"So, Mr. Zhang, this is what I think. Since Mr. Zhang appreciates me and plans to give me a role in the new movie, then I must also support Mr. Zhang more. Recently, Ms. Lan returned to country A to handle the company's business
Yes, she said that she will come back to see me after a while. At that time, I will talk to Ms. Lan and invest some funds in Mr. Zhang’s new movie.”
"Of course, the amount of investment needs to be decided jointly by Ms. Lan and Director Zhang."
"I know that Mr. Zhang has extensive connections in the industry and must have investors that he often cooperates with. Ms. Lan's investment is just the icing on the cake. However, if Ms. Lan has sufficient funds and Mr. Zhang is in need,
We can also invest more.”
"The specific number needs to wait until Ms. Lan returns to China, and then you can discuss it."
Wu Di spoke very thoughtfully, and Lao Zhang is very confused now.
He originally wanted to add a few more words, but found that Wu Di had already finished everything he wanted to say.
This boy!
He was indeed right!
He is a thoughtful person!
Look at this speech, basically every aspect has been taken into consideration, and even Lao Zhang’s face has been taken into consideration.
You can invest, but I don’t have the final say on how much to invest. You need to confirm with Ms. Lan.
As for Lao Zhang, Wu Di's statement also saved his face.
As for Lao Zhang, it’s not like he’s missing this investment from you.
Given Lao Zhang's status in the entertainment industry, investors are queuing up with number plates waiting to invest in his new movie.

We, Ms. Lan, just want to get a share of the pie. It also depends on whether Director Zhang is willing to give this opportunity.
In fact, according to Zhang Feng, Lao Zhang hopes that Wu Di can take Lan Masanti and her huge investment into the new movie.
It is best to take over all the production and have exclusive title investment.
However, things can be done this way, but words cannot be said this way. Although Wu Di has not officially been in the industry for a long time, he is already well versed in this face-saving philosophy.
Of course, Lao Zhang was not a vegetarian, and he quickly understood Wu Di's good intentions.
I saw him nodding hurriedly: "Yes, you are right!"
"I understand this. Investment is not a trivial matter. It really requires careful discussion between Ms. Lan and I."
Does this count as...promise?
Lao Zhang is also a capable person. In fact, he can completely recognize Ranmasanti's status as an investor first and then discuss the details.
However, he chose not to do this just to save face for himself.
If this intention of cooperation comes from his mouth, wouldn't it mean that he is devaluing himself?
Lao Zhang is an artist.
Unlike Lanmasanti, no matter how noble and elegant Ms. Lan is, she is still a businesswoman. When it comes to business, she always talks about business wherever she goes. This is unspoken.
However, people who engage in art should focus on art when they open and close their mouths. If people who engage in art are allowed to talk about money.
Then the works of art produced by this person will be full of the smell of money, without any artistic pursuit.
Of course, in this world of money and souls, there are very few directors who are pure and only pursue art, and the same goes for actors.
No one should talk big words.
Money is of course very important. Whether it is making money or investing to express one's artistic pursuits, money is needed as a medium.
Without money, no matter how good your idea is, no one will know it.
As a director, of course I don't want to be reduced to this situation.
So why did the coal boss become a legend in this circle?
It's because they are both rich and happy. The main reason is that they don't care about gains and losses, they spend a lot of money and they don't care about the filming progress of the movie.
It will not interfere with the official filming of the movie.
Isn't it just a matter of stuffing a bunch of people in?
no problem!
Generally speaking, these coal bosses are very self-aware and know that the actors they promote are not particularly outstanding actors, as long as they can give their people a more suitable role in the film.
They will not shamelessly ask the director to reserve the starring role.
However, nowadays, it is increasingly difficult to find such kind-hearted investors.
Lao Zhang is a big boss in the industry, and he is the most sensitive and aware of the changes in the entertainment industry's investment structure over the years.
It is precisely because of this understanding that Lao Zhang cherishes Lanmasanti's investment even more.
This is a very rare rich man in today's market!
Still delivered to your door!
"Since Mr. Zhang has no objection, when Ms. Lan returns to China, I will contact you and let you two meet."
"Have you never met Mr. Zhang and Ms. Lan before?"
Lao Zhang nodded: "I really haven't met you. We've always been in contact via phone. When you said that, I figured it all out."
"Actually, we only had three phone calls in total before finalizing the investment. I was still a little surprised at that time. As you know, after Mingzhu Company withdrew its investment in the film, the funding gap was still relatively large. If Lan
Marsanti wants to make additional investment, and the amount is quite large."
"She actually decided such a big thing over the phone so easily. It's so generous!"
"After listening to your words, I realized that Ms. Lan had already targeted her, but she just didn't know when to intervene."
"With Mingzhu Company's divestment, it actually gave her an opportunity to get close to you."
"Maybe this is a blessing in disguise."
Lao Zhang's conclusion is correct. From the perspective of changing the skin of the film, he left the Pearl Company, which had many demands and also added actors, in exchange for Ranmasanti, and he indeed enjoyed a huge blessing.
In fact, there are some entertainers under Ms. Lan's company, but most of them are taking the international route, and currently they are still not in line with the positioning of the film Skin Change.
Furthermore, Ms. Lan’s investment in changing skins was purely to flatter her own son, so why did she need to recruit others into the group?
Therefore, it is obvious that investors like Ms. Lan are rare and hard to come by.
Wu Di, who is highly praised by Ms. Lan, has also been seen by Lao Zhang. He has indeed good qualifications. The most important thing is that he is also humble and willing to endure hardships.
Even if there is no pusher behind such a person, Lao Zhang is actually willing to give him a chance.
And now, Wu Di has Lan Masanti behind him, and Lan's direction is also very clear. The movies she invests must be starred by her son.
As for what kind of role to play, it is not decided by Ms. Lan, but by Wu Di.
For example, according to Lao Zhang's vision, his new movie will still tell the story of the older generation, and the ages of the male and female protagonists will be around fifty.
A male protagonist of this age would naturally have no chance to meet Wu Di, but their son could challenge him. In this way, there would be a chance for Wu Di.
