The love apartment begins with entering the police station

Chapter 536: System's Pretense

Seeing this, Director Yi quickly said, "How about I drink with you?"

He was about to pour wine for Xiang Yu, but Xiang Yu still covered the glass: "I really don't know how to drink. Sorry, Director Yi."

Director Guo stepped forward and said, "Hey, you don't want to give me face, do you? Come on, come on, let's have a drink!"

But Xiang Yu smiled, shook his head and chuckled, "Then don't give me face!"

After these words were spoken, unlike before, the expressions of the other people at the table changed. You know, Director Guo is also a famous director of the new generation in terms of status. His family has a background in TV stations. This time, he asked Teacher Zeng to make connections, which was also for Director Guo's sake.

Director Guo personally toasted, but he didn't expect Xiang Yu to be so disrespectful. To be honest, it was a bit beyond everyone's expectations.

After the atmosphere became cold, Xiang Yu only ate and didn't drink.

How could it be okay for someone who is not even a relative to me to suddenly come over and ask me out for dinner?

Among flower growers, no one visits someone without a request, and when one is polite to someone, he or she must want something in return.

Although Xiang Yu is somewhat famous in the circle, he has always been very low-key. How could those reporters at the door recognize a novelist at once?
It was nothing more than someone's deliberate arrangement, and Xiang Yu himself felt a little unhappy.

Since the beginning of the meal, the topic of several people has been leading to "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" intentionally or unintentionally. In addition, at the beginning, they said that they would also be shooting a movie recently. With these connections, the answer is obvious.

Seeing that they were in a deadlock, Director Guo had no choice but to take the initiative and say, "Brother Xiang, to be honest, I have always liked your Tomb Robbers' Chronicles. The crew is already being formed. I wonder if you are interested in investing in it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone at the table turned their eyes to Xiang Yu.

In response, Xiang Yu drank his water slowly. He would not refuse any money-making project, but these people did not look like they were on the right path.

Xiang Yu said calmly: "Have you got the copyright? If the idea is good, I don't mind playing with it. Whether I make money or lose money, I don't care."

Xiang Yu's tone was very relaxed, without any unpleasant emotions, and he was even a little curious, which made Director Guo and others feel relieved.

They thought Xiang Yu would refuse directly.

Seeing this, Director Guo slapped his forehead and said, "Look at my brain. Don't worry about the copyright. I still have some connections."

Speaking of this, Director Guo was quite pleased with himself.

Xiang Yu was stunned for a moment. This was quite unexpected. The copyright of Grave Robbers' Chronicles had been sold a long time ago. You know, once the copyright of a novel is sold, the author only has the right to be named. Director Guo is quite capable to be able to get the copyright.

While Xiang Yu was still surprised, Director Guo said, "Brother, the film market is hot right now, and The Lost Tomb is a big IP, and our investment this time will not be small. I made a preliminary estimate, and the total investment is at least over 3 million yuan, which can be called a big production.

With investment from a gold medal investor like you, and since you are the original author, you will definitely attract a large number of fans.

We are also striving for excellence in casting, and will invite some well-known actors to support the box office. Don't worry, we will definitely not ruin your reputation as a gold medal investor this time."

In response, Xiang Yu asked, "So which actors does Director Guo plan to cast?"

"We invited the most popular star to play the male lead. He is very popular now."

Director Guo became more and more excited as he spoke, and Xiang Yu frowned repeatedly. A movie like "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" cannot be supported by traffic stars. Without some acting skills, how can this movie be good?

With three hundred million, are you going to hire all the top stars?

Before Director Guo finished speaking, Xiang Yu asked, "Director Guo, are you serious about being an actor?"

Hearing this, Director Guo was stunned, and couldn't help but say in surprise: "Brother, do you think we can't use traffic stars? But we do need traffic stars to boost the box office. Besides, we make movies to make money, so it's okay to use traffic artists, right?"

In response, Xiang Yu waved his hands repeatedly: "Director Guo, you misunderstood, I have no prejudice against traffic stars, young and handsome men and the like, I just want to ask, how much are you going to pay them?
Since you want me to invest, I would like to ask how much of this investment can be used for the film?"

This one sentence directly hit Director Guo's lungs.

Yes, how much are you going to pay these actors? Some popular stars, young and handsome guys, may not have acting skills, but their pay is tens of millions.

In Xiang Yu's opinion, you can't put the cart before the horse when making a movie, and you even say that this is to boost the box office. Isn't that funny?
"The salary hasn't been decided yet. Besides, brother, let's be frank. Isn't it enough to just make money? Why bother with those things? Don't you think so?"

It is obvious that Director Guo has not given up and wants to persuade. Although the film market is hot now and he is not short of investment, he still wants to get Xiang Yu's investment.

First, he knew that Xiang Yu was capable of providing a huge amount of money.

Secondly, the movies invested by Xiang Yu are all big sellers, and he is also the original author, which is a good publicity point with many benefits.

Xiang Yu nodded and said, "That's true. Although I don't care whether I make money or not, I don't want to lose money either.

But according to what you told me, I still won't get involved. Of course, I still hope Director Guo can make a good work, after all, I am the original author. But I don't want to see any news about my cooperation with you appear in magazines. I can understand those reporters you arranged, but I like to keep a low profile. "

Xiang Yu's tone was very serious. He did not give Director Guo a chance to persuade him again and directly made the final statement on the matter.

The straightforward refusal left the others stunned for a long while before they finally smiled awkwardly.

"It's my duty. It's a pity that I can't cooperate with my brother this time. It's okay. Since my brother doesn't think highly of me, then forget it."

"Of course, I also welcome Director Teng to take care of my business!"

Xiang Yu nodded and smiled. At this time, Xiang Yu spoke very politely.

Teacher Zeng on the side was a little embarrassed, but he was relieved when he saw Xiang Yu's polite attitude in the end. After all, it was a way for him to save face.

"Come on, come on, drink, drink. I'm the host today, eat and drink well!" Teacher Zeng stood up and poured wine for several people.

Soon the atmosphere in the private room returned to normal, but that slight awkwardness still existed.

After half an hour, the event naturally ended in a bad mood. This time there was not a single reporter at the door.

"Xiang Yu, I'm really sorry this time."

On the way back, Teacher Zeng's face looked somewhat embarrassed.

Xiang Yu waved his hand and said indifferently: "It's okay. Since they want to find me, even if you don't agree to them, they will find other ways."

Teacher Zeng nodded, and Xiang Yu suddenly laughed and said, "But I'm looking forward to them making a bad movie."

"why?"

Teacher Zeng was a little confused.

Xiang Yu smiled and said, "Then I can find a way to get the copyright back."

At this point, Xiang Yu reminded: "I'm not giving this Director Guo face this time, Mr. Zeng, you have to be careful that he might trip you up."

Teacher Zeng shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and said, "I'm upright, he can't send me to the desert to eat sand."

"It's not a big deal. If he dares to cause trouble for you, tell me, judging from the way this guy looks, he must have done something bad."

Xiang Yu didn't take it to heart.
-
A few days later, in the bar downstairs of the love apartment.

Teacher Zeng walked towards the bar door with a book in his hand, looking angry.

"It really pissed me off!"

Teacher Zeng said this angrily, slammed the book in his hand on the coffee table, and then sat down next to Yifei angrily.

Yifei quickly asked, "What's wrong? Why are you so angry?"

Teacher Zeng picked up the drink on the coffee table and squeezed it twice without thinking.

"It's Lisa again. Didn't you and Director Guo break up at the last dinner? I didn't expect that Director Guo would actually go on my show to promote the new movie "Grave Robbers' Chronicles." Teacher Zeng said unhappily.

Yifei was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "It doesn't sound like a big deal. You are the host of the show, can they really trip you up?"

"That's not the case, but Lisa Rong asked me to praise Director Guo."

Teacher Zeng was holding up a copy of Grave Robbers' Chronicles with a very aggrieved expression on his face.

Seeing Teacher Zeng's pitiful appearance, Yifei patted Teacher Zeng on the shoulder and comforted him, "Okay, don't be sad, it's no big deal."

Xiang Yu was just about to ask Teacher Zeng if he wanted to think of a way to make Director Guo have a small accident, such as falling down while walking and knocking out his two front teeth, so that he could not go on the show.

At this moment [in high-dimensional space. 】

"Director, everyone wants to watch the Love Apartment movie recently, we should pay attention to the audience's wishes."

The screenwriter shouted to the director while holding his script.

"But this will consume a lot of energy in the system. Can we make back the money?"

Seeing that the director was a little hesitant, the screenwriter immediately made a promise: "Director, don't worry, I guarantee that we will make a lot of money from this Love Apartment movie."
-
"Ding! The system releases a mandatory copy, Tomb Raider World!"

"what?"

The system that had been idle for too long suddenly came back to life, and Xiang Yu was a little uncomfortable with it. Since the last system update, he used the dungeon challenge card, but didn't get any rewards. So Xiang Yu simply used the system as a mall and storage space.

Xiang Yu was silent for a while, and then he realized that no system was reliable. Sure enough, nothing that entered other people's minds was good.

"If we somehow enter the world of Grave Robbers' Chronicles, will the people here think we are missing?"

"Ding! Please rest assured, host. The speed of time in the two worlds is different."

"Damn it, system, you really are smart. Give me the reward from the last dungeon challenge first."

"Ding! The system has issued the reward."

Xiang Yu was speechless and asked, "What rewards did you give out?"

"Ding! The system has upgraded your protagonist halo."

"I refuse to participate in this instance."

Xiang Yu had no intention of going to the world of Grave Robbers' Chronicles to play. That crappy movie seemed unsafe no matter how he watched it.

"Ding! This mission is a mandatory one and cannot be refused."

Xiang Yu was speechless. Why don’t you just send me directly to the Tomb Robbers’ Chronicles?
