial building and a Jiangnan-style manor!"

I.M. Pei was not too surprised. As a well-known architect at home and abroad, he had no connection with Phantom Entertainment, and it was impossible for the other party to come to see him for no reason. Now that he came here with such a heavy gift, he naturally hoped that he would Helped design the building.

It's just that when Linda made the request, he was still a little confused. He thought that Linda came here this time to design a building in North America, but he didn't expect that he was invited by Xiangjiang's consortium.

IM Pei is no stranger to Yaoguang Group. The Hong Kong Bank of China Building that is currently under construction was designed by IM Pei. Now his son is watching the project in Xiangjiang, and he will go to Xiangjiang occasionally, so for The Yaoguang Group, which is now well-known in Xiangjiang, naturally knows it very well.

What really puzzled him was that he didn't expect Linda to have contact with Yaoguang Group, and even come to invite him for Yaoguang Group in person.

"I don't know where the commercial building of Yaoguang Group is?"

"Huaxia Lin'an, the Jiangnan-style manor is also in Lin'an!" Linda replied.

In fact, it was Wu Jianye who really brought Linda here, not Zhou Tao, and what Wu Jianye really cared about was the design of the manor, and the commercial building was just hoping to use I.M. Pei's fame to increase the popularity of the commercial building. At the same time, Wu Jianye also wanted to reach an in-depth cooperation with I.M. Pei. In the future, all the buildings built by Landmark in major cities around the world would be designed by I.M. Pei.

Of course, it is impossible for I.M. Pei to follow such a huge project to the end. However, I.M. Pei's two sons are also very good designers, and the cooperation with them is of great benefit to Landmark. matter.

After listening to Linda's introduction, IM Pei was also thinking about this matter. IM Pei was certainly not short of money, but the suggestion of Yaoguang Group also made IM Pei very interested. Double charge.

But my two sons are also working in this industry now. If I can reach a strategic cooperation relationship with Yaoguang Group, then I can take this opportunity to provide my two sons with the old and the young. earn fame.

After analyzing the pros and cons, IM Pei said to Linda with a smile.

"Since the Yaoguang Group is so sincere, it's not easy for us to refuse. How about it? During this period, I will take some time to go to Xiangjiang to discuss specific cooperation matters with Mr. Zhou in person."

Linda smiled and said, "That's great, I believe the cooperation between the two of you will be very pleasant!"

IM Pei smiled reservedly.

After Linda came out of I.M. Pei's villa, she called Wu Jianye and Zhou Tao respectively and told I.M. Pei of her decision.

Dai Zhen received a call from Wu Jianye. At this time, Wu Jianye was filming the evening scene of "Legend of the New White Snake" and had no time to answer the phone.

In order to be able to film smoothly in Gusu, Wu Jianye specially asked Li Xiaowan to rent several manors here. Since many of them were interior scenes and there were fewer crowds of onlookers, the filming went smoothly.

After finishing the day's filming, Wu Jianye also learned of Pei's decision from Dai Zhen, which made Wu Jianye very happy.

He called Zhou Tao again to discuss specific matters.

At the end of the chat between the two, Zhou Tao told Wu Jianye: "Han Shui Beverage has developed its own cola product. I asked the general manager of Han Shui Beverage to come to you with a sample in the past two days and let you try it."

Wu Jianye was also very excited when he heard the news. Before that, the products of Hanshui Beverage were a bit single, and there was only one product, Jianlibao. When filming "New Dragon Inn", he had already urged Zhou Tao to let Hanshui Beverage develop its own cola. The product has been developed, and now after a year of research and development, it has finally been successfully developed, which can be regarded as adding a competitive product to cold water drinks.

Of course, it will take some marketing time to make this Coke the same as Jianlibao, but this is already a process from 1 to 2 for cold water drinks.

Wu Jianye said: "Let him come over!"
