Chapter 99: Eating Tangyuan, Billions of Dollars Wealth Exposed (14)

Red wine, white candles.

Hot Pot.

Really eat authentic hot pot.

"This is the private dish you mentioned. Take me here to eat hot pot?"

Gao Yuanyuan stared with her eyes wide open, full of question marks, as if to say, "Don't lie to me."

Shen Santong hosted a welcome party for her, but was afraid of being photographed by the paparazzi, so he decided to find a private restaurant.

Then we arrived at a private villa and something started to feel wrong.

The strangest thing is the dining table combination. Eating hotpot with candlelight dinner, the atmosphere is not right.

"I feel embarrassed that you are staring at me." Shen Santong smiled shyly, acting like a pure and innocent big boy.

But don’t say it, really don’t say it.

Being stared at by Gao Yuanyuan with a somewhat coquettish look in her eyes, I felt a little unbearable.

I feel like my heart is melting.

Her face is a little round, and she has had her teeth corrected and slightly adjusted.

In terms of makeup, although it is no longer under Shen Santong's control, there has been a decline.

But in the crew, after some training by Shen Santong, he is a little better than before.

Shen Santong has seen all kinds of beauties, and Gao Yuanyuan is quite special.

A little sweet, a little goddess-like.

She can be sweet or domineering, and deserves to be the top of the Hupu Goddess List for many years in a row.

Gao Yuanyuan was already here, and all the ingredients were ready: "You'd still feel embarrassed? I don't believe it. You're so impressive in the crew."

"You also said that was the crew. In private, I'm different." Shen Santong prepared the sauce for Gao Yuanyuan.

The hotpot base is half red soup and half clear soup, and his technique of mixing the sauce is unique.

Seriously prepare the sauce.

Seeing his serious look, Gao Yuanyuan believed him a little and asked curiously, "What are you like in private?"

"I'm quite shy. I read most of the time. I like to think quietly and think about creation." Shen Santong thought for a while and said something that the other person would like to hear.

I tried my best to eat Tangyuan.

Gao Yuanyuan's career has been good recently, but her life is terrible.

Last month, "Tianhong" was shortlisted for Cannes and she was also nominated for Best Actress.

At that time, I had just finished a guest appearance in Shengkuai and left the group, and was interviewed by the media.

In a moment of excitement, she admitted in an interview that she and Zhang Yadong had been in love for five years, and if nothing unexpected happened, they would get married next year.

Gao Yuanyuan was also anxious. 29, now it’s 30.

He was slapped in the face by Zhang Yadong.

Zhang Yadong said that she is not in favor of marriage and would rather date than get married.

Later, Zhang Yadong was photographed together with Xu Jinglei.

Shen Santong has been chatting with Gao Yuanyuan online since they met, and took advantage of the failure of forcing her into marriage to advance their relationship.

As soon as the news about Zhang Yadong and Xu Jinglei came out, Shen Santong felt that just caring online was not enough as friendship.

Plan to support offline.

"We have the same hobbies. I also like reading."

Gao Yuanyuan was surprised and said, "I thought you were busy with business in private. I saw a report saying you were a billionaire?"

Gao Yuanyuan had questions in her mind.

I'm really curious. In the past two days, a big news about Shen Santong broke out.

Shen Santong’s wealth.

When we arrived at this private villa, there were even more problems.

The location of the villa is quite good, and she could roughly guess the price, which is really not low. She wanted to ask if the villa belonged to Shen Santong, but felt it was rude.

There are also red wine, candles, and various ingredients for hot pot.

Although the combination is strange, it is obviously carefully prepared.

Gao Yuanyuan felt that this meal alone would cost more than 100,000 yuan. She could afford the money, but since it was just a meal, she really had to think carefully about it.

The income of celebrities in this era is not low, it is higher than that of ordinary people.

But the most profitable celebrities in mainland China only make a few million or tens of millions a year. They also have to attend various cocktail parties, business, and public relations.

You have to act seriously too.

In later generations, the kind of movies that make tens of millions of dollars each, with revenue exceeding that of most companies just from acting, would be considered fantasy now.

Gao Yuanyuan is not a fairy who is detached from the world, so of course she is curious about Shen Santong's wealth.

"It's true what people say, but I personally don't like doing business. I like movies, and I like ringtones because I think online singers shouldn't be discriminated against. All people are equal."

Shen Santong said: "I make movies because I think the things that directors make nowadays are rubbish. I'm not targeting you, but I don't like Qinghong. There are countless epic stories in the construction of the Third Front, and many participants sacrificed their youth. Wang Xiaoshuai's movies are too utilitarian."

If you want to date a girl like Gao Yuanyuan, you can't do it without an income, but if she values ​​money too much, that's definitely not okay either.

It’s mainly about the feeling, the kind of literary and artistic feeling.

Shen Santong was also helpless.

There have been reports about his wealth before.

After the supermarket sold out, many media outlets chased him and asked how much money he made.

More than a decade later, the film was still a huge box office hit and many people were asked about it.

This phenomenon is even more serious in this era.

Yesterday, Shen Santong revealed 20 million gold coins at the music company, and the news spread.

A company employee shared it online, and then the news spread.

Some reporters began to take stock of Shen Santong's wealth and the situation of his company.

It is also easy to count. The supermarket’s box office is clean and transparent, with a maximum error of a few points, and theaters have begun to pay.

It is no secret that ringtone companies are easier to manage, and the prize pool is based on 30% of the profits.

If you do the math, you can actually get Shen Santong's net worth.

None of them are considered startups, including Dongtian.com and other companies.

The cash flow alone was close to 200 million.

The key is that the money earned is clean, without original sin, and entirely based on talent.

The first pot of gold was from writing books, then movies, and setting up a ringtone company.

So, ever since Supermarket was taken off the screen, Shen Santong has been making headlines again.

It still has two headlines: business and entertainment.

There is already a trend of spreading to social pages.

In this era, people in later generations find it difficult to understand the craze for money, which is undisguised.

"That's not right. How is "Tianhong" utilitarian?" Gao Yuanyuan admired Shen Santong's view on money, but opposed his criticism of "Tianhong".

This is an art film, not utilitarian at all.

"The content of the movie is very utilitarian. Is Shanghai hukou so precious? A family turned against each other for a hukou. I know this happens in real life, but there are also people who don't care. From this, I can see that the director has a hierarchy between regions and people in his mind."

Shen Santong said: "The film itself is also very utilitarian. In order to attract art theaters to buy it, the vigorous construction achievements are stigmatized in exchange for copyright income. Of course, director Wang Xiaoshuai's films are much better than those of his contemporaries, but it is undeniable that this is also the case."

"You talk about others being so utilitarian, but aren't you utilitarian yourself? You make movies to please the audience." Gao Yuanyuan pouted, not very convinced.

Shen Santong’s criticism was too harsh.

She liked this literary style. In front of Shen Santong, she felt like being stripped naked.

But she didn't know how to refute it. Shen Santong was telling the truth, but no one had ever said it in front of her before.

"I make movies for the box office, but I don't make money while claiming that I don't make money from the audience. I don't package a movie project that needs to make a profit as a high-end work of art. I don't let others lead me while shouting about independent thinking."

Shen Santong said honestly: "He is not even kept by someone, and he talks about his independent personality."

"What do you mean by being kept and talking about independent personality? You are such a rude person." Gao Yuanyuan was speechless.

You look down on your colleagues and seniors too much.

I'm beginning to doubt what this man said before. You don't seem shy at all in private.

"Your phone is ringing."

Shen Santong changed the subject and cursed the sixth generation of bastards in his heart.

I originally wanted to be a bit literary, follow the rhythm of the online chat, bring the online familiarity offline, and eat the dumplings directly.

But when it comes to the sixth generation, I would rather my younger brother not see my younger sister than say anything wrong.

Gao Yuanyuan changed her age. The encyclopedia says it was 79, some say 75, but I adopted the age of 76.
