Immediately, Tong Yangxi sat next to Sun Lulu, where a seat had already been reserved for him.
I immediately said to Shen Danmei: "Well, let's start first, everyone is already here. Let's talk about things while eating. But it's best to finish talking before I get drunk, otherwise I won't admit it tomorrow."
Everyone at the table laughed.
So I raised my glass, "Come, let's raise our glasses together to welcome our respected Ms. Shen Danmei back to her hometown. Haha! This is what I said on the scene. Then I expressed another meaning. We were good friends before Danmei went abroad. Well, to be honest, I am very grateful to her, because without her, I would not have known Sun Lulu, and after meeting Sun Lulu, my company has an excellent management talent. So, drinking water and thinking about the source, in the final analysis Di should still thank you Danmei. I think Lulu’s thoughts are the same as mine. In a word, words are in the wine, and love is also in this glass of wine. Come on, let me raise a glass together. Here’s to our beautiful plum blossoms.”
"Brother Feng said that very well. Sister Danmei, we all respect you and welcome you back." Sun Lulu said. Just now, when I said that I was very grateful to Shen Danmei for introducing me to Sun Lulu, Sun Lulu became obviously nervous. I clearly saw her nervous expression in my eyes.
After everyone drank the first glass of wine together, I went to pay homage to Shen Danmei alone, and said five words, "Welcome back."
"Thank you, Brother Feng." She smiled at me. Her smile was very charming.
Then everyone present went to toast her, starting with Sun Lulu, who took Tong Yangxi with her to toast Shen Danmei's wine.
"Sister Danmei, I have always missed you." Sun Lulu said, actually shedding tears.
Shen Danmei was also very excited, looking at her smiling, "Lulu, you are getting more and more beautiful. I am also very happy to see you today. We used to communicate by phone, but today we finally met. The little boy is very happy Handsome, I congratulate Sister Lulu on finally finding your destination."
The three people drank the wine immediately, and then everyone else present went to toast Shen Danmei's wine, including Dong Jie next to me.
Next, Sun Lulu came to toast my drink. I knew that the people behind her would come later, and tonight would become a simple drinking scene, because once such a toasting method started, it would be difficult to control it. Unless everyone is drunk. So I stopped her immediately, "Lulu, don't be busy. I really want to hear Danmei finish the previous story. I have a problem, that is curiosity. It's very serious. She just started to speak and was interrupted, and now I feel very itchy."
Everyone is laughing.
Shen Danmei smiled brightly at me, her eyes looking very charming. She raised her glass and said to me: "Brother Feng, I'll toast you with a glass first and then talk about it. Is that okay?"
Now I couldn't refuse, so I smiled and said, "Okay. Thank you."
After drinking the wine, I went to look at her, but she took a look at Sun Lulu and then asked me: "Brother Feng, do you think Lulu is suitable to be an actor or to be the current chairman?"
Although I was surprised, I knew she must have a deep meaning, so I smiled and replied: "I have never seen her acting in the theater, but she is very qualified to be the chairman, and she is very good. It is precisely because I don't know her as an actress. situation, so I can’t compare.”
"So, what about you, Brother Feng? Do you hope that you can become a doctor with excellent medical skills or a very rich man? Choose one of the two, you can only choose one answer." She asked again.
"I studied medicine, and of course I hope that I can make achievements in my profession. But there is a difference. I do projects to make money, which is material pursuit. I become a doctor for my ideal, which is my spirit. Pursuit. Both are indispensable." I replied.
Shen Danmei smiled sweetly, "Brother Feng is extremely capable. Of course he can do both. But I understand what Brother Feng said just now. The first thing you choose is your own ideal. You want to be an outstanding person." Doctor, right?"
I smiled slightly, "You can understand it this way." But I was thinking in my heart: Why is she talking about these things in such a roundabout way?
"Lulu and I both studied Peking Opera. Although I was engaged in catering when I first came abroad, as you said, it was just a need for survival and a material need, so when I met people at home, I have been working with the crew there since I filmed outdoor scenes. Now I have finally realized my dream and become an actor. But what about Lulu? As far as I know, her biggest dream is still to be an actress. What do you think? Is that right, Lulu?" She immediately asked Sun Lulu.
Sun Lulu didn't speak. She looked at me and blushed immediately.
I seemed to understand, but I didn't fully understand, "Danmei, you mean that Lulu doesn't want to be the chairman? She wants to go filming with you?"
"That's right and that's wrong." Shen Danmei answered me with a smile.
I was suddenly surprised, "Then what do you mean?"
Shen Danmei sighed: "The Jiangnan Peking Opera Troupe is in a recession now, so Lulu has no choice but to work for you. But deep down, she still hopes to be an actor. I know this completely. Each of us has our own dream." , just like Brother Feng, you want to become a respected medical expert. However, not everyone's dream is so easy to realize. It requires one's own ability, luck, and the help of others. Am I right, Brother Feng? After all, not every actor can encounter chance and luck like mine."
I nodded, "That's true. But I still don't understand what you said. What do you think I can do for you?"
"Brother Feng, I recently chose a good script. I want to shoot a TV series myself. But I need investors. Since it is a TV series directed by me, I have the final say on the actors in it. So this is a good thing for me and for me. This is a rare opportunity for Lulu. Brother Feng has strong financial strength now, but I just wonder if you are interested in film and television investment?" She said immediately.
It suddenly dawned on me: That’s it! I mean, this explains everything.
"Danmei, have you ever had experience directing a TV series? Have you ever thought about how to distribute a TV series after it is filmed and how to recover the costs? Haha! I'm sorry, I like to ask questions directly." So I said.
"Many issues in every industry may seem complicated to outsiders, but to people in our industry, they actually seem very simple. The key issues are the script and the performance level of the actors. Of course, the early stage Publicity is also important," she said.
"How much investment is needed?" I asked.
"Because this is the first time I have made a TV series by myself, I am also very cautious. I estimate that the total investment will be around 8 million, including the cost of publicity." She said, and then added: "Such an investment is huge for a TV series.
It’s considered a medium amount.”
I shook my head, "Eight million is not a small sum, and I can't come up with it at the moment. Lulu knows that the funding gap for our project is also huge now, and I really don't understand the film and television industry, so maybe there is nothing I can do. Danmei,
I'm sorry, maybe it will be easier in a few years when I have enough funds."
She said nonchalantly: "I know your situation. Lulu has told me everything. If you are really in trouble now, five million will do. I can find a solution through other channels."
I smiled and said, "Well, let's not talk about this matter today. Talking about such things now will affect the atmosphere of our party. And I don't understand all the situations at the moment, and I can't agree to this thing with you now."
Let's talk about it later. Our main task today is to drink and reminisce about old times. Do you agree, Danmei?"
In fact, this is a delaying tactic. To be honest, I am not interested in her so-called investment at all. I am not Lin Yi. I don’t have such strong funds. It is impossible to spend millions to play in movies. After all, I
I don’t know anything about that industry. In my opinion, if I really spend millions to do something like that, the result will be obvious, and I will definitely be a meat bun and beat the dog with no return.
Shen Danmei smiled and said: "Okay. I listen to Brother Feng. In fact, I am just talking. Brother Feng must take time to think about it. Brother Feng, if you are free tomorrow, I will ask Lulu to give you the script to read first.
Let’s see. Is that okay?”
Of course I understand her thoughts: after all, I didn’t refuse, so she thinks this matter is very promising. Also, she must know the relationship between me and Sun Lulu, so she thinks that I will use this money to realize what Sun Lulu said
dream.
I smiled and said: "Okay. Okay, let's not talk about this matter. You see, no one has eaten. Come, let's drink and eat more vegetables!"
Later, we no longer talked about this matter, and we only talked about some past things and the current problems in the project. But the atmosphere was good, and I drank a lot of wine.
After dinner, I said goodbye to Shen Danmei, and at the same time said to Sun Lulu: "You can arrange the following things and see what Danmei likes, whether it's singing or doing beauty treatments. You can figure it out. Danmei, what are you doing today?"
Did you come? Did you come by taxi?"
"The driver sent by Lulu came to pick me up. The driver is still there. I live in Beijing now, and the car is also there. Brother Feng, let's go sing together." Shen Danmei said.
I shook my head and apologized: "I can't help myself now. I can't help it, I'm not as free as before."
"Sister Danmei and I will go for beauty treatments," Sun Lulu said.
I nodded to her and immediately drove. I found Tong Yangxi running towards me. I immediately asked him to sit in the passenger seat of my car and asked him: "Kid, are you okay?"
He looked at me and hesitated to speak. I smiled and said to him, "Go on, tell me what you have to say."
"Dr. Feng, I think you should be more cautious with this investment." He finally said it. (To be continued)
