Although Zhang Yan is used to hearing flattery and praise, she has long been immune to some kind words. However, when she heard Ye Ming praise her as "elegant and beautiful" and said that she should use such high-end words as "royal dignity" Although the perfume was used to complement each other, there was still a shy look on his face. He glanced at Ye Ming with a charming look and said with a smile: "Mr. Ye, you must have put honey on your lips today. What you said is so sweet." , it sounds so beautiful, no wonder that Chu Chu bastard is fascinated by you. Do you say such sweet words every day as long as you are with her?"
Ye Ming shook his head and said with a smile: "To tell you the truth: I have never said anything like this to Chu Chu. If you don't believe it, you can ask her. When she and I are together, we spend most of our time talking to each other. Ridicule, sarcasm, she always calls me country bumpkin and rarely changes the title, hahaha,"
There was a look of envy in Zhang Yan's eyes, she slapped her mouth, and said: "As the saying goes: Hitting means kissing, scolding means loving. It seems that you and Chu Youhao have a deep relationship, and they have reached the point of flirting. It’s so bad, this damn girl, she’s still hiding it from me.”
Seeing that she had misunderstood, Ye Ming couldn't explain anything further, so he had to smile bitterly and rub his palms together noncommittally.
While drinking, Ye Ming saw that although Zhang Yan kept smiling, there always seemed to be a touch of sadness between her eyebrows, as if she had been thinking about something important and seemed a little absent-minded. Sometimes, he picked up the wine glass and made a toast. She didn't even respond. It wasn't until he repeated it that she came back to her senses as if she was frightened.
Ye Ming remembered that she said she wanted to invest in a movie, and asked: "Ms. Zhang, you are already famous now, why do you still want to invest in your own movie? It's very risky. Besides, you are already famous." , with your current acting skills and fame, you shouldn’t have to worry about not getting roles as an actor, and the pay should be pretty decent, so why would you take that risk?”
Zhang Yan smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Ye, you are Chu Chu's boyfriend. I won't hide it from you: you should have heard of this entertainment industry. It is a notorious place that hides evil and evil. You should have seen the gossip about me on the Internet and in the news media. There are all kinds of distorted reports that are immoral and harmful to people. Some people actually say that I got to the position by following the unspoken rules of the director, and some people spread rumors about me. I attended the infamous so-called banquet held in a seaside city not long ago, and it was said that I made millions of dollars in three nights. Only I know these rumors are nonsense, but there is no way to prove them. It's better if you just ignore this kind of thing. The more you try to argue, the more it will spread and the more harm you will do to yourself."
Ye Ming nodded and said: "That's true, but does it have any necessary connection with your decision to invest in a movie?"
"Of course there is a connection. In fact, in the entertainment industry, unspoken rules do exist. I have acted in several movies since my debut. Some film directors, investors, and producers just want to take advantage of actresses. If I hadn't adhered to my principles, I would have been lurked several times. Because of this, although I starred in several movies that were both well-received and box-office hits, the remuneration paid to me by investors was not high. , sometimes the salary for acting in a movie is not as good as that of second-tier actresses or supporting actors. Why, just because I don’t agree to the unreasonable demands of those investors or directors, they cut my salary and lower my price. , if I didn’t accept their price, they threatened to change the actor. Therefore, many people thought that I must have made a lot of money by starring in a few very popular movies. In fact, I am dumb and eat coptis. "It's hard to say,"
At this point, she glanced at Ye Ming and said, "Now you know why I want to invest in making movies myself, right?"
Ye Ming nodded and said: "I understand a little bit: you want to raise funds by yourself, form your own team, star by yourself, and make a good movie without being coerced and exploited by those investors and directors, and you can I want to use this to create my own business, am I right?"
Zhang Yan looked at him appreciatively, nodded and said: "Yes, that's my idea. At present, I have found a good script and contacted a director with a relatively upright character and strong ability. In addition, I have also I have secured some investment, but the current investment gap is still relatively large. We once made a budget. To complete the filming of this film, we need 30 million yuan in funds. At present, the investment I have attracted is 10 million yuan. , I have a deposit of 6 million yuan, and the director promised to invest 4 million yuan, which is exactly 20 million yuan, and there is still a shortfall of 10 million yuan, so these days I am trying to attract big bosses to invest. A few days ago, I My agent, Ms. He, contacted me with a coal boss in her hometown. Ms. He said: The coal boss admired me very much, and his family was also very rich. An investment of 10 million was just a drop in the bucket for him. However, he proposed A small request: He wants me to accompany him for a drink tonight at Xifeng Restaurant. If he enjoys the drink tonight, he will write a check on the spot."
When Ye Ming heard this, he frowned and said: "Miss Zhang, when you say this, I feel a little bit wrong. If you invest, you invest. This is a matter of mutual benefit. I must have a drink with him." Why? I heard that many rich people who became rich overnight through mining have relatively low quality and are a bit unkind. I am afraid that this coal boss made such a request with some bad intentions. Of course, this is just a speculation on my part. Maybe That boss just admires you and wants to have a few drinks with you so that he can have some bragging rights after returning to their hometown. This possibility also exists,"
Zhang Yan nodded and said: "I, like you, have always had this worry, because Ms. He told me that the coal boss made it clear that Ms. He could not follow me when drinking, so I was very suspicious of his motives. The reason why I asked you to be at my disposal at any time is because Chuchu told me: Not only are you good at literature, but you are also good at martial arts. So, tonight I want you to pretend to be my driver and accompany me to drink. ,I don’t know how you drink,”
Ye Ming laughed and said: "My drinking capacity is not bad, I can handle it with one or two people, but I'm a little strange: for such a big star, why don't you hire one or two bodyguards? I see many female celebrities go out, It is the bodyguards who clear the way, and they are more powerful than the national leaders. If you also hire bodyguards, don’t you need to worry about being bullied by someone?"
