Support Chinese-language films, return ten times the losses

Chapter 90, "The Legend of Shushan," additional investment.

When Tang Jinshan returned the next day, he was met with judgment from two pairs of eyes.

He went to the wrap party for a movie last night and didn't come home all night.

It's obvious where they went!

That bastard really dares to do that!

"Mr. Tang, you had a good time at Gong Li's last night, didn't you?"

Zhang Min said jokingly.

They exposed him without any mercy.

"Don't talk nonsense and ruin someone's reputation."

Tang Jinshan put his arm around Zhang Min's waist.

To comfort her who couldn't sleep last night.

Zhang Min didn't expect him to come in like this, and immediately rolled her eyes.

However, she was not cowardly.

Gong Li looks like a wolf or tiger, and he still has some strength left!

He should be the one who's afraid now!

"Mr. Tang, you'd better put in a good effort, or we'll laugh at you."

Zhang Min was not afraid at all.

She's not someone to be trifled with, especially with Lizhi around too!

"Let's see who has the last laugh!"

Tang Jinshan took drugs on the spot.

After the punishment was over, he suddenly winked at Lizhi.

We must shut Zhang Min up today, lest she go around gossiping about Gong Li and ruin her reputation.

Before Li Zhi could understand what he meant, she saw Zhang Min suffering the same hardships as her.

She really suffered a great loss!

"Waaah————"

Zhang Min's expression had already changed several times.

How dare that bastard! Especially since Lizhi is still here!

Seeing that Lizhi was trying to run away, Tang Jinshan caught her and brought her back.

Zhang Min was stunned once again.

However, since Lizhi had suffered a great loss just like herself, her level of acceptance suddenly increased.

As it turned out, Tang Jinshan emerged as the ultimate victor.

Anyone who provokes him will pay the price.

My time in Guangzhou became even more wonderful and unforgettable.

However, all of this is just a mirage.

He didn't have enough funds in place, and the villa complex in Lizhi wasn't finished yet.

Anything else said is superfluous.

Tang Jinshan handed over all the real estate matters to Li Zhi and returned to Hong Kong.

There is something that requires his involvement.

He gave Tsui Hark ten million, and the "Legend of Shushan" project is progressing rapidly.

While making preliminary preparations, we also began to look for actors.

In this regard, Xu Laoguai was quite sensible and naturally let Tang Jinshan make the decision.

"Mr. Tang, I'm thinking of filming this movie on location in mainland China, and we also need to enhance the special effects. A budget of 4000 million isn't enough!"

At the dinner table, even Xu Ke, who was usually very thick-skinned, felt a little embarrassed.

"Then tell me, how much do you want?"

The additional investment was exactly what Tang Jinshan had anticipated.

4000 million for a piece of trash like The Legend of Shushan!

"It might cost 6000 million or 7000 million."

Xu Ke was very embarrassed.

Such an exaggerated number is unlikely to be agreed upon by any business owner.

In fact, he felt that the money was not enough.

According to his budget, it would cost at least 90 million to 100 million!

They only offered a discount for fear of scaring Tang Jinshan away.

He played a trick, and once filming officially started, Tang Jinshan wouldn't be able to escape even if he wanted to.

I'll share my ideas then.

If he still disagrees, then some of the grand plans will have to be scaled back.

"Shoot with real footage! That's great! The special effects also need to be done well. Don't worry about the money; just go all out and do it!"

Tang Jinshan said nonchalantly.

Of course, the more he loses, the better. He's been waiting for Tsui Hark's "The Legend of Zu" for a long time!

"Mr. Tang, you're so generous! I'm relieved to hear you say that! I'll toast you!"

Xu Laoguai instantly became incredibly enthusiastic.

He never expected that Tang Jinshan would be so easy to talk to, persuading him to invest more without any effort.

"If you're going to film on location, where do you plan to go? How about just going to Mount Emei?"

Tang Jinshan suggested.

"If I could, of course I would."

Xu Ke was even more excited!

"It's alright, feel free to think big. Besides, I'm very familiar with Han Shanping. He came from the Emei Film Studio, so we can definitely ask him for help, whether in Beijing or Sichuan."

Tang Jinshan said.

"President Tang has such a wide network of connections! It's hard for him not to succeed!"

Xu Ke's heart was filled with turbulent emotions.

Unexpectedly, Tang Jinshan knew Han Shanping!

If we were to film on location in mainland China, we would definitely need the cooperation and assistance of many people.

With his own reputation and Tang Jinshan's connections, he's got it figured out this time!

Moreover, with such a large investment, it's only possible to recoup the costs if the film is released in mainland China.

That makes it even more necessary to maintain good relations with the mainland!

He came tonight specifically for the funds, and a huge weight was lifted off his shoulders.

Moreover, it was Tang Jinshan who told him to go all out and do it. Even if he went over budget again, he would still be doing it according to Tang Jinshan's requirements.

As for casting, there's still a lot of work to be done in the early stages, so there's no rush.

Take your time.

However, he needed to find out what Tang Jinshan was thinking.

After all, besides investing, he also starred in all of them himself.

I'll definitely let him build his own lineup.

To this end, he spent a lot of effort first creating a rough script.

"Mr. Tang, who would you like to cast as the female lead? Li Jiaxin?"

"No rush, let's wait and see. You focus on your own work first."

In Tang Jinshan's mind, Li Jiaxin was never the best choice.

Actually, he wanted Fan Yongbing to replace Zhang Baizhi in the roles of Gu Yue and Li Yingqi.

However, Li Jiaxin acted as a go-between from beginning to end, having already secured the lead actress.

If we replace her, who knows what kind of chaos will ensue.

The next day, he went to see Li Jiaxin to give her a heads-up.

"Say it again?"

Ignoring the fact that the two were having a close conversation, Li Jiaxin immediately turned hostile.

That bastard, why won't he get the lead role? Which bitch does he want to get for himself?

She would try to take anything that didn't belong to her, let alone something that was rightfully hers.

"I'll give you my Ferrari."

Tang Jinshan was prepared; he even brought the keys.

Are you serious?

Li Jiaxin was stunned.

Tang Jinshan's Ferrari F50 is really cool.

And who in all of Hong Kong doesn't know that's his car?

If I gave it to myself, I would definitely be the most outstanding person ever!

But which bitch does he actually want to play the female lead?

To force himself to withdraw from the competition, he even brought out a Ferrari!

"I'm not being biased, you're just really not suitable for this role. How about this, I'll give you a Hollywood leading lady role in the future as compensation."

Tang Jinshan added.

"Hollywood?"

"Of course, now that I'm in the film industry, what's so strange about me investing in Hollywood films in addition to Chinese-language films?"

"Fine, you said it! If you lie to me, you'll be sorry!"

If Tang Jinshan invests in a movie so that he can act in a Hollywood film, he will be even more in the limelight!

She reluctantly accepted this outcome.

"So, who do you want to cast as the female lead?"

Li Jiaxin pressed for an answer.

"Fan Bingbing, she's almost finished filming 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'."

"Go to hell! You bastard! Don't ever come looking for me again!"

Li Jiaxin was instantly furious.

It's Fan Bingshui again!

Not content with stealing her Jade Dragon role last time, this time they've stolen her leading lady role!

Lee An's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" had a budget of $15 million, and Tsui Hark's "The Legend of Zu" had a budget of 60 to 70 million.

However, Tang Jinshan gave all these big-name directors and big-budget productions to Fan Bingbing!

Then what am I?

At that moment, an even greater crisis began to emerge in her heart.

Fan Yongbing was able to play Yu Jiaolong because she was young.

Is the female lead in "The Legend of Shushan" like that now?

Fan Bingbing and Tang Jinshan were about the same age, while he himself was ten years older.

Men will always prefer eighteen-year-olds.

Tang Jinshan also knew that he had gone too far.

But Bing is definitely more suitable than Li Jiaxin!

He was also considering the film.

We can't let Li Jiaxin's personal feelings overshadow the quality of the movie, can we?
