Chapter 103 I am repairing the earth in the desert
"No, I haven't liked anyone yet." Zhang Hong explained, "I just said that in the future, when I look for a partner, I want to find someone with good personality and appearance, so I have to work hard to improve myself."
"You want to get away with it?" Liu Yan smiled at first, and then immediately became alert, "It's not a female star you have a crush on, is it? Son, Mom can tell you, you must pay attention to girls in the entertainment industry!"
Zhang Hong said helplessly: "No, I'm not a star in the entertainment industry. No, I don't have a partner right now. I won't talk about it anymore. I'm still busy, so I'll hang up first."
After hanging up the phone, a standard mother's smile appeared on Liu Yan's face.
She glanced at her husband.
Zhang Hao immediately understood: "Understood! Tomorrow I will send someone to check the girls who have appeared around Xiaohong in recent months!"
Liu Yan calmly took a sip of the useless slimming tea and nodded with satisfaction.
Everything is left unsaid.
............
After hanging up the phone and looking at the three or two scattered leaders in the conference room, Zhang Hong continued: "Li Shanqi and the others are preparing to attend the Golden Eagle Award Ceremony in the capital. Let's continue the discussion."
After a pause, he said: "The post-production of "Flags of Our Fathers" will be completed soon. Now we have two questions. Lin Muqing, please tell me."
He quietly observed Lin Muqing's expression, wanting to see her reaction after hearing what he just said on the phone.
But unfortunately, the black man didn't react at all, and his expression remained as capable and cold as ever.
She stood up, turned on the projector and began to analyze: "After the filming of "Flags of Our Fathers" was completed and it was destined to be unable to make a profit, our studio's capital was less than 600,000 yuan. Now it is a choice for the future.
I have summarized a few directions for everyone to choose from.
The first is the simplest and easiest direction, which is to accept investment from investors and make commercial TV series that meet the market.
The advantage is that you can make money to support the studio, but the disadvantage is that you have to be constrained by capital, and you may have to accept the reality that the other party will stuff the crew with actors.
At present, more than fifteen capital companies have contacted us and want to cooperate.”
After speaking, she paused and looked at Zhang Hong.
Zhang Hong looked unhappy: "If you don't accept it, then you can't kneel down and beg for food? I just want to stand and still make money."
Lin Muqing was not surprised at all. Zhang Hong had the same idea as she had judged.
So she continued: "Then the second option is to make a TV series that we invest in ourselves. And with Zhang Hong's current reputation, whether this TV series is sold to a TV station or a video website, there will be a lot of profits.
.
There is no way, we should have been able to get 10 million."
She glanced at Zhang Hong.
Zhang Hong became angry: "What's wrong? What's going on! What are you looking at me doing?!"
Does he regret the ten million?
Of course I regret it so much!
He was so regretful that he was crying even when taking a shower!
At that time, I had to pretend to be a young man and refuse the 10 million. It was really uncomfortable to calm down afterward.
If someone can't come up with the money, or if they just scrape together the money, then Zhang Hong definitely doesn't want it.
But that was money paid out by the president of China Heavy Industries.
Ten million...is really just drizzle to others.
well......
However, Zhang Hong felt uncomfortable, but he did not regret it.
"I can keep this one for now, are there any others?"
"Yes." Lin Muqing said, "The third is to accept the support funds from the China Film and Television Association and then make a movie. If it can be a big hit or make money, then you will live."
But out of a hundred movies, more than ninety were blockbusters.
This one is too unstable.
Zhang Hong frowned and thought about countermeasures.
He subconsciously looked around and suddenly realized that someone seemed to be missing.
He raised his head and looked at Lin Muqing who was standing: "Where are the people from Achuan?"
Wang Ye and Li Shanqi are waiting in the capital to attend the Golden Eagle Awards. Where did you, Lin Chuan, go?
Neither in Beijing nor in Luo City.
Lin Muqing looked away and raised the corners of his mouth: "Maybe... he is experiencing life."
"Experience life? Is he interested in becoming an actor?" Zhang Hong asked.
Lin Muqing frowned slightly: "What can he do as an amateur?"
With his poor acting skills, he was exposed as an undercover agent without even passing a minute in front of him.
Just him?
"The mountain man has his own clever plan." Zhang Hongmo stroked his chin and smiled obscenely, "Anyway, let's call him back first."
............
In the Sahara Desert, a group of people wearing turbans and leading camels were struggling to follow an off-road vehicle.
He grabbed the kettle tied to the camel and took a few sips. Lin Chuan raised his head and squinted at the hot sun and sighed: "It's so miserable!"
Why does he appear in this place?
Let’s start with “Flags of Our Fathers”.
After filming "Mobile Suit", he patted his chest and promised his father that he would definitely spoil Zhang Hong in the next TV series. If he couldn't do it, he would plant trees in the Sahara or go mining in Africa.
As a result, when filming "Flags of Our Fathers", he still didn't receive any news from his father.
In addition, he also knew the inside story of the drama, so he didn't do anything frivolous, so the filming of the drama was completed smoothly.
After filming was completed, Zhang Hong and the others went to Beijing, while he stayed in Los Angeles to supervise the post-production of the film.
As a result, he finished watching the roughly completed feature film two days ago and fell into despair.
With the idea that since he couldn't resist, he would try to adapt, so he joined a tour group that hiked through the Sahara and traveled to the Sahara in advance to adapt to the environment.
After all, this is where he will work hard to plant trees from now on.
He would rather plant trees in the desert than go to Africa to mine.
After all, greening Mother Earth can be considered a good deed.
Well, actually the Sahara Desert is also in Africa...
In short, he believed that as long as he suffered miserably here for two years, his father would be soft-hearted and take him back.
Isn’t it just two years in the desert? Come on Lin Chuan! You can do it!
That's what he thought at first.
But soon, he fell into despair.
Because on both sides of the road made of traveling ruts, animal bones, including human bones, can be seen from time to time.
People who are hot during the day want to die, and people who are cold at night want to die.
Heavy rain, sandstorms, intense heat and severe cold.
This is daily life in the desert.
But in the past few days, he has also become friends with other people in the team.
Including a taciturn Chinese man in his thirties.
As the only two Chinese here, it was natural for them to become friends.
Through chatting, Lin Chuan learned that his name was Li Hua.
But apart from that, Li Hua doesn't want to talk much about his past.
The phone rang suddenly, pulling Lin Chuan back from the "revolving door" state.
I took out the satellite phone and connected it, and Zhang Hong's voice came from the other side: "Achuan, what are you doing?"
Hearing Zhang Hong's familiar voice, Lin Chuan found that his eyes were a little moist.
But you can’t lose too much water in the desert!
He held back tears, licked his chapped lips, and pretended to be relaxed: "I am repairing the earth."
Zhang Hong was obviously stunned for a moment, and then said: "The earth is still repairing shit! Come back quickly! It's urgent and critical!"
Lin Chuan asked in confusion: "What's the matter, Brother Hong? Can a bastard like me be useful?"
He has a very clear positioning of himself.
Zhang Hong: "I plan to make a TV series with you as the leading actor. Are you interested?"
"Ah..." Lin Chuan felt confused, "Brother Hong, I can't act."
No, he can act.
After all, he is a man dancing on three eggs.
Although one of them was trampled to pieces.
But the other two eggs didn't doubt him.
Brother Hong uses him as a tool man.
Dad just treated him like trash.
Tsk... Why do I feel even more pitiful when I say it this way?
"No, you can do it." Zhang Hong's voice was bewitching, "Achuan, even if you don't believe in yourself, you still have to believe in me who believes in you!"
Lin Chuan grinned: "Brother Hong, I have watched this anime, don't fool me with the original lines."
Even so, he still felt warm in his heart.
It turns out that in Brother Hong’s eyes, isn’t I, Lin Chuan, a waste?
Zhang Hong said impatiently: "Okay, stop talking nonsense! Can you come back within three days?"
"It's okay, it's okay, Brother Hong, you have to give me some money to buy a plane ticket. I don't have any money now."
In order to experience the real life after losing the rich second generation race, he really didn't bring any money with him this time.
Although I have a bank card that is universally accepted, it only contains a few thousand dollars.
He didn't bring any of the remaining bank and credit cards.
"Okay, that's it. I'm going to see you in Luo City within three days. I'm going to die."
Zhang Honglei acted resolutely and did whatever he said.
Lin Chuan opened the kettle and took a few sips, wiped his mouth with his hand, and when he turned around, he saw Li Hua looking straight at him.
He shuddered and asked, "What's wrong?"
Li Hua said quietly: "Brother Hong you are talking about...is that director Zhang Hong?"
