Chapter 479: The Film Is Not Bad
???
Lin Yang, who already had no appetite, was "given high hopes" by his mother, and the dark clouds gathering in his heart grew even thicker; he seriously suspected he was picked up from somewhere.
His own father and mother took turns delivering heavy blows, fearing their son might feel too comfortable.
How could Lin Yang not want to win over such a wife, but the person doesn't look highly upon us.
At this moment, the voice of Gebi Laowang drifted into his ears again, sounding sour: "Yue'er, don't you think Old Shen is like a certain animal? An iron rooster, not even a single hair can be plucked from him; he even makes the girl pay when they go out to eat."
Wu Yueer giggled: "It's alright, handsome guys rely on their looks to eat, it's nothing shameful. Besides, if others wanted to treat Shen Yan to a meal, Shen Yan might not even agree."
Wang Sicong looked at the sky, speechless; he couldn't stand this pair of "deer-cart-sharing" lovebirds.
The three people at the neighboring table felt offended.
Damn it! Not agreeing to a treat? Isn't this just a metaphor for themselves?
Let's go, let's go, this meal can't be eaten anymore.
At nine o'clock the next morning, Shen Yan and Wang Sicong arrived at Guangxian Media in Changning District, which was the company Xu Zheng was signed to. The filming and promotion of "Tai Jiong" required a total of 35 million in funds, of which Shen Yan invested 20 million, and the remaining 15 million was provided by Guangxian Media.
Inside the screening room.
Two rows of seats were arranged in close order.
After being separated for nearly half a year, Shen Yan saw Xu Zheng with his shiny, glowing head again.
Different from the past, at this moment, Xu Zheng exuded a unique charm, his eyes becoming deeper, revealing a sense of confidence and firmness.
His face was more resolute, as if he had undergone a baptism of growth.
It seems this directing career has given him many insights.
Seeing Shen Yan and Wang Sicong arrive together, Xu Zheng showed 120,000 percent enthusiasm and said: "Boss Shen, in just a few months, you have transformed into a new internet tycoon. Congratulations, congratulations!"
Facing Shen Yan, Xu Zheng no longer acted as casually as before.
The form of address changed from "Old Shen" to "Boss Shen."
There was no help for it; the other party was a tycoon from a wealthy family, while he was just a slightly famous small star.
The gap in status was right there.
Shen Yan keenly sensed the subtle change, but couldn't be bothered to care, and said politely: "Director Xu seems a bit different; it seems this filming experience has been very rewarding."
"Haha! A few insights!"
Next, Shen Yan briefly introduced Wang Sicong to Xu Zheng. Because he had been given a heads-up beforehand, Xu Zheng acted very humbly in front of Wang Sicong.
After all, this was the young master of the country's largest cinema chain, "Wanda Cinema Line."
If he stomped his foot, the entertainment industry would have to tremble three times.
Xu Zheng was very pleasantly surprised that Shen Yan knew such a figure and even invited the other party to attend this screening.
This wasn't just finding the right investor; it was practically inviting a golden patron with heaven-reaching abilities.
He knew very well that as long as the film received the approval of Young Master Wang, landing on Wanda Cinema Line was a certainty, and the screening rate would definitely not be low.
It was equivalent to winning half the battle at the start.
Where else could one find such a good thing?
Immediately after, the leaders of Guangxian Media also came up to greet Shen Yan and Wang Sicong, showing full humility, mainly out of regard for Wang Sicong's presence.
Wang Sicong responded with a faint smile, not taking these people to heart.
Three minutes later, the film began to play.
"Hahaha!"
"Bo Ge's expressions are too on point!"
"Bao Qiang is going further and further down the road of being an idiot."
As the plot progressed, bursts of belly-aching laughter would drift from the small screening room from time to time.
Classic scenes were everywhere.
For example, the elevator scene: in front of a ladyboy, Xu Zheng and Bao Qiang thought the other party couldn't understand Chinese and openly discussed whether the person was a ladyboy.
Bao Qiang asked Xu Zheng: "Do you think this person is a ladyboy?"
Xu Zheng: "Let me tell you, all the beauties you see in Thailand are ladyboys."
Bao Qiang: "Do you dare to bet?"
Xu Zheng: "What do I have to be afraid of? Do you dare to ask?"
"I dare!"
"Then ask!"
The two were pulling back and forth crazily, while the ladyboy stood in front without saying a word, which made the two discuss even more unscrupulously, since the other party couldn't understand anyway.
As it turned out.
Just as they were getting off the elevator, the ladyboy's phone rang. After answering, the ladyboy actually blurted out in Mandarin: "Hey! I'm in the elevator, there are two idiots in the elevator."
Xu Zheng and Bao Qiang were dumbfounded, their expressions truly spectacular.
The extreme contrast left the few people present laughing and crying.
After the screening, the Guangxian leaders gave Xu Zheng high praise, calling this comedy film full of selling points and much better than they had expected.
"Old Xu, you are quite talented as a director."
This sentence was undoubtedly the greatest affirmation for Xu Zheng, and he grinned, showing a mouthful of white teeth, beaming with joy.
The other two executives said: "The plot is quite good, the visuals are smooth, it's just hard to say if it will be a box office hit."
After all, they were only a minority and could not represent the taste of the general public.
Compared to the others' worries, Shen Yan felt completely at ease.
It's settled!
The film's restoration was extremely high. If it could be released on Wanda Cinema Line, it would undoubtedly be like adding wings to a tiger, with a very high possibility of selling out and even exceeding the original box office.
Shen Yan patted Xu Zheng on the shoulder, giving his affirmation: "The film is shot well. Send it for review as planned. I have some matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving first. Let's keep in touch by phone."
After saying this, he cast a glance at Wang Sicong, and the two walked outside side by side.
Leaving Xu Zheng and the others to look at each other in dismay.
Watching their receding figures, Xu Zheng was like an ant on a hot pan, scratching his ears and cheeks in anxiety.
He raised his hand, struggling for a long while, but still didn't call out to stop them.
A Light Chaser Animation executive couldn't help but ask: "Xu Zheng, what does Shen Yan mean by this? Whether it's a go or not, he should at least give us an answer."
Another executive said: "Shen Yan seems quite satisfied; he might need to discuss it with Wang Sicong. Let's wait a couple of days, then have Xu Zheng go and sound him out."
"Let's send the film for review first. We have plenty of time anyway. If it really doesn't work out, we can contact other cinema lines after we get the screening dragon seal."
The others had no choice but to leave it at that for now.
On the way back, the Maybach wove through the heavy traffic; the heavy rain had just ceased, and a seven-colored rainbow spanned the sky like streaks of brilliant thoughts.
A beautiful sight to behold!
Inside the car, Shen Yan steered the wheel while asking: "How about it, the film is alright, right?"
Wang Sicong, in the passenger seat, nodded approvingly.
"The concept is novel, it's full of laughs, and the target audience spans all age groups. I feel the box office results definitely won't be bad. I'll have someone follow up on it later."
Whether out of the goal of making money, or out of respect for Shen Yan.
Wanda Cinema Line would take this film.
Shen Yan's lips curled up slightly, clearly having anticipated this; he didn't even mention the matter of a contract.
That would appear too pretentious; he trusted the other party would make reasonable arrangements.
