Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Friday, 19 November.

Tomorrow, Zhang Zuting and Lu Zhiyuan will be coming to Jingzhou. On that day, it is just Saturday. In the evening, you can set up a private kitchen reception in Mingyun.

Pei Qian took a taxi today and went to see several buildings near the South Highway Station, so he picked them out.

At the end of the day, a home with finely renovated features, more than 140 flat, at a price similar to that expected by Pei Huan.

Moreover, because Pei Qian paid directly in full, the price was also discounted, converted to 1.63 million according to 95%.

It's just that the house isn't finished yet, and it's due in March next year.

Nearly two or three years ago, when the price of the house started to rise, the good houses were all maturity houses. They were basically robbed before the house was turned over. We really had to wait for the house to be delivered before buying it, so we might have to buy it second-hand.

And that's something that can't be done.

Therefore, Pei Qian considered that the house is the most suitable for the moment, although it is a maturity house, it is also bought on slate.

Anyway, Pei Qian is not in a hurry. His parents currently live in a small place, but they have lived there for many years and not too long.

Besides, even if the room was handed over, the laboratory, the soft clothes, the furniture, etc. would still be busy for a few months and would have been in no hurry.

I bought the house and solved a lot of problems.

The only thing that annoys me is that there are only 200,000 left to look at my personal property. Pei Huan can only feel sorry for himself. It's really a long way back before liberation.

But it doesn't matter, as long as the billing cycle pays off, the house will be back in minutes!

……

Friday was a busy day, signed a contract for the purchase of a house, and when I got back, I took a direct break.

On Saturday afternoon, Pei Qian asked the company's driver, Sun Xiao, to send himself to Ming Yun's private cook and wait here to receive Zhang Zuting and Lu Zhiyuan.

Both of them flew this afternoon. Zhang Zuting arrived earlier and had already gone to the hotel to rest. Lu Zhi arrived later. Pei Qian also arranged a special transfer for him. After the hotel settled down, he came to eat in Mingyun private chef.

In addition, Zhu Xiaozhi, as the director of the film, must also be accompanied, has arrived early.

Pei Qian and Zhu Xiaozhi waited while eating snacks in the bag room.

Pei Qian noticed that Zhu Xiaozhi's briefcase contained two printed scripts, which should be prepared for Zhang Zuting and Lu Zhiyuan.

Pei Huan also had a headache about the script.

Zhang Zuting said he wanted to see the script before he was fooled by Bae Qian.

This time around, most of them will ask to see the script.

Pei Qian also knows that both of the actors are relatively selective of the script, not the kind of money to shoot anything at will, so the script is definitely not foolish here.

Lao Zhang's side is relatively nice to say, after all, everyone is friendly and willing to cooperate.

Lu Zhiyuao and Bae Qian are not related, and there is a certain amount of coffee, so how can you take a movie made by an unknown director randomly? Even if the money was enough, people would look at the script and decide whether or not to shoot it.

So Pei Qian was a little upset.

However, Zhu Xiaozhi's appearance does not seem to worry at all. Instead, he has a bamboo chest and is full of confidence.

Bae Qian feels this is ridiculous. Why is Zhu Xiaozhi holding it like a Nobel Prize for Literature?

Pei Qian tried to probe and ask: "Zhu Zhi, Lu Zhiyuan came here today, mostly to ask about the movie script, then..."

Zhu Xiaozhi didn't wait for Pei Qian to finish his speech. He slapped his chest: “Don't worry, President Pei, this is nothing! ”

“Your script is so well written, the more you read it, the more you might like it, the more you ask for a reduced reward to join! ”

Pei Qian: “…"

Isn't that a little too optimistic?

But now that this has happened, Pei Qian will not be able to ask much, but will have to wait until after the meeting to see him again.

Shortly afterwards, the company's seven business vehicles arrived. Zhang Zuting and Lu Zhiyuan got out of the car and walked into Ming Yun's private kitchen under the waiter's reception.

They each brought an assistant to follow behind them.

Star belt assistants are common. After all, most stars are busy and must have someone around to help them, otherwise they can't do it alone.

Each of the two walks out with only one assistant, already quite low-key, some when the red actor walks out with ten or eight assistants, enjoy the feeling of the stars all the time.

Pei Qian also first saw Lu Zhiyuan in real life, before seeing his photos and movie clips on the internet.

For Lu Zhiyuan, Pei Huan's first feeling is: handsome!

Actors are also divided into and out of the camera. Some actors look good in the camera. In reality, it is as if their whole body is glowing. There is no ordinary handsome and beautiful women can compare; while some actors are not particularly prominent in reality, they can greatly increase their points after appearing on camera with their makeup.

Lu Zhiyuan is more special, he is very handsome in reality, but not so handsome in the movie...

It has to be said that actors do rely on “audience ties," and some of them look good, but they just don't like it, which is impossible.

“President Pei! Long time no see. ”

Zhang Zuting quickly walked forward and shook Bae Qian's hand.

“President Pei, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

The way to know is right behind you.

After a few cold sentences, Pei Qian led the people to the bagroom and sat down.

Again, in the biggest suite on the third floor of the villa, Zhang Zuting looked out through the floor-to-ceiling window to see the sunset spill out onto the borderless pool, reminiscent of the first time.

This scene is really... I can't stop swallowing.

When Zhang Zuting remembered the delicious dishes he had had last time, he couldn't wait to eat.

However, President Pei did not look at Zhang Zuting or Lu Zhiyuan at this time, but rather at Zhang Zuting's assistant.

The last time was when your boy wrote down the location of Ming Yun's private cook and brought in all the rich people of Jingzhou City!

Bae is angry, but there's nothing he can do. For the sake of fried pork hooves, he still won't compare with you.

Pei Qian introduced Zhang Zuting and Lu Zhiyuan to the identity of Zhu Xiaozhi director. The people were chilled for a while, and a dish came along.

Lu Zhiyuan has also eaten many good things, but still has a surprising look on his face when he sees the dishes here.

Before I came, I heard there was a great restaurant in Jingzhou City, but he didn't expect much. After all, it was filmed all over the country. What good venues haven't been there?

It turns out that the dishes here are totally unbeatable in the best restaurants he's ever been to, even in the environment and service!

The food entrance, Lu Zhiyuao has also relieved a lot of bitterness in recent times.

The new movie went to the street, Lu Zhiyuan had been closed at home for several days, and had not planned to take any new movies in the near future.

The last movie's so good, it's all in the street, make another one, go on the street?

I can't hold it.

Lu Zhiyuan didn't really think about whether to take the film or not. Relatively speaking, he came to Beijing more to relax than to work.

At this time, however, I watched a good dish come up and feel the attentive service of the waiter. Lu Zhiyuan felt the importance that President Pei attached to himself.

I just wanted to come and have a look. I suddenly felt a little embarrassed after eating this meal.

As the saying goes, people talk softly and have short hands. Although Lu Zhiyuao didn't really want to take the film, he should take the initiative to talk about it.

With this in mind, Lu Zhiyuao proactively said: “President Pei, Zhu Zhui. Let's talk about the play briefly. ”

“To be honest, I've been feeling low lately and in poor shape. Mr. Zhang must know that the state of the actor has a great influence on the performance of the act. I've been speculating before, mainly worried about not being good at the show, causing trouble for everyone. ”

“Besides, I am now a 'box office poison’ and I am afraid to get you involved. ”

Lu Zhiyang did not say death, first set a lower posture, if you refuse at the end, you can make both sides face to face.

As for whether or not to make this movie, you have to read the script and understand each other's sincerity before you decide.

If it's a rotten movie, it's a euphemism; if you think there's hope for a little fire, you can try it.

Pei Qian smiled: “Where do you think, Mr. Lu, your talent is severely buried! ”

“In the eyes of others, you are the poison in the box office, but here I am, you are the best man in the movie! ”

“I have high hopes for you. ”

Lu Zhiyuan knows that President Bai's words are mostly clichés.

But seeing President Pei's sincere eyes, he was still moved.

Looks like Pei is always sincere!

It's hard to find.

“President Pei, I am ashamed that you trust me so much. ”

“President Pei, Zhu Zhi, I feel the sincerity of both of you. But can I see the script first? ”

Sure enough, it's the script.

Pei Qian also knows that Lu Zhiyuan probably won't agree to participate without showing the script. I had to look at Zhu Xiaozhi and let him hand over the two scripts to Zhang Zuting and Lu Zhiyuan respectively.

Luke wiped his hand with the hot towel from the remote service provider, took the script solemnly and looked it over carefully.

Pei Huan looked at Lu Zhiyang's expression from anticipation, to confusion, to shock, to stagnation in the end, it felt a little bad.

And Lu Jiao simply turned over the script and didn't know what to say for a while.

This is a rare script!

Of course, it can't be said that I haven't seen it at all. Many of the art films in Europe and the United States do have some kind of drama, but in China, I don't think I've seen it like this...

In Lu Zhiyuan's acting career, he has never played such a leading role.

Isn't that a little sad?

I started out as a licking dog, and I couldn't even take the plate. It was easy to develop along the way. I turned around and abandoned my old love. Finally, it was calculated and turned back into a poor egg.

When did Lu Jiao ever suffer such a grievance?

Previously, the male lead character, one of whom was a winner in life, was surrounded by beautiful women like clouds, and the career was smooth.

Even if it is a tragedy, it has to be a mighty mountain river and die violently.

Even a male partner? Often the kind of cute and charming villain.

It's a good movie, we agreed to be the lead actor, and the lead actor is a little miserable! Neither lovable nor pathetic. It's disgusting to hear the story.

Lu Zhi looked at Bai Qian remotely: “President Bai... this script...”

He didn't know how to describe it for a while.

Seeing Lu Zhiyang's expression, Pei Qian felt a little bad. It turns out that this ten-thousand poison return script still has a discouraging effect on this "box office poison”...

Think about it, people's previous films are a flurry, but in the play, either the hero is a good man, or the president is a bully, the worst has to be a worry-free rich second generation, workplace elite, etc.

Now let people play poor bastards, or lick dogs, white-eyed wolves, and end up being fooled around, can this person please?

Pei Qian looked at Zhu Xiaozhi, indicating that Zhu should export the horse at this time.

Anyway, whatever you say, just blow the script and stabilize Lu Zhiyuan's mind!

However, Zhu Xiaozhi hasn't spoken yet. Zhang Zuting has slapped his thigh: “Good script! This script is amazing! ”

“I've never seen such a profound script in so many years of filmmaking! ”

“This is a spicy sarcasm that criticizes the mindset of excessive obsession with consumption, social agitation and the alienation of money to people. This script is very thoughtful and deserves to be tasted in detail! ”

“President Pei, where did you find the writer? The level is really high! ”

Zhu Xiaozhi replied in due course: “This script was written by President Bai himself. ”

Zhang Zuting raised his respects: “I can't see that President Bai still has so many talents! Sure enough, it's the Able! ”

“No, President Bae, the script has been written. Then why didn't you talk when I asked you on the phone? ”

“Oh… I see, because of humility and low profile! ”

“President Pei, modesty is right, but it's not good to be too modest. That's how we relate. It would be a shame if we changed actors and if we didn't hear the script, we might not come! ”

“Let's not talk about friendship price, just don't get paid, I will definitely come and shoot! ”

Pei Qian looked somewhat confused at Zhu Xiaozhi and again at Zhang Zuting. Things were going completely beyond his expectations.

What's going on...

Originally, Zhu Xiaozhi was prepared as a toy, and wanted to use it to ignore Zhang Zuting and Lu Zhiyuan.

In the end, Zhang Zuting went too far. He took the initiative to Danto, and the three of us suddenly wandered off together and Lu Zhiyuan arrived!

Lu Zhiyuan was still confused, he just looked at the script roughly and didn't get the point in the script very well.

Zhang Zuting continued to turn over the script and said with emotion: “Mr. Pei, if I am correct, this script should be made specifically for the Road Brothers, right? ”

Pei Qian:?

Tailor-made?

Too much thought. When I wrote this script, I didn't even know who Lu Zhiyuan was...

But it's impossible for Pei Qian to tell the truth, right?

Can only reveal a smile of obsession, neither admitting nor denying it.

Seeing this smile, Zhang Zuting became more certain. He looked at the road next to him and said, “Brother Lu, do you see it? ”

Lu Zhiyuan fainted.

I can see a wool ball!

Tailored for me?

Do I look like a dog licker?

Seeing Luke's distracted expression, Zhang Zuting explained: “Brother Lu, do you know what you need most right now? ”

“It's not just a lack of a good script, a lack of a good character. ”

“More importantly, a good person is missing! ”

Lu Zhiyuan's expression is still confused.

Zhang Zuting continued: "A good person is not a tall character in a movie." Successful people "in a movie like this. You've played a lot, but you keep getting even. Do you ever wonder why? ”

“A good person, not a flawless character, means being able to highlight your personality to the fullest, make your audience feel and remember your role! ”

“Just like when I was younger, the only way to get the Shadow Emperor was to play a psychopath. ”

“And the masculine character in this script, who looks useless, is an incredibly good character, complex and fulfilling. ”

“This character is an all-round hammer for your acting, and it also gives you a complete escape from the stereotype of your audience. ”

“Why didn't you have an audience for your role before? Personally, it's mainly you who are so handsome! ”

“Because it's so handsome, it makes the audience look very dramatic, grounded, unrealistic, and difficult to integrate into the play. ”

“I think that face value has become to some extent your baggage, and you are reluctant to let go of that baggage, and it is difficult to break through your original mentality when playing these roles. ”

“How can you be impressed with an audience when you're always playing someone with no flaws? ”

“So this character is so tailored for you, it's perfect! ”

“To be honest, if I were a teenager, I would definitely be the lead actor. Now, I'm old enough to give you this chance. ”

Listen to Zhang Zuting, Lu Jiao is silent.

Pei Qian and Zhu Xiaozhi were also silent.

It's just the silence of three people, not for the same reason...

Lu Zhiyuan's silence was due to the fact that he thought it was the heart of a Shadow Emperor and it was very popular.

Regardless of the popularity of Zhang Zuting now, he is finally an old senior with much higher achievements than himself.

If Zhang Zuting feels that the role is very good, then it means that the role is really good.

Zhu Xiaozhi is an emotion. Zhang Zuting is an old theater bone. He really understands the movie.

From the reaction of the two actors alone, Zhang Zuting's level is much higher than Luke's!

Bae Qian was lost.

He thought Zhang Zuting, like Lu Zhiyuao, had great opinions about the script and needed to work with Zhu Xiaozhi to ignore it.

However, Zhang Zuting really liked the script!

Not only did he like it himself, he also helped Lu Zhiyu, even said “This script is made for Lu Zhiyu” such nonsense...

Pei Qian wants to know now, does Lao Zhang come from the heart, or is he simply ignoring Lu Zhiyu?

The former?

It's unlikely, I wrote this script deliberately for all kinds of poisons. How can I make Zhang like this old skeleton who has played a lot of theatre?

Well, that's mostly because I'm the boss of Zhu Xiaozhi and the Golden Master of Zhang Zuting, both of whom have difficulty objectively evaluating the script, which is why it's so bragging.

Look, I don't know Lu Zhiyuan, there's no response to this script!

So, Zhang and Zhu Xiaozhi should both be helping Kulu Zhiyu.

Nice work!

The two of you have done a great job today. If you can pull "Box Office Poison" into the crew, you must give them extra money!
