On the sidewalk of a certain street in Tianyun City, there were a few folding tables scattered here and there, and the street lights were dimly lit.
Reflecting the two sparse tables of diners.
This is a barbecue restaurant.
At this time, there was a table with two young men sitting there drinking. One was Xu Tonglu and the other was Jiang Sheng.
There were seven or eight barbecue dishes on the table, as well as seven or eight empty beer bottles. In the cardboard boxes on the floor, there were still a few unopened bottles of beer.
Xu Tonglu looked calm, with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. Jiang Sheng, who was sitting opposite him, looked a little depressed. He grabbed a wine bottle and touched it with the bottle in Xu Tonglu's hand. Before Xu Tonglu could put the bottle to his mouth,
, Jiang Sheng had already raised his neck and swallowed several large gulps of beer.
With a "bang" sound, he slammed the wine bottle on the table, raised his eyes and slumped his shoulders, looked at Xu Tonglu with blurred eyes, and complained loudly: "Take the horse egg! Xiaolu, why do you think I am so unlucky?
?I finally got the CEO position, and after all the hard work, I pulled together a crew and filmed my first TV series. It was about to be officially broadcast, but something like this happened. Isn’t this messing with me?
?
Ah? If this matter came out earlier, or later, or before the official start of filming, or after the broadcast, it would have nothing to do with me!
Can I still hold my position like this? I'm going to be beaten back to my original shape! Damn! If I lose my job this time, with this dark history, how can I get anything decent before?
Investment? Can we still make a comeback? Ah?"
The more he talked, the more depressed he became. Before Xu Tonglu could answer, Jiang Sheng grabbed the bottle again, raised his neck, and once again took a few gulps of beer.
His face was full of despair.
Xu Tonglu frowned.
Although Jiang Sheng was not his best friend, they were college classmates after all, so they still had friendship.
Although he had long concluded that Jiang Shengzhi was very talented, he might not be able to accomplish anything big in this life.
but……
Xu Tonglu knew very well who was responsible for Jiang Sheng's fall to where he is today.
He specially invited Jiang Sheng to Tianyun City to give Jiang Sheng a project, and strongly recommended Jiang Sheng to find Xi Zhilanla to invest. He knew very well that he wanted Jiang Sheng to cheat Xi Zhilan from the beginning.
He had never thought there was anything wrong with this plan before.
I just thought about how to get Xi Zhilan into the game and how to kill her.
However, seeing Jiang Sheng so depressed because of the failure of the Zhengyang Group, Xu Tonglu suddenly felt a little unbearable.
I can't bear to see Jiang Sheng, my old classmate.
Even though he had already thought about waiting for Jiang Sheng to defeat the Zhengyang Group, he would provide Jiang Sheng with the cover and arrange a position for Jiang Sheng in the Ximen Group.
but……
Jiang Sheng's pain before his eyes was real. While Xu Tonglu was cheating on Xi Zhilan, Jiang Sheng, an old classmate, was also hurt and uncomfortable.
Do you want to give up your original plan?
This idea flashed in Xu Tonglu's mind and was rejected by him.
A rebellious person always acts decisively.
Xu Tonglu has been rebellious since he was a child. Even though his temperament has gradually become calmer in recent years, he is still rebellious at heart.
Otherwise, his eldest brother Xu Tongdao has already decided to withdraw from the market of this province and is not fighting with the officials behind Xi Zhilan. Xu Tonglu will not still get a chance to take action from Xu Tongdao.
He was not convinced and simply gave up the province's market.
Why?
Just because Xi Zhilan has a profound background?
He is not convinced!
He just wanted to overthrow Xi Zhilan and make her pay the price.
So what if you have a strong background?
Who can make me, Xu Tonglu, surrender before we even have a fight?
Just like when he was studying, as long as he wanted to get the first place, he would definitely get it. He never thought that there was anyone who could not surpass him, Xu Tonglu.
This is true in primary school, secondary school, and university.
In recent years, his temperament seemed to have become more peaceful. In fact, he just realized that his sharp and unruly personality would offend many people and was not conducive to his daily work, life, and friendships.
Therefore, he hides the strong and unyielding side of his character deep in his heart, and puts on a mask of peaceful temperament so that people will not be wary or disgusted with him.
Like a sharp sword, it is sheathed to hide its edge.
When it comes out of its sheath, its edge will inevitably reappear.
Just like this moment, Xu Tonglu put aside his intolerance towards his old classmate Jiang Sheng, smiled slightly, and said: "Brother Sheng, one miss is not enough to judge success or failure. What's more, this time it was a non-war crime. The problem is not
In your case, you were just implicated by this guy Chen Xiao, you still have a chance to prove your talent!"
When Jiang Sheng heard this, he looked up, laughed at himself, and asked: "Do you think I still have a chance? What chance do you think I have? I even think that Mr. Xi Zhilan has already thought about removing me, do you think I still have a chance?"
What opportunity? To prove my talent? Ha... I'm afraid I won't have the chance to prove it."
Sighing, Jiang Sheng grabbed a skewer of mutton, took off half of the skewer in one go, and chewed it with his head down.
He still looked depressed.
Xu Tonglu's eyes narrowed, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said what he planned to say, "Brother Sheng, there is an old saying in the casino - you can't lose if you bet, as long as you still have the chance to place a bet, you haven't made a bet yet.
table, you still have a chance to make a comeback.
"Half of Love" is just a trial work of your Zhengyang Group, just a small fight. This project failed, it's okay! You can get another amazing enough project to convince Mr. Xi,
Let her give you another chance."
Jiang Sheng burped, squinted at Xu Tonglu, frowned and asked: "Get another amazing plan? It's easy to say, but how can an amazing plan be so easy to come by? Do you think I'm Zhou Yu who played Three Strategies in One Step during the Three Kingdoms period?
?Oh……"
As he said this, he laughed to himself.
Xu Tonglu chuckled, "You didn't, but I did!"
Jiang Sheng was startled, his eyes suddenly became clearer, and he subconsciously straightened his waist and asked hesitantly: "Old classmate, you didn't lie to me? You really did?"
Xu Tonglu smiled and nodded.
Jiang Sheng's eyes lit up, his upper body subconsciously leaned forward slightly, and he asked urgently: "Then tell me quickly! What is the good plan? Come on, tell me!"
Xu Tonglu did not show off, with a smile on his lips, he slowly said his suggestion, "Brother Sheng, times have changed. I think the traditional way of making money in the entertainment industry through filming has become outdated. I want to make money quickly."
Money, if you want to make a lot of money, how much money can you make by shooting one or two TV series or movies a year whose quality and reputation are difficult to control? It is common to lose your capital if you are not careful. Do you agree with this?"
Jiang Sheng was a little confused and hesitated: "That's what I say, but... if you don't make money like this, how can you make money? It's impossible to make a steady profit from making movies and TV shows."
Xu Tonglu raised his index finger and shook it, "No, no, no! How could there be no other way? Do you know how much money Huayi Brothers has made in the stock market in the past few years after it went public? It's more than what their company made from filming.
