Chapter 179

Although the wine table culture is hated, it is indeed very useful, and everything that is convenient or inconvenient can be said on it.

After all, if you don’t drink, are you not giving me face?
Fortunately, nowadays Xu Yang probably has no one who can make him drink more, not even the two kings of Huayi.

There are only so many front lines, and offending one would offend a group of second and third lines, which is not worth it. Of course, the hatred of blocking the road is there.

At this time, there were three people working on the table, one was a migrant worker, one was a student, and one was a playboy. It seemed that the last one did not match the first two.

But the actual situation is that a philanderer must have strength to be philandering, and Xu Zheng happens to be like this.

With a multifaceted heart, there is always something to talk about among the people at the table. But after the third round of dishes, it is time to get down to business.

Xu Zheng glanced at Wang Baoqiang. Wang Baoqiang had been thinking about what they had said before they came, so he immediately understood what Xu Zheng meant.

Wang Baoqiang took advantage of Xu Yang's new drama that he had just finished filming and said, "Hey, Xu Yang, is there a character named Tong Bushu in your new drama?"

Xu Yang was stunned for a moment and replied: "There is one. What's wrong? Do you know her?"

After saying this, Xu Yang blinked, looking innocent, but he already knew it in his heart.

Let me tell you, why did Wang Baoqiang and Xu Zheng find me to do this? It turned out to be because of her.

She might not tell Wang Baoqiang about herself, but Bao Buqi would tell Boss Chen.

And Wang Baoqiang's next words confirmed what Xu Yang thought.

"She has a friend who is very familiar with me and told me that you acted very well. After hearing what he said, I came to see you."

After saying that, Xu Zheng quickly continued: "It's like this. We are making a movie. I am the main creator, and Bao Qiang and I are the leading actors. But now we are missing a role and we can't find the right person."

"So when Bao Qiang heard about it, he slapped his head and said that he knew you and you could play this role."

After saying this, Xu Zheng looked at Xu Yang without blushing or breathing. If Xu Yang hadn't known the "script", he might have believed his lies.

Xu Yang pretended to ponder for a moment and said: "Brother Xu, can I read the script? It depends on my role."

Xu Zheng was surprised when he heard this and said: "Okay, why not!"

As he said this, he took out a folder from under the seat cushion, which probably contained the script.

After Xu Yang took it, he opened it and saw, my dear, the whole script and the whole folder are just one page!
I was complaining crazily in my heart, but it didn't show on my face at all. I read this page of script seriously.

When Xu Zheng saw Xu Yang taking over the script, no matter how calm he was, his heartbeat would speed up.

My family knows my situation, and regardless of what he says, this character is actually a minor supporting role that only appears for a few minutes.

To be honest, if Xu Yang wants to enter the film industry at this time, it is unlikely that he will start as a protagonist, but it is also unlikely to be such a small supporting role.

This is the reason why Xu Zheng is worried. After all, Xu Yang is different from others. First, he is not familiar with him, and second, he is still a first-line player. Whether he can win depends on whether he can impress others.

Xu Yang read it for about ten minutes. To be honest, it didn't take that long to read a script that lasted less than one page.

But taking so long does mean that Xu Yang is very interested. This is for Xu Zheng. He has to be convinced that he acted because he was interested in the movie and the script.

After reading it, Xu Yang glanced at Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang. One of them had a pure face, but in fact they were panicking. The other had an expectant expression on his face. In fact, he was the most so-called one.

Facing their gazes, Xu Yang didn't talk about the script, but talked about the recent situation.

"You don't know, I've been very leisurely recently. I haven't been able to film any movies since I finished filming last month. You guys have chosen really well at this time."

After saying that, Xu Zheng complained in his heart, "You are so popular that you must have no shortage of roles. The problem is that you don't want to take them."

In fact, this is indeed the case. The role of Xu Changqing in Xianjian Sanbai Tofu is really popular all over the country.

And Xu Yang, who plays this role, has been booking dramas since August, but to be honest, Xu Yang can understand the costume drama, but why is there an anti-war drama? It is really an anti-Japanese drama.

Xu Yang refused all of them, and the Tang people or Cai Yinong also had the same opinion. After all, no matter how much the Tang people in later generations tried to do, the Tang people at this time still had good vision and skills, and they would definitely look down on these crooked melons and cracked jujubes.

Having said that, several people also knew that Xu Yang said that things should be done, but the two of them had to be accurate.

Xu Zheng asked: "Brother, do you think you will accept this role?"

"Brother, I won't cheat you. There is no money for this drama. Bao and I both have less than 100 million, so brother, I can't give you much remuneration."

Hearing this, Xu Yang put his hands down and said, "Brother Xu, you can come to me because you think highly of me, and talking about money hurts your feelings."

"I accepted this supporting role, and I didn't pay a penny. I acted as a friend."

After Xu Yang finished speaking, Xu Zheng showed a look of surprise and disbelief, and was interrupted by Xu Yang just as he was about to speak.

"However, I have a condition. I want to invest in it."

Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang looked at each other and said, "Brother, I don't understand. What do you mean?"

Xu Yang said with a firmer voice: "I want to invest in this movie."

Now Xu Zheng really couldn't sit still. He didn't know if Xu Yang was acting on a whim or something. He only had one thought now, and he just wanted to get Xu Yang to join him.

Only when the main creator makes a movie do you realize how rare it is to get investment.

Although we had previously negotiated with a company to invest 700 million in this film, we have only received less than 300 million. I am afraid there will be some twists and turns in getting the money in the future.

But now a new benefactor has arrived. In Xu Zheng's eyes, Xu Yang is no longer a dear brother, but a shining big enemy...the benefactor's father.

"Brother, to tell you the truth, we are in a really bad situation. We were scheduled to start production at the beginning of the month, but in fact we have to postpone it until now because the funds are not in place."

"It's fine if you come now, and our crew will have hope if you come."

Hearing this, the corner of Xu Yang's mouth twitched. Just now he looked like he was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, but now it must have changed too quickly.

But Xu Yang also understands Xu Zheng's change. After all, life requires money, so it's not shabby.

It's just that Xu Yang, as a new investor, couldn't bear to see Xu Zheng's miserable performance. He said bluntly: "Brother Xu, how much investment does your film currently have?"

Hearing that Xu Zheng couldn't play tricks now, he told Xu Yang everything about the current situation.

After Xu Zheng finished speaking, Xu Yang said: "Brother Xu, I can provide the money, but what do the investors over there say?"

Seeing this, Xu Zheng gritted his teeth and said: "Now that we are no longer outsiders, I will tell the truth. I'm afraid they are not prepared to contribute any more money. It depends on how much you can invest."

Now Xu Yang felt confident. He was not impressed by the box office performance of this movie, but it definitely did not reach a high level. After all, you will know what movies will be released next year.

"Let the Bullets Fly", "Tangshan Earthquake" and "Avatar", which one of them is not killing the entire schedule.

Therefore, Xu Yang's expectation is that if the total investment exceeds 1000 million, he will run away as soon as possible. What he just said is a fart.

But Xu Yang felt that this possibility was slim. After all, if Sui had 1000 million, he would not say that the two leading actors' combined income did not exceed 100 million.

But now it seems that the other party has some regrets. After all, when this movie was first launched, it was considered a rush product.

Fortunately, Xu Yang really knew the script. Seeing Xu Zheng reveal his secret, Xu Yang gave him reassurance.

"Brother Xu, you also know that you don't make much from investing in movies these days, so I don't have much to offer."

Wow, Xu Zheng felt like it was getting dark. Is there really nothing he could do?

"But if you can persuade the previous investor to give up the remaining investment, I can make up the difference."

After Xu Yang said this, Xu Zheng was stunned. He didn't expect Xu Yang to be so brave. He thought it was incredible that Xu Yang could invest 80 million.

After all, when making movies these days, you get one at a loss. Except for blockbusters, small-budget movies are really not even enough to make back the money.

What Xu Yang said so far, he made up the difference, and Xu Zheng ascended to heaven directly.

As for the previous conditions, he simply ignored them. After all, the other party did intend to evacuate.

And why didn't he invest? Again, investing in movies these days is really a loss. Most of them can get a five-digit return, which is pretty good. Being able to make a profit is really a blessing.

"I won't say anything else. I'm here to thank you, brother."

"Well, get a bottle of wine!"

After asking for a bottle of wine, Xu Zheng drank three glasses of wine in a row. He still wanted to drink but was stopped by Xu Yang.

"Brother Xu, please don't be like this. If you really want to thank me, make this movie a good one and make it well. Don't let me lose all my money."

After three glasses of wine, Xu Zheng drank more and more urgently. His face was already a thousand reds, but he could not hide his excitement.

"Brother, please be rest assured, this movie will definitely be made!"

After the two left, Xu Yang also poured himself a glass of wine at the wine table and had a drink.

Now that there is no one left, Xu Yang can be happy. This drama will definitely make money, and it will make a lot of money, at least as much as Xu Yang made from releasing an album.

After returning home, Xu Yang told Yang Ting the news. Although Yang Ting didn't understand where Xu Yang got his confidence.

But since Xu Yang's idea was to come as he said, and he would not listen to advice, he just let him go.

After all, so far, except for a few loser investments, Xu Yang has really never made a mistake.

When Xu Yang was mobilizing funds, Xu Zheng on the other side also acted quickly. Within three days, he called Xu Yang and said that he had settled the other party.

Xu Yang was not ambiguous, and asked Yang Ting to go to the Tongya of Nine Provinces to negotiate with them that day, and won the remaining investment share with 400 million.

After the funds were in place, Xu Zheng pulled up the crew in just two days, which shows that he was really short of funds.
