Actor without ambition

Chapter 249 Chibi
"Wu Jing, Wu Jing, right! I know you, I really know you. Let me tell you, when I saw you acting as a Tai Chi master, I imitated how you stirred the water tank with both hands..." The plump coal boss said to Wu Jing with a smile while hugging a beautiful woman whose body was so good that she was going to explode.

Wu Jing had a flattering smile on his face, and he nodded almost at what the coal boss said.

Actually, Wu Jing discovered that although the coal boss likes to brag, um, it should be considered bragging, anyway, he likes to show off, and besides that, he is relatively easy to talk.

As long as you compliment him and don't lose face, this coal boss is really easy to get along with.

Compared with those investors that Wu Jing had met in the past, this coal boss made Wu Jing feel a little cute.

"Really, at that time I even found someone to learn Taijiquan, don't you believe it? If you don't believe me, I will practice it for you now..." The coal boss said, pushing away the young lady who was so fit that he was hugging him, and then To practice Tai Chi.

A fat coal boss, even if he learned it at the beginning, after so many years, what is left?
However, Wu Jing still complimented the other party, saying that although the other party forgot some of the moves, those moves that were memorized were particularly in place, and Tai Chi was particularly good.

In short, Wu Jing's words made the coal boss not too happy.

"3000 million, is 3000 million enough? I heard that Xiangjiang spends a lot more on making movies than ours." The coal boss was so pleased that he asked.

"Enough is enough, enough is enough." Wu Jing said quickly.

Wu Jing is not the kind of person who is particularly shameless, although in order to get the investment, he has to drink with him and laugh, but he still has to say something nice.But he didn't think about grabbing the coal boss and just grabbing the wool.

If it were someone with no integrity, he might just brag about it, and then he would open his mouth and ask for an investment of 8000 million or [-] million.

"Is it really enough? I know that the salaries of Xiangjiang actors are quite high. Zhou Runfa, I heard that when he filmed the city full of big girls, he asked for a salary of 4000 million. Your 3000 million, You can just ask three-quarters of the week to send it."

"Well, I didn't plan to invite Zhou Runfa. In fact, I think that I am a new director after all, so I don't plan to invite those big-name actors. First, I invite some actors with good acting skills and low salaries who are not well-known..."

"Tsk tsk tsk, Brother Wu Jing, you are so real! You are so real! Let me tell you, I have also talked to many filmmakers over the years, and they are all fooling me like this , I want to get as much money as possible from me to make a movie, and they are blowing in front of me one by one, I want to invite Zhou Runfa, Zhou Xingxing, even Li Lianjie, the housewife, and even Hollywood superstars to film Movies. That group of people really treat me as a fool, and they are talking about hundreds of millions of investment. That’s right, I am rich, and my family’s coal mine is worth hundreds of billions. In my opinion, a few hundred million is just a trivial matter. .But this doesn’t mean that others will treat me as a fool, right? I voted for 3000 million. It’s because of your honesty, brother Wu Jing.” The coal boss said this, not too openly.

"Thank you, thank you. I did it, you can do whatever you want." Wu Jing was overjoyed.

"Wait, Brother Wu Jing, although I voted for this film, I still have a small request." The coal boss said with a smile.

"I invite you to speak directly. If I can do it, I will definitely agree."

"This is my girlfriend Xiaowei, how is it? Isn't she beautiful!" The coal boss introduced the woman in his arms to Wu Jing.

"Beautiful, of course she is beautiful. With a sister-in-law's appearance, even if she goes to the entertainment industry, she is definitely the most beautiful woman." Wu Jing gave her a thumbs up.

"Hahaha, brother Wu Jing, you are really good at talking. Since you also said that my girlfriend is so beautiful, then, look, can my girlfriend play the heroine in your movie?" The coal boss said himself true intentions.

Wu Jing was not surprised by this at all. After all, before he came, Zhang Yuxuan had told Wu Jing about the coal boss's preferences, and he also knew that the coal boss invested in movies. In fact, he wanted to put his own woman in the movie more. for the sake.

"Yes, of course I can. To be honest, my sister-in-law is really suitable for acting in movies. However, my movie is an action movie, and there are many fighting scenes in it. There are still quite a lot of scenes. It would be a pity if it was accidentally broken or left some marks on the face—"

Hearing what Wu Jing said, Boss Coal frowned, and the woman in Boss Coal's arms turned pale with fright.After all, the reason why she was able to get close to such a rich coal boss was because of her beauty. If she accidentally scratched her face during filming: "Brother, I don't want to shoot scenes. It’s not good if you hurt your face.”

"Okay, okay, no fight scenes, we don't shoot fight scenes. Brother Wu Jing, look, your sister-in-law doesn't want to shoot fight scenes—"

"No problem, this is absolutely fine. I can arrange another role for my sister-in-law. There will be absolutely no drama, and I will never hurt my sister-in-law. At the same time, I also promise that my sister-in-law's role will definitely be indispensable. Boss, do you think this is okay?"

"Hahaha, brother Wu Jing is just talking about loyalty, which is interesting!"

When everything was settled, the coal boss took Xiaowei away, and the smile on Wu Jing's face froze.

He patted his face hard twice, rubbed it again until his skin was no longer stiff, and then he was relieved.

Speaking of it, Wu Jing is actually quite backbone, and he is not a smooth person.

However, these years of tempering made Wu Jing understand that when necessary, her personality must be changed.

When it's time to ask for help, you have to lower your posture, otherwise you won't be able to get investment at all, and you will only be a low-level supporting role for the rest of your life, and you won't be able to get ahead in your life.

So Wu Jing could only correct his mentality, try to make his posture humble, and finally succeeded in fooling the coal boss, and the investment of 3000 million yuan was considered to be obtained.

This meal of wine was nothing more than some compliments at most, and Wu Jing successfully won the investment. It can only be said that this meal of wine was worth drinking.

At the same time, Wu Jing also thanked Zhang Yuxuan from the bottom of her heart.If Zhang Yuxuan hadn't been the broker, he wouldn't have been able to contact the coal boss, and he wouldn't have been able to get investment at all.Although Zhang Yuxuan, as the middleman, was not present this time, he succeeded in the end.

To be honest, Wu Jing originally thought that if he could not get the investment of 3000 million, he would compress it and strive for 2000 million to make the movie.At most it is tight.

It's all right now, the 3000 million has arrived, and he doesn't have to have so many scruples when filming the movie. He can let go of his hands and feet and work hard.

Thinking of this, Wu Jing couldn't help being happy again.

(It's really uncomfortable to beg for help! No matter what you look like in normal times, when it comes to begging for help, you have to become a grandson.)
Zhang Yuxuan hung up the phone with a smile on his face.

"What? Wu Jing succeeded?" Seeing Zhang Yuxuan hang up the phone, Li Ling inserted a piece of dragon fruit with a toothpick and placed it near Zhang Yuxuan's mouth.

Zhang Yuxuan opened his mouth and bit off the dragon fruit.

"Well, it worked. The coal boss took out 3000 million by himself. Wu Jing's film investment has been completely settled." Zhang Yuxuan nodded with a smile.

"Fortunately, it succeeded! Yuxuan, in the future, we should do less of this kind of thing, and try not to do it as much as possible. The investment in a movie, and Wu Jing, a newcomer, will be the director. It's not very reliable in itself. The thing is, if the film loses money, the investor may implicate you as the middleman. Also, you are the middleman, and you are not there when the people on both sides meet? What do you think? You don’t worry about it when the time comes The coal boss didn't see you as a middleman, so he just patted his ass and left? When the investor is unhappy, Wu Jing may also blame you. At that time, you are not a human..." Li Ling whispered in Zhang Yuxuan's ear Talking about a lot of truth.

To be honest, Li Ling's words were not wrong at all, but Zhang Yuxuan didn't like to listen to them, so it just went in the left ear and out the right ear.

Seeing Zhang Yuxuan like this, Li Ling was almost so angry that he rolled his eyes: "Yuxuan! In short, in the future, if there are people related to film investment, you should stop meddling. If you want to be meddled, you should hand over I'll deal with it. Do you hear me!"

"I heard it, I heard it, I heard it." Zhang Yuxuan said impatiently.

"Are you still impatient? Do you think I'm willing to deal with this kind of thing? It's not you. You, as the middleman between the two sides, really meet the two sides. What's the difference if you, the middleman, don't show up?"

"I don't like meeting people, I don't like excitement, I don't like drinking!" Zhang Yuxuan muttered.

"Since you don't like it, why don't you get involved?"

"I don't think Wu Jing is embarrassed and I want to help him."

Li Ling is really helpless towards Zhang Yuxuan's way of doing things, but it's just helpless, because as Zhang Yuxuan's manager, she naturally knows the reason for Zhang Yuxuan's behavior, but it is because of this that she feels helpless, she even knows , if a similar situation happens again in the future, Zhang Yuxuan might intervene again.

So Li Ling only thought about how Zhang Yuxuan could remember his own words, and before doing such things in the future, he could think of her manager first.

"You want to help him so much, why don't you invest in him directly? It's only 3000 million, and to you, it's just a drop in the bucket." Li Ling said helplessly.

Speaking of Zhang Yuxuan's assets, although most of Zhang Yuxuan's assets are real assets such as houses, but when they are all added up, Zhang Yuxuan's net worth has reached ten or even eleven figures.Probably because there are so many assets behind him, Zhang Yuxuan's many ways of doing things give people the feeling that he is more willful.

"No matter how much money I have, I can't just spend it for nothing." Zhang Yuxuan said confidently.

"So you pushed Wu Jing to others? Are you not worried about others losing money?"

"The coal boss is not worried, what am I worried about?" Zhang Yuxuan said indifferently.

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to you. The New Year has passed, and you should start work soon. Look, these are the invitations to the script that was handed to you. Look, do you want to accept that? Of course, if you want to If you want to make up the script yourself, I will not object." Li Ling said, placing a stack of materials in front of Zhang Yuxuan.

"So many?" Zhang Yuxuan was a little surprised.

"Many? This is what I have already screened, and I have screened out a lot. These are selected scripts with good quality or good directors." Li Ling shook his head and said.

"Okay, I'll take a good look." Zhang Yuxuan nodded.

Although Li Ling has screened out some of the scripts, the number of remaining scripts is still considerable.

Moreover, because they had been screened, Zhang Yuxuan found that the quality of many of the scripts handed to him was quite good.

It's a pity that Zhang Yuxuan doesn't have the ability to clone himself, so he has no way to follow all these scripts. He can only choose the scripts and pick out the scripts that he thinks are good.

"Mei Lanfang? Is this director Chen Kaige?" Zhang Yuxuan's eyes twitched after seeing a script.

"Well, that's right, the director of Mei Lanfang's movie is Chen Kaige." Li Bai nodded and said calmly.

"He has already shot Wuji, yet someone still invests in him to shoot Mei Lanfang? Aren't you afraid of losing money?" Zhang Yuxuan couldn't help but say.

"How could there be no one to invest in him. After all, he is Chen Kaige. Not to mention Wuji, a single Farewell My Concubine is enough for him for a lifetime. And Wuji didn't lose much. The money was earned back, but after the copyright of the Wuji movie was sold, it also got back a mouthful of blood, and then sold discs, and other copyrights, all in zero, so although Wuji lost money, it didn’t actually lose money. How much. In addition, Mei Lanfang’s film is still an opera, don’t forget. Chen Kaige’s last opera film was Farewell My Concubine! Just because it is an opera-themed movie has already made many people wave Not to mention, this movie is well made, maybe it can be given out to win awards." Li Ling analyzed it professionally.

"That's it." Zhang Yuxuan was a little stunned when he heard Li Ling say this: "But I still don't like Mei Lanfang's drama very much."

"The reason why Director Chen Kaige handed over the invitation is actually just to invite you to audition. There are too many people who want to act in his movies. They just cast a wide net, and they don't really recognize you. I I feel that even if you really participate in the interview, the possibility of passing the interview is not very high." Li Ling said frankly.

"Hey, you look down on me so much?" Zhang Yuxuan couldn't help but said.

"I can see clearly. To play Mei Lanfang, you must first be able to sing. If you want to act, you have to spend time learning how to sing. Then your age is not so suitable to play Mei Lanfang. There is also acting skills. This aspect..." Li Ling analyzed from various aspects, and finally came to only one conclusion, that is, even if Zhang Yuxuan worked hard to learn singing and audition, the possibility of being eliminated in the end would be very high.

After all, what Chen Kaige pursues is still the so-called art.

Li Ling's analysis made Zhang Yuxuan a little speechless, and finally simply threw the script aside. After all, he himself was not very optimistic about this movie. Well, it should be said that he didn't like this type of movie very much.

Zhang Yuxuan is not very willing to do this kind of thing to learn a skill while filming a movie.It's really tiring.

Moreover, Zhang Yuxuan's time is so precious, and there is not so much time for Zhang Yuxuan to waste.

"Three Kingdoms: Chibi?" Zhang Yuxuan looked at the script highlighted by Li Ling.

"This is a very big project. The Three Kingdoms itself is a very popular IP, and the director of this movie is Wu Baige who came back from Hollywood. It is said that Han Sanping is very fond of this movie. Pay attention, and even one of the leaders is Han Sanping. Countless people are vying to participate in this movie, but the size of our Shiba Culture Media is not small, so we have also won part of the investment in it. " Li Ling said with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

Zhang Yuxuan looked at Chibi's script, but Miss Lin Zhiling's figure appeared in his mind, accompanied by a line: "Mengmeng stand up——"

Zhang Yuxuan couldn't help but shuddered violently.

"What's the matter, Yuxuan? You don't want to participate, do you? This is a movie directed by Wu Baige! Wu Baige is a big director in Hollywood. We have quite a few directors here, but those who can make a name for themselves in Hollywood Directors, there are only a few of them, and Wu Baige is definitely the most brilliant. His ability is beyond doubt." Li Ling looked at Zhang Yuxuan like this, and worried about what kind of moth Zhang Yuxuan would make.

"Wu Baige is so powerful, so why didn't the movie "Windtalker" fail?" Zhang Yuxuan mocked.

"It's normal for horses to stumble and people to stumble. Besides, it's a foreign war movie. It's normal that Wu Baige is not good at it." Li Ling argued.

With this idea, people are full of longing for foreign countries, thinking that everything in foreign countries is good. For a big director like Wu Baige who has broken into Hollywood, people in China even praise him to the sky.No, this Chibi, such a large investment, was led by a big guy like Han Sanping, and then countless people flocked to join it, all of whom believed in Wu Baige.

"Wu Baige is good at gunfights, and he can't even make gunfight-type war movies well. Do you think he can make war movies with cold weapons?" Zhang Yuxuan pouted.

Li Ling froze for a moment.

"The movie hosted by Han Sanping should be reliable." Li Ling murmured, but Zhang Yuxuan's words disturbed her state of mind a bit.

After all, Wu Baige is really good at shooting gunfight movies, such as the true colors of heroes, and Wind Talker is a war movie, and it is also a gunfight type of war movie.If the Windtalker still has the element of gunfights that Wu Baige is good at, then the movie Chibi, the people in it all use cold weapons, war movies with cold weapons.Can Wu Baige really shoot well?

"Yuxuan, are you not optimistic about the Chibi project?" Li Ling couldn't help asking.

"It's not that I'm not optimistic. After all, Chibi is also a big IP of the Three Kingdoms. Even if it is not popular in China, places like Xiaori Riguo are still obsessed with movies about the Three Kingdoms. Just selling various copyrights should not lose money. " Zhang Yuxuan explained in this way.

"...Not losing money? This is not a question of not losing money. Everyone wants to make money, but just not losing money is already considered losing money." Li Ling looked at Zhang Yuxuan speechlessly.

"The director is someone like Wu Baige, so that's all I can think of." Zhang Yuxuan shrugged and said, "I think even if the director is Chen Kexin, he should be more considerate than Wu Baige."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Who is Chen Kexin, and who is Wu Baige? The two are not at the same level at all. Wu Baige's movie loses money, and Chen Kexin is capable of making waves?" Li Ling couldn't help shaking his head.

"But at least Chen Kexin's nomination certificate is still very good, isn't it?"

"But I lost money by voting for the certificate."

"But the nomination certificate is not the big IP of the Three Kingdoms. The assassination case has almost no hot topic at all. If the nomination certificate is replaced by a big IP like the Three Kingdoms theme," Zhang Yuxuan seemed a little serious.

"Is that why you don't like Wu Baige so much? You know, it's Wu Baige. The true colors of a hero, and Mission: Impossible made in Hollywood, are all very good movies." Li Ling couldn't help but said.

"That was his original work, and now Wu Baige is old! And whether it's a hero, or Mission: Impossible, it's not a war movie. He just shoots movies with small scenes. War movies have grand scenes. Let Wu Baige shoot the movie? Why not let Zhang Yimou come? Let Zhang Yimou be the director, the movie will never lose, not only earn money, but also win prizes!" Zhang Yuxuan couldn't help but say.

From Zhang Yuxuan's point of view, even though Wu Baige has been in Hollywood, his ability is completely incomparable with Zhang Yimou.

Whether it is a literary film, or a blockbuster costume film, even if it is a war film, Zhang Yimou is definitely better than Wu Baige, even much better.

"Zhang Yimou is still busy with the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, how could he have time to make a movie." Li Ling couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Wu Baige has been in Hollywood anyway, and he is also a good big brother." Director, he has never made a costume war movie before, so how do you know that it is not good. Go try it, maybe the movie is very good. Zhou Yu, Zhao Yun, these popular characters, you can try them all. And as you said, the movie Three Kingdoms has a great market abroad, so you can also try to go abroad with the help of the movie Three Kingdoms." Li Ling persuaded.

Hearing what Li Ling said, Zhang Yuxuan couldn't help being stunned for a moment, as if, yes.

Chibi hit the streets in China, but it still made a lot of noise in Xiaotian. Even many people in Xiaotian still think Chibi is a good movie.

Zhang Yuxuan can use this movie to enter the foreign film market.
