The group was kicked out, and low presence means they are bad?

Chapter 315: Pulling Investment

Bai Xingjian, Feng Shiqi, Mei Jie, Yao Chenxi and Ye Suxin all enjoyed the meal when they first met.

They chatted about this and that at the table and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi were not as domineering as imagined.

His gentle and amiable demeanor made Yao Chenxi and Ye Suxin feel like close seniors.

After getting to know each other for a while, Ye Suxin was no longer as shy and socially anxious as before. Instead, she spoke actively and enthusiastically and soon became friends with everyone.

After a pleasant dinner, it was already around nine o'clock in the evening.

Walking out of the restaurant, Bai Xingjian felt a little troubled.

When Yao Chenxi and Ye Suxin came, they were brought here by the staff of Yehua Entertainment. They both carried large and small bags of luggage, and it was obvious that they would not return to Yehua Entertainment.

So where are they staying tonight?
Feng Shiqi obviously also considered this issue.

So on the way back to the studio, she asked the two girls:

"Do you have a place to stay tonight?"

Yao Chenxi and Ye Suxin shook their heads.

"How about we book a hotel for both of you tonight? Do you plan to stay together or separately?"

Bai Xingjian suddenly spoke at this time.

There is a fast hotel in the park where their studio is located.

As for Bai Xingjian's interruption, Feng Shiqi smiled in surprise and gave him the right to speak with confidence.

"I'm fine with it. What about you, Suxin?" Yao Chenxi looked at Ye Suxin.

"Then let's live together, so we can have company."

Ye Suxin asked tentatively: "Is it okay?"

"Of course." Yao Chenxi responded readily.

"Then let's book a double bed room for the two of you, Meijie?" Bai Xingjian decided.

"Ordering is in progress." Mei Jie said.

It was already past ten o'clock after we sent the two girls to the hotel.

Bai Xingjian drove the car, carrying Feng Shiqi and Mei Jie, to their new home in Beijing.

A large flat with three bedrooms and two living rooms.

Of course it’s rented.

Although the area is smaller than the large flat that Bai Xingjian bought in Linjiang, if you really compare them in detail, there is actually not much difference.

Therefore, when discussing where Yao Chenxi and Ye Suxin would stay at night, Feng Shiqi planned to bring these two girls home.

After all, there is room to live here if we squeeze in.

But before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Bai Xingjian.

The main reason was that he had already felt that Feng Shiqi had this tendency, but he didn't want to bring anyone to his home.

Especially these two new girls.

If this was caught by the paparazzi, it would be like yellow mud falling down the crotch, it would be shit at best.

At this moment, Feng Shiqi was still sitting happily in the passenger seat, but when Bai Xingjian said this, the smile on her face disappeared.

Feng Shiqi slapped his forehead in annoyance: "So there are so many twists and turns here? It seems that I didn't think it through."

She hadn't thought about this at all just now, but she subconsciously felt that it would be safer for the two little girls to live with them.

"As the saying goes, every failure makes you wiser. Although you didn't get hurt this time, Sister Qi must have learned from your failure."

Bai Xingjian said jokingly in the driving seat.

"It's the president." Feng Shiqi nodded obediently.

The black Audi S8 gradually drove into the night.

……

"Bai Xingjian is filming a movie. Is this news true or false?"

In an office of Qingmu Entertainment, Xu Chen was touching Zhao Jiao in his arms all over.

At this time, there was basically no other person disturbing Xu Chen, otherwise he wouldn't be so bold.

And even if someone disturbs me, I will knock on the door and get permission before entering the office.

So this is very safe.

Zhao Jiao's breathing was a little disordered, and it trembled from time to time. "It's true. The director they found is He Xiang from Yehua Entertainment. It seems to be a movie related to fraud."

"Fraud theme?"

Hearing this, Xu Chen couldn't help but laugh. "Are Bai Xingjian and He Xiang making fun of themselves by choosing this topic? Or do they want to take advantage of the popularity of their previous work "The Qin Dynasty"?"

"It's probably both." Zhao Jiao's face became more and more rosy.

Xu Chen took a deep breath and asked with a puzzled look in his eyes: "Do you think Bai Xingjian can really make a movie? Why does their story sound a bit weird to me?"

A singer suddenly switches to making movies?

Although this kind of thing has happened in the entertainment industry before, those people have been in the entertainment industry for several years and have accumulated a lot of connections before they can make movies, right?
How could a singer like Bai Xingjian suddenly change his career path when his career is at its peak?
The more Xu Chen thought about it, the more incredible, unbelievable, and mysterious he found this matter.

Zhao Jiao had the same idea as him. She blushed and shook her head, saying, "I also feel that Bai Xingjian can't possibly make a movie, and write the script himself? It's simply impossible, okay? It's good enough for a singer-songwriter to write something, but he's also thinking about writing a script?"

At this point, Zhao Jiao sighed and continued, "I think it's probably a marketing trick by Yehua Entertainment to build momentum for their next movie. After all, Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi are extremely popular right now. As long as you have some connection with them, you don't have to worry about traffic."

"In that case, let's do this"

Xu Chen whispered something into Zhao Jiao's ear.

Then, there was a crackling sound in the office.

As for the movie that Bai Xingjian and He Xiang are about to shoot, many people in the industry actually have similar ideas as Xu Chen and Zhao Jiao.

As a result, Bai Xingjian and He Xiang were rejected many times when they were trying to attract investment.

"Xingjian, I'm so sorry. If the movie I filmed last time, The Qin Dynasty, hadn't been such a flop, our situation wouldn't be so miserable."

Walking out of a cinema company building, He Xiang said with guilt.

Just like the previous company, this cinema chain called [Mai Piao Piao] directly rejected the investment in "All or Nothing". The other party's idea was actually very simple.

You, He Xiang, almost made them lose a lot of money in your last movie "The Great Qin Dynasty". Who will be fooled this time?

He Xiang, please let us go quickly!

Our family is not wealthy to begin with, and if we were to invest in you, we would definitely go bankrupt.

Although "bankruptcy" is an exaggeration, cinema chains, film and television production companies, financial institutions and Internet companies are all trying to avoid He Xiang now.

Especially since the script of this movie was written by a newcomer named Bai Xingjian.

When these two buffs are combined together, it is obvious that this is a losing project.

In this case, if you still invest in the movie "All or Nothing".
You really think they are being taken advantage of, you are stupid, right?

"It's okay. There will always be someone who knows what's good."

Bai Xingjian patted He Xiang on the shoulder and smiled helplessly.

Shouldn't He Xiang be the one to comfort him in this situation? Why is he the one to comfort He Xiang?
As for the reason why the two of them came to seek investment, it was not because the production funds for the movie "All or Nothing" were insufficient. After all, Yehua Entertainment had already invested 300 million yuan in Yecao Pictures.

If Bai Xingjian wanted to, he could have made "All or Nothing" on his own.

But he didn't want to do that, and he couldn't do that.

The biggest difference between movies and music is that you can’t rely on just one platform and don’t get exclusive production rights.

If this really happens, when the movie is released, people will be honest when they see the screening rate and screening time.

If the screening rate and duration are low, it means that no matter how well you make the movie, the audience will not be able to see anything.

So what does this do?

Working in isolation? Self-admiration?
Therefore, Bai Xingjian and He Xiang are now discussing cooperation with cinema chains and theater companies in order to increase the screening rate and duration of "All or Nothing".

However, judging from the current progress, the results of the talks are not ideal.

"In fact, it doesn't matter if these theater companies don't cooperate with us."

As if realizing something, He Xiang said, "They are just temporarily wary of us. After the release of "All or Nothing", if the market response is good, they will turn around and beg us.

And even if these theater chains and cinemas don’t want to cooperate with us now, I can still attract some investment by using my connections. After all, I have been in this circle for so long. Although my last movie failed, my network of connections is still there.”

Bai Xingjian smiled and nodded. He naturally believed what he said.

Although "The Great Qin Dynasty" will be a big success, it will not actually have any impact on He Xiang's closely connected network.

Who hasn’t had failures when making a movie these days?

We all came here together.

After expressing his feelings for a few words, He Xiang got into the car with Bai Xingjian again, and they started heading to their next destination.

This business is not as simple as just attracting investment. He Xiang took Bai Xingjian to visit various major companies, both to make new acquaintances and to pay homage to the leaders.

After all, although Bai Xingjian is now a household name, he is still a rookie among rookies in the film and television industry.

Under the leadership of He Xiang, there have been a lot more voices about Bai Xingjian in the film and television industry during this period.

In Beijing, a luxury nanny car was speeding along the ring road.

Sitting in the car was a beautiful woman with a somewhat exotic charm. She was the leading actress of "The Great Qin Dynasty", Yin Yunhan.

The assistant sitting next to her was browsing Weibo on her phone, and from time to time a complaint came out of her mouth.

"I'm really impressed by He Qinya. Is she addicted to wrestling? She actually did it again at the premiere of "Starlight Curtain Shadow"!
Yunhan, how can she be so shameless? "

Yin Yunhan smiled when she heard this, "Of course it's for popularity. Wasn't her biggest exposure to the public the trip she made last year?"

As He Yaqin's rival, Yin Yunhan naturally knows a lot about this woman.

The fact is just as Yin Yunhan said, He Yaqin, the actress from Guangying Media, really came into the public eye by wrestling.

If it weren't for the fall at the Beijing Film Festival a year ago, He Yaqin wouldn't know where she would be playing the role of little Karami now.

"Oh, I didn't expect that after such a long time, He Yaqin would do this again. I guess she will steal half of the popularity of the red carpet this time."

The assistant muttered indignantly, "I guess she just watched "The Qin Dynasty" so much that she couldn't sit still this time."

The box office of "The Great Qin Dynasty" is low, but one thing is for sure, there are a lot of criticisms about this movie on the Internet, so the popularity is naturally high.

Yin Yunhan's wave of black and red traffic from "The Great Qin Dynasty" also made her a lot of money.

"There's nothing we can do about it. If others are willing to endure this hardship, then this is what she deserves."

Although Yin Yunhan felt a little uncomfortable, after all, falling down on the red carpet was a despicable way to attract attention.

But He Yaqin is so embarrassed that she is willing to do it.

So what else is there to say?
"Oh, don't mention her, don't mention her, lest it ruin our good mood."

The assistant waved his hand and changed the subject with a smile.

After a while, she saw some Weibo posts about Bai Xingjian.

"Bai Xingjian was coldly received when filming a movie? Many celebrities refused to star in it?" the assistant read out in surprise.

The fact that Bai Xingjian was going to make a movie had already been made public, so Yin Yunhan was also quite aware of it.

She frowned slightly and said, "If I remember correctly, the movie that Bai Xingjian is going to shoot is directed by He Xiang, right? Doesn't Director He Xiang have much face now?"

Hearing this, the assistant smiled and said, "With The Qin Dynasty being such a flop, which company would dare to bring out popular artists for him to film? And if Bai Xingjian hadn't been there to support the public opinion last time, it would have been Yunhan and you who would have suffered."

"As for this time, it seems to be the script written by Bai Xingjian? If it fails this time, it's probably because of him supporting the public opinion, hahahaha."

As he was talking, the young assistant burst into laughter.

The main reason is that Bai Xingjian’s experience in "The Qin Dynasty" was both miserable and funny in their eyes.

Yin Yunhan couldn't help laughing, but she held back, patted the assistant on the shoulder, and said:
"Xiaoxia, please ask Director He for me. If they are short of someone to play the female lead, I can do it."

As soon as these words came out, the still smiling assistant, Bai Xiaoxia, was suddenly stunned, and her eyes immediately revealed an emotion of disbelief:
"Yunhan, are you serious? The movie made by Bai Xingjian and He Xiang is definitely a muddy water. Do you want to get involved in it?"

Yin Yunhan blinked her bright eyes and said, "When making movies, isn't it all about devoting oneself to art? Since He Yaqin likes to do shady things so much, I'll go and get involved in Bai Xingjian and He Xiang's mess! What if there's something unexpected?"

"What if? The probability of that happening is a little low!"

Bai Xiaoxia didn't know what Yin Yunhan was thinking, but since she had said that, she could only do as she was told.

However, when editing the message, she still complained: "They invited so many people but didn't invite us. Are they sure we won't act in their movie?"
