most charming

The wine was just ordinary white wine, and Feng Ran didn't specially prepare wine just because he wanted to entertain Lin Tao.When he was free, Feng Ran would also drink a little at home. Feng Mengna knew his habit very well, warmed it with hot water, served it out, and poured it on the hot water. When it was Ouyang Dongyu's turn, she hesitated , and finally treated him as an adult male.

"Thank you Lin Tao for helping Nana, come and have a drink!" Feng Ran's speech was very short, unlike some leaders who talked endlessly.

Several cups collided together, making a crisp sound, and then drank it all in one gulp.

The small wine cup can't hold a lot of wine, Feng Mengna became a small worker who poured wine, she filled it up after everyone drank, and had to heat it up when it was cold, so busy, she didn't eat much since the beginning of drinking. mouth meat.

Feng Ran said that he didn't prepare much meat, but in fact, everyone didn't eat much. After all, meat is not easy to digest and feels full.Just as he finished eating the prepared meat, Feng Ran got up and said, "I'll get some more!"

Zhao Anhua stopped him, waved his hands and said, "It's almost done, I can't eat anymore!"

"You can't eat it, and Lin Tao and Dongyu can still eat it. This is nothing to young people." Feng Ran insisted on preparing barbecue again.

Lin Tao said at the right time: "Uncle Feng, we have almost eaten, so there is no need to prepare any more."

Ouyang Dongyu also echoed: "Yes, I really can't eat it anymore."

Feng Ran looked at it for a long time, and asked as if confirming; "It's agreed, after this time, there will be no next time."

Lin Tao said with a smile: "The barbecue is very delicious, but I really can't eat it anymore."

"Okay, tidy up, let's go into the room and talk."

At this moment, Feng Mengna showed her sensible side, she quickly packed up her things, she could even do this kind of work, she didn't look like a rich lady at all.

Everyone rushed into the house, the living room was very spacious, and the temperature in the room was higher. Although there was a charcoal stove outside, it was still not as comfortable as being inside.

The protagonists of the conversation were Feng Ran and Zhao Anhua, and Zhao Xiahong was also brought in from time to time. The three young people could only listen.

After a while, Feng Mengna got up and went out, and came in with a boiling iron pot, ready to make tea for everyone.

"Nana, go and take out that piece of Pu'er tea cake, it's just to cleanse the stomach after eating the barbecue."

Feng Mengna responded, and took out a carefully wrapped tea cake from the cabinet. At this moment, Lin Tao stood up and said, "I'll come!" As he said, he took the tea cake from Feng Mengna's hand.

Feng Ran was a little surprised. It is a matter of course for the host to make tea, regardless of whether it is delicious or not. It is rare for a guest to ask for tea. If you are a little narrow-minded, you may even think that Lin Tao is disgusting The workmanship is not good.

Zhao Xiahong explained from the side: "Let Lin Tao come, he is good at making tea."

It was the first time Feng Ran and Lin Tao met, so he would not misunderstand that he meant to be sarcastic, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then I will trouble you."

Lin Tao smiled, and quickly pried off a piece of tea from the tea cake, only brought out a small piece of scum, Feng Ran was relieved to see that people who don't know how to use tea knives will often break the tea cake, and even good tea will be spoiled. Became the end of tea leaves.

The water temperature in the iron pot was just right. Lin Tao sat in front of the sea of ​​tea and made tea skillfully.Soon, the unique tea fragrance of Pu'er tea spread in the room.

Some people like to drink light Pu'er, while others like to drink thick Pu'er. Lin Tao couldn't figure out the taste of everyone, so he took a trick and brewed it with a moderate concentration, at least everyone can accept it.

The taste of Pu'er is so strange that many people can't accept it, but it is very good for the body, especially in winter, drinking some Pu'er can also warm the stomach. It is a very good tea to drink in winter.

Feng Ran took a sip of the tea. Both the water temperature and the taste were very good. At least such a good piece of tea cake was not wasted. He smiled and said, "It's not easy for Lin Tao to have good tea skills at such a young age."

Lin Tao said modestly: "I usually like to drink a little. Uncle Feng won the prize, so it's not so good."

Zhao Anhua smiled and said, "I figured it out, your kid is best at pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger!"

Lin Tao smiled without saying a word, how can people answer such words.

Fortunately, Feng Ran took over the conversation at this time, saving him from embarrassment.

"Old Zhao, how is your preparation for the new movie going?"

Zhao Anhua glanced at Lin Tao out of the corner of his eyes, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and said, "It's almost there. Once the heroine is settled, you can start the machine."

"The funds have been settled?" Feng Ran was obviously a little surprised. Originally, he expected to take this opportunity to cooperate with his old friend, but he didn't expect to be one step behind.

"Well, we've already negotiated, and we just need to sign the contract." Zhao Anhua didn't hide it from him, "You still know the investor, why, you want to get involved too?"

"That's what I planned at first. You directly rejected my subordinates who contacted you. I originally thought that I would come forward in person. Who knew that I was preempted." Feng Ran was quite helpless about this. At first, he was rejected by Zhao Anhua and made himself feel uncomfortable. I was very depressed, my old friend for many years didn't even give me this bit of face. Later, I found out that the movie was a Hollywood commercial, and I felt a little more comfortable.

"Those subordinates of yours, relying on your face, call me so arrogantly, can it be true that I am embarrassed by money?" Zhao Anhua snorted, obviously dissatisfied with the behavior of his old friend's subordinates.

It was naturally impossible for Feng Ran to know the details, and he was taken aback when he heard it, but he knew that his old friend was not a gossip, so it must be that his subordinates were not doing well.

He hastily smiled apologetically at his old friend, and said, "I really don't know about this. I will ask carefully later, and I will never tolerate it."

Zhao Anhua waved his hand and said, "Forget it, young people, it's understandable to be a little reckless in doing things. What's more, China Film Group is so good in China, it's completely understandable to be a little arrogant." He is not a hypocritical person, at most he just doesn't cooperate. That's all, there's no need to be so embarrassing.

Feng Ran nodded. No matter how much he said, it was useless. After all, the matter had passed, but how to deal with it later was his business.

Remembering that his old friend said that the investment was made by someone he knew, Feng Ran asked curiously: "Whose fund? I have seen your budget, but it is quite a lot, and the production cost is hundreds of millions of dollars at every turn. Few domestic companies can do it." If you bear it, could it be Huaying?"

"No, I'm not that familiar with Yanlu. If I have to choose between China Film and Huaying, then I will definitely choose you, and I won't choose Yanlu." Zhao Anhua chuckled, giving his old friend enough face.

Zhao Anhua felt very comfortable after hearing this, and couldn't help laughing: "Of course you can say whatever you want now, and you won't really cooperate."

"That might not be possible!" Lin Tao interjected suddenly, "Given China Film Group's status in China, it must be a cooperation that benefits both sides, but the content of the cooperation needs to be discussed in detail."

Feng Ran didn't understand why Lin Tao said such things suddenly. In his opinion, it was an outrageous behavior for an actor to dictate to the director.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Anhua nodded and said: "If that's the case, then you can consider it!"

Feng Ran was even more confused. His old friend would change his mind because of Lin Tao's words. Could it be that Lin Tao has some special identity?

Zhao Anhua smiled. The two had known each other for so many years, and it was rare for Feng Ran to have such an interesting expression. However, he did not continue to tease his old friend, and directly pointed out Lin Tao's identity.

"Are you an investor?" Feng Ran had to admit that he had misread it, and he couldn't see the businessman's temperament that he should have from Lin Tao.

"To be precise, the Phantom Studio I invested in is the investor of this movie, and I am the owner of the investor." Lin Tao had a faint smile on his face, "I have another identity, the chairman of Lianxie Group .”

Feng Ran had heard a little bit about Zhou's Group changing hands, but it was only a listed group after all, and such things happened every year across the country, so he naturally didn't need to ask in detail.

However, Lin Tao has the ability to become the chairman of a group at such a young age, and he has the courage to invest in movies worth hundreds of millions of dollars, which makes him admire.

"Your funds..."

"It's abundant, and there's no need for a third party to come in." Lin Tao told the truth, not afraid of hurting Feng Ran, after all, it was a fact.

Feng Ran nodded and asked, "Then why are you willing to cooperate with China Film Group?" He didn't mention himself, but the group, which meant he meant to discuss business.

"Naturally, I am optimistic about China Film's domestic status. Even if it is a Hollywood commercial film, at least one-third of the global box office is contributed by the domestic market. Although I have just entered the industry, it may be considered short-sighted, but the data will not lie. It's human." Lin Tao's chatter and laughter diluted Feng Ran's intention to talk about business.

"and then?"

"Then the distribution of the film in China will be completely dependent on China Film." Lin Tao smiled lightly and expressed his intention.

"How old are you this year?" Feng Ran asked suddenly.

"27..." Lin Tao was speechless, but he answered truthfully.

"It's not, it's not!" Feng Ran shook his head gently, "I can't tell that you are so young. When I was your age, I was still feeding pigs and cattle."

"The times are different, so it can't be used for comparison." Lin Tao chuckled. As the chairman of China Film Group, it is definitely not a good thing for Feng Ran to praise a junior so desperately.

"Young people, don't be humble, it's okay to be proud once in a while." Feng Ran asked Zhao Anhua, "Old Zhao, you think I'm right?"

How could Zhao Anhua not know what he wanted to do, and immediately retreated, but he would not participate in it. He shook his head violently and said, "There is some truth to it, but Lin Tao has always been modest. If he wants to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, naturally he can't be proud."

"Director Zhao understands me." Lin Tao gave Zhao Anhua a thumbs up.

Feng Ran glared at Zhao Anhua angrily, and snorted, "It shows that you are a good person now!" After a pause, he smiled at Lin Tao, "Well...Xiao Lin, can we discuss the investment matter again? ?”
