Chapter 47 I like making friends
After arriving at Chengtian headquarters, with Tang Yan, the contracted artist, leading the way, Lin Shu arrived at the door of Wu Kebo's office unimpeded.
"Director Lin, please wait a moment, I will go in first and tell Mr. Wu that you are here."
Lin Shu nodded and motioned for her to go in and notify.
Not even two minutes after Tang Yan walked into the office, Wu Kebo, with a look of surprise on his face, pushed out the door and greeted Lin Shu.
"Director Lin, last time I said goodbye to you at the Hilton Hotel, you were really busy and made it difficult for me to make an appointment!"
"Mr. Wu, you're welcome. During this time, I have been staying in the hotel to retreat and write the script. As soon as I left the house, I was blocked by the messenger you sent."
Lin Shu looked at Tang Yan in front of Wu Kebo and indicated that he was invited by her.
"Director Lin was joking. I just got a good cup of tea recently. It doesn't look good if we stand outside talking like this. Why don't we go in and drink and chat."
"Since it's good tea, you can't miss it. Guests are welcome, Mr. Wu, please."
After a few polite words, the two went directly into Chairman Chengtian's office, while Tang Yan standing aside was completely transparent.
If Lin Shu hadn't given her a look at the end, asking her to follow him, Tang Yan might not even have known where to put herself.
Entering the office, Wu Kebo, who was sitting on the sofa, was also surprised when he saw Tang Yan following him. He didn't seem to ask him to come in just now.
When Lin Shu saw this, he quickly explained: "I overstepped my bounds. I came to Chengtian as a guest today at the request of senior Tang Yan, so I called her in self-righteously and asked Mr. Wu not to be offended."
"Haha! How could it be possible? Since Director Lin wants you to come in, Xiao Tang, then sit next to him and pour tea for us both."
Wu Kebo showed an I-know-you smile, and then assigned Tang Yan to serve tea for the two of them.
Little stars who are not yet famous are like serving tea in front of the big guys. Even if you have a little fame, as long as the top big guys in the industry ask you to take off your shoes and dance on the spot, you have to dance immediately.

Lin Shu just took a look at Tang Yan's arrangements and said nothing. This is Chengtian, how Wu Kebo manages his employees, Lin Shu can't and can't control him.
At the door just now, it was against the rules for Lin Shu to make the decision to let Tang Yan in. It was only because Wu Kebo asked someone to ask for help that he easily got over it.
Tang Yan's technique of operating the tea set was very unfamiliar, and he didn't look like someone who often did this. Fortunately, Wu Kebo was there to give guidance, otherwise Lin Shu wouldn't know whether he could drink this cup of tea.
Soon a cup of second-brewed tea was delivered to Lin Shu. He tasted it and found it was better than Han Sanping's.
"Director Lin is young and promising. His first movie successfully earned 200 million yuan at the box office, which is amazing. I, Mr. Wu, am here to offer you a cup of tea instead of wine."
Seeing the other party draining a cup of tea, Lin Shu could only follow him and drink the newly added tea.
"Mr. Wu, I don't like to beat around the bush. You made two appointments with me, and now we've had tea. If you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly."
"Director Lin is quick to talk, so I will tell you straight away. What is the movie project that Director Lin is preparing recently?"
Facing Wu Kebo's questioning gaze, Lin Shu said with a deep smile: "With Mr. Wu's connections, how could he not know about the project I am preparing? Hasn't China Film and Television already approved the project?"
After hearing this, Wu Kebo's face showed a true expression.
Then he asked eagerly: "The sequel to Sherlock has been widely spread in the circle, but I don't know if the movie still needs investment? Chengtian doesn't have anything else, and the funds are still available."
Wu Kebo's confidence to give money whenever he disagrees comes from the Hong Kong and Japanese capital behind Chengtian. Now they are competing with Huayi for the title of the first brother of a private film and television company.
However, Huayi is controlled by Feng Xiaogang, but Chengtian cannot even produce a decent director. This has resulted in Chengtian always being at a disadvantage in the competition with Huayi.
In the past few years, Wu Kebo has understood a truth. If you want to run a good film and television company, you can't just have money. You must also have a director in charge to make it bigger and create greater glory.
In Wu Kebo's eyes, Lin Shu is the great director Cheng Tian needs.
However, Lin Shu ignored Wu Kebo's eager expectations. He squeezed the teacup in his hand and asked with interest: "Mr. Wu, does he know why I want to cooperate with China Film Group?"
Of course it's because China Film Group is the number one in the industry! This idea appeared in Wu Kebo's mind almost immediately, but he also immediately realized that what Lin Shu wanted to express was not simply about the strength of Chengtian and China Film Group.
.
Wu Kebo, who couldn't figure it out after thinking for a long time, said helplessly: "Director Lin, I really can't think of this question. Can you tell me why?"
Lin Shu did not answer Wu Kebo immediately. He leaned closer and stared at him, then slowly said: "Mr. Wu, do you think money is more important to me, or people are more important to me?"
Wu Kebo unconsciously distanced himself from Lin Shu, and he tentatively said: "Is it important to be a person?"
"Yes! People are important. I have said more than once that the release of Sherlock is all thanks to Master Han's eye for heroes. I have also publicly stated that I will cooperate with China Film in the production of this sequel, so this time I really
There is no way to count Chengtian"
"I understand, I only regret that I didn't go to the theater that day and missed you, Director Lin!"
Wu Kebo said with great regret that if he knew that Detective Sherlock could be so successful, he would have no problem letting him live directly in the theater.
When Lin Shu saw the other party talking like this, out of the principle of making it easier to meet each other in the future, he also comforted Wu Kebo.
"Mr. Wu is serious. I have always liked making friends in my life. We are all in the same circle. If we don't have a chance to cooperate this time, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
"It makes sense, it makes sense! Director Lin, no, Brother Lin. Whatever is useful in the future belongs to me, Wu Kebo. Just ask, we will be friends from today on!"
The two parties formed a good relationship, and today's goal was almost achieved. When Lin Shu started to say goodbye, Wu Kebo personally sent him to the door.
"Brother Lin, if you have any projects in the future, please remember to be brothers! Tang Yan, you can send Director Lin off for me, and have dinner with Director Lin by the way. The expenses will be recorded in the company's account."
Wu Kebo did not give money as a gift, but gave it to someone else. Lin Shu would naturally not refuse such a gift.
Back at the hotel door, Lin Shu and Tang Yan both knew what was going to happen next, and they were both waiting for the other to speak first.
Chapter completed!
