July 28, evening.

Purple Jade Villa, Cao Mansion.

Zeng Li told Cao Jun that she had received a new drama a few days ago - "Suffering", in which she played the female lead Yao Zihan, and she liked the script very much.

Moreover, this drama will start shooting the day after tomorrow, and I would like to seek Cao Jun’s opinion on whether he should take on this drama.

Because after Zeng Li took the role of "Hurt", she might not be able to go to the crew of "A Little Thing About First Love" and guest star as a dance teacher.

When Cao Jun learned about this, not only did he not object, but he also supported her in taking over the drama "Hurt" and did not ask her to help him play the third female lead in "A Little Thing About First Love".

Although "Hurt" is a TV series, she is still the leading female lead, much better than the third female lead in the movie.

This time it was Zeng Li's turn to feel embarrassed, because at first, she was the one who said she would help Cao Jun make a guest appearance, but now she changed her mind temporarily and felt very sorry for Cao Jun.

However, Cao Jun said generously: "Li Mei, just feel free to act. You can only play a supporting actress in my movie, and it's still not interesting."

"If you want to help me, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Zeng Li was still a little worried, fearing that Cao Jun would be unhappy, so he asked dubiously: "Are you really not angry?"

Cao Jun was angry and funny and said: "We have been together for so long, do you think I am such a stingy man?"

Zeng Li denied with a smile: "No, you are not stingy at all."

"That's right, why do you think so much?"

After chatting for a while, Cao Jun and Zeng Li took the expressway and drove for a full hour before turning off the engine.

After getting off the car, Zeng went to the bathroom to take a shower, while Cao Jun lit a cigarette and went to the balcony to take a breath and enjoy the night breeze.

Cao Jun was thinking that since Li Mei was no longer available, another actor would have to be cast for the role of dance teacher.

After thinking for a moment, Cao Jun thought of Shun Li because he heard Shun Li say that she learned to dance before her.

Anyone who knows Hayato knows that her only hobby is dancing, and she is especially good at folk dance. In terms of body proportions and body softness, she must have some background in dance.

After all, Hayato's temperament is intellectual, elegant, gentle, and the temperament and heritage of a dancing girl can still be seen.

Therefore, the role of dance teacher is very suitable for her.

Cao Jun just didn't know that Huang Leitong did not agree to release him.

The next day, morning.

Zeng left Beijing and went to Shanghai to prepare for the filming of the drama "Suffering".

That afternoon.

Cao Jun invited He Juan, Huang Lei and his wife to Ziyu Villa as guests.

Huang Lei came to Cao Jun's house for the first time. After seeing Cao Jun's mansion, he was greatly stimulated. It was much larger than his villa.

Although Huang Lei is not short of money, he can only earn two to three million at most a year. Under normal circumstances, it may be just over one million.

Because these days, most well-known TV actors only earn two to three million a year, or even less.

Moreover, because Huang Lei is still a teacher at the Beijing Film Academy, he doesn't have much time to take on roles, and his income is also very limited.

Seeing the mansion of Cao Jun's family, Huang Lei also had mixed feelings in his heart.

Because Huang Lei knew very well that according to the current house price in the capital, this large villa of Cao Jun's family would cost at least 50 million or more.

What does 50 million mean in 2008?

Huang Lei suddenly felt desperate. He was already thirty-six years old, close to the age of Buhuo. If nothing else happened, he might not be able to make that much money in his life...

He Yan also felt very envious. He was so envious that he could live in such a big house in the capital.

However, He Yan is also very lucky that he also bought a house of more than 200 square meters before the housing prices in Beijing soared.

I think back then, when the house price in the third ring road in Beijing was still 3,000 yuan per square meter, Li Xiang dragged He Yan to buy a house.

At that time, He Jiong was hesitant because he didn’t have much money, so Li Xiang said to him: “Listen to me and just buy it!”

So, He Juan spent all his savings and decided to take a gamble. As a result, housing prices skyrocketed. In addition, this year was the year of the Olympic Games, and the price of a room in Beijing increased to 12,000 yuan per square meter, which was four times the price at that time.

If He Jiong buys it now, the house he lives in now may cost more than 2 million.

Regarding Cao Jun's big house in Ziyu Villa, He Juan and Huang Lei had similar thoughts. Just take a look and don't think you can afford it.

In contrast, Falcon Li didn't feel much at all, because she had already been to Ziyu Villa twice before.

7 o'clock sharp.

A sumptuous feast of wine and food has been placed on the dining table.

"cheers!"

After taking two bites of the food, the three of them raised their wine glasses in unison and drank the white wine in the glass.

Hayato didn't drink, so she was quietly watching the three of them drinking and chatting.

As we chatted, we talked about Cao Jun's new movie "A Little Thing About First Love".

Huang Lei asked curiously: "Cao Jun, how much did you invest in this movie?"

Cao Jun smiled and replied: "The cost is small, around 20 million. I'm not sure yet. We won't know if it's enough until we film it."

In fact, Cao Jun's goal is to control the cost of the movie "A Little Thing About First Love" within 15 million.

Huang Lei then asked: "Who invested the money? Is it your Huayi Company or yourself?"

Cao Jun said calmly: "Director Huang invested 5 million, and I also invested."

Hearing Cao Jun's answer, Huang Lei's eyes suddenly lit up and asked: "Huang Zhongjun also voted?"

Cao Jun nodded: "Yes, Director Huang also voted for him,"

Huang Lei said bluntly: "Yes, Huang Zhongjun voted for it, which shows that he has great confidence in your movie."

Cao Jun smiled and asked: "What's wrong, Mr. Huang, are you also interested in this movie?"

Huang Lei laughed and laughed at himself: "Forget it, you can easily invest five to ten million, but I can afford to invest anywhere."

Cao Jun immediately replied: "Teacher Huang, what's the point? If you are interested, you can invest one or two million for fun. What if you make a profit?"

Hearing what Cao Jun said, Huang Lei was a little tempted. If you asked him to invest 5 million like Huang Zhongjun did, he would definitely not be willing to do so for fear of losing money, but he could still afford to lose 1 million or 2 million.

Moreover, Huang Lei also knew that Cao Jun had invested in the movie "Crazy Stone" before and made millions from this movie. He still trusted Cao Jun's business vision.

In addition, Huang Lei really wanted to make some investments and make more money.

After thinking deeply, Huang Lei said readily: "Okay, if you can vote for 2 million, then I will give you 2 million to play with you."

Cao Jun smiled and joked: "Teacher Huang, you said you want to invest, how can I say no?"

After all, it was his first time directing a film, and Cao Jun wasn't too sure. Huang Lei investing some money could reduce his burden.

Because there are many factors that affect a movie’s box office. It doesn’t mean that a movie is well shot, but it must have a high box office. Sometimes it is necessary to pay attention to the right time, place and people, and all three are indispensable.

However, Cao Jun still has some confidence in his popularity, and the script of "A Little Thing About First Love" is indeed pretty good.

In Cao Jun's opinion, the box office of the movie "A Little Thing About First Love", even if it cannot counterattack as crazy as "Crazy Stone", should still be too bad, at least it should be able to return to its original score.

While drinking and dining with Huang Lei this time, Cao Jun also took advantage of his drunkenness and mentioned the role of the dance teacher in the movie and wanted to invite Falcon Li to play the role.

Suddenly being cueed by Cao Jun, Xian Li was a little bit dumbfounded, but she was also looking forward to having the opportunity to cooperate with Cao Jun.

Huang Lei was a little reluctant, but in front of Cao Jun and He Yan, he pretended to be very generous and said: "Cao Jun, you have to ask your sister Li about this matter. If your sister Li agrees, then take it. If your sister Li agrees, then I will accept it."

If you don’t agree, then don’t answer, I’ll listen to her.”

Cao Jun asked Shun Li: "Sister Li, Teacher Huang said that he listens to you, are you interested in playing a role?"

Shun Li was a little flustered by Cao Jun, so she pretended to be calm and asked: "What kind of role? Is it the dance teacher you just mentioned?"

Cao Jun smiled and nodded: "Yes, she is a dance teacher. In the movie, she is the third female lead. There are not too many scenes. It is very easy. It should be completed in a few days."

Shen Li wanted to agree in her heart, but she was afraid that her husband Huang Lei would be suspicious, so she smiled and replied: "I have to go back and discuss it with your teacher Huang before I can tell you the decision."

Shun Li's answer made Huang Lei feel very proud, and he said with a smile: "Cao Jun, let's go back and discuss it, and then we will sue you for the result."
Chapter completed!
