Two hundred and forty Sorry, I never watch bad movies!
August 12th, morning.
Doug Western Restaurant!
"Mr. Shen, Miss Ye, please come inside!"
Liu Jin, the manager of Daoge Western Restaurant, has a very respectful professional smile on his face.
However, after welcoming the two of them to the second floor of the restaurant, a strange light shone in his eyes.
Originally, not many people came to eat Western food in the early morning, and these two people also have extraordinary significance for the arrival of Daoge Western Restaurant.
It is sad to think back to the time when the Shunde Group Zhang Deshun's beating incident caused an uproar on the Internet. In the end, he had to issue a public apology to calm the anger of shareholders.
One of the protagonists of that incident was the handsome young man in front of Liu Jin at this moment.
After not seeing each other for several months, he is still as charming as ever.
Shen Mu today has a somewhat different temperament from Shen Mu a few months ago.
Anyway, Liu Jin felt that he couldn't afford to offend him, so it was better to be more respectful.
“As expected, there weren’t many people around this morning, but it was quite quiet!”
As Shen Mu went upstairs, he smiled at Ye Lan next to him. The reason why he came here was naturally because he had an appointment with someone, and the other party's identity was somewhat special.
“There’s really no one around this morning!”
Liu Jin raised his hand and looked at the time on his watch. He didn't complain, he just explained politely.
Then he led the man and woman to a certain location.
"Looks like we got here early!"
Shen Mu also looked at the time. In fact, there were only ten minutes left before the scheduled nine o'clock. He never liked being late, so he arrived early.
"Hey, maybe the vice president did it on purpose!"
Ye Lan thought about the person who invited the two of them here, and couldn't help but laugh strangely.
But she didn't pay too much attention to it. In fact, it was true that they arrived ten minutes early. As long as the other party did not exceed nine o'clock, it was not considered a neglect.
"Manager Liu, give each of us a glass of water first. As for other things, we will order them when everyone arrives!"
Ye Lan sent Liu Jin away with ease, then turned to look at Shen Mu, wanting to see if there was anything unnatural on his face.
Just a moment later, Ye Lan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Because she didn't detect even a hint of unhappiness or anger on Shen Mu's face.
"Shen Mu, have you read all those things on the Internet?"
Ye Lan finally couldn't help but asked.
She also thought that Shen Mu woke up early in the morning and didn't have time to go online, so she didn't know about the so-called "data fraud" incident.
But she, Ye Lan, had to grab her phone as soon as she opened her eyes. When she woke up this morning, she was really shocked.
Apparently at 12 o'clock yesterday, "I Am the God of Medicine" counterattacked at the box office. Seeing that the direction of the wind has changed, if this continues, "Dawn" will not have much power to fight back.
The three people in the apartment at that time all fell asleep contentedly after reading the data and online reviews, and had several sweet dreams.
I didn't expect that when I woke up, public opinion would become like this.
In addition to those indignant netizens, the director of "Love in the Sky" Jia Wenxuan seemed to have been greatly wronged.
"Of course I did, they're just a bunch of clowns, don't pay attention to them!"
Just when Ye Lan finished speaking, Shen Mu had already made a casual interface and heard him say: "I have already contacted Vice President Sun of Hengzhen Cinema, he will handle it!"
"That's right, in the face of facts, any so-called evidence will be invisible!"
Ye Lan was relieved at this time, but there was still a trace of anger on her face. She said angrily: "But looking at Jia Wenxuan jumping up and down, I'm really unhappy!"
"Tell me, is this incident caused by Wantai Entertainment again?"
Ye Lan's beautiful eyes turned and suddenly thought of a possibility.
After all, that is Shen Mu's biggest enemy, and it can also be said to be Shen Mu's only big enemy in the entertainment industry.
"Whether that is true or not, I'll tell you later if I ask the vice president?"
Naturally, Shen Mu couldn't answer Ye Lan's question, and just when he finished speaking, his eyes had turned to the stairs, with a strange look on his face.
Because what appeared at the stairs was not one figure, but two.
One of them was about forty years old and had the aura of a superior person.
As for the other one, he was a young man under thirty years old, wearing a pair of rimless glasses. He looked elegant and had the temperament of an artist.
"Ouch, I'm so sorry for making Director Shen and Ye Lan wait for so long. I'll punish myself with three drinks later!"
Yu Anmin, the vice president of Wantai Cinema, seems to be a very knowledgeable person at first glance, and he is also very familiar with some rules at the wine table. He has a strong Jianghu air as soon as he opens his mouth.
"Mr. Yu, this is a Western restaurant!"
Ye Lan sat there and couldn't help but remind him, which immediately made Yu Anmin look a little embarrassed.
After all, there is a difference between a Chinese restaurant and a Western restaurant. Although Doug's Western Restaurant also has a lot of red wine, it is a bit inappropriate for you to say that you have to punish yourself with three glasses of wine at the beginning.
"Mr. Yu, please come here at the right time. You are really punctual!"
Shen Mu stood up and shook Yu Anmin's outstretched hand, but couldn't tell whether the words coming out of his mouth were polite or sarcastic?
At this moment, the hour hand is exactly pointing to nine o'clock. In a sense, every second is exactly right.
Shen Mu and Ye Lan both felt inferior to this kind of stuck ability.
But today it was Yu Anmin's appointment with them. Although this guy was not late, if he really wanted to respect others, he should have arrived early. At least Shen Mu and Ye Lan didn't have to order anything themselves.
"This Yu Anmin is weird!"
Thinking of Yu Anmin's polite and even humble attitude when he called yesterday, Shen Mu and Ye Lan couldn't help but look at each other, always feeling that this guy had something to rely on.
"Director Shen, Miss Ye, let me introduce to you. This is Director Jia Wenxuan. Speaking of which, he is still traveling with Director Shen. They can't be enemies, right?"
Yu Anmin didn't pay attention to the underlying meaning of Shen Mu's words, but directly introduced the man with glasses next to him, and then made a small joke.
"He is Jia Wenxuan, the director of "Love in the Sky"?"
Ye Lan's face was full of disbelief. They were discussing Jia Wenxuan just now. How come in the blink of an eye, this bad movie director appeared directly in front of him?
"Haha, it seems that Director Shen and Miss Ye are indeed very familiar with my "Love in the Sky"!"
Jia Wenxuan pretended to be very dignified, but when he said these pointed words, it showed that he was a little out of breath, and everyone could hear the sarcasm in it.
To be honest, Jia Wenxuan came today with resentment. In his heart, he believed that Shen Mu's "I Am the God of Medicine" stole the box office of "Love in the Sky".
Otherwise, how could the box office of "I Am the God of Medicine" be so high, and how could the box office of "Love in the Sky" reach over 10 million after it was released for more than ten days?
Jia Wenxuan thought in his mind that if he could give himself all the nearly 100 million box office of "I Am the God of Medicine" in two days, he would be able to change his destiny. This would be his opportunity.
"Sorry, I never watch bad movies!"
Ye Lan's mouth was naturally very powerful, so she curled her lips and replied.
She originally disliked this sanctimonious guy, but now that he appeared in front of her and was so arrogant, how could she not fight back?
"puff!"
Hearing Ye Lan's words, Shen Mu, who was drinking water, almost spit out a mouthful of water. At the same time, he glanced at Jia Wenxuan in silence.
You guy, it’s not good to offend anyone. You dare to provoke Miss Ye, who is sharp-tongued. Isn’t this unpleasant?
"you……"
Jia Wenxuan's anger was really extraordinary. He directly raised his hand and pointed at Ye Lan. For a moment, he didn't know what to say, and his whole body was shaking with anger.
This self-proclaimed director with deep knowledge broke through Ye Lan's defense with just one sentence.
As an artist, has Jia Wenxuan ever seen such a tough woman?
The term "bad movie" is indeed a label given to Jia Wenxuan by netizens in recent years.
After all, Jia Wenxuan has made quite a few movies, but none of them have a box office of over 100 million. If this continues, he may not even have the nerve to be in the movie industry.
Ye Lan actually knows how to hit people without slapping them in the face, and scold people without exposing their shortcomings. But it was you, Jia Wenxuan, who mocked me first, so don’t blame me for being rude.
"Director Jia, please be patient and sit down and drink a glass of water first!"
Seeing that Jia Wenxuan was a little unable to get off the stage, Yu Anmin on the side raised his arm and patted the former's shoulder gently. The words in his mouth finally made Jia Wenxuan sit down.
"Ahem!"
But his chest was still heaving slightly, and he was obviously furious. The sip of water he just drank poured into his trachea, causing him to cough violently.
"Director Jia, are you okay?"
Seeing Jia Wenxuan's face that was a little red due to coughing, Shen Mu expressed concern with concern.
Just saying this almost made Jia Wenxuan unable to take a breath.
"Director Shen, Miss Ye, let's talk about business first!"
Yu Anmin frowned and glanced at Jia Wenxuan with some dissatisfaction, even hating that iron could not become steel.
If it weren't for some reasons, I wouldn't have brought this guy here today who has failed to achieve anything but failed.
Originally, I wanted to put some pressure on Shen Mu and Ye Lan in terms of momentum, but I didn't expect that this idiot Jia Wenxuan would be silenced by the other party in just a few words.
As a result, their side was undoubtedly at a disadvantage in terms of momentum.
This may have a crucial impact on the subsequent negotiations.
Today Yu Anmin came with a mission. The reason why his attitude was very different from when he contacted Ye Lan yesterday was because overnight, the trend on the Internet had changed.
And the one who is at the forefront of this is the director of "Love in the Sky" he brought.
To a certain extent, this person can be regarded as another party involved in the box office fraud incident.
Yu Anmin had reason to believe that with Jia Wenxuan as the client here, Shen Mu and Ye Lan would have to worry about it no matter what, which would be beneficial to his subsequent negotiations.
