The conversation between the two didn't last very long. After almost finishing talking about the business, Li Youqing left early on the excuse that he had to go home to cook.
Although this approach made Jiang Bei feel comfortable, he couldn't help but complain in his heart that his wife was so shameless that she had the nerve to use this excuse to run away.
"That man can tell from a glance that he liked his sister-in-law when he was studying. Brother, you can't let your sister-in-law make a movie."
The sophisticated Liangliang reminded him while scraping the remaining ice cream.
"That's definitely not allowed to be taken." Jiang Bei nodded in agreement.
Although the conversation just now did not involve any bloody drama, and Youyou's own position was very clear. But after all, they are of the opposite sex, and they have a classmate relationship, so they must avoid things that need to be avoided, just in case.
Liangliang finished the last bite of the ice cream and threw it into the trash can nearby. She wiped her mouth and was about to speak, but unexpectedly, another voice came from the headset.
"Hello?"
"I got closer, but she didn't agree directly, but said she wanted to think about it."
"Well, I know that if we can bring her in, it will bring a lot of popularity to our movie, but I just can't understand why the investors must be willing to invest if she is willing to star?"
"Okay, I understand."
The sound stopped abruptly.
Jiang Bei frowned, looking at the man walking out of the coffee shop and gradually walking away, with a thoughtful look on his face.
"Brother, he seems to be taking advantage of his sister-in-law?" Liangliang first went into the coffee shop to get the bug back, and then said.
That's true.
Although it was only a few sentences, it directly refreshed this classmate's motivation.
From a possible admiration to an ulterior motive, I want to take advantage of the current young popularity to bring a certain amount of traffic and popularity to the film.
But then again, there is nothing wrong with this approach. The increase in an artist's fame itself is used as a bargaining chip for him to take on roles.
But the last sentence has become a new problem. The movie about Youyou's classmate actually asked her to star in order to invest in it?
Why does this operation sound a bit familiar?
"Go and find out where this classmate is from." Jiang Bei looked at the man leaving the coffee shop and ordered.
"Okay." Liangliang carefully put the eavesdropping device into her small backpack, put it on her back and prepared to go back to school: "I have to go back to school."
"etc."
Jiang Bei suddenly remembered something and stopped Liangliang who was about to leave, and asked doubtfully: "Today is not the weekend, why are you outside?"
Liangliang stopped and smiled: "Guess."
"I'll beat you to death!"
"Help..."
…
Liang Liang's powerful intelligence network had not yet sent back the news, but Li Youqing took the initiative to bring the matter up after he returned home.
"Beibei, there is something I want to tell you."
Li Youqing asked him to sit down while peeling the kiwi fruit.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Bei took off his coat and sat down, asking curiously.
"In the past few days, an old high school classmate has been looking for me. He has a movie ready to be shot, and he plans to cast me as the heroine. I would like to ask what you think."
"High school classmates? Male or female? What's their name? Is there any relationship between you?"
Jiang Bei, who pretended not to know anything, asked a lot of normal men's reactions.
Li Youqing didn't hide anything and replied: "He's just an ordinary high school classmate, he's a boy, his name is Ma Daoxue."
"Then what do you think?" Jiang Bei asked tentatively.
Li Youqing hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "He invested 70 million in this movie, so it should be a blockbuster."
have to!
Xiao Nizi was indeed attracted by the big production of 70 million yuan, and she wanted to agree.
"Besides, he and I are classmates after all, and he has been invited again and again. Wouldn't it be a little bad if I didn't agree?"
If the investment of 70 million in blockbusters makes Li Youqing's heart beat, then the friendship between classmates is another concern that she cannot refuse.
At this point, Jiang Bei already knew that his wife might eventually agree to take on the movie.
In addition to the previous reasons, there should be one last reason.
That is, so far this year, she has not appeared in a new film or television drama.
In the past, it was due to the constraints of a gentleman's agreement, but now with the popularity of "Wandering Blue" and Jiangbei's own aggressive attempts to jump into friendly forces, this agreement has come to an end.
So there is no need to worry about taking on bad movies anymore, Li Youqing will naturally want to take on new film and television dramas.
"Since you have already made up your mind, why are you asking me what to do?" Thinking of this, Jiang Bei simply stopped trying, shook his head and leaned on the sofa.
"Then I want to discuss it with you! Why are you so arrogant?"
Li Youqing smiled and picked up a peeled kiwi fruit and fed it to Jiang Bei, and said: "I haven't taken on a new drama for a long time. If I don't seize the time to produce a new work, I'm afraid I will be out of date."
Jiangbei's cheeks bulged from being stuffed with kiwi fruit. This little girl is so cruel. She stuffed such a big and spicy fruit whole without fear of choking.
"Actually, I still hope you don't want to act. Now you can make money by accepting advertising endorsements. And it doesn't matter even if you don't make money, we already have enough money to live on for a lifetime."
Excluding Li Youqing from entering the entertainment industry has always been Jiangbei's truest thought, even if he is an ally. Everyone knows this.
"Silly Hanhan, who would think that the money is too much?" Li Youqing himself picked up a kiwi fruit and ate it, while replying: "Besides, accepting advertisements is an act of consuming popularity. If I don't have good works, I will be very disappointed.
We’re going to lose these ads soon.”
When Jiang Bei heard this, he stopped talking and ate the fruit.
Seeing his appearance, Li Youqing jumped on him with the knife and fork in his hand, and said coquettishly: "Oh... I know why you don't like me entering the entertainment industry, but you can see that I am also very sensible and careful.
You’re very measured when filming!”
"I didn't do it before, who can say for sure in the future?" Jiang Bei hugged his wife and shook his head while taking advantage.
Being hugged suddenly made Li Youqing a little uncomfortable. After a few twists and turns, he found that he couldn't break free, so he simply gave up and retorted: "I'm not that capricious person, and I think a good film and television drama can also
There is no need for kissing scenes, sex scenes, or explicit plots to set it off. Those are meaningless. So don’t worry, I will never accept that kind of scene."
Jiang Bei just smiled and said nothing about this. As far as he knew, even the best actress Sui Xi had an on-screen kiss scene, not to mention you, a screen rookie who had only debuted for two years?
Speaking of which, if Li Youqing hadn't written the scripts for his previous films, who knows what would have happened?
In fact, Jiangbei was not wrong. The problem arose when Liangliang informed Liangliang of the results of the investigation the day after the incident.
"My sister-in-law's high school classmate is called Ma Daoxue. After graduating from high school, I went abroad to study at the famous Fuhan Film and Television Academy. At the end of last year, I returned to China to pursue my career. At the beginning of this year, I filmed a youth inspirational short story, which won the best award at the 18th College Student Film Festival.
Short Film Award.”
"I signed a contract with Phoenix Films in June this year and started preparing for my first big movie "My College Days."
"So awesome!"
After receiving the news, Jiang Bei was also slightly surprised. This Ma Daoxue seems to be somewhat genuine!
"Compared to my brother, you are far behind." Liangliang flattered her brother without leaving any trace.
Today happens to be the weekend, and the little girl ran home early and followed Jiang Bei out to buy groceries.
"There's no point in flattering me. I won't be able to give you pocket money until the end of next month." Jiang Bei shook his head and continued to ask while browsing the supermarket with his hands behind his back: "What did you mean by yesterday's paragraph?
"
Whether Ma Daoxue is strong or not has nothing to do with him. He just wants to know what the deep meaning behind Ma Daoxue's actions is.
Liangliang pushed the trolley behind and happened to pass by the snack area. The little girl glanced at her brother and quietly took some snacks and put them into the trolley. She also covered them with the dishes in front to prevent being discovered.
After doing this, she replied: "Because Ma Daoxue couldn't find an investor, the contract company Phoenix Films was only willing to invest 20 million, but he estimated that the investment for this film would be 70 million, and there was a big difference between the two, so
Ma Daoxue could only think of ways to attract investment, and finally found cultural and creative entertainment."
Jiang Bei frowned when he heard this. The name sounded familiar.
"It's the company of the movie queen Sui Xi." Liangliang added.
How about the movie queen?
It's this inexperienced girl again.
"Why is she everywhere?"
Mentioning this woman Jiang Bei is full of resentment. On the way to dragging his wife out of the entertainment industry, Sui Xi is definitely one of the culprits who got everything exposed!
"This girl is very popular now. She invested in Ji Yingzi's "Blue Fortress" some time ago. It seems that these two senior sisters are planning to bring Chinese science fiction blockbusters to the world."
Liangliang said while shaking her head secretly while putting things away.
After putting it away, she discovered that the car was already full of snacks. After realizing it, she quickly started taking the snacks out of the car.
After hearing this, Jiang Bei almost couldn't help but laugh out loud. After filming "Shanghai Fortress", do you want to lead Chinese science fiction movies to the world?
This time I'm afraid the door will have to be welded shut by you.
There was even a moment when he wanted to arrange for Li Youqing to be involved, but after thinking about it, he was worried that the ending would change if he got involved, so he simply gave it up.
"This time we must make Ji Yingzi and Sui Xi suffer."
This was the explosion of Jiangbei's inner resentment.
After the incident ended, he didn't go to trouble Ji Yingzi and Sui Xi, but that didn't mean he didn't have any grudges against them.
If I could see them fail once, it would relieve the resentment in my heart.
Of course, it would be unrealistic for him to stop Ji Yingzi from filming "The Blue Fortress" now.
Can people listen to you?
Does not exist.
In their thoughts, the brother and sister came to the seafood area. Jiangbei asked the boss to weigh two kilograms of prawns, which is Liangliang's favorite food.
Catching the good shrimps While the boss was making orders, Jiang Bei asked casually: "Can Cultural and Creative Entertainment acquire it?"
Since Cultural and Creative Entertainment plans to invest the remaining 50 million, if you acquire it yourself, even if Youyou agrees to take over the filming, it will be of no avail.
By then it was revealed that there was insufficient funding for the filming, and it was naturally impossible for the film to continue filming.
To take a step back, he could also let Erjing Film and Television invest, on the condition that Li Youqing be refused to star in order to achieve the desired result.
"ah?"
Liangliang was a little confused after hearing this.
"Is it difficult?" Jiang Bei frowned and asked.
Liangliang hesitated for a moment, then whispered back: "Brother, this girl Sui Xi has more money than you..."
Jiangbei: "..."
