Chapter 127 The Embarrassment of Hong Jinbao
It is normal for friends to bring some people who want to know Wu Cheng to a party like this. Just like Zheng Shaoqiu brought Wang Jing, the fat man.
This time, in addition to Zeng Zhiwei brought by Hong Jinbao, there were also Dudu sister Zheng Yuling who came with Zhou Run, and Di Bola, who was Xie Tingfeng's mother. However, at this time, Di Bola had not yet married Xiao Xie's father and Lao Xie, let alone Xie Tingfeng.
These actresses in their youth were all quite beautiful, but compared to Zhao Yazhi and the others, these were not his food at all. He just talked to them politely, and as for the opportunity to cooperate, he was basically just polite.
In the corner, Lan Jieying pursed her lower lip and said, "They are coming, and Brother Cheng can't stop them from coming! Moreover, look at Brother Cheng's appearance, I guess she's just polite to them, just like my parents and guests joked, she's also polite!"
Compared to Zhou Huimin, Lan Jieying is somewhat more mature. After all, she is thirteen years old. Although she looks small and delicate, she looks like a child who never grows up.
Compared to her in her previous life, she should have changed a lot in this life. At least Wu Cheng thinks she is very lively and cheerful. If you have anything, you will tell him about it. This is a good change.
"The adults are really hypocritical!" Zhou Huimin curled his mouth and said.
Lan Jieying smiled and said, "We will grow up too! Last year, Brother Cheng was as old as me, and now he has grown up so big! Maybe I will grow up so big next year!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Huimin looked at her, then looked at Wu Cheng in the venue, and finally said with some concern: "If you were as old as Brother Cheng, would you still play with me? In school, your classmates called me a little fat girl, and if you don't play with me, they would bully me!"
"As long as Xiao Min is good, I will definitely play with you!" Lan Jieying smiled, reached out to take a hand on Zhou Huimin's chubby little face, and chuckled.
"Hate! I'm messing with someone's face again."
...
"Meimei, have you thought about it? Should I turn back and mention it to him? Or I think he will forget that matter!" On the other side, Zhong Chuhong and Mei Yanfang stayed together and whispered.
But her eyes kept glancing at Wu Cheng, and Zhong Chuhong felt very uncomfortable when Wu Cheng took Zhao Yazhi to say hello to his friends and threw her aside.
However, in front of so many people, she would not embarrass Wu Cheng, otherwise she would only make outsiders laugh. She could still tell the difference between the matter.
Moreover, when Wu Cheng was provoking her, she knew that Wu Cheng liked others, and she was willing to get into it, so no one else could blame him.
Just as Wu Cheng said at the beginning, with an example like him on the side, her vision of choosing a boyfriend is indeed much higher. Every time she compares, she cannot compete with Wu Cheng.
While this made her very disappointed, she also gritted her teeth at Wu Cheng.
Of course, thinking about Wu Cheng's sweet words to her, she felt blushing and her heart was full of happiness. She felt a little stupid, and even though she knew she could not compete, she had to overestimate herself.
Mei Yanfang was also confused, but she felt that Zhong Chuhong was lucky than her because at least Wu Cheng and Zhong Chuhong had a deeper relationship than her. She felt that Wu Cheng just treated her like a sister, which made her empty heart even more unresolved.
She was also hesitating whether to continue this hidden relationship, because she knew that Wu Cheng liked more than one woman, except Zhao Yazhi and the others, there was Zhong Chuhong next to her, staring at her! This made her a little at a loss about the love she had once longed for.
In addition, she also felt that her sister had a similar feeling to Wu Cheng, but she felt that her sister had a smaller chance because she could feel that Wu Cheng was better to her than her sister.`
Even she doesn’t have any chance, what other chance can my sister have?
Before, when she heard Zhong Chuhong mention to her that Wu Cheng planned to ask them to make a movie called "Happy Ghost", she was still very happy, at least in this way she could get along with Wu Cheng.
But now, she doesn't know if she is going to act in this drama.
Therefore, Zhong Chuhong's question made her hesitate. In addition, Wu Cheng had high expectations for her in music, and she didn't know whether she had the talent for acting, for fear of delaying singing due to acting. Then he must be very disappointed!
This mood made it even more difficult for her to make a decision!
Just as they were quietly discussing these trivial matters, the music started.
Wu Cheng played a song for everyone, and then gave the opportunity to communicate on site to his friends. He took Hong Jinbao to the study on the second floor.
In the study, Aunt Chen brought in two cups of coffee and then retreated.
Wu Cheng picked up the coffee, took a sip, and said, "Brother Sanmao, try it. It's a good one. The authentic product I brought back from California. Aunt Chen's hand-grinding is not a melted product!"
Hong Jinbao smiled and took a sip, and smiled and said, "It's a little bitter, not used to it!"
"This taste is authentic!" Wu Cheng smiled, baked a cigar for him, threw it to him, and then pushed the whole box in front of him, saying, "I brought it back, but I'm not used to it, you can take it back later!"
Seeing that Wu Cheng asked him to drink coffee and roast cigars for him, Hong Jinbao smiled and said, "A Cheng! Are you going to start a film company in Heli, are you going to prepare to go to Heli?"
Wu Cheng shook his head and said, "It's not the time for Xiangjiang movies to enter Hollywood. But you can try it out there and cultivate the audience base first. After all, our films are different from Mr. Li Xiaolong's original films. Moreover, our fame cannot be compared with Mr. Li Xiaolong in Hollywood. If we have a lot of chance of losing in the past, we will have a high chance of losing."
Wu Cheng said, then laughed again and said, "Today, I mainly want to tell you about some of our Donglong's investments in Hollywood. I mentioned to you on the phone before, although you rejected the proposal to invest in Hollywood at that time. However, I still want to confirm that you really don't want to continue investing in Hollywood's branch?"
When Hong Jinbao heard this, he felt a little embarrassed. He felt that he refused to invest in Hollywood and was a little unfaithful. But he really didn't have much confidence in investing in Hollywood movies.
In Hollywood, once a movie fails to invest in, the loss will be tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, which he feels a little overwhelmed.
Although he also yearns for Hollywood, he also knows that the road must be taken step by step. He is not as aggressive as Wu Cheng, and he has no confidence in Wu Cheng investing in the movie "Star Wars".
So he refused to invest in a Hollywood branch, which made him, who has always been loyal, feel that he was a little unfair and unfaithful this time.
"A Cheng, I'm sorry!" Hong Jinbao said embarrassedly.
Wu Cheng waved his hand to stop him from continuing to apologize, and smiled and said, "It doesn't matter! I know that my behavior seems to you to be a little impulsive. However, since you are not willing to invest in Hollywood movies, the name of the branch needs to be changed."
"A Cheng, I'm sorry!" Hong Jinbao said again, "I know, your investment vision has always been very accurate. But I really don't have much confidence in investing in Hollywood movies now!"
Wu Cheng laughed when he heard this, and finally got up and came to Hong Jinbao's side, patted his shoulder, and said, "Brother Sanmao, I said, don't be polite to me! We are brothers. If you are polite to me, then should I be polite to you too? If you are much more polite, the relationship will gradually become slim. Although you refuse to invest in Holi, there is no branch in Baodao!"
Hong Jinbao is willing to participate in the investment in Baodao Branch. First, the investment in Baodao’s films will not be too large. Second, most of the Baodao Branch may be filming art films.
A company does need some films to win some awards to support its face. Otherwise, a film company will make all commercial films, which is unreasonable.
"Actually, I think I took advantage of you! With your current value, if you cooperate with someone to open a film company and they will share half of your shares, you will definitely not be willing! Thinking about it this way, don't you think you are losing a lot of money when you cooperate with me?"
Hong Jinbao laughed when he heard this, and finally shook his head and said, "Acheng, don't say these nice things to coax me again! How much do I have? If I didn't cooperate with you to start a company, I would only shoot movies in Jiahe at most. Even if I open a small company like the Xu brothers, I have to be restricted by Jiahe. Can it be the same as it is now?"
Hong Jinbao was quite self-aware and said, "Besides, although I only have half of the shares in Donglong International, the value of only half of the shares is now several million. If the shares on the theater chain are added, it will be nearly ten million. Although most of these are loans from banks, the value of our company is there."
In addition, he can direct and act, and get enough pay every time, and he doesn't have to worry about filming funds. Compared with the Xu brothers, he feels much better.
Wu Cheng smiled, sat back on the chair, and said, "How is the filming of "The Prodigal"? I think you will shoot "Fu Xing 2" after you finish filming this film, and will be released next summer."
"No problem. I have long wanted to film "Fu Xing 2". I have also conceived some of the scripts. I will sort them out for you to see if those plots are useful."
"Okay!" Wu Cheng paused and said, "In the future, the 'Fuxing' series will be left to you to operate! I will check the script at that time, how about it?"
"Okay!" Hong Jinbao nodded and said excitedly.
However, when thinking about Hu Huizhong, the actor who plays the Overlord Flower in "Fuxing 2", Wu Cheng hesitated a little, should he go to Baodao to find this actor?
