Chapter 870: My Wife is Being Noticed
In the evening, Lao Zhao came back.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw my wife smoking a cigarette in the yard.

"Put out the cigarette! Don't you know your granddaughter doesn't like the smell?" Old Zhao said with a frown.

She has been smelling this smell of cigarettes for most of her life and she still hasn't gotten used to it.

What would happen if Mu Xin and Zhi Yin smelled it?
"Don't I know that our precious granddaughter doesn't like the smell?" Lao Xiang said, taking another sip.

"I know you're still smoking, so I'll put it out right away." After rolling her eyes at her husband and leaning her bicycle against the wall, Old Zhao prepared to hurry and see her two precious granddaughters.

As for why Liu Qianqian and Xiangyang were not at home.

Excuse me.

Old Zhao said that both children have their own hard work. He heard his daughter-in-law chatting yesterday and said that she now has a work being shown in theaters, a movie being prepared for promotion, and is also about to join a Hollywood crew.

In case, I suddenly received a call today and I was busy out, it would be understandable.

As for her son.

He has never been idle since he was a child.

"Where are you going?" Seeing her in a hurry to go to the north room, Lao Xiang asked.

"Where are you going? First, I'm going to see my two granddaughters, and then I'm going to cook. Didn't you hear Xixi say yesterday that she's become a little thinner from eating too much vegetables these days? I'll stew some meat for her to replenish her body."

As he was speaking, Old Zhao had already arrived at the door of the north room.

As soon as I pushed the door open, my two granddaughters were gone, and the small clothes I had sewed for the two children were also gone.

Suddenly, she felt empty inside, and her face darkened.

Old Zhao took a deep breath, turned around and left the north room. Seeing Old Xiang still smoking, she said unhappily, "You stinky son, you really just let it go."

"Oh." Old Xiang sighed and looked like a grandma.

"Don't ask him to come back next time. I get annoyed when I see him." Old Zhao walked towards the kitchen with a hint of unwillingness in his warning.

Before she came back, she asked a nurse to ask her daughter-in-law about the more outstanding plots in those TV series, so that she wouldn't have to just praise her acting like she did yesterday.

You have to ask this.

In case the truth comes out, my daughter-in-law will know that I am trying to trick her into being happy.

That.
It’s not that she doesn’t like watching it, she just can’t bear to watch it.

After all, this pretty girl is from my family.

"I, an old man, can't persuade your promising son." The old man with stubble grinned, threw the cigarette butt under his feet and stomped on it hard.

Fighting with a cigarette butt is not just about venting anger.

If my wife knew, he ran away because I said I would deal with the bad boy when I came back in the evening.

Maybe Old Zhao will give him a good scolding.

Therefore, what we need to do now is to shift the blame onto our bad son as much as possible to protect ourselves.

"Just treat him as spilled water. Occasionally, you can come back with Xixi and your two precious granddaughters to visit. Just be content."

Hearing his tone was somewhat weird, Lao Zhao snorted and walked into the kitchen. The sound of the door slamming open indicated that she also felt that what Lao Xiang said was right.

Picking up the crushed cigarette butts and throwing them into the trash can in the yard, Lao Xiang pushed the door open and came to his wife, "Come, I'll help you."

"No, just wait and eat." Old Zhao, who was in a bad mood, said in a more serious tone, "It's just a bowl of noodles, there's no need for you to make trouble."

".Isn't it stew?"

"You have high blood pressure and high blood lipids, why do you keep eating meat?"

"."

"Mom~ I'm back~ Look what Zhao Xin and I brought you~"

"Oh, Xixi, you're back just in time. Mom was just about to stew meat for you." Before Liu Xixi and Zhao Xin walked into the yard, Old Zhao had already walked out of the kitchen with a smile on his face.

"Mom~Xiangyang won't be back for dinner today."

"Don't worry about him. He is so promising that he won't starve to death." Old Zhao gets angry when Xiangyang is mentioned.

How dare you run away with your granddaughter?
"Come, Yangyang, eat more." In the villa on the other side, the scene was completely different.

Xiangyang stayed there with his two granddaughters for just one day and then came back. He kept saying that it was because he liked the food he cooked. Liu Xiaoli was happy to hear that.

"Mom, to be honest, the reason why Xixi and I have such a good relationship is all thanks to your cooking skills." Xiangyang smiled and flattered his mother-in-law.

"Bullshit."

Liu Xiaoli denied it verbally, but her actions were real.

He put another piece of meat into Xiangyang's bowl.

"Mom, you don't know me yet." Xiang Yang stuffed the meat into his mouth without saying anything, and said hesitantly: "I have only one good point, I never lie."

"Your mother cooks, and Xixi loves it."

"So, it's natural that I like the food you cook. Unlike some people who don't appreciate what they have." The person Xiangyang was referring to was naturally Liu Qianqian.

She stayed with him for a short time before going out with Zhao Xin.

What's the matter?

Didn’t I just use this trick yesterday?

Parrot imitating.

"Let's eat first and not talk about her." Although Xiangyang was talking about her daughter, Liu Xiaoli smiled even more happily.

After she finished talking to her son-in-law, she looked at Bi Shafer and said, "Shafer, you should eat more too. You should pay more attention to rest after being busy with Xiangyang all day."

"Yeah." Bi Shafer nodded slightly.

I originally planned to go back to the hotel for dinner, but Liu Xiaoli asked me to stay.

To be honest, she had a bit of pain eating this meal.

It’s not that the dishes Liu Xiaoli prepared specially for her were not to her taste, but that she knew Xiangyang’s habits too well.

After dinner, I might have to work overtime again.
"Yangyang, I just heard you say on the phone that President Ding is coming to Beijing?"

"Yes, that's right. It's about the advertisement." Xiang Yang nodded and said with a smile, "I was just about to tell you about this. The advertisement is about to be finalized, and everyone is very satisfied. It's a good opportunity for us to have a meal together to thank the producer."

"Then you want to go too?" Liu Xiaoli was a little concerned about this matter.

My son-in-law's schedule was already tight and packed.

If the family portrait is delayed due to work again, I don’t know when the next one will be.

"Yes, but it will only take half a day." Xiang Yang answered without any helplessness in his tone. "FILA's advertising expenses in China are not small, so we still need to meet with several parties."

"Then you can take Sissi with you when the time comes, so she won't think you have nothing to do."

"Mom, just let her have a good rest at home." Xiangyang almost laughed out loud.

If we take Liu Xixi with us, then when she meets the representative of DMG, that is, Mr. Xiao, won’t she think too much?

To be honest, this company has really good connections.

Not only did he contact Little John and ask him to say a few good words for him, but he also made a special call to Prokhorov, who was going to give him a mansion in Beijing.

It seems that they put a lot of effort into FILA's advertising.

But Xiang Yang didn't find it strange that the American CEO of DMG was able to invite Prokhorov.

This company is responsible for NBA advertising operations in Greater China. It is not unusual for them to have contact with each other.

What was really abnormal was that Oaktree Capital, which had previously had some interactions with HYS due to the acquisition of Liverpool, actually called to inquire and confirm whether HYS had reached a certain degree of cooperation agreement with DMG.

This made Xiangyang laugh and cry.

No wonder Liu Xixi recommended Yang Baobei with just one sentence.

It turns out that Oaktree Capital is the venture capital of this company.

"That's how business is. You'll meet people you know everywhere you go." Liu Xiaoli couldn't help laughing when she heard Xiangyang's complaints.

"I thought they were just in the same boat with Han Sanping." Xiangyang shrugged.

"Why? President Han also called?" Liu Xiaoli was a little puzzled. Why was there something about China Film Corporation involved?

"No, no, I just asked around." Seeing that he almost revealed the reason why Liu Qianqian called someone, Xiangyang quickly shook his head.

"Yangyang, I heard that DMG is currently suing VisionChina."

"Yeah, I know." Xiang Yang subconsciously glanced at Bi Shaffer. The information she gave him today contained relevant information.

DMG Media's most important resource in China is the exclusive advertising operating rights for 7 subway lines in seven cities across the country.

As many as 35000 screens are involved.

The two companies went to court only one year after the acquisition.

The matter is simple. After acquiring DMG, VisionChina felt that it had overpaid and that the premium was too high. The acquisition, which could have been completed with $9000 million, ended up costing an extra $7000 million.

As for the outcome of this lawsuit
Even if he didn't know, Xiangyang could guess roughly.

It will definitely be a matter of dragging it out, and finally reaching a settlement after a few years.

"Don't worry, Mom. This won't affect us." Seeing a little worry in his mother-in-law's eyes, Xiangyang assured her.

HYS will not be involved in this lawsuit.

If a cooperation is reached with DMG, it would actually be giving money to VisionChina in disguised form.

As for what kind of cooperation will be achieved.

Xiang Yang said, what kind of iron triangle could have such a big face?
The reason why Oaktree Capital agreed to FILA handing over part of its advertising business to this advertising company was all because of Oaktree Capital's face.

Xiangyang was talking about DMG, and Han Sanping was also talking about it.

Xiao Wuge, who is in the same boat with him, is not an ordinary businessman. Not only does he have a background, he is also familiar with many people in the domestic entertainment industry.

I even had a try at "The Founding of a Republic".

"Don't worry, Mr. Xiang is very easy to talk to. Since he agreed to meet you, he won't care about your lawsuit."

Patting Xiao Wuge on the shoulder, Han Sanping smiled.

"Alas, I have only heard of him but never seen him." Xiao Wuge said with a wry smile.

"By the way, how is your lawsuit going?" Han Sanping said this with a bit of emotion.

"Not bad." Xiao Wuge shook his head.

Before coming, he communicated with his partners and learned that all matters in New York had been completely entrusted to Oaktree Capital.

But having things get to this point, it will definitely have an impact on DMG's reputation.

Especially at this stage of the company's transformation.

"You, don't put all your mind on this. The Beijing Film Festival is also your top priority. Try to make a comeback and show it to CTS."

Since they had had a good collaboration at the premiere of "Founding of a Republic", Han Sanping naturally helped DMG to get it.

Relying on DMG's own strength, they actually won the project.

"Don't worry, Mr. Han. Our company attaches great importance to the Beijing Film Festival." Xiao Wuge agreed readily.

But compared to the Beijing Film Festival, meeting Xiangyang is the most important thing.

Think about it from another perspective: no matter how successful a film festival is, the commercial income it brings needs to be digested slowly.

But it’s different when I meet Xiangyang.

The speed of monetization is fast.

Today, DMG is involved in a lawsuit and is suspected of falsifying financial statements, so the funds in New York will most likely be subject to strict supervision.

Indirectly, this also increases the value of FILA's advertising business to DMG.

"I can't give you any advice on this matter, you are the experts." Han Sanping, who was looking forward to the first Beijing Film Festival, said with a smile.

It's better to do a job well than to do it mediocrely.

"Mr. Han, there is something I want to report to you." Seeing the smile on his face, Xiao Wuge took the opportunity to tell him the purpose of his visit today.

"If you have something to say, just tell me. Don't use the word 'report'." Han Sanping was very excited.

"Well, Mr. Xiang's girlfriend called me yesterday and recommended her friend to audition for our movie."

As he spoke, Xiao Wuge gave a brief account of what happened on the phone yesterday.

As for whether there is anything you added yourself.

I'm sorry to say that Han Sanping would not confront Liu Qianqian about such a trivial matter as the heroine of a small commercial movie.

just
Han Sanping couldn't help but frown when he heard Xiao Wuge's convincing words in front of him.

Liu Qianqian, why are you so concerned about this matter?
You know, for such an important project as "My Altay", she found a suitable excuse to protect herself.

There's no need to worry so much about someone else's girlfriend.

Unless you say.
"Mrs. Xiang is still very sentimental. When she fell into the water during the filming of The Return of the Condor Heroes, it was Huang Xiaoming who lent a hand."

After thinking about it, Han Sanping felt that this might be the reason.

"But." But the tone changed, and he said with a slight reminder: "Don't set your mind on her."

"Haha, Mr. Han, I would never have such an idea." Xiao Wuge was stunned for a moment and quickly waved his hands.

But how can you take such words seriously?

The entertainment industry is a circle.

Just like the fashion and financial circles.

After a while, when the relationship becomes familiar, it is natural that there will be common interests and intersections.

He really didn't believe that when DMG took over FILA's business and later offered some benefits, the other party would be able to refuse.

It's just a matter of spending a little more money.

Coincidentally, with "Twilight", "The Secret Code", "The Spy" and "Resident Evil", the company has accumulated sufficient experience and connections in operating Hollywood film projects.

I am now also looking for other projects to further expand my resources in Hollywood.

At that time, we can not only get on the line of Hermès Film Investment Company, but also take advantage of their rapid development to accumulate the goodwill of DMG Entertainment. Why not do it?

Hiding his inner thoughts, Xiao Wuge lowered his posture and said, "Mr. Han, how do you think we can arrange this matter for Yang Baobei?"

"Arrange?" Han Sanping looked at him in surprise.

Do I need to say this?

Liu Xixi even called you personally to ask for a role. Isn’t that enough to make you proud?
I asked her to come and make a guest appearance, and I had to be polite to her.
