Huayu: Female celebrities are looking for treasures in me

"You just agreed?"

A look of surprise flashed in Liu Shishi's eyes.

This is a movie that grossed over 800 million at the box office.

Currently, the highest-grossing domestic film is "If You Are the One," with a box office record of 3.4 million yuan.

Because of this film, Feng Xiaogang is known as the most successful commercial film director in mainland China.

This is why Zhang Li, the screenwriter of "If You Are the One," was highly regarded by Li Bingbing and others even before she became famous.

That's why Huayi Brothers made so many compromises when Zhang Li presented the script for "If You Are the One 2".

Throughout history, the Chinese people's pursuit of being "number one" has been ingrained in their very being.

Regarding Zhang Li's claim that "Mysterious Island" could reach 300 million, Liu Shishi thinks it's possible.

But to say that "Love is Not Blind" could reach 500 million is just bragging.

But he deliberately used this as an excuse to ask for a movie that grossed 800 million.

This is more than double the current highest-grossing Chinese-language film.

I thought Zhang Li would try to negotiate or say something ingratiating, but I didn't expect that.
Not only did he readily agree, but he also offered to keep doing it even if he didn't do much.

“I have confidence in myself.” Zhang Li put his arm around Liu Shishi and said seriously, “When I presented the scripts for ‘CJ7’ and ‘If You Are the One,’ I was confident that they would gross 200 million and 300 million respectively, and we did.”

"The movie 'The Message' could have gone for no more than 200 million; it's only with me that it has a greater chance of success."

"I have the same confidence in other films."

"It's only 8 million, I promise you."

Liu Shishi: “.”

You could say he has an inexplicable confidence, since he's never lost.

While his arguments are well-founded, rationally speaking, it seems impossible.

"It depends on how you behave, honey~"

No matter what, she definitely won't lose out.

Pleasant times always fly by.

Before you knew it, it was evening.

Zhang Li arrived at a studio and met up with Jing Tian and Liu Yifei.

"Ah Li, thank you so much~" Jing Tian handed Zhang Li a bank card.

"What is this?" Zhang Li didn't take it, raising his thick eyebrows slightly.

Liu Yifei also cast a curious glance at her.

"It's just a small red envelope." Jing Tian smiled and said, "Thanks to you, the box office performance of 'The Message' is so good. Starlight Entertainment can earn at least ten million more. Of course, I have to thank you."

Huayi Brothers and Starlight Entertainment jointly conducted an assessment, estimating that "The Message" would gross between 1.5 million and 2.5 million yuan. The final outcome will depend on market feedback, competition from other films released during the same period, marketing and promotion, and scheduling.

Now, thanks to the supporting character Zhang Li, the movie's box office has gotten off to a good start. With this positive cycle, earning at least 50 million more shouldn't be a problem, and maybe even 100 million more.

When it reaches the investors, it means an additional return of between 20 million and 40 million.

Based on Starlight Entertainment's investment in this film, they could receive an additional ten million.

When Zhang Li acted in this movie, she only received a few hundred thousand yuan in salary.

A discerning investor would naturally offer a red envelope (cash gift).

Of course, this kind of thing is usually done after the box office revenue is distributed, which is usually three to six months after the movie leaves theaters.

Seeing that Jing Tian was going to give Zhang Li money, she naturally wouldn't go through any complicated procedures; she was just happy to do so.

"Then I'll accept it."

"When I pay for the hard work and marketing expenses of the movie promotion."

Zhang Li reached out and took the bank card.

[You send funds to Zhang Li in a reasonable way (movie box office revenue sharing), and you will receive a Movie Investment Guide +1 (after use, you will know information about a movie with a return rate of three to five times, and how to obtain investment shares)]

"Is this okay?"

Jing Tian was both surprised and delighted.

This time, she was simply looking for an excuse to give Zhang Li some money.

After all, she didn't have much else, but she had a lot of spare cash that she couldn't spend, and Zhang Li did help her company make more money.

Unexpectedly, I received a reward for paying money, and it was even an investment guide.

"But it makes perfect sense," Jing Tian thought to herself.

In order to expose the dirty secrets of Wang Jianlin, the CEO of Huayi Brothers, she was given the opportunity to collect the biggest dirt on anyone in the past.

If money is being given to Zhang Li in the form of investment dividends, then it's perfectly normal for her to receive a movie investment guide that will allow her to make money.

Moreover, this guide is very comprehensive. It not only tells her which movies she can invest in and break even, but also how to make successful investments.

Film projects aren't something you can just invest in if you have money. For example, with "Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon," Huayi Brothers didn't have any other powerful companies besides China Film Group, including Andy Lau, who requested to play the male lead.

For example, it's highly unlikely that Zhang Li's film and television productions would be produced by Huayi Brothers.

The existence of circles such as the Hong Kong circle, the Beijing circle, and the Shanghai circle also represents a community of shared interests.

Honestly, this guide is definitely useful.

“I can bring Zhang Li along on this project.”

"If he makes money through the projects I lead, he will definitely give me a reward as well."

"Then I can invest indefinitely and succeed."

Jing Tian's thoughts immediately went far ahead.

This inspiration came from her research into scandals, and it can be used to create endless nested dolls.

With her and Zhang Li becoming incredibly popular, there have actually been quite a few people making underhanded moves to smear her.

She used a cheat code to find dirt on those people and then had someone release the information.

These people are too busy taking care of themselves to have time to criticize her and Zhang Li.

if not.

Both of them are already embroiled in scandals.

Just like Liu Yifei, who became famous for her role as Zhao Ling'er, she was also plagued by numerous scandals.

"What are you thinking about?" Zhang Li waved his hand in front of Jing Tian, ​​knowing the answer already. "Nothing, just thinking about how to cheer myself up for singing later."

"You two are much better than me."

Jing Tian blinked her beautiful eyes, but didn't tell the whole truth.

But there was a strange glint in her eyes as she looked at Zhang Li.

Recently, based on her observations, "farming rewards" is not unique to her.

Liu Yifei, Liu Shishi, and Tang Yan will definitely be included, and Yang Mi will most likely be included as well.

There's also Zhao Liying, someone who's always happy to promote Zhang Li's company.

It's not very clear whether it's Naza or Song Yi.

This discovery made her wonder if Zhang Li could also benefit from it.
Was it proactive or reactive?
Were they aware of it or unaware?

"Then you need to work harder." Zhang Li chuckled. "My accompaniment is fine, but the gap between you and Sister Yifei shouldn't be too obvious."

"Then teach me more." Jing Tian blinked her beautiful eyes: "I can pay you."

"Goodbye." Zhang Li shrugged. "I'm already stressed from teaching singing."

“Your singing skills are pretty good now. If anyone asks me to teach you in the future, I will definitely recommend you.”

"I'd rather spend that time writing more screenplays."

Jing Tian nodded slightly: "Indeed, you should spend your time writing scripts instead of wasting it teaching people to sing."

“Who says otherwise?” Zhang Li sighed. “I don’t know who started this trend of learning from me.”

"Slap!" Liu Yifei slapped Zhang Li's arm: "Do you have a problem with me?"

Zhang Li: “.”

Dare not dare.

The three chatted and laughed, and before they knew it, it was nine o'clock in the evening.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, which also coincides with the seven-day National Day holiday. Many people are staying at home.
Many people are watching the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala hosted by CCTV.

Why didn't you play on the computer today?

In an ordinary family, the elders sit at the coffee table, eating fruits and nuts, chatting and laughing while watching TV.

To their surprise, their daughter, who usually went out to play or went straight back to her room to play on the computer after dinner, appeared in the living room.

"I'm watching the show with my grandparents!"

The girl sat down next to her grandmother.

Grandpa and Grandma were very happy.

The elderly mother, who knew her daughter's character well, felt a wave of disdain.

But she couldn't figure out what the girl was thinking for a while.

Is it a scam to trick people into buying expensive things?

Just then, the sound of a piano began to play on the television.

The piano music was beautiful, with a wonderful rhythm and cadence, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

A beam of light fell on the stage, and a small stage slowly rose up, revealing Jing Tian's sweet face.

She wore a beige long dress, giving off a sense of peace and prosperity.

She picked up the microphone and began to sing.

Don't let go of what you can hold onto tightly.

If you can embrace someone, don't pull them away.

Time rushes by, washing away everything, leaving nothing behind.

The three simple yet ancient-sounding lyrics give one a feeling of having their soul cleansed.

Jing Tian's bright and elegant, sweet and charming face appeared on the camera.

Many people did not associate her with Chu Xiaoshan.

The latter represents youth, vitality, liveliness, and a bright, positive outlook.

Jing Tian herself possesses an air of nobility, radiant beauty, and graceful figure.
Forgive the twists and turns we've gone through.

[It turns out that everything that remained was real.]

Even if it feels like a dream, half-awake, laughing and crying, I'm still happy.

Three more lines of lyrics appeared.

But it wasn't Jing Tian singing; it was a new voice.

The camera pans, and everyone sees a swing descending from the sky.

Liu Yifei, wearing a white floor-length dress, sat on the swing.

Her dress was decorated with sequins, making her seem to be glowing.

Who made that?

After singing three lines of lyrics, Liu Yifei lowered her head.

Jing Tian also looked up.

Their eyes met.

Time is something that catches you off guard; sometimes it's sunny, sometimes it's windy, sometimes it's cloudy, and sometimes it's rainy.

We can't compete with the present, yet we yearn for the past.

[It stole my youthful looks, but it kept you.]

In that instant, the DNA of countless people pulsed.

Students and teachers from various art schools, as well as media workers: "."

This scene feels so familiar.

What TWINS, what BY
Are Liu Yifei and Jing Tian planning to debut as a duo?

Why not call them the Beijing Film Academy's Campus Belle Group?

Or are they Zhang Li's two personal beauties?

By the way, where is Zhang Li? (End of Chapter)
