Chapter 735: Xiangyang and Liu Qianqian, who have not seen any return on their investment, transform?

"Bloody Battle at Wenshankou"?
Hearing the title of this movie, Xiangyang was a little speechless.

But after listening to Liu Xixi's general introduction, he found that the story was almost identical to "Hacksaw Ridge".

"I didn't expect that my father-in-law is so capable." Xiangyang couldn't help but feel happy.

Of course, he did not forget Lao Xiang's contribution.

As for how the two of them got together, Xiangyang didn't care at all.

In this family, he is an outsider. The older people in the family like to form alliances, so how can we stop them?

Of course, he was not wrong.

He married Liu Xiaoli and gave birth to such a beautiful daughter. Isn't that great?

The key is that Xiao An is also very good-looking.

After meeting him once, he sincerely felt that his father-in-law was just as capable as himself in having a daughter.

Principal An is half a catty.

He is eight taels, slightly better.

Who said that he gave birth to two little fairies at once?

"What did Director Zhang say?"

"He really wants to give it a try." Liu Qianqian said with a smile. Today she had witnessed the ability of Huaying President Han to deceive people.

At first, director Zhang Mouzi was willing to refuse.

After all, what he was thinking about most in his heart was "The Flowers of War".
But Mr. Han said that we should shoot this film first to test the waters.

Since "Assembly", movies about historical themes such as "The Whistleblower" and "Founding of a Republic" have been released one after another and achieved good results.

However, these films do not focus on depicting war scenes.

If you want to start a project to make a war movie about 70 years ago, you have to work hard on the props and strive for perfection. The money problem is easy to solve.

But in terms of time, it doesn’t mean that you can make it whenever you want.

It needs to be studied.

The script needs to be reviewed and approved repeatedly.

Time is always there.

This is all true.

Director Zhang Mouzi knows this better than anyone else.

And when Han Sanping said with great courage that he would use this movie as a foundation first, he would be willing to sacrifice his life to help Zhang Mouzi get the second film approved.

Zhang Mouzi agreed.

There is nothing we can do about it. The time point of "The Flowers of War" is a bit sensitive anyway.

No one can guarantee whether the higher-ups will have any opinions about using large amounts of footage to depict the heroic performance of the soldiers at that time.

so.
"Haha, Mr. Han has a really good mouth." Xiangyang, who had been to the theater and watched "Eight Hundred" and "The Flowers of War", felt that Han Sanping was just fooling around.

Who said that taking pictures is not allowed?

Even "Jinling, Jinling" can be released normally. As long as it is not fabricated, how can there be suspense?
Han Sanping is simply trying to fool Zhang Mouzi.

Who asked him to? He paid for it.

Whether it is "Bloody Battle of Wenshankou" or "The Flowers of War", the scale of investment is not small.

It is easy to understand that Zhang Mouzi agreed to this because he valued the endorsement of Huaying, a huge investor.

This is just like Feng Dapao pointing at Hua Yi.

After all, hundreds of millions of dollars were invested, but the box office was really not as good as expected. How can such a commercial blockbuster be made without a good cooperative relationship?
"Hehe~ That's what I thought too." Liu Qianqian nodded. "On my way back, Director Zhang even thanked me."

"Thank you for what?" Xiang Yang was a little surprised. "Why, did they assign you a role?"

"Not really." Liu Qianqian nodded with a smile, "But I might make a cameo appearance in a few scenes if necessary."

“It’s nice to have a cameo.”

When Xiangyang heard this, he felt happy for his wife.

"Then you have to let Dad."

"My dad said that he would just write an outline and the specific scriptwriting would be done by professionals." Liu Qianqian explained briefly.

During the communication process, Han Sanping also made a special call to Principal An to express his gratitude.

As for the complete script, as Principal An had hoped, there was someone specifically responsible for polishing it.

Of course, his name will not be erased.

This way, it is convenient and quick.

This Liu Yingxiong is in SZ, and his information is also properly preserved in the country.

He doesn't have to fly back and forth.

Liu Qianqian finished explaining the general arrangements for today, and Xiangyang nodded.

I didn't expect it to be so fast.

“By the way, I also called Mom and Dad.” Following her lover’s example, the “Mom and Dad” Liu Qianqian was referring to were of course Lao Xiang and Lao Zhao.

"My dad must be very happy."

"Hehe~"

Liu Qianqian said, how could it not be a happy thing.

I heard from President Han and Director Zhang that after the crew returns to Beijing, they will go to have a meal with Lao Xiang and thank him in person.

"Then I guess my dad wouldn't agree." Xiangyang thought about his father's temper.

"Who said that~" Liu Qianqian curled her lips. Lao Xiang disagreed, but Mother Zhao happily invited them to her house for dinner. She personally cooked to entertain Director Zhang Mouzi.

"."

Xiang Yang was speechless.

How could I forget that my mother is a fan of director Zhang Mouzi?

"After we finish filming here, my mom and I will go buy some gifts for my parents and bring them back."

When talking about going home, Liu Qianqian said with a smile that she didn't believe that if she brought the two little beauties home, the old couple would not want the things they brought back.

"You've spent all your time on my parents." Xiangyang shook his head helplessly.

What is differential treatment?
Every time he brought something home, he would just leave it there to gather dust.

Even if Liu Xixi just bought some breakfast to bring over, the old Zhao and Xiang couple would smile happily.

"What do you mean by playing with your mind?"

Liu Qianqian raised her head arrogantly out of habit and questioned.

"I'm just saying this in a nice way."

"Don't think Laura didn't tell me, you big liar!"

"That's when she called, and Tom Hiddleston and the others came over." Xiangyang sighed dejectedly. Why did they come one by one, no matter if they were friends, assistants or relatives?

They all turned their elbows toward Liu Xixi.

Am I alone?
"Keep making up stories, you big liar." Liu Qianqian interrupted Xiangyang's nonsense and said, "Tell me, who did you sleep with yesterday?"

"How could I possibly sleep with them in my arms!" Xiangyang retorted.

This is slander.

They drank too much last night and went back to the room to sleep together, but each of them had his or her own exclusive seat.

Little John slept on the floor.

Benedict Cumberbatch sleeps on the sofa.

Tom Hiddleston was curled up on the small sofa, his legs draped over the wooden table, covered with a blanket.
And of course he himself slept in a comfortable big bed.

This isn't the first time.

We all have experience on how to get through this night.

"Then you admit that you lied?" Catching the loophole in Xiangyang's words, Liu Qianqian's bright eyes flashed with a hint of cunning.

"I" Xiangyang swallowed and said confidently: "You know best whether I am innocent or not."

As soon as the embarrassing words came out, Liu Qianqian said "Pooh".

She knows best whether Xiangyang is innocent or not.

Shouldn't it be the other way around?

This shameless bastard.
"Don't try to change the subject. I'm talking about you lying."

"If you don't sleep in the same bed, can it be called sleeping together?" Xiangyang refuted the pigtail that Liu Qianqian had grabbed with a teasing tone.

Did he lie?
No.

In the text messages and photos sent to Liu Xixi, he clearly only emphasized that he slept alone last night, and the photos were also photos of the bed.

Then it's not a lie.

So, he should be thankful that Laura's call interrupted his unnecessary actions before taking the bathroom photos.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be so firm in speaking.

"Humph, you know how to bully me."

Liu Qianqian pouted, too lazy to waste any extra emotions on this matter with Xiangyang.

Otherwise, it would be a bit unreasonable.

But she put the hat tightly on Xiangyang.

"We are husband and wife. You bully me and I bully you, and that's how we live a happy life." Xiangyang smiled.

How can this be called bullying?

"It's delicious, isn't it?"

Liu Qianqian rubbed her itchy canines, and when Xiangyang came back, she would make sure he could experience the meaning of the word "taste".

"Okay, okay, let's end this topic here. Look, I have so many little spies like you hiding around me, but I never shouted at them."

"What do you mean by little spy? Do you think you're in a spy movie?"

"Not yet a little spy?" Xiangyang counted on his fingers.

To be honest, except for this guy Little John, all the friends around him have betrayed him.

This is what happened.

It makes this guy seem extremely precious.

Liu Qianqian laughed out loud as she listened to Xiangyang's complaints. With sparkling eyes, she said proudly:
"That's because I'm charming and popular."

"Yes, that's right." Xiangyang didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit it.

"When you mention this, it reminds me that Stone is coming to China to promote Black Swan. Where do you think I should take her to play?"

"Of course it's the Great Wall. If you haven't been to the Great Wall, you are not a true man."

When Emma Stone was mentioned, Xiang Yang sighed helplessly.
I knew her earlier, and the result was better. There was no contact between them, and Liu Qianqian became best friends with her.

But having said that, it seems quite interesting.

The male lead of "Hacksaw Ridge" released in 2016 happens to be Emma Stone's boyfriend Andrew Garfield.

Now, this movie has been shot by China first.

I don’t know whether Hollywood will make this movie in the future.

As far as I can remember, the box office performance of this movie was quite good.

It seems that he also won an Oscar.

By the way, are there any other war movies with similar themes? There is a real case in China.
Xiangyang smacked his lips, having no idea what to think.

He said that what Little John reminded him of was useful, but limited.

"Then will you accompany me?" Liu Qianqian asked softly, interrupting Xiangyang's thoughts.

"As long as there is no problem with time, I will definitely go with you."

Xiangyang, who had made a mistake, said with a guarantee.

"Hehe~ That's pretty much it."

The satisfactory answer made Liu Qianqian smile sweetly from the bottom of her heart.

About half an hour later, Xiangyang's cell phone, who was chatting with Musk and others, suddenly rang twice.

Open it and take a look.

Xiang Yang swallowed.

Liu Qianqian: Come on~ let’s make a pinky promise to climb the Great Wall together, no regrets allowed (picture) Wow, after my wife has done her skin care, why does she look so attractive without makeup when she’s pinky-pinching her finger?
This picture must be saved immediately.
"Xiang, I heard from Axel that he plans to buy this golf club."

What kind of activity is more suitable for wealthy businessmen to get together? The first choice must be golf.

The Wirral Golf Course in Merseyside is their destination today.

The golf course is named after Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught, one of Queen Victoria's youngest sons.

Therefore, this club is also given the prefix "Royal".

Same as Real Madrid.

It's just that their respective fields are different.

The original site of this golf course originally belonged to the Hunter Club's horse farm.

"Really? That's indeed quite appropriate." Xiangyang had no interest in golf, but he praised Axel's spending spree.

The 18-hole golf course is quite expensive though.

But the club has been bought, and judging from the guests who attended the first game, there must be many wealthy businessmen coming to watch the game.

The return on this investment in social networking should not be low.

Besides, there is a stable here, and we can move the Hermès horse gear here.
"Xiang, Peter Thiel wants to find an opportunity to have a good talk with you." Musk, who was walking with Xiangyang, did not hide the fact that Axel was among the crowd.

"Oh? What's wrong?"

"It's about Uber. You know he's an investor, so he really wants to work with us to expand this business."

Musk explained: "David Sacks also wants to join. I looked at the valuation they gave and it's very good. If you are interested, I will arrange it later."

"That's it."

The smile that Xiang Yang had just revealed was slightly retracted.

Sure enough, the "Bei Gang" on Wall Street is not a vegetarian.

It turned out that they were there under the pretext of supporting him, but in fact they were there to do business.

"What's the valuation they gave? I remember that we had reached an agreement on this before. If we can solve the development funds ourselves, we are not in a hurry to raise funds."

From joining hands with Musk to acquire Uber to now.

In addition to the initial seed round investment, the two made a round of angel investment last month and have not taken any further action.

All in all, neither of them paid more than $100 million.

So, this valuation is very sensitive.

"Don't worry, we are all members of the Bei Gang, and we will not scheme against each other in terms of investment." Musk said with a smile:

"1500 million, they want to lead the A round. Of course, this number can be negotiated."

Based on this price tag, Uber's valuation is $7000 million.

This valuation is quite close to the price of Uber's original Series A financing, but there are also some differences.

At least in Xiangyang's opinion, Uber, which has entered the trucking field in advance, has already drawn the pie, so the price should still be negotiable.

"How many?!"

Little John, who was following behind the two of them, opened his mouth in surprise.

Musk almost died of laughter at his reaction.

This guy Little John, through his promotion, has become one of the famous figures in the "Bei Gang".

The reason, of course, is
"The valuation is about $7000 million. What do you think? If you had joined us at the beginning, even if you only invested $10, you would have at least doubled your investment now."
Xiang's Whatsapp has also seen a good increase in valuation. Seeing this increase, I feel that I got to know Xiang too late. Otherwise."

Little John didn't hear anything Musk said.

He felt like he had a hangover again, and his head was buzzing.

But his eyes were fixed on the back of JCE, who was walking in front with Axel and exchanging playing experience with Peter Thiel and others.

“Where are the business documents on Whatsapp stored?”

"My dad, he will beat me to death."

"But I've never seen so much money in my life."

"What are you thinking about? There's no way this money will go into my pocket." Seeing his pupils sometimes focused and sometimes diffused, Xiangyang quickly pulled his friend up.

It's only valued at $7000 million.

Don't embarrass yourself.
"Hmm?" Little John subconsciously winked at his friend.

1500 million US dollars was deposited into the company's account.

Moreover, the stocks of Xiangyang, Musk, and everyone else responsible for Uber's operations will be diluted.

Of course, on paper, Xiangyang made a fortune on this investment.

only.
"Xiang, I don't know why, but when I see you, I suddenly feel very relieved." With a smile on his lips, little John suddenly felt that money was not important at all.

My friend is capable of making money.

But he has no ability to manage money~
All of a sudden, he felt much happier both physically and mentally. "I advise you to sell it as soon as possible. Maybe Liu will give you a bonus."

“Sell?” Xiangyang was stunned. Selling Uber now, is that crazy?

No, this guy is not drunk yet, right?
On the other side, the hotel where the crew of "Time Traveler" stayed.

The interview team of "China Film Report" felt that they had made a fortune this time.

Especially, those who are responsible for leading the team.

"Have you found out the news?"

"Well, it is said that President Han came here specifically for Director Zhang's upcoming new movie. It is said that Liu Qianqian was also called in for discussion, and it seems that there is a role for her."

During the few days I spent with the crew of "Time Travelers", I also found that all the people in director Zhang Mouzi's team were seniors.

The Sixth Princess' reporter still has some ways to find out some information.

In fact, as the producer of "Time Traveler", it is not surprising that Han Sanping came suddenly.

But the key point is that he was in a hurry when he came today.

The crew was also making a lot of noise.

It seemed like Director Zhang Mouzi had arranged the reception early on, which would have aroused suspicion among the sharp-eyed reporters.

"Boss Han is such a jerk. He didn't come earlier or later, but only came after we had finished broadcasting Liu Qianqian's interview."

A reporter in charge of editing complained mercilessly.

New movies, new projects, and Liu Xixi.

If these can be broadcast together, how many hot spots will come out?
It's better now.

I get it. I can’t do another interview.

The key is whether other people are willing to disclose some information to the outside world, which is beyond the control of reporters like us.

"How about we ask Mr. Han tomorrow?"

"Well, I think it's feasible."

"It has to be said that Liu Qianqian is really lucky. It seems that she will have no shortage of roles to play after returning to China to develop her career."

"She's not just worried about movies. Maybe you don't know that she also invested in Lost in Thailand, which was invested by Enlight Pictures. It's said that she also recommended Liu Yan to join the crew."

"real or fake?!"

"Why would I lie to you? A friend of mine from Enlight Pictures told me this. According to reliable sources, the money she contributed alone was no less than that of Enlight Pictures."

They were originally planning to use Han Sanping, who was very concerned about his reputation, as a breakthrough point, but a word came in and the reporters from the Sixth Princess started gossiping.

It doesn’t matter if we don’t talk.

After chatting for a while, I found out that Liu Qianqian was involved in so many projects in just a few months.

I thought that the project "Time Traveler" was a heavyweight one, but in the end I found that the new movie they were exploring and the new project announced by Huaying ("My Altay") were all big projects.

"Strange, now that you mention it."

The reporter in charge of editing recalled what Liu Qianqian said during the interview and combined it with everyone's current analysis.

She had a strange feeling.

"What's wrong? Tell me." another reporter urged.

"Nothing, maybe I just listened to it repeatedly while editing the film," the reporter in charge of editing muttered, "It feels like she's going to transform."

"Transformation?! You mean"

In an instant, the people crowded together in the room looked at each other.

It seems true.

Since "Legally a Copy" which helped Juliette Binoche win three European awards at Cannes, Liu Xixi has participated in all the projects.

In addition to the guest appearance in "Black Swan" which he accepted early on.

For the others that were released, besides her name being listed as an actor, their names also appeared as producers.

He also wrote the script himself.

"Oh no! How come I overlooked this point when I was interviewing!" The reporter who realized the problem was full of regret.

How could I have overlooked this when I was preparing for the event?
"Let's stop guessing here. Whether it is or not, we can ask Mr. Han tomorrow and get the answer."

A reporter said with a smile.

Of course, I won’t ask directly. I just need to ask whether Liu Xixi has participated in the investment of the new movie, and then I’ll have the result.

But it must be said that Liu Qianqian started her transformation so early.

The reporter who said this also felt strange.

How old is she?
Well, it seems not small anymore.

Among actresses of her age, there is no mother of two children.

If she really transforms, it is possible.

Even giving birth to a child is not taken lightly, and what she says shows that following your heart is the most important thing.

There is still a chance of making such a decision.

It's a pity for her fans.
I won't even be able to see her anymore.

Pitiful.

The next day, when Han Sanping was interviewed by the Sixth Princess, he was in a very good mood and smiled.

As long as it was about the issues surrounding the production team of "Time Traveler", he would say whatever he wanted to say without hiding anything.

But the reporters of the Sixth Princess are tired of hearing these words.

In two days, they interviewed everyone in the crew who could.

"Boss Han, I heard that you came here specifically for Director Zhang's new film?"

"New film? Who said that?" Han Sanping didn't want to elaborate, but thinking that there was nothing to hide, he admitted it openly:
"You guys have really sharp ears. This trip is indeed to finalize some details about the new movie. The main thing is Director Zhang's schedule."

The reporter took advantage of the situation and asked, "Mr. Han, what kind of second collaboration will Liu Qianqian have with Director Zhang?"

"It hasn't been finalized yet. As the leading actress and producer of our Huaying movie, she is still very serious about the filming of the movie. How could she be distracted by a new movie that is still in the discussion stage?"

"Mr. Han, according to our understanding, Liu Qianqian is not only the producer of "Time Traveler", but also the producer of "My Altay" and "Lost in Thailand". So will she also be present in the preparation process of this new movie?"

"Haha, don't say I didn't notice it. Don't make blind guesses."

Well, Han Sanping said that everyone should not make blind guesses.

But he didn't say it, so don't imagine it.

Anyway, when this interview was presented to the audience in the form of a video, this last sentence was very intriguing.

Before one movie was finished, the second one was released.

This was originally a happy thing for Liu Xixi's fans.

But the content of this interview, coupled with the eye-catching title.

The fans were suddenly embarrassed.

"Liu Qianqian is going to transform?"

"From now on, the celestial being has become a memory."

"The most beautiful Wang Yuyan returns to her family."

"Watch and cherish"

"."

Topics like these quickly spread across the Internet.

Not to mention, even before the person involved responded, the vast majority of netizens chose to believe it.

Why are they so sure of this?
Then don’t you take a look at who Liu Xixi’s husband is?

As expected, Xiangyang's social media account was attacked.
