most charming

No one knows what Zhang Tieyuan and Bai Qingchun talked about. Lin Tao only knows that when Bai Qingchun came out, the original decadence was swept away, and the whole person's spirit was lifted, and when he looked at him, his eyes were full of grateful.

In any case, Bai Qingchun is also the secretary of the Mingzhu Municipal Party Committee, so it's quite rare for a person of his level to be moved, especially for a bastard like Lin Tao.

However, Bai Qingchun didn't stay too long, it seemed that he was in a hurry to go back to Mingzhu to arrange things.

Lin Tao sent him out, and when he came back, he was also preparing to say goodbye to the old man. It was too late, and the old man should go to bed earlier.

Zhang Tieyuan didn't reveal too much about the content of his conversation with Bai Qingchun, he just said "sell your face" lightly, and Lin Tao understood that the old man gave all the credit to himself, and couldn't help being moved.

With Zhang Tieyuan's status, he can still consider Lin Tao, which is really rare. This is equivalent to making Bai Qingchun owe Lin Tao a lot of favors, and also helping Lin Tao win over a senior official.

Lin Tao didn't drive, and few taxis would run here near the Xishan Villas. Lin Tao didn't see a taxi after waiting for a long time in the cold wind, but there were quite a few cars going in, passing by him. , The people inside will basically look at him, most of them are curious, how can there be someone waiting here for the car in the middle of the night.

A whistle sounded behind him, Lin Tao turned his head, and a domestic Chery sedan was parked beside him, with the windows down, Zhang Yang said, "Get in the car, I'll see you off!"

Lin Tao was not polite, opened the car door and sat in. This was the first time Zhang Yang expressed kindness to himself, and he had to give this face.

In fact, Zhang Yang has always been regarded by Lin Tao as a child, so he has never paid attention to his words and deeds, let alone getting angry with him, not to mention the relationship with the Zhang family.

Zhang Yang drove silently and ran a long way before he said, "What you said to grandpa at night is quite profound."

"Actually, it's nothing. Didn't you see that I'm also here to ask for help?" Lin Tao smiled and shook his head, "The old man is wise, and we may not even be able to do things that he can do easily. He can think of We racked our brains and might not be able to figure it out, so there is absolutely no harm in asking more. What's more, the old man is your own grandfather, and you are the only male in the Zhang family's generation, so are you afraid that no one will support you?"

Zhang Yang remained silent for a long time before he said: "Before, I always thought that you wanted to use the Zhang family's prestige to raise the banner, so your attitude towards you was not good. Now it seems that I am the one who treats you badly." Misunderstood, sorry."

Lin Tao was a little surprised. With Zhang Yang's personality, he would actually apologize to him. This kid's transformation is really not small.

"I still say the same thing, whether you recognize me or not, I will treat you as my younger brother." Lin Tao smiled, "The Zhang family is an excellent amulet for me, and can keep me at critical moments. Understand, you must not be too greedy. If you have read some fantasy novels, you will know that many powerful magic weapons are basically useless once used. And the Zhang family is such a magic weapon for me. Use it a few more times, but the more you use it, the less often you use it. And I don't want to overdraw my relationship with the Zhang family. Whether it's grandpa, godfather, godmother, sister Ying, everyone treats me very well, even you , I have never seen it as an enemy."

Lin Tao was talking to Zhang Yang from the bottom of his heart, regardless of whether the words would reach Zhang Tieyuan's ears in the end.Lin Tao spoke with sincerity, and Zhang Yang was also very shocked, especially when he saw Lin Tao and his grandfather discussing "strategies" tonight, and found that he was too far behind, and there were too many things to learn, and he realized that Lin Tao It's not easy. It's not easy to be able to establish a relationship with the Zhang family in this capacity. It's probably a very difficult task for me.

"Thank you for teaching me a lesson."

Lin Tao smiled and said, "Don't be so outrageous, just treat it as a communication between brothers. It's still the same sentence, you are sister Ying's younger brother, and naturally you are also my younger brother, whether you recognize it or not."

Zhang Yang nodded. Although he was no longer hostile in his heart, and even agreed with Lin Tao's words, it was still impossible to admit it verbally because of face.

Lin Tao knew that he had a good face, so he never thought of forcing him to admit his identity, so it was enough for both parties to know what they were talking about.

When he got there, Lin Tao said, "Drive carefully when you go back." He got out of the car with a warning, and watched Zhang Yang leave.

Go back to Guo's house to wash, and sleep until dawn.

Guo Zhan's promotion was a happy event, so he called everyone back. Now that the matter has been announced, they are naturally busy with their own careers.

Lin Tao originally planned to go back to Junbei with Guo Yiling, but he received a call from Bai Baisheng on the way, asking him to go to Mingzhu.Lin Tao knew in his heart that Bai Baisheng must have received some news, and this was a disguised show of favor with him.

Guo Yiling knew that he had something to do and understood, so she flew back to Junbei by herself, and Lin Tao boarded the plane to Mingzhu half an hour later.

Bai Baisheng personally went to the airport to pick up Lin Tao, which shows how much she attaches importance to this matter.

There are many powerful people in the world, even Bai Baisheng is not exempt.However, Lin Tao didn't take it to heart. In fact, this matter couldn't be more normal. If he still cares about it in his heart, it would be too cheap.

"Lin Tao, I was in a bad mood the day before yesterday, so I neglected you, so don't take it to heart."

After getting into the car, Bai Baisheng took the initiative to speak.

"Sister Bai, look at what you said. You are not being negligent. I am worried that I can't help you if you have something to do." Lin Tao said with a smile.

Bai Baisheng couldn't help but give him a sideways glance, and said, "You, when did you learn how to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger? Fourth Uncle came back overnight, and I didn't know that you had already done everything, why didn't you tell me earlier? I?"

Lin Tao knew that no matter how he explained it, it was useless. Zhang Tieyuan had already left an impression on Bai Qingchun, and it must have changed again when it reached Bai Baisheng's ears. He couldn't explain it clearly.

"that……"

Lin Tao thought for a while, and finally chose to laugh without saying a word. Since Bai Baisheng thought he did it by himself, he should go all out and keep the mystery.

When he didn't speak, Bai Baisheng took it as acquiescence, and said, "Did you do this on purpose because you were angry with me for my bad attitude?"

Lin Tao suddenly smiled wryly, and said, "Sister Bai, that's really not the case!"

Seeing that he couldn't tell the truth, Bai Baisheng snorted, obviously dissatisfied with his "non-cooperation".

Back at Baisheng Group, Zhao Xiahong was also there, with a deep smile on his face, obviously in a good mood.

Lin Tao could also guess that the crisis of the Bai family must be resolved. Bai Baisheng has no worries, and he will definitely fulfill his promise and invest in Zhao Xiahong to make a movie. This is a chain reaction.

Sitting down in the office, Bai Baisheng took out a stack of documents and said, "Look, if there is no problem, sign it."

Zhao Xiahong flipped through the pages one by one, and it was actually an investment contract.

"6000 million is enough for me to make a movie." Zhao Xiahong sighed with joy.

These days, film productions cost hundreds of millions of dollars, and domestic calculations are in RMB, while overseas calculations are in US dollars.However, the cost of most movies is still controlled at the tens of millions level. After all, the investment of hundreds of millions of dollars is very risky. Unless it is a heavyweight blockbuster, it is very likely that the cost will not be recovered.

Lin Tao asked, "What movie do you plan to make?"

"Action movies!" Zhao Xiahong grinned, "There is a market for action movies now, as long as they look good, they don't need too many special effects. This can save a lot of money."

"For an action film, 6000 million yuan is actually a bit small investment. It is estimated that the remuneration of a martial arts star alone will account for almost half." Bai Baisheng said, "You can contact some small investors. Take some, and add another 800 million, the budget should be enough."

Zhao Xiahong said: "I can reduce the budget, especially in terms of actors. I don't plan to use too many roles. I just need to play well. Of course, I can't look too bad." After finishing speaking, he began to take aim at Lin Tao .

Lin Tao was keenly aware of the danger, and immediately said: "Don't look at me, I have never acted before, I can play a guest role, but I can't be the protagonist!"

"Number two is also the leading actor, but the salary..." Zhao Xiahong laughed.

"Damn, you're a little too much. I'll get you the investment, and I'll help you with the cameo, why don't you plan to give me the salary?" Lin Tao quit, and only a fool would agree to do something thankless.

"Don't worry, I didn't say I won't give it to you." Zhao Xiahong hurriedly comforted him, "That's right, you saw, Director Bai only invested 6000 million, so why do you want to hire a slightly similar heroine? The vase is definitely not enough." Well, those with slightly better acting skills are not cheap, they are both beautiful and good at acting, it is not certain whether they can accept my invitation, Hua is really nervous about it.” After a pause, he continued, “If not, let’s sign a sharing contract , I will not give you a film salary, but after the movie is released in the future, you will share the profits."

If the movie sells well, the profit share will be considerable, but if the 6000 million yuan cost cannot be recovered, Lin Tao will most likely not get any money.What Zhao Xiahong did was two-handed preparation. After all, this was his first movie, and he was not sure whether he could make money.However, most people would not reject the profit sharing. For example, the best domestic blockbuster "囧四囧" cost only tens of millions, and the box office was more than one billion. Small investors only got tens of millions of shares, which is a huge profit.

Lin Tao stared at Zhao Xiahong with a sneer on his face and said, "Old Zhao, Lao Zhao, I have found out that you are really dark. It is good to say that movies make money. You are a white wolf with empty hands. You became famous without paying a penny. Movie If I lose, I don't even have a salary, even if I cheat people, I don't cheat friends?"

Zhao Xiahong smiled and said: "Look at you, you should believe in my strength. Can I make Bai Dong's 6000 million compensation?"

Lin Tao took the contract and looked at the terms inside, and immediately said: "I signed a sharing contract with you, how much can I get at most?"

"You're an actor, so the proportion will definitely not be high. If you want to make money, a million dollars will definitely be fine." Zhao Xiahong said with a guilty conscience.

"That's boring..." Lin Tao threw the contract on the table, "As a friend, I must support your career! In this way, I will invest 1000 million yuan, and we will sign the contract with the three parties and recalculate the share. , give you a cameo for free!"

Zhao Xiahong was too surprised. He didn't expect that Lin Tao would open his mouth to vote 1000 million.

"This..." He couldn't agree, after all, the contract with Bai Baisheng had just been signed.

"It's stipulated in the contract that you can find other investors, but my share of the profits cannot be low." Bai Baisheng said with a smile, "Lin Tao's willingness to invest in you shows that he has confidence in you, but in fact, I don't want to take 6000 million It’s a waste of time for you. A total investment of 7000 million yuan is considered a big deal in domestic films. You can figure it out, if you still can’t make money..."

Zhao Xiahong's heart broke out. With an extra budget of 1000 million, he can hire better martial arts instructors and do better stunts. He is quite confident about the script. If he doesn't make money, he will quit this business forever in the future!

"Okay, that's it!"

Zhao Xiahong was so cruel, he couldn't bear the child not being able to catch the wolf, so he fought!
