my gilded age

Chapter 442: Let the bullets fly for a while, two emperors and one queen, and the scene is full of drama
"Bai Shiqiu, why is your name so elegant?"

"I was born in autumn. I hope I can have enough to eat in my life."

"Good name!"

"On behalf of my mother, I would like to thank Teacher Jiang for the compliment! But please call me Lao Bai."

"Hello, Lao Bai! Don't call me teacher, call me Lao Jiang."

"How is this good?"

"That's fine."

"Then...Old Jiang."

"Old Bai, I'm looking for you today because of a movie."

"Old Jiang, please speak."

"I, Lao Jiang, have read Mr. Ma Shitu's "Ten Night Stories", and there is an article about stealing an official. I think it is very interesting..."

"Okay! It's really interesting! How much does it cost?"

"Lao Bai has voted?"

"Does Lao Jiang not want me to vote?"

"How much can you pay?"

"Don't make it too inky."

"What do I want a hundred million?"

"Do you need so much?"

"No one wants too much money."

"Then I'll give you [-] million."

"Old Bai is so proud!"

"Lao Jiang is honored."

"We don't need that much, just 5000 million. I have to share the rest with some of my brothers."

"no problem."

"Junior Brother Lao Bai, do you want to play a role?"

"I am so handsome, I must be the protagonist, right?"

"impossible!"

"Okay! Lao Jiang is the protagonist, then I will play Lao Jiang's opponent?"

"Impossible! You are too young!"

"Then who am I playing?"

"Have you read the original book?"

"There is Zhang Muzhi, there is Master Chen, there is an accountant, there is Mr. Huang..."

"Come to Master Chen. We don't have an accountant, so you'll be Master Bai. How about that?"

"Then it's settled!"

"5000?"

"5000."

In this barbecue restaurant, Bai Shiqiu and Jiang Wen were coming and going, talking very fast, and they negotiated the matter. In this way, a 5000 million movie investment was completed, and the whole thing was not completed yet. more than 3 minutes.

Zhang Zhiyi on the side looked dumbfounded, why... "You two are too happy!"

As soon as these words came out, Bai Shiqiu and Jiang Wen both laughed.

Yes, it’s so happy. How can such a thing be so happy?

In Bai Shiqiu's view, of course it has to be happy, otherwise it would be boring.

Pirates of an Official, this is "Let the Bullets Fly". As long as you know a little bit about Jiang Wen's movie, you can know this information, and at this time, the script is probably still in its prototype.

Jiang Wen is like this, he is a genius, he is really a genius, but he also has his own problems. His genius is true, but sometimes the movies are made in such a way that either he is talented or no one can watch it. don't know.

There seems to be a thin line between good movies and bad movies for him, and it seems that... there is a good movie and a bad movie, so separated.

The previous one was called "The Sun Also Rises" and was adapted from a novel called "Velvet". In fact, Jiang Wen particularly liked this novel, but the novel itself was not that easy to understand.

So, after the movie came out, everyone didn’t understand it even more.

Except for Jiang Wen's impressive wife Zhou Yun, the rest is the big nose named Ren, who must have been right back then.

The box office performance of this movie was so bad that it was depressing, at least for the investors. The distributor was Bona. Bai Shiqiu had seen Dong Ge speechless and asked the sky. Fortunately, the Emperor paid a lot of money to gain fame.

If Bai Shiqiu remembers correctly, this "Let the Bullets Fly" should also be submitted by the Emperor. So now that such an opportunity is in front of him, how can he not be more cheerful?

Jiang Wen is an even more cheerful person. Didn't he watch the debate between Bai Shiqiu and Lu Yan before? Originally, he was really not very familiar with his junior brother, but after watching that scene, he I feel that I and Bai Shiqiu are likely to have a temper.

So, he didn't have any special impulse, so he did some simple research, that is, he talked with teachers he knew in the school, such as Teacher Chang, Xu Dapao, and the principal Lao Xu.

I even saw some stills of Bai Shiqiu, those of him acting in plays. As for the others, they are all easy to find.

Looking at it this way, Jiang Wen 'liked' it even more.

Emperor wanted to reduce the investment. The previous "Sun" really cost too much money, and it really lost a lot.

Don't underestimate the last movie, it was indeed a very artistic film, but here Jiang Wen shot it really grandly.

It's not a gunfight movie, but hundreds of boxes of guns and ammunition were consumed... Don't believe it, it's really like this. At that time, Emperor Yang's boss felt a little stupid when he saw these consumptions.

Was it a kickback from Jiang Wen?
Can you not control it this time?
Jiang Wen owns a film company called Buyihuhu, but it is still too small in terms of capital. If he doesn’t ask for other people’s money to make his own films, he won’t be able to make anything at all. He spends money, not others. Not satisfying.

This time, it was naturally through some connections. If he wanted to see Bai Shiqiu to talk face to face, someone would tip him off that Liu Ye was hosting a banquet for Bai Shiqiu, so he should call Liu Ye.

Liu Ye is really a nice person. He was a little scared when he received a call from senior brother Jiang Wen.

He did it, he did everything, even Zhang Zhiyi was there.

Zhang Zhiyi had discussed it with Liu Ye, so that he could appear here. Liu Ye had a conspiracy in his mind. Could it be that senior brother Jiang Wen, Zhang Zhiyi and Bai Shiqiu, the relationship between the three of them... is a bit complicated?
So, this situation came to be. Jiang Wen really didn't expect that he thought he was generous enough, and his junior brother Bai Shiqiu was actually more generous than him.

This is called 5000 million, not 5000 yuan.

Once he heard Zhang Zhiyi's words, what else could Jiang Wen do?
"Hahaha..." laughed heartily, and then Jiang Wen said: "As a man, of course you have to be faster!"

As soon as these words came out, Bai Shiqiu quickly said, "Lao Jiang, I don't know if you are fast or not. I, Lao Bai, am not a fast man." It's a joke, our man's fame throughout his life cannot be ruined like this.

But this word...

"Hahahaha!" Jiang Wen laughed even harder. He really liked his junior brother more now.

"..." Zhang Zhiyi was embarrassed for a while. This guy Bai Shiqiu...but immediately gave him a wink, and then put on an aggrieved look, "You men are just bullying us women. .”

"How do you say this?" Jiang Wen looked at Zhang Zhiyi with his unique eyes.

To be honest, this senior brother has such a strong aura that even a big star like Zhang Zhiyi, who has seen the world, feels a little confused, but she also feels a little enlightened, knowing what is coming next.

"Senior Brother Lao Jiang, to be fair, no matter what you do, there must be a first-come, first-served basis?"

"Oh, how come first comes first?"

"Before you came, Junior Brother Bai Shiqiu and I were already discussing business..."

Jiang Wen smiled and interjected: "So you two were talking about business and nothing else?"

If this question were asked by an ordinary woman, she would definitely get angry and run away, but Zhang Zhiyi was different after all. She shyly said, "Of course it's not just about business."

While talking, he still looked at Bai Shiqiu and gave him a very meaningful look.

Bai Shiqiu quickly intervened, "Isn't this a barbecue?"

Barbecue, outside of business is barbeque.

"Hahaha...yes! Barbecue!" Jiang Wen laughed endlessly.

Zhang Zhiyi was unambiguous, "Damn it!" He was not scolding anyone at all, and then said: "But after all, I negotiated business with Junior Brother Bai, and Senior Brother Jiang, you came later, but now you are the first The business has been negotiated, is this reasonable? Is this right? Isn't this bullying?"

Bullying, this sentence is really powerful, especially it triggered a lot of thoughts in Bai Shiqiu.

Inexplicably, I thought of the line in "Let the Bullets Fly", 'Isn't this bullying an honest person? '

Can Zhang Zhiyi be bullied?

Of course not, Bai Shiqiu also understood at this time what was going on.

"Then what do you call bullying? How do you call not bullying?" Jiang Wenshun asked.

"It's simple. No matter what, senior brother, you have to let me, a junior sister, have some respect, right?"

"But the question is, has the business been negotiated now?"

"Yes, the business negotiation between you and Junior Brother Bai has indeed been concluded, but what about mine?"

"Junior sister, you want me to help you negotiate your business?"

"I have this idea, senior brother, do you want to help?"

"What if I don't want to?"

"Then Senior Brother Jiang is just bullying people."

"Hey~ That makes sense."

Bai Shiqiu watched from the side. He was just watching a show. This was not the meaning of watching a show, but the real meaning. In front of him were two acting sects competing for their acting skills.

To be honest, just now, the conversation between Bai Shiqiu and Jiang Wen felt very much like in "Let the Bullets Fly". It can even be said that it was staged in advance of that drama.

Right now, Jiang Wen and Zhang Zhiyi are also fighting, but why are they fighting?

"Senior sister, do you have any good plans?" Bai Shiqiu interrupted again.

"Haha..." Zhang Zhiyi said with a smile: "This plan is very simple. My movie has already been selected. I would like to invite Junior Brother Bai Shiqiu to star in the male lead. It is best to have some investment cooperation. Let's work together I started working on this movie, but looking at it now, I was overtaken by Senior Brother Jiang. That’s okay, but it’s between us. I just thought that this would be great, Junior Brother Bai would come to me to be the leading actor, and invest in something like that. Let's not talk about the salary. I can't treat my junior brother badly. Well, how about I play a heroine in a movie invested by my junior brother? Senior Brother Jiang, Junior Brother Bai is now a big investor in your new film. Are you ready? What about me, the heroine, what do you think..."

"Okay!" Jiang Wen immediately made a decision, and then said with a smile, "Actually, there is no real heroine in my play, but you are here, you can act or not, and you just happen to play a couple with Lao Bai , Master Chen has a wife."

This word...

Zhang Zhiyi suddenly beamed and said, "Look, isn't this great? Junior Brother Bai, how about it? Is it fair or not?"

When Bai Shiqiu heard this, of course he completely understood that he would play the male lead in Zhang Zhiyi's movie, and Zhang Zhiyi would play the female lead in "Let the Bullets Fly". This sounds fair, but...

It’s obvious that you’re at a disadvantage!

So, he said simply: "I still want money, 1000 million. As you know, I'm not raising the price."

Yes, 1000 million, Bai Shiqiu's film salary two years ago, his value should have increased a lot now, given this figure now, it is definitely a price of conscience.

Zhang Zhiyi heard this and said unhappy: "Why are you so fussy with senior sister?"

It was very interesting. When Jiang Wen saw it and put it all together, he burst out laughing. Finally, he said directly: "I think junior sister is pretty good. As for other things, you two can talk about it on your own, and I won't interfere." Let’s make peace and come back.”

I'll go back as soon as I can, but what do you mean by 'you two'?

However, Zhang Zhiyi was very happy, "Brother Jiang, go slowly, haha..."

"..." Bai Shiqiu's face turned a little green, "Senior sister, you, you are satisfied."

"Of course." Zhang Zhiyi smiled... Don't tell me, her face is really beautiful.

Why are you laughing?

The scene just now was only missing a camera. If it could be captured, it would definitely be a classic in film history. Two movie kings and one movie queen were competing for their acting skills, but the purpose was an audition!
It can really only be said to be an audition, and Zhang Zhiyi was satisfied. She won the heroine role in Jiang Wen's new film. At this time, she didn't know that the film would be called "Let the Bullets Fly."

It was Bai Shiqiu who was unhappy, he was like Master Tang in the movie...in the original book it was Master Chen...Zhang Zhiyi was his wife, but he was not clear with Zhang Muzhi.

But don't mention it, his acting skills are not inferior at all, otherwise Jiang Wen wouldn't be able to leave so happily.

"Junior brother, aren't you happy?" Zhang Zhiyi's smile was amazing.

Bai Shiqiu said helplessly: "Senior sister won another match. No matter how you calculate it, it's all my fault, right?"

Zhang Zhiyi tapped Bai Shiqiu's forehead with her jade-like fingers, "It seems like this, and I don't think so. How can a senior sister let junior brother suffer? How about I compensate junior brother?"

"How to compensate?" Bai Shiqiu was a little curious.

"Did junior brother come here by car?" Zhang Zhiyi's pretty face was full of spring.

"You want to get in my car?" What Bai Shiqiu said made him feel a little embarrassed.

Now get on the bus. . .
