Chapter 390

~30 min read 5,906 words

Chen Nuo really wanted to invest a little more in Sina Weibo.

Because the portion of shares he exchanged for his endorsement previously, he wouldn't touch it regardless of the ups and downs of Weibo's stock in the future.

So, seeing Weibo's valuation rising year after year, as an ordinary long-term investor, investing a little extra and earning some pocket money later was also quite tempting.

However. Alas.

When the meeting ended, all the shareholders, including Cao Guowei, smiled and gave a bunch of reasons to politely decline him.

They only said they would definitely be steady and maximize Weibo's value, and would absolutely not let Alibaba take advantage.

Chen Nuo was also helpless about this.

Because of Tencent, NetEase. He didn't take them seriously now.

He wasn't like Cao Guowei and these investors, who felt that these two companies had big trees to lean on, and although they were currently weak, they might make a comeback one day.

He knew, comeback my ass.

Tencent doing Weibo was because it hadn't started doing WeChat yet. But WeChat had already been launched in January this year, and it wouldn't be long before Tencent's top management saw WeChat's potential and decided to go all-in on the mobile social field, and Tencent Weibo would gradually be marginalized.

And NetEase.

Hehe, NetEase.

Chen Nuo remembered in his previous life, Tencent Weibo seemed to have stopped operating only in 2020, while NetEase announced its withdrawal in 2014. This gaming company was definitely a typical example of being unable to fight any uphill battles.

Not to mention Sohu, that was just something for the physics teacher to use for comedy.

So, as of now, maybe everyone just felt Sina had the advantage, but he could be certain in his heart that Sina had won, and just needed to wait for the corpse to float by, as his MBA teacher in his previous life said.

A 5 billion valuation is definitely a reasonable price.

Pity.

After the meeting, he didn't go to bother Sina's employees this time and said goodbye directly.

After coming out of Sina and getting into the car, he immediately received a text message from Cao Guowei. After reading the text, Chen Nuo replied with three words: "You're welcome."

And then he let out a gentle sigh.

Alright, now only the matter of "No Man's Land" remains.

On the screen.

A violent explosion occurred.

A truck flew up under the huge impact, was blown into two sections, and following inertia, spun in the air. In slow motion, it looked very shocking.

In the background, the desolate sound of the huqin sounded at the right time, and the banknotes loaded on the truck were rolled up by the airflow generated by the explosion, fluttering one by one, dancing all over the sky against the yellow background.

The truck fell silently to the ground, turning into a huge fireball, burning fiercely.

At this time, the camera switched, sticking to the ground.

The close-up was Ma Su's bloody and unrecognizable appearance, with eyes wide open in death. Behind the corpse were oil drums emitting flames and truck fragments scattered all over the ground.

It looked like a tragic and beautiful feeling.

Subsequently, the camera slowly raised, then switched again, giving a panoramic view.

The boundless, desolate Gobi entered the audience's eyes.

The whole film ended.

Chen Nuo looked at the screen in a daze.

What a "No Man's Land."

What a Ning Hao.

He actually gave him such a big surprise.

"Everyone died, right? Not a single one left, right? You changed the ending, right?" Chen Nuo asked, turning his head.

Ning Potato nodded honestly: "Yes, I feel this fits the theme better."

Chen Nuo nodded, indicating he understood.

Indeed, the name is "No Man's Land," so of course, no one should be able to walk out alive. For a film aimed at participating in competitions and winning awards, this is basically a hard condition that must be met.

Chen Nuo asked again: "Then have you thought about how to pass censorship?"

Ning Potato laughed: "I have."

"Oh? How did you think about it?"

"Hand it to you, Chen Zong." Ning Potato's eyes squinted with a smile, "Chen Zong, do you drink tea? I'll pour you some."

Chen Nuo let out a deep sigh, suppressing the urge to hit someone.

He could only say that fortunately, before going to haggle with the SARFT, he finally decided to come and see the finished film. Otherwise, if he had gone over to make a scene and then saw it was like this, he wouldn't know where to put his face.

Last time Ning Hao invited him, he thought he had seen it in his previous life, so he didn't come. But he didn't expect that this version of "No Man's Land" was quite far from the version he had seen.

If the former was a realistic film struggling in the darkness to find the light.

Then the latter was a thorough black allegory facing the abyss of human nature, full of questioning of human nature and survival, carrying a suffocating sense of sorrow.

For example, the ending.

Ma Su, who originally escaped, died before the final scene, and the lawyer played by Tony Leung knew he couldn't escape the villain's clutches either.

Therefore, he had to choose to use a lighter to ignite the oil drum, blow up the truck, and perish together with the leader of the hawk-trafficking group, Duobujie.

This is undoubtedly a bad ending.

After watching it, it only makes people feel depressed, not relieved.

However, from an emotional logic perspective, it is indeed more coherent than what Chen Nuo saw in his previous life.

Originally, would a lawyer who makes black-hearted money choose to die with the villain to save someone?

Perhaps.

But those art-poisoned judges abroad certainly wouldn't think so.

However, then again, could it be that the ending of the previous life was also what he sees now, but after more than 50 modifications, it had long been unrecognizable?

Very likely.

"Come, Chen Zong, have some tea."

Chen Nuo took the teacup handed over by Ning Potato with a fawning smile. Of course, the tea in the editing preview room wouldn't be any good tea. Chen Nuo took a sip and ended up spitting out half a mouthful of tea foam.

He sighed helplessly, what else could he do? One can only spoil one's own director.

He turned to ask Qi Yuntian: "Is it arranged with Director Zhang?"

"It's arranged, 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, let us go directly to his office."

"Wow! Actually arranged in the office!" Ning Potato shouted in shock, "Not many people have been to Director Zhang's office, Chen Zong, worthy of being Chen Zong, once Chen Zong takes action, what problem could there be!"

His exaggerated appearance made Gulnazar laugh out loud. But immediately, she restrained her smile. Because Director Qi Yuntian glanced at her coldly.

Chen Nuo was in no mood to talk nonsense with Ning Hao now, "Alright, I'll go ask tomorrow first. If it doesn't work, you change it however you need to. Don't ever think about participating in foreign competitions without getting the Dragon Mark. Zhang Yiyi was just lucky, you know?"

Ning Hao laughed: "I really didn't think about that. Why would I do that? With you here, it's not like it won't pass."

"Hehehe."

The next day, 8 AM.

Gulnazar drove the car downstairs to an apartment.

She didn't know where this place was, because these past few days she had been going to different places to pick people up every morning.

Except for yesterday, when she heard Chen Nuo and Qi Yuntian chatting in the car and confirmed that Chen Zong had spent the night with his girlfriend, she didn't know where any of the other places were.

Perhaps this was also one of Chen Zong's houses.

After making the call, she was told to wait another five minutes.

Gulnazar lay on the steering wheel and started letting her imagination run wild.

These past few days, everything she saw and heard kept refreshing her knowledge.

Before this, she felt Director Qi's cold and ruthless appearance was very manly and very attractive to her, but now... she was a bit unsure again.

"Nazar, oh Nazar, didn't you like Director Qi? Why did you suddenly change your heart?" Gulnazar murmured to herself, "And, he already has a girlfriend. Although Liu Yifei doesn't look as good as you, you can't be a mistress."

Immediately, Gulnazar sighed again and said: "Sigh, I know. But if Chen Zong and Director Qi both confessed to me, it would be really hard for me to choose."

Then she nodded again and said: "I understand you, Nazar. But you can't fall in love with everyone you see."

"But I just can't control it."

"Can't control what?" Chen Nuo, wearing a hat and mask, quickly opened the car door, sat in the car, and asked casually.

"Ah!!" Gulnazar screamed in fright.

Chen Nuo said speechlessly: "What are you doing?"

Gulnazar reacted, and her face instantly turned red enough to bleed, "Sorry Chen Zong, I, I didn't notice you had come in."

"Oh. Who were you talking to just now?"

Gulnazar said with a red face: "No, no one, I was talking to myself."

Weird habit. Chen Nuo nodded: "Then let's go."

"Oh, okay, okay, okay."

Gulnazar was just about to start, when suddenly through the car window, she saw a woman wearing a mask running over from inside the residential area.

She subconsciously stopped pressing the accelerator.

Although she couldn't see her appearance clearly, looking at this woman, she was definitely a great beauty, looking even slimmer than Liu Yifei, with thinner legs and better body proportions.

Her intuition told her that this girl was coming for the man in the back seat.

Chen Nuo was preparing to sleep for a while, and feeling the car didn't move, he asked without opening his eyes: "What's wrong?"

Gulnazar said: "Chen Zong... hmm, it seems someone is looking for you. That girl over there... do you know her?"

Chen Nuo turned his head and saw Gao Yuanyuan running out of the gate, shaking something in her hand at him.

He hurriedly felt his pants pocket.

Oh crap, it turned out he had left in such a hurry that he forgot his phone.

He hurriedly lowered the car window and waved at Gao Yuanyuan.

Gao Yuanyuan walked over, panting, handed him the phone, and said: "You tired me out. You left your phone on the shoe cabinet, and you walked so fast, I couldn't catch up no matter how hard I tried, and I didn't dare to call you loudly."

Chen Nuo smiled: "Thank you for your hard work."

"Alright, you go quickly. Hey... who is this?" Gao Yuanyuan subconsciously glanced at the driver's seat, and seeing it was someone with long hair, she shouted in surprise.

Chen Nuo explained: "This is a new assistant arranged for me by my company. Qi Da is staying at his mother's place these two days, so it's inconvenient for him to come over."

"Oh." Gao Yuanyuan didn't ask any more, "Alright, go quickly. Bye-bye."

"Bye."

Next, Chen Nuo slept almost the whole way, making up for his sleep.

Last night, he had been tossing and turning at Gao Yuanyuan's house until 4 AM.

Gao Yuanyuan wanted to pay him back for the medical expenses he had paid for her in LA, but he didn't want it.

As a result, the two of them started fighting while talking. They fought from the sofa to the bed, and from the bed to the bathroom, leaving him exhausted, including being covered in bruises all over his body.

So much so that when they arrived at the gate of the SARFT, he was only woken up by Gulnazar. He yawned, nodded at the girl, praised her: "You drive well." Then he got out of the car.

Qi Yuntian was already waiting there.

Originally thought that the meeting this morning was just to touch base with Deputy Director Zhang, but didn't expect that not only the main one, but people from a higher level also came.

This caused quite a stir.

Finally, they were divided into two sides in the conference room, 2 people on one side, and more than ten people on the other, with meeting minutes and everything, which could be considered an internal meeting.

Both sides talked for a long time and chatted about a lot.

Among these topics, the one about "No Man's Land" only occupied a very small part. The leaders were more concerned about him as a person.

First, they cared about the recent turmoil, asked about the reason why he announced he would no longer join the theater troupe, and chatted about his future plans, including his relationship with the Oscars, etc.

In short, the meeting started at 9 AM and didn't adjourn until after 12 noon.

Then the leaders were very polite and had a meal with him before leaving.

Gulnazar had been waiting in the car.

Originally, Gulnazar thought she would be called to eat together.

Just like when she was a model before, her model agent often called her to accompany the client to drink and eat.

Regarding this, Gulnazar had always felt very disgusted.

So when she received the call, she was still a bit nervous.

But hearing the end, Gulnazar was surprised.

It turned out the purpose of the call was not to ask her to accompany the leaders to eat, but to ask her to find a place to solve her lunch problem herself, and specifically instructed that Chen Zong said this meal counted as a working meal, and reminded her to take the receipt back to the company to find finance for reimbursement.

It's hard to describe Gulnazar's mood at that time.

But in short, she didn't go to ponder who the woman before was or what her relationship with Chen Zong was.

After Chen Nuo and Qi Yuntian got into the car, Gulnazar wasn't as curious as before about what they were chatting about, focusing on driving her car, as if she had really achieved the eight-character motto Li Jing gave her:

Listen less, look less, don't ask, don't inquire.

"Using a mainstream film to exchange for the censorship of 'No Man's Land'... actually I feel, even if you don't hint like this, there's no problem." After the Cayenne drove out of the compound, Qi Yun said.

Chen Nuo leaned on the back seat and yawned, having just drunk a little wine, he was sleepy again, and said: "It's fine, anyway, at the Hundred Flowers Awards, I did say I wanted to film a mainstream film."

"That's true."

"However, with the current schedule, I estimate I can't be the lead actor."

"Then how to operate, do you have any ideas? Should our company do it ourselves, or say..."

"Cooperate, of course, cooperate with others. See if there are any suitable projects. Let the leaders see our actions early, and 'No Man's Land' can pass censorship earlier."

"Okay."

"It's best to implement this before I go abroad, so I can meet people and see if it's reliable. You should spread the word these two days, inquire in the industry, and see if there are any teams preparing relevant themes now."

"Okay, got it."

Wu Jing walked out of the training camp and saw Xie Nan's car parked on the side of the road at a glance.

He walked over and sat in the passenger seat.

Xie Nan glanced at him and asked: "What's wrong?"

Wu Jing sighed and said: "The script was rejected again."

"How many times?"

"Who can remember clearly. Damn."

"... It's okay, let them change it if there's a problem."

"Hmm."

Wu Jing answered gloomily.

He started wanting to film a military-themed movie in 2008.

Afterward, he found screenwriters, found a team, and even invited several military experts to write the script together, spending a lot of money and consuming a lot of time, finally having a first draft of the script in 2010, and started entering the review process for sensitive themes.

At this time, he wasn't idle either, finding connections to enter a certain special forces unit of a certain military region to eat and live together, preparing for the role, and it had been almost a year so far. In this year, his training went quite smoothly, and his body quickly adapted to the special training in the army. However, in other aspects, it could be described as "at a loss, unable to move an inch."

"What do you want to eat tonight?"

"Whatever, you decide."

Xie Nan looked at him again and asked: "Jingzi, is there anything else you haven't told me?"

"No, what else could there be, just these broken things that are endless, what else could there be!"

The emotions Wu Jing had been holding back in his heart suddenly erupted, "Damn it, why is filming a movie so difficult? The script, the script can't pass, money, money can't find anyone to invest. What's wrong with military themes? What's wrong with mainstream themes? Mainstream themes, military themes can't make money? Who stipulated it? Damn it, they are all a bunch of short-sighted idiots! If this continues, Chinese cinema will be finished sooner or later!"

Xie Nan parked the car on the side of the road, turned off the engine, the twilight outside the window was thickening, and she turned to ask: "Was it rejected by investors again?"

"Yes!" Wu Jing said.

It's hard to say if time could go back, would he still choose this path of turning things around.

But now, he was already riding a tiger and couldn't get off.

He had poured almost all the savings he had accumulated over these years into the preparation of this military film, just to reverse the fate of him completely becoming a supporting villain in action dramas after the box office failure of "Wolf Warrior" in 2008.

Xie Nan was silent for a while and said: "Jingzi, do you still remember 'SPL: Sha Po Lang' four years ago? That alley fight scene between you and Donnie Yen, everyone said you fought particularly well, no worse than Donnie Yen."

Wu Jing twitched the corner of his mouth: "Nonsense. So what?"

"At that time, you and Donnie Yen were actually about the same, but he has already turned things around relying on 'Ip Man'." Xie Nan said softly.

Wu Jing suddenly raised his voice, "So what? You want me to give up?"

"That's not what I meant, and I'm not saying you have to give up. It's just that I'm thinking... if we can't find investment, maybe we can film some commercial films first to save some money. The script won't disappear if it's there, and we can film it when we have money later."

"This doesn't count as giving up? Let me tell you, what I want to film is the real Chinese soldier, not wearing a long gown and playing Wing Chun!" Wu Jing stared at her.

Xie Nan was speechless.

After a while, she made up her mind and said: "Jingzi, let's break up."

One week after Chen Nuo returned to the country, the things that needed to be handled were handled, and the people who needed to be seen were seen.

Currently, only the matter of finalizing the investment for the mainstream film remains.

Afterward, he should go to the United States.

Actually, speaking of which, the start time is still early, but after all, it's a role he hasn't tried before, so this time he still reserved two weeks for himself to go to New Orleans to experience the local customs.

Regarding this film investment, Chen Nuo actually didn't think too much, and didn't think he must make money.

He really just treated it as a one-for-one exchange.

This investment, Chen Nuo just treated it as the promotional expenses for the release of "No Man's Land" and participating in foreign competitions.

Paying 10 or 20 million for this, he felt it wasn't much. At least it was better than letting Ning Hao turn "No Man's Land" into something neither fish nor fowl, or pressing the company's tens of millions of funds at the bottom of the box for three or five years.

10 or 20 million RMB, if he really wins an award at a European film festival, he can sell the copyright back in minutes, right.

During these two days of waiting, Li Jing arranged a meeting for him.

Not a shareholders' meeting or a high-level meeting, but a tea party.

Wanted him to meet the newcomers of Huanxin. After all, he has been abroad for many years, and the artists who have newly joined haven't even seen the face of their boss, which is really a bit unreasonable.

Chen Nuo agreed.

The meeting location was in a small conference room in the Huanxin office building.

When Chen Nuo walked in, a clattering sound of stools suddenly came, and everyone stood up.

Chen Nuo waved his hand and said: "No need to be so polite, everyone sit, sit."

Subsequently, he and Qi Yuntian sat in the main seat together, looking forward at a glance.

There were three he found familiar. Yang Zi, Dilraba, Xiao Zhan.

The other two were names he hadn't heard of in his previous life. One was a handsome boy in his sophomore year at the Shanghai Theatre Academy named Zhang Yuheng, and the other looked a bit like Shu Qi, named Zeng Yuezhi, a freshman at the Central Academy of Drama.

These five people were the current newcomers of Huanxin.

Chen Nuo was somewhat satisfied in his heart.

It seems Tang Qing is still good, at least Yang Zi and Xiao Zhan, the two people whose names he knew, were kept.

He smiled and said: "First meeting, everyone don't be restrained. I came to have a meeting today, actually I'm not prepared to say anything. I know you just joined the company, and you should have many questions in your heart. I'll just answer your questions, chat like friends..."

When Chen Nuo started the Q&A game in the conference room, Gulnazar was accepting an unusually serious conversation in Li Jing's office.

"Well done, I heard from Director Qi that Chen Zong is quite satisfied with your performance these past few days." Li Jing smiled.

If it were before, Gulnazar felt that if she heard Li Jing say this, she would definitely be overjoyed.

But at this time, she could hide the joy in her heart, and her face didn't show too much expression, just said softly: "Thank you Chen Zong, Director Qi, I just tried my best to do my own job well."

Li Jing continued: "You know Chen Zong is going abroad again soon. What are your plans? Are you still prepared to go back and continue being a receptionist?"

Gulnazar said calmly: "Li Dao, however the company arranges it, I will do it, I can do anything."

The expression on Li Jing's face was a bit more satisfied, and she asked: "If, this time the company arranges for you to go to the United States with Chen Zong? Are you willing to go?"

Gulnazar's originally tense expression instantly collapsed. She widened her eyes in shock, her mouth opened unconsciously, full of disbelief, and she blurted out: "Ah!? The United States."

"Do you have a passport?"

"Yes, yes."

"How is your English?"

"I... not good."

Li Jing smiled: "Forget it, it's fine if your English isn't good, because at that time you will mainly be following Chen Zong, helping him with some miscellaneous things. This is an idea of mine. Because the company is going to invest in a new film soon, Director Qi still has to stay in China. The only person left by Chen Zong's side is a driver. If you are willing, I will tell Director Qi and arrange for you to be by Chen Zong's side as his assistant. I believe with your care and meticulousness, you should be able to handle this job. However, this also depends on what you think yourself. Are you willing?"

Li Jing's arrangement was completely different from what Gulnazar had thought before, but now, she almost didn't hesitate and immediately nodded: "Li Dao, I'm willing!"

"... If you want to develop in the direction of a singer, of course there is no problem, but compared to film and television, our company's resources in singing will be a bit weaker."

Chen Nuo looked at the handsome big boy with a flushed face in front of him and smiled, "But you have this idea, I think it's quite good. Your voice is very recognizable. I just heard you sing a few sentences. Although I am a layman, I also feel your vocal conditions are really good, and the emotion is also very in place. If you want to develop as a singer, I think our company can also help you contact some good producers and music teachers in the industry to provide you with some support."

Yang Zi was sour on the side. Her question just now didn't get Chen Zong to answer so much or talk for so long.

Xiao Zhan was so excited that his eyes were a bit red, and his body stood straight, "Yes, Chen Zong, I know, I will definitely work hard and will not live up to your expectations!"

Chen Nuo looked at the time and smiled: "Hmm, good luck, I am very optimistic about you, try to become a cross-over superstar in film, television, and singing in the future!"

"Okay, Chen Zong, I will work hard!"

Looking at Xiao Zhan's high-spirited and excited appearance, Yang Zi couldn't help but curse in her heart, just based on you, you surnamed Xiao, you should go pee and look at yourself!

Chen Nuo said: "Then since there are no other questions, let's stop here for today?"

"Okay! Thank you Chen Zong."

"Thank you Chen Zong."

"Thank you Chen Zong, Chen Zong can you help me sign?" Zeng Yuezhi said.

"I want one too!" Xiao Zhan immediately raised his hand high.

Yang Zi spat fiercely in her heart, said a flatterer, and then also shouted: "Chen Zong, there's me too!"

Dilraba opened her mouth but didn't speak.

Before she came, she originally thought Chen Nuo would talk to her alone, after all... she wasn't like Yang Zi and the others, who were selected through interviews.

As a result, she didn't expect that after arriving today, Chen Nuo was no different to her than to others.

This made Dilraba feel a bit stifled in her heart.

So, not only did she not ask for any autograph, she didn't say much, just said bye-bye with everyone when leaving.

"Wow, actually got Chen Zong's autograph."

"Yuezhi, you are really too bold. Aren't you afraid?"

"I'm not afraid, I am a Nuomi..."

"Awesome, I was so nervous just now."

"Hehe, actually I was the same..."

Listening to Yang Zi and the others whispering excitedly, Dilraba had no intention of speaking at all.

She followed behind Yang Zi and the others, walked through the company's office area, and was about to walk out of the gate.

Just at this moment, she suddenly saw a girl with long hair at the front desk, humming a song while tidying up things, looking like she was in a very good mood.

Dilraba stopped her steps instantly and was stunned.

Not only was the girl very beautiful, which made her feel a bit amazed, but also because looking at the girl's profile, it seemed like her, she was also Uyghur.

Just at this moment, the girl seemed to notice something and also looked up.

The gazes of the two girls met in the air at this instant.

Ever since last year on the program "Best Scene," she was the host, he was the guest, and because of an interview, the two of them got to know each other and then got together.

Wu Jing already didn't know how many times they had broken up in this year or so.

Perhaps this is the fate that underground couples cannot escape.

Sigh. Wu Jing sighed.

His thoughts returned to his current film. What should he do? Is it really necessary to mortgage the house himself and make a desperate fight? Can this film really succeed?

Just as thousands of thoughts were rolling in his heart, his phone suddenly rang.

He grabbed it and looked.

It wasn't Xie Nan, it was Lu Kang Jianmin, the chairman of Chunqiu Times.

This was also the only investor who didn't directly reject him.

But it was only not directly rejecting him.

Director Lu was only willing to add flowers to the brocade, but not willing to send charcoal in the snow, at most, in the 100 million investment he was seeking, under appropriate conditions, he would contribute 20 million.

What are appropriate conditions?

It's when his film is filmed and he lacks post-production costs or promotional costs, Director Lu is willing to pay.

This Fujian boss who runs a film and television company in Beijing is really shrewd to the bone.

Wu Jing took a deep breath, put on a smiling face before answering the phone, then pressed the call button, and said happily: "Hehe, Director Lu, a rare guest, so late, what's the matter looking for your brother?"

There was no greeting on the other end of the phone, and he asked straight to the point in Mandarin with a Fujian accent: "Little Wu, are you in Beijing?"

"No, I'm in Nanjing."

"Then, can you come back tomorrow?"

"Uh, it depends on the situation, I'm in special training here, it's generally not easy to ask for leave. Director Lu, what's the matter, you tell me."

"It's like this, you know I'm an old friend of Li Dao Yang."

"I know..."

When Wu Jing first went to him, he knew that Lu Kang Jianmin's film and television company had invested in "Blind Shaft" seven years ago. This was also the only thing Lu Zong could take out in his many years of film and television investment career. Therefore, he boasted to him at the beginning.

But what does Li Dao Yang have to do with him, Wu Jing? Is it to find him to film?

That must be clarified as soon as possible, don't wait for the other party to ask, and then it will be difficult to refuse.

Immediately, before Lu Kang Jianmin could speak, Wu Jing replied: "Director Lu, hehe, you know, I don't plan to take any roles recently, I just want to get the project in my hand done well."

"Not taking roles. I know you are working on your movie now. Gunfight film, mainstream theme, military theme, right?"

"Yes."

"That's right. You know Li Dao and #¥! they have known each other for a long time, and the relationship has always been good. I just learned a piece of news from Li Dao, saying that they are preparing to invest in a mainstream film. Although the money invested is not much, just 10 or 20 million, but... you know, if they invest, you won't be afraid that no one will invest. You come back quickly."

Wu Jing stood up from the bed to the ground "Investment?"

"Yes, investment. Can you come back tomorrow?"

"Yes, yes, yes..." Wu Jing agreed, just wanting to ask clearly, which company it is, because he really found Lu Zong's Fujian Mandarin hard to understand, and he didn't hear the key words clearly.

But Lu Kang Jianmin had already rattled off: "Little Wu, then you hurry up, you have to know, if you miss this village, there won't be this shop. They are in a hurry over there, prepare the PPT you showed me at the beginning, I will go with you."

"Okay, Director Lu. Director Lu, don't hang up yet, I still want to ask, which company is it?"

"Which company? Didn't I tell you just now? Huanran Yixin."

Huan! Ran! Yi! Xin!

Wu Jing sat back on the bed with a thud.

"Director Lu, are you talking about... Huanran Yixin? Which Huanran Yixin?" He asked again.

"Which other one? Chen Nuo's one."

"Director Lu, you aren't joking with me, are you?"

"What joke would I make with you, I'm drinking with Li Dao now, he just told me, do you want him to tell you himself?"

"No need, no need! Okay, Director Lu, I'll book the ticket now, I'll be there tomorrow morning!"

"Alright, send me a text message after booking the ticket, I'll ask someone to pick you up at the airport."

"Okay."

The phone hung up.

Wu Jing immediately bought the earliest flight tomorrow morning on his phone, then started making calls again, busy for a long time, and finally finished all kinds of preparations.

At this time, he thought of Xie Nan again.

Thought about it, and made a call.

Beep beep beep beep.

It rang for a long time and no one answered.

The next day, Wu Jing was outside Beijing Airport after 9 AM, and got into Director Lu's car.

Lu Kang Jianmin actually came to pick him up personally.

Afterward, hearing Director Lu say that he had already personally helped him arrange the time for this morning through Li Dao Yang, Wu Jing was truly grateful. If Li Dao Yang were in front of him, Wu Jing would really want to kowtow to him a few times.

Lu Kang Jianmin said happily: "Now I just hope everything goes smoothly."

Wu Jing was surging with excitement at this time. In order to catch the flight, he didn't sleep all night yesterday, which was just maybe an hour of sleep on the plane, but he didn't feel sleepy at all now.

He looked at the familiar Beijing street scene and couldn't help but ask: "Brother Lu, can we see Chen Nuo this time?"

Lu Kang Jianmin touched his head and said: "I don't know, Li Dao arranged it with their Director Qi, but I feel... should be able to, right?"

Wu Jing nodded, sighed and said: "Actually, I have always wanted to see Chen Nuo. Even if we can't talk it out in the end, I want to chat with him for a few words."

"Oh? Why?"

"Because... hi, actually I can't explain it clearly. Maybe, I just admire him quite a bit."

Finally, Wu Jing got his wish.

He saw Chen Nuo in the office of Huanran Yixin.

Chen Nuo of course also saw Wu Jing.

When he was in the office of Huanran Yixin, after reading the script outline Wu Jing gave him, his heart was full of emotion.

Swear to heaven, he really thought it was a one-for-one exchange before.

He thought about investing some money in a mainstream film, it didn't matter if he lost some, anyway, it wouldn't be a total loss, just treat it as paying taxes.

Because in his impression, those mainstream films that made a lot of money were released very, very late.

Who would have thought of this?
