I make a thriller, it's God chasing and feeding

Chapter 157 [Coming up with several plans]

The weather is gradually entering July, relatively hot,

People who are free in their spare time often start to leave the house and walk around at night.

As a relatively well-known beverage brand, there are not many people in the cafe, but most of them pack up and leave after buying at the counter, and few people sit down and talk.

However, almost everyone who enters the cafe will unconsciously cast their eyes on a corner of the store.

"That older sister over there is so beautiful... Is that a celebrity? So white, she must have put on makeup cream."

"I haven't seen it, maybe it's an internet celebrity?"

"Please, it's either good-looking or a celebrity or Internet celebrity."

"But with such temperament, he must be some kind of big blogger, right? He still wears a suit in summer."

"Maybe some kind of successful person?"

Good-looking people are always easy to attract attention.

What's more, she is a beautiful woman who is very decent and well-dressed in terms of appearance, manners, and dress.

Some people in the cafe were whispering, and some were typing and communicating face to face through the chat software on the mobile phone.

The kind of people who can talk loudly about others are still a minority after all.

Among them, of course, there are still some people who are ready to make a move, planning to strike up a conversation.

But soon, when their gazes fell on the opposite side of the cold white-skinned beauty, they immediately stopped planning to get up.

They couldn't see the front face, it was a man who vividly reflected the words 'fierce', 'strong', and 'burly' just by relying on his back.

"It's probably a marriage."

"You shoot your movie, and I'll be in charge of the post-production, promotion... and you just need to be a good director."

"Compared to a marriage relationship, we should be more like a business cooperation relationship, helping each other, but it will be closer."

Putting down the black teacup in his hand, Zhang Xueming calmly looked at Lu Zhengyi in front of him, "Although I say that, a little...arrogant, but I personally feel that I am pretty good in appearance, and in terms of personality, I have been in contact with you until now. It should have been clear, too."

"If we are together, we should be regarded as the right family."

"Also, we can both solve most of our troubles through this marriage."

Although in terms of purpose, it should be a confession and a marriage proposal.

But in terms of rhetoric, she, as always, prefers to cooperate and discuss business.

Zhang Xueming doesn't look shy or yearning for love.

Of course, there seems to be no such emotion between them.

Compared with love, it is more like a friendship in the same trench.

Lu Zhengyi looked at her without speaking.

After a long time, he took a sip of the fruit juice in front of him.

"...To be honest, I'm not really surprised."

Lu Zhengyi spoke softly.

The moment he was suddenly 'proposed', he really didn't react.

But when I think about it carefully, it makes sense.

This is Zhang Xueming's style.

"I'm also approaching thirty now. Although my family said... that they didn't particularly urge me to get married, they still mentioned a few things occasionally."

Zhang Xueming looked at Lu Zhengyi in surprise, and then smiled frankly, "As an only child, I will definitely get married after the right age. I believe you are the same. Although you are a few years younger than me, I think , you can’t escape the fate of being spoken to occasionally.”

"Everyone is an adult. It's not appropriate to talk about love and love, and I don't believe it. But for now, I have a good impression of you. If we want to get married, as two Individuals, or the combination of two families, are more suitable."

"And as you mentioned before, on the issue of overseas expansion, if it were just you, other people in the company would certainly not make such a big bet. But if we get married, then the relationship will be different. Yes, you will also be a part of Light and Shadow, I believe they will be happy to promote the development of overseas routes."

She pushed out her chips.

"Now that I've finished talking about the benefits to me, what about the benefits to you, Light and Shadow?" Lu Zhengyi replied casually, "I can't be the only one who benefits, right? If that's the case, I dare not agree."

"Of course our light and shadow will be beneficial." Zhang Xueming replied seriously, "We will get a... a director with great potential and a strange man with mysterious abilities."

Lu Zhengyi shook his head, "Don't expect me to use those superhuman powers to help you do something, some things can be done, but some things can't."

Zhang Xueming asked back, "But if I, or my family members, are victims of these things, you will always be willing to help your own people, right? Get closer to you, at least safe On the one hand, we can guarantee it.”

Lu Zhengyi hesitated, "Okay, this is a bit."

"The other thing is about the impact on our company's operations." Zhang Xueming said here, the smile on his face became bitter, "You should know that our company has recently started to change the direction of operations, towards promoting those online celebrity bloggers. Do you want to operate the Lord’s line?”

"I've heard you say it."

Lu Zhengyi nodded, "What happened? Did you get tricked by the new vice president?"

"He was not cheated, he was doing very well."

Zhang Xueming was a little helpless, "But it is precisely because the business is so good that the company's label has begun to be shaken."

"You should know, the chain of contempt in the entertainment industry, right? Veteran actors look down on traffic stars, traffic stars look down on [-]th-tier small stars, and celebrities who don't have a celebrity feel that they are different from those Internet celebrities. Of course there are Those who make movies don't like those who make TV dramas, and those who make TV dramas don't like those who make online dramas."

"There are a lot of disdain chains of all kinds. Some people who have become popular in online dramas are often even ridiculed as Internet celebrities instead of actors. Our light and shadow is probably in such a situation now, and we are about to change from the status of an old media company. , Transformed into an internet celebrity incubation base.”

Speaking of this, she paused, "It is true that after the transformation, we have made a lot of money. Our company has gradually started to have its own output, and we no longer need to be Party B as before, relying on Party A's support. projects to make a profit."

"But the resources we can use are getting less and less, because the class has been lowered unknowingly, and many big projects such as 'running', 'yearning', 'five ha'... , almost cut off contact with us, they don't want us to put those 'Internet celebrities' of the company into it to increase exposure."

It's like a person who writes traditional literature suddenly discovers that online literature seems to be more profitable one day.

Therefore, he abandoned his original style of writing to learn new genres and new ways of writing.

As for the money, he did earn it.

But in the past activities such as calligraphy meetings, ancient book appreciation meetings, garden tours, etc., he was no longer invited.

Although it is said that the level of these things does not seem to be so important in the eyes of others.

But the chain of contempt exists, and it is also subtle.

Those who make movies and have been on the big screen really look down on those who make TV dramas and online dramas.
Those who sing ancient songs don't look down on those who sing popular songs.

The bloggers of the mixed-length video platform feel that the short video platform is a group of Internet celebrities who produce unnutritious videos.

Guangying is in such an embarrassing situation now. If they find out later, they should change from an established company that can easily get a large variety show guest spot to a blogger who can only arrange their subordinates to go around. The hot internet celebrity incubation base is here.

"So you hope to rely on me, or my crew, to maintain your company's class and status in the circle."

Lu Zhengyi understood what Zhang Xueming meant.

"Yes, I know your crew has basically taken shape." Zhang Xueming nodded, "It's called... the Mei Civet Cat Crew, right? A new name has been registered. Like Chang Zhengwei, Yu Wenxiu, Zhang Yuming... something like this The actors are all signed to your crew."

"But in fact, they don't have a role in every play, so...if your new play doesn't require it, they need to find audition opportunities on their own."

"But if we get married, then Guangying and your Mei Limao crew are actually a family. We are a family, and many things can actually be arranged, regardless of the two families."

As she spoke, she looked at the always calm face on the other side, and said seriously, "It can even be said that in a sense, as long as we get married, the territory of the company's movies will be handed over to you, and you will be the person in charge."

"Whether it's the selection and training of actors, or the publicity and shooting arrangements that our company needs to cooperate with your crew, you can mobilize many things yourself, instead of having to do a job through me as before. Apply, this is a win-win, mutual benefit."

She was really just talking business.

She shared all the benefits that Lu Zhengyi could get, and the benefits that Guangying could get.

I just need to write a project book——"About the goals that can be achieved after the further development of the Mei Limao crew and Light and Shadow Media"

Lu Zhengyi was silent for a while, then nodded, "Sounds good, very exciting."

"Of course, before a big company can succeed, it must go through various acquisitions and restructuring processes." Zhang Xueming smiled, "I believe that we can all take this opportunity to get what we want. result."

She believes that this cooperation has been negotiated.

Not to mention Lu Zhengyi, the client, and she, the proposer, didn't think that this cooperation would harm the interests of both parties.

"Honey, I want to taste your portion, just one bite."

At this moment, a male voice interrupted their conversation.

Zhang Xueming looked up and saw that a man and a woman didn't pack up and leave after ordering. Instead, they each took a piece of ice cream and sat down on the seats in front of them.

"……All right."

The female voice responded.

But soon, her slightly angry voice sounded, "Damn it, you ate half of it in one bite!"

"Hey."

The male voice on the opposite side smiled.

Although they call each other 'husband' and 'wife', in fact, they don't look very old.

Compared with being a husband and wife, Zhang Xueming thinks that they should be just ordinary couples, and they don't have such a deep connection.

"Row."

But soon, Lu Zhengyi, who was sitting opposite, spoke slowly, drawing Zhang Xueming's attention back, "Just now you have been talking about your and my work after marriage."

"Then it's my turn to talk."

"I want to make sure, things about life."

Since people treat marriage as a business, he doesn't mind.

Maybe doing so can last longer.

"You're right, that's exactly what you said. Everyone is an adult. What do you say about love and dislike? It's a bit empty." Lu Zhengyi continued, "According to your idea, use a more blunt To explain, it is probably to conform to the rhythm of society and get along with each other."

"Then how to live this day still needs to be discussed clearly. For example, it may be more practical to restrict by legal provisions."

"I mean, a prenuptial agreement."

He caught up with Zhang Xueming's brain circuit, and felt that this was a good decision, and put forward his own opinion.

Zhang Xueming was a little stunned, "... yes, property appraisal before marriage is indeed necessary."

She was a little surprised that Lu Zhengyi accepted this matter so easily, and had already begun to think about the future.

"There is also how to divide the joint property and responsibilities of husband and wife in marriage."

"Families on both sides, future...child issues."

"For some reasons, I am quite concerned about responsibilities. My responsibilities as a husband, your responsibilities as a wife, your responsibilities to both parents, children..."

Lu Zhengyi spoke in a deep voice, his face slowly becoming serious.

This is something that needs to be taken seriously.

Some past experiences made it impossible for him to ignore the existence of these responsibilities.

Pretending not to know and agreeing to this business for the sake of a win-win situation will be a hidden danger for the future.

Zhang Xueming: "..."

Sitting opposite, her face was slightly embarrassed.

Obviously, she didn't think too much about life.

"Sorry, I thought these things should be played down with the workload of the two of us." Zhang Xueming directly admitted his mistake, "But listening to you, maybe I really didn't think too clearly."

"You're right. We are all only children. If we get married, we can't ignore the children."

"It's because I think things are simple, no, no, it should be said, I didn't think about it at all."

She is very frank.

What the two of them didn't notice was that the voices of the young couple in the front seat gradually quieted down.

"In addition to this, there is... divorce."

Lu Zhengyi went on to say, "I think we should think about this matter in advance."

"If you get divorced, how can work and life be separated better, or life should be separated, but work should not be separated."

"There are also child custody, expenses, and the child's future support to us, inheritance..."

"puff."

When Lu Zhengyi said the word 'inheritance', there was obviously an unstoppable voice at the front table.

Then, the young couple quickly got up and left as if they were running away.

"...I didn't think it through clearly, so I came here to find you in such a hurry." Zhang Xueming hesitated and looked away from the backs of the escaped couple, "Mainly, I think this is a good opportunity to promote our mutual development .”

"But maybe, I really thought too simply. Let's do this. I will try to come up with a few plans after I go back. You can take a look at it then."

"We all think it's appropriate, let's talk about marriage."

She had taken it for granted before.

The business of marriage is different from ordinary cooperation.

In addition to considering work, marriage has to be considered in life.

Hearing Zhang Xueming's serious expression of "come up with a few plans", Lu Zhengyi couldn't help laughing.

Although just now, his back was facing the couple at the front table, he could more or less guess what happened.

Lu Zhengyi has thought about things that these young people don't need to think about when they are together, or things that they have thought about but deliberately ignored due to various pressures.

"One more thing."

Speaking of this, Lu Zhengyi made another request, "Actually, now that I realize it, the people you know about some things around me still know quite well."

"But on the other hand, I don't seem to have met any of your friends."

"The most common one is your subordinate Xiao Wang. I don't know the others. So if we really want to get married, I hope to know a little bit about your social circle. Of course, if you need to know about mine , that's fine too."

When mentioning this, Zhang Xueming finally couldn't hold back anymore.

She took out her mobile phone and tapped on the screen with a particularly embarrassing expression.

"Sorry, sorry, I'm not proficient in my business."

Zhang Xueming recorded in the notepad, "Interpersonal circle, prenuptial agreement, distribution of property within marriage, and children... Wait, I will write it down."

"This kind of cooperation is also the first time for me to talk about it. I really don't know what to think about and prepare in advance."

"Maybe a little unprofessional."

Generally speaking, when talking about cooperation, you must understand the needs of customers in order to maximize your own advantages in cooperation.

But on this matter, Zhang Xueming admitted that he was not fully prepared and not in place.

"And the parents of both sides also have to meet."

Lu Zhengyi looked at her and tried to raise her a bit.

"Yes, yes, you can see it, you can definitely see it."

Zhang Xueming quickly typed on her phone again.

"What about the wedding?"

Lu Zhengyi leaned against the back of the chair, smiled and continued.

"Ah, there is also a wedding. It feels so troublesome. Marriage."

The screen of Zhang Xueming's mobile phone was already full without knowing it.

Looking at her appearance, Lu Zhengyi was still in a serious mood, but suddenly he couldn't be serious.
