I, holding the script, kidnapped the male protagonist's benefactor
Chapter 147: Poaching the Male Lead
Ji Yu was dressed very simply, wearing an ordinary casual top and pants without too much decoration. The white and light gray colors were very elegant, but they perfectly set off his temperament.
Ren Zhang and Xie Yu subconsciously thought that he was a scion of a large family and looked very cultured, so they couldn't help but stand up from their seats.
"I am, are you Mr. Ji?"
The young man immediately gave them a bright smile, and said in a relaxed and cheerful tone: "Yes, I am Ji Yu who called Director Ren before."
"Mr. Ji, please take a seat." Ren Zhang reacted and quickly asked Ji Yu to sit down.
Ji Yu sat down opposite them.
A waiter came over and he asked for a glass of juice.
This remark attracted the attention of Ren Zhang and Xie Yu again.
It is quite uncommon for people like this to drink juice when they come out to discuss important matters. Drinking is inevitable at every dinner table. Most investors will even ask you to drink. Not drinking is a lack of respect.
Ren Zhang hated this kind of table etiquette the most, but he had to bow his head.
Ji Yucai noticed the strange expressions of the two people, and understood immediately, "I am not very good at drinking, I can only drink some juice and water, do you mind?"
"Of course we don't mind. Mr. Ji misunderstood. We are just surprised." The speaker was Xie Yu, who then introduced himself. "Hello, Mr. Ji. My name is Xie Yu. I am a screenwriter. Director Ren and I are friends. Director Ren and I wrote the script for this movie together."
"It turns out to be screenwriter Xie, hello..." Ji Yu almost blurted out the name he had heard of for a long time.
Ren Zhang and Xie Yu are friends, and they complement each other in the novel.
Xie Yu was the primary screenwriter for several of Ren Zhang's later famous films.
It can be said that without one of them, they might not have achieved the later success in the novel. They are both indispensable in each other's career development.
"I wonder where you heard about us, Mr. Ji? Judging from your appearance, you are not from the entertainment industry, right?" Ren Zhang is quite impatient. After a brief greeting, he got straight to the point before the dishes were even served.
"Although I'm not, I know a lot of people in the entertainment industry. You should have heard of Zhou Yuliang, the president of Genting Entertainment, right?"
The two nodded. Who among those in the entertainment industry didn't know Zhou Yuliang?
Take the boy group talent show Youth With Dreams, which his company recently collaborated with a well-known TV station on. It became a hit on the entire Internet after the first episode was aired.
This variety show now appears on at least one hot search every day, and several contestants are highly discussed. It is very likely that phenomenal contestants will appear in the future.
"He is also my partner." Ji Yu knew that they still had doubts about him, so he took out half a reassurance pill to give them first.
The two couldn't help but look at each other when they heard it. If it was really Zhou Yuliang, then it was impossible for the other party to lie to them, but it still needed further confirmation. However, this matter was not the point right now.
Xie Yu's eyes flickered, and he said, "It seems that Mr. Ji is also very capable, but Mr. Ji may not know that our movie is not short of investment. We are already in talks with Tianxing Entertainment."
Ji Yu smiled, "Not only do I know that, I also know that Tianxing Entertainment's requirements are very high, so you have been hesitating and have not signed the contract yet."
Xie Yu and Ren Zhang were shocked. Although this matter was not a very confidential matter, he actually knew it so clearly. Could it be leaked by Tianxing Entertainment?
It should be impossible. Tianxing Entertainment relies on the fact that they are the only one and makes so many demands that are unacceptable to them. They definitely don't want anyone to compete with them.
"You said that Tianxing Entertainment has high requirements, but that was just your guess." Ren Zhang appeared calm.
Ji Yu calmly said the information revealed in the novel: "Tianxing Entertainment is very greedy. Not only do they want a higher share of the profits, they also want the production team to intervene, and they also want you to use the heroine they selected. Am I right?"
Ren Zhang and Xie Yu looked at each other and finally confirmed that the other party was well prepared this time.
"You're right. So before we start talking, we may have to say something in advance. The reason we haven't signed a contract with Sky Star Entertainment before is because their requirements are too high."
When Ren Zhang said these words, he was not only talking about Tianxing Entertainment, but also to Ji Yu.
"I don't want to beat around the bush with you. We can discuss the first one, but we can't accept the second two. From the beginning to the end, I only planned to use my own production team to make this movie. I know my people inside and out, and we are more familiar with each other, so it will be easier to cooperate. Also, the heroine they mentioned is Mo Rusheng. We have learned a little about this actress, and she doesn't quite fit the setting of the heroine."
Ren Zhang was quite subtle about the heroine Mo Rusheng.
Ji Yu knew that the so-called inconsistency involved Mo Rusheng’s background.
The heroine in the movie had been bullied when she was in school, and Mo Rusheng had been on the hot search list for bullying others before. Whether it was true or not, Ren Zhang, who always strives for perfection in his work, does not want such a risk to occur.
"I understand what Director Ren said. I can't guarantee anything else, but there is one thing I can say for sure. If I invest in your film, you can use your own production team. As for the selection of roles, we can only recommend them and will not interfere. The decision is up to you, Director Ren."
When Ren Zhang said these words, he had already prepared himself mentally for the breakdown of the negotiations, but he did not expect to hear such words.
"Is what Mr. Ji said true?"
Ji Yu nodded, "Of course."
Ren Zhang frowned, "Mr. Ji, do you know that the film we are about to shoot is estimated to require at least hundreds of millions of dollars in investment, or even more? With such a high cost, are you still determined to invest?"
Ji Yu smiled and said, "Well, of course I have to read the script first. I am not the only investor this time. There are also two friends. I have to be responsible for them as well."
Ren Zhang and Xie Yu were relieved when they heard this. If the other party agreed without saying anything, they would have been worried.
"Okay, I'll send you both the electronic and paper versions of the script tonight. You can discuss it and then give us a reply. If you are really interested, we can make another appointment to discuss the details. What do you think, Mr. Ji?"
Ji Yu naturally has no problem with that.
After dinner, Ji Yu separated from them.
When we returned to the villa in Yutingyuan, Yuan Shenghe had not returned yet. He had a business dinner tonight and would be back sooner.
Ji Yu soon received the electronic script sent by Director Ren. He took a look at it and found that the other party was still very cautious and only sent one third of it.
He forwarded the script to Zhou Yuliang and Yu Xiaohui.
The former may be busy and did not reply to the message immediately, but the latter's phone rebounded and rang the next second, clearly conveying the other party's anxious or unbelievable mood at the moment.
