Huayu 2015, the Artist of Light and Shadow

Chapter 198 of "The Wandering Earth": When people are short of money and need to beg for donations, they turn to Lu Yunzhou first! That's what reputation in the martial arts world is all about!!

Yanjing.

Mojing Tianhe Visual Effects Company.

The post-production of the movie "The Wandering Earth" is in its final stages, but director Guo Fan is still not satisfied with a few special effects shots.

He personally went to the visual effects company and watched the programmers render the effects frame by frame.

In the later special effects, the moment the planetary engine shot into the sky like a steel dome and spewed flames, he always felt that it didn't seem like the physical world.

It's just like an animated film.

But if you insist on simulating the gushing state of the physical world, the money for special effects will be burning through cash.

However, if you save a little money here, the impact of the movie will be greatly reduced.

"I really don't have enough money."

Ultimately, it all comes down to money.

Director Guo Fan had already obtained a considerable amount of money from several people, but in the final stages of the film, he ended up spending it all.

He stood at the end of the corridor, a Starbucks in his left hand and a cigarette butt on his right fingertip, the ashes not yet completely burned.

The setting sun in the distance dyed the maple leaves red.

In the autumn of Yanjing, the wind blowing in felt like a knife stinging my face.

It's time to get off work again.

The programmers, dressed in plaid shirts and wearing thick coats, mostly drove Volkswagen family cars, with the Tiguan being the most common.

Because of Lu Yunzhou's unintentional promotion, the Tiguan has become the most memorable family car in the minds of young girls.

My real husband drives this car, how could it be bad?

The programmers, in twos and threes, got into the elevator and asked each other what to eat for dinner. One of them said he had made plans to see "The Fairy Castle 2" with a female college student he had just met.

This movie is awesome.

I heard it grossed over $12 billion worldwide.

This must be the box office ceiling for domestic commercial films, right?

"12 billion US dollars? My God!"

"When will I be able to be that awesome?"

Director Guo Fan stood in the corner of the corridor, by a window, drinking coffee and smoking.

His eyes were narrowed and bloodshot.

Since he started making movies, he has been so busy that he barely has time to rest, and he only sleeps three or four hours a day.

Sometimes he couldn't help but wonder: why did he have to do this torturous job? Making a movie would shorten his lifespan by at least 10 years.

"The Fairy Castle 2, $12 billion at the box office? Lu Yunzhou? Wait a minute, wait a minute—I've got a new idea."

meaning!"

"Ha ha!"

"My budget is secured!"

The elevator doors behind him opened intermittently. Amidst the footsteps of the programmer and the occasional WeChat notification sounds, Director Guo Fan suddenly realized that he had found another lucrative target.

wrong.

The term "fat sheep" is too offensive and should not be used to cause misunderstandings.

They should be called saviors.

Guo Fan stubbed out his cigarette, placed his coffee on the railing, took out his phone, and called Wu Jing: "Brother Jing, I heard you're quite familiar with Director Lu Yunzhou?"

On the other end of the phone, Wu Jing patted his chest confidently and said, "Little Boat Bro, he's my best buddy! You need to talk to him?"

Director Guo Fan thought to himself, he had no connection with Lu Yunzhou at all, so even if he went to Lu Yunzhou, would he be able to give him money?

Impossible.

Lu Yunzhou doesn't use his own money to make movies; he always asks for donations from outside.

However, Lu Yunzhou's ability to beg for alms was 100 times better than his own.

When Guo Fan sought investment, he practically begged and pleaded, almost kneeling before people, or resorting to deception and trickery.

Meanwhile, on Lu Yunzhou's side, people were eager to give him money, afraid that he would refuse it.

The contrast before and after made Guo Fan drool with envy.

However, he also has his own unique skills.

Taking a deep breath, Director Guo Fan said calmly, "Brother Jing, it's not me who needs to see him—it's you who needs to see him."

"I need to speak with him about something?"

Wu Jing was stunned for a moment, his mind completely blank: "I've been contacting him lately—you mean, with 'The Fairy Castle 2' doing so well at the box office, he might be holding a celebration party soon, and hasn't told me yet. You want me to ask him if he's forgotten about his old buddies?"

"That's not the case."

Director Guo Fan said in a serious tone, "Brother Jing, you invested 6000 in the movie 'The Wandering Earth'..."

Ten thousand. Isn't that right?

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

Wu Jing felt his mind was a little sluggish.

He's only in his early forties, has he already started getting dementia?

Maybe.

If he didn't have Alzheimer's, how could he have given Guo Fan 6000 million?

Could it be that this old man has run out of budget again?

"It's good that you still remember this 6000 million."

Director Guo Fan suddenly chuckled silently, a confident smile spreading across his face: "Brother Jing, I've done the post-production work, and we're still short 3000 million—you know what I mean."

Fuck!

I knew it!

Upon hearing this, Wu Jing slapped his thigh, his expression as if he were constipated.

As expected, Guo Fan has spent all his money again.

Guo Fan, that old fox, has learned his lesson and knows he's too ashamed to ask others for investment anymore.

This old bastard has set his sights on me.

I was really stupid to have actually invested 6000 million in him.

To avoid losing the 6000 million, Wu Jing knew that he could only act like a pyramid scheme member, finding more downlines to help Guo Fan swindle more money.

Lu Yunzhou is their next easy target.

On the other end of the phone, Wu Jing kept clenching his fists. If Guo Fan were standing in front of him, he would have punched him away long ago.

Unfortunately, he couldn't reach Guo Fan over the phone.

At this moment, Wu Jing could only grit his teeth and say, "Guo Fan, you just wait! If this movie flops..."

"I'll kill you, you bastard!"

"Don't worry, it won't fall."

Guo Fan was well aware of the film's quality.

Throughout the entire film, he created over 2000 special effects shots, and it's another work by Liu Cixin, a master of Chinese science fiction.

The buffs are practically maxed out!

In addition, it stars Wu Jing, a popular superstar.

Unfortunately, he still had some basic principles as a cultured person and cared too much about his reputation, so he didn't use Wu Jing's connections to trick Lu Yunzhou into joining him.

If Lu Yunzhou and Wu Jing starred together, that would be a double guarantee.

The regrets of "Wolf Warrior 2" will be made up for in "The Wandering Earth," and audiences will be clamoring to buy tickets to the cinema.

Pity.

However, there is still time.

"If this movie flops—Guo Fan, unless you run to the moon, you won't be able to stay in any country on Earth!"

"Our Little Boat Brother isn't as easy to talk to as I am—if you cheat him out of his money, he has connections everywhere and can protect people all over the Middle East."

In many people's minds, the Middle East is the most dangerous and extreme place in the world.

If he can be protected in the Middle East, where else can Guo Fan run to?

Actually, Wu Jing had already agreed to Guo Fan's idea as soon as it was proposed. It would be much safer to bring Lu Yunzhou on board as well.

I guarantee his money won't go down the drain.

"Don't worry, it won't fall." Guo Fan repeated the same thing.

He is very confident about this film.

This movie is already triple-insured. If we bring Lu Yunzhou along and give him the title of art director during the promotion, then it's quadruple-insurance.

If all else fails, just say that Lu Yunzhou helped with the post-production of the movie!

"The Fairy Castle 2" is so popular now, with its domestic box office exceeding 40 billion yuan. What's wrong with him sharing some of Lu Yunzhou's good fortune?

"Okay, I'll make the call for you."

Wu Jing felt that Guo Fan was simply toxic; he had completely fooled him with just a few words.

He is almost identical to Lu Yunzhou.

These directors who can make movies are all big liars; they're the only honest ones.

After taking a sip of wine to calm his nerves, Wu Jing checked the time and figured that Lu Yunzhou should have just finished dinner and hadn't had a chance to enjoy the nightlife yet.

However, the pace of life for young people is hard to predict.

To avoid disturbing Lu Yunzhou, he first sent Lu Yunzhou a WeChat message: "Brother Xiao Chuan, do you have time?"

Let's chat for a bit.

A short while later, Lu Yunzhou called directly: "Brother Jing, what's up? I haven't congratulated you yet on having another son."

Last month, Wu Jing's second son was born, and he finally had a "carefree" family.

Although she was quite happy to have her second son, Wu Jing couldn't help but complain, "Ugh, don't even mention it. This month has been exhausting."

When a new baby arrives in the house, everything changes.

However, Lu Yunzhou doesn't have a son yet, so Wu Jing didn't say much, as it would sound like he was showing off.

This doesn't fit his desired deceptive work going forward.

After chatting about everyday things for a while, Wu Jing finally spoke up: "Brother Xiaochuan, didn't I recently act in a movie called 'The Wandering Earth'?"

"This film has excellent production quality. The director is also very talented. However, the director is bad at math and often makes mistakes in budgeting. Now, with post-production almost finished, we've calculated the budget again, and we're a little short. So, I'm shamelessly asking you for a donation. Would you be interested in investing?"

Generally speaking, a director will not submit another director's work to a film.

But Lu Yunzhou is not only a director, but also a capitalist.

Everyone knows he's rich.

Since Wu Jing had already spoken, he had to give a little something out of politeness.

But Lu Yunzhou has his own principles. He doesn't even invest much in his own films, so how could he invest in other people's films?

Doesn't this make Guo Fan's movies seem better and more commercially valuable than his?

Lu Yunzhou wouldn't invest in this movie, but he pointed Wu Jing in a direction: "Brother Jing, for investments like this, you should ask Sister. Sister has money. Besides, Sister is in charge of our company's accounts now."

Lu Yunzhou did not refuse.

That means you agree.

Wu Jing instantly understood Lu Yunzhou's meaning: "It's good that you agree! Do you think Tangtang would refuse you?"

Although the situation between Lu Yunzhou and Tang Yan has not been publicly revealed, people in the industry can basically guess what's going on.

They've started a family business, what else could it be?

Liu Shishi married Wu Qilong, but she didn't have as much influence in Straw Bear Company as Tang Yan.

It is conceivable that Lu Yunzhou's level of trust in Tang Yan far exceeded Wu Qilong's level of trust in Liu Shishi.

of course.

It could also be because Tang Yan was much more shrewd than Liu Shishi. Everyone in the company trusted Tang Yan to manage the company's accounts.

Because Tang Yan is rarely fooled.

Liu Shishi was no longer suitable.

Wu Qilong also knew that Liu Shishi wasn't that shrewd—she had been tricked into coming to his home for targeted elderly care, so how smart could she be?

Tang Yan, on the other hand, tricked Lu Yunzhou into coming to her home, making her her golden pixiu (a mythical creature believed to bring wealth and prosperity), and helping her earn money for her retirement.

Comparing their IQs, Tang Yan is at least twice as smart as Liu Shishi!

Mount Putuo.

Mount Putuo is the sacred site of Guanyin, the Bodhisattva of Compassion in the South China Sea.

Many people don't know much about Mount Putuo, only that the bodhisattvas there are very efficacious — but in reality, the bodhisattvas there are indeed very efficacious.

But the Bodhisattva doesn't protect mortals. Instead, she protects them so that the typhoon doesn't pass through!

Historically, many typhoons that reached Putuoshan, which is Zhoushan area, were deflected northeastward as if protected by a super magnetic field.

Therefore, the city opposite Zhoushan was named "Ningbo".

With nothing else to do, Tang Yan brought people to Mount Putuo to worship Buddha again.

Zhang Ruonan is about to give birth, but Tang Yan's belly is empty, and she's already approaching the age of advanced maternal age. She's really getting anxious.

If she doesn't have a child to inherit her vast fortune of billions, is she supposed to give it to someone else's child?

She would rather die than accept it!

"Qiqi, when you're praying to Buddha, you need to be more serious."

Tang Yan was kneeling and praying devoutly, while Chen Yuqi next to her was playing on her phone, absentmindedly, and almost got her ear twisted by Tang Yan.

"I'm sorry, Sister Tangtang."

Chen Yuqi was startled.

Tang Yan is usually very good to her; she always thinks of her when something good happens and rarely yells at her. Today, she was so scared that she almost jumped up.

After the two finished their devout prayers to Buddha.

The assistant quickly went up to help Tang Yan up and reported, "Sister, someone just called you."

Tang Yan reached out her hand, and her assistant immediately handed her the phone.

Tang Yan glanced at the caller ID and saw it was from Wu Jing. That was strange. Why would Wu Jing contact her out of the blue?

She hasn't been filming lately; she's focusing on being a boss lady.

Leaving Wu Jing's matter aside for now, Tang Yan turned to Chen Yuqi and earnestly instructed, "Next month, a period drama called 'The Twin Flower Legend' is starting in Hengdian, starring you and Yu Menglong. When you get to Hengdian, be serious. Don't just laugh and joke around all the time."

"Ashes of Love" made Chen Yuqi an instant star.

Her resources were upgraded accordingly.

There are many period dramas in the Kiwi region, and Tang Yan recommended Chen Yuqi to play the female lead.

Wang Ran never got to have such a good opportunity.

With Lu Yunzhou supporting her, Tian Xiwei is specifically positioned as a cool and sassy action heroine, so she doesn't need to.

As for Liu Haocun, she looks down on idol dramas, but if there's a big commercial film, she'll naturally be the one to take it.

"Understood, elder sister."

Chen Yuqi also knew that among all the female artists in the company, Tang Yan treated her the best.

The most likely reason, in her opinion, was that she hadn't gone to become Lu Yunzhou's concubine, which made Tang Yan quite gratified.

Therefore, Tang Yan tries her best to make up for herself in her career.

In the past two years, Tang Yan has basically reserved all the resources that she could access for her.

"Qiqi, I'm going to Italy in two months. You'll be all alone, so be careful. If anything happens, call Sister Ji."

Zhang Ruonan had previously said that if Tang Yan gave birth to a son, she would come over to take care of Tang Yan during her postpartum period.

Now that Zhang Ruonan has given birth to a son, Tang Yan thought about it and decided she had to go and take care of Zhang Ruonan during her postpartum period, so that Zhang Ruonan would remember her kindness for the rest of her life.

Wang Ran definitely couldn't do that.

In this way, although I am Tang San, I am actually the eldest sister! Only the eldest sister can take care of others during their postpartum period!

Those smaller ones aren't even in their element yet.

Thinking about it this way, Tang Yan felt wonderful.

With a wave of her hand, she led the group back to the hotel for dinner.

After she had eaten and drunk her fill, she remembered to call Wu Jing back: "Brother Jing, something came up this afternoon and I was held up. It's been a while since we last talked. How are things going on your end? I heard your wife gave birth to another son for you. Congratulations!"

Having given birth to two sons, Wu Jing's life was truly blissful.

Wu Jing's wife is the same age as Tang Yan and has already given birth to two sons. Look at yourself then.

No, I have to try harder too!

"Tangtang, I heard you recently transitioned to being a chairperson, and every investment you make is a hit. I have a really good project here, are you interested?"

Wu Jing first praised Tang Yan a few times.

Tang Yan's recent investment moves are indeed impressive.

The nominal producer of the three TV series "The Day Is Coming", "Ashes of Love" and "Queen of Tears" is Tang Yan.

In addition, Tang Yan is also a producer on several of Lu Yunzhou's films.

Since Tang Yan transitioned into a business owner, none of her films have been unprofitable.

"A science fiction movie?"

Upon hearing Wu Jing mention the "Wandering Earth" project, Tang Yan smacked her lips: "Domestic directors can actually make science fiction movies? Is this project even feasible?"

Tang Yan has been in this industry for so long, and she has never heard of anyone in China making a science fiction movie.

Wu Jing didn't explain, but directly brought up Lu Yunzhou: "I mentioned it to Yunzhou yesterday, and he's quite interested in this project and also approves of Director Guo Fan. However, he said that you have the final say on the company's finances, but when it comes to investing in films, you have to give your approval. He even joked that I've chosen the wrong side."

"That's why I've bathed, changed my clothes, burned incense, and prayed today before coming to worship you, the true Buddha. I hope that you, the compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva, will have a little pity on us."

"The film and television industry is currently experiencing a downturn, and capital is no longer investing in it. Look at the listed companies in the domestic entertainment industry; their stocks are guaranteed to drop by at least 30% this year, and everyone else is struggling."

"Only your family has such deep pockets. The Fairy Castle series is a goldmine, it's incredibly profitable."

"That's it. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, next year will likely see another several hundred million US dollars in revenue sharing."

After praising Tang Yan for a while, Wu Jing sighed again: "The other companies weren't so lucky. If I hadn't searched all the other companies, I wouldn't have been able to come to you. To be honest, I'm also worried about this movie."

"So, I asked Yunzhou first, and he said it was okay to invest, only then did I dare to shamelessly come to you. Otherwise, if I lost money, wouldn't that break your invincible image, Guanyin Bodhisattva?"

Wu Jing speaks with great confidence and assertiveness when he's out in public.

However, you have to be careful who you talk to.

He knew Tang Yan liked hearing these kinds of things, so he deliberately chose words that would make Tang Yan happy.

Tang Yan likes to go to Mount Putuo to worship Guanyin, right? He directly said that Tang Yan is Guanyin Bodhisattva, wouldn't that make Tang Yan overjoyed?

Tang Yan was indeed quite pleased with herself, and said leisurely, "Brother Jing, you're so good at sweet-talking people, does your wife know? Tell me honestly, how many women are you keeping on the side?"

"No, no. How could I dare?"

Wu Jing shook his head hastily, saying that even if it were true, he couldn't admit it.

He got down to business and said, "Tangtang, how about it? Interested in being a producer? It's a pinnacle of Chinese science fiction films. Even if it loses money, it won't be by much. But it'll be enough to make you go down in history. In the future, when people mention you, they'll say, 'You're one of the founders of Chinese science fiction films.'"

"What founder of Chinese science fiction films? That's too much of a title for me."

Tang Yan covered her mouth and chuckled: "Since Yunzhou from our family said he'd vote, I might not give face to others, but how could I not give face to him? Tell me, how much more is needed? I'll take it all."

Upon hearing this, Wu Jing immediately laughed: "That's exactly what I've been waiting for! 5000 million is enough!"

Guo Fan wanted 3000 million.

Wu Jing thought to himself, "That old bastard Guo Fan has no bottom to his spending. What if he runs out of money again and I have to ask others for alms?"

Now we can achieve it all in one go.

Ask Tang Yan, the rich woman, for 5000 million.

"5000 million? That's enough to make a youth movie."

Tang Yan muttered something to herself, then quickly switched to WeChat and sent a message to Lu Yunzhou.

After receiving confirmation, Tang Yan suddenly changed her tone and readily said, "Yun Zhou mentioned to me how expensive science fiction movies are; they're even more expensive than fantasy movies. Okay, I'll invest in this movie. But you can't let me lose out on the share."

Wu Jing hurriedly agreed, "I understand, I understand, I definitely can't let you suffer a loss. This is emergency funding."

0

After thinking for a moment, Wu Jing made another promise: "I heard from director Guo Fan that 'The Wandering Earth' might become a series. Should I reserve a role for you?"

Tang Yan directly refused: "I'll pass. However, there's a girl in our company named Chen Yuqi, whom I think is quite good. If there's a sequel, I'll recommend her for a role. Remember to ask Director Guo Fan to reserve a role for me."

"no problem!"

Wu Jing readily agreed: "I'll have Director Guo Fan make a note of this for you. When we film the sequel, just let that girl named Chen Yuqi know. I guarantee she'll get a good role."

After finishing their business, Tang Yan asked Wu Jing a few more questions, such as what his wife usually ate during the preconception period.

How can you guarantee that you will have a son?

This was Wu Jing's proudest achievement, and he couldn't help but start bragging again, saying how incredibly strong he usually was. Having a son was a difficult thing for others, but for him it was as simple as eating and drinking.

Tang Yan thought to herself, "You only have two sons and you're already so good at bragging. Even Zhang Yimou can't brag as much as you."

"By the way, Brother Jing, next week, 'The Fairy Castle 2' is having a celebration party to celebrate surpassing 12 billion US dollars at the box office, breaking the record for domestic films. You should come too. Invite Director Guo Fan along, so you can get to know him."

With 5000 million yuan about to be spent, Tang Yan needs to at least know who she's spending this money on.

Investing is about investing in people.

The director is unreliable; nothing you say will make a difference.

What if Wu Jing acts as guarantor?

Wu Jing's reputation is not worth 5000 million.

Tang Yan only invested because Lu Yunzhou thought the project was worth investing in.

"Okay, Director Guo and I will definitely be there!"

Wu Jing made the decision for director Guo Fan.

After verbally agreeing to an additional investment of 5000 million, Wu Jing went directly to the post-production special effects company to find director Guo Fan.

When Director Guo Fan saw Wu Jing arrive, he rushed over and asked, "Brother Jing, how did it go? Did you get the money?"

"If a man like me goes out in person, how can I not make money?"

Wu Jing pointed to himself with his thumb, then held up five fingers in front of Guo Fan, saying arrogantly, "5000 million! Is that enough for you?"

"That's enough! Absolutely enough!"

Upon hearing about the additional 5000 million yuan in funding, Guo Fan was immediately filled with confidence. He rushed back to his office and told a special effects supervisor, "Re-render it for me, it has to conform to the laws of physics! Don't make it look like an animated film! Don't look at me like that—the budget is absolutely in place!"

"As long as you have money!"

Special effects companies get things done based on money.

What special effects can you do if you don't have money?

Guo Fan, in particular, has been in arrears for a long time.

The boss has already spoken to them privately, telling them to dawdle and not to finish the work all at once.

It was all to force Guo Fan to deposit some money first.

Seeing that the special effects studio staff had started working again, and this time their efficiency had obviously improved, Guo Fan knew that these people were just waiting for money.

If you don't have money, you won't work.

He wondered if he could find a company that would start working without paying him.

Guo Fan held a Starbucks in one hand, but couldn't resist lighting a cigarette with the other.

He saw Wu Jing looking around, so he pulled Wu Jing aside and offered him a cigarette.

After they both lit their cigarettes and puffed away for a while, Director Guo Fan said, "Brother Jing, I heard that Director Lu Yunzhou has his own special effects studio. Why don't you set one up too?"

Should I make one too?

Where can I get one?

You thought this was a Chinese cabbage?

Wu Jing looked at Director Guo Fan with a puzzled expression: "Director Guo, special effects studios are very expensive. Ordinary people can't afford to support them."

Director Guo Fan shook his head and looked at Wu Jing very seriously: "Brother Jing, believe me, you can afford to support him."

Wu Jing kept shaking his head: "I don't believe in myself."

Director Guo Fan continued, "Brother Jing, this is what I think—I believe Mojing Tianhe is a very promising company. After your tour, do you agree with my opinion?"

"It's actually not bad."

Wu Jing had just looked around at this company, and it seemed quite good.

Judging from current trends, heavy industry science fiction films may occupy a large proportion of the future film market.

The new generation of directors all place great importance on special effects and are learning from Hollywood's film management model.

Lu Yunzhou was the first to be affected.

Through his connections with Fosun Group and Studio 8, he learned from Warner Bros.' production experience and then made "F1: Racing," which validated this model.

Following that, he directed two more visually stunning special effects films.

As expected, his future films will definitely use more special effects, so he directly bought a special effects studio.

This is indeed the trend of the future.

But after thinking it over, Wu Jing shrugged and said, "Old Guo, you've said so much. I admit that the special effects done by Mojing Tianhe are pretty good—but what does that have to do with me?"

Guo Fan clapped his hands and unleashed his signature persuasive technique: "Brother Jing, what I mean is, since you think this company has a bright future, and special effects are the future trend of Chinese films, why don't you buy into the company before it takes off? You can't be the boss, but you can be a shareholder!"

Fuck!

He's here again!

For some reason, Wu Jing felt as if he had seen the same way Director Guo Fan spoke, his excited expression, and his way of making people involuntarily follow his rhythm—he seemed to have seen it in someone before.

Back then, Lu Yunzhou spent a few days on the set of "Wolf Warrior 2," and everyone was completely fooled by him; they were practically ready to defect en masse.

"I'll think about it."

Although he sensed that Guo Fan was trying to fool him, Wu Jing was an adult and had his own logic.

After careful consideration, he realized that the company did indeed have a promising future, and if he could acquire shares in it, they would likely be quite valuable in the future.

Moreover, I'm getting a bit old, and my body can't handle continuing to be an action actor. Special effects, on the other hand, can replace action actors and continue to create visual spectacles for the audience.

I bought it!

However, we absolutely cannot let that old bastard Guo Fan find out.

Because if he became the boss or one of the shareholders of this company, Guo Fan, that old bastard, would definitely come and owe him money when he made the movie.

The one who owes money is the boss.

I was too soft-hearted for a moment and he tricked me into joining the cast of "The Wandering Earth." It was supposed to be a cameo role, but I ended up getting a free part.

He filmed for 31 days and also invested 6000 million yuan in him.

Finally, to save face, he went to Tang Yan and Lu Yunzhou and helped them swindle another 5000 million.

Now, does he still want to continue taking advantage of me for free?

I, Wu Jing, will never be fooled!

After finishing his cigarette, Wu Jing went straight home.

Guo Fan watched his departing figure, stubbed out his cigarette, and smiled. "Think about it? Brother Jing, he just says so if he's interested."

"That's settled then. From now on, if I want to make another big-budget special effects movie, I won't have to beg and plead with investors for money anymore. I can just pay for the special effects on credit."

"Brother Jing is a proud man, so he definitely won't push me too hard! Besides, it's not like I'm not paying for the special effects, I'm just a little late."

on the way home.

Wu Jing instantly saw through Guo Fan's scheme and couldn't help but sneer: "That old bastard Guo Fan, does he think I'm a fool?"

"So, they're trying to trick me into buying a special effects company. Then they won't have to pay me for the special effects later, right?"

"However, he was right about one thing: visual effects companies will be quite valuable in the future."

Although Guo Fan was just fooling him, Wu Jing thought it over and over and still became very interested in the company, Mo Jing Tian He.

However, he couldn't have a direct relationship with this company, lest that old bastard Guo Fan come knocking on his door to beg for his money in the future.

Thinking of this, Wu Jing couldn't help but call Tang Yan again: "Tangtang, merciful Guanyin Bodhisattva, I have a great business opportunity here, a special effects company. Are you interested in learning more?"

Lu Yunzhou owns a special effects company, but it's located overseas.

Moreover, the special effects company that Lu Yunzhou owns basically only takes on projects for his own films. Apart from that, they take on some CG animation for games, which is enough to support them.

I rarely accept orders for other films.

However, no one in China knows more about special effects companies than Lu Yunzhou, including what they are and how they make money.

Lu Yunzhou is unlikely to be interested in the Ink Realm Heavenly River, but if he can persuade Tang Yan to take it over, what difference would it make from Lu Yunzhou taking it over directly?

I, Wu Jing, am not stupid. How could I possibly let Guo Fan take advantage of me?

I had Tang Yan handle it.

I invested with her.

Guo Fan, you can fool men out of their money, but you can't very well ask women for money on credit, can you?

chongqing.

"Brother, do you think I look better with straight hair or curly hair?"

For some reason, Zhang Jingyi suddenly had an epiphany these past few days and learned how to dress up, whether it was lipstick, perfume, or women's hairstyles.

Overnight, she learned it all by herself.

"Curling makes you look more mature and suits your face shape better. It makes you look more charming," Lu Yunzhou said almost without thinking.

Zhang Jingyi has a rather strong facial structure, and if she were to wear straight hair, she would appear very masculine.

Women with softer facial features are more suited to straight hair.

Curly hair suits girls with strong facial features, making Zhang Jingyi's toughness less pronounced and showing more femininity.

"Then I'll grow my hair curly when I'm not filming."

Zhang Jingyi leaned against Lu Yunzhou's chest, wondering what was going on with Zhou Ye. Knowing that she and Lu Yunzhou were a couple, why did she still come over?

Fortunately, Lu Yunzhou was very particular about this.

As long as he's by his side, he's indifferent to other women, so devoted that he doesn't seem like a scumbag at all!

"Jingjing, I need to take this call."

Just then, Tang Yan called Lu Yunzhou.

He made a shushing gesture to Zhang Jing and answered the phone: "Sister."

On the other end of the phone, Tang Yan laughed and said, "I don't know who tricked Brother Jing. He just got 5000 million in investment from me, and now he's asking if I want to invest in a special effects company together? I think it's called Mo Jing Tian He. This company is not bad, but how can it compare to our Swan Man Studio?"

Lu Yunzhou knew a bit about the company and chuckled, "This company is pretty good. It has a promising future. If you're interested, Sister, you can invest a little; you won't lose much anyway."

Tang Yan trusted Lu Yunzhou completely, and upon hearing Lu Yunzhou say this, she said, "Since you think this project is worthwhile, then I'll invest a little."

After finishing their business, Tang Yan said with a hint of resentment, "Come back early. Don't stay out too long."

Of course, there were also people from Tang Yan's crew in the production team.

Lu Yunzhou and Zhang Jingyi were inseparable, and no one could hide it from them.

"I'll be back in a couple of days."

Lu Yunzhou readily agreed.

He turned his head and saw Zhang Jingyi pouting, as if she was a little unhappy.

He gently pinched Zhang Jingyi's cheek and said with deep emotion, "There should be no cage in this world that can confine me."

"There's only one exception, and that's the girl I like."

Lu Yunzhou should have gone back a few days ago. The only answer that kept him here was Zhang Jingyi.

At least, that's what Zhang Jingyi thought.

The next second, her fiery red lips pressed directly against Lu Yunzhou's cheek, falling like raindrops.

Zhang Jingyi didn't understand what Lu Yunzhou was thinking, nor did she know what he was going to do next. It was precisely because she didn't understand him that she liked this man so much.

Perhaps in a few years, she won't like it so much anymore.

So let's indulge ourselves a little while this love is still fresh.

Their relationship was ultimately something that couldn't be made public!
