Only those who come from heaven will be useful to me. I am a heavenly immortal. Chapter 404: Please give me a thumbs up. Zong Baoyuan’s meeting lasted until twelve o’clock. Zhang Chi sat in his office for two hours. Fortunately, he had a beautiful assistant, Mina, to chat with him.
, I used these two hours to help Zhang Chiyi gain a lot of knowledge about the entertainment industry, and by the way, it promoted the relationship between the two of them. When they parted, they were already very close to each other, and by the way, they made appointments for dinner next week.
At lunchtime, we were at the club on the top floor of this building. Zhang Chi met the famous youth film director Huo Qiliang. He also understood that Zong Baoyuan was only treating him to the meal in passing. He mainly wanted to talk about work with Huo Qiliang. Huo Qiliang was new to Jincheng Pictures.
He signed a contract for four films, which included a gambling clause. Although Huo Qiliang was very famous in the industry, the pressure was also very high.
Zong Baoyuan first showed Huo Qiliang the data from this year's Lunar New Year holiday to the present, and then gave him reassurance: "The domestic box office has soared in the past two years, and the number of screens has grown at an alarming rate. Let's talk about our own Jincheng
The theater chain is enough to accomplish your goals.”
Huo Qiliang sighed and said: "I really regret signing this gambling agreement with you now. It's quite stressful. Four movies in three years, 2 billion box office! On average, I have to get 500 million for each movie."
Zong Baoyuan smiled and said: "A hit movie has a box office of 2 billion, and then I just sit and count the money. I have confidence in you."
Huo Qiliang said: "I made a youth film, and the hit was a billion dollars. Now I'm worried about the audience's taste. If I get tired of watching the fresh and fresh movies, I won't be able to find a place to cry." He and Zong Baoyuan are the same.
We have a cooperative relationship for many years, so we are very direct when speaking.
Zong Baoyuan said: "I forgot to introduce you, my nephew, my brother-in-law's godson Zhang Chi, he is a top student in Shuimu."
Zhang Chi stood up and stretched out his hand to Huo Qiliang: "Hello, Director Huo, please give me your advice."
Huo Qiliang shook hands with him and thought of Xiao Jiujiu: "I know you. You recommended Xiao Jiujiu to the crew, right?"
Zhang Chi smiled and said, "It's me. I hope Director Huo will take care of me in the future." He raised his glass to toast Huo Qiliang and drank three cups of Maotai with Huo Qiliang.
Huo Qiliang said: "I have met Xiao Jiujiu. His conditions are good and his acting skills are acceptable, but he seems to be difficult to get along with."
Zong Baoyuan didn't know who Xiao Jiujiu was, so he lit a cigarette and listened.
Zhang Chi heard that Huo Qiliang's tone was a bit unkind, and it seemed that he had a bad impression of Xiao Jiujiu, so he quickly explained: "She is still a student at school, so she has little social experience, but she is simple and kind-hearted, and can endure hardships."
Huo Qiliang nodded and said: "Actually, what I admire most are actors with personality, but she has a lot of requirements. She doesn't do sex scenes, nudity, or kissing scenes. Is this what you taught her?"
Huo Qiliang knew that Zhang Chi was Ye Jintang's godson, and Xiao Jiujiu must be his, otherwise Ye Huacheng would not directly recommend him to him, and he also specifically told Huo Qiliang to play an important role. Faced with investor Ye Huacheng, Huo Qiliang
I was so angry that I didn't start, but I didn't like Ye Jintang's godson.
Zhang Chi was put out by Huo Qiliang, and his face became a little hot.
Huo Qiliang laughed loudly: "My manager didn't ask for that. I understand. I understand everything. Zhang Chi, it's our first time to meet. Let's take a big glass." He picked up the wine dispenser.
Zhang Chi nodded and without hesitation picked up the wine dispenser and drank the wine with Huo Qiliang.
Zong Baoyuan applauded from the side. He knew Huo Qiliang's drinking capacity and could handle two kilograms of Moutai, but he didn't understand Zhang Chi's situation. The young man really dared to fight.
Zhang Chi's normal drinking capacity is about one pound. I heard from Mina that Huo Qiliang is a good drinker. As long as he drinks happily with him, Xiao Jiujiu's affairs will be fine. For Xiao Jiujiu's sake, he decided to go all out and get the hangover pill in advance.
After eating it, this guy never fights with uncertainty.
After eating Erliang Maotai, his stomach felt warm. Suddenly, Immortal Zhang suddenly had a whim. He had been refining his internal organs with real fire for the past two days, so he could burn off calories while refining his body.
Huo Qiliang saw that he had nothing to do after drinking two ounces of wine, so he smiled and said: "Good things come in pairs, let's have a drink."
Zhang Chi drank another large glass with him. He drank too quickly and his face turned a little red. He said respectfully: "Director Huo, look at what happened with Xiao Jiujiu..."
Huo Qiliang said: "I don't see that you are still a lover. If you can drink two glasses of wine in a row, the heroine of my drama will be Xiao Jiujiu."
In fact, he had already settled on Xiao Jiujiu, not only because Xiao Jiujiu met the requirements, but also because the investor of this drama was the Ye family, and Ye Huacheng had already spoken, so of course he had no reason to refuse.
In fact, he was so unhappy that he couldn't even make the decision on the casting. The Ye family forced an actress in. Knowing that Zhang Chi was Ye Jintang's godson, he did it deliberately and took the opportunity to vent his unhappiness.
Zong Baoyuan quickly reminded Zhang Chi: "Zhang Chi, don't be brave!" He knew that Huo Qiliang was unhappy, and he also knew about Huo Qiliang's drinking capacity. Although Zhang Chi was not his nephew, if he was really tricked by Huo Qiliang, he would not be able to make a fool of himself on the spot.
nice.
Zhang Chi had long seen Huo Qiliang's intention. Director Huo was taking it out on himself, so he didn't say anything. He deliberately said: "Director Huo, if I drink two glasses of wine in a row, the heroine of this movie will be Xiao Jiujiu.
Then if I drink eight drinks in a row, she will be the heroine of all the four movies you signed with Jincheng."
Huo Qiliang looked at Zhang Chi questioningly. You brag, you drink eight glasses in a row. The wine dispenser is filled to the brim with more than two ounces. Eight glasses are at least one pound and six ounces. Counting what you just drank, that's
More than two kilograms, drink it in one breath? I can't even drink it. Huo Qiliang knew he couldn't do it, so he nodded and said: "Okay!"
Zhang Chi said with a smile: "Uncle, you heard me, testify for me."
Zong Bao Yuan Xin said that you don't know how good you are. You are drinking instead of risking your life. He quickly smoothed things over and said, "Zhang Chi, Director Huo is joking with you."
Zhang Chi said: "Does a great director like Director Huo keep his word?" He lost no time in attacking Huo Qiliang's army.
Huo Qiliang also has a stubborn temper, and he became excited when he heard it: "Why don't I keep my word? As long as you drink it, the heroines in the four movies of Jincheng and I are all Xiao Jiujiu, the number one heroine."
Zong Baoyuan really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Huo Qiliang signed a gambling agreement, with a box office of 2 billion, all using newcomers. If it fails, you Huo Qiliang will lose everything. But then I thought about it, Huo Qiliang is famous for supporting newcomers in the industry, and now
There are really not many actresses with good acting skills, especially the protagonist. Don't just focus on appearance for acting skills. Acting skills are all the responsibility of supporting actors.
Without saying a word, Zhang Chi asked the waiter to find eight wine dispensers and fill them up. In front of the two of them, he drank eight glasses of wine in one go, which was more enjoyable than drinking mineral water.
Huo Qiliang and Zong Baoyuan were stunned. They didn't know that this guy was cheating. He had taken hangover pills beforehand. Drinking alcohol was like drinking water. The biggest reaction was that his bladder was a little bloated, so he turned around and peeed.
Zong Baoyuan quickly asked someone to bring another bottle of Moutai, and Zhang Chi drank all the wine. Now Huo Qiliang was riding a tiger and was in trouble. Originally, he thought that Zhang Chi would not be able to drink it. After four cups at most, this guy would have to spit it out, but he frowned.
He drank eight glasses of wine without wrinkles. Huo Qiliang had been in countless drinking places, but he had never seen anyone drinking like this. His first reaction was that this guy was a drunkard and had no feeling when drinking.
Zhang Chi drank eight glasses of wine, stuffed a peanut into his mouth, and said with a smile: "I would like to thank Director Huo for Xiao Jiujiu. Uncle, you can make a supplementary agreement later and add it to Director Huo's gambling agreement."
Huo Qiliang was sweating on his forehead. What the hell is going on? He has been in the industry for so many years and he is an old man, but he was tricked by this kid.
Zong Baoyuan saw this and laughed secretly. Huo Qiliang wanted to use this incident to vent his dissatisfaction, but in the end he was looking for trouble.
Huo Qiliang is a master who is willing to admit defeat. He nodded and said: "Besides, since I said it, I can do it. I will definitely make Xiao Jiujiu famous."
Zhang Daxian said: "Director Huo, just because of your words, I have to give you a big toast."
"Dry!"
"Dry!"
Zong Baoyuan was dumbfounded. Although he was the one treating the guests, he had now completely become an outsider. Huo Qiliang was competitive by nature and strived for excellence in filming. Even in the wine shop, he was alone and had three drinks with Zhang Chi.
After Maotai, Huo Qiliang could no longer stop the car.
In fact, his drinking capacity was more than that, but drinking slowly is different from drinking in a hurry. After Zhang Chi drank eight drinks in a row, he came to Huo Qiliang again. Huo Qiliang unkindly came up with the idea of taking advantage of the situation, and drank three large glasses of wine again.
Belly.
Zhang Chi was fine, but Huo Qiliang fainted first, hugging Zhang Chi and calling him brother-in-law.
Zong Baoyuan has never seen Huo Qiliang be so out of character, dragging Zhang Chi with him even to the toilet. Drinking parties are the easiest place to get closer.
When the two of them came out of the toilet, Huo Qiliang held Zhang Chi tightly with his wet hands: "Brother, I want to fall in love with you. I have an idea. Let's become sworn friends."
Zhang Chi smiled and said: "Director Huo, you drank too much."
"I didn't drink too much...I just admire you...brother...do you look down on your brother?" Huo Qiliang's eyes straightened.
Zong Baoyuan came up to help Huo Qiliang, but Huo Qiliang hugged him: "The three of us are sworn sworn friends! That's it, eh! Waiter, burn some incense!"
Zong Baoyuan really couldn't laugh or cry. Zhang Chi said to Huo Qiliang: "No, he is my uncle!"
Huo Qiliang seemed to understand when he heard this, and pushed Zong Baoyuan aside: "Then let's say goodbye. From now on, your dad is my dad, and your uncle is my uncle!"
Only then did Zhang Chi truly understand that the great director Huo Qiliang was actually an alcoholic lunatic. He just wanted to be his brother. He was afraid of whom, and he had no loss at all. After he became his brother, it would be easier for him to emotionally kidnap Lao Huo. He shared the blessings and shared the hardships.
Zhang Daxian's little abacus was clattering, Huo Qiliang, who was in a drunken mood, bowed to Zong Baoyuan in front of him. Huo Qiliang took Zhang Chi to toast Zong Baoyuan together, calling Zong Baoyuan's uncle with each mouthful, making Zong Baoyuan's heart tremble.
