We chose a seat by the window and the three of us sat down separately.
Guo Shishi took the initiative to introduce Li Mubai's identity. When she heard that Li Mubai was from the mainland, Wang Jing's face was still surprised. The news of the Guo family's investment in the mainland had already spread throughout Xiangjiang, and everyone was concerned about it.
Have your own opinion.
However, Wang Jing became a little curious about the identity of the young man in front of him.
"Xiangzai, I heard that you have also fallen in love with "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" recently?" Guo Shishi understood a little bit of Wang Jing's thoughts in Wang Jing's eyes. It may be because of the relationship between the region and the environment. Xiangjiang people have a certain affection for mainland people.
A very great sense of superiority, and even a bit of discrimination.
"Yeah, I'm not the only one who likes to read "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty". You don't know, I heard that the sales volume of the newspaper has reached 160,000 copies every day. Especially the author, I really
I really doubt what's in his head. It's obviously a historical story, but it's written in such a way that people can't put it down." After talking about this novel, Wang Jing naturally started to talk a lot.
People in Xiangjiang have never lacked the spirit of gossip. Both men and women, especially those in the entertainment industry, have a vocal preference for this.
"Xiangzi, do you think the author is a man or a woman, old or young?" This is no longer a new topic, and now countless people in Xiangjiang are discussing it after dinner.
As a person who grew up in Hong Kong and is a figure in the entertainment industry, Wang Jing naturally has his own views on this.
After saying that there wasn't much time left, the food and wine were quickly served.
Li Mubai kept smiling and listening to the conversation between the two people without interrupting. He seemed to understand some of Guo Shishi's little thoughts, but he did not reveal them.
Originally, he was thinking about finding an opportunity to get in touch with people in the entertainment industry, but he didn't expect to meet this great director directly. Although Wang Jing is not a great director now, he has
A father who is envied by many people. This level of relationship alone is enough to make Li Mubai have more ideas.
"Actually, I think it's nothing. It's just a novel, a little different."
When the meal was about to end, Li Mubai suddenly took over what Guo Shishi said, put down his chopsticks disapprovingly, and drank a glass of boiled water.
"Mr. Li also read "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty"?" If it weren't for Guo Shishi sitting next to him, Wang Jing would have poured the tea in the cup on Li Mubai, a mainland boy who has never seen the world.
"Actually..." Guo Shishi originally wanted to push Li Mubai out, but she didn't discuss it with Li Mubai before. When she saw that there was no objection in Li Mubai's eyes, she took back her elongated voice.
He lowered his voice mysteriously and said: "I don't know how other people will comment on this book, but he is absolutely the most qualified, bar none."
"Miss Shishi, please stop being funny here, okay? Who is this mainland friend of yours? You don't think he is the author of this novel, do you?" Wang Jing's eyes widened. This person from the Guo family
The eldest lady should not be the kind of person who takes aim at nothing. How could she say such a thing?
Especially when he saw Guo Shishi's playful smile and affirmative eyes, Wang Jing felt as if he had already guessed the answer.
"If Mr. Wang has time, why don't you come and sit at my house for a while." Before Guo Shishi could answer, Li Mubai said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, I have time." Wang Jing is also a very smart person. After Li Mubai said these words, he immediately understood that this person did not want to expose his identity.
Originally, it was agreed that this meal was Li Mubai's treat, but with Wang Jing's participation, Li Mubai did not continue to fight for it, otherwise it would appear pretentious.
It didn't take long for the three of them to return to the house Li Mubai rented.
"Mr. Wang, do you like this script?" Li Mubai opened the drawer and took out a manuscript.
This is a script he wrote while writing "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty". After getting to know each other these days, he found that after having another memory, many things have changed. I don't know about this little butterfly.
The wings would have little impact, but Li Mubai still wanted to give it a try.
"You can also write scripts?" Before Wang Jing could be surprised, Guo Shishi looked at Li Mubai like a monster. When she saw the calmness in Li Mubai's eyes, she didn't know how to describe her mood at this time.
What other trump cards does this guy have?
She knew that Li Mubai was a small official in the mainland, and his official reputation and prestige were very high. Although the place he managed was small, the people there supported him very much. More importantly, this guy was still the same person.
One of the bosses of Longteng Group, although mineral water is not a rare thing in Xiangjiang, in mainland China, it is very, very rare to have such experience.
But it wasn't until today that Guo Shishi knew that the author of the popular novel was Li Mubai, which had already shocked her. But now, this guy actually came up with another script, which is too incomprehensible!
Maybe this guy is just playing for fun, and people who write novels may not necessarily be able to write scripts.
Guo Shishi had no choice but to comfort herself like this, but when her eyes stopped on Wang Jing again, she found that Wang Jing not only had wide eyes, but also had a big mouth. The most ridiculous thing is that this Xiang Jing
Zai showed a bright smile from time to time.
"Mr. Li, this script is so exciting!" When Wang Jing finished reading the last word, he swore that he had never seen such a funny script.
It was precisely because of this that he felt a little hot on his face. Just a short time ago, he had a lot of disdain for this mainland boy. However, at this time, he discovered that the funniest person was himself.
The person who can write such a script is definitely a genius!
"You can call me Mu Bai, or you can call me Xiao Bai. My friends all call me that." Li Mubai smiled, although during the meal, Wang Jing's eyes showed disdain.
He could understand this situation. The environment was different, and it was already very difficult for Wang Jing not to say unpleasant words. The most important thing was that this guy was not so hypocritical, which gave Li Mubai the idea of making friends.
"Okay, then I'll call you Mu Bai. It seems that you are not older than me. Everyone likes to call me Xiangzi." Wang Jing is also a person with a true temperament, and he also doesn't like to play tricks.
set.
"I'm asking you to call me Brother Mubai. I think you're not just trying to make me jealous when you show this to me, right?" Although Wang Jing had finished reading the script, he did not put it on the table.
"I wonder how much it costs to film such a book?" Of course Li Mubai had no intention of letting Wang Jing take a look, but after all, he was not omnipotent and had never been a director, but he was willing to use the advantage of his other memory.
, open a window here and give yourself one more choice and more accumulation.
As a professional director, although he has not directed too many movies yet, Li Mubai's question is not difficult for him. After pondering for a moment, Wang Jing gave the answer: "About 4 million Hong Kong dollars."
"
"I would like to invite Director Wang to personally direct this movie." After hearing this offer, Li Mubai did not hesitate. Although he did not know much about this industry, he also knew that making movies is definitely a money-burning thing, but the profits
It is also very amazing. However, in order to have a more intuitive understanding, Li Mubai added: "But I have a condition, that is, during the filming process, I hope to have close contact and learn from it."
"There is absolutely no problem with this." Wang Jing agreed to Li Mubai's request without even thinking about it, but he was still a little confused mentally, so he asked: "Brother Mubai, are you planning to invest solely in the filming, or find someone to join a joint venture?
"
Li Mubai had really thought about this issue. Before, he had planned to use Yindu's banner. But as he learned more about the situation in Xiangjiang, he felt that this was not a very good idea.
The current film industry in Xiangjiang has entered a relatively embarrassing period. In addition to Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers, there are many small film companies that have sprung up now. However, the theater chain in Xiangjiang is limited, except for Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest.
In addition to the two giants, there is also a gold cinema chain that can be regarded as a tripartite. There are also a few other scattered cinema chains, but they are not up to the level.
Since he wanted to develop, Li Mubai needed to find a way that was most beneficial to him, so as to maximize his own interests. However, at the stage when he was not recognized by others, Li Mubai felt that setting up a film and television company was not the best choice.
Suddenly, a line popped up in Li Mubai's mind: What is lacking most in the 21st century is talent!
It is in Li Mubai's interests best to attract talents. No matter how many theater chains compete or how many film and television companies are established, as long as he has people and blockbuster films, he believes that any company can
All theater chains will be willing to cooperate.
With this idea in mind, Li Mubai made a decision, and he was ready to test the waters first.
"Xiangzai, I wonder which theater will this film be released in?" Li Mubai did not answer Wang Jing's question directly, but tested his strength.
Although he has another memory, it is not omnipotent, and he does not know enough about this circle in Xiangjiang. The only thing he can rely on now is the fat man in front of him who looks a bit wretched.
