Love Brain Awakened [Rebirth]
Chapter 27
The wind from the balcony carried the coolness of the summer night, looking down was a bustling night scene, and one could have a panoramic view of the feasting and feasting lights of the entire Dragon City.
Lan Song looked very well-behaved even when he was sitting. He looked at Xiao Qingming and said softly: "Mr. Xiao, Axi mentioned to me about you and Mr. Ye. It's my fault. In fact, I I feel that what you just said to Axi, the two methods are not contradictory."
He took the initiative to pour wine for the two of them, "You can secretly contribute money to help Mr. Ye overcome the current difficulties, and then think of a way to let him know that you paid for it. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"
"That's right," Lin Xi lifted her chin to Xiao Qingming with a proud face, "Look, how thoughtful Xiaolan is for you."
Responding to the other party's reproachful look, Xiao Qingming neither agreed nor opposed, but only responded with an ambiguous "Thank you for your opinion, I will consider it".
This rejection means more than acceptance.
Lin Xi was about to say a few words for his baby, but the phone in his pocket rang. He glanced at it, then stood up, patted Lan Song on the shoulder, and signaled him to entertain the guests first, while he went to the room to answer the phone.
Seeing that Lin Xi closed the study door, Lan Song turned his eyes to Xiao Qingming who was sipping his wine. He lowered his eyes and said, "Mr. Xiao, do you think...the method I just said is a bit despicable?"
Xiao Qingming didn't answer, he waited for the other party to continue talking.
"Actually, I like Mr. Ye's songs and dramas very much recently, and I have watched a lot of his past videos and materials on the Internet. He is a very enthusiastic and sincere person. I think if it is him, once you fall in love with someone If there is one thing, we will definitely work hard to fight for it.”
Lan Song raised his eyes to look at Xiao Qingming, and said with a smile: "So, if a person like him falls in love with someone, he will definitely devote himself [-]%, just like a moth to a flame."
Xiao Qingming sat up straight, and couldn't help but look at the beauty in front of him seriously.
"A moth escaped from the fire, and it must be afraid of the fire, but... the firelight still has a fatal attraction to it."
"Mr. Ye once loved you so crazily. Even if he can let go of this kind of love, it should still be imprinted in his bones."
Lan Song stroked the hair next to his ear, and there was a gentle temperament in his gestures, but his words at this moment were like whispers of a demon, tempting the listener to fall.
"So, trapping him with love is the only and best way."
"You..." Xiao Qingming narrowed his eyes slightly.
The other party smiled again, "What's more, he is such a warm and kind person. If the filming of this drama has already started and he knows that you are helping him behind the scenes, he will not be able to repent. Because, if it is him, he will not do anything because he let him Everyone else's efforts are in vain, isn't it?"
Tilting his head, Lan Song's movements were a bit mischievous.But Xiao Qingming's heart was shocked.
He was right, maybe he can donate the money for playing songs, but if the film project starts, it will not be Ye Liuxing's business alone.
Xiao Qingming couldn't help admiring this gentle beauty.Seriously, Lan Song has never seen Ye Liuxing, and relying on those video materials alone, the analysis is very accurate.
"Thank you, I will think carefully about what you said just now. But..." Xiao Qingming's gaze at him became meaningful, "Mr. Lan, you are different from the rumors outside."
Lan Song covered his mouth and smiled lightly, "Mr. Xiao was joking, but I don't know anything about it. I cook at home and take care of the house all day long. At most, I'm chasing stars."
"No," Xiao Qingming looked towards the study in the French window, "I think you are much better than Lin Xi."
Lan Song was stunned for a second, and then said softly: "I'm not great, but I know what love is."
He put his hands on the table and rubbed his fingers together.Xiao Qingming couldn't see his expression clearly, but he heard him say: "Love is the ultimate insanity, whether it's sincere or calculating, in order to get that person, even... even if it's smashed to pieces."
……
Lin Xi had been on the phone for a while, and when he came out, the guest had already walked out from the balcony.
"What, is something wrong?"
"Well, I have something urgent to do first."
He saw that Xiao Qingming's expression was not as slumped as before, and he took the initiative to send him to the door. He raised his eyebrows, "Hurry back and help your family's big star? Xiaolan's method can still be used."
Lan Song didn't follow, he was cleaning up the mess on the balcony.
Xiao Qingming pondered for a moment, then suddenly patted his friend on the shoulder, his eyes were unclear, "Lin Xi, you... cherish him."
"?" Lin Xi frowned, and pushed him disapprovingly, "Okay, who do you think is like you?"
He is different from Xiao Qingming, he will not live or die for anyone.
"..." When the words came to his lips, Xiao Qingming finally chose to remain silent.
He only hopes that all the established fates in this life can be changed, whether it is him and Ye Liuxing, or... Lin Xi and Lan Song.

"Yes... Mr. Liu, I know that the costume drama market is relatively cold now, but please believe me, I have confidence in the script in my hand... That's it... Well, then when will you go back to China... Okay, then Don't bother you now, goodbye."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Liuxing's whole body was deflated like a ball, and he slumped his shoulders on the spot and let out a long sigh.
"Why, Mr. Liu is not interested?" Yu Xiaomei frowned tightly.
It's been almost a month, and the script has been dug up, but once the budget of the entire project is released, the initial cost is estimated to be around 5000 million.With the current cash flow of the company, it is absolutely unaffordable.However, Ye Liuxing and the others contacted several film and television companies, and except for a few who directly refused, some of them had ambiguous attitudes.
"Well, he said that he is in the United States now, but I just heard the opening song of the Central News Network on the phone..."
Yu Xiaomei couldn't bear to hit him: "...Maybe, he has the habit of following news on a regular basis?"
Ye Liuxing returned a look of "Do you think it's possible?"
"Okay..." She pulled out her chair and sat down, "If it's true that no one is willing to invest, then forget it!"
The reluctance of those big companies to buy shares is due to many reasons. First, the market for costume dramas is currently in a downturn. In recent years, bad dramas have been frequently released. There is also a lack of innovative works on this theme, and audiences are unwilling to pay.Secondly, Ye Liuxing's position is awkward.He flew away from Xingyao solo. Although Xingyao's side was very quiet, he had unilaterally broken up with President Xiao after all.When the situation was unclear, no one dared to act hastily. If he offended Dong Cheng invisibly, it would be too much to walk around.
Yu Xiaomei really disapproves of the project "Mu Mingyu, the Empress of a Generation". A man disguised as a woman and gay is simply walking on the edge of danger.
"No." Ye Liuxing slammed his fists on the table lightly, encouraging himself, "I won't give up easily! If there is really no investor, then..."
He looked at the agent and said frankly: "I can sell my house, and with the bank loan, I should be able to make up enough money."
Yu Xiaomei was stunned on the spot, and it probably took several seconds to digest the other party's words, she immediately vetoed: "No, you are too risky. If the movie loses, you will have nothing - no, you will still be in debt. "
She understood what Ye Liuxing meant, and sold the mansion in the city center, and then mortgaged the company to the bank to apply for a special loan, but if she lost the bet, Ye Liuxing would be in a doomed situation.
"Sister Xiaomei, listen to me, I didn't make this decision on a whim, I've been thinking about it for more than two weeks." Ye Liuxing's expression was very serious: "These days I'm at home and I'm watching the ancient costume movies of the past three years. After going through them all, among the 31 films, [-] are light comedies, five are martial arts, four are suspense, and one is horror.”
"You have also read the script of Mu Mingyu. It is not only a biography, but the relationship between him and He Lanjue is also very touching and embarrassing. I really think that as long as it is filmed well, it will attract many audiences who like historical dramas. , the box office will not be bad."
Ye Liuxing is not a fan of the whole thing. He has spent a lot of time and energy researching theatrical movies in recent years, and he is quite confident in this script.
Yu Xiaomei brushed her short hair that was just done early in the morning, feeling irritable and helpless: "Meteor, why do you always choose the most difficult road to walk?"
Leaving Xingyao and rejecting the overtures of Xiao's siblings, Ye Liuxing chose to walk on a tightrope every step of the way.
Obviously, you can seek stability...
"Sister Xiaomei," Ye Liuxing could see that she did not agree with his decision, Yu Xiaomei was thoughtful, and always considered far more risks than he did.
"If I was always afraid of this and that, and just wanted to take the smoothest path, then maybe I would be like this for the rest of my life." Ye Liuxing smiled, "Benefits are directly proportional to risks, and I can afford more than that." If others have more risks, then I may also get hundreds of thousands more benefits than others!"
"As long as there is a 1% chance, you can gamble."
"You..." For a while, Yu Xiaomei couldn't find any words to refute.
The delicate and beautiful face in front of her is determined and confident, and her starry eyes are full of brilliance.In a daze, Yu Xiaomei seemed to see Xiao Qingming's shadow on Ye Liuxing.
This kind of strong decision-making power and eyes that are sure to win are very similar to that tall man.The once high-spirited President Xiao, just sitting there gave people a sense of awe, as if he was in control of everything and represented an absolute victory.
"You said that if I lose money, I will become a pauper in debt, but what if I succeed?" Ye Liuxing's eyes flashed with the desire to win, "Then——"
"Then you will soar into the sky and blossom like a brocade." Yu Xiaomei continued for him.
Ye Liuxing clapped his hands together, full of fighting spirit, and said, "Since it's a high-return investment, of course we have to take a gamble."
Yu Xiaomei's gaze towards Ye Liuxing became complicated, maybe even he didn't realize that the way he thinks about problems now is different from the way he used to be immersed in love.The current Ye Liuxing is completely analyzing and judging from the perspective of a businessman.
However, a phone call interrupted Ye Liuxing's bet.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang? Yes, I'm free, I'm free now! Well, okay! I'll go over now!" Ye Liuxing hung up the phone, unable to stop smiling: "Mr. Zhang from Shengchuan said he was interested in the script. , ask me to talk to him now."
This unexpected joy came suddenly, Ye Liuxing immediately called Wen Zicheng and asked him to bring the script to the agreed place.
As soon as eight o'clock arrived, Ye Liuxing and the others came to a high-end tea house in the west of the city.
"Hello, may I ask you two?"
"Hello, we have already made an appointment, the 'Yazhu' room."
"Okay, this way please."
This tea house is of Chinese classical style. Walking in through the gate, there is a courtyard pool in the middle, surrounded by green bamboos, and the elegant and quiet atmosphere is refreshing.
Ye Liuxing felt a little more confident in his heart.The other party set the meeting place here instead of the wine bureau, and it was obvious that they really wanted to talk about the script with sincerity.
The waiter pushed open the door of the box for them, and there were already two young men sitting inside, one was Zhang Chuan whom Ye Liuxing knew, and the other was wearing a peacock blue shirt.
Few men can control this kind of flamboyant color, but the other party's handsome features, the lazy and cynical temperament of supporting his chin with one hand, completely suppressed this blue willfulness.
"Mr. Zhang, hello."
"Meteor, come and sit down."
Zhang Chuan, president of Shengchuan Culture.Sheng Chuan is not considered a big company in the industry, but Zhang Chuan can be regarded as a rich second generation who came out on his own. The company is medium-sized, but has a lot of contacts.
Sheng Chuan also took a stake in the projects invested by Xingyao in the past. After a while, Ye Liuxing and this young Mr. Zhang also considered to be acquaintances.He had contacted Zhang Chuan before, when he said that he was abroad and we would talk about it when he came back.
There is a high probability that there will be no more content since then, but today Zhang Chuan took the initiative to ask him out.
"Mr. Zhang, this is Wen Zicheng. He wrote the script. He is also a famous director. He has directed several plays before."
Zhang Chuan greeted the two of them to sit down, and offered to pour two cups of Kung Fu tea, with a very friendly attitude. "Director Wen, right? You're really young and promising."
"Let me introduce you, this is Young Master Lin."
"Hi Young Master Lin." Ye Liuxing and Wen Zicheng greeted at the same time.
But this Young Master Lin didn't give Wen Zicheng the slightest look, and only stared at Ye Liuxing, "Mr. Ye is said to be the face of the entertainment industry, as expected..."
He paused for a moment, and said meaningfully: "Your reputation is well-deserved."
"...Young Master Lin has won the award." Ye Liuxing has been in the business for so many years, it is not that he has never met him and teased him with his appearance. However, this Young Master Lin does not have the hint of a certain color like some big bosses, on the contrary. ...He felt that the other party's eyes contained something he couldn't understand.
Ye Liuxing didn't think about it, his target today was Zhang Chuan.
"Mr. Zhang, I brought the script. Let Zicheng tell you about the details. This script was carefully written by him. It is most appropriate for him to introduce it to you."
Ye Liuxing glanced at Wen Zicheng, who began to tell them the whole story.
On the tables made of rosewood, one cup of tea was kept after another. Wen Zicheng didn't finish the whole script until the waiter came in to replace with new tea.
Zhang Chuan didn't speak, but looked at Lin Shao next to him, as if asking for his opinion.But the man in the peacock blue shirt just picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip.
Afterwards, Zhang Chuan laughed: "This script sounds quite interesting. But..."
He sighed, and then said to Ye Liuxing: "Now you know that in this market, there are too many costume dramas, and they don't sell well. Although 5000 million is not a big number, I have to go back and think about it."
"Yes, it's normal for you to think about this. However, I have one more thing to add," Ye Liuxing told Zhang Chuan again what he had just persuaded Yu Xiaomei.
"Mr. Zhang, no matter in terms of the quality of the script or the statistics of theaters in recent years, I am confident that the movie "Mu Mingyu" will not let you lose money."
Zhang Chuan was about to speak, but Lin Shao, who had been silent beside him, suddenly asked, "When the time comes, will you play the role of Mu Mingyu yourself?"
Ye Liuxing was stunned for a second, then nodded: "Yes, I will play Mu Mingyu."
Wen Zicheng, who smelled something unusual, hastily added: "Actually, I wrote this character for traffic. No one is more suitable for the role of Mu Mingyu than him!"
Lin Shao took a special look at him, and just took another sip of tea, "Don't be nervous. I'm just curious, but..."
His lazy eyes flashed, and he asked casually, "Mr. Wen is so nervous, are you a couple?"
As soon as these words came out, Ye Liuxing's eyes widened slightly.Wen Zicheng next to him raised his voice and denied: "No! We are just friends, and we are also working partners!"
Afraid that Ye Liuxing would mind, Wen Zicheng glanced at him carefully, and this small gesture was naturally noticed by the other party.
Lin Shao shrugged, "Relax, I'm just curious, you guys continue."
This little episode didn't affect Ye Liuxing, he kept looking at Zhang Chuan: "Mr. Zhang, I'm a little exaggerating, but I believe that I will be the best Mu Mingyu!"
"Of course," Zhang Chuan smiled politely: "Meteor, I am assured of your acting skills, but, as I said just now, I will study this when I go back, okay?"
"Of course, that's your trouble."
Zhang Chuan's attitude was obviously not perfunctory, Ye Liuxing had a faint chance of winning, he kept the script, and then returned with Wen Zicheng first.
After the person left, Zhang Chuan asked the waiter to change the tea again, and then looked at the man next to him who was flipping through the script: "Lin Yi, why did you ask him if he and the man surnamed Wen are a couple?"
It was embarrassing even for him.
Lin Yi propped his chin with one hand, and said boredly: "Didn't you read the news? Didn't you write that Ye Liuxing got a little director recently?"
Zhang Chuan poured tea for him, disapprovingly: "The one whose surname is Wen? How is that possible? I said, no matter how stupid that Ye Meteor is, it's impossible to let that guy Dong Cheng go and choose such a guy, right? This is the same as... "
He picked up the teacup in his hand and compared, "I don't want the Tieguanyin that costs tens of thousands of catties, it makes sense to drink a pot of broken tea leaves that cost five yuan on the side of the road!"
"Maybe, after being scalded by Tieguanyin, people like half-cold broken tea leaves?" Lin Yi closed the script and threw it into Zhang Chuan's arms.
"Don't you find it interesting?"
Zhang Chuan didn't think so.He and Lin Yi are high school classmates, and they usually have a good relationship.When the two of them got together a few days ago, he accidentally said that when Ye Liuxing approached him to invest, Lin Yi said that he would be the host and asked Ye Liuxing to come out and have a talk.
In reality, Zhang Chuan is like everyone else, Ye Liuxing is a hot dog, so there is no need to make this trip.Regardless of whether he broke up with Dong Cheng or not, he was with Xiao Qingming after all, and it would be a good thing if he didn't get involved.
Seeing Lin Yi like this, Zhang Chuan immediately had a bad feeling, "Hey, don't you mean..."
The lazy and extravagant man just drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, then stood up, "Let's go, I'll pay for the tea today."
Zhang Chuan was stunned for a moment before chasing after him, "Hey, who needs you to pay, it's not that I don't have money..."
……
The streamlined Porsche drove into the garage, Lin Yi got out of the car, and there was already a driver waiting beside him.
"Third Young Master."
Throwing the key to the other party, Lin Yi noticed the red BMW behind the garage, and asked, "Didn't Ruxuan say you'd be back today?"
The driver laughed along: "I heard from Madam that Miss seems to have changed her mind and won't be coming back for the time being."
Hearing this, Lin Yi frowned, and after walking to the garden, he immediately dialed the phone.
On the other end of the phone, his younger sister's voice was full of resentment, "If I don't answer, why should I? Yesterday Sun Qian said that she heard Zheng Xin and others still talking about me being dove by Xiao Qingming. If I join her this time Birthday party, I will definitely be laughed to death! I won’t come back, I won’t come back!”
Lin Yi persuaded her a few words, but she was still crying and hung up the phone.
The driver standing beside him could hear it clearly, and couldn't help but sighed: "Miss has always been high-minded. It's been several months, and I still can't let it go."
In January of this year, Lin Ruxuan was let off by Xiao Qingming at the Dragon City Hotel. Originally, only Xiao Lin and his family knew about it.No wonder Lin Ruxuan was too flamboyant beforehand, and everyone in the celebrity circle knew about it.
Later, this matter went away. How much envy was envied in the early stage, and how much discussion and ridicule followed.In the end, Lin Ruxuan couldn't take it anymore, and she ran to England to escape these ups and downs, and she went there for five or six months.
Lin Yi clenched the phone tightly and didn't speak, just quietly looked at the phone interface that had been hung up, his expression became dim...
****
Entering July and August, the entire Dragon City felt like it was roasting on a fire, and it was sweating just by getting up and taking a few steps.
The air conditioner was whistling, and there were several people sitting in Ye Liuxing's office, all talking about Mu Mingyu's project.
Ali bought milk tea from outside and came in, and finally entered the intermission stage.
"Do you really think there is something going on with Zhang Chuan?" Yu Xiaomei bit the straw with suspicion in her eyes.
"Yes," Ye Liuxing was very confident, "5000 million is not too difficult for Sheng Chuan, and he kept saying that he would go back to study that night, which proves that he really wants to consider this project."
Yu Xiaomei didn't want to hit him. At this juncture, anyone who is willing to invest 5000 million without blinking is probably not a fish in water!
Thinking of this, Ye Liuxing's phone rang.At the same time, Yu Xiaomei's mobile phone on the table vibrated suddenly.
Both of them answered the phone together.
"Yes...I'm...Yes, yes, yes, really? That would be great! Yes, tomorrow morning at nine, we'll be there on time."
When Yu Xiaomei put down her phone, she still felt like she was in a fog.
She looked at Ye Liuxing, and announced the good news in an incredible tone: "Just now, Mr. Lu from Koi called and said that he decided to fully invest in our project, and he decided to invest in this show!"
Here, Ye Liuxing blinked, as if digesting the sudden surprise, "Mr. Zhang also called, saying that Sheng Chuan decided to invest in this drama..."
Yu Xiaomei was dumbfounded on the spot.
Why, there are so many fish in water these days, as soon as they come...just two? ? ?
The author has something to say:
Well, Lan Song is definitely a ruthless character!
Lan Song looked very well-behaved even when he was sitting. He looked at Xiao Qingming and said softly: "Mr. Xiao, Axi mentioned to me about you and Mr. Ye. It's my fault. In fact, I I feel that what you just said to Axi, the two methods are not contradictory."
He took the initiative to pour wine for the two of them, "You can secretly contribute money to help Mr. Ye overcome the current difficulties, and then think of a way to let him know that you paid for it. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"
"That's right," Lin Xi lifted her chin to Xiao Qingming with a proud face, "Look, how thoughtful Xiaolan is for you."
Responding to the other party's reproachful look, Xiao Qingming neither agreed nor opposed, but only responded with an ambiguous "Thank you for your opinion, I will consider it".
This rejection means more than acceptance.
Lin Xi was about to say a few words for his baby, but the phone in his pocket rang. He glanced at it, then stood up, patted Lan Song on the shoulder, and signaled him to entertain the guests first, while he went to the room to answer the phone.

"No," Xiao Qingming looked towards the study in the French window, "I think you are much better than Lin Xi."
Lan Song was stunned for a second, and then said softly: "I'm not great, but I know what love is."
He put his hands on the table and rubbed his fingers together.Xiao Qingming couldn't see his expression clearly, but he heard him say: "Love is the ultimate insanity, whether it's sincere or calculating, in order to get that person, even... even if it's smashed to pieces."

"What, is something wrong?"
"Well, I have something urgent to do first."

The delicate and beautiful face in front of her is determined and confident, and her starry eyes are full of brilliance.In a daze, Yu Xiaomei seemed to see Xiao Qingming's shadow on Ye Liuxing.
This kind of strong decision-making power and eyes that are sure to win are very similar to that tall man.The once high-spirited President Xiao, just sitting there gave people a sense of awe, as if he was in control of everything and represented an absolute victory.
"You said that if I lose money, I will become a pauper in debt, but what if I succeed?" Ye Liuxing's eyes flashed with the desire to win, "Then——"
"Then you will soar into the sky and blossom like a brocade." Yu Xiaomei continued for him.
Ye Liuxing clapped his hands together, full of fighting spirit, and said, "Since it's a high-return investment, of course we have to take a gamble."
Yu Xiaomei's gaze towards Ye Liuxing became complicated, maybe even he didn't realize that the way he thinks about problems now is different from the way he used to be immersed in love.The current Ye Liuxing is completely analyzing and judging from the perspective of a businessman.
However, a phone call interrupted Ye Liuxing's bet.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang? Yes, I'm free, I'm free now! Well, okay! I'll go over now!" Ye Liuxing hung up the phone, unable to stop smiling: "Mr. Zhang from Shengchuan said he was interested in the script. , ask me to talk to him now."
This unexpected joy came suddenly, Ye Liuxing immediately called Wen Zicheng and asked him to bring the script to the agreed place.
As soon as eight o'clock arrived, Ye Liuxing and the others came to a high-end tea house in the west of the city.
"Hello, may I ask you two?"
"Hello, we have already made an appointment, the 'Yazhu' room."
"Okay, this way please."
This tea house is of Chinese classical style. Walking in through the gate, there is a courtyard pool in the middle, surrounded by green bamboos, and the elegant and quiet atmosphere is refreshing.
Ye Liuxing felt a little more confident in his heart.The other party set the meeting place here instead of the wine bureau, and it was obvious that they really wanted to talk about the script with sincerity.
The waiter pushed open the door of the box for them, and there were already two young men sitting inside, one was Zhang Chuan whom Ye Liuxing knew, and the other was wearing a peacock blue shirt.
Few men can control this kind of flamboyant color, but the other party's handsome features, the lazy and cynical temperament of supporting his chin with one hand, completely suppressed this blue willfulness.
"Mr. Zhang, hello."
"Meteor, come and sit down."
Zhang Chuan, president of Shengchuan Culture.Sheng Chuan is not considered a big company in the industry, but Zhang Chuan can be regarded as a rich second generation who came out on his own. The company is medium-sized, but has a lot of contacts.
Sheng Chuan also took a stake in the projects invested by Xingyao in the past. After a while, Ye Liuxing and this young Mr. Zhang also considered to be acquaintances.He had contacted Zhang Chuan before, when he said that he was abroad and we would talk about it when he came back.
There is a high probability that there will be no more content since then, but today Zhang Chuan took the initiative to ask him out.
"Mr. Zhang, this is Wen Zicheng. He wrote the script. He is also a famous director. He has directed several plays before."
Zhang Chuan greeted the two of them to sit down, and offered to pour two cups of Kung Fu tea, with a very friendly attitude. "Director Wen, right? You're really young and promising."
"Let me introduce you, this is Young Master Lin."
"Hi Young Master Lin." Ye Liuxing and Wen Zicheng greeted at the same time.
But this Young Master Lin didn't give Wen Zicheng the slightest look, and only stared at Ye Liuxing, "Mr. Ye is said to be the face of the entertainment industry, as expected..."
He paused for a moment, and said meaningfully: "Your reputation is well-deserved."
"...Young Master Lin has won the award." Ye Liuxing has been in the business for so many years, it is not that he has never met him and teased him with his appearance. However, this Young Master Lin does not have the hint of a certain color like some big bosses, on the contrary. ...He felt that the other party's eyes contained something he couldn't understand.
Ye Liuxing didn't think about it, his target today was Zhang Chuan.
"Mr. Zhang, I brought the script. Let Zicheng tell you about the details. This script was carefully written by him. It is most appropriate for him to introduce it to you."
Ye Liuxing glanced at Wen Zicheng, who began to tell them the whole story.
On the tables made of rosewood, one cup of tea was kept after another. Wen Zicheng didn't finish the whole script until the waiter came in to replace with new tea.
Zhang Chuan didn't speak, but looked at Lin Shao next to him, as if asking for his opinion.But the man in the peacock blue shirt just picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip.
Afterwards, Zhang Chuan laughed: "This script sounds quite interesting. But..."
He sighed, and then said to Ye Liuxing: "Now you know that in this market, there are too many costume dramas, and they don't sell well. Although 5000 million is not a big number, I have to go back and think about it."
"Yes, it's normal for you to think about this. However, I have one more thing to add," Ye Liuxing told Zhang Chuan again what he had just persuaded Yu Xiaomei.
"Mr. Zhang, no matter in terms of the quality of the script or the statistics of theaters in recent years, I am confident that the movie "Mu Mingyu" will not let you lose money."
Zhang Chuan was about to speak, but Lin Shao, who had been silent beside him, suddenly asked, "When the time comes, will you play the role of Mu Mingyu yourself?"
Ye Liuxing was stunned for a second, then nodded: "Yes, I will play Mu Mingyu."
Wen Zicheng, who smelled something unusual, hastily added: "Actually, I wrote this character for traffic. No one is more suitable for the role of Mu Mingyu than him!"
Lin Shao took a special look at him, and just took another sip of tea, "Don't be nervous. I'm just curious, but..."
His lazy eyes flashed, and he asked casually, "Mr. Wen is so nervous, are you a couple?"
As soon as these words came out, Ye Liuxing's eyes widened slightly.Wen Zicheng next to him raised his voice and denied: "No! We are just friends, and we are also working partners!"
Afraid that Ye Liuxing would mind, Wen Zicheng glanced at him carefully, and this small gesture was naturally noticed by the other party.
Lin Shao shrugged, "Relax, I'm just curious, you guys continue."
This little episode didn't affect Ye Liuxing, he kept looking at Zhang Chuan: "Mr. Zhang, I'm a little exaggerating, but I believe that I will be the best Mu Mingyu!"
"Of course," Zhang Chuan smiled politely: "Meteor, I am assured of your acting skills, but, as I said just now, I will study this when I go back, okay?"
"Of course, that's your trouble."
Zhang Chuan's attitude was obviously not perfunctory, Ye Liuxing had a faint chance of winning, he kept the script, and then returned with Wen Zicheng first.
After the person left, Zhang Chuan asked the waiter to change the tea again, and then looked at the man next to him who was flipping through the script: "Lin Yi, why did you ask him if he and the man surnamed Wen are a couple?"
It was embarrassing even for him.
Lin Yi propped his chin with one hand, and said boredly: "Didn't you read the news? Didn't you write that Ye Liuxing got a little director recently?"
Zhang Chuan poured tea for him, disapprovingly: "The one whose surname is Wen? How is that possible? I said, no matter how stupid that Ye Meteor is, it's impossible to let that guy Dong Cheng go and choose such a guy, right? This is the same as... "
He picked up the teacup in his hand and compared, "I don't want the Tieguanyin that costs tens of thousands of catties, it makes sense to drink a pot of broken tea leaves that cost five yuan on the side of the road!"
"Maybe, after being scalded by Tieguanyin, people like half-cold broken tea leaves?" Lin Yi closed the script and threw it into Zhang Chuan's arms.
"Don't you find it interesting?"
Zhang Chuan didn't think so.He and Lin Yi are high school classmates, and they usually have a good relationship.When the two of them got together a few days ago, he accidentally said that when Ye Liuxing approached him to invest, Lin Yi said that he would be the host and asked Ye Liuxing to come out and have a talk.
In reality, Zhang Chuan is like everyone else, Ye Liuxing is a hot dog, so there is no need to make this trip.Regardless of whether he broke up with Dong Cheng or not, he was with Xiao Qingming after all, and it would be a good thing if he didn't get involved.
Seeing Lin Yi like this, Zhang Chuan immediately had a bad feeling, "Hey, don't you mean..."
The lazy and extravagant man just drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, then stood up, "Let's go, I'll pay for the tea today."
Zhang Chuan was stunned for a moment before chasing after him, "Hey, who needs you to pay, it's not that I don't have money..."
……
The streamlined Porsche drove into the garage, Lin Yi got out of the car, and there was already a driver waiting beside him.
"Third Young Master."
Throwing the key to the other party, Lin Yi noticed the red BMW behind the garage, and asked, "Didn't Ruxuan say you'd be back today?"
The driver laughed along: "I heard from Madam that Miss seems to have changed her mind and won't be coming back for the time being."
Hearing this, Lin Yi frowned, and after walking to the garden, he immediately dialed the phone.
On the other end of the phone, his younger sister's voice was full of resentment, "If I don't answer, why should I? Yesterday Sun Qian said that she heard Zheng Xin and others still talking about me being dove by Xiao Qingming. If I join her this time Birthday party, I will definitely be laughed to death! I won’t come back, I won’t come back!”
Lin Yi persuaded her a few words, but she was still crying and hung up the phone.
The driver standing beside him could hear it clearly, and couldn't help but sighed: "Miss has always been high-minded. It's been several months, and I still can't let it go."
In January of this year, Lin Ruxuan was let off by Xiao Qingming at the Dragon City Hotel. Originally, only Xiao Lin and his family knew about it.No wonder Lin Ruxuan was too flamboyant beforehand, and everyone in the celebrity circle knew about it.
Later, this matter went away. How much envy was envied in the early stage, and how much discussion and ridicule followed.In the end, Lin Ruxuan couldn't take it anymore, and she ran to England to escape these ups and downs, and she went there for five or six months.
Lin Yi clenched the phone tightly and didn't speak, just quietly looked at the phone interface that had been hung up, his expression became dim...
****
Entering July and August, the entire Dragon City felt like it was roasting on a fire, and it was sweating just by getting up and taking a few steps.
The air conditioner was whistling, and there were several people sitting in Ye Liuxing's office, all talking about Mu Mingyu's project.
Ali bought milk tea from outside and came in, and finally entered the intermission stage.
"Do you really think there is something going on with Zhang Chuan?" Yu Xiaomei bit the straw with suspicion in her eyes.
"Yes," Ye Liuxing was very confident, "5000 million is not too difficult for Sheng Chuan, and he kept saying that he would go back to study that night, which proves that he really wants to consider this project."
Yu Xiaomei didn't want to hit him. At this juncture, anyone who is willing to invest 5000 million without blinking is probably not a fish in water!
Thinking of this, Ye Liuxing's phone rang.At the same time, Yu Xiaomei's mobile phone on the table vibrated suddenly.
Both of them answered the phone together.
"Yes...I'm...Yes, yes, yes, really? That would be great! Yes, tomorrow morning at nine, we'll be there on time."
When Yu Xiaomei put down her phone, she still felt like she was in a fog.
She looked at Ye Liuxing, and announced the good news in an incredible tone: "Just now, Mr. Lu from Koi called and said that he decided to fully invest in our project, and he decided to invest in this show!"
Here, Ye Liuxing blinked, as if digesting the sudden surprise, "Mr. Zhang also called, saying that Sheng Chuan decided to invest in this drama..."
Yu Xiaomei was dumbfounded on the spot.
Why, there are so many fish in water these days, as soon as they come...just two? ? ?
The author has something to say:
Well, Lan Song is definitely a ruthless character!
