Chapter 151 The Photographer's Ambition
Liu Yanran asked in the text message if she could be his female companion when he returned to Kyoto to attend the celebration party of "Crazy Diamond".
For some reason, Tang Long saw a hint of weakness in this short text message. He couldn't help but frown slightly. Did something happen to this girl?
Because he was busy with promotions during this period, he no longer responded to Liu Yanran's messages as quickly as before.
I usually only reply after a few hours or a day when I think of it. Liu Yanran must be a little unhappy, and the text messages gradually became less frequent than before.
In his mind, Tang Long's impression of Liu Yanran always remained that of her bright eyes and bright teeth when he first met her.
He couldn't imagine what it would look like if that innocent and pretty face was stained with sadness.
Thinking of the last time they met at the premiere of "Crazy Diamond", Liu Yanran seemed to have something to say to him, but she was too busy at the time to pay attention to her.
Tang Long found Liu Yanran's phone number and was about to call it. He had always been grateful to Liu Yanran.
Liu Yanran helped him get through the most difficult moment when he came to this world. She lent him money and recommended him to be Yang Guo's substitute.
Without Liu Yanran's help, he might have left Longshan Film and Television City to look for other opportunities, and naturally there would be no possibility of meeting Lin Yao later.
When Tang Long was about to press the dial, he suddenly thought that there was someone behind him. With Chen Sisi's appearance, she probably wouldn't continue to be around him, so there were some things that she couldn't let her know too much about.
I thought that I was going to Kyoto tomorrow and it might be better to ask her to meet and chat in person at that time, so I replied to her message first.
Zhang Zhizhi probably won't go to Kyoto this time, so there is no problem in letting Liu Yanran be his female companion.
"bite……"
The elevator door opened and Tang Long walked out first. He saw a woman dressed similarly to him walking towards him. She was also covered up tightly and she was holding a bag in her hand.
The two stopped at the same time, and Tang Long called tentatively: "Mannie?"
The woman turned her sunglasses downwards, glanced at Tang Long quickly, and called out: "Aaron, good morning, last night... were you okay last night?"
"Well……"
Tang Long was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer this question, "Very good, thank you!"
He stepped aside and said, "They are still sleeping. If there is no schedule today, you can let them sleep a little longer..."
Huo Manni was startled, looked at Tang Long with some disbelief, nodded and said: "I know, I will adjust their work..."
"Mannie, thank you..."
"Uh, no need, this is my job..."
"..."
"..."
Both of them realized that their chat was a bit awkward, so they both stopped talking.
Tang Long made an invitation gesture and motioned for Hao Manni to get on the elevator. Hao Manni said thank you and walked into the elevator with her bag.
The two waved goodbye. Haomanni pressed the elevator button and breathed a sigh of relief. When she was about to press the floor button, she heard Tang Long calling her name. She hesitated and pressed the elevator button again.
Tang Long stood at the door of the elevator, "Mannie, help me say hello to Yang Sheng. Also, thank him. I have received his thoughts..."
Homanni nodded and said: "ok, I will..."
"bite……"
The elevator closed again, Tang Long turned around and walked towards the nanny car parked not far away.
Just as he was about to get up, a horn sounded next to him. He looked over and saw Liu Sheng in the driver's seat, so he walked over.
Tang Long got into Brother Sheng's car. After saying hello, he asked Lin Yao and Amy, "Why are you here? Is there anything wrong?"
Lin Yao first signaled Liu Sheng to drive, and was about to speak, but was preempted by Amy.
Amy lay on Lin Yao's shoulder and said with a smile: "We didn't sleep well last night, for fear of receiving another call from Mrs. Chen. The twins of Eagle Emperor have tiny penises. I'm really afraid... ugh
Huh..."
Lin Yao grabbed her with her backhand, then turned around and gave her a fierce look.
Amy rubbed the pinched area on her chest, immediately changed her words, and said with a smile: "Well, boss Yang usually looks like a baby, but he actually used it to win over you like this. It seems that you helped him change "New Police Story" this time.
"The script scared him. By the way, we just saw Hao Manni's face in the car, and we were afraid that she would go up and kill you, hahaha..."
Tang Long was startled. Huo Manni's attitude just now seemed to be bad!
Then I thought that I had read some reports that Hao Manni, Asa and Gillian were sisters, so it was understandable that Hao Manni had objections to him.
Tang Long shrugged. Anyway, he had no intention of getting involved with the Eagle Emperor again in the future. It was Yang Cheng who held him back last night, and it was difficult to refuse such kindness.
Apart from the blessing of status, there is no fun and I am not very good at pleasing people.
By the way, last night he specifically asked Gillian if she was dating Edison Chen.
Gillian didn't seem to understand what he said, and she said stupidly and naively that the company wouldn't let them date now.
In fact, as he came into contact with more female celebrities, Tang Long began to understand why Edison Chen liked photography.
Because he would have this idea many times and it gave him a great sense of accomplishment, so he recorded the impulse and kept it for later appreciation.
Tang Long was not sure. With his intervention, Edison Chen would not have the chance to be a photographer in the future. Anyway, the chance of Zhang Zhizhi appearing in the photos was slim.
Tang Long recalled the scene last night, and the blurry photos in his mind became clear again. He breathed a sigh of relief and asked Lin Yao: "What did you want to say just now?"
Lin Yao hesitated for a moment before saying: "Aunt called my grandfather last night, and then Shengshi Pictures and my family decided to inject capital into Venus Pictures..."
Seeing that Tang Long's expression suddenly froze, she hurriedly explained: "It's just a capital increase, but your shares will not be diluted, don't worry..."
Tang Long's heart dropped instantly when he mentioned it. It seemed that he was planning to give him money.
He asked: "How much is the capital increase?"
Amy replied for Lin Yao: "One hundred million, the Lin family contributed 60 million, and Shengshi Pictures contributed 40 million. Last night when you were so free and happy, Mandy argued with them for you, and Mrs. Chen also spoke for you. Only then
It protects your shares from being diluted. Also, next, Shengshi Pictures will intervene in the management of Venus Pictures. Mrs. Chen will be in charge of the artist manager of Venus Pictures. The Huang Hao you mentioned before,
It will also be signed under Venus Pictures..."
Tang Long listened to Amy's statement quietly. He never expected that such a big change would happen to the company overnight.
The Lin family and Shengshi Pictures have a good understanding of the investment in Venus Pictures, because "Crazy Diamond" with an investment of 5 million will have a box office of more than 100 million and a profit of at least 40 million.
If you include the subsequent copyright, DVD, TV licensing and other income, the profit can reach at least more than 60 million, nearly 12 times the income. It would be strange not to be tempted.
The reason why his shares were not diluted was because of Mandy and Xiang Lan's help in talking, and probably Yang Cheng's assistance.
With Yang Cheng working so hard to win over, Shengshi Pictures and the Lin family naturally have to be wary of the risk of him being poached.
Despite this, Tang Long still solemnly thanked Lin Yao, but Lin Yao felt a little guilty, "Aaron, I'm sorry, there are some things I can't make the decision..."
Amy added, "By the way, one more thing, Mandy holds 50% of Venus Pictures and will transfer 15%..."
