"I have no problem." Zhang Hehuan picked up the wine glass and drank it with Guo Kaixuan.

Li Ming was just hearing that he had the intention of investing, but suddenly he stopped mentioning it, and finally couldn't help asking: "You just said that this movie still has hope of making a profit?"

Guo Kaixuan quietly kicked Zhang Hehuan again. As a friend and a partner in career, he didn't want Zhang Hehuan to jump into this quagmire. "Taiping Wheel" is a bottomless pit. The current scale of the new star field may not be able to fill the bottomless pit.

Both the company and Zhang Hehuan are in an upward period, so there is no need to take on the mess of "Taiping Wheel". Many people in the industry are not optimistic about "Taiping Wheel", and some even say that the name of this movie is unlucky.

Zhang Hehuan said: "I am willing to participate in the creation of this movie, and there is no problem with investment."

The two brothers of the Guo family looked at each other and they regretted that Zhang Hehuan and Li Ming met. They really don’t understand why Zhang Hehuan wanted to invest? Even though Guo Kaige is an investor in "Taiping Wheel", he doesn’t want Zhang Hehuan to take risks on this project.

Li Ming was excited: "You mean... are you willing to invest?"

Zhang Hehuan said: "Since they are not outsiders, I'd better talk about my conditions first. I can help you finish this movie and ensure profitability, but my prerequisite is that you will transfer the rights to remake 100 classic Hong Kong films by Xiaoma Pictures to me."

Only then did Li Ming understand that Zhang Hehuan had a crush on the copyright he bought in the past. In fact, it was normal to think about it. He didn’t have much deep friendship with him. Why should Zhang Hehuan help him?

Li Ming said: "No problem. I bought the copyrights for a while, and it is useless to keep them. If you are interested, I will transfer them all to you."

Zhang Hehuan corrected: "It's a gift..."

Li Ming nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give it to you."

Guo Kaixuan realized that he was worried about Zhang Hehuan at this moment. If this guy had a root and had a good tail than a monkey, he would not have to worry about him at all, and he would not suffer any loss.

Guo Kaige also knew that Zhang Hehuan did not help Li Ming out of the predicament in vain, but instead took a fancy to the remake of the 100 classic Hong Kong films he had. At that time, Li Ming spent 50 million on this.

Zhang Hehuan said: "The project of "Taiping Wheel" is very big. You have invested 260 million yuan. I'm involved now and the subsequent investment will be at least 150 million yuan. Although I agree, Director Wu still needs to communicate well. I will express my opinions first. First, I don't agree with dividing the movie into two parts, because it is more risky. There is no need for the line between Huang Xiaoming and Song Huiqiao, and it must be cut off. Although Zhang Ziyi is a female star, she can't afford the box office like David Tong."

Li Ming thought to himself that there were six people in the starring role, and you have denied two pairs now."

Zhang Hehuan said: "Actually, the people you selected six starring actors are not very popular, and they can't afford the box office. Director Wu has average influence in the mainland. His highest box office work should be "Red Cliff", but "Red Cliff" has a bad reputation, which has affected Director Wu's position in the hearts of the audience."

Guo Kaige said: "You won't even want to replace Director Wu, right?"

Zhang Hehuan shook her head and said, "The director will not change, and the starring actors Kim Seong-taker and Nagano Yami will not change. Cut off the line between Huang Xiaoming and Song Hye-kyo, and replace Zhang Ziyi and Tong David. I can play the role of Tong David. As for Zhang Ziyi's role, I plan to invite Jun Zhixian to come over."

Li Ming's eyes lit up. Zhang Hehuan + Quan Zhixian can be said to be one of the hottest screen couples in Asia now. "You From the Star" is very popular to sweep the Asian screen. The two of them are willing to join the crew, so it can be said that the box office of "Taiping Wheel" is guaranteed.

Guo Kaixuan said: "You are addicted to playing with Quan Zhixian." He felt that Zhang Hehuan was a bit fake for public service, but it was difficult to expose him in front of outsiders.

Zhang Hehuan said: "Quan Zhixian is suitable for this role. Of course, it is just my personal idea now, and it must be approved by Director Wu."

Guo Kaige said: "Although Quan Zhixian has many fans, her status is not as good as Zhang Ziyi, right?"

Zhang Hehuan said: "The reason for using her is not only because she has good acting skills and fits Yu Zhen's image in the movie, but also has a more important reason. She has no bad information." He looked at Li Ming and said: "If Mr. Li thinks that my conditions are harsh, he can refuse to cooperate. Even if the cooperation fails, we are still friends, don't you think so?"

Li Ming said: "I will arrange for Director Wu to meet you as soon as possible."

After the dinner, Guo Kaixuan called Zhang Hehuan to go for a barbecue. Zhang Hehuan had been in Seoul for so many days, but she was actually thinking about this.

The two brothers were squirting skewers while drinking beer. Guo Kaixuan said, "I'm sorry, I'm forced to do it too. It's my brother who insisted on coming over to pick up the plane."

Zhang Hehuan laughed and said, "It's a blessing, not a disaster, it's a disaster, they can't escape it. They are trying to see me, but they can't escape it."

Guo Kaixuan followed him for a beer, then continued two more, looking at Zhang Hehuan's eyes and said, "Brother, are you really planning to vote for "Taiping Wheel"?"

Zhang Hehuan said: "What are your opinions?"

Guo Kaixuan said: "If it were me, I would definitely stay away from it. You have also heard that this movie is not enough for 400 million yuan. The old director always wants to make an epic masterpiece comparable to "Titanic", but he is not good at this. If "Red Cliff" had not been popular at the box office of neon, it would have lost money. Although "Taiping Wheel" is under the guise of family and national hatred, it is still a disaster film in the final analysis."

Zhang Hehuan laughed and said, "I usually think you are unreliable, but I am right in this way. "Taiping Wheel" is a disaster film. Director Wu also has a strong personal style, but he is now in the confusion of creation. A movie has created three couples, each of which is allocated forty minutes, and two hours passed in love and talk about love."

Guo Kaixuan said: "Tell me a secret. Are you attracted by the remake of the hundreds of classic Hong Kong films in Li Ming's hands?"

"Or what? I'll take this mess without any benefit?"

Guo Kaixuan said: "I really want to spend money to buy it back. Li Ming seemed to spend 50 million at the beginning. In his current situation, I guess he would sell it for 30 million. If you want to drink milk, you don't have to buy a cow to raise it, right?"

Zhang Hehuan laughed: "There are many good movies in the hundreds of classics, including the true hero series, the best partner series, Shushan, Longmen Inn, Huang Feihong, Fang Shiyu, any one of them is not the first IP."

Guo Kaixuan said: "Times have changed. Now there are still people watching Jianghu movies and martial arts movies? Anyway, everyone thinks that Li Ming has bought a lot of garbage. In fact, he bought these remake rights to create momentum for the listing. I don't think he plans to remake the classics at all. He always says he wants to remake the classics again, but in fact he is using these outdated old IPs to make money."

Zhang Hehuan didn't argue with him: "The movie "Taiping Wheel" has support for special effects and technology. There are many problems and investors interfere too much. Director Wu is in the low point of his creation. He is not good at shooting love themes. Of course, I will not take over this project easily."

Guo Kaixuan said: "You mean..."

Things in the world are unpredictable, and the fate of some people is destined to be unchanged. Zhang Hehuan received a call from Guo Kaige before she got up the next morning, but Li Ming had a heart attack this morning and there were no people on the way to the hospital.

Guo Kaige was also helpless. He had already made an appointment with Director Wu to meet at Li Ming's company this morning. Who had ever thought of such a thing?

Zhang Hehuan and Li Ming have no close relationships, that is, they had a meal last night, and Li Ming did not drink alcohol last night, otherwise they would have to bear some responsibility for drinking together.

On the phone, Guo Kaige told Zhang Hehuan that Li Ming's sudden death left a mess. He is a film and television capital player. The company has developed so fast in recent years and mainly relies on financing. He originally had high hopes for the movie "Taiping Wheel", but after filming, he discovered that "Taiping Wheel" not only could not change the company's destiny, but would push the company into a bottomless abyss.

The goal of listing within the scheduled period was not achieved, and "Taiping Round" was seriously overspending, which put Li Ming under unprecedented pressure. Recently, he has faced many debt crises and is trying every means to raise funds.

As soon as the news of Li Ming's death came out, all the investors and creditors ran to their house. According to reliable news, Li Ming left a huge debt of 630 million yuan.

Zhang Hehuan was very clear about this matter. After Li Ming's death, his wife was caught in a joint debt lawsuit that caused a sensation across the country. Then, there was another financial dispute and power dispute within Xiaoma. In just three years, a company worth nearly 4 billion was broken into pieces, and eventually it was auctioned by the court, with the auction reserve price of only 360 million.

Of course, this is all a story later. Zhang Hehuan had no intention of saving this company that had snowballed through financing leverage.

Zhang Hehuan remembers that it is the copyright of Xiaoma Film and Television's remake. As of now, Li Ming's wife may need 200 million to temporarily get rid of the debt crisis. Zhang Hehuan asked Guo Kaige to arrange it, and he wanted to meet Li Ming's wife Jin Yan and discuss the remake of 100 classic Hong Kong films.

Guo Kaige was on the way to Li Ming's house, so he asked the driver to go to the hotel where Zhang Hehuan was staying to pick him up.

When the car arrived at the hotel, Zhang Hehuan was already waiting at the gate.

After getting on the bus, Guo Kaige said: "Go to Xiaoma Pictures."

Zhang Hehuan said: "Don't you go to home?"

Guo Kaige said: "Jin Yan went to the company and held an emergency meeting."

Compared with Li Ming's funeral, the debt crisis faced by Xiaoma Pictures is a big deal.

Zhang Hehuan said: "Do you still have hope of getting back your 50 million investment?"
